Every year about this time after the main gardening season is over, I take a bit of time to go my notes of what plants did well and new varieties that I would like to try the following year. Then I set about ordering seed catalogues that usually arrive in the coldest part of the winter so they are a cheery sight! I keep seed catalogues as garden reference material so they tend to add up a bit. This year I decided not to place my annual seed catalogue orders. All of these catalogues are available online with just as much information if not more and the catalogues are searchable. I will miss the brightly coloured seed catalogues arriving in the midst of winter but I think using the online catalogues is the eco-friendly choice.
Happy Gardening!

aha...but doncha know you can use them as Mulch in the garden? :) They are so nice to thumb through. I'd go stir crazy if I could not read my garden catalogs. i take them to work with me and read them on break even.
ReplyDeleteTrue you can use them for mulch but I think not getting them is the eco-friendly thing to do. I can view them on line with my iPod touch when away from home :)
