Need help with Paste Tomato

SeedPlanter · September 8, 2010

This year I planted about 7 different varieties of paste tomatoes.
Striped Roma
Sheboygan
Long Tom
Martino
Federele
Heinz
Amish Paste

I have come to the conclusion that the Determinate tomato's do the best here, we get a horrid wind storm the first part of August every year and it wreaks havoc on all my tall plants. On top of that, I don't have to fuss to much with the short plants.

The Martino (determinate) is amazing in production, The tomato's are small 2 to 3 ozers, My taste tester (DH) said the taste of them is kind of Blah.

The Heinz is ok (Determinate)...........

I was really impressed with the taste and the meatiness of the Speckled Striped Roma (indeterminate) tomato,

However, the plant itself had troubles at the start, kind of sickly looking, not a heavy producer.

Sheboygan (Indeterminate) has been a good producer of pink tom's. The taste is good too.

Anyway, I am looking for some good tasting Determinate type paste tomato plants.
I am in the warmer part of Idaho.

What are your recommendations?

Thanks!
