Early Girl Tomato, Tomato
This is medium-sized red tomato produces fruit earlier than most. Its flavorful round tomaotes are great for slicing and salads.
The tomato is a warm season vegetable grown for its delicious fruits. It is a short-lived tender perennial vine that is grown as an annual. Its compound leaves are medium green, hairy, have a strong fragrance and are not to be eaten. Edible fruits appear when days and nights are warm and can usually be harvested within 60 to 62 days after germination. This is an indeterminate, or vining, variety and will grow best if staked, trellised or caged.
'Early Girl' thrives in full sun and prefers fertile loam with good drainage. All tomatoes need consistent fertilization and watering. They are among the easiest to grow and most prolific of edible garden plants. Indeterminate varieties like ‘Early Girl’ require training or trellising, but will produce more fruit over a longer period of time.
