The Nehalem Bay Garden Club will have over 500 gallon pots of at least 19 varieties of tomatoes available at their annual Plant Sale. The sale will be held on May 7 from 9-4 and May 8 from 10-noon and is located at the junction of Hwy 53 and North Fork Rd in Nehalem. (Look for the Horse Sculpture!)
These varieties were specifically chosen by experienced members because they are proven performers in our coastal climate.
Indeterminate tomatoes grow on long vines, generally require pruning to 1 or 2 leaders that need to be trellised.
Determinate tomatoes grow compactly, sprawling laterally, usually don’t require staking (but we still recommend it), and fruit that ripens over a short period of time, but most produce all season here. (list of determinate varieties at the sale below indeterminate list.)
