The importance of planting heirloom seeds is to stop plants from going extinct. There are many plants that have been a part of our heritage and cultures that are a very important part of many lives. Heirloom gardening is the only way to keep these plants alive.
There are basically three different types of seeds. F1, bio-engineered and heirloom. F1 are first generation hybrid seeds that have been hand pollinated, often sterile and hold a patten by mainly large national seed companies. Bio-engineered seeds are your hybrid seeds that are most common when you buy seeds at most garden centers, department stores and wholesale suppliers.
The genetics of these seeds have been altered for specific needs, like the most common being commercial purposes. The third kind of seed is the heirloom. These are seeds that have a history behind them. They are a seed that has been past down through generations. They are a true plant, open pollinated and reproduce directly from a parent plant, creating the same year after year as its parent.
Organic heirloom gardening is becoming more popular with the home gardener. It is a method of gardening that is healthy and chemical free, being both safer for you and the environment. Keeping this method of gardening alive is very important. Without heirloom plants being grow, more and more varieties of flowers, fruits, herbs and vegetables will be going extinct.
Your help is needed as a gardener to keep the past alive and plant with heirloom seeds.
A environment friendly and healthy way of gardening. Organic Gardening is away of gardening in harmony with nature. Growing a healthy and productive crop in a way that is healthier for both you and the environment.
