Check, Mark, Order!

I consider myself a good to very good garden shopper. By good, I mean that I always shop at local garden centers spring, summer, fall and winter that's pretty much year round. Just a week ago I shopped and purchased close to ten indoor herbs and more seeds. I find just about everything I need locally so technically why does my heart skip so fast when I open the mail box and see five new garden catalogs? Today, February 3rd, (My brother Tom's birthday) my most favorite catalog arrived - Filaree Garlic Farm. The 2015 garden season has officially arrived at our house!

This thin, 33-page small paper catalog isn't fancy, and that's not at all important to me. All I care about is that they offer my long-standing favorite garlic varieties, along with a few new ones to ponder. This year they've added more organic seed potatoes, organic sweet potatoes (brand new item) and organic shallots. I can't spend much more time writing this blog, I need to sketch in some new varieties on my garden plan and start circling what I want to order.

I hope you're having as much fun as I am perusing catalogs (if you're an on-line viewer, that works too). Below are some photos from some past garlic seasons.
