Territorial Seed catalog has everything I need

It's time to order seed and the Territorial seed catalog is here. Although i spend time perusing every catalog that comes, I keep coming back to Territorial to buy everything but the specialty items that have caught my eye elsewhere. Here I get all the standard vegetables whose seed I haven't saved from last year's garden and also the hybrids that I have to buy new every year.

Territorial is located in Oregon and their catalog covers everything from artichokes to Zznnias, with ten pages on tomaotes and again on lettuce and European greens. I'm always amused to see Purslane in the greens section of catalog because it grows as a weed in my garden and the first few years, I tired finding a way of making it delicious and failed. Now I till it under as it makes a good green manure. They have large section on herbs and also flowers and are introducing a gorgeous orange red Coral Reef echinacea that comes only as a plant, but would really brighten a tall border.

The catalog includes fruits and berries and the obliatory seed starter kits. There are greenhouse growing supplies and season extenders. Now red mulch is being sold as well as the red Kozy-coat water filled plant protectors which I'm going to try as my family is coming in early summer and it would be great to have some tomatoes for them to pick. I'm also getting the BirdBlock protective netting. It is 3/4" propylene mesh and will go over my corn row to see if I can keep the crows and bluejays from eating the corn before I can get to it.

It's a great feeling to know the seeds are ordered and on the way. I can sit back and relax and wait for the soil to warm up(and dry out!)
