B5 Farms

I discovered B5 Farms at the SFC Farmers Market at Sunset Valley yesterday and am so excited over my new babies that I lovingly purchased from Pamela. Their booth at the FM yesterday was only selling tomato plants no actual fruits but she told me that they sale to local restaurants and that Olivia’s can not get enough of their Black Cherry for their salads — that was enough to sell me on one of those babies. I also purchased a Texas Wild which she described as putting out fruit all summer and even hard to kill in the greenhouse when they want them to stop putting out fruit.
Pamela is very passionate about farming and explained that she did not even like tomatoes until her husband made her sit down and eat one of their family heirloom tomatoes. She tried hard to sell me on one of those but I know my backyard growing conditions and have never had success with large tomatoes so I stick with the Cherries.
Pamela also gave me some great tips such as using hay or oak leaves as mulch and putting some tin foil around the bottom of plant to keep bugs off.
They also set up a booth at the downtown FM and in addition to tomato plants they sale jalapeño, zucchini, nasturtium, oregano and chocolate mint plants all 2.00 each except tomatoes 3.00.
They are also on Facebook if you want to see pics of their gorgeous farm!
