Where to buy tomatoes?
I like to buy the small plants in the Dixie cup size container, but it
looks like the big box stores (HD, Lowes, Wal-Mart, etc) have "upsized" to a larger plant. They all seem to carry Bonnie brand. Any suggestions on other places to buy? I do plan to get a few from Craig/NCTomatoman when he is at the Farmer's Market in a couple weeks. |

If you're in North Raleigh, try Homewood nursery, in previous years they have had tomatoes in 4packs, some heirloom, some hybrid standbies. If you in Cary/Holly Springs, try Fairview nurseries. I have no clue if they are any good, but they've been advertising the hell out of the matter that they start their own plants. I'd also suggest the yellow pages, google maps, and the phone. And the bulk of the bonnie plants are produced by Metrolina Greenhouses. You can try calling them and finding out what sizes they are distributing this year. Be warned that the very wet growing season last year did have an impact on easy coast seed producers. Some seed sales companies are having difficulty providing enough seed. I've also had very poor germination rates on sweet peppers this year. -- Chris Dukes |
