Great video Gary. Love that you made one on tomato varieties you'd keep vs ones you wont grow anymore. I think that's one of the most valuable things we gardeners can learn as each year passes. I also had several tomato plants that self seeded from last year and came up this year. Some of them I pulled up but some of them I left be and they are doing very well. I also live in Maryland in Howard County and 2 varieties of red cherry tomatoes I have had great luck with are Super 100 and Midnight Snack. You have to try Midnight Snack next year Gary. It's not only an absolutely beautiful looking tomato because of its little splotch of black/purple over the red, but it also has one of the most unique tastes out of any tomato I've ever had. Another cherry tomato variety you have to try is Sun Sugar. I grew Sun Gold and Sun Sugar this year intentionally to see which one I liked better and finally did a side by side taste test and I thought Sun Sugar was better. Sun Gold is very very good dont get me wrong. And both are good producers too. You should definitely try the Sun Sugar if you can find it. Another pepper variety I tried this year for the first time that I would 100% grow again next year is called the Lunchbox Orange. You also should try that one too next year! All of the tomatoes and pepper I just listed are all very very good when its comes to disease resistance too. I didnt spray any of my plants at all with anything this year...just made sure to water them basically every day and used miracle grow tomato food fertilizer about once a week. They all did fantastic.

This summer's harvest has been bountiful thanks to you Gary. My pepper garden never has done so well. My pepper plants are 4 feet plus high, with plenty of peppers. So what have I learned this year over other years? Three major improvements. Everybody can use them. You taught me this: 1. The importance of knowing your local weather (beyond frost dates ). Can't stress this enough. Weather Spark and US climate data for your area. I printed out my town and got it month by month with average temps for each day of the month. Lot of printing but worth it if you want to plan when to plant. 2. Organic gardening done right. There are lots of web sites about it. Many give bad advise. You are not one of them. Adding the right organic material to your soil works ! That's why my peppers have done so well. Preparing the soil ahead of time is the key. Compost, peat moss, worm castings etc. Set up your garden for success. 3. A well planned watering/ fertilizing / spraying schedule prevents a lot of problems from happening. Keep to the schedule. Water more in hot temps. The rest keep to the schedule. If any problems do arise. Use a stronger type of spray. You have many videos on this topic. I have learned more than this from your channel, but these are my top three keys learned for success. After that, the 4. topic would be know your plant varieties. If you have done all three well and some plants just don't work maybe its time to try a different variety for next season. Thanks Gary, take care.

@@sharonwright66 Chocolate habanero, Red habanero, Jalapenos, Chilitipins-- all turned into bushes, peppadews were the tallest. And Spanish Galia peppers. All tall. I took so many pictures of the Pepper "Jungle". But you have to remember I live in Central Florida. So that was a big reason. Also our soil is so sandy and poor in Florida, So all my gardening is raised bed gardening.

I'm in Maryland too. I grow celebrities, early girls, beefmaster and sweet 100's. The celebrity always has the least amount of problems. The beefmasters seem to have the most fungus problems like blight but are one of my favorites. I wish I knew of a big tomato that taste as good but are easier to grow. Always learning something. Good video thanks for continuing to do them.

Your videos are always so timely. Was just starting to do this kind of review in my head ( for the first time 🤦🏽♀️). I grew 7 varieties this year, 4 of which are keepers. Two of my favorite new finds are Napa Grape and Black Pearl cherry. Both prolific and extremely tasty. I’m also going to keep Big Boy and Amish Paste. Next year I’ll also add back in Sweetie cherry… even though it tends to split they are delicious and keep coming. PS- I planted your SantaFe and Anaheim peppers. They are doing well and are perfect tasting!

Hi Gary, thanks so much for all your great tomato videos. I live in the Portland, OR area and grew 45 varieties, was surprised how healthy my plants have been with virtually no disease, I may have grown some of them too close together because I got lots of leaves but not a lot of fruit on some of them, I didn't prune them either so that might be a why. We also had a fairly cool and wet June and then alot of heat that fried some of the early flowers which also may be the reason. Some varieties have produced really well, red and yellow pear are prolific. Most of my big ones are not ready to pick yet but am very excited that they are almost ready. Love going out to my garden very morning and harvesting the ones that are ripe. I sincerely appreciate your help in this first endeavor. Only wish I had more land! My dog run is the only sunny spot in my garden that I can grow in but it has worked well and the dogs have left the plants alone fortunately.

