Old Fashioned Heirloom Gardens and Seed Saving

Heirloom seeds farm veggies vegetable garden

As soon as I heard about Old Fashioned Heirloom Garden Seeds, I was sold and bet you will be too. Did you know that only pure, open pollinated seeds will produce plants that you can save seeds from for next years planting? Hybrids, by contrast, produce either sterile seeds or different offspring.

Most typical seed companies offer hybrids and chemically treated seeds but very rarely offer old fashioned heirloom garden seeds. When chemicals are on your seeds, the growing plant absorbs them. Not only is this not good for you, your family and friends, it is not good for your garden soil either.

Considering also the fact that most typical seed companies (a good many owned by the big oil industry, I might add) offer very little more then hybrid or chemically treated eeds, it might not be such a bad idea to consider trying heirloom garden seeds.

They are free of toxic residues, demonstrate excellent germination, are purely natural and mature rapidly. Besides that, our seeds are fresh and carefully packed with human hands the day the order is received. We love our seeds and have personally grown these garden vegetables ourselves for many years.

Even more important than all of the above though is the fact that by using heirloom seeds, you will become a little more self-reliant and less dependent on big business seed companies and in the process, start a new family tradition of passing on your heirloom seeds to the next generation...what fun!
