Attention Jersey Locals: Tomato Seedlings Free to Good Home--Act Fast!

[dr_pretentious]

I'm doing some container gardening this year and just got my tomato seedlings transplanted. In order to get the variety I wanted, I had to buy more seedlings than I have container space to raise to maturity. I have spare Rutgers hybrids, Juliet grape tomatoes, Sweet 100 cherry tomatoes, and, best of all, two red Brandywines (or, as sporos can't help calling them, because he's as big a Tolkien geek as I am, Baranduins).

They're sitting on my front porch steps for ease of pick-up. I bought them before going to Rochester, so the poor dears are getting root-bound and disgruntled. They need to be transplanted within the next few days, if they're going to have illustrious fruiting careers.

Any takers? If the first person who speaks up for them can put the lot of them to use, that's who they're going to. If, like me, you guys have limited space and can't take them all, feel free to work it out amongst yourselves in the comment thread. My only preference is to avoid killing perfectly serviceable plants.

EDIT:
All claimed now.

Brandywines? You have Brandywines looking for a good home? And Juliet grape? ::sigh::

Gods, I haven't had home-grown tomatoes in years. But I need to shut up now, because I don't have time to weed and transplant between now and FSG. Plus, I don't have full sun anywhere.

::sigh::

I'm going to go fantasize about tomatoes now.

If the soil recipe I got from sabrinamari works as well for me as it did for her last time she used it, I may have more tomatoes than I know what to do with, before the summer's out. That'll be some time from now, since the plants aren't even a foot high at the moment, but your catsitting aid will not be forgotten.

I don't have much space, but I could give maybe 2 plants a good home.

Since you're the person who introduced me to Brandywines back when I thought I didn't like tomatoes, I have a guess about which two plants you'd like.

[jeneralist.livejournal.com]

Well -- which ones the local raccoons would like, certainly.

Actually, I'd like at least one of the cherry/grape plants, if they're not spoken for.

Cool. The Sweet 100s are handling being rootbound better than the Juliets are, so I'll set aside a Sweet 100 and a Brandywine for you, on the theory that you may not be able to come get them right away. skyefyr is taking on the rest.

If there's anything left when I drop food off to you guys, I'll grab them. I'm really late putting my garden in this year. (But it's still a step up from last year when I didn't get it in at all, so....)

Done! I'm glad to know they have somewhere to go. Thank you, and thank you.
