Last week, an early Christmas present arrived- the Fedco seeds catalog. If you're not familiar with Fedco, it's a small seed cooperative in Maine. They have amazing variety selections with low prices. I know this sounds like an advertisement but I don't know what I would do without Fedco. The catalog itself is a work of art with lots of timely, thought-provoking quotes and illustrations. The variety descriptions written by the company's founder C.R. Lawn are often funny and always interesting. The variety offerings range from those best suited for home gardeners to market gardening.
For those of us from Northern climes, the catalog emphasizes cold-hardiness with a large proportion of varieties that perform well with a short growing season.
Here is a link to a downloadable copy of their current catalog. In addition, here is a link to their online store.
