It’s still chilly in the Houston area, but warmer, sunny weather is in the forecast. Soon it will be time to get our tomato, pepper, and tomatillo plants in the ground. We normally plant out around the second weekend in February due to our mild, zone 9 location along the Gulf Coast. Of course, those further north are still living in an icebox for a few more months …
We started hundreds of seeds indoors several weeks ago, and the seedlings are now ready to be potted up into larger containers. Another few weeks of nurturing and the plants will be ready to venture out into the garden. It’s amazing how fast the cycle goes from a tiny seed, to transplant, mature plant, then fruiting and essentially back to seeds, if saved, ready to start the process all over again the next season. For those new to gardening or just needing a refresher, make sure to check our tomato planting guide.
We have updated our Store with available varieties and quantities for those in the local area who can pick up their plants (we don’t ship). We will have over 30 different varieties again, including many hard to find heirlooms. Pick-up day will be February 14, 2015 in League City, Tx. Those placing orders will receive detailed information on pick-up details as the date gets closer. Log in to My Account to view your previous orders. Order early for best selection!
