Holden Thorp, the editor-in-chief of Science Magazine should know what a "scientist" is -- and isn't. He does not. "Science Creep Is A Menace" from @henryimiller acsh.org/news/2024/04/2…
It’s unusual for domesticated crops to persist in the wild. Imagine my surprise when told of this naturalized population of two type of potato in Argyll Scotland. Uncultivated they thrive in this bank near the coast. My brother harvests some new potatoes & fir apples every year!

A homeotic mutation... Wild roses have five petals. Ornamental roses with many petals have a "homeotic mutation". This mutation in a controller gene, selected by gardeners thousands of years ago, converts anthers to petals "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet"
In an urban dominated world, farmers views about farming are …. inconvenient
When I was about 5, my Grandfather gave me a packet of seeds of red raddish, just like these. My parents marked out a little patch of vegetable garden for me. Those quick-growing seeds hooked me on veg gardening for good!
Since the USDA certifies "Organic" production, why not certified veterinary homeopathy, or astrology to determine crop planting dates?
