    Very interesting and educational topic we all need to pay attention to !
    PS,, don`t spend too much on those handbaskets MG,, the market may crash !
    I am sure the world will still be discussing this topic after we are dead and gone !
    It seems to be a money maker for some !

    And forgot to tell you KK,, This year has had many problems and most are weather related ! We have 4 apple trees and one very old pear tree which has never failed,, till this year !
    Below zero weather in the winter, not enough rain ? It has never been below zero here in Texas in my lifetime ! Teens ,, maybe and only about a week of that ! Summer drought ! Jet stream is not cooperating with us Texans but at least it has kept the tornadoes away ! There are many reasons some fruits and vegetables fail but there is always next year !
    I can`t grow strawberries at all !

    Well said Beeker - you and I obviously think alike.

    I didn't check in on this thread until late last night since my post which I believe was a mistake. I didn't mean to over step on your thread KK and I think I unintentionally did so. Thank you for your kindness. @Zigs @Tetters - my sincerest apologies. My comments were not directed towards you or anyone specific, and really did come from a good place. It would be a true loss to many many people if you did not speak up and share your knowledge and experience. Please accept my apologies for the miscommunicatioin.

    I think a big ole spotlight just shined on my lack of experience on a forum. ( I'm going to stick to food, and trying to grow stuff)

    Thanks Tetters and I hope I did not offend anyone.:confused:

    You are welcome Beeker :)

    Me too Mart, seeds take a longer time to germinate and germination rate is poor too or am I impatient. Anyway growing seems to have slow down a lot because of lack or sunshine due to frequent heavy cloud cover and thunder storms but the weeds are still growing as aggressive as ever!:mad::dislike:
    You are having draught and we are having excessive rain with flash floods happening every now and then. Good thing is that I had not done any watering for a month :D

    Melody you did not step on my thread but made a constructive contribution. Not to worry I am happy that you commented in the thread.:) Like you said "It would be a true loss to many people if you did not speak up and share your knowledge and experience." Yes I appreciate that you commented.:)

    @Melody Mc. Your new post is appreciated and gladly accepted. I will let Zigs know - he is busy knocking up concrete at the moment for his new shed base.

    All good now then :)

    Thanks all for the kind remarks :like:

    Didn't intend to argue, just wanted to point some facts out to counteract the scaremongering that seems to be going on recently.

    Even had a Greenpeace canvasser get cross with me after he didn't like me pointing out the actual figures o_O

    Go steady everyone and always look at the bigger picture, 5 eons left....
