Seed Catalogs Arriving Daily!

Choices, choices and choices!

There is a bright spot in the cold and often dark days of early winter.  It's the days when new seed catalogs arrive, tempting you with the promise of spring and the joys of summer vegetables.  Each day brings a new offering, covers which tease you with the perfect fruits and flowers.  It's those temptations that lead to me to trying 20 varieties of tomatoes and two dozen types of peppers.  For some veggies, it's the test of finding the lowest price for the tried and true variety...where will I find the best price on Clemson Spineless Okra?  As an NC State graduate, I always struggle with that name, should I be jealous because of the recognition that the Tiger's get with each utterance of the name or is it really a great insult that each time the name is repeated "spineless" is tagged to the SC school.  Since my blood runs Wolfpack red, I like the insult option!  So Clemson Spineless it will be as there is no better okra, whatever the intend of the name.  If it were only that easy to settle on varieties of tomatoes and peppers!
