And They Keep Coming
My mailbox is being clogged by seed catalogs. Seed catalogs are fun to look through, but I don't like getting catalogs from random companies that I don't order from. I find it really annoying because I don't know these companies and how reliable they are. Those catalogs just end up getting recycled. I have to be good about ordering this year. I told myself that I won't be ordering any seeds or bulbs this year because... I went a little overboard last year and still have lots of seeds. I have to force myself to not order anything. I KNOW... that is going to be impossible. LOL.

It is hard to resist all those glossy photos.
ReplyDeleteI try to make a plan of what I truly want before I allow myself those impulse orders (and they happen!)
You could always write to the companies and tell them to stop sending the catalogs to you. :)
ReplyDeleteI always want to order so much!
ReplyDeleteWow - good luck with not ordering any seeds! That would be hard to do!
ReplyDeleteThis year I only got catalogs from Territorial, Peaceful Valley, and Thompson and Morgan - and I'm kind of glad. I've looked online at Johnny's Selected Seeds, Renee's Garden, and FedCo Seeds - those are the three companies that I will be ordering seeds from.
Definitely write or call those companies and tell them to stop mailing you catalogs - and to remove your name from their list / not to share your info with anyone. Sucks that someone out there is passing your info along to places you've never asked to receive things from! I hate when that happens.
I am REALLY trying to limit the number of seeds I order. It's hard. It helps that I am BROKE right now, but still. With all those tomato seeds I got through trading last year, why on earth should I still want to try MORE varieties? (and where am I going to put them?) Sigh.
I know what you mean! I have tons, just stacked up. I keep meaning to look through them and pick out some fun new heirloom varieties :) I have no idea how the majority of these companies got my name - I haven't heard of many of them.
