Tim’s Taste of Paradise…was Wild Boar farms new release for this year. They taste similar to Sungold but no where near the splitting problem, so its a keeper. Cherokee Purple is our favorite but was not up to normal standards this year. Japanese Black Trifele is a don’t bother tasteless Tom. Brad’s Atomic Grape was an amazing producer, but definitely a learning curve on knowing when it’s ripe. Totally doing them again. I bought some heirloom tomatoes from the farmers market to taste….nothing knocked it out of the park. Glad for your opinion on honeycomb as it is a love or just ok for many.
Awesome Robin, really appreciate you taking the time to let us know. Definitely wanna try Tim's and we bought Cherokee seeds already !! We had the sane experience at the farmers market, seems to be more about the Name, than the actual taste these days!! Stay Awesome and Cheers 🌱🤞👍🤜🤛👍
Jason is still in love with the Marbonnes - he's already taken cuttings to over winter them. Lol - the seeds are expensive, but I've never figure out how much it costs to grow them all winter. I'm not sure it's cheaper, but it is fun to have tomatoes plants growing at Christmas. Also, as I've watched your latest videos, I realized Jason loves watching your channel because you're always building the soil, building the soil, new beds, refreshing beds. It's so soothing. Cheers, Colleen
We loved the Black Cherry tomatoes and they were incredible producers (and tasters). We also grow the Sweet 100's. The German Pink won't get grown again. We'd go with the Black Cherry, Sweet 100 and a couple sauce tomatoes. Great year end review!!
We might try the black cherry again. The ones we are getting at the end of the season were pretty good. We might have some Sweet 100 seeds somewhere. We have so many seeds! Our project soon is to look through them and see if we are happy with what we have. Cheers, Colleen
Wow!! That is some impressive tomato poundage!! A+++ for saying worm CASTING tea throughout this video!! 🤜🤛 I'm so impressed with the difference between using the WC tea versus not! I had not heard of very many of those varieties so I need to up my tomato game to get some great tasting ones!! Super awesome video J&C!!!🪱🪱🪱
Thanks Patrick - I thought really hard about it the whole time lol - Those test results really call for another, bigger test next year. We're definitely going to do that! And for sure - try some new tomatoes!! Yummmmm Cheers, Colleen (and Jason)
Good morning, Colleen and Jason, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b It always depends! I'm glad you both enjoyed your productive season in Mom's Garden. I was thrilled when I got 40 pounds of cherry tomatoes last year. But 337 pounds!!!! Call Progresso and back up the truck🍅 🚚 🍅 You guys really got a huge harvest of vegetables in a few months. Amazing and awesome 👌 ❤Peggy❤
That's awsome Peggy and you have two tomato seasons!! We definitely were surprised by the growth coming from Canada!! Have an awesome week!! Cheers J&C 🌱🤞👍😊🇺🇸
Hello Colleen and Jason! I admire your results! Excellent tomato harvest. As I understand it, the main taster is the mother. I liked the Lincoln variety, of course I love red cherry tomatoes. Happiness and prosperity to you! Say hi to mom😀🍅👍🌱🌈🐦💐
Enjoyed the all the information about your tomatoes. I was surprised by the weight of the tomato at the end of the video. Wow! A two pound tomato. Thank you for sharing. ❤
I think it all had to do with the worm casting tea, Patricia. It made such a big difference. And of course, the amazing weather. That really helped too! Hope you're having a good week! Cheers, Colleen
Awesome review, Colleen. 2lbs for the Abe Lincoln--incredible! I am just loving your cattle panels for growing tomatoes. We've had so much wind this summer that having staked tomatoes became a pain. Your chocolate pearl might have had stink bug damage--it can mimic blossom end rot but you'll find piercing holes elsewhere on the tomato. I had it on my chocolate stripes the last few weeks since their arrival. Have a great week and thanks for your videos!
