The Top Advantages Of Choosing Heirloom Seeds

Today gardeners can choose between hybrid seeds and heirloom seeds. What is the difference? Which should you choose.

In this article, we will discuss some of the excellent qualities of heirloom seeds. We hope the information presented here will help you make the heirloom choice.


Sometimes hybrid plants are better producers than heirloom plants; however, that should not influence you to go with hybrids.

Heirloom seeds are more economical from the start because they are simple seed that has been preserved in its original form and passed down throughout gardening history.

When you choose heirloom seeds over hybrid seeds, you are choosing quality over quantity. Heirloom seeds produce fruits and veggies with tremendous flavor.

Experts in heirloom seed say that the developers of hybrid seeds tend to be focused on productivity, and flavor is often lost in the process.

People who currently think of tomatoes as being rather bland and flavorless, for example, would probably be very surprised to taste the delicious, rich flavor of an old-fashioned, vine ripened tomato produced with heirloom seed.

When quality is present, quantity is not really necessary. Who needs lots of tasteless tomatoes? A few really good ones are far more desirable.

Hybrid variety vegetables are also often developed to create veggies that can withstand travel. While this is an excellent quality in luggage, it is not really something most people think of when choosing something to eat.

For this reason, heirloom seeds make an excellent choice for backyard gardeners. If your veggies are only going to be carried a few steps from your garden plot to your kitchen, you do not really need to worry if they can withstand the trip. Flavor should be your number one priority.

In addition to better flavor, heirloom variety seeds produce plants and produce that provide better nutrition than hybrid varieties.

This is another area that the developers of hybrid plants have chosen to sacrifice in order to get greater yields.

For backyard gardeners producing veggies for family and friends, a huge yield is not particularly important. Producing food that will satisfy and nourish yourself and those you love is.

You can save heirloom seeds from one year to the next because they are open pollinated. Hybrid plants are not true to type. This means that if you keep their seeds, the resulting plants will not be strong and healthy.

Additionally, more and more hybrid and genetically modified seeds are becoming the property of huge corporations.

Saving seed is prohibited, and if you accidentally grow some of these plants, you can get in big trouble. Home gardeners are safer in a variety of ways using heirloom seeds.


Another great thing about saving seed is that you can practice selective breeding. You can save the seeds from the individual plants in your garden that perform the best.

In this way, you can develop your own strains and strive to create plant varieties that suit the needs and tastes of your family.


These are just a few of the great reasons why you should choose to plant heirloom seeds in your garden.

If you want to be a true, genuine and authentic gardener growing the very best in foods to care for your family, heirloom seeds are the clear choice.

You will soon discover that gardening is one of the most wonder filled and satisfying hobbies that you can ever undertake!
