I love your enthusiasm, please do more seed videos.

[@adement2able]

i definately agree!

[@danpozzi3307]

They are such great people at Baker Creek. They produced a show at the cinema county fairgrounds on Heirloom vegetables. I was contacted and gave them Gardens for their first years. The owner and the staff are so down to earth and so nice.

[@DavidEgesdal]

2:50 start

[@AnthonySparta]

Much appreciated buddy

[@crtinkering7323]

YES THANK YOU

[@jemmy2323]

Thanks!

[@truthseeker7575]

Baker Creek has some awesome options you won't find anywhere else. Mini melons for smaller yards and single living. Lots of groovy things. I have 2 needy felines here, too. Doing kale and chard this year for the first time.

[@TheNDulgE]

Just wanted to say thank you for this video, I referenced it last year when I was getting seeds for my first garden and I had more success with these crops than others did with years of experience. I went to start my seed order again and came back for reference yet again. Love the this channel, so helpful and inspiring!

[@missyhorvath235]

Thank you for the recommendations Patera! I have used Baker Creek for years - I love their family story and mission. What a treat when I am able to visit their Wethersfield, CT location and 'shop'.

[@OldAlabamaGardener]

I didn't know you were a Master Gardener! Good for you! OAG

[@appalachiashomesteadwithpatara]

You learn something new every day, OAG! Sure am! xoxoxo

[@candicechristensen1753]

I buy from Baker Creek too! so fun. I love their catalog!

[@dawnteskey5252]

I just found Baker Creek Heirloom last year and LOVE their catalog, eye candy. The seeds are fabulous.

[@whitneyanderson6050]

Wonderful. Thank you soooo much. Went directly to baker creek and locked these 11 seeds up for my garden this year. Nice to have a homestead approved list to get. Boom !!! Done that !!! After all this rain in sunny California I'm looking forward to spring.

[@homesteadinggrandma5045]

I bought the Tennis Ball lettuce and planted it mid March under my poly tunnel. Let me tell you all, it is the best lettuce I've ever grown! So delicious and prolific. Even my hubby loves it. Thanks Patara. I bought all the recommended seeds on the list, ha, ha. Looking forward to trying them all!

[@slm3913]

Oh I agree! Loved Baker Creek seeds. Everything I ever ordered from them came up so good.

[@karlagrecar4317]

I had never heard of lime basil until you mentioned it in an earlier video, I will have to try it. I grow regular basil with my tomatoes and love that in my cooking, and in my salads.

[@everydayrosalez5493]

yes, Baker Creek! It's fun to try growing something new yearly, and then stock to those good old staples! I'm looking forward to planting in the spring and to start sharing some videos of the garden! Thanks for sharing your faves Patara!

[@mpatrick743]

I just ordered from them! So glad you enjoy them!

[@o.o1163]

I really love watching you, thank you for your honesty and for all the information you share 🤗😊.

[@leelee001]

yay, for spring hurry fast Happy planing everyone .

[@nickjuly4998]

So excited for the perfect timing of this video. Had added more to my wish list just hours before this. Perfect excuse to add to my list and order today. Thanks so much !!! Looks forward to growing big this year.

[@IDunnoYouTellMe2152]

LOVE Mister Peaches!

[@missydouglas3818]

I live 1 1/2 hours away from Bakers Creek and love to visit their shops. It kind of reminds me of Walnut Grove on Little House on the Prairie

[@karenweber8893]

you are such a Character! makes me smile because it is genuinely who you are.

[@megsmith3526]

I recently moved to Idaho from Arizona. I finally got the hang of gardening in AZ, but now am starting over. I am here at my table surrounded by seed books and seed magazines and was wondering, "now that Ive decided to grow heirloom plants that I can harvest the seeds from, where do I start next?" I decided to jump in with both feet knowing nothing about any seed I was going to order and began my list from a seed savers exchange catalogue. Then my internet went down so I couldn't order. :) I believe you've helped me tremendously to at least know of a few tried and true vegetables that you've grown. I'm going to try your list and pray. : ) Thank you huge! You are adorable! I love your enthusiasm and learned so much from you too about caring for our hens in snow and below zero temperatures! To my amazement, we even have a few Arizona hens that are willing to lay eggs in this crazy winter weather. : ) So proud of those girls! Thanks again!!!!

