I grew Marketmore cucumbers last year and sowed WAY too early for our Scottish climate. As a result I ended up growing them in my full length, south facing living room window with them strung up to my curtain pole 🤣. 18lbs of cucumbers from a couple of plants. My husband thought I was crazy, and we couldn’t shut the curtains for about 5 months 😂🌱
Seed purchases online are like candy to a child. Just. Can’t. Resist!! Love Bakers Creek. Your channel is very approachable and appreciated. Great work, look forward to following you.
Dad grew up in northern Mexico, and he said he’d run into wild cuca melon plants all over the country roads… he said it was a good snack when he found the plants.
Eyes wide when I saw Astronomy Domine! I know this video is two and a half years old but I'll be checking out other videos and hoping to see how it went. Sadly I cannot get seeds for that in the UK, a shame as I would have *loved* to try and grow some not-yellow sweetcorn (and with all the colour options, you can select for specific variations you want). I also love how you have some straightforward varieties among some other more unusual options - always makes sense to have your standard options and then branch out
TatSoi is my new favorite vegetable. Tastes delicious, and I can use it in any of my recipes that call for spinach, cabbage, or kale. It provides my daily vitamins, more calcium than milk, more vitamin C than orange juice. It grew all winter through the snow and gave me fresh greens every day. It even survived our worst ice storm in 11 years. In the spring, it surprised me with bright yellow flowers even before the daffodils bloomed.
try.chinese yard long bean. they withstand the heat way better than other beans. they like the heat. they were my only plants that look happy on those 100 degree plus days.
Baker Creek has a petunia that grows upright. Prolific and my Lab loved the smell of it. I couldn't find my saved seeds and BC was out of them so I planted Zinnias. They are so easy to grow. Thanks for the video.
Like the Borg..."Resistance is futile". 😉 Seeds will serve you well in this year...and for several years into the future. Best wishes, Kate in Olympia, WA. -- 2/10/2020.
I also ordered the Mexican Sour Gherkins and Mountain Mint from Bakers Creek this year. My gherkins had a 100 percent germination rate (started indoors) and now I have too many plants. I’m going to have to give some away. Looking forward to harvesting the Mountain Mint for iced tea. It’s similar to the wild mint tea my Nan would make growing up. Looking forward to seeing the product of the remainder of your seeds.
Kale is very hearty... I planted some Red Russian Kale about three years ago. It made it through two winters, including snow, before I took it up to recoup space in my raised beds earlier this year.
I found Baker Creek online a couple years ago and although I live in Canada I always order twice a year. I order once then while I am waiting for the first order I "forget some stuff" and order twice. Amazing site and amazing video. Nice work man 👍
Growing purple kohlrabi, orach spinach, and over 20 varieties of tomatoes plus peppers herbs and flowers just to name a few. Waiting for these to come in from Johnny Seed Elidia Organic Basil Seed, Salt and Pepper Organic Cucumber Seed, Kalebration Kale Mix Vegetable Seed, Xalbadora Organic Pelleted Lettuce Seed, Red Ace Pelleted (F1) Beet Seed, Gita Bean Seed. Also bok choy and mustard greens. Happy Gardening!
I have my mint forever 😂 they so tough even survive through snow ⛄️ they come back every single year Make sure plant them in pot not in ground, mint are super invasive I grow my oregano 🌿 mint and strawberry 🍓 in pot, they never die out
MelanieLauree mint is great ants 🐜 repellent They grow very fast and well in good condition however in windy 🌬 and freezing 🥶 Long Island 🌴 area of north even mint can’t grow well Sometimes in the winter ❄️ when everything is dead 💀 and nothing grows, saw a tiny bush of mint still green and growing it warms my heart ❤️ I put my mint in pot in the backyard so does oregano 🌿 because I don’t have much spaces and I want to give different variety of plants equal chance to grow I put mint pot next to entrance so ants 🐜 don’t come in the house 🏡 :) Lavender is great masquito repellent, it’s not summer time yet but lavender works amazing on the masquito repel than any other plants 🌱
Tai soldier beans was my favorite pole bean last year. It was definitely not a bush bean like the package said. And it grew vigorously till frost finally got it. It even took several light frost like a champ. If it wasn't for the frost I think it still be kicking
We grew some Suyo Long Japanese Cucumbers last year and they were AMAZING!! Although they vine out like crazy and have to be in a greenhouse as we are situated on the Oregon coast, they were manageable and had the best flavor...could eat the peel and all and never had a single bitter one. Also huge producers. Thanks for the informative videos, I just discovered them!
