I’d grow by seed but I’m just not as good as professional growers. Have a neighbor out here in Volente who grows strawberry, tomato and other plants for sale - good ones - she
sells at the Firehouse market day every quarter.
My neighbor just pulled up his last tomato plants from last year. He had a bumper crop in the fall. We got several bags of various ‘maters.
He had eight foot tall okra plants and we had fresh okra whenever we needed some. He has a strawberry patch that is about 3 X 30 and picks every day.
He has an “onion forest” of shallots that he started from a few plants I gave him years ago. Those have been on the farm for years.
I noticed you also posted a reply about figs. A couple down the street (we dog / cat sit for them when they are out of town) have a fig tree that is taller than their two story house. They let critters eat the fruit.
