Como CULTIVAR TOMATES con Éxito

very good ortiz valera family and welcome one more day to the channel you are not able to appreciate the image because now it has stopped raining a little but we have some days of quite intense rains for that reason today we are going to see a compilation on tomato cultivation we will see from that we obtain the seed until the harvest including the complete process if you want to plant tomatoes and so on in the garden in the pot garden or urban garden or garden I invite you to take note since I give some tips and advice that are, as I would say, of category yes If you want to receive notifications, remember to subscribe, it's free, and activate the bell, and without further ado, we'll start today, we're going to learn how to get tomato seeds.

If you're one of the most veterans of the channel, you'll be wondering if this video was already made, and in fact we already did it a long time ago. But since there are so many of you who ask me if the procedure works for any type of tomato, I have decided to repeat it and also tell you that if it is a hybrid or a transgenic tomato, forget about it, it won't be worth it. I went to the supermarket and bought the rarest one I saw. So that it would be totally different from the previous one, it is the Monterrosa variety.

I have never seen it. The truth is that it is very cool. It weighs half a kilo. Wherever you see it, it is a Mr. Tomato. Apparently it is a cross between a Catalan tomato and an Italian one, so we don't know. What language does this tomato end up speaking, but hey, nothing happens. The procedure is the same as the previous one. We will cut it in half with the spoon. We will take the pulp and seeds and put it in a glass of water. We will wait a few days. We will leave it in the shade and when As the days go by, we will take it out and the seed will have been removed, either the pulp that covers it, which we will do a little, we will take it out and then we will use it in a seedbed or we will store it and each one will use what they want to give it.

I will proceed. Let's cut it in half, let's see what the seeds are like. I've never seen this before and now we continue the video. Well, as you can see, I've already taken the top ones. Now I was busy with the bottom ones. I was very surprised by the amount of seeds. Look at Breaking the membrane down here is amazing. It has a lot of seeds. I have seen few tomatoes with so many seeds. For the next step, it is what I told you before. I hope they ferment here a little. Then the school we have and will take them out.

I will continue with all of them to remove as many seeds as possible and in the last phase we will see the dry filtered seeds and thus we calculate the amount of seeds that we have removed in a tomato of this size after two days since we put it to ferment we can pass them through the strainer look How many seeds have I recorded this process for the most suspicious so that you can see that there is still some pulp and that all you have to do is insist a little with your hand underneath and I am going to spread them on a piece of newspaper, napkin or Each one prefers on a personal level, assisting in a very thin cloth where they do not stick together and stay quite well, as you can see, it is a strainer, there is no mystery.

I am going to proceed to clean them a little more so that I get some pieces of tomato there. and once they are dry we finish the video after spending two days. As you can see, they are completely dry. We can spread them out and see if there is anything wet, but normally there is nothing left. If you see that there is a very small piece of tomato left, a small piece, don't go to death for it either. removing it, nothing happens, they can be stored as long as they are dry, as I have already told you, I will tell you that this video simply aims to show you that we can obtain seeds from any tomato, then we will have to distinguish if the tomato is transgenic, if it does not have seeds or if It belongs to the class of f1 tomatoes.

This type of tomato, when you plant it over and over again, each time the plant grows worse and the smallest tomatoes are not suitable for that type of seeds. Very good friends, today I am going to show you how I prepare my tomato seedbeds in terms of alveoli, there are a multitude of alveoli, they are made of plastic, a material that decomposes, cork or expandable polystyrene, whatever you prefer to call it, I prefer to use these for tomato shipments since they can be used quite a few times before they begin to decompose and If we disinfect them, we can use them from one year to the next.

As for the substrate, I recommend using a special substrate for seedbeds and if you prefer, instead of buying specific ones, to make it yourself, don't forget that it contains coconut fiber, some compost is worth around 30 to 50% and perlite or, in this case, both things contain expanded clay, this is worth clay balls, if you don't have a ball, then stones, and let everyone assemble it as best they can. I had this one from last year and I didn't use it all. A mixture that I made has added a little more compost and as you can see it also has a little sand to give it a loose soil.

Remember this step because it is vitally important that the soil is for seedbeds. You can use the other one, it may work for you but Failure is more guaranteed if the land does not have good drainage, as is the case with this one, and at the same time, good water retention is worth it. This year I am going to plant optimal tomatoes that will harvest in 2014. It is time to plant them because in a few years that are losing their germination power, a very productive local variety from here in Valencia that surprised me a lot because the healthiest tomatoes are bigger and look how many seeds and this they gave me an old tomato from Tudela that was a flower in which I got it He gave it away with the book and I think it's time to plant.

