computerized plants

Is it okay to buy a plant or tree on www . I have no care about buying one online because
1. I do not know where it came
2. It came from a different soil and state
3. I do not know if they are cared for properly(health of soil, damage roots and limbs)
4. If I really wanted it, I could just go to Green Mamas or some other type stores near me right now instead of waiting for 7 days.

Has anyone bought anything(plants of course) online. How was it? Was it all in one piece?

Thank you for any comments.

I will admit, I have purchased plants online. I have given in to the beautiful pictures in the catalogs that I am inundated with each week. :roll: A few have done well, but on the average, I must admit it was not worth the money. The plants are hardy to the area, so I had hoped for better results.

On the other hand, I have had great results from seed purchased from www.seedsource.com. I believe most every seed germinated, and the plants are doing great! :)

The most successful plants in my garden are ones that I have purchased locally from nurseries and garden centers that grow them organically. :D Proper care and nutrients are of great importance especially during the early stages of development. Plants raised organically perform much better than those started on high nitrogen fertilizers!

I know it is a bit of a drive, but the Denton Organic Society has a seed exchange at every meeting. You do not really have to bring any, if you do not have them. The next meeting will be in January.
:wink:

I know there are inland sea oats, zinnia, coreopsis, and squash seeds. Also available is partridge pea seed.
