Sorry I haven’t posted. I needed to get our daughter’s packages ready to be sent out. That is work isn’t it, to wrap for Christmas, and then pack them so they get they’re in good shape. BUT that is done. Hopefully, she will have them by Christmas. How are you doing for Christmas? There is always so much a person wants to get done, and it comes down to what gets done, gets done. Weather has been colder than last week, but seasonable. For us today, the sun is out, almost clear sky and very little wind. How are you handling COVID? With the vaccinations, starting up the end is in sight. Just need to be safe for a little longer. I am a spring thru fall greenhouse, so I do not have to worry about sales this time of year. I do help with the shop work that Larry has at Larry’s Garage, but we can safely be 6 feet apart when they come in. Make the best you can with Christmas and be thankful that we will see this thru.
The Old Farmer’s Almanac online, posted this about seed catalogs. I thought you might find this interesting. I am sure you have been getting some already. I have and need to work on the orders as I have been doing. Greenhouse work isn’t over when the door is closed, I promise you that. Have fun looking at the catalogs, the springtime will be here I promise you that.
LIST OF SEED CATALOGS FOR FLOWERS, BULBS, VEGETABLES, FRUIT, & MORE By Catherine Boeckmann
Free Garden Seed Catalogs and Plant Catalogs
It may feel like winter but the garden season begins in December with the arrival of the seed catalogs appearing in mailboxes and online. Here is a wonderful list of free garden seed catalogs and some of our favorites. Given the massive increase in gardening this past year, the growers have prepared plenty of stock and all hands are on deck. Start dreaming!
The catalogs are listed below in alphabetical order. Most of the seed and plant catalogs are complimentary; a handful might not be free but they are still worth considering. None of the catalogs in this list are produced or sold by The Old Farmer’s Almanac. This is simply a list which both Almanac editors and readers have suggested. For a list of Canadian sites, click here.
