20 essential gardening jobs to do this week before August begins ends ; or it might be too late

1. Prune Rambling Roses
Cut them back immediately after flowering—not in winter like climbing roses. Use sturdy gear and thorn-proof gloves. Delay it and you’ll screw up next year’s blooms.

2. Plant Fall-Blooming Bulbs
Stick Guernsey lilies, autumn crocus, and Colchicums in the ground now. They need warm soil to root—miss this and you miss fall flowers.

3. Chop Back Lavender
Faded blooms? Cut it hard and now. Keeps the plant bushy and triggers another round of flowers. Go light and it goes woody, grey, and useless.

4. Cut Down Spent Perennials
Delphiniums, lupins, geraniums—if they’ve finished blooming, chop them. You’ll get a second flush if you do it now. Wait, and you’re out of luck.

5. Take Hydrangea Cuttings
Mid-summer is prime time to propagate. Semi-ripe stems root easily in July warmth. Grab a knife, pots, and soil. You’ll double your plants for free.

6. Feed Dahlias Now
These beasts are hungry. Start a weekly feed schedule with seaweed or tomato fertilizer. Strong feeding now = peak blooms in August/September.

7. Sow Fast-Growers for Fall
Radish, lettuce, bok choy, spinach—get them in now. They need July heat to germinate but will thrive in cool fall air.

8. Start Fall Brassicas Indoors
Broccoli, kale, cabbage, cauliflower—start seeds inside now. Wait, and they won’t mature before frost.

9. Rip Out Spent Crops
Old, bolted, diseased stuff? Yank it. Clean out space and stop pests from spreading. Reset beds for fall.

10. Fertilize Fruit Veg
Tomatoes, peppers, melons—feed ‘em now. Use high-potassium organic feed. No fuel = no fruit.

11. Mulch the Beds
2–3 inches of straw or leaves traps moisture and cools roots. Essential during late summer heat. Focus on tomatoes, cucumbers, and squash.

12. Net or Bag Ripening Fruit
Protect tomatoes, figs, grapes, peaches from squirrels, birds, and wasps. Cover them now or kiss them goodbye.

13. Direct-Sow Beans (Last Call)
Bush and pole beans still have a shot—but barely. Plant fast-maturing varieties this week or forget a fall harvest.

14. Hill Up Potatoes
Cover exposed tubers now or they go green and toxic. Hilling boosts yield and protects the crop.

15. Water Deep, Not Daily
Skip surface watering. Soak roots 2–3 times per week. Deep roots = stronger plants, especially tomatoes and melons.

16. Prune & Tie Cucumbers
Tame the chaos. Trellis and trim excess runners for better airflow and fruit access. Helps prevent powdery mildew.

17. Inspect Tomatoes for Trouble
Strip lower leaves, check for hornworms or blight. Treat early with neem or BT before it explodes.

18. Thin Fruit Trees
Overloaded branches on apples or pears? Thin them out now. Prevents breakage and gets you bigger, healthier fruit.

19. Clean Up Rotting Fruit/Veg
Don’t let fallen fruit or squash rot in place. That’s pest fuel. Rake it up and compost what’s clean.

20. Shade Young Seedlings
Newly sown fall crops will fry in July heat. Use row cover, shade cloth, even cardboard. Protect now or they won’t make it.

Look closer — that’s not dust. It’s LOCUSTS!

Russia’s Dagestan choked by swarms in a biblical-style invasion — authorities says it’s under control

Taxes

John Kerry: "Agriculture contributes about 33% of all the emissions of the world."

"We can't get to Net Zero... unless agriculture is front and centre as part of the solution."

"You just can't continue to both warm the planet, while also expecting to feed it. It doesn't work."

"So we have to reduce emissions from the food system."

"There are at least six or seven companies... now using crickets—insects—to make flour."

"PepsiCo is looking to use cricket proteins in products such as Cheetos and Quaker granola oats."

"Insect-related businesses in the Western world are producing insect proteins for foods, beverages, confectionaries... butters, oils... as well as spice and seasoning."

"So it's most likely going to show up, not be labelled—and you're not going to know it—in pretty much everything you eat."

