I'm really excited to grow Joseph's muskmelon landrace. I crossed about 20 varieties last season and will be adding his into the mix this year. Tbh I'm jumping on the landrace boat completely. I don't have room for melons and winter squash, or I'd grow those as well. I am excited about growing some landrace lettuces from Frank Morton & I want to try Big Hill which Mr. Lofthouse also created.

I feel like the South is a perfect area to take advantage of the huge genetic variability a landrace provides and I'd like to eventually have all my crops be a landrace in hopes of saving money/time on cides/ferts/weeding/etc. while also having great tasting, productive crops unlike anybody else.
