Top little ditty about Noah’s grape.
Love those underdog success stories..🤣😍😎
Great content sir!!!! Thanks for taking the time to give all this information!
ha!
i have a really tough tomato plant too.....i made my garden beds with cinder blocks. when i was transplanting my tomatos i found a HUGE rock. and i thought i filled the hole of the rock, but i overlooked one specific cinder block that was now completely out of balance....and proceeded to transplant as usual. the next day, tragedy!, the block had fallen on top of one of the plants. it was completely flattened.....i lifted it gently, cleaned all the dirt from it....it looked very sad, about to tide....but i kept watering it regularly....and it got better.....right now it took over the whole garden bed. it has the main stem, and at least 5 secondary stems, and many tertiary ones....the tallest and overall biggest tomato plant i've had. it's yellow pear. has so many tomatos just waiting to ripen......
Paul Robeson tomato is my favorite for flavor. Not the most productive but the taste is by far the best.
Thanks for recommending Opalka which you recommended a few years ago in a video. I tried unsuccessfully growing it for two years in Florida because of the nematodes and diseases. Finally managed to grow it Ohio, but it have a slower growth rate than other plants and got completely crowded so I only harvested a little. Still it's one of my favorite tomato I ever ate because of the texture. In term of flavor it not the most complex, but the texture is incredible, it doesn't have any runny juices but when you chew it all the juices are released, and the slices are very attractive on a dish.
My other favorite this year is Mega Marv which is a competition tomato. I grew it with a good trellis and limit one blossom per truss, I got about a dozen of upper 1 to 2 pounders per plant. Biggest one was 2.5lb. But it also taste amazing and great for canning.
Have to look up Mega Marv. I like the Opalka for that very reason, not too juicy. Best tomato for salsa. LOTS of compost and worm castings brings out its flavor.
Make sauce with Opalka! You can Can it too!
Interesting Noah story. Thanks for sharing.
I really like the list printed in the description. Some TH-cam videos don’t do that and I can’t understand what they are saying! Thanks for sharing. My daughter is moving to Alaska, i will let her know about the Northefn variety.
Thanks, I will make a list for you of the vegetables that did well for me in Alaska
Kohlrabi
Oregon Sugar Pod II Pea
Northern Delight Tomato
Bok Choy
Rhubarb
Danvers Carrot
Hardneck Garlic
Cabbage (all varieties)
Slo-Bolt Lettuce
Rogue D'Hiver Lettuce
Broccoli (all)
- There are more, but all of these grew excellent every year.
Grow Your Heirlooms thank you SO MUCH!
Love the story behind the name!
Thanks
I love the Red Oxheart it is truly a gorgeous tomato!!
You tell the best stories! Thanks. Can't wait to get some Noah's grape seeds. They would have come in handy this year as we had 6 inches of rain in 24 hours one month ago and this past weekend we had about 4 inches. You should try I**s candy (put si in for the stars) cherry tomatoes. One yard revolution's Patrick got me hooked on them.best taste ever for s cherry tomato.
Thanks. I will look them up
My 5 favorite heirlooms: Mortgage Lifter, Gold Medal (Bi color), San Marzano Redorta (large paste), Japanese Black Trifle and Black Cherry. I also love my Uncle Jonny's from Italy. You can't get them from any seed house. Given to me by a friend 5 or so years ago. It's a very large ox heart sauce tomato. Delicious!
👍
Tom Fisher , your uncle Jonnys sounds like a Holyland tomato.
@@karenrogers2826 No, a friends Uncle brought these heirlooms to America a hundred years ago. They are big, sweet, beefy, delicious sauce tomato with few seeds.
Tom Fisher , mmmmmm! Sounds like some I would love to purchase some seeds like this.
While serving in the Navy in the mid/late sixtys I was surprised at the wonderful tastes of tomatoes I had in Mediterranean countrys, The Italian and Greek tomatoes had intense flavors in a small package . I have never forgotten the food and how Americians were so welcomed .
I just subscribed. Love the info in this video (thank you!) and I would be interested in purchasing Noah's Grape seeds, please.
Thanks. I did not anticipate the high demand and got cleaned out this spring. I am however growing enough plants to supply anyone who wishes. They will be on my website this summer.
Gr8 info, thank you. Awesome story on Noah, smileyface. Wud luv to have some seeds from Noah, I'll be starting my homestead in Tennessee soon. Tomatoes are up 1st.
Thx. They will be available on my website this fall
@@Growyourheirlooms Thank you very much.
Hey Christdriven , awesome username , I'm also in Tennessee , I do real good with organics I do Cherokee Purple, Black Krim Mr Stripey, Black Cherry Brandy Wine German Pinks and Reds Lemon Boy Parks Whoppers, Rutgers, and Red Beef Steak Mortgage Lifters mainly and I do real good with them usually in organic soil and another thing I have found out is heirloom tomatoes also will do very well up under oak trees it's awesome because the roots of the tree stay pulling so much water all the time, you can bet their is a lot of moisture coming off those roots and the Earth worms and the nutts off the tree are doing amazing things for the soil. Will that's my rant I also do some hybrids but I don't really care that much for them, theirs no comparison on the taste .
