Hello gardeners! We hope your winter planning season went well. (you have been planning your spring garden, haven’t you?) More now than ever, it is important for you to be food independent, and as a result we’ll have a bumper supply of seedlings available. Please call for availability though as weather during the next few weeks may affect the supply. IMPORTANT NOTICE! Every Saturday, starting April 31, 10am-2pm, I will be set up at Roscoes, 94 Green River Rd, Zirconia. Click HERE for a map.
All tomato seedlings when available in 3″ pots, $1.50/pot. 32 pots per tray: $40.00
Pink Berkley Tye Dye
Berkeley Tie Dye Pink is the superstar tomato of the year. It has fabulous flavor, vivid stripes and almost glows in the dark. Carefully developed by a tomato breeder in Berkeley, it’s too new to be an heirloom, but is as tasty as Brandywine, gorgeous as Black Krim, as well behaved as Rutgers Select, and was developed by a gardener, not a chem lab. Days to maturity: 70
Mr. Stripey
A pale yellow tomato with pinkish-orange blush, and occasionally, green stripes, Mr. Stripey is a delicate beefsteak with low acid content that allows its sweetness to shine. The flavor boasts notes of melon, and the firm skin provides a nice contrast to the tender flesh when eaten raw. Days to maturity: 85
Chef’s Choice Orange
Chef’s Choice Orange F1 is a hybrid derived from the popular heirloom Amana Orange which matures late in the season. Now you can experience the wonderful flavor of an orange heirloom tomato in only 75 days from transplant. Its disease resistance is an added bonus. Chef’s Choice Orange has a wonderfully bright, almost neon, internal color and superior flesh taste and texture for an early maturing orange tomato. Excellent for soups and sauces because the intense color does not fade or discolor when cooked. Home chefs are going to love cooking with this variety as well as eating it fresh.Average size fruits are 12 ounces but can weigh up to 1 pound. Large 5-foot tall plants are indeterminate and the leaves cover fruit well to protect from sunburn. Days to maturity: 75
Chef’s Choice Yellow
Tomato lovers and culinary gardeners will rave about this large, meaty delicacy. Gorgeous, 10 ounce beefsteak-type, fruits have a sweet, citrus-like flavor with just the right amount of acid and the perfect tomato texture. Plants produce loads of 6″ to 7″, golden yellow fruits. Resistant to Crack and Scab. Days to maturity: 85
