In this fall-themed episode, hosts Alexis, Brett, Jessica, and Ray (the “Plant People”) celebrate the season with a mix of food talk, laughter, and horticultural insights. They kick things off sharing their favorite pumpkin-inspired treats— from homemade pumpkin bread to smoked butternut mac and cheese and even pumpkin tortilla chips.The conversation transitions into the episode's main topic: fall leaf color in Kentucky and beyond. The group discusses the science behind color change — how cool nights, warm days, and moderate moisture bring out the best reds, oranges, and yellows. Ray explains how a good growing season followed by a slightly dry fall concentrates sugars in leaves, leading to vibrant anthocyanin-driven reds. They also talk about the impact of Kentucky's record-dry August, wondering how it might affect 2025's color display.Listeners learn about useful resources like the ExploreFall.com foliage map and Kentucky Tourism's fall color tracker, which show when and where to find peak color. The hosts share personal sightings — from maples just beginning to turn to the rich reds of burning bush and sassafras — and discuss how elevation, frost timing, and species type influence local color patterns.The team also dives into some fascinating plant physiology, explaining how the green pigment chlorophyll fades to reveal yellows and oranges already present in leaves, while reds form later from sugar accumulation. Their side conversation about variegation and plant adaptation connects the science of leaf color to everyday gardening.The episode wraps up with everyone's appreciation for leaf-peeping season, favorite scenic drives, and plans to visit Kentucky's Red River Gorge and other colorful fall spots.Explore FallKentucky Tourism Fall Color TrackerThe 2025 Fall Foliage Prediction MapQuestions/Comments/Feedback/Suggestions for Topics: hortculturepodcast@gmail.comCheck us out on Instagram!

This year's crop hasn't even been harvested but Wisconsin farmers are already looking ahead to 2026. One big bill they're trying to find a way to pay is for fertilizer their crop will need. Shane Goplin is a farmer with HV Acres and a Wisconsin Corn Grower member. He's watching developments in Washington that could help farms better understand what's happening with fertilizer supplies, and in turn plan for that bill. Goplin says a bill was introduced in congress that aims to create more transparency and lower costs for fertilizers. He explains the strategy to Ben Jarboe. Goplin says farms are accustomed to fertilizer prices going up when commodity prices go up - but that's definitely not the case today.Warm and dry! A perfect weather combination for Wisconsin this weekend. Stu Muck says that above normal temperatures should persist into next week.Keeping a farm, or any business, in the family for more than 100 years takes creativity and dedication. That's the combination that's been working for Armstrong Farms in Polk County for over 150 years. Stephanie Hoff finds out about the origins of this traditional dairy that transitioned to another crop to keep things growing. Elderberries! Jill Armstrong of Armstrong Farms in Cushing says that move should help secure the farm’s future for the next generation.Wisconsin's detected its first case of high path avian influenza in a commercial poultry flock in Jefferson County. As thousands of dairy animals march into Madison for World Dairy Expo next week, each one is bringing health papers that verify they aren't bringing anything contagious along with them. Chelsea Holschbach is a veterinarian at the UW-School of Veterinary Medicine. She was one of the staff on hand at the Alliant Energy Center verifying paperwork on dairy entrants getting ready for the big show.If you're planning on taking a drive to start enjoying the fall colors of Wisconsin, you might not be disappointed. Kiley Allan speaks with Brad Hutnik, DNR Forest Ecologist and Silviculturist, who predicts that because of the cooler weather and ample moisture - beautiful fall colors will be coming quickly over the next week or two!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Don and John talk about the chemical changes that make fall color happen and talk about their favorite fall color plants, shrubs and trees. Don fields a listener question about late fall pruning and we all seem to agree that slugs are, indeed, super gross.

This week I am diverting again from regularly scheduled programming. Instead of sharing another inspiring conversation with one of my special guests (in two weeks it's another a super great one!), a thought came to me as it often does, when I least expect it and in the most unexpected places, which would be TMI! Anyhow, it is one that has to be done now at this time, and I'm in charge so I'm going to do it! And that's all I'm going to say about it, because it's short and to the point, and if I were to write more here, you could have already listened to the episode!   See you there?!

    I have a whiteboard on the wall outside my office at work where we compile random lists of things - "Best Pizza Topping", "Favorite Kitchen Utensil", "Best First Track of an Album", etc. Recently the category was "Songs for Fall/Autumn." I posted about the list on Mixcloud here - https://www.mixcloud.com/lowlight/posts/songs-about-fall-autumn-fall-colors/   So I grabbed a few tracks from the suggestions, some of my own favorites & some instrumentals to come up with this new Fall Colors mix.

Bob welcomes Wild Westendorf back to the podcast. They discuss what they have been doing since the last time Kevin on the show. Bob talks about the end of his term on the TOPS Working Committee, his experiences there and his plans moving forward. Also, Bob talks about his conversation with a person who thinks Colorado Springs voters aren't "smart enough" to vote on changes to the TOPS program, which Bob found to be an offensive opinion. (Note: This person was not a government employee of any type or an elected official) They talk about the coming fall colors season in Colorado and how two experts have opposite opinions on how colorful fall will be.     Recent newsletter with fall foliage prediction info:  https://tinyurl.com/27c9kedz   Please consider becoming a patron of this podcast!
