I'm so glad...that you didn't see that happy dance I did just now. It feels really good to have my suggestion picked, and I'm probably being silly, but I'll take the joy from wherever it comes! I genuinely hope you enjoy the Aunt Ruby's German green tomatoes. I know taste is subjective, so if they aren't up your alley...well, I guess we'll have to debate who has the superior taste buds! Ha ha!
I was dancing too.
I was jumping up and down in excitement t. Looking at the list
They are good, but I couldn't get over that they were not red.
WOW what a variety!
Last year at the community garden, I successfully grow the Long Island Cheese Pumpkins, they were so good that I placed second place at our local fall festival. I have also grown the Jamaican Scotch bonnets, they are hot. The cheese pumpkins are good for pies,breads, jams and they store for a long time. I currently have 5 pumpkins left from last years harvest.
It was a lot of years ago but when I planted my first garden, ALL of the plants were new for me. It’s great to see how you are inspiring lots of gardeners to try something new in their gardens this year, too. I’m one of them 😊
So glad to see you selected Pink Bumble Bee- these have a complex set of culinary notes, I love them esp with sunrise Bumble Bee.
The Uzbek Golden carrot & Hillbilly tomato are some of My favorite varieties to grow for years now! I also already grow many of the varieties that Your subscribers picked for You. Great selection!😊
Dear Mr Scott. Was watching your 12 suggestions on what not to grow. The emphasis seemed to be on effort, cost and being able to get cheap.y in the store. Being on the pension I do value that. However, after many years my emphasis has gone from the $ to organic, which is expensive in stores. If you read Dr william Li's book, Eat to beat disease, in our cancer age I now am planting his recommended foods. Even at 75 I don't care about the effort if I can remain healthy. Thank you for your programme. Always good to see what people around the world are doing.
I think it’s important to try new things. I keep the staples I always want and have a couple spots to try new stuff every year. When I run out of space for new stuff, just means it’s time for some more beds! 😅
Thanks for sharing this video Gardener Scott! It’s going to be a lot of fun to see what happens in your garden this year! I tried everything new to me last year and it was amazing!😊
I am again going with some personal favorites, but MOST of this years garden will be things i have never tried, but suggested by my wife!
This is so exciting! Thank you Gardener Scott for doing all of this for us!
Hahah this is the Gardener Scott version of "youtube made me buy it" and it's such a vibe. Looking forward to 2024 season ❤
The Kajari melon was a UA-cam made me from Roots and Refuge 😂 and now we pass it on
This past year I grew 3 of your choices- the Hillbilly tomatoes survived one of the hottest summers in Tucson in years; The little Gem Romain haven't' turned out like the picture on my packet( no tight heads) but they are still very good; the Kajari melons are awesome- fun thing is as they ripen they turn from shades of green to the orange like the picture but you don't have to wonder when they are ripe- they let go of the vine and are just lying on the ground saying "pick me up".
Sounds exciting! With such variety, the odds of finding some new favorites as well as surprises along the way are promising. Happy gardening! ;)
For me, growing something new not only adds to the excitement but also gives me the opportunity to learn more.
The funny thing is of course that if someone is asking for recommendations for "unusual" plants to grow, it will be hugely dependent on where they're from and what they've grown before! For me, filderkraut is an absolutely bog-standard white pointed cabbage, something I've been eating for over 40 years and nothing particularly special! 😂
If you’ve never tried tromboncino/rampicante squash or edamame, they’re both wonderful and definitely worth it. We’re trying new things this year too and I can’t wait!
Very exciting stuff!! I just put in my Merlot Lettuce in a wooden drawer outside and they are sprouting. The rain we are getting in SoCal is helping out 😂😂
We've had good luck with the Merlot lettuce from Baker Creek. Recommend 👍
We will grow our king of the North peppers with Eli this year. You should compare yours to hers and see how they turn out! Fun!
Oh I agree @Sasspopowich1033
You'll love the Kajari melon. Grew it 2 years ago when I started gardening. Grew really well.
Those Mad Hatter peppers are delicious. Small orange pepper, a nice mild, great flavor, can have a little sweetness to the taste too.
How exciting! I grow the gold rush zucchini every year. Love it. I didn’t make any recommendations for you but I do grow in a higher elevation garden (gotta love the cool nights). A pumpkin I like to grow is called NAKED BEAR PUMPKIN. It is a dual purpose pumpkin with hull less seeds and pie worthy. I have to admit the flesh isn’t as tasty as a proper pie pumpkin but it does make a really good pie. With my recipe it tastes buttery and rich. Keep this pumpkin in mind for another year. It is great as I have a small garden so I am limited on varieties and some of the pepitas hull less seeded pumpkins don’t have much flavour and poor texture.
