Can say I've herd of them and very little information online on them but the pictures I saw of the are very inconsistent. Some look like an Ox Heart type tomato others look like a large Roma type tomato similar to an Amish Paste or Big Mama.
I planted these seed 8 weeks ago and I think I should have waited just a bit longer before planting the seeds. lol
I had to transplant these peppers into 1/2-gallon pots today. They're showing good growth, filling out nicely and I counted around 20 buds on this one pepper. the other peppers have...
Thank You.
They could have gone into 1/2-gallon pots last week (3 weeks old) just didn't have the time.
I plant deep, lol. They got planted about 4 inches deeper than they were in the 4-inch pot and when they get planted in the ground about half their stem (or better) will be in the ground...
Mentor is about an hour due North of me.

Thank you.
I have been in a greenhouse and a garden since I could walk, starting seed and growing gardens is second nature for me but I have to say one of the hardest things for me was making the switch form Synthetic to Organic. Now I think I got a hand of it, and I never thought about going...
Tomatoes are about 30 days old now (started from seed) and showing good growth. I'm growing them organically in a basic soil mix of mine and using a liquid organic fertilizer.
Have you tried Campbells 1327, Rutgers 250 or J.T.D. (J. T. (John Thompson) Dorrance? None of these 3 are a paste type tomato as in looks but make good sauce.
The Rutgers 250 you may have to order them direct for Rutgers University in the early spring as I don't know off hand of any seed stores...
