Need help with Paste Tomato

[SeedPlanter]

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!

I liked Heidi very much this year. It produces 3-4 oz. roma-style tomatoes. Thick walls, little juice and few seeds. No disease problems for me and only a few early season BER fruit.

I don't think it is determinate by definition, but the plant is very stocky and topped out at about 4 feet. We've had some terrific wind storms here the past few weeks and it's held up very well.

I haven't tried Heidi yet myself, but I have heard many people rave about it. It has been described to me as a very compact ind. with great production and taste. It is near the top of my "Must try" list.

Agree that Martino's fresh is blah - but the sauce is a whole different story - just devine - I have a boatload that hopefully will ripen plus they are still setting. Cook down some sauce for DH - piegirl
