You both are so funny together. I just love watching you both. You have a GREAT married chemistry. ❤

[@jencordial]

😊thank you so much. That’s so nice to hear.

I watch several KZbin channels for tomato information. I have grown to really like your channel best of all. I like the format and all of the many tomato taste tests. The interaction between you, Jen and Ben is enjoyable and insightful. Also I like the thumbnail format you use because I can see the names and pictures of the tomatoes you are reviewing. And if I want to go back and review a particular variety, it makes it easier to find. I don’t know how you guys manage so many tomato plants each year but keep it up. You are doing everything right. Best wishes.

[@jencordial]

Oh wow. What a fantastic compliment. Thank you. I appreciate your feedback and kind words. I look forward to next years taste tests.

[@JohnKramar]

@@jencordial Thank you so much for your reply. I grew 16 different varieties this year, here in Southern Indiana, zone 6b. Some were heirloom indeterminants, cherries and dwarfs. I had lots of fun doing my own taste tests. In the last week I have been ordering several of the varieties from your recent top 25 list. Was able to get the Black Milo from Larry in Kentucky. The only one I haven’t been able to source yet is West Virginia Straw. Everyone is out of stock. Hopefully, they will be restocked soon. Looking forward to your 2024 tomato test. Take care.

[@simmran1]

Yes! Do the top 20 of your grow list. Yay!

[@jencordial]

It’s on my to do list. I’m also planning on doing a video of all the giant varieties I want to grow this year. I’m trying to grow an over three pounder.

[@mrandmrstomatohead]

Great video, you guys!!! So much fun, as usual! Love you!

[@jencordial]

Thank you sweet friend.❤️

[@LDTripp29]

Really enjoy watching you 2 tasting tomatoes. Best by far on KZbin. Jenn's the Rockstar on KZbin but your the man! Good job dude.

[@jencordial]

Thank you so very much. I’m glad you’ve enjoyed them.

[@sweetenedjourney]

Oh man! Love the yellow hat! I bet he got a good deal on that. 😂 You two are the best!

[@sweetenedjourney]

I got a shout-out 🎉 Thanks Ben!!!

[@jencordial]

Oh yes he got an amazing deal. 😆😆 Love you

[@snipercat1123]

This was so fun and helpful for me to use with narrowing down my grow list for next year. I think his signature is now cleaning his glasses, and that must be done at least once every video 😹 I’m pretty sure I will be growing 4 of his top 15 in my garden in 2024. Can’t wait for the next video

[@jencordial]

Fantastic. I’m so happy it was helpful to you. 😁

[@ivahihopeful]

Very excited about this video! Now, would you describe Black Milo as “savory.”?

[@jencordial]

Yes Black Milo is very much on the savory side of tomatoes.

[@user-yh6mj6hl2y]

Can never have enough Big Ben in a video!

[@jencordial]

That’s what everyone tells me and I completely agree.

[@jerrygrady8814]

Great list , a couple of those varieties I'm growing next year so I'm glad they got a good review from you all

[@jencordial]

I hope they grow you some delicious maters. ❤️

[@vickihalverson6328]

Loved this video, especially Kelly the hat!!, I'm sending you something ;its going out tomorrow in the mail. Keep your videos comin!

[@jencordial]

🤣🤣🤣 Kelly the hat. I’m sure you mean yellow but I like the name. Thank you for your kind words. ❤️

[@Mugsmaster]

Love your videos! Keep them coming. I myself am in Maryland. How far are you from MD?

[@jencordial]

Only 10 minutes. I’m in mineral county WV. And thank you for your kind comment. I’m glad you’re enjoying my content. 😊

[@Mugsmaster]

@@jencordialI especially love your tomato tasting. I have a list of tomatoes I want to try. I grow 20-25 plants with a few cherry tomatoes. I also grow other vegetables too. I’m attempting garlic and onions this year. I have an Aunt in Berkeley Springs. Have a great spring and growing season.

[@Mugsmaster]

I can’t seem to find his website. Do you have a link?

[@jencordial]

Whose website are you asking about?

[@Mugsmaster]

@@jencordial rare heirloom tomato

[@alfrancis8]

Maybe next year come up with a grading system for your taste test. Fun. Thanks for taking the time to do these

[@jencordial]

I know a friend of mine came up with one this year. Maybe I can borrow his because I think it was very thorough and it would be good to have it on record what got graded with what. I’ll definitely put this into action next year.

[@dr.greenthumb6535]

Jen, u Saif that's the only purple pigmented u adore? U need to retry Paul robeson.. omg smokey/robust flavor.. good vittles😅

[@jencordial]

I have tried Paul Robeson a couple years back. It is quite good.

[@alfrancis8]

Maybe do a cross of your fav and his fav.. see if you could make a fun project with that.

[@jencordial]

I’m definitely doing a bit of research on the subject. Of crossing Tomatoes. There’s still many more tomatoes I’d like to try before I’ve made my pick though.

[@vickihalverson6328]

Just noticed my post and its has a typo: its suppose to be his yellow hat! LOL!!

[@jencordial]

🤣🤣. Yes yellow hat works better. Ben says thank you. 😁

[@rachelgalus]

I don’t think black milo has enough gel for me. But Ive definitely added several of these to my list. So excited for next year. I’m not sure about anthos. I haven’t tried any.

[@klbbeeswillow]

Still trying to get the grandpa's heart variety too . Had to get Penny lane because that's my cat's name 💕 and got the Dipper's delight I think it's called 🍅🍅🍅

[@jencordial]

Yes. It’s unfortunately hard to get your hands on that Grandpas Heart. But where there’s a will there’s a way. 😁

[@yvettemeier7940]

I would like to have the starfighter series too.... I only have prime and VT 16...

[@jencordial]

I’ve traded for all the others. Still on the hunt for grandpas heart though. It’s been illusive 😊

[@richardmassey1555]

I have the vt-16 coming in the mail today and have the prime.

[@greenman5506]

What zone are you growing in?

[@jencordial]

I’m in 7a northeastern WV😊

[@rodolphfarah200]

Sorry, but the translation from French is wrong. It is Grand Pierre, not Grand Pere

[@jencordial]

Thank you for letting me know. 😁