Wow Val - you really know your bugs lol. You may be right about that - it was weird it didn't go anywhere else, but Jason was all over those tomatoes picking things off. There are so many great things about those cattle panels. Yes, if the tomato was in the wrong place, they got dented. But I feel like the sturdiness, the ability to pick them easily, the height of the fence - it's all worth it. Hope you have a good week, too! Cheers, Colleen
I'm soo envious. 😍 It looks like tomato heaven to me. The cold and wet summer here made all my plants get blight and I had to throw most of my precious tomatoes away. Sad sad moment... But I'm happy for you of course! 💚 Would love to taste that sauce. 🤤 Allt the best! ✌️🇸🇪
Ahhh crap Anna, that sucks !! When I saw those zucchini plants destroyed overnight by vine borer, it was kinda the same for me. We're "right around the corner" lol, you're welcome anytime :)))) Cheers J&C 🌱🤞👍🤜🤛
We hung metallic tape in our cherry tree and blueberry bushes to discourage birds. You can also do it with old CDs. I think that would be a temporary fix for your bird situation until the rest of your awesome tomato crop ripens! ~ Sandra
Thanks Sandra !! That's an awesome idea but I'm so tempted to do nothing and see lol !! Maybe try it on some and not on others !! Hope you guys are great Cheers J&C 🌱🤞👍😊🇨🇦🇺🇸
@@clivesconundrumgarden Unfortunately, I cannot eat tomatoes. They spark an attack of arthritis for me. Back in the day I ate them, not anymore if I want to walk. Enjoy.
Don't feel bad, Tom. We've been eating them and they are terrible. TERRIBLE. You wouldn't like them! Colleen *also currently eating homemade tomato soup
How lovely to be able to grow so many different varieties and taste test them. I have grown black cherry before and I found them very bland, I know other people love them but I found them rather watery. I also grew Pink German this year and I loved them, I will grow them again as they seemed to hold out against blight for most of the season and I thought they tasted great, only one or two fruits per plant but one fruit would last a good 3-4 meals, loved it. I'm a bit sad tomato season is over 😒 Take care😊
We're having a beautiful fall but things will change soon. It's amazing how much different climates and year to year change the results. Very likely that things that didn't do very this year will do well if the weather is different!! Cheers J&C 🌱🤞👍😊
Gorgeous tomatoes! I've thought about growing the Abe Lincoln, now I definitely think I'll add it to next year's garden! And those other two ( damsel & madame ) sound like good ones too! And I would 10000000% choose shade cloth too!!
In this heat shade cloth definitely helped a ton !! You live the Abes !! Aside from worm casting tea we used COF (4-6-2) at planting:) Have a great week Rebecca:))) Cheers J&C 🌱🤞👍😊🇺🇸
@@clivesconundrumgarden sweet! Thanks. I'll have to look around for those seeds! It's funny to think we start eggplants & peppers in December & tomatoes in January. Lol. It'll be here before we know it!!
Hi Colleen and Jason you both have had a wonderful season there , and have learnt so much for a different growing environment from Canada, We have been sent some tomatoes from Ali which we are excited to try next season.
Those tomatoes should work really well for you if they worked for her - the climate is very similar. I really ate my fill of tomatoes this summer. VERY enjoyable! I hope we do it again next year! Cheers, Colleen
Beautiful tomatoes. Abe Lincolns are my fave. A bird bath by the tomatoes should keep them from pecking at them. They only want the liquid. Thanks for the rundown with photos. I have to get my pen and paper,,,
Hi guys is it power lines or telephone wires that run over your tomatoes? I wonder if they had any effect on the growth, electro culture!? Power lines give off an electric field, I can detect them with my trifield2 EMF detector. Great tomatoes and Abe was massive.🤠👍
Awesome brother !! The old farmers around here talk about that. The downside is it messes with the pollinators. Our new friend has over 300 hives and we'll be coming to have a look soon to see if we can have one next year 🤞🤞🤞 Cheers and awesome observations! 🌱🤠👍🤜🤛
@nickthegardener.1120 with everyone spraying here it's definitely a risk but hoping with all the food we gave our neighbors, we can have a conversation with them this winter. Btw I've had maybe 5 mosquito bites all summer lol
