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.
