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

Pornhub has disabled its site in Texas to object to a state law that requires the company to verify the age of users to prevent minors from accessing the site.

Texas residents who visit the site are met with a message from the company that criticizes the state’s elected officials who are requiring them to track the age of users.

The company said the newly passed law impinges on “the rights of adults to access protected speech” and fails to pass strict scrutiny by “employing the least effective and yet also most restrictive means of accomplishing Texas’s stated purpose of allegedly protecting minors.”

 

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.

This is the local news for north Texas. They're talking about the unusually high overnight temperatures and how it affects plantlife.

 

A large multifamily housing development is in the works for north Denton.

 

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.
