For fresh tomato soups and pasta sauces. The tomato 'Roma' (Solanum lycopersicum) is a favourite in many vegetable gardens. The firm flesh of the tomato is great in salads. The vegetable seeds are organically certified. Sow the seeds in February in a seed tray at 20°C, or outdoors under glass later in the year. After thinning, either plant outdoors in a greenhouse, pot, or in a sheltered, sunny spot. You can harvest from May through June.
Remove side shoots regularly. Space the seeds 45 cm apart. Space the rows at a distance of 45 cm. Plant at a depth of 0.5 to 1 cm. The tomatoes are happiest in full sun. After sowing, water the seeds adequately. The seeds come in a bag containing approximately 0.25 grams. This is enough to sow 10 square metres.
