Podcasts about Fabaceae

Hello!Welcome back to another archaeogastronomical adventure!Today's episode is all about ancient vegetarianism.And the philosopher Pythagoras is the central figure on all the stuff we talk today.Pythagoras, the father of mathematics, was born and raised in Samos. around 580BCE. Even though Pythagoras spent more than forty years in his birthplace, he eventually decided to set sail for new seas; his thirst for knowledge led him to travel throughout most of the then known world, most notably Egypt and Babylon, centres of wisdom knowledge and secret mystical rites, before settling down to Croton, a town in Magna Graecia, modern Southern Italy.Notes for some names dropped:Theophrastus (c. 371–287 BCE) was a Peripatetic philosopher who was Aristotle's close colleague and successor at the Lyceum. He wrote many treatises in all areas of philosophy, in order to support, improve, expand, and develop the Aristotelian system. Of his few surviving works, the most important are Peri phytōn historia (“Inquiry into Plants”) and Peri phytōn aitiōn (“Growth of Plants”), comprising nine and six books, respectively.Aulus Gellius (c. 125 – after 180 AD) was a Roman author and grammarian, who was probably born and certainly brought up in Rome. He was educated in Athens, after which he returned to Rome.Ovid (born March 20, 43 bce, Sulmo, Roman Empire [now Sulmona, Italy]—died 17 ce, Tomis, Moesia [now Constanṭa, Romania]) was a Roman poet noted especially for his Ars amatoria and Metamorphoses. Vetch: A member of the pea family, Fabaceae, which forms the third largest plant family in the world with over thirteen thousand species. Of these species, the bitter vetch, was one of the first domesticated crops grown by neolithic people. There are many different vetch species, the purple flowered varieties are all safe to eat.Music Credits:Pavlos Kapraloshttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzgAonk4-uVhXXjKSF-Nz1AThanks for listening!The Delicious LegacySupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-delicious-legacy.

À l'occasion de la journée internationale de la santé des végétaux le 12 mai, faisant suite à la journée mondiale des espèces menacées le 11 mai, BSG rediffuse les épisodes sur quelques grandes familles de plantes !Les Astéracées, autrefois appelées «Composées» comprennent près de 23.500 espèces, ce qui en fait la 2e famille du monde végétal et des plantes à fleurs, derrière les Orchidacées (25.000 espèces) mais devant les Fabacées. Chez ces plantes, les fleurs apparentes sont en réalité des «capitules» étoilés de fleurs minuscules, d'où leur nom en latin Aster, signifiant étoile. Ce sont très majoritairement des plantes herbacées, même si la famille comprend aussi des arbres, des arbustes ou des lianes. Cette grande famille de plantes a donné peu de plantes cultivées, beaucoup moins que les Poaceae (graminées comme le blé), les Fabaceae (légumineuses comme le haricot, les lentilles ou les pois) ou les Solanaceae (pomme de terre ou tomate). La base de données FAOSTAT n'en retient que six : artichaut, carthame, laitue et chicorée, pyrèthre (fleurs séchées) et graines de tournesol. La principale espèce cultivée de cette famille est la laitue (Lactuca sativa), principale plante consommée comme salade dans le monde, sous de multiples formes : pommée, batavia, frisée, romaine, iceberg … Il y a aussi les chicorées (endive ou chicon), la scarole, la frisée, ainsi que la chicorée à café. Les Asteraceae fournissent aussi des racines et tubercules comestibles : salsifis et topinambour. Elles fournissent également des graines oléagineuses (tournesol), des infusions (camomille) mais aussi des liqueurs : l'absinthe, produit de la grande absinthe et le génépi. La stévia est un célèbre édulcorant, au pouvoir sucrant 200 à 300 fois supérieur à celui du saccharose, sans apporter de calories. De nombreuses espèces sont utilisées comme plantes ornementales, bleuet, chrysanthèm, dahlia, souci, œillet d'Inde … De très nombreuses espèces d'Asteraceae sont considérées comme des mauvaises herbes des cultures : pissenlits, laiterons, cirses, ambroisies (celle là, originaire d'Amérique du Nord, est en plus envahissante et très allergène) … Les Asteraceae renferment relativement peu d'espèces toxiques, qui sont souvent à l'origine d'empoisonnements du bétail. Parmi les espèces les plus dangereuses figurent le séneçon._______Le Chemin de la Nature (CDN), fondé en 2011 par Christophe de Hody, a pour objectif de transmettre la connaissance des plantes sauvages, des champignons et de leurs usages au plus grand nombre. Il propose des ateliers et stages hebdomadaires, mais également des formations en ligne qui permettent aux amoureux de la nature d'acquérir des connaissances solides sur les plantes et les champignons sauvages et leurs usages._______ 

À l'occasion de la journée internationale de la santé des végétaux le 12 mai, faisant suite à la journée mondiale des espèces menacées le 11 mai, BSG rediffuse les épisodes sur quelques grandes familles de plantes !Les Apiacées, anciennement Ombellifères, comprennent près de 3.500 espèces. Elles sont surtout présentes dans les régions tempérées du monde. C'est l'une des plus importantes familles de plantes à fleurs, après les Orchidaceae, les Asteraceae (composées) de l'épisode précédent, et les Fabaceae (légumineuses) par le nombre d'espèces. Le nom vient d'Apium, qui désignait dans l'antiquité le céleri. Cette famille regroupe en particulier : l'anis vert, l'aneth, la berce, la carotte, le cerfeuil, le céleri, le persil, le panais, le fenouil, la coriandre, le cumin, l'angélique … Mis à part ces légumes ou condiments, 4 sont mortellement toxiques comme la Grande ciguë, la Petite ciguë, l'Œnanthe safranée et le Cerfeuil des fous. Un moyen mnémotechnique permet de les distinguer en France : «s'il y a des poils, c'est au poil», les ombellifères toxiques mortelles n'étant pas poilues. Attention, c'est juste indicatif car les dangers de confusion restent forts et le cueilleur ne doit pas oublier l'existence d'exceptions : certaines ombellifères poilues, sans être mortelles, sont toxiques (par exemple les chérophylles, qui présentent des poils). Les Apiacées présentent 4 caractéristiques : Inflorescence, typique, est une ombelle;Feuilles alternes, très découpées ;Tige creuse et dotée de canaux sécréteurs de résines et d'essences odorantes ;Fruits secs doubles (diakènes)._______ Le Chemin de la Nature (CDN), fondé en 2011 par Christophe de Hody, a pour objectif de transmettre la connaissance des plantes sauvages, des champignons et de leurs usages au plus grand nombre.Il propose des ateliers et stages hebdomadaires, mais également des formations en ligne qui permettent aux amoureux de la nature d'acquérir des connaissances solides sur les plantes et les champignons sauvages et leurs usages._______

