Anyone know Tomatobabycompany.com?

smullig · January 12, 2009

After lurking around for about a year I figured I'd ask a question. Does anyone have experience with tomatobabycompany.com? It seems that most folks here grow from seed, as I used to do, but I'm getting lazier and find that this source seems to have most of the plants I would like at a good price. Anybody know anything about them?

I haven't personally purchased from her but I have looked the place up and found a lot of good words to say about the business.

If you look on the plant and seed source area of this forum you will find a few more good folks to get plants from too.
Some are active members of this forum and are very reputable.

Thanks Worth. I'll look around a bit more here as well.

Hello. I've gotten tomato seedlings from Alaina at Tomatobaby.com the past 3 years and the plants have been good-sized (6 -18 inches) and healthy. The plants from Darrel (Fusion_Power is his name on this forum) have been great as well. You can't go wrong with either one. - Mark

Mark,

Thanks for the info. I noticed Darrel's site from doing some searching here and I agree that he has some interesting stuff as well. Hope you don't have the lovely weather that we are having in the Chicago area. It's making me look fondly toward spring.

I purchased several tomato and pepper plants from Tomato Baby last year and they all did really well. The tomato plants were around 18 inches, and produced better than the plants I started from seed. Alaina also answered many questions that I had about the varieties she carries.

Comamma,

Thanks for the thumbs up for tomatobaby. I'm waiting for her to update her offerings. She indicated that she will do so around the beginning of March.

She just updated all her offerings on the 21st; she seems to be slowly adding some of the more different varieties.

Mark,

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Old thread, I know, but I ordered 10 plants from her this year after drowning my started-from-seed plants.

I received 14 HUGE plants (probably 18-24") that, though quite stressed, pulled through BEAUTIFULLY and are thriving. She had many of the varieties I was interested in. If I fail with seeds again next year, I will definitely order from her again!
