Interesting Notes about Tomato:

The tomato is a very popular fruit and each variety has specific considerations for both growing and consuming.  The growth habit of the tomato plant is all about the space it has to grow in and the process for ripening fruit.  Determinate varieties are shorter plants and produce one main crop and not many fruits afterwards. Indeterminate varieties are taller and continue to produce tomatoes right up to the first frost. The maturity date designates an approximate time when the fruit will ripen. The fruit characteristics pertain to the color and size of the tomato, the consistency and taste of the fruit and if they are to be used for fresh eating or for canning. Tomatoes are vulnerable to a number of diseases and it is important to select a type that increases success in growing.
