Roma tomatoes, also known as plum tomatoes, are a type of tomato known for their elongated shape and firm texture. They have a rich, slightly tangy flavor with low moisture content, making them perfect for sauces, pastes, and canning. Roma tomatoes are commonly used in Italian cuisine, especially for making pasta sauces, salsa, and tomato paste. They also hold up well when cooked, retaining their shape and flavor.

Growing Instructions

Starting your seeds

You can start tomato seeds indoors using a heat mat to encourage germination. Once the seedlings sprout and grow a few sets of leaves, move them outdoors. Keep the soil moist and provide 4–6 hours of sunlight daily. When direct sowing tomato seeds, plant them about 1/2 inch deep in well-drained soil. Space them 15 inches apart to allow for healthy growth and good air circulation.

Harvesting your seeds

To harvest tomatoes wait until they reach their mature color and have a firm texture. Gently twist or cut the stem using pruning shears. For vine-ripened flavor, allow tomatoes to fully ripen on the plant. Regularly pick ripe tomatoes to encourage more fruit production.
