New Year new Seed Cataloges

It is the New Year, 2010... And we need to change how we say that to twenty ten..

Well with the year comes the birth of January and lots of seed catalogue in the mail. Yes as you sit snuggled inside with a hot cup of tea, it is time to plan the garden.. Oh so much fun!!

I am so excited to pick out the new verity of seeds and plant to try this year. I am also begin after 5 years if gardening, (4 in Twin Falls) to understand how we eat, and thus what to grow.

This year for instances I will be growing a hybrid Roman tomato. Something I am usually aposed to. As a rule you should always uses open-pollinated organic seeds. Heirlooms if you can find them.

It is key to seed saying that you have open-pollinating plants, if not the seed you collect will not grow or the plant will not produce seeds at all. If you mix open-pollinated plants with non than you risk having your plants cross pollinate loss the seed from them also. So if you who would like to have seed from your best plants, that are hardy and grew well in the little micro-climate of your garden, that is the way to go.

And where do I get the seeds you ask? (Who am I kidding, I only have 2 readers..I will wright, maybe they will come) These are my top four... Of course in order of favourite..

#1 Territorial Seed Company (this catalogue is so helpful, it has the most info. on each plant veritay of any I have found. Keep it you will references it all the time.)


#2 Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds (largest collection of heirloom seed on the plant)


#3 Seed Savers Exchange (all organic)


#4 Irish Eyes ( a younger farm from the North West, lots of cool potatoes!)


I hope this is helpful to all of you.. And Happy Planing to plant!!
