Well here we are…20 years after this ordeal started! I’ve grown close to 1,000 varieties of tomatoes to date and am bringing 103 varieties to the back patio this year for you to enjoy!

My prices will stay the same this year as I know so many things are more expensive nowadays and I want to bring a quality and diverse selection at a fair price. I’m lower in price than most of the local nurseries anymore and definitely have healthier plants and a much broader selection than they do.

Please check out my list which includes all of my varieties as well as my dates for open sales this year. I look forward to seeing all of you this spring!

I totally thought that this Sunday was Mother’s Day….wrong!  I’m always open the Saturday before Mother’s Day as I know it’s a tradition to shop for plants for mom’s on the day before.

I’ll be open from 8 to noon on Saturday,  May 13th with a special of Buy 10 plants, get 2 free!

Also….after Saturday I will have plenty of plants to donate to charity gardens.  These donations are designed to go to school, church, or community gardens where the primary purpose is educating youth or donating produce to the needy.  Please send my email off to any groups like this that need tomato and pepper plants for their gardens.

Friday night was super busy, but the cold weather kept a lot of folks away on Saturday morning….brrr! Fortunately, I think we’re out of the woods for freezes…still chances for frosts, but they are very low. I was finally able to get all the plants sorted out and revised the list with some new varieties and removed some I am out of already.

Plant sales this Friday afternoon, Saturday morning and next Saturday morning. Looking forward to seeing all of you on the back patio!

I have several nice rosemary starts available for sale. These belong in a pot that can be put outside in the summer months and brought in in the winter. These plants will last for years and years and provde great herbs for your chicken and potato dishes!

Plants I have from the Dwarf Hemisphere Project include the following in very short quantity. I only have about 100 of them total.

• Dwarf Wild Fred (DWF)
• Dwarf Brandy Fred (DBF)
• Dwarf Wild Spudleaf (DWS)
• Dwarf Confetti (DC)
• Dwarf Andy’s Fourth (DAF)
• Dwarf Jasmine Yellow (DJY)
• Dwarf CC McGee (DCM)
• Dwarf Zoe’s Sweet (DZS)

I’ve sorted through most all of the plants now that we have some warmer weather and have made some additions and deletions to the original list. Remember that several of these varieties are in fairly short supply and go first come first served to those that come by during my open sale dates.

Plants are looking very healthy now and should be on target to be ready to plant in early May. Remember that if you purchase plants at one of my earlier sale dates, they will be smaller. Keep them outside in the sunshine for a few weeks and they will grow, grow, grow! Only bring them inside if the temps are forecast to be below 40 degrees at night.

Here we grow again….this is….I think my 18th or 19th year of selling plants in my backyard! Every year I think I may just stop doing this madness and spend more time fishing, but I have had so many great memories and met so many amazing people over the years that I think I’ll keep going for the foreseeable future!

This year I have 64 types of tomatoes, 37 varieties of peppers, 10 types of eggplant, and 4 types of basil offered. As always…..some of them are in very small quantities and/or will have trouble growing so I can’t guarantee every variety will be available at this point.

Plant sale dates will be as follows:

April 21 and 28,  (3-7 p.m.) 

April 22, 29, and May 6 (8 a.m. to 1 p.m.)

My address is: 215 East 97th Street, KCMO

All sales are cash only and I kept the price of the plants the same as last year at $3 per plant. Please bring a box or some sort of container to carry your plants home in. I no longer accept pre orders, all plants are available on my open sales dates, first come, first served.

2023 KCTT PLANT LIST

With the crazy weather I know some folks haven’t had time to get their gardens ready to plant.  I’m going to have one more open day for sales this coming Saturday from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.  Just those two hours though as it’s my anniversary and I need to keep my wife happy!  

I still have plenty of Carbon, Sungold, Black Cherry, Aunt Ruby’s and several other types.   Still a few peppers left as well, but out of herbs and eggplant.

Stop by and pick up any plants you might need and visit for a spell!  Thanks!

Due to some other commitments, my first day of sales will now be April 23rd instead of April 16th. Planting shouldn’t be until the first full week of May, so there will still be plenty of time for you to get your plants. Thank you for your patience
