Tomatoes. A rant. Longish. [View all]

I just went out looking for tomato plants for my garden. Do you know that you can't find the little six-packs of tomatoes anymore? The stores want 3.49 for ONE plant in a pot!

This is kind of a long story, so you can quit here if you want. LOL

The past few years I have started my own tomatoes from seed. I always ended up with way too many plants because I had to plant just about every seedling. Well, last year Gurney's had a really good deal on heirloom plants. Maybe 6 plants for 5.99 or something like that. They were really huge and yummy, so I planned to just buy them again. However, they did not repeat this offer this year for whatever reason. And their plants were expensive.

In the middle of the pre-season, I ended up in the hospital with a long recovery afterwards. Now it is June and here I am without one lousy tomato plant.

I am ready to pull my hair out at this point. I am thinking if i wait a few weeks, the stores might mark down those individually potted plants. At least I hope so!