We can send ya some seeds !! We're going to try Cherokee Purple and people keep talking about Tim's Taste of Paradise??? Stat Awesome Tulips Jason and Colleen 🌱🤞👍🤜🤛
Hi J&C, You've got an awesome set-up there for tomatoes. 🍅😎, Are greenhouses a thing there or does the zone you're in not call for them? Totally the best year EVER for my tomatoes,bell peppers & Cucumbers & chilli's in the greenhouses here, I've never had some many ripe peppers/chilli's in my life before. WOW! those Abe Lincoln are huge & look really good. My favourite big tomatoes over here are Black Russian & Bull beef heart. My other medium sized favourites are Crimson crush, Alicante & Shirley. these will go straight onto my list for next year as they're all good tasting tomatoes. I had some disappointments in the taste dept with Brown sugar, & Pink ox heart they just didn't come up to expectations, My Roma tomatoes were a disappointment also, both plants succumbed to blossom end rot for some reason with every single fruit affected 🙁, Non of my other tomato plants had it!!!. Sungold is still number 1 for the small tomatoes though, Delicious. I've made lots of pasta sauce with the ripe bell peppers/tomatoes/chilli /garlic & made mustard pickle (piccalilli) with the glut of cucumbers, cauliflower amongst other vegetables & spices. Thanks for the video. 🙂
Hi Ian! We aren't allowed to build any structures in the yard (no greenhouses, no sheds, etc.) - at least at my mom's house (where we are currently). The HOA does not allow it. Now, we had to have something in Victoria, BC, where we lived previously. Luckily, Clive's yard was in a warm microclimate, so we at least got some decent tomatoes. I love all the recommendations we're getting. It's fun to just look up these tomatoes! When you make your sauce, do you roast the veg first? We did that with the tomatoes and the results are delicious! Cheers, Colleen
@@clivesconundrumgarden Yes you're absolutely right about the roasted taste of them, I put the whole lot of a roasting tray with some olive oil & then blitzed them in a food processor, Delicious. Ah! right the HOA, It didn't occur to me about those guys, Your tomatoes did excellent there without a greenhouse but I think it would be a real problem here without them 😃
All good feedback here on this video, if you get a chance to try Gigantomo, I'd recommend it but not sure if you can get it accross the pond. Love Sungold, wow the weight difference with WC, I have to try that next year. Awkward question from Jason at the end, a swift kick to the Tomatoes was in order there 🙂 I'd better go
😂😂😂😂 Stay as long as younlike Mike lol Gigatimo, we'll check it out. Final weights aren't in, but at least the WCT didn't hurt anything, definitely worth continuing trials but I'm definitely not "convinced" after such a small sample and so many variables. Excellent observations Cheers J&C 🌱🤞👍🤜🤛
300+ lbs. That is a ton. The Tea seems to have boost the yield. The beefsteaks that are ribbed can get bug prone if they crack open. Amish Paste didn't impress me either and I grew 3 or 4 of them 1 year. Might try Kelloge's Breakfast next year. 🤔
We're going to add Cherokee Purple and people keep talking about Tim's Taste of Paradise?? I'm pretty sure we'll be around 400 if this weather holds, ridiculous lol Cheers Steve 🌱🤞👍🤜🤛
I NEED abe Lincoln in my life, stopped the video when you first mentioned them, went to look, very very expensive for shipping.. came back to video, watched to end...... I neeeeeeeed them...🤤🤤🤤 🐮🐮🐮
So, watched video to end, 2lb tomatoes 🍅. wow 😯 Googled" where to buy Abe Lincoln tomato seeds in UK. Site came up.. what 😱 Bought them.. £5... I'm so excited I nearly wee weed myself..🤣😂🤣😂🐮🐮🐮
You will definitely have to grow them in the greenhouse to get them to that size, I think. But the good news is that the biggest ones came early in the season - so if you can get them going and keep then nice and warm, it should be worth it! I can't want to see what they look like!! Cheers - Colleen and Jason
😂😂 grey hmm 🤔 I didn’t think that but I do like the colour of the purple tomato. Very prolific too. Diggy and I agree that sadly tomatoes are being bred so much for looks at the expense of taste. If I had to choose 1 Tim’s Taste of Paradise small, 2Pin Boar medium and 3 Black Krim beefsteak. But having said that I love an experiment 😂😂. Great update kiddos have a fab week, Ali still 🥵🇨🇦
Robin Millar agrees, well have to get some of those Tim's!! Like many things it's more about the name, than the actual quality these days Ali :/ Stay Awesome out there Cheers J&C 🌱🤞👍😊
