Happy Saturday! 🌞 Thank you for mentioning us! ❤ The (indeterminate) tomatoes are still going strong! Fruiting, with fresh flowers developing also! They are over a year old now, but sadly, will not be coming back inside for the winter. There is just too much pest potential 😩 I will likely start fresh with seeds from my best determinate plant! Im still knee deep in tomatoes, in the house and on the vine though, so will wait!! ❤ You are SO right about the light requirements! I had them in a sunny room, with grow lights and even 2 grow light bulbs in the overhead light! They grew, flowered and fruited, and I hardened them off (at 11+ feet tall🤣) then moved them outside in early June! (No small feat in Winnipeg aka Winterpeg- 3b!) Our last frost date is 3rd week of May, but I always wait a bit longer! My experience taught me that tomatoes want to grow, no matter what! I cut down 2 of the one year old tomatoes last month- thought it was time, but now they are 2 feet high again! ❤ I was much more relaxed, in general, about growing this summer due in part to having them grow/produce indoors with minimal effort in an unnatural setting! If they could do that indoors, I had to trust that the outdoor tomatoes needed way less worry and coddling in ideal outdoor circumstances 🍅 I dont like to brag, but had an amazing harvest! As long as you give good sun, soil, water and amendments, and stay on top of pests, they will do the rest! ❤ Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! 🎃🧡🍁

Have you tried growing the dwarf tomatoes indoors in winter? I wondered if they would do better. They are an indeterminant, but don't get al large as a big tomato, yet they give full sized tomatoes. I've not used them before and thought I'd try them this summer. If they do well and actually give full size tomatoes as stated, I thought I'd try growing them inside this coming winter. What kind of container did you grow yours in? Did you transplant them or have them in the same container year round? I do the Alaskan bucket system of tomatoes and they do great! Outside that is. Tried bring a couple in, but didn't have adequate light I'm sure.

@@DawnaRo Hello, and sorry for the delayed reply 😊 The tomatoes were my 'oopsie tomatoes'- I didn't mean to start them, but they sprouted during the seed saving process. I just couldn't discard them, so gave them a chance to grow! 😊 I wanted to keep them small (impossible) so as they grew upsized the containers to maximum 5 gallons. They require A LOT of light. They started under an intense grow light in my kitchen that mimics sunshine, but moved to the den that leads to my sunroom with other grow lights. I then moved them all to the sunniest bedroom, had grow light bulbs in the ceiling fixture, grow lights going all day till 9pm. 😆 Im sure smaller tomatoes would do well and be easier to care for! I have a few tomato plants that may move inside this fall, but Im definitely bringing my fqve most productive peppers in. Not to go dormant though! They will go under lights and hopefully keep producing! The main thing is to feed, water, prune and especially stay on top ofany potential pest issues. I had a gnat issue with them, but since changing my system have not had a single gnat in the house. I plan to keep it that way! 😊 Just know before starting that tomato plants change the smell of your home, and for that reason its unlikely that Id ever grow indeterminants indoor again! Even my determinants get to 5ft, but that is more manageable!! Its worth a try, but only if you hqve a lot of space, can provide a ton of light, and don't mind the change in air quality 😊 Good luck!

@@BigChristopher Btw, there were 2 batches- Sept 2020 and Nov 2020 so different stages of growth etc. The Sept babies got to 11ft but were chopped down to 8ft at one point. 😊 Have an awesome day!

This year I did something different and it was extremely successful. I'm in Texas and I had a pair of cherry tomato plants that were really great and produced fruit all the way to December and I wanted to assure I could grow them again this year. I took 6 cuttings and put them in some 4 inch pots with coconut coir instead of soil and watered from the bottom. I was able to keep them this way in a sunny window in the garage and under my grow lights when it might freeze (even in the garage) for 10 weeks. The lack of nutrients slowed down growth way down. Then in mid February I transplanted them into 8 inch pots with soil for 4 more weeks. Now I've put them into the ground and are they doing great. One is already 2 feet tall and has a couple of flowering strands with some marble sized fruit.

Keeping a plant alive through the winter works very well as a source of cuttings for the next season. Cuttings produce plants so much faster than starting plants from seed. You also absolutely know the genetics of the plants you will get when using cuttings. Hybrid varieties like Sun Gold will not produce the same plant from seed that you save but cuttings are clones with exactly the same genetics.

I’m experimenting with a cloned plant from a determinate Celebrity Tomato from a sucker. I have two tomatoes on it now and hope for these two at least to ripen.

I left all my plants to my family and friends when I moved. I’m pleased to here my mother got 29 tomatoes and a bunch of fresh herbs. My neighbor shows me the progress of the jalapeños I grew and they look amazing large peppers growing. I didn’t get to taste anything I grew but my family and friends did and I owe it all to this channel thank you for feeding them and teaching me!

