Someday I’ll be saving all my own seeds but even when that day finally comes, I’ll still rely on seed catalogs to find new seeds, connect with other gardeners, and learn about new products.
Right now, seed catalogs are my naughty little winter addiction. I LOVE them. I spend hours pouring over each one, though some of the electronic-only ones are getting difficult to bring to bed with me. I mark them up, circling all the things that interest me before going back and culling with costs and practicality in mind. I even caught my 12 year old today circling things in one of the catalogs. Seeds, supplies, and books–she’s watching me and catching my addiction.
I suppose this is how drug-users feel. I get excited when I see one poking out of the mail box and am torn between dropping everything and looking through it immediately or hoarding it, taking pleasure in the anticipation of looking it over.
How about you? Are you as addicted as I to seed catalogs?
Here’s some of my favorites:
Pinetree Garden Seeds–these folks rock. Great seeds, great prices for home gardeners!
Southern Exposure Seed Exchange
I’ve gotten to where I just buy open-pollinated, heirloom seeds so I can eventually save seed. It’s a process though. And while this is just a small list of some of my favorites, it should get you started if you are looking for good, trustworthy seeds.
