I'm pretty sure I inherited the green thumbs from both my grandmothers.
My interest in plants is both botanical and agricultural. I am quite interested in plant breeding, and could see myself living on a farm one day. Also I believe that agriculture is a crucial survival skill.
Here is a selection of gardening blogs that I have enjoyed. They go deep enough into the biology and genetics of plants while also having interesting pictures.
⮕ Joseph Lofthouse, scale farmer advocating a return to simpler and more logical plant breeding practices. I read his book.
⮕ Return to Resistance by Raoul Robinson, a book on how the traditional approach to disease resistance is unsustainable.
⮕ Living Mudflower, an Australian garden blog. I first found him from a post on tomato and potato grafting.
⮕ Alan Kapuler, hippie vibes, but also working towards public domain plant breeding.
⮕ Rebsie Fairholm, independent plant breeder from the UK. Works with peas and wrote a book on potato breeding.
⮕ The Biologist is In, blog from a PhD geneticist, with detailed reports on colour pathways.
