\u201c~When planning our garden, I shopped both online (localharvest.org) and locally after researching catalogs, specifically for heirloom variety seeds.<\/p>\n

~I read Gardening with Heirlooms<\/em> by Lynn Coulter and thoroughly enjoyed it.<\/p>\n

~I love reading the history of the seeds that I planted. It is like opening an historic novel instead of a seed catalog.

\n~I thoroughly enjoyed Miss Coulter’s book. It is now on my wish list. I love how Lynn calls heirloom seeds “living antiques.” So appropriate! Also an inheritance of flavor and beauty from long ago. It caused me to remember a scene in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers<\/em> with Howard Keel and Jane Powell. Adam is riding in the wagon with his bride, Milllie. Millie is excited on her journey to her new home, a cabin in the mountains. In her excitement, she tells Adam of her valuables: the Bible<\/em>, another book, and a packet of seeds that her mother gave her. Oh, how we should be so excited about seeds!<\/p>\n

Through the book, I obtained quite a bit of knowledge that I wasn’t aware of. It was nice to see that, due to their genetics, heirlooms are usually resistant to pests, diseases, and extremes of weather.<\/p>\n

~I am happy to report that more than 5% of our garden is heirloom plantings.\u201d\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
