It's almost that time of year again.  The ads are putting out their
first tender shoots in the magazines, and a lot of us are in the mood
for a little armchair gardening.  Yes, our thoughts are turning to...
seed catalogs!

Which brings me to some questions which I would like to pose to the
gardeners on the net:  which of the multitude of seed catalogs do you
think are worth sending off for?  All of them, or are there two or
three you prefer?  When you get them, do you actually use them to order
seeds, or do you just browse through them for fun and then do your
actual buying at the local gardening shop?  Are the super-duper seed
varieties touted in the catalogs really worth it?  And, finally, do you
have any exotic favorites you'd like to recommend?

Please send brief answers to me and I'll summarize.  If you're inspired
to write a lengthy essay on the subject, go ahead and post it to the
net.  Thanks.
