I was in a local nursery in early March looking for specific varieties. Most of their seedlings were 12" tall, but they had a single tray of tiny little Black Cherry plants less than 3" tall for $0.75 each. I bought some of the heirloom, 12" tall plants and on impulse, I bought four of the tiny plants. I didn't expect the tiny plants to perform well and was concerned if they really were Black Cherry because of their size. They have now taken over their space and are equal in size to the larger plants. It seems the size of purchased seedlings doesn't matter a lot if the growing conditions are good.Bobberman wrote:Agway has a nice variety of seeds. Don't be fooled by the bigger tomato plant at $5 each compare to a half the size 6 pak for $3. The smallr tomatoes seem to catch up with the big tomato in no time and even look stronger! I alwas look for the healthy stems and not the size!
