I dont even love tomatoes and now I want to grow them all. I didn't buy any slicer or paste tomatoes and now im second guessing my decisions 😅
You may want them for fermented sauce or salsas!!
@SageandStoneHomestead I finally found my seeds and do have a couple packs of slicers from previous years. I'll see if they grow still. Otherwise, I'll buy starts from somewhere. I definitely want all the things to ferment.
You've got some great varieties and it'll be fun to watch them all grow. I'm jealous of your ability to grow in the winter. What an incredible harvest!!
Glad I found your channel cause I am loving all of your content
Glad you enjoy it! We are happy to have you!
Black Krim is one of my favorites! Probably my favorite purple/black tomato. They are extremely productive for us here in Ohio. You're going to enjoy it for sure!
SO excited!!
I grew the Hillbilly last year. It wasn’t a big producer but it was beautiful and one of the best tomatoes I’ve grown for flavor! I also love the jubilee! Voles got mine two years in a row. I made hardware cloth baskets this past spring. I’ll get my Jubilee this year!
Do the voles attack the stems? We have had something try to get our seedlings in the past and I still have not identified what it is!
I have planted a bunch of stuff too! Hungarian heart tomatoes, ground cherry varieties of Aunt Molly and Drott’s Yellow and sweet pepper varieties Jimmy Nardello and Italia. All of them are heirloom varieties from Seed Savers Exchange out of Decorah Iowa.
I need to get some peppers in pots ASAP!!
@@SageandStoneHomestead I wish I could plant outside, getting spring fever! But getting a start by planting my seeds in the house helps, I can’t plant outside until the middle of May.
So exciting to see these get started which begins their journey in your garden. Will be awesome to see your greenhouse be full of nightshades again too! Lots of wonderful looking varieties, will be interesting to see how some of the new ones turn out and what your thoughts are on them over the course of the growing season. Can't wait to see your greenhouse evolve into the Vego raised beds! Love the ingenuity of using the Bluetti out there with the heat mat, where there's a will there's a way. Hehe. 💚🍅🍅💚
Yeah I checked on it this morning and all is well! I can charge the bluetti during the day when it needs it (will be a while with that low energy draw) and it will be warm enough in the greenhouse during the day where the seedlings will be just fine. :) I'm nervous but excited about them being out there!!
I'm so excited for you to try the Black Krim!!! It has been a favorite since we discovered the variety!!! I don't usually start my tomatoes from seed but think I will give it a try this year. Thanks for sharing and stay safe!!🙏❤
I'm a new follower and am so glad to have found your channel! My husband actually found you first!
We live on a 4.5 acre homestead! Expanding the garden this year and going to start raising rabbits!!
YAY that's so exciting!! All of it! ♥ Glad you found us! Happy to have you
That’s cute , the Jerry tomato 😊. Have not watched veggie tales in a long time.
The little orange looking cherry tomato at the end. I want to know what you think about those. I have a texture thing that keeps me from eating tomatoes. The one's that are very meaty I can eat a bit of them, as long as I don't think about them as I eat them. It gets horrible sometimes. Anyway I love pineapple and vanilla! If the description is accurate I want to try and grow them. That's why I commented " umm" in the live. I wanted to mark it so when I went back to watch it I could remember to ask. I will stop rambling now. Awesome vlog Heather as always ❣💯
I'm so happy that you planted those 😻😻
Yes the ground cherries?! Those are nothing like a tomato in my opinion! They are almost like a tropical grape.
You should try a pineapple tomatoe
The yellow bell or pear tomato makes the best tomato perserves
Yeah?! I'll have to save some out specifically to try that! Thanks!
Really excited to see your tomato and tomatillo varieties grow and produce this year! We are also growing several types and varieties of each type of tomato (might be hard to keep track of them all) and we are looking for the kind of harvest where we can quit having to buy ANY tomato products at the store. Thanks so much for sharing the seeds you received and planted!
Good goals! I heard planting at least 5 varieties helps deepen the flavor of your tomato products. You sounds like you're there!! :)
Now I want a tomato sandwich!!!!! Dang it! My mouth is watering...
Same!!
My kids and I would love to see you do a tomato taste test. You could compare the flavor to the description on the package. Love your channel! 🙂❤️🙏🏻
Good idea!!!
I got a new one from Baker Creek called the Great White Tomato. I've never seen a white tomato. So excited to try it
neat!!
