TOMATOES: WHICH IS BETTER?

Determinate or Indeterminate? 
It depends on what you want to do with the tomatoes!
 For example, if you plan to eat some of the tomatoes fresh, 
but you want to preserve/can the rest, a determinate plant might be your best bet. 
Since it sets all its fruit at the same time, it helps streamline the canning process. 
If, however, you want a few tomatoes this week, a few next week, etc., 
an indeterminate plant might be your choice. 
Your ripe tomatoes are spread out over a several week period.  
But why not have at least one of each type, 
to provide constant fresh tomatoes for a variety of uses?

Ms. Martino's 2nd Grade Students Transfer Seedlings to the Garden

The students in 2M transplanted their watermelon and pumpkin seeds to the Redwood School Garden this week.  With the help of Ms. Shustak students learned how to properly remove their plants from milk cartons and place them into the soil.  What a great gardening experience for the children!
