The answer is to plant native plant species. Your local wildlife will Thankyou as they unwillingly prepare to migrate due to climate change.

I was quite surprised, when buying seeds for my garden (I need heat tolerant varieties of everything) that some of the ones that were heat tolerant were also cold tolerant, either old varieties or sturdy hybrids.

Green Magic Broccoli is awesome, and there are lettuces like that. And while our unusual double tap freeze this year wiped out most of my garden, the fennel, which is heat tolerant in my experience, just did not freeze. All those little hairy leaves were completely undamaged. I did not expect that!

Insulation is insulation! :)

Plant mushrooms and poppies so you can just disassociate your way into the end times.

technically psychedelic mushrooms aren't a dissociative hallucinogen, but you got the spirit

[–] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I too crave to become one with the fungi

[–] DKKHGGGj@sopuli.xyz 1 points 53 minutes ago

It will happen to us all

[–] dr_robotBones@reddthat.com 11 points 16 hours ago (4 children)

What does AMOC stand for? Is it that atlantic air current?

[–] RepleteLocum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Idk, but I think it's about the golf stream collapse and how it'd cool Europe down.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

golf stream

Gulf, golf is something else.

[–] allan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Gulf is golf in many germanics. Fun.

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 8 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

it's the gulf stream, or, rather, refers to the entire system of currents and heat exchange mostly driven by the gulf stream

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 6 points 15 hours ago

Its ocean current. I believe Atl Meridian Overturning Current

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Plant both and grow in multiple seasons

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 74 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I'm exclusively planting tulips for trade. I'm not missing out when the craze strikes again.

[–] wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 40 points 22 hours ago

Sorry to say, but we’ve moved onto virtual goods to satisfy our crazes nowadays. Try planting those tulips in your homebrew farmcraft simulator clone and watch those profits roll in.

NFTs = non fungal tulips

Yes, Europe has absolutely never seen complete loss of potatoes harvest du to weather events

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 20 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Yes, all potatoes. Make sure in one large area, all the same sub type as well. Nothing bad can happen.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Surely, there is absolutely no precedent for anything going wrong in a scenario such as that.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 7 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

No chance of famine with monocrops, just look at bananas

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 3 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Plant coriander with your potatoes, it repels a lot of the insects that harm them

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Naw, better just lean into the blight.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder's eye on the Last Day.

[–] bored_boar_onboard@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Life is a dream from which we all must wake.

I've heard a good rec is to give yourself a buffer of one to two usda zones plus and minus.

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 14 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

Diversity! Gotta hedge those bets.

That said amoc collapse probably isn't happening imminently, and would mostly only cause cooling in Northern Europe from what I remember.

[–] birdwing@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Northwestern Europe, to be precise. It'd include the Hiberno-British Isles and a little southeast of that.
