define heirloom seeds?
I have a friend who doesn’t want to grow hybrid vegetables, only heirlooms. I told her that some heirlooms are hybrids but it’s not a terrible thing. Can you enlighten both of us?
The term “heirloom seed” is tossed around quite a bit. It’s generally meant to mean seeds that are not hybrid and that have a long history of being grown here. Hybrids aren’t bad in and of themselves, but heirloom seeds can be harvested and planted to get the same type of plant. Hybrid seeds rarely “come true” when the seeds from the hybrid is used for a next generation of plants.
