some other things to consider
Vegetables listed in the Not Suitable to be Grown as Seedlings (red) section can be transplanted if you are extremely careful but your success rate will be so low that it generally be not worth your while.

Some readers will note that vegetables the Not Suitable to be Grown as Seedlings (red) section are often sold in nurseries as seedlings.  I think this is very unscrupulous of them to do so as if you buy them you will usually just throwing your money away.
