I've grown tomatoes of various kinds for years; of course, I use them, too--raw, cooked, canned, frozen--as well as eating them. This is, by far, my favorite for making sauces. They are meaty, have less seeds, and the flavor is amazing. Yes, there really is a difference. They can and freeze well, too.

I grew a full garden of san marzanos this year. One seed packet was enough to produce enough plants to make tomato puree to last me throughout the winter (one top-freezer full of nothing but thick, beautiful puree in 1 qt. mason jars). It's October in upstate NY and they're STILL producing. Will do again next summer!!

I plan to use these tomatoes for making my own sauces and such. I thought that my little fantasy had be ruined when the gardeners, hired by the base that I live on, knocked over the mini greenhouse I was growing them in. There were easily 20 seeds in the pack. About 12 of them had sprouted and I was able to recover 8 of the little seedlings from a freshly cut lawn. The little green house as upside down and it had been blown about 20 feet away from the seedlings and the dirt that was in it. I replanted the seedlings in a pot, by poking little holes in the dirt and sticking the tiny, fragile roots back in there, and low and behold...THEY'RE STILL GROWING. They are not quite tomatoes yet, but they are well on they're way. I'll edit this review once we get a chance to see the fruit itself.