Oh wow❣️ That is sooo exciting❣️ Growing all new things definitely is fun. I know I grow a few new varieties each year also. I look forward to seeing the upcoming videos on these new varieties. 😁
5 seconds after watching this I got some of your seeds and a couple you don't have. Lol. Thank you. I wear your t-shirt proud. "I'm a gardener"
I'm so glad you picked the White Tomesol! I hope they do well for you and I'm very interested to see how all these new varieties work out. How fun!
I grew them from Baker Creek a few years ago. Every tomato was cat faced. I wonder if that was just me.
Happy to see you are growing the Uzbek carrots! It has become my favorite! It was a free packet from BC 2 yrs ago and it will always have a place in my Maine garden! It is a prolific, large and very sweet variety.
I've King of the North, bell pepper. Was a gift packet from ,Tomato Growers Supply.
Good luck GS. It's an early, 60 day, maturing pepper.
YES!!! Thank you for picking the Avalanche beets!! ❤❤ You won't be disappointed. 😊😊 Leah from Minnesota Zone 4b
Long island cheese squash is great! I grow them every year because the squash vine borers mostly ignore them. I hope they work out for you! (I have a ~174 day growing season fwiw)
Merlot lettuce is my absolute favorite.
I was going to joke and recommend growing a Ghost pepper. Then you break out a Scotch Bonnet pepper. Very cool looking peppers but very hot. The Mad Hatter you will enjoy. Not too hot and a very cool looking pod. Try growing a Peter Pepper. You and guests will get a good laugh.
Somehow I missed this, and didn't get to recommend anything... but with 4 pages of suggestions, you are doing okay!
All the different varieties are why I can't get out of the seed store or off seed websites without spending at least an hour. I'm excited to see how all of these turn out.
You are so brave taking on so many unknowns. I agree, love planting something different every year, but not everything, lol.
This is why so many people follow you, you are not afraid of doing something different.
Stay Well my friend!!!!!!
This year should be fun for you. Sending blessings on all the new varieties you picked.
this is the video i've been waiting for. i'm so excited to see that you picked a few of my suggesstions - (Diva Cucumber, Kajari Melon, FilderKraut Cabbage and Gold Rush Zucchini)... i hope they do really well for you! can't wait to see the growing update vids and harvesting vids..
You got 3 of the 4 I recommended. I can't wait to see how they do for you.
The Long Island Cheese Pumpkin is one I have been growing for the past couple of seasons. It grows so well and is truly delicious in pies, roasted, and in soups. Thank you for the great videos!!
I have often heard of The King of The North. I'm in Ohio, so I'm very interested in that pepper .
That Hillbilly is delicious little hard to keep healthy.
Favorite salad tomato Midnight Snack and Honeycomb hybrid
Excited to see how everything works out for you! Happy gardening!
I am so excited to see how these all grow for you. Please keep us posted. 🍅🥕🌶
I definitely will.
Plant the Merlot lettuce. You won't be sorry. I also got it free. I don't really grow much lettuce but the Merlot lettuce is beautiful, hardy and a tasty lettuce.
Very cool! Thanks for asking.
Carrots are challenging for me here to grow in New England due to our increasingly unpredictable weather - but I could grow Uzbek Golden carrots in 2023 - nice shape and quite tasty. This is likely one resilient carrot - which we will be sticking too…
My wife loves the koyoto red carrot from baker Creek. We've done most of the ones the offer, and the red blows them out of the water.
Wahoo! I hope the hillbilly tomatoes treat you well!
OMG ananas noir. You will NOT be disappointed! Best tomato I grew in my first year garden last year.
I grew the topical sunset last year and I was super excited for it but for taste it was meh. I would take sungold over that one any day.
I was bummed that mine didn’t make but I have grown Indigo rose I really like and it did well for me last year and so did the 42 cherry tomato!!!
Little gem and merlot lettuce from Baker Creek are wicked awesome! Steve Moberg zone 6b 👍👍
YES
I was one of the people who recommended the Tahitian butternut. I remember your concern that due to the plant being tropical, you might not have enough time in the growing season in Colorado. The Tahitian butternut grows very fast, and will spread all over your garden if you're not careful. By contrast, when I tried planting the much slower growing honeynut squash sown at the exact same time, the plants were still tiny by the time the Tahitian vines had started snaking across the ground.
