Yes they do! I used to hate it because they laid like crazy on my carrots and fennel. Now that I have the giant fennel in the garden that goes to seed each year, that has seemed to attract most of them. It's a win- win because they get to reproduce and live their best life, while my smaller more susceptible plants are generally left alone...but the butterflies at least...

@@thelittlethingsinlife4822 I guess when you harvest the carrots - putting the tops at the fennel would be a good idea. Babies can find it. I actually didn't grow fennel for them this year and only managed to find 2 plants. Bunnies ate them. Now I found dill and trying it in my raised bed. HORRIFYING bunny issue this year

In Truth, I could have left if on the vine and it would have ripened up just fine. I pulled it because it was still so early in the season, and I prefer this variety for slicing so I got rid of it so the energy could go to making new ones. (also the costoluto genovese makes soooo many tomatoes I wasn't worried about affecting the production. I am super excited about the White tomesol. I cannot wait for the first ripe one.

Hi Jerrel, Thank you for the comment. I got my grow lights from Lowes. They are 4 ft long LED lights grow lights made by general electric. I use two of them for each shelf to get enough light. I like them because I can link several of them together to increase the lighting, they are easy to move up and down by adjusting the chains that hang them, and they are also water resistant so I don't have to worry too much about water dripping onto them if my trays leak a bit. I know there are many different lights out there to choose from so it can be hard to figure out what would be best. I initially picked these up because they were easy to get. I have heard that you can use regular shop lights as well. When I expand my seed starting area I will probably look at some alternatives because it would be nice to have one light per a shelf with more evenness in light across the whole area, and the lights I have had a slight red tint that hurts my eyes when I am in there too long.

Thank you!

Hello and Welcome!

Hahaha, the tomatoes are easier than some of the other plants, like the onions for example. I have also learned the value of a label. Although my 1 year old like to rearrange them :)

Hi Jonathan! thanks for checking out my channel

Yes! I am very excited to see what we are going to get this year! What is your favorite tomato?

Thank you David! I have added it to my list for 2025! Do you have a favorite slicing tomato?

Thank you Chrystal! I will be uploading a tomato update soon. I too have already collected some varieties that I want to grow next year as well. It's so much fun!

Thank you for Subscribing! Sounds like you are set for an amazing harvest season. I am always interested in learning about new varieties. What would you say is your favorite dwarf and indeterminant tomato?

@@thelittlethingsinlife4822 before this year I’d only grown a couple of dwarfs so I’ll know more after this year. I love Oxheart type tomatoes because they are so versatile. All the varieties I’m growing this year are new to me and it was hard to pick what to grow as I have seeds for about 300 varieties now. I do tend to like sweeter ones over the acidic and I’m not a fan of the ones with lots of anthocyanin flavour. Hope we all have a great tomato season!

@@rowenakotelniski2603 Thank you. I have heard great things about oxheart varieties. But, haven't seen any specific recommendations. I didn't manage to grow any this year. Perhaps I will grab some seeds for 2025. 300 varieties is spectacular but understandable as there are so many our there. Happy Gardening!

That's so exciting! All of my dwarf varieties are still very small. I am hopefully I will see a jump in growth soon as the temps are getting warmer.

I'm happy I decided to plant one this year. I cannot wait until tomato season starts!

Thank you for sharing. I cannot wait to see how the tomatoes do this year. I have never grown Black Krim and I am convinced I need to grow it next year. Interesting to hear about Ananas Noir. I wonder if rainfall or temperatures effect its flavor profile. I know rainfall in general can make tomatoes taste more bland. I hope you have a great harvest this year as well. Happy gardening :)

I can't wait to try them :)

I think I might try this one next year. I just looked it up and it looks great. Was this your first green variety that you tried? I am a little apprehensive about how they will taste since I have never had a green tomato.

This is the first time I have heard of Toronjina. I will check it out. Thank you!

I may try that next year. I am not a huge fan of spitting because they do not store well. But, they might not last that long anyway if they live up to the hype :)

@@thelittlethingsinlife4822 I understand splitting can also be caused from uneven watering. We get a. Fair bit of rain in Vancouver so we have to be mindful of the consistency of watering. Good luck and enjoy the little treasures

@@robertma2146 Thank you and same to you. Happy Gardening :)

I love that! I'm actually in the process of expanding my garden because I want to grow so many more things than I have space with. I cannot wait to try Ananas Noir. It looks so pretty. Seems like Mark is missed here on youtube. Maybe one day he will come back. As for BC seeds, I am sorry to hear of your experience. So far the only thing I've struggled with germination from them is the Moringa tree which could be user error if I'm honest. Im sure your grandkids will be very thankful for the plants you are going to put in. Happy gardening!

@@thelittlethingsinlife4822 just be careful to not expand too much. I did that here at our new place because we had so much more land and financially able to do it. But now it’s a little overwhelming to maintain it all by myself while my husband works his day job.he helps me with the heavy lifting, but I almost made it too big to enjoy, you know?

@@lmullens75 This is very wise advice. I too am the main caretaker of my garden and I'm already feeling the pressure to keep up with the garden chores. Thankfully last year I used a lot of leaf mulch which saved me hours of weeding. I hope to discover some other tips and tricks that will allow me to be a somewhat lazy gardener :)

Me too! Welcome to my channel. What varieties are you growing this year?

Hmm. I'm hoping this is a better year for me as well for Cherokee purple. I added Brandywine, Cherokee Purple as well as a few dwarf varieties to my garden this year. Fingers crossed they all turn out well. Happy Gardening.

Thank you, and thank you for commenting. Happy Gardening

Thank you for your comment. I never have either. It sounds like an indeterminant dwarf continues to grow new growth and produce more fruit within a certain height. It's going to be really interesting to see them grow.

