This afternoon, while the biggest snow storm in four years was howling outside, I cozied up inside with tea and seed catalogs and made plans for the upcoming gardening season. I ordered seeds for disease-resistant tomato varieties from both Territorial Seeds<\/a> (Galahad<\/em> and Purple Zebra<\/em>) and High Mowing<\/a> (Marmalade, Caiman<\/em>, and Mountain Sunrise<\/em>), and shallot sets from Fedco<\/a> (Roderique<\/em>). I still need to place my order for herbs, flowers and some vegetable seeds with Sand Hill Preservation Center<\/a>, which needs to happen soon, as in mid-February, I will need to start my first seedlings.

PS. The Baker Creek catalog is a piece of art. Such a pleasure to browse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update<\/span>: On January 28, I placed my Sand Hill Preservation Center order via snail mail. I ordered Tuscan <\/em>kale, Altaglobe<\/em> radishes, herbs (sage, thyme, lemon basil), and flowers (Petite Mix<\/em> marigolds, snapdragons mix, Alaska mix<\/em> nasturtium, Iceland mix<\/em> poppies plus Polar Bear<\/em> and Oriole<\/em> zinnias).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
