Gardening Term of the Day!
Indeterminate: (I or IND): Generally larger and rangier than determinates, the indeterminate tomato plant will not flower on the terminal or main stem so it continues to grow. The plant fruits on the side branches that grow off the main stem, providing steady production all through the growing season.
Though the list is never ending, here are a few of my favorite indeterminate types:
Speckled Roman: A beautiful and delicious paste tomato with orange and yellow stripes! Yummy flavor and nice and meaty for sauce, canning and freezing :)
And a real special one, Black Krim: A beautiful, dark purple-black fruit, with a rich, old-fashioned flavor with a hint of smokiness. Very productive in my experience :)
And one more for kicks, Green Zebra; For anyone who loves a sweet tomato, or has issues with a tomato too acidic, this is your girl! She is delicious!
Well, I hope this was helpful. And please, if there is ever anything that confuses you about gardening, ask me!!!!! Stick it in the comments here, or over on Facebook. Talk to ya soon! :)
