Anyone do anything with heirloom seeds? Been reading a bit about it. I think it would be neat to grow some old school stuff. Stumbled across a tomato seed that was brought over from Italy in the late 1800's.

Guess it's a good thing our garden was delayed a bit... we have had frost last 2 mornings out on the prairie... was 33 this morning when I left the house and headed into town. My mature pecan tree had not budded yet, but a new one I planted 2 years ago already had small leaves on it... Probably won't go well for it this year...
Might get to turn the plot over again this evening and maybe lay down some rows so my bride can begin planting, but... Old folks at home used to say, "when it thunders in February, it will frost in April." It thundered quite a bit in February round about my place, and especially near the end of the month so I'm bettin' we get a good stiff cool spell round about Easter... they also used to refer to that as the annual "Easter Cool Snap"... Here's hopin'...
