When will you start ordering your seeds from catalogs?
Q

Better now than later. Do it as soon as you can, then later you can add in from trades or what you find in local store. Remember, the economy has tanked, and because of it a lot of people are now growing a little salad and herb garden when they never did before. Last spring seed catalogues were swamped and it took nearly twice as long for most people to get their seeds. Hybrids run out faster than OPs because novice gardeners select hybrids because they take less care to maintain. If you, or anyone else, are looking for tomatoes I can help with that--I've just enlarged my list to 150 varieties. Here is a link that might be useful: Your Choice Tomato SASE

Has anybody got their Mid-America catalog?

Mid-America's catalog hasn't made it to Kansas, either. I'm getting real impatient! I called Sutton's the other day, thinking it was so late that maybe my name fell off their list. Nope, they just don't have them mailed yet. Maybe the end of this week. Sutton's online catalog won't be up for another 2 weeks. Guess I got spoiled by how quickly BlueJ iris and Snowpeak had theirs available for ordering! By the time they all trickle into my house, I'll be thinking daylily instead of iris. cindi

Has anyone had any experience ordering from Roots & Rhizomes?

Yes, I’ve ordered from them 5 yrs. The lovely Daylilies are always true to what you selected, and the clumps are large and healthy. Not one of them has failed to thrive. Actually the neighbors and dog walkers always stop at my house to admire the 30 some lilies that reliably bloom every summer. They’re so healthy, I have to give away babies. I also purchased Veronica, and I have to cut it back to get sun to shorter plants. I don’t know about customer service, because I have never needed to contact them. Perhaps the negative reviews are due to operater error.

Bakers Catalog--Anyone order from here?

I second NancyLouise's glowing recommendation ;o) I order baking utensils, specialty items (flavorings, sugars, Bakewell Cream, etc.) from them. I ordered my Viking stand mixer from them last year when they had free shipping on it. One thing that's great about their ordering process is the fact that they charge shipping based on incremental weights, not on items. So if you order an item that weighs (for instance) 2.5 pounds and the shipping "level" is based on 2-3 pounds, they will let you know the items you can order that won't cost you extra in shipping. Good for you, and good for them...a good marketing ploy, but it works. They have always been very helpful, and you can actually speak to a baker in their test kitchen. They will give you feedback and honest opinions. I've never had a bad experience ordering from or dealing with them. Nora

I've ordered from John's and had a great experience! If you want more opinions stop by Dave's garden watchdog. You can look up the company and see what other consumers who have had good or bad experiences say about them.

Good luck!

I've never ordered form any of them, but I buy seeds from Seeds of Change whenever I find them locally. Everything I've ever bought from them has had great germination and have become strong and beautiful plants.
