The determinates are the most popular by far. They take less space and staking and are perfect for cages.

When I was small we grew an heirloom variety whose name escapes me.
Beautiful long vines and fruit the size of a softball. One thick slice made a great sandwich.
We would save the seed and start our own plants every year.

And to think tomatoes were once considered poisonous and grown only as an ornamental!

I want to plant indeterminate varieties next year. Maybe hard to find, I may have to start from seed. A native American woman I know advised to plant tomatoes laying on the ground and not to use cages. she advised they all grew and produced better. She did not address variety, however. Wondering if she grew indeterminate plants.
