What is Roma VF tomato best known for?
Roma VF is the classic paste tomato, producing egg-shaped red fruit with thick, meaty flesh and few seeds. The VF means it carries resistance to Verticillium and Fusarium wilt, two common soil diseases.
When should I start Roma VF tomato seeds?
Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before your last spring frost, sowing about 1/4 inch deep in warm mix. Transplant outside once frost danger has passed and nights stay above 50°F.
How long until Roma VF tomatoes are ready to harvest?
Roma VF is a determinate variety that ripens about 75 days from transplant, with most of the crop maturing over a few weeks. Pick the fruit when it is deep red and firm.
How far apart should I space Roma VF plants?
Space plants 24 inches apart in full sun. As a compact determinate type, Roma VF does well with a small cage and is a good fit for containers of at least 5 gallons.
What is Roma VF best used for in the kitchen?
Its dense, low-moisture flesh makes it ideal for sauce, paste, canning, and drying. Because the harvest comes in together, it is perfect for putting up a big batch at once.
How many seeds are in a packet and are they non-GMO?
Each packet contains about 65 non-GMO seeds. Store extras in a cool, dry place and they will stay viable for several years.
