4 free seed catalogs to order for 2014

in , , , , , , , , by Linda A Kinsman, Friday, January 03, 2014

While I put away my Christmas decorations and tell myself I simply MUST organize my closets, I’m dreaming of warmer days, flowers in bloom and veggies on the vine. That can only mean one thing: it’s time to order my seed catalogs! I limited myself to just 4 per year and I change them up each year by adding a couple of new ones. 

This year’s choices are:


Burpee:

Of course Burpee would be #1 for me. I plant more Burpee plants and seeds than any other because they never disappoint. I bet you plant alot of Burpee products too.

Seed Savers is new for me this year too. I want to try my hand at growing some Heirloom veggies this year and their seed catalog looks so pretty and inviting, I just had to order one.
