Nice
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
15th comment of refusal. Must have ate too many GMOs.
14th comment of refusal.
13th refusal, I stand by my original comment.
12th refusal, abundantly obvious to everyone you were full of it from the start.
9th comment.
Oh I insulted you.
8th comment.
You sure do hate defending your own words.
"I just want you to address the insult"
No you don't. I've done this before, multiple times. You are extremely predictable. You won't defend what you said because you can't defend what you said. You want to spread disinfo with impunity.
What's happening now is I'm making you repeatably demonstrate to everyone that I'm right.
7th comment.
6th comment where you REFUSE to explain why you're shitting on people who don't like GMOs.
I'm not admitting to something that I never said. 5th comment of diversion.
Haha your comment was removed
Haha your comment was removed
This means I don't have to defend my made up implications now, haha!
That's your 4th comment that doesn't address what I said.
Curious.
All of the ones meant to have pesticides poured on them.
Since you clearly respect the truth so very much why don't you tell the world what you said to me before?
..so you want me to make the same comment again so it's immediately removed?
GMOs come from the same company that created Agent Orange.

Tomatoes can grow back after a freeze
Apparently tomatoes will grow back after a freeze if you don't uproot them. That is all.
'High likelihood' that Texas power grid will be in emergency operations tonight, ERCOT CEO says.
>Electricity demand is forecast to exceed committed supply Thursday from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., according to preliminary data from the grid operator late Thursday morning. The gap between supply and demand will be “more tight than any other day” this summer, Vegas told commissioners.
>The expected tight conditions come due to very high heat, very high demand and the low expected output of wind power in the late afternoon as solar resources ramp down with sunset, Vegas said.
>Natural gas and coal plants, which can underperform or fail in high heat, are seeing “at or near normal forced outage levels,” Vegas said. Grid data showed approximately 6,800 megawatts of natural gas and coal outages as of 11:30 a.m. Going into the summer, ERCOT predicted that natural gas and coal plants would see “typical” outages of 5,034 megawatts.

If you have any recently discovered gardening tips post them here.
- A row of trellised corn makes for a decent wind block.
- Many things go to seed early when the temps get to 100+
- Apparently Hornworms can have 2 generations a year.
- Bees like sweat.
The hot conditions are developing too quickly, and across too much of the planet, to be explained solely by El Niño.
And then, on Monday, came Earth’s hottest day in at least 125,000 years. Tuesday was hotter.
I'm looking for vegetables and cover crops that do well in humid 100F+ weather.
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:
- Okra (Crimson Spineless and Heavy Hitter)
- Eggplant
- Pepper
- Lettuce of unknown variety under a shade cloth.
- Tomatillo
- Watermelon (Black Diamond)
- Butternut Squash
- 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.
Severe thunderstorms are expected during the afternoon and evening
