Planting Out Tomatoes! We're Off in Earnest! || Black Gumbo

Joelene is a song by Dolly Parton. Scott, next year, I want to single-seed challenge you to grow an Orange Accordian tomato plant. They are fun! The fruit is massive and delicious! I'll even send you a seed!

God bless you brother Scott. I pray our Heavenly Father will touch you with His healing hand that you may not have to put those man-made chemicals into your body. May He also restore your strength so you can enjoy your gardening.

Please stick to your new diet and be well. I miss you when I don't see you. I understand about age and lifestyle and the toll it can take on a person. I'm 76 years old and every spring it takes awhile to get my gumption going. :) Spending too much time sitting inside during the winter really saps my energy. But, each day spent outside in my garden gets a little easier than the day before.

Always happy to see you Scott even if you are just planting a few tomatoes. Glad to hear that you are taking care of yourself and encouraging others to do the same. I hope you level out and get your energy back soon!

I enjoy you're gardening advise. I AM 79 years old and still garden in MS.

Scott, love you and Phoebe. I’m a bit younger than you, but I’ve been in your shoes with different issues. Medication can help with so much but that transition period can be rough!! Stay in there friend. Stay healthy and garden on. ❤

Jolene by Dolly Parton, love that song🎶

Scott, it's delightful to see you, sir. You taught my family and I how to plant tomatoes in containers and we are certainly grateful. Here's to you and your health- thank you again for making these videos. We all have more to learn from you. God bless you and be well, friend.👍🍅

Oh , Scott , I feel for you. High blood pressure medication does zap your energy. Just to forewarn you, be careful climbing and looking up , cause they'll make you dizzy too. I'm so glad you got help though. Your tomatoes are looking great. I hope to get ours planted in about a month. They are currently potted up and waiting for hardening off. We increased our planting as well. Have 30 to go out but not sure about my single seed challenge. I planted Black beauty tomatos this year, ( i always do 2 pot's) if i didnt know better I'd think herbicides, but theres no way. They receive the same soil, same fertilizer, same everything, all under lights the same way and they are shriveled while the rest are thriving. Truly boggled my mind. It was nice seeing you gardening. Give Phoebe a pet.

I’m in North Texas. Storms and hail due next week. Then I’m still seeing temps falling into high 30’s. My plants as well as me are ready to GO!! Think I’m still looking at the 29th 🙄. I’m looking at close to fifty tomatoes ready to plant. I have 15 varies cherry tomatoes the rest in heirloom. I can taste a BLT already! Blood Pressure meds can zap your energy.

My Mom used to say her get up and go got up and went , now I know what she meant. Take care of yourself and may GOD BLESS !

I just said a prayer for your quick adjustment to the meds, for medicine that helps, and thanks for you for your constant good example done for so many people. I just finished with 'something' neither I nor several doctors were able to identify. But after almost an entire year of sitting (my garden and all the hundreds of starts I had started, died and weeds took over. Now finally, I've begun taking Vit D and I'm better and finally have energy again. It was almost instantly within a week that I felt better. Miracle and thank God!

I feel your pain. I have been having energy problems also. I am in my 70's. I like the Etox tomatoes also.

Glad to see you out in the garden again. It’s rough dealing with blood pressure issues. It can lead to more serious issues. I lost my best friend of 40 years to a stroke a few months ago. It’s not something to play with. Good luck on your journey to better health!

LOL Phoebe 5:43, "Yeah I think I'm just going to plop down right here if that's fine with you." 🤣 Great video! My tomatoes are a tad behind yours, but I'm getting better every year with timing! Can't wait to see how your garden progresses. God Bless you man of God

That first plant in the ground is such a HUGE step! 😎 Very excited for you! Me, not so planty. 😭

Joleen is a Dolly Parton song from the 1970s , still popular to this day . Joleen Joleen Joleen Joleen please don’t take my man just because you can !!!! Love y channel ! Get better soon 🙏

May God bless you and get you stronger! This getting older thing is not easy! Glad to see you back out in the garden!

I always used bone meal in the hole before planting, but my neighbour, an old Italian fellow, goes to the supermarket and they give him a bunch of fish heads cut off, and he puts one at bottom of the hole before planting. I haven’t tried it because worried that the dog will smell it and dig them up

Gotta take care of yourself Mr Scott. My bp and sugar creeped up on me and I started drinking grapefruit juice every day and trying to exercise daily. I know you can't drink it with some meds but I would highly recommend seeing a dietician if you haven't already. Glad you got help because you need to stick around a good while longer 🙂 Btw, I'm just now seeing this video and that was me who mentioned Jolene (from Ms Dolly Parton)...give it a listen....it's a good one.
