Tomato Seedlings!
The daffodils are almost gone - just a couple of beds of white narcissuses are trying to fill the whole field with their aroma and mostly succeed, especially in the morning. However, if you are already bitten by a gardening bug - there are some tomatoes to pick-up. I usually plant lots of extras, anticipating that some would fail - but this year all of the seedlings are doing just great!
Below is the list and description of the different tomatoes available. The pot is $2 - and some carry 2+ seedlings. Please call 917-913-2425 to pick up those that will be producing excellent tomatoes for you the whole summer.
