I’m growing burpee’s super sauce tomatoes this year. They are supposed to get 51/2 inches tall and 5 inches wide. A huge paste tomato.
So far, so good. I have 6 plants with 42 green tomatoes
I've not tried the "Pink Fang" or "Paisano" so next year it will be in my garden. I also love the San Marzano. Thank you for telling us your top 5.
If I was going to grow only one tomato, it would be Amish Paste. Good for slicing and good for sauce. I'm in NW Oregon and I have a greenhouse (made it myself).
They do just fine so far as I can see. When we have really hot days (not weeks) I can open the full-sized doors to let the heat out. I do need to keep on top of watering more it seems than outside. The fruits, when sliced, fit nicely on an English muffin. I've used hay bales as an experiment but didn't grow tomatoes. Tomatoes pollinate by vibration from breezes so the toothbrush thing helps I think. I've seen the spray of pollen now and then. My goal is to save seeds so F1 varieties are out. Might try Paisano if it isn't a hybrid.
I am happy I found this! I am growing a San Marzano this year!
Thank you for your videos, I am new to gardening so you have been a big help to know what to plant for what uses.
Good choices thanks for the video. I was thinking of trying the paisano for next year.
I'm looking to do some canning with my tomatoes this year. Subscribed and will follow for canning tips! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for a well-done video and will add the Pink Fang and Paisano to this year's crop (Maryland)
This year I planted 1/2 of my tomatoes in straw bales and 1/2 in the ground, the straw bales way exceeded the in-ground. I lost my Roma and San Marzano from nats in my seedling, I had a family emergency and did not stay on things. My Amish Paste is doing ok, I have had better years and these are one of my favorite tomatoes. My biggest surprise this year was having extra Strawberry Plants so I placed one between each tomato plant that was in a straw bale. Those plants overall looked, grew better, and produced the most blossoms. To help with the production of the plant, I use a battery-operated TOOTHBRUSH. By placing the back side of the toothbrush while it is turned on, next to the stem near the blossoms, not on the blossom. The vibration simulates the wind which pollinates the blossom.
I've heard that about the toothbrush. I wonder if that would help in the heat when pollination is tough.
Great video! I’m in Australia, so my spring is soon to start, which means I’m beginning my planning for sowing tomato seeds! I can’t wait to try Opalka and Salvatore’s select (I think it’s called), two new paste tomatoes for me that I have never grown before.
I grew the Tachi tomato this year. Very productive early on!
Excellent information
Thank you!
Hi Jill, I am also growing all those and had same issue with the San Marino even though u watered daily. They still did awesome. I'm overflowing with tomatos lol 🍅 🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅
Really helpful infos thank u
Another good paste you should try is Jerusalem. It is a indeterminate and heirloom variety that is always the first to bare in my garden.
Hello Jill. When preparing tomato paste from preserved tomatoes, it's often a good idea to add a little sugar to the mix.
I will be growing san marzano, amish paste, roma, and super sauce this year in SE PA for paste/sauce. I just started to use a Weston Strainer in 2023 and wow, such a good purchase. Paisano looks interesting and I will keep it in mind for the future but my space is limited.
Awesome video I have 6 Roma 8 Black krim 2 early girl and 4 beefsteak I am also dealing with a little blossom end rot it has been dry in eastern Washington
My goto is Roma but this year I am growing Amish Paste tomato 🍅 thanks to your advice...also growing AR traveler (not a paste tom). Love the podcast, keep up the good work.
Thank you! I grew Arkansas Traveler one year but wasn't a big fan (but I didn't like Paisano, either, after the first year and it's now a new favorite, so maybe I should try again). Would love to hear what you think of it!
Thanks
Hi, Thanks for sharing. I grow Amish Paste, Polish Linguisa, and pink oxhearts for canning. This year I'm testing Italian Heirloom, Siberian Pink Honey and Marianna's Peace. I also grow a Russian Orange 117 bicolor which is a wonderful heirloom paste tomato. All the tomatoes I grow are Heirloom. Blessings to you and have much success this next year in your garden and your relationship with Jesus.🙏🙏
Thank you for the suggestions!
I canned 12 pints of tomato sauce by watching your Tomato class online! You gave me the confidence I needed (although the tomatoes were from our local produce stand)
That's wonderful!
