Before i finish watching this video, i gotta applaud how great your content and editing has gotten since i discovered your channel over a year ago. You are killing it and amazing y'all grew so many tomatoes and gave us awesome tomato reviews to watch. Keep being awesome! 🌻
🥰😊😊thank you so much for this. To know my efforts aren’t going unnoticed means the world to me. I always strive to make content that would be something that I would like to watch. So I put alot of me into it. And yes, I do everything on my phone.
Great Video Jen! I got to tell y'all, the Green Giant (first time growing a GWR) was the best thing I have ever had to eat that I have grown. Just like you said the brightness, tartness, sweetness, juicy meatiness was just slap ya in the face. A great review Jen. Thanks for all you do !
Thank you for such a great list of your top 25! I didn't grow a single one of the 25. The effort you put into this season was amazing and it makes me sad that tomato season is over. The bad news is I can see my seed bill and my seed inventory is going to grow out of control! 😉I can't wait for your worst list. I am guessing there are a few on that list I probably have grown. I can't wait to see. Catherine K.
😊🥰thanks a bunch for such a lovely comment to read. A seed addiction is the best one to have. The worst list is almost edited. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting my channel 🥰
A really fine video jen. I don't know how you can rattle off those descriptions so quickly. Definitely found some to add to my list. I may have a row in my garden called Jens top 25!
Thank you. I’m thrilled you appreciate it. It took me forever to edit the thing. The idea that I will have a row in your garden makes me smile ear to ear. I love the name of it too. Thank you for making me feel so special dear friend. 🥰
OMG just realized tomatofifu is back and running yay! And there's new varieties to choose too 😁 ( ex: Isis Brandy- cross between Isis candy and a yellow Brandywine 💕)
I keep going on there and adding so many to my cart but then talk myself out of it. 🤣🤣 I know I’ll eventually break down or black out one night and end up with a package full of Tomatofifuo tomatoes. 😁
Oh wow. After growing and eating them and talking about them so much this year they don’t seem all that exotic to me now. It’s nice to know they still are for others.
I’ve fallen in love with all the tomatoes. I love growing them all. I don’t however enjoy the taste of all the Antho varieties but they can still be so pretty and still easy to save seeds from them for trading. ❤️
Like Cheryl also guessed … your worst tasting would be a close tie between Ananas Blue and Chupa Chups. I will guess Chupa Chups since you talked about it so much. Another great video, Jen. I have them all except for Romovaya Baba😢
If I can find seed I'm going to try Meat Breakfast and Black Milo. Thanks for the video! Really enjoyed it and a couple of your others as well A few I would highly recommend are Earl's Faux, Red Barn, Oncle Remi, Lee's Sweet, Lloyd E Fry and Wanda's Potato Top for slicers Lithium Sunset would be another Another Careteno and Jaunne Flamme would be a couple smaller tomatoes about the size of a golf ball
@@jencordial Sure thing Jen! I'm growing a few different ones this next year. It's so cool what you and Ben do. Not many people like/enjoy tomato taste testing. Or, at least they don't know if they would. Heirlooms are so much better. Growing them is a cool hobby!
Porkchop is a delicious beautiful yellow you might like. Also, Solar Flare with yellow/red stripes. My favorite producer is Golden Medal and my favorite over all that I save seeds for and will always have space in my garden is Dr Whyce’s. This was a great video!
I’ve grown all of those you mentioned in previous years. I love pork chop and Dr Wyche’s very much. I think they were in taste tests of 2022. They can grow some whoppers too.
Jen, your worst (tasting) had to be Ananas Bleue. Your face told of a classic spitter. I didn't catch where you got seeds of Black Mamba from. Also I'm surprised Blushing Bride didn't make it into your top 25. Thanks for all your great videos.
🤣🤣I think you could possibly be right. Oh and trust me Blushing Bride was so so close. It really took me a lot of time and thought to narrow my list down from probably around 40. I’ve even thought of doing a runner up video. 😊
Two I know you really didn’t like were ananas bleu and church chups! Thanks for this list of 25. I didn’t have my pen and paper ready so I’m watching a second time!
I have a question I’m still wondering about. Do these heirloom crosses grow true from seed like regular heirlooms? Or are they like F1 hybrids? I’ve grown tomatoes for years and years but the only heirloom I’ve ever grown is Cherokee Purple. Now I’m dipping my toe into the pool and trying two heirlooms. One of the reasons I’ve not grown them is I live in the PNW and though we have a long season, it’s not hot at all. Hope you have time to answer my question. Love your taste testing videos!
Ok that’s a great question with a complicated answer. So all new crosses are hybrids at first but you have to save seeds and grow a bunch from the cross and rinse and repeat until you’ve stabilized the tomato that you’re going for. It’s complicated I know. But some really awesome tomato varieties are created this way.
Ok, let me get this straight- if 2 heirlooms are crossed they are not technically heirlooms any more? So when someone says ‘this is a new heirloom, it’s a really not? It’s a hybred. Thank you for taking the time to explain it to me. Will you even start hybridizing your own tomatoes? One of my hobbies is hybridizing daylilies. It’s a lesson in patience since it takes two to three years to see the new bloom.
Malachite is my fave Green but haven' tried Abraham. Green Giant Dwarf grew to 8' plus and I didn't care for it. How would you compare Abraham green to Malachite? Wow - My Pink Berkeley Tie Dye (Baker Creek) is Tart as hell for me. Super tart. I won't grow them again unless I believe Baker's seeds are 'off'.
Unless we try we never find favorites. I'd joined a seed saving website and trade a few and quickly had over 30 different varieties and after planting only had 24 surviving and that Black Beauty is 1 tomatoes my wife and I both rated the worst ever. But did we have a experience testing it was interesting.Found black Brandywine as favorite and Thourburg Terracotta as great Midnight Snack best snacking tomato Candy Land Red is the best salad. . Great that TH-cam are showing some ideas as just what is out there. Thanks I've seen about 6 TH-camrs claiming my Thourburg Terracotta as one of the best.Its delicious buy itself I've myself wasn't happy with it on my sandwich and it the only whole tomato I've eaten and did it 4 times each time said WOW! My neighbor from Central America loves it in her cooking quadimulla and other dishes she cooks all the time.
The one you spit out! Worse than Chupa Chups. If it wasn’t Ananias Blue, then my silly self forgot to record it! But I’m catching your “Worst” video, so I’ll be ok!
You were totally right. Both of those were gross. But there’s a couple of other Chup Chups varieties that I now must try to see if they are just as bad. I’ve heard that Chupa Chups pink is actually good.

