If they do grow wait until next spring to plant in the ground.


What are heirloom seeds?

Not everyone agrees on what an heirloom seed (variety) is. Some define an heirloom is one that has been grown for a certain number of years or since a certain year. Others define an heirloom as one that has been handed down from one family member to another for many generations. Another classification of heirlooms is "commercial heirlooms," those that were introduced many years ago and have been saved and handed down even if the company that sold them dropped them or went out of business. Though not all agree on exactly what am heirloom is, most agree that heirloom varieties must be open-pollinated. Open-pollinated seeds can be saved from the current year's plants to be grown the next year. Hybrid varieties which are created using conventional breeding techniques of crossing one plant of a species with another of the same species (a tomato with a tomato, for example) can be heirlooms if they have stabilized (produce true to the plant the seeds were saved from) and are open-pollinated. One type of seed that is never classified as an heirloom is a genetically-modified variety. Genetic modification uses non-conventional breeding techniques, most often to inject a particular trait of one species into another (a trait from a fish into a tomato, for example). GM seeds are patented by the companies that create them and the companies protect the patents with vigor. A word about patenting seeds: Some believe seeds that companies create using conventional breeding methods which result in hybrid varieties can be patented. Not so! Though companies attempted to patent hybrids, patents were denied. Only when GM plants started being produced did that change and only GM plants can be patented today.
