Growing Tomatoes

online source for tomato plants on West Coast

9 years ago

Hi everyone,

I'm having difficulties navigating this new houzz/gardenweb site so forgive me. I'm trying to find sources for tomato plants on the West Coast, or at least someplace that's not terribly far from WA. I purchased plants last year from selectplants.com out in Alabama, which I found here on the gardenweb site. The quality was very good. I paid about $30 shipping for 9-4" plants, but when I checked shipping prices this year (through Fed Ex, UPS, and USPS) rates were all hovering around $70+! So I'm hoping someone know of a reputable dealer closer to WA where shipping costs won't be so astronomical. I have a greenhouse (2nd growing season) so I'm able to start tomato plants about a month before they're available in my local nurseries. Thanks in advance for any info!
