5 out of 5 (Overall Rating) Perfect Container Tomato, July 21, 2008 Submitted by Yonatan from Jersey Shore "If you are in an apartment or town house and have to resort to container gardening, this is a one tomato I would recommend. The tomatoes are small (about 2" in diameter maximum), but if you use a 12" diameter pot, expect a bumper crops of these meaty little guys. I have one each in 8", 10", and 12" pots, and the largest pot produced like a fiend and early!"

5 out of 5 (Overall Rating) Very dependable-the best very early, May 28, 2008 Submitted by Peonyguy from Massachusetts "I have grown this corn for at least 20 years. Unlike the modern "supersweets" this corn will germinate in cold soil. Even if planted too early (even before the last light frost), I find that the seed will lay there in the ground , and not rot out. It comes up when it is ready, and well before any other sweet corn that I know. The plants are short, so it does not compete well with weeds. Because it sets ears so quickly, weed control and fertility are very important if you want full size ears. If the weeds get ahead of you, the resulting small ears taste just as good, but you need to eat a lot of them to get your fill. Because this is not a supersweet, it does not keep well, on the plant or in the refrigerater. It does not ripen very evenly, so a block of 4 or 5 short rows should keep you going for a week or so. Try to cook it within an hour of picking."

5 out of 5 (Overall Rating) They Are Early & Delicious, May 28, 2008 Submitted by Snuffy "It's true. Early Girl does give early, very tasty tomatoes. Here in Maryland, about midway between Baltimore and DC, I get my first ripe Early Girls a little before July 15, about six weeks after the weather gets "Summery" around here. Side by side with Celebrity and Rutgers and a few other varieties, Early Girl always gives ripe tomatoes 2 weeks sooner. (I've started the seeds indoors around March 1st for the past four years) This year I got confused and over excited, and started my seeds on January 24, 2008, and they are ridculously advanced, i have two 2 inch diameter Early Girl tomatoes already! (May 28, 2008) I'll be eating a tomato by June 15 this year, Yum Yum!So always grow at least one Early Girl, because: Ripens 2 weeks earlier than other good tasting tomatoes Will grow well in 14 inch pots on a South East facing patio with about 7 hours of direct sunlight (that's how I grow 'em, less than optimal conditions) I tried "4th of July" variety one year, they ripen even earlier, but I didn't like the flavor at all."

5 out of 5 (Overall Rating) Indispensable in the tomato garden, May 29, 2008 Submitted by jolietjim from Chicago IL "This is the earliest, best tasting tomato I have ever grown. It tastes better than most mid and late season tomatoes, produces more tomatoes, and never stops until frost. The fruits are not as large as others, but the flavor and the quantity make up for their smaller size. No, in most places, 4th July tomatoes won’t be ready for picking on the 4th. Here is Chicago, it has been so cold, I won’t be planting until I get these plants in early June. Normally, we get our first 4th of July tomatoes in mid July. That is not too long a wait for me. We grow other tomatoes (Celebrity, Beefsteak types), but the wait is so long, the 4th of July tomatoes really insure a long tomato-eating season."

5 out of 5 (Overall Rating) 1st attempt at corn was a hit!, December 31, 2007 Submitted by Anonymous Reviewer from Geneseo, NY "This was my first attempt at growing corn. We grew 5 rows of corn, and it grew fine. Some of the ears were on the small side, but we had a decent crop, and the corn was DELICIOUS! We plan on having this again in our garden next year....only more of it!"

I always ended up with the cages bent over and the plants growing on the ground! Not anymore!!! These cages are super-strong and definitely worth the purchase!"

5 out of 5 (Overall Rating) Great little squashes!, September 3, 2007 Submitted by migardener "I'm a "one-woman show" and planted only one hill of these little guys. They have provided me with plenty of squash for the table. I love them steamed with a little bit of garlic butter and salt. The squash vine borers didn't attack them either. Will plant again next year."