@@therockymoundbull3698 Thank you & thank you for your choice of maders. Awesome info on the Oak trees, never thought about that. I have some huge Oaks on my property. I'm roughly 1 hour south of Nashville. Take care, blessings >
Love the Noah's grape story
Ok, I have a mushroom basket plant based off your recommendation. I really wanted to try your Noah’s grape but I just couldn’t buy the seeds. Will you have more available this coming year?
Yes, this fall I'll have more
Thank you for your video of all your tomatoes. I would love to have some of your Noah's grapes Tomatoes seeds.
They are growing as we speak. I'll have more seeds this summer. I'll be doing a video on harvesting them when they're ready
When will Noah’s grapes seeds be available ?
Asking from London UK
The Noahs look like a Crovarese Italian Grape Tomato super sweet.
I have a mortgage lifter in right now. Planted at the end of summer, two months later, big green tomatos.
mortgage lifter can have slight ribs and sometimes smooth on top. Mine have produced both ways at times. Don't know why the ribs show up at times and not others
@@Growyourheirlooms Thanks for that info. That is really interesting. Our grocery store bought truss tomatos come in those two descriptions. The bumpy one's taste better IMO!! I always wondered why, now I know. I will have to look at my plant more closely.
Great story, sir👍
I'm in Anchorage and didn't know there were tomatoes that would grow up here. I'm going to get some Northern Delight seeds and give it a go.
I lived in Southeast for 20 years. You can grow many varieties. Besides Northern Delight, also try glacier, polar beauty and Alaska
Grow Your Heirlooms Thank you!

Love your Noah grape story. Great video!!!
Thank you!
I think I've found a new favorite gardening channel! I'm a not-too-distant neighbor in Redding (zone 9b) and am interested in Noah's Grape as well. Will you possibly have it available in the next month or so for this year's garden?
I did save a bunch. I actually made them available to my local garden friends. They almost cleaned me out. I do have a few left though I can send you. I am planning on saving quite a few thousand this fall since I didn't expect so many people to want them. If you want to send me a message through Facebook, I'll mail you a few of the seeds. Just remember they have not stabilized yet, but you should get great tasting grape tomatoes either way.
facebook.com/growyourheirlooms
@@Growyourheirlooms so nice of you! I hope it's OK to wait another season until they are better stabilized. Also, we planned out our space and are already maxed out, darn it. Next year for sure. Love your channel. Thank you.
Trying the mortgage lifter this year. First time too. Hopefully it does well.
Should do great
Darrell let us know how the mortgage lifter did for u. I live in the mid Atlantic area about 100 miles from where this variety originated. Probably the least productive variety I have grown. I put 1 or 2 in every year thinking the previous year was an anomaly. Average 1 or 2 tomatoes a month. Similar results from other gardeners. Nice tomato but barely worth the space in my opinion
I love the Noah's Grape story Brother!
Thx
Noah's Grape sounds great!
I also like to grow different tomatoes each year an I want to grow sauce tomato type an so far I find the Olpalka they have alot of meat few seed makes a decent sauce when you grow fresh herbs to go with it
Also great for sauce is the Polish Linguisa and San Marzano
San Marzanos will feed Italy.
If you want to grow San Marzano in NJ make sure you grow the largest of the Marzano type cause I grew them they were the small type to much work. An we don't have that great soil from volcanic soil here but you can put together a nice soil here if you know where to look
Do you have videos of growing bags and tomatoes? I'm beginning my urban garden and want to grow tomatoes
I don't have any videos, but I will show some this spring with the bags. I have videos on 5 gallon buckets though. Same concept
Straw bales can be a good choice and can be placed anywhere you have sunlight. Even on a driveway!
Grats on noah's grape and the video! Just wanted to state that an f7 is nowhere near a heirloom, but maybe it's kinda stabilized.
An heirloom is a subjective term. Some would argue that an open pollinated variety needs to be of a certain date like 25 years. I don't hold to that theory. If someone wants to call it an heirloom at 10 years it doesn't matter to me
I am so interested on Noah's Grape. Please do remember me when the seeds are available. Thanks.
I will
@@Growyourheirlooms You never had Tommy Toes, then? These little beasts even self seed themselves and they are OP. My Missouri Wonder pole beans, like your tomato, survived a flood here.
You gonna have any of your Grape for sale this Fall? Web site currently says "out of stock".
I try to get all my seeds in fall for the Spring planting - I'm kinda an Early Bird.
I am hoping to have them this fall yes
I just found you. I SUBSCRIBED.
Thx
How do you keep your tomatoes from dying in winter? I'm in Md. They die around first frost in December here...
I let them die late fall. In order to keep them alive, you would need a heated greenhouse.
I have grown Tomatoes for a few years now and i haven't heard of any of those, maybe that's because i am from England ha ha ha, i don't suppose that you have heard any of ours before or maybe you have? (Crimson Crush, Shirley, Gardeners Delight, Ailsa Craig, Sungold and Alicante)
Amazing story about how you named Noah Grape, take care.
