Catalogs

[bestofour]

This week I got my Gurney's and Prarie Moon.

[Jessica]

I haven't seen any yet, Sheri.

[Tina]

Mine are rolling in, too. I got Gurney's and Henry Fields and another few online ones.
I'm not on Prairie Moons mailing list. i better go sign up.

Tina, unless you've been planting like a mad woman, mad I say, you don't need anymore seeds.

[duh]

lol, I resemble that remark lol.  But I have received my burpee's catalog.  And your right there isn't anything in there I need.

And I still have some comming from our seed exchange.

Tina, unless you've been planting like a mad woman, mad I say, you don't need anymore seeds.

But you can always dream. I actually have a lot of area that I could plant. But for me it is getting water to it that is the issue.

[Wrennie]

I got pine tree garden seeds a while ago, and burpee.

I sold burpee seeds in my store one year. End of season I had a sign that said 25% off Burpee seeds. A lady came in and asked whats a burpee seed? Like it was one specific type of seed.  I shoulda told her it was to grow a burpee plant! 

[duh]

lol, sounds like a question I would have asked before I got into gardening.

[Dianna]

We got our Gardener's Choice catalog today...

I see lots of pretty plants in it...

[Tina]

I have a whole stack of catalogs now. All have pretty pictures on their covers. I am afraid to look inside.

[bestofour]

the only seeds I plan on buying at this time are pea seeds and giant sunflower seeds.  I don't even want to look at anything else or I'll be in big trouble.

[Jessica]

I haven't received a single catalog.

[bestofour]

I don't know how I got on all these lists.  I don't order much from these catalogs.  I ordered some from Henry Fields last year but haven't even received a catalog from them.

[Penny]

I have gotten 7 or 8, and they are filled with lots of stuff i like, but dont need.....sadly.

[Jessica]

I used to get them, Sheri.  Maybe they stopped sending them because I didn't buy anything.

[duh]

My catalogs have pretty much gone in the trash this year.  I know I have more than I can handle at this point and need to work on the landscaping probably for the next few years.  Otherwise all the soil I buy ends up in the cattle pen next door rather than in my garden.  I have a lot of retaining walls to save up for.

[bestofour]

If I can find seeds in the store I'll buy them there rather than from a catalog this year.  I don't need that many and shipping would probably kill me.  I have never had a bunch of luck with ordering plants through the mail.

[duh]

Ditto on the plants through the mail.  I'm waiting to see if the primroses and the variegated weigela survived all of this snow.  I bought them from Springhill as live plants and they didn't look all that great when I put them in the ground last fall.

[bestofour]

I brought some dwarf gardenias and patio blueberry plants from Henry Fields and they haven't done well at all.  I gave the gardenias to my mother and I think they all ended up dying.

[Jessica]

I try to buy everything at the local nursery.  If I can't find something then I would look in a catalog but typically it is bulbs or something. 

[Penny]

I just got another catalogue now, from Hope Seeds.

[Bonnie]

The only one I have received is from Stark Bros. The magazine that I really like is Birds and Blooms, but that isn't a seed catalog.

[bestofour]

I love my Birds and Blooms too Bonnie.  I was reading it today.

[Jessica]

I get Birds and Blooms too.  I like that magazine.

[Dianna]

We got our Four Seasons Nursery catalog yesterday. I love dreaming about all of those plants and flowers...
