I miss summer so much too. Can't wait for next season.

Thank you!

Wow that's a lot of searching! I do a cherry tomato video every year and grow different varieties every year too. You may be interested in seeing some of my other cherry tomato videos. :)

Those are very popular. I think I grew them once a long time ago. I should grow them again.

Thanks. They're finally starting to do pretty well. Now if only the bigger ones would ripen so I can make some tomato sauce. :)

Those are good ones too!

yeah it's a good one and pretty prolific. It wins the prettiest award!

I'll do a separate video on my big tomatoes once they all ripen, if they ever do. There's at least one that I'm skeptical about ripening but I think the others will make it.

Yes, that is likely.

That's a lot of tomatoes. Were all 22 cherry tomatoes? I missed sungold this year but maybe I'll grow again next year.

Gapeys Grub no, Paul Robeson,(3plants) black krim(3plants) black from Tula(3 plants)azoychka, tommy toe, tiny tim, sun gold (3plants), San Marzano, white cherry, genovese costaluta(2plants) and a red pear whose name escapes me right now 😂and a volunteer cherry from last year. Tomatoes 🍅 galore!

@@SalongirlGardens Nice, those are all great varieties. black from tula is the only one I haven't grown.

Have you tried Sun Sugar? I like it slightly better than Sungolds, but they're both good.

@@gardentips1249 oooh no! I’ll have to look for seeds.

It's a beaut isn't it? So is the midnight pear. Too bad that pear splits so easy.

Thanks 👍

Thanks for the info. I will have to hunt for the salad tomato version :)

@@gapey I ordered some seeds for the coming season in a very little webshop (probably private run as they do not show/report trade-taxes, only companies have to in GER), which also happens to sell both types (Cherry one sold out). I got nothing to do with it, but can report that i got everything I ordered (+1 extra variety as gift) labeled and packaged properly; furthermore I cannot say anything yet. If interested, search for "tomatenjunkie" and the german-domain ending "de" and "slash" "varietyname" (hier ö as oe) ... international shipping fee is 2.20€. Sorry for the mess but i didnt want to post a direkt ink 😎

I didn't buy that one. I got it in a seed swap.

you buy them directly from a seed company instead of getting them from seed swaps. :)

@@gapey 😂

They are pretty sweet. The tomatoes are very firm and meaty or maybe they just weren't ripe enough? I'll try letting some stay on longer and see if they get any softer. I'm hoping to do a brix test on some of these to see just how sweet they are.

Yeah seems like I grew a lot of hybrids last year that I got from seed swaps. not sure the people I got them from were aware they were hybrids or not. I usually don't grow hybrids unless they're from a seed company but I felt adventurous last year I guess. :)

@@gapey the thing with hybrids is that u do get better yeilds in my opinion. I actually had two different ikras one was a hybrid one was an heirloom and the hybrid produced much earlier that any of the others

I am not sure I understand your question about putting stems on my tomato plants. I don't put stems on them. I use about 2ft spacing between all my tomatoes as that is the closest I can fit the Texas Tomato cages that I use.

@@gapey Hi, I mean like suckers, do you prune your cherry tomato plants? I have heard many recommend to prune to 1 leader, (main stem)

@@williamqwamdaayyyyyyy5074 oh yes I do prune the suckers. Maybe not to 1 leader though. I will usually do 2 main leaders. If it's a dwarf or determinate variety I will not prune as much.

Thanks. No. I've never grown tomatoes in grow bags.

Totally agree! Cherry tomatoes should be bite sized.

No, it's not mealy at all.

@@gapey And I really like Sun Golds (not growing them), but you prefer Barry's. What are the reasons for that other than how prolific? I have potted space for only one tomato plant, and the one I'm growing now is sweet but not producing well in a pot. I've tried twice now. In-ground is great, but in a pot gives very few small tomatoes.

@@jennifereverett6298 I've never tried growing them in a container. They taste sweeter to me than even sungolds and they are a beautiful yellow color. They are also pretty crack resistant and age pretty well after picking.

@@gapey Thank you greatly! I'm currently growing Super Sweet 100s which are very crack resistant, never mealy, and always sweet even if eaten before fully ripe. The flavor is nice but not as complex as with Sun Gold and savory tomatoes.

Sorry! I'm not very good at describing tastes. :p
