Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Science, encouragement, and entertainment
Delightful! Deppe is a trained geneticist, and explains what equations are likely to govern the inheritance of vegetable traits. First and last, though, she describes vegetable breeding successes and failures - some have made it into your seed catalogues, some just make one neighborhood happy.

Breeding vegetables to thrive in your climate and on your palate suddenly sounds possible - given patience - and like a great way to increase, not just preserve, diversity of food crops.
