Kevin, between you and the Garden Hermit, I've learned everything I need to grow tomatoes. I feel so confident about the process now. I have 14 healthy tomato plants this year! You don't know what that means to me. I couldn't keep one alive until last year. Thank you from a Serial Plant Killer.

First year actually trying to grow a few things. I told my wife I expect everything to die, so if I get anything it's a win! So far, only issues I've had- didn't use proper aoil mix for container potatoes, and dealing with bottom end rot on several tomatoes. Watering seems to be biggest issue. Didn't realize how quickly ground dried up here in mid Tennessee! Didn't want to buy more stuff, so I used door screening, and some leftover PVC, to make a basic sunshade. That helped immensely. This channel, and just a couple others, have helped a ton. Thank you. ✌️😊

A word to the wise, IF you can handle the weight of one, purchase a T-post pounder instead of using a hammer to drive the posts. It is a much safer method and really drives the posts fast. However, it is a heavy tool so it's not for everyone.

Best advise for tomato growing I got from my father was 'Birds will eat them a few days before you consider them ready, havels them when they are almost ready and leave them on the window sill' Each summer we end up with dozens upon dozens of tomatoes, hanging, sitting and being amazing from cables setup around our kitchen window.

Roasting has become one of my absolute favorite ways to eat tomatoes (other than raw).
