Seedy Essays and Planty Prose

I don’t know if there’s a topic on this, but I thought it would be neat to have a collection of the interesting essays that are out there by folks in the plant-breeding and plant-protecting and seed-thinking spheres. I periodically read through these for inspiration, succor, and solidarity in a world where most folks around me don’t even have a garden, much less save seeds, much less breed plants, much less care about something like a landrace, haha.

Here’s some of my favorite haunts. What are yours?
