We're excited to grow tomatoes for the first time since we were little kids. Seeking 1 tomato plant for each of these varieties in NYC/Long Island (also Westchester/nearby NJ area especially near Harriman State Park), as it's too late now to start from seed. Appreciate it if anyone can sell or swap. We have many long-blooming perennials, small Japanese Maple plants (from 15 ft size tree), corms of beautiful purple Blazing Star (Liatris Spicata), Dahlia tubers and Stargazer Lilly bulbs and also some excellent hiking and backpacking gear.

-Bella Rosa Hybrid (high yielding)
-Cedro Hybrid
-Chef's Choice Black
-Balls Beefsteak
-Costoluto Genovese
-Costoluto di Firentino

Also planning to pick up plants for more common varieties, but these are available at our local nurseries (Sungold Cherry, Better Boy, Beefsteak varieties, Early Girl and Cherokee Purple)

Do you need seeds, or just plants? I might have cherry tomato seeds to donate but it might be late to grow from seed?

Thank you Keith for getting back to me. We're ok for now on cherries - we picked up a Sungold Cherry plant from Hick's Nurseries and it's a monster - it's either our fastest growing plant or tied for fastest, and the cutting we took from it grew roots faster than all the other cuttings. I think it will be a monster. What are you growing now?

Main thing we're still looking for is a Poblano Pepper. Do you know of any locally?
