Peaches spread across North America through Indigenous networks, radiocarbon dating and document analysis show

Spanish explorers may have brought the first peach pits to North America, but Indigenous communities helped the ubiquitous summer fruit really take root, according to a study led by a researcher at Penn State.

[not my usual ‘sort of thing’ to post - as broad as that is - but I found this fascinating; it reminds me, in a sense, of the Incas incrementally selecting corn stock that can handle higher and higher altitudes, in ‘research stations’, although those were a domesticated crop]

@napalousa My peppers took a really long time to sprout on the heat mat, but they finally did it. Today, I am transplanting 56 tomato seedlings. There are so many because I'm sprouting for 2 others, but still...I don't have the courage to not transplant every sprout. Ha. #gardening #gyo #GrowFoodFromSeeds #transplanting #tomatoes #peppers
Transplanted my seedlings this week. 96 wee pots squished in under lights. Felt good to play in the dirt. Still too chilly to do much outside. #gardeninginsaskatchewan, #gardening, #seedlings, #spring, #transplanting, #veggies, #herbs, #flowers, #livinginhope

Dear friends,
As an independent analyst, it's wonderful to be busy these last days. Last week I completed an interesting analysis of construction industry trade show attendees and found that negativity, common in social media, was virtually absent.

#Building, #designing, #growing, #creating no matter your medium, is so very satisfying.
Doing complements being.
