In honor of this week’s Heirloom Expo in Santa Rosa, CA, it felt appropriate to share some great heirlooms (and open-pollinated seeds) that you can grow this fall. If you haven’t started seeds already, there’s still time if you live in warm-winter climates or have a greenhouse in cooler climates. It’s a great time to sow root crops, brassicas, garlic, onions and salad greens. Here are Gardenerd’s picks for fall: Yellowstone and Cosmic Purple Carrots. Vertus Savoy Cabbage, Purple Plum Radishes, Calabrese Broccoli and True Siberian Kale.
Carrot harvest includes (left to right) Pusa Asita, Cosmic Purple, Yellowstone and Red Core Chantenay.
