Seeking "Mountain Fresh" Tomato Plants
I'm searching for any garden centers or growers who sell :Mountain
Fresh" tomato plants. The plants I started from seed were destroyed in a storm, and now I have to start over. I've called more than 50 places in my area (Wisconsin) and no one has even heard of this variety. I grew "Mountain Fresh" last year and my family said they were the best tomatoes they've ever had. I'd really like to get some for this year but I don't know where to look. Any replies appreciated/ |

In my area, it's far too late to start anything from seed, so I need to find someplace where I can order plants. If anyone has leads or ideas, please let me know. |

I need someone who sells plants. If anyone has leads on greenhouses or companies that sell these plants, I'd appreciate it. |

I need someone who sells plants. If anyone has leads on greenhouses or companies that sell these plants, I'd appreciate it. Burpee sells plants, although I'm not sure if they are still shipping them at this time of year. I believe Park also sells plants. Some years ago, I read that it made little sense to pay for big tomato plants instead of smaller ones of the same variety. Little is gained in terms of earlier harvest, and the smaller plants catch up to the bigger ones in size VERY quickly. As it turns out, this is true, at least in my upstate NY garden. I don't know if one can extrapolate too far with this idea, and say that VERY small plants will perform as well as bigger ones, but it might be true. My conclusion: You're losing time with every day that goes by. It's probably worth the risk to buy the seeds and stick some in the ground, since you really want this particular variety. You might be surprised at the results, even with late planting. But, buy a plant or two of some other variety as insurance. |

Wisconsin get frost in Aug.? These are supposed to be 65 day tomatoes. I'd say you have a good chance. Break out the cold frame. You want plants? They were developed at Penn State. Maybe they can tell you who is growing, shipping, buying the seed. Email Harris Seed and find out who their supplier is. Maybe the seed supplier can suggest a nursery supplier who grows the plants. You want the plants? Roll up your shirt sleeves and get to work. - Bill Coloribus gustibus non disputatum (mostly) |
