While looking for specialty heirloom tomatoes, Elena checked a community gardening Facebook group. She found people offering extra zinnia and sunflower seedlings. She even found a local woman selling Asian vegetable seedlings—bitter melon, flat beans, and Indian spinach—from her backyard in town. It was cheaper, and she got tips on how to grow them in the local climate.
"Okay," she murmured, looking at the patchy grass, "where to buy seedlings?" She wanted fast results—plants that were already growing, not finicky seeds that might never wake up.
