Tomatoes are a warm-season crop that needs full sun & loose, well-drained, moist soil. Though we technically eat the fruit of the tomato plant, the tomato is typically treated as a vegetable in eating and cooking and, thus, commonly categorized as such. They can be grown in containers or in the ground & should be staked when planted. Great fresh, for cooking, canning or sauces.

Determinate = Varieties that are compact (roughly 3’ to 4' tall) & sometimes referred to as “bush” tomatoes. They stop growing when fruit sets on the top bud, all the tomatoes from the plant ripen at approximately the same time (usually over period of 1 to 2 weeks), they require a limited amount of staking for support & are perfectly suited for container planting.
Indeterminate = Varieties that will grow & produce fruit until killed by frost. They can reach heights of up to 12 feet, although 6 feet is the standard average. They will bloom, set new fruit & ripen fruit all at the same time throughout the season. They require substantial staking for support.
During the months of May and June one of the all-time favorite plants of local gardeners, the peony, is bursting into bloom. There are many excellent peonies available to utilize in our landscapes; including herbaceous cottage types in all sorts of colors (and varying fragrances) and larger growing tree peonies too. I would never scold anyone for growing either of these types (since I do as well), but I want to bring attention to another fabulous peony option… what is known as the intersectional or Itoh Peony.
