SKU: 340298193 days, indeterminate - The regular leaf plants of 'Howard German' produce red, three to nine ounce, paste-type tomatoes. There is a lot of variability in fruit shapes which range from an elongated pear to ones that look like frying peppers. The flesh is dry, meaty and tasty. Excellent for sauce and paste.
'Howard German' is an old, pre-1900s heirloom variety. Our original seed was sent to us by our friend David Pendergrass in 2004.

Sow seeds indoors (do not direct sow into the garden), using sterile seed starting mix, 6 to 8 weeks before your last expected frost date. Plant 1/4" deep, water lightly but keep moist until emergence.
Full light and cooler temps (60° to 70°) will help to prevent the seedlings from becoming too leggy. If plants become rootbound before you can safely set them into the ground, transplant them into larger pots.
Harden off plants before planting outside. Young plants are very susceptible to frost and sunburn damage. Avoid too much nitrogen. Water evenly but not in excess.

★★★★★ Best Canning Tomato

I have a neighbor and she recommended this tomato and boy am I glad she did. Very meaty and makes excellent spaghetti sauce. Best canning tomato that we put up.
