You have such an epic garden. My favorite heirloom tomatoes are Black Krim and Cherokee Purple. They're lovely and I grow them each year. Also... To get maximum flavor from your heirlooms, give them a sprinkle of kosher salt before you eat then. Really elevates the flavor.
I really misses my childhood.. picking tomatoes in someone's garden 😁 and eat them straight from the picking... How gorgeous those tomatoes... 💖 This episode... 😊
The more the black and blue tomatoes are exposed to direct sun, the more that anthocyanin comes out. I am trying a lot of the ones you mentioned for the first time this season. So excited. Thank you for sharing your opinions for us :)
I tried Brad's Atomic Grape this year and mine were black, with green but mostly black, and turned red/yellow/orange on the inside and the outer green turned orange as it ripened. I think they are one of the best tasting tomatoes I've ever tried!
This woman has one of the best speaking voices I have ever heard. She could be talking about paint drying for a hour and I would listen. She could do audio books, voice over, on hold messages etc...... Her energy and laughter is also awesome. Kept me interested and Im gonna try that orange jazz. Could be a motivational speaker or grief consoling. If my pet dies, this is who id want to tell me.
Great video, love your passion and energy about tomatoes. You're my kind of girl You established that at the beginning of the video when you decided to slice into the tomato and reached behind your back and instantly whipped out your tomato Kinfe. In your enthusiasm about tomatoes you even said "behold" on one of the verities. Definitely will try Brads Atomic Grape, thank you. I live in zone 6, NE Ohio. I am 75 years old, been growing for 40 years. Vaya Con Dios Amiga.
I absolutely just love your channel and what your doing. I have grown many heirlooms, a few that you have mentioned in this video...the 20+ raised garden vego beds that I have. Keep up the great work.
It's fun watching you taste your tomatoes! You geniouly enjoy your garden! So good vibes watching you among your huge vivid and healthy plants! So vigorous! Good job!
-Love this variety, it is the very best of the best. I let my atomic grapes hang on the plant until they have rainbow colored streaks, then they are fabulous..................And this variety matures just fine on the counter if picked early and let sit to ripen....SOOOO Good
Aunt Rubies green are our family favorite. Love it how she pulled that knife out from behind her back at the beginning. I thought we were about to see a street fight. LOL! Thumbs up.
I am old, useless and just order tasteless toms from supermarket. However, I love to watch the sort of excitement over flavours I used to experience many years ago when I grew vegetables. Lovely video.
Oh, please don’t call yourself useless. If you are old, than you are blessed you got to the age you’re at, and beside that you have wisdom to share I am sure🙂 And may I suggest you order some seeds from Rare Seed aka Bakers Creek company and plant some in a big bucket if you have no garden and explore the awesome world of heirloom tomatoes and other vegetables.
Great presentation. This year I’m growing 6 beefsteak heirlooms and 8 heirloom cherries. A rainbow of colors and a spectrum of flavors. For the first time I’m growing seeds of a large paste tomato. A friend gave me seeds. It was brought from Italy by relatives inn1912. Unnamed but large meaty and sweet. My new favorite
I love your channel. I'm loveing that you upload much more often now. It's not always the big production that we enjoy. We enjoy your vlogs and tutorials as.well!! Feels more intimate and super educational from an agriculturist's daughter's standpoint
My review after raised some Terracotta and Brad's atomic grape also about 11 more type of tomatoes we here voted Terracotta as my favorite Wife's said Brad's Atomic grape as her favorite. I'm saying that Lady at Baker's Creek Seeds Company help you pick such a good verities. Thank you for the teaching Lady
Your garden, its sorrunding with faint sunrays from trees and that frog with cricket noise in background feels me like i was in haven 😍😇 Please make video of your whole garden tour 😄😀
I had the different colors with my two Brads Atomic grape tomato plants this year. One plant had the fun golds, reds and purples and the other plant just changed to a lighter green when ripe. I have to say that I didn't care for the thick skin on them. The flavor was decent.
My favorite is consistently the green tomatoes. I can't wait to get mine planted soon! I want to try those Atomic Grapes now! I'm so happy I subbed to your channel.
