Tomato - Early Girl
They need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. There's no faster, better-tasting tomato than Early Girl. Tomatoes should be planted outside after the last average frost date. Early Girl produces huge crops of 4 to 6 ounce fruits that are great for canning or slicing. It produces dark red fruits in abundance and is an outstanding early variety for short season gardens. The Tomato Early Girl, 'Lycopersicon lycopersicum', is a very early slicing variety that produces tasty fruit throughout the summer. Soak to depth of 6 to 10 inches when watering. In warm winter/hot summer areas, tomatoes can be planted in early fall for winter harvest. Early Girl is an indeterminate variety (tall growing) so provide some support as plants grow. Tomatoes need at least 1 inch of water a week. Tomatoes prefer well drained soil that is high in organic matter. ... more information
