    Here in the states, we start getting gardening catalogs from nurseries and seed companies in late Dec. and early Jan. I usually have 5 or 6 by now, but this year I have only received one. I got a catalog from Gurneys the other day. There is only one mail order co. that I trust to have good stuff. That is Johnny's Seeds out of Maine. I have ordered from them for about 5 years now. Have never had a problem with them either. I usually don't get their catalog until Feb. though. A lot of those companies won't send you one if you don't order something for several years. That must be why I'm not getting many! They are nice to look through and dream about!

    Too many to mention, well, at least 6!! I've not looked too closely at them as my willpower when it comes to my garden is not my strongest assset and I really don't have a lot of space left. :rolleyes:

    Yes, about 10 so far, of course I don't order from them all. In fact, since I already have tons of seed, I am only ordering new stuff.

    Richard wants to try the lemon cucumbers and I want a pumpkin called Hooligan. Then there's the Brazilian Fireworks and Snail Vine, and the Mt. Fuji morning glory and a couple of other MG's I saw. Actually I found a couple of the things at WalMart, they carry Burpee seeds.

    Several catalogs - haven't had a chance to look at them much. I don't usually order too much but do like to look and dream.

    This year in addition to my regular Canadian catalog's I ordered a few American seed catalog's. So far I have received one from Park's and one from Thompson and Morgan. I must say, they both lots of great stuff! I wonder if hubby SHOULD hide the cheque book!
