It's kind of weird that I just spent 42 minutes watching people talk about tomatoes. Nah! It was awesome! Love it! Thanks for all the effort you put into your videos!

Awww, Holly girl never cease to amaze me..... star of the show

I love these tomato tasting videos, especially now that you are doing them with friends! This will really help me decide what to grow next year. :)

Me watching these videos: I will not buy more seeds, then places an order.

Thanks to Carrie for joining you and Dave. It's always a pleasure to have Dave sharing his opinions. I'm always grateful to you Mark for taking the time to share these videos about the produce you have in your garden. I try planting beefsteak but it didn't work, the bugs crop them down before they had a chance to stretch up, not sure how the beefsteak would taste. Just a variety that came in my seed kit. Lovely variety

This is one of those videos I never knew that I needed, but I’m so happy it exists. Thank you for this style of video! I now have a wide selection of tomatoes I can plant.

Awesome tasting! My head is spinning with what tomatoes I want to plant next season. This was great! Thanks again Mark. Stephen Ps. Virginia Sweets is a definite!

It’s going to take me 10 seasons to grow all the varieties I have on my list! I’m here for moral support now lol. Good to see Dave and Carrie too! Saved this video for future reference 🤓 Thank you so much, Mark, for making this series! Many blessings to you all. 🙌🏻🙏🏻💞

Dave must love the soft crab.

Infamous Dave returns 🥰 welcome to the fam Carrie. 🙌 Mark, this is a great series... love it ❤ Anna's Noire, Virginia Sweets on my list

Amazing! Now I want to grow all these tomatoes in my garden.

No 1s yet, no supermarket tomato yet! Funny! Enjoyed the video.

Wow, love learning of new varieties! I'm definitely planting a Curtis Cheek next year, since my last name is Curtis! Lol I planted a celebrity and a cherry this year, not disappointed at all! Great video Mark, thank you!

You just simply amaze me Mark! 🍅🍅

What? Omg I can't wait to watch this in detail and comment. Right now I've got work to do. I love it when you bring friends!

Wow! Brought back memories of having a large garden, canning, making elderberry + gooseberry + currant jams. canning plums, pears, tomatoes, making sauerkraut in the fall, making mincemeat out of the green tomatoes after the frost, trading picking apples for 20 bushels of apples. Having a fruit cellar filled with apples, green tomatoes, potatoes, carrots etc. for the wintertime. We just preferred eating our stuff because nothing tasted better.

Thanks Mark! Between this and the other taste testing videos, I have ordered 5 different varieties of seeds for next year.

Reds are best for BLTs but others put a smile in my brain. Thank you 3 for the showing.

great again. I've never seen the Virginia Sweets but I have grown Old German's and loved them.

I loved watching this and absorbing all of your descriptors as I just cannot get a summer tomato here in Vermont where this morning it was 44 degrees.

What fun!! What do I have to do to get in a tomato tasting video? lol 😝

Just like a Super bowl of great tomatoes 🙂, Truly hard to not want to look for a new favorite. Thank you Mark your many videos have improved my garden and looking forward to next season. Please keep teaching us,Sir

Another great tasting video. I’ll be looking for Virginia sweets and Curtis cheek as well as the 1923 Abe Lincoln next year. Thanks for all the great info.

Great video and very informative. Its making me hungry cos they all look yummy. lol

Mark! This is the one I was waiting for. I have never grown anything but true red tomatoes. After this video, I’ll be placing orders for more of the bi-color varieties. That “Ananas Noire” looked so good! Awesome job!👊🏾😁

Ahh Carrie! Our local Agriculture Celeb!!! She doesn't know me but I saw her at VVFs and i told her she needed to start her own channel lol. Love Dave too! Like seeing him in the videos!! Great video again!!!

Awesome contenr2, by the end i was craving tomatos

great video every one!, the back row was just beautiful ...yeah i would like to see a ring of mixed colors on a plate...you know like your 4 or 5 favorites mixed....beautiful casual/country presentation Mark....

Loved it….Ananias noire is a favorite….Good job!

The Curtis Cheek tomato is AMAZING. And the story of the tomato is so damn neat. Love that more people like it! Green tomatoes kick butt. Aunt Ruby Green and Cherokee Green are delicious. I tried the Isis Candy again...spit it out. Hubby loves it so a palate thing. Dinner tomorrow is BLT using the first Hillbilly tomato harvested today. It's a fat stunner, so excited. LOVED this video! I will def be ordering seeds for Virginia Sweets (if I can find them) and the Ananas Noir. Thanks again!

