Default Sources for heirloom tomatoes in houston & corpus christi

Since my go to place in Houston - Another Place In Time - has closed their plant business I am looking for a place that has a lot of varieties. I do know Wabash, Buchanan's and Southwest Fertilizer, but am looking for a place that may have more.

If I have to I'll go to Austin. Suggestions there as well. Thanks.

Mike, if you have to go towards Austn, check Bloomers nursery in Elgin. I think their web address is bloomerselgin.com. Wouldn't have to go quiet as far as Austin. Could check for places in Brehnham and Giddings. Maybe Buffalo hardware in Houston. I don't know if they sell plants. But they carry just about anything else you can imagine.

Go up 290 from Cypress to Elgin at the other end of town take a right on 95 to Taylor it's on the right about a 1/2 mile or so up 95 just past memorial park.
Cant miss it.

Do not get confused with the first 95 you come to that goes south that is how you get to Bastrop.
At this point 95 and 290 become one for a while and then split back off.
While you are in town stop off at Meyer's Smokehouse.

Absolutely Meyer's Rules, years ago back in the 80's Southside had what we called Hot Guts.
At that time it was downtown and it didn't have a cure in it.
Now it does.
I wont eat there and they now have one in Bastrop.
I think it is 80% fat.
