Very interesting video about water management (he lives in the most arid section of the USA).
I’m not so sure that I do believe that a plant can do that.

I am still clueless as to how-to landrace root crops. With the encouragement of this video, I might try in the fall or winter with carrots.
Yes yes Alexis it’s all about replanting! Works with all root crops, but works also with other biannuals like cabbage! Look what we did in @Bruno’s fields this winter in order to cross his 5 usual strains of ball-headed cabbage: so that was post harvest, we simply dug out some plants which were intact, untouched by mould, and replanted them. Simple, easy. Was in mid-february.
It’s also what I did with carrots in January, after harvesting them all: selecting the best of each strain then replsnted them grouped! That’s it!
Sorry for the delay in replying back to you. I didn’t know that you could replant whole plants, like you crops and cabbage like that and get re-established. I will try that method when we can get planting.
