Tbf in the wild, the plant produces like a million seeds and a few of them develop into plants. In the garden, you plant like one seed and expect this one to grow
Also, wild phenotypes will germinate under a range of different conditions and times, rather than all at once.
Damn! Look at all of those seeds on that plane! No wonder they grow just fine.
The water you gave me had a slightly low pH balance (0.15 lower than my preferred) also did your AC just kick on? I’m allergic 🥹👉🏾👈🏾
It’s not always survivorship bias. Lupins grow everywhere where I grew up, but many people couldn’t get them growing in their gardens until it was discovered that putting the seeds in a bag of sand and shaking it a bit emulates the rocky soil they prefer scratching their seeds which makes them germinate.
Eat the seeds wait A bit. Take A giant dump in an empty plant pot add water.
Additional advantage: Nobody ever will visit you again.
I plant too many seeds. I’m hoping there’s enough genetic diversity that there is a plant in there that wants to exist no matter how much I ignore it. That’s the plant I want on my property. I want it to make the seeds for the next generation. I want the lowest maintenance plants possible. I will plant 25 tomato seeds and hope that one makes it through. If it doesn’t then it wasn’t the right tomatoes for me. But that one that does survive gets to go all the way to fruiting and then ferment in its own disgustingness until I pull those seeds out and save them for next year. Because those are the seeds that I can put in the ground and ignore until it’s time to harvest.
A couple months after I moved in I had a bad feeling about our septic tank. I called people out to check it. They pulled the cap and part of the freaking mortar retaining wall that was the septic tank moved in a way that brick and mortar should not. Fears confirmed.
$7,000 later I had a new septic tank and I had them dig a new leach field into the front yard so it wouldn’t cause problems with the plants and livestock.
I’m all about survival the fittest but at the same time I didn’t want human pathogens in my veggies in my yard bird eggs. Just say no to e coli.
I could have done just the tank for about half the cost. The old drain field was completely useless because it wasn’t even close to code compliant. But with the field I helped ensure less frequent pumping. Which saves money in the very long term. So I got a new drain field.
This sounds like it’s right for abuse in selection bias. Needs more blinding so he doesn’t know which color they are squeezing.
Tragic m&miscarriage of proper statistical analysis
Bad study design. They need an advisor.
This kinda thing is why I am planting a lot to work out what actually grows well here.
Broadbeans did, then they got a fungal infection and died off before growing many pods at all. Garlic grew and then decided to barely do anything and get mouldy. Radishes got filled with maggots.
Goosefoot grows everywhere regardless of if I want it or not so I am just going to call it perennial spinach and hope to encourage it to grow larger leaves.
Rhubarb seems to be something that grows well so I recently started that and plan to turn it into wine and jam as well just so I can make use of it all if I get quite a few of them growing.
Jerusalem artichokes seem to be doing well but not time to harvest yet.
I think perennials are the way, need more of them.
