Thank you for this! I've decided that next year I am going to plant more sauce and paste tomatoes. I might just plant all 'Italian Heirloom' from Uprising (not really). I've grown these for years after after receiving in a seed exchange. They are excellent for both sauce and slicing (and roasting low and slow for about 3 hours). They are delicious, often very large, and very prolific.
I'll probably grow 'Baylor Paste' from Adaptive as well as it is the only roma type that I have every gotten a decent harvest from - tons of fruit and zero blossom end rot.
I prefer to plant open-pollinated seeds, but make an exception for 'Juliet'. It's like a mini roma/large grape. I covered both of my plants and they are still producing.
I will have to try 'Pomodoro Squisito'. I am also super curious about 'Golden Treasure'.
I used to grow 'Amish Paste' and thought it was great. The couple of years it was disappointing so I didn't grow it this year and probably won't again.
Oh yes, Juliet is super prolific! I like my sauce/paste tomatoes to have more size on them though. The Baylor Paste I tried to grow this year succumbed to slugs. Such a bummer! I will try again next year.
Thank you for this review!! My sungolds were fabulous as always. My san marzano were mixed - some perfect, and plenty with BER. You've given me some new ideas to try.
