The same planting methods as the others, mostly Early Girls. I used Miracle Grow potting soil when I planted them and it must have had more nitrogen than it should. Some of the Early Girls are six feet high and the Sun Sugar reaches about seven feet.

I was wondering if I cut away some of the foliage it would help the fruit to grow.
