i sure do miss seeing y'all two together. was happy to see this old vídeo pop up.
I learned that the hard way... Never will I Ever buy onions from a big box store or any other seed for that matter. Your show has been the best show I've subscribed too & I'm buying my seeds from y'all! Thanks guys!
Thanks for the support!
I have "grown" onions for years... and rarely if ever got a decent onion. Last year I listened to what Kevin and Greg said, and this year I got a lecture on don't you dare plant that many onions again. Their method works... I had beautiful large onions... only problem I had was I had hundreds of beautiful onions... and we were trapped at home due to covid and no one to share them with. So do your homework, pick our a couple or three varieties you want to grow... and plant you seed now... (if you are in the south). I planted mine yesterday night I believe it was.
And yes... it's going to be a beautiful weekend here in the south... and hopefully it will dry up some here in North Florida so I can get out in the garden. I am so looking forward to a nice long fall!
Preach.
God bless yall - I recieved my 150 sweet Short day Yesterday Dec 2, 2021 - getting out in my Dirt to Plant -
Ground been ready .
I got all my Fertilizer but you showed some NEW stuff -
I'm gonna order to try .
God bless you all
Josette Tharp Montgomery County, Texas 🙏🏻
I absolutely love you guys!
Thanks Donny!
Great show guys, as always! Good info, especially about the day length! And that Ammonium Sulfate tip! Game changer! I've encountered a lot of that "square peg in the round hole" deal concerning day length. So many folks are not aware, and I'm glad you emphasized it. It goes for most of the garlics too! It's about time for me to start my yearly onion mantra........"I will space my onions better"......."I will keep my onions clean and weed free"......."I will fertilize and water as needed"..........etc. etc. etc. As with most of my gardening, I know what I should be doing, but I might be a little short on "execution" sometimes! :)
Here's to a great onion crop!
Travis and Greg, I love your show! Any tips on growing garlic in zone 5? Last year I planted in October and harvested in late May. Plants had died back but cloves were very small. Appreciate your help!
You'll want to plant in the fall and heavily mulch them. Feed them well once they get up and going.
YOU TWO ARE A GREAT TEAM AND SOURCE OF INFORMATION .., THANK YOU ... I AM NOW A SUBSCRIBER
Thanks and welcome
Using what yall have taught me about onions i grew a heck of a crop last year. More than i could eat or give away. so this year needs to have storage included. What onions do you recommend for long shelf life? The longer the better. I still have a couple Savannah sweets on the rack, they just started to push out new growth. zone 8
I think the round onions store better than the flattened ones. Try varieties like Cougar or Duster.
This is my first year to try and grow onions. I have them started in 162 cell seed trays. My questions is how will I know when they are ready to be transplanted into the ground?
Thanks for the informative and entertaining show!
When they can be easily pulled from the trays.
I’m in zone 7B, extreme west Texas, about 30 miles from NM. Last October, 2022, I bought normal shirt day yellow onion bulbs, not sweet, and white onion bulbs, and planted them. From all my research, over wintering them here is the best, so that’s what I did. I can’t figure out what to do with the things now. They started to bolt on me the beginning of May, and temps, until this week in June, have not even been over 95, but certainly weren’t over 75 in May. I pulled the ones that did, and some aren’t even 2” around. The largest I think I had was 3” maybe, and that was just one. They are still in the ground, June 2023, the rest seem to be ok, only a few more bolted, but they aren’t flopping over, the bulbs aren’t coming out of the ground except maybe one or two, but even then, they are very small. They have had water, and were fertilized when I planted them. I’m getting ready to just pull them and call it a huge loss, but when they aren’t even flopping over, I assume they aren’t done growing. Your advise is more than welcomed. What happened?, or what didn’t happen, where are the mistakes made?
I would question if they were short day varieties? Do you remember the name or where you got them from?
This year will be my third attempt at growing onions and I’m so happy I saw this video. So just to recap….I live in Sacramento, CA. I have some intermediate day red onion seeds that I started August 1 and again on August 18(the first batch didn’t germinate as well as I wanted). So they should grow in the seed tray for 8-10 weeks and then be transplanted into my prepared garden bed. At transplant stage I should fertilize with a complete fertilizer. Then switch to ammonium sulfate fertilizer until bulbing starts. Questions: I fertilized the seed tray with fish emulsion….how often should I fertilize seed tray? And once they are transplanted in garden bed, how often should I fertilize? Thanks again for your great information!!

