No messing around. Right to the point with good info. Thanks
We love the pineapple tomatoes! Also the black cherry tomatoes! I am doing both of those again this year. 👍 But also cherokee purple, which is new to us. Cant wait for them! I was very surprised to see 2 of our favorites in your top 3. We must have good taste! Haha 😋
HI I am in WI Zone 4b - Happy to have found another Zone 4 farm to follow!!!!!!
In zone 4a in MN. I agree. Not many channels for us.
Great video, strait to the point ! Love it. Thank you.
You're making me hungry and ready to start garden planning. Good review of your favorite varieties.
Thank you. I am so missing my fresh tomatoes. I am a veg snob and I just would rather not eat any unless I can get them fresh at home.
Thanks for the review Heather! We love peppers and tomatoes so I’m going to try some of your recommendations. Have a great weekend ❣️ Josie
Thank you. They are popular among all gardeners for sure.. even us up North. ~Heather
Just found you guys and can't wait to binge watch haha
Great review on your tomato variety. Thanks for sharing.
I am glad you liked it. Thank you.
Nice to try different varieties. I always grow the same ones that I know grow well but I think it’s time to try s few new ones! Great video 👍
Yes. Its hard to give up valuable space for new things that may not work as well. It is always a risk. ~Heather
Looking forward to following your channel
Very good information. Thanks for sharing!
My Backyard Garden thank you 😊
My San Marzano did wonderful in my garden bed. They are kinda funny shaped, I used it for canning. I will have to try black cherry, looks good.
Oh my goodness I LOVE your plant markers!!!! Great idea! The pineapple tomato sounds yummy!! I think you've convinced me to grow them this year!!
Thank you! I did a video on how to make them. It is to date one of our all time worst viewed videos, so I am glad one person likes them at least lol: ruclips.net/video/trk4Vn498P0/видео.html
Nice video. Thank you.
Same for me on San Marzano!!! In the last two weeks I've pulled off 30-40 rotten ones from 3 plants. The plants are grow in the same soil as several other tomato plants, same watering, and same fertilizer schedule and it is the ONLY one with rot!
Thanks for getting to the point! 😉
I grow a lot of different tomatoes every year. I totally agree with you on the Pineapple tomato they are delicious. One that I really like is a tomato called Biltmore. It comes from the Biltmore estate. Medium sized on a smallish plant with a fantastic taste.
Huge fan of sunsugar cherry tomato,the improved sun gold with less cracking if it rains.
Also love oxheart and caspian pink for large tomatoes with low acidity
Granadero is a great large paste tomato with smooth skin
I can't grow San Marzano either! I think they need the volcanic ash to taste as they're meant.
Pineapple tomato is my favorite, I made a wonderful roasted tomato (with roasted pepper and garlic too) soup last year and can't wait to make more!
Thanks everyone for talking me out of marzanos.last year I had around 20 varieties . Beefmaster,big boy,pink brandywine and purple Cherokee tasted best. The hybrids cranked the whole season. Heirlooms died. Yellow pear was for the birds. Done with cherry types too much picking a big ol beefmaster tastes better anyway. Good luck everyone.
What zzz
Thank you !!
I see you live in Minnesota. That's awesome, so do I, and I've been trying to figure out what to grow in my garden.
Yes, I saw that! I love to fish so that why I was excited when I found your channel. All of the peppers and tomatoes I grew had to be started indoors with grow lights. I usually start them around March 15th for transplant out around Mother's Day. ~Heather
@@BearBottomAcres I tried planting peppers from seeds last year. It didn't work. Now I know why people start them early. I'll learn by watching you.
Pineapple tomato, that's like two of my favorite things.😃
I can get behind the Jimmy tomatoes though.😁
We loved Paul Robeson and Dr wyche tomatoes. So juicy and flavorful. We grow in western Massachusetts
King of the north I tried last had loads full on each plant and the plants got huge. Jimmy nardello is this years new one I got since I have heard so many good things about it
I grew the Siberia last year and wasn't impressed. My favorite so far was ace 55 bush. Amazing flavor easy care lots of huge tomatoes and less work because it's a bush variety that's also an open pollinated heirloom.
