BTW Jen, You make all that hard work that you put into the garden and videography look easy. Your labor of love is saving me many years of gardening to find the great tomatoes. I keep telling myself I HAVE ENOUGH FOR THIS SEASON....then I watch another of your videos and go shopping!!! Happy New Year and may all your hard work pay back 10 fold.
Another great video! I actually have several on my list to grow in 2024, and I only added one more after this video lol. Bananas Noire, Green Bumblebee, Green Doctors, and I added Moonbeam.
Jen every time I watch one of your video's I see more to my have to try list lol... With the varieties that are available a person can never be bored watching your videos...
It is my hope to get people like yourself excited to try new and possibly rare tomatoes and save their seeds so that they’ll never get lost with time. So thank you 😊
I love Barry's Crazy Cherry. It isn't the absolute best tasting tomato but it is very good. The things that will make me plant this again are that it is insanely productive and has very little cracking. Best of all is that at the end of the season I picked all of the remaining fruit to ripen inside. Those little tomatoes ripened beautifully with good flavor and we were eating them well into December in Montana. My 2 yr old grandson, Fred would run to the tomato box the minute he got here and start grazing. They have to taste good for a 2 yr old to love them!
Wow. That’s incredible. You must please tell me what is a tomato box. It sounds like something I need in my life if it’s storing your tomatoes for months. 😊
@@jencordial Ha! The tomato box is just a big flat box from Costco with a layer of ripening tomatoes in it. I stack them up by the sliding door in the living room and anyone can snag a tomato or three whenever they want. The top box holds all the cherry and small tomatoes because they are usually the ones we want to munch on. Barry's Crazy tomatoes ripen to yellow and then stay good for weeks. Little Fred would always pick them out of the assortment. I had to teach him to keep his lips closed while chomping down so the juice doesn't squirt out. 😂. Sarah
yay on the Green Doctors! So prolific and yummy. Best snacker for me is Pink Tiger. The whole tiger series is fantastic. Same with Agi Red. Now I gotta try the Green Bumblebee.
Bananas noir and creamsicle grape are on my list. I actually added creamsicle grape as soon as I saw your seed haul. The name is irresistible. Since bananas noir is so new, I would love to select for a saladette size. Super sweet 100 has one of my favorite tomato flavors… but the flavor doesn’t really shine until later in the season. But I can’t say I’ve tried hundreds. Probably 75.
Yay im glad one of the varieties i suggested you should grow, you really enjoyed. Green Doctors are sooo good and taste like green grapes so much to me . Definitely a nice and sweet surprise with a green variety 😋 definitely suggest that one to alot of friends as a must grow at least once
Another great tasting video. You two are awesome. Where can I order bananas noir seeds? I grew 18 different cherries this year, some wonderful, and some wont be back.
Oh goody. You won’t be disappointed with that one. It’s gorgeous as well as super yummy. And thank you 😊 I’m so excited to start next year taste tests😊
i love your taste test videos and the best of series is even more cool, thanks a lot jen & ben! next year i'll be growing again ivas sweet white, i guess the sweetest cherry i've grown to date, unfortunately it cracks easily in rainy conditions. although i didn't grew any of the märchen-varierties yet, i think the variety is called märchenengel (fairytale angel). keep on growing, greetings from germany 🙂
Yes you are right. I keep misspelling it which is horrible. I appreciate your correction. I’m growing the rest of the series this year. And thank you for your kind words. I’m glad my videos are helpful to you. 😊
Snow white was close to Midnight Snack and Chocolate Sprinkles in my container garden. Snow White was the most productive of the 30 cherries I grew. If you have not tried it, you might consider it. I tried it once and it was a failure, but we were in drought conditions. I gave it a 2nd season and am glad I did. I appreciate how thorough you are in your reviews.
Where did your husband go to high school? He looks so familiar. It trips me out every time he's in your videos. You look somewhat familiar as well. Do i know you guys?
Ben went to Frankfort Highschool in Short Gap WV and I went to Highschool at Westmar in Lonaconing Md. I’m 40 and he is 42. So he graduated in 1999 and I in 2001. It’s a small world so it’s very possible we’ve crossed paths. ❤️
Ohhh no, watching these videos does not help me narrow things down at all lol. I already bought my seeds for next year and now I realize I need a whole lot more and a 2nd job! Ha..
What do you do with your excess tomatoes? Do you supply a food pantry or a school? No way you and Ben can eat hundreds of plants worth. I really enjoy the descriptions you and Ben provide as many channels simply say “juicy” or “delicious” which doesn’t really capture the nuances.
😊thank you so much. My excess gets given away to my neighborhood. This year I’m thinking about setting up a table at the end of my driveway. That way even more of my neighbors can enjoy them.
Grew Moonbeam last year. Very tasty and productive tomato. Husband who is not a biggest tomato fan really liked them too.
Great video Jen!
Yes Moonbeam was a very productive and tasty one. I’m hoping to double the amount of cherry varieties I grow this year. Lots of taste testing to come.
Time to order more seeds!!!!!
Sarcastic thanks Jenn
Great tasting video again ❤
I’m sorry I’m not sorry 🤣. And trust me you won’t be sorry ❤️

