    Awesome selection tomatoes. Sungold is amazing only issue they crack easily. I like you doing tons of black tomatos. Less beefsteak more paste varieties for robust sauce. It's finally 🍅 time. Happy growing!

      Thanks for the tip on the sungolds. I’ll have to plant them where they’re in sight to keep up. Very happy to get the maters going again!!

    I found your videos looking for reviews of Black Sea Man. I was thinking of starting some for fall harvest. I'm like you that I love the black/purple tomatoes. You're going to love Cherokee Purple and Black Krim. Have you tried Black Cherry? It's on my must grow list.

    • @bloomandwiltgardens
      @bloomandwiltgardens  Рік тому +1

    The Black Sea Man seeds around these days are not at all like the Black Sea Man tomatoes when I first started growing in 2010. The ones back then were regular-sized tomatoes with a solid smoky brown colour. They produced very well and had a very distinctive taste. But somewhere along the way Black Sea Man tomatoes became large, first with the shape and colouration of Black Krim/Carbon/Cherokee Purple, and now with the black markings of the newer black tomatoes. So much for keeping heirlooms alive! *facepalm

    • @bloomandwiltgardens
      @bloomandwiltgardens  Рік тому

      Very interesting to hear! Did you happen to save any of those from 2010? I’d be interested doing a comparison.

      @@bloomandwiltgardens No, that was my first year of growing tomatoes and I didn't know how to save seeds. But I have pictures of them. They look like the small brown versions when you google image "Black Sea Man". That's what they used to look like back then.

    My dark purple tomato this year is Paul Robeson...again. I keep growing this tomato despite not having much luck with it. I'll also be growing Homestead and Roma for canning and Super Sweet 100's just because I think they are underrated next to Sungolds. Good luck with your garden and I anticipate another taste test video at the end of the season!

    • @bloomandwiltgardens

    I'm almost embarrassed to admit how many I'm growing. I'm planting at two properties. It's going to be an intensive garden season. I'm playing a lot with dwarfs that I hadn't planned on thanks to Craig Lehoullier. My favourites are the dark tomatoes and yellows.

    Definitely know you'll fall in love with the sart roloise, maybe not the flavor but how beautiful it is. I had Alice in wonderland vibes from the variety and had to take photos n frame my favorite shot and ever since it's been in my kitchen hanging up lol anyways you'll LOVE the Black Krim , definitely a staple 😋

    Th2 tomatoes I most excited about.
    Dwarf Eagle Smiley:
    Smiley = golf ball size (larger cherry tomatoes are my go2) super productive "most compareable 2SUNGOLD"
    (worlds best tomato flavorwise, unanimously) Smiley = Craig Lehoullier's Dwarf T.P. best cherry effort.
    ..crossed with Mexico Midget wild tomato = strong durable qualities high sugar. (Wild tomatoes have special sweetness gene others lack, & its 2nd parent = Green Giant / original early ripening "most productive per acre/earliest" dwarf that was released turn of thcentury. Yellow color repells birds "sweet tangy intense refreshing..."
    Sungold hallmark is also its super sweet with citrusy zing.
    Smiley = open pollinated "very compareable" 2Sungold" so u can save seed. Sungold, developed in Japan from secret varieties, u cant save seed.

      You should try chicken wire vases2.
      Gardening is gonna have 2become much more compact, mobile.
      Basically u mulching all sides not just top. Increasing oxygen composting potential and has so many advantages is pretty ridiculous u best bet just try it. Thank me later. Interesting Read:
      We helped design the biblical eden. So, you wont be hearing any interviews from me. Satan wont allow it & 95% humans are his tare race. Computer controlled.
      Craig Lehoullier doing it all wrong. When cmpared 2my system.
      I do like that he and I nearly identical in many respects.
      My very 1st garden, 1986, i subbed no book. I employed a method based on simple IQ instead.
      I arrived where Paul Gautschi had spent a lifetime only 2finally discover. I grew scallion bulbs soccer ball size & 17 foot tomatoes.
      Not1 person of thousands has yet ask me how I did it??
      I really only planted 5 vegetable gardens since. I live on a 100 tree food forest Wister Lake.
      I specialize in wild food forests & coined thterm on a 15 year project Mt. Above Azusa California long ago. Now days i just throw wild seeds road side on an E-Bike where most of my wild foods are now collected.
      I harvest 38lbs wild tomatoe (ground cherry) in 5hours 1 spot roadside. They keep 4 to 6 months in winter.
      Lucifer IMMEDIATELY placed a railroad tie replacement plant that spot 2poison thsoil bcuz some spots on earth are miraculously blessed. He HATES free food.
      All roadside mowers& tractors are Satans kids. In heaven, roadsides are where all th food grows. When your solar system was heaven, earths name was SHAN. It was all fruit trees. I was friends with Yahwehs daughter Shazzerazi. When she was here on earth. She created earth from Yah's creation room on Saturn. Jesus created Venus, Satan was his elder brother. His planet became your asteroid belt in thwar. 14 kids =14 pkanets 2boy Jesus & Halayel. Planets are considered houses in heaven. They are hollow angels live inside.
      My point is a local told me she used 2pick buckets wild fruit. Now there is none.
      95% humans are plasticines. Computer controlled by Satan. They trim all our roadsides & teach people mow they lawns2 DESTROY soil. My water table 7ft. With huge lush weeds. Average is now 330 ft. Mowers also annihilate bees. No flowers.
      Now, i planted vegetables again. In 5 minutes I design world lead garden system. I line chickenwire vases with leaves. Cut 24" x 32" = 20" tall pot. Plant tomato 1 gallon, add soil up stem to top as plant gro. U get hige dynamite shaped taproot. Roots then explode beneath vase if u mulch there2 I just knock over vase roots go thru sides. Blanket prostrate plants fall extend season.
      Mobile vases& watering saturates sides, u can dip them in water or catch all water re use salvage loss nutrients.
      I rot ANY green weeds in water 4fertilzer. Those are thbasics.
      Interview? Any humans out there???
