Oh wow!
You mean there ARE some people who manage to avoid seed temptation for months at a time?
And only buy seeds at ceertain times of the year?!?
How do they DO that!?!
For me it's a constant struggle against temptation. Online seed vendor websites are bad enough, but the Baker Creek paper catalog is especially heinous because of the many big, beautiful pictures.
Then there are sales, and "free shipping offers" ... are these guys pushers, or am I just an addict?
For a while, seed trading helped me resist buying seeds, but that has mutated into an excuse for buying bigger packets ("what a BARGAIN!!") and more variety.
For a while, filling "both" tubs that I store seeds in slowed me down, but then I filled a whole big box with 8 tubs and went Hog Wild again. Then I found a bigger box.
But I think instead that a SECOND box is a better idea: then I can stack them to the ceiling if need be.
Then I told myself that "all my beds are already full, many with perennials, so I don't NEED any more seeds".
Yeah, right, tell that to the juniper bushes I just ripped out so I could add two more sunny new beds to the new one in the shade that I was already working on.
These people who only buy seeds once per year - how do they do it?
Is there a 12-Step Program of some kind for Seed Heads?
And how do you convince yourself that you have a problem (other than not enough room in beds for everything you wnat to grow)?
