    It looks like you're going to enjoy some yummy food at your dinner table this year. I do enjoy looking through the Baker Creek Heirloom & Southern Exposure Seed catalogs. Enjoy!

    I hope your Beer Friend performs as well as it did for me here in VA. Outstanding! There was never enough, though... I am increasing my plantings 500% of that this year! You will love, love, love how well behaved, neat & tidy the plants look, too! Congrats on getting the kind of porn in the mail that doesn't require brown paper covering :)

    ThreeC, I can just picture you curled up with some catalogs in your winter jungle room.

    Susan, I like Southern Seed too. It one of the few I've ever come across that sells the green cottons.

    Erin, you were the reason I ordered those beans! I knew how much you loved them...

    Ah yes, garden porn. Baker Creek does those full color spreads too. NICE!

    You gardeners crack me up.

    Now..is there a link between the uptick in potential seed orders and the receipt of a canner for Christmas?

    Pick 'em when they are full but still bright green... steam or boil for 10 minutes, cool, toss with a teeny drizzle of olive oil (makes the salt stick) and sea or Kosher salt, pour a beer and suck 'em out of the pods - HEAVEN! I grew 2 crops and NONE of them made it into the freezer this year! Nature's perfect snack!

    Darla, I wanted to get them quick, quick before some of them sold out.

    Shamu, no, but I think it's a great excuse to buy more seeds!BAHAHAHA!

    Troll, I know Erin thinks they are, so I'm gonna give them a try.

    Thanks a bunch Erin! :)

    So, is there a plant called Sweet Dani or was that your sign off? My husband is also rejoicing with all the seed catalogs.

    Thanks ScMomma! Hopefully, this cold will let up by the weekend and I can gt out and start planting.

    Granny Annie, Sweet Dani is a nice little Lemon Basil that's been around for awhile. Couldn't resist buying it since we shared the same name. Well, I'm really a Danielle but no one other than my daddy ever called me that.

    You are so lucky to be able to garden all year long! I bet you have to use tons of fertilizer. :)

    Oh My! I think i have seed ctalog envy. This past summer we had herbs, seedless blackberries, crab apples. yellow pear tomatoes and sweet bell peppers. I am trying to convince Blowfish we should have a real garden this year. Maybe not what y would call "crops' but certainly a larger variety of veggies.
    Happy New year :-)
