A seed catalogue addict, that is.
Yep, it's that time of year again ,when all those wonderful heirloom seed-saving organisations send out their catalogues. As usual, they're packed with vegetable names ranging from the practical and abundant-sounding, to the luscious, then the downright exotic, and always accompanied by scrumptious-looking pictures.
I think the pages of most of mine are already stuck together with drool.
Oh for an acreage! Where I could grow melons and pumpkins and potatoes of all description, with enough room to try one of each of those divine-sounding heirloom tomatoes, and space left over to experiment with grains like quinoa and amaranth.
Ah well, probably a good thing I don't have all that space, I'd go broke ordering all those seeds ;-)

lol, I drooled over mine yesterday and ordered a heap more seeds. Currently deciding whether to bid on a compost bin on ebay!
Hahaha, I totally understand!! I'm now trying to hide the mail that comes in for me from Eden Seeds!
God I know what you mean! Ive spent another $90 on the new diggers catalogue this week!
I have a tiny block, but I am giving the melons a bash anyway. Have also conned my mother into letting me set up a mini melon/pumpkin patch at her place (yay).
ooooh I haven't got my diggers catalogue yet.. maybe today!
And you know.. acreage is over rated - we have 10 acres and it is a constant battled to deal with the weeds and plant trees, and keep the non-walking child am used while outside so not much gardening actually occurs right now..
Heh, that's funny. I was just saying to my boyfriend the other night that the Diggers catalogue is my favourite magazine. I loooove seed catalogues, especially when they have nice pictures of foooooood.
Glad you posted this, I have been meaning to join the diggers club for a while but keep putting it off, but you reminded me to do it so yay! Hopefully will get my catalogue soon so I can start figuring out just how much I can cram onto my balcony! PS-Have finally gotten around to starting my own blog - you are one of the many people around here who is helping inspire me to get my *ss into gear :)
You are a lucky girl...
My Diggers seed annual hasn't arrived yet for this year.
I certainly have enough room at this point to ensure I am perennially broke from seed and plant purchases. Now I just have to get the beds created to put them all in.
Kind Regards
Belinda
