Seedlings purchased and picked up in person, $3 each (discounts for larger quantities). Pay here, by PayPal directly to dale@gianttomatoseeds.com, by check to Delectation of Tomatoes, or by cash. ** PLEASE NOTE ** Delectation of Tomatoes is not equipped or staffed to ship seedlings. This offer is only for people willing to drive to American Fork, Utah to pick up seedlings in person; delivery option available if you purchase at least 4 full trays, or 72 seedlings or more. There is no guarantee that seedlings listed below or in links are still available. They are selling fast - it is a six-week process to get seedlings to planting size. Seedlings of as many as 500 additional varieties will be available after may 15th. These are extras from this year's massive seed propagation project.
Delectation of Tomatoes is offering over 73 varieties of tomato and 14 varieties of pepper seedlings for gardeners in the Wasatch Front area of Utah.
Variety selection was based upon these criteria: very tasty, productive, attractive, extra early, and/or dwarf varieties suitable for gardeners with small growing areas. All of these varieties have performed well in the Wasatch Front area. These are listed in a blog post:

The full list of 622 tomato varieties being grown for seed as well as limited sharing is posted at:

Aside from the 73 varieties, for the majority of the rest, there will be one or two seedlings available. As I'm focusing primarily on seed production, these extra seedlings may hold some real interest for the adventurous tomato gardener!
The goal is to have full-sized seedlings ready by mid-May, Many of these seedlings, the extra early varieties, are ready to go in the garden now. But recall that we had a hard freeze (26° locally) on May 18th in 2017. That rare event is unlikely to happen this year, but you just never know with these things.
It's not too late to special order seedlings for 2018!! I would need to plant from seed, of course; but seedlings can still be ready by early June. Please drop me an email (dale@gianttomatoseeds.com) if you have some favorites that you just gotta try this year!
All seedlings are raised using only OMRI listed products (i.e. organic) with all the good stuff (kelp meal, full array of trace minerals, bat guano, perlite, etc.), are thoroughly hardened off, and are in 3-1/2" pots.
Prices:
$3.00 - individual seedlings if you purchase 1-17
$2.50 - per seedling if you purchase a full tray (18 seedlings) or more
$30.00 - per tray if you purchase at least four full trays (72 seedlings)