I’ve had the best luck with Cherry Tomatoes throughout the winter.

Back in the 1940's my dad had a tomato plant growing in his family's kitchen window. By springtime, the plant had grown to about 25 to 300 feet long. So he and his older brothers took it, laid it out in a trench with leafy small branches sticking out of the ground. Many tomato plants from one. Another time he placed the potatoes on the rocky ground and covered it in old straw from the barn (probably well fertilized).... Bumper crop of easily harvested potatoes..

I’m with the gardener in Canada, tomatoes go out in June. We had an unusually hot dry summer this year. Our first frost date is mid Sept. It is closing in on mid Oct and still no frost. I’m loving a second growth of my indeterminate tomatoes, thanks to the string method I learned from Brian, no blight this year. I was just wondering if I could overwinter tomato plants. I guess I can. Now, do I want to 🤔. I over wintered three pepper plants last winter, thanks again to this great channel. The overwintering was so successful, I have 12 peppers in containers ready to bring in when the temperatures drop. Thank you Brian for another great informative show.

Zone 6 here. In the fall, take a few of your fave tomatoes, cut them open, and place slices on top of soil in small planter. Place undernporch steps in winter In spring, take out, and you will see little green plants growing from seeds in the tomatoes. Worked great for cherry tomatoes this year. Now i do the same next month with the same tomatoes and have my heirloom tomatoes .🎉

I have a determinate tomato that is crazily still producing fruit 12 months later! I put it in a sunny spot outdoors (zone 9B), but didn’t think it would survive last winter. Then I thought genetics would cause it to die by the end of summer. But it’s actually getting bushier and fruiting even more! Plants are amazing!!

Thank you for the tips!

I put my suckers in mason jar with water. They'll root, and then plant. Ever thought about a hoop house (cattle panels w/ greenhouse plastic) ? Building one this year with an old woodstove for those COLD nights. Rooted suckers in fabric pots. Zone 6B here. We will see.

I literally just done this about a month ago. I just put the prunings directly into a container with fresh commercial garden soil and kept them damp. They are already putting on blooms but I am taking them off for the time being. I am growing rutgers.

I will be covering my two 2' x 16' raised beds and surrounding pathways with 6-mil. greenhouse plastic for the winter months.

Very good video. I am overwintering a habanero plant for its 2nd winter. I grew it from seed and it made it to 12 inches tall first year and only one fruit. I overwintered it last year and it grew to 30 inches tall with 24 fruits this summer. I just trimmed it back and stored it for overwintering today before I saw your vid. I will agree that tomatoes are much better grown from seed and used as annuals. I overwintered 3 tomato plants last year and they survived but did not produce as much fruit as the first year. Thanks.

We have Early Girl! I’m so happy to find out they are indeterminate! I’m in Zone 8. They do incredibly well here. They are planted in the east side of my house so they are protected from the afternoon sun.

Thank you, it brightens my winter blues that are already setting in, I'm going to move my container cherry tomatoes into the greenhouse. Maybe we'll get something.

Bay Produce, a commercial hydroponic green house in Superior, WI, grows all of their produce indoors and will grow their tomato plants up to 24 feet long for local production before they start over. Most of the plant is just vine by that time with just the last few feet with leaves and fruit. I am not sure how old the plant is by then, but it was an interest place to tour.

I'm in NJ zone 7 always do my hot peppers this way. A couple of years ago I started doing this with cherry tomatoes. I cut them way back with just 2 nodes. They take a bit of time to recover from the cut and lack of sun but will grow just fine.. I like getting a huge head start in the spring because the roots are so developed they grow fast and produce quickly .

My zone is 9b but as my husband says, we have several micro-climates in our yard due to the shade and breeze. But I don't think they are in different zones. I am setting up a mini greenhouse in the only sunny winter space in our yard this year.Our first frost date has moved from November 22th to December 7. Our last frost date is supposed to be February 26 but last year it was later. Which is what motivated me to buy the greenhouse.

I have grown Roma's for about 16 months. I used the p2000 light, haven't used the xs2000 for tomatoes yet, they are in use elsewhere. After about a year it started looking tired down below but it was about 8ft tall with just grow lights but the fruit was a little bit smaller than one grown in the grow beds. I finally pinched the top till it produced no more. Oh I live in Pacific northwest

Viparspectra is a good light company with great prices. I have 2 x 450-watt lights from them.

I moved to coastal southwest 10a Florida in August and immediately starteing changing over the backyard from turf to garden. Anyway, we got hit with two nights of 30 degrees a few weeks ago. I covered my tomato plants with frost blanket but a lot of them got shocked and lost their leaves. However, now they are coming back like gangbusters. And earlier in the season we had 75 mph winds that tore up the tomates so I took the torn off branches and stuck them in the ground and they took right off growing.

