The roma's were given to me Rita, I ususally don't raise them. Or if I wanted a roma type I'd get La Roma, much bigger and better flavor. But the San Marzano Radorta are from seeds from Italy, and are a huge tomato long and icicle shaped mostly, but very flavorful. I'd recommend them to people who like full flavored tomatoes. They stay a bit green on the top. Linda, I give lots of tomatoes to friends and family, and any that I can't find homes for I drop off at the food pantry. I have a lot of canning yet to do though, before I give too many away. I want to make two years worth of whole tomatoes and tomato soup. I make all plain sauce, and add what ever flavors I want later depending on what I'm making. I ususally run out of that, as I use a lot of it. As of today, I have 21 pints of sauce made. That's from about 15 gallons of tomatoes, so you know it's thick.
