I’ve received TotallyTomatoes (yesterday) and Pinetree at least a week ago. I’m still waiting for the Whole Seed catalog purchased from Baker Creek.

Totally Tomatoes came yesterday. Another one came last week, but I don't remember which one or where it even went.

I no longer get seed catalogs. What I don't collect myself I buy off the rack at our local mom/pop nursery. They have a great collection of companies. Although last year I ordered from Baker Creek for the first time in many years. We'll see if I'm now on company mailing lists again.

I received "High Mowing" & "Pinetree" a couple of days ago. I LOVE perusing the print catalogs - sitting at the stupid computer for hours doesn't give me the same sense of contentment.

I don't order from catalogs that much either. I buy most of my veggie seeds off the rack too. I save a lot of my flower seeds and rarely buy them. I ordered last year from Baker Creek when they were doing the Ukraine fund raiser. I look thru them though.

Swan Island dahlia catalog arrived today. Beautiful photos, but prices seem to have increased more than what I’m comfortable spending.

I save seeds of some of what we grow, but not everything, so I order several things. I like the print catalogs cause varieties are presented closer together, and I somehow like flipping the pages back and forth and comparing while making out my order. Haven't received any new catalogs, and I'm on several mailing lists...including the Whole Seed catalog which I pre-ordered. Looking at you, Baker Creek...

I always liked the Totally Tomatoes catalog, but this year they are charging $3 for it, which will ostensibly be put towards a future order. I don't like being held captive like that, so if I'm looking for something particular, I'll just look at them online.

they are charging $3 for it Would be interesting if stores started charging you to come inside and promised a coupon for the amount if you bought something. The amount they charged would align with the amount of a typical sale. So maybe five dollars to get into the dollar store, five hundred to walk into a car dealership. Wonder how long that would last?

Totally Tomato catalog arrived just a few days ago, but I wasn’t charged for it. . I don’t order from them every year, but am a regular customer, I think. Perhaps they are grooming us to shop only online and not expect a printed catalog.

I'm sure that printing and mailing costs are a big factor with print catalogs. I do like the hardcopy as well as the internet shopping options.