Hello hoss tools I'm new to your channel from Ontario Canada Danny and Wanda talk about your show and product I love this video on onions I have been learning alot its my first time doing onions from seed they have come up beautifully I can't plant until end of May here but that's about 8-9 weeks away so I have lots of time to get them really grow
Welcome! Check out our new onion growing guide on our website too.
hosstools.com/onion-growing-guide/
Really loving you guys from south Arkansas. I do wished I had watched this show before I ordered walla walla onion seeds from y'all. If I tried to do the small green onions would I plant them in early spring?? I'm in Zone 8a. Thank you so much for all you do to help us home gardeners!
You would make green onions.
It love to see a tour of your operation. Also who won the sunflower grow off. Thanks
Our customers won. Many of them grew bigger sunflowers than any of us YT'ers.
Travis on your video on garden goodies planting green beans you put down organic fertilizer to start with. Do you use any other fertilizer during growing season
On beans, not really. If the leaves don't look nice and green after they get going, I may side dress with more organic fertilizer or inject some 20-20-20 through the drip system.
Oh and I’ve dropped my body weight from 275 to 218lbs and am going down to 188 so I can look as good as y’all
I planted onions in w horse manure n they were well over softball size n never again have I had em that size.
I miss Travis on the program. I know things happen and some must move on. Y’all two together were very informative !! Don’t get me wrong, I love momma Hiss. It’s just not the same. I’m not going anywhere I love momma hoss elaborating on her raised beds.
My elephant garlic and shallots arrive Thursday and I can't wait to get them in my kitchen garden. I'm up here in zone 6 and wondering do I start fertilizing before I put these bulbs to rest under a blanket of straw for the winter or just start once they wake up in the early spring? We're learning so much from both of you. Thanks for your help.
Maybe just some compost or good soil amendment now. Then fertilize them when they wake up in the spring.
@@gardeningwithhoss thank you
Hi guys, love your show. I was recently back home near the Finger Lakes in NY State, and bought some beautiful pumpkins from a farmer, which he called "stacking pumpkins". They are as large as traditional pumpkins, but flatter, smoother, and more red. I was wondering if you knew what these were, and if you may be carrying them? I have a photo but don't know how to attach it here...Thanks so much!
Have not heard of those. You can post a pic to our Row by Row Group on FB if you'd like.
Thanks for more expert onion info. Please clarify one important point. You said to stop fertilizing when the bulbing phase starts, but you didn't say whether to stop or continue watering at this same time. Important to know.
Also, hearkening back to the recent sunflower show, coupled with Greg's microgreen venture; I currently grow Mammoth Grey Stripe sunflower, because it makes a large seed head, and dry these for microgreen sunflowers. I'm attempting to create a perpetual crop cycle. Will you, Greg, be working toward this end, too? I'm looking for the best sunflower for this purpose. The Black Oil makes a small seed head, and the squirrels usually get them early. Thanks for sharing your crop wisdom.
Yes, keep watering during the bulbing phase. The sweetness of the onion is primarily determined by how much water it receives during this phase.
We are always looking for ways to have food year round.
Have you ever planted multisown onions in the garden? 5 to 6 seeds per cell. You pull some out earlier to use as green onions and let 2 or 3 grow out to be medium size onions at harvest.
Charles Dowding did a complete start to finish video about it and got a pretty good harvest. I might try it this out with a dozen cells and compare it against a set of single planted onions. Thought it would make an interesting experiment.
You could certainly plant more than one seed per cell and do it that way.
Hey, guys! Next year I want to plant an entire plot of sweet potatoes. What cool cover crop would you recommend to start amending the soil?
Consider a mixture of Austrian Winter Pea, Hairy Vetch and Tillage Radish. We did that last winter and it worked great.
Other thing is the big box stores sell the wrong onions! We live in the south, and they are selling Long Day onions!
I really do enjoy your videos. It's always fun. Who knew watching two grown men eat could be so entertaining. I grew up in rural central NC in the 70's while most of the land was still farmland, and Friday night entertainment was going to the stock yard cattle auction. Most of my heroes and mentors sound a lot like you both and especially Greg. I noticed that Greg often wears his Key overalls, and I was curious if there is any family relation to you, and if you have ever considered selling overalls on your website.
