Did you know that grafting plants is a clever technique to get strong and healthy plants? 🌱 Grafting involves combining the stems of two different tomato plants: the rootstock and the graft. The rootstock comes from a strong, disease-resistant plant, while the graft comes from a tomato plant with the desired flavor or fruit. 🍅 This process combines the advantages of both plants: the robustness of the rootstock and the flavor and yield of the graft. ✅ As a result, you get tomato plants that are more disease-resistant, grow faster, and often produce more and tastier vegetables.   #plants #grafting #tomatoplants #fruit #fruitcrops #horticulture #vegetables

👨🎓📈🧬🌾🍺💚#agrobiodiversity for #agroecosystem - #beer #piwo - Maris Otter - 1965 – 2021 – 56 years old cultivar – of malting barley ... The SUCCESS STORY ! 🌾🍺💚 "The success of Maris Otter is threefold. 1. The only barley variety ever bred for its brewing capabilities 2. Maris Otter is only grown in England – only the malt is exported 3. The variety is over 50 years old, making it unique amongst malt varieties Dr GDH Bell bred Maris Otter in Cambridge in 1965 - with the express purpose of producing a barley variety that would give consistently high quality malt for the cask conditioned ale market. It was bred by crossing the two varieties Proctor and Pioneer and it soon became the foundation of the finest English cask conditioned ales. After many years of being the most widely grown malting barley, cross pollination and use of uncertified seed bought about the decline of the variety. Maltsters find that Maris Otter is easier to malt than some modern varieties. It matures quickly after harvest, there are no dormancy problems and the thin skins absorb water easily, giving no processing difficulties. Brewers like Maris Otter malt because it is easy to handle and very ‘forgiving’ in the brew house and more importantly, is perceived to add the unique Maris Otter flavour to the beer which is much favoured over malt from modern varieties which are grown for yield and ease of production for the grower."

Berries, by definition, have their seeds on the inside, whilst you can see just by looking at a strawberry that they hold their seeds on the outside. However, the seeds in a banana are so tiny we don’t really notice they are there, but they are – putting them firmly in the ‘berry’ family! A true berry is a fleshy fruit formed from the ovary of a single flower, with a seed or seeds embedded on the inside of the flesh. So botanically speaking, strawberries don’t meet the definition of a berry, but bananas do! These are a few other surprising berries: grapes, avocados, kiwis, currants, tomatoes, cucumbers, aubergines and pomegranates.

Instead of buying your veggies as you need them, plant them. Buy punnets of lettuce you can grow and harvest what you need to eat. The cost of the punnet is similar to that of the vegetable from the grocery. Planting your food ensures you have the supply you need as you need it without paying more. #planting #bestdietsever #michellemariecoach If you enjoyed this video.

The annual crush report is always a fascinating read. The breakdown of percentages of Grape Varietal crushed is my favorite bit of information. Chardonnay continues to lead the charge with the largest percent by weight owning 17.5% of the 3.67 millions tons crushed. Cabernet Sauvignon is close behind with 17.3 of the total crushed in 2023. Both of these leading varietiels saw an increase by more than 75 million tons crushed each. While Chardonnay leads the volume category, it only saw an average increase paid per ton of $41.00 vs Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Sauvignon saw an increase of $186.00 paid per ton paid, on average. 22.7% of the total crushed were “other grape” varietals. Besides the leading varieties listed, which is your favorite grape? #wine #farming #agriculture #california #grapes #chardonnay #hospitality #cabernetsauvignon #winemaking #visitcalifornia #californialiving https://lnkd.in/dBqqA4p3
