A few things to be aware of:
Seed is the number 1 way that pathogens, insects and weeds are transmitted around the globe.
Do NOT save seed from unhealthy looking plants. Many viruses, bacteria, and fungi can be transmitted via seed.
Make sure you know the proper sanitation procedures before sharing seeds. For example all tomatoes seeds need to be extracted via acid extraction to prevent transmission of bacterial canker. Pepper seed need to be treated with a TSP bath to eliminate TMV. All cucurbits need to be treated with a peroxide to eliminate bacterial fruit blotch.
Be sure you know 100% what you are harvesting is the seed from the plant. Many weed seeds look identical to many common garden varieties.
Know the basic reproductive biology of the species you want to save. This can help to unintentional outcrossing and mixing of varieties..
Please save seeds from F1 hybrids. Selection from amanteur seedsavers/breeders have maintained/generated some of the most important traits we have. Feel free to make your own crosses introgressing important resistant genes into landraces.
Before sharing carefully inspect the seed to ensure you have no unpleasant hitchhikers in the seed. An observational microscope can help with this.
Since Reagan they have been pushing a "War on Drugs". For those people "Since we are at war killing people is perfectly fine."
Cops shooting an unarmed drug dealer in the back is okay with them. So is using the military randomly kill people in other countries.
I just bought a Win 11 laptop last month for work.
It runs my Linux distro extremely well.
That really is the only logical conclusion.
Profit driven increases from unregulated market consolidation combined with interruptions in the supply chain due to disruptions in trade networks by the orange moron and pals dumbfukery.
Assholes are getting richer by starving kids.
Given the labeling, I would not plant it and destroy it with fire.
International seed law and phytosanitary requirements require specific labeling. This includes a lot, germination, and some others depending on the location. If it was shipped internationally, it also requires a phytosanitary certificate for most species and countries.
Online seed sellers are constantly violating these rules and spreading all sorts of diseases, weeds and insects.
Its more a lag of transporting them to the front. Most of them are moved by ships and it takes a couple of weeks to resupply them when they are halfway across the world.
The build rate of u.s. missles are in the months or even years long timespan.
A smaller fire before the main event. It builds drama for the audience.
Today every Russian business who has goods in the wildberries warehouse is begging for people to buy their product. You know a little fire sale before the fire.
Oh my your poor wife. Send her my deepest sympathies for her trauma. Ironing the sheets...shudder... the horror.
What type of a madman are you to fold a fitted sheet?
Ball it up like a normal person and shove it in the linen cabinet. The wrinkles add character.
My wife's fluffy white dog I drive around with for work. He likes to eat higher moisture corn and cow shit.
For silage corn the entire plant is harvested, chopped up, and packed tightly in a pile and covered with plastic or very large plastic bag. This creates an anaerobic conditions and yeasts/bacteria convert the sugars to alcohol, then acids. This acid preserves the feed for cattle for up to 2 years.
Silage corn is the most common base feed for all dairies and feedlots.
This isn't even the tallest variety out there. There are others that are 3' (1m) taller.
The machine with the spout is a chopper. They are a million dollar gigantic woodchipper. These things are fucking terrifying and you should absolutely stay out the field when they are running. Every so often a deer jumps into them.....shudder.... nightmare fuel.
Early in the season before a corn plant is waist high it takes a guess on how many kernals it can fill. Sometimes it guesses wrong and so it aborts the top kernals to fill the rest.
The entire top of the damn plant turns bright red.
As sugars build up in the top of the plant with no place to be transported to, the upper leaves start to turn bright red and die back.
You may get a bar bell ear or there may be no ear on the plant. In of field of millions of plants a bright red top narrows the search down.
Start getting your pinky in shape with this weird environmental triggered trait. It's easy to find in any corn field (to be continued...).
This right here is 350bu/acre of corn. 113 day variety on an almost pure sand field. Every damn ear looked the same. Look at that beauty, every kernal is huge and dense.
This here is trichoderma ear rot in an organic field. This 100 day variety was chewed on by an earworm. The damaged kernals allowed trichderma to enter and infect the ear. This ear rot produces many toxins and is a big no for consumption.
The twist - Trichoderma is usually a beneficial organism in the soil. It feeds on other pathogenic fungus/bacteria and is applied extensively for biological control.
Although normally a secondary pathogen, it has mutated to become a primary pathogen in both Italy and Germany in recent years.
This here is a genetically susceptible 113 day variety to fusarium kernal rot. This is a nasty little fungus that produces all sorts of mycotoxins that can give any mammal that consumes it a belly ache or even death. It's easily identifiable by the white streaks in causes in the kernals.
This 98 day little minx has a flirty pink cob. It doesn't look like much but it packs quite the wallop. The ears posted yielded 302bu. Medium high ear placement and a fast drydown makes this an excellent choice for grain.
This is pretty little 102 day number with a bright white cob that threshes very easily. It does extremely well for dry grain, high moisture grain or earlage.
The field in this picture averaged 305bu.
Probably the easiest plant to care for once you figure it out.
I water it every month or two. Fertilize it every 2 or 3 years. Redirect the arial roots into the pot when I water.
It gets 3 hours of direct sunlight in the morning.
Every 5 or 6 years I haul it outside in the summer. Then leach the pot with the garden hose to remove the salt buildup. I also hack the plant back to a more manageable size.
It's a butterflybush. Just cut it back to where you want it to be. They are extremely hard to kill.