Very good advice. Each person can make their decision in the place where they are and what they need and want from their plants. Every single time I grow, I grow SuperSweet 100s. They have never disappointed me! I did learn that when a storm is forecast, I go out and pick every ripe or near-ripe tomato before the storm. This way I don't wind up with splits, and the flavor is excellent, not bland from too much water. I have seeds for many different varieties that I was going to do this year, but health problems got in the way, so now I'll have to wait til next year. It will be fun learning first hand what the different varieties will do, taking notes, and deciding on keepers. Anything I keep will have to taste delicious (to me), and be hardy and productive. I think that's what most of us want. It's great to see on your videos the considerations and decision making process. Thanks for the effort you put into the garden and the videos!

great video! Gary, I am in TX with tons of heat and disease (so growing tomatoes is a big challenge) and the plant that did the BEST for me as far as disease and production this year is the Tommy Toe tomato. Since you are looking for a good red cherry I thought I would recommend it. They are also beautiful and look like grocery store red cherry tomatoes. The only cherries that actually produce still in my 100+ weather are the sungold (and they are small), but for a red cherry I highly recommend the Tommy Toe... it is finally showing a little bit of damage but nothing at all like my others.

Most of my tomatoes were total failures this year. Even the Romas. Some sort of black specks all over the fruit-I had to bag those and take them to the dump. Tried a Belarusian tomato that was attacked by something. Good to hear your assessment of Cherokee Purple. I had Black Krim fail too, very similar. I’m going to try a different location. I’m in NE Tenn, only a bit further south from you. I had great results with the hybrid Red Racer last year but couldn’t find the seeds this year. Already have them ordered for next year. It’s been a tough year in general….

This video is GOLD. I'm such a fan of Black Krim. It's my first year growing it and production is not stellar. Such an odd weather year in the PNW 6b however, so may not be the best for long-term decisions. I'll give it another go before ditching. So far no pests or disease anywhere. Heirlooms Delicious and Rutgers have been extremely successful for me as well as a classic Roma and a Burpee Longkeeper. Brandywine not as much but I'm captivated. Slightly cooler weather is on the way so I'm still hopeful!

Cherokee purple didn't do well for us at all. It was actually the first tomato plant that got wilt and died but we don't spray our plants. We compared 80 different tomato varieties this year and picked out the top 10 for the southern heat! I wonder if some of them would do well for you too! I'm definitely going to add the Arkansas Traveler to my list of must try! Our volunteer was also the best plant this year! It's really great to see when others have a similar experience even in different zones so you know it will likely work for others! Black Krim really thrived for us in the heat but we used shade cloth this year! I really feel it made all the difference. Thank you so much for sharing your experience!

We didn't spray this year because we didn't have to. Iowa Zone 5a, hot dry summer, no fungus, few insects. I believe in growing what the locals grow before exploring new varieties. For us it was Big Boys bought at a fund raiser for a singing group. The Big Boys have been so successful that it's hard to justify using the garden space for anything else. Even with one variety there's still room for experimentation. One row was dutifully trimmed for single stem growth. The other row was allowed to bush out into multiple leaders. The bushy row won the productivity contest in both size and number hands down. Could be the extra leaves shielded the flowers from the heat. Could be there's a threshold of leaf growth the plant needs to trigger production. But it certainly went against all the guidance I've seen about growing indeterminants. Foliage was so dense I couldn't tell whether or not there were any tomatoes until the tomatoes ripened and the lower leaves began to fall. I will explore other varieties, just in case, and also, just for fun. But I'm here to tell you, the Big Boys are a big success here. It doesn't sound very exciting to grow something everybody else grows, but man they taste good, and they make a good size tomato.

The Vols quickly caught up with the store-bought and were just as productive. As for bushing out, I kept the thick vines that branched out from the base of the plant. Keeping them off the ground was a problem, but man they were loaded with tomatoes. I consider the thick vines as the tomato's way of telling me how it wanted to grow...

