Early May is just too early for some tender and fragile plants to be outside. 2. Plants like melons, cucumbers, and squash are actually vines, which get tangled together and are easily damaged before they can be sold. 3. It’s cheaper for you and just as reliable to plant these vegetables as seeds directly in the ground. The seeds come with instructions. It’s easy! 4. You’ll have access to more varieties, including plants like beans, peas, carrots, radishes, and beets that don’t transplant well. 5. You can share and swap extra seeds with your friends. 6. You might want to keep some seeds to plant a late summer crop (especially great for lettuce, carrots, radishes, beans, and peas).
