New favorite seed catalog


I have been receiving most of my seed catalogs over the past few weeks and I received one I have never seen. I went to their website last year after a friend told me about them and requested a catalog. The company is PineTree Garden Seeds.

The reason why I like their catalog so much is because I felt like they had a lot of varieties that other catalogs do not. Many of the mainstream catalogs all seem to carry the same stuff with little deviation. This one filled in a gap I was looking for with special varieties. For example, I have been looking for a really early broccoli and cauliflower to grow in the spring since we have such a short spring crop season here. This one provided me with varieties for both that are about 10 days earlier than ones I could find in other catalogs. I also found a number of banana pepper options, most others give you one.

I also found really good prices. For example, I want to grow a mild or sweet jalapeno this year since I love the taste, but not the hot. They have a variety called Fooled You Pepper for $1.65 a packet. Stokes also came out this year with a sweet jalapeno called Dulce, yet it costs $5.75 a packet. As you can see, they are a great option.

I have updated my seed catalog post from last year so that you have a good list to choose from. If you are new to vegetable gardening, then you should click the link and order all the catalogs you want. Even if you aren’t new, you may find one that serves you much I like I found PineTree Garden seeds.

Hi Alex,

You mentioned that you like the flavor of Jalapenos, but not the heat. I was wondering if you have found any Anaheim types that are mild? I have grown a number of what are supposed to be mild Anaheim types, but they all turn out to be hotter than mild.

Thanks,

Brett Tatton

I have not come across mild Anaheims, but I have also not been looking for them. Anaheims have the highest scoville rating of all peppers so it would seem like it would take great effort to tame them. Let me know if you find any.