Gary, here's one for you: last year I grew the same 5 variety of toms. Celebrity, Park Whopper, Fantastic, Black Krim and SunGold cherry. It was a great year with a tremendous harvest. The plants grew to near 60". This season I did everything the same way as last year-- same soil mixture, ferts, peat moss, home made and bagged compost, etc. Same pots (#10 black). I use those red wire cages for support. This year they are all about 6 or 7" above the tops of the cages. I'm just now starting to see a bit of ripening and the fruits are not much bigger than golf balls. The cherry toms are doing the best of all. In spite of doses of calcium nitrate this year, I'm still seeing a certain number of BER fruits. The weather has been very warm again this year as well. I guess I won't mind smaller toms-- they look good in salads, but a few for a hamberger would have been nice. I like these varieties and will grow them again next year, if possible. BTW, we got no hail storms this season in our immediate area. Thanks, and any comments, my friend ?? Cheers, Bob in SW MT.

It's readily available, but what the heck, it is one of the more disease-resistent hybrids, and it tastes great! Quite a bit of seeds, but who's complaining? A few suggestions: Try Jet Star. Living Traditions Homestead recommended it, and I have been super impressed. It's a hybrid, but tastes like an heirloom. Low acidity. Good disease resistance. My favorite red cherry is Sweet Million. Hybrid. So delicious! I think moderate disease resistance.

I also gave up on Cherokee purple. I mostly grew them for my neighbor anyway as she can't tolerate a real acidic tomato but I like more acidic ones and it just didn't produce. Have grown twice but not going forward. I love celebrity and mostly grow those. I have Homestead tomato seeds but my seedlings didn't make it for some reason. Will try again next Spring. I didn't grow Early Girls this year but do also like them. I mostly try to grow determinate or semi determinate varieties due to lack of space. The indeterminates are such more work and I'm 70 now and look for easy care and productive.

I have to foot-stomp growing what you like - AND - what grows well for you. Tomato-wise, I grow mainly for flavor and versatility (sandwich and/or sauce). Last year, I tried 15 different varieties and learned I do not like the "green" tomatoes. This year - I scaled down to 8 varieties. All in all, Park's Whopper remains my go-to; it's a hybrid that tolerates the Midwest temperature swings from 40's in mid-May to 110 heat index in June, July and August. It produces medium size fruit (but can get over a lb) that reminds me of the Mortgage Lifter or Brandywine when fully ripe. Brandywines and Mortgage Lifter do well for me - and I love their flavor on a sandwich or in a sauce. I prune pretty heavily though - to mitigate disease. Next year, I am scaling down to a half dozen varieties - but 2-3 plants per. IN short, "if it don't make you happy, kick it out" .. right? :)

Interesting review. I grew over 25 heirlooms and really didn’t like any. Too much core and cracking, but we did have severe drought and a late freak frost. I did install irrigation around July which was wonderful. So I really didn’t care for Black Krim because it didn’t keep well and cracking. Lol, it could be that my brain likes tomatoes to be red, but I didn’t care for the texture and flavor of many of the varieties this year in my garden. I will try a couple again now we have irrigation and plant out well after May Z5a, WI. A few years back we tried Arkansas Travelers and they don’t like single leader pruning here and needed more shade. I remember an oxheart I bought at our market in 2012 and it did excellent in that drought and we didn’t stake it or prune and it was fantastic. I just expect on August 1st that the lower leaves start to yellow. Another thing I noticed is there are different Mortgage Lifter varieties and maybe you could try that as ours were huge. It really is trial and error for each individual garden. I will try more hybrids next year with some other new to me heirlooms as I really want to find the perfect to save seed from.

Looks like by mid season you get the diseases too... oddly enough I gave some of my plants to a friend who has little gardening experience and none of his got any disease, in fact he's been bringing me tomatoes all season since a ground hog moved into my yard and put a hurting on my garden. The heat up here in NJ has been rough, usually we have more than we can eat or even give away but this year very low production. Supersweet 100 and Sungold are two cherries we really enjoy, also "early treat hybrid" which I think only Home Depot sells also is very resistant to disease and produces all season long. Never had luck with San Marzano or plums, always got BER and never ripened properly. Thanks for the review on what works for you.

We typically grow only German Johnson and have great success up here in zone 6a. I tend to prune heavily in mid to late June such that there is no growth for the first 18"-24" inches by mid July and then I don't see any diseases nor fungal issues until mid September. This year the excessive heat did affect flower production for three or so weeks but we still got 3-4 pounds per plant through that stretch even with all the pruning. This is typically where we see that pay off as the plants are now 7 feet tall or so and very bushy and flowering up in the canopy with at least 6 or so mid sized (for German Johnsons) green tomatoes all queued up on each vine and far more small baby tomatoes appearing over the last week. By first week of October I will usually have harvested 20ish pounds per vine and then use a tall ladder to harvest another 10-15 pounds (in total across all the plants) from way up at the top which will ripen in the windows after that. I like German Johnsons for my zone. They tend to do well assuming it doesn't rain too often during the summer.