Fantastic video, I'm going to try the pineapple next year, she's fun to watch a+ vid
My top two favorites are Classic Beefsteak and Amish Paste! Taste like dipped in sugar!
I agree the Pineapple is a very good tomato, we grew them last season. Please try making salsa with them along with your #1 pepper.
But still my all time favorite is the Celebrity Hybrid F1 tomato(det) also a 1984 All-America Selections(AAS) winner.
Celebrity and Pineapple will be in our garden for life, they are fantastic.
I'm hearing good things about the Red Snapper Tomato, heavy yields and extra large fruit supposedly. Gonna give them a try this season.
I use Bumblebees for pickling.
Ohhh I love black cherry! Thorburn's Terra-cotta is really good too, if you haven't tried that one.
San marzano wouldnt do well for me either! I hate to hear you say you didnt love sunrise bumblebee 😿I have not tried but i just got seeds for those. i hope mine do well. Who did you buy the seeds from for the sunrise bumblebee?
had to watch this again lol
We're in Minnesota too!
That is great to hear! Hi neighbor. ~Heather
No luck with San Marzano’s for me either! I’m in Michigan, in zone 5a, and I’ve given up on those.
Nice content! I highly recommend Golden Monarch tomato if you can find the seeds. Incredibly tasty, bright yellow, boat-shaped slicers. Also Reisentraub for super productive, tasty, red cluster cherries with a nipple end. Cheers!
Oooh thanks for the recommendations! Our tomato space will be really limited this year, so I’ve been looking for a few reliable varieties to make the most of it. I trust your opinions on this matter! ~Britt
Thank you. Tomatoes sure do take up a ton of garden real estate. Especially the indeterminate kinds. ~Heather
GIRL ME TOO!!!! Every time I’ve tried San marzano they rotted even with good nutrients in the soil! And they were also skinny and small too, yikes! This year I’m doing Amish canning!
Bet you tell that to all the gardeners and canners.
Anyhow if they are appearing to rot great time for dehidrating,
and passive dehidrating.
I also love pineapple tomatoes
I've wanted to try the Jimmy nardellos for a while peppers dont grow well for me though. Last year summer was pretty cloudy.
Oh, I am sorry to hear that. We are zone 4 and our last frost is May 10. We have moderate rain. They do well for us here, but we have other plants that don't. It is so dependent on where you live some times. Thanks for watching. ~Heather
@@BearBottomAcres I think if we had a nice summer they would be ok. The first summer here was nice and sunny. It just depends I guess. Last year was bad. Mosquitoes were worse than usual too because the winter wasn't as cold as usual. I'm going to try from the greenhouse when it's up and hope for a not so rainy cloudy summer. It wont stop me trying. We live in a zone 4 too. Central Maine.
yellow is the best!
You should try the black krim tomato or the sherrokee purple 😋
Never tried the pineapple tomato. I’ll keep my eyes open for it now 😁👍
It is so so good. I highly recommend it!
My best growing tomatoes were Roma tomatoes last year I'm in 5b Ontario. I'm growing San Marzano tomatoes again this year
Great information. Pineapple tomato sounds like a good one to try. What growing zone are you guys in.
We grew all of these in zone 4. We had to start them indoors with grow lights first. ~Heather
San Marzano tomatoes require a bit of 'neglect', high temperature, and poor soil. If you are a grower who 'tends' their plants, then San Marzano will be quite unhappy (and not develop either its firm fruit nor sweet taste). It comes from the slopes of Mount Vesuvius where it is mineral rich, but 'compost' poor. We had two grow as 'volunteers' in our garden in Denmark this summer (seeds that had obviously survived the composting process!) and with no watering, no feeding, and dreadful drought conditions they produced the most beautiful fruit. Lesson is that to get the most out of any variety you have to understand the context in which they come from. Just planting a bunch of plants next to each other and feeding and watering them in a similar way will not bring out their individual qualities - beginner error. But I do expect that you took that into consideration in this test, and indeed grew your plants differentially.
I grow San Marzanos in S.Florida.
