What are the Advantages of Planting a determinate Tomato Variety over a Indeterminate ?

Some of these are the Tomatos we people coddled. The two deep holes with fish at the bottom presumably for the CO2 and nutrients later as the root system develops Bone meal and worm castings and organic 5 + 5. Shaped and pruned lovingly and watered to perfection. Tied up and weeded to remove the competition for giving the plants as much as an benefits as a loving parent gives only the child.

Eventually, the tomatoes all ripen at once on a determinate, so if you are using them to make sauce it makes sense. Indeterminates keep on making tomatoes until they are killed by frost so you get a harvest for longer. We just kept freezing as they came.

But this makes more sense. Having all of your tomatoes ready around the same time. Some people can, so determinate would be good for that. If they all ripen at once you harvest once and are done. Otherwise we will be picking until frost kills the plant. Some prefer one's crop push for easier processing. Some prefer spreading picking out. Most of people have use both determinate and indeterminate. I used Sophie’s Choice as my determinate as it fruits quickly and I can get a jump on the season in 7B. I can also stage planting so I can get in 2 or 3 sets of determinates before frost to go with my indeterminates which allows for large batches to be canned throughout the season.

Manageability, determinates for containers and indeterminates for fixed gardens. When the determinates die, plant something else in the container. When indeterminates die, get ready for winter. Indeterminates are great for having not to buy fresh tomatoes at the store but also later in the season. It depends determinate fruit in one set time. While the indeterminate flower and fruit keeps on continually.
