Hi everyone,
I enjoy gardening (especially tomatoes). Last year canned over 50 quarts of tomatoes and over 50 pints of tomato sauce.

Thank you for letting me join the forum.

Have a good day everyone!!!!!

Welcome from NE Pa! You obviously had a great tomato season last summer! I am from 6A-B. What are your favorite varieties?

Hello Gardadore,
Because I can a lot my main crop is Amish Paste. Planted 20 plants staked and pruned to a single trunk. Also working on an experiment. I purchased a hybrid tomato from a local produce stand called Primo red,
then saved seed and I’m on my 3 year of growing them. So far it remains true to the original tomato. It’s determinate and bears heavy amounts of medium size round red fruits that a very meaty. One negative is it is not very disease resistant. Mid to late season the vines start to die back.
Other tomatoes I like are Green Giant , Paul Robeson and Brandywine.
