| Heirloom plants are open-pollinated
varieties grown during earlier periods in agricultural history. A plant
variety should be originated before 1950 to be considered a heirloom. Some
old types of vegetables have been kept alive within communities by succeeding
generations of seed savers. |
| Seed are embryonic plants enclosed
in a covering, the seed coat, usually with some stored nutritions. A seed
is the product of the ripened ovule of seed plants (gymnosperms and angiosperms)
which occurs after fertilization within the motherplant. More primitive
plants like mosses and ferns do not have seeds and use other means to propagate
themselves like spores. Seed also has a meaning of anything that can be
sown - seeds or roots like "seed" potatoes. |

Vegetable Seeds
Heirloom vegetable seeds
are seeds that are handed from one generation to the next - sometimes

garden, you can harveste your own seeds. Many heirloom gardeners feel
that saving their own seed gives them more connection to the entire
process of growth and regeneration. The trend of growing heirloom
plants in the garden has been growing in popularity in Europe and
