Re: Tomato grapes

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

We just moved into a new house in Feb. and finally have enough room for a
garden.  I bought seeds the other day and found some Burpee seeds for
Christmas Grape tomatoes.  The package doesn't say they are indeterminate
but it does say to stake or trellis them.  I'd better get them going soon or
it will be too hot.  We've already had a week of 70's and up!  Waiting for
the last snow then things will happen!  Good luck!
