I’ve only tried the Chinese red meat radish (watermelon radish) and dragon tongue beans.... and love them both! Already have seeds for Ch. pink celery & python snake beans. Can’t wait to plant these next season, and to try all the others!
👍️
glad to hear you liked a few of Jeres faves :D
I have tried to order the python snake bean two years in a row but they have been sold out.
Thanks
@@gardengirl7226 I just ordered some from Kitazawa Seed company. Hope that helps.
I just copied that list, and now I am waiting on my catalog to dig in. Can't wait for the catalog to arrive!!
If I order any more seeds my family is going to do an intervention. Nevertheless, I'm definitely ordering the red meat radish if it's in stock!
Wow! Jere Gettle's 12 faves look like beautiful additions to any garden. Keep your TH-cam voiceover/announcer too! She makes your list of 12 favourites sound even more sumptuous! You can count on my order next season!
I grew the Chinese Python Snake Bean -- it was fun to see them grow - and they grow VERY QUICKLY! You can literally see the difference in a day or two's growth. Incredible! BUT you want to eat them when they are small -- when they are large, they are very fibrous and you spend half of your time taking the fibers out of your mouth. It's like eating a large mouthful of very tough, stringy celery. You can't chew them up, so they end up as just a big ball of fibers in your mouth. -- The seeds are rather large and there are several in each bean - when you cut the bean pod into pieces for cooking, you'll see that it resembles a loofa. It's a very interesting plant. I don't know if I'll grow it again next year, but once you buy 1 packet of seeds, you'll never need to buy another one because you'll have lots of seeds from just one plant.
Wow thanks for the honest experienced review. Appreciated because I already have an edible gourd called Cucuzza /Gagootz. I love it and even though it needs to be eaten small to taste best it never gets stringy like my luffas, but its fat and not as long as these on the video. You saved me a year of growing this one instead of my personal favorites. Best of wishes to your gardening!
I love the purple lady pok choy
Wow! Can’t wait to try some of those!
I grew the red noodle beans this year...they did great!! I will plant these again!!
Such Beautiful vegetables. Thanks for the video. Can't wait to plant some of these gems in my garden next season
Wonderful video! Thanks for sharing.
Love, LOVE, the Dragon tongue beans! I will have to try some of these other things!
Me to my favorite 😋
They are so delicious!
Try pickling some! 😋😋😋
Grew pink celery, celtuce, purple bok choy, and the noodle beans this season. The purple bok choy is probably going to be our favorite from this list - grew Shanghai green bok choy in the spring and it was beautiful as well.
Ive tried about half of those. Time to add more to my list
I have planted this year the pink celery ,dragon tongue and purple baby pac choi
My wife of 41 years is Chinese Filipino so I have grown many Asian veggies that I never heard of until I met her.
I have to say my introduction to Asian veggies was a neighbor who had brought home a Korean bride. She was the nicest lady about teaching us her veggies and how to make kimchee.
And then my one sister in law married a very nice half Japanese man who shared his mom with us. She likes to tell people she's "Full on Japanese! " and ive learned even more. Being able to now find these lively and totally delicious veggies here in the US is fantastic.
The only veg I cant find that was a favorite and I've only had a few times is water spinach. But I know why. If it got loose in the southern waterways it could be very invasive. I did find a couple seed places have it and im up north so I could get it but its banned in many states.
I am growing Red Mountain Celtuce and Chinese Pink Celery in my garden this year. Celtuce leaves are delicious! I can't wait for the stems to get bigger. I will grow Kyoto Red Carrot next year.
Nice! Img currently growing 9 of 12! All but meat radish, carrot, python snake
I tried 3 of them! All delicious!
I grow Tatsoi, Yod Fah Chinese broccoli, and purple Bok Choy. Highly recommend!!
Chandra White I’m growing yod fah this year but it is extremely pungent, like wild rocket. That’s not how it’s described so I was wondering if you have experienced that issue?
@@Just-Nikki it might be the temperature (high temperature) and water issue (lacking water). Try it in a cooler season
I love these type of random videos.
I love seed histories! ty for seed stories season 0ne ty fo all the videos you guys, EVERYONE'S favoerite seed house in the world are doing!
Thank you! So glad you are enjoying them!
I need all!
Good video idealistic plants to purchase.
I eat the stems of our ridiculously lanky black seeded simpsons when they start to bolt. Some are too fibrous already but the ones that aren’t are delicious. I peel the outside off and chop into rounds. Nutty flavor sort of like more mild broccoli stem. Wonderful in lasagna or stir fry
I grew celtuce early last spring---it stood up extremely well to the damp, cold spring we had in WA, it is also one of the most beautiful crops I have ever grown, but the taste was just OK, I don't plan to give it the space it needs this coming season.
