Do you know that the flowers of the Markies variety of potatoes appear in the first month after Planting? The flowers don't open, and they fall off shortly after appearing. #markies If you uproot a plant at this stage you will see small tubers/stolons at the tips of the roots. #potatoproduction. Is tuber bulking similar to all potato varieties? #capacitybiulding #precisionagriculture

Consider the following tips for a successful planting season, And if you found it insightful, give this post a thumbs up! 1. Peppers and Tomatoes: Kickstart the season by growing peppers and tomatoes indoors. Transplant them outdoors after the frost danger has passed for a bountiful summer harvest. 2. Onions: Depending on your zone, some onion varieties can be started outside or indoors for transplanting. Pick the right type for your climate! 3. Beets: These hardy veggies love cool weather, so sow beet seeds directly outdoors in February for an early spring harvest. beetroot 4. Lettuce: Leafy greens like lettuce also enjoy cooler temps. Choose varieties suited to your current temperature and plant them outside! 5. Peas, however are happy in the cold as they need lower temperatures to germinate. Share these insights with fellow farmers! February is ideal to sow seeds for both vegetables and herbs. Whether you're a professional farmer or enjoy a small kitchen garden, set a great year of harvest in motion! And while you're at it, do give us a follow for more updates like this! #agtech #february #farming #farmersmarket #horticulture #sowing

Growers! Test drive our gear...for free. Our cultivar selection process is laser focused on the intersection of both consumer and grower demands. However, we pass over most of the gear we trial not due to a lack of bag-appeal, but a lack of grow-appeal (flower/plant structure, bud-to-leaf ratio, flowering days, disease resistance, trimability, grams per square foot...the list goes on and on). We also know growers have many options when sourcing genetics. In our best effort to earn your business, licensed growers are welcome to test drive any of our active catalog cultivars...any time...for free.* “You say jump, we say how HiiH.” Current Active Catalog cultivars include: - WIFI MINTS - HIPPIE CRASHER - HOLLYWOOD - CHAPOZ OG - DETROIT RUNTZ - CANDY FUMEZ - BARRY BONDS - DANTE’S INFERNO #8 *Shipping not included. *Offer available for Licensed Producers only in Canada or other legal international jurisdictions 🎥 by @thirteenshots #slips #clones #hippiecrasher #barrybonds #candyfumez #dantesinferno #hiihlabs #cannabisnursery #cannabiscanada

Farmer Simon: Update from one of the pig “pens” (paddocks) 👨🌾 🐖 ___ The flavour from products grown regeneratively simply cannot be compared with the flavour from conventionally raised products. For example, our Heritage Berkshire pigs have been selected to grow more slowly compared to the modern ‘scientifically’ bred pigs that are raised in large sheds and often never see the outside world. This slower growth enables the meat to take on a flavour and mouth-watering juiciness not possible with the ultra-rapid growth required by large-scale commercial pig producers to be profitable. Our pigs are moved to fresh pasture on a weekly basis and have the opportunity to graze the deep-rooted grasses and herbs such as Chicory and Plantain and to dig in fresh dirt to look for all sorts of critters that live in healthy soil. By ‘bringing out the ‘pigginess of the pig’, as said by the legendary farmer Joel Salatin, they develop a deep, rich flavour not found in pigs raised on concrete or in outdoor permanent pens that never get the opportunity to graze lush, healthy pasture. Try it and I’m sure you will agree! www.ferndalefarm.com.au #RegenerativeAgriculture #KnowYourFarmer #PastureToPlate

Kris Kramer-Walter and Brydie Craven from our Te Puke research site on their research into starch storage in kiwifruit canes. By better understanding starch storage dynamics, we hope to be able to compare different cane types across cultivars and link these to differences in floral productivity. In the future, this will provide growers the ability to selectively identify replacement canes for the following year that will ultimately produce higher yielding vines. #plantandfood #smartgreenfuturetogether

Dear 🍅 🥒 🌶 growers, To ensure that young plants grow in height, they are tied up using twine. Two methods are used here: either twisting or clipping. This is so a plant does not collapse under the weight of the crop, such as a bell pepper or tomato, hanging from the plant. This prevents the plant from buckling or tearing, and the crop from losing quality. Twisting and clipping are two different techniques with the same purpose. Which one you use depends on several factors. #royalbrinkman #tomatoes #cucumbers #pepers

Give your tomatoes the best start this season🍅 Starting with the right tools and ordering your crop supplies on time are crucial for a successful tomato harvest.

Growing potatoes can be a rewarding experience. In this guide, we'll take you through planting and harvesting your own crop. 1. Choose the right potatoes based on your preferences and climate. Consider taste, texture, and harvest time. 2. Prepare seed potatoes by cutting them into pieces with at least one "eye" or bud and letting them cure for a couple of days to prevent rot. 3. Preparing the Planting Area: Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil. Remove weeds and loosen soil to 8 inches deep. Test and adjust soil pH if needed. 4. Plant seed potatoes 4-6 inches deep, 12-15 inches apart, cut side down with eyes facing up, and cover with 2 inches of soil. 5. After planting, water regularly and mound soil around stems as plants grow to promote tuber formation and protect developing potatoes from light. 6. Harvest potatoes when the foliage turns yellow. Gently dig around the plant base, avoiding tuber damage. Dry in a cool, dark place before storing or using. Conclusion: Growing your own potatoes is a rewarding experience. Whether you have a large garden or just a few containers on your balcony, follow these steps to successfully plant and grow your own potatoes. #organicfarming #organic #potatoes #sawasawaorganic
