It’s time to order your seed catalogs for next spring! Nothing helps you get through the long winter like browsing through seed catalogs with a cup of hot chocolate, a pad & pencil and a dream of a warm early spring. I’ve created a list of some great seed catalogs and a link to their catalog request page (so you don’t even have to navigate through their site). It may not seem like the greenest thing to do but so long as you recycle your catalogs, it’s okay in my book. I love thumbing through the color photos of gorgeous vegetables and herbs and planning my upcoming garden by drawing it out on paper. I go to Google Maps and print out an aerial photograph of my property and draw my garden to scale. This is the best list of vegetable seed websites and catalogs.

I’ve been so busy, I haven’t had a chance to prepare the garden for next year! I’ve got a lot of work to do before the snow hits. I have to remove trellis’ and posts, dig up the onions and carrots (who are still sleeping tight underground), take in all the hoses and irrigation lines, cut down the skeletal remains of the veggie plants and compost them and turn the ground over. Ugghhhh…. Here’s what dire shape the garden is in now.
Coming up in our next blog; How to save your seeds for planting next year and Preparing your garden for planting in the fall (autumn) and winter.
Thank you all for making us the best small farm flog on the web.
Thanks – you make me feel better about the sad state of my little garden. Some nice weather this weekend SHOULD mean I’ll get it cleaned up before winter!
You’re welcome! Hopefully the weather is nice and we can both prep our gardens for spring.
Hey Dan- which one would be best for California in your opinion ?

Check out Southern Exposure Seed exchange http://www.southernexposure.com/
All heirloom or open pollinated seeds, worker owned cooperative, nice people, great catalogue and garden guide, advice for seed savers as well as supplies, and they specialize in varieties that do well in hot, humid summers (they are in Virginia.) I’ve not been unhappy with anything from them, and they have an amazing number of old time varieties available.
Thanks for the like on my Hawk Love post.
