Greetings ! Last Sunday we sold out of the starts we had, and hung out a sign saying so after everything was gone. We had planned to finish off the rest in this coming Sunday’s sale …. but they’ve all been spoken for throughout the week via email requests and calls. We are very sorry if anyone was disappointed in not getting a start this year. This is the first year we’ve posted on the blog – and while the process is a little complicated for a small seasonal operation, we hope to be better organized next year; and also hope that this summer is a good one for tomatoes.
thanks again to all.
