Gardening Deals and Deadlines for 2007

Have you ever gotten ready to order from a mail order seed or plant merchant, only to discover if you’d ordered a few days sooner you could have gotten a discount or a freebie? I have. It’s more than annoying–it makes me feel like I’m losing my penny-pinching touch. So I decided that this year I’d keep better track. And if I’m going to use my computer to keep track, it isn’t that much harder to stick it up where everyone else can take advantage of it. So here it is.

Deals are discounts or free offers. They’re organized alphabetically. Deadlines are dates, either for the expiration of the deals, or last day to order, unless the last day to order is the last day of the year. They’re organized chronologically. Keep in mind, though, that just because you can order in June doesn’t mean the item will be in stock. Also keep in mind that some catalogs may offer deals only to certain customers, to try to tempt them to buy. If you don’t fit their criteria the offer may not show up on your version of the catalog.

I don’t get every catalog printed (thank goodness), so feel free to alert me of other deadlines and deals through my contact form, but limit yourselves to firms that ship to the United States. I hope to turn this post into a page that will be visible in the sidebar, so you can check more easily for updates. If for some reason you’re not getting enough catalogs, check out Cyndi’s Garden Catalog Web Sites.
