You're missing "Ramapo". A classic Jersey tomato with that great old time flavor that was reintroduced by Rutgers University a few years ago. I've grown them in NH for 3 years now. They're a heavy producer, large size great for slicing. Gardening and growing tomatoes for well over 50 years, Ramapo is the best I have ever run across. Beats anything out there!
I have started 3 tomato plants in containers inside my house. They are now 18" in height but have very few branches. Is this normal?
Tomatoes are sun and heat lovers. They need at least 8 hours of direct sunlight per day PLUS a surrounding temperature of around 70 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.
The tomatoes may fail to produce more branches while growing tall due to lack of enough sunlight. Adequate sunlight is very useful for it's growth.
