I added a ‘Seeds’ category to the Resources page today. There are currently three Oregon companies listed. If you know of any more, send them my way!

Home gardeners looking to work more sustainable practices into their growing can start planting with heirloom seeds. Heirloom seeds are the result of seed saving and passing those seeds on, generation after generation. There are various schools of thought as to what constitutes an heirloom — varieties introduced anywhere between 50 to 100 years ago. Two heirloom seed resources in Oregon are the Victory Seed Company and the Territorial Seed Company. Both sites have some interesting reading (check out the historical topics at Victory), planting/gardening tips, and you might even run across a recipe or two. Have you had success with heirloom seeds? Leave a comment and tell us about it!
