Choosing the best seeds for your garden

Now, that you have thought about the location of your garden in relation to the sun, shade, what is likely to grow, and what vegetables you like to eat, it is time to dig into the seed selection process a bit further. There are a lot of seed companies out there to choose from (with plenty on offer) and the whole choosing and ordering process can get quickly overwhelming! Knowing what you want certainly helps to simplify the garden seed search. But in order to find exactly what you want – and what is the best for saving your own future seeds, you’ll have to become familiar with how seeds are labeled.

Heirloom

Seeds labeled “heirloom” are saved from open-pollinated plants, which we will come to in a minute, but what makes each and every one of them stand, is their special value as an edible crop. Passed down through the generations, seeds of heirloom varieties are saved for several reasons:

 

Some consider plants to be of heirloom quality if they have survived more than 50 years. Other heirlooms date back to 100, even 300 years! If you are seeking to preserve cultural heritage in your garden, heirlooms are definitely the number one way to go. With so many varieties available, it will be hard to choose!
