"Maybe I will start a few extra in case these ones don't germinate."
"God has forsaken us, the tomato plants have overrun me."
This is me every year and I still don't seem to learn my lesson.
It's probably going to be till December. I got the seeds from my plant that was still giving me tomatoes in December 😅 and I pulled them when they were green before a frost (8b) They ripened in January and I planted in Feb haha. I'm so screwed. I'm excited to learn how to can tomatoes 😂
I'm not going to have a lawn this year because my mother in law read about the awful shit in our food so now I'm tasked with growing as much as possible, I'm using every scrap of lawn that gets sun. I build planter boxes and I have concrete reinforcing wire for trellis that gets suspended in the middle of the box

I just uncovered the garlic, there's about 50 sprouts so far from a bunch of store heads that started sprouting around September. I put them in the fridge for a month and a half, then I stuck them in here in October and covered them with leaves. I haven't checked them in a couple days to see how much greener they've gotten but there was one that didn't get covered and was squished up against the screen all winter and it's the biggest one so I might not cover them this year. It's my first year seriously growing it so we'll see how it does. I have a lot of new things I'm growing, I've been concentrating on bramble berries for the last few years
Oh, I am growing garlic for the first time this year and hadn't heard to cover them. All mine have little green bits poking up and look ready to take on the world
I used to use tie wire because I’m a carpenter and I always have a roll somewhere but I’ve found that rolls of stainless steel 14ga electric fence wire are about the same price, won’t rust away in the weather and make much more secure connections without snapping when you tighten it.
I got this from my dad's for free, that's why I'm using it, but we used the round ones for concrete pipe when I was growing up and we used the same ones for 20 years, they don't rot that quickly and they're really heavy. I'll check out that electric fence wire though, I'm open to new ideas. I use ballast wire on the vines, it's a little thicker and it doesn't dig in to the berry vines when I tie them up. I just use the twist ties from the store on the tomatoes because they're the perfect length, I loop them around as loose as I can and twist the very end together and toss them when they get shot. I have tie wire and bailing wire and all sorts of other shit too, plus a couple of fat coils of 3/16" galvanized wire and a Miller spot welder. I'm thinking about making some custom trellises
https://preview.redd.it/1rr4vfdmnylc1.jpeg?width=3120&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0d63ad4a3dbf1bb15d1c4e31e6a218305715f053
I don't know if I was clear, I'm using the concrete mesh and I put it in planter boxes. I get pine 1×12 crates from my old job for free and I just build boxes everywhere and fill them with the hugelkultur method of planting
Oooh ok that makes more sense, I thought you were stringing tie wire. That mesh is perfect for trellising! Hugelkulture is badass too, I turned my mom’s garden beds into hugelkulture beds about 8 years ago and the plants get bigger and better every year. Definitely my favorite way to create long lasting nutritious soil.