[@PrattFamilyHomestead]

We love our Baker Creek seeds! We're still in the experimenting stage for some seeds, but we also have some that we resort back to each year as well! Great variety you had there! ~Jeni

[@miamisweets]

Loved the topic of this video! We've been getting serious about our little vegetable garden and can't wait to do it on a larger scale. When we started we made the mistake of of buying a gazillion seeds w/o knowing which ones were reliable producers in our area. Yup, we had lots of failures and it was discouraging. Now we ask around which is great, but hearing your successes and what you like about them is awesomely helpful :)! We're hoping you do more like this and continue to share your successes :)!

[@AppalachianLiving765]

Watched this for the first time today. Love this. You should do another one for this year.

[@laura-annstewart627]

I'm the same I have my favorites of a few things. Still experimenting to find my favorites of a few things. Ion in northern bc canada and I raise the rainbow Swiss chard we love it . Even in the northern climate it produces like crazy.

[@scottmac007]

I bought and planted Bonnie Best tomato seeds for the first time this year and they are really taking off so I am excited for the harvest!

[@annaduvall4106]

I bought mine basil this year, interesting flavor, should be fun to use!

[@SundazeFarm]

Thanks for the suggestions! I ordered the lime basil you recommended and can't wait to try it! Also got the tennis ball lettuce and a few other goodies I'm excited to try this year.

[@chiefchick]

You are awesome. Thank you for these suggestions!

[@barbara-pigeonbray4579]

Getting our garden ready to plant ( March 2021)...thanks for all the good advice ! Yep ...love zinnias !!

[@ammiecoburn7480]

Patara! Thank you for this video. I have been trying to plan my garden for 2017 and these tips couldnt have come at a better time.

[@sondrajackson3171]

Just bought, "The Whole Seed Catalog" from Baker Creek last week! Even though I can't have a garden I still get catalogs every year and pick what I will grow someday when I can garden again. :) I will buy seeds and save them too.

[@throttleupprepper]

My gardening has not been the best the past few attempts. Your video is inspired me to give it another shot this year. Never heard of it I am basil or Israeli cucumbers but now playing to try them both! Thanks

[@o.o1163]

I really do want to meet you someday, once I get settled, get a better car n can travel, thank you for the enthusiasm, you honestly tell people the honest truth and don't sugar coat things and I appreciate that about you🤗😊

[@chick-a-bee-farm]

Thanks! Going to give a couple of those a try this year. 😊

[@sharonousmankobo3602]

I love Baker Creek seeds because of the great germination and viability of the seeds!

[@MsPierre200]

Will start my plants from seed in late Feb. Ready to plant out doors in April.

[@cwframing412]

Just went and ordered my seeds from there! Cant wait!! 💜

[@sherrywhite1457]

I think I will try the lime basil. ...thanks got my B.C. catalogue

[@deborahchoma7096]

"Passionate Patara," loved the seed tutorial and per your recommendations, just completed another purchase from Baker's seeds. Thank you kindly!

[@dschott1083]

Girl, you had me at Mr. Peaches...thanks for this video!!

[@Pepper5655]

I eat my peas like that too, Patara. Last year I didn't plant enough, they didn't make it into the kitchen usually. My grand daughter loved them as well. I can't get her to eat peas from a can, but she will eat them straight from the vine. I love it. The first thing she would do when she visited was go check out what she could pick and eat from the garden. Also when anyone would visit she would give them a tour and tell them all about what was growing. It makes my chest swell with pride. Thnx for sharing.

[@rebeccalindner2349]

Thank you for information I was getting a little overwhelmed with trying to pick for this year

[@WahWeeWooWah]

I've tried seed saving before and have had a hard time with it. I gave up pretty quick too. Hopefully I can nail it this year!

[@melissacoombs6192]

Ordered my seeds today! Love Baker Creek!

[@deewinston5651]

Thanks Patara! I have a small backyard garden so thank you for the helpful info. Love sweet Mr. Peaches.🍅🥒🫑

[@nanaloves6064]

I am ready for spring!!!!

[@traciperdue]

One big yummy garden!! Have a good night!!!

[@mimiweddle669]

You've inspired me to order my free catalogue and start ordering!! Thank you for sharing! 🤗

[@OldReddingFarm]

love that lime basil ! very cool.

