Mmm--




G.M. morning glories.  Just wait until our hormone-enhanced cows start tripping out on them...

Yep, this is where a very basic mistake was made.   The frankencorn is NOT roundup proof, it's "roundup resistant".   So you have to watch your application rates very closely to keep them in a narrow band just strong enough to kill the weeds and not strong enough to harm the corn.   So guess what happens to any weed with a little natural resistance?  




 




But just try to find any "heritage" corn to plant.   It costs twice what the frankencorn does.

So like if you want to buy non-alcoholic gas for your equipment.  If you can even find it--

I need to add to the garden at work. Not sure what they will let me get away with as most of it has to be flowers. I did get some potatoes last year.

Sunflowers are good, if you can keep the bugs out of them.
