The Canola Council of Canada says Canadian and Chinese government officials had a call Monday to discuss the trading conditions for canola seed.
China telling officials here that the current trade in canola seed can continue on a temporary measure, but shipments must now contain less than 1% dockage.
Brian Innes, Vice President of Public Affairs for the Canola Council of Canada says that means that our current trading in canola seed can continue.
“It also means unfortunately that the exports from two of our largest canola exporters Viterra and Richardson remain blocked.”
Saskatchewan produces about half of the Canola grown in Canada.
Innes says one bright spot for the industry has been our domestic processing.
“Our canola processors are turning a record amount of canola seed into canola oil and canola meal. That means that local demand for producers from those processing plants in Yorkton, Clavet, Lloydminster and down in southern Manitoba does remain strong; but the prices they’re seeing are reflective of the challenge we have with our Chinese market. So we remain focused on getting it back.”
Innes says he’d like to see full access to China resume, noting that Canada has only been shipping about 30% of our normal canola seed exports to China.
Rick White, President of the Canadian Canola Growers Association is concerned that we no longer have a Memorandum of Understanding as it ended earlier this week.
White feels the new situation is even worse than the status quo.
“Temporary measure means China feels that they can do what they want, basically, and they systematically rejected all our science and studies regarding dockage levels. So that is quite significant. A significant step backward to have them vocally express that they don't believe in the science Canada has provided.”


I use ffof but there are other soils and I guess better, but I have had good luck with it. Black Gold organic potting soil is one I have to try soon. I add 20% chunky perlite and 1 cup ewc per gallon of soil. I think the ewc is supposed to be about 8%. Mix this up and you have a veg soil. I put seedlings in this with no problems. Just add water. For flower I add 2 tbsp Rainbow Bloom Mix per gallon of soil as described above and mix it up. Up pot into the flower mix and then just water to finish. The Rainbow Bloom contains bat and bird guano, steamed bone meal, sea kelp, feather meal, neem meal and a few other organic things. I used to add dolomite lime but have high ph water so no more. I lower the ph of tap water( over 8 ph) with lemon juice but do not know if it is needed. I had problems with the ph before with different soil mixes and just feel safer doing it this way for now.


A fruity Naga that will leave you weak in the knees
Out of stock
The Cornish Naga plant is stable and high yielding so you won’t be disappointed when growing it especially if in optimum conditions. The pods themselves are lantern shaped with a thick flesh and only a little bit of membrane. The flavour is very fruity so it makes a fantastic hot sauce and is great in sweet and sour dishes.

The per plate cost of veg and non-veg thali in India, which has been on a decline since October 2022, nosed up in May and June 2023, according to Crisil Market Intelligence and Analytics report.
Crisil’s monthly indicator of food plate cost said that soaring tomato, pulses, and staple grain prices have added pressure on the platter. Per plate veg thali, as per Crisil estimates, increased from Rs 25.1 in April to Rs 26.3 in June. Similarly, for non-veg, it is estimated to have increased from Rs 58.3 to Rs 60.
The average cost of a thali was calculated based on input prices prevailing in north, south, east, and west India.
Tomatoes, for over a month now, have been burning a hole in the common people’s pockets as their prices have skyrocketed. They are being sold at over Rs 100 per kg in several key cities.
According to the database maintained by the Price Monitoring Division under the Department of Consumer Affairs, per kilo tomato on average rose by Rs 60-100 of what they were in retail markets in early June. Data showed prices of tomatoes in Delhi rose from Rs 20 per kg in early June to Rs 110 this week. Similarly, in Chennai, Ahmedabad, and Kolkata, three key consuming regions, they rose to Rs 117, Rs 100, and Rs 148.
In the pulses basket, the Crisil report said tur and gram prices have increased 3 per cent month-on-month in June, contributing to the sequential increase in per-thali costing.
Wheat flour prices spurted 9 per cent year-on-year in June, Crisil said.
The cost of both veg and non-veg thalis, however, declined 5 per cent year-on-year in June 2023 due to steep a decline in prices of vegetables and cooking oil — which account for 25 per cent of the total cost of a veg thali — but an increase in prices of cereals, pulses and chicken capped the reduction.
“The decline in thali cost was supported by an on-year decline of 15 per cent in onion and potato prices and 20 per cent in cooking oil prices in June,” Crisil said.
Prices of rice and pulses inched up 12 per cent and 8 per cent on-year, respectively, in June, preventing further decline in the cost of a veg thali.

The latter half of the summer did bring out my sluggy foe and damage was done to many of my young seedlings. A combination of events has made this a very busy year and I am culpable of neglecting my plot. So maybe I deserve this!
However last week I took my spuds out of the ground and was very pleased indeed to find that I had to throw away only one potato because of the dreaded slug munch!
On reflection I am wondering if my decision not to cover my plot over the winter actually worked to my advantage in my war on slug terror. Having the ground exposed to the frosts and hungry birds may have made the difference, at least for the first half if the season. It is a strategy I will try again over this coming winter. Weeds be damned!

