Organic Heirlooms
Heirloom
seeds are open pollinated and produce the same plant year
after year. All you have to do is save the seeds and
replant the following year. These seeds usually have a
historical past to them and have been carried down from
generation to generation.
Most seeds that are sold at retail stores are hybrid
seeds. They are seeds that have had their genetics
changed. They are the results of many different plants
combined to create a new variety of plant. They usually
produce more crops, produce a more uniform product than an
heirloom plant, and are usually disease and drought
resistant. There is nothing better tasting than a true
heirloom vegetable. They are a little harder to grow and
need more care to raise than a hybrid, but it is well
worth every minute of the time.
