Description
Delectable diversity: Each plant of Finger Lakes Round Paste, like each of us, is a unique expression of deliciously never-before-seen tomato! Savor a spherical spectrum of sizes from large cherry to small slicer, combining rich flavor and dense flesh with very few seeds perfect for sundried tomatoes, salsa and sauce as well as salads. A cross between 10 Fingers of Naples and round tomato from Cornell resistant to early and late blight as well as septoria leaf spot (cu 79), Finger Lakes Round Paste matures quickly even in cool, short seasons and is a delicious bridge moving beyond the industrial plant expectations of our time. Finger Lakes Round Paste v.1 is the first generation of the cross with many, many more to come!
Finger Lakes Round Paste v.1 is part of Fruition’s See(d)ing the Change project, as are are YOU! Together, we are sowing the world we dream of, where deliciousness and diversity are embraced, amplifying the beauty and abundance that is resistance as well as resilience.

At Fruition, we sow tomatoes in soil blocks indoors 2 months before final frost, early April for us here in Zone 5, germinating them on heat mats with ease. Good light is essential: Younger, less stressed seedlings are healthier and more abundant than older, more stressed seedlings.
