 >     HYDE PARK HEIRLOOM TOMATO SALE
 >     A few neighbors have asked if we will have tomato plants for sale
 >     this year, and the answer is YES! 
 >     Hyde Park Garden Club Annual Heirloom Tomato Sale is back!  As
 >     usual, all proceeds from the sale will go directly to the Hyde
 >     Park Neighborhood Association.  
 >     
 >     THE SALE WILL BE ON SATURDAY, MARCH 28TH 
 >     The soil and nighttime temperatures are still too cold, so the
 >     plants are best kept in their greenhouse for another month or so,
 >     until the March 28th sale. 
 >     
 >     VARIETIES 
 >     We will post another message here before the sale to list the
 >     names of the available tomato varieties. The heirloom tomatoes are
 >     the stars of the sale, but there will also be other kinds of
 >     vegetable plants as well. 
 >     
 >     HOW WE GROW AND PRICE OUR PLANTS 
 >     The tomato seedlings are raised using premium organic potting soil
 >     with our special mix of organic nutrients and, as much as
 >     possible, we also use seeds from organic sources. Plants are sold
 >     in one-quart containers. Price per plant will be $4 this year.
 >     Other kinds of veggies, also grown in the same organic manner,
 >     will come in various container sizes and priced accordingly,
 >     depending on the type of plant. 
 >     Last year the HPGC sale was cancelled due to the drought and the
 >     amount of water it takes to raise a large number of seedlings. We
 >     decided, instead, to purchase just the few plants we needed for
 >     our garden at local nurseries. However, we discovered that the
 >     selection and quality of plants left a lot to be desired. Had we
 >     made it to any of the annual Heirloom Tomato sales, we probably
 >     would have had better luck. But this year we decided not to take
 >     the chance. We are once again growing our own and, fortunately,
 >     using more aggressive water-conserving methods to raise the
 >     seedlings this year. 
 >     
 >     Thanks everyone and please keep us in mind for your organic garden
 >     veggie needs. Again, our sale is held as a benefit to the
 >     neighborhood.

 >         Rudy, we are simple home gardeners. Sorry if my original post
 >         made it sound more grandiose!  NO, we do not have our own
 >         web-site. Just Nextdoor.

 >         Carole, yes-yes-yes! We can always use coffee grounds and tea
 >         leaves for our sheet composting!  And we love stopping by
 >         Roy's Garage on occasion so this just gives us another good
 >         reason to come over. See you soon!

 >         Alex - got your message and left you a reply at your cell
 >         phone #. You were one of the people who asked about our sale,
 >         and yes, the day you called, we were out in the garden
 >         up-potting tomato seedlings. Looks like we've got a very good
 >         batch of plants this year!
