I'm getting besieged by seed and gardening catalogs, and I'm going a little crazy. I want, I Want, I WANT, even it it makes no sense to get things.
I just ordered 3 more tomato cultivars from Tomatofest, because they are on sale as he is discontinuing them. (One of them is 'Gardener's Delight', a cherry tomato that I grew decades in the past, and I know I like it. I also got another Russian tomato (because they do well in our climate here) and a Polish tomato touted as being comparable to 'Brandywine' in flavor. (Not stopping there, I added some marigold and calendula seeds.))
Then I went to Urban Farmer and ordered a few herb seeds, and escaped. *whew*
Baker's Creek got me for 13 packets of seed (and I'd order a lot more, except that I don't know where I'm going to grow these things as it is).
What really is bugging me, though, are the very nice root vegetable storage drawers over at Gardener's Supply. I don't have a root cellar (or a cellar at all), nor a spare cold room to store root veggies in, but I WANT.
I'm almost afraid to look at any more garden catalogs, yet I can't resist... (Dreaming of a larger garden and a root cellar that I will probably never have.)
At least I finally convinced myself (justifiably so) to stop spending money on daylilies (because I like what I have, and the breeders for the most part are ignoring the rust/disease issues).
