Tomatoes

Summer-ripened tomatoes are a good source of vitamin C and beta carotene as well as lycopene which is an antioxidant. They also contain compounds that block cancer-causing nitrosamines.We use the convention of Bush to mean determinate (fruit set more or less all at once on short plants) and Vine to mean indeterminate (fruit set over a longer time on tall growing plants) similar to the difference between bush and pole beans.
