Question by ramsette: Can you leave a wall of water on a tomato plant all season?
I am wondering if I can just leave my WOWs on my tomato plants all season, or if I should remove them when the plants reach a certain size.
Thanks.

Ah sir! I hay problems gowing my greens, i cany seem to get them tey grow
right, they hayde keep dying on me like a bunch a chickens on a motorway
Cheers boss
Was super excited to see they’re finally planting in the front. Wanted to
hug them!! But then was pretty bummed, to be honest, when he said they’re
moving the fence to extend the backyard & essentially hide their garden!! I
can think of no greater lesson for your neighbors & community then to
expose your garden. And, where your house was planted or where the sunny
spots are shouldn’t determine how you grow. I hope he changes his mind.
I FINALLY built my raised beds. I can’t wait to start growing stuff. Though
here in the high desert the growing seasion is almost over. But, next year
I will have alot…
Hey friend, did you make your own greenhouse? Was it costly or difficult?
Just curious. Do they sell prefabricated greenhouses? Peace
WOW! Its GREAT!
Have a great success!
good solution for an unused area of yard
It is prefab. I will have a video about it later this week
Simple and attractive, very nice.
Eighteen tomato plants! Wow…many years ago I sold tomatoes from my forty
plants. Since I kept reasonably good records, I figured that each plant
yielded 40 pounds. I also used a drip system, and hay/straw mulch from the
nearby field to a depth of about ten to fourteen inches. The plants never
wilted in the heat. Your 18 plants might yeild 720 pounds! My variety was
“Celebrity”. Only have 10 plants this year!
you make so many interesting videos which I assume feeds your business. You
might consider an upgrade with remote mics which will greatly enhance the
viewing experience.
looks great, funtions better
@growingyourgreens I think you should write a book too about all the great
great vids as always, Jon!
things you do to inspire people to grow their own food! It’s easy to tell
you must have many inspiring stories about gardening and getting others
hooked too.
180 punds of tomatoes?? Holy cow that’s more than alot! LOL Nice looking
bed too!
give em to poor people man…my drummer lives in l.a now he will take some
im sure….i dont know if l.a is near there though
um so they just put the dirt over the weeded lawn? won’t the weeds just
grow up through the garden? didn’t use any preparation to the ground/lawn
below before putting the raised bed?
I currently do this for fun; a hobby; and for my sheer enjoyment of
teaching others to grow their own food. This is how I feel I can make a
difference in the world. One day, I will have a snazzy web site/blog that
might help generate some income from this project.

Good job, Rick and Karen. Your tomato garden looks wonderful.
I am glad you do this. I watch and enjoy them all.
I believe they did cardboard sheet mulching before putting down the compost.
I live in the high desert too. I’m in California and wondering what you
grew and if you were successful at it. I’m also trying to start a garden
here but was told it would be all for nothing.
I was so excited about seeing their bed, I said bricks.. but yes, they were
rocks! Rick and Karin ROCK!
Well, I only got as far as building the beds and putting soil in them. The
soil I chose was not as good as I thought so I put hours manure in it and
this summer hope to plant some food. I have to watch out for frost since it
gets cold at night even in the summer. Hope you do better than I did…It’s
a learning process for sure.
Hey John, what are you using to hold up those tomatoes?
I advise removing it when the plants really start to grow!
You should remove them as soon as it’s warm enuf for them to be in the open. Condensation inside the wall of water things will cause fungal disease on the leaves and kill the plant. Tomatoes are tough plants and need to have good air circulation and exposure to sun.
