Areas of Expertise
Pest Management, Ornamental Horticulture, Food Crop Systems

I maintain an interest in all vegetable crops, especially minor and specialty types. I work on maintaining genetic diversity in food crops through preservation of heirloom and other open-pollinated varieties. I am involved in the rebirth of herbs as an area of interest, gathering as much information as becomes available as this group of plants explodes in popularity.

Applied studies of vegetables and herbs, involving evaluations of varieties and cultural practices