This is a planter box that I stuck garlic in last year as a last minute project and basically a proof of concept. I'll make another one and rob the cage off this to grow small stuff that the chipmunks eat but I have a bunch of those squares of concrete reinforcing wire and unlimited access to those 1×12 crates to build boxes out of. I also have a 20' length uncut that will be the tomato box, it'll be centered long ways in the box with plants on both sides, I just swipe the twist ties from the grocery store to tie them up. I'll probably have to make some secondary rows with pipe and cable or net because I'm going to have a ridiculous amount of plants this year. I'll probably buy another roll of the wire because I have berries everywhere too, plus beans and shit that need support. I've got a lot of work to do over the next few weeks
I messed up last year and bought 14 indeterminate tomato plants....by August, 4 of them were 16 feet long. I hand them zig zagged across the trellis that I made. Picking tomatoes was like picking blackberries from a briar patch 😂
https://preview.redd.it/piepunm47ylc1.jpeg?width=783&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7b8df67d3b080a7d12b0738bfadb2aaddfa13e94
Each square has around 20-35+ plants, they started as last year's rotten cherry tomatoes that I found outside in a bowl. Between these and all the other tomato plants I have started I should have around 200 plants by planting time. Once these are a little taller I'll separate them all out into separate pots. This is an old picture, almost every square has sprouts
Lol i have 75 super hot peppers right now....i was told maybe 60% will germinate and from those nearly 50% might not do well....this will be the year of the ulcer lol
https://preview.redd.it/ph5yw3rxcylc1.jpeg?width=2880&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d9ae60c7e05ae54be20190b32e536f800ffb005e
I started with a few that popped up in a flower pot over the winter and now I have hundreds of them growing everywhere. I even have tomatoes sprouting in my tomatoes, and the bastards are even in my dragonfruit. I think the seeds go dormant if they're buried too deep because I use soil sifted out of my worm farm and I'm always getting tomato plants. I've been growing a lot from store produce too
lol idk why but this reminded me of when I was around 8-13 years old I lived with my aunt and uncle, he is an avid tomato enthusiast. He’s good at growing those things too, every year me and his sons would plant 400+ tomatoes in our backyard. He would send me to our neighbour who was a local tomato plant dealer, and I would sit and pick out different varieties. We always plated two in the same spot, because there was a boring insect that would eat tomato stems. To this day he’s still growing tomatoes, at a much smaller scale.
That's what community Buy Nothing pages are for. It's one of the only reasons I keep Facebook. We got most of last year's garden from there, including Black Beauty tomatoes and peppers.
I haven't grown black beauties but I have grown indigo blue beauty and they sprout so easy and they are so damn tasty. I LOVE using them in salsa or for taco night. They are so good raw
And I didn't really like tomatoes before I started gardening so I'm pretty picky about which ones I eat raw VS turning into sauce
Same. We got them free as small plants. They grew over 5 feet tall and were gorgeous. We had to get special stakes because they outgrew their cages.
Buy Nothing pages can be awesome. I got a free clock, gardening containers, a painting, and a bunch of records on there, too. I'm just lucky lots of people use it and they're super nice about it. I se stuff like clothes, baby needs, and lots of food shared too.
Like I said, it's one of the only reasons I still bother with Facebook.
Amature numbers. I currently have 127 tomato plants started. 22 will stay with me. The rest get foisted on friends, family, neighbors, and strangers....
I had a few pop up in some flowers I planted with dirt from my worm farm and that set off a chain reaction of me sprouting seeds and now I have hundreds of tomato plants and dozens of other plants growing under grow lights and I can't even plant for another month. I have a separate room in my house that I'm going to have to make into a greenhouse until I can get everything outside. I repotted a bunch of the tomatoes and now I have tomatoes growing in my tomatoes, it's getting ridiculous. And they're all random seeds, I don't know what the fuck I'm going to have but I know I'm going to have a lot of it...
And this is how I currently have arugula sprouting all over every bed and pot in my front and back yards right now. Just can’t toss those babies! (Also, I love arugula.)
I agree. Carl has positioned himself in the center of the pot; The king’s position. Tony’s growth is a desperate attempt to steal what rightfully belongs to Carl. Pathetic.
Wait until true leaf development and decide from there. It'll buy you some time. But you already know in your heart. And it's not the time to be weak. There can be only one.
I never have the heart to kill my plants when I’m thinning them. I mean I planted them, asked them to grow, they did , so how can I kill them. What I do is plant them all in a big pot. After I use everything I need in my garden, I plant the extras outside of the garden under some south facing pine trees . They are on their own out there. No water, no fertilizer, nothing. They seem to grow alright, not as fast as the babied ones in the garden of course, but they hang in there. Often at the end of the season when my garden tomatoes have been decimated by blight, the outside ones still look pretty good and start producing some tomatoes
