I wanted to share a really good experience ordering from Laurel's Heirloom Tomatoes. The customer service was outstanding and the plants look fantastic. From phone call (answered by Laurel herself) to unpacking was less than 48 hours, California to N. Florida.

I'm so happy with my order and can't wait for the first ripe tomato!
The toms will each have their own smart pot, some in 25 gal., some in 30.Well, I had no idea that tomato plants could be shipped across country. I know they are trucked from Bonnie Plant farm to retail locations, but did not know UPS or USPS could handle that. I have trouble keeping mine together when going from the green house to the garden.
Good luck with your plants.

I've ordered from Laurel for four years now. I have always been happy with the condition the tomatoes arrive in plus she has a wonderful selection of tomatoes to choose from. I was new to tomato growing just four short years ago and Laurel took the time to give me some pointers and encouragement. Also, because of Laurel, I was introduced to many varieties I would not have known about. She is one of the few places that you can get Purple Haze which is delicious. Her website is really fun with great descriptions. She ships all over the country so if you need tomato plants, she is an excellent source.

I made extensive use of her rating codes for heat tolerance. I just love her website and go back to it for reference all the time. Wish I had a lot more room!
Here are some pics of how the plants have grown in the 3 weeks since receiving. They are at least tripled in size.
