I'm the speedy one of the bunch the Early Girl Tomato. Known for my prompt arrival, I kick off the tomato season with a flourish of bright, round fruits. I don't just come early; I bring a full, tangy flavour that's just right for slicing into salads or cooking down into a rich sauce. With a compact growth habit, I'm perfect for those who can't wait to taste the first tomatoes of the year.
For tomatoes, a sunny spot is non-negotiable, as they require 6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day. They prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0 to 7.0) that is rich and drains well. Consistent watering is key to prevent blossom end rot—aim for at least 1 inch of water per week, more in hot weather. Tomatoes benefit from regular feeding once they start to set fruit. Provide support with cages or stakes, and prune as necessary to encourage air circulation and reduce disease risk. Monitor for tomato hornworms and other pests.

Planting 4" potted herbs and vegetables is a straightforward way to enhance your garden. Select varieties like basil, parsley, tomatoes, and lettuce that thrive in your climate. Ensure they're planted in a sunny spot, whether in containers, raised beds, or directly in the ground. Carefully remove the plants from their pots, place them in slightly larger holes, and fill in with soil, pressing down lightly. Water thoroughly and maintain consistent soil moisture, preferably watering in the early morning. Keep an eye out for pests and diseases, use organic control methods, and remove weeds promptly. Harvest herbs by trimming leaves as needed and pick vegetables at peak ripeness. This approach is ideal for a productive and flavorful garden.
