>>anybody know of any good paste tomatoes to grow this year ?<< "Opalka" is about two inches across and six inches long. It has great flavor and can be used as a fresh variety although it is superb as a paste type. The seeds scrape out very easily when the fruit is split down the middle and this makes "Opalka" a great variety for drying too. Another that's much the same is "Howard German." "Amish Paste" is a big, plump plum type, weighing about six ounces, that is wonderfully sweet and very prolific. Chuck Wyatt
