More seed for the corn gene pool brought from the maize country on the other side of the pond by my good corn collaborator @yungleaf

I got the privilege to be invited to meet the wonderful team and eat at Blue Hill restaurant at Stone Barns during my stay in New York City and this will stay with me as a marquant and warm memory.
Lovely, dedicated and attentive people. Very generous.

They make magic with vegetables.
And forage and harvest from their own woods, gardens and fields.
You can for example order a drink at the bar from one corner of the land.

I ate on a high table for three and a half hour a menu that was created specifically for me.

#landrace calendulas are blossoming full force. So far this is the most interesting mutation I've noticed. The orange tips are fairly rare, but really it's the mix of short, long, round, and pointy petals that I haven't seen before. Pollinator approved! #bloomscrolling

A cool moth perches on a calendula blossom, they have roughly the same color scheme.

The first of my new batch of #landrace hybrid calendulas. Not all will be exceptional obviously. A healthy but very generic orange specimen. #bloomscrolling

Classic intensely orange bloom with single row of petals and matching center against the background of verdant scruffy leaves of the most delicious green.

Seed packets from all the major vegetable families

First fruit from a test project to landrace melon (Cucumis melo) for Danish climate and my way of gardening. I didn't like the flavor of this one, but the plant was healthy and gave earlier fruit than others. I'm not sure which type this was - maybe a cucumber-melon type that should have been picked early?

Tell me about folks in the fediverse working with #landracegardening, ie. breeding #landrace varieties when gardening, or are in some way inspired by #josephlofthouse

#SweetPotato #TrueSeed came in the mail!!!

It's from one of those shady sellers that claims to have blue strawberries and such, so I'll start the plants inside and do my best to figure out if they're really sweet potatoes, or something else in the morning glory family that's easier to get seeds from. (Sweet potatoes are perennials in their natural habitat and don't necessarily produce seed in their first year.)

My goal with these is to grow sweet potatoes that have some real genetic variety (anything that's not true seed is clonally propagated with uniform genetics), keep them outside in autumn to see which plants are the most resilient against cold, and keep those plants alive (likely indoors in winter) long enough to get second generation seeds. And then keep going. Eventually they'll be a #landrace of sweet potatoes that can handle Ireland's cool climate for more of the year.

If you want to try plant breeding yourself, have a look at Joseph Lofthouse's writing https://www.motherearthnews.com/tag/-joseph-lofthouse/

Interesting theory on why garden plants sometimes get overrun by insects:

1. over-fertilization with nitrogen
- can occur naturally after thunderstorms 🤯
2. plants can neither suppress N update, nor speed up protein synthesis to match
3. N accumulates in amino acid form
4. On which insects thrive

🤔 With a semi-biochem-PhD background, I can't seen an obvious flaw in that. Maybe @sarahtaber can weigh in on this line of argument?

@Zauberin same.

Most likely I'll just be doing #landrace style vegetable breeding https://www.motherearthnews.com/tag/landrace-gardening/ as a hobby. Maybe try to adapt some warmer weather crops to grow in Ireland when I move, since I won't have to worry about cross pollinating with neighbors' plants for those.

Crazy thing I'd do with #land :

Develop a madium to low acid sauce/paste #tomato #landrace by crossing good sauce varieties with self-infertile wild species. #Lofthouse has worked on the latter.

I'm reading about using straw bales as cold frames for cold weather #gardening. I'd love to start a cauliflower / broccoli #landrace, but they're perenials and only cold hardy to -5 celcius and I get -40 rather often. At the end of winter these bales could be used as mulch for the rest of the garden.

First apple of the year (excluding early windfall). We have a James Grieve, an old Scottish variety, that reliably gives us the best apples of the year, every year. I wish we had enough space for a proper orchard! #harvest #landrace