I actually bought that exact one(Amazing Grey Poppy)this year from Baker Creek. Can't wait to see these come up! I got some Moonflower seeds that came up real fast, just need to give them their home in the garden. Let me know how the peanuts do, because I love them and would like to grow. Thanks! I'm late on your giveaway, is it still going on? I planted Nasturtium too this year, but the King Theodore kind. I'm wondering about the 2021 spring giveaway? Please let me know. Ty Kevin Espirtu @Epic Gardening.
Yeah Baker Creek has received way to much of money this year. Have already stocked up on all the fall and winter planting seeds. Also have really worked on the medicinal garden quite a bit. I am growing celeraic, leeks, Brad's atomic tomatoes, both micro tomatoes Baker Creek sells, about 6 other varieties of tomatoes, filius blue peppers and many other first time plants for me.
This fills me with glee 😀 just got my own seed haul (I'm in Belgium, sh*t's frozen rn), really looking forward to growing strawberry spinach and snake beans among many other things 🤓
Seeds!!! From Baker Creek I would add purple lady baby bok choi. Gorgeous color and grew well in my zone 10a of Bonsall (north county San Diego) area. Also mizuna. Those were probably my favorite cool season this year as they were beautiful and easy to grow. Also add tatsoi to that list. And parris island romaine from San Diego Seed Company. For warm season I am going to grow a ton of summer and winter squash as well as a huge variety of tomatoes. I discovered Johnnys Seeds and they have been germinating beautifully and better than Baker Creek in the same seed trays (same conditions). Johnny’s dunja zucchini are also growing like mad already even though it’s early March. If you care about aesthetics in the garden, which I do, I’d suggest staying away from Brad’s atomic grape tomato (Baker Creek). Vines are scraggly and sad even when producing. Have fun with your seeds! I’m going to go online and buy even more seeds now!
I'm growing tons of Asian vegetables for the first time: Chinese celery, baby bok choy, Chinese broccoli and purple pak choy. All from Baker Creek too! :)
I tried a few different varieties last year (2021) Dragon Tongue beans in 2021 and they are great eating fresh off the plant and very delicious. I also tried Green Zebra tomato. and plan to try both again next year. This year (2022) I am trying a pepper called Habanada. it looks like an habanero which is supposed to be sweet.
I planted the dragon tongue bean too late last year, so I had a small harvest, but oh my! They were beautiful and so sweet raw! I also bought the cucamelon and chinese five color pepper seeds this year. Can't wait to try them 😊
I bought a whole bunch of seeds for this year and also got the Amazing Grey Poppy and Dazzling Blue Kale. I also bought the death spiral hot pepper because it looked gorgeous!
What an interesting channel to grow rarer plants. Certainly someone has to and may be even more variety of seeds will be created. Foods around the world, spices, fragrances, decorations and what an amazing hobby to have. Some medicinal plants and natural pesticide producing plants are interesting to have.
I love bakercreekseeds! I've also got the dazzling blue kale, candy cane zinnias, & cucuamelons. Plus, I'm going to try luffa this year since I didn't try last year! And you know... a million other seeds that won't all fit in the garden. I'm also excited to test out some stuff from Sundial seeds. They're dry-farmed and so better able to tolerate drought. Plus they're from norcal, so local and hopefully thus better adapted to my garden.
Grew some last year very prolific my plants get to big loved the white leaves but they were very hot peppers but it was a different kinda hot then a normal pepper almost like cayenne to me atleast
Kevin.. great collection.. first time I am seeing this kind of different varieties of vegetables/greens/flowers except cucumber the first one. Kindly do videos on all these plants from planting to harvest.. all the best..
