Old vegetables are crops that have been cultivated for many centuries. The seeds, passed down from generation to generation, produce robust plants that are perfectly adapted to the location. Such varieties are also characterized by their particularly intense taste.
Nevertheless, they have often been forgotten because they were not suitable for commercial cultivation. However, they are an enormous enrichment for your own garden and kitchen.
This seed set consists of seeds for the following 12 historical vegetables that thrive in any small farm garden or on your self-catering balcony.
You also contribute to this by growing old types of vegetables, as these varieties are preserved in their diversity.
