Quinoa? Which is native to the Andes? … I don’t think it’ll take root, will it? ---

> [@robardin](#): > > Quinoa? Which is native to the Andes? … I don’t think it’ll take root, will it? Climate requirements Quinoa is highly variable due to a high complexity of different subspecies, varieties and landraces (plants or animals adapted to the environment in which they originated). However, in general it is undemanding and altitude-hardy. It is grown from coastal regions (Chile) to over 4,000 m (13,120 ft) in the Andes near the equator. However, most of the cultivars are grown between 2,500 m and 4,000 m. Depending on the variety, Quinoa’s optimal growing conditions are in cool climates with temperatures that range from 25°F/−3°C, during the night, to near 95°F/35°C, during the day. Some cultivars can also withstand lower temperatures without damage. Light frosts normally do not affect the plants at any stage of development, except during flowering. Mid-summer frosts often occurring in the Andes during flowering lead to sterilization of the pollen. Rainfall conditions are highly variable between the different cultivars, ranging from 300 to 1,000 mm during growing season. Optimal for Quinoa growth is well-distributed rainfall during early growth and development and dry conditions during seed maturation and harvesting I am thinking alpine valley agriculture. ---

> [@phxjcc](#): > > I am thinking alpine valley agriculture. Which the hot women can help out with. Good thinking on that one. Especially if they are proficient with a bayoneted AK-47 as well as agriculture. Plus you’re the most evolved male hominid on the planet bar none. They can’t get _too_ mad at you, at least in theory… 😉 ---
