Well I am jumping on the bandwagon a little late here, and you probably already sent your order in, but for anyone else interested in ordering from BC cataloge, I can tell you a few of my fav's I have been ordering over the years!..I have also been a customer of Baker Creek for the past 13 years...so some things have come and gone and come back again...
First Tomatoes: I have ordered so many Heirloom tomatoes over the years, I have quite a few fav's that did well for me, but every year is different in the garden, (Zone 4) and taste is subjective ...Last year I planted over 70+ diff. varieties, not all from BC
Fav. tomatoes BC carries: Kelloggs Breakfast, Black Krim, Blk from Tula, Brandywine, Aunt Ruby's German Green, Old German, Pantano Romanesco, Rose, Jap. Blk Trifele, Amish Paste (the original)..Costoluto Genovese,...(CG was new in garden for 2010)..These are in my garden every year....
For Squash/Pumpkin: Winter..Pennsylvania Dutch Crookneck Squash, Musquee De Provence, Black Futsu and the old standard fav. Waltham-Butternut, and Greek Sweet Red..
I have grown others, but these did the best/tasted best, for our zone 4..
.I tried growing Marina Di Chioggia and Galeux D' Eysines, but I started the seeds late and they never matured fully, but I am going to try again soon..they are too beautiful not to try!!
Summer Squash: Hands down fav. is Zucchino Rampicante...Most years it does really well.
Watermelon: Orangeglo, Cream Of Saskatchewan, always ripen for me. Taste wonderful!
Melons: Sakata's Sweet, Petite Gris De Rennes, Charentais
Other Favorites: Japanese Giant Red Mustard, Nero Di Toscano Cabbage, Blue Podded Blauwschokkers Peas, Poohna Kheera Cucumber, Dragon Tongue Bean, Quadrato D'Asti Rossa and Quadrato D' Asti Giallo Sweet Pepper's...Listada De Gandia, Ping Tung and Roas Bianca Eggplant.. Oh and Purple Tomatillos..Sweet enough to eat fresh off vine..Yummy!
Most of these come back every year..Plus I always add a lot of new ones that come and go..
