Cold And Rainy January Days Equal Seed Catalogs
What do you do on a rainy and cold, 41degrees cold, January day?? You whip out the seed catalogs that’s what!
With a steady rain this morning and the cold temps, nobody wanted to get out today, luckily we fixed the fence we needed to yesterday when it was sunny and nice!
So today on this cold blustery day, I start the annual seed selecting ritual.
Cold January day
Looking through these seed catalogs reminds me of one thing, I don’t have near enough money as I do want for new seeds to try, so what ya gonna do? Guess i’ll just get the ones I can afford and hope have way more money next year!
Seed Catalogs
The Catalog Review!
As usual Johnny’s Selected Seeds has the deluxe catalog, 205 pages of full color seedy goodness, they never fail to impress. Johnny’s has an awesome website too. I have ordered from Johnny’s in the past and have never had an issue .
Pinetree Garden Seeds has a nice catalog , not as glossy and large as Johnny’s, but still chock full of seeds, info and tools. One thing I like about them , they have sections of ethnic and region seeds for example French, Asian and Latin American. They also have some seeds you don’t see in other catalogs, tobacco for one.
Willhite Seed Inc. is a Texas seed company out of Poolville, Texas. They have a well laid out catalog in full glossy color, they arent as big as Johnny’s or Burpee but they have what looks like the largest selection of watermelon varieties I have seen, along with several different sweet potato varieties.
Burpee has another very nice catalog, but then again, they have been around forever, they know how to do this stuff. With 146 pages of stunning color photos, you will love this one, I know I do!
So there you have it, my list is long and expensive at this point, I will narrow it down soon and place my order, Can’t wait for it to warm up and the gardening can begin!
There are several other catalog that I order from, but they haven’t arrived yet…stay tuned!
