Sometimes what happens - and I’ve seen it myself - people are not completely HONEST and want a 6 pack with a ‘variety’ of plant types in it, so they scavenge what they want for tomatoes, then put it all in ONE 6-pack and take it to the check out.
So, there may have been some ‘re-arranging of the merchandise’ at your Menard’s. ;)
I think you can get stared plants in the ‘Chef’s Choice’ series through mail order but I’ve never seen them started and for sale at any garden center/retail outlet - as I’ve looked for them, too. ;)
Well, I can go buy seed too. My “Best Boys” were started from seed. Livingston @ Rural King, IIRC.
Do you know if plants from seeds taken from Chef’s Choice Orange tomatoes reproduce “true”?
If I scavenged as you describe, I probably wouldn’t remember which plants were which!
