It seems that everyone has their own personal favorite tomato for taste. My personal favorite is Boxcar Willie, an old classic heirloom. It’s also good to remember that tomato flavor can be affected by environmental factors like weather, soil, etc.
@ We've grown Box car Willie before...i wasn't happy with how much space they took up in my garden and the low count per plant. I was on the hunt for 15 years for the best all around mater. Look...sweet tomato taste...not to much goo..not mealy...prolific...blight resistant..shelf life..early to late harvest. Over the years we have settled on a hand full of winners that fit all those criteria.
Great video! When I ordered seeds from Baker Creek this year, I got the black vernissage tomato seeds as a free gift so now I'm looking forward to growing them
I grow the black cherry variety, they are a deep purple just like they are shown in catalog, you must have gotten a mixed up package. The black cherries are delicious and very prolific. The worst were the yellow teardrop looking tomatoes, no taste at all. Pink cherries are also a great cherry variety.
I am definitely going to try planting Kumato seeds next year...that is the only store bought tomato i have ever been happy with. It seems like it must be a hybrid but if you have had great luck growing it's seeds, i will go for it too!!! Thanks for the great vid!!!
Sorry I didn't save many seeds last years. Just enough for ourselves. Our lives have gotten to busy. You can buy kumoto tomatoes at your grocer....take out the seeds and dry them.
Didnt taste the Berkeley because of how they looked? Shop tomatoes look perfect! Berkeley tie dye is one of my favorites. Unfortunately, I didnt realize there are several and I dont know which was the one I liked.
riverstun we did tried them earlier before this video was filmed that's why he didn't want to try them again. Try growing a kumoto tomato get them at the grocery store comes in a pack of 4 brown tomatoes save the seeds and grow your own. Ours are heirloom now that this is our six year of growing from our own kept seeds and it remained the same.
Here's the answer...ready for it?...The Berkley as Fred said rotted eagerly so he had no interest in doing a review in tasting, that's why he said he'll add them to the sauce. You may like the appearance of a cat faced tomato, we do not. We were on the continual search for the best all around tomato to grow year after year. Got it?
Kumato are really nice tomatoes. My local grocery has been selling them here in February. Nice to see a few heirlooms for sale. In spite of limited space, we’re going to try some “winter sowing” of seeds in juice jugs and see how they do. Our last frost date is April 15th. Happy gardening! 🍅
What do you mean with taking the big seeds? You mean taking the seeds of the general plant that produces the biggest tomatoes, or the seeds of the single biggest tomatoe, or just seeds that are bigger themselves?
those are def not black cherry, black cherry has the color more of the kumato with a touch of green at the top and are smaller then those red cherries. Baker Creek is not always accurate
All of his tomatoes are an odd off color. I wonder if it's a bad camera/editing or if something is weird with his soil or sunlight conditions that cause odd colors on the tomatoes.
paul w yes I agree. I’ve never had an issue with any of their seeds. Especially their tomatoes. Amazing germination every time. Also a lot of the time the flavor is so affected by conditions so... yeah idk what that other person was talking about
@@TrixieM712 Of course! But if you're growing several new varieties every year, you're going to end up with more flavorless tomatoes. Having a use for them is better than not.
@@bumpty9830 Yep..I usually just throw it into the sauce I can. Fermented tomatoes aren't my thing. I only like firm tomatoes fresh or in my salsa and tomato sauce. Thanks
Hi, I'm super busy the next few months and I have been procrastinating so I think it best you go to your local supermarket and take some seeds from a kamato.
@@TrixieM712 The other homesteaders all do it the other way because you can immediately see the ratio of jelly to meat and usually there's a pattern. It's just prettier, that's all. Go look at one and you'll see what I mean. Is he pleasing you or subscribers? I don't care because I just care about taste, productivity, and disease. I'm just pointing it out. Men and their egos.
@@TrixieM712 I couldn't agree with you more. Good on you for not following the masses. I don't either believe it or not. I wasn't criticizing, just pointing it out. You guys can sure grow tomatoes. Personally I think the fool people that breed things focus WAY too much on looks rather than taste, don't you? Just about every rose I bend down to smell has no smell. I'd rather they brought back the smell and leave them homely. Everyone gushes over how pretty the tomatoes are and it makes me wonder if they plan on wearing them or eating them. Stick to your guns.

We base ours on our great well water, clean rain, same soil year after year. Savor the flavor

BrittanyDaine I'm getting excited to start growing. We are trying a few more new ones.
I like your baskets.

See now my yellow tear drop were yummy but split to easy
I got the Black Vernissage for free from Baker Seeds. They are the best sauce tomato I have and are very heavy producers.

You should if you like them. Yep they come from seeds every year with a 100% germination rate
Beautiful tomatoes! Share/sell about 3-5 seeds of the Brown tomatoes?

You guys are so cute !
ShotgunAndAShovel ...Aww thanks...thanks for subscribing.:-)
Why show tomatoes that you don't plan on tasting? It shouldn't matter if it's cat faced or what, just what it tastes like.

What variety is the brown tomato from Baker Creek? I am not finding it in the catalog.
The brown is a kamoto tomato that I took seeds from a grocery pack years ago and now collect and grow from my own seeds
Those tomatoes that didn't have much flavor can be used for sun drying. The flavors will concentrate. Thanks for the video. ✌
Thank you. The tomatoes that we are not wild about become sauce. I do however make sundried also.😉
Good job but I don't have any one your list to compare with mine.
Thank you for showing.

Aunt ruby German green. Berkeley is good. Sun sugar or Sun sweet sweetest of them all. I will try the brown for sure
What do you mean with taking the big seeds? You mean taking the seeds of the general plant that produces the biggest tomatoes, or the seeds of the single biggest tomatoe, or just seeds that are bigger themselves?
Xorok Yes from the largest tomatoes
Ok, thanks!

What's the most reliable vendor in the US for heirloom seeds?
paul w yes I agree. I’ve never had an issue with any of their seeds. Especially their tomatoes. Amazing germination every time.
Also a lot of the time the flavor is so affected by conditions so...
yeah idk what that other person was talking about
that's awesome you regrew seeds from the kumato, I wonder what the parent plants were?
Nathan Douglas don't know but they are now our parent plants going on 6 years. Soooo good!
@ron stone5 Yes it's our heirloom now...that's shy we call it " Brown"
Kumato's are the best!!!
Those don't look like black cherry. Mine look very different.
Exactly
How does it taste?
Not bad…
And?
The dark ones came from a kumato seed from the store????
Originally around 5 years ago...we save the seeds from our own now
Tomatoes with no flavor are good candidates for fermentation, if you're into that kinda thing.
I do ferment but I'd rather not grow them again.

Hello, is there anyway i can get a few of your kumato seeds?

Im in the caribbean. It's not sold here.@@TrixieM712
@@anthonycopacetic5016 oh sorry
Definitely not black cherrys
Try slicing the other way, the cross section.
Why? My hubby did it the way he wanted to and that's fine with me.

You weren't very clear with all the tomato names..
Cause it was only the Bakers creeks ones we we're trying, hence the title. You weren't very clear of really wanting to know or you just wanna be rude?
those are not hillbillys .
When a packet says hillbilly I'm assuming that's what's in the package
@@TrixieM712 i did not take into consideration ur climate . i have grown them for years and never had a solid yellow one . always red and yellow .
Cut your tomatoes from the side!
Who are you to tell us what to do! That's rude. You inspiring to be a dictator?😁😂😂😂😂💩
@@TrixieM712 he's right. Learn how to cut a tomato.😁😁😁
@@michaellane8244 learn how to mind your manners!
