Hi Dave! It would be fun to see his garden too, especially the irises, and hear his travel stories! I like that you added a rating system :)

You’ve gotta do a final video of “best in class” overview haha! Good stuff, really enjoying your content

You did an Awesome demonstration & sampling of the tomatoes... I haven't heard of half of those Tomatoes! 🍅 Good job mark! 👍

Heck yes this is the one I've been waiting for.

Keep the videos coming, Mark! You will be rewarded for the work! Kudos to the camera person, too!

It's just a crime that this channel doesn't have 250k+ subscribers. Keep plugging Mark. Your fan base is small but rabid.

Thank you guys for these tasting videos!! It really does make it so much nicer/better/easier to make a seed list for next year. Thank you for all your hard work and the willingness to share it.

Hello from SOUTH Jersey Mark! So happy that Dave joined you! Loving these tomato videos! They are definitely helping me chose which tomato varieties to try for next year’s garden!!!! Keep these Videos coming! LOVE IT!

Love this and those accents, I could listen to y’all say “water” all day - also, Holly is a queen!

The infamous Dave. 😍 Great video guys SunPeach, ISIS Candy added to my list. Dying laughing while Mark is tracking down Holly, Dave continues on - Well, in the meantime. 😍 Loving this series Thank you guys

These are the best taste test video's I have ever seen and I have watched a ton.. Love the detail and bringing your friend on. I am going to try some new varieties. Thank you for the details of the cards and rating systems and showing the fruit and plants. I've watched more than once. I hope you do it every year!

Enjoyed the video as usual . Thanks for introducing us to new varieties . Can't wait to try them.

Glad Dave could make it! I agree with Dave - you're making us all hungry watching all of this tomato testing. Thanks for another fantastic video, Mark, they just get better and better. And I always find myself smiling by the end! And I'm with Dave on the sea salt and butter on the corn! LOL.

Loving the tomato videos!! What a treat.🍅❤️🤩😍🌱🌈👍🏼♥️💚

I loved that you had the taste test with Dave. You guys rock! I grew the sun gold and sun sugar side by side and for me the sun gold is sweet with acid and the sun sugar is twice as sweet with no acid. I found the sun sugar a bit too sweet for my taste. This year I'm trialing 5 varieties of sauce tomatoes. 6 plants each in a small garden. The first one was a dud and I pulled the plants and filled 2 wheel borrows up. The second variety "Piennolo Del Vesuvio Tomato" put on the crop rapidly and I made tomato sauce and spaghetti sauce this morning . It was all you could dream of for a sauce tomato. I still have 3 others including the Jersey Devil to test out and compare but they are all slower in production so I'm having to freeze the ripe tomatoes waiting for enough to cook up. 2 thumbs up on this video. Very enjoyable. Dogs are such opportunists. Holly knew when your attentions were occupied and went about being a notty dog with joy in her heart. lol Even though my garden space is confined to a small lot that the house is on I grew quite a few varieties of tomatoes and had 74 tomato plants. I remove the ones that don't make the cut and make way for other veg to grow. Here is my 2021 list of varieties. Berkeley Tie-Dye Green Tomato (no) Aunt Ruby's German Green Tomato (No) Large Barred Boar Tomato (Maybe) Bush Early Girl Hybrid VFFNT Tomato (No) Bush Early Boy Tomato(No) Black Krim Tomato Black Brandywine Tomato Cherokee Purple Tomato Carbon Tomato Mortgage Lifter Tomato Pineapple Tomato La Roma Sauce Tomato San Marzano Tomato Jersey Devil Tomato Japanese Trifele Black Tomato (no) Piennolo Del Vesuvio Tomato (Yes) Purple Bumble Bee Cherry Tomato Pink Bumble Bee Cherry Tomato Black Zebra Cherry Tomato (NO) Sweetheart Cherry Tomato Sun Gold Tomato SunSugar Tomato Hyb. Super Sweet 100 Orange Hat Tomato (Micro) (No) Micro Tom Tomato (No)

i ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE TOMATO TASTE TEST VIDEO'S. I grow many of these varieties but it also gives me some new ideas.

thank you for the comparison. i have grown many of these and i agree. i have not grown the top 2. really appreciate this. it does take some time to grow these and figure out what is good.

your channel is now my no.1 gardening channel

This is quite a serious set up! 😍 Love it!

