i am reading gardening books and magazines, seed catalogs, and a few fitness mags. looking for inspiration for my garden and my weight loss goals.

I've received several recently:

Burpee

Tomato Growers Supply

Grandma's Garden

My husband teaches ornamental horticulture and for the first time, we have a home where we can actually grow vegetables and flowers, unusual ones. But he just found out that most of the catalogs he’s been requesting, old companies that he knew of as a child and younger man, are mostly fronts for marketing companies that bought out the names of the companies. He’s incredibly disappointed, so we’re going to research privately owned seed and plant companies. About 80% of these companies are these fronts.
