When one is a child, one never contemplates things not being available. Yes dinosaurs go extinct, but that of course is not vegetable and cereal crops.
I was looking at my garden, and while I do not own a pot to piss in, I do have things which are priceless.
One of the secret lives of Lame Cherry is she has germ plasm from some rare commodities in several of which I know I will be the only person in North America growing these varieties, and in others it will be less than five.
I have contacts with the Canadian Government and the United States Governmenta concerning these genus varieties which are open pollinated and not available on the market.
God and I are working on a variety of tomatoe which if it breeds stabilized true this year, it will hopefully be picked up by a company to distribute it after they trial it. The roots of this tomatoe actually reach back into Germany and then crossed into Scandinavia, before God took over and completed what I was attempting to do on His own.
Thank You God.
People never contemplate how hard it used to be to grow anything in America, as plants did not have vigor nor did they do well when taken into new regions. In doing things work for a number of years, I so appreciate the pioneers in this who invested their lives to be taken over by Pioneer, Monsanto and Burpee, and are nor forgotten to the ages except by those who actually know their work and the base varieties they worked with.
I had a number of years of misery as I grew a variety of squash pumpkin as a child and it literally disappeared from America. I contacted the companies and none of the new owners knew a thing of this variety, and nothing could be found in the USDA seed banks.
Finally I came across a breeder who thought they knew what I was explaining to them and sent me some ancient seeds they had, and currently I have baby pumpkin flowers appearing on this variety, which I hope to God is what I had grown, as it made the best pumpkin pies ever and how does now make the best, when that variety is extinct?
In this, from Canada, I have after one hell of a time wrangling things as now the US Regime is all hell bent for leather in import permits and employs at least at APHIS the biggest dumb ass on the planet, who wasted several months of my time in "I'll get back to you on that" when finally something was worked out with Canada and I finally got what only a few people have access to.
I will not mention variety or what I'm up to, but with this if it pans out I can revolutionize an aspect of this crop industry as this is such a different genus within the genus, that it will be perfect for consumers.....and today I noticed baby shoots coming up in 4 of the 5 hills so was most pleased and hopeful in this expectation.
I have an ancient corn I'm working with again as the wildlife destroyed both plantings of this variety. Yes with millions of plants of corn surrounding my plot, the animals zeroed in on this corn, as it is not that Frankenfood poison.
None of this is easy, and it takes years of time, when any deer, rat, hail storm or whatever can destroy years of foundation work. It takes one year for me to acclimate my varieties to my area, and then the second year I get to study the harvest, and if things go well, I get to have a surplus for dreams of a planting.
Two years ago I had two good harvests off of two varieties of corn, I had acclimated, and the rats and mice devoured the entire project, which I had been working on two previous years.
So I really do have gold growing in the genetic material. The tomatoes will be the answer to a definite segment of America, as much as Big Boy changed tomatoes. The nameless varieties are for diabetics and expanding a crop source for consumers, and of course those pumpkins, I suspect already are not quite right, as they seem a bit bushy, and the ones I grew were runners that I remember after a frost looking like scalped heads in the sun as they were that type of bright pink orange.
There is never enough time for this type of work, and satan it seems destroys all of this life forms so quickly. I try though in one of the many vocations I have mastered as a Jill of all trades with no degrees, as the expertise and the doing is the interesting part and not setting in a university, when I can read the same books and learn from the genetic pioneers from my computer.
So many treasures and not a nugget of gold or a donation found for them. I like my plants though as they are serene and allow me to study them as I help them learn to grow in conditions they rebel at.
Americans really need to learn how to grow their own seeds for gardens, and how to propagate things like potatoes, and the storage of all of this. A person's life may someday depend on them as they did not so long ago.
Everything of course looks so lovely now and I have dreams, but I always have dreams until some ass sends some bad thought in a satan vermin destroying my work as I look at dead plants or shattered kernels.
