Please, don't waste your garden dollars! Always plant crops such as beans, beets, cantaloupe, carrots, chard, collards, corn, cucumbers, kale, mustard, okra, peas, radishes, squash, turnips, and watermelons from seed. These plants are difficult to transplant, and transplanting offers no advantage over seeding directly in the garden.
