For those in the process of ordering seeds for this season, don't pass up the valuable landraces and genetics available via
Native Seeds/SEARCH out in Arizona. Lots of beautiful Native American varieties from the southwest are available there including a couple of nice primitive sweet corns and a ton of beautiful beans and Amaranth varieties. Most of these varieties are very drought tolerant and send out deep roots. We have had some difficulty in growing some of these crops here in the humid and wet Ohio Valley but we have also had some real winners and made some great crosses that have given us the traits which we were seeking. There are lots of "sacred" landraces used for ceremonies available, diversity is also extensive!.
