Here's a few pics of my tomato plants this year. Last year I grew only indeterminate tomatoes and ended up with a real problem with height and size. So this year I'm only growing determinate tomatoes so that maybe I can keep up with them. The first two pics are of Black Krim and Mariglobe. Last year some of my plants got to the ceiling of my tunnel. Two plants measured over 13 feet tall. Not what I expected. Plus, this year I'm shooting for two plantings of tomatoes. I believe the determinants will give me that opportunity. Most of my tomatoes that I will be growing later in the year will be cuttings from the one's I'm growing now.

Are you growing other kinds of determinates? If so, which ones.

I have been singing the praises of Moskvich since I grew it last year. NICE! I too am transitioning more towards determinates and trialing several for this fall including Quarter Century, Pearson, Burbank, Peron, Bradly, Rosso Sicillian Togata, and a heinz, 13 something, cant rememeber right now but Mischka (sp) says it makes the best salsa.

Funny about the size of the plants. I think your plan should work out just fine, but....
I grew Rutgers a few years ago and could not believe the monster plant that I got. It was bigger than some of my indeterminates.

great looking plants you have, love the tunnel. I use to have one up north, wasn't heated during the winter, too expensive, but it should was great for a head start to the summer.

I don't heat my tunnel either. This year I should be harvesting tomatoes sometime between the 7th and 15th of July. This year's harvest will be my earliest ever. I will be able to have multiple harvest before winter. I could never do this outside of a tunnel. Where I live, a tunnel extends my growing season by 2 months, give or take a few days. |

I wonder if cuttings from determinants produce fruit?
