Regardless of whether you have an older or more modern garden, it can be nice to take up cultivation traditions from your area. Partly because the plants thrive in the environment, but also because it is exciting to research the stories that come with the local varieties. The names often provide clues, many varieties are local and have been named accordingly. There are also heritage varieties from other parts of the world that are highly worth cultivating. Look for the marking "Heritage", which can be found on some of the seed packets from Impecta.
