Walking Through My Tomato Jungle and Saving Seeds

[@GlacialRidgeHomestead]

How do you only have 3000 subscribers?? Your channel will be big. Don’t ever give up!!

[@donaldfitzgerald8950]

You're vids are awesome, being an old-timer I used to love gardening & the art of growing each variety, plus saving their seeds .... you're a wealth of knowledge & skills! Thanks for taking me back & sharing it all with the beginners, keep it happening you'll blossom in followers....🌶️🌼✌️🤠

[@katrinagarland5219]

You crack me up... I just found your channel this week and am loving it. Can't believe you don't have more followers. Keep it up... once people watch you they will keep coming back. You are hilarious and very informative!

[@ghrohrs2020]

I love beautiful, intelligent gardeners, especially ones with adorable, subtle, southern accents. Did I already say beautiful? 😘 Green eyes, olive skin, brunette locks... ponytails? I'm smitten. You've got a new fan in central NY. You actually remind me of a young Terri Garr, one of my favorite actors: Black Stallion, Young Frankenstein, Close Encounters, etc.

[@blauer2551]

Cherokee Purple is my favorite so far and they do well in my climate zone.

[@rpfl5586]

Thats a good one! Try black beauty, white tomisol, mortgage lifter. I went from 15 varieties to 5or6 and these made the cut. With cherokee purples.

[@joematty1353]

Thanks for the tip on getting the seeds cleaned! 🙂🍅

[@fabonline9389]

When I was in college we were taught to remove the germination inhibitor on the tomato seeds by gently rubbing them on a screen and rinsing. Your method is great if you don't have much time or a lot of seeds. Thank you for the extremely in depth tour of your tomato varieties. I used to eat a lot more of them before I started reducing my oxalate intake. Cherry tomatoes have the least amount so they are my go-to tomato now.

[@ChrisMusante]

Thanks. Now I have to Google oxalates. 🤷‍♂️

[@everyday_treasures]

First time watcher! Great video!

[@wildflowerprepper7337]

I love the Brandywines. Family favorite is Aunt Ruby German Green. We had Black Krim tonight. Husband kids and Grandkids loved it. I pick Mortgage Lifters tonight for family dinner this weekend. We live in Michigan. My 11 year old Grand daughter pick sweet 100's today. I think a 1/4 of them made it to the house. She ate the rest lol.

[@brianczuhai8909]

Thanks for your Tomato variety tour. I love toms and pickles. Onions are fun. I play with okra. My #1 to always grow, or only grow, is mortgage lifter. RELIABLE, never ending, fruits are good. #2, Brandy wines. Delicious. #3 is Burpee Madame Maremades. Some French variety. Silky insides. My #1 on most delicious tomato. Medium to extra large on size. Beefsteak type. I go for meaty, low voids/seed pockets, FLAVOR.

[@asc3998]

This is the first video I've seen of yours I believe. Man can I relate! Great intentions in the garden, but I have tomatoes laying on the ground right now. The plants have just folded over. As far as being scattered, messy, losing things... I can totally relate. Thanks for this video, it feels good not to be the only scattered person.

[@tahtahbangbang]

You are hilarious and a delight to watch! Thankful your channel made it to me. 😊

[@amy3458]

I subscribed when you said tomatoes are your love language! We. Are. Sisters. 🤗

[@robcoker-hw9hy]

You’re so blessed to have 2 ponie tails my wife has cancer and misses her hair.

[@chrxmeface]

Get her on some Fenbendazole, Apricot Seeds, and Chaga Mushroom tea ASAP

[@gardenfunwithjane4897]

Thank you for a great video. New-ish subscriber here. I love tomatoes. Thanks for all the varieties. If you get more time I would love to see the other varieties. I have to plant that pink jazz and orange jazz they are so pretty. One that is similar that I have planted with the pretty stripes is called vintage wine. And delicious flavor too. I have lots of tomato videos on my channel also. I'm obsessed over tomatoes. Love your videos and your channel. Also your hair is gorgeous.

[@honeytrailfarm]

I need to try orange jazz bc I liked pink jazz so much! I have planted vintage wine before but it cracked awfully bad at my place...might try again though bc it really is beautiful!

[@joshuasjericho3915]

[@leejohnson5779]

Just subscribed, only came across your channel whilst watching similar videos.. already a big fan, what your doing is amazing, wish I had your life style, from UK ❤

[@tzarnick1507]

I love this girl she is such a cutie

[@ClassicAlberto]

You have a new subscriber, greetings from Spain, keep it up!

