 403 forbidden message Member 160, 5121 posts SQ 190, BP 137.5, DL 225552.5 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq | I'm sick and tired of tomatoes - getting about a kilo a day. Daikon radishes seem to be growing well in their trays, might plant them out next weekend. Beets in the ground just before the big rain, all seem to have settled in well. Red Meat radishes just gone into a planter, given them a bit more space as they're supposed to go up to tennis ball size. Kohlrabi seem to be growing finally - about the size of a grapefruit. They're the monster variety so I'm going to let them get to roughly pineapple size. First lot of Spanish Black radishes that I planted didn't germinate, but the ones where I pulled the plant out and hung it for a week seem to have produced seeds at around 95% viability, which is great! Fennel was a flop - almost literally. Some have gone to seed, some have BARELY gotten fatter, and look like they're going to go to seed. Sunflower has stopped dead in its tracks - not gained any height, but opened a flower which is growing well. The others are slowly getting taller. | ||

We intend to save some of the seeds fro the biggest for next years crop.

Many are aware something terrible is in motion and a few of us, awake.

How this lead to unaffordable prices for small hold farms to grow food to feed themselves. This then causes dependency on single subsidised crops which makes land infertile due to over farming in non traditional ways. Then you need industrial fertilizer... https://consortiumnews.com/2022/08/18/the-system-is-causing-food-crisis-not-the-war/ There is also a good article linked in that one about vegetarian meats and the further industrialisation of what we eat. The movie Silent Green was set in 2022 at the epoch of a mega famine caused by drought. 50% of US West is in drought. Northern Africa, and Southern Africa is in drought right now. Central South America is in drought right now. Europe is (Definitely f**ked) in drought right now. Lots of industry is stuttering due to lack of water cooling from Aluminium in Slovakia to Nuclear production in France to factories that can't get oils and materials up the Rhine. Food prices rocketing due to lack of traditional river irrigation options and smaller harvest. Bangladesh and Western India are in drought right now. Southern China is facing an extreme heat wave depleting rivers and reservoirs… | ||

I did lift this part of the link bellow: 'These small farmer movements are up against “Big Philanthropy,” such as the controversial Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA), funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which is replicating the Green Revolution corporate-first strategy'. The only way we beat the f00d crisis is to recognise its root cause: the world economic forum or 'Spectre in plain sight' as I like to refer to them. Once weve all recognised whats really happening we can form parallel societies and trade with each other outside of the system, in peace. Alternatively...distopia and more of the new normal. Ive obviously already chosen which side Im on. | ||

Mask it or Casket !! Member 4600, 8166 posts SQ 240, BP 162.5, DL 255657.5 kgs @ 90.5kgs UnEq | Tory leadership: Rishi Sunak criticises Covid lockdown response https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-62664537 To quote: Speaking to the Spectator, Mr Sunak insisted he did not want to blame individuals but said he believes a series of mistakes were made by ministers during the pandemic. He said ministers were not given enough information to scrutinise analysis produced by the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage) - a group of independent experts advising the government. "We shouldn't have empowered the scientists in the way we did," he is quoted as saying. In his interview, Mr Sunak also hit out at campaign posters showing Covid patients on ventilators, saying it "wrong" to "scare people". | ||

I did lift this part of the link bellow: The re-discovery of hunger stones certainly points that drought is a reoccurring event in Europe. It would be interesting for them to study the area around the hunger stones to see how long the drought lasted and how regularly the stones became visible over the centuries while the water is low and the bank examinable. I suspect this would contradict some climate science orthodoxy about this being a one off climate crisis. Unfortunately this means any discovery is likely to be screamed down as fake news no matter how good the scientific evidence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunger_stone | ||

Mask it or Casket !! Member 4600, 8166 posts SQ 240, BP 162.5, DL 255657.5 kgs @ 90.5kgs UnEq | Just picked a large gala melon. Was a tad over ripe but the kids all enjoyed it. The cape gooseberries just keep giving and I strongly recommend this robust, high yielding and highly nutritious plant. Been clearing out ready to start again. We have emptied the tomatoes out and what was left was on its last legs and has been composted. I built a brick shuttering ready to pour concrete next week for my distilery shed base. Also digging out footings for a brick shed 10 x 12 which I hope to have built by xmass (tool and garden stuff like netting store). All good really. | ||
