South African Planting & Growing Guide

Roma tomatoes thrive in our warm climate, but timing depends slightly on your specific region:

When to Plant:

• Highveld & Inland: Sow indoors from August, or transplant outdoors after the last frost (September to October).
• Subtropical Regions (KZN/Lowveld): Can be planted almost year-round, but Autumn/Winter is ideal to avoid intense summer pest pressure.
• Western Cape: Sow from September to November as the weather warms up.

Position: Full sun (Minimum 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily).

Sowing Depth: 5mm deep in seed trays or directly into fertile, well-draining soil.

Germination Time: 7 to 14 days under warm conditions.

Days to Harvest: Approximately 75 to 80 days from transplanting.

Quick Gardening Tips for Success

Watering: Water deeply at the base of the plant rather than overhead to prevent fungal diseases like early blight.

Soil: Enrich your soil with plenty of organic compost and a handful of bone meal before planting out.

Support: While determinate, a small stake or tomato cage helps keep the heavy clusters of fruit off the ground.
