Tomato Plants
Madison farmers market
We will have 10 racks of plants at the 5/9 market. We will have aprox 145 tomato varieties. We currently have a classic case of trying to fit 10 lbs in a 5 lb sack. We still have about 1/4 of the plants to get transplanted.
Here is the printable Excel file of our tomato list tomatoes2009
When ready the file will be made in OpenOffice, but saved in Excel format so should be usable by most anyone. There may be a few changes as we organize the greenhouses. Here is a PDF file for anyone that wants to view it that doesn't have a spreadsheet program. tomatoes2009.pdf
We do have some plants that I started extra early that are now in gallon pots and some hanging tomato baskets.
Some pics
Our over stuffed Greehouse #3. Gallon pots in foreground on right. Some tiny plants waiting to be transplanted on the shelf just behind.
Plant racks ready for market. You can see that some plants are huge and some still rather small. That reflects the different times of seeding and transplanting.
The stuffed greenhouse #0. Last year this greenhouse was 90 feet long. Heavy Dec snow brought most of it down tho. We managed to fix up about 24 feet to use til we can fix the whole thing up this summer. Most of the stuff in here is for our own planting except for the baskets. We will have some of the tomato baskets at the 5/2 market. The Petunia baskets won't be ready for a couple of weeks.
New for 09, after years of requests, I will finally be shipping tomato plants. Give me an email if you need info before I get more posted here.
Prices will be $2.50 / plant with a 4 plant minimum order. Shipping will be 11.00 for 4 - 8 plants. They do not have to all be the same variety. All my plants are in 2401 packs and are getting rather large. Hence they have to be shipped in the large flat "flat rate" box.
7 or more plants will be $2.00 each. Email about shipping for more. It will depend on the size of the plants when you need them, if I can fit more in a box or not.
I will not put up any buy buttons for the plants. I want you to email me about availability and times needed. If you want plants, lets email or even talk about what you need and if I can do it for you. My cell number is in the pdf file below.
I will only ship on Mondays and Tuesdays by USPS Priority Mail so the plants don't sit in a post office over a weekend. Shipping will be based on what size flat rate box I need to use for an order. Obviously the more plants you order, the less shipping will be / plant. I should be able to put quite a few plants in the medium and large boxes I will know more after we have some plants to work with in the greenhouse.
Right now I intend to ship plants without pots. They will be wraped in damp paper toweling and each variety put in their own baggie. That will save space and cost for shipping.
We are really cramped for greenhouse space this year due to winds destroying one of my greenhouses. Because of that, I'm only planting about 1/2 as many flats / variety of all but a few of the most popular varieties.
For those of you closer to Milwaukee or West Bend, we will try to have our driveway stand open about the middle of May. It's a self-serve stand in the front yard. Someone is usually around to help you tho any time EXCEPT on Saturdays.
If you need any help or more info, please email me at the contact link on the sidebar.
I'm not sure what size pot I will be using yet this year. I will post later about size and prices for the farmers markets.
Until I have a chance to get the full list up, figure most if not all of last year's plants are still there. Here are some of the new varieties I expect to have available. Most I will only have 1 flat of as they are mostly varieties that are not available in bulk.
