How About A Tomato That Is Shaped Like A Plum?

 Roma Tomato Organic

The Roma Tomato Solanum Roma (USDA Organic) Tomato, Solanum lycopersicum 'Roma Tomato' is shaped like a plum but has wonderful tomato flavor.  The Roma is also high yielding, more than most other tomatoes.  The fruits are about 3 inches long and have few seeds making them easy to eat fresh and in salads and recipes.  Their flavor is one of the most popular so if you like canning this would be a good choice.  

The Roma is hardy from zone 3 to zone 9 and requires moderately moist, well drained soil as well as full sun.  This popular tomato is very disease resistant and does not need support like many other tomato plants.  You will want to make sure that it gets an inch of water a week and let it soak in slowly.  What can be better than fresh home grown tomatoes?  Being organic, adds a healthier touch as well.
