Re: Fw: ((In)) Determinate Tomato Spacing

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

I'm not sure which variety of Roma tomatoes we have grown in the past, but
ours have always been the best ones in the garden!  Never a spot or bad one.
Seem to grow stronger as well.  We don't use them for paste (I don't have
the patience to cook them). But they freeze beautifully. I just wash them
off and put them in a bag.  They will keep in the freezer for months until I
need them for cooking.  Run cold water on them and the skins just wash away.
Maybe just a matter of taste?!?
