I, too, love getting the catalogs. But, I do become a creature of habit...always doing the same thing. The last several years I've stuck with one catalog. I absolutely love the company, Seeds of Change. They specialize in organic seeds and heirloom seeds. They've also branched out into food products. Their catalogs are so beautiful. I let them sit out like a coffee table book. I am mostly a fruit and vegetable gardener and I garden organically....keeping a compost heap, using chemical free grains for my critters so I can use their manure, etc....

The seeds are on the expensive end...upwards of $3 a packet. But, they are certified organic and every seed sprouts.

Actually, I haven't purchased seeds for two years!! Seeds of Change helped me get into saving my seeds. So, my crops have been from seeds I've saved. Another creature of habit thing I do....now that I have all my favorites, I grow all the same things each year...just more of'em.

Another note on organic gardening...I have found that each year my garden gets healthier and resistant to pests. In 2005, I rarely found a pesky bug. Oh, I also try to companion plant and that helps, too.

I'd love to get into perinneals....be my coach!!

Blessings,
Catherine
