24 Seed Catalog

[eyegrotom]

I got my first 2024 Seed Catalog today. From Baker Creek

[karstopography]

I got mine also.

Mine came two days ago. This is the earliest I've ever gotten any new catalog!

Mine came yesterday. It was the first catalog to arrive.

The question is who ordered already

[Gardadore]

I order from them all season long because of the free shipping. If I need more of a seed it is nice to able to order 1 or 2 packs. The purple tomato looks intriguing. Looking forward to hearing what people think of it!

The question is who ordered already

Another question would be, who hasn't ordered already?

LOL! Not me! I usually order by Dec 31st but I'll hold off this year pending the arrival of the MMMM. It always results in changes to plans so this year I'll just wait!

I’m with @GoDawgs I haven’t ordered anything yet either because I have everything I need and want right now plus I’ve been ordering at least once a week cause I find something new haha but I’m done for now

Me and yes it was tomato seeds from some new to me varieties but now a friend has given me a new direction as she is on a severely restricted diet and most of the fresh greens and other veggies she should be eating are not available in local stores. bet yall can guess what will be on my wish list...

I used to just set catalogs aside, in a pile, and after Jan 1st, I'd start looking. That was back when I was working, plus I was baking thousands of cookies every season, and as soon as my garlic was in, my cookie dough would start getting made! Don't make nearly as much now - far fewer to give them to, and some people can't (i.e. shouldn't) be eating sugar anymore!

One reason, that didn't used to happen, that now causes sales at this time of year, is online sales 50% off, or free shipping, etc., for end of season seeds. I didn't used to see this, at least not often.

ok I caved I found a new web site from germany haha... got me more seeds..

Tomato Growers Supply Company is in the house!

TJers (ahem!) claiming to have not placed any orders; understood, it's early November.

The real TEST is how many catalog pages you've dog-eared...

I splurged earlier this year and pre ordered the "Whole Seed Catalog" from Baker Creek. It arrived 2 days ago and I have yet to get a chance to look at it. DH snagged it and is reading it. He comes upstairs yesterday sighing and says I wish our lot was bigger... asks how long our growing season is (this scares me a bit) and of course he want sto know if we can grow the tomatoes on the cover. I wonder if I have created a monster?

I’ve gotten Baker Creek, TGS, and Pinetree at this point. I do like to look through them and get ideas, but prefer to order online. Baker Creek’s 2024 catalog did motivate me to recently place an online order some Gelber Englischer Custard Squash, Patisson Golden Marbre Scallop Squash, Honeynut squash, and Long White of Palermo Zucchini. I feel like if I don’t jump on these early, they’ll sell out.

@wykvlvr I’ve got the whole catalog coming too. Hopefully soon since you already received yours. That massive tome is a work of art every year, I love it.

Of course I have issues so when I ordered the big catalog I had to impulsively order broccoli seeds also. Guess the foour varieties I’m trialing weren’t enough…

[Cranraspberry]

I received the High Mowing catalog yesterday! TGS came last week. The High Mowing one is thick and beautiful, now eagerly awaiting Johnny’s and Harris (that one isn’t as exciting, but I order most of my non-tomato seeds from Harris, so it’s my most used).

Totally Tomatoes is in the house.