This is my first year growing something other than beefsteak and Rutgers. I grew some “Golden Girl” tomatoes and they were the absolute winner in all my garden! The tallest vines, the biggest, healthiest fruit, and still producing. I want to try an heirloom variety next year!
Zone 8 here. I thought I had lost all my yellow pear cherry tomatoes. I didn't tag a few tomatoe pots... Luckily as of 3 weeks, it turns out... I was wrong. Next to this, my pomodoro are starting to blush. I have eaten mini kumato's, and outdoor girls. I am loving 2020 a little bit again. As I also have enjoyed my one green tomato of the year sunset green tomatoes. Thank u.
You are the best sales lady in the world, Yes I have tried Baker Creek Seeds and I will order 2 or 3 soon so that I don't get left out on get em late.Also going to start my own with heat pad and lights Thanks, You better be Teaching me well young lady
So glad to see you have multiple stalks on your plants for more production instead of single stem. Good job on pruning your lower leaves to prevent blight. That German Green is one of my favorite as well! You made me want to try orange jazz and Terra Cotta. I was underwhelmed by Brad's atomic for flavor, they were lacking for me. But beautiful enough to grow again. I love Baker Creek and Heirloom Tomatoes are my favorite. Great video!
Beautiful garden. Only thing about heirlooms is they are true to variety they came from unless you cross pollinate them. That’s why I buy all heirloom seeds on line to make sure I get what’s on the picture:)
Nice varieties. Btw try the "dry farming " method. The moisture in your mulch-bed is enough and youn don't have to water them. The flavor will become even better.
Can you please list your favorite top Heirloom tomatoes? I've grown Black Krim and Cherokee Purple this year and love the Krims... I want to grow more next year.
It doesn't get much better than Black Krim, San Marzano will be next on my list. If you want to plant because of looks there is a lot of options out there{like a lot}. Few other favorites are Sweet Casaday, Chocolate stripes, Bull's Heart, Rosella , Indigo Rose
@@Doǵs_Bone I want delicious tasting heirloom tomatoes... If they crack or split but give me delicious flavor, that's what I want. If you want nice looking tomatoes you can go with hybrids, etc. Not me! Thank you for your suggestions! Also trying to figure out how to get more yields on some of these heirlooms using more nutrition for the tomatoes as well as pollinating by hand.
@@rajeshviswanathan2764 I had trouble with fruit set on my Cherokee Purple this year. When watching my garden, it seemed all the pollinators preferred other flowers. I would often see hover flies pollinating a volunteer plum plant close by. When I used an electric toothbrush on them later in the season, I think it increased my fruit set. I can't wait to try this method from the start next year.
@@aletheist2709 Exactly what I was planning on doing next year as well! Electric toothbrush is the way to go. How do you ensure more flowers come out? Use a fertilizer with more P and K ?
@@rajeshviswanathan2764 I'm a pretty novice gardener. I don't have much experience adding NPK with a fertilizer. I was using in ground composting and amended some of my soil with a store bought garden soil and didn't have much trouble with flower production. I think I had enough NPK as the plants look great, the flowers look great, and the tomatoes that set look great. It was just fruit setting on the Cherokee's that was an issue. Early on, I got like a 10-20 percent fruit set. My plum tomato a few feet away had almost every flower set with no intervention. The plum vine is much more flexible, so I wonder if it gets wind pollinated easier too.
I grew a hreloom called oxheart and it's one of the best tomatoes I've ever grown it gets a little bigger then a large soft bball and one of the most beautiful tomatoes I've ever tasted it resembles an ox heart Yummmy !!!
Second attempt at heirlooms this year. From seed, in a tomato. Had to pull four plants that caught a virus or fungus or bacteria or some damn thing. But it was worth it. The survivors' fruit are Beautiful and Tasty and BIG.
