The Ultimate Tomato Taste Test Showdown: Heirloom vs Hybrid! || Tomato Taste Test Video 2024

[@Airboat-Fun]

I`m so happy, finally a tomato taste video! Brillant!

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

I'm glad you enjoyed the tomato taste video! It's always fun to explore the flavours of our favourite foods!

[@KenHJones]

That's a great survey of your tomatoes. Sungold is my top one for taste. I also have some bright yellow ones that are as good but I've lost the packet so I'm not sure what they are. All the best to you both and keep them coming.

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

Thank you for sharing your favourite Ken! Sungold really is a standout. If you ever find out what those bright yellow ones are, let us know!

[@wales123100]

Despite all the new stuff out there i dont think you can beat the moneymaker and gardeners delight combo

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

I totally agree! The Moneymaker and Gardeners Delight combo has stood the test of time for a reason. It's hard to beat those classic flavours!

The Couer De Boeuf look great! Definitely one I might try next year - I do love a fleshy sweet tomato. For me this year the Red Alert cherry tomatoes were surprisingly good and cropped very heavily. The best tasting I've ever tried was probably the Marmande.

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

Thank you for sharing your experience with the tomatoes! It's great to hear that the Red Alert variety worked out well for you. I hope the Couer De Boeuf brings you even more deliciousness next year!

Lots of tomatoes there, all.of. them looked amazing. Didn't realise it was that simple to make a pasta sauce. Might try it next year. Great video

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

[@petewestlake8564]

I’ve got outdoor girl growing on my plot. I missed tumbling toms due to building my poly at the time they needed to go in. Low yields so far this year. Grandchildren love a yellow Tom so I grow Sungold for them. I’ve made some salsa with a glut of tomatoes and my peppers and onions. Oh I’ve acquired a dehydrator too. It came from a free cycle site I shall be looking forward to drying my veg along with you. Thanks as always Pete

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

It sounds like you’ve got quite the garden project going on! Sungold tomatoes are a fantastic choice for the little ones. I’m sure the salsa turned out delicious-nothing beats homegrown ingredients! Pretty sure the dehydrator will feature at some point!

[@alantaggart51]

Great show well done

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

[@frosty6297]

I enjoyed growing Cuor di Bue - superb tom. Have you tried growing any of the 'Brandywine's'? I tried the Pink Brandywine last year outdoors (stupidly) so nothing ripened, trying again this year in the conservatory... hoping for a nice cooking/sandwich tom! Nice to see someone who loves toms as much as I do!

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

Thank you for sharing your gardening journey! It’s always great to connect with fellow tomato enthusiasts. I hope this year's Brandywine brings you the delicious results you're looking for! I shall look out for the variety - thanks for sharing!

[@mariadaltonshaw7755]

Great video good to see Mrs W, will certainly be trying some new varieties next year

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Mrs. W always brings such great insights. Excited to hear which new varieties you decide to try!

[@franksinatra1070]

I agree with Mrs W, they are all good. Amd what a wonderful easy to make pasta sauce! I grow a nice cooking variety called Stripped Roman. They are very large and meaty which makes them easier to work with than the San Marzanos. I also like a variety called Purple Cherokee for my tomato slads in the summer. They are an heirlom and not the prettiest tomato but loaded with taste. But mostly I grow Early Girls because they ripen early as the name suggests and hold up well in the fall when the nights get cool extending my season for up to 5 months counting the ones picked green and allowed to ripen inside.

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

Hi Frank, I hope you had a great vacation! The varieties you grow sound amazing. Purple Cherokee may not be the prettiest, but I always remember the old proverb to never judge a book by it's cover. Great tip for extending the season, thanks for sharing - how do you ripen yours inside?

[@blackrabbit6265]

For those in the UK (on this date), Homebase has a half price sale on all seeds. Picked up Mr Fothergills Super Sauce F1, Red cherry and Gardeners delight.

All my tomatoes are outside grown as I have a sheltered back garden. This year I have grown sungold for the first time they're by far the sweetest tomato I have ever grown and so prolific. I am also growing St Pierre beefsteak toms some are huge but not quite ripe yet so fingers crossed.

