Seed Company: Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds

Seeds germinate well, and they offer a great variety, but you need to research when to plant and how to care for each plant.

Introduced to this company by way of a grower in Lafayette, La. I order seeds from Baker / Rare Seeds and within a short time I’ve an ack in my email box, then not long after the packets ship. Germination rate is at least 80% if not more (i don’t follow directions well) generating into sturdy seedlings.

Inconsistent info on seed packets. Heavy on marketing; light on solid info. Fewer seeds for the $$ than other sellers.

Baker Creek has everything an heirloom gardener could want and then some, but some of their seeds are expensive and germination isn’t high. Also, I have received rogue seeds in packets that are not what I’ve ordered. I do shop with them, but they are not my first choice.

Just take a look at their catalogs, they are AMAZING! They provide lots of details from planting to history. I’ll always order from Baker Creek. Very satisfied!
