Catalogues

The seed companies have begun their annual assault. We have a foot of snow on the ground and they've got the cure. Dreams, that's what they're selling. All those glossy photographs of flowers and vegetables make any gardener itch to be shoveling and planting. But all we can do is sit and dream. They've got it right, you know. We'll be cooped up all winter with nothing to do but wish and plan, look at the catalog again, wish and plan some more.
