Tomato Plants


Our plants typically are offered in a few different pot/plug sizes depending on the type of plant and availability (typical pot sizes are listed with each plant). The typical pot size offered is listed with each plant. Bear in mind that although a large plant may look impressive, small plants tend to transplant better. Small plants are less root-bound and have less roots overall to disturb. They adapt more quickly and are less prone to shock. 

  • 4 inch pot - The most common pot size we offer for tomatoes, peppers, flowers, and herbs. 
  • 3 inch pot - We typically offer succulents and other miscellaneous plants in this size.
  • 6 inch pot - We occasionally offer larger-size plants in these pots. 
  • 72-cell or 6-pack size - Veggies and some annual flowers are often offered at this size. 
  • 98-cell - Onion starts are offered in this size which is slightly smaller than 6-pack size.
  • Peat pot - Melons and squash are offered in peat pots because of their sensitive roots. Plant the entire pot in the ground to avoid harming the roots; the roots will grow right through the peat. These pots are about the size of a 3 inch pot.
  • 12 inch hanging basket - Large flowers are offered in these pots. 


  • Determinate - A variety that stops growing when it reaches a particular size and produces much of its fruit in a single flush over the course of a few weeks. These large flushes of fruit make determinate varieties great for gardeners who plan to can their crop.
  • Indeterminate - A variety that grows and produces fruit for the entire season. Typically, this necessitates more maintenance in the form of more extensive supports and pruning. The continuous fruit production of these varieties is perfect for gardeners who want fresh tomatoes to snack on all season.
  • Hybrid - A variety that is a cross of two other varieties, typically resulting in improved vigor and plant health.
  • Heirloom - Old, traditional, non-hybrid varieties.
