Reading Seed Catalogs

Seed Catalogs provide a dizzying array of options of seeds and plants. Retired MSU Horticulture Specialist Dr. Lelia Kelly talks about how to read the wealth of information provided in seed catalogs. Catalogs provide information about each variety including optimal growing conditions, disease resistance, days to harvest and what the plant looks like when it is mature. Lelia also talks about catalogs versus nurseries and how to take advantage of both when choosing plants for your garden.