Coffee To Remain Most Affected By Droughts
BMI View: Coffee production is likely to be the most affected by the recent droughts in Brazil. Still, the surge in coffee prices has been exaggerated by a recent spike in net speculative positions, and we see volatility ahead and do not excluding a sell-off in prices in the short term. We believe sugar production will also be affected by the droughts but do not expect prices to break resistance at USc18.00-19.00/lb in the near term. For soybean, we believe fears have been exaggerated as impact on yields for the currently planted crop will be minimal.
We believe the coffee crop will be the most negatively affected by the recent droughts in Brazil. However, we highlight that the surge in coffee prices has been exaggerated by the recent spike in net speculative positions, and we see volatility ahead, not excluding a sell-off in prices in the short term. Managed money, a proxy for speculators, increased sharply in recent weeks, according to data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). As a result of this turnaround, net long speculative positions moved from negative territory to a three-year high of 30,000. In contrast, commercial buying remained quite steady. As a result, we see potential for these positions to reverse rapidly if concerns over the Brazilian coffee crop ease.
Warmer-than-normal weather (and occasional droughts) in eastern Sao Paulo and Minas Gerais, the country's largest coffee producing state, could take 2014/15 coffee production lower, especially compared with the overly optimistic initial forecasts from local industry and government sources. Current estimates range from 50-52mn to 58-60mn bags for the coming 2014/15 season; we forecast coffee production in Brazil to increase only slightly in 2014/15 to reach 51.0mn bags. Even with our forecast at the lower end of current projections, we expect the global coffee surplus to expand to 9.0mn bags in 2014/15 and the stocks-to-use ratio to reach 30.7%, much higher than the five-year average of 22.2%. This confirms our view that the recent rally may be overstretched and that prices will be particularly volatile in the coming months.

Just walked through today as I was much too busy to do any work there......unfortunately.
However I thought I'd share this with anyone who's interested......!
I have a copy of "War Time Allotments Pigs and Poultry" (General Editor Mr. Middleton) which cost 1/- (one shilling....5pence nowadays!) in 1940. On page 72, at the end of the vegetable section are some tips for allotment tenders in those dark days of war....here is one....
"Keep your allotment plot neat and tidy, avoid, if possible, ramshackle huts and heaps of odds and ends or any of the unnecessary items which help to make allotment fields eyesores instead of beauty spots. Keep the plot free from weeds and rubbish; keep the edges trimmed and the paths smart".
Such advice does seem strange today when we think of the ramshackle, make-do-and-mend mentality of allotment holders as part of the charm of allotment society.


our deed restriction cmmunity allows only st augustime lawn, a big portion
of front yard was burned out , i think i ruined it of too much fire ants
spread and other pests solutions .
any how, i need to replant almost 300 sq with lawn, i called a couple of
places and the least offer was $250, they will remove the old "dead and
pale" lawn and replace it with new lawn,
my question is: i have never heard of st augustine seeds, i was thinking of
speading those seeds over some good soil top that i can buy
or any other suggestions?


Synlait Milk, the New Zealand-based dairy and infant-formula maker, said it has acquired new land to extend its sustainability and supply chain initiatives.
The company is spending NZD25.7m (US$16.2m) to acquire the farmland located adjacent to its Dunsandel facility in the Canterbury region. The 582-hectare plot “enables Synlait to pursue several strategic supply chain and sustainability initiatives that support Dunsandel’s long-term operation and expansion,” Synlait said in a statement.
It added that the purchase of the land “supports Synlait’s 10-year sustainability targets, which include a commitment to evolve best-practice farming in New Zealand through the company’s Lead With Pride programme”.
Chief executive Leon Clement commented: “Our purpose at Synlait is doing milk differently for a healthier world and this land provides a unique opportunity to pursue on-farm sustainability initiatives and reduce our environmental footprint whilst creating further supply chain efficiencies in our business. We’re excited about this opportunity and look forward to updating you on our plans as they progress.”
As part of its sustainability objectives, Synlait said the new land will give it greater control over water usage, while it is also developing rail access to its “Dry Store 4 warehouse project”. It will also provide opportunities to “evaluate and trial sustainable farming practices”.
“On completion, containerised goods will be transported by rail between Dunsandel and Lyttelton, significantly reducing Synlait’s environmental footprint by removing approximately 16,000 truck movements annually,” the company said.

Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on Friday presented his fifth and last budget before the upcoming 2017 Assembly polls. While experts termed it a populist budget, Akhilesh said it has all the ingredients for the developmental promises made by the Samajwadi Party (SP) government in 2012.
With a fiscal deficit of four per cent, the Rs 3.46 lakh crore budget is the biggest of all the budgets presented by this government and is also 14.2 per cent higher than the last 2015-16 budget allocations. It mainly aims at the agricultural, health, infrastructural, educational sectors besides making suitable allotments of funds for the various schemes promised by the SP.
“Rs 1,336 crore has been allocated for clearing the arrears of sugarcane farmers besides special packages of Rs 1,255 crore for Bundelkhand farmers, Rs 2,057 crore for the 50 drought-hit districts of the state and Rs 4,498 crore for farmers affected by hail storms,” Akhilesh said while presenting the budget.
While Rs 14,721 crore has been allocated for roads and bridges across the state, the budget also made provision of Rs 4,003 crore for the Agra-Lucknow Expressway, Rs 1,500 crore for the Poorvanchal Expressway, Rs 814crore for the Lucknow Metro rail project and Rs 50 crore each for Metro rails projects in Kanpur and Varanasi. A sum of over Rs 1,300 crore has also been earmarked for new schemes which mainly focus on education, health and agriculture.


