You are the best tomato reviewer I have found yet... Most people just do not know how to describe flavors or other qualities... " I really like this one" doesn't tell us anything... Your use of the words, Umami, peppery, sweet, savory, etc. really go a long way to help us determine if we would like the tomato or not.. Without those descriptors, we don't have a clue about how they taste. So thank you for your videos!!

First time planting determinate tomatoes this year. Planted black sea man, nebraska wedding and wisconsin chief. Went in the ground as seed last weekend, mid june. Zone 6b. I think I'm good to get a harvest before frost.

That’s great! Yes I anticipate you’ll get a late September or early October harvest which is still great!

Thanks again. I love the reactions during the taste test. Everything from showing the tomatoes on the vine, the productivity or lack there of and the good, bad and sometimes ugly of the sample. Trying to describe what you are sampling by flavor profile, texture (mouth feel) etc is very challenging. You've given me a couple to add to my ever expanding future grow list for my limited space garden. Happy New Year to you and everyone else here.

Great review, thanks. I’ve been growing Black Sea man for 5 years and it’s a favorite. Does well in coastal WA despite cool nights. I really appreciate that you cut to each plant and show on the vine! Few taste testers do that.

I am glad you enjoyed the review! I just picked my first Black Sea man yesterday for this season and can’t wait to eat it. I like to show how it grows on the vine to give viewers an experience of the whole growing cycle.

I'm trying the Trip L Crop for the first time in 2023 and I'm even more excited after seeing your review. The Black Seaman's are really good. My plant died in late in mid-August but I still got quite a few. The tomato that I tried for the first time this past year that blew me away was the Brandywine Pink. Tasted great fresh and in BLT's. They also made the best tomato soup I have ever had in my life.

Hi Shane! Thanks for watching the review and your comment. Super appreciated! Trip L Crop is excellent for taste and production. I hope you love it. Pink brandywine is a variety many people recommend to me as well. I think I will have to give it a try this year!

Agree on the Black Sea Man and I definitely need to grow more of these since they're determinate. I'm growing more hybrids this year to see if I can get more production going and of course all the Heirlooms I've come to love. I think you may enjoy Maglia Rosa - it's grape sized and semi determinate.

I am in South Florida so I am in the middle of my tomato growing season and I am now thrilled that I am growing Black Sea Man for the first time. I have heard wonderful things about it and your review was the icing on the cake. (Have you ever grown Blondekopfchen? I think you might like it more than Barry's Crazy Cherry. I have grown both and definitely prefer Blondekopfchen. Crazy amount of super delicious little yellow tomatoes on trusses just like Barry's.)

Black krim favorite if I only had one type or one plant I'm liking the Black Brandywine as my favorite for sandwiches I don't normally like just a tomato to it by itself but Thornbury Terracotta is the only one I ever ate and did eat several and delicious but on a overcooked steak burgers off the grill it's unbelievable a juicy sandwich after the Terracotta added Thanks We got your pink bumble bee on order and we will test it on our circle of friends and family

I know you're not a big fan of green but I think you should at least try Green Zebra. It's got a zippy flavor, tangy... it was surprisingly one of my favorites last year. Not prolific for me for some reason. I would get a ton of blooms and then nothing would happen. I tried to pollinate them as best as I could, too. We also had ridiculous record heat. Bad tomato year. The flavor was worth it, though! This year I'm going to try Aunt Ruby's... I've heard it's so good.

Hi Alexa. Lovely to see you and your tomatoes. I appreciate your more complex descriptions.

Hi. after seeing your review of green zebra tomatoes it turns out the ones you tried were a different type to the ones I was thinking of.(I don't actually know the real name). But the ones I liked were cherry tomatoes and slightly pointed and much darker than yours .searched Green zebra cherry and found some more similar to the ones iv grown.👍

Black seaman was my rock star this past summer for me. Definitely a heavy producer n pretty much pest free and that's unheard of in my zone 7b with the humidity. I wish I loved the flavor it was just basic but I used it with a lot of different meals but I'm a sucker for black Krim when it comes to the dark tomatoes

Maybe do a blind tasting on a few different ones and see if your impressions are the same. I say this because Green Giant is one of tomato guru Craig Lehoullier's 5 or so favorite tomatoes, and he's pretty much tasted them all. I just wonder if you'd taste it differently blind since we eat so much with our eyes.

I’ve lived in Ohio my whole life! I do like it here. There is a wide variety of terrain - cities, to forests, giant glacial rocks, rivers, lakes, farm land, and everything in between. Lots of secret gems! Summer is very nice, winters can be cold. There are plenty of places that don’t have zoning either where you can plop a trailer or camper.
