"Our open pollenated tomato variety bred over 13 seasons to perform well in dry farmed culture in the Souther Santa Cruz County sun belt. Originally taken from second year volunteer tomato plants that germinated in a field planted the previous year with Early Girl Tomatoes." - Dirty Girl Produce's Store (barn2door.com)
"I am crazy about the name of this incredibly delicious, high producing, open-pollinated version of Early Girl! It was de-hybridized by Joe Schirmer, Dirty Girl Produce in Santa Cruz California. An organic grower, Joe spent the last 7 years growing out Early Girl into an open-pollinated version of Early Girl -- what we call a 'new' heirloom.
Dirty Girl produces in only 60 to 65 days, giving you huge harvests of perfect, yummy, 3 to 4 ounce salad size, red tomatoes with all the great qualities of Early Girl -- high production, early ripening and strong plants, with some added attractions for gardeners-- an far richer flavor and a bonus; you can save seeds!
Joe named it 'Dirty Girl' after his wife with whom he created Dirty Girl Farm. Yay Joe!
If you've got a wife or Mom, daughter, girlfriend or girl pal who spends a lot of time in the garden, this is the tomato for her.
Surprise your Dirty Girl! " - My Personal Favorites (heirloomtomatoplants.com)