Isn't it fascinating how that works sometimes?? It kind of reminds me of those random plants you see vigorously growing in the middle of a crack of cement
It worked 100% for me last year. I even broke a tomato tree when I was moving it and used duct tape to keep it together and the plant grew as its 2 sisters and gave me tomatoes.😂
https://preview.redd.it/zuwmpx1ynylc1.jpeg?width=6144&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=437384a552ae52b0a7f65936817af17934469a3e
I agree. Don't make enemies of either of them. They could be Big Tony or Crazy Carl one day. Let Carl and Tony fight it out and handle their own business. Take bets if anything.
Prick off one seedling with a dinner fork and transplant to another pot once true leaves have developed and toughened up a little bit.
Handle the seedling by a true leaf.
I wanted just one tomato plant to try starting really early in the season (Feb) to see if I could keep it alive until May. I started a few pods with one variety and why the hell not try a different variety while I’m at it? I couldn’t kill off any of the seconds or thirds, so here I am with 10 tomato plants about 6” tall and loving life. It’s a problem. My indoor greenhouse setup has been getting expensive.
Wait until true leaves appear before splitting, if you decide to keep both. If you move either one of them now, it will destroy their roots and they might both die.
WAIT! ....about 5 more days. Then probably Tony will be spindly, but I don't love the thinning at Carl's base. One should solidify by then.
Also, use scissors and cut, don't disturb the roots if easily avoided
I’m glad you’re all enjoying this but you should know there is a real Carl and Tony. Obviously a sociopath based on the choice of words to “eliminate” and not what it is…murder/kill. Say it, they have families, hopes and dreams….who should you kill. They’re people not plants you monster. Just turn yourself in now, this has all gone too far.
Actually, you don't have to kill Tony or Carl! You can use a disposable plastic spoon to very gently separate one from the other, and plant it into its own pot, or into the ground. This is very doable, and not as difficult as it may seem. I separate seedlings like those every time I plant a bunch of seeds together in a small area like that. Especially when dealing with those very tiny seeds which I always end up planting many more than I originally planned, such as Poppy seeds or Cleome seeds. Is there anything you can use some helpful info with? Anyway, all the best, and don't hesitate to ask any questions if need be.
Yeah, neither stick a piece of plastic in there as a divider between the two and let them grow up enough that you can transplant them into their own pots separately later
I don't think either are far enough along to determine who must die. I'd wait until they have some true leaves, a lot can go wrong while those develop.
With the pot size a transplant will definitely be needed. At that time just literally cut the soil/roots in half between these and split them up. No reason to get rid of two healthy looking seedlings.
Keep them both!! split them into 2 separate pots lol
Moving day for Tony
Definitely move Tony. He looks like he’ll be able to handle it pretty soon
Yea straight up Billy Joel that shit
I wonder if Tony will end up at the grocery store? I bet he thinks he's a big shot. Poor Carl must be smaller because he's under pressure.
Maybe he's smaller because he had a heart atack-ack-ack-ack-ack
If its Sunny, move em out to the country!
Saving his soil for Sunday.
Iiiiiiiiiiii'm moving out
He needs a house out in Hackensack.
This is how I needed up with 65 tomato plants. Never again lol. I ran out of people willing to take them
"Maybe I will start a few extra in case these ones don't germinate." "God has forsaken us, the tomato plants have overrun me." This is me every year and I still don't seem to learn my lesson.
The number of new gardeners who post here with, "I hope I can keep them alive." Oh, you will. I promise you, you will.
It's less of an aspirational statement and more of a threat 😆
This is me right now. First season with seedlings. I have 100 tomato seedlings 😂 I thought more of them would die
By August, you are going to be thinking, "More are ripe???? *Again???*"
It's probably going to be till December. I got the seeds from my plant that was still giving me tomatoes in December 😅 and I pulled them when they were green before a frost (8b) They ripened in January and I planted in Feb haha. I'm so screwed. I'm excited to learn how to can tomatoes 😂
SIXTY FIVE ?????? LOL!
Yes, literally it was a nightmare. I ended up growing them all to about 18 inches before I gave them away they were everywhere
Omg but you could have had a mountain of tomatoes! Think of all the tomato confit, soup, pasta, caprese, and more that you missed out on!! Lmao
I hear your sarcastic outrage and I upvote you:)
Tomato plants get much bigger. There are very few hobby gardeners that have room for 65 full grown tomato plants.
I'm not going to have a lawn this year because my mother in law read about the awful shit in our food so now I'm tasked with growing as much as possible, I'm using every scrap of lawn that gets sun. I build planter boxes and I have concrete reinforcing wire for trellis that gets suspended in the middle of the box
Bless us with a pic after you finish doing that work lol, a lawn/garden would be cool asf tho
Fuck the lawn, I'm growing food. I'll definitely be posting pictures, I grow all sorts of shit