Glad to see I'm not the only one that seems so giggly when the first seed goes into the dirt. And Yea, I wasn't going to trust the new zoning of our area either. Last year, we had some gorgeous plants almost ready to put into the ground, but then the artic blast set in and killed all our plants because by then they were too big to bring them all into the house. So I immediately got out the seed trays again and picked what seeds we definitely wanted to start, and went bare minimum on each varieties. This year, I'm planting several different varieties again, but I'm going to stage them and plant more trays just in case another freeze comes. I'll list below what Heather M. and I have planted already....
Peppers:
Early Flame (Jalapeno variety that turns red early)
Helios Habanero
Sugar Rush Peach
Colossus Jalapeno (Big Jalapeno variety)
Arriba F-1 (Gold Jalapeno) Note= We grew these last year and were very impressed.
Chinese Five Color (Leaves on the starter plant are Purple)
Roulette Heatless Habanero
Time Bomb
Orange You Sweet (Bell pepper that turns orange early)
Maximus Red (Bell turns red early)
Yes to Yellow (Bell that turns, yes you guessed it. Yellow early)
Tomatoes:
My Favorite = Hossinator (Determinant Slicer) (Very High Disease Resistance List)
Chefs Choice Orange (Indeterminant Slicer)
Purple Boy (Indeterminant Slicer)
Tachi (Determinant Paste)
Saucey Lady (Indeterminant Paste)
Shelby (Determinant Paste)
Yellow Canary (Determinant Cherry)
Super Sweet 100 (Indeterminant Cherry)
And last but not least......Red Snapper. This is a Determinant High yielding Slicer tomato plant that the Hossinator was made from.
I have planted a few other things, but not going to waste anymore of the comment section up on my Garden Journal.
WOW I have not heard of a lot of those varieties either!! I love that, so much more to try and explore! Thanks!!
Hard to believe garden season is so close!
It's basically HERE! A little cold snap just now but it's been so warm!
What a haul! You'll have to make sure you label your rows/plants really well so you know what ones you might want to continue growing! Oops, typed that up before you started planting! :D
I got it written down as I was editing, LOL!
There's quite a few of the ones you've showed that I'm also gonna try this year. I'm so excited!!! Can't wait
Yay!! Me too.
This video has got me all giddy!
I'm going to start some tomato seeds tonight.❤
Side note, you may consider having another page reading children's books;
You have a great story, time voice.
Thank you! I bet that comes from homeschooling haha
Just ordered the homesteaders collection! Thanks for sharing the discount 😊😊code
You bet! Enjoy!! 🤩
I love San Marzano for sauce and love Cherokee and Brandy wine colors. I don’t have room this year but I may have to try black krim
Tomatillos are easy! And they will self seed forever after growing them!
I could get used to that!
Wow great collection and great deal!! I’ve been doing this for awhile so I have all my favs… but if I was in my first 5 years starting from seed, this would be perfect.
Yes isn't it lovely to be in the place where the collection sustains itself? I LOVE that!
We’re in the UK and we just started off four types of tomatoes yesterday 😊
We grow so many because we eat so much fresh and then make sauces, soups, etc to freeze for winter!
ETA: I also started off sweet peppers and chillies 🌶️ 🤤
(I’m the only one who eats them!)
I need to start peppers asap!
@@SageandStoneHomestead yes! They’ll grow great with your tomatoes (if you have space left haha)
I forgot that my mum just sent me some lemon drop chilli seeds that I have to start now 😆
We moved from a 6b to a 7a and I don’t trust it either. Going to actually try some gardening. We moved a year ago from a 9b high desert of Ca to the 6.b here in Central Kentucky. Wish us luck lol.
Best of Luck!! ♥
It is so fun watching your videos! You are so sweet and informative!
Thank you so much!
All I got is YUMMM
I had a favorite organic potting soil that worked well, but a few years back it changed to more of a tree mulch soil and nothing grew. So I dug good soil from the garden and added composted goat manure and made my own. I haven’t bought starting soil since. Making a cheese today but hope to get my seeds out later today and get in the greenhouse tomorrow. I use heat mats and heavy duty extension cords because the greenhouse is very close to the house porch and has a good outlet. So exciting!
I just love seed starting time!
I’m picking out my varieties today and hoping to start Sunday, I’m a week late on my planned timeline but not stressing it. The jubilee and Rutgers are big around here for buying starts
You'll be alright. Last year my poor soil I used for seed starting stunted my plants hard and some I started over completely from scratch in may. They did GREAT when they got going! Lots of peppers and Tomatoes.
Heather if possible locate some Floridade tomato seeds. They are amazing in extreme heat and humidity
I'll look for those! Thanks!
The nightshade tunnel from a few years ago is when I started watching, so excited to see it making a comeback!
