We grew Amish paste tomatoes last year and were overwhelmed with the taste and volume of fruit these plants produced. We have three kinds of peppers and three kinds of peppers in their little hot houses.
Freezing rain tonight. YUCK !

Glad to hear that! We grew a lot of Romas last year, but I think they needed better soil. They were prolific, but didn’t have the great flavor we have had in the past.

I think hubby got the seeds from Walmart, and he used 5 gallons buckets, and some top soil he had on hand. I know initially he trouble with blossom end rot. I told him to add some bone meal and Epsom salts and that did help to curb that issue.

Do the Amish paste tomatoes have the old time tomatoe taste?

We’ve had sleet for a while now. Rolling thunder just starting and the precip has picked up. Seems to be mix of freezing rain and sleet. Predicted to turn to snow later.

This means the back roads will make no progress on clearing this weekend, unless it warms up, but it doesn’t sound like that will happen.
