For a long time, #farmers in the #Goblej village in #Gujarat dedicated their time and effort to cultivating #paddy. It was their sole source of income, so they harvested it twice a year.
However, this wasn’t yielding benefits for the farmers since paddy cultivation needs a lot of water and the rainfall has been deficient over the last few years. Moreover, growing the crop during summers,
additional use of fertilisers to maintain the fields, and excessive requirement of water resulting in soil degradation, added to the woes.

A world record-breaking 261 tomato cultivars were exhibited at @NBGGlasnevin #TTTomFest19! The human race eats ½ its weight in #tomatoes annually. An important crop economically - preserving their valuable #genetic #diversity & #seed #democracy is vital to #future #foodsecurity🍅
1.This thread is about cordon or upright #tomato cultivars. The stunning colour of 'Indigo Rose' gave me the inspiration for the 1st #TotallyTerrificTomatoFestival in 2012. The first naturally-bred, high-anthocyanin tomato, #seed only became available to #gardeners in early 2012>
2.Rosada. The most delicious, disease-resistant, easy and productive variety of cherry/plum I've ever grown. Often bears 70 fruits on long trusses. No longer available as delisted by the politically powerful and greedy #Big4 #seed corporations when they couldn't buy the #patent!>

#Gardeners are thinking about ordering #tomato varieties now - so I though it might be interesting and fun to do a tomato #thread. Some of you may know I started the #TotallyTerrificTomatoFestival in 2012 - more on the reasons later. Here's some of the 47 cultivars I grew for it>
2.This is my personal take on the best of some of the 100's of varieties I've grown over 40+ yrs of #tomato growing! If a tomato cultivar grows well here - I guarantee it will grow anywhere! Our climate is an average of 10C colder than the UK all summer and damp with poor light!>
3.I'll start with my #No1 bush variety Maskotka - which I proved a few years ago is the earliest variety in the world! Sown in late Feb - it ripens in the 1st week of June! Mouthwatering '#tomato sauce' taste, easy to grow in containers, compact, productive, disease-resistant🍅>

"It didn’t matter that no #drugs were found—nothing but a hydroponic #tomato #garden and loose tea leaves. The search and #SWAT raid were reasonable, according to the courts."

Civil discontent leads to civil unrest, which leads to #protests and #counterprotests, and instead of restoring order, local #police stand down. Tensions rise, violence escalates, and federal armies move in.
