Roma Tomato

Why I grow it

Perfect for making sauces or paste, I succession plant these as they tend to ripen together, so by staggering plants I can slowly make sauces rather than being overwhelmed with 500 tomatoes at once

Care
Grow in a sunny position in fertile, well-drained soil. Water consistently as the fruit develops and feed during flowering and fruiting. As a determinate variety, there's no need to treat it like a sprawling indeterminate tomato — let it form its naturally compact plant and support it if the crop becomes heavy.
