I was going to setup a tomato stand and sell them.
I had big boy and better boy.

And I just answered your request for a place to buy plants where you just posted it, but since I haven't looked at Darrel's list for a while I don't know if he offers those two hybrids, but I gave you a link and you can check it out as to what he is offering and if not he can suggest some equivalent varieties, etc.

It is not that hard to grow out 500 plants on your own- if you do this next year it could save you a good bit of margin.

I started nearly 200 plants just on a large metal rack with $20 shop lights. Then I hardened them out in this greenhouse, which is probably too thin and shabby for some climates, but does fine for Texas. You would need a bigger greenhouse for 500 plants, or course.

What kind of tempuraturs does your greenhouse reach, obviously hot enough to get your plants off to a good start?
