Tomatoes I am Growing For My Market Farm in 2023

[@joematty1353]

my favorite red Tomatoes are Crnkovic Yugoslavian and Villinger. Awesome Video!

[@joematty1353]

I thought i was only growing 10 varieties this year and ending up doing 42. Great video and Happy Gardening this year!

[@LOVETELinfo]

You are my FAVORIT tomato grower 😄. Never imagined that I would listened 40 mins to stuf like like this but I did. Good luck to you forever !

[@cindylopez4883]

I love black seaman. Its my second year growing it.

[@mcoverdale]

Here on the WA Coast Black Sea man produces early and lots!

[@artport7]

I had to come back to this one to finish watching... Turns out, I am growing most of these myself... My favorite tomato so far is Sun Gold... and who doesn't like that?? On a side note... You are so much fun to watch because of your great enthusiasm and joy of gardening... Your personality is so uplifting and you are so darn cute... You have an amazing future ahead of you.

[@honeytrailfarm]

thank you so much that is so kind!

[@Onniesprairiegarden]

Sorry for my 3rd comment here, haha! Oh gosh. Favorite tomato. I don't think I've grown enough varieties to have a favorite yet but so I'd say the Red Brandywine or Pink Brandywine. It's just got that awesome classic tomato flavor. It's meaty. It's creamy. It's just delicious. 🍅 I'm also trying Carbon for the first time this year.

[@roxannern9393]

2023 the Thornburn's Terra-Cotta was the best tasting tomato for fresh eating and sandwiches in the garden. The flavor was even better than the Cherokee Purple and Black Krim, 2 that always make the garden list. We were very surprised. We do grow Borage and Marigolds with our tomatoes. This year I am adding Basils also. Sungold is always the top cherry pick although, we have tried many cherry varieties. For sauce, we like the Jersey Devil, Orange Strawberry, Orange Oxheart and Giant Paste. We always grow Roma II also. We grew 152 tomato plants and countless varieties last year. Amazing how different the flavors and production can be. We are in E TN zone 7a.

You're living my dream! Just subscribed! Can't wait to follow your channel this season.

[@rebeccawatson9284]

Fun video! You're a hoot! I like Paul Robeson, Rosella, Barry's crazy cherry, and Isis candy cherries. Last year, I grew a giant beefsteak called Delicious, and it was!

[@kimlund5369]

evil olive is a very good cherry, it is bigger than a reg tomato, wait til you get a bit of orange color to it and that is when they are ripe. I love this one it is my favorite cherry type.

[@frontyardfoodwithgardenergray]

Okay so I came here from last year's video, and made a pit stop to grab yet MoRE varieties from Hand Me Down. Now I am having to think about another cattle panel and Yada Yada! LOL. So glad to have found you! I am excited about many of these varieties this year too. Greetings from TN and grow abundantly! - Tanya aka Gardener Gray

[@honeytrailfarm]

so glad I could enable a fellow tomato addict! haha

[@mrandmrstomatohead]

Coyote is my favorite tomato and we’ve grown it every year for 25 years! You will love it.

[@honeytrailfarm]

yay! im excited to try it!

[@mcoverdale]

Try little lucky. Bi color yellow red tomato. Amazing flavor and medium to large size perfect for Selling. Craig lehoulier creation and my favorite

[@chrisa6682]

New subscriber and I also have a seed addiction..especially tomatoes, beans and squash. I grow quite a few that you've mentioned here including Silvery Fir Tree. I agree that the flavor is so-so but in my northern area it is the very first tomato to ripen every year so it is a favorite. I grow the determinates in half barrels on my deck and the indeterminate tomatoes in the garden. Loved this episode and I will check out the rest of your channel. Edited to add my fav tomato which is difficult so I have 2..lol. Purple Russian paste tomato because it's purple and juicy...Marglobe Supreme because it's red and perfect looking with great taste...and so many others that you have already mentioned😊

[@zoltanolah9812]

The Lucky Tiger/Green Tiger is one of the most yummy cherry tomatoes i've ever tasted. You'll see.

[@rachelj4970]

My favorite green tomato is chefs choice green. Favorite cherry is sungold and firefly. Favorite beefy tomatoes are Kelloggs breakfast and pineapple. I am green with envy about all your varieties!

