    I'm raising Brad's Atomic grape and everyone who tried it all believe that it's the best tomato they ever tried,
    I'm raising 5 plants next season but have to keep my other type down to one or two each so yes in my opinion Brad's Atomic grape is the best, But I will be trying a few new type every season.
    Hopefully Brad knows how much we love his work.
    Thanks

    I grew these. They were very wimpy when they were little. Once they finally took off they were actually very productive. They are beautiful tomatos and have a good flavor that is very sweet. It is a bit hard to tell when they ripe at first, but you get the hang if it.

    Already have my new package of seeds for next season , plains to have a bigger assortment in my garden about double garage size living in suburbs
    Most tomatoes I will have only 2 plants each and about 12 slicers .I plan to also have 12 plants for salads ( also plume size) and 4 plants will be Brad's Atomic grape , Honey Gold Hybrid,, Sweet 1,000,000 , Yellow Pear, and Sun Gold Hybrid .
    Yes is also our vote for,
    " The Tomato of 2021 is Brad's Atomic grape" by every guest we had here"
    Great to see this video
    Seen this tomato first with Nocoil on the TV network video and Roots and Refuge also Mark's Garden Life also my Favorite Gardener Lady "Growfully with Jenna" who's hard work produce such a beautiful flower and productive veggies and also now in her kitchen.

    I grew about 30 plants. I gave some away and kept four of them. Three have small grape-like black tomatoes in grape-like clusters of 6-10. The other has plum-size in clusters of 3-5. I'm going to check with everyone I gave them to and see how they are growing. So far, no iridescence. Just black. And hard. But they didn't go outside until mid-June and it's been quite cool the past two weeks.

    Has anyone got any tips for growing this one hydroponically? I don't have any outdoors space, so I do all my gardening in a spare room I converted into a grow room, and I planted one of these a year ago and managed to get a total of 3 large grape sized tomatoes off it before I gave up on it to make space for something more productive. However, those 3 tomatoes were stunningly beautiful little guys, and they tasted absolutely sublime. So I really want to try them again because they were amazing. Just need some tips on how to get them more productive - I also grew Barry's Crazy Cherries the same way, and those pumped out massive amounts of fruit. Just want more out of the Atomic grape.

    • @RareSeedsBC
      @RareSeedsBC  5 років тому +1

      They do do well in your climate, but from customer reports i wouldnt recommend them in containers, the majority consensus in containers is that they end up less colorful and can be quite bland in such a set up :(

    I tried this variety two seasons ago. Honestly, this is more of a conversation piece. The plants were wispy and vigorous. The fruit DID crack late season. The fruit color was unremarkable. The texture of the fruit was gritty and flavorless in comparison to the heirloom tomatoes I have been growing. I tried them, but not a fan.

    I think maybe it's a big seller because of the really misleading photos you show of them. Everybody wants to grow an unusual tomato like this, but I can't find anybody who grows them (other than the people selling the seeds) who show any results like this at all. Also, they never seem to get completely ripe. They stay green on the inside. They stay very hard. And the taste of them isn't really anything remarkable. Although I've had no problem with mine cracking, many other people say it's a big issue for them. I really expected something much more special out of these. It was a big disappointment.
