Our 2008 Tomato Seedling Sale with Variety List
Love Apple Farm's 2008 Tomato Seedling sale dates: March 15 through May 31 (or while supplies last). Saturdays, Sundays, and Wednesdays from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. For those who absolutely, positively cannot make those sale times, a special appointment can be made by emailing Cynthia, but a minimum order of $50 applies.
Tomato plants are only available for pick-up at the farm, located at 9299 Glen Arbor Road, Ben Lomond, CA. Tomatoes in small pots are $3 each, and $5 each in large pots.
A single asterisk below denotes a variety that will not be ready for sale until April 2. A double asterisk means there are 20 or less seedlings of that variety available. First come, first served. I'm sorry, but you cannot reserve seedlings. If you are particularly enamored with something specific, email me the day before you want to come over to make sure I have stock of it. If you want to print out a copy of this page, print this document instead, as it is much tidier. Scroll down down down; for some reason, I cannot make this table come up closer to the text.
