Re: determinate

My guess is if it's a bush, it's determinate; if it's a vine, it's not.
How long from flower to fruit. Depends somewhat on type and variety, but usually 3-4 weeks, I think.
We got a new basil today--"Basilico". Leaves are as big as Ms Fatma's hands. Herb guy said the seeds aren't available here. He got them from Italy. I think I'll let it go to seed toward the end of summer and see what I get.

Ok, my sweet baby girl tomatoes are in the ground, growing, and now showing some flowers. I thought I would check around to see how long I'll be waiting for the first bite and over how long a period I can expect them to produce if I don't get the dastardly diseases you all were writing about. Unfortunately, some sites say this variety is determinate while others swear it is indetrminate. How does one know, other than the simple wait and see method?
