Bask in the Glory of Seed Catalogs

Now is the time to be drooling over seed catalogues - they are beautiful and free. Here's a link to a Mother Earth news article about the best garden seed companies by state.

My absolute favorite catalogs are: Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company, Seed Savers Exchange, Peaceful Valley Farm and Garden Supply, Bountiful Gardens, Seeds of Change, and Nichols Garden Nursery. The best tree catalog is Forest Farm and a good source for fruit and nut trees is Stark Brothers.

Heads up: buy only heirloom seeds! You can save the seeds, and they will return true each and every year.
