Hi everyone!!! Believe it or not there are some bad tasting tomatoes and these are my top picks for 2023. These will never make it back into my gardens again.
Greetings from Ukraine! The taste of the tomato greatly depends on the soil in which it grows. I've experimented during the last three growing seasons, planting the same varieties in two different garden plots: one with sandy soil and another with what's called here «chornozem» - a soil which is very rich in humus. I planted both varieties you found disgusting, that's Chupa-Chups and Ananas Bleue Lignee (a bigger variety of Ananas Bleue) and they were both absolutely stunning tasty in chornozem soil with regular watering: they were sweet with almost no acidity and a slight aftertaste of coriander. But in sandy soil with no watering, they were both very, very sour, almost like lemon, and with absolutely hard skin. Another variety, called Alice's Dream, had a reverse problem, it was sweet and tasty in the sand without watering, but absolutely blank in humus soil with watering. So probably the problem is not in a special tomato, maybe these varieties just prefer different growing conditions (weather, climate, soil, watering system, fertilizing system, etc)
Wow very interesting to read this. I agree with you that the soil and what’s in it can definitely add to the way tomatoes flavors are. It’s very cool that you do these kinds of experiments. I love doing things like this myself.
LMFAO! "I'm a little upset that it wasted some space in my stomach" CAN'T. STOP. LAUGHING. Thank you for that gem of a line!! I am sensing that the yellow toms are not as fab as other colors. Love that you're tasting for the rest of us.
I tried growing Lucid gem this year but the seeds I got were definitely some sort of cross so I retreated for them again and will try again this year. It’s such a pretty tomato and now that you endorse it I’d like to try it myself.
Thanks so much! 😊 I love it when you can see the work that I put into these videos. I did take quite a bit of time to go back and find each of these tomatoes in all those taste tests. But so worth the effort.
Thank you so much for saying so. These videos do take a lot of time to edit so it makes me happy that you are enjoying them. I still got a couple more. I have to edit but they are coming soon
Hi Jen, really appreciate you to give us also the bad and the ugly, so we need not waste space, time and effort and save ourselves disappointments. But I'd also love you to give us the info WHERE you are gardening, which soil and climate, rainfall / irrigation - because these can be so important factors contributing to the taste of tomatoes. Would be cool to find the info right below your videos, so newbies like me do not need to click themselves thoughout all your videos - thanks!
Thank you so much for watching and I’m glad you’re enjoying my content. I’m in northeastern West Virginia. I brought in all my garden soil and mushroom soil because the hillside I garden on is straight shale. No irrigation. I just mulch really heavily and only water if my plants look like they’re struggling.
Ananas blue and Pimary colors, the expressions on your faces were priceless hahaha😜. Good thing I don't have any of these varieties🙈. Thank you Jen for the video, now I know what not to plant.😀
A big thank you to you and Ben for being willing to taste all tomatoes and some of them twice just to confirm how bad they are. I grew Cosmic Eclipse this year and it confirmed that I’m not a fan of antho tasting tomatoes. I’ve tasted a couple of others and really disliked them too. I have so many other varieties to grow that any seeds I have for that type will go on the back burner or be grown as plants for friends who like them.
You are most welcome and thank you for letting me know that you were enjoying these videos. I myself am not putting any of my favorites. In the next few years of gardens I just have way way way too many tomatoes I have to try. Then one of these years, probably about five years from now I will have a Garden that is purely on my favorites. That will be one delicious gardening year. ❤️
I grew Queen of the Night this year, and I also disliked it. I unfortunately have 4-5 varieties in my collection that made this list,so I don’t see those getting grown in the next decade. I appreciate all your taste test reviews, and I am really enjoying these top tomato lists
