Today, we talk with Joseph Lofthouse about landrace gardening, which emphasizes the cultivation of locally adapted crops. Lofthouse shares his methods of developing diverse seed varieties, seed-saving techniques, and efficient watering practices in his high desert mountain climate of northeast Utah. He discusses successful experiments with corn, beans, melons, and other crops while highlighting the importance of genetic diversity for resilience and food security.  His techniques just might be worth a try no matter where you live!Previous episodes, show notes, links, product information, and transcripts at the home site for Garden Basics with Farmer Fred, <a href='https://bit.ly/3tnEh9K'>GardenBasics.net</a>.
