💜Hey y'all. I just want to tell everyone in the R.&R. Community....💜. You can do this too. I found Jess about 3 years ago I didn't think I could be a " gardener ", but I started off with a few raised beds. And today, I have a yard my mother calls an oasis. Trees🌳, plants🌿, flowers🌹, veggies🍅, and more🍍🌽🍀🍆🌿🍊🍠🌾🍐🌱🍯.. You name it I grow and propagate it. It's looks like a long road sometimes. But today I spent some time walking through my yard and was truly in awe of how transformative plants can be in so little time.. * get fruit trees in now not later * plant asparagus now not later * put a spot in your garden where you can look and see how not only you shaped your garden. But how it shaped you . 💜

So true! She is the tomato boss. 😂

Wow. The joy on her face while talking about tomatoes 🍅. I have definitely found my people. When I start talking about growing tomatoes or the different varieties I have started peoples faces just glaze over 😂

The way my grandma's place was set up, you walked out the back door past a couple flower beds, a swing under the weeping willow, the vegetable garden, and on the back side of the garden was the chicken coop. Every summer, I would hide a shaker of salt behind the chicken coop. So when grandma was sitting under the willow, her back was to the vegetable garden. I would sneak tomatoes back to the chicken coop. And have a little snack. Those were some of the best days of my life. Even better when volunteers popped up behind the coop and grandpa asked why she planted tomatoes behind the coop. She told him Janna thinks she's sneaking tomatoes from the garden 😂(I was 6)

I started watching your videos during 2020. I have followed all of your tips for tomatoes and have always had an abundant harvest. As I was planting out my tomatoes this year in my 6B area, I was thinking about your parting words "I bless you", and thought, "Yes. You have blessed me with confidence and knowledge and in turn blessed my family and neighbors." Thank you for sharing your garden!

I think Kitten George sent you Zucchini to keep you company while you garden like he did!🥰 I miss Kitten George.

Jess, I’m a 63 year old grandma from Tennessee and you are my gardening mentor. I always learn something I didn’t know and I’ve been gardening a Long Time. Love you, girl!

Please do these kinds of videos for other veggies! So helpful!

Yes! I’m looking for a great informative video about bell peppers (or peppers in general). My pepper plants have some black joints, and I’m not sure if it’s something that I should worry about. I live in upstate SC (about an hour away from Jess) so we’ve had a good bit of rain recently.

This is the best comprehensive tomato growing video i have found. Go back to it yearly to refresh my memory on what to do this season. Thanks Jessica ❤

Dr. Wyche's Yellow is one of my favorite tomato varieties, thanks to watching Jess ❤

Thanks for all of the tips! My dear friend Mary who has gone on to be with Jesus told me many years ago when I planted my first tomato plants and they were huge but I wasn't getting much fruit to "pinch the crotch". That has always stuck with me to this day and I always laugh and think of her when I prune my tomatoes 😂

You all's videos are always such a joy to watch. Thanks for sharing your years of experience. Here's to fat, juicy tomatos.

I love these trellis for tomatoes perfect when you live in the ARMPIT OF TEXAS like I do 😂😂😂

I just gotta tell you sis, gosh I missed you. I am SO glad you are feeling better -- first for YOU -- but second selfishly, for us ;) I just want you to know, we see you and are so grateful. Feels like my friend is back. 😆

Lawn clippings make great mulch for tomatoes too!

JESS. I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING YOU SINCE LOCKDOWNS AND BECAUSE OF YOU I HAVE A GIANT VEGETABLE GARDEN THAT IS THRIVING. THE FIRST VIDEO I SAW WAS YOUR TOMATO PRUNING VIDEO OVER 3 YEARS AGO AND YOU TALKED ABOUT THE SUCKER IN THE ARMPIT. LOL AND I FINALLY UNDERSTOOD WHAT A SUCKER WAS SO THANK YOU!! I JUST HAVE TO SAY THAT YOU LOOK ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL YOUR FACE IS GLOWING AND YOU LOOK SO HAPPY AND SO AT PEACE. I KNOW YOU HAVE HAD HEALTH ISSUES ALONG THE WAY... SO KUDOS TO YOU FOR WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING. ❤ GOD BLESS & THANK YOU AS ALWAYS.

I love the aromatic scent produced by the tomato leaves. Thank you for the tomato plants tutorial, Jess! 🍅You’re a blessing! 🤗🌻❤️

I love the things you tie you plants with back when I was a kid my grandmother used to use old pantyhose she would cut them into strips and tie her plants with them my job was to help cut them and help her tie them she said they were soft and wouldn’t damage the tender plants such wonderful memories she was a wonderful teacher just like you are .God bless you ❤

I caught the bug! I have grown my tomato plants from seed for the first time this year and have transplanted 42 plants in my average size suburban garden. I am so excited! Love you Jess!