Another good video Mark, thanks. I'm surprised to not see any midnight snackers or Berry's crazy cherry.

Finally getting to this video. Thought your Sungolds weren't ripe enough. At least compared to what I've grown. Good stuff though, so much I've never seen! Thank you!

Big fan of your tasting vids. I watched this last year and wanted to let you know that based on your recc, I will be growing Sunpeach. Can't wait to try it! I tried Isis Candy and yuck, sorry lol. Maybe it's not best suited for clayish prairie. Glad to see Blush on the table, Artisan Seeds are amazing. Anything Agi, Tiger or Lucky is gonna be delicious! Rosella is my favorite cherry tomato and all the Fred Hempel's fall in line for the rest of the top five. Happy Gardening Mark!

I enjoyed having your friend there. Nice for a second opinion.

Such a beautiful garden .

Five star grape is the best tomato I have ever tasted. Plant is bountiful too. Amazing amount of tomatoes from one plant. Great video!!

I think I might try sun peach tomatoes, as a hydroponic. Wish you well, love your videos!

I was pleasantly surprised by sunpeach, citrine, and cherry bomb this year from Johnny's after growing some disappointing hybrid cherries in the past. Some heavy hitters there in your taste trial. Keep up the good work.

It's nice that you introduced the person you referred to many times. Dave and myself have the middle energy storage issue going on. As such, unfortunately tomatoes are one of those foods that have an inflammatory effect on my knee arthritis, along with being overwieght (which I don't suffer from either anymore). I'm not sure which really helped the most, as I also eliminated sugar and all grain intake. I'm kinda afraid to start adding stuff back, but tomatoes are a weakness of mine that I might try to add back in a BLT on a lettuce bun!

Taking a break from the heat and backyard construction! 🥵 Perfect timing to watch the taste test! YOU GOT DAVE!! 🥳. A huge thank you to Dave for sharing his time and opinions with us! Yes, Dave, absolutely making us hungry 😋 Love the ranking system. Super helpful. Tomato olympics here lol. I’ve added Blush, Green Grape, Isis Candy, and SunPeach and Sun Sugar to my list of potentials for next year. 🤓 📝 Is corn the next up for the taste test?? The munching and crunching lol. Reminds me of the cartoon crows eating it typewriter style. Holly shenanigans again! 😂 What a silly girl knowing how to get all eyes on her. No matter what, she brings such a joy to my heart. The cuke pick is priceless!! 🥰 Beautiful outtro! Just lovely with the music and the scenes. Thank you, Mark for another fabulous video!

Years ago my grandmother grew tomatoes that were yellow and pear shaped. They were so good. Haven’t seen those in years. Great video

Isis Candy cracked for me, too, but man are they good! I agree with Dave that they're worth growing even with the cracking.

Mark...you're the best. I cried when you introduced Dave, because of your caring and thoughtfulness. You are definitely 👍❤ at the top of my youtube family. Thank you

Great video! Would love to see Dave's garden too

Fantastic comparison! It is good to see Dave. :)

Ding Dong .... What a great video.Good afternoon Mark,well Holly dose it again lol little tinker 😒 your in trouble Holly.But seriously top notch video, well deserved 👏👏👏👏All the very best 🌱🌱🌱💕🇬🇧

Awesome video once again!!

Down here in Texas, we have the Texas Wild or Matt's Wild tomato. I believe it was originally found in Mexico growing wild. Very small, the size of a penny, but sweet as candy when ripe. Great flavor. Produces clusters of fruit, similar to grapes, and lots of them. One plant can produce hundreds. One aspect I love is that it continues to produce all summer here, even when temps hit in the 90's. It can get massive.

It’s nice to finally meet Dave!

