So, had a perfect opportunity to taste test a superb heirloom tomato against a tomato I’ve developed. The video kind of says it all. Hope you enjoy!

A little about my setup. I have a hydroponic greenhouse. I grow in a system I call FAWN which is a modified hydroponic drip system. The media I grow in is aged rice hulls with parboiled rice hulls mixed. This has proven to be a great mix for me. I use Masterblend fertilizer as my nutrients to every plant grown. I’ve been pretty successful with my setup growing hydroponic tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, squash, cucumbers, cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce, turnip greens, corn, potatoes, kale, carrots, beets, spinach, onions, leeks, and even okra! Everything a gardener would desire. I also dabble in other areas like growing in raised beds, growing in a ground garden, grafting, pond activities, growing fruits, and other projects on the homestead.
Thank you so much for stopping in!

You ruined the test by adding salt.
I do love the CP, but I think I would like your creation better, from how you described the taste! I like a more tangy tomato!
Great review. Got me 6 Cherokee purple's up now and soon to be in the dirt. Can't wait to taste what the rage is all about.
yeah Cherokee purple one of my favorites too
Interesting. I like the size on the Succeed. Some of my cherokee's are kinda big. The seed beds on the Succeed seemed a little large for my liking. But, hey…. That's just my opinion. Great video brother!
I can't remember if you have tried Big Beef, if not you should. My better half and I like it the best over Cherokee Purple, Mortgage Lifter, Brandywine, Better Boy, Early Girl and every other types I've tried. It's sweet with just the right touch of acid and a little salt just makes it pop! Almost as sweet as Black Cherry but with a little bite. I know it's not an heirloom, but it produces very well and has fewer problems. Disclosure: I have no financial interest in Big Beef seeds. : ) Keep em comin' Brent!

Aren't you glad you're growing both of them?
I loved this comparison. It's so hard to explain what a tomato tastes like, but you did it perfectly. I like a tomato without that little bit of bite, one that is more maybe sweet? and with a bit less punch. While just as many love that small amount of bite that makes it unique to them. I actually understand both. I do like the ones with a bit of punch to them, but I always end up preferring the ones that are milder. Best taste test ever! I have several packs of the Cherokee Purple that I have not tried yet, and I will be starting some today after this test. Thank you so much. Sheila
