    I am a former seed addict. I won't let myself buy them anymore - well, maybe a packet here & there. I've been planting old seeds. Last year, I planted zinnia seeds from 2014. They were large & lovely! I saved the seed heads so I'll have them for next year. Not all old seeds germinate, but it's fun to see what happens.

    Fellow seed addict here! 😁 I'm currently waiting on a Baker Creek order that appears to be...in transit but who knows where it is? 🤔 I have faith it will arrive and much like your one order, I don't remember EXACTLY what's in which is super exciting! 🤗
    Good point on saving your own seeds and how those you save will be more adapted to your climate. I really love to save my own seeds.
    We here in the North - while very snowed in and cold - absolutely still have our gardens on our mind as we anxiously await planting season. Though I do envy your ability to keep gardening, it really is a nice down time to reset and gather my thoughts. Winter allows me to build up my excitement for the coming season and my plans even more. I plan to start peppers in February so I'm not too far away from some level of gardening. 😉
    I've grown the Habanada and they are a nice pepper though they didn't want to ripen for me very well and weren't that productive, I've still heard great things from others in the North. I imagine they'll do quite well for you. it is nice to be able to taste that flavor without the heat. Pineapple tomato is a great tomato, productive, flavorful, big tomatoes. I too like Baker Creek seeds though I've been a little thrown by all the controversy, I couldn't resist especially with some holiday gift cards. I can't wait to "remember" what wild seeds I got coming my way! You sure got some interesting ones, that's awesome. Thank you for sharing your haul and your thoughts. These kinds of videos are always fun and a great way for us Northerners (and all seed addicts alike) to get our fix as we wait. Take care! 🙋‍♀

    WOW! This is the 1st time seeing you...And subscribed immediately when I saw BAKERS CREEK seed packs. I've ordered twice since October...total over $300...But let me tell you, my seed-crazy runs extremely deep... I don't have anywhere to plant the seeds...LOL Oh, by the way, a lot of libraries have seed swaps in spring.

    I love growing my own food! I have alot of seeds too. Last year I germinated a whole bunch and lost about half of my seedlings while hardening them off. I think it was the humidity and bugs combined. I live in Georgia. Our weather is unpredictable and goes back and forth. The worst cold months are usually January and February. What state do you live in? It was warm here yesterday but we have had 2 or 3 freezes which killed my tomato plants. I was getting ripe tomatoes through November and had a few other varieties that were close to fruiting but then those were killed by the freeze too. I was so bummed because I wanted some big ones and I planted those last. This time I will be planting the large varieties first. I am also on to stat planting Microdwarfs indoors so I can have tomatoes in the winter.

    I get seeds from baker creek, hoss, lazy dog farm, see right seeds and Johnny seeds. Hoss and lazy dog are based on Georgia so hoping they grow well for me since that's where I live. I'm excited to grow jedi peppers and rebel star fighter tomatos. I'm a star wars need and I had to try these. I debated on the frodo pepper but decided to pass for this year. I'm doing hot peppers for the first time next year now that I learned more about pepper growing from the pepper geeks and was successful this past year. Hoping to b focus more on my tomatos this year and try eggplant and okra for the first time along with popcorn.
