End of season

THANK YOU to all my customers and fan club visitors for another great season at my farm! Sadly, my heirloom tomatoes and other veggies are drawing to a close for another season. I will miss your visits and wish you good health, love and happiness. As each day gets shorter, my naps get longer to dream about my heirloom tomatoes for 2016.

Until we meet again, keep safe and God bless you.

Closed until June 10 for Heirloom Tomato Plant Sales

My 2nd batch of tomato plants sold out this past Friday/Saturday with an unexpected demand. I was visited by my many fans and friends (old & new) and I greeted all with very loud purring when I received chin rubs and petting. I like keeping in touch with my customers even though I’m a “retired” indoor kitty now.

This spring’s weather conditions have been a significant challenge both for us as growers of heirloom tomato plants, as well as for our customers/fellow gardeners. The weather has been non-cooperative – too hot, too cold, too windy, and no significant rainfall. Currently, we are 5 inches below normal.

So I will be closed for about 2+ weeks, and will re-open on/about June 10 (if the weather cooperates) when I expect the 3rd and final batch of my tomato plants will size up sufficiently for sale and subsequent planting. IT WILL NOT BE TOO LATE FOR PLANTING TOMATOES. The ground will warm up (>65° F – 70° F) and the weather should be more conducive for planting. The key is warm ground and night-time temperatures above 45° F – 50° F (unless the plants are covered).

I apologize for this interruption in the heirloom tomato plant sale and any inconvenience it may cause you.

Thanks for your understanding and patience. Once again, planting after June 10 will still be early enough to plant your tomatoes in the garden.

Check my blog for updates. See you soon.

Heirloom Tomato Plants - Ready for Sale!

It's been a long winter! I am ready to see another garden season start, although I'm "retired" now and let Ken & Greta do the planting and tending of the garden.

My famous heirloom tomato plants are ready for sale. I will be open this week-end, May 9/10, from 12 Noon to 6 PM. My first batch of plants have sized up for selling with the unexpected warmth this week. This is my 6th season to offer heirloom tomato plants.

Following this week-end, I will be closed May 11 -13 (to take a long nap!) , and will re-open Thursday, May 14 from 12 Noon to 6 PM.

I anticipate having tomato plants available through the 2nd - 3rd week of June, possibly a little later, while each batch of plants size up. If you are traveling some distance, it wouldn't hurt to call / send e-mail to verify the tomato plants you're interested in are available. Sales are generally heavy on the weekends.

Please continue to check my blog for updated opening / closure dates dependent on weather and sales.
