Seed catalogs in November, before Thanksgiving even...

Seed catalogs in November,  before Thanksgiving even...

   Yeah I couldn't believe it either,  Seed catalogs before the snow flies! Like an early Christmas for a gardener. They sat there unopened on the coffee table for a couple days, I didn't want to jump into them to quickly, wearing them out to early, the covers ink smeared off looking old before spring. 

  I think the marketing folks finally figured out that giving me 4 months to look at their offerings may be better than the usual two months in the spring when I am usually deluged with spring catalogs, that maybe, just maybe they'll get an early winter/spring seed order out of me.  They might be right, I am looking for spring seed, looking to add to the bean crops, diversify into some heirloom beans, some additional heirloom tomato, the Black Krim's of last year still memorable but fading fast and maybe some hops too.

This week I received:
  • Stokes
  • Pinetree Garden Farms
I'll let you know what I think shortly.
