Gurney's Seed Catalog

Last year when I was buying seed I had a bit of trouble finding the exact varieties I wanted. I signed up for the Gurney Seed Catalog, mostly because they sell Gurney's Giant Magic Pumpkin seeds. How could I pass those up?

In the catalog, all the pictures are bright and beautiful. I thought it would be fun to make a collage of all the seed packets to decorate my (imaginary) garden shed. The envelope came, I opened it and:


Every packet is exactly the same.  No cute collage for me.

I want an invite! Of course, I don't have a garden, but it's fun to dream anyway.

One thing about those Gurneys...when you sign up for their catalog, you seem to get about 1 catalog per day in your post office box from various other seed companies.

You are nuts! Another blog?! Maybe you should grow peanuts in your garden. Get it?

Of course, I still want to be invited to read your blog if you still want me too after that lame joke.

Ditto.

(About the invite...not about the peanuts.)

I'd also like to be invited. Who knows, maybe we'll have a garden soon too!

I took me a long time to get yaya's peanut joke. I'm very slow. And I am very impressed with your garden. Please invite me. I can feel slothful and still enjoy your blog. Really. You will have great helpers this year. melindsey@att.net
