In the past a few people have mentioned places that I could find nice selections of Heirloom tomato plants not too far from me in Northern Connecticut. I got a late start this year and my plants are way behind where they normally are this time of year. I hope to plant out in just over 2 weeks and they are only an inch or so tall after transplanting into solo cups. A couple are really tiny still, and I don't think I want to plant because they will just be too far behind, but I will miss them in my garden. One is KB. It should not be too hard to find if I can find a couple of places with good heirloom selections. I would also like to have back up plans for some others in case they are still too small, and a couple good sized plants just to give me a head start while I wait for my own to catch up. If you know of places I would love to hear about them. I cannot remember where they said I could find them, or honestly, which forum it was on. Thanks!

Agway has a S* load
I bought more today
Baggotts may have some
https://www.baggottfamilyfarms.com/
Way too soon for in ground,I have them in holey dish pans.
I made a list,I am up to 16 different varieties.
I need chantix or something.

walmart has bonnie plants
I am waiting for ocean state job lot to get their plants in.

Agway is great!
Lowes / Home Depot / Walmart will always have something, just not the best.
Tractor Supply should have some

THanks, I know I can check the big box stores and Agway, but I was told about a couple of local nurseries that had really good selections, and I just can't remember where they are. I had never been to them but they were not too far away. I saw them advertise some place I think, but the local "reminder" is no longer being printed, which is where I probably saw it. But someone on either TV or here also recommended them and at least one other place.

I went out of my way to go to a greenhouse noted for it's oddball varieties,but their website neglected to mention they are wholesale only.

I am still searching, but this place has a number of the ones I was growing anyway, Including KB, Brandwine Sudduth, Anna Russian, and one I forgot to start, Azoychka. So I might pay them a call. The only problem is they take "pre-orders" which are now closed, and they say some varieties sold out as pre-orders but not which ones. So no idea if the ones I would be looking for would still be in stock. https://www.fosterhillfarmandgarden.com ... and-pepper

There is always Darrell Jones at Selectedplants - https://www.selectedplants.com/. He is a great guy and will be more than happy to help you if you give him a call. He has a huge list of heirlooms to choose from too. I had a friend that ordered from him and he walked her through which plants would do well in her climate as well as work for the purposes that she was growing them.

If you start seeds late you can dig them up in the fall and bring them indoors before the 1st frost to ripen indoors.
Big plants are less finicky about lighting conditions,but there is a danger of bringing in bugs along with the plants.
I had red tomatoes in january just in a windowsill.

Yes, if they didn't have what I wanted locally I could certainly try that. Do you know if Darrell is still shipping plants? The website only references 2020 info and pricing, not 2021.

I don't know for sure about this year. But I do think that I saw a post on another site where someone received their plants from him and they sounded pleased. He also keeps his inventory updated and he does have many highlighted as being available still. So I think that he is shipping this year.

I never use FaceBook but I found that FB marketplace and craigslist and great sources to find fantastic plants. I bought last week Black From Tula (I found that my seeds may not be true to original, so I am still planning to grow to see what it will produce but I am eager to try BFT), Black Opal, Mortgage Lifter (my seedling is still too small), Coyote, Jaded, Chocolate stripes, Falen's First Snow and several others. Do I need to add that I was paying $1-2 each and they are ready to blossom and over 1 ft tall. However, I had to travel up to 50 mi. Still better then 2.5 hours each way trip last year to get SunGold.

Foster Hill in Stafford Springs has ample varieties and stock.

Rock Meadow Farm in Union is equally endowed.

I visited both yesterday. Check their websites. Good luck!

Great, thank you!

Big Y food store had 4th of july hybrid gallon size plants for $6 ea.
A lot of the plants were super distressed,like they were in the truck too long in our recent weather.
Luckily the plants I bought were in better shaped than me.

I bought orange trees from ocean state job lot a few weeks ago.
Maybe I will see oranges on them while I can still remember what an orange is.
The last tree from seed I had 18 years and only had blossoms on it once.
The oranges were the size of walnuts.

I wonder then if oranges a are one of the types of fruit trees that need a second one near by to polinate with. I have never seen an orange tree in CT, unless it was a mock orange.

Orange trees are self-fertile.

I didn't want to risk it after decades so I bought 2
naturally, grown indoors during the fall/winter

It does have a mesh on the stem (where it was grafted?) so there are concerns about that, planting too deep.
I hate orange trees with prickers like the ones from seed.
