Early Girl

• Early girl is an indeterminate type of tomato plant that produces 4- to 6-ounce tomatoes. Indeterminate means the plant grows taller than others that are determinate. This tomato plant can grow 5 to 6 feet tall and should be supported by a tomato cage. Early girl tomato plants should be planted in full sun and prefer rich soil that is kept moist. Place black plastic or a black tire around the base of the plants for added heat, which will help with earlier ripening.
  
  

Celebrity

• Celebrity tomato plants are determinate so they do not need staking or tomato cages. Celebrity tomatoes are firm, red and usually weight 7 to 8 ounces. These plants will produce tomatoes within 70 days of planting and are highly productive. For best growth, keep the soil moist to prevent wilting. The best time to water is late in the afternoon; just make sure the plants have time to dry before nightfall.
