[Pepsicarwash]

Have you tried Burpee?

[SeedsandShovels]

I really enjoy Gardener's Alive catalog and seeds. I just ordered with my $25 off coupon, great deal! Thanks for the wonderful review.

[TheRunningarden]

if have need checked out Johnny Selected Seeds, you should take a looks. Lots of seeds, and a tone of information! Baker Creek is tops!

[PrepperNoob]

GREAT VIDEO! Thanks for narrowing it down for us, i didnt have to shop around online for hours. thank you!

[drumbago]

so funny to see the bed movers behind you at 18:17.

[DAGAGBowen]

Are there any companies that sell Katuk through mail order?

Just a side note - I love this channel, and you inspired me to start my entire (first) garden from seeds purchased from Baker Creek. It's definitely a learning experience, and my 17 month old daughter really enjoys getting down in the dirt with me.

[sms1777]

Wow, thanks for all the great info! I usually just buy from Baker Creek because they are located about half an hour away from me, but I'm definitely going to have to check out Johnny's for their micro-greens.

[paulgem123]

What a awesome video, YOU ARE THE MAN! I love your information it is such a blessing a motivation for me. I got some new heirloom melons today and some organic mulch.I am so motivated to see how they taste because I use the Azomite rock dust to make it crazy good. Thanks John for your passion!

[wlewissea]

Another one to check out is Abundant Life Seeds.

[redberrychick43]

Humans not being able to reproduce is a good thing, John. Too many people mucking up the planet as it is. I choose not to have kids. I'm not fond of them one bit. ;)

Thanks for the catalog recs! I am moving to Prescott, AZ in September and plan on having a large garden there so this vid came at a good time. Love your vids!

[votresouhait]

baker creek's melon and tomato pages make me drooool!!

[glennmunro01]

The Baker Creek...stays on my nightstand....., is the bomb though.....as far as magazine layout, and choice of seeds. Johnny's are my top two, thanks for the review...... I have new go to,,,,,

[1ChevyGuy375]

I like looking threw those catalogs too John. A sign that spring Is not to far away. I already planned my garden layout, although something always changes before the actual planting lol

[masn1978]

thanks John you are awesome

[m0o9i]

this guy looks high hahahahahahahahaha seeds

[FreidasGarden]

Thank you John! Great information. I make good use of the old catalogs. First I cut out the pictures of the /vegetables & flowers and then glue them onto an old tool box where I now keep my seeds. It looks so colorful!

[rskurow]

Great Video. Thanks!

[Georgiahomestead]

Great episode, I am in Canada and do have the opertunity to buy US seads which I have begun doing this year. Some of your favorites are among mine. You might like to check out a Canadian catalogue from West Coast Seeds. It is a catalogue and a learning tool all in one, showing how many things are grown and such. thnx

[flyingemu27]

THANK YOU, JOHN! I ordered what I could. I can't wait to read them!

[yardsnacker]

When you consider all the coal tar dyes used and chlorine in making that Baker Creek catalog, it makes sense to get catalogs that are compostable!

[aunthill167]

Seed Savers Exchange?? Seeds of Change??

Definitely missed a couple of big ones!

[growingyourgreens]

Im not a big fan of Seeds of Change. They got BOUGHT out by M&M Mars YES!- the candy bar company).... and since then, I believe they are going down hill, since they are corporate owned. On Seed Savers, I didnt have their "catalog' vs "Yearbook", so they were not mentioned. They will actually get their OWN episode, as its so important. Its on the "list"..

[aunthill167]

@growingyourgreens That is soo crazy about Seeds of Change...I just can't believe it!!! I look forward your episode on Seed Savers. Thanks

[ASFx2600]

@growingyourgreens Seeds of change seems to be a lot more expensive than other places too. I did get a few seed packets from them last year, and the packets contained a pretty small amount of seeds.

[beadella1958]

One thing you mentioned is that not many places have cover crop seeds. I have found several places that sell them, and I am always interested to read about all the benefits that each variety/mix provides. Have you checked into Peaceful Valley? They are one of the places that have a really good number of the cover crop products, and also very helpful info about gardening in general. As to Baker Creek, they are at the top of my list as well!!! Thanx for the rundown of your faves!

[marchbabymimi]

LOVE Baker Creek Seeds! My favorite :)

[redherringbone]

John, Territorial Seed catalog may not be glossy but I've been able to shred it once I'm through ordering my seeds and use it as a mulch/soil conditioner in my garden. I wish all garden catalogues were as environmentally conscious.

[Rachna888]

I got some seeds for sprouting can I store them in my fridge?

[BubbleBeet]

I like the Johnnys Seeds catalog, they give a brief description on the best garden conditions for each plant. Very useful advice.

Park Seed dotcom is also a good one, they have great prices.

[pinetar100]

buy most of my seeds from johnnys seeds

[Hoovesandpaws61]

Thanks John. This was a hugh help.

[bcgarden2010]

Great episode! Agreed with earlier comment about pawpaws; you need a pollinator. And for all those Canadian gardeners, check out West Coast Seeds... They are my favorite! :)

[crosspecans]

baker is out of free catalogs..i can buy one for 5 bucks tho. fedco wants an order to get a catalog. looks like youre getting some new neighbors behind ya. thanks for the catalog suggestions.

[ABADYHWH]

What is the difference between organic and hybrid seeds?

[growingyourgreens]

Organic Seeds were produced in a way that conforms to the National Organic Program, basically without the use of most synthetic chemicals/etc. The problem is not all seeds are organic, and if you only grow "organic" then you are massivly reducing diversity. Hybrids are varieties resulting from natural or artificial pollination between genetically distinct parents. Open-pollinated seeds come from relatively stable varieties resulting from pollination between genetically similar parents

[ABADYHWH]

@growingyourgreens

Thanks.

[HerbalArtist]

@ABADYHWH organic means that no unatural fertailzer where use or pesticides.Which contain nero toxin.Hybrid to my knowledge can also be organic hoever it has been modified I am not certain if that is necicarilly a bad thing.

[ABADYHWH]

@HerbalArtist

The reason I asked is because I am a Hebrew Yisraelite, and I should obey the advice of YHWH, my Power:

Leviticus 19:19 KJV

Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee.

For that reason I wanted to know what was the difference between organic and hybrid seed. Peace and blessings to you. Thanks.

[Hobohube]

Which one sells Egyptian Spinach? Thanks John

[growingyourgreens]

Bountiful Gardens, they call it Egyptian Spinach Greens, Specialty, Corchorus olitorius, Molokheiya.

[havokeachday]

John, I thought the OneGreenWorld catalog said that Paw Paw needs a pollinator with a second variety in order to fruit. Also, you didn't mention Seed Savers Exchange or Seeds of Change.

[growingyourgreens]

Yes, Paw Paw does require a male/female to pollinate. I do have a total of 4 plants, so I have a strong possibility of having a male and female. Im not a big fan of Seeds of Change. They got BOUGHT out by M&M Mars.. and since then, I believe they are going down hill, since they are corporate owned. On Seed Savers, I didnt have their "catalog' vs "Yearbook", so they were not mentioned. They will actually get their OWN episode, as its so important. Its on the "list"..

[mysciencenow]

@growingyourgreens there are tons of wild paw paw trees around here but ive only seen one fruit actually ripen....and i didnt know what it was at the time so i just through it into the bushes

[TrailerParkTrish]

Thanks! Already have several of those, but will go order Bountiful Garden immediately!
