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 Bruce | May 18, 2016
Received Better Boy Tomato plants today...Very Healthy large plants.... 3rd year customer Thank you
From torrey | March 24, 2016
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
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
Excellent plant and packaging, plant took to my garden immediately. Very pleased with my order.
From Gloria | June 08, 2015
Loved the packaging and the size of the plant.
From Eugene | May 28, 2015
Doing great!
From Kathryn | April 22, 2015
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
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
I live in deep south. I received four live tomato plants in perfect condition. Green and growing!
From Tim | August 08, 2014
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 anonymous | July 20, 2014
Plant arrived in nice packaging
From Olga | June 16, 2014

From anonymous | May 11, 2014
My Better Boy Tomato plant arrived well packaged, healthy and still moist. Planted it last week and it is putting out new growth! Yay!
From Dee | April 06, 2014
looks great! watered and will plant today. thanks!
From laquita | August 02, 2013
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
I love your website and Better Boy Tomato plants!
From anonymous | May 20, 2013
