Well winter is on our doorsteps, and for the general population any thoughts of gardening stops, as the common thought is the 'garden has gone to sleep'...Well nothing could be farther from the truth, as the season of shorter days and chilly weather could be one of the most important and busy in the yearly life of your garden. Join Saul and Lucy every week as they show you exactly how busy they are, whether getting everything festive for Xmas, clearing up after the latest storm, enjoying the emergent shoots of early flowering plants or getting ready for spring and a return to the start of the great garden cycle!It's another episode of your favourite professional gardening duo, and this week, Lucy and Saul are (thankfully) getting back to practical horticulture. Saul has been busy admiring his magnolias at Stonelands, and Lucy has won the battle of the miscanthus bed on Mersea, and the thorny bed at Kingsland. Hurrah!! We also thank our marvellous listeners (yes, that's YOU!) for helping Lucy with her coastal conundrum - Griselinia littoralis is the clear winner. And spring IS springing! We're happy to be fools if it's not - because there are definite signs that this glorious season is on its way.Instagram links:Lucy lucychamberlaingardensTwitter links:Saul @GardeningSaulSupport the show

The Summer season has come full circle again, that time of year where everyone enjoys being outside, especially in their gardens on a long, sunny day. Gardeners are still in full flow - planting out new beds, mowing their lawns and cajoling their vegetable gardens into burgeoning yields. It's a great time to be alive in horticulture as the show season reaches a crescendo, plant fairs almost every weekend threaten to empty your savings and open gardens throughout the UK inspire that next bit of work you will be doing in your own plot. As ever Lucy and Saul will bring you tales (and waffle) from their gardens, so join us every week for more horticultural high-jinx on Talking Heads.Help Lucy commiserate/celebrate/mark her milestone birthday by, what else? By gardening, of course! With Saul taking a well deserved holiday in Scotland, Lucy describes how many gardeners are working hard - or are we? To show to the masses that, rather than hammocking with a Pimms gardeners love to keep busy at all times of year, she runs through her late August jobs list. From tying in camellias and deadheading dahlias in her own garden, to pruning hedges and collecting meadow seeds in others, is she in denial by implying she's barely got time for candles and cake? (Yes).Instagram Links:Lucy headgardenerlcTwitter links:Saul @GardeningSaulIntro and Outro music from https://filmmusic.io"Fireflies and Stardust" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com)License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)Support the Show.

Operina is a new opera podcast for kids, created and hosted by soprano Jessica Cambio. Each episode features children from around the world participating (in their own language) in a musical, historical, cultural, and linguistic educational adventure... with their parents' permission, of course.Opera, classical music, and linguistic studies are often neglected and/or not introduced to children at all, especially at the elementary school level. It has been scientifically proven that exposure to classical music, art, dance, culture, foreign languages, and even global travel at an early age encourages healthy brain stimulation and growth, a more peaceful upbringing, a stronger sense of community, and therefore, a better world. The Operina mission is to provide a fun, free, kid-friendly all-encompassing learning experience to enhance their musical and cultural education, expand their horizons, encourage them to think outside the box of their daily lives... all the while limiting their screen time. ;)Operina encourages kids to learn, grow, explore, and experience opera and classical music firsthand. The episodes, narrated by various musical guests worldwide, can be enjoyed in the comfort of your own home. Operina also encourages your children to make new friends, share information and opinions, learn new words in foreign languages, use their imagination and creativity, create a community, listen to the sounds of the human voice and orchestral instruments, design costumes and sets, dance, sing, and explore the stage, acting, and all the spectacle of opera from the inside.Operina features guests from all corners of the globe, stories extracted from operas that have survived hundreds of years, quizzes, foreign words integrated in the language of the opera being presented, and so much more. Join us on this new adventure!In this episode, I read the retold version of Giuseppe Verdi's timeless opera La Traviata, based on the Alexandre Dumas fils play La Dame aux Camélias or The Lady of the Camellias, which is based on the true story of the French courtesan Marie Duplessis. This version adapted for children and originally written in Italian by Laura Castellani offers side-by-side translations of the story in English, German, and Russian. The beautiful artwork is done by Beata Malinowska and can be seen on the Operina Instagram page @operinapodcast.If your child would like to be featured as a guest on future episodes, please send your submissions (in any language) to: operinapodcast@gmail.com.DISCLAIMER: Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

