I have had good luck with Gurneys. They ship at the time of year that is
good for your location.

It's expensive to ship plants, plus it stresses them. And you can't
ship when it's too cold or too warm Or over a weekend. I generally
mail order fruit and other plants when they're bareroot. For my area,
the best time to plant bareroot plants is the first week of April.

Vegiie plants tend to be brittle, which makes shipping even more
difficult. Starting from seed is easy and allows control over the
process, which is why so many gardeners go that route. Generally
annuals (which encompasses most vegies) are bought locally or started
from seeds, while perennials are more suitable for shipping.

I think you need to do some serious reading before you start ordering
or planting.

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.
