Up north, when I was a kid, we didn’t care if a tomato was indeterminate (never stopped growing) or determinate (only grew to a certain size).
Heck. I didn’t even know there were different kinds of tomatoes when I was younger. We harvested seeds from the previous year’s tomatoes to grow.
Were they heirloom, hybrid, beefsteak, other? We didn’t know.
And it didn’t really matter. Our growing season was so short, if we started the tomatoes from seed outside, they never grew very tall.
Frost would come when the tomatoes were still green. We’d pick them, wrap them in newspaper, put them in the cool unfinished basement to ripen.
Each plant, if we were lucky, would give us about 4 or 5 tomatoes. That was a good harvest for us.
I warned my city-boy Dear Wonderful Hubby we’d likely get 4 or 5 tomatoes per plant this year. We had a lot of successful plants (around 30 of them). That yield would give us enough tomatoes for the year plus we’d have some extras to give to loved ones.
I miscalculated.
(sheepish grin)
We started the tomato plants inside the house and we’re growing them in the south (of Canada) now. We have a MUCH longer growing season.
And I think some of the plants are indeterminate because they seem to produce more flowers every dang day.
Anyhoo… if all those flowers bear tomatoes, we’ll likely have enough tomatoes to feed our entire neighborhood.
That is a happy problem to have.
