Heirloom plants are old cultivars that were once common, but are now only grown by small-scale farmers and home gardeners. Many of these traditional varieties of fruit and vegetables are rarely found in supermarkets and suburban grocery stores, but if you're fortunate enough to score some from a friend's garden, it's a very special experience.

Have you ever grown any heirloom varieties of fruit or vegetables in your garden, and if so which ones? Which varieties do you recommend, and where did you purchase your seeds from?
