Open-pollinated vegetable seeds with a history behind them. Pink Brandywine tomatoes from 1885, Georgia Southern collards from 1880, Boston pickling cucumbers, Bloomsdale spinach, Waltham butternut and Red Acre cabbage. Because they are open-pollinated rather than hybrid, you can save seed from this year's best plants and grow the same thing again next year.
Sowing dates matter more than almost anything else in the South. The Florida planting guide sets out when to start what.
