Excerpted from the website:
- Heirloom Vegetables
- Heirloom plants or heirloom varieties, especially from vegetables are cultivars grown commonly during earlier periods in history. Heirloom plants are not used in modern agriculture. Today only small farms or home gardeners grow these plants for historical interest or because they want to taste the different varieties of vegetables. Some gardeners select heirloom plants due to an interest in traditional organic gardening. Many heirloom vegetables have kept their traits through open pollination. That means, gardeners can save there own seeds year after year. The trend of growing heirloom plants in gardens has been growing in popularity in the USA and Europe over the last years.