I just discovered your videos yesterday Mark...really pleased I did. I’ve already been binging on them. Chockablock full of great information...and your really cute.

This was the best video yet. Everyone has a different option. I think this is more helpful. The Celebrity that I grew were very beautiful and productive. They were definitely camera ready but the flavor was bland. I like Better Boy. Nothing beats it for disease resistance and productivity. It has a very thick skin. I use it for bruschetta so I quarter it, cook it in the microwave and peel the skin away. I wouldn't use it as a slicer with skin on, very chewy.

I sure would like to taste Marks tomatoes!! Great videos Mark !! Greetings from Stuttgart Germany

Another winner!!

I'm so glad you decided to do the tastings with your friends (can I take a little credit here?😄) . It really helps hearing different opinions and in trying to decide what to order for next year.

Dixie Red is Florida 91 but better. Very very heat tolerant. I like oregon spring or siletz over early girl, independent day is a good alternative but smaller tomatoes. New girl is more vigorous over early girl. Another great video. I love these tasting videos.

I've never eaten tomatoes but good lord I sure could learn to love them 🔥

Mark absolutely love these tomato tasting videos. Homegrown tomatoes are what summer is about. You have described several that I must try for next year. Are these varieties sold at your nursery or did you order most from seed catalogs? I noticed your number of subscribers is now nearly 10,000- congratulations!!

Very educational video. Thanks!!

I love these videos! I also really like that you did hybrid and open pollinated to compare.

Dr Wyche is one of my favorite! Gotta try!

Liked this

I appreciate these videos I am going to buy a few of these you shown. ❤️

Great series! Where all do you get your seed? Some of these varieties were not on johnnys or seed savers.

Hi Mark! Well i have to say this was so great all the tomatoes in the 4 part series was amazing, well done Mark for the success, and it is so good that you got 2 other's with you for there input. How many more weeks do you have left with the tomatoes? And have you saved seed's for next year? Look's like Holly was better behaved this time round lol. You're about to hit 10k congratulations Mark! Looking forward to the rest of the season that you have left. Well the weather here is really starting to warm up as we have been having temperature's in the high 60's and low 70's and this weekend will be a warm one again. So far my peach tree is starting to bloom so is the avocado and the fig tree is leafing up. Thank you as always for you're video's and look forward to the next :) Best Gabriel

Friggin excellent buddy. We grow in the winter. Green giant, Pink Brandywine, Mortgage Lifter. Home depot does not know that. Southwest Florida.

What would you think of a cooking segment of some of your fresh produce? Nothing extravagant but how to incorporate what you have grown into a fresh & delicious meal?

This was even better than the others with 3 different opinions. I wish I could join the taste test and enjoy some of y’all’s cooler weather. Today was probably a record day here for our coolest aug 18th. It was amazing being in the low 80s and finally getting some rain. My pecan orchard and pond really needed it. Rain here in August is very unusual. I’m trying y’all’s favorite tomatoes.

Thanks again Mark

Love your bread knife for tomatoes! There's a couple "tomato knives" available online. I have the cheap Rada tomato knife. It's about $7 for one but works amazing. It's probably not a good video knife tho because its' so small. But Wusthof makes two different tomato knives (one is the pro line and is the regular knives). Those look pretty cool!

Ok Mark, going back through your tasting vids to give credit. I already preach the gospel of Curtis Cheek, it's my favorite red, up there with Carbon and Royal Hillbilly. Thanks to your videos, I will be trying Ananas Noire, Green Giant and Virginia Sweets this year. I got SOCLOSE to my first two pounder last year. This year I am growing Goatbag to get that big one. Wish me luck! Thank you for your content.

Ok. Abe Lincoln, the noire one and Virginia sweet on the list for next year. I tested Rutgers, mortgage lifter, delicious and sub arctic. Delicious was the best.

Good evening Mark,wow this was another fabulous video,lm saving all of the tomato ones so l can have a real good look at them...to much noise and things going on around me at the moment Grrrr 😒 l see your getting a LOT of new subscribers and very well deserved 👏👏👏 your coming across on video very nicely.I see Holly went walk abouts lol 😆 and never came back when you called her...she wouldn't be far away.....would she!! 😳 Big thankyou to your friends too......just wondering how tall Dave is! If you 6ft ish he must be close to 7ft lol what a tall gentleman he is.Been a busy day at the allotment today,cleaning up and making compost and the weather has been very kind.All the very best Mark 🌱🌱🌱💕🇬🇧uk

Just like a fruit, sweet and juicy.

