Tomatoes

Growjoy has the best tomato plants of anyone! I’ve purchased plants from lots of mail order nurseries as well as local nurseries, and Growjoy’s plants are the healthiest and most productive and pest and disease free. I always place orders in January and they always arrive in perfect condition packed in plastic containers and wrapping. You will not be disappointed.

From torrey | March 24, 2016


Better Boy Tomato Plants

Between all the rain we have received here in Indiana this year AND a new puppy I wasn't sure I could find any tomato plants this late in the year. I exhausted all my usual sources, and found your company on the net with plants still available. I was a little skeptical, but decided to give you guys a try. My plants arrived promptly, were in great shape, and bigger than I was expecting. I can't do anything about the weather but the puppy has some new boundaries and I'm optimistic that I will have tomatoes after all this year. Thank you!!!

From Patty | July 23, 2015


Very satisfied.

The Better Boy Tomato arrived looking very well and produced its first tomato only a week after arriving. Will definitely be getting any future plants from here.

From David | July 16, 2015

Better Boy Tomato Plant

Doing great!

From Kathryn | April 22, 2015


very happy

The Better Boy Tomato Plant appeared to be crushed when it arrived but I watered it and it was back to normal in a couple of days. It is now growing fast and looking very good.

From Richard | April 09, 2015


Better Boy Tomato Plant

This particular plant arrived looking a little stressed, and I immediately replanted, watered and put it in my indoor grow box. It is growing, so I think it will be OK. I'm pleased you have plants in stock in the fall for indoor gardeners such as myself. The packaging was very good, so I don't think the condition was anything other than the plant having to go through the shipping process.

From Maria | October 09, 2014


Fall Tomatoes-Better Boy

I live in deep south. I received four live tomato plants in perfect condition. Green and growing!

From Tim | August 08, 2014


Best Tomato Plants

I just moved here and am starting a garden. I was unable to find the Better Boy plant which I prefer. Either they didn't carry them or was sold out. To my surprise GrowJoy had some. The packaged arrived very rapidly. Was packaged so that the plants were very protected. To my surprise they just were not sticks like I have gotten before. They were very dehydrated, but after a good soaking they livened up. Now my plant are looking very good and are about 10 in tall. I would highly recommend this company to anybody.

From laquita | August 02, 2013


Better Boy

I'm working on a second season of plants here in NC now that, hopefully, our monsoon season is drawing to a close. We are replacing a lot of our tomatoes due to severe blight. These plants are great. I will most likely stop starting from seed next year. Very reasonably price and in very healthy condition on arrival. Even when shipping several states away. Plants adapt within a day and are growing like crazy. Best plants from any place I have ordered live plants from. And I've been ordering for several years. GrowJoy  is only place I will order from now!

From Kristy | July 15, 2013
