Prepper Ping - Food Security (A/K/A : Grow Your Own) Personal Growth and Learning Curve !
Personally, I prefer heirloom varieties for flavor, disease resistance, and nutrition, and are proven to be passed down from generation to generation.
I like hybrids for versatility, availability, uniformity size, transport, and productivity.
Truth be told : I like them both !!

tik : truer words have never been spoken !
Ask the Venezuelans how they like waiting in line for hours for a loaf of bread, and whatever scraps remain on the grocery shelves.
When you grow your own, you control the size of your investment of time, money, and productivity. When nothing is ventured or invested, ..there is nothing gained ! Everybody's ability to invest is different than their neighbor

Sadly, our garden capabilities where we now live at in the American Redoubt are extremely limited by the growing season. Trying work around.

I like the heirlooms, because you can save the seeds from your own produce and plant them the next year, in case there is a shortage or delivery problems. We rarely do hybrids.

Hubby and I turned in our seed order long ago and received it. Another thing I usually do, and just did, is to order the half price veggie sampler - 13 varieties for 7 bucks. Some are heirlooms and the rest are regular hybrids that I am familiar with.

I will not mess with GMO crap. I also plant extra garlic and potatoes, so that I’ll have some for planting the next season, and I save the seeds for the heirlooms that we grow.

Mostly we order from Baker’s Creek - headquartered in MO. Sometimes we buy from Johnny’s, Territorial Seed, and Southern Exposure Seed Exchange.
