Last minute tomato plants, anyone?

Farm Where Life is Good

The leftover cherries need a good home.

We have a handful of cherry tomato seedlings remaining after filling up the high tunnel. They are not your “Gerten” varieties nor the “Gertens” sizes, but they will grow well if treated kindly. All are indeterminate, meaning they grow until frost. It also means they do best when pruned frequently and grown in a vertical manner. They don’t have to go that way, but they can get unruly otherwise! (I am happy to train anyone who wants to learn tomato pruning. Piece of cake!)

They will come as 2 inch, naked root balls and will need to be transplanted immediately/same day as delivery. (Trim all leaves up to top cluster, plant in 6-8 inch trench, on its side with top leaf cluster just above the soil surface.)

Beam’s Yellow Pear

The Market has them listed under “live plants”.

Ordering will be open from Sunday morning until Monday 8pm. Get your orders in now so harvesting can begin specific to your requests.

Deliveries will be made Wednesday per usual to your chosen Dropsite Location .

Have a wonderful week, and enjoy the anticipation of homegrown tomatoes.

We hope to feed you soon!
