I’m glad I’m not the only one who obsessively hits the “x” on the website terms and agreements instead of just accepting them. I love your channel, you inspired me to get chickens. So now I own 5 girls and ordered chicks for the spring.
I hope you love the black krim! I was introduced to it when I was a teenager, and now that I have my own garden, I have grown them every year. It's my favorite for a good old tomato sandwich, and sometimes I just eat them like apples😄 They grow well in our sandy soil. (Zone 4a, mid-western WI)
I settled into the Amish paste as our paste tomato several years back. Large fruit, prolific. Also its indeterminant so you don't get bombarded with canning tomatoes all at once - something important after age 60. We grow Brandywine as our "slicing" tomato and Sweet 100 cherry. We then pick one "fun" tomato. Last year Cherokee purple. Next year looks like Kellogg Breakfast...although we're still studying.
I only grow Amish paste for slicing and storage and them I have an heirloom grape that I can't remember the name of but I save the seeds every year and it is by far my favorite snacking tomato, I live in Wisconsin also and they do very well
I have grown Roma, San Marzano and Amish Paste. Hands down, here in southeastern Michigan, Amish Paste has been most prolific. I love the flavor for everything from fresh eating to canning every kind of tomato product.
You have got to try dehydrating the sweet 100 tomato. I like them best if I leave them a little on the chewy side and then put them in ziploc bag in the freezer. They are great to add to a salad during the tomato offseason.
This series will be epic. Exactly what I’m looking for. 1st year buying seeds of any kind- have johnnys, high mowing organic seed catalogs. I’ll be with ya straight through. Any community comments tips n tricks offered are 💯 welcome!
Great video, I am new to gardening and needed a seed company recommendation. I just ordered from Johnny’s after watching your video. Trying the super sweet 100.
I just received 8 inches of snow yesterday 😟 mid April is planting season for me. I don't grow any tomatoes because I primarily buy imported tomatoes from Italy and always keep a big supply on hand 😀
Heirloom seeds will provide you with seeds for next year. Some Hybrids may not have seeds that may not puduce fruit. You will have a nice bush but no tomatoes! Cherry tomatoes are great producers and work great for salads!
There are so many neat varieties of tomato! With the shorter growing season I would think that early tomatoes would be ideal. What is the disadvantage?
Check out MIgardener! Free shipping on seed orders of $12 or more and all seed packets are just $2 each! I've had great germination rates with them too!
Cherokee Purple taste nasty, my mother loved them and my dad gave me some plants last year. 100% chicken food because they never look ripe. Bugs love them so mine always had holes in them. One my dad likes is "Long Keepers" they store well. He puts them in a paper box under the sink. He said they last about a month!

Yes I also drive my hubby nuts when I have to many browser tabs open! 😂 I tell him I was going back to them! 😂
You have a great voice for talk radio.
Dr wyche and Paul Robeson are two of my favs. Also bakers creek and mi gardener are great sources for seeds. I find johnnys expensive
I love the lemon Boy. I plant them every year and they never disappoint me.
The Black Krim look similar to the CP, but are MUCH easier to grow. They’re excellent in salsa.

grat to hear your thoughts walking thru
Surprised you didn’t get the Sungold!! Best cherry tomato I’ve ever had. I’ve grow it every year for about 10 years now. Tastes like sweet candy.
Agreed! As a reformed tomato hater Sungolds were a gateway tomato for me. They will always have a place in my garden!

search top 10 favorite tomatoes, Black Krim is always in the list. My daughter grew Marmade tomatoes, wow, flavor is superior.
