The San Marzano Report.

The San Marzano Report.
No this isn't some new news program on TV, it is a report and my findings on the San Marzano tomatoes I am growing.
The plants are healthy and putting on more than the average tomato would this time of year.
Due to the heavy rain the first ones I picked were hollow, mealy and horrible.
Today I had one ripen on the counter that was pretty good.
The plants seen to keep putting out fruit as the summer progresses.
when the plants first started blooming the blossoms fell of during the cooler than average weather.
Then as the temps warmed up they started setting fruit.
In my opinion this tomato variety would do well in this climate if we hadn't of had so much rain.
It is also much better than the so called Roma tomato you get from the store.
It has done better than any other paste type tomato I have grown.
My only problem is here I have to pick them at the very first sign of blush or some unknown critter will eat it.(Possum)?
It must be an Italian possum.
The taste was on the tangy/tart/acidic side and a sprinkle of salt really brought out the flavor.
On a side note.
I always test my tomatoes in the morning and it will be the first thing I eat.
I think it likes the Texas weather and will try it again next year.
Heck I might even plant a seed or two in the garden just to see what happens this year.
