Finding Heirloom Tomatoes this Spring

18 years ago

I'm having a heck of a time finding heirloom tomatoes this year. Most of the nurseries have the old standbys (Brandywine, Mr. Stripey, etc..), but that's it. I don't know if I can get through a summer without Cherokee Purple! Hastings, Pikes, and Habersham have all been waiting for their shipments. I believe one of the suppliers last year was a company called Jeff's Chef. Has anyone found a really good source this Spring?

If you live near Atlanta, check out the postings on Holy Comforter.
Village Hardware on Glenwood in East Atlanta also carries Heirloom Tomatoes.

Thanks GGG. I did see that post earlier, but I got the impression that they only have plant sales every once in a while. Do they have a retail plant store with regular business hours?

No, it's just a church. But they will sell Tues. Thurs. from 10-12 noon.
Village Hardware in East Atlanta has heirlooms and regular hours. Some of the stock from Holy Comforter is often there.
