I purchased 6 roma tomatoes today.
Decided to give two to my mother and plant the remaining 4 in our raised vegetable garden. Look forward to picking juicy red romas in summer.

ClarendonFlower's Roma Tomatoes Care Instructions
If sowing directly, aim to sow 0.78 inches (2.0 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 2.60 feet (80.0 cm).
Tomato 'Roma' normally grows to a mature height of 1.20 metres (that's 3.90 feet imperial) so ensure you have enough space in your garden for this plant.
Your garden has don't know light - a full sun position will ensure your plant thrives.
Remember to water moderately.
Your garden's USDA Hardiness Zone (10) is within the ideal range for Tomato 'Roma'. The recommended range is between Zone 3 and 14.
Try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.0 and 6.0 as Tomato 'Roma' likes to be in acidic soil.
Common Tomato problems include Early Blight, Verticillium Wilt, Bacterial Canker, Bacterial Spot, and Bacterial Speck, so keep a close eye out for any developing symptoms.
