These grow more compactly than other (indeterminate, vining) varieties, which means a better usage of tight space. It’s harder to find this information than it should be — it’s not typically printed on seed packets, so if you planning on starting seeds indoors, look to a regional mail-order seed company that will tell you exactly what kind of ‘mato you’re dealing with. Alternatively, you can find young tomato plants — and all the knowledge that went into starting them — at a nursery or spring farmers’ market.
