GROWING TOMATOES IN CONTAINERS - Container tomatoes thrive when roots have room to grow. A 15-gallon pot supports better water and nutrient uptake, while small pots limit growth. Use a quality soil mix like FoxFarm, plant at the right depth, and add fertilizer at transplant. Mulch to retain moisture...

Is in it a bit early for tomatoes 🍅? We still have early spring flowers in bloom here !

You don't grow plants in pots or containers with soil. The soil will collapse without the usual microbial activity and suffocate the roots. The plant will then die.

That would work great in northern zones, not so much in hot, southern climates. I grow in passive hydroponics instead.

Fox farm is good stuff. We use Gias Gift only because hubby works for the company that makes it.

Those root pouches are deeeecent! How much does a 15 gallon puch weigh when full? (I have some 5 gallon pouches for garlic and potatoes, but the 15 gallon looks next level!)

Did you know you can grow new tomato plants from its suckers? This is a great way to have infinite tomato plants from just one plant! Here is how you do it: 1. Identify Suckers: Look for small shoots emerging from the leaf axils (the angle between the stem and a leaf). They’re typically 2–4 inches long when ideal for propagation. 2. Remove Suckers: Use clean, sharp scissors or pruners to cut the sucker from the plant. Choose healthy, vigorous ones for best results. 3. Prepare for Rooting: - Remove the lower leaves, leaving only the top 2–4 leaves. - Optionally, dip the cut end in rooting hormone to encourage faster root growth (not mandatory). 4. Root in Water or Soil: - Water: Place the sucker in a jar of water, submerging the cut end. Keep it in a bright, indirect light area and change the water every few days. Roots should appear in 1–2 weeks. - Soil: Plant the sucker in a small pot with moist, well-draining potting mix. Cover with a plastic bag to retain humidity and place in indirect light. Roots typically form in 1–2 weeks. 5. Transplant: Once roots are 1–2 inches long (for water-rooted) or the cutting feels anchored (for soil-rooted), transplant into a larger pot or garden bed with rich, well-draining soil. 6. Care: Water regularly, provide full sun (6–8 hours daily), and support the plant as it grows. Treat it like a regular tomato seedling. Notes: - Suckers root easily because they’re actively growing tissue, often producing new plants faster than seeds (2–3 weeks to establish vs. 6–8 weeks for seed-grown plants). - The new plant will be a clone of the parent, inheriting its exact traits (e.g., variety, flavor). - Best time to take suckers is early in the growing season when the plant is healthy and actively growing.

🪴 THE POT YOU PUT YOUR PLANT IN MATTERS WAY MORE THAN YOU THINK! A plant in the wrong pot can become a constant battle with watering, root rot, drying out, and even temperature stress. Here’s how I choose my pots: 🏺 TERRACOTTA: Best for plants that like to dry out between waterings. It’s VERY porous, so moisture evaporates through the sides and the soil dries faster. Great for succulents, cacti, snake plants, hoyas, and other plants that hate staying wet. The downside? You’ll need to water more frequently so avoid putting anything moisture sensitive into this material!!! 🪴 PLASTIC: Holds onto moisture longer because it doesn’t breathe. This is great for plants that prefer consistently moist soil or for anyone who tends to forget to water. It’s also lightweight, inexpensive, and doesn’t heat up or cool down as quickly (except black plastic pots which conduct heat in direct sun) 🤍 CERAMIC: Glazed ceramic behaves much more like plastic because the glaze prevents water from evaporating through the pot. Unglazed ceramic is more breathable! Ceramic is also heavier, which can be a huge advantage for large plants that get top heavy! 💧 DRAINAGE I don’t care how gorgeous the pot is… if there’s no drainage hole, I don’t want my plant living in it. A decorative pot without drainage can work as a cachepot: keep your plant in a nursery pot with drainage and drop it inside. So before you buy a pot because it’s cute, ask : Does this plant like to dry out or stay moist? Does the pot have drainage? How quickly do I want the soil to dry? And is this pot going to get HOT? Because sometimes the best thing you can buy for your plant isn’t another fertilizer or fancy soil! It’s the right pot. 🪴 #planttips #howto #gardeningtiktokcontest ##gardening#garden

How to Make Bucatini all Amatriciana Like an Italian INGREDIENTS: 300 grams bucatini pasta 11oz 800 grams peeled tomatoes 28oz 250 grams 250g cherry tomatoes 9oz 200 grams 200g guanciale 7oz. with skin removed Finely grated pecorino romano Black pepper Sea Salt Extra virgin olive oil optional INSTRUCTIONS: Start by slicing the guanciale into thin slices and then into strips so each strip has fat on the outside and meat in the middle. Next, cut the cherry tomatoes into halves or even quarters if you want them smaller. In a bowl, gently crush the peeled tomatoes using an immersion blender until you have a smooth sauce. Heat an aluminum pan on the stovetop on medium-low heat. Once hot, add your guanciale strips and cook until it turns crispy (about 5 minutes). Add cherry tomatoes to the pan and turn the stove down to low heat. Cook for 5 minutes and continue to stir. Add the peeled tomato sauce to the pan and mix everything. (Optional: Remove the guanciale before adding the peeled tomatoes) Increase the heat and add a pinch of sea salt then let the sauce cook for 20 minutes. Add water to a large pot and put it on the stove to boil. Once boiling, add one tablespoon of sea salt. Then add the bucatini pasta and cook by following your packet instructions. It should take about 11 minutes. Add a generous amount of freshly cracked black pepper to the sauce before mixing through some grated pecorino romano cheese too. Using a mug, scoop out some pasta water and set aside. Remove the pasta from the pot with tongs, place it into the saucepan, and mix everything together. Begin to toss the pasta. If the sauce is still a little runny, add pasta water to help thicken it up and toss it again. Add more pecorino romano to the pasta and toss again, then it’s time to plate. Plate the pasta and top with the cherry tomatoes and guanciale from the pan. Sprinkle a little bit of pecorino romano and black pepper on top. #pasta #pastatiktok #pastarecipe #amatriciana #foodtok #recipesforyou