Barry (ENG)
I have grown sungold as a hybrid, but have not heard of the others
@@Growyourheirlooms Thanks for the reply, at least you heard of 1 out of that list, i wonder if any of your variety i can get over here and would they grow in our rubbish UK climate?
Barry (ENG)
@@barryroberts6470 I would see if Baker Creek ships to you.
Nice video.
Thanks!
Do you have any of those Noah's Grape tomato seeds. If so how much are they? I just saw your video and you sold me on them.
I will have them back on the site this week. They are harvested and fermenting right now. Probably by Wed.
www.growyourheirlooms.com/product/noahs-grape/
I grew a few different varieties this year. The only one I grew that you showed is the Mortgage lifter, which was favorite tasting. It has what I consider a tomato should taste like, and nice and meaty, which I like. It’s also a good size tomato; not too large, not too small.
I would love some Noah’s Grape Tomatoes. Please let me know how to get some. Thank you. So much.
Coming hopefully some time in August. www.growyourheirlooms.com/product-category/tomatoes/
Do you use wedding favor bags to prevent cross pollination?
I do use them and like the larger 5x7 which I order on Ebay
I'm from Victoria British Columbia. Can I buy seeds from you? I am interested in heirloom tomato seeds.
Where can I get Mushroom Basket tomatoes to plant in my garden? I live in Ohio. If not the started plant, where can I get seeds? I'd never heard of this tomatoe before. Just stumbled across your video doing some tomatoe research. Mushroom Basket is the one I'd love to grow in my small garden. Please let me know where I can get the plant or seeds. Thanks. Like your green thumb😁👍

Sunsugar is Awesome!
It's a patented hybrid
I would appreciate some Noah Grape seeds of possible☺😊thank you
Probably July & August they will be available. www.growyourheirlooms.com/product-category/tomatoes/
New to your channel and would love to grow Noah’s cherry🤗
Would love to swap some seeds for next year!
Do you have tomato hornworms ever? If so, how do you deal with them? I'd grow more tomatoes but I dread dealing with the hornworms!!
I don't have hornworm problems. If I did, the best solution is to hand pick them. Also row covers work great to keep them off
@@Growyourheirlooms Thanks for responding so quickly!! I think I'll try the row covers! I bought some spaghetti tongs to pick them off by hand from a distance because I'm squeamish 😂!! I loved your Noah's tomatoes story!! When the seeds are available, I'd like to purchase some!!
Last 2 years our tomatoes didn't produce here in Oklahoma we get a lot of rain in Spring can u help me
They don't like lots of rain. The won't set flowers
@@Growyourheirlooms I always get tomatoes but excess rain will effect flavors.
A row planted in straw bales is one remedy.
Seeds or plant of mushroom basket sorce to buy?

Here in hot and humid Georgia my top 5 are:
1) Park's Whopper
2) Cherokee Purple
3) Brandywine
4) Roma
5) Sweet 100
👍
What does Martin's Brodie taste like
Parks whopper
I read it wrong parks whopper taste is what I was trying to say
I've grown sweet 100 and sweet million here in Indianapolis. They both grow well here. As for flavor, sweet million is definitely sweeter. 😋
Hey, guy, ya got a hole in yer shirt. 😂
LOL. I still have that shirt. It's one of my favorites
Cherokee Purple!
Great variety. Easy to grow. Definitely in my top 20
👍
Holy crap! "JUST 17 VARIETIES" i should just quit now! I aint got nothin on mater man
Do you ship?
Yes anywhere in the US
Oh great... I'll ask my cousin to order for me... I'm in the Philippines. I hope it will work out great here... Thank you!
In South Carolina's heat and humidity, 90% of your tomatoes would be rotten. I'm jealous that you can get away with having with so little airflow. Also, most of the plants would be dead from fungal diseases with so much ground contact.
There is no ground contact. There is contact with the soil in the raised beds, but that is kept clean from disease.
Nice
you must have serious problems with powdery mildew as well blight. Good luck with not getting your plants up off the ground.
Been gardening for 50 years. I know what causes blight and powdery mildew and I don't have problems with either
I want Noah’s Grape. Please
It will be available Aug. www.growyourheirlooms.com/shop/
Only 17..!! 🤣🤣
LOL. I love a full freezer in the winter
Needs seeds for India
There are hundreds of places in India to buy seeds
👋😊
Only 17
28 this year :-)
@@Growyourheirlooms that's cool.
Yes and I enjoyed your Noah's grape info. Looking foward to buying some of your Noah's grape seeds.
My 4 are better boys
Beef heart
Creole
4 I can't remember name but it's a low acid yellow one.
The better boys are my mains for everything from eating canning and selling. Beef heart are big and they are a one slicer for sandwiches. Yellows I like when my heart burn acts up but still want a fresh tomato to eat.
Creole is a all round takes the heat good and is my late season ones to have a few to eat and can the don't grow as big and produce as many as the better boys.
I cage all mine in large cages about 6 to 7 feet tall and most all my plant grow out the tops. My better boys some get 9 feet tall. But average 8.
Haven't grown in while being disabled but my growing was down in sw Mississippi
Thanks for the info. Stay well
