Garden 2009


This year I've gone all heirloom. That's right...Seed Saver's Exchange, Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds, and Tomato Bob was where it's at.


I listen to You bet Your Garden on NPR and he had a bee expert on to talk about the bee problem. You know colony collapse disorder as it's been labeled. Well, he said one of the many problems is the new plants thanks to genetic engineering. Old varieties are much better to the health of the ecosystem.


Heirloom tomatoes have become popular on food TV and other shows, but there are so many more. From berries to beans to cucumbers these magazines were full of cool vegetables, fruits, and flowers.
