Seeds that are dry and mature can be frozen with little or no effect on seed quality or viability. Seeds having moisture content of 20 per cent or more though, will suffer from frost injury with yield and quality losses. A frost of -3°C will kill immature seeds containing 50 to 60 per cent moisture. Seed drier than 20 per cent is more at risk of increased green seed content than yield loss and dead seed. After a frost has occurred and canola is standing or in the swath, the damage will become obvious as you approach 72 hours after the event.

"We expanded the recall because we cannot guarantee the quality of the affected products with absolute certainty, which is always our highest priority," said SunOpta president and CEO Rik Jacobs.

Love the fruit but hate the seed? If you are among those who spit out seeds after devouring the fruit or vegetable, you might be losing out on essential nutrients. Not only are some seeds very beneficial for your health, but they also make for a tasty snack with your evening tea.

By this time every year, the pumpkin –grown from a mixture of seeds that Jeff “scientifically” mixes in hopes of getting the orangest, healthiest, biggest pumpkin — is ready for picking.

“There is an addictive side just watching it grow,” Geddes said. “Part of it is you are a curious person, and you wonder how big it can get, and if you have a competitive personality you might think you can do better next year. That happens every year.”

The single best restaurant that I ate at was Llama Inn in Brooklyn. My husband and I spent a weekend in Brooklyn recently and this was one of the places on our must-visit list. The atmosphere felt warm and inviting, nice but still fun and approachable. I expected the food to be good, but it was even better than I expected! We ordered a mix of small dishes, vegetable dishes, and the whole fish. All of the food was so well executed; cooked perfectly, plated beautifully, and above all the flavors were outstanding. So delicious!

After a traditional culinary-school experience back in New York, where the couple met, Omar landed at the canapé station at Daniel. Moko’s company transferred her to London, and Omar followed shortly after, eventually finding himself on the line at the Gordon Ramsay Group’s Savoy Grill.

But there were many others, spread throughout the festival that day, who feared the famous farmer had led the city down an uncertain path, demanding changes that couldn’t be undone and attempting to enrich himself in the process.

“About 10 years ago, a co-worker kept twisting my arm to grow these things,” he said. “He eventually brought a plant into work one day, put it on my desk and told me to take it home and plant it. I was somewhat dubious about it at the time; after all, it’s kind of a silly hobby. People don’t eat these pumpkins, and they take up a huge amount of space in your garden. I generally set aside 1,000 to 1,200 square feet for a single plant, which translates into a 30-by-40-foot plot. That’s bigger than most people’s gardens.”

James apologized after Sunday’s home loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. “Apologies, for sure, if I offended anyone. That’s not why I chose to share that lyric. I always post lyrics,” he said to ESPN. “That’s what I do. I ride in my car, I listen to great music, and that was the byproduct of that.” James said he, like 21 Savage, originally thought it was a compliment. “But obviously it wasn’t, through the lens of a lot of people. My apologies. It definitely was not the intent, obviously, to hurt anybody.” The NBA, on Christmas Eve, accepted James’ explanation.
