Hungarian Paste Tomato

Hungarian Paste Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) - Another rare heirloom variety from the 'Cricket Corner' collection. This particular source was donated by Sara Williams of Saskatoon. Origins of seed may actually be from the Carrot River area. Expect heavy yields of red, pear-shaped fruits from indeterminate vines. Some similarity to Martino's Roma, but fruits are larger and have better crack resistance. A very useful paste tomato that is trouble free to grow.

Indeterminate growth.

70-80 days to maturity.

25 seeds per packet.

Planting Instructions: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Sow ¼ inch deep and keep the soil warm. Transplant seedlings into 1" cells or 3–4" pots at the 1–2 leaf stage. Harden off plants for 4–5 days once the danger of frost has passed. Transplant outdoors when day and night temperatures consistently stay above 10°C.
