Hi @ShaneS - how are your domestication efforts going now? I’ve heard you talking about bunya pine on the podcast and stumbled on this thread after I made a thread about one plant I’m working with: [Domestication of Garlic cress (Peltaria alliacea)](https://goingtoseed.discourse.group/t/domestication-of-garlic-cress-peltaria-alliacea/3228). Not as ambitious project as yours at all, just one herb I wanted to be able to set seed and now managed to do that.

Most of the perennial plants I grow are relatively wild and don’t have any culinary varieties. None of them staple crops, which I know you advocate (and it makes sense).