[@honeytrailfarm]

I've never heard of chefs choice green! I'll have to try that one for sure!

[@normagaribay7631]

So I moved from California to jeffersonville in and was looking on how to grow here in Indiana since climate and growing days are so different, and I enjoyed watching your video. I love love love tomatoe so much people put a tomato emoji for my contact picture. Definitely going to follow you

[@Euphoniax1]

Black cherry is my fav, so tasty and pretty

[@alysiagregg133]

MO Pink Love Apple and Virginia Sweets are 2 of my favorites. Watermelon and Abe Lincoln are 2 classic tomatoes that do well for me in middle TN. My garden would not be complete without Sun Gold . Trying black sea man for the 3rd year...nothing so far. 😝 Have fun with all of your new varieties. Can't wait to hear about which ones become favorites. Hope you have help pruning and tying those. 🙂

[@frontyardfoodwithgardenergray]

Hey I am in Mid TN too! Howdy neighbor

[@charlesmurschell3110]

My favorite red is Big Boy, great tasting on a sandwich and Early Girl because they are indeed the first to ripen. I am going to try the Sungold next year because you said so. Have a good weekend Kim. BTW I garden in New Jersey, the garden state.

[@douglassullivan9684]

Abe Lincoln 1923 is my favorite beefsteak. Indiana Red is a great oxheart and Orange Russian 117 is my favorite bi color oxheart! Also Romeo and Santa Maria are good paste ones. I'm in Indiana and get a lot of seeds from a guy a few hours from me who sells some great varieties.

[@honeytrailfarm]

I will have to try those! And I have to have Indiana Red bc duh, Indiana! lol

[@rachelgalus]

Sooo many tomatoes! You’re growing almost all of my favorites! Super sweet 100 (open pollinated version), ambrosia gold (similar to sun gold), rosella (like black cherry but a little smaller and brighter color), orange peach (similar to wapsipinican), Granny Cantrell (I love love, my strain is a dark pink), Ananas Noire, Virginia Sweets, Gary osena, Black Sea man (also a determinate). I always grow some reds and paste and hybrids… but meh they’re fine.

[@honeytrailfarm]

I definitely need to try super sweet 100 bc everyone seems to love that one!

[@zwischenzeichen]

i recommend copper river (terracotta colored slicer and what a beauty inside!), sunviva (resistant orange cherry with a extremly high yield), rosa oma (german for "pink grandma" - it melts in your mouth!) and last but not least sibirian tiger (beautiful and supersweet beefsteak). greetings from berlin, germany!

[@honeytrailfarm]

how cool! thanks for the recommendations!

[@snipercat1123]

I think we are best friends now 😹 I am growing almost all the same, or if I’m not it is on my wishlist for next year. All but 3 varieties are new to me this year

[@honeytrailfarm]

yes! we should totally be best friends! lol

[@hellokimmy68]

Cherokee Purple was so named because of a translation of the Native American word describing a bruise. I wonder if growing it in a different location could be the secret. I've grown it in NC and TN, not too far from where it was first discovered and it's consistently one of the tastiest tomatoes I've ever had.

[@honeytrailfarm]

now that's a fun fact!

[@ambermacmurtry7884]

I am also a Tomato enthusiast to the tune of 367 seed varieties (at the moment) in my collection & I agree that Paste tomatoes are boring and not my favorite at all--but I highly recommend Cream Sausage as something different. It tastes sweeter than a Roma with some tropical undertones & makes a gorgeous creamy yellow sauce.

[@honeytrailfarm]

ohhh I gotta try that one next year!

[@Onniesprairiegarden]

The black beauty part! 😂

[@amytran2536]

I’ve grown tropical sunset but not sunrise bumblebee so I’m not sure how they compare. Tropical sunset had this lovely iridescence to the skin and orangey pink stripes. Super pretty but the skin was a little thick for me and the taste was a little more on the tangy fruity side than sweet. I grew it in a 7 gal grow bag though and it did pretty well.

