The first seed catalogs, always reminded me that there was still a future, something good could be in it.
It pleases me that you are finding interesting posts, that fit your needs, LOL, keep reading.
And do post, if you will, there is so much that I miss posting,
and the readers are all types, city, farm and in the middle.
Hold on to your old catalogs, you will soon notice that you are using them for research.
I usually don’t start looking at seed catalogs until the new ones come after Christmas, but my neighbor and I were talking about tomatoes and I need to look up what I think is called Amish paste tomatoes. She saw some this summer that looked like Romas but were much larger. I think this is probably what she is talking about.
Also, I need to do more research on sweet potatoes. We have trouble growing them here, and I think it’s because of the clay soil. I remember my mother buying sweet potatoes that were actually sweet - not the cardboard tasting things you buy now that you have to add sugar to make them edible.
