Tomato varieties are hard to choose from with the thousands of different options out there. Today I go through 11 that I am growing this year, and talk a little about each variety while showcasing them. This will allow you to see what you can harvest if you grow these particular varieties in the future. I am located in New Jersey in Zone 6B.
Thanks for the kind words and support 😁🐕❤️

Love your videos! My favorite tomato variety is Cherokee Purple. It has the richest flavor I've found and is perfect for sandwiches. It's also an heirloom variety.
About thirty years ago a friend asked me to water his plants while he was on vacation. I saw a ripe cherry tomato and picked it. It tasted like a raisin. I ate every one. This was before I was into gardening. Does anyone know what variety it was?
You might want to look at stupice. They are smaller that the slicers but you get a ton of them.
Have you tried the blue berry Cherry ??
Pineapple tomato, yellow pear are outstanding garden peach, black krim are also a favorite.
Everyone loves Sun Gold.
Try sun sugar it is sweeter than sun gold and does not crack like the sun gold. My opinion is it beats sun gold hands down.
Beefy boys
Giant Belgium
I grow the hybrid Defiant. It is highly disease resistant. It is a little more expensive seed but well worth the investment. More likely to have tomatoes during blight years and the flavor is spectacular. I don't like to spray for blight because it requires a lot of spraying during wet years.The only negative so far is that the flavor goes down a little when cold weather sets in. It gets a little more watery during cooler weather at the end of the season.
No Better Boys? No Beef Steaks? man you missing out
Try Belgian Giant and Cherokee Purple. My two favorites.
James, you're kidding, right? With all of the Heirloom and Open Pollinated verities available you choose to plant hybrids. I know this is an old post, but come on now. 🙂
OBTW, my favorites are:
Mortgage Lifter,
Roma paste (or San Marzano),
Chadwick Cherry.
Peace ✌
Thanks!loved your work.
how did you know that you are not gonna get the same tomatoes with the variety that does get the same tomatoe back…….
sunrise bumblebee and black cherry both have a permeant spot in my garden.
Sunny boy Hybrid Indeterminate. Good producer and the yellow flesh is so sweet. Good size, not hugh.
Can't go wrong with Celebrity. Been growing them for 30 years. They are always faithful & flavorful.
So sorry you sold out to the lefties. Miss the old days. You are too edited. Goodbye
Non gmo, heirloom, open-pollinated is the only way to grow.
Try Gin Fiz (Johnny's Seeds). Big, beautiful bicolor. Superb taste, great production, and relatively early for a big slicer.
Is it ok to eat tomato’s with those yellow spots under flesh from stink bugs?
I like to experiment so I wouldn’t mind planting a hybrid although now knowing to expect a different tomato I will be very curious to see what I get
Something to consider with the mild tomatoes like the lemon boy or Carolina gold is slicing, salt and pepper, put some ginger infused balsamic vinegar on top. I then toast some low carb bread and coat with honey mustard and a slice of cheese on top of the mustard on each slice then eat. Delicious healthy late night snack
James: excellent video. Learnt a lot. I would like to grow sweet slicing tmato for a good sandwitch. People have suggested to grow Better boy. Beefmaster. Big boy, Celebrity. I would love have your suggestions. What kind of SOIL I need to grow these?
Acidic or Alkaline? Please help. Next Year I will follow your instructions. Thanks.
Same on the chocolate sprinkles! I was really disappointed with these in comparison to other cherry tomato varieties! The skins were really thick.. I ended up using them for sun dried tomatoes.. just to use them up. I liked pink flamingo, and sun golds the best out of the cherries I grew this year.
What. Does. Tuck. Eat
I'm picking out my seeds 🙂
Great video. My number 1 cherry tomatoe would be Super Sweet 100. However, I disliked the chocolate sprinkle so much that I took the plant out of the ground and threw it right away.