This program is increasingly becoming a Community Information Resource that assists our native plants and critters – no apologies here!  We read in the news that the DOC is translocating rare/endangered birds and lizards to keep them safe and increase their populations. Gardeners can do exactly the same thing for our butterflies and moths – we even have a New Zealand Moths and Butterfly Trust that does exactly the same thing, so why not join them and enrich your quarter acre Paradise?  Monarchs are mating and looking for places to lay their eggs. We all know their food plants:  Swan plants (bit boring in my opinion!) can be sown right now – Kings Seeds and other seed merchants have these popular plants in stock; Moths and Butterfly trust also stocks a heap of different seeds for Monarchs. Germination is good at warmer temps, and 21 degrees is recommended.  Fabulous Asclepias species with colourful flowers are also suitable host plants – more my gig!  Prettier relatives of the swan plant. Photo / Supplied  Whatever you sow: aim for heaps of plants and keep some of them in large pots as “spares” for when famine breaks out.  Admiral Butterflies love nettles to lay their eggs on; if you have a safe space you can try the native Ongaonga stinging nettle. Just be careful, they are ferocious (Hence their name Urtica ferox).  Red admirals are keen on that tree nettle (ferox) but will also feed on perennial nettle (dioica).  Yellow admirals tend to go for the smaller nettle species as food for the caterpillars.  I have both admirals in abundance here in the Halswell Quarry. The reds seem to overwinter here too.  Red admiral (left) – Yellow admiral (right). Photo / Supplied  Just be aware that red admirals may not be as common in the Auckland region, so extra food plants might make them be a little more “regularly observed”.  They are plentiful in the south though, the yellow admirals are pretty common right around the motu.  For our Blue Butterflies (commonly known as “Blues”), sow some Trifolium, Medicago or Lotus, as well as lucern, trefoil and clover species. Note how these plants are members of the Fabaceae (they are Legumes!).  Copper butterflies and boulder coppers (in the Genus Lycaena) are absolutely beautiful, mostly orange-coloured insects that fly quite erratically through the landscape, often not too far from their preferred host plant on which the caterpillars feed. By planting the appropriate species of Muehlenbeckia (complexa or australis, not astonii) you'll find the butterflies often “in attendance”.  The Bolder coppers are often characterised by a deep purple-blue reflection on the wing scales. Photo / Supplied Their food plant is Muehlenbeckia axellaris (creeping pohuehue).  More butterfly details can be found of the Moths and Butterflies Trust website: https://nzbutterfly.info/  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The pea is most commonly the small spherical seed or the seed-pod of the flowering plant species Lathyrus oleraceus. Each pod contains several peas, which can be green or yellow. Botanically, pea pods a e fruit, since they contain seeds and develop from the ovary of a (pea) flower. The name is also used to describe other edible seeds from the Fabaceae such as the pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan), the cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), and the seeds from several species of Lathyrus.

Sesbania drummondii, known as poisonbean, rattlebox and rattlebush, is a medium-sized perennial shrub in the legume family Fabaceae. It is native to the southeastern United States, from Texas east to Florida.

It's possible that you've heard about a new species of bee from Western Australia that has a snout like a dog. But did you know it specializes on just a few species of plant from the Fabaceae (legume) family? And how did it get named L. zephyr? And what does it mean to be a “plasterer bee?” Hear about all of this and more as we get a behind the scenes look into the wonderful world of native bees with Dr. Kit Prendergast. Kit Prendergast's paper “Leioproctus zephyr, an oligolectic new bee species with a distinctive clypeus” is in Volume 93 of the Journal of Hymenoptera Research.

Die Erdnuss (Arachis hypogaea), schweizerisch Spanische Nüssli[1], auch Aschantinuss oder Aschanti[2], ist eine Pflanzenart in der Unterfamilie der Schmetterlingsblütler (Faboideae) innerhalb der Familie der Hülsenfrüchtler (Fabaceae oder Leguminosae). Die Frucht der Erdnuss ist botanisch gesehen eine Hülsenfrucht, die sich entwicklungsgeschichtlich zur Nuss gewandelt hat. Die Erdnuss gehört zur selben Unterfamilie wie beispielsweise die Erbse und die Bohnen-Arten. Der englische Trivialname der Erdnuss, peanut (zu deutsch „Erbsennuss“), weist auf die botanische Zugehörigkeit zur Familie der Hülsenfrüchtler hin. Die Ähnlichkeit zu botanischen Nüssen ergibt sich durch die Beschaffenheit der Samen: die Konsistenz, den hohen Fettgehalt und den vergleichsweise niedrigen Anteil an Stärke. Im Vergleich zu echten Nüssen ist der Anteil an Omega-3-Fettsäuren gering. Im Gegensatz zu den meisten anderen Hülsenfrüchten sind Erdnüsse allerdings roh genießbar. Das allergene Potential ist im Vergleich zu anderen Lebensmitteln relativ hoch. (Quelle Wikipedia)

 PLANT DOCTOR Nematodes part 1: the backstory Did you know that there are 1,000,000 species of nematodes that have been identified?  Nematodes live in our environment and although microscopic, unsurprisingly, are related to earthworms  The majority of nematodes aren't plant or crop destructors. However, the few that attack the cell walls of plants can cause serious damage from which the plant/crop usually doesn't recover. Then there's the problem of identifying what's going on with plants that are affected by nematodes. Have you ever had plants that seem to wilt despite you watering them religiously?  What they look like Nematodes are a round worm but because they are unable to be seen by the naked eye, I would describe them as thread like with a large head and mouth. Arm yourself with a magnifying glass and have a look at the roots of plants that you suspect have been attacked by nematodes. You should be able to see them then.   Coffee tree nematode   If nematodes are on your plants the symptoms range from perhaps they're just stunted and don't seem to grow much, r like the coffee tree pictured, continually looks like it's wilting despite the watering it receives. Another symptom is yellowing of foliage. Once the plant has been dug up, nodules on roots will be evident. However, other factors create nodules on roots as in nitrogen fixing plants such as plants in the Fabaceae family.   What could be the problem? Wilting symptoms can be attributed to a range of other factors. So let's find out by listening to the podcast Your host  of Real World Gardener, Marianne is talking with Steve McGrane, agriculturist and horticulturist. Next week we tackle the many, many ways you have to control the bad nematode, namely root knot nematodes. If you have any questions you can email us Realworldgardener@gmail.com or write in to 2rrr, PO Box 644 Gladesville NSW 1675.

