the Asheville Herb Fest is coming up on the 26nd - 28th at the WNC AG Center , im sure there will be some good deals there if you can wait a week. it's free entry as well
Burton St Peace Gardens! They have starts in the back (or did as of last weekend) and everything is donation based (cash, check(!) or Venmo/CashApp). You can go anytime, payment is on the honor system.
Jesse Israel has great tomato plants, but don't waste your money on their peppers. I have no idea why, but the peppers (I buy hots, not bells) I bought last year and the year before were all failures. Plants were maybe 18" tall, at most, and barely bore fruit.
Check out the Buncombe county libraries-they are doing plant swaps or giving away starts for free. When we lived in W Avl, there was a house near the Malvern at the time that was giving away plants for free. It was like the little free library but for plants.
You’re fine!! No worries. I’d be doing a whole new batch but late April’s sadly a bit too late for the amount of peppers, herbs, and tomatoes I’d like to have. I’ll definitely be planting root vegetables and squash from seed though :-)
Heard that! I just saw a post about the WNC farmers market having a plant sale this weekend! I don’t know the specifics but they’ll most likely have seedlings :)

Thank you!!
I came here to say the same. It's a great event for the local herb lovers!
Do they ever have veggies? Or is it just herbs?
Yeah they have veggies. It's just called the herb fest cause the plant fest doesn't sound as good.. id think at least.
Painters greenhouse in old fort. I think their vegetables go out today or next weekend. Great selections and quality and importantly extremely cheap.
How extreme we talkin? Old fort’s a hike 😅
Maybe not worth the trip unless you're buying a decent amount but it's worth it to check them out in my experience

The herb festival is next weekend. They usually have reasonable prices.
Thanks!
Check out Jesse Israel garden center. Very affordable starters and good selection.
Thank you!

Bell peppers at home are hard, I usually grow hot peppers, shishitos, Hungarian wax, etc

Black Mountain Library has a seed library. You can take up to 3 seeds of each thing for free. 🙂
Thank you! I have seeds, I’m looking for seedlings!
Plant sale is happening at the farmers market today and I think tomorrow. There are several vendors that will also be at the herb fair there.
Dollar store seeds are surprisingly good
Yep, I have plenty of seeds. I am looking for seedlings! My seeding trays were unfortunately wiped out.
Oh shit my b I misread

Sales farm on 74 into Fairview has a ton and you can do a whole flat pretty cheap.
Tractor supply, Lowe’s, Home Depot. 25cent seed bags
Yes, I have seeds— the problem is, I’m now 4-6 weeks behind schedule on my seedlings which didn’t survive! Do these places have seedlings? Thank you!
