I am a first year gardener and I planted my celebrity bush plants to close together, I will thin out between the plants for better air flow. Your video was a great help. Thanks.

This is unrelated to the video, but I had to share. I planted a single tomatillo plant this year. I just thought I would try one out. I probably didn't prune it correctly, and it's spread out 5 feet in all directions. It has hundreds of new flowers every day, and my vines (pumpkin, squash, cucumbers) have benefited greatly from this. The bees absolutely adore this plant. So they come in for the tomatillo and migrate over to the big yellow flowers. I've never had such a good crop! Definitely a must for next year!

I stopped using cages on my tomato plants a few years ago.. I felt like I couldn't get enough airflow to the center of my plants because the cages kept them too bunched up.. So I used cast iron pipe to make a 40' long 8' tall rail that spans clear across my tomato plants.. Then I drop twine down and tie off each branch individually.. As the plants grow I just wrap them around the twine and let them climb up it.. It's a little bit more work at first but it let's me spread my plants out better.. I fell like it has definitely helped slow down the spread of disease some..

I pretty much prune our tomatoes the way you do. Both our determinate and indeterminate tomatoes. I even sometimes shorten the branches so I don't have to remove the whole thing. It seems tomatoes can take a lot of abuse at times. I try to keep air flow and everything off the soil. Half of our indeterminate tomatoes are tied to a trellis. The other half is staked. I don't usually have to stake our tomatoes, peppers or eggplant. But, this season we have had a lot of heavy winds off and on. Even when there isn't any rain. Our growing season here in NNY zone 4a doesn't give enough time for plants to really bush out. So pruning is at a minimum. Thanks for your tips! Take care!

I wish I'd seen this video literally three days earlier. I only just found your channel and I could not find any clear videos on pruning determinates. I have been pruning mostly like I do indeterminates, because that's all I've known. I just got back from vacation for 3 weeks and the plants had doubled in size. So, i pruned everything but the top 3 stem growths and any that had flowers/fruit. The good thing is they're healthy and I have no disease, and i have 8 suckers that I'm going to attempt to re-root and continue growing. But now I feel bad bc I worry I did too much. I didn't even know I'd planted determinate tomatoes until a week or two ago when I learned there was more than one kind of growth.

Thanks for sharing this, Matthew! There is some evidence that the Salicylic acid in aspirin may induce the SAR (systemic acquired resistance) response in tomato plants, which will encourage the tomato plants to use their defense systems. It may prevent the incidence of diseases but may not treat the diseases. So if you’re using it as a preventative (which it sounds like you are), I can see where this might help!

If I’ve got that right, I’d recommend buckwheat- which will give you quick cover right now and then in September you could go in with an oat, pea, vetch blend. You could also do winter rye, but some folks don’t prefer that one since it’s more work to terminate.

I am probably the laziest, most inattentive gardener on the planet. Most years I haven't even tied up my tomatoes at all. They just go crazy all over the ground. We never really have any disease problems and, while we may not always get the biggest crop, we get enough for six of us. Half the time I don't even actually _plant_ tomatoes. They just volunteer from the year before. The only trouble with that is that I foolishly planted romas and cherry tomatoes and they seem to have cross-bred into some weird mutant half-way between the two and then just mostly turned into cherries. And then they just... Didn't come back much at all the next year. Definitely NOT what I wanted. Oops. We're in NEOH and we've got terribly clay, too. I'm finding that the best thing for that is LOTS of grass clippings. I'll even cut the neighbor's yards just to get the grass clippings. I'm cheap. I'm growing indeterminates and I really like the cow panel trellis. I'll probably just cut down some of the underbrush in the local woods and build one out of that, though.
