I'm growing a San Marzano for the first time this year. I usually grow Roma. Its doing really well, especially compared to the other variety I planted, a hot-weather/desert tolerant variety (supposedly) called Phoenix.
The Phoenix is doing practically nothing. Oh its put out a couple of shoots so far. Sulkily. Reluctantly.
The San Marzano, on the other hand, is about 3 times as big with much thicker stems and lots more growth. She is not shy, that San Marzano! Whadda tomato!
As for the Phoenix - whatta maroon!
