Nibbles: Monticello, Breeding, Seed saving, Neolithic cultures, Ube

Monticello has heirloom crops. But not only, lest we forget.
The need for public sector breeders. And their genebanks.

Yeah, what exactly is ube? Dioscorea alata? Ipomoea batatas? Your guess is as good as mine. Whatever: purple is the new orange.
