Striped Amish paste?

I bought some Amish paste seeds this spring from Johnny's or Gurney's.(I can't remember now which one.) when I google Amish paste tomatoes they look nothing like the ones I'm growing.

I know it's impossible to be sure, but that looks like Striped Roman to me.

For some reason I wrote Speckled Roman. :lol:

Was going to say the exact same thing. Looks like striped roman to me. Incidentally that was the first heirloom I ever grew many years ago. It's a good tomato but its not Amish paste

Thanks for the help. I just went and dug the seeds out and they do say Amish paste on them and were from Johnny's. I wonder if I'm the only one that got the special seeds. 😀

I was going to say the same thing since my mom and cousin both grow amish paste and those are certainly not amish paste ...striped roman too ... I would contact johnnys and let them know it does happen when you buy seeds ...I bought asparagus one year and it came up a blue flower my mother was like wth is that ? LOL .....

I am sure Johnny's would like to know about the problem. They may well give you a credit or at least send you a new packet of Amish paste for next season.

I sent them and email to let them know. I'm not upset about it or want my money back. I kinda wish I could buy a bunch of random tomato seeds so every plant we something different. I have never had a tomato I didn't like. I'm just a newb and wanted to ask before I sent an email to Johnny's. thanks everyone for the help.

The Sample Seed Shop has a ccouple of mixes you might find interesting.

I've been tempted, but with my luck I'd end up with eight of the same plant. :lol:

the nipples on yours don't look the same as striped roman. the nipples on stripped roman usually look like someone tried to push them back a bit. do you have any other pics to compare?

Those were the first 2 ripe ones. Ill look when I get home to see if there's more. Also the plants are very wispy and droopy, but growing and producing good. Ill take a pic of the plants tonight as well.

I did get a reply from Johnny's and they think stripped Roma as well.
