TL;DR
*Climate change will significantly impact food systems.
*Plants have optimal growing temperatures and many follow seasonal cycles.
*My feed will highlight plants with higher OGT, don’t depend on seasonal cycles or flower in late season.
*Farmers focus on what will sell, leaving new options unexplored.
*Creating demand for these plants would stabilize our food supply.
Just taking a moment here to note that web searches for optimal plant growth temperatures are now unreliable, with incorrect AI results dominating search results.
Trust only scientific journal entries on plant cultivation or check the year-round climate where these plants originate and when they are planted.
Do you think that the planting instructions on seed packages bought at garden centres may be incorrect because of changing climate?
@Anne_Delong it’s possible that many typical veg will not grow well in backyards anymore due to heat stress or they have to be planted at a different time of the year/transplanted outside or grown in winter under greenhouses. In my experience, I’ve had a very difficult time with plants such as radishes and carrots. Even when I sow in winter, they will still bolt in late March early April and not produce tubers. I have switched to growing rat’s tail, radish, beets and turnips.
I must be further north than you (Ontario), but I still have trouble with bolting radishes spinach, lettuce and arugula. I plant them on the north side of a fence, so they get morning and evening sun but not afternoon; that seems to help. My soil is too heavy for carrots, but that's not a climate issue - they just come out very short and fat...