[@Mamaisawake]

Oh please do one of these for fall planting 2022!

[@thewintergardener2873]

I love Baker's Creek... I've ordered from them many times over the years, and they are a pleasure to do business with.. Right now I'm growing Golden Cheyenne peppers, and Pineapple variety tomatoes from seed I got from them.. I was surprised the size of some of these tomatoes.. Very large, and beautiful red & gold coloring.. I just ordered a couple Eggplant variety seeds as well from them.. Prosperosa, and giant Iraqi Aswad..

[@rosehavenfarm2969]

It's January, time to order from Baker Creek!

[@dpark949]

I planted some rattlesnake beans a couple of years ago. So good!!!! Now that I have a garden again I'm planting them again. Can't wait to eat em fresh and can them up for later.

[@1Lightdancer]

Love Baker Creek seeds as well! Just ordered some last month - especially looking forward to pink celery and the bitter melons!

[@jeff6899]

Love Baker Creek ! I order from many every yr...High Mowing Seeds definitely included--so is Johnny's & Burpee (usually), etc., , but Baker Creek is my main go to now every yr...

[@henfeatherhomestead981]

Just got my Baker creek seed catalog. Ty

[@moniquemcdowell351]

I love to see seeds that kids can plant and work on will be ordering from baker creek

[@gbC4mpos]

i love your energy! I am going to pick up some of these with my next order from Baker Creek!

[@jawjagrrl]

90% of our garden was Baker Creek seed last year with many successes and quite a few will repeat this year also! the only seed in common with your picks is the chard which we loved, loved loved! we are in NE GA and similar zone to you. Lots of success with dwarf bok choy, Morris heading collards and red beauty, Tom thumb lettuces. we're harvesting daily from the winter garden but still excited for spring!

[@oweunuffin9280]

I'm in Cherokee county ga

[@valerieneal2747]

Baker Creek and Petaluma Seed Bank are my two faves for purchasing seeds😍😍😍

[@RaechelleJ]

Lemon basil omgosh i grow all the time

[@kittencreates2785]

Mr. Peaches!!! I love Baker Creek Seeds. I know I've bought too many already, but I've got raised beds & hope to put in more. Last year I learned al lot from planting too closely so I chalked it up to experience & I'm looking forward to SPRING!!!

[@LangFamilyFarmsLA]

Mornin Patara. I just wanted to let you know that I ordered my heritage seeds from Baker Creek yesterday per your recommendation. We actually decided not to have a winter garden and simply used our efforts in adding compost, quail/rabbit/chicken/turkey manure to the area where our spring garden will be. I hope it pays off :) have a blessed day!

[@Ann-Marielivingonabudget]

I have ordered Bonny Best, Beit Alpha, lime basil, Rainbow Chard, the zinnias and cosmos, along with the sunflowers you recommended in another video. I am trying to find the ones that work for me. I can't wait!

[@TNBushcrafter]

Gainesboro, TN here on 100 acre farm 80 of it wooded. We have gotten to the point we mostly do raised beds and sfg but we do have a 5 acre fenced garden. I've had favas, sugar snap, and snow peas growing since November. They are 4' tall now waiting on warmth to promote blossoms. I grow a lot of medicinal and culinary herbs. I also grow a lot of blood sorrel it's available year round and is a perennial. Our beans our usually greasy grits and kentucky blue wonder. Greasy grit is native to TN. My fav canning tomatoes are san marzanos I love em right off the vine too. Black krims I love the sweetness. We also grow a lot of asian cabbages I can grow them all winter long. I've probably spent over 1k on Baker Creek over the last year.

[@CM-wj9mm]

Very important video. Thank you.

[@kirstenbaker391]

Got my Baker Creek catalog in the mail today! Planning away!

[@tamraanderson9103]

Made your potrost very good and will make it again.

[@marshasmith7137]

The best sweet corn I've ever had is Silver Queen. It will grow well in your area. If you've never tried it it's a real winner.

[@jkboy789]

Try the Oxheart carrot if you have a rocky soil. It's supposed to do great since it's short but wide, but I haven't tried it myself

[@davidfr924]

EXCELLENT recommendations!!! I shall try them out and let you know. (including the carrots)

[@debralynnbailey6527]

March 4, 2022 getting ready thanks

[@lauriekerze3461]

Just ordered, thanks. Couldn't find the Missouri wonders. Going to winter sow in milk jugs in the snow belt. Worked about 80% last year. Thanks for the tip.