Baker Creek is my absolute fav. I love reading about plants' history and origins. Its my first year trying to garden again (helllo CVD) after taking a few years off because Im fairly lazy. I already have some adorable squash seedlings, some tomato seedlings and an established grow box of strawberries. I could have saved myself time and trouble by buying seedlings instead of seeds....but I went to the BC website and could not resist.
Enjoyed the seed reveal man. Well done video and interesting. I’m a sucker for the stories of the heirloom plants as well. I almost got that poppy. Candy cane zinnia is one of the first flowers ever planted here. And a cosmos mix I’ll have to find again...
Love gardeners lol I don’t need any more seeds. Look at all these new seeds! I have reall bad luck with peanuts. So I thought I would try this really finicky peanut.
Thanks for making these informative and engaging videos! I look forward to seeing how these plants look this year. And because of you, I learned I can grow Bok Choy pretty easily. The little baby Bok Choys are already sprouting :)
I hate to admit I'm a gardener because I'm by far not but I'm learning I do have some traits since I get excited and hoard seeds like some girls do with makeup, clothes and shoes
Nice seed haul! Didn't see those peanuts for sale... I bought the Tennessee Red, and they're currently sprouting in homemade paper pots. :) I hope they do well for me here! it's the only thing my husband is interested in the garden. LOL
I’m trying out several of these varieties as well! I got the same peanuts and corn to try, first time growing either :) Love the variety of flowers and ornamentals you’re adding, too! I’m converting my front yard to garden beds this season, and making sure to add lots of flowers and a few ornamentals with that same goal of adding beauty & pollinator zones :) thanks for always putting out such great & entertaining info!
Those little cuke melons have a very fine vine and leaf. Somewhat like a bind weed or morning glory. It wont shade out anything. I tried them one year unknowingly (grabbed some that were in the regular cukes and realized it after I got home) . They grow well and are abundant at first but then fizzle.
We are growing some of the same varieties this year... I am also doing the Black Corn, and Desiree Peas...I will have a challenge ahead of me as I live in Scottsdale. However, I am trying to create a microclimate in my side yard right now with shade cloth (40%), Misters, and Irrigation. I'm also planting some citrus trees as shade trees for future years. I don't expect the peas to do well at all... I'm going to try one this summer which is almost guaranteed to fail (but I had some extra space), but I will try a serious run in winter. The Corn has been doing well so far and we passed 100 this weekend. Impressed with the healthy and rapid growth so far.
Nice collection of seeds! Good luck with them all! For rare/interesting varieties this year, I'm trying: Fuzzy tomatoes (Apricot and Red Boar) - I don't know what benefit hairy skin provides to a tomato, but I couldn't resist!; Heatless Habaneros (Habanada and Zavory varieties); and MOST interestingly the chili peppers sent to space by China. There are 10 varieties, I ordered the Solar Eclipse and will probably try 1-2 others as well. Thanks to this video, I may also try the cucamelon and peanuts for the first time. :)
Black corn is grown near the Andes mountains in South America. In Peru they make some sweet treat with it. I believe that all varieties of corn originated in diverse regions of America, south, central and north. Potatos as well come from South America, from mainly Bolivia. At first Europeans did not know what part of the plants to eat, and over time it became part of their culture. Tomatos and avocados come from the Americas. Watermelons come from Africa, as slaves brought seeds in their hair styles. As new lands were discovered and conquered around the globe, some 500 years ago, many native plants were also taken back home with the conquerors. Among plenty of other things and even some people.
