Okay, every time I try to use a web search I understand why so many people ask ChatGPT, but I would much rather #askFedi 😊 this one's mostly for gardeners: what are some good plant sources of phosphorus? Specific plants or specific parts of plants (the only things I found so far are new shoots and fruit, but I don't have tomatoes to give to the plants I'm trying to help grow tomatoes lol)

Behind the ballistics of the explosive squirting cucumber https://phys.org/news/2025-07-ballistics-explosive-squirting-cucumber.html

"To reduce direct competition for space and resources between parent and offspring #plants, there is an evolutionary drive for plants to disperse their seeds as far as they possibly can... the #SquirtingCucumber uses high-pressure explosions to eject its #seeds at high speed across large distances... the seeds can achieve speeds up to 46 km/h and reach shooting distances up to 12 m"

A black and white video from a high speed camera in a laboratoy setting showing an egg-shaped plant fruit explosively releasing seven large seeds in a stream of liquid. By Helen Gorges.

@thejapantimes I hope #Japan can produce enough rice, and for people in Japan to live #life compassionately so there’s less fear and more cooperation during times of greater struggle.

#Pesticides can have unforeseen consequences on workers, consumers, and environment.

Three alternatives that I believe could mitigate these issues are sacrificial crops that attract the pest to other #plants, banker plants in conservation strips, and habitat management for other non-insect pest predators.

editing and boosting because seed catalogs are hitting the mailbox:

Because I was still on the mailing list for some reason, let me remind you to NOT BUY from #BakerCreekSeeds because of their blatant support of right wing ideologies and white supremacy.

Better options: High Mowing Seeds, Sow True Seed, Heritage Seed Market, Alliance of Native Seedkeepers, Southern Exposure Seed Exchange, Fedco Seed.