[@danpatrick5414]

So my analysis of your videos: You are drop dead beautiful. Your eyes are so full of life and you are what I call natural at the gab. What I have learned is that if you like tomatoes, eat a lot of different varieties, you become very beautiful and slightly untidy. Hey... I'm okay with that. Love your channel so I subscribed. Learned a lot.

[@gardenfunwithjane4897]

Oh and isn't life always chaos? Haha. I have 5 children. 4 are teens now and my youngest is almost double digits. You are doing amazing with your load. Stay positive. You've got this ❤

[@DugEphresh]

Love those huge heirloom sandwich tomatoes!

[@eileengriffiths8729]

❤ your channel. I use coffee filters to store my seeds after washing. You have a great assortment of tomatoes.

[@semperfi6801]

@honeytrailfarm Hahahahaha! You are just as scatter-brained as I have been my whole life! LOL, hahaha. That story of your picking up "organized chaos" and losing things is absolutely funny because I thought I was the only one. By chance, you're not an Aries? LOL. Your video on tomatoes is amazing, as are all of your gardening videos. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge and, most importantly, your passion for absolutely everything you do. Reminds me of my grandparents and their love of growing, harvesting, preserving. My goal and eventual plan is for my wife and to do something similar but on a smaller scale in the foothills of NC. Please continue to produce great videos like this one. Thank you.

[@victtoriaashley13]

Just found your channel and I am already obsessed!

[@joshreelie4107]

It's very interesting to hear that you are having the same problem with the seed companies mixing up seed varieties. I have a total grab bag this year. I will save seeds from the good ones. I just found your channel. It is fantastic. Thank you for making such great videos!

[@joanneth4919]

Great video. There is a reason some of us grow the orange and yellow toms. We have acid reflux, and the orange and yellow have less acid. I am guessing less acid would give a milder taste. I want to try growing white variety because I was told really low in acid.

[@briano.1503]

Your husband is a very lucky man.

[@jayduplessis7698]

You don't' have to go through all that trouble to save seeds. I save mine by simply taking them out of the ripe tomato and placing them on a paper towel. Then I let them dry there before storing them in a shoe box (they stick to the paper towel when they are dry). I also write the name of the variety on the paper towel. Then next season I simply take off the ones I need and sow them! Not only do they germinate at exactly the same speed as the other seeds, but the seedlings actually look stronger and healthier (and I suspect it's because they have extra "fertiliser" because of the dried gel around the seed. This is how they germinate in nature. So I just replicate that. No need for elaborate fermentation. Try it!

[@jerrelc.thomas336]

You know I've done this for a long time and it seems to work and it's super easy I don't know why but it works for me I always take my tomato seeds wash them off under a sink through a strainer and then I'll plop them down on a white piece of paper and let them dry and write on the paper what they are and put them in a big envelope and when you get ready to plant them, just pop one off, put it in the dirt , and I don't know why, but it works, . I just thought I would share that with you 😊

[@caliendotom5922]

I like to put my seeds rite out of the tomato onto paper towels, let them dry then label them. so next year i can pull them off ...no worries if paper is stuck to them and start them in the green house.

[@nikkireigns]

Do you rinse the seeds first? I’d like to try this

[@hashglass]

wow good job

[@EricaAnn777]

You had me at organized chaos. Hello friend Lol

[@dan.1235]

When you said you were an organized chaos kind of girl, I subscribed right then. I'm a kindred spirit. 🙃

[@soap4scum]

Thanks for your generosity in sharing 😂love your sincerity and humility

[@honeytrailfarm]

thank you! ❤️

[@kaseyguerin2127]

We live in Indiana to. And my wife and I grow lots of tomato varieties also. I love experimenting with unknown varieties. Love your channel, keep em coming.😊

[@amylovegrove817]

Thank you for this information. I am a paste gal as I like my canning tomatoes and sun golds but if I had more space I’d definitely want to try some of these. Sadly my back yard is tiny.

[@ron1836]

Wow. You are one of the prettiest females i have ever seen .. no joke

I thoroughly enjoyed this tomato hangout 😊

[@kali-66]

Can confirm, if you dont label the jars of seeds you forget!

[@mikeweaver5399]

Girl you and I have the same passion for tomatoes, I love Kentucky Beefsteak and Kellogg breakfast tomatoes. My biggest grow was 3.25 pounds

[@detours2065]

Better than Garden Answer. Keep on

[@IndigoOwl222]

I hate Winter too. I'm so tired of hearing so many people (who's opinion is wrong) saying "I hate summer". If I could wave a magic wand there would only be 2 seasons + Winter solstice though new years aka only 10 days of cold.

[@jenperrin86]

I absolutely love you chica.

