Hardcore Minecraft just got EASY! Episode 2

love how the vibe is basically neopolitan icecream, vanilla is birch, cherry wood is strawberry, and dark oak is chocolate. it's so aesthetically pleasing! always love your videos gem :]

From one gardener to another, tomato plants need lots of sun and Google says not to water them too often, but trust your gut and watch your plant. They are each different. Also as your plant gets bigger you are going to want to take a dowel or a stick and tie your tomato plant to it to keep it upright. Tomato plants struggle to support themselves. Also be patient with yourself. Good luck! Also loving the videos!

Dear Gem, Calcium is very good (and kind of necessary) for tomato plants. My family saves eggshells that we use, toast them up in the oven, and crush them down to give to the tomatoes. If that sounds like too much work, I'm sure you can find some online. We also give them old milk that we don't want to drink in a watering can. These are just little tips to keep your plants going strong. Have fun!!!

12:50 I love how Gem said that she made it villager safe and at the same time 2 villagers jumped of the stairs and landed on the beds which protecting them from the fall demage.

For tomato advice, ask Doc! He has said he grows a huge variety of tomatoes and could be a great resource.

Hey yall basic courtesy reminder here: no seed spoilers! If you use the seed, great! But don't give coordinates for biomes/structures or "hints" for where stuff is. Some of us like the mystery :D

7:36 Grow the tomatoes with basil to keep away bugs (the basil smell is strong and they don't like it)

one of my my favorite things gem does is when she spins/circles her cursor when she enchants to see what she gets. it’s so cute :((

The crimson+ cherry wood is a super smart palette pick! Will definitely be using now :)

A tip for tomato gardens 🍅 Pick your tomato’s early or when they are still sort of green. Then let them sit on your counter to continue to ripen. This will help you get tomato’s without bugs. If you leave them outside until they get red then there is a bigger chance of bugs and rotting. 😊 hope that helped! Love your channel btw❤

Man i ADORE that lil enchanting gazebo!! The cherry logs and the crimson looks SOOO GOOD TOGETHER

I've been rewatching the first hardcore series in celebration of this new one, and I can't believe how much Gem has progressed in her Minecraft skills. Second episode and going for diamonds! There's such a difference and I'm so proud of her. As fun as it is to play slowly and enjoy that beginning game (as we all know she loves), it's really cool to see her confidence in herself grow.

I love the new series gem and it has really inspired me to build more in Minecraft ❤❤❤ Ps I love the style of building

Oh, for your tomatoes I recommend starting in a pot so you can keep an eye on them but wen they get bigger plant them in the ground and don’t water them every day. Water them every other day.

Honestly, the "starter build palette" can give an area character! It helps you remember different eras of your world's history, and gives visual contrast as you travel from place to place. I actually prefer to progress from one palette to another, maybe incorporating one or two components of the previous palette to add cohesion. It gives story to my world : )

I was very excited to share some tomato tips with you! I'm actually studying horticulture at University right now, so this is right up my alley! Tomatoes are going to need a strong trellis, try and set up wooden stakes with string (they usually sell tomato twine at hardware stores, and don't use fishing wire as it will wound the stems. Regular twine works just fine as well!) if you have multiple plants in a row - that's the best way to hold them up. You want to put your first string when the plant isn't able to hold itself up or it starts to lodge over; you want them to stand up straight and not touch the ground to avoid diseases and pests. Once they grow above the last string you placed, put another string (around every 6 inches or so). If they're heirloom tomatoes, they're going to be very vigorous and you're probably going to have to prune them back every once in a while or else they'll take over the whole garden. Heirloom tomatoes also have a tendency to have large clusters of flowers, meaning they'll produce smaller fruit really close together and makes the tomatoes rub against each other, which promotes wounding and splitting (aka not good). I would suggest keeping flower clusters to 4-5 at the maximum, cherry tomatoes and slicing tomatoes are bred to have this and you won't need to thin them out. That will make sure you get good sized tomatoes and good quality. Also, you might get sticky black gunk all over your fingers if you're working on them for a while - that's normal! It's just the pollen and it's all over the plant. Also, you can absolutely let tomatoes ripen on the vine (some people say they taste better that way) but you can also pick them off when they're still hard and green and they'll continue to ripen off the vine (this is called climacteric fruits, and it's how we get tomatoes across the country from California and bananas from South America perfectly ripe! They're usually harvested when they're rock solid and bright green). And try not to leave tomatoes on the plant when they're ripe when it's going to rain - this causes the tomatoes to split and then they're no good, and it also promotes diseases and pests (like mold, cucumber beetles, powdery mildew, etc.). Calcium is also really important for tomatoes because it helps to grow the skin of the fruit. Calcium deficiency causes blossom end rot, which is yucky and not fun. Most potting soils will have a good amount of calcium in it, but grinding eggshells and mixing them into the soil will certainly do the trick to avoid blossom end rot. Also, watch out for tomato horn worms - they can easily destroy an entire plant easily. Sorry, I kind of rambled here, I'm just a giant plant dork :) Peppers are also one of my favorite things ever so if you need tips for those, I'd be happy to share! - Hope this helps and good luck with your little garden! I could rant on and on about the cucumbers as well, but I'll save you haha. Love your videos!

Such a cool series ❤️❤️✨✨

I love hoe Gem never goes too far with anything. She never pushes anything like subscribing and makes videos in a lovely vibe. I love this channel and its content simply because of it nature, vibe, and Gem. She is so good at making videos and loves making sure all of her videos are absolutely astonishing! The first ever video I watched was from 5 years ago, I've watched every single video since. I love you Gem!!!

I love how Gem is also getting into Tomato Gardening IRL just like Doc soon she'll have Tomato Gardens all over Minecraft worlds too Also have to say my favorite block to combine with Cherry is Warped Wood the stripped logs Cyan Color looks so nice with the Pastel Pink

watching geminitay play minecraft is so satisfying 🙂
