Thought I had an Early Girl - New pics _

moulman · July 17, 2006

I know that there has been some discussion about seed mix-ups involving Early Girl. I bought some seed from TGS back in Feb. and ordered some EG.

I planted about 6 seeds, and only had one germinate. It grew fine and I planted it out in mid-May. It is now about 5' tall and fruiting.

But yesterday I was making the rounds, plucking suckers, weeds, etc. (This plant is in the back row, along a fence, so it doesn't get close inspection too often) and I realized that it has both RL and PL foliage!
The PL seems to be lower on the plant, mixed in with RL stems. Some stems have one and some the other.

I didn't think this was even possible.

All you experts....???
