Plant give-a-way

These tomato plants can hardly wait for a new home!
These seedlings will go crazy the moment they get planted.  There are over 200 plants in the top shelves!
These are heirloom Bush Acorn Squash.  They will be ready to plant in about a week.
They might not seem like much, but when they grow up, they will produce hundreds of pounds of pepper, tomatoes, zucchini , and winter squash.  Since they are destined for one of the local food pantries, they are all "determenant' plants...meaning they reach a certain size and then stop growing.  Also, every variety we have grown for this first give-a-way, can be grown in a container, such as an old bucket with a few holes in it.  Just remember to put something like an old egg carton on the bottom to give it proper drainage.
