Chef Jeff's?

duajones · February 25, 2007

While at the local HEB plus today, I ran into what were the best looking tomato seedlings that I have seen in town this year, including the local nurseries. They even had several heirloom varieties including cherokee purple, capsian pink and others. The seedlings all looked real healthy. Not for sure that the name on the seedlings was Chef Jeff's, but I think thats what it was. Any of you have experience with the brand?

I used the Chef Jeff plants last year. They were some of the best I've ever planted. They were good strong plants and even though I put them out early, they made it though a couple of late cool spells.

I've used their plants before in the past. They are pretty good, and I never ended up with one that wasn't true to type.

RonnyWil,

Wow, thanks for that link!! I have Googled "Chef Jeff's" before several different ways and got no useful results. That's a great list of varieties from them and useful info.

Chef Jeff's seedlings will appear at Houston Plant & Garden World on I-45 on the feeder just South of FM-1690 sometime in March. That is where I bought a Cherokee Purple and Old German, although I planted too late and in too poor a soil to get much results but what I got was also true to type.
