Easy Recipes From The Garden

If you enjoy heirloom or organic fruits and vegetables, such as from farmers’ markets, try planting a seed or two from the produce. I recently planted a handful of seeds from a bag of organic Meyer lemons I bought, dreaming that someday I might have a Meyer lemon tree of my own to grow my own sweet and tart little fruits. Guess what - they have sprouted. Granted, it may not bear fruit for seven years, if at all, but it might still turn out to be a pretty house plant.

Heirlooms are such that the seeds have been saved and passed down from generations, thus the”heirloom” name. As such, the seeds can usually be planted and the plants will generate fruit. For best results, use seeds from self-pollinators such as beans, peas, peanuts, lettuce, eggplant, peppers, and tomatoes.
