pulll off lower branches when still young and plant deep. those hair folicule like things turn into roots the plant will have a stm 2x as thick as other plants the root ball is also 2x whhich will give ya a larger yield when u also remove sucker brnches

James, you're such an inspiration to others!! My husband started gardening about 4 years ago with only 4 raised beds and hoped to get stuff to grow as we hardly knew anything. Then he found your channel and this year we have an organic food forest going on!! He expanded it big time. Peach trees, apple trees, pear tree, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, fall gold, double fall gold, lots of veggies, herbs and some flowers too! THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge with us all!! Huge thank you from Pennsylvania!🍎🍏🍑🫐🥕🫛☀️🌼 🌸 🌻

It's rather addicting isn't it? or I should say James is. I've been a gardener for years, but this is the first year I could call my garden a food forest. I have learned so much from him.🐕❤❤❤

James!!! It’s been a very hard winter for me. Battling this eating disorder… and yeah… but I’m out of the hospital after 3 months of hard work and healing… I am in my garden, watching your videos, getting the fresh spring air. You inspire me. You motivate me. Every single day. Thank you for everything you do ❤❤❤ Thank you little king. The world is an exceptional place with you in the food forest ❤

So funny, I was going to say that too.

I wish my kids ate veggies like Tuck.

My son used to do this for a large commercial plant nursery exporting to Europe

❤🧡💛💚💙💜♥ for the adorably sweet Tuck. Unrelated to the content today, but I wanted to share that I'd bought a somewhat leggy tomato and while I was preparing to plant it the wind blew it over and snapped it in two. I was pretty bummed because Sun Golds are hard to find in my area this year. On a lark, I buried both the root end and the broken top in my bucket, and now both are thriving so well I'll have to move one to another container so they can both have the space they need. Tomatoes are such amazing plants. What can't they do!

My father did that with a white and black fig tree in Calabria 40 years ago. For a 14 year old American, it blew my mind.

This is simply awesome! It never crossed my mind to graft tomatoes. This is great for people with limited space to grow several varieties. Thank you!!!

@@smb123211 a coon or something large got into the yard and ate my 1st 3 big zucchini. Found a dead snake nearby. Then the boarer got the plant. This year I've been working at it more and that was the 1st challenge. Then the boarer got to the cucumber. That was growing fast and producing a lot🤣🙄 Challenging year 3 for me.

You live in New Jersey and I'm in Arizona but I still gleam information from you. You are a genius I'm telling you right now

Find something that exist and make it better! You did that James! Can't say that I have seen this done with tomatoes. Super inspiring!

Especially as a single person it's helpful to enjoy different types and reduce waste by having too many and trying to find more people to pass them off to. I started my first garden this year!

I NEVER thought about being able to graft tomato plants!

James you are and will always be an amazing man...I follow you even if if my zone is totally different from yours...just for the fun of watching Tuck The Gardener..and you, hahaha...thank you so much for spending all this time trying to make us better human beings..You Rock Sir

I didn’t know you could graft tomatoes. Thank you for this video.

Aw! Tuck is so cute. He's laying there just protecting the whole garden. He's a good boy

At first I didn't see Tuck ❤ he blended into your mulch! Cool senior summer school project, tomato splicing! 🍅 😉

Thanks for your positive energy and encouragement! Tuck is so cute and sweet! Thanks for sharing him with us!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

❤️❤️❤️for Tuck, you keep snacking on the yummy food👍🐶

Wow! Great information and instructions. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Love little Tuck!

Something that helped me understand this process better was learning about cambium.

I never thought tomatoes could be grafted! I knew about trees, because my Dad did that in his orchard - and I remember his joy when a graft was successful. And since I have a very small growing bed, 2’x8’, trellises, this would be an excellent option for future seasons. Thank you for posting, and ❤❤❤ to Tuck.

I always love to see the king ❤❤❤. Love seeing your videos too!

Dude, James, you never fail to reinvigorate my interest in gardening. I love your growing style, and, of course, I love Tuck ❤❤❤ may he snack forever!

I had vaguely heard about tomato grafting, but had never heard a good explanation of the benefits. Thanks James, and lots of love for Tuck! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

You're a really gifted gardener, I can barely keep my tomatoes alive 😆

Absolute game changer. Who would have ever thought to graft tomatoes?

I never thought of grafting tomatoes! Thank you! ❤❤❤ Please give Tuck love, pets, and snuggles for me. He always makes my day brighter! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Wow never would’ve thought to graft tomatoes. Great idea. Thanks for sharing. Great to see Tuck doing well ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Tuck is so cute and awesome 😎 I get a laugh every time I see him.😂😂❤

oh good gravy James!!! I've gardened and even farmed forever...... This is cool as ....(poop) but very hard core. Love to Tuck!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Great content as always, James. Keep up the good work Tuck.

Very cool. I have seen that before but I think you've inspired me to try it for next year. Thanks for the tip on the Estamino rootstock. Cheers from Ottawa, Canada🍁

Oh my God (who created tomatoes)!!! The tomatoes in the intro AND on the plant are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!

Wow that is amazing! Thank you for this video. 💚💚💚's for Tuck!

James my friend...you and Tuck rock the gardening scene! It is so heart warming to see you guys having so much fun with the food forest. I rea Ly enjoy your videos. Thank you for all the effort involved in bringing this joy into my home. ❤❤❤❤❤

Just to tell you i have really been enjoying this years season of videos since they started up! I am in zone 4 or 5a depending on the souce, and every year your seasons videos will be at least 6 weeks pre planting time for me. I have gardened for 40 years very successly but i still learn something new every video!! I was surprised to see how gray your furbaby has gotten this year. We have 2 morkys, a designer mix of yorkie and maltese who will be 10 this year. They look and act no differently then when they were a year old. Your baby mayhave gray now but you can tell he still loves the garden! Thank you for continuing work and sharing your beautiful garden. You inspire even those who have been busy in a garden for decades to try new things!

YEAH, SCIENCE! Very cool, and thanks to you and Tuck for sharing!

Thanks James for this new video. Grafting will be in my future. Love Tuck ❤❤❤

Real Science there. Happy to see you taking gardening to the next level. Thank you for all you do.

Will definitely be doing this in my garden this weekend.

James, you do a great job. I'm not much of a gardener, but a gentleman who had been a farmer in Italy told me about the practice of grafting tomatoes onto eggplant stock for a longer season and hardier plants, both being nightshades. I lack the skill but a mad scientist like you might have fun with that. Your garden is beautiful.

Whoa. Didn't know you could do that to tomatoes. Nice job.

Tuck had a lovely sleep next to the raised bed, I suppose it was nice and warm there xxx Thankyou for this, I hadn’t thought of grafting fun with tomatoes, bring on spring for us in the south of the world xx

Hey James. I enjoyed your video and your dog. I had a yorkie mix that reminded me of your little friend. This was the first video I’ve seen of yours. Years ago there was a guy near Phoenix that I watched that had a “Food Forest.” He had healthy dirt like yours covered in mulch. The whole yard was prepared like that. He grew some tall native plants that protected others. So thanks for your video on grafting.
