What’s Happening at Hattie’s Garden

We are going to have an abundance of mouth-watering tomatoes very soon. Our grafted tomato varieties growing nicely in the hoop-house include Pineapple Bicolor (large, delicious, yellow-orange tomato — my absolute favorite), Copia (a hybrid take on the Pineapple Bicolor with somewhat smaller tomatoes that we can’t wait to try), Cherokee Purple (who doesn’t love a delicious Cherokee Purple), Brandywine (the original pink Brandywine), and the great tasting red hybrid, Big Beef for those of you who just want a really good red tomato — especially those of you looking for that “Jersey” tomato!

The cherry tomatoes are also coming along nicely. We expect to be offering our diminutive Jasper Cherry, our delicious SunPeach Cherry and the famous Black Cherry very soon.

Our specialty cut flowers are simply gorgeous. Each of our flower cuttings, which will last you at least a full week, are pretty enough to stand alone in a vase. Choose a freshly prepared bouquet, or have a custom bouquet made for you on the spot, which comes complete with a packet of flower food.