I forgot I'd ordered it and im going to shoot for fall plantings as it said it will do better here in fall.
I love to stirfry veggies and im looking forward to trying it.
@@Emeraldwitch30 the whole plant is edible including the leaves in a salad but rather bland to my taste, then again I prefer mustard greens and cabbage, my advice, peel the stem before tasting it, the exterior is EXTREMELY bitter.
@@omfug7148 thank you for your advice. At least the bitter outside doesn't seem to bother the chickens i hope as they love any of my lettuce that goes bitter on me.
I was told by my Korean neighbor(I sure miss her. They retired to Arizona) that while it van be unpleasant to eat bitter things are very good for your body. Supposed to help liver functions, another jewel of wisdom she gave me was about green corn silks. She and I were talking about girl problems one day and I mentioned UTI(urinary tract infections) were just awful and how I hated having to get medications for them, she said that for many different urinary issues that they make tea out of green corn silk adding mint or chamomile to make it taste better but one heaping tablespoon of silks in 3 cups of water simmered for anout 15 minutes then try to drink as much as you can. Taken at first sign of UTI it can change the ph of your urine(much like cranberry) and burn out the bacteria and keep it flushed out.
It was summer and I had nothing to lose and tried it. It works. I do know when to go to the dr if its not but I haven't had a uti needing antibiotics in 6 years.
She said it works for men or children who are up too much at night too but they need to drink it in late afternoon to help empty the bladder more fully so less trips or night time accidents.
I do recommend googlibg it as there are some medications you can't mix it with(its a natural blood thinner) but that it has all types of minerals and even vitamin K.
Oops got carried away again. Have a great night. 🥰
Chinese snake bean are called snake gourds in India and grown as vegetables. Here in the US you can find those in any Indian grocery stores.
Yeah I was a bit confused when they called them beans rather than gourds.
I hope if you guys ever decide to have a outside the Us store or warehouse that you open one in some EU country so us europeans can buy these beautiful veggies and other from your website
I am harvesting Tatsoi right now (in PA), and have sowed Purple Lady Bok Choy and Cylindra Beets (not in this video). I love trying new vegetables in my very small garden and containers. Please offer some ways (recipes) to use these unusual vegetable varieties.
Thank you for the great suggestion! We do feature some recipes on our website, rareseeds.com. There are links at the top of every variety page, but we are always interested in finding new and novel ways of preparing these wonderful vegetables.
If this video would be called 8 purple crops you can grow would get much more views :) Love the colors!!!
Awesome list of interesting and healthy veggies. I did not know most of these varieties!
I'll add some of them into the garden for sure.
Thank you!
Does it make sense to order seeds from your shop if I live in Europe?
yes you can, just please read the international section of our ordering policy here first please! ---> www.rareseeds.com/ordering-info
My favorite lettuce is hard to find. It is a loose leaf variety called "Prizehead lettuce". It is very sweet, I like to mix it with black seed simpson and butter head bib lettuce.
Cliff Mays that’s one of my favorites. It produced through my 6a winter in a low tunnel and is still going!
do you sell these as a group of packets? i woud like ta grow / try them in 2020,, thank ya fer the videos
I would also like to know this. Seems like a natural fit. I would snap that up, if so....
@@promet Me too!
The "Jere's Favorites Collection" seems pretty Marketable to me as well.Hope someon e in PR at Baker Creek is reading the comments!
Add me to this group as well. It would be a fantastic bundle.
Was going to suggest the same thing.
I grew dragon tounge this year. Side by side with my green beans it was slightly juicier, sweeter, and tangier than the green beans. I prefer the more subtle and savory nonsour green beans. Won't be growing dragons tounge again even though they look neat.
It is futile to resist ordering.
Oh my I had to order more bok choi as as my seeds finally just got too old.
So just this past weekend I ordered the purple lady and the Shanghai green along with Chirimen hakusai cabbage and a spinach called monstrueux de viroflay for my new NFT hydroponics. And they sent me the pink celery as a free gift! I had ordered the Utah celery instead of the pink celery and I regretted not sneaking it in and its like the person who picked my order read my mind!
Thanks so much for having such beautiful varieties to choose from
But can you find any opalka tomato seeds? I ordered from you back in 2008 and kept saving and saving them but have misplaced my seeds. I hope I find them as I did find the purple Russians tomato seeds last year and coaxed 8 plants to sprout.
But thanks for all the hard work!
Stay tuned. I believe we have the Opalka tomatoes on our radar once again. :)
@@RareSeedsBC yay! It holds a tender place in my heart as it was the first heirloom tomato I ever bought.
