Got my first seed catalog today

I really hope I am chosen in the community garden lottery this spring. I miss veggie gardening. I leafed through it this afternoon, but its hard to know exactly how much room I would get (they don't say).

Apart from veggies, I now must do research on what flowers are deer repellent or resistant. We didn't have to worry about that in Vancouver.

Anyone else garden-dreaming?

Kay, not so much yet, although I did just say to DH that a pile of plant and seed catalogs should be arriving any day. I'm still trying to plan my dead of winter projects, although I'm certainly looking forward to spring gardening.

I need to figure out what to do with my large box of seeds before I procure anymore. I save seed catalogs though because they have so much info about plants and always look forward to new ones.

My SeedSavers Exchange catalog came a few weeks ago. I've cancelled as many other hard copy catalogs as possible but the irpictures are nice too look at when everything here is brown. They feature mostly heirloom varieties. I've bought a few packets from them, but a lot of the local grocery stores sell Botanical Interest seeds packets, which is a local company and what I usually get.

The only catalog I get voluntarily or look at is Territorial Seed which is out of Oregon and specializes in seed suited for the Pac NW. Always have had good luck with them. It IS really nice to look at on dreary days

Most of my seeds these days come from swaps or annual exchanges like the North American Rock Garden Society. I have itchy fingers so I am germinating some desert willow seeds I plucked off a gas station tree while traveling through the Texas panhandle a month ago. I L-O-V-E seeds

I like foraging like that too. I just distributed some showy milkweed I swiped from a storefront landscape in a downtown shopping center. It was overflowing onto the sidewalk so it seemed up for grabs.
