Beefsteaks are vining tomatoes usually and therefore indeterminate. Bushy tomatoes like Roma are determinate. Lincoln’s are also indeterminate.
LOL, thanks for the info & clarification! I honestly never had no idea.
Been battling blister beetles (AND grasshoppers) that were destroying the original foliage. Learned to “guide” the beetles into a jug of soapy water by gently tapping the stem they’re on. Thought I’d gotten ‘em all after 50-60 “casualties”, but then saw one day before yesterday, which quickly met its Maker.
That’s why I was so pleased about the “reincarnated” foliage & blossoms. Now if only I could dispatch the grasshoppers without having to use Malathion and/or Triazide all over the place . . . any ideas or thoughts, whether from you or from any of the other FReepers on this thread, would be gratefully received!