[@appalachiashomesteadwithpatara]

Try Kentucky Wonders or Roma II

[@toysintheclosetshop5443]

I'm right there with you on the Tennis Ball lettuce. My favorite.

[@riverunner9978]

Oh please do another baker creek one! Thanks!

[@cbigg_8844]

I've got my beautiful catalog but wasn't sure what to get. Thanks for the suggestions!

[@TammiP2182]

Great video! Saving this one for later!

[@OneBrightLightTN]

Patara, please do an updated favorite seeds video. I’d love to get new recommendations from you

[@chrisb5391]

Thanks for the information. I wanted to dry a small urban garden and you've given me some good ideas. Mr. Peaches is too cute!! Peace and blessings.

[@saddleridge4364]

Pinetree Seeds is also non GMO and they have many heirloom varieties. Thanks , Patara!

[@BrittanyDaine]

Great video. This is my second year ordering from them. I believe that I am getting the rainbow chard. I'll have to check out the others. I learned my lesson about ordering early. Last year I had my eye on a bunch of seeds that were sold out by the time I got around to ordering

[@hadassahhaman7550]

KuRazee lady!!!!😃 I hit the like and subscribe because of....Mr. Peaches. I too purchase seeds from Baker Creek. Love them! I have six elevated raised garden beds (my ERBs) and am growing rainbow carrots, scarlet nantes, Kyoto reds, Parisienne globes, blacks, and ....MANPUKUJI!!! I built a new bed right after ordering the manpukuji carrots from Bakers Creek! In addition to tomatoes, Japanese cucumbers, squash, sweet potatoes etc., I grow lettuce, however, I eat basil on pizza, sandwiches and in soups more than anything and my head exploded!!!! when you mentioned lime basil. Never even heard of it. I'll be ordering it soon. I can not do more tomatoes. Up to my eyeballs with the 6 varieties I have going (I have to stop myself!!!). But you're absolutely correct about the meatiness of that variety, it matters. Love the info, love your energy, love Mr. Peaches! ❤️

[@halvorsyvert1001]

Watched the entire video, liked and commented - Love beautiful/charming ladies in a cap and ponytail; can't help it. Best was Top Gun cap - takes me back to my naval aviation experiences. Great recommendations, great recommender, and great presentation!! 4 years older, but still very sound advice!

[@hlegler]

This is the video I needed to see. Thx!!

[@ethemoon]

love your star redhead cat!! I will check out those seeds

[@riverunner9978]

After I’m done eating peas I go to the ground cherries and raspberries for desert!

[@tfrank1326]

EDIT: Patara, I usually grow Blue Lake Bush but thought I'd order some of the Missouri Wonder. I'm guessing BC doesn't carry them anymore even though it's only been a few months since your video. Don't even see them listed as "out of stock" now on their site. We are still in suburbia and doing what we can but I learned a few years ago that Baker Creek has the best seeds by far of any I've tried. Loved hearing that you use them, too. The germination rate is always so high, even on seeds I've had for several years. On another note, I'm telling you, Patara, I am so jealous. :) Seriously, I can't wait til we can get out of the city and back to the country. Thanks for all the videos and information you share. Love it all!

[@debbiewilliams9612]

it is so hard to believe we are garden planning already!!

[@sud6646]

love snap peas

Thank you very much for a great video

Patara, the amount of rap songs you know makes me so stinking happy lol Thanks for the video. Came back to watch this to get some ideas for October gardening in zone 6 :( maybe not the best idea for me lol

[@halieruppe1710]

Excellent video!

Been planning my garden for a few weeks now and I have to admit I have some nervous excitement to get going!

[@DaelithTN]

Have you ever tried lemon cucumbers? We love them. Need to peel before eating because we find the skin a bit tougher than other cukes. Thanks for the seed suggestions.

[@GreenEyEdBeauty-lu2bj]

Thanks for sharing this is so wonderful can't wait to start planting I'm new at this could you please share the kind of potting soil I need to use for my raised beds to grow these plants I appreciate it thanks
