If your at-home garden is lacking in the produce selection, getting a tomato plant is an easy way to exercise your green thumb. Tomatoes are one of the summer's most versatile produce offerings, meaning now is the perfect time to start growing them. With countless varieties and a range of different flavour profiles — including but not limited to black cherry, super sauce, and pineapple — these fruits effortlessly complement all kinds of dishes or can be easily enjoyed on their own.
With more people at home avoiding grocery stores, "victory gardens" are making a comeback. These food gardens made their first appearance during World War I when those in the community wanted to ease stress on the public food system, and now the same notion is back, but this time with a COVID-19-inspired lens. Since people are taking an interest in at-home gardening due to the pandemic, plant delivery services are seeing a higher-than-usual demand. While some retailers like Bonnie Plants, Tasteful Garden, and Gardener's Supply Company are running low on their tomato plant selection, it's worth checking those sites in the coming weeks to see if they've restocked. In addition, Lowe's has free delivery and in-store pickup, but Home Depot's tomato plants are only available in stores. Be sure to check online to see if your nearest store has them in stock!
If you're looking to incorporate tomatoes into your garden, these plants are a great and easy way to do so. Whether you have a large outdoor yard or a small patch of sunshine in your home, growing tomatoes is doable for even the most inexperienced green thumb. Shop our selection ahead, and enjoy summer's finest fruit now!
