| 0:00.0 | We are coming up on the beginning of June here at the epic homestead and the |
| 0:18.6 | Jacques in the garden homestead. So what are we actually doing right now? Well |
| 0:22.2 | something we did yesterday, at least at my house, you've been doing tomatoes for a |
| 0:25.5 | while now, is we recently put in a row of indeterminate tomatoes and then |
| 0:30.3 | bush tomatoes in the front or dwarf determinants, right? Actually, they're indeterminate. |
| 0:35.7 | They're indeterminants because it's it's Craig Luhullier's project, right? That's |
| 0:39.4 | the interesting thing about that one is is the logic to grow the indeterminate |
| 0:45.0 | because you get to preserve the flavor and you're selecting for the dwarf |
| 0:47.6 | habit and just not grow a determinant? Yeah, so the idea is that it will also |
| 0:53.1 | the determinants will generally set all their fruit at a similar time. Yeah. So |
| 0:57.2 | the dwarf is like a cross between an indeterminate and a dwarf, I think indeterminate |
| 1:01.8 | variety. Yeah. That's naturally just stalking short, but the cool thing is that |
| 1:05.7 | they only get like three to five feet tall and they'll continuously produce |
| 1:09.0 | tomatoes the whole time while they're growing. So you get more similar indeterminate |
| 1:13.0 | flavor and style tomatoes, but you get a much easier plant to manage in the end. |
| 1:16.8 | Got it. So you're getting, yeah, you're basically just not sacrificing what you |
| 1:21.8 | normally would when you grow the determinant. Exactly. But you're getting the |
| 1:24.5 | benefit of the determinant and and then in theory, the flavor should be better. Yeah. |
| 1:28.4 | If that's what you're going for. Exactly. Got it. So we put those in the front, of |
| 1:32.6 | course, of the bed, and then we put the indeterminants in the back. And what |
| 1:35.9 | we'll do is a basically a really long Florida weave this time instead of |
| 1:41.2 | three different types of tomato trellis Florida, we've definitely the easiest |