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

It sounds like you're having an amazing gardening season! Sungold tomatoes are such a delicious choice. Good luck with the St Pierre beefsteaks; I hope they ripen beautifully!

[@helenstewart2085]

You can pulp tomatoes with a stick blender from raw, place a cupful into a sandwich bag, freeze flat, can make soup, add to pasta dishes or whatever.

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

Love that idea! Freezing them like that makes it so easy for last-minute meals. You're a kitchen genius! 🍅✨

My market more cucumbers have taken a long time, even with 1 growing it’s taken ages to grow and still not big enough to harvest but there is also more now coming finally . I was told it was a great choice but not seeing it myself

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

Thank you for sharing your experience! I completely understand the struggle, and it's great to know I’m not alone in this gardening journey. Market Moor is usually a prolific harvester, but even ours have struggled this year. Here’s to hoping for a bountiful harvest soon!

[@mandytaylor1008]

Lovely sauce mrs w I save the empty Mayo or ketchup squeezey bottles to put my sauce in. I drizzle with olive oil and add basil and other fresh herbs like parsley and put in liquidizer. I also ad a spoonful of sugar to take away any acidity

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

That sounds like a fantastic way to repurpose those bottles! Your sauce combination with fresh herbs and a touch of sugar must be delicious!

They are planted 5 to 6" apart Martyn at the foot of the vertical upright of the cattle fencing

[@bewoodford2807]

U grow Coeur de Boef because it is usually seedless and i am intolerant to tomato seeds. I don't really care much for the flavour- I find it bland and i don't like the texture, which i find pasty but haven't found any tomato to date that is equally as seedless. I grow honeycomb, gardener's delight, and sun cherry or my hubster. I would love to be able to eat those varieties for their sweetness and tang, but alas too many seeds. I will ry the super sauce next year.I always make red and green tomato chutney yearly. I also sun dry and make passata. With so many yomatoes it is a very buey time of year. After pushing pounds of tomatoes through a sieve I treated myself to a mechanical passata machine from Franchi seeds. It will definitely make the task much quicker- and less messy. I found the machine useful earlier on, in making redcurrant jelly too. Happy harvesting 🙂

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

It's great to hear about your gardening journey! Coeur de Boef is a solid choice for seedless options. Your passion for making chutney and passata sounds delightful. Your dedication to finding the right tomato varieties is inspiring. Mrs W too has a passata strainer very handy for making passata more quickly. Happy harvesting!

Good evening Barry and Mrs w been at Allotment picked lots of tomatoes 🍅 them Ukrainian purple Tom's you were asking about Barry were meatey and smooth tasting I had butchers blood crimson crush alicante Shirley's yellow black cherry i am like Mrs w like all tomatoes 🍅 and about six colyflowers and broccoli about eight to and beetroot picked them will be putting garden delight the other half likes them.

Hi mr and Mrs W toms are all we have grown really in the poly at plot and stanley has been looking after them but I have a 10’ long bed about 30” wide and I have grown so much in that bed and lots of toms they are very tall about 10’ and they all have so many trusses with about 14-16 toms on each vine I have always grown outdoor toms but these are the best ever in grown that’s never. Grown anything b4 I have runner beans climbing the fence that were sown very late and I am now getting flowers. I have harvested a cucumber too. I am so happy I could grow something here at my daughters. Black cherry and sweet millions and honeycomb are the best sweet tasting ones we think. But costeluto di Parma our our fave cooking or sauce tomato they have a lovely flavour and are brilliant for sauces and prolific. Roma we find best for passata more prolific than san max Arno. My dad would always grow Shirley outside in a growbag and I have never seen so many toms really big ones too on one plant I was always astonished. He was still growing them in his late 90’s take care 👋🏻

Same here, like growing but soon get feed up with eating them. Like Mrs W pasta sauce though.

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

The thing is when we get to the winter and there are no toms that's when you miss them, but by making Mrs W's tomato sauce you can enjoy that flavour once again - do give it a go and let us know what you think!
