Re: Seeking sources re. seeding native vegetables

Please don't be offended at this simplistic reply, but sometimes
researchers overlook the obvious. Have you checked Native
Seeds/SEARCH? They're online at www.nativeseeds.org . They have many
varieties of beans, corn, squash and chiles that may or may not be
indigenous to the Southwest. I don't know whether Proboscidea are native,
but I'd guess they are. Amaranth, sunflowers ant tomatillo probably are
native too. They also sell "Food Plants of the Sonoran Desert" for $75.
Hi all,
I'm looking for sources regarding seeding native vegetables for an
upcoming issue of Native Plants Magazine. It is for my quarterly
column--For Every Season. I already have information from one GWA member,
who grows Native American vegetables. Any other sources/replies would be
greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Julie Bawden Davis
