Planting Instructions for Super Italian Paste Tomato Seeds
Start Heirloom / Open Pollinated Super Italian Paste Tomato seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost date. Plant the Tomato seeds ¼” deep in sterile seed starting mix. Germination occurs in 6-14 days in soil 70-90°F. Once true leaves develop, separate Heirloom / Open Pollinated Tomato plants into 3-4″ pots, placing in full light & cooler temps (60-70°F). Set out hardened off Tomato transplants, in full sun, once soil has warmed, 18-30″ apart, in rows 3-4′ apart. Plant tall, spindly Super Italian Paste Tomato seedlings deeper, the stems will sprout roots and support and strengthen the plant. To help prevent blossom end rot, put 1 Tbs of lime, ground oyster shells, or crushed eggshells at the bottom of your planting hole. The calcium will help build strong cell walls once your heirloom tomatoes plants start producing fruit. For strong Super Italian Paste tomato plants, add 1 Tbs of aged compost and 1 Tbs of bone meal to the bottom of the hole as well.

Quick delivery and great quality seeds. I will be testing these in 2025 and look forward to it!

Prolific and great paste tomatoes with much less boil-down needed. Not so sure about the fewer seeds, though, mine seem to have the normal amount. They fall off the vine easily, even when green, so care must be taken not to disturb green ones.

Not as vibrant or as strong as hoped
