What are the best heirloom varieties for biodiversity in my garden?
As a retired biology teacher with a passion for biodiversity, I'm keen on creating a balanced ecosystem in my garden. I've been planting various heirloom varieties, but I'm now looking to expand my collection to enhance biodiversity. My garden includes a mix of vegetables and herbs, but I'm wondering which heirloom varieties are particularly beneficial for attracting pollinators and supporting a healthy ecosystem. I'm located in the Midwest, where the climate can be unpredictable. Can anyone recommend specific heirloom varieties that would thrive here and promote biodiversity? I appreciate any insights you might have! 🌼
