First, I'm going to show you what you need to know how to plant tomatoes. This includes things like preparing tomato seedlings, setting up a tomato nursery, to planting them in a growing medium. Basically, the basic things you need to know how to grow tomatoes.

Next, it's time to practice growing tomatoes in florida. It's one thing to channel the hobby of growing organic tomatoes. But in florida gardening can use gardening knowledge by paying attention to the state of the season in florida.



Then, you will learn how to care tomatoes. At some point you want to learn from growing tomato seedlings to harvesting tomatoes, that's a good thing for you.

In short, this video will help shorten the time it takes you to growing tomatoes in florida. So I hope you get a lot of value out of it.

I had tomatoes producing from November well into June last year. But my problem was keeping the rats, birds and squirrels from eating them all. I bet I only harvested about 30% of the tomatoes I grew. Very annoying. I trapped rats, and bagged the fruit, and tried all sorts of scent and other deterrents. Still came out each morning to chewed tomatoes.

So for Christmas my husband built me this. Nice large tomato cage with a door at the back and everything. Now no more chomped fruit! Now I need to tactfully ask him to build a couple more . . .

Aside from protecting the fruit from critters, the single most important factor in growing tomatoes successfully in Florida is choosing disease-resistant varieties. The wonderful heirlooms that people grow up north just do not survive to produce fruits down here. Need the ones with all the letters and numbers on the seed packets.

Elaine, that's a nice cage for tomatoes, pretty good looking maters too. I tried for many years to grow tomatoes and lost most my crop to critters, I had no problems growing tomatoes, just protecting them, now my garden it way too shady. That would work on top of a wood planter too.

I've had to cut back a bunch of tree branches to keep it sunny enough in this one area of my garden for the veggies. Even so, by late May it's too shady and I have to give up. The tomatoes give up pretty soon after that, anyway of course. Here's my last big one, early June. The smaller grape and cherry tomatoes go a little bit longer.

Here we plant them in Sept.
There are several pick your own less than 10miles, so great tomatoes are ready for picking now.
