Despite the cold weather and dark mornings and evenings there is a ray of hope. My first ever seed catalog arrived and I placed an order for some new seeds.
I ordered from Seed Savers last year and was very satisfied with the lettuce blend and herbs that I ordered online. This year I received the in-print catalog, and I must say this is one time where the printed catalog was more help to me selecting seeds then the online website.
I found that being able to see all of the different varieties of a plant with a short description and growing season saved a lot of back and forth that I needed to do with the website.
On tap for 2012 are Dragon Carrots, Red Romaine Lettuce, Oh So Sweet Watermelon, Bull Nose Bell Peppers, and some Hot Portugal Peppers. I also got some last minute Christmas presents for my parents in the same order which helped me justify the expedited shipping!
I am curious to see how the watermelon and the Hot Peppers do in my yard. We are in a shady forested area but I have managed to grow tomatoes so I am hopeful there will be enough sun for the watermelon to produce.