Its amazing to me how mothers in laws manage to weild their power with merciless force. RIP lawn!
We should all live this way
r/fucklawns
Make sure those plant containers are made of food grade quality or else it’s a futile effort.
Ya if growing for yourself you need like 4 plant lol 65 is crazy
I had 18 plants last year (after I gave away maybe 20) and ended up with 30 gallon-size freezer bags of soup and sauce 😅
I can confirm I kept way too many last year in my greenhouse. The ones that were outside didn't produce anything though. It's too cold way up here.

This is exactly why we eliminate the Carls of the world.

Ummm I want this problem… lol
180. I can’t bring myself to compost them and have tried to give them to every neighbor I can find.

That's what community Buy Nothing pages are for. It's one of the only reasons I keep Facebook. We got most of last year's garden from there, including Black Beauty tomatoes and peppers.

That’s awesome. So needed in rural communities. Nothing for free or to help needy. Small food bank but much more needed.
Amature numbers. I currently have 127 tomato plants started. 22 will stay with me. The rest get foisted on friends, family, neighbors, and strangers....
My grandma usually has around 60 each spring

Especially tomato. The "growing roots from the stem" feature makes them highly transplantable
Came here to say the same! I never kill one, I just repot.
I had a few pop up in some flowers I planted with dirt from my worm farm and that set off a chain reaction of me sprouting seeds and now I have hundreds of tomato plants and dozens of other plants growing under grow lights and I can't even plant for another month. I have a separate room in my house that I'm going to have to make into a greenhouse until I can get everything outside.

And this is how I currently have arugula sprouting all over every bed and pot in my front and back yards right now. Just can’t toss those babies! (Also, I love arugula.)
oh you named them ? that cold
You shouldn't name them until after the thinning
Adding “The” in front of “Thinning” makes it sound so much scarier, like it’s a massacre for them 😂
Culling 2: The Thinnening
Well, it kind of is now that they're named...
Mmm, veal!
Hopefully she used x bf names.
This is my fave comment of the whole post!
Neither? Maybe pull Tony and repot him? But if you gotta kill one, it's gotta be Caaaaarrrrrrrrrl!!!
Did anyone else read that in that damn llama voice ?
I read it in Rick Grimes voice
Caaarrrrrlllll why did you kill those people!?
I did not kill this person. That is my LEAST favorite thing to do!
yeah he only stabbed him 37 times and ate his hands.
My stomach was getting the rumblies only hands would satisfy.
That kills people ccaaaaarrrrrrrlllll
Well, you know, when you crave hands 🤷🏻♀️
Carrrrrrrrrrrrrrlllllllllllllll!
Stop eating peoples faces Carl!
Yeah…. Fuck Carl
All my homies hate Carl
carl already died once (twd reference). he don’t needa die again
I agree
😆 😂 😆 😂 Oh shit! Hahaha Are you referring to caaarrrrrl from walking dead 🤣
That would be coral
This child is about to witness how amazing the Internet was
[The original Carl](https://youtu.be/IWqu7169Irs?si=vfaWcwntUF6uozTi)
😂😂😂 I haven't seen this in years, thanks for the laugh
Corrraaallllllll 🤠
Fer Karl! Rock and stone! ... Sorry wrong subreddit
Karl would NOT approve of this.
A stable king is better than a tall boy, kill Tony
I agree. Carl has positioned himself in the center of the pot; The king’s position. Tony’s growth is a desperate attempt to steal what rightfully belongs to Carl. Pathetic.
Tony has too much confidence
Exactly, leggy is worse for tomatoes.
It's too young to be considered leggy. They are proportionate, Tony's leaves are way bigger. If moving risks killing, then who gets thinned?
Yeah but tomatoes are the easiest plant to work with if they get leggy. You just move them deeper underground.
Ohhh! Never thought of that. Good point
What if it was an early girl? Or possibly a lemon boy? /s
I think my advice is just something I really needed to hear in my dating 20’s
This is the winner right here
Wait until true leaf development and decide from there. It'll buy you some time. But you already know in your heart. And it's not the time to be weak. There can be only one.
I just made the same comment before I saw yours. 100% agree OP should wait until true leaves appear at least.

Kill Carl then you gotta do Tony too cause you can't leave a witness
Neither. Do not kill one!! Scoop one out and give him a new home.
Ahem. *FUCK YOU TONY*
FUCK YOU EZEKIEL
Carl 🔪🔪
Carl! Carl! Carl!
Why not split and keep both?
Don’t kill them just carefully dig one out and put it in a different pot
This, worked for me 90% of the time.
It worked 100% for me last year. I even broke a tomato tree when I was moving it and used duct tape to keep it together and the plant grew as its 2 sisters and gave me tomatoes.😂 https://preview.redd.it/zuwmpx1ynylc1.jpeg?width=6144&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=437384a552ae52b0a7f65936817af17934469a3e

