New Vegetable Seeds and Plants for 2009

By , About.com Guide

I'm a sucker for a seed catalog. I always order more than I could possible grow, let alone eat. But that won't stop me from starting over every winter, looking for what's new and intriguing.

Some of the plants featured here are new offerings and some are simply becoming more widely available and worthy of mention. I've also focused attention on smaller plants that are suitable for either a small space garden or containers.

I've listed the source who provided me with information and photos and some of the listings are exclusives. However you may be able to find some of these seeds at a local garden center or in one of your favorite catalogs.
