GROWING JULIET ROMA GRAPE TOMATOES
will see the Juliet tomato a very
prolific variety of tomato that's a lot
of fun to grow in your garden as a part
of this video I also wanted to share one
tip that some of you had actually asked
about is how I water my containers so
this is what I do I take a quarter inch
tubing connected to Bob T and then I
just run a soaker hose around it so that
way what happens is when the water
supply is turned on the soaker hose
evenly waters the container by using a
garden clip you can secure it and now we
come to the part of planting the tomato
plant now I know a lot of people might
give you tips like plant the actual
plant very deep so that it sends out a
lot of roots it's actually true but the
plant itself is so prolific that even if
you do not really plant it deep you know
just like that is good enough believe me
it will send out a very dense root
system you can see there about two weeks
after planting the plant has grown
really well strong stems great leaves
it's a good start
the support that I use for this tomato
plant is the tomato trellis from grew
tall and you can click on this video
link to see a review of that gauge so in
about 20 days of planting you can see
that the plant has grown really well the
juliet tomato plant is one of the most
prolific growing tomato plants I've ever
experienced they grow great in this warm
California summer
and as you can see this plant has
already started forming some nice fruits
here they look pretty small but they
will grow in size the Julie tomato
produces fruits or tomatoes that are
called grape tomatoes and grape tomatoes
are generally on the sweeter side but
for the juliet plant I did find that the
taste was not extremely sweet and you
will see all the details of this plant
towards the end of this video when you
see the plant chart
you
you
so the rated maturity period for the
juliet tomato is about 75 to 80 days
after planting and 40 days later you can
see that the fruits of really firm very
well and they haven't started ripening
yet so we would have to wait for about
75 to 80 days in order to start seeing
some red tomatoes on this plant so so
far this tomato plant has done really
well it first sent out nice healthy
shoots and then it's now concentrating
its energy into producing fruits and
this is the only tomato plant in my
garden right now that is producing a lot
of fruits without the flowers falling
off especially because the temperatures
are so high here it's at about 95
degrees in California right now and the
Julie tomato plant is still producing a
lot of fruits
so we have waited patiently for 80 days
now and you can see that tomorrow that
just fell down that was a ripe tomato
and the other fruits have also started
ripening now so 80 days is the time when
you can start harvesting your Juliet
Tomatoes so I would say it is is still a
good length of time to wait for this
plant because it is just such a prolific
plant that it is going to keep producing
remember it's an indeterminate tomato
plant so it's going to keep reusing
wines as it grows till the weather is
cold enough to kill it so as you can see
the fruits of all started forming
completely now and the one ripe tomato
that just fell down is incidentally
going to be our first harvest you can
see how these this tomato grows in
bunches here the grape tomatoes grow in
bunches and produce a lot these are the
rebars holding the cage in place and
let's go ahead and harvest our first
tomato which is actually falling down
right here so let's take it and it's
pretty good firm tomato no signs of
cracks so I would like to know from you
my YouTube subscribers
have you tried growing the Giulia tomato
plant and if you have do you like it how
do you like its prolific growth it's
taste do share your experiences by
commenting on this video and if you
haven't tried growing the juliet tomato
plant yet I think you should give it a
shot I'm sure you'll be pleasantly
surprised at this prolific and
determinate tomato that just keeps on
producing throughout the season
so I want to show you how it looks like
from the inside so let's cut it open and
do a taste test so as you can see the
tomato has a not much of juice it's more
like a slicing tomato or a pieced tomato
and it's slightly sweet so it's great on
salads and let's see how it tastes it
tastes a bit sweet and I'll load that
for my taste test in the chart for this
plant profile
