Selected Plants

16 years ago

I see that some one is not happy with Laurel's heirloom tomatos, but I would definently reccomend selected plants. I tried to start tomato seedlings, but unusual cool weather in March killed them basically. I was very nervous after loosing the plants that my tomato season would be shot. After talking to the owner of selected plants, I received the tomato plants a week later (end of March). They shipped from Alabama to Saint Simons Island, GA. VIA postal service and they arrived timely and in great condition. Out of the 9 plants that I received I kept 3, the rest i gave to family and friends. The three i kept were Kellogg's breakfast, Eva's Purple Ball,and Red Brandy wine. These have preformed better than the hybrid's that I have planted at the same time. I believe that is b/c of the quality of the plants that I received from Selected Plants. The Kelloggs Breakfast has produced fruit over 1 lb. that are still green and growing, and the other 2 are loaded with fruit and flowers. My hybrids are growing good, but not producing as much fruit, although growing in the same soil and conditions in the same raised bed. I wish I could post pictures to show the quality of the plants and fruit, does anyone know how? Oh yeah, thank you Selected Plants!

I have ordered from Selected Plants for three years now, and have always been very happy with the plants, the shipping, the service, and the price!

I had an excellent experience with Selected Plants too the gentleman who answered the phone when I called with my order was a delight to talk to and if he was busy at the moment I would have never know it. He took the time to answer all my questions and tell me about the various types of tomatoes I asked about so that I could make choices I was happy with.

I have tried in the past to start my own seedlings and had varying successes so the option to order plants from someone who has a greenhouse and lights etc is wonderful.

I love growing my own tomatoes and can understand that having this joy suddenly side-tracked by problems and situations beyond my control would upset me tremendously.

I received plants from selected plants--They were in excellent condition and packaged best I`ve ever seen.The gentleman(?) I talked to was very helpful, the plants are very healthy and have many blooms and little toms. I will buy from them next year and highly recommend Selected plants to all who order plants next year.
GOD BLESS Bill

Yes! I would recommend Selected Plants in a heartbeat.

Darrell's plants are wonderful, he is professional and careful, funny, very patient, considerate and a very cool guy. He really cares about his customers and his plants and is kind to everyone. One class act.

I can only agree with everything that the previous posters have said here. Darrel (he sometimes posts on this site as 'Fusion') at Selectedplants.com is great to deal with. His prices are very good for what he offers. He generally has an EXCELLENT selection of popular heirloom tomatoes. He simply does the BEST JOB IN THE BUSINESS, of shipping his tomato plants.

Very highly recommended.