You should try Olpaka paste tomatoes. Its a Polish paste and wow, absolutely delicious, meaty and THEY LOVE HEAT & HUMIDITY. My favorite is San Marzano as well, but Olpaka is delicious, prolific and a nice size and deep tomato flavor. I have purchased seeds from Jungs, and Schumway in case you're trying! Thanks for your info on the Amish paste, I might get some seed to try.
Great information! I've been growing large beefsteaks and cherry tomatoes for many years. Presently transitioning to growing paste tomatoes as I now have more time for processing and fewer neighbors to share with. Two years ago I started off with grafting large heirloom varieties such as San Marzano Redorta, Long Tom, Jersey Devil and Sweet Japanese. Whilst these plants produced heavy yields of incredibly sweet super large fruit (many well over a pound), they all produced too much water for easy sauce production. Another heirloom I planted (on it's own root stock) is the indeterminate San Marzano II. Incredibly productive clusters of 4oz fruits ripening over a short period of time, easy to process using the Kitchen Aide attachment and yielding a near paste like end product. I choose this over the traditional San Marzano as it exhibits better disease resistance and greater productivity. It is a bit acidic however and needs to be tweaked in the end, for my taste anyway. One variety I have been somewhat happy with is a determinate heirloom by the name of Ten Fingers. Productive, sweet and relatively dry pulp. It does seem a bit more susceptible to blossom end rot as many other heirloom plum tomatoes are. Need to up the calcium. Still looking for the perfect balance. Now awaiting on a new hybrid to ripen going by the name of "Super Sauce" from Burpee. Strange semi-determinate growth with very large, slightly elongated, and perfectly shaped globes. Looks almost fake. We shall see!
Thanks for sharing!
I love the Amish Paste for its outstanding sweet flavor! Big tomatoes
I've just started my seeds today. Besides the typical sauce tomatoes, San Marzano and Roma's, I'm trying out the Burbee Supersauce hybrid. I've heard really good things about them.
I too was wondering about the Supersauce Hybrid. Did this produce well for you?
I wondered why my tomatoes were not producing very much. That makes sense. I'm in Indiana. It's been hot and dry!
The Shelby paste tomato I ordered from Hoss tools has been a fantastic producer for me this year!
You're the second who has mentioned that one. I'll have to check it out!
@@thebeginnersgarden yes those plants won't quit! I've had them planted since spring and it looks like it's at death's door but it is setting new tomatoes!
You should try growing the Shelbys paste tomatoes from Hoss tools
My San Marzanos were very small like cherry tomatoes. I grew them in 10 gal bags but this summer zapped a lot of my other plants as well. Same with blossom end rot.
Yeah, I've found that the more stressed they are, the more BER they have AND the smaller they are. Also, it seems the earlier ones are bigger in general.
Romo 2 Hybrid replacement from Romo about 30 percent the size of Romo and both determine plants.
Thanks
I have never tested San marzano so this is a first.
One word, Opalka. Goofy to start from seed , but once in the garden they take off. Last year, my 1st year planting opalka's, actually I almost tossed them because they were 1/3rd the size of my other tomato transplants. Put 4 in the ground and had a huge harvest.
My largest fruit was almost 18 ounces (that fruit had only 4 seeds). Very prolific, but most important to me was the flavor, way out shined my San Marzano's.
I would be more than happy to share some seeds from this years harvest.
I have a video on RUclips "Brian Seybert garden tour" from last Aug, take a look.
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll look into it!
My opalkas have never gotten anywhere near that big and are not supposed to be that big.
@@davidgray1515 Must have been that particular year. Last year I got very few large olpalkas, most were in the 8 to 12 OZ range.
Going to try some amish paste tomatoes this year.
What zone are you in? I had good success with these in 2019 but not since
@@kristyfinley6103 I'm in 5a, south central WI.
Last year was not as good as the year before, but all the tomatoes were slower than in 21'
I am giving up on the San Marzano, going with an Amish paste, Jersey Devil (very similar to the Opalka) and my Opalka's for paste tomatoes this year.
Good Luck! Stay Well!!!