Se denomina legumbre (del latín legumen) a la semilla contenida en las plantas de la familia de las leguminosas (Leguminosae). Las legumbres constituyen un grupo de alimentos muy homogéneo, desarrollados a partir del gineceo, de un solo carpelo y que se abre tanto por la sutura ventral como por el nervio dorsal, en dos valvas y con las semillas en una hilera ventral. Estas vainas suelen ser rectas y carnosas. Por lo general poseen una carne interior esponjosa, aterciopelada y de color blanco. Su parte interna corresponde al mesocarpio y al endocarpio del fruto. El tamaño de las legumbres varía desde un milímetro o poco más hasta cincuenta milímetros. Su forma, aunque en la mayoría de los casos es alargada y comprimida, como la de las judías, frijoles o habichuelas, varía muchísimo. Estos frutos pertenecen al gran grupo de las plantas leguminosas (familia Fabaceae) y, a pesar del gran número de especies que componen esta familia, las utilizadas para la alimentación humana y del ganado son relativamente pocas. La parte de la planta consumida en alimentación animal y humana varía entre las distintas especies de leguminosas. En la mayor parte de los casos, la parte comestible coincide con la utilizada por la planta como almacén de sustancias de reserva. La gran variación existente en la parte consumida es una consecuencia de la diversidad de estrategias utilizadas por las leguminosas para su adaptación a los medios más diversos. En algunas regiones de algunos países (como Venezuela y Colombia, por ejemplo) el término legumbres viene a ser sinónimo de verduras en general.

The family Fabaceae is one of the most ecologically successful and diverse plant families in the world, especially in arid and subtropical regions. In this episode we talk Legumes - their ecology, floral morphology and evolution - with Marty Wojciechowski at ASU. We talk about the 50kb inversion, psychoactive and poisonous secondary chemistry, subfamily classifications elucidated by molecular phylogenetics, how mimosoids lack Rhizobium root affiliations (bummer) and a bunch more interesting sh#t. Plant in the thumbnail photo is Schotia afra. 

#gliricidia #leguminosa #melíferas Gliricidia sepium, popularmente referenciada simplesmente por seu gênero Gliricidia, é uma árvore leguminosa de tamanho médio pertencente à família Fabaceae. É uma importante árvore multifuncional, com uma distribuição nativa do México à Colômbia, mas agora amplamente introduzida em outras zonas tropicais. No Brasil, é bastante usada atualmente em sistemas agroflorestais e na agricultura sintrópica.

I spent so much time jabbering about my conversion to a desert rat and monsoon believer that I left out some fun stuff. Native bees that buzz pollinate flowers are Bombus species., Centris spp., and Anthophora spp. And yes, you really can hang out by the flowers and see and hear this happening! Oh, and look at how the petals of a senna flower create a cup; sonicated exploding pollen ricochets off the petals…there is no way a bee is leaving without pollen attached to it. The featured senna is Senna wislizeni and the specific epithet is in honor of Friedrich Wislizen, a German born American physician, botanist, plant collector…yet another pesky immigrant! His name shows up in a few other species as well and what little I read about him it sounds like he was a wonderful and deserving fellow. So the senna can be called Wislizinus' senna…quite a mouthful…or simply, woody senna, because it is. Sennas are in the Fabaceae and there are eight native species found in Arizona. Woody senna is found in Cochise County and into Sonora from 4,000' to 5,000' on slopes and mesas. The cloudless sulphur butterfly is Phoebis sennae. Phoebe is the goddess of the moon and sennae refers to the host plants. Cloudless sulphurs are common and beautiful.  Checkout the caterpillar in the photo below. The photos of the flowers and caterpillar are mine and taken of some plants that I planted years ago along our drive. Every July and August they bloom and remind me of my monsoon belief system.

Helloooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!Welcome back to another episode of our archaogastronomical adventures!I hope you're all well and healthy and had a lovely Easter.Today's episode is all about ancient vegetarianism. And the philosopher Pythagoras is the central figure on all these talk today.Pythagoras, the father of mathematics, was born and raised in Samos. around 580BCE. He is one of the most acclaimed pre-Socratic philosophers and the Pythagorean Theorem bears his name. Samos is a green island known for its mixed flora, full of mountains and plains. Olive groves are covering most of these plains, since the age of Pythagoras and even before, while the main varieties are the local Ntopia Elia, Koronéiki and Kalamòn. Even though Pythagoras spent more than forty years in his birthplace, he eventually decided to set sail for new seas; his thirst for knowledge led him to travel throughout most of the then known world, most notably Egypt and Babylon, centres of wisdom knowledge and secret mystical rites, before settling down to Croton, a town in Magna Graecia, modern Southern Italy. He may have found pupils to follow him, and welcoming ears to listen to his preaching....More on the audio if you press play!Notes for this episode:Theophrastus (c. 371–287 BCE) was a Peripatetic philosopher who was Aristotle's close colleague and successor at the Lyceum. He wrote many treatises in all areas of philosophy, in order to support, improve, expand, and develop the Aristotelian system. Of his few surviving works, the most important are Peri phytōn historia (“Inquiry into Plants”) and Peri phytōn aitiōn (“Growth of Plants”), comprising nine and six books, respectively.Aulus Gellius (c. 125 – after 180 AD) was a Roman author and grammarian, who was probably born and certainly brought up in Rome. He was educated in Athens, after which he returned to Rome.Diogenes Laërtius was a biographer of the Greek philosophers. Nothing is definitively known about his life, but his surviving Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers is a principal source for the history of ancient Greek philosophy Porphyry of Tyre (c. 234 – c. 305 AD) was a Phoenician Neoplatonic philosopher born in Tyre, Roman Syria during Roman rule. He edited and published The Enneads, the only collection of the work of Plotinus, his teacher. His commentary on Euclid's Elements was used as a source by Pappus of Alexandria.He wrote original works on a wide variety of topics, ranging from music to Homer to vegetarianism. His Isagoge, or Introduction, an introduction to logic and philosophy, was the standard textbook on logic throughout the Middle Ages in its Latin and Arabic translations. Through works such as Philosophy from Oracles and Against the Christians (which was banned by Constantine the Great), he was involved in a controversy with early Christians.His parents named him Malchus ("king" in the Semitic languages) but his teacher in Athens, Cassius Longinus, gave him the name Porphyrius ("clad in purple"), possibly a reference to his Phoenician heritage, or a punning allusion to his name and the color of royal robes. Under Longinus he studied grammar and rhetoric. Epicurus is one of the major philosophers in the Hellenistic period, the three centuries following the death of Alexander the Great in 323 B.C.E. (and of Aristotle in 322 B.C.E.). Epicurus developed an unsparingly materialistic metaphysics, empiricist epistemology, and hedonistic ethics.Plotinus (204/5 – 270 C.E.), is generally regarded as the founder of Neoplatonism. He is one of the most influential philosophers in antiquity after Plato and Aristotle.Plutarch (ca. 45–120 CE) was a Greek Middle Platonist philosopher, historian, biographer, essayist, and priest at the Temple of Apollo. He is known primarily for his Parallel Lives, a series of biographies of illustrious Greeks and Romans, and Moralia, a collection of essays and speeches.Croton was an ancient Greek colony in Magna Graecia (southern Italy) that was established circa 710 BC. In Greek society, Croton led in Olympic titles, physics, and sobriety, and Pythagoras founded his school in Croton in 530 BC. Crotone, Latin Croton, port town, Calabria regione, southern Italy. It lies along the Gulf of Taranto, northwest of the Cape of Colonne, and east-northeast of Catanzaro. It was known as Cotrone from the Middle Ages until the Italian form of its early name was restored in 1928. Cylon of Croton was a leading citizen of Croton, who led a revolt against the Pythagoreans, probably around 509 BC. ... After the success of the rebellion, all debts owed were eliminated and property was seized for redistribution; this arguably resulted in Pythagoras being expelled from Croton. Pedanius Dioscorides was a Greek physician, pharmacologist, botanist, and author of De materia medica —a 5-volume Greek encyclopedia about herbal medicine and related medicinal substances, that was widely read for more than 1,500 years. He was employed as a physician in the Roman army. Alexis, (born c. 375 bc, Thurii, Lucania [Italy]—died c. 275), one of the foremost writers of Middle and New Comedy at Athens, a low form of comedy that succeeded the Old Comedy of Aristophanes.Vetch: A member of the pea family, Fabaceae, which forms the third largest plant family in the world with over thirteen thousand species. Of these species, the bitter vetch, was one of the first domesticated crops grown by neolithic people. There are many different vetch species, the purple flowered varieties are all safe to eat.

Clovers are often suggested for lawn alternatives or for incorporating into our yards to make them more pollinator friendly. Clovers can also play important roles in agriculture either in grazing systems or as cover crops in row cropping systems. In addition, they are a favorite of deer and rabbits. However, most (if not all) of the clovers in these systems and that we typically think of are exotic species. Our native clover species are not nearly as well known. In this episode of the Backyard Ecology podcast, we talk with Jonathan Kubesh. Jonathan is a PhD student at Virginia Tech University who is studying clovers. Jonathan brings a unique perspective to this topic, because although much of his work focuses on native clovers and native clover conservation, his field of study is in agriculture and agronomy. This allows him to serve as a valuable bridge between the two fields and areas of interest. While the term “clover” is often loosely used for several different genera of plants, true clovers all belong to the genus Trifolium. In the eastern U.S., we have approximately 10 different species of native clovers in the Trifolium genus. We also have a number of exotic species, such as the familiar white clovers that can be found in our yards and fields. Many of our native clovers are threatened or endangered. Some of our native clovers are tied to very special soil conditions and habitat types such as the limestone glades in the Nashville, TN area or the shale barrens which can be found in parts of Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. Other native clover species are tied to disturbance regimes that no longer exist, such as fire or short-term, intensive grazing by bison or deer. In our conversation, Jonathan and I discuss many different topics. A large part of our conversation is devoted to native clovers. Our discussion about native clovers covers their biology, the conservation efforts surrounding them, how agriculture and horticulture may play a role in those conservation efforts, the importance of keeping good records, and the valuable role of historical collections and herbarium records in helping to discover new populations and in guiding restoration efforts. Jonathan and I also talk about establishing clover yards and some of the factors that you might want to consider when deciding whether a clover yard is right for you. Like with so many other things in life, there isn't one single answer that will fit all situations. However, Jonathan does an excellent job of discussing possibilities for different situations and for pointing us towards how to find more specific local help for determining the best option for our own unique situations.

Ärtväxter (Fabaceae), eller baljväxter, är den näst största familjen inom gömfröväxterna med omkring 650 släkten och cirka 20 000 arter. Bland dessa finns många livsmedel, såsom inom bönsläktet (Phaseolus), ärtsläktet (Pisum), jordnötssläktet (Arachis) och sojabönssläktet (Glycine). Detta kan en läsa på Wikipedia. Men förutom att figurera i naturen så figurerar det också en hel del baljväxter i sagorna.

