Choosing the Right Tomato Plant
There are several types of tomatoes that have different tastes and growth characteristics. Here’s a brief overview:

- Indeterminate Tomatoes: Cultivars such as beefsteak and cherry tomatoes keep producing fruit well into the season. A great choice for gardeners who prefer to have a continuous supply.
- Heirloom Tomatoes: These are heirloom varieties, such as Brandywine and Green Zebra, that have a distinctive taste. They are more demanding in terms of care but are an excellent tomato for gourmands.
