  • Heirloom tomatoes were my gateway drug into gardening. Once I experienced a home grown tomato fresh off the vine and hot from the summer sun I was hooked. And this video includes some of my very favorites!

    This is my dream to make a blue zone where we get land. Grow all the food and feed our community! What a great way to give back fresh organic food and save money by coming together. Keep up the hard work it’s paying off!

    I’m so jealous of all the tomato varieties you have in the US. Here in New Zealand we don’t have many varieties because we have laws that help to protect our native flora and fauna, which is great, but… it definitely makes me jealous that we don’t have a lot of those varieties. The good news is, we have Sungold here for the first time. I’m really excited to grow it.

    Love tomatoes. I love my heirlooms but have really gotten into the dwarf, determinate varieties. They handle our heat and humidity better and are between 3 and 5 feet. Favs are rosella purple, purple reign, Bella Rosa. I’m trying so many new varieties this year.

    My favorite slices: Mortgage Lifter, Gold Medal, Giant Belgian Pink, Aunt Rubies German Green and Cherokee Purple. I must say, this was quite a tasty video. I can't wait for my next Heirloom BLT.

    I watched your "All about TOMATOES! A walk around the garden" video showing the end harvest result of some of these. I'm glad you're trying all of these instead of me.
    My toms have been blighting out the last couple of years. - Mainly from being under water from the rains in August. I switched to more later hybrids and determinates. I still ended up with 14 different varieties.
    But you always have to, have to, have to, play with something new in the garden. Gardens are just large sandboxes for adults.

    I Love to talk about Tomatoes and I'm pumped to about this year. I'm growing almost all the orange tomatoes you mentioned and i am going to try 5 new tomatoes you mentioned in this video for next year.
    I'm growing 41 varieties of Tomatoes this year and I'm very excited for this year.
    Crnkovic Yugoslavian, Villinger, White lady and Lemon Boy plus were my winners last year. A cherry tomato winner was Midnight Snack. Thanks so much for this video! And happy Gardening this year!

    Never stop making tomato videos! Last year I learned I love saladette (2-4oz) tomatoes. Normally I grow slicers and cherries. This year I’m growing all saladettes and paste and 1 slicer. Fingers crossed I don’t regret it lol.

    I am tomato obsessed as well. I have watched many many hours of your vlogs. Some reason I can't click off of your videos. You are the only person that I actually watch all of each video because you have a WONDERFUL personality and obviously you are very easy on the eyes. LoL.. I just really like the idea that someone can just trip into a hobby that draws so much passion and can turn it into a wonderful life. You seem to have the PERFECT life. Happy and fulfilled in every way it seems. You and your husband hit the LOTTO for sure. You seem to have a great supportive husband and 2 beautiful children. He struck gold because he found a beautiful woman that has a wonderful personality and is completely loyal and raises her own children and homeschools without having other people do the lions share of raising the children by sending them to public school and daycare. I really do think you couldn't have a better life with a BILLION dollars. If I could choose between the Mega Lotto and what it seems your family has I'd choose the family life EVERY TIME! I know this is very deep for a comment on a video but I don't EVER comment on anyones videos but when I do I always seem to go deep. LoL. Keep up the beautiful Homestead and what seems to be the perfect life. Kuddos!!

    I would trade 1000 other tomatoes for one large, ripe German Johnson. They are ugly and prone to splitting from too much water but they slice so fine and cover a slice of bread with extra on the sides. Some Duke's mayonnaise and Rawleigh black pepper. Oh my. Marinara from German Johnsons is divine. Our favorite heirloom, by far. We have seeds but can't grow them because we live on a sailboat. Sprouts? Yes. All day long.

    Cherokee Purple, Berkeley Pink tie dye, German pink giant are the best for flavor for us.
    The only way we have been able to grow good tomatoes without problems is lay fresh horse manure down and let it sit for a year in the next year's spot. Then move all but about 2" and till that in. These heirlooms produce til frost that way, but will always produce and then die off by August in any of our other garden spots, even when we add organic fertilizers.
    Blossom end rot is a problem here, but not with the Horse manure pile method.

    Kim might be the best in knowing how many different types. Her other videos at harvesting are proof of what she says. We know people by their deeds. Pluck a tomato of the vine and eat it with no thought of "I have to wash it" you can't do that in a store. And she has no fear of Monsanto on her family dinner table. "She thinks out loud and I learn from what she says. Like subscribe and share.

    You have a fabulous collection! Pink Tiger is my ultimate favorite little tomato. I grow the whole series, Blush Tiger, Pink Tiger, Green Tiger and Lucky Tiger. My Sungold was eaten by something after I transplanted. I am heartbroken. But I'll have 3 Pink Tiger plants. My favorite large tomato is Hillbilly. It's like Pineapple but better. I have a short taste test for it on my channel if interested. Hillbilly is the only tomato the neighborhood squirrels eat, so I have to bag it.
    I spit Isis Candy out. It has some aftertaste I don't like. Isn't that weird? Paul Robeson, I tried three times and the plants weren't healthy, did not germinate well and the flavor was meh. Two different vendors.
    Growing Orange Hat for the first time this year. Really curious about Brown Sugar too.
    Liked and subbed. Happy growing from SE SD/5a.
