Where to Source Dwarf Seedling Around Charlotte, NC?
This will be my second year with dwarf toms and I am looking for a source for seedlings in the Charlotte, Rock Hill area. Last year I hooked up with Craig when he came to Gastonia as part of his book, speaking tour. Anyone growing dwarf toms around here? I expect to pay for the convenience of not driving to Raleigh for whomever is growing out the following...
Perth Pride (2) Summer Sweet Gold (2) Blazing Beauty (2) Rosella Purple (1) Summer Sunrise (1) Beryl Beauty (1) Tsar's Royal Gift (1) - Okay, not a dwarf but only my list of must have I have also been preaching the gospel of Dwarf Tom's to several friends and the above quantities could be increased for friends and neighbors. In other words, copying shamelessly from Field of Dreams, "if you grow them, they will come" (well, I will come and pay for them and deliver to friends, family and neighbors). Any recommendations on who may be growing the above in this area will be most appreciated. Planning out my garden now and securing supply of the above seems critical. Thanks! BytheNbrs |

By...if you spend a little time researching how to grow tomato seeds out...you can have unlimited varieties through online seed vendors. It is fun, pretty inexpensive...and really not that hard to learn.

I think those are not popular enough to be grown commercially to be sold as plant. Or I cannot recall seeing them in BBS nurseries. But there might be small local nurseries to offer some of them.
Fusion Power is the only one who can give you a good answer. He is a grower and sells plants by the mail. Gardeneer |

BVV, thanks for the reply. When should I contact you again about coordinating a time to pick these up (and cost)? April? Please advise. Again, thanks!
