A & C pickling cucumber
Chioggia beet

Boutiful Gardens, a California catalog, has lots of pamphlets and books about saving and preserving seeds. I think most, if not all, the seed they sell is open pollinated. Request a catalog. Even if you dont order, you will find a lot of information in there. Carmellia

ButterFly: I too have an interest in history and gardening, which is why I created The Heirloom Orchardist. So here I shamelessly suggest you check it out. The site's new, and we haven't touched on heirloom veggies yet. It's really about 18th and 19th century farming and gardening, although we're using heirloom fruit culture as our launch topic. Please critique.

Here is a link that might be useful: The Heirloom Orchardist