Wow. Thank you so much for such kind and encouraging words. You are so sweet and have made my day. ❤️
As soon as I see you have a new video up I have to watch!
Aww😊thank you. You are so sweet. You’ve made me smile.
Thank you! Binge watching your vids.
Thank you so much. I’m glad you are enjoying my content so much. Your support is very appreciated ❤️
If you have not tried Black Dragon, I highly recommend it. It can grow to enormous size and produced until frost.
Another great video! I actually have several on my list to grow in 2024, and I only added one more after this video lol. Bananas Noire, Green Bumblebee, Green Doctors, and I added Moonbeam.
Wonderful. I think you’ll be very pleased with your choices. You’ll have to let me know which ends up being your favorite 😍

Oh Pink Tiger you say. I think I need to add that to 2025 grows list then. I’m pretty sure I have seeds for it.

There’s so many more to try this year. I’m so excited for spring and summer and all the taste testing I have planned.

Thanks for the recommendation. It really was an amazing little cherry tomato. I can’t wait to try a bunch of new ones this year.
Another great video! Thanks, sister!😊

Just what I needed…. A Jen Joy taste test!, 😁
I thought you needed this today😁
Thanks for testing all those varieties. I have a ton of tomato and pepper seeds, as well. ❤

Always enjoy the tomato talk
It’s always exciting to see you in the chat. Thanks for your support ❤️😊

Please join the Facebook group Tomato Lovers Collective and Swap. You’ll find me in there as Jennifer Vandervort Cordial and we can trade. 😊
Thanks for this. I have 1 slot left for another cherry this summer. Going to be a hard decision.
It always is hard to narrow down grow lists. I hope you make a fantastic decision ❤️

Hey Jen. Where can I get seeds for the Bananas Noir tomato? Thank you.
If you join our Facebook group Tomato Lovers Collective and swap I’m sure u can make a trade for them there.
Where are you getting the seeds for kumato?
I got them in a trade. 😊
I'm trying to find the mini kumato can't seem to find them it looks like it's a hybrid any idea where to buy them?
I got my seeds in a trade. I just tried looking. I only found them on eBay. But I haven’t had much luck with getting seeds from eBay.
@@jencordial yeah that's what I seen as well, I would order but to expensive with shipping .
Where did your husband go to high school? He looks so familiar. It trips me out every time he's in your videos. You look somewhat familiar as well. Do i know you guys?

I loved my black cherry this year, blew my hybrids out of the water..
Black cherry is an excellent tomato. I’ve grown that one for a few years. It never disappoints.
We call the big cherry size tomatoes cocktail. Between cherry and saladette
Oh I like that. Cocktails. I may adopt that from now on.😁
Ohhh no, watching these videos does not help me narrow things down at all lol. I already bought my seeds for next year and now I realize I need a whole lot more and a 2nd job! Ha..
Have you grown Sun Sugar?
I think a couple years ago I did. It was pretty good.
There are only 9
Are you sure? Did I skip a number? I count 10.
What do you do with your excess tomatoes? Do you supply a food pantry or a school? No way you and Ben can eat hundreds of plants worth. I really enjoy the descriptions you and Ben provide as many channels simply say “juicy” or “delicious” which doesn’t really capture the nuances.