Episode 33: Albizia julibrisson is one of my new favorite new trees. Commonly called The Tree of Happiness, Persian Silk Tree, and Mimosa, Albizia is native to Asia and a member of the Fabaceae family. I love its pink puffball flowers, gorgeous fragrance, whimsical nature, and potent medicine.  To learn about Albizia, I spoke with Community Herbalist and Traditional Food Ways Educator Lindsay Kolasa.  Lindsay and I start the interview by acknowledging that in some areas, Albizia julibrissin can be a weedy invasive plant. Albizia is self seeding, thrives in disturbed soil, and has very viable seeds. So please be mindful of planting it- especially if you live in a place where it can easily spread and outcompete native plants. With this in mind, Lindsay and I talk about invasive plant medicine and why it's important to learn the traditional uses of these plants.  We then dive into Albizia's long history of medicinal use. Mentioned in the Shen Nong Ben Cao Materia Medica in the 700's, Albizia julibrissin was highly valued in traditional Chinese Medicine.  Albizia's flowers and bark are useful in treating insomnia, depression, and anxiety. Albizia is a "calming spirit" herb and promotes feelings of well being, peace, and (you guessed it!) happiness. Lindsay tells how to sustainably harvest both bark and flowers and prepare them for teas, infusions, and tinctures. Lindsay Kolasa is originally from New Orleans and Mississippi. She has taught at large conferences, such as the Southeast Women’s Herb Conference and for small groups, such as feisty garden clubs. Lindsay also ran an apothecary in the red, clay hills of eastern Mississippi, where her family stretches back six generations. To learn more about Lindsay, visit her website at LindsayKolasa.com.

For instance, if you have a fence that runs around your property, plant some thorny bushes in front of it or at least in the corners where someone is more likely to climb over. Under windows Get Plants That Are Thick, Tall, and Wide If an intruder can simply step over or through them, they aren’t going to do you any good. At the same time, you don’t want your plants to be too tall. After all, you still want to be able to see the street from your house. You’re building a barrier, not a wall. 1. Get Plants That Are Thick, Tall, and Wide If an intruder can simply step over or through them, they aren’t going to do you any good. At the same time, you don’t want your plants to be too tall. After all, you still want to be able to see the street from your house. You’re building a barrier, not a wall. 2. Make Sure They’re In Front Of Weak Spots You also want to be strategic about where you put your plants. For instance, if you have a fence that runs around your property, plant some thorny bushes in front of it or at least in the corners where someone is more likely to climb over. Another place to plant thorny bushes is in front of your windows. If burglars can’t break through a window without getting torn up by one of your plants, they might not even bother. You may want to take things a step further and create an entire perimeter around your property with a layer or two of home security plants. It’s going to require more yard work, but if you feel safer as a result, then it might be worth it. The Best Home Security Plants Here are some of the most effective plants for home security: 1. Blackberry If you want a thorny plant that’s going to grow as quickly as possible, the Blackberry should be one of your top choices. No, this is not one of the most attractive plants, but it can grow to be over five fight high in a short amount of time, and it’s packed with thorns and prickles that will tear up any attacking party. The biggest downside to the Blackberry bush is that because it grows so quickly, you need to dedicate time to pruning and trimming it. As long as you’re willing to do that, it’s a good choice. 2. Rose the rose bush is well known for its thorny branches that also cause infection when they pierce the skin. The rose plant is also very beautiful and can add value to your home and property. The gorgeous flowers it produces are among the most recognizable in the world. If you happen to have a wife who loves roses, you’ll have no trouble talking her into this option. 3. BARBERRYThe genus Berberis includes over 400 different species of evergreen and deciduous shrubs with varying heights of three to 10 feet. Shade tolerant, drought resistant, and hardy to Zone 4, barberry grows in almost any type of soil and requires very little maintenance. Often planted as ornamentals, the attractive foliage conceals a darker side. The branches are covered with leaves that have a single thorn at each node, which makes barberry ideal for creating a dense, spiny hedge, or an impenetrable barrier. Some non-native species are considered invasive and growing them is banned in some states, so be sure to check your local bylaws before you plant. Also note that not all varieties have thorns. 4. BLACKTHORN Blackthorn, Prunus spinsoa, has had a pound of my flesh on more than one occasion in the autumn. The small dark berries, called “sloes,” are a favorite of mine for making sloe gin. They are tart, but with plenty of added sugar, will transform a bottle of gin into a delicious liqueur in time for Christmas. Collecting sloes, however, is no fun. They grow on a deciduous shrub with dense branches and evil thorns. Reaching through the branches for the small berries can be a painful experience thanks to the large spikes on its dark, almost black, bark. The thorns stick out at right angles on the intertwined branches and can be up to two inches long. Growing in dense thickets, the blackthorn is commonly seen in its native England, along the edges of open fields. Suitable for growers in Zones 4-8, blackthorn shrubs can grow up to 10 feet tall, and with minimal pruning can create a formidable barrier around the perimeter of a property. Alternatively, it can be pruned into a neat but dense and impenetrable hedge. Being deciduous, it will drop its leaves in winter, and look somewhat scraggly. Its pretty white flowers herald the arrival of spring, appearing before the foliage. Fast-growing blackthorn will tolerate almost any soil, and is somewhat salt-tolerant. Once established, it needs very little care except regular moisture – so it’s not suitable for very dry areas without additional irrigation. Blackthorn will grow in part-shade or sunny locations. It’s best kept away from your house as it isn’t particularly decorative (especially in winter) and its height can compromise visibility. Be extra careful when you are working with this plant, as the thorns have a nasty habit of breaking off under the skin and turning septic. Bear this in mind if you have pets, children, or are planting near paddocks used by livestock. 5.HONEY LOCUST The honey locust, Gleditsia triacanthos, is a fast growing, deciduous tree native to the central US. It looks like something out of your worst nightmare, with large clumps of thorns protruding from its trunk and branches – some up to eight inches long. Honey locust thrives in Zones 3-8, and will grow into a shrubby, thorny clump unless pruned to encourage a single trunk. A member of the Fabaceae family, honey locust flowers in late spring, with fragrant, cream-colored blooms. It produces seed pods that mature in the fall, and bright green foliage gives way to autumnal yellow. According to an article by Robert J. Warren, from the Department of Biology at Buffalo State University, the honey locust was cultivated by the Cherokee people for its medicinal and culinary properties. This fast-growing ornamental tree can reach a lofty 90 feet tall at maturity. It thrives in average soil, and is drought, salt, and heat tolerant. You can find bare root honey locust trees The Caspian locust, Gleditsia capsica, is native to central Asia and locations bordering the Caspian sea. Suitable for growers in Zones 6-9, even the thorns on this tree have thorns! Young specimens provide a nasty barrier, and as it matures, the trunk will show no mercy to opportunist climbers. Caspian locust thrives in full sun and well-draining, but average soil. The thorns on both of these species are monstrous, and need to be handled with respect. They will easily rip through all but the toughest leather gardening gloves, and eye protection is essential. 6. JAPANESE QUINCE Native to eastern Asia, the Japanese quince, Chaenomeles speciosa, is suitable for growers in Zones 5-9. This is a thorny, deciduous flowering shrub that produces tart, edible fruit. Growing in a mounded form, it matures to five to six feet tall and wide. Its tangled, prickly stems can be pruned into a hedge, providing a spring profusion of pretty blooms in shades of pink, red, or white. Several cultivars are available, such as ‘Falconnet Charlet,’ that blooms in early spring with salmon-pink flowers. It is suitable for planting as a thorny privacy screen, or as a back of border specimen plant. ‘Double Take Orange’ is a compact cultivar that tops out at four to five feet tall, and produces clusters of double-petaled bright orange blooms in early spring. Ideal for low hedging, or planting underneath windows or as a part of mixed borders, it has ornamental appeal as well as providing a thorny welcome to anyone who comes close. A white-flowered cultivar, ‘Nivalis’ is suitable for training up a trellis against a wall, to provide a pretty, but spiky climber. Untrained, it will top out at eight feet tall, with the same characteristic tangled, thorny branches. C. japonica is a smaller species that thrives in Zones 5-9. It grows two to three feet tall and three to six feet wide in a dense, branching form. A profusion of flowers bursts forth in early spring, followed by light green foliage. Sometimes called dwarf quince, this species is suitable for low hedging, or planting in any location where you require visibility over the top of plantings. Japanese quince is fast growing, and performs best in a full sun location with well-draining soil. It’s highly adaptable and will tolerate dry or clay soil as long as there is good drainage. Once established, plants are drought and heat tolerant.

