Are there any landraces or heirlooms that are extremely rare, that you’d like to see more of? Any one of them would be just as good a place to start as any other this spring.
I have hundreds of Northern Lights Auto seeds (funny story how I got those), so of course I’ll be cultivating those, but I’d love to have a landrace museum.
Yes. Caribbean, South, Central, and North American ( Mexican)Indonesia/Oceania.
Nearly everything available today is from other regions. Its currently easiest to find Asian, Middle Eastern and African landrace varieties, with exceptions.( There are still regions that are not currently represented)
With the way genetics got around in the 60’s and 70’s, i believe some of the purest landrace varieties of long ago, now extinct in their original homes, will be found in another region.
For example, genetics found in Senegal today were allegedly brought there from Mexico in the 50’s.
I lived on the I-35 corridor near the Oklahoma/Texas border in the 70’s and 80’s. Mexibrick was all there was at my economic level then but sometimes it was stout. On rare occasions the real deal wiped us all out.
wow it looks great!
NICE! Healthy beautiful plant!
I’ve gotten10 more Oaxaca packs ready for the next ten takers…this is the first official Freaker’s overflow seed distribution for Oaxaca. Happy 2022!
Ooh dibs.
Yes sir I’d take some dibs on that please
Sounds dibsy man! Dibs!
And thank you!!!
Yes sir I did, thanks for looking out
Three dibsers on Upstate’s Oaxacan?! Dibs if everyone is sleeping on these.
I do still have my 2 buddies that live in Oaxaca I wanted to send their native seeds to if you end up having enough though
Sounds like a worthy cause to me!
Doing it again cause I didn’t reply directly. Not sure if that matters but dibs
Dibs!!! Thank you