Your vines are so healthy! I still can’t get over how well they do outside and how prolific they are. I’m trying to grow an heirloom cherry tomato this year, I had four plants, but the weather has just been so unpredictable that they’re only two feet tall (they should be at least four or five). Few flowers; hoping to get a dozen fruits 🤞
We had a beefsteak cheese and tomato sandwich from our allotment and it was delicious...I'm gonna grow more next time! Thanks for educating me on the wide range of beefsteaks to grow.
You should try growing the blue berry, blue cream berry, and blue gold berry tomatoes they are prolific, delicious, and available from baker creek seeds!
I’ll have to try some of those varieties. New thread... everybody’s top 5 1- ananas noire 2- Paul Robeson 3- pink Berkeley tyedye 4- Kellogg’s breakfast 5- black prince
Love it. Ty I am going to try orange jazz next year and I just picked my first Brad's atomic grape today. Been waiting forever for one to ripen and they are good.
Baker Creek thanks for the great information definitely going to have to try growing some heirloom varieties must be a very humid climate where you live tomato Vine still get that big here
Great video and actually was really curious about planting other tomato breeds for next year ... I will 100% try 1 or 2 of those, especially the one your son liked as mine would also love those.
Love your Favorite Thornbury Terracotta as it's mine number 1,and Brad's Atomic Grape is the Favorite for our circle of friends 💜 This video might be your best work, Nicole you are my favorite sales Lady you should get a Toyota commercial and replace the great sales Lady they have that is a super Lady also but you are my favorite Lady of sales Thanks
Awesome garden you have there! I'm growing two Blue Beauty's but Rats! have moved into my yard unfortunately. Had to cover the tomato plants with a netting to at least deter them. :(
Your garden looks sooo healthy!!!
Thank you so much!
I was thinking that very same thing when watching her !
Then.. there;s my garden. I tried to lift up the vines and the huge tomatoes snapped the poor vines :(
You see Nicole employs me as her gardener.
I agree
I could listen to her talk about water. So fun.
its her way of presentation
I'm so impressed at how healthy your vines are. Not a single sign of disease. Do you do anything to deal with native diseases in your area??
My thoughts too ... mine don’t look so good :(
@@peterbertanzetti2729 Which variety are you going?
@@Muralidharan001 I plant beefsteak (in Zone 7)

I wish my garden looked that good in mid august lol. Im in the deep south and we're usually 100 degrees and dry as a bone during that time
the Aunt Ruby's German Green looks interesting, i definitely need to be on the look for some those at the farmers market.
Wow so many wonderful kinds of tomato’s to choose from..fried green are my favorite..lol
I want tomato garden like yours
I love tomatoes
My wife rolls her eyes when I ask to squeeze her tomatoes
I'd hate to see what happens if you ask to squeeze her melons.
😆
Love it. Ty I am going to try orange jazz next year and I just picked my first Brad's atomic grape today. Been waiting forever for one to ripen and they are good.
Did you use all compost in your garden? You did quite well! Your plants look really healthy!!
Hi Nicole your hard work has paid off. Make some tomato chutney 😊

Hi Nicole,
Orange Jazz really excites me, shame i can't find any seed in UK. 😔
Thank you for sharing your beautiful tomatoes. Are those seeds organic?Thank you very much.
Hey Nicole :) I did not know there were so many varieties! Thank you :) hope to be growing them soon!
I love your tomatoes!!!
I have ONE. It’s a yellow one. I don’t know what it is called but it’s so big!!
Yum! They all look amazing.
Cut tomatoes are so much prettier when cut horizontallly rather than vertically, straight up and down (the way you cut them).
Get the black cherries. They produce a ton
Gree one is so interesting, you have to guess and touch it
Awesome video !! Oh how I wish you had cut those tomatoes to show us the cross section 😅 beauty .
Brad's atomic looks fantastic on your vines 🤩.
Nicole! You make me want a garden!!! (I live in an apartment) 🤦🏽♀️ but I’m still tempted to try some thing!
Go for it.
Yum heirloom tomatoes looks tasty but never had one before might just try next year
Awesome garden you have there! I'm growing two Blue Beauty's but Rats! have moved into my yard unfortunately. Had to cover the tomato plants with a netting to at least deter them. :(