Plan Your Best Garden Ever
Although the traditional time for making New Year's resolutions has passed, I want to share one with you all the same. This year I'm resolving to grow my best kitchen garden ever and am hoping you'll take the plunge with me. "Best" can mean different things to different people, but for me it means most productive, most delicious, most manageable and most fun. For too many gardeners, especially new ones, those four "mosts" rarely align in a single year. If that's the case, it's often because a garden is lacking the most critical "most" of all upon which all the others depend: most organized!
Winging your garden planning can work sometimes, but usually you end up with too little of this, too much of that and more work than you bargained for staying on top of planting, weeding and harvesting. It's for this reason that I'm so excited to announce a new tool for planning your kitchen garden. Through a new partnership with GrowVeg.com, we're offering an online garden planner that takes the guesswork out organizing your garden layout and planting schedule. A year's subscription to the kitchen garden planner costs $25, but you can try it out for free for the first 30 days which for many people is more than enough time to sketch out their garden. There are three excellent reasons for subscribing to the service once the trial period runs out: 1) You can receive regular planting reminders by email if you wish 2) You can save your garden plans in order to consult them in future years which makes next year's planning a snap and helps you with things like crop rotation and last but not least 3) You can help the kitchen garden cause as $5 from each subscription goes to support KGI's work. As you know, we're a small nonprofit and every $5 donation helps.
What's even more exciting is that we're going to be making this planner available to nonprofit garden causes at no cost through a new grants program so that they can benefit from the best tools available to meet their goals. This program launching later this year will also include seeds, supplies, books and small cash grants. More on that in a future post!
KGI is a nonprofit community of over 30,000 people who are growing some of our own food and helping others to do the same.

Ethiopia Bombe Espresso
It. Is. Back!
The long wait is over. The Fresh harvest from Bombe washing station in Sidama is back in stock!
Bombe is actually one of three washing stations owned by the Daye Bensa group. The other two - Shantawene and Keramo are also famous for the quality and quantity of coffee they produce.
As per last year its made up of local varieties setami, mikicho, 72/158, 74/110, but this lot is shade dried natural process, which makes for a slower more gentle drying period lasting 25 days, adding next level consistency to the coffee’s flavour. As you will remember I am sure, it’s sweet and funky with notes of milk chocolate and strawberry.
This lot is from almost 700 smallholders growing coffee at around 2230masl on the slopes of the Bombe mountains (where the name comes from) in the Bensa District.
Since 2018 these smallholders have delivered their best cherries to Bombe. The station itself and the processing is all very well organised and run by a team, which includes Atkilt Dejene a female agronomist who previously worked for Gesha Village and Eyasu Bekele, a processing specialist who worked on the Reko Koba project. All of these things combined is what makes this coffee so great!

From our President and Green Coffee Buyer for Brazil James McLaughlin:
Flor de Março, which translates literally to March Flower, is a bit of an environmental freak. The coffee in Espirito Santo region flowers in November. Nine months after the coffee tree flowers, the farmer will have cherries ready to pick.
But in the mountains of Espirito Santo where we sourced this lot of smallholder coffee, there is a second flowering four months later. While it is common for a coffee tree to have multiple flowerings, it is unusual that they are separated by a four-month period. This gap in time means that the coffee from the March flowering matures under very different climatic conditions than the November flowering. For example, the March coffee does not experience the dry conditions from November to April and it is maturing through the rainy season. For reasons we don’t fully understand yet, these environmental differences have a dramatic impact on the coffee’s flavor. We have cupped coffees from the same farm from multiple flowerings—one from the November flowering and another from the March flowering—and the March flowering is almost always better, and not by a small margin. Coffees from the March flowering routinely outscore their November counterparts by five points or more!
The Flor de Março coffees have some of our favorites from Brazil. Over the past two seasons, we have been working patiently to develop relationships with a small group of family farmers in Espirito Santo who share our commitment to quality. As we expand our project in Espirito Santo in the years ahead, we will have steadily more coffees from what is probably the most exciting and under-appreciated coffee region in Brazil. In the meantime, enjoy this release and celebrate the impact that Mother Nature has on flavor!


CORN HARVEST PRICE ESTABLISHED
Illinois Corn has received word that the harvest prices for corn and soybeans have been determined. This is important for many different reasons, but especially as we head into the election season and the Lame Duck Congress. With crop insurance wearing a bull’s eye in 2013, many people will be watching for this number.
According to Dr. Gary Schnitkey, with whom IL Corn has worked closely now for many months to provide data that support crop insurance improvements, the harvest price for corn is $7.50 and for soybeans is $15.39.
If you’re among the majority of Illinois corn farmers who find crop insurance to be a part of your business plan, this news is relevant to you because of losses you may have felt this year due to the heat and drought. Maybe it supports your decision, or maybe not.
But to those people who want to drag their feet on getting a farm bill done, these numbers can paint a different picture. The picture won’t be of a successful farm safety net that provides for a cost share and risk share arrangement in a public-private partnership. The picture will instead be of a bloated program that Congress should slash with a butcher’s knife.
And a butcher’s knife is exactly what will be cutting away at Farm Bill costs if we have to wait until 2013 to get to work. The fiscal cliff and sequestration actions will demand big cuts. And the crop insurance program is the biggest slice of the Farm Bill that supports farmers.
So, if you think crop insurance is worth fighting for, now might be the time to pick up the phone and tell your member of Congress to pass a Farm Bill in the Lame Duck. If you don’t, this could be the last time you have to worry about something like the harvest price average for corn and soybeans with regard to your crop insurance investment.

