Rows of amaranth and quinoa diversity separated by a seed increase on Oregon Homestead Sweetmeat winter squash (C. maxima). Forest in the background.
@IrelandSeedSov @LivTorc Liv, you're lighting up Oregon! Peacevine? One of ours, bred by Dr. Alan Kapuler of Peace Seeds. Sweet Meat? A PNW heirloom, since improved by local n' loved Carol Deppe. Andrew & Sarah (likely the transatlantic seed bridge) locals too. Global peacemaking going OP local, innit?
