I am growing early girl because I want a tomatoe that will be an early
harvest.  Thats the only reason why I chose early girl.  I grew it last year
and harvested alot of tomatoes.  But, I planted everything very late, so I
cannot say how early I would have started picking tomatoes.  

Why would you consider Brandywine splitting losing the tomatoe.  Wouldn't the
taste be the same despite the splitting?  I went to Behnkes (local nursury)
tomatoe taste-off last year and really enjoyed Cherokee purple.  I can't
remember what Sioux tasted like, but I read its good in Tomatoe Growers
catalog.  

I can't wait to see my square foot garden trellis covered with vines.  I'm
outta squares now.  (I have 2 4x4 blocks).  

Out of the 8 squares along the trellis are:  Brandywine,Cherekee Purple,Early
girl,Sungold, Sioux, Kentucky Wonder Pole Bean(1square), snap peas(1 square),
and 1 Amira cucumber plant and 1 Lemon Cucumber in 1 square.

The other squares are filled with varities of lettuce (Little Gem, Black
Seeded Simpson, Forellenschlus, Buttercrunch, Bibb, and Oakleaf)

2 squares have Touchon carrots.  1 square of Bright Lights Swiss Chard.  2
squares of wrinkly spinach. 1 square of D'avignon french breakfast radish, 1
square of purpletop turnips.  1 square of Chives.  2 of Marigolds and 2 of
Nasturtium. 1 square of Big Bertha pepper, 1 of Fat n Sassy pepper, 1 of
Garden Salsa pepper.  

JUST THOUGHT I'D SHARE THAT WITH YOU ALL!!!!!!!!
