I realize it's mandatory for you to get in the last word ... so have at it. Tomatoes can grow and survive in 90 degree heat anywhere in the US. We've had plenty of them again this summer and just had the 4th hottest August on record. Air temps above 90 much of the time. Why do you refuse to deal with FACTS? My wife is still up in Maine and I need not bother her with your drivel. As for you suggesting she's an "alleged" master gardener ... hate to tell you but she's taught courses down here in SC as part of Clemson's extension program in Master Gardening techniques. As you did with Title I funding you continue to dig a deeper hole. Go dazzle me and others with some cut & paste gibberish! And be sure you get the last word in, no matter how uninformed it is.
jem, I'm beginning to think he has some very real delusional and mental problems. He doesn't know jack shit about gardening based on his tomato comments.
If you want to believe that understanding the effects of temperature on crops is inane, that's your choice.
Again, how is the heat index calculated? If you have a heat index of 110, as you posted, what does that mean in terms of temperature? If you know as little about this as you do about Title 1, then you'll run away. Or you could just answer the question. Clue: contact the Dept of Natural Resources in South Carolina. Or just keep blowing.
as if your vague partially explained hanging troll statements ... amounted to any sort of coherent message about man made co2 causing crop problems. you put up nothing by amorphous crap... because you have no science showing man made co2 is causing warming.
then stay off this thread unless you can post things of substance rather than anti-intellectual hanging chads.
If I have something of interest to post, I'll post it. If you don't want to read it, put me on Ignore.
Snow, and now rain have ruined this year's crop. Only thing left of value to sell, if the rain quits, will be the canola. The barley and wheat are so flattened that the fields look they weren't planted at all. Unbelievable. I'm not out anything, I rent my land by the acre, but the poor farmer: he's not had but one good year in five lately.
I listened to the BBC, a left wing news source, and back in 2007 they me told all the ice in the arctic would melt in 2013. There was a CONSENSUS that this would happen. It would have been nice if Mother Nature was part of the consensus too.
