Here in Ontario, winter is an excellent time to take stock of what we have or wish to have in the garden, to contemplate changes or prepare and design for the coming season. I am considering adding blackberries. At PTG we have raspberries and strawberries and rhubarb.

I have received my first seed catalogue and what better way to start planning than curling up in your favourite spot with a warm beverage your seed catalogues and make that list of seeds and dream of a new growing season.

As I receive the catalogues I will give a review.

I have not ordered from them preferring to get my seed more local. I enjoy getting catalogues and perusing websites to see what is available.
