I need an intervention I grew 32 different varieties 🤣, wife says no chickens but I am working on that

You really impress me with your ability to remember how they all tasted, lol. I did some sloppy taste test videos. I got beautiful, big slicers, Green Giant, Giant Belgium Pink, Millionaire, Classic Beefsteak, big , beautiful Cherokee Purples and others, but my two favorites for flavor, two years in a row, are Classic Beefsteak from Baker Creek and Amish Paste I bought somewhere and saved seeds from. They both grew big, were meaty, delicious and tasted like the rim of a glass dipped in sugar. I loved their flavor. Generally, I love sweet, pink slicers, but these were more red and just so tasty. Green Giant is good, also sweet, but somewhat milder. Have fun. You make great videos. Don't know how you do it all. I'm 68 and been gardening 50 years, but only got into growing so many varieties in recent years.

Me too on the seed saving. If you cage your plants put the labels on the top of the cage. That has worked well for me. Keep your videos coming I enjoy them.

Green giant is beautiful and big. Sweet and pretty tasty.

The Thornburn's Terra-Cotta blew every other tomato away in our E TN zone 7a garden last year. It was our 1st time growing that one. We were pleasantly surprised at the wonderful fresh eating and tomato sandwich flavor. We do grow Borage and Marigolds with our tomatoes. Some say the Borage makes a difference in tomato flavor. We grew more than 150 tomato plants and so many different types trying to pare down which ones were "have to grow" varieties for us. The Terra-Cotta is top on the slicer list. This year I am adding different flavors of Basil to the tomato garden. Even though this is the year of the pepper trials in our garden, with watching this video I think I will order the Pink Tie Dye and try it as a new-to-us this year. Thanks for sharing.

I hope to see some taste test videos on these! You are growing just about every tomato I want to plant. Thank you for posting a great video!

The Black Beauty also tastes good. We really enjoyed that one also. Seems folks either like the Blue Berry or think it tastes "different." Maybe I'll give that one a place next year. Great vidoe! Very informative. Thanks.

Definitely want to hear about your pepper varieties. We're concentrating on peppers for sauces, meat rubs, cooking and snacks this year. We're new to most peppers.

Unfortunately I only have a tiny balcony, but we have relatives who have bigger gardens, so I'm growing tomatoes for them 😊 I think I'm at 30-35 varieties 😂🙈 I love how obsessed you're with tomatoes too, and also, you're beautiful, I'm so amazed by your hair as someone with completely straight hair 😍😍

Very happy with the video. It needs to tie up 6 months down the roard with a taste video as you understand... 🙂

I really enjoyed seeing all the varieties you will be growing and your insight. Looking forward to seeing videos of the season!

OMG so many variations of tomatoes I just want to grow them all and some I've never seen or heard of before. Thanks.

This is my first time coming by one of your videos and I feel we are cut from the same shade cloth! Lol. I love Jess, Brad Gates and aaaallllll the tomatoes!!!!! So happy to have found you. ☺️

Great show.... All the Lucid gem tomato pictures are always the yellow with dark colored shoulders but the Lucid gem will turn a pale red on the bottom, the flavor is way way better then... The pictures of the Lucid gem online throws everybody off of getting them at the right time... The black seaman tomato is a semi-determinate but it will keep growing until end of the season if pruned to one or two tops, it is a very sweet dark tomato, one of the absolute best... I have tried many heirlooms or open pollinated over the years... Looking forward to future videos from ya....

lol...made it to the end. wonderful!

I only watched til the end cause I judge people on their taste in tomatoes. 🤷🏽‍♂️🤣 Also, you're not hard to look at, but I was looking for my fingernail clippers most of the video anyway. 🤦🏽‍♂️ Btw, you passed the tomato taste test. I can't wait to see how you grow THAT many tomatoes and support them. The most I've ever grown here in Texas is probably 30 and...NEVER AGAIN! Maybe if I can get this Bermuda grass under control. 🤔

Check out these cherry tomatoes. Mark liked Sun Peach better than Sun Gold, etc. This guy is amazing. Hands down, the most successful tomato grower on KZfaq! I've watched thousands of KZfaq gardening videos and he is one of my favorites. I learned how to graft tomatoes from Midwest Gardener. I grew a bunch of different varieties the last two years from seed. Had 200 plants in the ground. Too many to tend to. Plain ole grape tomatoes, (probably a hybrid) produced the best and had the best flavor. I had current, which were a giant mess, falling over everywhere, growing out of control. Not that tasty. Had chocolate cherry, black cherry, brads atomic grape, isis candy, napa chardonnay blush, sun versions I forgot names of, blueberry, etc. And didn't care for any of them. A good flavored red cherry and these grape cherries are the only ones I've liked. But, because of Mark's videos, I want to try Sun Peach. His slicers I want to try, are Curtis Cheek and Virginia Sweet. You might try Caspian Pink sometime, too. I got seeds from a man, this year, who grows thousands of tomatoes and they were for Cowlick Brandywine. He said he found it to be the best of all Brandywines. See Mark's videos for the best practices and varieties. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lb6BjNudytreZ5c.html

Gold medal is one my favorites.

Watching in 2023 but you're delightful and just wanted to say! It's funny you mention about selling all the fun heirlooms but nobody is buying because they want the boring, generic types that Home Depot sells. I tried to sell one year my extras in my small village and had the exact same experience and it honestly wasn't a fun experience.

I'm always growing stuff because it's pretty. I don't even like tomatoes. I realized it's store bought tomatoes I don't like. Set out this year to find me some that I would. I'm having a blast trying all these new tomato varieties

Love it

Chardonnay cherry tomatoes are my favorites

Try one called white beauty. Big fruit, more of cream colour than brilliant white. Worth a try. 👍

Thank you for this video. it's nice to have insight into the tomatoes that I am growing and I might want to grow next year. can you put a link to the label maker and the wraps you were talking about? thanks

You know, they make an open pollinated variety of the Sun Gold called Sun Gold Select... I have not tried it yet but it's supposed to be indistinguishable from Sun Gold.

All my tomatoes got mixed up this year so I have to try and figure it out when they mature. 😮 I'm gonna try and do better next year.

I grew the pink Thia last year. The production was incredible, and the egg-shaped tomatoes were beautiful so you will probably be impressed...but the flavor was very bland. Thank you for the great video.

If you like to can sauce and salsa, you might change your mind about saladette size tomatoes and grow Baker Creek's German Lunchbox. It was my earliest producer and biggest producer. They are mild and sweet, not my fave for fresh eating, but they really add a delicious, sweet flavor to sauce and salsa. My tags disappeared, also. I think birds or raccoons stole them.

Myona is a paste. I grew it last year in a trial and wasn't impressed!

hi 안녕하세요 반갑습니다. 저는 대한민국의 이길재라고합니다.

I agree Cherokee purple and black krim are over rated!

Good God what a beautiful girl :)

Mark's Garden Life has the most gorgeous tomatoes and way more varieties than Jess, etc, check out his several taste testing videos. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qNWGmMtk0c6cmnU.html

Old pack..... And then you said 2019!! This is not old at all. You can keep tomato seeds easily 10 years.

Mark's Garden Life likes Vurginia Sweet and that Anais Noir. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZqeXfdOnz9jefas.html

Gateway drugs Perhaps if the dope talk quites down this country might " grow " and get healthy together. I'm looking for experience with tomatoes and could be shopping myself. I was hoping for advice from experience.
