Tomato Starts now in Gallon size

Two weeks ago, in the nursery.

[Drum roll, please]  Now introducing: gallon tomatoes!  Hurrah!! More than

12 varieties available.  Early Girl, Sweet 100s and Sungolds are a few of the selection now in the Farm Store.

Other tomato gallons include Big Beef, Chocolate Cherry, Yellow Pear.  [These are the Indeterminate vining type.]  Don’t forget to pickup the handout re: planting instructions.  Looking for a certain tomato?

We’ve got starts suited for pot containers or in the garden so use cages or short stakes.  These are: Bush Early Girl, Bush Goliath, Sunny Goliath, Viva Italia and Husky Cherry Red. [These are the Determinate vining type.]

If you are plantings in pots, remember that the Indeterminates require at least a 7-gallon pot and something to climb on.  If you use a smaller 3- or 5- gallon pot, use a Determinate variety.

Whether you are an experienced gardener or you are starting out, we’ve got answers to your questions.  Thoughts of BLTs come to mind and tongue, mmmmm.

Tomato starts have arrived!

Did you know our tomatoes are grown from seed, without artificial heat?
We use no pesticides, fungicides or growth stimulants.  This makes the plants healthier; they acclimate better to life outdoors.  Each pot is fertilized with Walt's Organic Fertilizer.  In fact, it great for all vegetables!

We grow both indeterminate vining type [for example, Early Girl and Sweet 100] and determinate types [Bush Early Girl, Viva Italia and Husky Cherry Red to name only a few].  When you come in, we'll tell you how to plant them for the best crop.

We've mentioned only a few so stop by or call to ask if we have the one you're wanting to plant in your garden.  If an heirloom tomato is your desire, choose Brandywine.  It requires more care to grow and time to ripen, but worth it!  Deep pink skin with stunning red flesh and a very rich tomato flavor.

In two weeks, we'll have them in gallon size.

Vegetable and herb starts are also available, totaling around 14 types, ranging from beans (several varieties) to spinach. 

We look forward to seeing you.
