I've heard Seeds of Change does - I do know their seeds are all organically grown and gathered, so that's a plus (I just ordered their catalog so I could find out.

Thank-you, if they do, I don't see where on their website.
I don't want "seeds" though, I want "tomatoes"!

Tia, where are you from? It's pretty hard to tell you where to go get buy tomatoes when we don't know where you live.

We live in Iowa, in about the middle of the state. So I know, we wouldn't be able to find them this time of year. But was trying to find out if there is any available.

Acronyms... bah humbug! :wink:


Anyway, try local gardening clubs and nurseries. I don' t have time to ask around right now, but I'll get in touch with my heirloom buddies.

I know that you don't want seeds but, take this into consideration. You can spend from 3 dollars up to 30 dollars on a tomatoe plant but, a packet of seeds will cost you at most 2 dollars. From which you can easily grow between 4 and 30 tomatoe plants. (based on the number of seeds you get)

Also, tomatoe seeds are good for up to 4 years so, you can save the seeds for next year as well. (BONUS)

Just something to think about.
