cases outside Hubei are declining,
I had forgotten about that last part
*** Get those veggie gardens started! ***
I ordered cucuzza seeds last night. Prolific producers. Not as fussy as squash as the stems aren’t hollow.
The FAA shut down all air travel during 9-11. The Govt of USA can also shutdown travel as a disease control measure in the USA. The Patriot Act- corona virus version is not needed. “ regular “ martial law is all that’s needed.
Nothing to be ‘sorry’ about. They’re fleeing for their very lives. I’ll bet 250,000+ are dead, and 5,000,000 infected. Chicomms LIE!
I just looked those up....they look huge!
What will you do w/all of that squash (besides eating!)...will you can, or freeze some?

It lasts quite awhile in the fridge uncut, but you can freeze, can, pickle them. I’ve grown them on arched cattle panels so they grow straight. My Italian friend said in New Orleans they grew them on clotheslines.
“Is this only for those infected or is it also for dissenters?”
I’m guessing it’s for both...and just an assumption you’re “infected”.
As one woman said, they’re not even seeing doctors or being tested. It’s just a warehousing of the dead to be.
flu season is primarily in the cold months because we’re all inside close together.....flu virus can spread easily.
If you can get some pyrethrum daisy seeds, you can grow your own insecticide. Richters has a strain selected for that, rather than as an ornamental.
I read the Chinese military (PLA) has excluded any Coronavirus casualties in their ranks from the “official figures.” Thus many, many more people have been afflicted with this illness. The Chinese military is massive and no way could they protect themselves (in total) from this virus.
No way to prevent further contamination...
look up trombone squash....another zucchini like squash that grows very long, although curved....if you let them ripen on the vine, their taste is almost like a butternut squash....
Nifty!
I read that the Jicama leaves can do the same thing. IIRC they have rotenone.

I have grown tromboncinos. I just found the cucuzzas more prolific, and usable for me. I am not really a fan of squash, just wanted the most bang for the most disease/ squash bug resistance.
I do love watching the bees crawling around the big yellow cucuzza blooms.
*** I read that the Jicama leaves can do the same thing. IIRC they have rotenone. ***
I bought jicama seeds a few years ago, but didn’t plant them because of all the warnings about kids, pets, and wildlife on the packet. Too toxic for my garden.
Ya, me too. We have a lot of neighborhood cats (feral) that I didn’t want to get into that stuff.
But I do have somewhere I can grow it now that’s ‘pet free’ so I’m thinking about it. For the roots, not the rotenone.
