Key insights about video Planting up tomatoes and peppers #gardening #backyardfarming #zone9 #gardeningtipsforbeginners

🌻 Christina runs an American flower farm and is transitioning to growing more vegetables and fruits in her backyard.

🌱 She has purchased various vegetable starts, including different types of tomatoes such as Cherokee purple, big beef, and celebrity.

🍅 Christina uses tomatoes primarily for making sauces as her family enjoys pasta dishes with red sauce.

🥒 Cucumbers, lemon cucumbers, and sweet bell peppers are among the other produce she plans to grow.

🚿 She is utilizing a drip irrigation system with emitters spaced 12 to 6 inches apart to water her garden beds efficiently.

📅 At the time of the video, the regional weather in zone 9B (Oakdale, California) is experiencing temperatures ranging from 80 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit, with a significant drop expected mid-next week.

🌾 Christina has enriched her garden soil with amendments like peat moss, perlite, horticultural charcoal, and gypsum to improve water penetration and reduce soil compaction.

🌞 The area gets very hot in summer, with temperatures sometimes reaching up to 117 degrees Fahrenheit, which is suitable for growing tomatoes.

🏡 Her farm layout includes designated beds for strawberries, carrots, and herbs like mint, fennel, and basil, which she uses for cooking and incense.

Q&A

Can you tell us more about the types of tomatoes you are planting?

I have a couple different Tomatoes. I have a Cherokee purple, I have big beef, and I have two celebrity tomatoes.

What is your reason for growing tomatoes in your backyard?

I like to have tomatoes in my backyard because I'll make tomato sauce with them. We don't really eat raw Tomatoes, but we do eat a lot of spaghetti and stuff with a red sauce, so I use tomatoes for those.

Which other vegetables are you planting along with the tomatoes?

Along with the tomatoes, I'm also planting some slicing cucumbers, one of our favorites the lemon cucumber, and a couple different sweet bell peppers. These include a California (Cal) Wonder which is pretty big, and another bell pepper without a label which I’m assuming is also the Cali Wonder.

What are your plans for arranging the plants in your garden bed?

My plan is to put the tomatoes and the bell peppers in this bed, which is a bed that I used to have them in three years ago. This is my strawberry and carrot bed right now, and I'm just going to continue on with the vegetables in this one and put the bell peppers in here.

What is the climate like in your area and how does that affect your planting strategy?

We're in zone 9B Oakdale, California in the Central Valley, specifically in the San Joaquin Valley. Right now it's 80 degrees. Our high is 95 this week and then we drop back down to 63 later mid next week. Tomatoes grow very well in this area. We get very hot in the summer, sometimes as high as 117 degrees in August but typically stay about 110 during the mid-summer months.

How are you preparing the soil for your vegetable plants?

I amend my beds heavily with peat moss, perlite, horticultural charcoal, and this year I also tried some gypsum to break up the hard pan and to help with water going through the soil.

What is your watering schedule for the garden beds?

I've reset my drip system with four-inch emitters going to each bed, and they are between 12 and 6 inches apart. I've set the drip system to go off every two days for 45 minutes.
