Page 5 - Beat winter by thinking spring planting This site is being rebuilt, please pardon our dust. By Mary Szymkowiak Nothing beats cabin fever like pouring over seed catalogs, mentally planting the garden for next season. No stamps or envelopes are needed. In most cases, you can simply complete a company's online request form and, within a few weeks, the catalog is on its way.
Many companies also provide online catalogs to further expedite the process.
The only problem is narrowing down the choices. The tasteful, earthy design and fabulous photography rank this site as one of my favorites. Offering a sharp contrast to the Seeds of Change site, the Virtual Seeds page is more commercial and conventional in design. The site boasts 3,000 listings, including many grasses, flowers, and vegetable seeds available in bulk. While the page design for the family-owned Heirloom Seed Company is somewhat elementary, it is entertaining.
