767: Bugs, Disease, Weather and Animals – A Seed Chat

A Seed Chat with Bill McDorman. – This is the August 2023 Seed Chat discussing the impact that climate change is having on our crops. With all the excitement in the world Bill proposes to get all the diversity you can into your yard, into your neighborhood, into your community. That means more different kinds of varieties of the favorite crops that you wanna grow and more different kinds of crops off the scale. The more genetic and crop diversity that we have in our communities the better.

Seed Chat: Bugs, disease, weather and animals

Is it possible to benefit from a complete destruction of your favorite crop by your least favorite insect? How do we learn to live with the critters that occupy our lands (and were probably there first)? What about the rapidly accelerating weather patterns. What have you noticed in your backyard and how does that get translated to taking advantage of planting at different times that may not be your usual planting schedule? Being flexible and open to “not knowing” says a lot about how to interact with your garden and finding success as even the look of success changes. Come Chat with Us!