I do not see a huge request for this plant, but do you have any tips for growing collard greens indoors from seeds? I consider them to be super healthy and although I enjoy most green veggies, collard greens are a favorite in our house. Thank you!
looks awesome! i grew the 'filius blue' last year and it was beautiful, also super tasty after i pickled them! look forward to following you along this year
Last year I had an EPIC seed haul but now since moving into an apartment with no outdoor space I'm just living out my fantasy through you. I wanted to buy most of those seeds when I looked through the baker Creek catalog....at work while I was supposed to be productive 😅
Hello from Wisconsin...I have placed a couple orders from Baker Creek so far this season and may have to again after watching your video. I am growing Brad's Atomic Grape tomato, Paul Robeson tomato. Salsify( which I saw on a Charles Dowding's video and I am totally jealous you went to visit him by the way ) Mountain mint , King of the north and Poblano peppers, Rocky top lettuce, Aunt Molly's ground cherries Scarlett Runner beans and variety of radishes after I heard they are delicious roasted :0 ( who knew? ) and more I am sure I have forgotten. This is my 2nd year growing food on a larger scale. I learned to can last year as well and I am hooked. I am developing a edible landscape on my urban setting and am really enjoying the process. The rabbits are a problem so I have lost a few fruit trees this winter because the snow got so deep they got inside my fencing around the trees and chewed the bark off . That was an expensive lesson :( I have my seeds all organized in the case you showed on a past video. Thank your friend for me that was an awesome idea. I have 2 for veggies and one for flowers....is there a support group ??? Tee hee ...Love your videos
I feel your pain, I can never control my seed purchasing, it usually goes like, I'm not going to buy any seed's thus year, oh actually I'm out of my favourite pea variety, I better order them, oh I might as well check to see what else they have new on here, twenty packets later 🤣 it's so funny I'm watching this in Ireland and a lot of the things you're growing I grow as well, the same varieties, been growing cucamelons since 2014 though 😉
@@epicgardening marketmore definitely is the best cucumber variety though, I couldn't not grow it now, but for flavour crystal lemon and crystal Apple slightly edge it
I’m curious about that black corn. Wondering how the nutritional values might differ or the vitamin profile. Love how you’re including more flowers but how some are edible and good pollinators.
Wow I really like your livingroom. So nice and cozy just ready for a black cup of coffee.. And I see the picture of you and Charles in the back. Stylish😊 I wont show you my pile of seeds as I have tooooo many.. they're all in a photoalbum😂
Have you considered selling your own seeds of favorite plants? Besides Baker Creek, do you have other favorite Seed companies? Thank you so much for your videos! I’ve learned a tremendous amount so far & I always look to your channel when I need info. Stay safe!
My parents gave me a copy of The Whole Seed Catalog for Christmas, been looking through it drooling over all the plants I want to grow. Unfortunately, I've got to garden on a tight budget this year and can't be buying too many new seeds, will have to pick just a couple that I really want to try.
@@epicgardening Ended up ordering tabasco pepper, rocky top lettuce mix, blacktail mountain watermelon, green lemon balm, and aunt molly's ground cherry. Thanks for making this video and getting me into gear :)
German striped tomato - a beefsteak - the best ever, in my opinion. It gets huge but not mealy as so many beefsteaks tend to get. Dazzling purple kale I've grown for the first time, and it is beautiful. Did you try Atomic Grape tomato last year? I seem to remember it was one of the seeds in your video. I tried it and it did really poorly, all of the seedlings died, and none of my other ones did, but still gonna try again as it's so pretty.
I started a mess load of Dwarf Tomatoes , Tiny Thom lettuces, and Beans, and edible flowers indoors to give me something to play with a table top DWC I built.
The scarring on peppers is called corking. Some people say corked peppers have a better flavor and/or are hotter (probably an old wives' tale). Man, I really love Baker Creek, but I really hate how large their seed packets are.

Make sure plant them in pot not in ground, mint are super invasive
I grow my oregano 🌿 mint and strawberry 🍓 in pot, they never die out
Shall do!
So invasive and lovely! Previous homeowner planted mint directly in the yard and it has now taken over. Mowing grass/mint smells amazing though!
MelanieLauree mint is great ants 🐜 repellent
They grow very fast and well in good condition however in windy 🌬 and freezing 🥶 Long Island 🌴 area of north even mint can’t grow well

I tried them one year unknowingly (grabbed some that were in the regular cukes and realized it after I got home) . They grow well and are abundant at first but then fizzle.
Ah, glad to hear!
