mostly because it's my blog...the first photo is of a bloom on a blue shetland potato plant...the second is carolina horse nettle...the third is blue shetalnd leaves and the fourth carolina horse nettle...i would suppose that the blue shetland is a less "improved" variety of spud mostly because it resembles the wild solanum plant reasonably closely...
this red pontiac at the community garden is an "improved" variety that is grown commercially...it has broader leaves that almost completely lack the rounded serrations on the other two plant's leaves...and, since it's my blog, you didn't think you were getting away without seeing some teosinte, did you?
Organic rather than transgenetic. Labor instead of chemicals. Diversity in place of monoculture.

About Me
- fred
- an ex- industrial worker ( the continued automation of jobs, condensing of ownership, plant closings, trade wars, and degradation of living standards here has rendered me a former industrial worker...now just part-time lumpen proletariat) and university student (everyone needs a hobby...my hobbies have evolved and, to keep things straight, i have left my formal student career behind for reasons that are too detailed to delve into here...continuing to be a student of life however and not adverse to learning...stasis is death ) sliding down the back side of middle age...a social loner with collectivist leanings...explain that.
