I've been reading threads here for years but it's finally time to sign up.

I've been living in the rural Cascades working with native food plants, practicing small scale agriculture with ever-lowering inputs and doing some breeding work with corn, melons and physalis. I love finding ways to enhance nurturing of the world around me as I nurture myself and enjoying a lifestyle that, as Carol Deppe puts it so well, accepts responsibility for our role as a keystone species.

I look forward to making connections and learning and sharing with you all!

Welcome to Permies, Heidi!

Super curious. What are your Physalis breeding goals?

It sounds like you have a wonderful situation in an excellent place. Best wishes for all your summer projects!

Hi Heidi, welcome to Permies.
Quite northern rainforest i gather.
I'm busy working with physalis too. It's been fun trying to get them more cherry than pine apple.
I cross them with the bigger easier growing yellow ones i got from the going to seed breeders network.
Fun stuff!

Creating edible biodiversity and embracing everlasting abundance.

Perenniality and drought hardiness are two big priorities, I have 5 or 6 visibly different populations that don't look like the regular pruinosas and I'm trying to work out who can cross with whom.
