Good evening friends! How's everybody? Blake is on a quest for some historic European heirloom crops that fit my criteria of my community's past. I have the French, Germans, Irish, Swedish, English, Polish and Serbian in my community in Chicago centuries ago before the 1900s. Here's my list.
1. Gros De Vert artichoke
2. Gortahork cabbage
3. Tippary turnip
4. Irish green pea
5. Red Dutch cabbage
6. Martock or Celtic fava beans
7. German or Dutch black carrots
8. Lemon yellow carrots
9. Red stem leaf celery
10. Bere barley (more of those even if I already have some)
11. Irish black oats
12. Serbian Osmak corn
13. Serbian old melon
14. Serbian sweet elephant ear pepper
15. Serbian white pumpkin
16. Ancient Serbian pole beans
17. Swedish lentil beans
18. German or Polish fava beans
19. Serbian or Slovenian red onion
20. Irish or Kerry blue potatoes
21. More Lumper potatoes
22. Rosscoff cauliflower
23. Oland or Swedish wheat
24. Common Flat Dutch cabbage
25. Serbian white sweet pepper
If any of you have those, please reach me at the Purple Moosage for more info and where to go from there. I'm doing my very best in all of my power to make my gardens more historic and soar again to help people return to their true form and sense of belonging. I want folks to remember their motherlands and ancestors and what they did to make my community great again economically, socially and religiously. Good night!
