Jeremy Cherfas at Agricultural Biodiversity Weblog has posted 11 blog posts about plants that you really must read, which is the 29th edition of the Berry Go Round carnival of plants. All eleven posts that he points to are truly worth reading, but one that gripped my attention for some time is a tour-de-force on the strawberry. You’ll see what I mean.
A note on the host blog: Agricultural Biodiversity may sound a bit dry to you, but if you follow the blog even for a short time, you’ll see that the issue is far larger than simply keeping agriculture from becoming an industry that produces only a few, almost mechanized, foods. Just skim down the list of categories – there are 46! – to get an idea of the topics covered. Plus, Jeremy’s style, as you’ll see in the BGR carnival, is lively and opinionated.
Thanks for the kind words.
I should add that my co-conspirator Luigi is every bit as lively and opinionated as I am. Maybe even more so.
Right you are, Jeremy. I didn’t mean to slight Luigi!
