The fruit are quite uniform and we noticed few disease problems. About 3 inches by 5 inches in size and quite heavy. The red color is flecked with short attractive orange stripes. The Speckled Roman Tomato is a dense tomato, great for paste or processing, but the flavor is so good you'll also want to eat them fresh. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e25 seeds\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #34a64e;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePLANTING\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSolanum lycopersicum\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIndeterminate\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGermination:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 7-14 days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGermination Temperature:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Optimum soil temperatures 70-85ºF.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeed Sowing Depth: \u003c\/strong\u003e1\/4” deep\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStarting Indoors:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e6 weeks before the last frost.

Plant deeper than they were growing in the containers as it makes a stronger roots system. Apply a light compost tea every few weeks. Do not apply excessive nitrogen, which can promote excessive foliage and poor fruit set.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"aircall-extension-app\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pinetree Garden Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":440987418632,"sku":"41402","price":2.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/6282\/products\/speckled-roman-tomato-81-days-vegetables-pinetree-garden-seeds-928.jpg?v=1633098134","url":"https:\/\/www.superseeds.mom\/products\/speckled-roman-tomato-81-days","provider":"Pinetree Garden Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
