Chris' Veggies: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do you offer shipping?

No, I currently offer local delivery only. If you are located more than 10 miles from Independence Mall, there is a $5 delivery fee.

When will my order be delivered?

Deliveries will begin the week of March 10th, 2025 and will be scheduled as your plants are ready for transplanting. I’ll contact you to arrange a convenient drop-off time.

How old are the plants?

These starts were planted indoors on February 1st, 2025 and are carefully nurtured to be strong and healthy for transplanting.

How do I care for my new plant starts?

Once you receive your plants, keep them in full sun or a bright indoor spot until you’re ready to plant. If they’ve been indoors, harden them off by gradually introducing them to outdoor conditions over 5-7 days. Water regularly and provide support for larger tomato varieties.

Can I overwinter these plants?

Yes! While tomatoes and peppers are typically grown as annuals, they can live for multiple years if brought indoors before the first frost. Keep them in a warm, sunny spot or under grow lights, and they’ll continue to produce in future seasons.

What if I need to change or cancel my order?
