Plum Tomato (Roma) (80+ seeds)

Description

Tomatoes can be grown anytime in Georgia after Spring’s last Frost and before Fall’s first Frost! For best results, we recommend breaking this long tomato growing season into two shorter ones; Spring and Fall. The Spring Growing Season begins after the last Spring Frost, ending with a final harvest in the Summer. The Fall Growing Season begins in the Summer, ending with a final harvest in the Fall. Specific Recommended Growing Dates are listed below.

Roma Tomatoes, also known as Plum Tomatoes, are an Old Italian Favorite. Traditionally used for making Tomato Sauces and Pastes, Roma Tomatoes make a flavorful addition to any culinary creation! Whether they’re eaten fresh from the garden, chopped in a salad, or stewed in a pot of chili, home-grown tomatoes make every meal perfect.

Roma Tomatoes are a Determinate Tomato Bush. This means that once the bush has grown to its full size (typically 3 to 4 Feet tell), it will not grow much more. The bush will produce a large first harvest of tomatoes, then may produce diminishing harvests after that. We recommend starting new Roma Tomato Plants multiple times through the growing season to ensure a constant and vigorous harvest!

Tomatoes are a great source for Vitamin C, Lycopene, Vitamin, K, and Potassium.

Expect for the plants to grow 3 to 4 Feet Tall.
