So, today its 60 degrees outside,...in Utah where I live, and mid-May. This is usually about 85 degrees or even 90 around this time of year. This will probably not last long, and become hot again. We have weird weather often. Utah weather is like gambling, you never know what will happen. Just 2 days ago it was really hot.
Anyway, this made me get into thinking mode again. And it so happens I'd seen some of the videos on Youtube done by people talking about how we are in a grand solar minimum. The post Covid-19 fear term for this is 'sun lock down'. I don't like that term because its sort of designed to inflame fear. I'm not afraid nor trying to cause fear. But the science of sunspots and weather patterns and sun cycles is genuine, as it affects us by space weather. Its very interesting if you get a chance to look at some of this data.
And it explains why what happened last year with the Midwest flooding, and why things have been getting weirder for the last 2 years+. (But it isn't global warming, which is kind of a fraud perpetrated by the elitist healthcare and science extortion racketeering schemes.)
Anyway, this had me wondering which breeds/types of potatoes grow easiest (as compared to other potatoes) when the weather is colder?
One of the great things about potatoes is that they can grow well even if it gets cold. (They are the ultimate tool for preparedness and self sufficiency).
I want to ask you all what you think about this? I especially hope to learn from you on this, and I recognize there are many gifted agriculture hobbyists and farmers back east, in the deep south, and even up north.
It would be good for me I think to be growing stuff that is somewhat cold hardy as a section of my garden. I don't mean that as any kind of fear stuff, but just anti-financial slavery. I very much dislike how people in the left, and people who are popular make out anyone that is just using common sense and doesn't want to be in financial bondage as some kind of cultists or weirdos also, or fear mongerers. This just isn't true.
Well, I hope by bringing up things to talk about I can help benefit some of you and vice versa.
As a side note; today I compared potatoes I'd stored in dirt about 4 weeks ago (?) with some potatoes I'd put in the windowsill to chit (to sprout). I wanted to see how healthy looking, and sickly looking they looked compared to each other. The ones that were stored under and fully packed in dirt looked noticeably much better than the ones that had nothing around them that I'd been trying to chit. (They were store bought non-seed, so they were slow chitting.)
For those of you who haven't tried sprouting your own potatoes (they call this chitting), feel free to ask about it here if you need to.
Also, I forgot to report on my last potato thread that I have gotten all kinds of store bought (to eat, non-seed) potatoes to chit (sprout) just fine, as if they were normal seed potatoes. I wanted to get people to know this as knowing this lets you do all kinds of experiments on your own. I've done them this way for over 3 years. However, they do TAKE LONGER to chit and sprout this way. (I also think there is a minor increased failure rate of possibly +10 to 15%, which is barely worth mentioning).
Thanks.