I’ve had a wild crossing from a wild Galapagos cherry tomato with what I believe was brandywine some years ago from seed I saved of plants grown together. Since then all the subsequent generations have been quite variable, so it’s a true surprise . They tend to be bigger than the Galapagos, having it’s intense acidity, but some times they have the complex sweet flavor of brandywine. Color also has also wavered from pinkish to red. They do however tend to crack a lot, a Galapagos characteristic. Of course since I don’t have a large enough garden to plant several plants and stabilize the hybrid into a new variety, I’ve just considered it a fun game. Each year also plant other varieties, so who knows what it hasn’t picked up by now.

Great series Mark!! Well done!! You have to get one of those silver plated wine tasters spittoon with your Nurseries Initials engraved on it!! LOL Be sure to stay away from those river sirens alas you get turned into a frog!?!? (O Brother, Where Art Thou, George Clooney) LOL

SUGARY & SUNSUGAR are the only two i have had and love them!

Blush and sun gold are also my favorites, last year I tried tomato berry and really liked that one in the reds but this year my reds are Juliet and Rapunzel, both are awesome for different reasons and Juliet was hard to find seeds

Fred Hempel tomatoes are always a winner. Blush is his creation. I also recommend try his Agi Red as well both Lucky and Pink Tiger. Not affiliated with him, I am just a huge fan of his mater work. Was looking forward to this video, did not disappoint! Oh yeah, I found some Buttergold corn seeds on sale so planted that. I eat it straight from picking too. SO SWEET and crunchy!

this is the one i was looking forward to.

My pesky 100 lb. garden rat destroys my propagation/cutting trays in my nursery too. But, she's still lovable.

I've never seen most of these tomatoes before. I know I've said it already, it's a blessing to you be able to see the different varieties and just hear the description makes me want to try them. Omg, finally Dave. It's great that Dave was able to come do some taste test as well. Good to put a face to a name, so the next time you talk about Dave I'll know who you are referring to. When you have all that experience it's just the right thing to share it with others. That's what Dave has done. Thanks much for both your honest opinions about these tomatoes. Lol I try to eat a popsicle everytime you are tasting something so I don't feel hungry 😅 . That Maryland humidity is showing in your face Mark...... I'm happy we are getting this rain right now, too humid for me.

You making me crave a tomato and cheese grilled sandwich 🥪

Wow that was worth watching! I couldn't figure out really what was the x factor that made you guys like sunpeach better than sungold or sun sugar. This is my first year with sungold and I am addicted. My five star grape is tasty but splits like crazy. I end up harvesting at blush to avoid it. Holly, that little stinker. 😍 adorbs with the corn! I'm going to have to try your top two next year! Can't wait to see Dave's garden! Nobody is going to judge him on a few weeds:)

I'm growing Coyote yellow pea size tomato for the first time and I LOVE IT ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

More garden candies. They look tasty

You can't lock Holly out of your garden. That would be a KZfaq no no. People love their dogs. Going to try SunPeach next year.

I'm growing Coyote yellow pea size tomato for the first time and I LOVE them 5 Star

I like this taste test better than the others because it gives 2 opinions. People have a little difference in taste.

Oh I wish that it got hot enough here in northern Vermont to get summer tomatoes. any summer visitors fro points south I always ask to bring peaches and tomatoes.

Dave would like spoon currant ...theyre super sweet . def my top 10 .

Oh my gosh, I feel so spoiled with all these tasting videos in one week! Can't finish this video right now, but wanted to make sure to comment to help you ratings and also to let you guys know you are such hoot together!!!! I'll post more later when I am able to finish it.

Love your videos! I found your channel this year. Sugar Rush is also a great snacking tomato, sweet and a big producer. A bigger unique tomato is Grandmas Best. Not a lot of juice, and almost softer, but a really good flavor.

Wow! I love cherry tomatoes. Ive grown several in the Philippines and UAE. I have not tried these. I only tried micro dwarves which can fit in my very small spaces. I hope to to grown these here someday.

I first tried the "cherry tomatoes" last year and was under the impression they only produce for but a very limited season but I am now more interesting in a few more.typts. We enjoy a Honey Gold Hybrid and Brad's Atomic grape tomatoe Wishing you posted where I can buy seeds for my garden

Last week we made an incredible roasted tomato sauce from a mix of small Green Zebra and Early Girls from the local farmer’s market here in the SF Bay Area. It turned out incredible…slightly tangy compared with the standard San Marzano’s which is our standard annual sauce. Definitely worth trying different varieties occasionally. Thanks Mark for pointing out so many varieties to try.

