Here are the seeds I have ordered from Bakers. There are a few I am getting locally and then most of the tomatoes and peppers I always buy in plants from a local grower that specializes in heirlooms.

1-Dishcloth or Luffa gourd
1 - Precoce d'Argenteuil white with rose bud asparagus
1 - Giant of Naples cauliflower
1 - Glory of Enkhuizen cabbage
1 - Atomic Red carrot
1 - Cosmic Purple carrot
1 - Parisian Pickling cukes (really small)
1 - Wando green peas, heat tolerant
1 - Hardy Kiwi no fuzz, purple flesh
1 - Yellow Wonder Wild Strawberry
1 - Fish Pepper
1 - Kiwano (African Horned Cucumber)
1 - Christmas Pole Lima bean
1 - Green Moldovan tomato

I will still get some okra, bell peppers, jalapeno and habanero peppers, maybe some banana peppers, eggplant, squash, zucchini, and green beans. Looking over my list, I realize I've forgotten the corn! Then I will get some artichoke seeds, also.

I will probably have extras of these if anyone is interested!

What have you ordered?

Wow! My little list looks kinda pitiful compared to y'alls.

1-National pickling cucumber
2-Lisbon bunchng onion
1-Green Arrow pea...probably about 200 hundred seeds
1-chives...got a few started in the window
1-sweet potato...ok its from the grocery, but I had to buy it and it's putting out roots lol

I have a lot of seeds for plants and veggies I grow every year saved from last season, but I am sure will be buying some more soon. I have to wait a bit though, because if they are around the house it's hard for me to resist planting something on warm afternoons even when I know it's to early.

I'm afraid to look at what all I have already...I am thinking I might need to lease farm ground from the neighbor!

I picked up a few more things, yesterday!

Our local garden center has a limited selection of Baker Creek Seeds, so I got a pack of the mixed rainbow carrots. I also picked up a pack of Emerald Artichokes. The rest were flowers! row

I got:

Stock
Cup and Saucer Vines
Sensation picotee cosmos
Ruby Hyacinth Beans

I hope all these do well! I've never had luck with the Stock.

I might as well have standing orders for "one of everything" from Sand Hill, Seed Savers, Nourse, Heirloom Roses and Trees of Antiquity. It's a bad habit, which I rationalize as following the Inca method of gardening: plant a few of each, note down the weather, note which survived/did well and which did not. Re-iterate with new varieties next year. Goto step 1 & repeat.

Then there's the seeds from the past two years, which continue to be used until their 4-year anniversary comes up. @ 4 years old, they get pitched on the compost heap en masse and occasionally grow.

Off the top of my head--

Tomatoes: Etoile Blanche D'Anvers, Yellow Pear, Perfect Pale Purple, Red Ruffled, Culstrage, Brandywine, 3 Sisters, German Queen, Amana Orange, Lillian's Yellow, Marvel Striped, Amish paste, Banana paste, Heidi paste, Ropreco paste

Peppers: Fish, Aci sivri, Aji Colorado, Sweet Chocolate bell, Purple Beauty bell, Sunrise Orange bell, Thai hot, Ancho chile, Czech black chile, Ring-O-Fire cayenne, Alma paprika

Eggplant: Japanese pickling, Black, Rosa Bianca, Udmalbet, Snow White

Cabbage family: Red Acre, Red Drumhead, Winningstadt, Copenhagen Market, January King, Blue Curled Scotch kale, Waltham 29 broccoli, Thompson broccoli, Lacinato kale

Squash: Boston Marrow, PA Dutch Crookneck, Cocozelle zucchini, Golden scallopini, Cheyenne bush pumpkin, spaghetti, Luffa gourds, Thelma Sanders

Cukes: Parade, Japanese climbing, Northern pickling and another heirloom variety I got from a co-worker, whose mother brought them from China and grows in her yard. If it works, I'll put it in a seed bank, named after her.

Melons: Collective Farm Woman, Charentais, Amish muskmelon, Green Nutmeg, Blacktail Mountain

Beans: Ideal Market, Hidatsa Shield Figure, three kinds of runner beans, Brockton, French green lentils, sugar snap peas, some other pole beans but I forget what. Leeks (Scotland, Falltime and Blue Solaize) and onions are going in the same beds as the beans.

I ordered a bunch of plants from Richter's, too--odd kinds of lavender, basil, bergamot, thyme, tea herbs, alpine strawberries. And more apples (Nonesuch, Cinnamon Spice, RI Greening, Calville Blanc D'Hiver, another Northern Spy), four more pawpaws (Rebeccas Gold and Sunflower), 2 sweet cherries (only have sour cherries at the moment), gooseberries, grapes (Canadice, Riesling, a few others I don't remember), some viburnums.

Ordered a couple kinds of sweet corn and three kinds of popcorn, too (red white & blue colors). Oh, and tons of stuff for chickens, which could just as easily be for humans: quinoa, amaranth, beetberry, flax, greens mix, calendula. Now that I think about it, is flax difficult to process into fiber? I mean, I'm going to be harvesting it and picking out the seeds for the chickens, I might as well make the most of it. I will accept a yield of exactly one linen hanky/year.

And finally a bunch of flowers: statice, hellebores, datura, snail flower, pansies, johnny jumpups.

I should probably order 3 more blueberries and another couple bundles of strawberries, now that I think about it. And I need to order my rootstock for grafting the neighbor's peaches today, get off my butt.

Rosalind...How do you like the fish peppers? This will be my first year with them, so I am curious. We do a lot of gumbo and chili, so I thought they would be good for that. I haven't heard of the Ring-Of-Fire cayenne...is it as hot as it sounds??

Don't you love Richter's?? Are you buying PawPaw seeds or seedlings? How long til they fruit? That is something I have been debating getting.

We are in the same zone, so let me know if you want to trade anything!

First year I've had 'em too. I guess we'll find out.

We do a lot of gumbo and chili, so I thought they would be good for that. I haven't heard of the Ring-Of-Fire cayenne...is it as hot as it sounds??

Uh...Maybe. Last year, because I am an idiot, I just picked all the hot chili peppers at once and strung them on heavy thread to dry. I did not do anything intelligent, like label them or anything. So now I can't tell which string is cayenne, which is Thai...I'm just throwing 3/pot of chili and hoping for the best.

Are you buying PawPaw seeds or seedlings? How long til they fruit? That is something I have been debating getting.

Seedlings. *sigh* It's gonna take forever! No, it'll be about 3-5 years or thereabouts. My current two Pawpaws were planted in 2007, got a flower last year, hoping that this year or next year they produce just one cluster of fruit so I can get a taste...
