I get a lot of mail here and opening it is something I will do anything to avoid ... but not so much this time of year. The last few weeks have brought many, many garden catalogs to my overstuffed mailbox. I'm in the mood to garden, but, eeek, not in the mood to weather the weather. So the garden catalogs -- which fellow GetGrowing blogger Craig Sailor and I call "garden porn" -- will have to do. For now.
Today's garden porn pick: "The Cook's Garden," which has a subtitle of "seeds & plants for gourmet vegetables." OK, I'm in. I'm all about growing things that I can eat... or dump off on somebody's desk and slink off before they notice (referring to the great zucchini giveaway of two summers ago... people avoided me for days after I harvested. I guess I didn't need all those plants).
The page I'm coveting now: 38. It's all about specialty greens. We're talking Mei Qing Choi, Par-Cel and Dandelion Ameliore. Oh, that reminds me, Ed Murrieta will be writing about cooking greens in the 2/27 Food section. You'll want to read it. I'll have to... because I intend to grow a mess of greens this spring. Co-workers: consider yourself warned. I will be sharing.
Have a favorite catalog? E-mail me at sue.kidd@thenewstribune.com.... or just post a comment and let us know what we're missing.