Rain at last -wonderful -4 hours of rain last night -the poor parched earth drank it all so greedily and the plants and grass are so greatful for the life elixir. It is wonderful to see the transformation from the tired plants of yesterday. I still have gladioli and caladiums coming up and opening out -can you believe that they still manage to exist and grow when it is so hot and dry.

…from the US Drought Monitor. They state that parts of the southeast “recorded their driest 60-day periods on record.” Walking in the woods confirms the map’s testimony: blueberries, hollies, mountain laurel, hickories — all shriveled and crisped. To see these drought-adapted plants pushed beyond their limits is astonishing. Hopefully they got enough invested into their buds in summertime that they’ll be able to try again next year, but it seems that many may succumb.
The map also shows drought over parts of California, a familiar pattern now. Compared to this time last year, the “exceptional” drought area is slightly smaller. Conditions have been so dry in the western US that the “missing” water from dry soil has caused that side of the continent to weigh less (by 240 gigatons in 2014), resulting in a crustal rebound of up to 5mm. Drought with geologic consequences.
So here’s the obligatory cracked-mud cliché photo. For those familiar with Sewanee: this is the Lake Cheston “beach” area.


For people in variable climates, gardening is often relegated to the spring and summer months. Potted or container plants offer a versatility and hardiness that make them ideal for year-round growing. Year-round potted plants can be planted outdoors in the spring and summer and then transported indoors, in their pots, during the colder winter months. Year-round potted plants are hardy plants that retain their foliage despite changes in light, temperature and humidity.
Green Mountain Boxwood
Green mountain boxwood is an evergreen shrub that has the potential to grow as tall as 5 feet if planted in free soil. When green mountain boxwood is cultivated in a container, it reaches a manageable 2 to 3 feet in height. Green mountain boxwood is known for its small green foliage and its peculiar shape; unlike most small shrubs, green mountain boxwood retains a triangular or pyramid shape as opposed to a low round shape. During planting, boxwood should be placed in a pot with a sandy or clay loam and phosphorus-rich fertiliser to promote initial root placement. Once established, a green mountain boxwood requires little pruning and can withstand winter temperatures as low as -29 degrees Celsius. However, because of the boxwood's tolerance for variable light, a potted green mountain boxwood can easily be transported indoors in extreme weather conditions.
If you prefer a shrub with blooms, a Japanese pieris may suit your needs. The Japanese pieris is an evergreen shrub that produces small cascades of white bell-shaped flowers during the blooming period in the spring; even the winter buds offer bright red visual interest to the plant. Japanese pieris are able to withstand winter temperatures as low as -37 degrees Celsius, but consistent exposure to harsh cold, wind and sunlight will damage the plant. Like many hardy shrub varieties, Japanese pieris plants do not require pruning and are adaptable to indoor and outdoor lighting for year-round growth.
Blue Star Juniper
Blue star juniper is a low-lying evergreen shrub that is full and squat in appearance. The distinct blue tint to the foliage is one of its defining characteristics. A potted blue star juniper is not likely to grow beyond 3 feet wide or tall; blue star juniper does well in low, wide pots. Blue star juniper is one of the hardiest shrub varieties, able to withstand temperatures as low as -37 degrees Celsius and harsh winter sunlight. It is one of the lowest maintenance container plants available; it requires very little watering, fertiliser or pruning. Most blue star junipers do best when left outdoors in the winter so that they have access to full sunlight, but indoor blue star junipers will flourish so long as they are placed in a light-filled location.
Fresh year-round herbs are a treat for chefs. Many herb varieties, including thyme, basil, sage and oregano, do well when they are potted and brought indoors during the winter months. Most culinary herb varieties do well in small pots and full sunlight during the summer; they do require adequate watering and consistent pruning or harvesting to ensure consistent growth. When temperatures drop in the late fall and early winter, herb pots do well on simple window sills that receive even lighting throughout the day. Many herbs prefer the cooler conditions of early fall, so prevent herbs from receiving too much heat or sunlight during the day.


President Jokowi Inspects Sebukit Rama Market in W. Kalimantan
As a part of his working visit to West Kalimantan province, President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo Wednesday (03/20) inspected the availability and prices of basic commodities in Sebukit Rama Market, Mempawah regency.
“Prices are stable. I see, for example, garlic at Rp40,000 (per kg), shallots at Rp30,000 (per kg), premium rice at Rp17,000 (per kg). I believe the prices are good,” President Jokowi said in a press statement.
The President also highlighted that price stability is one of the Government’s focuses to ease the burden of the people. The Government continues to strive to maintain price balance, especially for medium-grade rice, to avoid harming both farmers and consumers.
“We are controlling the prices carefully so that the price of dry unhusked rice does not fall, ending up hurting the farmers. We maintain a balance between the farmers’ cost of production, which must be profitable and the retail price, which must be good for consumers,” the President said.
On this occasion, President Jokowi also provided working capital assistance for traders at the market. The assistance is expected to help traders increase business capital. (BPMI of Presidential Secretariat/AIT) (FI/LW)


