I really appreciate that you print the names of the crops on the screen because I am hearing impaired and have difficulty making out terms I'm not familiar with. I wish all YouTubers would do that. Thank you.

Every-time Shannie comes on here I feel like I need to order more seeds!

These videos are so amazing and helpful! It would be awesome if you guys put together an annual or monthly seed bundle of all the seeds you feature!

I can't stop ordering seeds....I've ordered three times from Baker Creek . And now this😰💖🤗🌿🍀

I'm so enjoying these videos. Keep up the good work.

Damn, I get a HARD FREEZE every time Baker Creek releases a new video.

Watching this 3 hours after I ordered more seeds from y’all. Well I guess I’m going back for more 🤷🏻‍♀️

I would not be mad if you turned this into a series and made one for each month! I did not know I could plant peas in September. I am new to gardening and have never been able to be successful at growing peas (mainly because I didn’t know they were a cool weather crop). I wasted all my Tom Thumb peas earlier this season so I didn’t have any. Then I remembered I had some cheap seeds left over from the first year I tried gardening 3 years ago before I learned about heirloom seeds. I managed to find 10 pea seeds in the drawer and I’m going to give them a go. I’m sure they won’t do great, but I’ll be happy if I at least get one pea. We will see, I’m feeling hopeful!

We love Tatsoi! My 8 year old son calls Tatsoi "greens that kids like." 😂

I am SO GLAD you have gotten into Chinese vegetables starting with my absolute favorite green vegetable by "far" Yhod Fah, what a surprise to open up to your vlog & see you have a plethora of Chinese produce seeds! Folks you will be won over by this delicious, fast cooking veggie, trust me! I have been going from Brooklyn to Manhattan's Chinatown to get my Chinese vegetables for years. I even suggested to one of the Homesteaders l follow on YT who sells to restaurants, telling him he would get a lot of attention by bringing them a super delicious treat that will amaze their customers & increase his reputation!

tip of advice, always start by specifying your region or hardiness zone.

I’ve heard Jess recommend you guys so much. What I like about her channel is there is a ton of information coming at me just from experience where sometimes I have to pause so I can take notes. That’s exactly what I like here. No filler, just content.

I love the Red Giant Mustard! Had no idea I could plant it in September also. I think I am going to order some Tatsoi. I have never tried it but like the fact that it is low growing, cold hardy, and nutrient dense.

[sharonhenning]

These have been the best garden videos I have watched. I live in Missouri, too, so the timing is perfect. Sell in packages and I would try them all. It would be so easy just to click on it and purchase all of them. Please continue these all year.

Really love these what to plant each month videos!

We got some of those mustard seeds as our "free seeds" twice and I planted them... OMG I LOVE THEM!!

Down here in Florida September is the beginning of are growing season and we are planting warm season crops.

Am a first time viewer and am loving it

This is so very helpful when you discuss specific crops/seeds. You have a ton of seeds on your site and I get intimidated and overwhelmed by the choices. Most are plants I have never even heard off. Thank you! Now I can order some winter crop seeds and know exactly how to grow them. Awesome 😎

PS I am not hearing impaired but I too appreciate that you display the name of plant you are discussing (for clarity sake)
