If you have had problems with tomato diseases in the past, try growing disease resistant varieties. VNF varieties carry resistance to verticillium wilt, fusarium wilt, and root-knot nematodes. VNF Varieties include Better Boy, Celebrity, and Whopper. It's best to experiment with several varieties in order to find the ideal tomato for your taste buds. Most tomato cultivars are either determinate or indeterminate.
Determinate varieties grow to a certain height and then stop.
They will flower and set all their fruit within a relatively short period of time. This is an advantage if the tomatoes are grown primarily for canning purposes. Indeterminate tomatoes grow, flower, and set fruit until frost. Location Choose a location that receives full sun. Part shade is tolerated but not preferred, and will result in smaller plants with fewer fruits.
