Get ready for planting day at Laidback Homestead as I plant over 100 tomato plants for the 2026 spring garden! In this video, I walk you through how I prepare my garden beds using compost-in-place, wood ash, and organic fertilizers, plus share my best tomato planting tips for a successful harvest. We’ll cover how to choose the right tomato varieties for different places, how sunlight and garden placement affect growth and fruiting, and how I maximize space using my version of square foot gardening in raised beds. I also show my double cup seed starting method, transplanting techniques, and how I plan my garden layout with companion planting, herbs, and flowers. Whether you’re growing tomatoes in a backyard garden, raised beds, or a small space, these beginner-friendly tips will help you grow healthy, productive tomato plants all season long. 🌱🍅 Reach us at: thelaidbackhomestead@gmail.com Grab a pair👢 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FN77D2LB?maas=maas_adg_68027F77F27DEBD0D2D5D03A32D6BD0E_afap_abs&ref_=aa_maas&tag=maas; Discount Code 15% off: THELAID15 Check more about KalKal boots https://www.amazon.com/kalkal?maas=maas_adg_FF560437EB3BAB4BF2FFB8D6A68D54E5_afap_abs&ref_=aa_maas&tag=maas; Beautiful Bird Feeders: Kingsyard Amazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/D724DA94-F259-4911-A474-467A7C9041DB Discount Code: LAIDBACK20 (valid until May 24th, 2026) Affiliate Links: -trays: https://amzn.to/4kpnHjc -self watering bucket inserts: https://amzn.to/473Ah1U Chapters: 00:00 –Planting 100+ Tomatoes + Bed Prep 2:52 – Don’t Skip This: Sunlight Matters! ☀️ 4:25 – My Best Tomato Varieties So Far 🍅 9:48 – What to Grow in Shady Garden Spots #garden #homestead #gardening #tomato #gardentours #thelaidbackhomestead #backyardgardening #smallspacegardening #containergardening #hydroponics #kalkal #kalkalboots 🌱 Welcome to The Laid-Back Homestead! 🌱 Here we inspire everyone to grow food in ANY space—backyards, balconies, or indoors.