Some grasses, known as cool-season grasses, do better in cooler, northern latitudes. Conversely, hot-season grasses do better in the warmer south. Cool-season grasses and hot-season grasses have different life cycles. The main growing spurts for cool-season grasses are spring and fall while hot-season grasses grow most in the heat of summer. The important thing to note here is that you should select a grass that is appropriate to your climate. If you have the “wrong” type of grass for your region, it will be much harder to keep your lawn green all year. Water deep and often but it isn’t just as simple as watering more when the weather heats up. When it comes to watering, preparation for the summer months should take place all year since you need to “train” your grass to become hardier. Water early You should water your lawn early in the morning – so water that doesn’t penetrate the surface will evaporate off instead of keeping your lawn moist all night. Again, a sprinkler controller is ideal for this. Moist conditions are ideal breeding grounds for fungal infections, and ensuring your lawn is watered but dry will help prevent these kinds of infection from setting in. This, in turn, will help keep your lawn healthy and more able to withstand the heat of the summer. *Mow the grass higher than you think If you want to keep your lawn green all year, never cut it to less than about 3” or 3½”. This will allow it to remain healthy and will also provide more shade for the delicate root system. Furthermore, never cut more than a third of the lawn’s total height at any one time. It’s much better to cut little and often rather than scalp your lawn each time you cut it. Keep your mower working right Whether you use a riding lawn mower, a self propelled lawn mower, an electric cordless lawn mower or any other type, it is important to keep it properly maintained. The most important part of this is ensuring blades are kept sharp – blunt blades tear grass rather than cut it, and this will damage the plant, making it more susceptible to browning. Do not mow in the sun if you care about your lawn Never mow your lawn in the heat of the summer sun – the combination of heat stress and being cut at the same time can seriously damage grass. Mow early in the morning or in the later afternoon. Feed your lawn Your lawn also needs regular feeding in order to stay green all year. Most experts recommend feeding your lawn every six to eight weeks. However, sometimes, this can cause the grass to grow to high too fast. To combat this, you should prefer lawn fertilizer with a lower nitrogen content. There is a no one answer to feeding your lawn it is a lawn by lawn situation and the type of grass you have Traffic Grass that is constantly trampled on or is used as a sports pitch is placed under a lot of stress, and during the summer months, this can quickly cause it to turn brown. Even if you usually walk or play on your lawn, it might be better “keep off the grass” in summer. Brown grass is not a problem – but green looks much better While brown grass is not a problem in itself, you may understandably prefer the look of a lush green lawn year-round. Achieving this is not simply a case of extra watering during the summer months – but as long as you know the steps to take, keeping your grass green even in summer should present no particular problems. In segment two Joey and Holly go over 6 plants you can grow for safety Make Sure They’re In Front Of Weak Spots You also want to be strategic about where you put your plants.