Is there anything nicer than the pleasure of a lunch outside in the Spring? Ok, don't answer that, but yes, it is lovely to have lunch outdoors on those perfect days when the bugs haven't noticed yet it is time to come out. It's a little chilly, very sunny, and just perfection for a mid-day meal.Four is the perfect number as it doesn't entail much back-and-forth. I want to be at the table with my guests, not running in and out of the kitchen or fretting over the stove. The menus I love are made with seasonal ingredients, prepared before my guests arrive, and easy to carry! A very saucy dish is definitely not a good idea if you need to transport it throughout your house. This is the moment to make all those spring dishes with peas, asparagus, baby lettuce, and new potatoes. Eggs are always a good option for spring dishes, and rosé wine is beginning to arrive at market shelves. For this lunch, I am making “Huevos a la Flamenca,” a vegetarian egg dish with all the classic Spring ingredients. I have sometimes added chorizo or bacon bits to this, but only when I know that it is absolutely necessary. Fresh peas, hearts of artichoke, bits of asparagus, new baby potatoes, onion, and garlic, and, if you have them at hand, a handful of diced carrots are cooked until fragrant. The eggs are added at the end and then baked in a 400-degree oven for exactly 8 minutes for runny yolk and solid white. Sprinkle fresh mint for a wonderful aroma. Besides the fact that this dish is delicious and full of flavor…. it has to be served in the vessel it was cooked in. Genius! Versions of this dish are easily accomplished by changing up the seasonal vegetables. It is delicious and made with eggplant, zucchini, tomatoes, and peppers. In winter months, try it with red onion, squash, sweet potato, and carrots… you get the idea, right? I serve this with crusty buttered bread and a creamy baby lettuce salad on the side. For dessert, more seasonal ingredients make an appearance, and I adore a simple fresh fruit salad tossed with fresh orange juice. I love the mixture of apricots and nectarines with a sprinkle of raspberries. Of course, if you can find rhubarb, an old-fashioned rhubarb crumble would be perfect…. but then, I can only dream. Setting the table outside and keeping my all-white look. It has become a pleasure to do so. Really. I thought that by now, I'd tire of same-o-same-o, but I am thrilled. The table always looks pulled together, crisp, and fresh. I adore the consistency and the calming effect it has on the general mood. Camellias and hellebores from the garden mix with a beautiful bunch of grapes. Pale green shagreen cutlery and all-white tablecloth, napkins, and plates. Simple, elegant, and in keeping with the season. Huevos a la Flamenca* 4 tablespoons olive oil* 1 onion, diced* 1 clove of garlic, peeled and sliced* 1 lb. new baby potatoes, cut in half * 1 lb. asparagus tips, each about 3 inches long* 1 pound fresh or frozen small peas* 1 10oz can artichoke hearts, quartered * 1 cup chicken or vegetarian broth * 8 large eggs* Salt and fresh ground pepper* Mint leaves for garnish Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a large earthenware cazuela (a paella pan is also perfect) or any stove-to-oven dish, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the onions and garlic and sauté until transparent and soft. Add the potatoes and cook slightly browned and barely fork-tender. Add the asparagus and simmer for a few minutes until softened. Add the peas and artichokes and stir to combine. Add the stock and simmer for 5-6 minutes or until about half the liquid evaporates. You want it juicy but not swimming in broth. Using a large spoon, make eight evenly spaced indentations in the vegetable mixture. Crack an egg into each indentation and season with salt and pepper. Scatter the bacon and chorizo over (if using) and bake in the oven until the eggs are cooked to your liking. (I prefer that they are set, which is about 10-12 minutes) Sprinkle the mint leaves on top and serve hot and bubbly.SERVES 4 AS A MAIN COURSEFrom the Archives ,- Thank you for subscribing.