We are father and son. And we have considered it.
@@gardeningwithhoss Sorry if my question wasn't worded well. I meant are you related to the owners/founders of Key overalls since you share the same last name.
No relation.
What season to plant onions and what year to harvest and how long to wait before you harvest
Check out our onion growing guide. link below
growhoss.com/blogs/growing-guides/how-to-grow-onions-from-seed
Hello - My question is about which plants can be planted on the same row together utilizing the same type fertilizer when you are using the Hoss Fertilizer Injector and Drip Irrigation system. I have a small family garden and may have different plant types on a single row of drip line. I plan to put a cut off valve for each row on the main line but a single row may grow multiple type plants. Example: if I have onions that need ammonium sulfate, what other plant can use that same fertilizer. Thanks for all your help.
Try to keep the crops of the same family in the same row, as they'll require relatively the same nutrients.
Can you explain about cabbage fertilization? Lots of conflicting advice out there. Totally geared up for a better Candy onion outcome next year....great show.
They're heavy feeders. Not a bad idea to till some manure into the soil prior to transplanting.
Hoss Tools well I have had my 3 different variety’s of cabbage (3 plants in my Chicagoland raised beds) in since mid July. I have great soil with organic compost. I fertilized with microboost, Dr. Earth and a smidge of nitrogen today. Not sure I am going to get a head before it’s all over here. I may plonk my second over the earth zipper greenhouse over them and try to extend the season. Always a crap shoot at this point.
Your truck went to Illinois? OH NO! I had ordered some fishing line the beginning of Aug. and it got stuck in ILL and I still don't have it! I hope you get it soon.
They got here today thankfully. On the site and ready to order now.
...and here I was planning on a double row of onions on drip tape, now I got to re-think it.
Go for it!
Great show, glad to "hear" you're getting some new sound equipment. Also, I get the stationary camera, except when you show your seed packets or other items. Might I suggest you insert a close-up still picture of the items you are featuring, or maybe a 2 camera system. One on your pretty faces the other on the tabletop and splice together I realize this may be way more editing than you have time to do. But, there's got to be a way to do so.
We would like to eventually add another camera. But as you said, that will drastically increase the editing time.
How do I prepare my soil for onions? What should I put in the soil and how many weeks ahead of planting should I amend the soil? Thanks
Our Complete Organic Fertilizer (hosstools.com/product/complete-organic-fertilizer/) is a great pre-plant amendment. Incorporate it into the soil a couple weeks before planting.
Try putting indeterminate cherry tomatoes along a fence and train them sideways
I completed my onion collection for the short day onions earlier this week; however, do you expect more Sweet Harvest seeds for starting this fall?
Waiting on more seed packets to be printed. Should have them back in the next couple weeks.
Sorry Hoss, that last comment I made before deleting, was not meant for you. It was the video prior. Keep up the great advice!!!!
👍
I can tell you that the guy on the right, and I don't know him, i bet he has done everything you can imagine on a farm, done it all..fed a lot of people.
I'm trying the bunching onions this year. Are these heavy feeders as well?
Yes, but they don't have the two stage process like the big onions.
@Hoss Tools is there any day length sensitively on bunching onions like the warrior onion you carry?
Nah. Won't matter with those because you're pulling them small anyways.
When should I be planting elephant garlic in MN, zone 3? I have planted regular garlic in the fall and it seems to have frozen out.
Early to mid-September, but you might still have time if you hurry.
Is the "mountain" okra suitable for the northern climates? I love okra, but our growing season is not compatible for the stalk plants.
It requires a fairly long growing season, but you could probably do it if you planted in late spring.
Should I plant short day for fall/winter growing in Washington where our light days are short in fall/winter?
Here is a link to our onions, it has a map of what you should plant where.
hosstools.com/product-category/premium-garden-seeds/onions/
Micro greens....how many cuttings can you make from the same plant?
Whats the advantage of cutting them when the are little verses when they are big
Just one cutting. When little, you have more flavor, texture and nutrient value.
When you go to planting your onion starts, how deep do you transplant them?
Just a couple inches will do. No need to plant them real deep.
I took the time to complain about the audio so I will take the time to appreciate you all working on it 👍. You get a view and a like from me every video either way. I’ll get a drip tape order to you this winter and seeds by spring.
