Re: determinate

The other shoe: If they are determinate, they will probably quit producing after 3-4 weeks. If they are not, they will continue to produce until frost so long as your nighttime temps don't get above 72 or so for any extended period of time. If night temps go up and they go out of production, they should start producing again when the temps fall.

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?
