  • I loved making tomato sauce so much last year that I'm planting a dedicated in-ground tomato sauce garden this year using San Marzano tomatoes and some heavy-duty bamboo stakes!

    I love the soil side-by-sides you’re doing with the peppers and can’t wait to see the details. I can imagine a new gardener who is struggling with their plants may see the results of things like that and realize that it’s not THEM. So much can impact a plant, especially an annual vegetable.

    I've been harvesting my sauce tomatoes for two weeks, here on the Texas Gulf Coast. Today I'm making sauce. I grew San Marzano and Amish Paste for the first time and they are doing great! Eight varieties of peppers are growing well, harvesting now. I harvested potatoes last week. Here it's getting very hot already and the bugs are bad this year. I really enjoy seeing your wonderful garden.

    I did 6 jars of crushed tomatoes last year. Sauce and crushed tomatoes are the goal this year. Roma tomatoes and Hungarian hearts for sauce and I’ll use my Cherokee purple tomatoes for crushed tomatoes. I’m on the lookout for 2 12qt stock pots for canning. If I could find a huge cauldron, I’d definitely use that instead.

    Clover is a tough warrior against grass, even Bermuda- We threw some seed down last year and our yard is nearly half clover this year- the grass is having trouble taking over again. Also, clover is easier to maintain, drought resistant etc, and just looks pretty- maybe it'll help you with your grass if you don't want it.

I can tell you, San Marzano’s make the best sauce but adding in other tomatoes in the mix make em Epic! Are you going to jar your sauce? I pressure can my sauce….its a top tier Christmas gift😉 I encourage you to look at pressure canning … I was intimidated at first but it’s not difficult at all.
