In reply to Sylvia Gardner. I like Big Beef, but it may take longer. Rutgers and Better Boy (indeterminates), Stupice and Glacier (compact determinates) might also be good substitutes.

I have grown Early Girl tomatoes successfully for years. They are the right size (6-8 oz), the right color, (nice red), and have a firm skin that does not crack on the vine and lasts long on the kitchen counter. This year, there are no Early Girl tomatoes available. “(Seeds did not sprout)”. What tomato would you suggest for a substitute.

In reply to Brad Robicheaux. Hi Brad, here's a link to 5 of our favorite tomatoes to grow. I would also recommend Big Beef and Polbig - both are big red round tomatoes with good flavor. You'll never go wrong with Sungold or Chocolate Cherry tomatoes. If you want something really different, try Brad's Atomic Grape, Green Zebra, or Wapsipinicon Peach. ;)
