You can't go wrong with this main season variety. It far exceeds Big Boy, Big Beef and all others for taste and production. A late season tomato with no disease problems. Expect 80 to 100 large crack free great tasting tomatoes from each plant.

This is a heavy producer of quality tomatoes. I've grown it for many years, in our Zone 5 garden, and usually can over 100 quarts in a Summer. Big Girl is also very tasty on a sandwich or in a salad. This is the only variety that I plant EVERY year. I usually plant one or two Better Boy, because it's my favorite "munch right off the vine" tomato.
