Please order your plants through this site and let me know if you have questions or suggestions....
There are lots of descriptions to be added and I recommend you google for details about the ones that aren't finished.  This is a work in progress...

The Farmer's Market will also offer my plants through the curbside service through their site. Use that one if you'd prefer to pick up at the market on Saturday. My plants and Salad Bowls will be available starting on May 2nd through Boulder Farmer's Market. https://bcfm.org/
Pick up for the Farmer's Market orders will be in Longmont at the Fairgrounds where the usual Longmont Farmer's Market is held. Our farm is 7 minutes away from the  Fairgrounds, driving West on Nelson Rd. to 65th Street.

You may see tomato plants available at local hardware stores and nurseries in April. If they don't look like these, don't buy them! It's WAY too early to get tomato plants here in Boulder County!
WeeBee Farms tomato seedlings on April 14th
Ask any gardener who has grown tomatoes successfully for many years and they will tell you the same thing. We plant them outside May 20- May 30th. If you buy them now and keep them indoors, they will get tall and skinny, and won't be acclimated to being outside at planting time. I see too many tomato plants being ruined from being purchased too early and can't stand the thought of the wasted resources used to produce them- the propane for the greenhouses to grow them, the peat moss in the soil mix, the plastic pot, etc etc.

The exception is if you have "Wall-O-Waters" or "Hot Caps" and know how to use them. Our experience is that you don't get tomatoes from your plants much earlier using these and they are a lot of work to manage successfully.
