Daydreaming through the Seed Catalogs

Took this picture a week ago from my porch. And while it's (very) cold outside, I'm doing one of my favorite things to do in my organic vegetable garden: going through my seed catalogs and daydreaming my future garden. It's so easy, no hard work digging, weeding, planting! The seed catalogs I prefer are: Seed Savers, Johnny's, and Territorial. I never can resist trying something new, something exotic. But I have my tried and true favorites also. Like costa romesco zucchini, the old fashioned zucchini with the ribs, best texture and flavor! We often take for granted that which comes easily to us, like the abundance of zucchini. But I treasure them as zucchini is so versatile in recipes, from pickles to casseroles and breads!
