How to Grow Roma VF Tomato Seeds:
Roma VF is a classic determinate paste tomato bred for heavy, concentrated harvests and resistance to Verticillium and Fusarium wilts. Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your last frost (or before your cool season ends). Sow about 0.5 cm (¼ in) deep in seed-starting mix, keep evenly moist, and maintain warm soil around 22–27°C (72–80°F). Seeds usually germinate in 5–10 days. Once sprouted, give strong light 14–16 hours daily to keep seedlings sturdy. When plants have 2–3 true leaves, pot up into larger containers. Harden off 7–10 days before transplanting. Move outside only when nights stay warm and soil has heated up, then plant deep (bury part of the stem) in full sun and rich, well-drained soil. Space plants about 45–60 cm (18–24 in) apart and set cages/stakes at planting time—Roma may be determinate but still gets loaded with fruit.

How to Care for Roma VF Tomatoes:
Water deeply and consistently; uneven moisture causes blossom-end rot or fruit cracking. Mulch to keep roots cool and moisture steady. Feed with compost at planting, then a balanced tomato fertilizer every 2–3 weeks; once flowering starts, switch to a fruiting/bloom fertilizer (lower nitrogen, higher potassium) for better yield. Because Roma VF is determinate, prune lightly (remove only lower leaves touching soil and very crowded inner shoots); heavy pruning reduces your total crop. Watch for pests like aphids, whiteflies, and hornworms, and treat early with hand-picking or gentle soap/neem sprays. Harvest when fruits are fully red and firm—Roma ripens in a fairly tight window, so pick regularly for sauces, canning, and drying.
