I have been ordering from Baker Creek for the past 17 years. My how time flies!! From the moment I had that first paper catalog in my hands and read about all the different varieties of heirlooms, and read the mouthwatering descriptions along with the drawings of said varieties, I was hooked...

Hi Wishin, I grew Amish Paste for a number of years and loved it. It is a big blocky shaped tomato with superb flavor. Amish Paste is not a true paste variety. It has more juice compared to most true pastes. It has an equa l balance of meat/juice. It has more seeds than a reular paste, but not...

Hi Steve!! I sorta know a little about these sort of thing!!:)

I believe back in 2009 someone listed seeds/cuttings @ SSE for the Snowbank (Burbank) white blackberry.. But it was found to be virus infected. Not sure if it is available now. I know a few people over @ Homegrown goodness were offering cuttings or seeds at one point. Maybe someone could hook...

Absolutely stunning way of re-perposing something you had just sitting around your yard, into something you can get a lot more use and enjoyment out of. The beautiful landscaping surrounding it, and the joy your grandaughter is expressing completes it. Thank you for the pics and detailed...

Great find!! I saw one just like it at a yard sale this past summer, but the price tag was $15.

I bought some fig cuttings from someone on another garden site a few years ago..Magnolia, Violet De Bordeaux, Brunswick, Lattarula and Desert King.. They arrived in good shape and the scions were still green. I wrapped the scions in damp paper towels and then damp newspaper. I placed them in a...

Steve, I clicked on your page and took a peek at your pic's! First I just want to comment on how lovely the Dahlia garden is at your dad's. Wow! Reminds me of my grandparents garden years ago, when they planted hundreds of dahlia tubers each spring, and when they bloomed it was a spectacular...

What a lovely sight for my eyes to behold. Spring is just around the corner despite the cold snow and temps. I keep telling myself "patience"! Last March, we had unusual warm temps fluctuating in the mid 70's and 80's . All the bushes and tree's budded out along with the flowers popping their...

:lol: Too funny! My hens refuse to lay eggs in nesting boxes..They just make a few nest's on the floor with straw and hay..And then they all take turns laying in the same two nests..When they get broody, I ususally have two hens either fighting to sit on the nest when they go broody, and when...

I love your pictures!! You have a real gift for photography! :) What kind/variety of fig tree are you growing? I tried to grow some fig's from cuttings someone sent me and they did not root/thrive. Money down the tube..But will try again someday!

Nice! The setting is beautiful!! What do you have planted on the left pic. with the poles?

I have been growing Boston Pickling for a long time now, and it is the only one I grow for (main) pickling. It is so prolific, and the fruits grow so fast, you have to make sure you check on them every day, other wise you end up with monster cukes..lol I love Poona Kheera. Been growing it for...

Steve I grew mine in the GH..It gives me an extra 2 months or so.. The heat from the GH all summer long helped them grow rampant..I threw some seeds in the garden, along a fence, and the vine only grew about 8 feet with a few blossoms, and produced only 2, 6 inch fruit... Ginny

What skeeter say's..Yes you can make pickles out of them! I also sliced them in fruit salad, and used in relish..

Beautiful sight. I have a semi-dwarf Elberta Peach that is three years old. I had one small peach last season.

Jared asked for pics, so here they are..The Armenian Cuumbers (are really a melon type) were grown up a trellis(2) in my Greenhouse in 2010/11. I planted way to many seeds. The vines grew up to the top of the roof and back down. The leaves are huge. The vine had hundreds of flowers. They...
