Soon there were newspaper and TV interviews, book deals, speeches. Jacobo37/Wiki Commons That's 33 percent taller than most peanut plants! She planted the peanuts, which germinated in just four days and grew 2 feet high. Instead of cupping herself and going "How about you suck on deez nuts then," Howorth decided to do the most British thing ever and blow off some steam via gardening. going berserk and asking people "can you believe this shit?!") everyone else was unenthused. While Howorth was reacting to the peanuts like your dad does to an obviously photoshopped picture of a guy posing with a giant fish he "caught" (i.e. And none of her guests apparently gave a crap. Howorth was apparently a big fan of all things atomic (which is why you always had to make sure your underwear wasn't sticking out of your pants around her) and she loved these "NC4X" peanuts so much, she served them during a dinner at the Royal Commonwealth Society in London. One of the resulting crops produced peanut seeds the size of almonds, which Gregory then sent as a gift to his friend Muriel Howorth. Gregory of North Carolina State University exposed 200lbs of peanuts to a massive amount of radiation and planted their seeds. NC State University Libraries You can't see the nuts in this photo because leaves cover them. But the practice didn't really enter popular culture until a guy showed his massive nuts to his lady friend. The initial success of the Brookhaven experiments gave scientists hope that radiation might be the key to stopping world hunger, and soon atomic gardens were created all over the world, from the US to Costa Rica, Sweden, and Japan. Trust us, if atomic gardening could result in you growing extra limbs, Amazon would've used it to create a race of bladder-less Machamps that could pack boxes twice as fast and spray sticky diarrhea whenever they heard the word "union." 4 It Was Popularized Thanks To A Lady Getting A Giant Nut. Hell, the Rio Star Grapefruit has been around for over 50 or so years now and actually accounts for 75% of Texas' grapefruit production. The cultivars were and still are perfectly safe. Just so we're clear: although the plants and their seeds were irradiated does not mean that they were radioactive. They were mutated via radiation, but they didn't emit radiation themselves. We're talking about larger sizes, better taste, and resistance to illness etc., all of which were inheritable, like with Todd Mitchum Peppermint or the Rio Star Grapefruit.
But the ones near the back - those were the ones that got their genome scrambled just enough to basically get superpowers. The ones in the middle merely begged for death (which we may or may not mean literally) because of their massive tumors and other gruesome mutations.
The plants nearest the cobalt-60 would usually just be dead.

Once the flora took a long enough shower in Godzilla's morning breath, scientists wearing full radiation suits would come in an inspect the results. Hang on, let's see if we can find a helpful visual. being planted around it like slices of a pie. The radioactive material would be placed in the middle of an atomic garden patch, with strawberries, sugar maples, corn etc. This eventually resulted in an idea, pioneered by the Brookhaven National Laboratories in Rhode Island, of exposing plants to cobalt-60 and seeing what happened. And because therapy hadn't been invented yet, they settled on finding non-destructive uses of radiation. This led to an interesting discovery that a sufficiently high enough dose of X-ray radiation could create inheritable mutations in the crop, thus laying the foundation for serious atomic gardening, which developed during the 1950s.Īfter scientists developed the atom bomb, they started looking for ways to come to terms with the fact that they were responsible for creating a weapon that could quite literally destroy the world.
In the 1920s, scientists started X-raying barley because in those days the only time people weren't shotgunning double whiskeys was when they were doing cocaine. 5 Atomic Gardening Was Created To Save The World
