(2) The day may come under this administration when these repositories are no longer available, and that day may be very soon. It is my understanding that those in charge of our breeding programs have been given notice they will be shut down.

This is not partisan politics, this is madness.

(1) Farming has been a part of humanity for a long time and for a short part of that time, the USDA has attempted to maintain genetic repositories which assist with breeding efforts for more resilient and diverse crops since at least the 1890s.

This is your daily reminder that eugenicist Elon Musk calls you, me, our farmers, children, elders, disabled folks, veterans "The Parasite Class" while he takes hundreds of millions of our tax money annually.

Does anyone have a favorite grocery store apple? We've become partial to the club apple Kanzi™. I just learned it's parentage is Braeburn and Gala. Kanzi comes from the swahili word for 'hidden treasure'. Its combination of crisp, sweet, and acidic that makes it a house favorite. #gardening

It's cold out there! Fig and persimmon protection the old fashion way. A blue tarp, a turtle sandbox, and a sled 😂

I'm hopeful all of them survived -9 F (-22 C) last night.
