  5. The Watermelon Is Innocent

    The knife goes through a seedless watermelon the way an argument goes through a lazy afternoon: no resistance, no interruptions, nothing to spit. Somebody at the picnic table always ruins it. This summer the ruin arrives as a warning passed hand to hand across the internet: every seedless bite is a serving of your own impending death, because a fruit without seeds is a future without planting, and a future without planting is a population that eats only what it is sold. Subscribe to eat, the warning goes, or starve on schedule. The charge deserves a trial. Half of it is theater. The other half is the most important story in agriculture, and the theater keeps pointing at the wrong defendant. […]

  6. 🌱 How many wild edible plants do you know?

    Learning to identify edible and medicinal plants can build confidence, practical skills and a deeper connection with nature. Imagine raising children who know plants by name and understand what nature can provide.

    Start with the plants around you. Learn, forage responsibly, and enjoy the adventure. 🌿💚

  9. Why did 1,000 world citizens bury their underpants?

    Study: Land use is the biggest factor in determining decomposition rates of organic cotton underpants.

    Jennifer Ouellette – Aug 27, 2026

    Excerpt: "A thousand people voluntarily buried their cotton underpants for two months—not to keep the Underpants Gnomes from stealing them, but as part of a citizen science project to map out soil health in 25 countries around the world. The results of this unique experiment were reported in a new paper published in the journal #PlantsPeoplePlanet.

    " 'Our results show that how soil is managed can significantly affect both soil life and soil quality,' said co-author Marcel van der Heijden, an #agroecologist at the University of Zurich. 'Healthy, biologically active soil is crucial for fertility, nutrient cycling and many other #ecosystem services.'

    " #SoilHealth is critical for #agriculture and, by extension, #FoodSecurity, not to mention a healthy #GlobalEcosystem, but it has been declining worldwide, per the authors. One key indicator of soil health is #decomposition rates of complex organic matter, breaking down stuff like leaves, wood, even cadavers into simpler organic and inorganic compounds, releasing C02 and nutrients in the process. There have been relatively few large-scale national decomposition studies involving different land use types, although smaller studies have shown that how humans use a site can significantly affect the soil’s biological diversity.

    "Commercially available teabags are a common material used to measure decomposition rates, known as the #TeabagIndex ( #TBI ). However, Van der Heijden and colleagues felt the teabag index could be improved upon, given that it requires careful handling and specific tools, like a fine-scale balance. They opted for a more playful approach to illustrate soil composition.

    "Prior research had shown that cotton strips could also be used to assess decomposition, so why not engage in a bit of #CitizenScience and ask volunteers to bury cotton underpants for a couple of months, then dig them up and record the results? That’s exactly what the authors did in a national project they dubbed 'Proof by Underpants.' "

  10. It feels like my campaign is moving on the back of a turtle. 🐢💔

    We’re still $16 short of a fish meal my little girl is longing for. 🐟
    My mother’s surgery is still waiting for support — $2,495 remains.

    And to keep our story heard, I urgently need $40 for internet.

    If you can help with even $1, or simply share this, you could make a real difference to us. ❤️

  11. My top pruned Thai chili pepper plant is now bushier than the others not top pruned & it has almost same amount of flowers. Currently there are 19 peppers developing on it. My other Thai chili peppers plants are also loaded with flowers & each one has over 20 peppers on them. I'll do a harvest weigh in comparison, when they're all picked 🙂✌️💚

  12. Beet & rutabaga seeds have been sowed. I'm sowing next bunch of seeds every 1.5 weeks until end of September 👩‍🌾💚
    Sowing my Winter turnips & daikon, next week.
    The beet seeds are from Borden Mercantile. The rutabaga seeds, that look like poppy seeds, are from my friend's garden - she is unsure what variety it is.

  14. Started button mushrooms growing experiment in straw bale, with past due store mushrooms.
    A lot of new mycelium growth in my wine caps bucket.
    Not pictured - the rehydrated chanterelle parts put underneath our large cedar tree & morels that I put at base of one crabapple tree with chipped crabapple wood/leaf mulch with charged biochar.

  15. A still shot of my gorgeous beetroot seeds 😍
    I love seed photos. I love seeds. I love photography. Great, when both lifelong passions are combined.

    My amazing #beetroot #seeds.
    Tapped & saved from excellent mother plants. Watch/listen to video about the mother plants that I harvested these strong seeds from ✌️💚👩‍🌾

  17. Joining my local poultry fancier club!!!

    #solarpunk we think a lot about low waste and #recycling but animals are rarely brought into the conversation as independent agents of waste reduction

    The more people that adopt a couple ducks or a goose in the city is the population of people in the city with a fertilizer store that doesn't rely on big oil

    Ducks were a growing trend until we industrialized #animal meat. For good reason!

  18. #NationalCenterForFoodPreservation - #UniversityOfGeorgia - #Canning #Tomatoes, Introduction

    "Quality: Select only disease-free, preferably vine-ripened, firm fruit for canning.

    Caution: Do not can tomatoes from dead or frost-killed vines. Green tomatoes are more acidic than ripened fruit and can be canned safely with any of the following recommendations.

    Acidification: To ensure safe acidity in whole, crushed, or juiced tomatoes, add two tablespoons of bottled lemon juice or 1/2 teaspoon of citric acid per quart of tomatoes. For pints, use one tablespoon bottled lemon juice or 1/4 teaspoon citric acid. Acid can be added directly to the jars before filling with product. Add sugar to offset acid taste, if desired. Four tablespoons of a 5 percent acidity vinegar per quart may be used instead of lemon juice or citric acid. However, vinegar may cause undesirable flavor changes.

    If a procedure from the USDA Complete Guide to Home Canning for canning tomatoes offers both boiling water and pressure canning options, all steps in the preparation ("Procedure") are still required even if the pressure processing option is chosen. This includes acidification. The boiling water and pressure alternatives are equal processes with different time/temperature combinations calculated for these products. The pressure processing options in these products were not developed for tomatoes without added acid."

  20. A rain festival with no rain: the Indian farmers bracing for a ‘super’ El Niño as monsoon arrives late
    By Words and photographs by Neelima Vallangi

    Raja is normally a celebration of the start of the monsoon, but in the eastern state of Odisha, the rains came so late the seeds were sown under clear skies
