We do amish paste tomatoes for sauce and Triple L Crop tree tomatoes for slicers. The latter gets as tall as my garage every year.

Is it an indeterminate?

I wonder about the cost benefit of that type. Amish paste is a fantastic variety.

Italian Tree tomatoes are indeterminant. That’s how they get so huge. I think I first saw them at “The Land” at Epcot that provided the fresh produce for that Disney Park. These are about the size of your fist for size comparison.

One thing that I always do with raised beds is planting garlic throughout. Easy to grow and also a pest deterant.

Cedar raised beds aren’t too expensive or time consuming to build. Im able to build multiple per hour. Been gardening in recycled smart pots using recycled soil from grows for 10+ years. Im good at growing most veg. Berries probably my favorite. All berries but love me some fresh picked organically grown strawberries. I’m talking they get nothing but bokashi and worm poop. The Gurney’s Whopper is a good strain of berry for a first time grower. If you get a good first harvest you get addicted to gardening. I hear sticking ur hands n the soil is also good for mental health so definitely dont wear gloves. I never wear gloves when playing w soil.
