Wow! Exceptionally early heavy yields of nicely flavoured 85-113g (3-4oz.) Roma tomatoes on a vigorous and uniform plants. La Roma tomato seeds are perfect for sauces, or home made tomato paste. This is our most popular Roma tomato. Try La Roma in a greenhouse or under a cloche cover, and you'll get a huge haul of tomatoes that come in a fairly concentrated set. This is particularly nice for growers wanting to can their harvest. The plants do not get too large, so they work well in large containers.
Resistant to Fusarium wilt race 1; Fusarium wilt race 2; Verticillium wilt; and Tomato Mosaic virus.

| Starting |
Sow seeds 5mm-1cm (¼-½”) deep. Keep seedlings under very bright light to prevent legginess. You may have to pot on seedlings more than once before they go out to allow for root growth. Space bush (determinate) transplants 45-60cm (18-24″) apart and vine (indeterminate) types 50-75cm (20-30″) apart in rows 1m (3′) apart. |
| Growing |
Ideal pH: 6.0-6.8. Tomatoes like fertile, well drained soil that is rich in organic matter. Dig in finished compost and manure, and add 1 cup balanced organic fertilizer beneath each transplant. The nutrition from heavy clay soils is excellent for tomatoes, but they are slow to warm, so transplanting should be done later. By the same token, lighter soils warm more quickly, so transplants can go out sooner. Adding glacial rock dust will supply all the calcium they will need. Regular watering is vital, but don’t let the plants sit in water. Tomatoes are tropical plants so they require full sun and lots of heat. Vine varieties will require some kind of support such as a wire to grow up, or a trellis to be tied to as the plant grows. Bush types benefit from the support of a tomato cage in order to prevent sprawling. At the time of final transplant, plants can be buried up to their first pair of true leaves. This will encourage greater root growth, helping with both nutrient uptake and the plants’ ability to stand up to dry conditions. Stop watering around the end of July to encourage the fruit to ripen. If tomato plants are grown under cover, you can encourage pollination and fruit set by tapping the stem from time to time. Tomatoes do not rely on insects for pollination. Vibrating the plant shakes pollen loose within the flowers, which then self-pollinate. |
