I planted these seeds for the 1st time this year (indoors 4/7/18 then transplanting 5/20/18 to a raised bed). Kept a total of 6 plants and placed a tall circular cage around each plant mid-June, training the branched leaves up and over. After watching a youtube video on how to trim up the plants and prune the centers out, fed each plant bi-weekly with Jobe's Organic veggie food, I am VERY PLEASED to say that in mid-September the 1st harvest yielded such a bumper crop ! At least 30 lbs! I've harvested 3 times so far and I'm waiting on some additional fruits to red up (it's mid October and we're having an early Fall heat wave). The fruits have been very compact, thick, meaty, very little seeds, with luscious robust flavor. Nothing like what you see in the grocery store. I've canned tomato paste, spaghetti sauce, tomato soup and bloody mary mix. The scent in the kitchen of the cooking Roma's is amazing! My husband eats the Roma on its own, with a bit of salt, like an apple. The plan is to plant twice as many plants in our 4X16 raised beds. 6 fit perfectly on one half of the beds, so 12 will be even better. I do not use any pesticides, as we do have 4 boxes of Italian honey bees. I planted the tomatoes with Queen Sophia Marigolds and I didn't have any problems with pests! This is a fabulous plant!

Easy to germinate, short lush bush with lots of fruit! Looks the healthiest out of my dozen varieties

This tomato is easy to grow from seed and produces compact determinate plants with a lot of fruit. The tomatoes are on the smaller side so a little more work to peel/can, but the flavor is amazing and you get such a high yield it is worth it. Both years I've planted they did get hit by aphids early on, but just hose off for a week and plants will bounce back and give big yield. Last year they were the first and last to produce, amazing for a determinate plant!!

I was expecting a larger meaty tomato from these plants but instead grew a small cherry sized tomato that was a light orange in color with striations of red.

I grew 3 tomato plants this season. 2 were meaty, beefsteak tomatoes, and one was Roma. They all did excellent. But the biggest producer was my Roma plant. Sure, they were a bit smaller than I expected, but they were absolutely delicious. The plant got a leafminer infestation, but it quickly recovered it off with a bit of help with neem oil. We got loads and loads of sweet tomatoes. It was also the tomato plant that produced first. Will definitely grow again. This needs to be in my garden every year!
