Deadline for special requests of seedlings ended on the first day of Spring, March 20th, 2026
The full list of tomato varieties that I planted for seedlings production and seed saving is published here:
DT List of Tomato Varieties planted in 2026
I still have over 3,000 seedlings that I need to pot up for hardening off, delivery and pick-up. As soon as I can, I will publish a catalog of tomato varieties that might be available at any given location. This list will be about half as long as that linked above.
Here is a link to a mini-catalog of varieties that are destined for a particular project that involved pre-ordering before the deadline noted above.
DT Partial Catalog of Tomato Varieties Available as seedlings in 2026
Please note that unless you placed your order for seedlings before March 20th, I can make no assurance as to which varieties of seedlings might be available at any given drop-off/pick-up location. Nor am I in a position to request that people at the various host sites look through all the seedlings they have on hand, and then set aside those you might be interested in on reserve.
In early March, I published a catalog of suggested varieties for pre-ordering. That is published here:
DT Shared Files
The relevant file is titled, "Tomato seedlings pre-catalog, suggested for 2026". Only about 1/4 of those varieties were requested by other growers, so the other 75% were not planted this year. A final catalog will be published as soon as I can get all seedlings potted up and inventoried.
Drop-off locations and times are published below according to county, with dates and times being tentative; i.e. subject to change, depending upon a variety of factors. But I will try to fix firm dates and times as the travel time draws closer.
Utah County
