Hey folks, welcome back. This is Andy with the Poor Proz Almanac.

In this episode, we're talking with Aaron Parker from Edgewood Nursery, and we're

going to be talking about breeding plants, specifically annuals, and the ideas around what

we should be breeding, why we should be breeding it, and how do we make it a part of our

identity and culture.

So take a listen and tell us what you think.

Aaron. identity and culture. So take a listen and tell us what you think. Aaron, thanks so much for coming on. Can you introduce yourself to our audience if you don't mind?

Sure. My name is Aaron Parker, and I live in Wabanaki Territory, so-called Southern Maine,

just outside of the big city, quote unquote, Portland. So I'm in Wabanaki Territory, so-called Southern Maine, just outside of the big city,

quote unquote, Portland.

So I'm in Thalmiff.

And I am a nurseryman and seed farmer at Edgewood Nursery.

And I have lots of other things, too, that we may or may not touch on, like, I am an organizer for a free-to-pick community orchard called Mount Joy Orchard.

And I do a podcast called Propaganda by the Seed.

Awesome.

Yeah.

Propaganda by the Seed is one of the few podcasts that I have time to listen to these days.

It's one of those things that I'm sure you experience it. It's like you spend so much time doing podcasting stuff. It's hard to sit down and listen to other people do it. But you guys have

a really great list of guests that you've had on. For sure. And I definitely appreciate the

many times you have plugged us on Instagram and such.

We've actually, I think, gained a lot of listeners that way.

Awesome.
