Notes

'Amish Paste' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Amish Paste') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Bees visit the flowers, and the fruit is open-pollinated, so you can save seed.

Pairs well with Teddy dill, Cranberry bean, and Alpha calendula.
