    Determinate grows until it reaches a set size, puts out all its flowers, then all the tomatoes ripen around the same time. It’s great if you are a farmer, or you have space for many plants to stagger when they ripen, or if you want to can tomatoes. Indeterminate puts out flowers as it grows, so you have tomatoes at all stages at once. I had a single cherry tomato plant that easily gave me 300 tomatoes this year.

    Maybe I will make a post about the irrigation. It really helped my gardening cause before, I’d inevitably travel for a week during the summer and come back to a bunch of dead plants.
