In a first, botanists vote to remove offensive #plant names from hundreds of species

“Some have pushed to restore #Indigenous species names and change offensive ones, such as those in the genus Hibbertia, which was named in honor of English antiabolitionist and plantation owner George Hibbert.

A few #botanists have also proposed getting rid of eponyms honoring humans altogether.”

I must have picked twenty #tomatoes from one #plant over the past two weeks. I wish I had someone to #share them with, because they're perfectly ripe and super flavorful.

My great-great-grandfather grew tomatoes for #survival money after he immigrated from #Sicily. The #FarmersMarket he sold them at is still around and one of my favorite places, but it's in a different place. It turns out that the local #DSA chapter meets near where it used to be.
