Excuse me, but I don’t know what indeterminate versus determinant tomatoes means.

Determinate tomatoes will have harvest within a certain days to maturity. Roma Tomatoes for example.

Indeterminate tomatoes will have fruit all season long.

A determinate is commonly known as a “bush” tomato, it only grows to a determined height. Big Boy, Better Boy and others are determinates.

Indeterminate tomato plants just keep growing. As long as they have water and good soil they keep growing
A couple of my plants had vines approximately 8 feet long.
I think tomatoes from indeterminate plants have a better taste.
Others disagree.
In any event the indeterminates take a little more work due to their extra vine growth.
