I enjoyed your good advice and enthusiastic delivery, thank you👍 I grow beefsteak tomatoes from seed here in my veg patch in the county of Shropshire UK. My favourite variety is Costoluto Di Parma, it’s an Italian variety that’s deeply ribbed (Costoluto means ‘ribbed’ in Italian). I grow my beefsteak’s in a poly tunnel, as we’re in zone 8 with a short season and the tunnel allows those extra weeks of growth so that those big tomatoes can ripen aplenty. I’ve grafted some this year onto Submarine root stock. I found it to be an interesting but easy process and I’m hoping it brings even better results.

New sub here. I've been teaching myself to grow vegetables this year in s. Tx. I start everything from seed indoors and have battled everything from drought to pests and now lots of daily showers. My beefsteak tomatoes have only started to produce fruit within the 3 weeks. I want to ask about the indoor grow light you mentioned in this video? What kind is it and where do I find it please? I'd like to grow some things indoors but haven't been able to find affordable lights. Thank you so much in advance.

I love your video. My first year gardening in pots&grow bags. Squash&beefsteak tomatoes started out good but when this Florida heat&sun locked in my plants began to die down. Still have tomatoes but plants don't look good. Tomatoes were growing&bursting open when red&green. Can plants be revived, can I cut them down for possible reproduction? What would u recommend?

@colonyhillshomestead4683

Once plants begin to bloom and produce pruning is rarely beneficial. Possibly a mild fertilize or a small amount of calcium. When growing in containers soil can be depleted quickly of nutrients. Heat is brutal this year

I didn't know that beefsteaks come in different varieties; I thought beefsteak WAS the variety. And I didn't know there were both determinate and indeterminate varieties. So I don't know if they will vine & grow 10' tall, or stay short & manageable 😢.

I grow an heirloom variety that is indeterminate and mine literally will get crazy tall but I prune them to stay less than 5 or 6 feet

I only have small garden plot and tall tomatoes have to go in the back, so I guess I'll have to rotate my soil.
