Talk:Heirloom Crop/@comment-3210401-20101115044923

In real farming/gardening there is an entire class of seeds known as "heirloom" seeds. Generally these are older varieties, some of which can be traced back hundreds of years. FarmVille's naming of the heirloom carrot has nothing to do with the fact that it required a previous mastery but that it is another variety of carrot seed - just like there are pink and white roses, different types of squash, etc. So, having said that, this article needs a different name other than "heirloom crops". And, yes, there really are purple/maroon carrots! http://www.carrotmuseum.co.uk/maroon.html