[@ballymullinfarm]

I’m so jealous of all the varieties you have there. We hardly have any varieties here in New Zealand. 😢

[@honeytrailfarm]

I wonder how hard it would be to ship tomato seeds?! 🤔

[@ballymullinfarm]

We have really strict bio security rules here to protect our native birds and plant species. I’m pretty sure we have a list of seeds we are allowed and if seed companies want to bring in new varieties they have to go through a big process to have them approved.

[@lisaannef]

Haha ... love my boring tomatoes like the old guys. I laughed ... just roma and beefsteak for me but I'm just in my second year of garden life :) and we don't seem to have as many interesting seeds here in Ontario.

[@honeytrailfarm]

omg you sound like my grandpa! he always asks if I have Romas and takes a big bite out of it like an apple haha

[@dannyfullbright1049]

For me the best tomatoes are big boy or better boy. I have tried others but these are best tasting.

[@ricardawenzel8531]

If you like Tomatos that look pretty on the Inside you have to grow Zlatava. Its orange on the outside and Red on the inside, it looks like a Grapefruit. Love your Videos! Greetings from Germany😊

[@honeytrailfarm]

ohhh that sounds fun I will have to try it!

[@kcjilly2515]

I enjoyed the video and I am curious which full size tomatoes you have found to be strongly acidic? I’m personally a fan of acidic punch and yet I have found very little that meet that criteria. I would love your input. Thanks for your time… and the videos

[@honeytrailfarm]

hmmm im not sure to be honest. green zebra is acidic but its more of a medium sized tomato!

[@kcjilly2515]

Well, that’s a start. I will have to give it a try. Thank you.

[@artport7]

Coyote cherry tomato is a small, pale yellow tomato that produces a TON of tomatoes that are actually sweeter than Sun Gold, if you can believe that, BUT they are so mild that you might think you are eating a grape... Only problem is the skins are so thin that they split really easy... so they will not be easy to collect for the farmers market.

[@honeytrailfarm]

ahhh the ones that split drive me crazy! maybe I'll throw one plant in the tunnel and see how it does

[@dcsblessedbees]

You are going to have more tomatoes then you know what to do with. Blessed Days...

[@honeytrailfarm]

hopefully sell them! ha

[@workingmansrevolution]

Can I ask what your winters are like? What growing zone are you in?

[@honeytrailfarm]

Crappy and cold! haha, zone 5b/6a

[@workingmansrevolution]

@@honeytrailfarm Thank you. I’m in 4-5.

[@cherylwilson716]

My top 5 1. Ananas Noire- beautiful and unique flavor 2. Dr. Wyche - flavor. Love that sweet flavor. It was cultivated a couple of towns over from me. 3. Black of Tula- very prolific, disease resistant, and all the black tomato qualities 4. Paul Robeson- just another great black tomato 5. Green Giant - huge, sweet, earthy Green when ripe tomato

[@beverlycharles6534]

Of these you mentioned which ones are prolific &/or high production w enough disease resistance to end the season with a good quantity and can handle hi summer temps? Blk from Tula!?

[@beverlycharles6534]

I am looking for a good reliable red or pink slicer. My tentative slicer list for spring'24 includes: 1) Blk Krim, 2) Brandywine Yellow, 3) Hillbilly 4) Big Rainbow 5) Cherokee Carbon OR Cherokee Purple, I have room for 2 more tomato plants, I would love to add a potato leaf or 2 --- red or pink, but most important is taste and production and that it be very different taste than what's on list. Idk Maybe thinking Better Boy or Pink TieDye or German Johnson.

@@beverlycharles6534Pink Berkley Tie Dye is one of those I recommend then for sure.

Holly moly that's a lot you got your work cut out for you I'm only growing 34 varieties and thought I was growing a lot already started all of mine almost 700 tomato plants and 300 peppers but of course I sell the majority keep maybe 25 to 30 tomatoes and the same for peppers only 11 varieties of peppers. OH and I'm with you on the old farmers only wanting red tomatoes I agree boring I do like some red but prefer the orange and yellow and of course Ananas Noire is on the top of my list for large tomatoes and sun gold and sun peach are 1a and1b for cherries

[@honeytrailfarm]

yeah I start a lot too for seedling sales! but this year I am also hoarding a lot for myself haha. I need to try sun peach!

