Impressive Big Beef Tomatoes, Gardening, & Prepping

Filed under: Videos |


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. …

  1. 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.

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

  16. 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

  18. 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.

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

  21. 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. 🙂

  22. It looks like you are winding tomatoes vines up a string.

    Do they stay on the string in a big wind storm?

  23. 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. 🙂

  25. 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.
