- It's no secret that I am an heirloom seed snob and that I love seeds (especially tomatoes). So I set myself an impossible task to pick my top 10 seeds from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds! No small task when you have over 200 varieties of seeds so it is quite possible that I am a wee bit of a #seedaddict.

A bee airport, I love that...made me smile🙂🙂
They really are…mine just started blooming again and I legit walked by today and thought “Airport is open for business!” 😬
You should totally do top 10 heirloom seeds for the indoor planters!
Amazing idea! I’ll add that to the list. Thank you so much for the suggestion!
@@The_IndoorGardener I still would love to see this video!
I just came to the comments to say this lol specially for aerogarden
yes yes yes, brand new to indoor hydro gardening. picking up three aerogardens today in a fb package deal. Have two toddlers, looking to get them more hands on!
🍈 10:50
Yes indeed those cantaloupe are soooo delicious! I grew up eating them 😋 I definitely will consider getting those seeds
So good!
I don't think I can do without my giant oxheart tomatoes. They are an all around good for everything
Which oxhearts do you like best? I was given some Hungarian Heart seeds I was hoping to try
@The Indoor Gardener I have regular oxheart tomatoes from my husband's late grandmother and someone gifted me the giant oxheart. That's all I know.
@@serresaschrock2359 How special to have some passed down in your family!
I need that butter lettuce and the red bean. I did purchase the Alabama blackeyed butter bean. Im excited about that one
Buttercrunch lettuce is a game changer!
Yay, just planted Uzbek carrots About a week ago, good to hear some feedback about them. Love the irony of a massive cup saying enjoy the little things. Thanks for the recommendations, especially the tomatoes!!!
It is my second favourite cup! I have another one that says the same thing but it’s not quite so extra LOL. Glad you found the video helpful I’ll be doing a seed haul video soon of ALLLLLL the new seeds I got for this year. I honestly have no idea where I am going to put them all but that’s not the point LOL
@@The_IndoorGardener lol, I will follow and watch, very interested! I love baker creek, and am also a wanna be farmer stuck in a more urban setting (for now) using lots of pots to feed my growing passion, I haven’t been able to plant half of what I bought over the last two years, and just added 8 more things to my cart any way, I’m pitiful 😂
@@Adam5576 You and me both...I have enough seeds for when I have a homestead. But for now I have a suburban backyard and more seeds in the mail! I even went and ordered 3 GreenStalks and a new metal raised bed to give myself more room to grow. Not to mention the indoor hydroponic systems I have AAAAAAND I have my eye on a grow tent for the basement 🤦
This video is right on time. Just bought several variety of seeds from Baker Creek didnt think it was legit site but now I'm reassured. Typed in black strawberry tomatoes and this video popped up.
Baker Creek is my go-to seed site!
If you want a good pole bean recommendation try the tai soldier beans. They are a vigorous grower. If it wasn't for them being frost tender I bet they would grow like a perennial. They say bush habit but they definitely need a bit of support. I grew them on an arched trellis and they took over. I thought they were gonna grow more like a bush so I put like six seeds in they all germinated and took off.
Awesome! I’ll check them out. I had one bush bean go rogue last year and grew over my arbour 😂
I’ve heard the Tai Soldier beans are good too! I need to try them out
@@JustineMcGuire I haven’t heard of those I’ll need to check them out! I’m excited to try winged beans this year!
Your new sweet pepper needs to be Ajvarski, pronounced Ayvarski! It’s so sweet and juicy, and a beautiful large crimson!
I buy chocolate Habanero chili seeds from Baker every year, and I like them because they have a good germination. I also save seeds from the chilies that I grow.
If you eat these chilies, you will not need coffee - I never drink it myself.
I love this! I’ve been a loyal customer since 2014!! I’m going to have to note down some of your selections, those onions look fab! I am growing quite a few of these including the Charentais.
Charentais are my fave! Loved growing them hydroponically it was a fun experiment
I will be trying the charentais melon!
Awesome Holly!!! I don't think you will be disappointed I grow it every year.
Try wrapping some tulle netting around the stem or even over the head of the sunflower. It lets in sunlght and airflow but the animals don't like to touch it. I find it very cheap on eBay. Hope it helps.
I have never heard that idea before! Thanks I’ll give it a try!
You should try Seminole tomatoes.
Would love to learn and see more about your indoor garden as well :) I love baker creek seeds. Nasturdium is definatly on my list every year since it is my favorite edible plant 💚 I also enjoy the butter lettuce a lot since I grew up in Germany with it. Its over priced in stores here in the US and wrapped in lots of plastic. I love that it thrives in winter very well. An additional seed that I love is the Jibai cucumbers since I love to eat the skin and it's super thin. :) I enjoyed your tips, thank you :) and Ill definatly will try the melons you suggested and the beans 😁
I swore wasn't gonna miss planting a spring garden. Like you...soo many choices and good seed at Baker Creek. Will be trying a few of your favs later on.
Awesome! What are some of your BC faves?
@@The_IndoorGardener The argentine squash has impressed me with its vigor!
