Alternate location each year if possible. Stake or cage and space 24". Varieties are listed by number of days from planting out, until harvest: Some are F 1 hybrids; hand pollinated to produce seed for plants with greater germination, vigor, and consistency. I = Indeterminacy: The plant keeps growing taller, producing flowers and fruits until frost. Such a plant requires staking. D = Determinacy: The plant grows to a certain height. Then it will branch out to produce flowers and fruits which ripen over a shorter period of time. These are often referred to as bush tomatoes and do best in cages.
