[@davidthegood]

This was a lot of fun - I was honored to have the chance to join you. Thank you!

[@blakechasteen]

Your landrace bean video brought me to Lofthouse and changed the way we grow everything.

[@pavlovssheep5548]

have you found that the local human population in Alabama has landraced it's self ?

[@Leahslittlepatchofparadise]

I could listen to you talk about gardening all day, the way you speak is so engaging ❤

[@threeblindmice369]

I have struggled for years with keeping heirloom lines separate and did a video on it last year using mixed corn kernels as a visual example. When I discovered Landrace, through David the Good, my whole view has changed. I knew genetic diversity is incredibly important, but had a mental block when it came to my heirloom plants. This year I am starting my second year for landrace corn as well as have intermixed many other varieties of beans, tomatoes, and peppers. I have bought both of your books, thank you both for passing on all this information!

Great interview! David the Good, although I've never met him, is s dear friend. I have your book Joseph, and it's so interesting. Thanks for all of this!

I found Joseph through David as well. I have enjoyed most of David's books and Landrace Gardening. I'm in SE TX and ordered Chaya cuttings from Good Gardens on Etsy. I put them all in a five gallon bucket to overwinter in my kitchen, zone 8b/9a borderline. Fast forward a year and hubby had major health issues, I've had minor mobility issues. An oddly long, cold winter and a drought summer. Now it's fall again and the chaya is still in the bucket but now on my porch. No access to water all summer. I've watered it maybe three times. I guess it'll over winter one more winter in the kitchen before I plant it out. I was telling my aunt about how it has survived despite the abundant lack of care. She said watering it three times is too much work 😂

Two of the most inspiring gentlemen alive today. 🤠 Keep up the good work.

[@pietsnot7002]

Thank you!

[@austintrees]

David is how I found Landrace Gardening

[@cameroncinnamon4722]

This is an excellent mashup!!!

[@jonwright9704]

Awesome interview. David brought me here. Definitely, something to add to my toolbox of knowledge.

[@ladyryan902]

Excellent info.!! I'm a northerner n tried gardening like that 25 yrs ago.failed n started looking at what food grows here central Florida on beach. Guava.prickly pear.avacado.papaya.growing wild.ive acclimated alot of plants over the years.. Thx to both of you

[@executivefunctions173]

LoveLoveLove , Davidthegood

We live in central Florida. Our property is 100% sugar sand or sand dune sand. Horrible to grow in. Just got 8 inches of rain in one storm and half hour after it stopped raining the sun came out, the water was completely filtered through the sand and the temp and humidity shot up in the high 90s and the plants started wilting. Just learned about landracing and were excited to see what will grow here.

[@landracegardening5631]

That sounds really challenging. There's a self paced course that you might enjoy (free) --see goingtoseed.org, and an online community to commiserate with about Florida challenges

[@hilltophomeplace6802]

Absolutely wonderful video. This video is very much appreciated.

[@ivorypetal]

sounds exactly like the same situation i'm dealing with in Fort Worth. we have Limestone 1 ft down and Clay soil with not much else. I'm also growing the long beans, some of joseph's sunchokes, okra, several basil varieties and cantelope ... I'm on 3-6 generations so far. thanks for all the knowledge

[@ivorypetal]

i'm working on my own food forest too in my area LOL. I've been saving and planting my own peach tree pits too and sharing out. love sharing the food!

[@Highlander.7]

Much love and blessings of shalom !!!!

[@katieanneozarkhollowhomestead]

So excited when I saw this interview! I’ve been following David the Good for years, he’s how I found out about your breeding work! I met and talked to you about beans at the Baker Creek Spring Planting Festival. Now I’m starting landraces of a lot of vegetables here in 6a in our frost pocket hollow. I’m especially excited about the huge mix of runner beans I’ve planted. Lots of already mixed varieties from experimental farm network plus other regular ones. I wasn’t able to get any of your runner beans, they were all sold out. I’m excited to add the GIANT Shinshu runner beans into the mix. I’m going to select for perenniality and production in the heat.

[@davidthegood]

That is awesome.

[@davidthegood]

That is awesome.

[@landracegardening5631]

That is fantastic. I hope we'll have a lot more of all kinds of beans in the next round of seeds collected and distributed. We have the promiscuous bush beans newly available at the moment.

[@kevinbane3588]

Peppers cross species quite well David.

While interesting, I feel the discussion around permaculture is off a bit. Permaculture is 12 design principles, not techniques or general organic gardening. Permaculture is not "not-tilling", or mulching, it depends on the situation what is the best technique. So I agree with everything said, I just want to point out that it wasn't actually about application of permaculture or not.