Thank you! Very good info. Can you please tell us what plants, in your opinion, get better in the 2nd or 3rd year? Peppers yes, what about Okra or eggplant? Also, I love the idea of keeping them alive just to take cuttings ... I think that is a great idea bc cuttings are the same plant, and they will power up, rather than tire out.

Thanks I was just wondering about that. Planted some suckers a month ago directly in the ground, now I'm wishing I would have just stuck them in a container. Grew potatoes in buckets once over winter from "seeds". The little ones from the last year. Not a great idea, seven foot long plant unruly by April 😆.

Then I started seeing mealy bugs. Where did they come from??

I have discovered smthimg i suspect could be a way2 freeze a plant in both space &time. I BLEEV what i observed is that IF a plant has zero light it will get lost in time basically i buried citrus in mulch 1 or 2ft. Deep. Thway I recall it is once I dug down it looked pretty close 2thsame as thday I buried them. I wz pretty shocked. Thats what, 4 or 5 months? I bleev this phenomena needs more research. Again i could be remembering things wrong, &this would likely not work with young plants or sprouts i believe adult plants however are capable of just shutting down without even losing leaves from stress. Ofcourse if SURROUNDING TEMP drops to say 40 to 50°f too consistently, then leaves gonna start fall off in citrus, peppers 1st &then in other plants. Fulll sun or not u probably better have a room temp of 70 plus farenheit b4 u can expect attempt citrus 2fruit indoors. Ok so i gonna try yr method. I also have lots tomatoes with copious root nibs on older stems, that might be worth pursuing also. Then again i do like idea that i program seed 2my local environment. Now. One thing u totally rgot. And this is PROFOUND. One of my elderberry grows leaves thru winter. I have 15 clumps spread around. The others are destroyed by november till spring. We talking down to 10° farenheit. Weeds like dock &wild fennel around it ALSO never killed by freeze. Bcuz they have antifreeze. How? Simple they grow near chicken coop mulch with leaves. Everything downhill of this coop is SUPREMELY HEALTHY. You see gardening amounts 2a a liquid. Manufactured by mulch. I said thick consistent mulch. Plants in that soil will be ridiculously frost hardy. I have had coyote tomatoes seed in February Wister &survive till spring starts April. And always use rainwater. No cmparison 2tap. I say no 2spending 1red cent on gardening i never ever buy anything from Lucifer especially viper lights. When he enforce his chip all that stuff will be wrthless.

Dont you need pollinators to get fruit?

Not for tomatoes or peppers

I'm bummed out. I lost all my tomato plants over a month ago. They were in virgin raised bed soil and a brand new bed. They became diseased and failed. This has happened to all my tomato plants whether here in Lake City or Ocala...both upper Florida. I kept pinching back the old lower growth, but no luck. I'm beginning to think Florida and tomatos don't work. We are hot and the summer was tons of rain. RATS

If you did new soil that you bought, you must “cook” your soil to kill the nematodes in FL. COVER your soil with a black tarp for no less than a month and you will have better luck with your next planting. I had the same thing happen when I started my raised beds. My entire garden, especially beets and vining plants got completely destroyed by nematodes just as they were getting close to blooming.

@@ellabradshaw6310 I will try that. The squash beatles cut my vines right off too. This year was a real pain. The rabbits ate my bean plants, but left the beans...so nice of them. I hope next year is better.

Ok nice video but I don’t see your tomatoes growing on winter. Nice chat

Zones, some gardeners go by these identified zones to let us know which varieties are annuals (won’t live thru cold or heat or perennials. Which plants thrive and which struggle. It also helps us with planting dates to keep plants alive. It has to do with temperatures and I think humidity.

Blueupgreendown Thank you for taking the time to explain that. It's very organised. I have never heard of anything like that in the UK. I know we are small but the difference in growing season length between Scotland and Cornwall is substantial. So, are these zones something that government has defined or was it done by some agricultural body? Were the zones created specifically to inform plant growing, or have they been borrowed from some government admin thing?

Nowthen AD, I hope you get this answer, even tho it is a year late. The growing zones referenced in most US writings are calculated by the US Department of Agriculture and are intended to help professionals and amateurs select the best plants for their area. However, the zones are based on only one factor- -lowest temperature during the winter, averaged over a number of years. The zones do not reflect length of growing season, precipitation, humidity, hottest temperatures, etc. In parts of the USA, they work fairly well, but in other parts they are almost useless. I have farmed and gardened in the midwest, east and northwest of the USA, and I know this from experience. If you want to see the US zones, here is a link: planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/ The UK may have a similar system, but before relying on it, find out what factors it reflects. There are other systems in existence. For the western US, I rely on a system published by Sunset Garden Guide.