It looks like you will have a very diverse garden. You will love the Isis candy tomato. You really should try the merlot lettuce. I grow that every year and the color is so pretty. Can’t wait to watch the progress of varieties you are growing.
I’m trying the lesya pepper for the first time this year, too!
Alma (apple:shaped), Feher (white) Ozon are sweet peppers for eating fresh in the yellow through red colored stage and making Paprika powder and the Black Hungarian Paprika was about the heat level of jalapenos in my yearly garden. Glad they made the list. Happy gardening and best of luck this year.
Tried banana melon last year because the description said it tasted a bit like banana, and wasn't musky. It did well. It tasted like cantaloupe. But my family liked it. We cut up and froze chunks of what we didn't eat, for puppy Popsicles. He went nuts for it. I plan several experiments this year, Artichoke, mainly for the big purple flower.
Jicama, just to see if it will produce here. We do like them.
Elephant garlic, several new tomatoes of course, a few new peppers, and some new herbs. I have a lot of learning to do lol
Looking forward to see you grow all these.
I really really hope you like the sugar rush peach peppers. They are so delicious. Fruity and spicy. They make a fantastic salsa and a great pairing with apricots for a wonderful jam.
I always love your videos, but I was on the edge of my seat waiting for this one, haha. Mine didn't get picked, but maybe another time! You should do this again next season, even if it isn't having viewers pick nearly all of them 😊
I'm growing pumpkins for the first time this year, same variety. If you've got tips that haven't made it into a video about pumpkins, I'd love to hear them!
Definitely try the Merlot lettuce!
I often try new varieties just based on a weird name. Like Drunken Woman Frizzy Headed lettuce. My curly haired girlfriend gave me an incredulous look when I bought that one, but she liked it in the long run.
I'll add a little encouragement towards growing the Merlot lettuce. I got the seeds free last year too, and planted it along with my early spring lettuces. It grew well for me, looked great in a salad, taste and texture were perfect, but the thing that made me decide it was going to be a permanent fixture in my garden was the bolt resistance. As all the lettuces began to bolt when summer weather hit, the Merlot just hung in there beautifully and bridged the gap between my spring lettuces and my summer heat-tolerant lettuces. My forellenschluss/speckled trout lettuce grew about the same, so from now on, both of those will be on my late spring/early summer lettuce schedule.
You're not crazy. I do try some new things every year. I also grow some things that I'm sure will succeed. Last year I grew 3 different purple basil's 2 of which were new.
Looks like there will be plenty of excitement in your garden this year.
I’m trying a new yellow cherry that is not as sweet as Sun Gold, and the black pineapple tomato you had.
I searched for that Alma Pepper without shipping as MI Gardener never got it back in and I was so excited about that box of seeds I ordered on sale last year as I had at least the Hungarian Pepper I think from Renee’s. We made a red sweet pepper powder last year with a bit of hot and it’s terrific. Garlic powder also.
Did you figure out variety for I think it was Napa Cabbage?
The way this weather is so warm up here it tricks you into thinking to start plants. Not yet ☺️
So many varieties and only so much space and time.
I hope you got the sweet mad hatter! If you did please keep it away from your hot ones! My favorite snacking pepper!
Grew giant crimson from migardener last year and wasnt impressed with the yield or the taste. It was middle of the road at best.
Our white icicle radishes from Baker Creek tasted awful. But we just used them for greens. They grew well in our multi crop bed.
Moldovan Green Beefstake Tomato, would grow fine in Colorado. I grow them in cool Northern Ireland. Fantastic choice for next year.
The merlot lettuce is good. I tried them last year and ordered more for this year.
I’m so excited you’re going to try the velvet red! And I’m actually trying the ananas noir for the first time too this year so looking forward to hearing how that one does for you. :)
I noticed you had seeds from Pinetree Garden Seeds. I just stumbled upon their website today and am ordering from them, too. 😊
This is going to be a very very exciting year for you Garderen Scott!! Cool that you took my suggestion to try the Banna Mellon!
Gard...i see Seeds and Such packs...i tried Thunder hybrid cukes from them. They did great against the traditional cukes which had disease issues with our cold June then very humid summer weather. Trying them again this year.
