- tip of the day
- Want homegrown veggies that don't all taste and look the same?
- the bite
- Then heirloom is king. Consider heirloom seeds (ones that haven't been genetically modified or hybridized) for your spring planting, so by summer you'll be rich with royally tasty produce fit for a monarch.
- the benefits
-
- Sitting high on the variety throne. Heirlooms offer unique flavors and appearances you won't find with species cultivated for uniformity and climate adaptability.
- The noblesse oblige of protecting biodiversity. Since 1800, we've lost 75% of the genetic diversity of agricultural crops.
- personally speaking
- Heather picked up heirloom tomato seeds just 'cuz she liked the names. Bull's Heart, Green Zebra, and Purple Calabash caprese, anyone?
- wanna try?
