I always plant two early girl plants. Start the seeds early and try to have a ripe tomato before my neighbor. Very reliable and great vines. They are always first to produce and one of the plants that is around when it frosts. Not my favorite tomato for eating but it's still worth growing.

ONE IF THE WORLDS BEST TOMATOES. THEY GROW BEST IN BIG BLACK PLASTIC POTS LOADED WITH COMPOST AND ORGANIC FERTILIZERS. I SUCKER THEM TO ONE OR TWO MAIN STEMS AND THEY GROW RIGHT UP TO THE EDGE OF MY ROOF, EVEN THOUGH I ONLY GET 5 HOURS OF STRONG SUNLIGHT IN MY SIDE YARD. I CUT OF ALL THE BLIGHTED LEAVES AND THE PLANT STAYS ALIVE AND PRODUCES UNTIL LATE SEPTEMBER-EARLY OCTOBER. BEWARE: SOME OF THE WING NUTS ON HERE SAY THEY DON'T TASTE GOOD. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT OR THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GROW TOMATOES.

It will produce far more than you want it to. It is very bland. Once your other tomatoes start producing you will just feel kind of bad about throwing out the early girls. They are that bad.

So far the only variety I can grow now without significant problems due to Fusarium. Much better luck than with Big Boy. Now that Fusarium is bad in my garden, I don't let plants overwinter.
