Thanks I have limited space but I am trying to start my tomatoes in doors this years with a grow lite.
All my tomatoes will be in large containers but thanks to people like you and youtube I am confident of a good harvest.

……LMAO………

@bullittkid I use six 40-watt cool-white lamps, two per fixture. That’s 240 watts. I can grow about fifteen robust seedlings to approximately 6 inches. I give the seedlings about 14 hours of light per day and they’re ready in four or five weeks.
At 10 cents per kWh, I’m spending 2.4 cents per hour and 33.6 cents per day. Over 35 days this will cost $11.76. If I grow 15 plants, that’s 78 cents per plant.

Your tomatoes rot if left to touch the ground? What kind of infested poisonous soil do you have??? LOL

But seriously, tomatoes don’t rot if let to touch the ground. I never have that problem.

Hi Dave… it does not suprise me that you are a Gardener do you know why?

Because you’re a weed.

Nice video Dave. Grow Humongeous Tomatoes after you check out my videos.

Nice video but to start the seeds inside u don’t need to put them under light u can just set them in a table near a window or something they really don’t need light.

Wow Just brilliant tips but maybe he should be a bit less philosopheric and a bit more simple? Is that too much to ask or what I dont really mind because I just LOVE tomatoes I dont really care how fat or skinny, dark or light or juicy or dry after all a tomato is a tomato! Or is it?

Nice video, but your cages are too short for heirlooms! I use 5′ to 6′ high cages for my heirlooms.

For help growing the best tomatoes I suggest-

actually I just threw a seeds on my back garden and it’s now growing

FYI… if you live in Zone 10 like me, where you don’t really get frost, you need to be careful about planting your tomatoes when it’s too hot. I’ve heard that the plants do not fruit as well once the temperature is above a sustained 85ish degrees.

By KWalsh554 on March 28th, 2010 at 9:38 pm

Whatever vegetables you like to eat I guess. Some grow easier than others, especially in different climates. Around here melons grow like weeds (I had accidentally grew a patch of watermelons by spitting seeds off my pool deck one summer) , but they probably wouldn’t up North. Check online to find out what “zone” your in, and any gardening website should give more detailed help.
