I just read something recently that stated potato plants have growth habits of either determinate or indeterminate.

Can someone talk about this. Is there a reason why you would grow on growth habit over the other?

Is it just a matter of the type of tuber you get, the taste of it. Or is there a reason to find one due to space limitations or short or long season availability?

I never knew there were both.
