It looks like you are a Baker Creek tomato fan. I have been attending their National Heirloom Expo for years and it is a must attend for all tomato lovers. Great lectures by some of the top growers and 100+ varieties on exhibit. This year it is in Ventura, CA on September 10-12, 2024. Hope to see you there.
Oh it's in Ventura again?? I really wanted to go this past year and we couldn't. We have a lot of travel plans so we may not be able to make it again this year 🙁 we have family in ventura, though!
Really great video and so many cool types being tried. Your son knows his tomatoes and your husband may not be a huge fan but he is the GOAT on hot pepper eating. Thanks for the share!
Thank you, for a true taste test, without salt first and then with salt. Salt changes the whole taste profile. I've watched a lot of tomato taste tests and yours is the first that convinced to to try Aunt Ruby German Green.
Thank you so much for watching!!!! Thank you! Aunt Ruby is so good! So much so that I'm growing it again this year. Can't wait for the first ripe one!!! Happy Growing!!! 🌱
I grew Green Zebra in my first vegetable garden and it's been in my garden ever since - love that tangy flavour! Also grew Aunt Ruby's German Green Giant for the first time two years ago and it instantly went into my top 3... If you get the right weather and get the watering right that tomato has unbelievable flavour.
With the Brad’s Atomic judge ripeness by squeezing vs color. I think you tested an under ripe one. They are lovely in flavor. I am trying Atomic Fusion this year but they are stubborn to ripen. We love Dr. Wyche’s Yellow. It was my largest ever Tom. If interested I did a tasting video, my channel is Robin Gardens.
Only tomatoes I had this year were 3 different varieties. Hossinators, Mountain Fresh and the Celebrities. I planted my Hossinators in the raised block bed I have, and the other two varieties in 2 gal pots. The Hossinators were the only ones that didn't suffer. In fact they thrived. So that being said, 2 Gals I don't feel is enough soil to actually give a tomato plant the amount of Nutrients it needs from start to finish. The Hossinators, as far as expectations really surprised me in ALL levels this year. They started bushing up heavily back in May when the warm weather finally started getting here and immediately started putting on fruit. By then, I'd already replaced the trellising system I had em on, and was attempting to give them something to support em better. One of the four plants I had actually broke off in some heavy winds we got just above the first cluster of fruits it put on, so i just trimmed off the broken main stem and left it alone. The other three plants decided to put on enough fruit to make up the difference. I'd be willing to bet that at one point, I had 70 lbs of ripe tomatoes on just 3 of the plants. I know this, because we gave atleast 30 lbs away to friends and family and I actually picked atleast 40 lbs to take to the Church Food Pantry. And yet, there were 16 tomatoes that didn't get the pick and were tossed across the yard.
Uluru Ochre is my favorite tomato of all time... It's a dwarf and mine did not get very big... how did you grow yours?? In pots or in ground? Thanks for this review!!
Oh it was such a great tomato. I grew it in a pot. I mostly do container gardening for the time being until we get our land. I can't wait to grow this in a raised bed to see how she does!
If you don't mind me asking, what size pot did you grow your dwarf Uluru Ochre in? I grew mine in 7 gallon grow pots and they did not get as big as yours... but I want them to next year.
@artport7 that's a good question. I'm not good at knowing the pot size 😬 I'm sorry about that. It was on the smaller side, though. I'd guess 5 gallon.
I have no idea how, but this would be a good video to divide up by chapters, so you can click on any specific types someone might want to look into. Hope you're all doing well!! 😊
Hubby was a good sport. I enjoyed watching his non-reactions. “Tastes like a tomato.” 🤣
Haha!!!! I know! 😆
Best lineup of tomatoes I’ve seen for a taste test! 👏👏👏
Aww. Thank you so much!
Excellent taste test!! I will look for part 2. It was great to see the whole family!!! Looks like you had a great tomato year.
Thank you!! I'm waiting on one more tomato to taste for part 2. We did. I'm very thankful.

Thank you!!! Haha! He is! He can definitely do those hot peppers! Keep a look out because I think he's going to do a Carolina reaper on here....
Love the green tomatoes best. Giant Green is great too.
I tried that a few years ago and I do remember it being very good! I'll definitely try it again some year!!!

I'll be doing another taste test this year with 15 varieties!!!

Sounds like a very fruitful year for you! That's a lot of tomatoes! What a blessing 😊
Black pineapple?? I love pineapple tomatoes! Where did you find the seeds?

Yeah, I don't know how to do that but sometimes if it gets enough views it seems like UA-cam puts it together for you. Thanks for watching, friend!
Noire's have a huge flavor drop if you refrigerate them.
I could see that. I never refrigerate them unless I have extra that just doesn't get eaten. That hasn't happened much at our house lol
@Onniesprairiegarden I had a tough time eating them after a couple days of refrigeration....