"About 30% of the cricket farms looked at have parasites that carry disease to humans."

"The NIH says that... crickets show presence of arsenic, aluminium, cadmium, chromium, and mercury."

Are you prepared to quit coffee to save the planet from evil carbon dioxide? 🤡

Swiss banker Hubert Keller, speaking at the WEF: "The coffee that we all drink emits between 15 and 20 tonnes of CO₂ per tonne of coffee."

"Every time we drink coffee, we are basically putting CO₂ into the atmosphere.

🔥 🔥 🔥

Australian senator Malcolm Roberts: "The UK has just concluded a trial of a personal carbon dioxide allowance... in order to meet Net Zero goals."

"Your daily [carbon dioxide allowance] would be enough to buy 26 grams of red meat. One mouthful."

"Your daily allowance will cover two plant-based meals a day, because predatory billionaires like BlackRock and Bill Gates are buying up farmland to grow the cereals and soy needed for plant-based meals."

"The World Economic Forum... has hosted speakers calling for this system to include carbon dioxide credit trading, so rich people can live their lives exactly as they do right now, and poor people can skimp on food, clothing, travel, electricity and entertainment, and sell their excess credits to rich people."

"The war on livestock is a war on good nutrition, based on a lie, which is designed to enrich billionaires."

The state of Maine encouraged farmers to spread a sludge on their fields as fertilizer. But the sludge was contaminated. A year later, the State came to those same farmers and told them their land is contaminated with PFAS and won't allow them to farm now. They then offered to buy the farmers out for $2600/acre ($6340/ha).

This is happening in a lot of places. Right now the big city near me pays the compost companies to take their sludge, and they blend it into the soils and compost they sell. Almost every compost company in the area does this and there are only 2 that I know that have committed to not using the biosludge.

Are you ready for spare human bodies - MIT BODYOIDS. 👀

"This is a national food security issue."

CBS: "The beekeeping industry is in crisis over the shocking and unexplained deaths of hundreds of millions of bees."

"This could impact all of the U.S. as bees, called the backbone of agriculture, are responsible for pollinating more than a third of the nation's crops."

"It'll change the way we consume food in the United States... If we lose 80% of our bees every year, the industry cannot survive, which means we cannot pollinate at the scale that we need to produce food in the United States."

Ground beef prices reach record highs as warning issued

Ground beef prices across the U.S. continue to reach new highs, driven by shrinking cattle herds, with looming import restrictions threatening to push costs even higher.

According to government data released last week, the average price of a pound of 100 percent ground beef rose to $6.12 last month, up from $5.98 in May and $5.47 in June 2024. Experts have said this trend shows no signs of slowing, meaning there may be upward pressure on prices through 2026 and beyond.

"It might be at least two to three years before we would see any significant change on the supply side that would ultimately lead to some moderation in beef prices," agricultural economist Derrell Peel told Newsweek.

“What Doctors Don’t Tell You” has an article about the sugar substitute erythritol which can increase the risk of stroke.

The chemical can be found in Truvia and Splenda Naturals and is produced through the fermentation of glucose derived from corn — regulated by the FDA — for what it’s worth in today’s safety standards. It’s also found in Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener, in Coca-Cola and Cargill sweetener Truvia and in Breyer’s delights.

Not just Usa, It is also being used in India, despite being banned in many other countries due to its extreme toxicity and lack of an antidote.

There are several reports of how many ppl died due to this. But, it is still being used extensively. Most ppl doesn't know about this and how severe damage it is doing to their health.

Alpha-Gal Syndrome: New meat allergy floods the USA and Europe - coincidence or planned change?

The WEF-affiliated bioethicist Matthew Liao has already suggested that genetic modifications in humans could help combat climate change. One of his ideas: to "engineer" humans to reject meat, genetically or pharmacologically. Goal: Less meat consumption = fewer greenhouse gases.

Reports are now piling up. Triggered by tick bites, the human body suddenly develops a strong immune response against meat products.

So now we are suddenly witnessing the real increase of a meat allergy caused by ticks. What was once considered a theoretical thought experiment now seems to be becoming reality.
