I'm wondering if when it quits raining - if they will be 4' wide and 8' tall?

I know you folks are really getting the rain. I hope your plants will still produce some good tomatoes for you. It thundering now and I am going to have to unplug. Figures it would rain after I watered.

Then there are exceptions to the rules. Certain varieties may have different growing habit .

I have read about some folks having like 10-15 foot tall tomato plants. I sure hope I don't have something like that growing. I can't even imagine it.
At least now I have a starting place and can group my determinates from indeterminates. That is a relief.