I’d love to hear your thoughts on starting carrots outside right now. I live in NW Tennessee and am itching to put some carrots out but I’m a bit scared 😆
I'd go for it with a heat tolerant variety!
Have you ever grown a German Queen tomato plant? The tomatoes are delicious...
No I have not! One day I will I'm sure! :)
Thank you..I just placed a seed order and they have a promo with you buy 10 packs get 25% off plus free shipping!!!
Even better!! 🤩
I grew Cherokee purple last year and they got as tall as my other indeterminates. They had an excellent flavor and were a really pretty burgundy color inside. My problem was the top third of it stayed green and were kinda of cracky but not like a split tomato if that makes sense. I also tried to grow black cherry but the seeds that were sent to me were NOT black cherry! There were apparently two different kinds in the pack because a couple of the plants had red tomatoes and a couple had yellow. I was so disappointed! I don't remember who I got them from but they came in a tiny little plastic package.
We had issues like that one year and it was Seeds N Such. I can't recall what the tomato was supposed to be but it was a totally different shape and color and wasn't what I ordered. Cross pollination can happen though and be a fluke! The tomato was good still! :)
Forgot to mention almost every single one of the ones that were supposed to be black split like crazy! I grew mortgage lifter and they were HUGE!
Mortgage lifter is one I'm SO excited to see!!!
Have you ever only half filled your tomato pots and add more soil as they grow? I saw that somewhere and was thinking of trying it this year
I've planted the starts extra deeply but you could also do what you describe! The tomatoes will create roots along the stem once you cover it over. Super cool!
And NOW you will have tomatillos (volunteers) forever and ever. Boy howdy!
Curious to see how your tiny tims turn out. Planted the top of my greenstalk with them last year, and while they were beautiful and super prolific, I found the flavor very ‘meh’. 😞
Ah bummer! I'll definitely be giving my thoughts on those!!
I keep trying to grow tomitillos because salsa verde is my favorite, but they have been nothing but trap crops for catapillars for me. 🤦♀️
Oh sad! I'm sorry!!
Welcome to Ky weather! lol Im starting my tomatoes this weekend. So exciting! Where can I find that soil for the raised beds? We are making more raised beds this yr as well. Plans are to put my root veggies in them this year
Home Depot! They had 1000 bags when he went and a pallet is 48 so we barely made a dent in their inventory!
@@SageandStoneHomestead thank you! I’ll look! I’m so excited to get the greenhouse and garden planted out. I want to add a couple pear trees and another raspberry I believe… then I might be satisfied with all the berry bushes and fruit trees I want…. Doubtful tho😊 Happy gardening! Keep an eye on the weather next week. Lots of chatter about Tues/Wed
I KNOW. We have the chiropractor that day but I probably won't want to go.
@@SageandStoneHomestead ironically… I saw your video when y’all were down in your storm shelter, and that’s how we decided how big we wanted ours to be!
Hi Heather! Thank you for so selflessly sharing your knowledge and experience 🤍
How do you remember which seeds you placed in which pot? Or does it not matter because the fruit reveals which plant is where at harvest?
I rewatched the video and wrote it down on a grid! When I plant them in the greenhouse I'll do the same thing ♥
What are the containers you used to plant in and where did you purchase them, I missed it
Those are from Bootstrap Farmer! Amazing quality!
@SageandStoneHomestead Thank you so much, Heather
Thanks for sharing. I am definelty adding new tomato varieties to my garden this year. All these statements about GMO seeds "ending up in the home gardeners collection is really confusing. I have read that you must have a license ( USDA) to purchase GMO seeds. How are they ending up in home gardens? I have heard that some companies add Non-GMO to their labels as a scare tactic to purchase, since GMO seeds can't be sold to the public. Can you share a credible source, beside a company that you are promoting on your site. No offense, its really confusing on who to believe these days. Thanks.
The company that sent me the seeds has not instructed me to show that GMO tomatoes exist for the public. It's something I was made aware of this month that I wanted to spread awareness on. A gmo tomato made with crossing a tomato with a snapdragon is available to the public right now. This is unfortunately very real. www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2024/02/06/1228868005/purple-tomato-gmo-gardeners
Here is where they were developed and are for sale. They have links on there describing the release and the process of Gene Modifying. www.norfolkhealthyproduce.com/
What is going on has been in development since 2008, companies adding Non GMO to the labels were getting ahead of this very thing. Crazy but true. ❤️

Sorry But Black Krim is not and antho variety it is a purple flesh not the purple anthto
I see it listed as antho on a few different places. I'd love to know more though about the purple not indicating anthocyanins? I thought that was the classic marker?
