where to get some tomato seedlings

this year I am growing both Black Cherry and sun sugar as my cherry tomato varieties.... I have never grown either one before, but have heard good things about them

for next year I am interested in adding Sunchocola and Lemon Drop, as, from every review I have heard, they taste fantastic as well

my problem is, I have neither the ability nor the interest in growing from seed...I realize that's heresy here, but that's the way it is...I have a great tomato garden and they were all planted as seedlings and that's the way I'm gonna continue

so, having said that, and dug in my heels... :mrgreen: ...anybody know where I can get seedlings/baby plants of these two varieties...sunchocola and lemon drop?

thanks

ps-edit...oh, sorry, I don't know where my mind is these days...also, Matt's Wild cherry....I watched david kroska's youtube video and have slso read extensively about this variety, and I would also like to add it...anybody with thoughts about any of these 3...thanks a lot

Well, unfortunately, that is one of the reasons that people grow from seed -- there's an endless variety available from seed and a very limited variety available as plants.

If you are going to find what you are looking for, it will probably be on-line.

This place California Heirloom Tomato Plants, seems to have a big variety of plants including your lemon drop:

Territorial Seed also sells transplants and they had your sunchocola,

They re both sold out now, but you were talking about next year. For next year, if you want exotic heirloom tomato plants, look on line. And yes I have bought lots of plants on line, shipped to me, and they have generally arrived in good condition and done well.