One of my faves is Gold Medal- a yellow beefsteak. Big Rainbow was slow to start, smaller plants but happy enough with them. One of my big disappointments, also new this year was Roma! Issues with blossom end rot. Didn't do well at all in containers; doing pretty good despite crowded in a kiddie pool garden. I do prune routinely, but don't spray much. Disease doesn't seem to be a problem for me, except the melons. I think they got fusarium wilt (honeydew & canary). The Sugar Baby plants seemed to resist it tho. Have a great day!

This has been a really heartbreaking gardening year here in south central Montana….Cold, late spring-my so-called Early Girl finally blossomed this week. Pests (everything from leafhoppers to deer) are ravenous. Then the multiple days of scorching heat. And a hailstorm that completely shredded almost everything that survived all the other challenges! My Celebrity, Supersweet 100, and San Marzanos are the only ones producing more than a few fruits per plant. So I guess if they can survive all that, they are keepers!!! In the past few years I gave up on Black Krim, Cherokee Purples, and (regular) Brandywines because their tomato to nuisance ratios were unfavorable. I tried out a Glacier this year and it was loaded with fruit until the hail…I didn’t get a chance to taste a properly ripened one, so I don’t know if it’s a keeper or not. Good luck to all my fellow gardeners!!!!

My beef steak did poorly last year, but this year it has many more fruit. The Brandywine did not do well either year... one big one, one medium, and 4 very small this time. Not worth it. My main focus on tomatoes is in San Marzano to make sauces and tomato jam. Last year they were prolific. This year they ripen much smaller and not as much fruit, yet. I had them coveted, so it was not blossom drop. Talking to other gardeners, many of us are experiencing the same issues in our area. Lots of slow or stunted growth, or no fruit on some plants, but others are thriving. It's mind boggling.

What a difference 50 miles makes. Mortgage Lifter is one of my keepers in Northern Virginia; it's been so productive that I've been slicing up at least one each day for sandwiches at lunch, Caprese salad for dinner, and core/score/freezing for canning -- as well as regularly taking tomatoes to coworkers and neighbors from 3 plants. I put it in a head-to-head "which will I keep?" battle against Big Rainbow (previous favorite), but it completely lost the fight against Mortgage Lifter in my garden. I'm streamlining my garden next year to just Mortgage Lifter (for slicers), Amish Paste (for sauces/canning), Rutgers (Hub's alma mater), and Sweet Cherry (for snackers).

Cherokee Purple and Black Krim have never been consistent producers for me either. Tomatoes developed or naturalized for heat and humidity tend to do best in my area (Texarkana, TX - far NE Texas). The purple/black tomato I have the most success with is Indian Stripe. I believe it was developed in Southern Arkansas, about 90 miles from where I live. Many believe it is a naturalized cultivar of Cherokee Purple. It is more prolific, has slightly smaller fruits, and outlasts the Cherokee Purple in my area. Seems more disease-resistant, too. The plants I had this year set fruit when the temperatures were in the low to mid-90s.

I also like Pink Brandywine, Rutgers and Chef's Choice Pink. Next year I will be adding 2 more early season, Oregon Spring and Legend. Have you tried these early varieties? They flower and set fruit before the hot temps arrive. Thanks Gary!

Although we don't have quite as long a season as you do in Maryland (I'm in the Niagara area of Ontario 6a or b), we do get wicked hot, humid weather that causes many varieties to abort their flowers. My favourite tomatoes that seem to withstand the heat and keep right on producing through the whole summer include: Feuerwerk (easily the top of my list: best tasting of all, productive through the heat right to frost, disease resistant, and reliable year after year), Paul Robeson, and the oxheart types like Hungarian Heart and Jefferson's Giant. I love Brandywine Pink (Sudduth's strain) so much that I grow it each year anyway despite it not being productive in the heat. This year, I tried Big Brandy and Chef's Choice Pink as hybrid replacements for the true Brandywine Pink but they are meh in comparison so I won't grow them again. The first year I grew Cherokee Purple, I purchased the plant at a local nursery and it was a great performer and very tasty. I've never had success with it since, either through plants I started by seed or plants I've purchased from the same nursery. Perhaps that first year, it was something else entirely and mislabelled. I wish I had saved seed from it! I also tried Sun Sugar cherry this year after so many gardeners in the internet world recommended it. It's a split resistant version of the popular Sun Gold. Good performer and yes, it's tasty but I find that the tomatoes and foliage smell a bit funny though, unlike other tomatoes. When I put the tomatoes up to my mouth, I get that funny smell again which is a little off-putting until I bite the tomato and the sweetness explodes in my mouth. Juries still out on that one.

