Does this date me? Some of the vegetable names listed as "heirloom" were those we raised in our garden when I was a child! Of course, there are others that predate me.
However, since I'm a big fan of history, I enjoy learning about those called "heirloom" and the stories associated with them. Some of these fruits and vegetables were brought over from Europe by the settlers of earlier centuries. Others evolved through grafting and cross pollination.
I'm researching some of those stories and will write about them here.
What do you know about heirloom fruits and vegetables and their stories of the past? Do you grow them, so have stories about them in the present?
