Herbs and Vegetables - grow the non-Hybrid way

I have recently learnt about the true importance of growing non-hybrid, heritage varieties of seeds and plants. Ginny from Ginny's Herbs has a fabulous selection of beautiful plants for you to make your garden a useful and enjoyable place to be. By growing heritage varieties we are ensuring that these plants will live on for generations, unlike many of the hybrid varieties that are designed only to last one season (you're not going to be able to take the seeds from these year after year).

Ginny's Herbs supplies seedlings of herbs, old, tried & true non-hybrid vegetables and flowers by mail order throughout New Zealand. Her herbs are GE free, many are much more disease resistant than the new hybrid types, and the flavour of any heritage crop is always going to be something to treasure. Ginny has developed `Old, Tried and True' non-hybrid vegetable and flower seed & seedlings under controlled conditions on her 6 acre property to ensure her seeds do not cross pollinate. Her emphasis is on encouraging others to save their own seed and help keep the best of the older varieties for future generations.

Companion planting also plays an important part of her philosophy, with these types of plants also available.

Ginny also offers advice and recipes for using herbs in remedies for many uses around the home.

I'm an absolute convert to buying non-hybrid seedlings and seeds now. Lets see how many more of us can discover the true benefits of growing heritage plants. Now is the perfect time to get your summer seedlings - one beautiful tomato I am trying from Ginny's range this year is the Silvery Fir Tree. This particular tomato is reputed to be particularly blight resistant, which I am very interested in as the hybrids we planted last year were a complete failure due to blight.
