Taste Test: Tomatoes #1

In this video I am doing a taste test on 4 varieties of new tomatoes I'm growing this year. I'm on a mission to find my favorite tomatoes. Paul Robeson is my absolute favorite variety.

I forgot to mention that GtJr Grows It Alaska started a challenge name #paulrobeson2024 #paulrobeson and this is my first taste test for tomatoes including Paul Robeson. I LOVE PAUL ROBESON TOMATOES! 😊😊😉😉💕💕

[@ChristinesBackyardGarden]

Hi Lisa! So, after watching this video, I still dont know how you feel about the Paul Robeson.😂😂😂 I'm going to have to give it a try next year.

[@gardeningwithlisa]

🤣🤣🤣 Try it Christine!! 😂😂😂

[@HealthyLivingWithWendy]

Every last one of the tomatoes is inviting. Thanks for sharing.❤💚😊

[@gardeningwithlisa]

Yes they are! I like the Cherokee Purple and Paul Robeson the best! 😊😊

[@wandagreen4330]

I must get me some of those Paul Robeson tomatos!

[@gardeningwithlisa]

Try it!! 😊😊

[@containingmygarden]

Good morning Lisa, I'm here taking notes. I haven't grown any of these. TFS

[@gardeningwithlisa]

Thank you for stopping by! 😊😊

💕💕💕

[@GodsDesire4me]

Hey Lisa. My Paul Robeson aren’t getting as big as yours but I will definitely keep it in my tomato’s to grow. Thanks for sharing ❤😊

[@gardeningwithlisa]

Yes do that. It may grow well next year! Thanks for watching!! 😊😊💕💕

[@ClausenWorld]

I’ve never eaten any of those tomatoes. I usually grow Roma or San Marzano. Thanks for sharing.😊🍅

[@gardeningwithlisa]

I have San Marzano growing too. I'm growing it to make tomato sauce and pasta sauce. I'm growing one call Orange Icicle paste tomato too. But I won't do a taste test on those though. I been soooo busy at work 🤨🤨 My sister has some seeds for you. Email me an address and I'll get them too you. Thanks my friend!! 😊😊

[@susanok2264]

Lisa, I grow Black Krim instead of Paul Robeson because for me in California, I get a good harvest....and they are delicious. Paul Robeson only gave me a few delicious tomatoes and died. Could be due to our climate here. But since I only have a small space, need a tomato that does well for me. Love your tasting videos.😊

[@gardeningwithlisa]

Oh ok, I totally understand! Black Krim is good, and I am getting a lot of them. I have a bunch of Paul Robeson too, but they are still green! 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ Come back again, I'll be doing more taste tests. I have several more tomatoes to taste. I want at least 3 or 4 favorite tomatoes. 😉😉😉 Thank you for watching!!

[@di_7413]

Thanks for sharing, Ms Lisa 🌱💯📌

[@gardeningwithlisa]

Thank you for watching!! See ya next time!! 😉😉

[@gwencalloway4808]

Good morning Lisa,I will definitely be trying Paul Robeson next year.Tfs❤

[@gardeningwithlisa]

I think you might like it! My sister does not eat tomatoes but she like Paul Robeson. Thanks for visiting!! 😊😊

[@ArtemisRiver]

I am going to have to try that Paul Robeson, maybe next year. My two favorite dark tomatoes right now or Cherokee purple and carbon. Can’t wait for mine to be ready. I am growing a few new varieties this year, the one I’m most curious to try is the anana noire (it’s not a dark one).

[@gardeningwithlisa]

Oh ok!! I'm growing Carbon too. I'll try it maybe next taste test. I have growing Carbon, Kellogg's Breakfast, Black Brandywine, Black Beauty, Pineapple, and Box Car Willie. I'll be tasting watermelon and cantaloupe too. Thanks for watching!!

