Never knew this existed thank you .
Thanks for sharing John I appreciate you.
love your channel dude thank you for so much enriching information and your service to humanity
Oh wow this is really live
Hi John
Could you do episode on cover crops?
I've been getting seeds from them for a handful of years now. Everything from Moonflowers to Dragon Tongue Beans. They are a really awesome company, and I've always had good germination rate too! I always have their catalog sent to me to help plan the garden. I enjoy growing things you can't get at the store. I'm excited that they are doing live plants too! Thanks for giving them some love and attention, they deserve it!! ❤
Thanks for showing the behind the scenes. Lucky you for getting free seeds! I did not realize they are doing live plants now. While I love B.C., my germination rate for 2023 seeds has not been great…I'm talking all the way down to 20% ( 1 out of 5 grew…this happened for at least 3 varietiesI planted). I had 90-100% germination with MI Gardener and Botanical Interests this year. This is for seeds started inside. I have yet to do my direct sow and am hoping for better rates then! That being said, don't ask me how many BC seed packs I have..lol :). Thanks for showing the inside scoop!
I was so bummed! 😞 I finally got to their store after years of wanting to go, but our vacation plans were when the lock down first started, so they were closed. 😢 😭
Thank You! I've been ordering from Baker Creek for a few years and I always have good luck with the seeds. The catalog is gorgeous and gives me so many ideas. The tour was amazing! Actually, I'm starting my order for live plants right now. Excellent.
Now please do cannabis seed dealers.
Loved everything I've recieved from Baker so far! Great video!
I love Baker Creek Rare Seeds. Germination rate is good. Thanks for the behind the scenes video, John!
Is there something in Canada for good seed like these
I have been getting seeds from them for a while! I like the idea that even a single packet is shipped free — though I always end up buying several at a time 🙂 Thanks for the tour!
👍🏾
This a fantastic video. I just now order some longevity spinich.
I order from Baker Creek often
Got my pink lemonade blueberry top hat blueberry and fall gold raspberries absolutely amazing plants .
I ordered the hibiscus today. I had ordered sweet potatoes before but they did not do well.
Ty excellent video
I went to the web site not even 6 hours after your video posted and looked many things you were talking about were sold out, bummer. Thank you for the tip though I havent ordered from them yet but I am going to.
Great video! I order from them also😊!
Thanks so much Bro John!
Big Heads Up! The auroras may begin soon. These precede The Three Days of Darkness, which I believe occurs during Passover, could be just around the corner though I don't think we recon time correctly so it could run a half month lste.
Yeah, they should always include shipping in the price!
So excited to check these out! I have just been so frustrated because I tried some different seed sources this year and the germination rates have not been very good at all. So now I will have to get some live plants because those seeds did not produce and those live plants look good.
Thank you John great to see the behind the scene processes at Baker Creek😊😊😊
Was blue turmeric developed by Smurfs?
I love Baker Creek. I buy their seeds more than any other provider.
Many thanks for the tour and quality info about BCF. I'll be ordering some seeds today thanks to you!
I just received my shipment of seeds. I had to go back and order a few live plants. I can't wait to receive them.
have u ever made a vid on hats for gardening/collecting wild plants?
i find that nicer than having to resort to chemicals (on not-so-strong-sun days) 🤔
what to look out for (material, size and whatnot etc) 🤔
Does Baker Creek employ illegal immigrants?
probably should republish and blur out that person’s address on the label you showed