Thank you

Hi Mark! Well what a video i really love and enjoyed looking at all those cherry tomatoes, i grew a couple myself last summer and tehey where very juicy and sweet, i can't remember the type they where but i'm looking forward to growing them this year. Good idea for the rating system and since you love the Isis candy and the Sun peach i would love to try them out if i can get my hands on them. It was great that you had someone with you that way you can compare. The corn you had looks so delicious and so beautiful, it is the best thing ever to eat what you grow, so fresh and more tasty. And OH BOY 😳 Holly what did she do, i hope the damage wasn't too bad, maybe you should put some gates up so she doesn't get in and rip you're crops up, lol Holly. Mark i wish i could visit you're farm i would just lay on the grass and enjoy everything you got in there 😌 Thank you i really love and enjoyed this video and Congratulation again you've hit 7k subscribers that's awesome, i'm very happy for you 😃🥳

Hi Mark - I’m a new subbie- when is the best time to plant hydrangeas & roses ? Thanks, your awesome 👏🏻

Think you could do a vid on watermelons? Very nice work. Found your channel and subscribed. Always looking for great info on how to be even a better gardener. Rock on!

Enjoy your tomato videos. Find that sun gold splits and sun sugar doesn’t also.

Hey Mark! Thanks for this series of tomato videos! I've been experimenting with different kinds each year (this year I have Brandywines, Yellow, Mountain Prides, Early Girls, and Sweet 100s). Do you use hay for mulch? I've been trying to get a good bedding for the plants.

Can you do this for your peppers. I love these type of videos

I got Five Star (from GRIERS!!!) and Sun Sugar per your rec. I love how the Give Star grows. It's got these little strong little vines that grow out. I'm trying to grow it as a single vine up a 8 ft rebar and it got to the top 2-3 weeks ago. Now I'm just letting it wild out....mostly. Love Sun Sugar too! Everyone likes that one. If you let them sit on the vine for awhile they get super deep orange. EDIT: I got super sweet million or whatever too! That one makes a ton of tomatoes! I didn't do it single vine tho..Just let it go in a cage.

Mark, when you decide to do merch, make sure it features GOOD graphic design. Call up a designer friend or something.

I am looking forward to next year so I can grow some of your recommendations. Where do you buy your tomato cages? They look very sturdy. Great videos. Thanks.

There is also sunrise bumblebee which is the same as blush just round breed by same seed breeder

Dude yessss

I brought a pack of “ sunrise bumble bee “ cherry tomato’s. lol every tomato plant has different tomato’s . It’ was a sample packet I guess 😂. There all tasty , so I may save seeds.

After watching several videos with dogs in your garden area, I was thinking don't those dogs ever bother with the plants/produce? Because, mine sure have! I have 2 fences around my little space, and they are still determined to get in there. I think they associate me harvesting/eating, and think they can do it too. Anyhow, nice video.

Good Tomato I support your channel thank you for sharing video Please stay connected thank you

More Dave !

Holly sure does like getting attention!

Any suggestions where to buy the seeds for these that stay true to consistency.. Never started garden tomatoes from seed before but want to try next season.. Thanks from Long Island..

We call em "maters" downt cheer in North Cacklacky.....LOL.

Enjoying the taste test.. Don't be too hard on Holly she wanted to participate in the tasting test too

I’m new to you channel. Would like to know where to buy seeds. Thanks

There is also sunchoco

I need to be your neighbor to get garden tips off of plus good eye candy ;p .. just kidding.. can you describe taste in terms of foods we are familiar with.. like this one taste like a grape, this one like a cucumber, etc. what’s smoky mean?? Like charcoal??? Or dirt like?

I don’t like sweet tomatoes, I like them to be sour. Which tomatoes are sour to grow?

I’m currently drowning in tiny yellow currant tomatoes.

im just here for the arms
