Better Boy vs Early Girl
I have grown Early Girl for many years and had great success but last year could not find them at my favorite nursery so I went with Better Boy and was very happy with my results.The production and flavor were excellent.I bought my plants yesterday but will hold off planting for a week or so because we are still having night time temps in the high 30's.But to make sure I have them I bought them before they sell out.My other choice I always grow are another favorite Black Krim but that's a subject for another day.I know the soil can make a difference in flavor,I try to add different winter cover crops.Last year I went with blend of winter rye,yellow sweet clover,hairy vetch,alfalfa,buckwheat and daikon radishes.My garden is small a little over 200 sq.ft.Who else grows these tomatoes and how do you compare the two,flavor and production?
