still have tomato seedlings (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp)

It's that time of year again, I've got several varieties that germinated more than I have room for--got started late this year so they are not big but they'll keep going to a hard frost. The little "sweetie" cherry tomato seedlings tend to grow very quickly once they get their roots in the ground or a big pot. Cherokee Purple, Crimson Sprinter (small but prolific), Iron Lady, (blight resistant) and one or two mystery seedlings that literally sprouted between the cracks. Everything but Iron Lady is heirloom, IL is a hybrid that doesn't immediately die with late-season blight. I don't have the same number of all plants so some may run out quicker, not doing 'fair offer' because I'd like to get these off the porch and into good homes but if you see this post, there are still plants available. Remember, tomatoes prefer full sun and need about a foot of root space -- a 5-gallon pot will do, and they must have drainage. Planting with a good scoop of composted manure and biweekly feeding with manure 'tea' will give you more tomatoes.
