Gardening Catalogs

g_caillebotte_-_les_jardiniers

I’ve been looking through garden catalogs again- and dreaming about my garden.

It’s amazing how beautiful my gardens are this time of year- but of course, they are all in my imagination. :)

I love leafing through the garden catalogs as they arrive. My eyes are drawn to the bright colored flowers, perfect vegetables, and beautiful green plants.

Of course my imagined garden looks as clean and bright and beautiful right now as the ones in the catalog. As I sit in my warm house with the snow blowing outside I can easily forgot about the pesky weeds, insects, and diseases that become reality as I attempt to put those seeds in the ground.

For awhile I can forgot about the heat, the droughts, the floods, the hail storms and the marauding raccoons.

Right now I can close my eyes and imagine perfect weed free rows full of beautiful produce and flowers.

Winter is definitely the best time to garden!

  1. Your garden is better than mine – someone else is watering yours. LOL!

    Now you made me want some garden catalogs so I’m going to have to find the websites and dream on them. Thanks a lot!

    BTW – my garden is nice and clean right now, covered in about an inch of snow- the perfect amount.

  2. Got our seed catalog in the mail, too! Have made out one list to order, already, but will probably do a couple more-adding & crossing off– then discuss it with Papa for final decision. What will we try that is new this year?
