Free Tomato Seedlings

5 years ago
last modified: 5 years ago

Hi folks,

I had some fits and starts in the seed-starting process this year and I planted quite a few back-up seeds. Then, a bunch of the original seeds started emerging.

As a result, I have more small tomato seedlings than I have room for under my lights.

Free to good homes.

In large (3.5x3.5x5”deep) – probably good enough until planting out:

1 Garden Gem (good for container)

1 Dester

1 Cherokee Purple

1 Black Krim

1 Raspberry lyanna (good for container)

1 Cirnkovic

In tiny (1.5"roundx2.25”deep) cells:

3 Crnkovic

2 Beefsteak

2 Big Rainbow

1 Black Krim

1 Kellogg’s Breakfast

1 Cherokee Purple

4 Garden Gem (good for container)

2 Thessaloniki

2 Dester

2 Amish Paste (one is bending over, but I think it just needs more legroom.

The plants in the big pots are smaller, on average. The plants in small cells need a bigger pot very soon.

Just post here what you want. I can put them on the porch. My address is 4441 Tanger Trl, Broomfield.

    Thanks for your generous offer, Jerry. I just planted mine today so I don’t know what I may need for tomatoes. Give me a few days to see what sprouts or not. I understand the “no room under the lights” message. It happens almost every year!

    That's very generous, Jerry. Thank you! I would like the larger Cirnkovic, a Beefsteak, a Kellog's Breakfast and a Thessaloniki. I can pick up today or tomorrow, what ever works!

    I was just about to sow a few red tomatoes today. You've saved me the effort!

    Big Rainbow is probably my favorite tomato of all time. I grew them for 2 years then kind of lost interest. There is a farmer in Grand Junction area that grows them and I always buy them from him at the farmer's market when I'm there. I got my seedling plants from Irish Home Farm. Keep me posted on how you like them.

    Thank you for the seedlings! I'm excited to see this year's crop.

  • 5 years ago

    Yes. Thank you Jerry!

  • 5 years ago

    If still available, I'd *LOVE* the Cherokee Purple, Black Krim, and one Amish Paste! I can pick up this coming Friday if that's acceptable (4/16), morning or midmorning. Thank you, Jerry!!

  • 5 years ago

    Hi Whitney,


    Yes still here and begging for bigger pots. I also have an extra eggplant if inerested.


    Since Friday will be winter again, I'll keep them in the house by the front door. Just ring the bell and one of us can give them to you. Glad they will go to a good home!

    That would be wonderful! I can reply to let you know approximate time as we get closer. And I'd be super grateful to grab the eggplant as well! Thanks so much!

    Hi Jerry! Well, it's a bit *more* wintry than I even expected (at least as far as snow accumulation!) and I won't be able to pick up today, as my plans to be in Broomfield this morning were nixed. Is it possible to maybe pick up this weekend or midday Monday?

  • 5 years ago

    OK. I am going to put them in a bit bigger pot as they are suffering in the tiny cell.

  • 5 years ago

    Thank you so much for understanding! If it's okay I will just bring a few spare 4" nursery pots to leave with you in exchange since you had to up-pot them.

  • 5 years ago

    My pleasure, Chloe.


    Whitney,


    No need to bring pots. The plants were moved to 2.25" cells and like it. I also have some germinated seeds on paper towels of basil, dill and red zinnias. My transplants took, so these are extras.


    Jerry

  • 5 years ago

    Thanks so much! Okay to pick up around noon?

  • 5 years ago

    OK

  • 5 years ago

    ETA 12:20. Feel free to set things out front if that works, never mind the damp etc
