FYI: Veseys Starter Plants Now Available

Limited supply - Order now to avoid disappointment  Dear Fellow Gardener, Veseys famous vegetable, herb and flower varieties are now available as pre-started, ready-to-transplant Starter Plants! We have perfected our packaging and shipment of these pre-grown plants and are certain that you will find that they make gardening so easy! Orders for these Starter Plants must be received no later than April 5th. These plants will be shipped around the beginning of May in specially designed packaging so they arrive ready to be transplanted into your favourite window box or container and grown inside until after your last frost date. You can choose from our favourite Tomato, Pepper or Herb varieties, as well as a stunning line of annual flowers that are specially selected to help you design beautiful containers that will perform all season long. Ground Cherries  are very sweet and taste a bit like pineapples. They can be used in preserves, pies or over ice cream, but here at Veseys we love to eat them raw! New this year - Eggplant transplants! COMBO KITS CULINARY HERBS TOMATOES EGGPLANTS