In a large earthenware cazuela (a paella pan is also perfect) or any stove-to-oven dish, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the onions and garlic and sauté until transparent and soft. Add the potatoes and cook slightly browned and barely fork-tender. Add the asparagus and simmer for a few minutes until softened. Add the peas and artichokes and stir to combine. Add the stock and simmer for 5-6 minutes or until about half the liquid evaporates. You want it juicy but not swimming in broth. Using a large spoon, make eight evenly spaced indentations in the vegetable mixture. Crack an egg into each indentation and season with salt and pepper. Scatter the bacon and chorizo over (if using) and bake in the oven until the eggs are cooked to your liking. (I prefer that they are set, which is about 10-12 minutes) Sprinkle the mint leaves on top and serve hot and bubbly.SERVES 4 AS A MAIN COURSEFrom the Archives ,- Thank you for subscribing.

In this week's episode of "Tuesday Night Detectives" on Vintage Classic radio, we dive into the thrilling world of detective radio dramas, starting with "The Adventures of Sam Spade" in the "Love Letter Caper" episode, originally aired on March 27th, 1949. In this intriguing episode, Sam Spade, played by Howard Duff, gets embroiled in a mystery when he receives a cryptic love letter that leads him down a dangerous path involving deceit, jealousy and murder. Alongside Spade, Lurene Tuttle stars as his witty and loyal secretary, Effie Perrine, with additional performances by Joseph Kearns, Janet Waldo and John McIntire, creating a web of characters each with their own secrets. Following that, we explore the exotic and suspenseful "Bold Venture", featuring the iconic duo Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall in the episode "Camellias and a Ruby". Set in the sultry backdrop of Havana, Bogart as Slate Shannon and Bacall as Sailor Duval find themselves caught in a tale of mystery and adventure involving stolen jewels, specifically a priceless ruby, and the delicate scent of camellias leading them to danger and intrigue. The chemistry between Bogart and Bacall, along with the support of Jester Hairston and E. Everett Sloane, brings to life a story of romance and peril on the high seas. Join us as we unravel the mysteries and dive deep into the adventures of Sam Spade and the bold ventures of Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, on "Tuesday Night Detectives" here at Vintage Classic Radio.

Ingredients for good fill dirt, pests in lawn and Pike Nursery with camellia tips