i growed it, too. same here. i also didn't like it at all, the skin was very tough. at least it was very pretty. but for me the worst variety this year was whippersnapper.
@@jencordial yes, i think so. at least its a very small plant, its an english variety, very sour and mealy fruits... and before i forget: charly green is also a variety i will never grow again. not a single healthy fruit, i was very disappointed... and btw: thanks for all the videos! all the best from germany
Yes it always seems to be that way. I can tell you that most of the ones on this list were really good producers. I guess they have to have something going for them. 😆
"Tomatenflüsterer" (see TH-cam channel) in Austria is growing hundreds of varieties in his garden [with an absolute stunning panorama view of Mondsee ("Moon Lake") and the Austrian Alps in the background] and he LOVES Chupa Chups. Actually there are at least three different Chupa Chups varieties - Orange, Pink and Red. He loves them so much, that he grew all three of them last year and he praised them so much that I bought seeds from him and try to grow Chupa Chups Orange this year myself.
Im growing queen of the night next year lol cant wait. Alot of people didnt like black strawberry cherry tomato but i loved it. I hated blue berry cherry. It was like russain roulette. One would be good and the next had a very weird taste. Also grew sart roloise and i didnt care for them but loved them in salsa.
Hi myself was not a big fan of the blue boar berries. I wish I would’ve been because they were so dang prolific. Biggest cherry plant I had two years ago.
27:43 😂😂Ben!! It’s like how can anyone like it when you’re over there spitting it out and saying it’s the worst thing you’ve ever put in your mouth?! 😂
I love that he got a kick out of me. And then he proceeded to try to convince me that it wasn’t that bad. Like really I spit it out twice man. There’s really nothing you could say. Naaaaasssty
PInk Fang makes my I'll Never Grow This Variety Again list, too. Blue Beauty is the one that is at the top of my list. That was the nastiest tasting thing ever!
I gave out Chupa Chups lollipops one Halloween and they were mostly gone, only a few left. I still have the Halloween tubs they came in, still use them. I find it amusing that someone named a tomato after the lollipops. 😃
Wow! I had no idea that these were named after a lollipop. I really need to get my hands on that lollipop and give it a go. I hope it has a better flavor than the tomato. 😆
Haha I definitely knew chuppa chuppa and ananas blue were the top 2 LMAO your reaction to ananas makes me think of my reaction tasting the worst variety I grew this summer which was Blood Moon. Tastes like actual dirt or something rank lol 🤢
Oh no really. I think I’ve traded for blood moon and I like the name I was going to put it in my list for next year. I may do it anyways you know just to keep things interesting. Never hurts to put another spitter in the mix. 😆
I’m in North Carolina but the two best tasting tomatoes I’ve grown in forty years is Reverend morrows late keepers and Carolina gold. ,,I hope this helps you.
@@jencordial they keep for much longer than other tomatoes,,I ate my last ones this year on January 16 th They are very different from other tomatoes,,they ripen in side out ,,if left on the vine they seem like they are never ripe The flavor is astonishing,,acid is medium, never mealy even in January,,sweet and sour an fruity like pineapple crunchy Very uniform in size never getting very big ,,a little bigger than tennis balls and just as round,, This tomato is a 200 year old Florida heirloom
@@jencordial after the information found on youtube(VeggiePlot-UK) i decided to choose only Ozark Sunrise this year. Sgt Peperr's (Acording to the comment of sine rasism gardners) would be sweet in some years and tastless in other years.
Really I tried to grow that one this year but was unsuccessful. I may skip a year trying to grow it again now though. I don’t like the vegetable tasting ones.
The late keepers never get red on the vine on the outside ,,but they are red in the middle so when they begin to appear glowing and multi colored ,,they are ripe to pick. The Carolina gold is like many other tomatoes,,the riper it gets on the vine ,,the better it tastes ohhh they are orange colored,,not red or yellow
