best Amish Paste seed - confused

[nicollas]

Are you referring to the Kapuler strain promoted by Carole Deppe ?

" This line, selected by the Kapuler family for decades, is earlier, higher yielding, and has bigger tomatoes with
much less seed than many lines of Amish Paste"

Kapular has a website with a lot of good info http://peaceseedslive.blogspot.com/

Interesting to me for two reasons

First, I didn't know that Deppe was selling seeds

Second, since Amish Paste was not available until 1987 in the SSE YEarbook, well I suppose that that is several decades and I'm pretty sure that Alan was an SSE member back then, I could check,but,well,but, if he got it back in 1987 or so, what was the reason it changed from what the original was and why mention many strains.Was it mutation,or something else.

But pleased to see less seeds which is why so many didn't want to use it as a paste tomato.

And yes,I used to know Alan very well since he requested many varieties from my SSE listings

Maybe there is some epigenetic involved

Could be, but no way to know for sure since there's not that much scientific work done with tomatoes re epigentics, but yes, known for some in general, but I don't think specifically as to naming varieties.

For me Amish Paste is not what I'm looking for. I like sauce that is not sweet. Fresh eating I like sweet tomatoes. So any tomato that is decent fresh is in most cases something I don't want for sauce. I have found the acidic and even the bland tomatoes fresh make the very best sauce.

I like a tomato called "Prue" for sauce and canning and tomato soups. It has a delicious rich flavor, campbell soup taste to me. Link>http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Prue

Wrong Scarinzi?

He's the only one I know with that last name who was involved with tomatoes and he and Chuck exchanged many varieties so I'm having a hard time thinking that Mark's seeds would be anything different or special.

Right Scarinzi, Carolyn.

Mark sent me seeds a few years ago for the MMMM swap. He was hoping for some feedback on grow-outs, but I think I was the only one to respond. He might be a member here, because he either contacted me by PM or email.

I'll have to look through my 996 PM's to see if I can locate him.

Gary, I checked his last name here as a member ,nothing, and I have no idea whatsoever what he might have used for a user number, so that's that.

No need to check your PM's as I see it, and no way to know how he might have had your em addy either,

Summary?

I don't think anything from him would be anything special given what I wrote above.

nicollas,

Thanks for that link. I plan on trying that Kapuler version of Amish Paste, and compare it to the Amish Paste that I obtain from SSE. She lists a few other varieties that I'm interested in as well. I've grown the Candystick Dessert Delicata Squash the past two years, and I've been impressed with it. I need more seed, so I'll likely order that from her as well.
