?What is an Heirloom

Heirloom varieties tend to taste like god intended, before the scientist understood gene manipulation.  Heirlooms are seeds passed down from one generation to the next, usually for 50 years or more.

1. Exceptional taste is the No. 1 reason many gardeners cite for choosing heirloom varieties.
2. Heirloom vegetables are likely to be more nutritious than newer varieties.
3. Many gardeners prefer heirloom vegetables because they are open-pollinated, which means you can save your own seed to replant from year to year.  
4.  Heirloom plants are bred for flavor and disease resistance, not shelf life.
