Hey Friends,

Welcome back to my May Garden series where I will share tips and tricks on keeping my garden in good shape. Today, I will be discussing tomatoes and all the types of tomatoes that I have in my garden as well as what you can buy from your garden center. There are so many varieties of tomatoes to choose from and grow in your backyard, whether you grow them from seed or buy them already planted for you.

Did you know that a tomato is a fruit? It’s considered a fruit, but nutritionists consider it a vegetable. There are different types of tomatoes more like 10,000 types of varieties. Tomatoes are one of the easiest things to grow in your garden, but you have to find the right one to grow in your area/climate. Today, I will be sharing with you the type of tomatoes that I am growing in my garden this year and if I will be growing anymore for the end of summer / early fall season.

What’s the difference between hybrid, regular and organic tomatoes?

Hybrid Tomatoes – are basically breed plants that are created by plant breeders that intentionally cross-pollinated two types of plants.

Regular Tomatoes – are called globe tomatoes you will notice them if you go to a grocery store and see beefsteak or large tomatoes that are red, large, and round.

Organic Tomatoes – are synthetic pesticide and fertilizer free. These types of tomatoes are sweeter and with less acidity.
