Jen- this is just a first draft of what big tomatoes you'll be growing. I'm sure you'll have to add 30 more varieties! 😂 💕

I love it that IN JANUARY, you’re talking about TOMATOES! 🥰

Sakharnyi Zheltyi is translated as Sugary Yellow. Never heard of it before, so can't say anything about its characteristics. This year I had three varieties that easily did over 2 pounds - Anna Meyer (bicolor), Sam's Canadian (orange), and Aunt Swarlo's Polish Plum (red). Didn't hear any of these varieties in your video. I'm also planning some giants for 2024 season, but I can only trust the seller who claims them to be 2 pounds and more. These are Amana Orange, Big Rainbow, Big White-Pink Stripe, Brutus Magnum, Carol Chyco's Big Paste, Cero Blackburn, Church, Claude Brown's Yellow Giant, Costoluto Colli Euganei, Cote De Saint Andre, Cuore Antico di Acqui Terme (I had it three years ago, got 600-800 grams, but the season was not very good, hope to get bigger fruit), Dinner Plate, Eva's Amish Stripe, Geante De Hott, Giant of Siebenburgen, Gigante Farina, Goliath Red, Granny Cantrell's German Red, Homer's German Oxheart, Huge Lemon Оxheart, Janet's Jacinthe Jewel, Jsalnina cu cute, Klara, Lara's Giant, Marmande Garnier Rouge Big, Michael's Portuguese Monster, Mortgage Lifter Radiator, Mrs. Schlaubaugh's Famous Strawberry (also tried it three years ago but all four plants got blight, and I didn't see any fruit), Napa Giant, Nelson's Golden Giant, Porterhouse, Rebecca Sebastian's Bull Bag, Red Barn, Red Belly, Riccio Di Parma, Slankard's, Sumo, White Queen, Yasha Yugoslavian, Bolgarske Serdze Velyke (Big Bulgarian Heart), Bychache Serdze Vystavochne (Oxheart for Exhibition), Burzhuy (The Bourgeois) - a green variety, the only one on this list, Vid Zuraba Kunahidze (From Zurab Kunahidze) - a family heirloom from the country Georgia, it's supposed to give fruit up to 1,5 kilograms, and Rome. Maybe you'll find something interesting among these varieties for yourself.

I have never grown a 3lb tomato, but the largest I've grown while retaining excellent flavor are Italian Heirloom from Fruition Seeds (upstate New York), Aunt Ruby's German Green (UNBELIEVABLE flavor) from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds, Kellogs Breakfast also from Baker Creek, Upstate Oxheart Tomato from Hudson Valley Seed Company. Good luck with your growing this year!

Hi Jen, every year I do a special bed of 24 and give it a crazy name. Last years were all Italian heirlooms , my gangster bed. This year it’s “the year of the giants” 24 that should break a record for me. Big Zac op should help you get big. Thx again as always. Happy growing and hi Big Ben.

Ohh, its great sweet giant collection! I realy lovely.❤ Very very nice Jen! Good luck! I believe in You💪

I wrote with a lover and expert in growing large tomatoes. I said just like you. - Look, I have large varieties of tomatoes and I want to try my hand at growing them. he replied - nice, nice, you have a lot of big tomatoes..! but you need huge ones!!! I thought so, I'll try😉💪

Try looking into "Parks Whopper ". I'm growing this one this year. I discovered it at a local greenhouse that grows all of their own seedlings that they sell. Supposedly they average 1 1/2 to 2 pound tomatoes. With many going over two pounds. Parks Seed Company, are the breeders of this tomato.

I hope your giant tomato process gets its own video series.🎉🎉

Great video, my friend!!! Glad you’ll be growing my Jarson 18/3! One of the tomatoes from that plant was as big as my head! I love you. You make me smile!!!

Woohoo I'm excited you're gonna grow Bear Claw 💕 my new favorite staple in the garden , so sweet and delightful! 😋 ( Think I got my seeds from delectation of tomatoes )

Ooo!!! This is exciting! 😲 I have the Jarson 18/3 as well. Fingers crossed! 🤞

Exciting! Nice collection. Enjoyed the video.

Oh you might like the Shibly Lebanese tomato I got from my coworker. He saved seeds from a tomato he got in lebanon and brought it back to US and has been growing it for several years. He got a 3 lb 2 oz tomato from it last year.

