This should keep you busy a little while. I know that "I gotta garden" urge! God bless.

It is SOOOOOOOOOOOO nice to know I'm not the only one.I've gone ballistic with seed catalogs lately, I'm even ordering some that I KNOW I'll never order from 'just because'.I went to pick up my perennial flower seeds this last weekend & ended up buying $35 worth.......my wife is still a little peeved about that, but I promised to limit my lunches at work to make up for it.But now I'm not allowed to go thru the garden center at our local Wal-Mart without supervision. Oh The Shame Of It All!!!!!hehehehe I just can't wait till I can start getting my hands dirty again, but wait I will, since I have no choice.

I want to mention Sand Hill Preservation Center again. I received their catalog yesterday and I'm very impressed. (Thank You ROGO!!) They are a family who is dedicated to the preservation of heirloom seeds and poultry. Lots of interesting non-hybrid corn, tomatos, etc. I'm sending in an order asap.

kelly, I keep looking at the garden layout (paper) & keep a hopin' & a wishin'! I've made out the seed orders & am impatiently waiting for them to arrive and am still getting more seed catalogs in the mail!

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only person who has stacks of seed catalogs and can't be unsupervised in a garden center. I always see the miracle of life in a seed. And, I buy far too many miracles in that form! LOL! I remember the year my daughter and I planted 80 tomato plants! Can you believe that! And for two families totally 5 people! We have cut down considerably!. Now....back to the catalogs....

I had to show my husband this thread--just to show him I am not crazy! His response was "so, you have company"LOL.Last year. I planted 80 tomatoe plants, gave that many away and threw away that many more. I have ordered 10packs of tomatoe seeds and would order more but I know better. I have these "cute" little drawings of the orchard (what I "need" for it) and my garden(where I want things to go).I call the seed catalogs my "wish books"!!! Yea, it must be cabin fever! Burpee's offers a heirloom catalog. Nice selection of tomatoes, peppers, and corn.And their big atalog is beautiful. I also like Shepherd's it is part of the "White Flower Farm".

Its minus 18 Celcius (you do the math..it baffles me to convert to F) and the garden is under a foot or so of snow. To say I am getting antsy is to put it mildly. I started doodling a garden plan for whats going where this year and how much of each I will need to fill my purposes (always too much of this not enough of that). On top of that I am tending my houseplants like nobody's business and I think they may get spoiled. So to take the pressure off them I started raising sprouts..mung, alfalfa,wheat,and peas. its not the same but it'll have to do. sigh.
