Seeds, Seeds, and More Seeds

In the midst of my Christmas preparations, I had to take a few minutes and do some garden preparation of sorts...

Ordering Seed Catalogs! 

Oh the joy of opening the mailbox and finding a treasure there-

a catalog filled with gorgeous photos and tempting descriptions of herbs, flowers, fruits, and veggies! 

There's nothing like spending a cold wintry afternoon dreaming and plotting out next season's gardens, and a seed catalog or two gives me much inspiration. 

If you don't already have a basket filled with catalogs- order some soon!  After the holidays let's share our wishlists for the coming season.

Here are a few links for catalogs I've ordered:

If you have a favorite seed catalog or company, please share it with me.  One can never have too many wish books! 

OK, back to my regularly scheduled Christmas activities......baking cookies for the neighbors and crafting snowman pins with the girlies today.

Hubby dragged me to Home Depot the other night to look at some trim for the house remodeling and I wandered down to the garden section while we were there. I was so excited to see some packs of organic seeds for 2007. I don't know that we'll attempt to grow anything in the coming year, but I definitely want to try. We've learned the hard way that container gardening is going to be the way to go for us in this location.

Hi Catherine,

I made an entry a few weeks ago about seed catalogs and listed a few of my favorites. The ones I have gotten are still sitting on my shelf....I don't start looking at them until after the first of the year and only after it's snowed. With the way the weather has been here in CT I may never look at them. LOL! We haven't even had a dusting of snow yet!
