All done! Ready to see your result?

When you’re looking at seed catalogs or browsing the store shelves, look for these key words to help you pick your best tomato!

Growth habit: semi-determinate

Semi-determinate tomatoes grow to about 5’ tall, and can be grown in the ground, raised beds, or pots. Using a trellis or cage is recommended for support. These varieties will produce throughout the season - all summer till first frost. They’re a great choice if you want to enjoy fresh tomatoes all summer.

Seed type: hybrid

Hybrid tomatoes are created by crossing different varieties of tomatoes to create a plant with specific qualities from the parent plants, such as size, flavor, and even disease resistance. The seed saved from hybrid tomatoes will not produce the same tomato plants that they were saved from.

Tomato type: slicer

‘Marmalade’. ‘Crimson Fancy’ and ‘Summer Set’ sound like they’d be a great addition to your garden!