We appreciate your constructive criticism. Always trying to get better, one step at a time.
What is the variety of the determinate grape tomato? Do you guys carry it?
Mountain Vineyard - hosstools.com/product/mountain-vineyard-tomato/
I'm growing onions from seeds for the first time. I'm in zone 8a. Id like to know when do you guys start planting your onion seeds(month) What month do you transfer them into the ground to overwinter?
October
Grey's microphone sounds so much better and Travis your sounds a little off lol did yall switch ,great video.
We got completely new mics and a new sound mixer. Might take a couple tries to get the volume matched up better. Greg has a naturally louder voice, so it can be tricky sometimes.
I'm in Zone 8A (north TX) and gathering crops to plant my first winter garden. I'm planning on trying onions although I missed the boat on growing from seed so I ordered from Dixondale. I'm told plants will ship around November 9th. Do you think I'm wasting my time or should I plant them and see what happens? I guess I could cover them but I planned on growing my garlic in the same bed. Thanks for the great videos, and gardening supplies!
-Colbi
You'll be fine. Plant them in November and feed them well.
@@gardeningwithhoss NIIIICCEE! THANKS!
An Onion timing question . . .
I just placed an order with Dixondale for my Texas Legend onions. I order plants as all my seed trays are already in use with fall crop seedlings. I received an email saying that my ship date was changed to February as that was the recommended date for my area. I have never overwintered onions before and considered trying that this year. I am in zone 7B (Cleveland, TN). Since bulbing is triggered by day length, will my harvest be much quicker if I plant in November vs waiting until Feb. as Dixondale recommends?
The harvest won't be much different, but the onion size will. You can call them and request an earlier ship date if you want to overwinter them.
I ordered my shallots this evening from y'all. Would the onion suggestions work for shallots or are there some differences? I've never grown shallots before.
Yes, same thing for shallots.
@@gardeningwithhoss Thank you!
Are you guys done with planting Dixondale onions?
Yes. We have access to lots of great new varieties and our testing last year showed that they do much better when we grow them from seed.
Will we be able to order just empty bags to use for when we save seeds from crops we have grown?
We won't have the bags themselves for sale, but you can save the bags you get with your order and reuse them for other seed.
How did the Envy carrots do in your zone 8B? Looking for a good variety with good flavoring. I plan to put these in a soft soil raised bed. Thanks for the video.
Really great. Will be planting again this year
@@gardeningwithhoss thanks. Are you planting this in October? I’m also on the east coast of 8b.
I planted last year September 10th
How often do you recommend fertilizing onions with Ammonium Sulfate?
Also, on the Micro Boost, how much do you add to a gallon of water in a pump sprayer?
We usually do it every 2-4 weeks. For the Micro-Boost, a tablespoon per gallon will suffice.
@@gardeningwithhoss Thank you. I started Texas Legend Onion seeds on the 10th and we are hoping for a good crop.
I've tried twice to grow corn in my raised beds and the first time it got blown over but made some ears but it was pitiful. I have corn now tasseling but no ear formation. The got a little damaged by the recent storm but I think they may have a little blight too! I give up! Have any thoughts?
Sounds like not enough nutrients. Corn should be dark green when it starts tasseling.
I live at 7000 feet Utah. We get feet of snow. Do I plant before the snow, which we had a bit today, or wait until Spring? What type of onion?
You'll want to plant long-day onions and wait until spring to plant. You can see all our long-day varieties here: hosstools.com/product-category/premium-garden-seeds/onions/?filter_onion-type=long-day
Good evening Travis and Greg. I live in Virginia zone 8A which variety of onions are best for my area. Also I grow in a 4' high raised bed due to back issues. How deep does my dirt need to be to grow onions. First year gardener and it will be my first time growing onions. Thanks in advance.
Need to grow intermediate-day onions. If you go to the onions page on our site, you can filter just the intermediate-day varieties. Cultivate 3-4" deep and you should be fine.
@@gardeningwithhoss Thank you so much for the response and I will
About how many weeks before they start bulbing. Short day
Zone 8b aka 9a
We plant in October, harvest in late March early April. They usually start bulbing toward end of Feb.
When will you be getting garlic in? In SoCal I usually try to plant them in October. Also when do potatoes arrive?
It's on the site now right here: hosstools.com/product/elephant-garlic/
We'll start taking pre-orders for potatoes in December.
