Come the middle of January each year my mailbox sags as the glorious and seductive seed catalogues come rolling in. The pictures are so beautiful; the descriptions of each veggie and flower so tempting I could spend hundreds of dollars and end up with far, far more seeds than any city full of gardeners could possibly have space to plant.
So I luxuriate in pouring over the catalogues while sprawled on the couch under a blanket in the depths of winter. I joyfully mark them up with my pen and sticky notes. However I pretty much end up sticking to sorting all last year’s leftover seeds, making a planting plan from them, and only buying seeds I really need! Ho Hum.
This year I thought I’d share the list of the catalogues that come to me so you too can send for them and endure the same torture I go through every year. They are in no particular order of preference just the way the stack ended up next to my chair.