Thank you for sharing this information! Very helpful! xo

Thank you for sharing!

Hey Jess, Happy Gardening!

Very helpful! Thanks

Thanks Jess.

Bless you Jess !

Thanks, very helpful! 💗

Such a fresh garden video 😊

Thanks ❤

I’ve been growing tomatoes for 8 years and I still love watching Tomato video 😊

Your generosity is immeasurable!

Great informative video, thank you!

I love my cattle panel trellises! I do plant on both sides though. I offset the tomatoes and plant a row on each side, forming a zig zag. I also typically plant the tomatoes on their side, so they can form lots of good roots. I just dig a shallow trench and plant them all along it with about 12 inches between each root ball.

Me too! I don't plant them super close to the cattle panel so they are about 8-10 inches away from it and just use twine to tie them up so I can plant on either side. And I offset them from each other to allow more airflow.

We planted our first tomato plants and we’ve gotten two harvested so far and waiting on one more. They’re SO good! You’re right…store bought tomatoes do taste like disappointment 😂

Great tips Jess!

Yup, tomato lovin’ Jess is back!! ♥️

Tomato lessons, always my favorite! 😊

Love your channel 💙

Hi Jess! God bless you. 😊🌷❤️

Great advice.

Can't wait for the harvest video's. Those are my favorites 😊

Love the little extra tip at the end of the end. So stinking' cute. Made me laugh out loud. Bless you, Jess. Love your channel!

Love the last tip thanks

I wonder if when Bear sees Zucchini in a garden bed, he is thinking... "Ya know you are NOT supposed to be in garden beds. I was taught that!" lol

i love tomatoes!!

Thanks darlin!

Beautiful timing! Just got done planting all my tomatoes in the heat of the day ❤

This Thumb was so cute with bear and Zucchini is also so cute ❣

Jess - You’re just so Super Sweet!! You start my day Happy😊

Thank you. Everything is beautiful ❤

Hello from Tucson AZ

That lighting tho 😍☀️

Super informative video!! You touched on so many aspects of what we need to be mindful of, and why. Thanks, Jess!

Jess thank you so very much for sharing the tomatoes tip’s much appreciated have a blessed day

I just rewatched your original tomato pruning video yesterday 😂

here for the tip at the end! advice for removing tomato tar is golden 🙌

That was a great and thorough lesson on growing tomatoes 😊 Can’t wait to see your classes go live

Great advice; thanks for sharing! Healthy looking plants! Blessings to all 🤗💜🇨🇦

I'm in my 3rd year growing tomatoes!! Hoping and praying for my best harvest this year!

Jess your videos are awesome. You answer a lot of questions I have about tomatoes that other channels don’t tell you.

You have the cutest dimple.!!!😊

You can put those suckers in water n they will root then you can plant them n make more tomatoes

Thank you! Catching vibes from your older tomato videos when I first fell in love with your style years ago. There are square tomato cages at Lowe’s that I open up and trellis 4 plants on and bamboo stakes from my cousin’s garden make great teepees over plants for structures.

Well timed, as I just decided to buy a tomato plant today

Jess, you're a breath of fresh air. I really enjoy & appreciate your channel. You are delightful.❤️ Thank you!

Thank you Jess for this tomato-growing update! From Illinois where it's only going to be 64 degrees today, what crazy weather.

LOL Jess still loving on those Tom plants almost a decade on & Im still loving watching "bless ya" 😉💜💜💜

Jess, you're awesome! Thank you so much for these tips. I learn a little more each year, and each year things become less overwhelming. Bless you!

Love it Jess! Great job! I find baking soda also helps clean the tar off.

Building my greenhouse this weekend so hopefully can start my tomato seedlings (FINALLY) Love your passion and information as always

Jess, YOU are the reason we are able to grow tomatoes and so many other veggies in our gardens. Thank you for teaching us all. 🤗🥰😇

I love watching your content! You live my dream life😊

We are in winter now but I am saving all these tips for our summer growing as we have a long growing season and very little humidity

We love this time of year because we love freshly grown tomatoes

After discovering your tomato videos when you lived in Arkansas, I was inspired to garden again. You are in your element when you're in the tomato beds. Love it❤

I give all my tomato branch clippings to my chickens and they love them! Great video!