I won't bother with Sungold again - they split too easily IMHO Looking forward to growing your Abe Lincolns & Vivacious next year! You will have a few more to grow but I can't remember what I sent LOL I was sending to so many people that I deleted the list as I was sending so I didn't post them twice 🤣
We just got them today!! So awesome! Can't wait to try them out. Really looking forward to seeing whether those tomatoes work out. I'm confident in the Vivacious - we'll see about the Abe Lincoln! We'll be going through our seeds and probably giving some away. Our public library collects and distributes them! Cheers, Colleen
Awesome review on your awesome tomato harvest!! Pulling the shade cloth is a good thing, will stress the plant to ripen the fruit. Ashley from "Gardening in Canada" did a video on stressing tomato plants to ripen the fruit here is a link ruclips.net/video/3D73usbSyFw/видео.htmlsi=vapvN6obqLM4zQ9D. Squirrels are the ones that will bother my tomatoes, birds not so much, they eat my strawberries. Tried Amish paste this year, nice fruit, my favorite paste tomato are the Opalka's and Jersey Devils, huge fruit, very few seeds. I had a Moskvich tomato that I was fighting BER all summer, finally gave up and pulled it. Some varieties more susceptible I guess. Agree on the Sungold, Think I will over winter a cutting. Not a fan of the black cherry either for the same reasons, good roasted though. Dramatic proof on the worm tea, every serious gardener should raise worms, a no brainer. I used to grow a beefsteak Trip-L-Crop, huge fruit but the top1/2 went to the worms. Better tomatoes out there. 600 lbs. next year???? Have a great week! Stay Well!!!!
AHH, awesome, Brian !! People keep talking about Tim's taste of Paradise. We're going to try Cherokee Purple next year, too. Well, at least the worm tea didn't hurt !! Cheers J&C 🌱🤞👍🤜🤛🇺🇸
Dang you will hit 400 easy on tomato. Lol sungold always wins. Weird I loved the black cherry. 100% agree about keeping the cherry tomatoes away from the big ones. I can send you seeds for the tomatoes I grew. Good idea. I don't want to choose. Lol🪱👍🏼😁l😂😂😂
In this heat, every option possible is a good idea, lol That's interesting about the Black Cherry. People keep Tim's Taste of Paradise???? Have an awesome week Ann !! Cheers J&C 🌱🤞👍👍👍👍👍👍

Really looking forward to seeing whether those tomatoes work out. I'm confident in the Vivacious - we'll see about the Abe Lincoln!
We'll be going through our seeds and probably giving some away. Our public library collects and distributes them! Cheers, Colleen
@@clivesconundrumgarden Cool! It's always fun swapping seeds and I'm hoping to sell some as well for the charity 🙂
Salam.. Good morning

Awesome review on your awesome tomato harvest!!
Pulling the shade cloth is a good thing, will stress the plant to ripen the fruit. Ashley from "Gardening in Canada" did a video on stressing tomato plants to ripen the fruit here is a link ruclips.net/video/3D73usbSyFw/видео.htmlsi=vapvN6obqLM4zQ9D. Squirrels are the ones that will bother my tomatoes, birds not so much, they eat my strawberries.
Tried Amish paste this year, nice fruit, my favorite paste tomato are the Opalka's and Jersey Devils, huge fruit, very few seeds.
I had a Moskvich tomato that I was fighting BER all summer, finally gave up and pulled it. Some varieties more susceptible I guess.
Agree on the Sungold, Think I will over winter a cutting. Not a fan of the black cherry either for the same reasons, good roasted though.
Dramatic proof on the worm tea, every serious gardener should raise worms, a no brainer.
I used to grow a beefsteak Trip-L-Crop, huge fruit but the top1/2 went to the worms. Better tomatoes out there.
600 lbs. next year????
Have a great week! Stay Well!!!!
AHH, awesome, Brian !!
People keep talking about Tim's taste of Paradise. We're going to try Cherokee Purple next year, too.
Well, at least the worm tea didn't hurt !!
Cheers J&C 🌱🤞👍🤜🤛🇺🇸
Dang you will hit 400 easy on tomato. Lol sungold always wins. Weird I loved the black cherry. 100% agree about keeping the cherry tomatoes away from the big ones. I can send you seeds for the tomatoes I grew. Good idea. I don't want to choose. Lol🪱👍🏼😁l😂😂😂
In this heat, every option possible is a good idea, lol
That's interesting about the Black Cherry.
People keep Tim's Taste of Paradise????
Have an awesome week Ann !!
Cheers J&C 🌱🤞👍👍👍👍👍👍
