So what's exactly does 'determinate' and 'indeterminate' mean? Granny organic says, "Indeterminate means the plants keep growing and flowering throughout the season. Determinate plants grow to a point and flower and don’t get as tall. Either type in our climate will produce plenty of tomatoes."

  1. Commonwealth does its best to provide "safe" & high quality products. Therefore: Info. to know - Some of these tomato names, names only, are owned by Monsanto. They are NOT Genetically Engineered. While we dislike supporting Monsanto we love the varieties and will work to replace them in 2014. Thank goodness Fantastic, Sungold & Goliath won't give $$ to Monsanto.
