Whether tomatoes will produce a good harvest depends not least on the variety.

Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist and landscape designer, tells us which varieties to plant for the harvest and which for the soul.

How to choose a tomato variety

As is known, tomato varieties are divided into determinate and indeterminate.

If the goal is to get a large harvest, for example, for sale, it is better to plant indeterminate varieties.

But it is important to remember that it is not easy to care for such tomatoes: they have unlimited stem growth, you will have to install high supports, constantly remove side shoots, etc.

Accordingly, determinate varieties are tomatoes that are limited in growth. If you plant tomatoes for the soul, it is better to choose a determinate variety.
