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?


Trees and berry plants (and some other things) are shipped when they
are dormant so getting dry or too hot or too cold is not a problem.
Most vegetables are tender annuals and cannot take very hot or very
cold weather. Shipping them more than about a 1 day trip is a real
question mark. Besides shipping would cost more than the plants. A
package of vegetable seeds cost from $1 to maybe $3 and has 30 to more
than 1000 seeds in it. I can also buy locally a 4 pack of vegetable
plants for less than $2.

If you do not want to start from seeds yourself, go to a local nursery
and but plants there. Most nurseries carry plants that do well in
their location and they have knowledgeable people there.

If you are determined to buy something through the Internet, try
Burpee. See if they will ship something to you now.