All I see on the site is elephant garlic. Is this the only garlic you sell?
Yes. That is correct.
Im trying Walla walla onions here in St.Louis, but there not doing as good as i would had thought. What can i do to help the bulbs to form.

Are the mountain okra seeds on your website by another name? I would like to try growing that okra.
hosstools.com/product/chinese-okra/
were can I get mountain okra seeds , you showed at beginning of the video , name and etc
I think it is the luffa Okra called Chinese Okra. Below is a link to all our seeds. Be sure to tune into Row by Row this week on Thursday night. It is all about Okra and our different varieties.
hosstools.com/product-category/premium-garden-seeds/okra/
When over wintering the onions do you keep watering them the entire winter, spring until the end? I live in Bellingham Wa. I started my seeds few days ago.
Yes, they like plenty of water from start to finish.
Wow now that’s a commitment
I didn’t catch the part where you mentioned, how many weeks do they need to be on the tray?
It can take 5-8 weeks, depending on how hard you push them.
I haven’t heard anything about Greg’s multiplying onions recently.
Are y’all going to have them for sell?
It's probably going to take one more year to produce a large enough seed crop to sell. Working on it though.
Can ammonium sulfate be mixed into a 5 gallon bucket and applied down the middle of a double row on onions
It could. But if applying that way, probably best to just side dress.
How often do you use the ammonia sulfate
Every 2-4 weeks.
Dixondale is sold out of onion sets, seems Johnnie's is as well, any other sources?
Plant seed!
Johnnys gets theirs from Dixondale, so that's why they're both sold out. Plant from seed and you'll have much better results than buying plants.
How big are the bulbs when you stop applying fertilizer?
When the ground starts cracking.
Hey I've heard people doing what they call spooning there onions where they pull the dirt back from the bulb to encourage a bigger onion. is there anything to that?
Have heard that too. Never noticed any big difference doing it or not. Ours do have the soil pulled away from them naturally from weeding around them, but it's not intentional.
I live in North Central AR. When do I start my onion seeds? And when do I trans
Plant them to the garden?
Start them now and plant them as soon as they can be pulled from the trays.
I missed the specific variety of Mountain Vining Okra and can’t seem to find it on your website or Baker Creek. Can you please tell me the variety and if y’all carry it?
We don't have it on the site yet. Hopefully we can harvest enough seed to make it available in the spring.
Hoss Tools Thanks! I’ll be on the lookout. I finally caught the variety when y’all got to the Q & A. Enjoying your show and learning a lot!
You mentioned fall planting onions. Do you have more info on that? I'm a rookie with onions but I think planting in fall to get a nice spring harvest is a great idea. I garden in zone 7b
PS please dont send me okra seeds. I can't stand the taste of that veggie.
Not yet!, but will soon
Guys I am having a hard time getting my onion seeds started that I got from you guys. I planted for the second time a few days after you planted the tray last week. I have mine in an162 try.
Make sure the seed starting mix stays nice and moist, from the top of the cell to the bottom.
Hoss Tools I have been watering them 3 times a day. I am in North Mississippi. The 1st time I tried it was my fault they didn’t come up. I was going to be smarter and use the compost I made, that didn’t work. I watched last weeks episode so I went out and got some seed starting mix.
Hoss Tools I guess I just needed to complete to get them to pop up. They started sprouting this morning.
The Hee Haw Gardening show. Kidding Thanks
I’m in Zebulon nc what zone am I in for planting onions?
Zipcode 27597 - Zebulon North Carolina is in Hardiness Zones 7b and 8a.
Question about onions, so I'm in zone 10(a) in S FL, starting my first adult garden, I got some candy onions that just sprouted today, the first attempt drown. According to 10 weeks for transplants in this video, that puts me into March/April for bulbing. I have 12hr days in those months, so should I remain hopeful on these?
Not sure Candy is your best option in Florida. Candy is an intermediate-day onion and short-day onions are what you should be planting.
@@gardeningwithhoss I have watched all your onion videos, though not the best, do you think they'll get some size, like tennis ball? Ill be buying texas legnds and red creole from you next time around.
Yes, they'll make an onion. Just not massive ones.