Some non-native species are considered invasive and growing them is banned in some states, so be sure to check your local bylaws before you plant. Also note that not all varieties have thorns. 4. BLACKTHORN Blackthorn, Prunus spinsoa, has had a pound of my flesh on more than one occasion in the autumn. The small dark berries, called “sloes,” are a favorite of mine for making sloe gin. They are tart, but with plenty of added sugar, will transform a bottle of gin into a delicious liqueur in time for Christmas. Collecting sloes, however, is no fun. They grow on a deciduous shrub with dense branches and evil thorns. Reaching through the branches for the small berries can be a painful experience thanks to the large spikes on its dark, almost black, bark. The thorns stick out at right angles on the intertwined branches and can be up to two inches long. Growing in dense thickets, the blackthorn is commonly seen in its native England, along the edges of open fields. Suitable for growers in Zones 4-8, blackthorn shrubs can grow up to 10 feet tall, and with minimal pruning can create a formidable barrier around the perimeter of a property. Alternatively, it can be pruned into a neat but dense and impenetrable hedge. Being deciduous, it will drop its leaves in winter, and look somewhat scraggly. Its pretty white flowers herald the arrival of spring, appearing before the foliage. Fast-growing blackthorn will tolerate almost any soil, and is somewhat salt-tolerant. Once established, it needs very little care except regular moisture – so it’s not suitable for very dry areas without additional irrigation. Blackthorn will grow in part-shade or sunny locations. It’s best kept away from your house as it isn’t particularly decorative (especially in winter) and its height can compromise visibility. Be extra careful when you are working with this plant, as the thorns have a nasty habit of breaking off under the skin and turning septic. Bear this in mind if you have pets, children, or are planting near paddocks used by livestock. 5.HONEY LOCUST The honey locust, Gleditsia triacanthos, is a fast growing, deciduous tree native to the central US. It looks like something out of your worst nightmare, with large clumps of thorns protruding from its trunk and branches – some up to eight inches long. Honey locust thrives in Zones 3-8, and will grow into a shrubby, thorny clump unless pruned to encourage a single trunk. A member of the Fabaceae family, honey locust flowers in late spring, with fragrant, cream-colored blooms. It produces seed pods that mature in the fall, and bright green foliage gives way to autumnal yellow. According to an article by Robert J. Warren, from the Department of Biology at Buffalo State University, the honey locust was cultivated by the Cherokee people for its medicinal and culinary properties. This fast-growing ornamental tree can reach a lofty 90 feet tall at maturity. It thrives in average soil, and is drought, salt, and heat tolerant. You can find bare root honey locust trees The Caspian locust, Gleditsia capsica, is native to central Asia and locations bordering the Caspian sea. Suitable for growers in Zones 6-9, even the thorns on this tree have thorns! Young specimens provide a nasty barrier, and as it matures, the trunk will show no mercy to opportunist climbers. Caspian locust thrives in full sun and well-draining, but average soil. The thorns on both of these species are monstrous, and need to be handled with respect. They will easily rip through all but the toughest leather gardening gloves, and eye protection is essential. 6. JAPANESE QUINCE Native to eastern Asia, the Japanese quince, Chaenomeles speciosa, is suitable for growers in Zones 5-9. This is a thorny, deciduous flowering shrub that produces tart, edible fruit. Growing in a mounded form, it matures to five to six feet tall and wide. Its tangled, prickly stems can be pruned into a hedge, providing a spring profusion of pretty blooms in shades of pink, red, or white. Several cultivars are available, such as ‘Falconnet Charlet,’ that blooms in early spring with salmon-pink flowers. It is suitable for planting as a thorny privacy screen, or as a back of border specimen plant. ‘Double Take Orange’ is a compact cultivar that tops out at four to five feet tall, and produces clusters of double-petaled bright orange blooms in early spring. Ideal for low hedging, or planting underneath windows or as a part of mixed borders, it has ornamental appeal as well as providing a thorny welcome to anyone who comes close. A white-flowered cultivar, ‘Nivalis’ is suitable for training up a trellis against a wall, to provide a pretty, but spiky climber. Untrained, it will top out at eight feet tall, with the same characteristic tangled, thorny branches. C. japonica is a smaller species that thrives in Zones 5-9. It grows two to three feet tall and three to six feet wide in a dense, branching form. A profusion of flowers bursts forth in early spring, followed by light green foliage. Sometimes called dwarf quince, this species is suitable for low hedging, or planting in any location where you require visibility over the top of plantings. Japanese quince is fast growing, and performs best in a full sun location with well-draining soil. It’s highly adaptable and will tolerate dry or clay soil as long as there is good drainage. Once established, plants are drought and heat tolerant. In segment three Joey and Holly talk with their guest, Isa Hendry Eaton http://www.isabird.com/about and Jennifer Blaise Kramer http://jenniferblaisekramer.com/ are the authors of the book Small Garden Style. Isa is a garden designed and Jennifer is a lifestyle writer. They have both written for a number of well known publications. They both reside in california with their families. 1. What was the inspiration for your book, Small Garden Style - A Design Guide for Outdoor Rooms and Containers? 2. What is a helpful tip from your book for our listeners? 3. You talk about lawn alternatives - what is a lawn alternative and some examples? 4. You suggest using succulents and other decorative plants for some of these designs - what are some great succulent care tips? 5. How can we find out more about you? Is segment four Joey and Holly answer gardeners questions Canning Q: I have a question about canning Mrs Wages salsa. I am new to canning and it says for pint jars.. could I use half pint jars instead just process the same time? Thank u A: Yes you can do that. Unfinished compost in the garden Q:Thank you for all your hard work on the Wisconsin Vegetable Gardener radio show.Is it bad, ok, or good to use unfinished compost in garden? We have run out of space in our compost bins and our raised beds could use some additional soil. I’ve heard that it could take nitrogen out of the soil but it could also improve worm life (and therefore worm castings). Does the answer change between halfway versus mostly composted materials?Thank you for your help! A: Thank You for the email and question, in regards to half finished or almost finished compost yes it will suck some of the nitrogen out of the soil. However as you indicated it will increase soil microbial life and the worms as it will continue to break down. I certainly would go ahead and add it to your raised beds it would be OK to do such as you may lose a little nitrogen but increased the worm activity so it balances out thank you for listing try not to mix it in to your beds lay it on top Bubbles in the jars Q I canned cherries and they are all sealed, but I see little bubbles on the top of some of the jars ,does that mean they will spoil. I boiled them for 25 min. and left them cool before I took the ring off. A: As long as you followed the recipe correctly they are fine. Sometimes fruit releases air in the canning process and results in bubbles at the top of the jars. Sad Rhubarb Q: I live in Massachusetts and have rhubarb that has been good for many years, but now has thin stalks. What is causing this? A: The main cause of this would be too little food, and often also indicate too little moisture The quickest solution is to mulch in autumn with a thick layer 2-4 inches of well-rotted compost or good quality multi-purpose compost, then do that again in the spring with another layer This will provide a source of new food, as well as locking moisture in around the roots. If your stems still aren’t plump next spring, then leave them alone for another year to bulk up Also note Dig and split rhubarb roots every 3 to 4 years. Divide when plants are dormant in early spring (or fall). And the plant can live up to 20 years What is eating it I planted two Wozniak’s cherry bushes this Spring in PA. When it arrived it was basically a root and a thin vertical stock. They were growing nicely. I placed a fence around each plant. Unfortunately, something got into the cage and stopped off each stem in the middle of the stock below the leaves. I placed a 5’ wire fence two feet outside the plants all the way around . So I I know it wasn’t deer. My questions are…. will they grow back next year from the root. And, what animal may have done this? I’m thinking maybe a squirrel or chipmunk? Any thoughts? Unfortunately those plants won’t be growing back. There is not a way for the plant to photosynthesize if there are not any leaves. We think it may have been deer as deer are sneakier than you think they are. Squirrels and chipmunks go for more green than anything. We cant imagine what else it could be. A higher fence and it further away from the plant would be better. Wilting tomatoes I’m hoping you can help me. I cannot figure out why my tomato plants all look like they are wilting. I have pepper and parley plants in the same raised bed and they look fine. This is the same bed I had Sunchokes in last year. I’m thinking maybe I should dig one up and check the roots? Do you have any ideas? A: before I would dig up any the plants and look at the roots I would give them a very good watering tomatoes when stressed from heat will have some curl on leaves and they will Wilt Check out the companies that make the show possible Power Planter of www.powerplanter.com Proplugger of www.proplugger.com World's coolest rain gauge www.worldscoolestraingauge.com Rootmaker of www.rootmaker.com Us coupon code TWVG at checkout and save 10% of your order Tomato snaps of www.tomatosnaps.com Chapin Manufacturing Inc. of www.chapinmfg.com Pomona pectin of www.pomonapectin.com Iv organics of www.ivorganics.com Dr. JimZ of www.drjimz.com Seed Savers Exchange of www.seedsavers.org Waterhoop of www.waterhoop.com Green Gobbler of www.greengobbler.com Nessalla koombucha of www.nessalla.com MI Green House LLC of www.migreenhouse.com Phyllom BioProducts of www.phyllombioproducts.com Happy leaf led of www.happyleafled.com Neptunes harvest of www.neptunesharvest.com Dripworks of www.dripworks.com We Grow Indoors of www.wegrowindoors.com Harvestmore of www.harvest-more.com Deer defeat www.deerdefeat.com Blue ribbon organics www.blueribbonorganics.com Bluemel's garden & landscape center www.bluemels.com Milwaukee,WI official garden center of the show Wisconsin Greenhouse company of https://wisconsingreenhousecompany.com/ Chip Drop of https://getchipdrop.com/?ref=wisconsinvegetable Tree-Ripe Fruit Co of https://www.tree-ripe.com/ Big elk Garlic farm https://www.bigelkgarlicfarm.com/#/

