Hi Michelle,

For a short season, have you tried Early Girl F1? It does have flavor and some folks like it. Rita above writes that she gets as many as 15 tomatoes from a Brandywine. Last year, my mom harvested 105 Early Girls from a single plant. Even if you get half as many as she did, that's 52 tomatoes. Even if they're only half the size of a brandywine, that's 26 brandywine-equivalent-size tomatoes. If they're not your favorites for flavor, they still cook up well & make tasty sauce & soup. Plus they have some disease tolerance for wilts.

Try one!
