How To Grow Roma Tomatoes From Seed: Roma Tomato seeds can be sown in small pots or seedling modules, indoors in early Spring. Germination is most successful at temperatures of 20°C or above. A heat mat or heated propagator may be needed to achieve this. Plant two seeds in each pot/cell. When the seedlings establish, thin to leave only the strongest one in each cell/pot.

When seedlings get to about 8cm tall, they can be planted into larger pots.

Tomatoes need heat and do best in greenhouses/polytunnels. If growing them outside, put them in a warm sunny area of the garden.

Plants will need to be supported by a stake or something similar to help the plant grow upwards and bear the fruit.
