How do the Tomato Plugs from Hoss compare with MY homegrown Tomato Seedlings? You decide. I got my new Hossinator and Red Snapper Tomato Plugs from Hoss Tools. In this video, I'll unpack the plugs and show you my own tomato plants and make the comparison, so you can decide for yourself.

I’ve up potted my tomatoes, all from Hoss, all into individual cups. They are strong stemmed and are doing great under the grow lights. I’ll say I’m happy with Hoss. I also order heirloom from Baker Creek. My peppers are struggling. Not good germination this year from any company.

My tomatoes aren't quite ready yet, but I usually plant mine out a bit late due to the serious winds in my little microcosm. I'm doing Red Snapper this spring as well along with my usual Amish Paste, Nebraska Wedding, Opalka, and a new canning/cooking tomato called Hungarian Heart. I'm really low on diced tomatoes and sauce in the pantry. I've got a new slicer called Texas Wine and I've grown Italian tree before with fairly good results so I'm doing that one again for spring. I almost always have Sungold. My grandkids love it even if it does crack. I'll do a second round of tomatoes for fall, but I haven't thought about that line up yet. Good luck to everyone with your tomatoes this year! And you are right: Hoss sends out good seeds.

Try cloning your tomatoes in June, or thereabouts. That way, you have brand new plants for your fall garden. That’s what I am going to do this year.

I was really impressed with the quality of the Hoss onion plants this year, so I'm probably swapping from Dixondale to Hoss going forward. It does not surprise me their tomatoes look great also. I did start my Hossinator's, Red Snapper, and Bella Rosa from seeds this year (last year's seeds). No issues with old seed germination. And we always grow SunGold of course! But I have never been disappointed with any product from Hoss!

We are in West texas and have struggled with the box store variety of tomatoes for years. They always seem to split. The only luck we have are with the cherrry style tomatoes. May have to try the 2 varieties of the Hoss tomatoes that you mentioned. Do you do anything specific or have tricks for gettin a good harvest of tomatoes?