I so miss the forum yall had. I dig my gardens was a great place to hang out and share info with other like minded people.
If any other idiggers read this Emerald says hello and I hope yall doing great!
I've got all of them except the Chinese dragon bean and the snake bean which I'll try next season..seem Jared and I have like likes.
Offer 20% off if you buy this entire list of seeds! 👌👌👌🏿👌🏽👌👌🏽👌🏿👌🏽👌👌🏽👌🏿
I just ordered a bunch of seeds from you guys this morning! I wanted the snake beans, but they've been sold out for a while now! Is there any way to get notified when they come back into the shop?
Hi, yes! There's a box on the right-hand side of the product page where you can enter your email address for a notification when the out-of-stock seeds become available again. Hope that's helpful.
RareSeeds thank you so much! I'll do that now.
Do you have recipes? I love to grow, but need help encorporating into meals. Thank you!
Here is a recipe page from our website! -> www.rareseeds.com/recipes
I order the Kyoto Red carrots from you 3 years ago. I tried all seasons but the result is always the same: small, thin ad very hard tastless carrots. My soil is perfect for carrots being sandy with a lot of very decomposed organic matter. I also bought your Cosmic Purple and this one is fantastic here
Kyoto tends to do best for fall/winter plantings, did you plant then or in spring?
@@RareSeedsBC I tried spring and fall and none worked good. The fall/winter was even worse than the spring/summer.
@@Atimatimukti where are you growing and are you using hoophouse/greenhouse or any winter protection? This is a Fall/winter Japanese type so growing best when coming on in the Fall/winter but mild winter weather. Most people strike this balance with a greenhouse if they don't have mild winter weather.
@@RareSeedsBC thank for answering :-). I live in the north of Portugal on a very temperate climate. I grow avocados, cherimoya, mangos and macadamias and also all the temperate fruits. Temps can go to 0º C /32ºF but only for a few hours and only 2 or 3 days in winter. Very nice weather here :-). Some other portuguese varieties of carrots like the purple Pau Roxo do not grow here wich is strange because your Cosmic Purple (very similar) is fantastic here.
@@Atimatimukti hmmm that is a bit odd, how hot is the late Summer/Fall? Perhaps the roots are struggling with heat?
I need the list so I can copy and paste!
See below: 12. Chinese Pink Celery, 11. Chinese Red Meat Radish, 10. Red of Florence Onion, 9. Celtuce, 8. Okinawa Purple Sweet Potato, 7. Chinese Red Noodle Bean, 6. Purple Lady Bok Choy, 5. Tatsoi, 4. Dragon Tongue Bean, 3. Yod Fah Chinese Broccoli, 2. Kyoto Red Carrot, 1. Chinese Python Snake Bean
See my reply to Susie Handon's post. It includes not only the item, but the catalog number and price. BAKER CREEK really does a good job. Best wishes from Kate in Olympia, WA
It seems a few people beat us to the punch! :)
I've tried to grow #4, #9 and #12. Every one of them failed miserably. ( and 12 pretty much failed to germinate, and #4 was overwhelmed by other pole beans in my Earthbox.
Oh no! :( where are you located? and we do have a two year guarantee on those seeds! if you contact us via phone, email or facebook we can get it taken care of for you!
Are dragon beans eaten like a green bean or like a pinto bean? Do I wait till it dries or go for fresh?
Both work. I like the grean bean verson more tho. But if u fall behind on the harvest and a few pods dry out don't stress it
I prefer them raw, they taste amazing.
Its a dual purpose variety, that can be used for both! just harvest young for green beans! :)
i will grow someday
how about putting a link to these veggies in your show notes.

Thanks so much! :)
Hoping Jere is healing. Great selection.
Thank you for your kind words, Jere is healing swiftly :)
@@RareSeedsBC awesome!
I grew Red florence onion once, it is really strong flavoured, it's not nice at all and wont grow it again.
2:48 now i see it the other one looked gothic
Hmm other than the carrots, they are either Chinese or purple. Just an observation.
yes, we do have an affinity for purple produce and we have really enjoyed growing and cooking with some of the lesser known Asian crops!
Almost everything on this list is red or purple !!!
Most are very high water users.
Chinese vegetables represent!
1st!!!
What wasn't Chinese or Japanese?
Jelly melon (Africa) and the red onion (Italy)
im sure the rodents will enjoy these more than i ever will...
A hot pepper based spray often works wonders to keep critters away!
You don’t sell Okinawa purple potato but you add it to the video! False advertising!! You need to edit the content or sell them!
We do usually carry okinawa purple and/or molokai purple, its only listed on the website for spring in the live plant section, as we only do ship and sell live plants in spring! :)
I’ll check back again this spring because it wasn’t selling last year!