[@sylvialyles919]

❤Looks so delicious Lisa❤

[@gardeningwithlisa]

Thanks for watching!! 😊😊💕💕

[@lindamiller394]

You are making my mouth water.😊 they sure look good. Next year when I can garden better I need to try Paul Roberson. Take care.

[@gardeningwithlisa]

Yes ma'am you do!! 😊💕

[@joycehennequin8469]

Thankyou Lisa, this was very helpful for the future,you pick my two favourite tomatoes.lve heard the Keloggs Breakfast is a good one to.

[@gardeningwithlisa]

I’m having fun growing and testing tomatoes! 😊😊😊. I hope you all are doing well Dear Friend!! Happy gardening!! 🌷🪴🌻🌹🫶🏽🫶🏽😊

[@GtJrGrowsItAlaska]

#PaulRobeson2024 for the win. Great taste test. Glad you made the Comparison. I cant wait to taste my first Paul Robeson. Thanks for sharing

[@gardeningwithlisa]

You will love it!! I think it being so dark is what makes it good! The Black Krim wasn’t as dark and it almost taste like it’s not ripe. 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

[@palmsandsand]

Yellow Brandywines are my favorite, if I can truly have one as someone who barely likes tomatoes. They are meaty and savory. Have you tried the chefs choice pink? Those are sweet and slightly acidic.

[@gardeningwithlisa]

I grew that one from your suggestion last year! 😊😊 I like it! I never had the Chefs Choice pink. Is it good? Next taste test will include Black Brandywine and Kelloggs Breakfast. I will post it later this week or the weekend. Do you like the big tomatoes? You will love the Kellog's Breakfast. It's yellow like the Yellow Brandywine, but it's huge! But, it's not acidic like the red tomatoes. Thanks for watching Ms Ebony! Always good to chat with you!! 😊😊

[@MartinAndersonSatanSon]

Healthiest taste test I've seen in a while👍

[@gardeningwithlisa]

Thank you for watching!

[@jacquelinejenkins8]

Hi Lisa I must try that Paul Roberson next time. Look said it's the best of the taste test. See you next time. Be safe ❤❤😊

[@gardeningwithlisa]

I will grow it every year! 😊😊

[@Amarie1961]

I bought Paul Robeson seeds based on your recommendation. I didn't get to grow start any big tomatoes this year, but I'm looking forward to trying them.

[@gardeningwithlisa]

They are good! 😊😊. Thank you for stopping by!!

[@Peaches2Plums]

❤❤I grew 8 vierieties. Cherokee purple was one, I need to find seeds for the Paul Roberson 😅

[@gardeningwithlisa]

I have 2 growing in 2 big pots. I'll be saving the seeds from those plants because they won't be cross pollenated. I'll send you some seeds it you want. Email me your address. Thank you for watching!!

[@Peaches2Plums]

@@gardeningwithlisa Will do, Thanks Lisa😊

[@jinga2535]

I grew a black krim by accident this year, it was mislabeled at the plant swap, and it actually handled the humidity and bugs as well as the hybrids. I really liked the flavor compared to a red tomato. I might try Paul Robeson next year and see how it holds up. I am interested to taste one 👍

[@gardeningwithlisa]

I love the taste of those like dark tomatoes. My Paul Robeson doesn't seem to handle heat well, but it produces an unbelievable amount of tomatoes and then it dies! 😒😒 But, Paul Robeson tomatoes are the best tasting tomatoes of them all to me!!! I also like the Cherokee Purple and Black Brandywine. Those two gets real close to the PR in taste more than Black Krim. I guess the darker the tomato, the better the taste. Darker tomatoes, like black, brown, and purple varieties, are more nutritious than lighter tomatoes because they contain higher levels of lycopene, vitamin A, vitamin C, and potassium. They are considered as Super Foods. Ms Linda, TNOG said it in one of her Lives and I read it!