Amazing list!!! Growing some of there this year!
Fantastic. I hope you like them as much as I did. ❤️

I can’t wait for your “Never Grow Again” video. I bet I’ve probably already marked most of them to avoid! 😂
Same lol
Me too! Chupa Chups and Ananas Blue will definitely be on the list, lol.
@@James_R_Maxwell same!
I’m working on editing it right now. This one was not a hard one to narrow down like my slicers were.
Great seeing so many tomatoes but you shouldn't judge as you just love almost every tomato... just to many favorites

Hi, Jen! Do you have a BEST PRODUCERS video? ❤️
I don’t but that’s a fantastic video idea. Thank you and I will try to do one for this year. But if not it’s on next years agenda for sure.
@@jencordial Awesome! Thank you so much! ❤️
@@jencordialI'd appreciate that, too!
Thank you Jen! Haven’t missed a tomato tasting video. Keep it up. 🍅
😊thank you so much for your continued support. I’ve got plenty more tomato content on its way. ❤️
Loved the video! Very interested in Byrka's Blue or Burka's Blue. Subscribed!
Wonderful. Thank you so much. I’m glad you enjoyed it. It’ll be just a few more weeks and I’ll start putting up my new taste test videos for 2024. 😊
A really fine video jen. I don't know how you can rattle off those descriptions so quickly. Definitely found some to add to my list. I may have a row in my garden called Jens top 25!

