History

  • Denise Salmon received the seeds from her 99 year-old grandmother who got them from a Portuguese neighbor in 1998, the real name of the neighbor is not known. Denise wanted 'Neighbour' spelled the English way, hence the variety name.
  • Denise introduced this variety as 'Portuguese Neighbour', but renamed it to 'Gran's Portuguese Neighbour' in 2007 to acknowledge her grandmother as a seed saver and a seed source.
