Ten Fingers Of Naples Tomato Seeds

Ten Fingers Of Naples Tomato Seeds - Heirloom Roma Sauce Or Paste Tomato Vegetable Seeds

Ten Fingers of Naples is an Italian heirloom tomato cultivar that produces clusters of 5-6 inch elongated Roma type fruits, best suited for making sauce or paste. I was looking for a determinate tomato that was very productive so I could can tomato sauce and this one met all of those needs. Plants get around 5FT tall and require good support since the clusters get very heavy. It was one of the first tomatoes to start producing during my growing season, meaning it is pretty early maturing as well. The tomatoes have meaty inside cavities that are dry, which is exactly what you want for sauce/paste tomatoes (extra juice makes watery sauce). I don't recommend it for fresh eating since it is on the dry side. I have grown the standard Roma tomato twice before and in my experience Ten Fingers of Naples produced way more tomatoes in comparison, at least in my garden.

TOMATO CHARACTERISTICS
Determinate

Color: Red

Flavor profile: savory & acidic

Average fruit size: elongated Roma style tomato

Height/Fertilizing: height can vary as it depends on your growing conditions and care. I have a fertilizing regimen which definitely helps achieve this kind of growth but is not necessary. Adding small doses of an organic fertilizer every week has really helped me take my tomato growing to another level. Synthetic fertilizers can burn or damage plants if used too often. Therefore, I recommend organic fertilizers because they wont damage plants when used often. However, do what suits your garden and the products you like to use.

This is my current fertilizing regimen: I start by fertilizing weekly with 1/8 cup of Espoma Tomato tone sprinkled at the base of each plant. Once the plants start to bloom, I start alternating the weeks. One week with the Espoma Tomato Tone and then the next week with this recipe: mix 1 cup of Azomite dust and 1/4 cup of Fox Farms Tiger Bloom liquid into a 5 gallon bucket of water and pour some at the base of each plant.

PLANTING

Solanum lycopersicum

Germination: 7-14 days. To speed up germination I recommend using a heat mat.

Seed Sowing Depth: 1/4” deep

Sowing: I highly recommend to start in pots in doors with a heat mat 6-8 weeks before your last frost date. If you gardening in Florida, we kind of have two opportunities to grow tomatoes per year. You can start them in doors around July 1st and transplant into the garden end of September for fall/winter harvest. Or you can start from seed in doors 6-8 weeks from your last frost date for spring harvest.

Days to maturity: 75 days from transplanting into the garden
