It's the moment I've been waiting for all year.... TOMATO TASTING! And now that they're coming in droves, it's time to decide which varieties will stay for next year and which will go! Growing 62 varieties of tomato plants may seem a bit excessive; however, I LOVE experimenting with new varieties and flavors and seeing which varieties do well in our climate and which don't. I love cooking and canning with a variety of tomatoes because I feel like I get a more robust flavor burst then when I only use one or two varieties.
So.... all of this to say, every year I try to fine-tune my tomato garden to my specific kitchen goals and needs. And I'm looking forward to SHARING MY TASTING (& testing) results with you!!
IN THIS VIDEO:
✅ I'm reviewing all the varieties of tomatoes I grew this year and why I grew them
✅ I'm revealing how each of those varieties did as far as harvesting and growth
✅ I'm taste-testing several new varieties on camera (some were good and some were BAD!)
✅ I'm sharing my TRIED & TRUE VARIETIES!

Enjoyed your video, I usually plant 30 plants with 15 different varieties, but always looking for new ones, getting ready to start seeds in a few weeks

So hard to narrow down the varieties!! This year I'm trying some new ones which I'm really excited about. I'll be talking about those varieties in March or April (can't remember my seed starting date for tomatoes off hand.)

My tomatoes came back on their own from seed in spring on their own a hundred plants strong!

Yes, volunteer tomatoes can be quite robust! I always find them around the garden.

Landon, Enjoyed your video! Your daughter is precious! I'm just curious how you fertilized your tomatoes. I'm big into bone meal, azomite, powdered eggshells, bagged chicken manure, and Trifecta. Trifecta is from MI Gardener, who you may know about. Just want to see if you're doing anything differently to add to my repertoire! Thanks Landon! John McHatton, California

Hello! Yes, I'm familiar with Trifecta, just haven't tried it yet. I'm really pretty basic when it comes to "fertilizer". These days, I just let my chickens free range on the garden once the season is over. They scrape around, eating any greens left over, devouring hidden insects, and manuring (i.e. fertilizing). I try to get them off a few months before I start to plant. After that, I wheelbarrow in and spread out my compost, composted leaves from our property, or composted wood chips that were dropped off earlier in the season. I cover that up with tarps until I'm ready to plant. I've used bone meal in the past, but don't really find that I need it with this system. I've also used fish emulsion, but I'd have to buy a whole heck of a lot with this size garden! So, I stick to bringing in my compost and spreading it around before I plant. Hope that helps!
