“Part of the responsibility that comes with maintaining a unique collection of fruit and vegetable varieties is understanding as much as we can about each one. To gain this understanding, every summer—in addition to growing varieties that are in need of refreshed or increased stock—we also grow a portion of our collection for evaluation purposes.This year we are growing more than 400 varieties of heirloom seed in our evaluation gardens to collect data on traits such as color, days to maturity, and fruit size, to name a few. This includes evaluating 40 varieties of beans and will classify them as snap beans, shelling beans, or dry beans. We also evaluate how a variety might do in the marketplace, considering taste and culinary usage. “ John Torgrimson, Director, Seed Savers Exchange, Decorah IA 59
