Gardening Term of the Day!

Determinate: This tomato class produces fruit on the top or end of main stem. When that happens, upward growth ceases, so as a result this class tends to be smaller, tidier, and sometimes won't need staking. Don't pinch aggressively, as side branches will be productive. More fruit on a determinate plant will ripen at the same time, making it practical for making sauces and other kitchen uses.

There are "early season" varieties that ripen in 45-60 days, which are great for short season growers, like Glacier and Legend or Bush Early Girl pictured below:

And there are the "main season" types, maturing mid to late season, needing 70-80 days.These are great for warmer climate growers. There are too many varieties to even mention, but Celebrity is one of the more popular, pictured here:
