Early this month, the Oikos monthly email had a piece on the "neosinte" that Kenny's been breeding. It sparked my imagination but I *really* don't need another project, so I let it lie. Well, today I ordered a set of his unselected kernels.

It's just 100 seeds, so I'll dedicate a small patch away from where I try to grow corn this year and see what it does!

Has anyone else played with this?

An earlier article he wrote about it: https://oikostreecrops.com/neosinte-teosinte/
 
It is an experimental device that will make my mind that most powerful force on earth! More powerful than this tiny ad!
