Momotaro is my favorite slicer. Health Kick Hybrid and San Marzanio's are my sauce tomatoes. I've been loyal to Health Kick Hybrid for over 20 years. Stable. Hold the vine. Productive..... They've made 20+ years of Christmas Eve lasagna.... The "health kick" name came from 50% more lycopine than other varieties.
OT. BBQ, Smokers and other fun things.

We planted San Marzano last year for the first time and we were quite pleased with them. They seemed to ripen late. And the plants didnt have many at first, then they exploded with tomatoes.
The other variety we planted was Early Girl. Theyre good, but nothing special.
I think we ended up with 48 jars of sauce and a dozen or so jars of stewed tomatoes from 12 plants.
Maybe not everyone’s choice …… for the last 12 years: “big mama”. Huge paste tomatoes. You don’t have to pick 100’s as the are so large. Fill a 5 gallon pail very quickly. For all my pasta sauce and salsa.
Holy Smoke. Never saw sauce tomatoes that size.
Thanks. I am looking for some seeds as we speak.

Just planted my first avacado tree here in south Florida. Looking forward to some fresh one's mid summer. Lime tree is blooming nicely with about 30 flowers so far on it. Need my limes for cooking, ceviche and of course adult beverages.
I wish I had a fresh lemon or lime tree. Just a few weeks ago it went down to 3 degrees.
As I get older my pepper tolerance has been impacted, Anyone have a pepper variety that is sweet but some spice? I have grown Fresno chiles but sometimes they get real hot. Has anyone grown Calabrian chiles? I have some giant jalapeno seeds. I need something that is complimentary for sauce and salsas.
