Seed Catalog Personalities
Can seed catalogs have personalities? Do you buy from a particular company because you like the catalog?
I started this post over a week ago. I was going to write a comparison of a few seed catalogs, but it turned into a cranky rant against one company's glossy catalog. I tried to rewrite the post in milder language, but found I was still cranky. It's just that this catalog was an old reliable - probably the one thing that got me interested in gardening more than any other - and now I don't like it much any more. I feel it doesn't respect me. That it thinks all it has to do is show me some pretty pictures and I'll go chasing them, credit card in hand. Well, it's wrong. I've found other seed catalogs I like much better. They inform me. They entertain me. They like gardening and I think they like me.
The one with no pictures is one of my favorites.
