It is true that when growing a tomato garden there is a wide variety to choose from and also each type produces a different taste, shape and texture.
A variety may serve also different purpose to you; it can be good for garnishing, for pastas & salsas, for making ketchup or even great for snacking.
If you want to grow tomatoes of different varieties I suggest you must learn about the different types of tomatoes and the different ways of growing them.
The steps of growing tomato plants are basically almost the same with only a slight difference from growing it in a container or direct in the garden.
Apparently, we have to conspicuously and thoroughly get educated regarding the varieties and choosing where to grow tomato plants.
We must first consider where to grow our organic tomatoes.
We may opt to plant tomato seeds in a container or in hanging baskets if we lack garden space.
Growing tomato plants with different varieties are more favorable and promising to those who have wider garden space at their backyard.
Once you are able to distinguish what type of growing is appropriate for you then you may now start choosing the right kind of variety for your gardening.
There are two types of seeds, the determinate and the indeterminate seeds or plants.
Determinate growing tomato plants are a variety that grows and matures at a fixed time and ripens fruits all together in a short period of time and then stops.
The plant will slowly diminish its vigor and starts to collapse.
They are commonly called "bush" since they do not continue to grow throughout the season.
Determinate tomatoes are normally smaller than indeterminate tomato.
Examples of which are Roma VF, Better Bush, Bush Early Girl and Mountain Spring.
Indeterminate tomato varieties are its exact opposite.
This type of tomato plant continually grows and bears fruit until the season of frost where as the growing tomato plant normally dies.
Consequently this type of plant for example when you grow beefsteak tomatoes can grow up to 6 - 10 feet in height and ripens fruit all throughout the season until frost.
Indeterminate tomato plants definitely need substantial staking and constant pruning.
Examples of these kinds of varieties are Big Boy, Beef Master, Early girl, and most Heirloom and Cherry types of tomatoes.
As you can see it is therefore of the possible to grow a organic tomato garden with different varieties.
How? We can start growing tomatoes in containers, placing different varieties in each pot.
We may also plant smaller varieties in hanging container baskets.
And if you have a wide garden space you can always plant indeterminate tomato seeds of different varieties.
Just ensure that they are planted at least 24 - 36 inches away from each other.
There are a few basic steps that you must remember in growing tomato plants: First always make sure that your plant has even exposure to sunlight every day for at least 6-8 hours.
So much so it must be frequently and sufficiently watered to keep the soil moist at all times.
Overdoing it is also not acceptable.
The plants are also not tolerable to frost so I suggest for colder areas that you plant your tomato seeds indoors.
More importantly, for indeterminate tomato plants always keep in mind that these types of varieties need staking to avoid blossom end rot.
Habitual pruning of leaves is also relevant to allow sunlight penetration to all parts of your tomato plant and especially in order to eliminate bacteria and pests from affecting your other growing tomato plants.
If you are conscientious in planting and growing your tomato garden then in no time you will enjoy and relish the true tomato flavor of your homegrown produce.
