We had a decent chance of rain, so I thought it would be a good idea if I cleaned up the Big Beef tomato plants by removing the leaves that had some blight. …

I agree, getting back to basics makes a lot of sense. But many of the “basic” methods have been forgotten. It’s time to sit down with some old folks and find out how they did things back in the day.
You my friend are preaching the absolute TRUTH!!!!!! Ive been saying it for years that when this world crashes, we will all need to go back to basics some how , some shape or form. keep sharing your knowledge , your ideas are the future.
Found your videos via a fb post someone had up. Awesome information. Love it!!! I’ll be going through a lot of your videos for your expert knowledge. You gotta be a southern boy. Where are you from?
Unfortunately the writing is on the wall. What we’re seeing isn’t something we can really stop = The end will come whether we want to deal with the birth pangs or not. I appreciate you and what you’re doing here and I definitely appreciate your Christian beliefs. I pray the Lord keep and bless you and yours. I pray your work to open people’s hearts to the truth is as fruitful as your tomatoes. We know directly from scripture that few will walk the strait path unfortunately. Peace be with you
Thanks. The media is bought and paid for. I don’t even waste my time watching TV unless it’s a race or game that I want to see. I got tired of being lied to all the time.
The berries and fruit trees are things that I’m definitely lacking. I just never seem to get around to planting them. Maybe this will be the year… it would be nice. 🙂
It looks like you are winding tomatoes vines up a string.
Do they stay on the string in a big wind storm?

Just found your videos. Doing the same thing in my little suburban home. We have to be prepared to help others, to be givers and not takers. I’ve taught myself to garden and can and am talking to everyone I can about being prepared. As to the tomatoes, it’s the one thing, that I haven’t had lots of luck at yet.
One thing to consider would be planting berry bushes and fruit trees because they are self-renewing each year. You probably have, I just haven’t seen the other videos. 🙂
FROM OKLAHOMA…GARDENING THE OKLAHOMA WAY…..REW….TOMATO DISEASES ARE GENERALLY CAUSED I BELIEVE BECAUSE WE TODAY ARE USING WORN OUT SOIL….GOOGLE… REMINERALIZE THE EARTH….I AM TRYING AZOMITE (ROCK MINERALS) TO TRY AND AVOID THIS PROBLEM…

This crop of Big Beef was a hybrid. I have an OP version that I’m trying out right now. If it does as well as the hybrid, I’ll be able to save seeds from it and not have to buy anymore.

This variety is Big Beef. Most of the major seed suppliers will have it.

I enjoyed seeing your tomatoes; would it be possible to set some of the seeds from some of the varieties that you have?

I use “trellis clips” to hold the vines to the string. They hold up very well.
