Early Girl Hybrid (VFF) Tomato Seeds

Earliest Indeterminate Hybrid

(5 customer reviews)

Gurney's Choice The one you can count on, year after year. There's no faster, better-tasting tomato than Early Girl Hybrid (VFF) Tomato! Huge crops of 4- to 6-ounce fruits--ideal for canning. Resists wilt. 52 DAYS.

Tomatoes offer so many delicious possibilities-slice them, sauce them, can them, or turn them into salsa!

Selection Tip: when choosing varieties, keep in mind that “determinates” ripen over 3-4 weeks on bushy vines that usually need no staking. “Indeterminate” vines continue to grow and produce fruit all season until frost. The large vines need support.

Comments: Start seeds indoors 6 – 8 weeks before planting outdoors. Plant outdoors after any chance of frost is past (may use Wall ‘O Water to plant earlier). When transplanting, set the plant deep, up to the first true leaves, by digging a deep hole or digging a trench and laying the plant on its side in the trench. The stem will develop roots along its length. Cultivate shallowly and frequently to control weeds. May mulch to control weeds and conserve moisture. Plants should be staked or caged to support branches and keep fruit off the ground. Plants can be closer together and will develop larger fruit. Prune by cutting out suckers (auxiliary shoots between the stems and the leaves) to produce larger fruit. Fruit also ripens earlier since the sun can reach it more easily. Fertilize at planting time. Water deeply, plants also respond well to trickle or drip irrigation. Indeterminate varieties are usually sliced. Determinate varieties are usually used for canning since they ripen at about the same time. Harvest by picking when fruit is fully ripe, flavor is better when ripened on the vine. If early frost threatens in fall, covering the plants with burlap or blankets at night may help extend the harvest season.

Best for Vancouver climate
Reviewed By: Pocketfish (Richmond, BC)
We've been growing this tomato on our family farm for more years than I can remember. It stores exceptionally well, and produces very heavily: just this week during the last picking before frost I took 800 lbs of good tomatoes off of 400 plants, and during the height of the season 150-200lbs a week... and there was lots of room for improvement. Also worthy of mention is that for a hybrid it tastes fantastic, given that you don't use excessive amounts of fertilizer. A low N.P.K. all purpose fertilizer will do fine.

I have tried these tomatoes as they ripen early, but you loose the taste. I recommend Brandywine. I start them indoors in yogurt cups and they ripen by end of August...they taste amazing

WOW what a producer
Reviewed By: Jeff (Humboldt, TN)
I purchased 3 to 4 tomato plants from our local carrier and everyone of them did not produce a thing. I purchased these seeds and decide to give it another try. I planted these around mid July enough for 2 plants. Man oh Man I have tomato's running out my ears and they are still producing. I have eat them and frozen them. Will plant more next year and if these produce this great can' wait to see how the Gurney's Burgermaster VFFNT do!!!