[@TOPMOSTPOP]

Th2 tomatoes I most excited about. Dwarf Eagle Smiley: Smiley = golf ball size (larger cherry tomatoes are my go2) super productive "most compareable 2SUNGOLD" (worlds best tomato flavorwise, unanimously) Smiley = Craig Lehoullier's Dwarf T.P. best cherry effort. ..crossed with Mexico Midget wild tomato = strong durable qualities high sugar. (Wild tomatoes have special sweetness gene others lack, & its 2nd parent = Green Giant / original early ripening "most productive per acre/earliest" dwarf that was released turn of thcentury. Yellow color repells birds "sweet tangy intense refreshing..." Sungold hallmark is also its super sweet with citrusy zing. Smiley = open pollinated "very compareable" 2Sungold" so u can save seed. Sungold, developed in Japan from secret varieties, u cant save seed. Garden people are so dffrnt they like little fairies portaled in from heaven. I get all kinds appreciative notes free seeds& thank you's. I got free packet Amazon Chocolate "exceedingly rare tomato" (according 2google.) FORTY seeds. Look at the care& quality packaging. Photo Amazon Chocolate tomato sellers page... So I thought was probably just mediocre tomato. This reviewer You Tube has grown many varieties he says he will never not gro this again. Seller states: The plants are quite large and bushy with great heat tolerance and better disease resistance than most heirlooms. They produce large chocolate bronze colored fruits that can weigh up to 1 pound. The fruit matures in 80 days from transplant so the seeds should be started 4-7 weeks before your last expected frost. My original seed stock is from the Ukraine. If you are looking for a great slicer the Amazon's take a backseat to nothing. The fruits have that old time flavor that is deeply rich and sweet with hints of red wine. These are delicious and are in a select group at the very top, I can't imagine not always growing them.

[@TOPMOSTPOP]

We helped design the biblical eden. So, you wont be hearing any interviews from me. Satan wont allow it & 95% humans are his tare race. Computer controlled. Craig Lehoullier doing it all wrong. When cmpared 2my system. I do like that he and I nearly identical in many respects. My very 1st garden, 1986, i subbed no book. I employed a method based on simple IQ instead. I arrived where Paul Gautschi had spent a lifetime only 2finally discover. I grew scallion bulbs soccer ball size & 17 foot tomatoes. Not1 person of thousands has yet ask me how I did it?? I really only planted 5 vegetable gardens since. I live on a 100 tree food forest Wister Lake. I specialize in wild food forests & coined thterm on a 15 year project Mt. Above Azusa California long ago. Now days i just throw wild seeds road side on an E-Bike where most of my wild foods are now collected. I harvest 38lbs wild tomatoe (ground cherry) in 5hours 1 spot roadside. They keep 4 to 6 months in winter. Lucifer IMMEDIATELY placed a railroad tie replacement plant that spot 2poison thsoil bcuz some spots on earth are miraculously blessed. He HATES free food. All roadside mowers& tractors are Satans kids. In heaven, roadsides are where all th food grows. When your solar system was heaven, earths name was SHAN. It was all fruit trees. I was friends with Yahwehs daughter Shazzerazi. When she was here on earth. She created earth from Yah's creation room on Saturn. Jesus created Venus, Satan was his elder brother. His planet became your asteroid belt in thwar. 14 kids =14 pkanets 2boy Jesus & Halayel. Planets are considered houses in heaven. They are hollow angels live inside. My point is a local told me she used 2pick buckets wild fruit. Now there is none. 95% humans are plasticines. Computer controlled by Satan. They trim all our roadsides & teach people mow they lawns2 DESTROY soil. My water table 7ft. With huge lush weeds. Average is now 330 ft. Mowers also annihilate bees. No flowers. Now, i planted vegetables again. In 5 minutes I design world lead garden system. I line chickenwire vases with leaves. Cut 24" x 32" = 20" tall pot. Plant tomato 1 gallon, add soil up stem to top as plant gro. U get hige dynamite shaped taproot. Roots then explode beneath vase if u mulch there2 I just knock over vase roots go thru sides. Blanket prostrate plants fall extend season. Mobile vases& watering saturates sides, u can dip them in water or catch all water re use salvage loss nutrients. I rot ANY green weeds in water 4fertilzer. Those are thbasics. Interview? Any humans out there???
