But I have seen the light! I have read about some of you browsing your seed catalogs. I need to know which are some of the better ones, so I can order my own! I love going to the nurseries, and finding unique plants,but you can't always find exactly what you are looking for in the color you want. So h-e-l-p, please! Maybe next year I will have seeds to share
I guess it depends on where you live Kuntrygal. I'm Canadian so I have different catalogs than you would get in Texas. I like Stokes and OSC for my veggies. There are sooo many seed companies! If you do a search for seed companies, you can often see an offer for a free catalog. Half the fun is getting them in the mail and browsing!
http://www.territorialseed.com/ When I do buy full packets of seeds, I often look through what they have first. They get some really interesting ones, should do fine for your zone 8. But hold off on ordering anything until Toni has a chance to let you know, she gets some pretty cool, unusal ones, nonhybridized so the seeds are true.
Thanks CP, that's a good idea. We aren't far apart so what does good for her in N. Texas, might work well for me in E. Texas.
Did I hear my name mentioned? I have ordered seeds from some of these sites and plants from others. Kuntrygal, check out the list of Texas Natives here.... http://www.nativesoftexas.com/ then you can order plants or seeds from whichever catalog gives you a good price. And know for sure that the plant will have no problems in your soil, weather, rain/drought conditions. Plants for Xeroscape Gardening...drought tolerant... http://www.highcountrygardens.com/ http://selectseeds.com/ Seeds of Change is where I got the buttercup Squash that the squash bugs got to eat more of than I did. The Dragon (red) Carrots that I forgot to plant and the Lemon Cucumbers that made really good sweet pickles. http://www.seedsofchange.com/default.asp The organic naturally green cotton seeds that grew and producted several pounds of cotton, also the Southern Pea - Big Red Ripper, the Cherokee White Eagle corn, and the Lima Beans -Worchester Indian Red....none of them did well during the drought two summers ago, but the Lima's reseeded last spring and produced really tasty beans. http://www.southernexposure.com/Merchan ... creen=SFNT Gorgeous Texas wildflower seeds. I visited their fields and store in Fredericksburg several years ago, just gorgeous when all the flowers are in bloom. http://www.wildseedfarms.com/ There is another native plant seed catalog I sometimes get but can not for the life of me remember the name since I have never ordered from them. They all have great websites you can browse thru while waiting for the catalogs and newsletters they send out with special sales and/or new items they are offering.
