First, you need to read good books. To get the most out of those books, you need to talk about them with other people who are also trying to work their way through them.

In today’s post, we’ll cover the Sunflower family, Asteraceae. It was formerly known as Compositae, for reasons that will soon make sense to you. It’s also sometimes called the Aster Family or the Daisy Family.

Asteraceae is a HUGE family (one of the largest), and food crops within it include not just sunflowers but safflower, lettuce, artichokes, cardoons, and Jerusalem artichokes. You’ll also find important herbs and companion plants like calendula, dandelion, yarrow, chamomile, marigold, echinacea, tarragon, wormwood, milk thistle, and mugwort in this family. And many popular cut flowers are in this family too. So join me below the fold to learn more”

Institutional support does not exist to encourage academics to blog or use other forms of social media for their scholarship (yet), so I elaborate on some of the potential professional and personal benefits of blogging.
