challenge to each and every participant on this group? Dale, Misha,
Gordon, Douglas, etc.: you all cannot talk about anything which you don't
personally grow, according to these new rules.

sanet-mg-digest V1 #503 1/2 BBacon>> Why don't 'we' (the 'list')
poll ourselves to construct a model taxonomy of garden experience/plant
knowledge, and see how our collective experience informs our interest and
allegiance to particular paradigmatic domains? and we can do an
on-line questionnaire as well.
Good luck to us in this greatest of all uncontrolled experiments, life.

If more gardeners were taxonomists, and more taxonomists gardened, would we
have seed catalogs organized according to taxonomic relations? How would
this be helpful? I only have seen one such catalog, and find it
fascinating:
Deep Diversity, 1998 Catalog of Seeds, $6.00 + Shipping $2.50
P.O. Box 15700, Santa Fe, N.M. 87506-5700

This would help us tabulate our gardening-growing-farming in a common
framework. Predictions, anyone? e,g, Some peoples' harvest would be
others' weeds.
Farmers crops measured in tons, herb gardens in lbs
Farmer species cropped, lower # ; Market gardeners, higher #
Bacteria eating nematodes disadvantaged in high fungal colonized
soils (no-till) (previous postings) ?
