Planting determinate tomatoes with blooms on them

mhcapps · June 1, 2011

Hi,

I am a little late getting my determinate transplants in the ground this year and they have put on a set of blooms in the pots. They are not root bound yet, but are about a foot high. I have never had problems with planting indeterminate tomatoes and burying them to the top of the plant but with these only able to grow to a certain height I am a bit concerned. I was wondering if I was to bury them up to the top of the plant if they would still grow up to the 4-5 ft and go back into the vegetative cycle or if I would be better off tossing these and putting in some new ones. There are about 300 of them, Celebrity, Homestead and Rutgers determinate variety. The cost of replacing them is not an issue, but if these will grow right then I will set them out.

Hope you can help,
Mark
