When we were having a colder-than-normal spring a couple of years ago, Alainia contacted me and asked for permission to ship later. I was very glad she did, because the plants would not have survived... We kept in touch, and once the forecast looked clear, she shipped. And I love the variety and personal comments about the plants. I know what I'm getting when I get my plants. |

My wife and I have been experimenting and searching for the "best" tomatoes in the world. Each year we read through Alainas extensive list of types and descriptions and order 10 - 15 different plants to try... plus our 10 favorites (so far). The plants have always arrived quickly and in great condition. It has been a blast deciding which tomatoes that we all like the best. I even contacted Alaina about a hybrid type of tomato that my dad used to grow in St Louis MO that we all loved growing up. Alaina and her husband jumped right on it, they did the research and found a close relative of that tomato and it was just like I remembered... Delicious. No more going to the store and/or nursery and just taking whatever plants they have available for us. We are never going anywhere else for tomato plants. I would encourage anyone out there to give Tomato Baby a try. You wont be disappointed. |

Shipping was on time as scheduled, and my plants arrived in very good condition. Extensive instructions for adapting plants from travel mode to grow mode were very helpful. Will order again next year. |

I did not have any success germinating my "Pepperfish" Pepper seeds this spring. Alainia came to my rescue. I can enjoy my peppers again this summer. Thanks Alainia. You will have my business again and again. Sincerely, Bruce |
Positive | turkeylurky (1 review) | On May 14, 2012, turkeylurky Homecroft, IN wrote: I have ordered from Alainia (Tomato Girl) for at least 7 years...probably longer. Her selection of heirloom tomato varieties is superb. When I wanted to buy heirlooms, I checked out ebay and found Alainia who has since opened her own estore. I ordered early in April and received my plants last Friday--I specified my planting dates and Alainia accommodates by offering a choice of shipping time frames. The plants are always well packaged and extremely healthy...this year was no different. I ordered about 30 tomato plants, at least 12 pepper plants, and a half dozen eggplants. Alainia packed in 8 "samples" of tomato, pepper, and eggplant plants (FREE), for me |

I AM SO BUMMED that they seem to have closed. When you go to their website, it takes you to page that says "TBC has closed its doors. Thank you for your support the past few years. ". |

I was a first time vegetable gardener and I had HUGE success last year with the 18 heirloom varieties I planted.(and some free samples too!) All thanks to the incredibly beautiful and healthy plants that I received and to all the great growing advice. Awesome eggplant and peppers too!! My babies are in the ground and looking healthier than ever. I would never purchase my plants from another source. Customer service is outstanding and the selection is amazing! |
Positive | Melina710 (1 review) | On May 18, 2010, Melina710 Revere, MA wrote: I have been absolutely amazed by the service and products provided by this company. I am quick to criticize and hard to please, but I was wonderfully surprised with the Tomato Baby Company! I could not believe the beauty and value of the plants that I received. Not only did I receive remarkable follow up but was given some great advise to help with some of my horrible mishandling of my plants. Aside from the unbelievable customer service that went far beyond my expectations, the selection was quite extensive. The Tomato Baby Company has won my loyalty for my future purchases! This company exhibits a quality that is not easy to find. |

They are very healthy plants even after being shipped to her home, then brought to my house. I enjoyed my daughters tomatoes so much last year that I decided to try growing my own. I look forward to the harvest. |

Positive | mewart (1 review) | On May 8, 2010, mewart Cordova, TN wrote: This my second year of ordering from Alainia with Tomato Girl and I love this company. She has a huge selection of tomatoes and other plants such as peppers, cabbage, and more. My plants arrive quick and healthy with plenty of detailed instructions on getting started, and extras in case some have trouble in shipping. Its like opening a christmas present not knowing the entire contents of the box. Last year provided us an abundance of tomatoes and peppers, so I'm excited to get growing this year. |
Positive | katrinagilbert (1 review) | On Apr 28, 2010, katrinagilbert Oneonta, AL wrote: Excellent customer service. Beautiful! Plants arrived within three days of placing the order. Arrived in excellent condition. Very large, very green, very full with no signs of stress. Alainia cheerfully selected plants specifically for me based on my likes and dislikes and answered my many questions promptly. I'll definitely be a repeat customer. |
Positive | chunkystarol (1 review) | On Apr 26, 2010, chunkystarol Monett, MO wrote: Wow! My plants were huge when they arrived! The plants were all healthy, and carefully packaged, and there were even free plants included. Last year I was sent a "rate your plants" email, and one of my favorites was being eliminated. I emailed the company and they started seeds of the "discontinued plant" just for me! They did it again this year. All of my gardening questions are always answered. And it's more than just tomatoes, They have the hottest jalapenos I've ever had, and the hard to find green chiles that I am now hooked on. |
Positive | queenmary (1 review) | On Apr 24, 2010, queenmary Hampstead, MD wrote: Tomato Baby Company is - without a doubt - the friendliest and most customer-oriented gardening business I have ever used. In the 30 years I have been gardening I have tried just about every catalog/mail order place on the planet. Tomato Girl and her Tomato Baby Company ARE THE BEST. No grower has more variety and the prices beat all the competition hands down. My plants were super healthy and arrived exactly as ordered and ON TIME. Tomato Girl always answered my emails promptly, provided detailed instructions for everything from opening the box to planting, and included a ton of FREE plants with the order. I could grow my own plants but buying from Tomato Girl is so much fun and SO easy. You can really trust this company. I won't buy anywhere else. Mary B. |

She will not ship plants until the weather is right-- and she always adds in extras. My plants arrived last year, and not a single one died until Thanksgiving! She is the best tomato supplier that I have come across. Thanks Alainia! Mary |
Positive | dokami (1 review) | On Apr 19, 2010, dokami Dayton, OH wrote: I have been a customer now for 4 years. Alania is delightful to work with, the plants she grows are outstanding in every respect! Her heirloom tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and herbs have never failed me. They come packaged nicely with never a break to be seen. Incredible for large, live plants! Every box has extras of either something you ordered or a new variety which makes it like Christmas to open! I will continue buying my tomatoes, which, I will add, taste like tomatoes used to taste when I was a kid! I try something new every year and her adventuresome spirit offers and deletes new and old according to what she and her customers send feedback about. It just doesn't get better than that! Thanks Alania! Dokami |
Positive | Vyccid (1 review) | On Mar 5, 2010, Vyccid Gainesville, VA wrote: In summary, like your favorite neighborhood gardener, but on the internet. Excellent, detailed guidance; to removing from shipping container, prepare for planting, etc, etc. Amazing customer service, shipping on time, but not over weekends, and accepted a last minute adjustment to accommodate my local weather. Everything was clearly (and correctly) labeled, and she even threw in an extra item. Very responsive email, and the prices are fantastic. 2009 was my first year, I wish I could get more of veggies from here. |

If there's another vendor on the internet who can offer such an incredible selection of live heirloom tomatoes, as well as a decent selection of peppers and eggplants, at EXTREMELY modest prices and shipping charges, I haven't found it and believe me I've looked for years. |
Positive | scully931 (9 reviews) | On May 10, 2008, scully931 Pittsburgh, PA wrote: I just received my tomato and pepper plants today and all is well! I was so happy to find someone who sold actual tomato plants instead of seeds as I never have much luck with the latter. I got my precious purple cherokee which I can't find in stores. She even sent some extra plants. Communication was great. I wouldn't hesitate to order again! |

I bought heirloom tomato plants from Alainia last summer, they were awesome healthy plants!

The most reasonable prices that I have found, and she sent a few extra plants. Very positive experience and a helpful company! |