Hey Jen, thank you for the video! I am also trying Hoy and Domingo... so exciting!! Another big one which can get over 4 lbs, is Zaczilla. Last year I tried AH Scorpii and it was loaded with 1-2 lb tomatoes. They were big and delicious.

Domingo is what grows all the current records at the moment. That's what they use to get the 10-17.15lbers. 17.15 lbs is the unofficial world record at the moment. Official world record is 11.65lbs. Have funnn!

I have a few of those in my stash, I can’t wait!

Godzilla vs King Kong. I love it! My biggest one so far is BeefMaster at 2.5 lbs. I know, it’s a hybrid, don’t hate me. I do grow mostly heirlooms though

I'm from Germany and German Gold is a very popular Tomato here many seed companys have it. But i never heard of Mammoth German Gold. Love your Videos 😊 Greetings from Germany 🍅

Hey Jen! If you try Momini szalsi and red giant, they are over 3 pounds. But the ones you choesd look good. I'm sure you'll show us great tomatoes this year.❤

Super nice varieties I'm sure they will be great 😊

Jim always put a lot of info on his packets, even with his peppers.

Nice list, Jen! I’m growing a few of those this year too. There is a variety called “Big Bill” that I purchased from Delectation of Tomatoes… there is no pic and I could not find a lot of info about it online, but it reminded me of my dad so I bought it, lol! The description says it won a 1996 NJ Championship with a 4.78 lb tomato! I was intrigued and it seems rare so I’m excited to see what it will do!😊

You got the believe it or not from me! I recognized that handwriting lol!

The biggest tomato I ever grew was a Virginia Sweets. Didn’t weigh it, but cut several slices and still had a ton left. I’m only growing 3 slicers this year so I can try a bunch of saladettes and pastes.

I grew delicious one year, and it was about twice the size of the others, and it lived up to its name.

I love your greeting. hellooo hellooo😀❤

Brandywine pink growing off 10 gallon grow bags with ample nutrients produced several "King Kong"s for me (2 pounders). I lost the first batch of fruits as I forgot to support the stem holding the fruits. The stem got ripped off the main branch. Going to try Gold Medal (Ruby Gold) from Renaissance Farm. He claimed to have fruits around 2.5 pounds.

im on that page! lol sutherland is king

I have several of these varieties I’ve been collecting for this year, but as I’m making my grow list I realize I can’t fit that many huge plants in one year or I’d have to cut overall tomatoes way back. Also, I sent you a giant as a surprise! 🤞

Looking forward to the outcome! How many will you grow of each variety?

Siberian pink honey is a pink oxheart but I regularly get 2lb tomatoes with no effort at all, I don't even prune some years

They are expensive here in the US. Each one is about 60$ USD 😊

I am still trying to get the 2 pounder! I was in a contest this year, growing Domingo and it was doing well, then they all just died. I swear! I practice High Intensity gardening. Yet I always try to grow a few tomatoes off by themselves, where they have 6sq ft each plant, just to try to get the big one. Those plants get babied. Yet, I always get my biggest tomatoes from my tomato patch where the plants are 8-12" apart. Isn't that funny? My largest so far were Mushroom Basket. But the flavor is so meh I just refuse to grow it anymore. My biggest tomato last year was a Copper River. Good luck with Goatbag. I grew it two years in a row and the maters were large roma sized and shaped! This year I am 80 varieties, 100 plants in my suburban backyard. The larger ones I am trying are Delicious, German Giant, Green Giant, Gold Medal, Hillbilly (my favorite large) and Royal Hillbilly. They get a bit more space, but not as much as Domingo would have gotten. Agree you have to watch the names. Got Goliath in a trade and then...did some research. Not a giant. Gifted the plant to a new gardener. 😃

German head can get over 3 pounds, I got one that was almost 3.4 pounds on that one a few years ago

Tomato Gigantomo

The pink Belgium giant

what is the best tasting large tomato to grow? In general an heirloom, not necessary to be giant, just best flavor for market gardening ? cause YOU are the resident EXPERT!

I'm trying MI's Giant Belgium. Claims are 1 to 5 pounds.

WV sweet meat is a great one to get you over 1-2 pounds

So we are nearing the end of June, how did your tomatoes do?

Cherokee purple

Do you have some seeds to spare?

godzilla is the same as reistomat. I never even got one at a pound,

No conjoined twins. They don't count.