[@lionness_simsima5941]

Hi there, hope all is well great 😊 sharing. Must say I am new here

[@gardeningwithlisa]

Welcome welcome welcome!!! I am so glad you stopped by! Come back anytime, I'm always doing something!! I hope to see you back real soon!! 😊😊

[@delphine88313]

My taste buds are shot from over salting everything from my youth up until a few years ago.I know what tastes good and nasty, but I can't pull out the distinct favors like most people .❤ I think I have these tomatoe seeds and have grown them, but I'm not into tomatoes like that 😅.I did freeze different ones to attempt to make sauces soon.

[@gardeningwithlisa]

Thank you for watching!

[@sandracole6492]

They look good!!! I’m not sure which ones you gave me but they all were soo good. I ate the little cherry tomatoes on the way home. I had to make myself stop.😂😂😂 D-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s !!!

[@gardeningwithlisa]

😂😂😂 I am glad you enjoyed them. We gave the neighbor some yesterday and we are taking more to family later. We can't eat them all! We will bring more to church. Thank you for watching!! 💕💕🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@sandracole6492]

@@gardeningwithlisa Yes! I’m excited! 😊

[@keyphabenyisrael3219]

I like to grow a lot of different tomato varieties because I find that every year different ones seem to do really well while others do more poorly than past years. Cherokee Purple is so good, but it is very crack prone in my garden. Paul Robeson is my favorite smoky dark type tomato, but I wish my fruit would get as big as my Mortgage Lifter & delicious fruit get!

[@gardeningwithlisa]

Oh wow! I didn't know that about the Cherokee Purple. I was going to get the Mortgage Lifter variety as well, but I already had so many I didn't know where I was going to grow all these tomatoes. Maybe next year. I still have Black Brandywine, Box Car Willie, Carbon, Pineapple, Black Beauty, and Kellogg's Breakfast. I think that's all of them. 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ I'm not going to test the paste tomatoes. Why does your Paul Robeson not produce a bigger fruit? Mine don't that big. Some are bigger than others. I have 2 Box Car Willie tomatoes out there bigger than a softball! 😉

[@keyphabenyisrael3219]

@@gardeningwithlisa I don't know why my Paul Robeson tend to be less productive & produce smaller fruit than say Cherokee Purple, but it grows well enough for me to keep growing it, I've grown (or tried to grow) 5 tomato varieties since I started gardening: Delicious Striped Green Zebra Speckled Roman Cherokee Purple Paul Robeson

[@altheamcdougal1327]

Hi Lisa, I've been trying to grow the Paul Robeson Tomato for two years with no success, is there a trick to getting them to grow? Do they prefer being on the drier side? I'm at a loss here, any pointers would help, thanks 😊🌺

[@gardeningwithlisa]

Hello! I grow it like all the others. Now, I'm noticing different things about it. I won't live that long. It will produce a million tomatoes, but it will not grow that long. I've lost 2 plants already. The last one had tons of green tomatoes on it. I guess it work so hard producing tomatoes, then it gives up and die! 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

[@tomatoespoppieseverything]

I am not happy with the two Black Krim I've eaten so far this year. Too mushy/mealy and not as much flavor as PR or CP.

[@gardeningwithlisa]

You are so right!! It's not much flavor! After you taste the others, Black Krim is just not that good. I don't think I will grow it again! Thank you for watching!! 😊😊

[@G.W.H.]

[@gardeningwithlisa]

Thank you for watching!! 😊😊

[@BagsBucketsandBins]

I got some Paul Robeson sprouting up as we speak, you think it’s too late to transplant maybe next week? i’m in 6b

[@gardeningwithlisa]

Are they inside? If so, I’d harden them off and then transplant. Paul Robeson is an Indeterminate tomato plant and it will grow all the way until the cold and freeze comes. 😊

[@BagsBucketsandBins]

@@gardeningwithlisa ok thank you, they’re sprouting outside in a planter cup, just seedlings right now.

[@gardeningwithlisa]

@@BagsBucketsandBins When they get big enough, then you can transplant them.