What would be the best variety of onion for me to grow in SE Ohio to achieve the "braggin rights" to the family crown on size of onion? I had descent growth with onion bulbs from the local farm supply store, but it was not uniform. I have used onion slips in the past we purchased from TX garden supply but have want to give your seed recommendation for onions a try and actually start my own seeds to form the slips. Thanks in advance
Stay tuned ... We'll be adding more intermediate-day varieties in the next month or so that will surely help you win the family crown.
Can I plant short day onions in East Tennessee
Check out our Onion growing guide, it will tell you if you can.
@@gardeningwithhoss I saw two maps.one has me in short day the other is intermediate.i am going to try short day and winter them over and see what happens.thanksfor all the info
Travis... why do you sometimes say okr”A” and sometimes okr”E”? Just wondering.
Just trying to keep everyone on their toes.
I like throwing a jab or three at my son too.LOL
Are you all selling onions sets this year or only selling onion seeds?
We have shallot "sets," but for onions just seed.
You ever tried baking okree?
Oh yeah. We put it on an elevated baking sheet and roast it that way. Very good.
@@gardeningwithhoss When do you think you will have the Okree seeds instock?
Probably spring 2021.
A lot of people say too pull the dirt away from the onion when it starts bulbing but I don't see you doing that is that right ?
It happens as we weed the onions, but we don't do it intentionally. Those same people usually plant their onions much deeper than we do. Just bury the white part. You don't have to plant them very deep.
@@gardeningwithhoss ok thanks 😊
Loofa gourd
I want the micro greens seeds
Our new building will be finished soon and we should be adding those micro greens shortly after that.
Will you be carrying the old-fashion Spanish onion the reason I want this particular variety it's has a little spice or bite to it Let me know if you going to carry this variety Thanks
We can try to get those.
Hey let this Old Alabama Boy name the Okree Mountain Ridge Vine Okra! What you think Greg and Travis? LOL! Yawl take care and God Bless.
I use romane for sandwich boats, taco boats.
Good stuff!
One thing I have no luck with is lettuce. Always bolts and seeds even when in a shady spot any advice?
Having it on drip really helps. Bolting is usually a result of plant stress.
@@gardeningwithhoss thanks for the quick response ! I will try that next year . Any recemond nutrients for lettuce or just water on drip ?
We inject 20-20-20 through the drip system. They love it.
I bought onion bulbs from a local feed store. I didn't realize that growing bulbs wasn't the best option. I've never grown onions before. After reading some I think I should wait as long as possible to plant them so they won't bolt. I just ordered some seed from you guys for short day onions. I asked customer service if I could still plant them and transplant this fall. I was told it was iffy where I am and should wait until spring. I'm in 7b. What do you guys think? I should get them in the next few days.
If you regularly get below 20 degrees, wait til late winter. If not, go ahead.
Where can I find the mountain okra seed?
Is it the Chinese Okra?
That's it, right here: hosstools.com/product/chinese-okra/
How bout naming it
Mountain Vine Okra?
Not a bad idea at all!
I planted my onions in late nov ,my onions was small when I planted them. my onions didn't grow during the winter.It's March and my onions are now starting to grow.Is this normal? Im in NC.I think my onions won't come off until May.
Sounds about right. They take a while when you overwinter them, but the rewards are worth it.
i am not understanding you i think are you saying i should plant seeds in oct or nov to have onions for spring planting i live in gray georgia
Correct

What’s a short day long day???
It's all in this video if you keep watching.
Hey guys, do you ring your onions and if so, what tool do you use?
You mean cut them to make onion rings? If so, we just lay them on their side and make slices.
@@gardeningwithhoss no, to remove excess soil from around the bulb area to allow them to freely swell.
@@gardeningwithhoss no, to remove excess soil from around the bulb area to allow them to freely swell. One of the TH-cam channels I watch (Hollis and Nancy’s Homestead) mentioned ‘ringing onions’ to improve bulb size.
Ah. We use our Single Tine Cultivator (hosstools.com/product/single-tine-cultivator/) to weed around them. That process usually removes some of the soil around them. We don't intentionally remove soil around them though. We've found that if you don't plant them really deep, it's not as necessary.
What is the difference between determinate and indeterminate when you talk about growing things
Determinate tomatoes have a shorter production window, but produce many more tomatoes during that window. They usually only get 4-5' tall. Then they're toast. Indeterminate tomatoes will have lighter yields, but will keep growing throughout the entire warm-season. They get much taller.
Thanks
