First Catalog of the 2009 Season

photo.jpgThe first seed catalog of the 2009 growing season has arrived!  Fedco get’s the honors this year.  137 pages of gardening pornography. Time to grab my pen and start circling possible choices for next year.  I already have a list of seeds to buy over on my planting diary.

  • Fedco is my favorite place for seeds and plants and supplies. I buy their seaweed fish emulsion and use it for everything. they also have affordable solutions for managing your fruit trees, like pheromone traps.

    Hello,

    Great website. I hope to have my first garden in the Chicagoland area this year. I am transplant from Tennessee, so Zone 5 is new.

    I am interested in the cold frame in flickr pics. Did you build this cold frame or is it a kit. ( I am really hoping it is a kit) If it is a kit, can you please share where you purchased it or the brand of the kit. It look nice and functional.

    P.S. I am also looking through the Fedco seeds catalog to put together my order. I haven’t had a garden in 4 years so I am excited.

    Thanks

    Sam

  • It is not a kit. I had some windows laying around in the garage from the previous owner so I built it to match. Sorry.

    Do you have a recommended set of instructions to build a similiar cold frame?

  • Google came up with a couple good ones. Here’s the first link that looks like the basic idea.

  • Thanks for the encouraging post :) . Means spring must be right around the corner.