@@jencordial there is two different kinds of plants ,,long keepers is a different plant from late keepers but of the same species,,,also Jen ,,the first bite I ever took of a Carolina gold I was shocked ,,for sure grow this variety you will be glad you did ,,the most pleasant texture of any tomato that you will ever put in your mouth and flavor like no other tomato.
I don’t think any of these were under ripe. . I tasted them more even after doing this and most didn’t taste much different. Everyone can have a different experience with flavor and also growing conditions and soils can change flavor profile too.
Do the yucky ones, the anthos that you do not like, keep their "bad" flavour when you cook them? In other words, can you spoil a good tomato soup if you throw in some bland/dirt tasting tomatoes with the good ones?
I haven’t noticed that they do that. I use all my tomatoes in sauces and soups but there’s a lot more sweet and savory in the mix so I think that helps.
Re. Chupa Chups: I wonder what it is about super sweet tomatoes that some people love so much. Personally I find the combination of umami taste and an overload of sugar disgusting - like putting sugar on your beefsteak instead of salt. But then sugar is affordable and what keeps people from just pouring sugar on tomatoes that they do not find sweet enough?
I’m surprised with all the names of tomatoes and most called heirlooms. I grew about 50 varieties and wasn’t impressed with very many. The mealy thing and green cores, cracked fruit, a lot of waste. I don’t like watermelon that are mealy and fiberous either. Have no idea where all these varieties are coming from besides backyard crosses. I may just go back to hybrids until I find the right one for my garden. I do want to find the right heirlooms in all veg categories because seeds are costly. Read a comment here about the taste being different in different soils, environments and that is true.
I love learning about all their backstories. I’m sorry you haven’t had much luck but I would implore you to not give up on them. There are some amazing ones. I’ve got nothing against hybrids though so if that’s what you like grow those. Just growing them yourself makes any tomato taste better. 😁
Worst for me? Isis candy, I gagged and spit it out. My largest tomatoes ever, Mushroom Basket. Very large, early, prolific and tasteless. Paul Robeson was a disappointment all three years I grew it. Was fussy, unhealthy and flavor was meh. Maybe with all the hype there was no way it could live up to it. Or maybe it doesn't like South Dakota. Uh oh, I am growing Pink Ponderosa. We shall see! Thanks for this video.
I too was not that impressed with Isis candy and I thought it got a lot of hype too. But I think taste can very from person to person and even from year to year with tomatoes sometimes. I’ve a couple times regrown something that I didn’t really like one year and the next I grew it it tasted a bit better so these videos are always fun for me to do. Thanks for watching. 😊
@@jencordial Agree, tastes do change. Copper River was a top tomato for my in 2022, less impressive in 2023. Of course trying it again. Not trying that Isis Candy again though. That was a rare hard NO in year one.
Isis Candy for my garden in Toronto, Canada was outstanding in flavour if you made sure not to over water and also made sure they are ripe. I find tomatoes that I have loved one year are not that good the next. I agree with others that location, soil, growing weather, etc. can greatly affect the taste from one year to the next.
@@gholz2911 Isis Candy was my husband's favorite, so I think it's a palate thing. I'll try one again if someone offers me the tomato, but I won't waste garden space for it again. Such a pretty tomato too, I was bummed!
I just don’t think I can. I have a couple thousand I need to try. I made a deal with myself for the next 4 to5 years I’m doing completely different tomatoes so I can try the most of them and then there will be one year where I just pack all of my favorites into that garden. That year will be quite epic. That’s my plan.
Yeah I was a little confused by that myself. I’m not sure he realized all of what he said when he was saying it but nonetheless it was still hilarious. 😆
You might like the taste of gasoline and lighter fluid 😂😂 I've never been a fan of those and then I grew Kaleidoscope jewel. It's a gorgeous tomato with the beautiful shoulders and great flavor too ❤

