AnnualIndeterminate. One of the rarest paste tomatoes available. Brought over by a Sicilian Immigrant in the early 1900s, and is famed for its size, flavor, and amazing yield. This tomato was nearly lost but was brought back from the brink of extinction by seeds saved from only about a dozen gardeners in Chicago. Be a part of the movement to save these important historical fruits.
Can't wait to make tomato paste 🤗
Planted Incaiardi paste tomatoes seedlings two weeks ago and they look great.
All the seeds from Migardener have had great germination rates-I expect these will also germinate well. Happy customer here!
These tomatoes are great for canning, they grew well in my zone 5b garden and they were a good size.
I grew a swathe of paste tomatoes this year including the Inciardi Paste. It was a vigorous grower in my single leader system with good resistance to blossom end rot. Productivity was good.
It did not improve flavor unless left on the vine for a VERY long time after being seemingly ripe (color fully through the fruit, good texture). In general I found Amish Paste to be better tasting with similar characteristics.
Sauce made with the tomato is good. I wasn't able to find it meaningfully different than Amish paste, San Marzano, nor Opalka when cooked down.
Perhaps long hot nights didn't help, our midsummer in NJ this year (2024) was very dry hot and long.
Germanated quickly on a heat mat. Off the mat and growing ready to transplant early/mid april. Excited for leeks this autumn
Last year I bought seeds from my local store and I didnt get anything to germinate. This year I purchased all my seeds from MIGardener and I've had to give seedlings away cause nearly all the seeds sprouted!!!
Great germination! I'm excited to see how the onions turn out
My only complaint is that I was not prepared for how well and fast all of the seeds would grow soI had to pot up earlier than expected! I am very happy with all of the seeds I have purchased from here!
I think I got near perfect germination on these. Cauliflower has always been challenging for me to time it out and know when to harvest. I've been learning that crops that have purple or reds in them (looking at my red lettuce varieties and purple sprouting broccoli) seem to bolt less quickly than their green counterparts in heat.