Here you go again adding more to my wishlist 😂
My goodness I thought I had a ton but she just added to my list for sure. I think there were only about 4 that she talked about that I have.
Oh wow. After growing and eating them and talking about them so much this year they don’t seem all that exotic to me now. It’s nice to know they still are for others.
Al go rithm! Because people need to know about you! I would have been watching you from the beginning if I'd known about you. Awesome channel!
Thank you so so much. Reading this comment has made my day. Thank you for supporting me and giving me the boost in confidence I needed. ❤️
Girl! This video us on FIRE 🔥. I have a lot of them, buy found more I need to find. Thanks for sharing this video.
❤️❤️thank you so so much. I put a lot of effort into this one so it makes me very happy you noticed and enjoyed it.
Great video thank you
Thank you so much for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Obviously somebody has fallen in love with yellow Tomatoes!
I’m trying Anthos for the first time this year. And a couple yellows…
I’ve fallen in love with all the tomatoes. I love growing them all. I don’t however enjoy the taste of all the Antho varieties but they can still be so pretty and still easy to save seeds from them for trading. ❤️
Why did I watch this??? 😂😭😂😭😂😭😂 time to go make some new lists lol
Cause we're gluten for punishment
@@richardmassey1555 it’s so true
I’m sorry I’m not sorry 😄. Don’t act like you don’t love it. 🤣. I love making people’s lists grow. ❤️

Where can I get your shirt? Couldn't find it in your store? Thanks!
The one I’m wearing in this video I got from Amazon. I’ll go link it in the description if that helps. 😊
I think I saw on tomatofifau they don't ship to USA this season 😔
Summer of Love is a version of Berkeley Tie Dye technically. 🤙🔥
Yes they say it’s an even better version of it. I agree 😊

do you have a website for the grand dads farm?
I just googled him and he’s on Facebook.
I would also like to know Bens top 5 or 10!
It is coming. We recorded it yesterday. Now comes my part in the editing of it. 😊

A double view. 🙌
And your guesses for the worst I think might just be correct 😊
Those all look amazing but Grant County Pink is a must have now so I'm gonna be on the hunt 😊
If your looking for seeds I know a source.😊
Wish I had seen this just a bit earlier and I would’ve sent them. In the next letter then. 😊
@@jencordial you're so sweet and so generous I just appreciate you so much
Wow.alot of tomatoes❤❤❤
I want to try all 25000 varieties in my lifetime🙂
Hey Jen, I know what you mean about the mayonaisey flavor and I love it!!
Yes it’s something likable for me too.
White Tomesol - Huge flavor - crazy balanced. Exquisite. The best tomato of my life.
Really the best one. It was very productive when I grew it to. It was quite tasty too.
Great video I had 14 out of the 25. 7 out of the top 10.
Thank you so much. ❤️. Sounds like you’ve got a good grow list going for next year already.

@@jencordialOMGoodness! How cool! I wish you all the best in 'Your' new tomato creation!
Chupa Chups or blue Ananas. You also didn't like a lot of Anthos.
I will be known as the non Antho girl. 🤣
Malachite is my fave Green but haven' tried Abraham. Green Giant Dwarf grew to 8' plus and I didn't care for it. How would you compare Abraham green to Malachite?
Wow - My Pink Berkeley Tie Dye (Baker Creek) is Tart as hell for me. Super tart. I won't grow them again unless I believe Baker's seeds are 'off'.
I tried growing Malachite Box this year but it was a failure so I can’t give you a comparison. I will try again next year.
@@jencordial I suggest never having just 1 of each variety :)
@@karunald my plan next year is to try and have at least 3 of each variety.
@@jencordial There you go!
My worst of 24 type was "black beauty" and wife agreed 💯
That’s one I’m growing this year. I don’t have high hopes for it either as I’m not a fan of the Antho varieties.