Another piece of advice I wanted to give you is to use markers if you use more than one variety for the seedbed, as is my case. I'm going to use these markers where we put the name with a permanent marker and if you don't want to complicate life to then know what is in each place, okay, we would tell where we are going to plant, for example these four here and simply by having the text point to where our variety is, we already know that from here to here they are local tomatoes and for example here well The one from Tudela or the one that corresponds to beige is very simple, it does not have any complications and it can be quite good.

I am going to proceed to fill the seedbeds. We will simply be very generous with the soil. Ok, we will fill the ocean in one and level it if there is any impurity. Well, we remove it, I'm going to fill them and now we continue once we have the alveoli prepared, the next step is to press the soil a little. We have the option of pressing them with a pen and then stay or with a pencil and stay with the mark where the holes are going to go. seeds in my case I like to place two per albiol or in case one of the two fails I usually press with my finger a little and I leave a notch ok where the seeds will go is faster and by pressing what we achieve is not leaving any gap of air okay and well, the next step is the seeds and placing the 22 ones if you prefer an always happy 3 this depends on the taste and experience of each one.

In my case I usually leave 2 in addition to the lame one and there first I placed them like this I have them counted 2 and 2. The next thing will be to put a very thin layer of soil on top of these seeds. Once we have the thin layer of soil on, and I say final because the tomato, being a small seed, does not have to be buried too much. Remember the diameter issue. of the seed and the depth at which we will find it, the greater the diameter, the greater the depth. Ok, once we have the seeds covered, we take our label and mark the variety.

Just as an example so that you can see it, then I will continue working to finish the process, we cut the junk and with a watering can or a bottle, as is the case with this one that I have made myself, you make some holes and make as a rain we will apply a first irrigation, well remember that this risk has to be abundant and the issue of it being rain is simply so that we move the seeds and the substrate remains in place after two months and when it arrives we consider that It has a size and number of leaves that are usually four true ones.

We can now proceed to take them out. I recommend that the tray be dry so that they come out of one as in this case and all the roots are close together. The issue of the variety varies from choosing the best. What we can do is plant a local tomato, my case is a Valencian tomato because because it is used to the diseases and pests of the area and has been fighting against them for generations and adapting, we can put a variety that we like more specifically, there is no reason to be this obligation but it is true that the cultivation will be much easier for us if we choose this good and now we are going to proceed to plant them directly in the garden.

Remember that this works for both the garden and the garden or potted garden. We will simply have to change some small details to carry out the transplant from seedbed to garden we will provide a mixture of peat and compost remember that the tomato is a plant that wants on soils very rich in organic matter so we will have to be quite generous with this matter we will take great care of our tomato plant if we can shred it the brush a little the best so that the roots do not contract the pot effect which is that they are always in the same point and do not expand.

We add a little more and now our soil and we will repeat this process with all of them. One detail to take into account is that all the stem that can be buried up to here, all that stem will develop the roots, it will give more vigor and more strength to the plant, so we make sure to bury it very well and that's it. The separation between crops will depend a little on your space and on the other hand, I recommend it. a minimum of 40 centimeters and a maximum of 80. The issue of watering, for those of you who don't know, this plant likes water but doesn't like it hitting the leaves directly, it can facilitate the entry of diseases and other stories, we will give you a deep irrigation that has enough water availability in the depth of the roots and little else now I am going to proceed to continue putting them all on the ground and then I will give you more very good friends like last year many of you asked me about how to install the stakes About the tomato plants, today I am going to talk to you about this, the measurements that I use, the recommended measurements and the materials, as you can see, I have already assembled this one.

It has no mystery for me. I use canes that we cut here in a ditch that they give us permission because we cut them in the process. We cleaned the ditch, he placed it in 2 individual ridges, okay, and I leave the rest as irrigation, I have this and that, for this we will only need the bamboo canes, wood, whatever each one wants to use, I placed them, if you look at some of them, I think it's more or less 50 centimeters is recommended but 80 centimeters works well for me and I don't have any problems. Once we have the canes nailed to each horse, we make a cross, that's why this is called your tornado cross, and in the center we put a cane. guide guide guide now until the end and we will tie them then we will try horizontally the floors that we want, in my particular case I only put between 4 and 5 it depends on the variety at the base here I have a basil that I planted the other day and it is there a little pocha well those are the ropes that I use at the base is where we will plant our tomato plants okay many people plant them here facing the street and then going up I did like this at first but over time I realized that planting them here right next to it okay here the plant rises straighter and gives us better handling as a novelty this year I'm going to use this type of gold which is exactly the same only it's faster okay because we pass a taut water rope very important about the tension okay because Here the tomatoes are going to rest and look, this year is the first time that I am going to use this method, I have never used it before.