I have been a little unsettled for the last couple of months; doing repairs to my house and fixing all sorts of leaks and rots has been everyday chaos. But I feel the end is near, and as long as my friends don't mind climbing over construction materials as they come through the front door, I am happy to invite a group for dinner. I have to say that the culinary muses are not back. And so, for this dinner party, I relied on what I call the fifty-fifty magic. The concept of making a meal using some supermarket shortcuts and some made-from-scratch. Which, I do think it is how the majority of people entertain, right? I love to cook, but mainly, I love to entertain…. which is different. I need a menu that doesn't require a lot of knife action, that everyone likes, feels festive, and at the same time, it is easy to dress up. Stews and risotto come to mind, but in this case, it is still too hot for chili, and I am not passionate about beef bourguignon or any of those other stews with mystery ingredients. I like to see what I am eating. And so, using the wonderful simmer sauces from my friend Nidhi of Masala Mama, I created a menu that is full of flavor and pizzaz…. with very little work. (Check out her beautiful website and the delicious recipes… ) Indian food is so delicious and different, right? I don't have it every day, but it is definitely on my monthly rotation. I love the essence and the aromas, the spices and flavor combinations, and the easiness of switching out for vegetarian options…. I make two or three dishes in the morning and then warm up as we are ready to eat. The flavors will be even better. Warm naan, lots of mango chutney, and a bowl of raita make the whole dinner delicious and fun to eat. A chicken curry dinner is the epitome of 80's entertaining. Well, actually, if I really think about it, it probably fits into the '70s too. Exotic, flavorful, colorful, and oh-so-easy to make. And now, back in fashion, with the beautiful simmer sauces so readily available. It is so easy to recreate delectable flavors. Elevating these dishes to dinner party status is as easy as opening a jar and garnishing it with diced tomato, or a sprig of cilantro, or a dollop of sour cream. It may not be authentic Indian, but it is delicious! Inviting friends for Indian food always involves spirited conversations and a lot of fun. I love the idea of a “fork” menu, especially for those dinners where we have to eat with a plate on our laps or on a table that feels a little tight. You know I can never say no when a guest asks to bring a friend. For this festive night, I am setting the table in tones of purple and pink, white monogrammed plates, and lots of silver and bronze accents, making this table elegant and seasonal. Yes, camellias are beginning to appear, and small bouquets around the table give a touch of that oh-so-flattering pink. The menu: Lentil Soup with Cumin Chicken Tikka Massala (made with coconut milk) Eggplant & Chickpea with Coconut Curry Basmati RiceBasque Cheesecake with Berry Sauce Timing: The day before: Set the table and did the flowers for the house. (Took lots of photos…) Made the berry sauce for chilling overnight. In the morning:Made the basque cheesecake. Prepared the chicken and eggplant curry.Two hours before the guests arrive:Prepare the hors d'oeuvre and chop the ingredients for the rice. (The rice is made just before serving as it needs to be rinsed a few times to remove extra starch)One hour before guests arrive:Go get ready. Help has arrived! 20 minutes before dinner:Cook the rice and warm up the chicken and eggplant over low heat. You are probably asking yourself about the wine for dinner, right? I like to serve red because the flavors are so intense that I think it works, but really, I would also be super happy with a cold beer. By the way, just in case you are asking, I am drooling over a set of Ruffoni pots and pans. Take a look. They are great looking and incredibly glamorous. I want them all (well, not all, just the ones with two handles). I can't decide between the hammered copper and the stainless. As I always serve buffet style, these pots are going to become my new practical, and beautiful serving pieces. A successful dinner party is when everyone leaves with a smile, satiated from a comforting dinner, and happy to have spent a few hours with friends. In the end, it is all about the people; there is nothing better than good friends gathered around. With this thought, I leave you,Sincerely,The Serial Hostess Thank you for subscribing.

We had it all...just like Bogie & Bacall" is how the famous song goes, and they had it all for awhile- a Hollywood married couple that appeared in films and in their radio show- Bold Venture. Bold Venture was a syndicated radio series that aired from 1951 to 1952. Bogart plays Slate Shannon, owner of a Cuban Hotel before Castro came and took it all away, and Lauren Bacall goes by the name of Sailor Duvall.Just like in real life, they own a sailboat and spend a bunch of time in it while they encounter every type of low life imaginable and manage to solve crimes in the process. Its escapist fun and pretty well written.

