James, you're such an inspiration to others!! My husband started gardening about 4 years ago with only 4 raised beds and hoped to get stuff to grow as we hardly knew anything. Then he found your channel and this year we have an organic food forest going on!! He expanded it big time. Peach trees, apple trees, pear tree, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, fall gold, double fall gold, lots of veggies, herbs and some flowers too! THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge with us all!! Huge thank you from Pennsylvania!🍎🍏🍑🫐🥕🫛☀️🌼 🌸 🌻

James!!! It’s been a very hard winter for me. Battling this eating disorder… and yeah… but I’m out of the hospital after 3 months of hard work and healing… I am in my garden, watching your videos, getting the fresh spring air. You inspire me. You motivate me. Every single day. Thank you for everything you do ❤❤❤

Thank you little king. The world is an exceptional place with you in the food forest ❤

Greet from Slovakia. I am already a senior and have similar experience, but when grafting I combine two plants into one. When the plant is about 50 cm tall, I plant it in the ground lying down so that only about 10 cm sticks out of the ground, But before that I remove the leaves and make about 30-40 very fine cuts with a razor blade. From all these cuts, the plant will put down roots. I put 2-3 invalid copper coins near the roots, or I pass a sanded copper wire through the plant so that it does not mold. This creates a powerful root system and the plant reaches a height of 6 to 8 meters, but it is better to drag the plant along the ceiling net. The plant needs a lot of water and preferably liquid compost. One plant can yield 50-80 kg of tomatoes.

Tuck is so desease resistent even onscreen text stays away from him. Awesome!

My father did that with a white and black fig tree in Calabria 40 years ago. For a 14 year old American, it blew my mind.

❤🧡💛💚💙💜♥ for the adorably sweet Tuck. Unrelated to the content today, but I wanted to share that I'd bought a somewhat leggy tomato and while I was preparing to plant it the wind blew it over and snapped it in two. I was pretty bummed because Sun Golds are hard to find in my area this year. On a lark, I buried both the root end and the broken top in my bucket, and now both are thriving so well I'll have to move one to another container so they can both have the space they need. Tomatoes are such amazing plants. What can't they do!

[purplethumb]

This is simply awesome! It never crossed my mind to graft tomatoes. This is great for people with limited space to grow several varieties. Thank you!!!

At first I didn't see Tuck ❤ he blended into your mulch! Cool senior summer school project, tomato splicing! 🍅 😉

[berbrina]

You and Tuck are supper cute and encouraging!

[briancrawford]

My son used to do this for a large commercial plant nursery exporting to Europe

[growingoutthebox]

Find something that exist and make it better! You did that James! Can't say that I have seen this done with tomatoes. Super inspiring!

[woodstoney]

It is contagious seeing your energy and enthusiasm. Thanks for your work!

[brendasusanne]

Thanks for your positive energy and encouragement! Tuck is so cute and sweet! Thanks for sharing him with us!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[SarahBahou]

Especially as a single person it's helpful to enjoy different types and reduce waste by having too many and trying to find more people to pass them off to. I started my first garden this year!

❤️❤️❤️for Tuck, you keep snacking on the yummy food👍🐶

[sn]

What a cool way to grow 2 types of tomatoes on the same plant! Great for someone with limited space!

[smb]

I admire your hard work while knowing I won't do it! LOL I have started pruning and pinching, much as it hurts. Thanks so much for your inspirational videos.

[atdepaulis]

Wow.. I have never heard of graphing tomato plants!! That is insane! I feel like I have to try this now?? Love it! ❤

[annamarie]

I never thought tomatoes could be grafted! I knew about trees, because my Dad did that in his orchard - and I remember his joy when a graft was successful. And since I have a very small growing bed, 2’x8’, trellises, this would be an excellent option for future seasons. Thank you for posting, and ❤❤❤ to Tuck.
