List of Free Seed Catalogs for 2013

Take a short break from the holiday madness to put in your order for a few free 2013 seed and plant catalogs. If you order early, you'll have some exciting reading material to peruse while you're sipping eggnog in front of the fire.

This is one present you can give yourself that won't cost a penny -- and isn't that refreshing. Many major seed suppliers have their catalogs printed and ready to go -- all they need is an address.

I ordered mine from the list below, and the whole process only took about 20 minutes. It's a wonder of the modern age that you can make an electronic request for a snail mail catalog you can then enjoy (and mark up) from the privacy of your own low-tech rocking chair.

All of the below links are good, so grab a catalog hot off the presses. Growers have new and interesting plants -- or reliable heirloom favorites -- to tempt and challenge us year after year. The photos in some of these catalogs are spectacular. Many catalogs include informative descriptions and even tips and recipes.

Enjoy the hunt for the perfect herb, veggie and decorative plant seeds.  We can compare notes later.
