Fifty cents each for 4" pots.

The problem? The labels said "tomato". And that's all. lol

I passed for fear that they'd do phenomenally well and I'd want to plant that variety again. The picture was of a red tomato. That narrows it down, huh? :lol:

Oh, the red ones!! They are really good, I hear! At that price I am not sure I could have passed them up!

Hmm...mystery tomatoes. For that price though, I'd surely pick up a few!

I love those discounted racks at Lowes. There are some great deals and usually a tag is missing or it needs a little tlc.

If it does great save some seeds and call it a catchy name. :)

...OR... you could have a contest here, and we could name it for you!
And the winner could have some seeds! :p

I have talked myself into going back today and picking some up since I have two of my heirloom plants that are clearly going to be a bust.

I'll keep you all informed. :D

If it makes a medium sized red tomato that's not a roma type, it's probably "Early Girl" or "Celebrity", maybe "Better Boy". Those are the most typical varieties stores like that carry.

In the past those Were my favorite kind. I call them suprize tomatoes, cause you dont know what you have till they set fruit.
