Good morning friends! How are you? I'm looking for more help in acquiring some Irish heirloom crops both from the motherland and in the diaspora throughout the world including in America. I'm concentrating on crops from the 1700s and 1800s from settlers and immigrants. Here's a list of varieties I'm looking for.
1. Tipperary Turnip
2. Gortahork cabbage
3. Uncle John kale
4. Winter Roscoff cauliflower
5. Lumper potato
6. Another type of old potato from the 1700s
7. Irish broad beans from the 1700s or 1800s
8. Irish pea beans (red and white beans) from the settlers
9. Irish wheat or rye
10. Irish garlic or onion from the 1700s or 1800s
Those are the varieties I wanna focus on since they're hard to find and few places in the world have those. Please help me obtain some of those historic varieties to help fulfill my goal to restore my grandpa's past and his ancestors in America so the memories can prolong. Please let me know on this site and we'll discuss more in acquiring some of those in my Purple Mooseage page. Have a good day!