Awesome Tomato Tasting and Reviews.. Have you ever tried growing Cosmonaut Volkov?

Green tomatoes are also very good sliced, lightly floured and fried them 😋

With all the varieties of tomato seeds I have purchased, these videos help me to decode which ones to grow/try! (Because I certainly dont have room for them all! 😂)

Very informative vide Mark. I'm intrigued by you top faves here. Where did you source your Curtis Cheek seeds?

Great video. Virginia Sweets is on my list for next year along with Abe Lincoln. Where do you get your seeds especially Abe Lincoln as I grew them last year and they were small? Thanks.

Where do you source 1923 Abe Lincoln seeds as they all look different from different companies?

Wild Boar farms has exotic toms. You probably already know that. Just found you on utube.

Hey Mark, I just found your channel and am enjoying it. I live down in North Anne Arundel County. I've been trying to grow container tomatoes, but haven't had much luck with Home Depot varieties. I just tried Better Boy and it is dying faster than it's producing. Would you have any advice? I'm also using the City Pickers self watering containers.

Are you gonna do Chef's Choice Green next year?

Your garden I so beautiful and crisp clean lines which I love. I'm curious what you do with all your produce? Do you sell it? I love tomatoes but there is no way you can eat that many. 😋 I have grew a few different varieties this year and have loved earning about more varieties. Thanks

How did early girl beat celebrity? No way. The celebrity I’m growing this year is much better than the early girl I grew last year. Much better flavor period. But that’s just me. I wanna fined tomato’s that tased like what my father grew. Lol , I have a whole lot of searching!

Hey Mark...what breeds of chickens do you have???? in Indiana gardening and chickens go hand in hand...all our veg waste went to the chickens!!! an old lady that worked with mom used bantams in her gardens to weed and loosen soil and keep it aerated ......be good to yourself.

Had to sub after that! Where can we get seeds??

Here in Kansas and my celebrity tomatoes are at 6 feet right now 😳 and my jet star are 5 feet.

OK ordering Ananas noir, green giant, and maybe virginia sweets, but I have seed for gold medal. Are they about the same? Seriously Mark, you have to try Thorburns Terra Cotta. Four out of four of us who are sampling a ton of garden tomatoes this year say it is the best tomato we've ever had. It is like a complex cherokee purple. But that might not be too descriptive. Complex and spicey. It's also pretty. If I can get seeds for Curtis Cheek I will. I guess they are hard to get. I tried Pink Berkeley tie dye this year and it is just a good tomato. I can't figure what the hype is about that one besides it is pretty. But i possibly needed to let it ripen another day or two. I'll give it another chance. I feel the same way you do about blue berries, that is my garden's most beautiful disappointment 😞.

I have a tomato notebook too

I dont know what better boy tastes like. Because I prefer the better tomato out of the 2. Which would be the big boy.

Down in coastal SC I tried to grow two types of tomatoes. Well mid april to mid may I got a lot of cherry tomatoes. Then the heat and humidity kicked in and my plants didn't do well.

I LOVE Carrie! Does she have a channel on KZfaq?

What is Dave's favorite sweet smoky tomato? Everyone here likes the sugary stuff.

tomato growers seeds has Gold medal seeds available

Looking online at some of your top choices, the photos shown at companies selling seeds, show tomatoes that look NOTHING alike. One might show a tomato with deep ridges on the top but the next company shows a tomato with a smooth even top surface. Gives one pause for thought!

I don't know better boy

This is the best gardener I have seen. Very sexy!))

I love the taste test videos. Don't hate me but I prefer when you do them without guests. They seem more focused. For some reason I see that garden as your peaceful man cave. This is too much yap yap going on in the cave. Sorry!

It's kind of weird that I just spent 42 minutes watching people talk about tomatoes. Nah! It was awesome! Love it! Thanks for all the effort you put into your videos!

Just found your channel and I’m already loving it. I’m a Carolina farm girl, and tomatoes are my jam! I love them. I’m bout to go back and watch the others from this series, I love finding and growing new yummy varieties. 🍅😎
