| 2025 Updates: Peppers are going fast! Weather update - we're still looking at a chance of frost Sat night - 24th. 25th still very cool. Tomatoes don't really like nights in the 40's! I'd wait until at least Monday - Memorial Day to plant or even a day or two later if you can wait. :). Definitely one of our cooler springs we've had in years! Opening Date will be Wednesday, May 14. Plants needed just a little more time to grow since the Spring was so cool. See you then! Here’s the updated list of varieties available for 2025. Are you ready for another year of gardening? With grocery prices increasing all the time, gardening has become even more important – to save money and have healthy food. Plus the benefit of heirlooms chosen for excellent flavor! And you can save seeds from heirlooms for food security. For those of you new to us, we have LOTS of tomato varieties. When you come, allow for time to browse and read the interesting info signs by each variety. We will be there to help you choose varieties for your flavor palate or cooking needs. Our specialty is Italian and Paste/Heart varieties for making sauces and salsa and these are the best of the best for flavor and production. I keep trying to reduce the number of varieties and amounts every year but we still have over 275 varieties available of tomatoes this year so there will be plenty to choose from. We’ve added at least one new variety for this year to each category/color. Bi-colors have several really nice new ones as they are really popular. We have added some special new categories and varieties: There is now a nice selection of Ruffled Tomatoes – gorgeous as they are and especially pretty when cut into slices. Also, there will be a couple of trays of tomatoes for making juice, stuffing and special ones for making fried green tomatoes. The Italian section has 3 varieties added just for drying/roasting. And last but not least, for all you GreenStalk growers, we have added some special and some pretty rare Mini Dwarf tomato and very compact growing pepper plants. For those of you growing in containers or pots we have an excellent selection of Dwarf tomato plants that usually grow about 4' tall and were especially created to grow in containers! Plus we have a nice selection of hanging basket varieties that you can grow in any hanging basket for cherry tomatoes right by your door for snacking. We are happy to say that WE HAVE PEPPERS THIS YEAR! I have sown tons of interesting varieties so it should be fun for you to choose some familiar ones and some new ones. The list will be updated soon on the pepper page. Lots of sweets and plenty of hots. We do have a nice selection of onion plants again this year along with many other vegetables and herbs as usual, including tomatillos and ground cherries. And don't forget our incredible selections of Basils - over a dozen varieties. We have several varieties of Italian Basil that I get the seed direct from Italy with fantastic aroma and flavor. If you want to reserve your tomato varieties, please email us with your want list. Google has made some updates that have made our Wishlist ordering not work correctly. You can add to the Wishlist to keep track of what you want but you will need to copy paste it to an email order. Please send your orders via email to plantswithstories@gmail.com. Please add your name (and user name if desired), phone number and what pick up date you are requesting. (You can change that date if needed via email or phone.) Most of the varieties will only have 6-12 seedlings started so get your orders in soon to reserve. The most popular varieties will have at least 18 seedlings. Prices remain mostly similar to last year. Tomato plants and most peppers are $5 each or 3 for $12.00. 6-packs of veggies and herbs are now $3 and peat pots will be $1.50. Hours: 9-6 on Tuesday through Saturday. We will be closed for normal assisted sales on Sunday and Monday. If those are the only days that work for you, you can make an appointment and we’ll be there for you – and the same goes for after 6pm. Just make an appointment or browse and drop payment in the drop box. Also, on Sundays and Mondays, you can still drop by for self serve shopping. We just won’t be down there all day to help. Don’t forget to check out our Facebook Page – Plants with Stories for updates and any new happenings – and please share. We depend on word of mouth from you. Thank you for spreading the word about us. Italics in the list are new varieties for this year. MF means multiflora. Many of these are new varieties that have not yet been added to our website but if you Google them you should find a description for most of them. Email any questions to plantswithstories@gmail.com. Remember to check back for changes to the listing depending on germination and sales. I’m so looking forward to seeing you all again. I always say I have the VERY BEST customers! We are seriously looking for someone to pass the baton to in taking over this stewardship to create their own business as it is getting to be a bit much for 2 almost 70 year olds. Please let us know if you or someone you know might be seriously interested. We are more than willing to work with them for a couple of years to mentor them. 2025 Tomato Varieties Colors Row 1 Amish Gold Slicer WI 55 Gold Brandywine, Yellow Crnkovic Yugoslavian Gold Dr Wyche's Harless Creek Gold Summer Cider Jaune Flaume not available Woodle Orange Jim Dandy Kelloggs Breakfast not available Mennonite Orange Sweet Ozark Orange Persimmon, Russian Evergreen Glacial Zebra Green Zebra Lucinda Aunt Ruby's German Green Cherokee Green Frog Princess Malachite Box Moldovan Green Grubb's Mystery Great White White Beauty White Queen very low BiColor/Stripes Ananas Noire sold out Berkeley Tie Dye Summer of Love unavailable Blushing Bride Copper River Dagma's Perfection Rainbow Jazz Heart Mom's Big Rainbow Striped German Virginia Sweets Serendipity Striped Thoburn's Terra Cotta Girl Girl's Weird Thing Berkeley Tie Dye, Pink sold out Chocolate Stripes Dragon's Eye Solar Flare Vintage Wine Stuffing/Fried/Juice Canadian Stuffing sold out Get Stuffed Giraffe Green Thumb Genoa -
