Hello Gardeners!
Back when I started out on veggie gardening, the biggest challenge was to get the right seeds, start them well and grow them to transplanting stage. Sounds easy when we say it right?. Most of the gardeners get frustrated and even stop gardening if their seeds don’t germinate and even worse. Taking care of the germinated seeds is almost like taking care of a newborn.
And by the time, the beginner gets the seed to germinate and transplant, his/her enthu is almost gone!
What if there is a “Ready to plant” seedlings available to you. That is exactly the post is all about. Seedlings for you when you want it.
I have now the following ready to plant seedlings for sale.
- Red Cherry Tomato (1 month old, Indeterminate)
- Purple Long Brinjal – (1.5 month old)
The tomato is of indeterminate kind. So it needs staking and it yields for a long time.
A post is not complete without pictures.So, here you go.

Long purple Brinjal seedlings
There you have it folks. These seedlings are for sale. Brinjal seedlings cost Rs 10/plant and cherry costs Rs 20/plant. These are heirloom varieties and that means you can save the seeds from these and use it for next season..
If you are interested in picking up these seedlings, use the contact form on this website and send me a note. Please use the subject “Seedlings”.
NOTE: The seedlings are for local (Bangalore) pickup at my residence only. Since these are live plants, shipping is NOT possible.Sorry folks, if you are from other state and are interested in this. Guess what, all is not lost, you can still order the seeds for these plants from me.
Jump start your growing season!
There is more variety of seedlings to come in future. Watch this space for exotics!

Good to see more seedlings up.
This time I wont be taking seedlings cos we’re off for quite a few days. Will be checking with you by May end.
In case its helpful, these type of Newspaper Pots may help to help in separating out your seedlings for individuals.
Very nice! The seedlings look healthy; congrats.

Hi GG,
This is really good
. I was wondering if you will still have the cherry tomato seedlings around end of April. I am out of town for next two weeks and would love to get a couple of cherry tomato plants for my balcony, but not sure if that will be too late to transplant these. Also, would you have any other seedlings by then? Please let me know
Thanks much.
Hi Sam,
I think there will be some plants left. I will keep couple of them aside for you.
You are welcome!

Hi,
I have a quick question. I bought seedlings of both from you about ten days ago. After planting them in the middle of last week what has happened is that the leaves of the tomato plant have developed white lines. You had mentioned that this might happen and that it indicates a deficiency of something. I have planted these in a mixture of red soil (that came with horse manure) and cocopeat, both purchased from Lalbag. Both plants otherwise seem to be doing well. What should I do for the white lines? Is this when I should be using NPK (?) Please help!
Thanks very much.
probably leafminer damage (http://images.suite101.com/632456_com_leafminerd.jpg)
donot remove the damaged leaf, instead the worm (~1mm) will be on either end of the line; take a pin & remove the worm.
HiI GG,
I need some plants too….
10 plants each, cherry and Egg plant. I can pick it up this saturday. Please let me know.
Do you take cheques? Just kidding
Hi Krinish,
You can drop by this weekend and collect the seedlings. I am not sure if cherry seedlings are there but there are some other variety.

Hi GG,
I have spent almost all my free time in the last 2-3 days reading though your blog since I discovered it – I am completely awed by you collection and enthusiasm! Please let me know if tomato and brinjal seedlings are still available and if I could collect them next weekend? I would like 5 of as many different types of tomato as you have and 3 brinjals plus a LOT of advice from you!
Thanks!

When is a good time to grow cherry tomatoes? Can I sow seeds now?
June-July is good but now is ok too with rains now and then.. are you in bangalore?
Hey,
No, I’m in Bombay. I saw cherry tomatoes in the market and planted some seeds from them. They’ve germinated. Hope they grow! Lovely blog. Thanks.
Hi GG,
We live in Bangalore and my husband and I have a small terrace garden consisting mainly of flowering plants/trees as well as curry leaves, lime and some herbs. It is a very enjoyable hobby for sure!
We mostly had a local mali help but after reading your blog and understanding where to source materials in the city our enthusiasm is renewed! With great help from your posts, we got the materials needed to start the vegetable garden project.
Would you still have cherry tomato seedlings? And can I get Beefsteak tomato seeds from you? Will really appreciate it!
Thanks again for such a great blog. If possible could you add an Index to all posts – its difficult to locate quickly some of your step by step pieces in the current layout.
Thanks!
Meenakshi
Thanks for the suggestion about the index. It is definitely a must as my site is getting bigger and bigger.
Cherry tomatoes and Beefsteak. I have the seeds .. but seedlings are all SOLD OUT.
Sir from where did you buy marmande and beefsteak tomato seeds i have been looking for the seeds for a very long time but couldn’t find anywhere.I would be very thankful to you if you could provide me the contact details of the supplier.
I get my seeds from multiple sources. I got this from France and also from a friend of mine. I am not sure who supplies this in india. If you want some seeeds, I can send it to you and you can pay by bank transfer

Hi mdkhaleel,
Thanks for the comment.
Red soil is not necessary. Manure + cocopeat is enough.
I use manure for pots that are grown organic and NPK/nutrients for my hydroponic setup
Frequencey of application is every week.
I spend a LOT (more than 2 )of time in my garden/blog/emails.
I do have FB account. Search for geekgardener ..
Please feel free to ask away your questions in the forum and it will benefit every one and you will get your questions answered much faster.
Thanks for such a great blog.
I would like as many different types seedlings.
Kindly let me know the availability.

Suresh

how do we know that these are heirloom germinated seeds and not hybrid germinated seedlings
Saurav,
I germinate these seedlings from seeds that I save. I mention ‘heirloom’ only if I know the source of the seeds. If they are germinated out of hybrids, I will mention so.
Also, the plants will come true to type. thats how you can find out if it is hybrid or heirloom.
one can always use dna fingerprinting to findout the purity of the type.
