About OFF GRID with DOUG and STACY:
We moved to our 11 acres in 2011 from a large city in the Midwest with zero carpentry and farming skills. We live with no solar / wind power / public water or well. We share our adventure to a sustainable life, growing our own food from vegetables to meat. We post videos DAILY and they range from HOW TO to EVERYDAY LIFE and NUTRITION on the off grid homestead. We were city folks just like you probably and wanted to enjoy life and have more control over our food. We share food recipes as well as natural remedies.

[@jkhenderson1]

We bought all our seeds from Baker Creek this year. I probably planted my watermelon late but it's trying to grow. Only time will tell if it grows. I realize it's probably too late though. Will try again for sure next year.

[@tdubbs934]

I am growing 25 varieties this year. I have 45 varieties in seed. Im growing orange,yellow, white and red. Seeded and unseeded. All organic. Im in CT. So excited!

[@AliBaba-vx6ps]

You should make a video, I'm sure all of us would enjoy learning about the different varieties. Ik I would

[@user-tk1xd9js1z]

Wonderful. Hope you make a video. 👍

[@RootsandRefugeFarm]

And here I thought I was done buying seeds! I need to try Orangeglo to be sure!

In my area it's crimson sweet , up to 5 lbs , the best

[@OneBrightLightTN]

Watched this video with my 5 yo who loves watermelon.......now we will be making a trip to the farmers market to pick up some watermelon today!

[@rhondacross4075]

Just watched your live questions video. I am in my sixties and want to go off grid. So many have told me...you are to old! No I'm not! I'm healthy and very active, so you two helped me to not give up on my plans to go off grid! Thanks! I have learned so much from you!

[@jimclaire7996]

WOW, what a very thoughtful video to make. The Baker Creek Company are nice folks to deal with. Thanks for sharing. God bless America.

[@canvids1]

Living here in Canada I had no idea there were so many kinds of watermelon.

[@debbie2663]

Oh I love watermelon. I wish I could have tried those with y’all! I love a super sweet and crisp watermelon.

[@timothybrown7779]

Good morning Doug & Stacy and all my fellow Homestead Homies!!! Have a Blessed Day !,From San Antonio

[@TheETBubba]

My wife and I have been watching your videos for a couple of months now, storing up those nuggets for when we can move to our 40 acres in Northeast Texas. We especially love your videos with Shannon and Baker Creek, such a wealth of information.

[@melissamike6959]

i have grown the orange glow, and my kids LOVED it. They said it had the best flavor of any watermelon they had ever tried.

[@TXDHC]

My Grandpa grew the best watermelons in his sandy loam soil of lower Delaware. He use to take me out in the garden, pull out his pocket knife and cut a watermelon of the vine. Then tell me we were only going to eat the very best part...the heart. We'd stand there and eat the heart and then he'd throw the rest in his "trash" pile which I now know was his compost. I treasure my beautiful heritage of growers!!!

[@ellenchappell1574]

How fun, I love watermelon. Who knew there were so many varieties?

[@dr.froghopper6711]

A bazillion.... I’m SO glad I took college calculus so I can understand the complexities of such numbers! Great information! Thanks y’all! Blessings!

[@marielefebvre5891]

I love this video. I order from Bakers Creek and I love the magazine pictures, but this video was way more helpful in visualizing what will do well in my garden and what seeds I will order next year. Please do more like this! Great job!

[@maryhardy1137]

I love watermelon. My husband hates it. I now want to grow the Ice box and road island red. Got to order me seeds for next year.

[@AlmostHomestead]

That must have been tough operating that camera with all of that wonderful watermelon being tasted in front of you. Always good to see Shannon with you guys on your videos.

[@ADifferentChickFarmandOrchard]

We absolutely love our 15 watermelon varieties.

[@beaverrick9789]

Thank you Shannon, Always good to see you.

[@stephaniestensvold]

The Golden Royal is the best tasting watermelon I have ever had! Thank you Baker Creek!

[@HOMESTEADHEART]

This was Awesome!!!! We Are Making A List & Checking It Twice!! A new variety of Watermelon is coming to Town!😁

[@LindenRanch]

My mouth is watering for melon. Just picked one up from the local fruit stand here in the California Central Valley and have it chilling now. Will definitely be growing some heirlooms next spring since I have unlimited growing space now.

[@jodiecarr9750]

I never knew there were so many different watermelons. Great video!

[@dragonscapes24]

[@Sheenasalesthriftytreasures]

I enjoyed this so much, thank you and thank you Bakers creek

[@missmartpants2269]

This was great!

[@changarookitty6920]

I will ask my Aunt if she's heard of Art Combe. Her grandfather was John James Thompson, who came over from Ireland as a young boy and made his way to Arizona in the mid 1800s, and was the FIRST white settler in Oak Creek Canyon, Arizona. He homesteaded 300 acres that became known as Indian Gardens. In some indian ruins on their property the Thompson family found some ancient baskets with seeds that the archeologists said were older than 200 years old. My Aunt Ellen planted some corn seeds to see if they would still grow after being stored for so long. They did grow some very interesting corn, and had entered it into the county fair with the story about the seeds. Well, some low life thief stole all the ears of corn and the ribbons they had earned right off the display table! When J.J. Thompson found the land, he found that there were vegetables and fruits still growing after the Calvary moved the Indians to a reservation, so he was able to continue growing those ancient crops for his future family. Cool Expo!

I'm eager to start growing what's called the o'odham watermelon. It's native to Southern Arizona, so it should grow well in hot, arid climates.👍

[@BigJon358]

Good video.

Love your watermelons guys. Want to get my hands on those purple sweet potatoes.
