Notes
'Early Girl' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Early Girl') is a vegetable for containers and the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. This slicer type is an indeterminate vine, so it keeps growing and setting fruit, and a cage or stake helps hold it up. Fruit ripens in about 57 days.
Pairs well with Scarlet runner, African Blue basil, and Prostratus rosemary.
