Thank goodness for seed catalogs!

We have at least 8-10 inches of snow on the ground - it's cold and white everywhere! Though we did have some broccoli for lunch - picked while it was frozen in the field. It was still pretty good!

With all that cold out there, thank goodness the seed catalogs have been coming. We've gotten about half a dozen of them or so. What lovely pictures of fresh veggies, beautiful flowers, fragrant herbs...makes us dream of next year's market season.

Prices of seeds have gone up this year (haven't they for everything else too?), but not the 50% higher as some folks thought we'd have.

We'll have to select what varieties we want of items we already grow, plus find a few things to experiment with this year! Any requests?

My first catalog this year was Seed Savers Exchange. Glad to have found your blog Cheryl. I saw that you're speaking at the PASA Farming for the Future Conference this year. I'm not able to take time to go, but I'm trying to get a few farmers' market friends to go!
Thanks for the fantastic pictures!