The Friday Newsletter | Daily Gardener Community   Historical Events 1746 Birth of André Michaux (books about this person), French botanist and explorer. André grew up on a royal farm in Satory south of Versailles. His father trained both he and his brother in horticulture, and after his father died, André carried on at the farm. André married a prosperous farmer's daughter from a nearby farm named Cécile Claye. A month shy of their first wedding anniversary Cécile delivered a son, Francois-André. Later in life, André would name an oak in his son's honor. Tragically, Cécile died after the delivery. André battled through the next decade by studying horticulture. His friend, the naturalist Louis-Guillaume Le Monnier ("Lew-ee Ghee-ohm Lew-moh-nay"), urged him to focus on exotic plants, and the great botanist Bernard de Jussieu gave André a solid understanding of botany. The next step for André was travel. In 1786, André was asked to go to North America. As a single father, he brought François-Andre, then 15, along with him. André's mission was to establish a botanical garden in America. The goal was to set up a botanical clearinghouse of sorts and send seeds and specimens back to France. André established his nursery on the land where the Charleston Area National Airport exists today. In fact, at the Charleston airport, there is a stunning mural installed in 2016 that honors Andre and his son. In one panel, Andre-François and his father are depicted in the potager or kitchen garden. The central scene shows the rice fields along the Ashley River and the Charleston Harbor, where Michaux introduced one of the first Camellia plants. Native to Asia, Camellias are small, evergreen flowering trees or shrubs, and Camellias are in the Theaceae or tea family, which is why Camellias are commonly called tea plants. In Floriography ("FLOOR-EE-ah-grah-FEE") or the language of flowers, the Camellia represents love and loyalty. Camellia blossoms are beautiful and come in various colors, sizes, bloom times, and forms. And, best of all, Camellias are long-lived and can grow for 100 to 200 years. Finally, here are two fun facts about the Camellia: In California, Sacramento is nicknamed the Camellia City, and the Camellia is the state flower of Alabama.   1836 Birth of Sir Michael Foster, English physician, and iris breeder. He's regarded as the father of iris cultivation. In the late 1800s, Michael became the first person to crossbreed new varieties of Iris. He started his work with purple and yellow iris and made a beautiful blend by the third generation. Soon Michael had large wild iris specimens arriving from all over the world. He found that missionaries could be a great help to him. They sent Trojana, Cypriana, and Mesopotamica varieties from the Near East. In time, Michael's iris creations had bigger flowers and grew taller. He crossed Irises in every conceivable way, and he once wrote to the plant breeder William John Caparne, "In hybridizing, be bold." Michael once said, Nature is ever making signs to us; she is ever whispering to us the beginnings of her secrets.   April 26, 1970, Elizabeth Lawrence (books by this author) reflected on the spring, writing, This spring, I was asked if I am bored. How can anyone ask that of a gardener? No Gardener could ever be bored, for ... Every season is new and different from all those that went before.  There always is something new in bloom, something expected and something unexpected, something lost that is found, and there is always disappointment, but being sad is not the same thing as being bored. “It acts like spring, but I dare not hope,” Carolyn Dorman wrote on Saint Valentine's Day. "It was about this time in 1899 that the temperature here in Northern Louisiana was 20 degrees below… God spare us, daffodils are beginning now, and Magnolia Alba Superba will soon be in bloom.”  It is the white form of Magnolia x soulangiana that Caroline calls “alba superba”. She thinks it more beautiful than the Yulan. In my garden the Yulan (Magnolia denudata) and two of its hybrids M. x soulangiana and M. x veitschii, came into bloom together on March 8th. I can't think of when, if ever before, all three have bloomed at once when the weather was warm but not hot, when there was no frost and no rain, and when only a few petals were whipped off by wind.   Grow That Garden Library™ Book Recommendation Private Gardens of Santa Barbara by Margie Grace This book came out in 2020, and the subtitle is The Art of Outdoor Living.

This is an elegant coffee table book - a total escape - to the lush spaces of Santa Barbara's private gardens, and they are water-smart, maintenance-smart, and fire-smart. This book is 256 pages of incredible private California gardens showcased by one of the country's top designers.

His seminal work, The Gray Notebook, was a diary he wrote in 1918 during the onset of the Spanish flu pandemic. Joseph was a law student at the University at Barcelona, but when the school shut down, he was forced to return home to Palafrugell ("Pala-frew-yay") on the coast of Spain. Realizing he would rather be a writer than a lawyer, he kept a journal to improve his writing skills. It was Joseph Pla who once said, Cooking is the landscape in a saucepan.   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener And remember: For a happy, healthy life, garden every day.
