Well, I ordered from 2 different seed catalogs yesterday and somehow I managed to control myself. From Thompson and Morgan I wanted their Cosmos "Double Click Rose Bon Bon" but they were out of stock so I settled for Double Click mixed, some Peony flowered Poppys, Nigella "African Bride", and some Scalloped Summer mixed Squash. From Veseys I ordered the "White Feather Hosta", Crocosmia "Lucifer" and some Elephant Ears. I didn't end up ordering the Hosta collection Droopy. I figured I could find the other 2 in that collection at my local garden center. White Feathers was the one I REALLY wanted. And I've already picked up most of the seeds for my veggie garden so all I need now is SPRING! :-D
I love your plant choices. They should make very pretty additions to your garden. I got three new catalogs yesterday and darn if there weren't a couple dozen temptresses in each of them. So far I am resisting, but when the catalog comes with $25 off coupons or a buy one/get one section it is really hard to put the pen down and not fill out an order form.
Way to go, Netty! You're on your way now, that's for sure. You made some nice choices there. I was shocked to hear that you managed to restrain yourself--why, you could have your membership card from the "Un-restrained Seed Buying Maniacs Association" for that infraction.
You will have a wonderful garden judging by all the lovely plants you ordered. SHOCK-SHOCK - You managed to curb yourself. I cannot wait to see them all in bloom.
Sjoerd - restraining myself while ordering from catalog's is the easy part. Restraining myself in the garden center is another story!
Sounds like we all have the same disease..... Called Temptation....Or hot green thumbs. The grocery store had killer 4 foot palm trees. Green and many leaves......Fortunately I have the same type at home. Not as pretty, but it does restrict my buying another ...... I walked past fast.
