Short Description
The world's largest sauce tomato!
Full Description
It's SuperSauce! The new tomato superhero. A whole lot bigger, a whole lot better, a Roma with aroma. Weighing in at 2 lb., a whopping 5.5" tall x 5" wide, SuperSauce produces gallons of luscious sauce from a single plant harvest - one tomato fills an entire sauce jar. Very few people in the gardening world consider a paste tomato for anything other than making paste or sauce. SuperSauce also makes a superlative salad tomato; it's perfect for a meaty and tasty hamburger slice too. Indeterminate, disease-free plants yield a summer-long supply of the exquisitely flavored marinara, tomato gravy or meat sauce plus plenty for salads and slicing. SuperSauce takes 7-12 days to germinate.
So it sounds like the perfect thing as you can make paste with it, slice it, and can be used for salads and hamburgers. The reports claim they may be UP to 2 lbs but are more like a pound each. I can't wait to give these away to friends and make my own marinara sauce this summer. Its a dream I've had when I started gardening 15 years ago as a teenager.
I checked on the plant in my office today and the plant is a little scraggly and fighting off the seed coat but its definitely above ground now so I turned on the plant light in the afternoon and planted the 3 extra basil seeds for each tomato and pepper plant. I figure I'll add a marigold flower to each planter once they're ready to go.
>>1492010Basil and marigolds for sure! Basil supposedly adds extra flavour to peppers and tomatoes, marigolds also deter pests, add beneficial nematodes, and can act as a 'sacrifice plant' if pests disturb your garden.