We are growing some of the same varieties this year... I am also doing the Black Corn, and Desiree Peas...I will have a challenge ahead of me as I live in Scottsdale. However, I am trying to create a microclimate in my side yard right now with shade cloth (40%), Misters, and Irrigation. I'm also planting some citrus trees as shade trees for future years. I don't expect the peas to do well at all... I'm going to try one this summer which is almost guaranteed to fail (but I had some extra space), but I will try a serious run in winter. The Corn has been doing well so far and we passed 100 this weekend. Impressed with the healthy and rapid growth so far.
I just bought a ton of seeds from them! They're my favorite seed company! :)
Those dragon beans sound fab! Good luck growing this year. Jen
Thanks Jen!
Nice collection of seeds! Good luck with them all! For rare/interesting varieties this year, I'm trying: Fuzzy tomatoes (Apricot and Red Boar) - I don't know what benefit hairy skin provides to a tomato, but I couldn't resist!; Heatless Habaneros (Habanada and Zavory varieties); and MOST interestingly the chili peppers sent to space by China. There are 10 varieties, I ordered the Solar Eclipse and will probably try 1-2 others as well. Thanks to this video, I may also try the cucamelon and peanuts for the first time. :)
Oh fuzzy tomatoes sound AWESOME
Black corn is grown near the Andes mountains in South America. In Peru they make some sweet treat with it. I believe that all varieties of corn originated in diverse regions of America, south, central and north.
Potatos as well come from South America, from mainly Bolivia. At first Europeans did not know what part of the plants to eat, and over time it became part of their culture. Tomatos and avocados come from the Americas. Watermelons come from Africa, as slaves brought seeds in their hair styles. As new lands were discovered and conquered around the globe, some 500 years ago, many native plants were also taken back home with the conquerors. Among plenty of other things and even some people.
I do not see a huge request for this plant, but do you have any tips for growing collard greens indoors from seeds? I consider them to be super healthy and although I enjoy most green veggies, collard greens are a favorite in our house.
Thank you!
looks awesome! i grew the 'filius blue' last year and it was beautiful, also super tasty after i pickled them! look forward to following you along this year
Glad to hear!
You get a golden ticket for those selections!
:)
If your peanuts don't work out try the peanuts from Fruition Seeds. They were super easy for me!
Right on great mix I over sploged this year and I m Bailey starting my seed collection for between the hops to many goodies great video
Good luck this season!
Yup you convinced me to get some seeds. Just ordered from Baker Creek and Marketmore and Dragons Tongue were in the order LOL
LOL love it
Yeah I already had my main order from pine tree seeds lol. Btw really enjoy your videos
That rainbow pepper looks fun!
Last year I had an EPIC seed haul but now since moving into an apartment with no outdoor space I'm just living out my fantasy through you. I wanted to buy most of those seeds when I looked through the baker Creek catalog....at work while I was supposed to be productive 😅
Happy to be the fantasy!
Join a community garden and buy seeds
@@greenhousefun3235 I've applied for the ones in my area but since there's so few all of them have a huge waiting list.
That Poppy though, gorgeous.
Agreeeeeeeed
Hello from Wisconsin...I have placed a couple orders from Baker Creek so far this season and may have to again after watching your video. I am growing Brad's Atomic Grape tomato, Paul Robeson tomato. Salsify( which I saw on a Charles Dowding's video and I am totally jealous you went to visit him by the way ) Mountain mint , King of the north and Poblano peppers, Rocky top lettuce, Aunt Molly's ground cherries Scarlett Runner beans and variety of radishes after I heard they are delicious roasted :0 ( who knew? ) and more I am sure I have forgotten. This is my 2nd year growing food on a larger scale. I learned to can last year as well and I am hooked. I am developing a edible landscape on my urban setting and am really enjoying the process. The rabbits are a problem so I have lost a few fruit trees this winter because the snow got so deep they got inside my fencing around the trees and chewed the bark off . That was an expensive lesson :( I have my seeds all organized in the case you showed on a past video. Thank your friend for me that was an awesome idea. I have 2 for veggies and one for flowers....is there a support group ??? Tee hee ...Love your videos
Love it - you have quite a great list...good luck with the Brad's Atomic!
