The first gardening catalog of the season arrived today! My Pinetree Seeds for 2012 came in the mail. Tonight a glass of wine, a fistful of sticky flags, and my garden catalog--bliss!
Lucky You!! All I have been getting are the catalogs wanting me to spend a fortune on useless but cute items for holiday gifts.
All I've received is a catalogue for Pavers shoes!! How I would enjoy having a few gardening ones to while away these long, dark nights.
I got stark bros. the other day and HPS seed catalog today, but it is the very same one I already have, bummer!
Oh Boy...I hope I get one. I ordered seeds from them this fall for sprouting and microgreens. I ordered online so I hope they think of me when they create their mailing list.
I suppose there is something to be said about the tactile feel of a paper catalog vs. the electronic page and the click of a mouse. It might be nice if the computer catalog people could simulate the tantalizing feeling of a quick flip through the pages. I wonder if they could recreate the flash of color as some flower catches your eye and your fingers attempt to locate the elusive page. I fear that someday that joy of a real catalog will be a distant memory and the seasonal missive will fade away. Already we can do all our ordering online but it just doesn't seem right to curl up with a laptop and a warm cup of cider to dream of spring flowers. So I will continue to relish, while I can, the catalogs of fall and flowers yet to be while a crackling fire warms the room. Now where is that red flower....... Jerry
Kathy, if you want a paper catalog from any seed supplier, just request it on-line. Pinetree will send you one of their colorful, informative, and fascinating catlogs on request. I'd loan you mine, but it has drool marks all over it.
Vesey's catalog came yesterday. It's nice and thick and full of gorgeous color photos ... this one should get me through winter
I got a Pinetree Seeds catalog last week and today catalogs from Totally Tomatoes and Vermont Bean Seed Company arrived. Now I can join the 'glass of wine, fistful of sticky flags and garden catalog bliss' club with you Jane.
