Sow Right Seeds - San Marzano Tomato Seeds for Planting - Non-GMO Heirloom Packet with Instructions to Plant a Home Vegetable Garden - Italian Classic Red Variety - Great for Sauce and Canning (1)

Wow! These were great, high producers of tomatoes all summer. I planted 3 tomato plants; and once the plants started producing tomatoes they never stopped. I picked tomatoes every single day. Used for tomato sauce. I will be planting these again next summer and again….

They grow perfectly and real san marzanos. Taste was great.

The seeds had about 100% germination rate. The plants grew, and transplanted well in my soil. Grew to excellent height, and produced bushels of tomatoes. I canned several gallons of tomatoes. BUT, I like Roma better. I didn't find that much difference in taste, so I'm sticking with what I think is a better tasting tomato... Roma, for canning sauces, and salsa.

This is my first time growing these tomatoes. They're plentiful, delicious and all the seeds I play grew and produced.

Fantastic plants - we just ate our first BLT - we are growing them for making sauce but coudn't wait to try our first tomato. I planted 4 seeds, 2 ea in a seed started, all 4 came up. I thinned down to 2 because I am growing hydroponic and dont have the room for much more. (Boy am I glad!) We bought these because San Marzanos have lower acid, and my Italian friends say they are great for sauce - thats good enough for me. Moved them to the hydroponic after they got about 3 " and they have been KICKING BUTT. Over 120 tomatoes on 2 plants, most are still green but they are turning. If you don't know much about tomatoes, pay attention: these are indeterminate - they will produce fruit all summer. This also means they are like a vine - they keep growing and growing and growing and you need to know how to prune. Mine are now about 6 feet talland4 feet wide EACH. I feed them Flora Grow A and B, add Cali Magic (for calcium), Hydrogaurd (to prevent root rot in the hydroponic) and also Silica Blast to give the plants lots if strength. I also use fans lightly blowing. AND - Im still on the first seeds, and my 7 subsequent plants are clones from the suckers from these 2 plants, I still have a full pack of seeds! I am hesitant to buy seeds unless they are reputable - who wants to go to all the trouble only to miss the planting window?

These plants are incredibly productive. You’ll get so many tomatoes that are perfect for sauce and canning. Bear in mind that they are sweeter than romas. I’m seeing people who say these won’t germinate. That’s understandable, since SM tomatoes can be very picky about temperature. Make sure you have a seedling mat and/or heat lamp while germinating, because these plants LOVE HEAT. I’m in KY and I got 100% germ rate with heat mats in line-March. I put them under grow lights (LED T5 replacement bulbs) and I covered the planting bin in clear plastic to help keep moisture and heat in. Yup, I used a clear storage bin, at first it was shoebox size but as they grew I used storage totes lined with foil to reflect the light. If you keep the seeds warm, they will germinate. Start them in 3” pots. Then, when the plant has two sets of leaves, tear off the lowest set and plant them deep (so the dirt covers 0.5” to 1” above the area that you just tore off) inside half gallon pots or grow bags in order to encourage a more vigorous root system. Again— keep the soil hot, around 80f and they’ll germinate and get very strong.

I have been planting veggie seeds for over 50 years and have mixed results for these seeds. I did get 100% germination in 6-9 days. However, half the plants stayed very skinny and died when the plants were 2 - 3 inches tall (noticed other reviewers with the same comments. Replanted seeds at double the amount of starter peat pots expecting to lose half of them. Overall, I cannot recommend these seeds.

These seeds came fast and I have planted these in the past with good seed germanation. Great product.
