...tomatoes whose name I cannot recall.

We have a lot of organic matter in the soil, so it held moisture. I had changed to a new fertilization scheme, and the tomatoes grew furiously. Our garden gets shadows by 5:00 pm. It cuts into our yields, but it takes away some of the mean late day heat.

If you prune the tomatoes, then they display more of the "determinate" characteristics. If you don't prune them, they become indeterminate and you get a longer season of tomatoes from each plant.