I hope it turns out well. I will tell you. I have the scarecrow. Very good friends. Today we are going to talk about the benefits of pruning. About the tomato, many of you ask me why pay how far to prune, how many stems to leave if we can't cut the small stems or suckers, if something happens, and in short, what happens is that, for example, this one that has been left is fine without touching it to make the video for a while, as you can see, it is filling up with offspring, okay, it is dedicating a lot of energy, for example, this one here is my game and at what size what happens is that with so much foliage, it is worth so much apart from foliating the ear and the video can appear very easily So if we can't, not only are the tomatoes worth something like this one, for example, here or this one, they are not going to gain weight or ripen, but on top of that, the plant will be prone to or contain pests and more diseases, so it is very important to double it, as it is already small and he mentioned it up look at what piece of sucker side and game he preferred to call it I'm going to give a couple of tips okay the first is that you always leave two guides this one here and this one we will direct it through the reeds and matter of mastering that more flowers this because I am going to explain it if we leave two guides in the event that this cup, for example floral here or being here, fails one of the two, we will always have another part where the plant will pull and throw new ones, so we can also leave them in the part lower if you look closely they usually know a lot of it okay and here this here is one of them I am here is the south because here any type of disease rises very easily we fold and it was another tip that I also put into practice is to remove the lower leaves of very easy, just like the suckers without any problem, you also have to take into account a very important thing that many people think about and that is that when you do the pruning, make sure the plant is not wet because if the plant iswet can be a source of infection tomato plants are medicated in terms of water and nothing to recognize the suckers is very simple this here is one thing if you already know how much to remove I usually remove them when they are of an intermediate size it is worth an example of being This is also the case here and it would be fine to simply fold the pac into something easy, you don't have to use force and the advantages of the can supported, I said, less diseases, healthier fruits since it dedicates less energy to producing leaves, okay, and dedicates more to the fruits.

We will also have more harvest because the fruits will be earlier and ultimately a much healthier plant, which in the end is what interests us, taking advantage of the end of the tomato cultivation cycle. Today we are going to see five common problems in this cultivation and how to solve them, we begin with a very common problem in tomato cultivation and one that you often ask me is why the flowers fall off. They can fall for several reasons, the most common being either excess heat where the tomato plant sheds The flowers can also be due to excessive humidity that dries them out and ends up dropping them, or something less common is incorrect fertilization where potassium is scarce, nitrogen is abundant and for this reason the plant drops the flowers.

The solution if you live in a very hot place would be to install a species of semi-shaded simes with which the plant would no longer throw away the flowers. Control the irrigations that are adequate, neither too few nor too excessive and logically before starting the cultivation we will fertilize the correct soil, balanced and rich in potassium, another very common problem. In tomato plants it is to find the leaves of these as twisted, look, twisted or wrinkled. They usually grow with this deformity when they are being watered too much, not at all, or hardly watered at all, or also one of the most likely causes is that the plant has few nutrients. in the soil or is not able for some reason to assimilate the nutrients, either because its roots are not developing well or it is dedicating all the nutrients to the fruit and is not able to send nutrients to the leaves.

To solve this, the only thing we can do is apply some fertilizer in the soil always before cultivation and during cultivation and my advice would be to use nettle slurry as it improves the soil, greatly improves microbial activity and helps the plant find the nutrients it needs at all times during the cultivation of the plants. tomato plants it is very normal for fungi such as downy mildew and powdery mildew to appear but the worst fungus that can appear and from my point of view the strongest and most harmful is called fusarium of it of now this fungus dries up the plant completely starts from below look let's go Let's get closer so that you can see it, the plant that there is a tomato is drying up, we go up and it starts to be all green again, the drying ends up killing it and one way to combat this fungus that is quite complicated to combat would be to do crop rotations, do not repeat here the Next year we will grow tomato again so the pathogens that cause it or favor it will disappear and once the crop is finished it would be a very good idea to put a plastic sheet on the soil and carry out solarization so that we will eliminate the fungi to a greater extent and prevent them from appear again in other crops, I also tell you that if we do not repeat the crop family, much better because if, for example, we plant potatoes here, it is most likely that another problem that you ask me very often will also appear with the fungus is about spots or being able to vertical at the base of the tomatoes, this may be due to inadequate watering, given that the watering is quite scarce, although it may also be a fairly notable lack of calcium in the soil.

