I've been playing in dirt aka doing yard work.

Random rant ...
Why do some plants come with a "warning" that propagation is prohibited?
I mean, you wanna guarantee I'll take cuttings, or whatever, and turn one plant into several, then give them away to others, tell me propagation is prohibited.
What - are there people going around from yard to yard making sure no one is taking cuttings or otherwise making the plants multiply???

There was an effort by Monsanto to monopolize all cash crop seeds. They put genetic markers in them to tell the source of the seed/crop. They even tried to get the law changed so that if the seeds blow away or get onto your property, they own the crops. I don't know if they ever got that law passed.

Year in and year out farmers are losing the seeds from their own plants, and are forced to purchase them anew from seed providers. Monsanto has monopolized the seed market which has significantly limited the variety of plants available on the market. The consequences of which have had fatal effects on both our environment, and the farmers that harness crops from it.

The seed industry is more concentrated today than it ever was before. The ten largest seed corporations dominate three quarters of the commercial seed market. The top three of these, Monsanto, DuPont and Syngenta, represent more than half (53 percent) of the market. Even more striking are the figures of genetically modified (GM) seeds - according to Greenpeace, Monsanto sold 90 percent of GM seeds worldwide in 2009.

There are however regional differences. While agriculture in industrialized countries is predominantly sourced from commercial seed providers, many developing countries are still relatively independent of these, for now. The portion of commercial seeds present in Indian agriculture is approximately 30 percent, and Africa as a whole has less than 10%.

Although one third may not sound like a game-changing figure, the commercial seed market and Monsanto in particular have had a devastating effect on Indian farmers. Cotton farmers especially have been strained as Monsanto controls 95 percent of the cotton seed market through its genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

Responsible plant owners get them spayed or neutered.

You see that routine fly ball that hit Luis Robert, gold glove winner, right on the top of the head leading to an Angels run?

Ouch! Ball bounces off Robert's head

ANAHEIM -- White Sox center fielder Luis Robert made an amusing, yet painful and ultimately costly gaffe in the third inning of Saturday’s game against the Angels, as he attempted to catch a shallow fly ball off the bat of Anthony Rendon, only for it to bounce off his head

I can't believe anyone watches baseball. Boring, watching the grass grow, spitting, scratching balls. I'd rather watch golf or bowling.