While going through pictures the other night I realized I had taken hardly any outdoor/garden pictures so far this year. The boy has definitely been hogging all the camera time, but also I haven't been quite as wowed by our garden as I was last year. Most things have been doing reasonably well, but it has been H-O-T here, and extremely dry, and we've had some pest problems, so in general our backyard isn't quite as tropical and lush as it was last year. Anyway, I went out there with my camera this evening and here's the rundown:
We had cannas in every corner of the yard last summer, but after a very cold and snowy winter, only the ones up against the house made it. Just as well, because we wanted to reclaim some area for other plants. These here are undoubtedly overcrowded, and shorter growth and fewer blooms seem to be the result.
Once again, the "volunteer" sunflowers (from dropped bird seed) have grown much better than the sunflower seeds I purchased. These in the corner aren't as big as last June's roof-scrapers, but some have multiple flowers and are quite pretty. As soon as they are done I want to pull out this garden and all its weedy growth and return it to the lawn - the corner location makes it too hard to tend. Also in this photo: petunias that are suffering from the heat and my failure to dead-head, and geraniums that had to be moved off the fence, also because of the direct sun and extreme heat. They are doing better now with a little shade.
The blooms are spent now, but our astilbes bloomed this year, and they were gorgeous. At the far end of this shot is half our vegetable garden. The other half is in the raised bed that Don built back in March. We started off with zucchini, green beans, and carrots there. The carrots are still growing, the green beans are pretty much done (but we did have enough for several dinners), but the zucchini plant got demolished by... something... Don reported it suddenly and completely wilted while the kids and I were away. We did get one big zucchini before it bit the dust, and I made zucchini bread this week.
Anyway, in the veggie garden shown above we have tomatoes that are doing well despite some mysterious wilt early in the season, and a ravaging by four huge tomato hornworms a few weeks ago. Some green peppers are coming along, as is the basil (I've already made pesto). Glads are in the corner but they don't seem terribly enthusiastic.
The 2010 Most Enthusiastic Flower award goes to this Mum. I planted a bunch of mums in front of our first house in Rhode Island - when we moved across the neighborhood there I dug up this mum and a little rose plant and they lived in pots for the next three years, even surviving the trip to Maryland. This spring I thought I'd clear up some clutter by putting them both in one big planter, not expecting much from either. But this mum completely exploded in its new digs! The poor rose has been completely taken over, and I now feel a bit foolish for combining the two. Also tried a few freesia bulbs in the front of this planter - one bloomed, but they, too, were completely taken over by the mum.
Stayed tuned for an interior tour in an upcoming post - we've made some big changes!


Fedco is a Maine-based worker/consumer-owned cooperative specializing in gardening, farming and orcharding supplies from our warehouses in Clinton, ME. We update our offerings three times a year when we release our famous and award-winning print catalogs. You can download our latest catalogs or request a printed copy.
Fedco started in 1978 as a few friends working together in the winter to save money on quality seeds for their gardens. Since then, we have added a fruit tree order in 1983, garlic and fall bulbs in 1984, seed potatoes in 1985, and organic growing supplies in 1988. Having started with 98 orders (all from Maine!) and a very short operating season our first year, we now operate year round, serving gardeners and growers across the US and Canada. Every year, over 150 workers cooperate to fill over 60,000 orders totaling over $10 million annually.
Cooperatively owned and operated 💪🗳
Since 1978 we have organized our business as a worker/consumer co-operative — one of the few such co-ops in the US! A co-op is an alternative business model based on democratic principles where our workers and customers own the business together. Every owner gets a vote in the big decisions facing the co-op, and has equal access to shared financial information about the business. We work against the growing income inequality in our country. Instead of sending annual profits to a wealthy few, we give excess profits back to our co-op owners (workers and consumers) every year as dividends! And instead of extracting labor from our peers by paying them as little as we can, we instead lift them up by paying meaningful wages and maintaining a 3.5:1 top-to-bottom pay ratio.
We’re here to support you in growing food that contributes to the health and wellness of individuals, families, communities and our planet.
- We strive to keep our prices affordable and our quality high, while ensuring livable wages for our staff and partner growers.
- As a consumer/worker-owned cooperative, we value a democratic, inclusive and equitable workplace.
- We support small and independent growers whenever possible.
- We support equitable and sustainable agricultural practices while acknowledging the past and present seed keepers and breeders contributing to the many varieties we are able to carry today.
And it ain't just talk...
- We were among the first seed companies to sign the Safe Seed Pledge, establishing our commitment to non-genetically-modified seed.
- We actively cultivate a supply network of small and regional independent growers.
- We practice transparency regarding our seed sourcing so that consumers can make informed decisions about their purchases.
- We have an Indigenous Royalties program...
- ... and a Black Benefit sharing program
- We don't shy away from discussing ecological issues with our customers when situations arise that support or threaten sustainability and the welfare of our planet.
- We donate up to 10% of our profits to community groups and organizations whose farm and garden related efforts align with our core values.
- We promote heritage seed and fruit tree varieties, helping to preserve and protect them so they are available for future generations.
- We encourage the development and use of open-source seeds.
- We've been solar powered since 2017.
- For every chestnut sold, we donate $3 to the American Chestnut Foundation Maine Chapter's traditional breeding program.
- We maintain a donation program for order refunds that makes it easy for customers to support organizations and projects like MOFGA, Nibezun, Scatterseed, and the Maine Heritage Orchard.

