Whew! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that was a bit weird.
I keep trying to think of why they would need bean and okra plants
instead of just seeding. I plant my beans straight into the hay/straw
mulch-almost no soil, and they germinate. last year, I grew okra in
mulch the same way. Bob, is there some reason that beans and okra are
sold as plants? What puzzle piece am I missing?

have close to a 100% successful germination rate.

I'm doing a lot of [planting from seed this year, but, the results
are much more predictable with the plants, and my space is so
limited.
