I do not think most garden centers stock them - when I asked Gardens if
they would stock fall tomatoes they said they would not because it is
pretty hard to convince people to go out into the garden and nurture the
young plants in July/August.

You could try to root tomatoes you might already have. I plan on cutting
mine back and letting them regrow.

You could root a few of what I have if you want. I have, Sweet million,
Persimmon, Lemon boy,Black cherry, Black Krim, Sweet one hundred, Yellow
pear, Green zebra, Costoluto Genovese, Jaune Flamee, Donna, Cherokee
Purple. You could get a stem of any of these and root them.

If you want cuttings contact me at rsaldanh and the domain indicated in
the headers.

I bought some Celebrity to day, but they were $2 each in 4 inch pots.
Checked with Calloway(San Antonio) and they gave me the shrug. Don't know
when they will have any in, "Check back in a week". Timing is very critical
in the fall and the time is now to get the fall crop started. I bought a
few from the guy but not as many as I would like. I think there will be
some on the market in the next couple of weeks.

It's not too late to start from seeds in tubs.

Red Barn always carries them. I got in late and planted some a few
days ago. They are probably just an exercise in futility, but I had to
try, goldarnit.
