    I am profoundly, astonished and embarrassed by my own ignorance. .how can I have lived these 60+ years and never heard of this man? To make matters worse, I have an Alberta Peach out front and a Santa Rosa Plum in the backyard. Thanks Jeff for bringing this wonderful piece of history to our attention!

      History Hunters Can’t agree with you more. Well said! The campaign to Indoctrinate this country’s children didn’t seem to be on the forefront in the 70’s and 80’s like it is today. An all out mainstream assault to indoctrinate today’s youth with Marxism and Socialism! I know I learned of Luther Burbank in Elementary school, of course I was born and raised in Santa Rosa and I can remember field trips to Luther Burbank’s gardens. I wonder if kids in Santa Rosa are still being taught about Burbank gardens or not?

    Dear Jeff and Sarah, 16 September 2020.
    The 84 year old Australian again.
    Marie and I will view this YT video tonight. My wife is a gardener, her specialty are succulents and cactus for about sixty years with thousands plants in her cactus house.
    I will ask her if she knows about the Burbank potatoe. Gardeners are wonderful people. They have what most of us don't have, PATIENCE!
    Thanks for your continuing efforts Jeff and Sarah.

      I was born and raised in Santa Rosa myself. Graduated from Montgomery H.S. In 1996. I live in Portland Oregon now and your right Santa Rosa doesn’t get much recognition. Santa Rosa seemed like it was huge growing up. 56 miles North of San Francisco. Santa Rosa the last city considered part of the Bay Area. Great city to grow up in. Been to Luther Burbank’s home many times growing up. Elementary school field trips and I heard he was buried somewhere in his yard. And he didn’t want a gravestone to mark the spot of his burial. Damn nice city, Santa Rosa California.

    I was taught about Luther Burbank in grade school. I almost forgot about him. I'm glad his home is being preserved - It's lovely! Russet potatoes are my favorite potatoes to add to soups and stews, and I love veggie and flower gardening. I wonder if Mr. Burbank had a hand in the research and improvement of zinnias; up here in Vermont (where growing seasons are short), these Mexican flowers manage to last several weeks. Thanks for reminding me of a guy to whom we owe so much!

And believe me that was a big deal.... Thank you for doing a segment on Mr. Burbank!

    Jeff it’s never safe to assume!! And that is what I did!! There is a Luther Burbank High School in Sacramento on Florin Road between 99 and 5 .. been by it a thousand times and thought he had something to do with the development of Sacramento... as a lot of streets and buildings and parks are named after important people! Was shocked to see he lived up in Santa Rosa with what later was the home of Charlie Brown. Thanks for another in depth History Lesson! And Sara.. I beg your pardon your stepping in Luther’s Rose Garden!🤣🤣
