I buy what I know grows here in my area from the local feed and seed stores. They are usually open pollinated and perform well, but for variety and something different I order from Baker Creek. If you didn't get a catalog in mail, you can request one for free! Makes good reading on the long, cold days of winter while we wait on spring. Do you have a favorite seed company you order from? Would love to hear about it.

I've bought a couple things off of them in the past, but the deer got everything that came of it!
ReplyDeleteGS..We have a bad problem with deer too and use the deer netting from Lowes around the garden. In the Florida sun it did not last as long as it was supposed to so we have started putting chicken wire in certain areas.
DeleteWill have to check it out ...... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, Papa Bear and the Marine.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and yours TL! I think you will enjoy the catalog if nothing else for the pictures!
DeleteMamma Bear,
ReplyDeleteI love getting my catalogs, and planning my gardens during the winter. I have this specific catalog, and love getting seeds from Baker Creek.
Me too Sandy! I have already marked the pages of some different seeds I want to try.
DeleteI got mine and held it up and said "AHHHHH" the hubs thought I was crazy lol!!!!
ReplyDeleteYep....Garden Porn....hahahahaha
DeleteYou promised me a recipe on this post.
ReplyDeleteBakers Creek also has a magazine they put out quarterly "Heirloom Gardener" that is an excellent read, along with a very informative location where they do a festival each year.
Most of my tomato seeds all came from there.
LOL Preppy...
DeleteI saw that magazine on the website. Will have to check it out. I ordered tomato seed from them last year and didn't get a chance to do a trial run on them. I will make sure a few are planted this coming spring.
We got it yesterday, and can't wait until I have some quiet time with the catalog.
ReplyDeleteOh! It's the only company I order seeds from, and they do business right.
DeleteK...after I thumb through it several times and dog ear corners of what I want to order, the catalog eventually makes it way to the magazine rack in the bathroom. Papa Bear says it makes great reading on the "throne"...hahahahhaha
DeleteOh, sniff......I don't have my catalog yet.
ReplyDeleteT...I hope your get yours soon before we order all the good seeds!...hahahaha
DeleteGuess I will just have to order online, but actually turning the pages of a catalog is much better. Love the smell of the paper.....is that weird?
ReplyDeleteWere you born in June T?...My Mom and I both were and we love paper products, pens pencils and stationary. I like my kindle but still love the feel of a real book in my hands.
