#Solar and #RenewableEnergy on #Farms - #UMassAmherst
Excerpt: "What Works Under Solar Panels
Sheep and Poultry: #SheepGrazing is well-established at solar sites, they benefit from shade, don't damage equipment, and manage vegetation. #Poultry also do well. Larger animals require reinforced racking; goats and pigs may interfere with wiring.
#Hay and #Pasture: Shading reduces yields, but shade-tolerant species (#orchardgrass, #WhiteClover) maintain reasonable productivity.
#Vegetables: #LeafyGreens, #brassicas, and some #herbs tolerate #PartialShade. Sun-loving crops should be planted between panel rows.
Fruit: Most fruit crops need full sun. Currants and gooseberries are more tolerant. Start small to observe actual impacts." [Raspberries do well in partial sun]."

@stephanie yes! I didn't like broccoli nor Brussels sprouts as a kid, but then tried putting mayonnaise on them and it changed my mind. Still like them that way, though lots of other ways too. @Jeffrey

The universe seems stacked against brassicas.
I was expecting an army of slugs, however it was cabbage worms that chomped some of my cauliflowers down to the ribs.
They're sneaky bastards so I smooshed every single one I could find and then showered all the plants in neem oil solution.
I have no idea what I'm doing.

Buenas, 🙋♀️
Los meses se acaban y los #LunesDeCestas siguen. 😀
Esta semana, predominan las #brassicas. O lo que es lo mismo, #Coliflor #brócoli y #romanesco 🙆♀️
También tenemos nuestra #berza asa de cántaro. #remolacha y un #nabo.
Unos #puerros, y para terminar de aderezar, #rúcula.Bueno, y el #InviernoMetereológico, que ya está aquí. ❄️❄️❄️
O no...¡Feliz semana! 🤗

🥦Let's talk #Brassicas! Self-incompatibility and long #growth cycles make breeding a long, tedious process, but a new in vivo #haploid #seed induction method that does not require #tissue culture may change all that!

I was discussing vegetables with a coworker (a common occurrence when one works with botanists) and she had never heard about any of these brassica memes. So, courtesy of my lovely coworker who gives me pepper plants and wildflower seeds, please enjoy some brassica oleracea humor :)

I like #brassicas. And grow a few in my garden. Of course, nature being what it is, there are others who like brassicas, and #cabbage too. One is the large white cabbage #butterfly. She lays her eggs in groups, and the resulting #caterpillars go on a feeding frenzy, demolishing occasional plants, but if we like to see these butterflies, an odd sacrificial plant is needed. To me this isn't food waste, but part of the natural World.

I harvested some cabbages because the worms/beetles/bugs are multiplying like crazy & the cabbages are getting ready to bolt. Mulch your #brassicas with #wool. Way less bugs in the plants mulched with wool! #GardeningMastodon #food

You should know that I love #brassicas, in my role as a #Plantscience editor/writer and as a cook and eater of veg.
