What variety of tomato should I use in the greenhouse?
Rather than field or garden types, tomatoes varieties bred for the greenhouse environment need to be used. All varieties are indeterminate, so that they can produce over a long harvest season. The most widely used variety in Mississippi as well as in the United States now is 'Trust'. Other varieties to consider are 'Match,' 'Switch,' and 'Blitz.' These are all Dutch hybrids.
