Drought,Hunger and Loadshedding. "This year kuzankala Njala". A common phrase in a Typical Zambian home when referring to a low Rainfall pattern. Well,now that I have grown,I find this phrase more Limiting because it leaves less Room for Alternative solutions. Though Maize is our staple food,I feel when Describing a Droughtful year,maize shouldn't be a Reference of Hunger. Yes we might not have enough maize but we still have other foods. See how loadsheding has forced us to adopt alternative sources of Energy. We are nolonger complaining about long power cuts because our focus has shifted to other viable solutions. Therefore,By Focusing on what is within our control,We can start by changing how we use maize as a reference of Hunger when Describing a poor rainfall pattern.

Winter watering for all of your new plants and trees is essential to keeping them healthy. JLS can help your commercial landscape THRIVE through these "dry" Colorado winters, not just survive. Let me know if I can help answer any questions for you.

As we navigate the diverse weather patterns of Colorado – from snowy days to cold snaps, warm interludes, and dry spells – it's crucial to focus on the well-being of our newly planted shrubs and trees during the winter season. When the ground freezes, it can limit their access to water, leading to stress and potential damage. A well-hydrated plant is better equipped to withstand the winter chill and emerge vibrant in the spring. Watering should be done when temperatures are above freezing and it is best to ensure the soil is adequately moist before a deep freeze to provide a buffer for your plants and trees.

In Australia, our national fresh produce industry faces a glaring deficiency in communication and freely available information channels. Unlike many other countries, there is a notable absence of a unified effort or platform addressing industry discussions and concerns. Real-time market analysis, backed by robust data, is sorely lacking, yet it is imperative for empowering our fresh produce growers and maximizing their profitability. The lack of courage and initiative among our industry representatives to unite and address transparency issues within the supply chain is deeply disappointing and shameful in an era defined by technological advancements and communication capabilities. As a result, post-farm-gate operators will continue to prioritize profits over value, leaving our growers disheartened. Establishing a national platform is paramount for consolidating our fresh produce growers, tackling supply chain challenges and fostering transparency by providing current market information about our Australian fresh produce industry. We urgently require a national representative organization that challenges the status quo, exposes inefficiencies, promotes accountability and keeps our industry informed about its current state. Only by confronting these challenges head-on can we truly support our Australian fresh produce growers and industry, creating a fair and equitable environment. It's time to empower both growers and consumers by taking decisive action and ensuring transparency, along with providing up-to-date information to facilitate fair compensation for our Australian fresh produce growers.] -----
