Seek Information about Growing Tomatoes

There are just about as many varieties and philosophies about growing tomatoes as there are gardeners. But that's a good thing for the beginner growing tomatoes. Information from many different gardeners or even books on the subject is essential in learning what is the best variety for you to grow.

Tomatoes come in many shapes and sizes. Choosing the best one for your individual garden and tastes depends on several factors, including personal preference. Some varieties of tomatoes include: Floramerica, Royal Flush, Pik Red, Celebrity, Liberty, Mountain Pride, Floradade, Better Boy and Big Seven. An effective way to decide which plant is the best one for you is to have an understanding of the different varieties of tomato nature has to offer.

Floramerica tomatoes are a popular type of seed that takes 70 days to mature. They can produce flavorful red tomatoes that are medium-sized (about seven ounces). Part of the reason for this variety's popularity may be its toughness. It can tolerate both hot and cold temperatures and is resistant to diseases like gray leaf spot, gray leaf mold and crown rot. This type of tomato can be used fresh, or can be canned or made into juice.

Royal Flush tomatoes can also tolerate some tough weather. They are able to flourish even in high temperatures and yield a lot of fruit. That fruit tends to be large as well. This makes Royal Flush tomatoes a good choice for those growing tomatoes for the market.

Pik Red tomatoes also tend to grow large. It takes about 70 days for this plant to mature; it yields firm, juicy, red fruit when it does. This type of tomato needs to be planted in late spring, when there is no more chance of frost overnight.

 Celebrity tomatoes tend to resist diseases and are a great choice for a home garden. Tomatoes from this plant are usually mid-sized, weighing seven to eight ounces. Liberty tomatoes produce similarly sized fruits of about seven ounces. They also withstand stress well and are crack resistant, meaning the fruit stays firm and does not split.

Another firm variety of tomato is Mountain Pride. This type of tomato plant produces large red tomatoes. Like Liberty tomatoes, they are crack resistant. Mountain Pride tomatoes are also good for either the home garden or the market.
Floradades are somewhat smaller than Mountain Pride tomatoes. They grow to be about seven ounces, but are flavorful and firm. Floradades should be grown in a southern climate, but work well in both the home garden and the market.

Better Boy tomatoes are popular mostly among home-growers of tomatoes. The bright red fruit produced by this plant can grow as large as one pound. Big Seven tomatoes can also grow to be one pound. They can handle many climates, provided the growing season is long enough, but they grow best in Midwestern climates.

Other varieties of tomato include the low-acidity Jet Star tomatoes, a pink variant called Pink Girl, the tiny and super sweet Grape and Cherry tomatoes, and thick, Italian Roma tomatoes. Heatwave, Ace and Pearson tomatoes all grow well in very hot climates, while types like Oregon Spring, Northern Exposure and Wayahead can handle cooler temperatures. Beefsteak tomatoes are some of the largest, growing up to one or even two pounds.

But this is by no means an exhaustive list. All varieties of tomatoes come in either determinate or indeterminate types. Determinate types grow to a determined point and stop while indeterminate tomatoes tend to be less bushy and need support when they start growing.

Knowing the types of tomatoes and the difference between specific varieties of tomatoes can enrich the experience of growing them.
