Heirloom seeds and plants are open pollinated and genetically diverse. They enable us to save and adapt our crops for flavor, productivity, disease resistance, and important regional and seasonal variations. Many hybrids are genetic clones adapted for agribusiness requirements to withstand harsh chemicals, uniformity, mechanical harvest, shipping, and storage...traits which don't allow us to save our own seeds or respect our cultural inheritance of carefully chosen seeds handed down from our ancestors. This is a great time of year to sit back with some herbal tea and explore seed catalogs. I will note a few of my favorites below. Please share your favorite heirloom & organic seed companies too. Enjoy exploring and planning for seeds of change on this wintry day!

Possible frost, folks! Cover plants if you have them in the ground. You can use buckets, fabric, or row covers.

Last call for tomato plants! We will be open 10-2 on Sunday. Thanks to all of the loyal gardeners that mobbed our stand the last few days. Be sure to post your tomato pics🍅

Granny Cantrell’s. This tomato is a winner! Family heirloom from the 1940s. Good producer and real old fashioned flavor.

Thorburn's Terra Cotta. This rare gem was first introduced in 1893. Absolutely AMAZING flavor and unique rich color. In the last few years, it is one of our most requested seedlings. You may want to add this to your garden!
