The majority of GM crops have been modified to be resistant to selected herbicides, usually a glyphosate or glufosinate based one. Genetically modified crops engineered to resist herbicides are now more available than conventionally bred resistant varieties; in the USA 93% of soybeans and most of the GM maize grown is glyphosate tolerant.

93% != None

 

For me:

  • Tomatillos from seed that I saved
  • San Marzano tomatoes
  • A couple Pomegranate trees (supposedly they do well in the heat)
  • Oak tree from seeds I saved (they've been in the fridge)
  • Flameleaf Sumac from seeds I saved
  • Prime Ark 45 blackberry from propagation
  • Bluecrisp blueberry from propagation
  • Cantaloupe
  • Watermelon
  • Blue Hopi corn from saved seed
  • Sorghum-Sudangrass as a cover crop

Curious if anyone has seen this. I'm about 90% done with the movie; there is a specific scene that prompted me to make this post because it aligned with what I believe to be the most effective way to destroy the U.S.

 

"A federal jury in Illinois has found two large egg producers and trade associations liable for conspiring to restrict supply and drive up egg prices"

 

Apparently tomatoes will grow back after a freeze if you don't uproot them. That is all.

 

If you have any recently discovered gardening tips post them here.

  1. A row of trellised corn makes for a decent wind block.
  2. Many things go to seed early when the temps get to 100+
  3. Apparently Hornworms can have 2 generations a year.
  4. Bees like sweat.
 

And then, on Monday, came Earth’s hottest day in at least 125,000 years. Tuesday was hotter.

 

The heat index has been over 110F here in Texas. Obviously it gets hot in summer, but this is a bit earlier than usual.

Leave a comment if you know of any heat tolerant vegetables and cover crops that still grow and produce during excessive heat.

Vegetables:

  1. Okra (Crimson Spineless and Heavy Hitter)
  2. Eggplant
  3. Pepper
  4. Lettuce of unknown variety under a shade cloth.
  5. Tomatillo
  6. Watermelon (Black Diamond)
  7. Butternut Squash
  8. Recently planted Saturn Peach tree is doing ok if I water every other day.

Cover crops:

Sorghum-Sudangrass (I'm using this to cover the ground, produce biomass and to assist with compaction).

Miscellaneous notes:

Lettuce under shade cloth is somehow growing, I figured it would have died by now.

My tomatoes are producing albiet slower than before.

Cucumber seems to have stopped growing.

Jardelle Pumpkin transplants are doing ok with afternoon shade.

2nd planting of Corn tasselled way too early.

 

Seems like every 1 out of 5 comments is some shit about "gay lovers", yet the only source I can find is Fox; and Fox appears to be insinuating without evidence.

Seriously, go read the YouTube comments from any video with Pelosi's bodycam footage and you'll see what I'm talking about.

 

The intro of this video alleges that YouTube is working with the Russian government. Runtime is 1hr 47min
