[quote:Anonymous Coward 1342532:MV8xNDQ3NzA2XzM2ODY1Mjk3Xzc2QTU5NzQ3] [quote:whiteangel:MV8xNDQ3NzA2XzM2ODU1MjE4XzY5NjM3QTBF] [quote:Texan Buckeye:MV8xNDQ3NzA2XzM2ODU0NjczXzE3NUVDQkI5] Hi everyone! AKO, your post the other day about Monsanto reminded me of something I've been wondering about for a long time. Maybe Shad might know, too, or at least y'all might have a good guess. I know the seed companies have "short season" seeds for areas like Alaska, because of the short growing season. Our season for some veggies are split because of the high heat in the summer. Do you guys think some of the seeds for shorter seasons might work here, if planted early enough? I hope I'm explaining this properly. Our mid-summer is murder on tomato plants. They end up not producing until almost fall and then it's sometimes too late. [/quote] We have the same problem here. 100+ temps on a garden are killers for your veggies. Well, peppers love it. Last year I had wonderful tomatoes, first time ever I managed to grow them and got more than 6 tomatoes. They were planted in an area that was shaded in the afternoon sun. Sure wish this was done on purpose but can't take credit for it. A new raised garden bed will be planted in an area that will only receive sun light until about 1pm then the shade from our fence will take over. Just a thought for ya. I know when we lived in Austin, a lot of gardeners said they did the same thing, planted in areas that their gardens were shaded after 1-2pm. Never tried to garden there as the fire ants were horrible. [/quote] I've known a couple of families in florida that have biodynamic gardens that grow quite well. They only use nonhybrid seeds. It doesn't usually get into 100's like in texas, but the thing is creating symbiotic systems, building the soil and organisms, the plants are hardier and more resistant to disease and even to surviving insects. I haven't seen the post on monsanto, but without getting side tracked into the potential disasters of gom'd food products on human body and health, I would urge people to avoid gmo'd seeds since once the seed varieties are mutated out of existence by gmo'd cross pollination, and only patented gmo'd nonreproducing seeds are left, monsanto or whoever owns the patents, controls your food supply. Seed varieties can also be eliminated over time by campaigns that involve spraying arial herbicides that only gmo'd plants are designed to survive. I remember seeing an article in Forbes Magazine in 2007 most likely, that was on the destruction of most of the lousiana rice crops in whatever year the article was about, due to the contamination from gmo'd rice that was in experimental fields. And at least at one university that was working with the seeds, they had doubled the width of their required perimeter barrier ( of course they and anyone knows the seeds can be spread by other means.)
