The catalogs are coming ! The seeded player , tree , herb , plant , and garden equipment catalogs are come ! Each year , they get earlier and earlier , and I now have my first one , from Fedco Trees . In an ordinary year , I ’d set it aside to form the foundation of a stack that would grow very improbable indeed as Halloween move over way to Thanksgiving , and Thanksgiving to frenetic December . But this is not an ordinary class . I ’m nursing a broken mortise joint , and have pile of time to read . And if you like a good sometime - fashioned read , Fedco Trees is a big catalogue to get .

Fedco , based in Waterville , Maine , sells vegetable and flush seeds , fruit trees , Charles Edward Berry , plant food , gardening equipment , and book . Fedco offers three print catalogs : source , trees , and bulbs . The troupe was ground in 1978 as a cooperative and caters chiefly to nursing home cultivator and market gardeners in the Northeast . Much of the seed offered is manifest constituent . The company maintains high standards , psychometric test for genetically qualify contamination , and offers excellent customer service .

“ Trees ” does n’t limit itself to trees — you’ll also find modest fruits and berries , vine , roots and stems ( rhubarb and asparagus ) , ground binding ( cranberry , lingonberry tender bulbs and perennial , and decorative shrubs — but trees are the bulk of the offerings . Most , not amazingly . are comestible assortment that will fly high in the magnetic north , including a encompassing survival of the fittest of heirloom apples ( standard , dwarf , and semi - gnome , along with rootstocks for graft ) , apricots , peaches , plums , Bronx cheer , blueberry , blackberry bush , hemangioma simplex , grape , and hardy kiwi . Prices seem quite fairish when compared with similar offerings from other nurseries .

Along with elaborated planting and cultural information , this catalogue , like all Fedco catalogue , is generously illustrated with evocative and often comic business line drawing that invigorate up the catalogue , which eschews colour picture taking .

So what am I set up ? Certainly nothing for free fall planting , not with a surgical ankle . I ’ll be fortunate just to get the Allium sativum in the land . “ More trees ! ” gasps my son . “ Where will you put them ? ” He does have a point . I need to go small . I am tempted by kinnikinnick ( Arctostaphylos uva - ursi ) , a native disperse ground cover . And maybe I ’ll finally make over my strawberry patch , which is well past its prime .
