Alright! We have finally started to get some ripe tomatoes on our plants and its time to start taste testing!
So, we actually have around 60 varieties of tomatoes this year so the taste testing will be long and yummy. On the chopping block today:
- Super Sweet 100′s
- Amish Paste
- Juane Flamme
- Guernsey Island
- Yellow Pear
- Sun Gold
The yellow pear tomato is a great looking tomato; however, it sets a standard for mediocre flavor. You eat a yellow pear and all other tomatoes taste that much better.
The Amish Paste is amazingly flavorful and rich tomato. It is my favorite so far this season.
Super sweet 100′s are among the best cherry tomatoes that you can grow. The flavor is always consistent and extremely sweet.
The worst of the tomatoes by far was the guernsey. Even though beautiful and similar looking to a tigerella, it was watery and acidic. Not very good.
Juane Flamme is a wonderful tomato that is very similar to a sun gold just bigger. If you want a bigger but very fruity tomato, Juane is your man.
This is just a quick photo post and I will show more of our tomatoes as they ripen.







I love all the information you give us in this website, very interesting!I didn´t know it could be 60 varieties of tomato! Amazing!
Cody,
Please include a ruler or some other means of estimating the size of the tomatoes or other items in your pictures. The one with the hand tells me that the Amish Paste is pretty small. Tell you dad that our tomato plants are over 8 ft tall in the atrium. We planted them too soon and they stretched for the sun, but didn’t start to blossom until it warmed up more. The Better Bush is very prolific, as are the Cherry Tomatoes.
