Growing Tomatoes

Roma tomatoes not very heavy

10 years ago

My Roma produced alot of tomatoes, but they didn't weigh much and weren't meaty. I gave them Tomato tone fertilizer according to the bag instructions. We did have rain almost every day for weeks. They didn't seem to mind it because they were in a raised bed. What made them this way?

I think more juice make tomato heavier. Roma, being a paste tomato , has less juice and more meat.
