Great presentation. This year I’m growing 6 beefsteak heirlooms and 8 heirloom cherries. A rainbow of colors and a spectrum of flavors. For the first time I’m growing seeds of a large paste tomato. A friend gave me seeds. It was brought from Italy by relatives inn1912. Unnamed but large meaty and sweet. My new favorite

So glad to see you have multiple stalks on your plants for more production instead of single stem. Good job on pruning your lower leaves to prevent blight. That German Green is one of my favorite as well! You made me want to try orange jazz and Terra Cotta. I was underwhelmed by Brad's atomic for flavor, they were lacking for me. But beautiful enough to grow again. I love Baker Creek and Heirloom Tomatoes are my favorite. Great video!

@brandonminiman 3 жыл бұрын

You have such an epic garden. My favorite heirloom tomatoes are Black Krim and Cherokee Purple. They're lovely and I grow them each year. Also... To get maximum flavor from your heirlooms, give them a sprinkle of kosher salt before you eat then. Really elevates the flavor.

This woman has one of the best speaking voices I have ever heard. She could be talking about paint drying for a hour and I would listen. She could do audio books, voice over, on hold messages etc...... Her energy and laughter is also awesome. Kept me interested and Im gonna try that orange jazz. Could be a motivational speaker or grief consoling. If my pet dies, this is who id want to tell me.

Your vines are so healthy! I still can’t get over how well they do outside and how prolific they are. I’m trying to grow an heirloom cherry tomato this year, I had four plants, but the weather has just been so unpredictable that they’re only two feet tall (they should be at least four or five). Few flowers; hoping to get a dozen fruits 🤞

I had the different colors with my two Brads Atomic grape tomato plants this year. One plant had the fun golds, reds and purples and the other plant just changed to a lighter green when ripe. I have to say that I didn't care for the thick skin on them. The flavor was decent.

Second attempt at heirlooms this year. From seed, in a tomato. Had to pull four plants that caught a virus or fungus or bacteria or some damn thing. But it was worth it. The survivors' fruit are Beautiful and Tasty and BIG.
