Frequently Asked Questions

Picture
 

    One of my favorite Saturday Night Live quotes; Dana Carvey as Ross Perot... "there are no stupid questions, only stupid people"

  I of course take this to mean 'those that don't ask, choose to remain stupid... '

   And also, there are a few out there who will call or email and ask the following, after I have so painstakingly taken the time to publish this via the inter-web...  :) 


    • Can I come to your place and Pick Up plants?
    I’m sorry but I am just to busy during the growing season to entertain guests at my little greenhouse, I’m usually out working late into the night or before dawn…not a terribly convenient schedule I’m afraid.

    • When will my plants ship?
    When they have at least two sets of true leaves…I don’t have a heated greenhouse so my little plants grow slow. I’ll try to ship between Mon & Wed, the first or second week of March, later orders…well, later.

    • Do you sell seeds?
    No, but there are several great web-sites built just for this -accessible through my links page.

    • Can you recommend specific varieties for: heat, humidity, containers, hydroponics, flavor, most toxic to cats, etc…
    No. I do what I can to provide a little info about each plant and leave it up to you to research and trial from there. 

    • Will I have to ‘harden off’ my plants?
    Yes, transplants will arrive stressed do to shipping, and are coming from a greenhouse envoiroment and therefor should be babied… set out in a position protected from wind and hot afternoon sun for a couple of days then gradually moved into more light & wind before being set in there permanent homes. 

  • Caring for your new tomatoes    = link to a very helpful info page  

    • Why are the different varieties different sizes?
    Different tomato varieties germinate faster, and others grow slower = different sized plants.

    • Why do you sell out so fast? Why must we order so early?
    I am only one, granted lazy, guy. I pull the plug when I feel I have taken all the orders I can process in a timely manner. If you wait too long I may not be able to fit you in :( Many varieties are produced in fairly limited numbers, some of the more obscure only as few as 8-10, so ordering early reserves your selections on a first come basis.
