| History |
'Astraea' is referenced in Greek mythology as "star maiden" whose mother represented justice. She was considered the last of the immortals to live with humans who fled from humanity's wickedness. She ascended to heaven and became the constellation Virgo. The scales of justice that she carried became the nearby constellation Libra. |
The table below shows the estimated shipping and pick-up weeks for destinations to USA states. These dates can change depending on weather and how strong the plants are at that time.
For example, a wet spring will have many clouds leading to less sunshine. Thus, the plants may need a bit longer to grow strong enough for transplanting and transit. With the planet heating up, a warm spring may help the plants grow strong enough to ship before the dates in this table.
