Shopping for plants on the internet may sound counter intuitive, but it is an excellent way to shop for them. Plants travel really well and are packed so that they remain intact and have sufficient food and water to arrive in peak condition.
However, you must buy from well-established suppliers. The older firms have been in the business for a long time meaning that they know what they are doing. They only sell plants that stay in good condition despite the postage process.
Choosing Veg Plants
For a first time gardener the bewildering choice can be a bit of a problem. However, it need not be. Start by choosing vegetables you and your family like to eat then do a little research. Check to see if these vegetables will do well in your kind of soil and the position you plan to plant them in your garden.
You need to plant out your veg plants at the right time of the year, so choose those you can plant at the time of year you are buying them.
If it is the first time you have grown that particular vegetable buy veg plants that are well developed. The older the plant the better chance they will take and grow well. Follow the planting and care instructions they come with for good results.
