Horticulture's hacker - Luther Burbank's birthday is today



Today we celebrate the birth of Luther Burbank, 164 years ago today. And he deserves a post and much more. Without him, we would not have the Shasta Daisy, Russet Potato, Freestone Peach or over 113 kinds of plums and prunes. Yes, 113! His scientific method was lax, say many scientists, but I say if Frida Kahlo paints you, then you have done something right!