Oh it's going to be interesting to see how you get on with King of the North :D
I love them, wouldn't NOT grow them now!
You're going to have a fun season this year.
I’m doing the opposite this year. I’m growing what I know I like to eat and not experimenting so much with new varieties. To each their own.
I always have a hard time with which tomatoes to grow! There are way to many amazing varieties to try, so i have to grow as many as possible!!
Oh oh oh I forgot to mention the honey nut butternut squash will change your life ...... in a good way😅
Let's pretend I recommended the LI Cheese pumpkin, and Gold Rush beans, they do great here in Massachusetts!
This year I am growing fully hybrid seeds, Plus series tomato, giant hybrid peppers and 6 brand new hybrid cucumbers & many many new hybrid varieties from Johnny's seed, burpee, tomato growers & fedco, open pollinated are hit n miss & seed collection doesn't work for 99% of vegs because of cross pollination I own more than 100 different types of tomatoes soon they're being donated to the library 😂
This will be my first year growing Kajari melon too. It's supposed to be delicious! And I have a Long Island Cheese pumpkin my daughter grew waiting to be eaten.
Whoo hoo I had three picks😮😮
I am so excited to watch you grow all these this year. I am always looking forward to growing something new. I have grown the Lesya and King of the North peppers here in northern Vermont with great success. Good luck this year!
How exciting. I too am growing some of those this year.
We're growing a couple of the same varieties this year! Yours will do better, but I can't wait to see how they do!
The merlot lettuce is excellent!
Try the pumpkin that I gave you Taina Dorada. Or the sabrocito pepper very tasty.
Looking forward to hearing about the cucumbers you will be trying - will keep you posted on the ones from Common Wealth Seed Growers in terms of disease susceptibility etc. Little leaf just is not resilient enough with our increasingly relentless summer rain.. Zone 6 New England
You might also enjoy Kelloggs breakfast tomato. Delish
I do. I had a great harvest of them last year.
Better boy husker sweet 100 tomatoes. And one I have buy from Bonnie.
I don't think you are crazy. But I think you are going to miss some of your old favorites :) But that said...I bet you find some good new ones.
Great picks! I’m growing some of the same. I received the Merlot lettuce a few years ago as my free seed packet and it’s now one of my favorites. It’s survived a week of 15°F so that’s also a plus. I also like the Landis Winter Lettuce a lot. I’d suggest popping some of them into a GreenStalk if you have room. Can’t wait to see how all of your “firsts” do!
Good suggestion. I'm planning to use my GreenStalk.
Grow Big.
I would love to send you a few seeds I got from Travis at Lazy Dog Farm last year. I love my Black Krim and Paul Robeson but this variety is SO sweet. It will be a permanent tomato if not the only tomato I grow from now on.❤❤😊😊
You can send me a note to gardenerscott@gardenerscott.com and tell me more.
@@GardenerScott will do.
Fantastic
AMAZING!!!
Is there a list of everything you chose and where you got it? I would like to follow along.
Jack - B - Little grows really well on a trellis so you don't have to waste a lot of space on something that is merely decorative. I once grew it up a chain link fence in pretty crappy soil, I got a good yield of the ones on my side of the fence, the goats on the other side got the "pumpkins" that grew on that side.
I don't have a separate list, just what I mention in the video.
Hey there, weird Sidebar: are you still going to start some pansies? I started a tray on Nov 25 and got c. 80% germination and now have little decorative pots of nice plants around the house, BUT, I am going to start another tray for hardening off for outside and I want to wait for your video if you are going to still do one. I appreciate your knowledge and advice.
I am planning on the pansies. The video will show starting, hardening off, and transplanting so it won't be out for a few months.
I look forward to seeing how you progress with the new selection Scott. Great sharing and best wishes Jason from Melbourne Australia.
Gardner Scott, I have plenty of Giant Crimson tomato seeds that I saved from last year - if you'd like some let me know, I'd be happy to send them your way. - Gardner Matt
Thank you, Matt. I appreciate that but I think I'll save them for next year.
Gardener Scott, can I make a suggestion for the end of 2024 to try the Ruth Stout Method for the snowy.season comes including potatoes garlic and maybe some onion which may not work but worth try.
Call out for Gardener Scott, Does anyone have a few spare MiGardener Giant Crimson Tomato Seeds for Gardener Scott?
Just a thought of a nice gesture😊😊😊
I've been planning a Ruth Stout video for years. I may get to that section of my garden this year but more likely it will be next year.
