When you are first starting off with planting your garden,
you may be confused on what plants to plant. You might have an idea of what
type of garden you want; vegetable, flower, etc. But you might not know all of
the possible plants that are available in those categories. That is where a
seed catalog comes in handy.
A seed catalog is a great tool to help you get your garden started.
Seed catalogs provide a lot of information that may be helpful in understanding
more about the plants you are interested in purchasing. Each seed in the
catalog comes with a picture of what the plant will look like when it matures
into an adult plant. They also give a description of the plants characteristics.
This may include how much sun the plant needs a day, it’s hardiness, and how
much water they need. Some catalogs may go as far as to telling you what shovel,
rake or clippers to use when planting the seeds. Not every catalog is the same
though. Doing your research on what each catalog provides is very important in
narrowing down the search for the right catalog that meets all your needs. Not
to mention that there are a lot of free seed catalogs that are available too.
Hopefully this helped you understand what seed catalogs actually
do and maybe made you want to sign up for a seed catalog yourself. Listed below
are some free seed catalogs to help get you started.
