The selection at your local garden supply may be only a half dozen cultivars ready to take home as transplants.

Transplants may cost more to ship also. If you are planting your garden late or do not have the patience for starting plants from seed you may want to shop locally for transplants, or bedding plants as they are sometimes called.

Now that you know which seeds or transplants you need, you can peruse the Sales & Discounts page or check out the Farm Stands , Farmers Markets and Local Suppliers pages.
