-after you taste hundreds of tomatoes, separate them into useness categories, look at myriad colors and patterns, figure out the most vigorous and productive, then you may become interested in other levels of nutrition that affect all of the cells in our bodies, that have a broad, wide and underlying significance for our health, that promote protein synthesis and find free amino acids in the juices of common fruits, vegetables, herbs, flowers and seeds, mostly precursors to proteins as a way to look for improvements in nutrition
-the use of genetic discoveries to make disease or herbicide resistance in food plant cultivars casts a large but not insurmountable shadow on potentialities that are important to all of us
-it begins with aging, genetic propensities to diseases, consequences of longterm wear on our cells, organs, tissues and the repair systems for all of these interconnected parts of our bodies and lives under the duress of stress and pollution
-and has to do with human population, the ecosystems that support us, the lack of food productivity in the many marginal, cold, frozen, polluted ecosystems that are part of earth and part of us
-as well as ecosystems like the oceans and the air which are as yet unadapted to many kinds of living creatures
-so one has to consider growing vegetables in the oceans, having ripe fruits and roots float to the surface when ripe as well as plants in the sky carried aloft by microbes that make hydrogen filled living balloons when the sun shines...
-meaning that new combinations of complex genetic systems, combining traits, characteristics held differently by the major groups of living creatures; viruses, archaea, bacteria and eukarya (the animals, plants, fungi familiar to us) expands widely our abilities to inhabit the earth, to adapt to climate and social changes and to have greater respect and admiration for the biosphere we live in
-and then we get to inhabitation of the solar system
-Dylana Kapuler and Mario DiBenedetto have founded Peace Seedlings and sent out their first list this year, 2009. They have been growing seeds organically for several years.
-Peace Seeds retired from seed lists in 2007
-Bi Jihuan, an eminent Chinese agronomist who has been collaborating with Alan M. Kapuler Ph.D. (aka mushroom) since 1993 developed a website for PeaceSeeds.com, a domain graciously held for us by James Lawson, which is ps02.cn
-so Peace Seeds and Peace Seedlings are generationally and somewhat functionally distinct as the transfer takes years and seasons
-the Kinship Maps, as Dylan sez...using ideas for our maps...have been likened by some to fractals
-i see them as bed diagrams, as potentiality for adaptation to the changing eco-conditions, as a way to see the world flora as a whole, as a way of learning more about diversity, about plants that are reps for the major groups for the APGII system which beginning with Amborella has major branches in the Magnoliids or old trees, the Monocots, the core eudicots, the Rosids (1 and 2) and the Asterids (1 and 2)
-not too complicated for 250,000 species
-and entropy decreases under conditions of input of energy
-so organization and integration are a way of storing energy
-which in this case is the biodiversity of life in a garden providing kinship in display, growth and development, specializing in taxa, optimizing the manyness of kinds