LONDON — European competition regulators will closely review a potential takeover of Monsanto by the German chemical maker Bayer if a deal were to be consummated, according to a letter released on Wednesday.
The chief executive of Monsanto said on Wednesday that he had “been personally in discussions with Bayer’s management over the last several weeks.”
Bayer offered to pay $122 a share in cash, or about $62 billion, for Monsanto in May to create a new titan in the world of farming. Monsanto, the top producer of genetically modified crop seeds, rejected that offer as too low, but has said it is open to continuing talks about a potential deal.
The developments on Wednesday indicate that a merger remains a possibility.
In a letter to two German members of European Parliament, Margrethe Vestager, the commissioner in charge of European competition policy, said that the European Commission would consider concerns they had raised about the potential impact that a merger between Bayer and Monsanto might have on prices, on the availability of seed products and on research and innovation.
She said competition authorities would carefully examine other deals in the seed and agrochemical sector, including China National Chemical Corporation’s takeover of Syngenta and a plan to merge Dow Chemical and DuPont, then split the combined company into three.
The letter to the German lawmakers, Martin Häusling and Sven Giegold, was dated June 20 and released publicly on Wednesday.
United States regulators would also examine any merger of the two companies.
Bayer is hoping to combine Monsanto with its own pesticide operations, forming a one-stop shop for farmers. The combined company would have $67 billion in annual sales and would produce an array of products including pain medication, G.M.O. seeds and pesticides.
On Wednesday, Hugh Grant, Monsanto’s chairman and chief executive, said that he did not have a formal update on the talks, but he had “discussions with Bayer’s management over the last several weeks, along with others regarding alternative strategic options.”
“We continue to recognize the potential value these types of combinations can create as they accelerate innovation and increase choice for farmers across a broader set of crops, geographies and production practices, while improving the sustainability of agriculture around the world,” Mr. Grant said in a news release as Monsanto reported its third-quarter results.
“That is why we remain open and will continue to actively engage in constructive dialogue to pursue value enhancing strategic options.”
Monsanto abandoned its own pursuit of the Swiss agricultural chemical manufacturer Syngenta last year.
On Wednesday, Monsanto reported a third-quarter profit of $717 million on sales of $4.2 billion. That compared with a profit of $1.14 billion on sales of $4.6 billion in the same period in 2015.


This is emergency response to help people whose properties and food crops have been severely destroyed by flooding due to heavy rains. Over 2,000 ha of crop farms have been destroyed in the in the sub-county. This has affected livelihood of over 12,000 people who depend entirely on farming as their main source of livelihood. Some have lost their shelter and are hanging their hopes on relief assistance. Thus, supporting them with food and non food items will enable them cope with situation.
Budalangi lies within the lower Nzoia basin, a depository zone of River Nzoia. The continuing rains in Kenya has displaced people living in the lowlands and destroyed all the crops that were planted in march, 2018.Over 2,000 families are affected are now in dire need of humanitarian response. The families need food and Non- food items to enable them survive in the current situation.
ICEECO intends to respond to the immediate needs of those affected by providing a minimum survival package composed of food rations, Tarpaulins for temporary shelters, Mosquito nets, household utensils and bedding among others. Besides this, the project will also provide vegetable seeds which can mature within 3 months so that people can plant them in small plots which are not submerged. This will supplement food rations.
The affected people will be able to settle and continue with their lives and slowly recover from the impact of the floods.

Mock orange is a beautiful and fragrant addition to any garden or landscape. With its hardiness and sweet-scented white flowers that bloom in late spring or early summer, it's no wonder why this plant is so popular among gardeners. In this blog post, we'll go over the basics of how to care for mock orange and why it's such a great choice for your garden.
When it comes to planting mock orange, the key is to make sure it's in well-drained soil and in a location that gets full sun to partial shade. Once it's planted, make sure to water it regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. In spring, give your mock orange a balanced fertilizer to give it the nutrients it needs to thrive.
Pruning is an important aspect of caring for mock orange. It's best to prune it after it blooms to shape the plant and remove any dead or damaged branches. Not only will this help to keep your mock orange looking its best, but it will also encourage new growth and better blooming in the future. Read more about Pruning Mock Orange
One thing to keep an eye out for when caring for mock orange is pests and diseases. Two common issues that you may encounter are powdery mildew and aphids. If you notice either of these problems, be sure to treat them promptly to prevent them from spreading and causing further damage to your plant.
In conclusion, mock orange is a great choice for gardeners of all skill levels because of its hardiness and sweet-scented white flowers. With the right care and attention, your mock orange will thrive and bring beauty and fragrance to your garden for many years to come.

