Tomatoes are the most popular vegetable in the home
garden. They are available in a variety of sizes, shapes,
and colors—including red, yellow, orange, and pink.
Sizes vary from the bite-sized cherry tomatoes to the giant
beefsteak varieties. Tomatoes may be round, oblate (fruit
are fl attened at the top and bottom), or pear-shaped.
Tomatoes are low in calories and a good source of vitamin
C and antioxidants.
Determinate tomatoes are small, compact plants that
grow to a certain height, then fl ower and set all their fruit
within a short time. The harvest period for determinate
tomatoes is generally short, making them good choices
for canning.
Indeterminate tomatoes continue to grow, flfl ower, and
set fruit until killed by the first fall frost. Thus, the
harvest from indeterminate varieties often extends over
2 or 3 months. Yields are generally heavier than determinate
types, but are usually later to mature. Indeterminate
tomatoes are tall, sprawling plants that often perform
best when supported by stakes or a tall wire cage.