I wish I knew. I really found his videos helpful. I'm going to try to reach out to see if we can get him back on youtube :)

I didn't know it could be used for weight loss but I can see how it could be a helpful tool since it is packed with nutrients. Thank you for sharing.

@@thelittlethingsinlife4822 For me it works very well. And it has many components for health. The most important ones for me are detox and anxiety.

Thank you for your comment and subscription. With the atomic grape it seems people either love it or hate it. I can't wait to try it. This is the first time I have heard of Jet Star. I will keep all these varieties in mind for next year. Happy Gardening

@@thelittlethingsinlife4822 Because I'm new to your channel, I don't have much history. Another really cool thing to munch on even more so for kids, try the Mexican Sour Gherkin / Cucamelon.

@@Jason-copper1776 I cannot believe I forgot about these! I have seen people grow them in the past and really wanted to try them. Thank you for the reminder. the Cucamelon is definitely in my future.

I've added a pink Brandywine to this year's garden :)

Wow they claim that Sungold doesn't even compare! Please follow up and let me know if you agree with them? I may need to get a few seeds myself :)

@@thelittlethingsinlife4822 Those descriptions always get me. I soooo hope they're right about this one because my Sundgolds always cracked pretty badly. I was actually thinking of not growing it anymore for the first time in 5 years. I do want to comapre them so here I go again 😆

@@mikami1 That sounds quite significant. Hmm. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that these new ones live up to the hype and preform better for you.

Thank you Harry, I have seeds for pink Brandywine from Baker Creek but it doesn't specify which strain it is. I will keep an eye out for that one and Black Krim.

@thelittlethingsinlife4822 I'm pretty sure you got the right one. It just says Brandywine on the seed pack. If you look on the website, it will say Suddeth's strain in the description and have an item number that is also printed on your package.

@@harry8442 I'm going to check this later and if it is the right one and will sow a few seeds so I can add it to the competition. I believe I did get a few great tomatoes from it. However, I was hesitant to grow it again because it was not very productive for me.

@thelittlethingsinlife4822 I missed the part where you mentioned the Black Krim. They are both finicky cultivars, I am afraid. I Wouldn't count on either producing much. Just plant a couple. Try to get a little humic acid in the soil it will help. I use a small amount of mushroom compost. It seems to help with the vigor of the plants. Gets awfully hot where you are at. I live in zone 4 and my heirlooms do really well.

@@harry8442 Thank you, I will do that. I've never used Humic Acid before. Do you have a brand you would recommend?

Thank you. I will hold onto that bit of information to sub out sungold if I too have an issue with splitting this year. Happy Gardening to you as well

Thank you. So many people have recommended Paul Robeson to me so I think I will try it either this year or next year. I know what you are saying about store bought tomatos. I hardly ever buy them from the grocery store because they simply cannot compare. I am really excited to branch out and try these new varieties, I had no idea there was so much diversity in tomatos. It makes me wonder what else I might discover on my gardening journey.

Thank you! I might be adding a few more so I can do a bigger taste test later this season.

@@thelittlethingsinlife4822 I was trying to cut back and grow less, but now I'm up to 20😄

@@tomatoespoppieseverything Haha, I understand your struggle. But there is nothing wrong with growing more veggies. It just means there will be more to share and more for salsas and sauces.

I am growing in zone 7b

I was thrilled to read your comment. I have heard so many great things about Sun Gold. I cannot want to take my first bite :)

Thank you for commenting. Now I am even more excited to try it.

Thank you. I am so excited, some of them sprouted up yesterday. I hope to share their progress soon.

Thank you, I plan to post a taste test of all of the varieties once they start going. I can barely wait! Happy Gardening

Thank you! I know how hard it is. After making my list I keep finding more that I want to try! I might add some if I have extra room/time.

Thank you and welcome to my channel Yasmin

Thank you. You are the second one to recommend both Kellogs Breakfast and Paul Robeson. I think I need to check these out. If you try Costoluto Genovese, please follow up and let me know what you think.

I didn't know they even had dwarf nasturtiums. Is there a specific variety that you would recommend?

Thank you for subscribing Cody

Your guess is as good as mine 😅

Those are some solid varieties. Thank you and happy gardening to you.

German Johnson is wonderful

@@Really781 I just read up on it and it sounds like it tastes great, has a strong growth habit and is very productive. Definitely one I want to try.

I’m growing this for the first time too, so thanks for the great tip.

Yeah, It's too bad he isn't putting out new videos. It would be nice if he started back up again.

This is the first time I have heard of Blondekopfchen. Looks like I great producer of sweet cherries and I have heard great things about Juliet too. If I put in another seed order, I might add there in.

That surprises me about White Tomesol. I can't believe I didn't try them when I grew them before. Now I definitely looking forward to trying them. Do you have a favorite Tomato that I didn't list?

Oooh interesting. When I tried Cherokee Purple before, it didn't' produce too much either. Perhaps Black Krim is worth trying this year. If Black Prince only produces in cooler weather then it may not be a good choice for me. Maybe if I plant it in a place with afternoon shade, that might help. Thank you for sharing and happy gardening.

@thelittlethingsinlife4822 Afternoon shade will definitely help. I grew Black Prince twice, the first year it didn't produce. The second year I planted it a little earlier and on the other side of the yard with shade late in the day and finally got some tomatoes.

@@cynthiamartinez5884 Ok good. I am so glad you mentioned that. I will have to be strategic with my black prince. I already have a place in mind. :)

Thank you! Do you stake them if they get up to 3ft tall or will they self support if you grow enough of them together? I will certainly try growing in the fall too. Thank you for the recommendation.