Great video, Gary! QUESTION: At. 8:58 you were talking about 3 more tomatoes on another plant, but on the cattle panel in the background was a group of red cherry tomatoes. The stems had long died but there were so many of them, I have to ask---what variety was that? I have never had that kind of proudction with cherries.

I get issues when I get greedy and try to let more than 2 stalks grow up a stake. I think next year I'm going to do 2 vines per plant but space them out more with their own stakes. If that works good, then I'll try 3 vines per hole/space. I also noticed the 3 vine ones were super thirsty and needed more nutrients. I'm going to ditch the ones that are prone to cracking and deform a lot.

Helpful vid. I love some of the classic heirlooms but their performance for me is poor enough that it doesn't make much sense to give them a space. My best performer for Maine has been Mushroom Basket, available from Baker Creek. Wide size range, nice production, vigorous, healthy.

We’re not far from you on a small community garden plot and everything but one pink Brandywine has been decimated with fusarium 😭 The Marzanos were doing so well (no BER - we fertilize with Texas Tomato Food and that stuff is magic), and then over the course of 7-10 days the plant went from thriving to completely dead. It’s heartbreaking!

Hi Gary, Thanks for all the to-the-point tips and info. It's really been easy and fun to learn from your channel. Looking at all those tall varieties of plants you've got there, it's further prompted me to ask a quick question which I've heard conflicting answers to: If you were to 'top' the main steam of an indeterminate tomato plant which of the following would happen: Would the plant firstly stop growing taller and then only concentrate on ripening its _current_ fruit, without producing new leaves/suckers/flowers, _or_, would the plant stop growing taller but then continue producing new suckers/flowers/fruits at the sides? I've heard 'yes' to both these actions. Thank you again so much for the excellent and informative videos. Its a pleasure watching and learning!!✌

It would just be taken over by a production stem also know as a sucker. Its a vine and it doesnt care if its topped as it producing new ones all the time at the stem and flower joint. Cheers.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN Ah, gotcha. I wasn't thinking about it in that way... Right, so the plant would divert attention to suckers elsewhere and continue sprawling all over the place.

Yeah, Typically tomatoes sprawl and the vines root into the ground. All the 'suckers' become their own main vine that way. Thanks for the book support.

I had an Early Girl that grew into a monster, over 7 feet tall, and produced over 60 tomatoes. The tomatoes are good for salads, but not preserving. My Beef steak didn't produce a lot of tomatoes, but made up for it in size. The Bonny's Best had a good overall tomato, but they had a lot of cracking. I have Roma and Dad's Sunset Tomatoes growing and expect tomatoes near the end of September. I'll have to wait until the end of the season to judge them. I have Arkansas Traveler, and Homestead on my list to try next year, as well as a couple cherry tomatoes. I'm still experimenting to see what grows well in Central Alabama, and what I like. Eggplant is pretty much off my list. I like the flavor, but production was not up to par. I can get better production with summer and winter squash. Next year, I am going to grow more potatoes in March, then again in June, so I will be harvesting more, less often.

That's interesting that you don't like the Early Girl for preserving. Last summer, I bought 2 bushels from a farmer's market vendor and I love canning with them. Now, they are pretty juicy but I like to can homemade V8 juice so don't mind the juice.

@@DeborahBrown-tj7wx I generally water bath tomatoes in pint size jars. Each jar holds about one pound of tomatoes. I can do that with a single beef steak tomato, and they have a sweeter flavor. Early Girl tomatoes have more juice and seed pulp, so you loose a lot of bulk while processing them, so it ends up taking about a dozen tomatoes for a single jar-more work, and time, for less product. I don't juice my tomatoes. If I did, it would be a simple matter to put them in a juicer, and preserve the juice, either by freezing it, refrigerating it, or canning it for later use. Then it would make sense.