Jess, I just want to say, I love your channel! I appreciate you sharing so much of your knowledge and yourself. And you always look beautiful, but most recently you are looking even more beautiful and healthy. So glad you are feeling better. God bless you too!

Always appreciate helpful information on cleaning your hands after the various garden tasks! ❤ Didn't think about lemon juice as an option. Brilliant!! 😊

Jess, you look so healthy, radiant, beautiful. Thank you so much for the tomato efucation. I didn't grow up with a garden and I appreciate the education and encouragement. Cheers to a great 2023 gardening season.

Thank you for the tips. My tomatoes are doing great this year. I bless you and yours.

Thanks Jess for all the tips. I’m so excited you will actually have a great harvest this year, after last year’s troubles. Blessings ❤️✝️

Thank you for the tips...it helps a lot to see the techniques used. We're going to try a string trellis this year for the tomatoes, so wish us luck!

I appreciate your tips! I’m new at growing tomatoes and need all the help I can get! I also need tips on peppers! Both my tomatoes and peppers aren’t doing well…..everything else is doing fantastic! You’re so knowledgeable! Thank you!!

I appreciate you. You make me a better gardener. My tomato plants are getting lots of attention in the next few days! Caging, pruning, and fertilizing. Maybe even propagating!

Planting my first "real" garden at age 64. Greenstalks, bottom watered five gallon buckets, bait trays (think lobster) and grow bags. These videos are so helpful.

Thank you Jess for sharing your love and knowledge of the garden! You are a true blessing to so many 😊

I really loved this video, thank you! It has helped so much. I will begin to tie up my plants this weekend. 😃

I tried two varieties of tomatoes 🍅 you suggested. You've been teaching me a lot. A terracotta and rosy finch! Thank you Jess 😊. I have never pruned, fertilized or tried some of these new types.

Im so excited for my tomatoes this season! Last season i had very little fruit due to the early onset heat and drought.. this year i cant believe how well my tomatoes are doing in comparison so far! I have main stalks bigger around than my thumbs and flowers already!! I have some in cages and some on the trellis as well, so we'll see what happens!

Thank you.. hope I have better luck with growing tomatoes

Thanks for the tip about the tomato tar! I have atopy prone skin and it seems to irritate it quite a bit if I don't get it all off. Gloves do help, but I forget to put them on 😅

I love the "tomato tar" effect although I've never heard it called that before. The first time that happened, I was like "hey, I DO have a green thumb!" Thanks for all you do :)

Love all your tips JessAs always so insightful! Wish I was your neighbor I will take all the tomatoes shoots and rooted ..free plants

thank you so much for the tips on tomatoes. after resolving to not having a garden this year (decision made after a bunch of tomato seeds were planted, but didn't seem to germinate)... it turns out I will be having one. A last ditch effort with the seeds I brought them in the house next to a window that gets lots of sun and they came up! so many of them! and... as it turns out.... some of the winter sown seeds decided to make a showing. I'm nervous and stressed out moving forward (juggling bumbling through figuring out gardening with new learning differences in tow and settling a chaotic house)... but with videos like this... I mean WOW!! so much information... all the way down to the encore tip!

Jess I have been waiting for this video since you moved there- I learnt to grow Tomatoes 10 years ago from you but I think We all need a refresher every now & then - I am growing Paul Robeson this year & am having such fantastic success so far. I have failed previously. Thank you for this video as I really needed it. Cheers Denise- Australia

I started my first round of tomatoes a bit too early, which led to one of my cherry tomatoes bending over and getting kinked when I put them all outside to harden off. I figured I could save it by cutting it off the stem and rooting it in water, but I kept the stem so I wouldn't lose the label with the variety on it. While I was waiting for it to root, I saw that the stem put out some suckers and is working hard to keep growing. It's impressive how resilient these plants can be!

You are such a silly girl. I'm also looking forward to sitting out in the tomato garden with a salt shaker. I haven't put any seating there yet. You always have such good ideas.

I also loved your past tomato tip about using molasses, and weaving the plants thru the cattle panel as they grow works great. They stay in place no matter how windy, however yes, the little strips of fabric, or plant clips, to attach the straggler branches, or shorter plants, are so helpful :) LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!

I got inspired by your microdwarf tomato filled Greenstalk and am doing something similar myself. If you wouldn't mind giving tips on what you are doing with that planting, I would be really grateful! I'm new to gardening, so I have a lot to learn. 😃

Thanks for this video. I’m in SC zone 7b and have struggled with tomatoes. I now know they were not getting enough air flow because I never cut off suckers. Last year lost all of them from blight.
