Queen K Baxter changed my gardening game. Fabulous
You're a National Treasure/Toanga Kay Baxter.
This lady deserves a hug. Soul sister ✌ It is difficult when it feels like so few understand you and this interview felt like a nice rain on a sidewalk in the Sun for too long.
12:20 ❤ Yes! Thank you so much you wonderful Lady ! The whole Earth moves below the feet of conventional chemical agriculture when this point comes out 🌎
Excellent discussion! I couldn't agree with Kay more when it comes to community and connection. So much of this has been lost throughout the generations but strong communities create strong families, strong environments, and strong human connection.
as the global temp keeps going up we might need bio domes to keep not just the seeds alive but the soil and microorganisms they might require to maintain nutrition
someone fund this org properly!
What's the thing she said about the orangics and seed production
As much as i agree with Kay, i also disagree on a few key points. Hybrid is a broad term and was actually the way traditional people saved seeds before the commercial system came along. Creating natural hybrids is how we can keep genetic diversity and resilience alive and for backyard gardeners to keep smaller populations of plants that they can save seeds from. This is my personal experience and what I am working towards. Commercial hybrid plants that are kept for seed are grown in an environment where they are given fertilizers, sterile soil, sprayed with pesticides, and are grown in and under plastic. The seeds are not resilient at all and hence they do not thrive in a home garden without the same treatment. My experience with landrace seeds has been fantastic, growing without all the fuss and now I'm breeding my own so we can grow a resilient food system where its achievable for everyone to grow backyard vegetables

Natural hybrid being the operative word
She said she can't pass it on... why can't she pass it on to other people with the interest in the cause?
