Burpees plants?
Hello folks--
Anyone here get their Burpees plants yet? I ordered some eggplant, tomato and pepper plants way back when and have not gotten them yet--I would think I'd get them pretty soon, or by May 1st at the latest. Jean in SE VA (Zone 7B) -- "If you are going through hell, keep going." Winston Churchill |

Peppers and eggplants will go in when it gets warmer. -- Susan N. There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary and those who do not. |

Most places hold live plants so that they'll arrive a couple of days past the last frost date unless you specify a shipping date. You might check Burpees' web site and see what their policy is. Pam |

Peppers and eggplants will go in when it gets warmer. Burpee, like most other mail order plant suppliers, will ship based on the last average frost date for your USDA cold hardiness zone. If you live in an area with a short growing season like ours Phoenix AZ), you need to push the envelope a bit and plant a little earlier. A few companies will ship earlier if you explain that to them but most, like Burpee, will not because of concerns about potential complaints about the transplants not surviving. Another reason to grow your own transplants from seed. -Olin |
