Kales, a passion. I hang on the coattails of an extraordinary cluster of holistic plant breeders - the folk largely responsible for my bioregion's rep as the 'de facto' epicenter of global 'oleraceae' _and_ 'napus' kale diversity.

Quoted byRT @nick_routledge: 5/ Here, a quick monologue on Wild Garden Seeds’ Ruso-Siberian kale mix, @agrariansharing's mainstay B. napus leaf Brassica genepool.

Everywhere it lands, it tends to stay.Quoted by5/ Here, a quick monologue on Wild Garden Seeds’ Ruso-Siberian kale mix, @agrariansharing's mainstay B. napus leaf Brassica genepool.

This time, I'm with the Community Sharing Program in Cottage Grove, OR, and, as usual, world-class kale diversity figures prominently in the mix.Quoted byAlways a sweet occasion getting the first delivery of winter veggies into my local community food pantry, wherever Spirit lands me.
