AnnualIndeterminate - The San Marzano tomato is the undisputed king of paste tomatoes. Each plant produces insane amounts of medium 3-5 ounce tomatoes. Expect high production up to the first frost. The flavor is acidic; making it great for canning, tomato paste, pizza sauce, pasta sauce, and even fresh eating in salads! Gourmet and home chefs seek out the San Marzano for its amazing flavor and perfect texture.
Great germination
Excellent flavor, great producer, with little to no gell!!
This will be the second year that I have bought San Marzano tomato seeds. I had a 100% germination rate last year. I had three plants which resulted in fourteen pounds of tomatoes. I couldn't resist the sale that happened a few months ago, and stocked up.
Always great seeds!
So far this variety is my favorite paste tomato. This is a prolific tomato variety. I have grown San Marzano from MIgardener seeds for the past three years. I experimented in not pruning them at all in the Spring/Summer garden of 2025 and learned that you do still need to prune even though they are determinate. They were bushes monstrosities. I am growing in zone 8ish in eastern NC. The humidity demands pruning here. I’d still prune less aggressively on these than I would an indeterminate.
Last year I decided to plant a "tunnel" of sunflowers on the other side of my tall blueberry bushes and these added a colorful variety to the typical yellow! These are now a favorite that will be a "grow again!"
I received a packet of this mix with a previous greenstalk order through MIgardener (best price around!) and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to grow and how delicious it was! I’ve never grown salad greens before and this was the perfect mix. Even after burning out on gardening late in the summer, I will always look forward to growing this salad green mix in the spring. Thanks for introducing me!
Our banana peppers arrived fairly quickly, even though there was a winter storm in Michigan.
I'm sure they will do well, as most seeds from Migardener do well.
I’ve been growing these for multiple years now. I love all the little surprises that come up. I have quite a collection of cactus plants now, thanks to these seed packets.
Excellent germination! Excellent packaging! Probably jumped the gun a bit but only planted 6 seeds for now!
