Conspiracy Theorists Think Biden Was Hit With Directed-Energy Weapons During Debate
  • You sure do hate defending your own words.

    "I just want you to address the insult"

    No you don't. I've done this before, multiple times. You are extremely predictable. You won't defend what you said because you can't defend what you said. You want to spread disinfo with impunity.

    What's happening now is I'm making you repeatably demonstrate to everyone that I'm right.

    Tomatoes can grow back after a freeze

    Apparently tomatoes will grow back after a freeze if you don't uproot them. That is all.

    'High likelihood' that Texas power grid will be in emergency operations tonight, ERCOT CEO says.

    >Electricity demand is forecast to exceed committed supply Thursday from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., according to preliminary data from the grid operator late Thursday morning. The gap between supply and demand will be “more tight than any other day” this summer, Vegas told commissioners.

    >The expected tight conditions come due to very high heat, very high demand and the low expected output of wind power in the late afternoon as solar resources ramp down with sunset, Vegas said.

    >Natural gas and coal plants, which can underperform or fail in high heat, are seeing “at or near normal forced outage levels,” Vegas said. Grid data showed approximately 6,800 megawatts of natural gas and coal outages as of 11:30 a.m. Going into the summer, ERCOT predicted that natural gas and coal plants would see “typical” outages of 5,034 megawatts.

    If you have any recently discovered gardening tips post them here.

    1. A row of trellised corn makes for a decent wind block.
    2. Many things go to seed early when the temps get to 100+
    3. Apparently Hornworms can have 2 generations a year.
    4. Bees like sweat.

    The hot conditions are developing too quickly, and across too much of the planet, to be explained solely by El Niño.

    Why a sudden surge of broken heat records is scaring scientists

    And then, on Monday, came Earth’s hottest day in at least 125,000 years. Tuesday was hotter.

    I'm looking for vegetables and cover crops that do well in humid 100F+ weather.

    The heat index has been over 110F here in Texas. Obviously it gets hot in summer, but this is a bit earlier than usual.

    Leave a comment if you know of any heat tolerant vegetables and cover crops that still grow and produce during excessive heat.

    Vegetables:

    1. Okra (Crimson Spineless and Heavy Hitter)
    2. Eggplant
    3. Pepper
    4. Lettuce of unknown variety under a shade cloth.
    5. Tomatillo
    6. Watermelon (Black Diamond)
    7. Butternut Squash
    8. Recently planted Saturn Peach tree is doing ok if I water every other day.

    Cover crops:

    Sorghum-Sudangrass (I'm using this to cover the ground, produce biomass and to assist with compaction).

    Miscellaneous notes:

    Lettuce under shade cloth is somehow growing, I figured it would have died by now.

    My tomatoes are producing albiet slower than before.

    Cucumber seems to have stopped growing.

    Jardelle Pumpkin transplants are doing ok with afternoon shade.

    2nd planting of Corn tasselled way too early.
