Growing San Marzano Tomatoes from Cuttings

Growing San Marzano Tomatoes from CuttingsWhen growing tomatoes people suggest you remove the suckers that grow at the elbow of the plant. I did this early this summer, but instead of tossing the suckers, I put them in a small glass of water. Slowly they developed threadlike roots. When the roots were hardier, I planted them in the garden and these were the tomatoes that I am harvesting now. Some look like babies in blankets.

San Marzano tomatoes taste great! I got to try them for first time from the 99 cent be store! Taste so sweet and juicy, I couldn't stop eating them!

I have never heard of this tomato. They look as if they might be similar to a Roma. Tell us how they taste, or do you just use them for sauces?

These are the type of tomatoes the Italian cook Lidia uses on TV. They are similar to Roma tomatoes and are excellent for sauces.

I think the second generation plants I grew are more bountiful than the first plant.

Last March, I have grown tomatoes in our backyard but I usually buy the seedlings in the market instead of growing them from seeds. I thinks its more practical but you cannot just choose the variety. Here is the tomato I grow in our backyard.

With limited gardening space, how does one contend with the advice from nurseries that you shouldn't plant tomatoes in the same space twice. ? Is that a mandate or can you improve soils each year to where they might seem to be a different growing medium?

My grandfather taught me to pull the suckers on the tomato plants when I was young then we would plant them in smaller pots to get roots going and then transplant for more. We always had a huge crop of sucker plant tomatoes and couldn't tell the difference in taste.