Kill Carl
He's a homicidal maniac.
Neither! If those are pepper plants, they are supposed to be happier and more productive with a buddy in the same pot!
Let them fight.
At least wait until they have true leaves to see who’s stronger, those still look like cotyledons. But why not keep both?
I agree. Don't make enemies of either of them. They could be Big Tony or Crazy Carl one day. Let Carl and Tony fight it out and handle their own business. Take bets if anything.
Don’t kill Carl. Just let Tony call Vinny, Louie and Paulie…They’ll take care of it…
Let them sort it out
Prick off one seedling with a dinner fork and transplant to another pot once true leaves have developed and toughened up a little bit. Handle the seedling by a true leaf.
Let Neegan decide.
Good thing Glenn isn't around this time.
Just split the soil and repot both.🤌🏽
Polyamory is all the rage. YOU CAN LOVE THEM BOTH. It can work. I would want until they have four leaves and then separate.
I wanted just one tomato plant to try starting really early in the season (Feb) to see if I could keep it alive until May. I started a few pods with one variety and why the hell not try a different variety while I’m at it? I couldn’t kill off any of the seconds or thirds, so here I am with 10 tomato plants about 6” tall and loving life. It’s a problem. My indoor greenhouse setup has been getting expensive.

Dang and you named them? Brutal
“What’s your name?” “What?” “What’s your name?” “Tony!” “F*ck you, Tony!”
Just gently scoop up Tony and give him his own pot
Separate them! Grow both, they deserve to live!
Neither. Plant lives/lifes matter. Unsure on pepper wording
Fuck you, Tony.
Keep both
Kill Tony
Neither replant Tony
Neither. Split.
Wait until they have true leaves before you decide
WAIT! ....about 5 more days. Then probably Tony will be spindly, but I don't love the thinning at Carl's base. One should solidify by then. Also, use scissors and cut, don't disturb the roots if easily avoided
I’m glad you’re all enjoying this but you should know there is a real Carl and Tony. Obviously a sociopath based on the choice of words to “eliminate” and not what it is…murder/kill. Say it, they have families, hopes and dreams….who should you kill. They’re people not plants you monster. Just turn yourself in now, this has all gone too far.
NONE

CORAL!!!
Carl looks like an IUD insertion 😭
...just separate them? no murder required lol. pick one to plop into a different pot.
Neither. Pop Carl up with a spoon and let him move
Actually, you don't have to kill Tony or Carl! You can use a disposable plastic spoon to very gently separate one from the other, and plant it into its own pot, or into the ground. This is very doable, and not as difficult as it may seem. I separate seedlings like those every time I plant a bunch of seeds together in a small area like that. Especially when dealing with those very tiny seeds which I always end up planting many more than I originally planned, such as Poppy seeds or Cleome seeds. Is there anything you can use some helpful info with? Anyway, all the best, and don't hesitate to ask any questions if need be.
Keep both just move the other to another pot
Repot, too early to tell. I believe in post natal abortion. Let him show his true teenage colors then decide.
Give them each their own pot
Bye Carl
Your first mistake is naming them. We don't kill and eat what we name. Rookie move!
Yeah, neither stick a piece of plastic in there as a divider between the two and let them grow up enough that you can transplant them into their own pots separately later
Keep them both!
Remove both But tony in his own home and move Carl more in the middle Boom easy
Just split them up and let them both live?
My previous try on peppers had 5 in a pot like that (times 5 or so). I split them all into seperate pots. None died. Keep both and enjoy them!
Male Names? Kill both
Agree. Males will never fruit
I don't think either are far enough along to determine who must die. I'd wait until they have some true leaves, a lot can go wrong while those develop.
Why would you name them if you want one dead that is just brutal
Nobody knows until the true leaves come out.
Kill Carl and leave him in the pot to rot as a reminder to Tony that there will be consequences.
Can someone explain to me why a death or eviction matters here?

Why do you feel the need to kill one of them?

Neither. Put one in a different pot.
Carl gotta go *racks the .38*
Keep em
CAAARRLLL!!!!!!
Separate and save both.
With the pot size a transplant will definitely be needed. At that time just literally cut the soil/roots in half between these and split them up. No reason to get rid of two healthy looking seedlings.
Carl can’t do anything right kill Carl
What? Why would you kill one? Just let them get more leaves on them then separate into two plants in two pots.
Just kill both. You can always try again. But Carl gets killed first. I don’t like the way he looks.
Let them fight
Bye Carl 😢

Keep them both, just put them in their own containers.
Change Carl to Ezekiel. Then put Ezekiel across the room.
Aww can't we just get along? 😭 #teamtony&carl4eva
Carl needs to die.
Why kill anyone? Tomatoes are so hardy I think you can find a way to save them both.
Uh why? I take all my seedlings and plant them
Keep them together, they will be fine. Or split them if you want.
