Spring Tomato and Pepper Plant Sale
January 8 - March 1
Washington County Horticulture Committee Tomato & Pepper Plant Sale
Calling all gardening enthusiasts! It’s that time of year again, and we wanted you all to be the first to know that the Annual Tomato and Pepper Plant Sale is officially here, and we are ready to take orders. The varieties featured have all been selected by Washington County Horticulture Committee Members and are suitable for our area.
This year, the lineup features 13 tomato varieties, including a few new options. In addition to some new tomato varieties, we will offer cucumbers as part of the sale! A brief description of each tomato variety is included on the back of the flyer; we have compiled some basic information to help you make the best decision! Also included in the selection will be bell peppers, banana peppers, poblano peppers, jalapenos, eggplant, squash, zucchini, and herbs! New for 2024, we are excited to offer 4-pound bags of Calcium Nitrate for pre-sale! This product is a great quick release fertilizer for use in the garden and also helps prevent blossom end rot.
If the great selection and confidence in the proper varieties for our area is not enough, we are also offering these plants at $2.50 per pack! Plus, all proceeds from this sale benefit the youth of Washington County through the annual AgriLife Extension – Horticulture Committee Scholarship Program. Each year the Horticulture Committee works to identify graduating seniors pursuing a degree in agriculture who are deserving of a scholarship and will award these scholarships in May at the school assemblies.
