Turkeys For Thanksgiving

Time to order. Turkeys are $6/lb and will avg. 15 lbs. We are requiring a deposit of $25 dollars this year and only ordering turkeys to meet pre-paid demand. We are only going to raise 20-25 turkeys this year instead of 50-60.

First off, they are pure evil… Showcasing the best of the best and luring you in with visions of bountiful harvests in the dead of winter.
I get a lot of seed catalogs and throw at least half of them in the trash as soon as I receive them to remove temptation. Over the years, I have developed a small group of seed companies geared towards market gardeners I buy from.

Last Friday night, I finally took the plunge and begin the odyssey of delving through seed catalogs starting with the Tomato Growers Supply catalog. Jenifer was apparently reading my mind again and informed me that we would not be growing 30 varieties of tomatoes this year…

Well, I might… We are developing a test garden area to trial new varieties before we put them in larger-scale production.

Ordering Seed

Johnny’s Seed has been my main source of seed for 20 years and more recently, High Mowing Seeds.

My first seed order this year was from a company I have heard about for years but never ordered from. Fedco.

Johnny’s and High Mowing offer multi-color catalogs. Fedco does not. In fact, ordering from Fedco is a pain. Online orders, fax, and mail. No phone orders. Their catalog is black and white newsprint.
