Plant near asparagus, basil, calendula, dill, garlic, nasturtiums, onions, parsley, thyme. Calendula serves as a deterrent for common garden pests. Asparagus acts as a repellent for nematodes. Basil is effective in repelling whiteflies, mosquitoes, spider mites, and aphids. Additionally, basil attracts bees, which enhances pollination, improves the health of tomatoes, and enhances their flavor. Dill creates an environment that makes it challenging for cutworms to lay their eggs and also supports parasitic wasps that prey on pest caterpillars. Lastly, thyme reduces the egg-laying activity of armyworms.
Start tomato seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost in your area. Follow the seed depth and spacing guidelines indicated below. Once all danger of frost has passed, seedlings should be hardened off before planting in their growing location. Seedlings should be transplanted according to the plant and row spacing directions below. Transplant seedlings into the garden once the soil temperature has reached 15°C (60°F). Pick a location sheltered from the wind. Regularly monitor your plants and ensure that the soil remains moist , but not soggy while they establish themselves in their new environment.

"Started these Roma VF tomato seeds in a small indoor greenhouse and the germination has been excellent so far. The seedlings are coming up strong and healthy with good early growth. I grow a large garden every year and chose these specifically for making sauces and canning. Very happy with the quality of the seeds and looking forward to transplanting them outdoors this season. Would definitely buy again."
"Good"
"Good tomato, but some phenotypes are very susceptible to blossom end rot. My prized roma vf has been incredibly strong, putting out lots of fruit with great, dimpled oblong shapes. However, its neighbour next to it has lost almost all fruit to blossom end rot. Media is the same, as well as watering schedule, I just think there was some variance between them, as is to be expected with open-pollinated varieties. Waiting, very excitedly, on ripening, and hoping for good things."
"Are coiming nicely."
"Excellent germination nice health seeds/plant. Would highly recommend"
"Fast delivery"
"None of my order were what I ordered! You sent me poisonous plants.I made multiple choices and you sent nothing but the same plants. Shameful business practice."
"Just started with the Roma tomatoes and lavatera and am extremely pleased. Since I live in very northern Ontario my growing season is short. I bought a house with a solarium and am starting all of my plants in it. So far so good!"
"So far they are growing beautifully. I can hardly wait to put them outside. These are the nicest tomato plants I’ve ever had."
"100% germination. Look forward to enjoying the produce."