Would be cool to see how these came along! :)
I feel your pain, I can never control my seed purchasing, it usually goes like, I'm not going to buy any seed's thus year, oh actually I'm out of my favourite pea variety, I better order them, oh I might as well check to see what else they have new on here, twenty packets later 🤣 it's so funny I'm watching this in Ireland and a lot of the things you're growing I grow as well, the same varieties, been growing cucamelons since 2014 though 😉
Hahaha, SAME Athena
@@epicgardening marketmore definitely is the best cucumber variety though, I couldn't not grow it now, but for flavour crystal lemon and crystal Apple slightly edge it
I’m curious about that black corn. Wondering how the nutritional values might differ or the vitamin profile. Love how you’re including more flowers but how some are edible and good pollinators.
Yeah v. curious about it myself - will keep you posted
Wow I really like your livingroom. So nice and cozy just ready for a black cup of coffee.. And I see the picture of you and Charles in the back. Stylish😊 I wont show you my pile of seeds as I have tooooo many.. they're all in a photoalbum😂
;) good eye
yess, was waiting for this video. I am also growing nasturtiums and cucamelon.
NICE
@@epicgardening :D
And a cherry blossom looks exotic
Ahh, love the choices. Keep up the curiosity.
Thanks for adding more flowers! Sincerely, 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
Can’t wait to see the 2021 update!
I know whose yard im going grocery shopping in. 💜👏🌱
I'll slap your hand away! ;0
Baker creek is awesome! Love Rare Seeds!
They're fantastic!
Have you considered selling your own seeds of favorite plants?
Besides Baker Creek, do you have other favorite Seed companies?
Thank you so much for your videos! I’ve learned a tremendous amount so far & I always look to your channel when I need info.
Stay safe!
Love the Desiree peas grew last year and already sowed here in 8b cucamelon grows well when you just let it be fish pepper is awesome and spicy
Glad to hear on fish pepper! Excited
I'm growing those poppys this year too.
Can you put a video when the plants grow? All the plant and flowers pics great hope you have a great harvest
100%
My parents gave me a copy of The Whole Seed Catalog for Christmas, been looking through it drooling over all the plants I want to grow. Unfortunately, I've got to garden on a tight budget this year and can't be buying too many new seeds, will have to pick just a couple that I really want to try.
Dangerous to open that catalog!
@@epicgardening Ended up ordering tabasco pepper, rocky top lettuce mix, blacktail mountain watermelon, green lemon balm, and aunt molly's ground cherry. Thanks for making this video and getting me into gear :)
The black corn is my favourite corn ever, it is so flavours and sweet. it have a meaty sticky texture. I eat them every year!
i grew the fish pepper last year. very beautiful plant and very prolific
Jusrltnordered mostnof this list. Thanks kevin.
I planted Tennessee red from Baker Creek once 4 years ago and I haven’t had to plant it again ever since. It self seeds every year. Zone 9 b here.
German striped tomato - a beefsteak - the best ever, in my opinion. It gets huge but not mealy as so many beefsteaks tend to get. Dazzling purple kale I've grown for the first time, and it is beautiful. Did you try Atomic Grape tomato last year? I seem to remember it was one of the seeds in your video. I tried it and it did really poorly, all of the seedlings died, and none of my other ones did, but still gonna try again as it's so pretty.
Will add it to the list! I've done atomic grape before, very hard to grow in my opinion but they looked amazing
I started a mess load of Dwarf Tomatoes , Tiny Thom lettuces, and Beans, and edible flowers indoors to give me something to play with a table top DWC I built.
Love this!
The racoons are going to love the corn....hopefully there is a pond nearby .....they like to wash up before anialation....
Astrology corn...thats right up my alley lmao
The scarring on peppers is called corking. Some people say corked peppers have a better flavor and/or are hotter (probably an old wives' tale).
Man, I really love Baker Creek, but I really hate how large their seed packets are.
Yup corking! Anecdotally i can confirm flavor
Question: Are we able to successfully germinate seeds in summer in preparation for spring 2021? Will they be able to mature throughout winter?