I have had a hard time finding them, I have found this one here and this other one, if they are cases. isolates like this one that we only found two, so we remove it and that's it, nothing happens, but if there are many we will have to study what is happening, whether it is the irrigation or the calcium, a way to solve it is very simple or we water it properly if not. We are making or adding calcium at home. If the soil is acidic, we can add calcium as we have already seen in the channel by crushing eggshells and adding them to the compost to make it richer in calcium or we can also add a little bit of gypsum, which is a trick. which is used around here but remember you have to study the soil before doing any experiments and it would also be interesting to have always provided all this before starting cultivation with this last problem we finish today's video and it is about cracked or cracked tomatoes these They are just as edible so don't throw us away, just if you get a little bit of stuff, you can cut this ugly part and that's it.

Some cracks are only marked and scarred here, but as I told you, they are just as edible. This could be due to several causes, excess watering, excessive fertilization or sudden changes in temperature, very good friends, I have been seeing in the comments for a long time that many of you are asking me to make a second evolution of the greenhouse, showing the harvest. The truth is that I have been harvesting tomatoes for some time now. What happens, there were only a few quantities, four or five tomatoes, so I have seen a good quantity. I say it is a good time to tell you the news and the harvest.

To start, you have this tomato, the one here that is loaded with the one that is most right for us later over there. We also have a lot of tomatoes, even down there in the back. The truth is that it is very good to tell you that I started with a side of reeds but I was not very convinced by the issue and I moved on to the ropes and the theme of the ropes has been a total success. They hold up super well, they fit great. The truth is that I liked it much more than when applied in the greenhouse garden.

I like this rope system much more. Then the issue of the cucumbers is going well. There are no pests. Nothing appears. Quite a few cucumbers come out. This battle has taken three or four and here they promise many new ones. Although it is in full sun, it is going a little worse than the other one on the other side. Now we will see. What I am going to do later before finishing is to make a harvest and We see everything like this you see how it went up here sorry but I'm roasting it's terribly hot I have to do apical pruning because it doesn't have to grow any more and it's almost on the roof of the greenhouse here we had a mishap that I have We have to seal it so that the bugs and insects and so on don't get in, and there was a hailstorm and our greenhouse was broken there, but hey, it's a patch and the problem is solved, nothing happens if we don't put it here, we have a surprise, let's see if I can Focus on it, look at what a beast there is in the background and look at what piece of tomato that green one is tremendous.

I think it is the largest in the entire greenhouse. When it is done, it will be a joy. Then this one here has broken, but due to the lack of water there we have more. because there was a season without being able to come and water, then behind here the cherry trees are growing, I haven't gotten many flowers yet, the truth is, the peppers are already starting to have peppers, some of them smaller, some of them bigger, and 31, you don't see the tail here on the peppers. It is for you to plant a cabbage if it is not in season because this is why you see it is a very good trick, you put the cabbage and the snails go like this and they will prefer to eat their nap with it.

You apply some ecological biological insecticide, logically those snails are going to fall into In my case, I have not applied anything, I have simply been selecting them manually and the parsley apparently does not do them in any case. It is also very good. Here we have more peppers, the pigments that look delicious and here is the other one that I told you has something more shade and it has provided much more cucumbers. Look if we join together here you see this one in size and this one here I am going to do the harvest and now as soon as I have it we will continue the video I have already finished the harvest as you see three pickles various tomatoes and peppers that The griddle is great, I can tell you that if you see different sizes, sometimes you ask me in the comments, why this happens, it is very simple, the organic tomato, the tomato that really tastes like a tomato, has to be like that, each one has to be one size, if all The tomatoes are the same, they are colors, worry, okay, because those tomatoes probably have a little tomato flavor.

I have no complaints and I am very happy with organic farming. From my point of view, it is the best. We respect nature. We have an authentic flavor. I also wanted to tell you about it. a couple of things that I forgot before, the first is for the most curious and tell Ivan that you have that more full of weeds, this is not weeds, this is a radish that I have explained to get the seeds out, as you can see, they will come out in these capsules. the seeds and then another thing that has left me here if some type of fungus appears in your tomato plants or something similar like this here, what you have to do is cut it at the base and discard it, do not throw it in the compost bin if we throw it away to the compost bin the fungus may spread to other plants when we use this compost maybe yes maybe not the best thing is not to risk it we throw it outside and we even throw it away and well I think it didn't leave me with anything I'm going to use it while I'm here Inside, fix the hole at the top, I will put a patch on it.

If you have any questions about the greenhouse or want to ask me anything about growing pickled tomatoes or peppers, leave it in the comments. Also, as always, your opinion is appreciated and what I always tell you is appreciated. see you in the next video