What is the best tomato to grow in 5 gallon bucket
San Marzano must grow on vulcanic soil to have good flavor
I think I forgot to start my Nardellos 🤔 I need to find them and pop them in with the rest!
Did you try the Triple-L crop? Curious what you thought about it.
Pineapple tomato just gets wrecked by disease. Very poor immunity. It may be delicious, but I’ve never gotten to eat one due to disease hitting the plant so hard.
The Indigo Apple is the current star of my garden. Very delicious. Healthy plants.
The San Marzano are a staple in my garden as well. More of a canning-type.
Black Krims are good as well, but you lose a lot to disease and rot. The tops tend to cork and split ... which leads to bad things.
Also have Pink Ponderosa (TBD), Brimmer (TBD), and Atomic Grape running this year. Atomic Grapes are strange. Pretty good, but not GREAT flavor. Hard for the rookie to tell when they’re ripe as they’re ripe by feel, not color ... and the inside stays greenish regardless of ripeness. First 2 are yet to be determined.
Grew Black Beauty last year as well, but not this year. As delicious as they were, it didn’t make up for the FOREVER-taking to ripen, the difficulty in telling if they’re ripe, etc. Plants themselves were really hardy though.
I've compared Pineapple to Virginia Sweets a few times and IMO Virginia Sweets is way better. You might want to try that.
Also - have you tried Sun Sugar (hybrid) Cherry?
That's so funny, BBA, Pineapple is my fav, too! 6/6/2021
Have you tried oxhearts? For canning, love them. Totally agree on the San Marzano and Black Cherry/ (you are not alone on that paste (and any of the 'paste' types for me) Gave up, discovered oxhearts and have never looked back.....
Good to hear. Trying them this year and I can a lot.
@@bbtruth2161 One thing I do with my maters. I will separate out the orange/yellow/bi-color from the red and do a batch with just those. It is the same recipe I always use, yet a noticeably different flavor to the sauce. a 'deeper' smoother flavor. (I can get bored doing (and getting) the same over and over, so this changed it up just enough.) Most years I am overwhelmed by maters (that is NOT a complaint ;) )
@@Janner-bs2bi Good info. Thanks. Hope you have another good mater year.
great info - thank you - but could lose the music!
I just love your humorus logo. Where can I get one of your T-shirts?

The first one is apparel. The 2nd is glassware and some other stuff. I am really proud of the quality of the sweatshirts and t-shirts. If you call them they can get you other colors. 651-683-2313.
IMHO Sun Sugar is BEST Cherry tomato!
What is the best Pico de Gallo tomato...that’s all I need!
Yum! That is a good question. Maybe a paste type tomato like Martinos Roma? I just end up throwing a bunch of different tomatoes into what ever I'm cooking in the Summer time. ~Heather
For those of you watching, don't pass on the San Marzano. It's the most popular Roma tomato out there. I was very surprised that she didn't mention or grow Sungold cherry tomatoes. They are always listed in the top 3 for best cherry tomatoes.
Sunsugar is the improved sungold, with less cracking if there's rain and has been my favorite since I tried it
@@flowercook3915 I'm seeing mixed reviews on sun sugar. No one is saying that it's an improvement over Sungold. They are saying that it has a thicker skin then sungold and that the sweetness is weaker than Sungold.
Where are you located? I am at 8,000 and always looking for northern gardeners.
The Siberian tomato variety does not exist. There are about 2 hundred varieties from the Siberian Altai region from the Altai Seeds company and another 3 hundred varieties from Minusinsk. A tomato festival is held annually in Minusinsk. The record has been officially confirmed by the Interrecord Record Registration agency. The winning tomato weighs 2 kg 270 g and has a circumference of 57 cm. He was raised by horticulturist-blogger Natalia Shcherbinina from Minusinsk. For the record, she used the tomato variety "Minusinsky large". Tomato varieties from Minusinsk weigh from 500 g. and these are not the small ones that you showed.
Jimmy Nardello or Corbachi?
Your background music is too loud.
Looks a little like aunty peggy
When you said pineapple I literally jumped up and fist pumped while yelling "hell yea" Pineapple tomato is by far the best tomato of all time I don't care what anyone says
