SAN MARZANO TOMATO SEEDS 15 seeds
San Marzano tomato is a variety of plum tomato originating in the Campania region of Italy. It is known for its flavour and quality as a canning tomato. Compared to the Roma tomato, San Marzano tomatoes are thinner and more pointed. The flesh is much thicker with fewer seeds, and the taste is stronger, sweeter, and less acidic.

Growing
1. Fill your pot with seed compost, leaving a couple of centimetres below the rim. Scatter the seeds evenly over the compost and cover with vermiculite. Water well, then cover the pot with a plastic bag or piece of clingfilm to keep the compost moist.
2. Remove the cover from the pot when seedlings appear. If growing your tomatoes on a windowsill, turn the pot regularly to prevent the plants growing towards the light and becoming distorted.
3. Pot on the tomato seedlings when they're about 10cm tall. Plant them deeply into individual 7.5cm pots. In late-May, harden off plants before planting them into their final position.
4. Tomatoes are hungry, thirsty plants, so add moisture-retaining crystals and a slow-release fertiliser.
