Overview
Valley Girl is an early hybrid slicer whose main virtue is fruit set under temperature stress: it keeps setting when hot nights make other varieties drop their blossoms, which helps bridge spring and fall crops in the Gulf South. Fruit is medium, about 6 to 8 ounces, globe-shaped, firm, smooth and crack-resistant, deep red with classic balanced flavor. Listed resistance covers Verticillium wilt and Fusarium races 1 and 2, and it is widely adapted. The plant is described as determinate, though vigorous enough that some call it semi-determinate; stake or cage. Sow at 70 to 80F, transplant once nights stay above 50F, and pick regularly to keep it producing.
