Anyway.  Can some of the gardeners on this list point me in the right
direction  for some more period vegetables, herbs and spices that I can 
grow here in mid Ohio (area 5 on the growing map).   I also like lots of 
fresh oriental veggies also. 
 Thanks

  For those looking for heirloom or heritage seedstock or plants try 
looking in the back of 'Organic Gardening', 'Mother Earth News', or 
'Colonial American Homes'.
  'Spring Hill', 'Heritage Seeds' have 'old-fashioned' seeds soemof 
which can be documented to having come over on the boat, though of 
course that is it!! 
 Plimouth Plantation, in MA, and Old Sturbirdge Village have been very 
helpful for me in finding breeders of antique birds as well as plants  

Happy Diggin'
