Roma VF Paste Tomato Seeds (Organic)
Roma VF Paste Tomato Seeds (Organic)
Sauce Maker's Choice
The Roma VF Paste Tomato, scientifically known as Solanum lycopersicum, is a cultivar highly valued for its utility in culinary paste and sauce preparation. Bred for its resistance to Verticillium and Fusarium wilts, this variety is robust against common tomato afflictions, ensuring a healthier crop.
Characterized by its determinate growth habit, the Roma VF plant typically reaches a manageable height of 3-4 feet. It features a dense leaf canopy, which protects the developing fruit from direct sunlight. The plant produces uniformly plum-shaped tomatoes, notable for their smooth, deep red skin and substantial size.
These tomatoes are distinguished by their firm, meaty flesh with low moisture content, making them ideal for cooking and processing into paste and sauce. They possess a rich, concentrated flavor with a subtle tanginess, enhancing their suitability for culinary use.
For optimal growth, the Roma VF requires full sun exposure and well-drained soil. Planting should commence indoors 6-8 weeks before the anticipated last frost date, with transplanting outdoors following the cessation of frost risk. These tomatoes thrive in moderate temperatures, ideally between 60°F and 85°F.
Harvesting is typically ready about 75-80 days after transplanting, indicated by the tomatoes' even red color and firmness. Regular watering and occasional fertilization are recommended to support healthy growth and yield. The Roma VF Paste Tomato is a superb choice for both gardeners and chefs, providing a reliable source of high-quality, flavorful tomatoes.

Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil & Water: Tomatoes love fertile soil rich in organic matter. Add plenty of compost prior to planting. Soil pH is preferred between 5.5-7.0. Soak the soil 4"-6" deep at 7-day intervals.
Planting & Growing: Sow seeds in flats 6-8 weeks before the last frost and thin to 2" apart after the first true leaves appear. Before transplanting after the last frost, harden off the plants by placing them outdoors for a few hours to start, increasing the amount of time each day until they are accustomed to a full day of sunlight.
Harvesting & Storage: Harvest when individual fruits give slightly under finger pressure; the shoulders may not have changed color yet.

Let customers speak for us
I grow this in old litter boxes for a bunny & Guinea pig rescue- it is a great treat! Grows fast, thick and moist. I also grow it in my catio for my cats
High quality saffron corms that shipped when they said they would. They started sprouting in my cabinet within a week so definitely plant them quickly after receiving.
They looked good when the plants arrived. Waiting for planters to transplant so they'll have more room, but not planting in the garden to avoid the mint from spreading all over. They're still alive....
Beautiful seed garlic
This tree takes a lot of patience, both in years to fully fruit out and in terms of how late in the season the peaches finally ripen, - the end of September here in zone 5b, - but boy are they amazing when they come in! I have two other peach trees, - Redhaven and Reliance, which have wonderful fruit, but these Indian Free White peaches are amazing. The aroma alone is incredible. These also have thicker skins, more "fuzz," which you can rub off, and are a bit on the acidic side, but OH so yummy! I have gotten raves from the farmers who tried them.
Been using this for last couple growing season. Works wonders for the garden.
This hose gets dragged over bark and around raised garden beds, and also over concrete and a weedy hillside to water a couple trees. So far it has performed well and there aren't any leaks or kinks!
I have not had a chance to plant these yet as it’s still a little early. Package came quickly and garlic was beautiful, can’t wait to plant it.
This is a great addition to my veg garden area!
These branch supports work well, are sturdy, and relatively cheap. While you do have to provide your own poles, you can buy wooden or metal ones of your needed length at hardware or home improvement stores. We ordered ten at first and then bought ten more after seeing how the first ones worked.
Of course I wanted a hand made wooden trug, but they are expensive! This plastic one is easy to clean, and the perfect size. I love the drainage holes.
No lightweight nonsense here! These are the one of the industry standards in tree pots and they have become our go to on the tree farm. You will find lightweight look-a-likes out there, but most only serve one time use. These have held up for years and been used multiple times in some cases.
This has become one of my new favorites for all around propagation. From seeds to cuttings we use this mix for our fig trees and have had unbelievable success. The mix is formulated for strong and fast root development. No complaints about it!
These trays are great. Everything is ready to go.
I use them for cuttings and seed starting and haven't been disappointed yet.
I had the frustration of having my dog dig up my citrus trees and figs out of their containers. I was furious. This granular repellent has stopped the dog completely. So now, the dog can stay.
