Heirloom seeds are more than the promise of next summer's crookneck
squash or jewel-colored zinnias. They're living antiques handed
down from one generation to the next, a rich inheritance of flavor
and beauty from long ago and, often, far away. They are sometimes
better adapted to pests and harsh conditions than many modern
varieties and often simply smell or taste better. ""Gardening with
Heirloom Seeds"" serves as a resource for gardeners, cooks, and
plant lovers of all levels of expertise who want to know more about
finding, sharing, and propagating the seeds of heirloom flowers,
fruits, and vegetables. In these beautifully illustrated pages,
Lynn Coulter describes fifty treasured heirloom species, from
Frenchman's Darling, a flowering herb whose seeds were pocketed by
Napoleon Bonaparte when he invaded Egypt in 1798, to Snow White
beets, an old Dutch favorite that will not stain the cook's fingers
red. Most of the plants included here will grow all across the
United States; a few are best suited for warmer climates. The text
is sprinkled throughout with practical advice from heirloom
gardeners and lists sources for finding the seeds of many old
varieties. Because it also provides ample room for making notes,
""Gardening with Heirloom Seeds"" can be used year after year and
can become an heirloom in its own right - a personal journal to
pass along to the next generation of gardeners.