I am trying the Tihatian butter nut squash. It's 110 days, but likes heat and 20lb fruit
@@CrackerFL Cool! I hadn’t heard of those. I am trying the zappalito de tronco this year. I love saving some space each year to try out new varieties!
I absolutely love Baker creek seeds! My annual order just arrived and I'm so excited!! I haven't tried most of your haul, I'll have to add some to my next order 😁
Amazing! What did you get in your order? They have so much variety, it’s always exciting!
My kids and I don’t like tomatoes but the white current cherry tomatoes from baker creek were so good we all ate them while in the garden. They never made it in the house. It’s an indeterminate variety though.
Glad you found a variety you guys like! Grocery store tomatoes are pretty boring. My husband hates tomatoes and he likes the sunrise bumblebee and also we just discovered Amethyst Jewel from Wild Boar Farms. Sungold is another one people rave about, I am trying it out for the first time this year.
We are twins. Mushroom basket is FANTASTIC. It's so early for a large mater! Not my fav flavor wise though, but it's good. Charentais is life changing....omg. Love poblano, trying Blot for the first time this coming season. Sunrise Bumblebee? Gotta try the other Fred Hempel maters. Sunrise was my favorite, then I tried the Tiger series and the Agi red. Pink tiger...yum. Great video!!
I tried Lucky Tiger last year and its a new fave for sure. I have so many new tomatoes and other seeds to try this season. I may or may not have bought 80 new seed varieties from Baker Creek this winter... Now to find I way to plant them all! I'll have to check out the Agi red and pink tiger, thanks for suggesting some new varieties! Happy gardening!
@@The_IndoorGardener yeah, I may or may not have a seed hoarding "problem". I am planting at least 50 tomato plants in my garden, I have room for 40. Also have a suburban garden. We are converting another section of lawn to garden to make room for *cough* number of melon and squash vines. I'll def be checking back and seeing how your season is going. Happy gardening to you too!
@@8thcelisabeth Twinsies for sure 😂 I planted 50 tomato plants a few years ago in a space that should hold about 20! I have expanded the garden into the front yard and down the side of the house. Planing to add a shiitake mushroom log on the other side and I bought 3 Greenstalks and a new raised metal bed for the backyard.
Is that a Fafagrass garden behind you? Thanks for the recommendations. I am going into all hydroponics and indoor growing season now.
It’s one of the Personal Rise Gardens 😬 Love indoor season and the fact that it means you can grow year round! I’m about to plant some cauliflower in my Family Rise Garden
Sooo fun!! I’m so excited for my baker creek seed order!
Awesome!!! I’m waiting for the new big catalogue to come out so I can pick out all my seeds for next year!!! What did you get?
@@The_IndoorGardener The mushroom basket looked really good so I’ll do that one, as well as the sunrise bumblebee tomato. Also gonna try the charentai, blue curled scotch kale, marketmore cucumber, and some scarlet goji berry seeds. Why are seeds so addicting LOL!
@@authenticalyssa LOL, I’m well over 300 varieties in my own collection!!! It’s amazing to me the vast varieties that exist that unless you start learning about heirloom seeds you will NEVER be exposed to! #plantnerd
@@The_IndoorGardener So true! I’ll check out your other videos!
Check out the one where I organize my seeds…I mention a bunch in there th-cam.com/video/jeDYLEXhrAM/w-d-xo.html
Great video! Which of these are Aerogarden Harvest friendly?
Hi! You could grow the butter crunch lettuce, red swan bush bean and nasturtiums no problem. You should be able to grow the poblano and blot peppers as well you will just need to top them so they don’t get too tall. Peppers also take a lot of space so you wouldn’t want to plant more than one and I would be keeping a lot of the other spaces empty (with the holes covered as you don’t want algae!). With a LOT of intervention you COULD grow a charentais melon. I grew one in my aerogarden farm but I had to hand pollinate it which is a lot of work but it was fun! Hope that helps!

@@The_IndoorGardener Thank you!
I love their seeds, i love gardening and how come you are so cute?
Over 200 seeds! ☠️😫❣️❣️😊
I’m well over 500 now with 3 more orders in the mail!!!!
@@The_IndoorGardener 😎
Hello was wondering when do you seed the melons for outside growing?
All my research says the mushroom basket is actually indeterminate not determinate.
Hi Simone, I went back and looked and it mentions it is a short indeterminate which is hilarious! I have found that it grows like a determinate, thus my mistake in classification :) Mine never grow much more than 4 feet and seem to set most of their fruit at the same time in determinate fashion. But no matter what type it is, it is definitely delicious! How you grown it before?
Have you tried their white tomatoes yet? I have 2 of them growing now that are almost ready to start picking.
I got some of the white tomesol seeds as a free seeds one time but I haven’t grown it yet. I have heard they are more smoky like a purple Cherokee. Let me know how they taste when you do try them!!!!
Go butter crunch it's the shit for burgers
I'm a city boy who wishes he was a country girl who lives in the berbs.
This made me laugh out loud. Haha love it
Get a f ing battery for your smoke alarm! Really!
That was my canary…
Quit waving the packet while talking. Very disturbing.