Ten days studying the Floristics of the Colorado Plateau and Jurassic Sedimentary Rocks, we take a look at the genera of Fabaceae here including Pediomelum, Sophora, Peteria, etc. We also enjoy some time in Central Nevada with a milkweed named after renowned botanist Alice Eastwood (a botanical gangster if the ever was one) 

While walking across some North Dakota prairie during the early parts of the summer there always seems to be a variety of interesting plants to see. But twogrooved poisonvetch, also known as twogrooved milkvetch, or silver-leafed milkvetch produces an odor that gives itself away. It is a member of the pea family or Fabaceae and is known to botanists as Astragalus bisulcatus .

Did you know that licorice is the common name of Glycyrrhiza Glabra, a flowering plant of the bean family Fabaceae, from the root of which a sweet, aromatic flavoring can be extracted?

Dear listeners, this is a Re-Petey from a couple years ago. I have not been roaring to Tucson and back…

Trees Are Key Happy New Year! The teens are over and we’re into the roaring '20s. Let’s discuss how “2020 Will Be Key.” 2019 was a time of change and we are going to be able to capitalize on that in 2020. Species Spotlight Retama is also known as Jerusalem thorn, Paloverde, Horsebean, and LLuviia [you-vi-a] de Oro. This is one of the challenges of common names - one tree can have many common names. Retama's scientific name is Parkinsonia aculeata. Retama is in the Leguminosae (formerly known as Fabaceae) or pea family. It is a legume, which means it can ‘fix’ nitrogen out of the air and thrive in nutrient poor soils that can’t support many trees.

On today's show we are talking about Nitrogen fixing plants and inoculates. What the heck is Rhizobia? Well, pull up a chair 'cuz we are going on a deep geek.

http://RunningAFEVER.com I keep hearing from various sources on the importance of beans in our diets. Dan Buettner says they are one of the world's greatest longevity foods, and recommends eating a cup a day. What are beans? A bean is a seed of a group of plants called Fabaceae, though it also is applied to other things, for example, Jelly Beans! which are not seeds of any plant. What are the nutritional benefits? There are many. Beans are high in fiber, protein, antioxidants. They are also rich in vitamins, especially the B vitamins, such as Thiamine (B1), Roboflavin (B2), and Folate (B9). B vitamins are important in energy level, brain function (I could use all of that I can get), and preventing infections. Vitamin K, used in blood clotting, and vitamin E, which has numerous benefits including lowering cancer risk, are also common in beans.  Beans are one of the most nutrient-dense foods on earth. 1 serving is 123 calories. There are other health benefits as well. They can reduce cholesterol, decrease blood sugar levels, and increase healthy gut bacteria. These things are linked to longevity and prevention of heart disease, stroke, etc. PLUS, they are cheap and versatile, with infinite ways to prepare them. In their dried form you can store them for a long time, and they are easy to cook.So which beans are best? There are at least 70 varieties of beans. Here are a few:Peanuts have 17.3g of protein and 5.9g of fiber, and is the only bean (legume) with vitamin E. Navy beans or haricot beans have 15g of protein and 19.1g of fiber. Pinto beans have 15.4g of protein and 15.4g of fiber. Soybeans have 28.6g of protein and 10.3g of fiber. Black beans have 15.2g of protein and 15g of fiber, and a low glycemic index number. Kidney beans  have 13.4g of protein and 13.6g of fiber. Peas (yes they are beans!) have  8.2g of protein and 8.8g of fiber. Lentils have 17.9g of protein and 15.6g of fiber. And chickpeas have 14.5g of protein and 12.5g of fiber. Rumor has it that black beans are the most nutrient-dense, but I have no evidence for that. What am I going to do? I have been eating some of the Ikarian stew made from a blue zone recipe, which contains a lot of black-eyed peas. I am also going to substitute some black beans for ground meat in my chili.

“What is that pink flowering bush along the road and on the hills?” And some folks mistakenly call it fairy duster.

Well shoot, I spent so much time jabbering about my conversion to desert rat and monsoon believer that I left some stuff out and so here is what I left out and thought you may want to know...

There is a funny line in Arizona Flora saying that it is “a straggling shrub” but there is no mention of the showy flowers.

Alfalfa is a perennial of the Fabaceae (beans and peas) family, and it was introduced into North America from (probably) the Mediterranean around 1850. Uses: Primary use: eating raw sprouts from seed. Raw alfalfa sprouts are a favorite on salads, in sandwiches, and in soups, or anywhere fresh green peas, lettuce, or spinach might be used. The […]
