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?
