Know before you buy
These tomatoes have a high flesh-to-juice ratio and very few seeds, which reduces the time needed to boil down sauces. Their thick, meaty texture provides a substantial base for canning and preserves.
Indeterminate plants continue to grow, flower, and produce fruit throughout the entire season until the first frost. You will need to provide support, such as a stake or cage, as these plants can grow quite large.
You can expect to harvest your first tomatoes approximately 85 days after transplanting the seedlings into your garden.
For the best results, plant the seeds 1/4 inch deep in soil maintained between 70 and 80 ℉. Ensure they are placed in a location that receives full sun once they are established.
To ensure proper airflow and healthy development, space your Speckled Roman plants 18 to 24 inches apart.
Yes, this variety is certified organic, meaning the seeds were produced according to organic farming standards without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.
