Days to maturity: 80+ days. Growth: 16-32 oz fruit weight. Tip: A good tip I've found is to use old bed sheets (tear into strips) to hold vines to steaks; as string will cut the vine. Plant Spacing: Row: 60"Plant: 18"-36". Planting Depth: 14-1/2 inch. Days to Germination: 6-9 days. Days to Harvest: 80+ days. Tomato, Roma: Determinate. The classic sauce and paste tomato. Meaty interiors, juicy paste, and few seeds. A mid-season crop, ripening in 2-3 weeks. Days to maturity: 70 days. Growth: 2 oz fruit weight. Tip: To increase yield, fertilize at first fruit and water deeply once a week during dry weather. Plant Spacing: Row: 60"Plant: 18"-36". Planting Depth: 1/4-1/2 inch. Days to Germination: 6-9 days. Days to Harvest: 70 days. Tomatillo, Verde: Tomatillos are easy to maintain. They are rangy and should not need to be caged, and do not require rich soil or fertilization. Tomatillos require a long growing season. They can be harvested once the fruits have become plump and the outer husk begins to dry out. Days to maturity: 60-70 days. Growth: 3"-4" tall. Tip: They need at least 8 hours of direct sun daily, and will develop faster with increased exposure. If possible, grow on a slight slope with southern or southeastern exposure. Plant Spacing: Row: 24"-26" Planting Depth: 1/4 inch. Days to Germination: 7-14 days. Days to Harvest: 60-70 days.
