Seed Catalogs - 6th Review

You know you're a "Garden Nerd" when...................you schedule your vacation around your garden.

Over the next few months I will be reviewing and grading some of the seed catalogs that I have received for 2012.

Here's how it works - There are 4 categories:
A:  Variety of seeds and plants
B: Unique Items - original items that I have not seen in any other catalog
C: Visual - cover and content - graphics
D: Organization - are the items easy to find? and does the overall catalog flow well?.


The grading system:

0=Bad
1=OK
2=Good
and an extra Bonus Point for excelling in 1 area

Each category will be graded using this system making "9" the perfect score (including the Bonus point).

Please feel free to participate - if you have ever ordered anything from any of these catalogs then please feel free to comment.....good or bad.  Afterall - I am giving these companies free advertisement.  ENJOY!



Seed Catalogs - 6th Review (John Scheepers Kitchen Garden Seeds)


A:  This is very specific to the title - obviously all about culinary herbs and vegetables.  Although there are a few ornamental flowers which I assume are for center pieces
1 point
B:  Golden India Edible Pea Pod
      Dandelion Greens
      Green Zebra Tomatoes
      Black Pineapple Heirloom Tomatoes
      Brown Mustard Seed
     2 points

C:  The cover of this catalog is very nice - however the inside is pure business.  Nothing special or unique about the interior.
1 point

D: It flows fairly well - each category is alphabetized.
1.5 points


That makes a grand total of 5.5
