Notes
'Speckled Roman' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Speckled Roman') is a vegetable for food gardens and containers, grown for its edible fruit. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows fast and takes 85 days to reach maturity. Rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Teddy dill, Santo cilantro, and Cool Customer cucumber.
