Bizim "Yedikule marulu"nun yurt dışında "Romalr" olarak tanındığı, Amerika'da ise Türkçe adıyla bulunduğunu biliyor musunuz? Peki marulu közleyerek yemeyi denediniz mi? Aylin Öney Tan'la #acıtatlımayhoş - Marul deyince aklımıza ister istemez Yedikule marulu geliyor. Şimdilerde minyatür maket gibi ufakları var. Hatta bunlara marul bile denmiyor, sadece “Yedikule” adıyla anılıyor. Şefler bunları genelde süs gibi kullanıyor, bazen de boyuna ikiye kesip ızgara yapıyorlar. Marulu ızgara yapmak Akdeniz'de çok görülüyor, eski Roma zamanlarından beri sebze gibi közlendiği çok bilinen bir kullanım şekli. Pandemi döneminde beni Amerika'dan True Food TV aradı. Yedikule'nin tarihini araştırıyorlarmış ve benim Yedikule marulu üzerine bir yazımı okumuşlar. Nicole Jolly ile bir program yaptık. Atalık tohumları toplayan Baker Creek Seeds adlı bahçecilik ağında Yedikule adı altında bizim marul da bulunuyormuş. Yedikule yurtdışında “Cos lettuce” veya “Romaine lettuce” olarak biliniyor. Romaine adı Roma'ya atfen, Cos ise genellikle bizde İstanköy adıyla da bilenen Kos adasına atfen diye bilinse bile Alan Davidson'a göre Arapça marul adına göre “Khas” kelimesinden geliyor. Amerika'da Türkçe adıyla bulunması bile bizim için şans.

Joining host Jennie Love on today's show is Denise Richter from Pistil & Stamen in New Orleans.  On her small urban flower farm, Denise has had to get very clever over the years with intercropping to maximize the number of harvestable stems.  In this conversation, we dive deep into intercropping as well as urban farming, managing super wet soils, and being a farmer florist. Intercropping is the practice of planting two or more crops at the same time or in quick succession in the same bed space so they are growing together for at least part of their life cycles. This diversifies the types of roots down in the soil and maximizes space and photosynthesis above ground. Intercropping is a key practice to regenerative farming.  It's talked about a lot in the grazing and vegetable farming communities.  But it really hasn't caught on much yet in flower farming.  Hopefully today's show will help change that! Some of the intercropping pairings mentioned in this episode include:  - sunflowers + dahlias - stock + flowering cabbage + candy tuft - calendula + snapdragons - cardoons + iris - edible peas + dormant perennials - lisianthus + radishes  - celosia + dormant ranunculus/anemones Some seed sources mentioned were Baker Creek Seeds for purple-pod peas and Johnny's Selected Seeds for cover crop peas.  Denise also mentioned Floral Genius pin cups as her favorite design mechanic.  This show is brought to you by the Regenerative Flower Farmers Network (RFFN).  Your membership in RFFN will go to support the making of more podcasts here on No-Till Flowers. Join RFFN today to read dozens of great articles on regenerative practices as they specifically relate to flower farming.   On RFFN, you'll find more conversations about intercropping.  Please rate and leave a review for this show wherever you are getting it.   Sign up for our newsletter so you'll be the first to know about special events and opportunities.   Follow @notillflowers on Instagram for more content.  Thanks for tuning in!

When you live in the Northeast USA,  making sure you take advantage of as much of the growing season as possible is key to maximizing your garden's yield.  Jessie talks about the shoulder season (transitioning from winter to spring), how she prepared for it to get plants started as early as possible, and what the What-Jessie-Grew Garden yielded from these efforts.  Eric and Jessie also discuss some of the creative things they did with their harvest.  Show links:Baker Creek Seeds: https://www.rareseeds.com/Johnny's Selected Seeds: https://www.johnnyseeds.com/Podcast Episode 43- What is Vinegar, How do You Make it?: https://whatericmade.buzzsprout.com/327845/6500524-vinegar-101-what-is-it-how-do-you-make-itPodcast Episode 18- Vinaigrettes: https://whatericmade.buzzsprout.com/327845/2246108-vinaigrettes-building-blocks-and-alternative-uses

Call the show 661-368-5177Its 102 Degrees here today (Pics), which is pretty typical of my summers here in Bakersfield. It got me thinking about gardening in extreme heat. In this episode I’ll explain why amaranth does just fine in high heat, why your wilting plants are probably fine, a bit about the wonderful world of Photosynthesis, and why you should pour beer on your plants. The “Greek Cucumber” I mentioned several times in the episode is XYLANGOURO CUCUMBER MELON, which I picked up at Baker Creek Seeds https://www.rareseeds.com/store/vegetables/new-items-2020/xylangouro-cucumber-melon. The Red Amaranth was Red Leaf Vegetable Amaranth which I got from Johnny’s Selected Seeds https://www.johnnyseeds.com/vegetables/greens/specialty-greens/red-leaf-vegetable-amaranth-specialty-green-seed-516.html.

The best and easiest strategy for starting to grow food now is to use your existing landscape; you already have bare soil, mulch and in most cases irrigation.But if you don't have any existing landscape stay tuned because we are going to touch on this today as well.

We are covering that today as well.Here are the links I promised. https://edifulgardens.com/2020gardenplan/https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/nannette-blair/the-ediful-gardens-podcast/e/63308802https://www.willhiteseed.com/https://youtu.be/3HBMJuKo9WEhttps://edifulgardens.com/start/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDHaFfHHDPohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKpAsjdJU9Ehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXwfZPO9ToU&t=21shttps://www.buzzsprout.com/248813/1134275As always, please feel free to reach out by email at nannette@edifulgardens.com

Sorry about you, little pale bulbs in the grocery store package! Slow Food St. Louis aims to get a bunch of the SIX HUNDRED varieties of heirloom garlic growing and thriving and feeding us here by "Crop-Sourcing" Project Garlic. Brian DeSmet, Slow Food St. Louis board member and GardenWorks Manager for Schlafly Brewing, tells all - OK, a LOT - about this super-food, a plant that's super-easy to grow, a part of human eating pleasure for more than 7,000 years!
