Tomato Seeds or Grown Tomato Plant

One of the most popular plants to buy when starting a vegetable garden are tomatoes. Tomato plants are one of the easiest plants to take care of when it comes to starting a garden, but the question is whether you should buy a tomato plant that is already grow or buy the seeds and start the plant from scratch. Here are some pros and cons to buying a tomato plant already grown or buying the seeds for a tomato plant.

A pro for an already grown tomato plant is that you don’t have to wait long to get tomatoes from the plant. Having to start from scratch means that you will have to wait six to eight weeks for the plant to be able to start producing tomatoes. After the seeds have grown for six weeks, then you’ll have to wait for the tomatoes to grow. If you are impatient, I would recommend to buy a grow tomato plant so you don’t have to wait as long to get tomatoes from it. A pro for buying seeds is that you get to see the progress of the plant slowly growing to maturity. It makes you feel more satisfied since you started the plant from a seed and now you are getting tomatoes from it. Another pro for seeds is that they are cheaper than a grown plant. A grown tomato plant is around 20 dollars while seeds are around 2 dollars. A pro for a grown plant is that they are easier to take care of rather seeds. Seeds have to be watered a lot and need to be looked after much more than a grown tomato plant. Those are a couple of pros and cons to buying a grown tomato plant or buying tomato seeds.

Problem with Buying Plants Online

With online shopping becoming more and more popular, the ability to buy anything online is now possible. Even some products that you would think would be impossible to ship to your front door are now available to be shipped. One product that is now able to be shipped to you are live plants. I haven’t purchased a plant online yet but I have been looking and plan to buy one in the near future. However, there are some problems that I am coming across when looking for plants to buy online.

The main problem that I am coming across is when looking for plants to buy online is the prices of some plants that I want to purchase. For example, I found a plant on The Sill’s website that I think is too much for the plant. The I am talking about is a house plant that is called a ZZ plant that comes in a small grant planter. The plant is only 4.25 inches tall and only 5 inches wide. The price of this plant is forty dollars before taxes and shipping. Depending on where you live shipping can vary. For me, living in the Midwest, shipping was twelve dollars. In total, for buying one plant, it costed fifty-four dollars because of taxes. Fifty-four dollars for one small plant that I can buy from the store for much cheaper doesn’t make me want to buy the ZZ plant online. It might just be this website but I can’t see myself buying plants online if they are going to be insanely priced. Let me know in the comments if you’re coming across this problem too.
