The oxheart pink has arrived

Finally, one of the oxheart pink tomatoes has begun turning, enough so that I could pick it. It is pinkish, much lighter than the Amish Paste. This has been a low yielding plant, but the fruit is big and the squirrels have had their share (sadly).

The word on the gardening street is that oxheart pinks are better for sandwiches, and amish pastes are perfect for sauces. I'm hoping next year to can some marinara sauce for storage, and to get three plants growing sandwich varietals as well.
