Tomato 'Amish Paste'

Does best when staked or caged. This variety can get 6-feet tall.

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Amish Paste is generally regarded as a tender plant, so it is really important to plant out well after your last frost date. Amish Paste needs a loamy soil with a ph of 5.0 to 6.0 (moderately acidic soil to weakly acidic soil).

Start indoors 6 weeks before last frost date

Sow at a depth of approx. 0.78 inches (2.0 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 2.60 feet (80.0 cm) between Tomato plants. For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 12°C / 54°F.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Amish Paste about 42 days before your last frost date.

Transplant out when around 15cm (6 inches) high. Plant to first set of leaves to promote strong root growth.

Amish Paste is tender, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.

This variety tends to mature and be ready for harvest in mid summer.

An old Amish heirloom from Wisconsin dating back to the turn of the century.
