    Default Garden catalogs

    I love/hate this time of year. I hate it because of the cold and snow but I love getting all the garden catalogs.

    Does anyone have any favorite catalogs that you buy things from?
    So far I have got:

    Jungs
    RH Shumways

    I don't really have a favorite.

    I love the Totally Tomatoes catalog, just can't believe the variety. I enjoy looking through all of them, but I always check the reputation of the seller against Dave's Garden website reviews before I order.

    I usually receive Jungs and Shum. too but haven't gotten them yet. Also get Tot. Tomatoes and Guerneys - usually, but have never ordered from them so could get dropped. darn!! Thompson Morgan is another one that is fun to look - tons of flowers. Has been years since I have ordered from them.

    I order from Pinetree Garden seeds - www.superseeds.com
    And quite often from Nichols Garden Nursery - -
    www.nicholsgardennursery.com

    They have a good variety and often new stuff. Both also have lots of other things like books, spices, general 'garden toys' and soap making things. Have had good luck with their germination rate. They also will describe taste/flavor for when trying something new. Also - REASONABLE POSTAGE!!

    I just got Jungs and RH Shumway last week. Totally Tomatoes was about three weeks ago I think. There is also an Heirloom seed catalog we have gotten a few times that I really liked, but like FF, I may have gotten dropped from the list because I never ordered from them. The Shumway catalog is my favorite to look at with all the vintage style drawings.