I’m glad you are enjoying the taste tests. I know it can’t wait to be recorded them once again. 😊
Lucid Gem is an antho and one of the best tomatoes I've ever tasted. I found myself nibbling on the skin. The only tomato I've ever done that with.
I tried growing Lucid gem this year but the seeds I got were definitely some sort of cross so I retreated for them again and will try again this year. It’s such a pretty tomato and now that you endorse it I’d like to try it myself.
You did so good on this! Inserting the taste test spotlights was a great idea!! ❤
Thanks so much! 😊 I love it when you can see the work that I put into these videos. I did take quite a bit of time to go back and find each of these tomatoes in all those taste tests. But so worth the effort.

You are so welcome! They make great sauce though. Just not ones i like for fresh eating. No way no how. 😁
Much awaited thank you
I’m glad you’re enjoying these. I’ve got a few more I need to edit but they are coming soon.
Your reaction to Primary colours 🤣 It's ironic that the bad tasting ones are the ones that produce a lot 🤣
Yes it always seems to be that way. I can tell you that most of the ones on this list were really good producers. I guess they have to have something going for them. 😆

Hello from România. Would like to grow antho Ozark Sunrise and Sgt Pepers tomatoes after praise they receive. Do you have any idea if they are ok ?
Hello. I have not tried either of those varieties but Sgt peppers is on my grow list this year so it should be in a summer taste test video. 😊
@@jencordial after the information found on youtube(VeggiePlot-UK) i decided to choose only Ozark Sunrise this year. Sgt Peperr's (Acording to the comment of sine rasism gardners) would be sweet in some years and tastless in other years.

Really I tried to grow that one this year but was unsuccessful. I may skip a year trying to grow it again now though. I don’t like the vegetable tasting ones.

How many of these were accidentally under-ripe?! Every bad tomato I’ve had was either store bought OR about a week too early.
I don’t think any of these were under ripe. . I tasted them more even after doing this and most didn’t taste much different. Everyone can have a different experience with flavor and also growing conditions and soils can change flavor profile too.
I’ll probably grow Copperhead just to hold it in my hand. It can always go to sauce….. maybe one tomato per pot! 😂
Yes that sounds like a really good idea just hold it in your hand slice it and then toss it in a pot. 😆😆
@@jencordial 😂😂😂😂
Do the yucky ones, the anthos that you do not like, keep their "bad" flavour when you cook them? In other words, can you spoil a good tomato soup if you throw in some bland/dirt tasting tomatoes with the good ones?

Everyone has the kinds of tomatoes they love and don’t. Tastes can definitely be very different. 😁
I’m stoked to grow Queen of the Night, but now you’ve ruined it for me! Hopefully they grow delicious in this 5b climate!!! 😑
I hope they grow and taste delicious to you. My experience could be very different from your. It’s a very pretty tomato to grow regardless. 😊

I feel like I’m the only person that doesn’t like thorburns terracotta. And this year, German lunchbox was straight up flavorless nasty mush.
I grew Thornburn terracotta a few years back. I don’t remember it wowing me either. Haven’t tried German lunchbox though yet.
Paste type tomatoes are Not meant for eating fresh. They develop flavor when cooked
They definitely are in some sauces and soups now. 😁

I don't think the tomato you grew was actually Lemon Liana. Google images of it. It looks like a lemon with a beak on one end, not like what you grew.
Yes I noticed that too. I’m thinking I may retrade for new seeds and try regrowing it again. 😁
I'm just curious if Ben has actually cleaned the floor with chemicals and then locked it to be able to make that comparison 😅😅😅
Just kidding
Yeah I was a little confused by that myself. I’m not sure he realized all of what he said when he was saying it but nonetheless it was still hilarious. 😆
You might like the taste of gasoline and lighter fluid 😂😂 I've never been a fan of those and then I grew Kaleidoscope jewel. It's a gorgeous tomato with the beautiful shoulders and great flavor too ❤
That one is on my grow list this year. It’s a really pretty one too. Thanks for letting me know your thoughts on it.
... and when gas and lighter fluid prices go to the moon, just put some tomato juice into your tank... !
