I'm in Australia and I currently get mine from Diggers Club Australia, which has a reasonable selection of heirloom veggie types and the added bonus of pissing off right-wing conservatives in their Letters Column...
I've also gotten heirloom vegies from Southern Harvest (in Tasmania, at the Salamanca Markets), and from Eden Seeds...actually most of the seed companies that I order from have some heirloom seeds in their catalogues. Or maybe that's just me, instantly attracted to anything with the word 'heirloom' in it.
As to the ones I've grown...well, the pumpkins are going kind of crazy, and while I'm not certain that these ones are the heirloom mix that I tossed into a seedling tray back in spring, chances are pretty good that at least one or two of them are...
I have an heirloom italian eggplant that I'm growing - it's not doing too badly (last year was the Summer Of The Zucchini; this year is the Summer Of The Eggplant).
For next summer, I've managed to get hold of a packet of 'Mountain Glass Corn' which is the brilliantly coloured kernel corn. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it since it's best used for grinding rather than eating, but...I'll work something out.
