Catalog List 2016

Inside our garden shed

January is seed and plant catalog month. Catalogs pour in from companies you shopped last year plus several new companies. It is too cold to do much gardening but the weather is just right for dreaming.

Maybe your garden needs more vegetables, herbs, perennials, or wild flowers that take less fuss and feed wildlife.

Whatever you imagine, online stores and mail order catalogs can help you plan and put it all together.

Seeds of many native plants, perennials, wildflowers, herbs and cold weather vegetables can be started any time through February and be ready to plant out in the garden after the last freeze.

When you know what will be on your list, check out a few vendors, their prices and shipping costs. Many offer free shipping for large orders.

If you are avoiding GMOs, order open pollinated and heirloom varieties. Vegetables in particular, can be easier to grow if you choose the disease resistant varieties.

Almost all the online and catalog stores have monthly email newsletters where they offer growing tips, sales and other useful information.  You might want to set up a separate email address to keep them out of your primary in-box.

Many seed and plant suppliers are online only; companies that offer free print catalogs are marked with an asterisk on this list.
