About

Nature Hills brings the same nursery-grade quality you trust for trees and shrubs to your vegetable garden. Every vegetable plant for sale on this page is a live, container-grown transplant ready to put roots in your soil and produce food in the same growing season. Starting a vegetable garden from live plants rather than seeds gets you a head start of 4 to 8 weeks. By the time direct-sown gardens are still pushing seedlings, your tomato and pepper plants are already setting fruit. For new gardeners and busy growers alike, transplants take the guesswork out of timing, lighting, and germination.

Growing Vegetables From Transplants Transplants give you control over your growing season that seeds cannot match. Choose varieties suited to your space, time them precisely to your last frost date, and watch them establish in days rather than weeks. Sun : Most fruiting vegetables need 6 to 8 hours of direct sun. Leafy greens and root crops can tolerate 4 to 6 hours. Soil : Rich, well-drained soil amended with compost or aged manure. Raised beds and containers work beautifully when filled with a quality vegetable mix. Water : Deep, consistent watering at the base of the plant. Mulch retains moisture and suppresses weeds. Container plants dry out faster and may need daily water in summer heat. Feed : A balanced vegetable fertilizer every 2 to 3 weeks supports steady fruit production. Switch to a higher-phosphorus formula when plants begin to flower. Support : Tomatoes and indeterminate vines need cages or stakes. Set supports at planting time so you avoid disturbing roots later.