[@lifeonlilac]

I had some MASSIVE Amish paste this year! So fun to see one bigger than a beefsteak.

[@SIABDERRAHIM]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@killroy7114]

Wow!

[@jeanpierregiacalone480]

Looks like you have a place where there are lots of deer? How do you keep them out of the garden?

[@laurakuley3085]

Aren’t some new zebras blushing red? I read that somewhere and I feel like mine are.

[@mandystone3005]

oooo instructional thank you ! er nice shades 😂

[@lourachmaninoff3003]

Hi, I seed save whatever I can, and I'm in zone 5b. I grafted some Sungold to Maxiforte root stock. I don't think they taste the same.

[@n8dog2001]

I was enjoying the video until you started with the "i love the big ones" stuff. The small ones fit in the jar just fine! Im newer to gardening so i'll definitely bw following.

[@jerrelc.thomas336]

I'm just curious have you ever grown white tomatoes I've grown them in the past and they seem to be a very mild tomato I like them though I'm just curious. I'm enjoying your videos on tomatoes keep up the good work😊

[@tinkernaut8736]

We've had hot pepper and squash seeds mixed up. It's not all bad though as I now have chili pepper seeds to plant next year.

[@donaldholman2550]

I have good luck with the CARBON TOMATO and enjoy the taste. I to try to grow big tomatoes. I want to grow a 2lb tomatoes!

[@honeytrailfarm]

same!

[@yuppystick]

We are always our own worst critic when it comes to looks. Be confident and keep your face pointed towards the camera 👌

[@paulbraga4460]

500 pounds is quite a lot for a garden. how large a space for the tomatoes? mygreathanks and blessings😇

[@honeytrailfarm]

I think I had a 20x50 spot just for tomatoes!

[@ccfarm]

I as well buy alot from Baker Creek. I'd totally be interested in swapping seeds with u! I've got tons a different tomato varieties!

[@honeytrailfarm]

yes I would love to do a fall seed swap! 😍

[@rblack4560]

Holy smokes that isbeautiful! And the tomatoe ain't bad either!

[@LeslieGarden]

Holy tomatoes!

[@Mike-yl6bs]

Have you ever tried German Johnson tomatoes it’s a heirloom variety that is a staple in my state of North Carolina ???

[@honeytrailfarm]

yes I have that one! it just started to rain before I made it through all of my tomatoes! lol didn't know it was from North Carolina though, fun!

[@2elgnismi]

I’m sure someone has already said this but Abe Lincoln 1923 is the older and larger tomato. I think they came out with another Abe Lincoln in or around the late 70s.

[@Onniesprairiegarden]

Oh my goodness. I'm an organized chaos person for sure!

[@dereksyroka6288]

blue eyes and braids and ....... veggies

[@broncanomix2565]

A sharpie, which contains xylene on a natural tomato? That is a no for me.

[@ericreeves7896]

What do you do for horned worms?

The trophy tomato would be perfect to eat with my trophy wife ….🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Tomatoes aren't suppose to taste tropical they're suppose to taste like a tomatoe😊

I would love to help you anytime!

[@davidlambert2537]

Another cute girl with a youtube channel !!! Yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh !!!!!!

[@Hannahsunshine-]

That dress is super cute and totally my style. Where did you get it?

[@honeytrailfarm]

Most all of my dresses are thrifted!

[@douglassullivan9684]

There's two different strains of Abe Lincoln. The original is better tasting and larger which is the 1923. I got my seeds from Baker Creek and it is my favorite red tomato and tastes way better than the newer strain which I have grown. Romeo is a huge great paste tomato.

[@honeytrailfarm]

that's so good to know, thank you!

[@GilbertMorales666]

I'm for hire, and I am affordable 😉

[@milliemcgraw8912]

I think you look like your Mother, that's a good thing

[@bdeas]

Don't grow the splits or you get more split tomatoes.

[@jef8528]

What’s your recommendation on tomato that’s close to Brandywine flavor but produces more????

[@harry8442]

Try Brandy Boy

[@joematty1353]

Jersey Boy from what i researched is Rutgers and Brandywine mix. I'm going to grow them next year if i can find the seeds somewhere.

[@honeytrailfarm]

I like Watermelon! its a big tomato that produces all season!

[@larrybulthouse455]

Where's the Cherokee purple

[@zathras2010]

Are you sure that wasn’t Missouri Love Apple?

[@honeytrailfarm]

you're right, its Missouri NOT Mississippi... you see how I got confused there 😂

[@harry8442]

I got seeds on my potatoes. Look just like little tomatoes

[@honeytrailfarm]

yes once in a while they will flower and set seeds, but don't eat them! they are poisonous