I have a hybrid paste tomato that out produces all other varieties I’ve tried and that is “Tachi “
Jill, have you ever grown/tasted/preserved Blue Beech tomatoes? They average 10 - 12 oz and are approx 6 - 8" long in our gardens. Try them - you'll be pleasantly surprised!!!
Romo 2 hybrid are bigger than Romo and more productive
I'm trying to remember Prosorto your last tomatoes sounds good
I grew San Marzano and Speckled Roman last year, and was a bit disappointed in production from both and had some blossom end rot with the SM. This year I am testing Supersauce, Burpee Supremo, and Pozzano hybrids for paste tomatoes. Supremo is a determinate and the others are indeterminate. All of these are supposed to be good producers, so we will see.
Happy Mothers Day
Opalka good.
I'm in Arkansas, fort smith. My San marzano shut down in the heat. I pulled it out but my Roma and all the others perked up and set more flowers after the recent rain.
I've noticed the same with some of my Romas (the ones in the Birdies raised bed). This doesn't happen usually, so it'll be interesting to see how much longer of a harvest I can get than I typically do.
@@thebeginnersgarden check out the rusted gardens videos on spraying with peroxide 4 tbs to 1 gal water. Kills early blight and follow it with 1 tbs baking soda spray to raise ph of the leaves, which keeps blight from sticking to the leaves. I'm trying it now. Seems to have stopped the spread so far.
Have you tried Jersey Devil or Opalka? I'm also in the south (NC), so I'm not sure how they'll do for me, but I've heard they're both delicious!
Hi do you have more info about paisano determinate tomato this year
Try Jersey Devils
Do the pink fang grow like cherry tomatoes up a trellis or more like a beef steak tomato?
I tried roma for the first time this year. I had lots of BER compared to my others even though the conditions were the same. What one tomato would you all recommend if my only goal is sauce making?
Where do you get your seeds for the Paisano tomatoes?
Hey execelent video, im the first to comment, send me grettings lady...
I'm growing Romas and Rutgers this year for canning because they are determinate tomatoes. Have you had any experience with Rutgers tomatoes?
I may have tried them as a first time gardener but not recently.
We are very new gardeners. We put in trough beds. The tomatoes are not turning red. I have a few of the Better Boys turn red (most still haven't turned red), but not the San Marzano. What is up? We live in Aurora, CO which is zone 5b. My husband does have irrigation on them (each of our troughs and fabric bag pots for).
They'll start to blush when the weather cools a bit. Jill says in the video the heat stops production. Your tomatoes are on pause until it cools a bit.
Also, those first tomatoes to me always seem to take forever to ripen anyway! I'm sure it's just a matter of time.
I was disappointed in my san marzano's this year....I grew them from seed and they did well....except the fruit is smallish....
A lot of people had a difficult tomato year. I recommend giving them another try! I also tried them many years ago -- in compacted clay soil and they didn't do well. I'm glad I tried again.
What variety had the best flavor?
I can them all together so I never tasted them. San Marzano is known for good flavor though.
How do you rank these as far as taste?
Since I preserve them all together, I don't know. I've heard people rave about San Marzano's taste, though. (Personally, I don't like the taste of raw tomatoes so I have never taste tested them.)
Better Boy slicing tomatoes are meaty and not as juicy as most others so I always grow as well as San Marzano and Roma
San Marzano Tomatoes the growing in Italy not in America!
What is special about San Marzano tomatoes?
Are San Marzano tomatoes the best? These tomatoes have a huge reputation and boast a Protected Designation of Origin status (DOP, or sometimes written as PDO - Denominazione d'Origine Protetta) which specifies the precise cultivar, processing method and region in which the tomatoes can be grown.
Opalka
This is awful,
in Spain we don't know these tomato flavours, here common tomatoes for preserving in cans are Pear and Ox heart
Am8sh paste is only paste in name. IT IS NOT A PASTE TOMATO. It's also not a great Tomato for sauce. Just look at the HUGE core your video. If you cut tge white pthy core you loose 50% volume and are left mostly with juice.
Pink wang is more accurate.
Very well presented! I’m curious if the San Marzano that you grow and can are compatible to say Cento San Marzano grown in Italy? I’ve have a suspicion that climate and soil make some difference. Just curious how yours compare. Thanks for a great video.
Thanks
