If you purchase your vegetable plants from a local nursery, as I do with tomato plants, instead of starting all of them from seed, there is no way that you will have a 100% organic garden. Since the tomato plant (in my case) is fed by the nursery with gardening food, it is not organic. Unless there is an Organic Nursery in your area, you will have a little garden food in your garden, or, not a totally organic garden.
But, if you are completely into organic gardening, DON"T purchase seedlings from a nursery. Start them inside or in a greenhouse from organic seeds. This will allow you to have a 100% organic garden!
It isn't easy to plant seedlings inside. You must first plant them, care for them and, finally, harden them. The hardening process is a harsh but necessary process that gets the plant used to the outdoors after being raised in a warm indoor environment.
