This is what I love about you. You include other zones, not just yours. I'm in NY and this helps so much. Thank you

I can add another tomato that grows well in the deep south humidity/heat. Chocolate Cherry. I grew it for the first time this past season. We hit 100F by May, then June-Sept. This little cherry tomato continued to bloom and produce tomatoes right through those hellish months, while all the rest of my tomato plants (even my peppers) were struggling just to stay alive. Chocolate Cherry will forever have a place in my garden.

I'm in 8b in the Pacific Northwest. I grew Sungold Cherry Tomatoes for the first time last year. I only grew one plant. It produced an amazing number of fruits, but they seldom made it into the house as we consumed them as fast as we could pick them. They are the best tasting cherry tomato I have ever had. I was a fan of Sweet Million for years and years. It's still a great tomato, but these are superior in every way. They were the last to succumb to disease in the fall too. The y are a perfect little snack tomato. I'll be planting three or four this year!

CA 9b. Last summer was a scorcher of a summer here! Tip! if a variety that you planted is surviving even in extreme and unusual weather, Let a sucker grow about 18", cut and stick, deep in the soil (I didn't need to place in water to root). I had tomatoes through Oct. in my zone! At least you'll know that this variety is hardy in that particular weather, and you'll have tomatoes to harvest, can, or make powder in hard, unexpected weather. I had "large cherry" for months! I learned that I will only grow one plant of each variety I like, and succession plant their suckers. I mean...Yay! for suckers!!

I live in Oklahoma and the Arkansas Traveller grows extremely well in our heat.

Ohio zone 6. We were blown away as first time gardeners by Jersey Breeze and San Marzano tomatoes. No health issues, lots of fruit, long fruiting periods. We were picking tomatoes right up to first frost with May transplanting and no succession.

I grow in hot humid Oklahoma zone 7. Found a tomato that really holds up and produces dome even sets blooms when it hits 90 degrees if I shade in afternoon…Bella Rosa. Sold in Totally tomatoes catalog. Good luck garden buddies! Thank you Brian for all your help Brian… I am a fan!

This is really unique content! I know that is getting harder the more garden vloggers entering the space. Good job putting in the work.

I've raised tomatoes in south Texas and east Texas. Celebrity has always been my favorite.

[chrisd]

I live in NC 8A. I grow Cherokee Purple, Mortgage Lifter, Celebrity, Black Cherry, Black Krim, San Marzano, Brandywine and Terrific. These do great for me.

[leynaabbey]

I'm zone 5a, in SWNY, my favorite tomatoes to grow are German Pink heirlooms. They are a beefsteak style tomato. My biggest fruit last season was just shy of 5lbs.

[Gardeninginpearls]

I am in the Pacific Northwest zone 8B I have been successful with San Marzano, early Girl, Sweet 100’s and Sweet Millions. I plant them earlier than most of my gardening friends, i have them in pots and they are watered with irrigation. Great info!

[sandraoconnor]

Here in 8b I grow Better Boy, Beefsteak, and Early Girl. Can hardly wait for their deliciousness❤❤❤ Love the video format. Please do more of these for popular veggies and invite comments. Brian you are such an humble GENIUS!❤❤❤

Missouri 6b Arkansas Traveler, Mortgage Lifter, Rutgers. I brought Everglades and Florade for climbing. Everyone loves the true tomato taste burst for salads

We're in Zone 4b borderline 3a in Minnesota. We can grow Beefsteak tomatoes, but we have to either grow our own starts or buy them to get a head start. 75 days is about the limit here, and most often we'll need to harvest, and fully ripen the remaining fruit on the plant indoors at that point, due to frost. For the last 2 yrs I've switched to more DETERMINATE tomatoes, even plant them in 2 stages 3 weeks apart, they ripen sooner and harvest period is more condensed, plus the newer breeds have compatible flavors to heirloom. I feel that the overnight dew is more of a culprit with regards to diseases. Our July and August months are relatively dry, with the exception if we enter a rainy period, but those move in quickly and move out just as fast, typically, hence I'm pin-pointing the issues to overnight dew. My favorites are: Heirloom - Ananas Noire (greenish multi-color) Virginia Sweet (yellow), Gold Metal (yellow), Curtis Cheek (red), Aussie (red), Green Giant (green). Hybrids (determinate or semi-determinate) - Beefsteak plus (red), Buffalo Steak (red), Roadster (red), Red Snapper (red), Carolina Gold (yellow), Cherokee Carbon, black (indeterminate), Paste: Plum Regal (determinate), Tachi (indeterminate but great disease resistance), Picus (determinate). Cherry: Cherry Falls, red (container-determinate, hybrid), Patio Choice, (red, determinate (hybrid), Black Cherry (black, indeterminate, hybrid), Prairie Fire, red w/yellow (ind. Heirloom, very sweet, oblong), Sunchocola (Ind., hybrid, black), White Cherry (white, indeterminate, heirloom), Super Sweet (red, indeterminate), Gold Nugget (deep yellow, sweet, hybrid, indeterminate), Perfect Flame (orange red, 3-1/2 to 4 oz., immaculate tomatoes, indeterminate, hybrid), Green Doctors Cherry (green, indeterminate, best green cherry).

Zone 8a, Fort Worth, Texas - a GREAT cherry tomato for us is Sungold. It's yellow/gold/orange and sweet. Very prolific. Celebrity and Early Girl have both worked well in our garden. I'm now trying to figure out the best roma type variety to grow for our area so we can can tomato sauce and salsas. Very informative video. Thank you.

I'm in the northeast, specifically New York(zone 5b). Some of my favorite tomatoes to grow here are the red Oxheart and yellow oxheart heirlooms and jet star which is a hybrid. All 3 of these are indeterminate. The Celebrity tomato that you mentioned also grows well here. Another I really like growing here is the sungold tomato. It's a cherry sized tomato and it is an indeterminate hybrid.