Our customers love our grow lights
You really can't go wrong with this for a 4x4 area
Hello, I’m Heathen. Some of you might have seen me running the Smart 8 on my instagram @MyCannabisExperience … there is no question that this light is the absolute best coverage for your buck. Easily the best light in its price range, with results that I’d pay far more for. What has been really great from this company is the support. I run into an issue, and they fix it. I had one small issue. I reached out, and they took care of me. THAT is what keeps me talking about their products.
The Smart 8 is everything you want to flower a 4x4 or a 5x5 successfully. It is a well thought out, and designed light. It’s very bright, with a thoughtful edge toward output. Fantastic light.
I will be looking for another to fill a 4x4 soon and will strongly consider Medicgrow as a contender, and you should too!
Medic growl fold eight best grow lights on the planet I got two of them set at 12 in running 80%. Just smashing it
Epic customer service and the production of my cultivars are breath taking.
Love the light. Hooked up to the controller, adjusting light for every stage without a problem. Buying another one for my other tent.
Very happy, excellent service and very helpful organising international shipping, highly reccommended
I purchased the 320w version and it has been great so far! I am using it for veg and clones and couldn't be happier. If they offer a flower spectrum I would love to throw in my flower room.
Great Service , Quick, Easy, My plants are so happy Perfect Light !
My plants are absolutely loving this this light. Some drawbacks on the timer but overall it is by far the best deal.
very cool light, opened one box and turned it on and it turns out it immediately stood at the maximum, it shines very brightly, it looks high quality, good cables are strong and thanks for putting a European plug (pleases attention) also thanks to manager Rita for the attention and answers to my questions, I wish prosperity to your team! I hope your light will give me the opportunity to earn money) and we will soon come to America to look at this wonderful continent in a new light)
You are a very good and attention-grabbing pendulum, you make good quality for reasonable money
I thought it was better to order from you from America and it was the right decision !
This light is awesome my plants have be so happy since I switched to this light from my sf 2000 for my 3x3 tent
In comparison to my last chinese knockoff "2000 watt" actually about 300 watt lights (2), one light at 40% without bloom was obviously brighter with better cover than both my old lights combined. About to plant some Nanaglue.
So I decided to replace 2 1000w HPS setups with only 1 of these ez8 units. I left my entire setup the same just changed lights. Previously yielding 2lb-2 1/4lb from 4x8 tent. First run with this light yielded 2lb 10oz of higher quality flower. This light paid for itself in energy savings alone over 3 months not to mention the extra yield and better quality. I just ordered another one
Amazing light best customer service. Medicgrow is awesome.
Best grow light design for the money I’ve ever seen.. awesome setup haven’t ran it longterm but is built solid an im sure it will last way longer than I’ll ever use it before upgrading.. similar lights with the same options cost 3x.. will be getting an 880x soon.. these lights are more inline with what you would see in a big commercial op.. they don’t look as fancy like the growers 720 but should perform just like it.. as long as it last an I believe it will.. the biggest difference is the growers is spray painted black & the bars are spray painted gold with a big fancy housing but same basic parts diodes, bars etc. if you want to cover a large area for the best cost an still have a super high end led go with medic grow..
Let customers speak for us
Thanks so much for the great service! I used to replace HPS. After I use this light, it helped my baby grow faster and flower bigger with more Sugar on. I recommend this light to my friend . He got stronger crops than before. Truly appreciate the light. I'm sure it's my top reordering light.
I have been running these lights for 20 hours a day since I got them weeks ago and let me tell you they are absolutely amazing! My plants love these lights and I've only got them at 40% power still.
As far as the customer service, they are amazing people and they went above and beyond to meet my exact needs. we may be on other sides of the world but it sure didn't seem like it! I will be a repeat customer for sure as I expand the grow this year. So hey if you are looking for some new grow lights for indoor plants, look no further I promise you will not be disappointed.
Really awesome flower!!!! Gosh!!! I'm here to rebuy this light. Cannot believe I can have these great lights in this low price. I'll purchase more, I am sure about that!!!!
I was skeptical but it turned out this is the best LED Grow Light combination I have owned
we received a sample and have to say its a great light. We checked the ppfs reading and the spread is amazing. great buy for the price!!


Brace narcissus with canes, string
Published 4:00 am, Wednesday, December 21, 2005
Create supports for paperwhite narcissus before the stalks really start growing. A fence of canes and string will prevent them from flopping over.
Place the paperwhites in a bright room to minimize stem stretch. A cool room will prolong the blooming period.


The cost of the leaf is expected to rise by up to 15 per cent next year, according to exporters.
Prices reached a record level at an auction in Kenya last month, with high quality tea increasing by 36 per cent from January to $3.97 (£2.45) per kilogram.
India-based plantation company McLeod Russel says droughts in India, Sri Lanka and Kenya, coupled with a strong demand for tea, has led to the surge in prices.
The company's chief financial officer, Kamal Beheti, said: "We can see another 10-15 per cent increase next year.
"Prices will remain near the current level for the next few months as the harvest peaks in India, but afterwards they are likely to firm up."
Although Kenyan weather forecasters predict strong rains from October,
Mr Beheti warned it was unlikely to bring the cost of tea down "because of the shortage created in 2009".
Tea production in Kenya, India and Sri Lanka fell by 10.5 per cent in the first half of this year compared with last year.Reuse content


