Default help needed. Need a good catalog house that sells strawberry , other fruits and vegetables over the mail.

Thanks a lot.

you are saying Generally people start vegies from seed or buy plants
locally
Why it can not be done from catalog same way as berrys? and why it has
to be seeds not already existing small plants?

is a different matter, and different catalogs sepcialize in different
things. For example, there are good berry houses, such as Nourse
Farms. Raintree Nursery is good for fruit trees. Expecting to buy
everything from one dealer is unrealistic.

Your best bet is to talk to your local Cooperative Extension office
and find out what grows well in your microclimate. Then find out what
would interest you and fit in with your time and other constraints.
Start small so you have time to learn. Gardeners aren't made
overnight.

Regarrds, Dianna
