Heirloom Garden

One thing I want to do when I have my garden is use heirloom seeds. I also want to recover seeds for the next season. I have never tried to reuse seeds. I have looked up how to do it and it seems straight forward.

There are a couple of things I wouldn't have known had I not read up on it but it seems easy enough.

One thing I really want to do is corn. There are a lot of different types of corn and I think it would be cool to try some out. I would like to try strawberry popcorn like the one in the picture. Blue corn, Indian corn and some sweet corn too. There are all different types so each year I want to try some new ones out.
 

I want to do the same with tomatoes. Home grown tomatoes are the best. We only grew some one year but when we did I loved to just sit and eat them. I would put a little salt on it and eat it like an apple.

So now I just have to figure out what different types I want to grow? Does anyone have any favorites that they would like to share? And not only corn or tomatoes but anything in the garden. And if anyone has ever used heirloom seeds and have any pointers on how they recover seeds that would be cool to hear about too. Well thats all for today.