Weeks ahead of the season’s first South African grape exports, South Africa’s table grape industry (SATI) released a strong statement on Sept. 22. Growers are expecting a much better season than the previous one.
Last season was one of the toughest since the post-deregulation era two decades ago. Increases in production cost input, freight costs and logistical challenges placed significant strain on producers.
“Producers and stakeholders have been proactively planning, assessing how to improve quality on the farm and mitigate as much risk as possible during the transportation of the product,” SATI officials say. “Emphasis has been placed on developing and improving collaborative working relationships within the industry to help address the challenges experienced last season.”
To prepare for the coming season, SATI has worked closely with a number of domestic trade organizations to proactively mitigate against these challenges. Specialist technical support teams are helping growers deliver excellent quality grapes.
SATI says ongoing on-farm production improvements, which include:
• Post-harvest protocols and product handling
• Quality and crop control
• Monitoring and maintaining optimal cold-storage temperatures. In collaboration with producers and exporters, SATI is currently developing a cold-chain project to monitor temperatures from the packhouse to the marketplace.
• Packhouses. Producers pack their own fruit in on-farm packhouses as far a possible – a significant capital and resource investment that is indicative of producers’ ongoing commitment to growing and exporting quality product.
Market Access Progress
South African table grape exports have increased year-on-year for the past five years. In fact, over the past four years, exports to the EU have increased by 6% compound annual growth rate (CAGR).
UK exports have remained steady, displaying a 4 percent CAGR increase over the same period. Exports to Canada grew 19 percent CAGR over the last four years. Exports to the USA increased by 40 percent CAGR over the same period and industry is eager to further expand this market.
Compared to other Southern Hemisphere producing countries, South Africa has the advantage of proximity to Europe and free trade agreements with the European Union and the UK.
Further expansion to South-East Asian markets remains one of SATI’s strategic objectives, and significant progress has been made in the Philippines. SATI’s China Market Development Campaign successfully launched two years ago and continued last season despite Covid-19 restrictions in China.
To remain aligned with global market trends South African producers have been eliminating less popular cultivars to plant more new generation cultivars. Global consumer trends indicate a preference towards white seedless grapes, and South Africa’s 2022 National Vine Census reflects that producers have remained in line with this trend.
The coming season
Mecia Peterson, SATI’s market development and communications lead, said Sept. 23 that her group will be releasing its first crop estimate in October. Generally speaking, “the climate has been good for growers.”
South Africa’s earliest grape exports ship in October. There are five shipping areas. In order of their seasonal shipping succession, these are Northern Province, Orange River, Olifants River, Berg River and Hex River.
Peterson said about 75 percent of South Africa’s grape exports are destined for the E.U. and UK India, the U.S. and Canada are other markets.
Based in the Montreal headquarters of Capespan North America, Mark Greenberg, president said his firm imports grapes from South Africa, Peru, Chile for the U.S., and Canadian markets. Capespan ships its earliest African grapes from Namibia to the UK, Europe, and Canada as early as November.


Look correct proper here for concepts for beginning a enterprise and for adding new services to an present enterprise. River rocks can be used to mulch around flower beds, vegetable gardens, bushes, pathways, and buildings. The load of the stones and the way in which they block daylight discourages weed growth. Fairly than resorting to pesticides to keep the perimeters of your property’s options wanting neat, you’ll be utilizing something far much less toxic to the habitat. As a bonus, river rocks are much less inclined to wind erosion and decomposition than wooden mulch, which means that their weed-suppressing skill lasts much longer.

Companies and organizations will always want a top quality advertising group behind them to boost model consciousness and bring them outcomes.
You can arrange flagstones in formal geometric patterns, or in irregular shapes for a extra natural look. We wanted to reach out to let you realize what nice customer support we acquired from Michele at Greenscape Landscape Design Imagining Software. We wanted some technical assist with the software program and Michele was available to answer any questions that we had. Highly recommend this firm.
River rocks are after all an important possibility for flower or plant beds. The contrast between multi-coloured river rocks and fairly flowers creates a magnificent attraction in your garden. Stones maintain warmth effectively and also stop erosion. River rock beds are nice for different kinds of vegetation as properly. If you dwell in an arid setting, river rock beds are perfect for cactus beds as properly. You can also create a extra impartial rock backyard, that permits crops to grow onto them naturally and flourish.
Fall is also a great time to aerate your lawn so that oxygen, water, and fertilizer can simply attain the grass’s roots. You may hire a gas-powered, stroll-behind lawn aerator for about $70 per day. The self-propelled machine will quickly punch holes into the soil and extract plugs of dust. If you’ve got a really large yardâ€”say, more than 3 or 4 acresâ€”and do not feel like aerating it your self, hire a landscaping contractor.
Aerating your lawn is among the things you need to do to have a wholesome, growing lawn. Just as a farmer plows his fields every season, your lawn needs aeration to service the exact same goal. Aeration is needed because of thatch buildup and soil compaction; two issues that may be brought on by various issues, including heavy use of your yard. When soil compacts, your grass cannot breathe or find much wanted vitamins because of the compaction suffocatingâ€ your lawn’s roots.


Why do my sweetpeas, planted in pots, start to die off at the base, once they begin flowering?
Are they actually dying or is that that the lower leaves have gone yellow and growth and flowers have slowed down?If that's what you have, I don't think you're alone - me too and some other threads recently have reported similar.I can only guess it's the weather - I'm growing them the same way I do every year and this year after a good first flush of flowers they've gone to sleep. But, I have noticed some fresh new growth and buds over the last few days.Other than that, I for one don't know..
It's quite common Beverly so don't worry too much. The plants run out of steam mid season as they take up lots of water and nutrients early on, and they'll lose some lower leaves in the process. I have one or two duff leaves and mine are only starting to flower properly - bit later up here. They also get a bit of leaf miner damage, but you can pick off any dead, damaged leaves - it doesn't affect the flowering.They need a good bit of feeding in pots anyway - and regular deadheading to keep new buds and flowers coming.
If you have too many plants in the pot, that can be harder to keep the plants healthy.
Thank you, Fairygirl!
