It is the same recipe I always use, yet a noticeably different flavor to the sauce. a 'deeper' smoother flavor. (I can get bored doing (and getting) the same over and over, so this changed it up just enough.) Most years I am overwhelmed by maters (that is NOT a complaint ;) )

    Celebrity and Pineapple will be in our garden for life, they are fantastic.

  • @GordonjSmith1
    @GordonjSmith1 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    San Marzano tomatoes require a bit of 'neglect', high temperature, and poor soil. If you are a grower who 'tends' their plants, then San Marzano will be quite unhappy (and not develop either its firm fruit nor sweet taste). It comes from the slopes of Mount Vesuvius where it is mineral rich, but 'compost' poor. We had two grow as 'volunteers' in our garden in Denmark this summer (seeds that had obviously survived the composting process!) and with no watering, no feeding, and dreadful drought conditions they produced the most beautiful fruit. Lesson is that to get the most out of any variety you have to understand the context in which they come from. Just planting a bunch of plants next to each other and feeding and watering them in a similar way will not bring out their individual qualities - beginner error. But I do expect that you took that into consideration in this test, and indeed grew your plants differentially.

    Pineapple tomato just gets wrecked by disease. Very poor immunity. It may be delicious, but I’ve never gotten to eat one due to disease hitting the plant so hard.
    The Indigo Apple is the current star of my garden. Very delicious. Healthy plants.
    The San Marzano are a staple in my garden as well. More of a canning-type.
    Black Krims are good as well, but you lose a lot to disease and rot. The tops tend to cork and split ... which leads to bad things.
    Also have Pink Ponderosa (TBD), Brimmer (TBD), and Atomic Grape running this year. Atomic Grapes are strange. Pretty good, but not GREAT flavor. Hard for the rookie to tell when they’re ripe as they’re ripe by feel, not color ... and the inside stays greenish regardless of ripeness. First 2 are yet to be determined.
    Grew Black Beauty last year as well, but not this year. As delicious as they were, it didn’t make up for the FOREVER-taking to ripen, the difficulty in telling if they’re ripe, etc. Plants themselves were really hardy though.

    The Siberian tomato variety does not exist. There are about 2 hundred varieties from the Siberian Altai region from the Altai Seeds company and another 3 hundred varieties from Minusinsk. A tomato festival is held annually in Minusinsk. The record has been officially confirmed by the Interrecord Record Registration agency. The winning tomato weighs 2 kg 270 g and has a circumference of 57 cm. He was raised by horticulturist-blogger Natalia Shcherbinina from Minusinsk. For the record, she used the tomato variety "Minusinsky large". Tomato varieties from Minusinsk weigh from 500 g. and these are not the small ones that you showed.
