Past Fragers and the guy at Eastern Market on Saturdays (both of whom have limited selection) does anyone know of places that sell a broader array of vegetables?
Home Depot's selection is very uneven, and it seems to be kind of crappy this year. I went with friends to the RFK market and they had some stuff (including Thai basil). You can get herb plants at the H Street Farmers Market. Things like squash and pumpkins start well from seeds outdoors. Otherwise, you might try Loews, or a real nursery.
I usually start my peppers inside from seed, and that works pretty well (they are easy to grow).
Are there any particular veggies you are seeking?
