It's A Monster!

Here is a photo taken this morning of my cherry tomato plant.  It is 6 feet tall!  Never in my life have I had a cherry tomato plant grow to this size!  Greenhouses are amazing, eh?  It's like a jungle in there.   We have 2 more months of summer, so I am wondering what these tomato plants will look like by the end of August!  We shall see.   The rest of the tomato plants are at least 4 feet tall.   All of the plants have blooms and tomatoes growing, so pretty soon I'll have tomatoes to eat.
Look at this giant cherry tomato plant.  It's a variety called Chadwick Cherry. 
Here is a shot of the other tomatoes right now.
I grow indeterminate tomatoes.   That means they can grow to whatever size they want.  Determinate tomatoes only grow to a certain size and quit.  But since I only grow heirloom or open pollinated tomatoes, most of them are indeterminate types.   I try not to grow hybrid stuff because you cannot save the seeds from them.   Since my goal is to produce a garden for as little as possible cash-wise, I am very much into seed saving.
     So far I'm on my second crop on many things in the greenhouse.   The plants in the regular garden are only just beginning to grow.
