Description

Start your Amish Paste tomato seeds indoors in cold frames, or a greenhouse approximately 6 weeks before the last expected frost. Transplant outdoors once the soil is warm and the danger of frost has passed. These tomatoes are heavy feeders, so ensure you fertilize them well for optimal growth and the best possible yields.

Here’s what you need to know about the plant type:

• (ID) Indeterminate plant: Grows tall continuously and produces an abundance of fruit throughout the season until the first frost.
• (D) Determinate plant: Grows 2 ½’ to 3 ½‘ tall. Produces one big harvest at one time and then stops producing tomatoes. Amish Paste is a determinate type.

This Amish heirloom tomato variety produces a large, meaty, oxheart-shaped tomato prized for its outstanding sweet flavor. This makes this ideal for canning and sauces.

Amish Paste tomato plants are determinate, reaching a manageable size and producing a concentrated harvest. For best results, consider these tips:

• Provide Support: We strongly recommend using a heavy-duty plant support (like a tomato cage or stake) to maximize yields throughout the harvesting period.
• Reduce Rot and Pests: Plant support will also reduce the risk of rot and insect damage, ensuring healthier plants and a more efficient harvest of your delicious Amish Paste heirloom tomatoes.
• Watering and Feeding: Water deeply and regularly, especially during fruit development. Fertilize with a tomato-specific fertilizer according to package directions.
• Harvesting: Pick the tomatoes when they are fully red and slightly soft to the touch.
