Tonight, we'll read about gardening in window boxes, and also planning the arrangement of outdoor flower gardens, from the 1903 book “The Flower Garden” by Ida D. Bennett. Window boxes offer a way to transform an ordinary sill into a miniature garden, filling homes with color, fragrance, and seasonal beauty. Bennett provides timeless advice on selecting the right plants, arranging them for the best effect, and ensuring they thrive in their elevated, confined environment. Her work reflects the Edwardian-era enthusiasm for ornamental gardening while offering insights that remain just as relevant for modern gardeners looking to brighten their windows with living blooms. — read by 'N' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

One day, while waiting outside her daughter's weaving class, Gabi van Tassell became fascinated with an old-fashioned quilt. The Grandmother's Flower Garden pattern combines groups of paper-pieced hexagons, and Gabi found herself wondering how she could weave the shapes. An active and curious crafter, she had explored a variety of fiber crafts, though she wasn't yet a weaver. She experimented with different approaches to the pin loom, eventually realizing that she needed a combination of plain and bias weaving in the same piece. Once she developed the method, she faced the challenge of making the looms. When she realized that she would need to build the looms herself, she decided to patent the idea while developing her manufacturing process. Although establishing her business was challenging, she knew that weavers would love the little turtle-shaped looms. Turtle Looms have the can't-weave-just-one appeal of any pin loom, but the geometry of hexagons (and Gabi's newer trapezoid and five-sided Jewel looms) offer a variety of design choices. In addition to making Turtle Looms, Gabi began designing projects to show the variety of projects to be made from hexagons. To her delight, weavers have adopted the looms and even create designs Gabi herself hadn't dreamed of.

In a small village, a large flower garden occupied approximately 80% of the total land. The garden was owned by one family, the Floras, who had successfully managed it for an impressive three hundred years. As a result, almost every floral product sold in the village came from their renowned garden. Let's have a listen together!

more:fluentfiction.org/a-blooming-apology-how-flowers-mended-friendship-in-stockholm Story Transcript:Sv: Solens varma strålar fyllde den lilla butiken vid namnet Blomsterträdgården.En: The warm rays of the sun filled the small shop called The Flower Garden.Sv: Den stod mitt i centrala Stockholm och lockade folk från hela staden med sina färgglada blomarrangemang.En: It was located in the heart of Stockholm and attracted people from all over the city with its colorful flower arrangements.Sv: Runt omkring doftade luften ljuvligt av nyplockade blommor, och det kändes som en värld av färg och liv.En: The air around smelled delightfully of freshly picked flowers, feeling like a world full of color and life.Sv: Oskar öppnade försiktigt den knarrande dörren.En: Oskar carefully opened the creaking door.Sv: Han var en ung man med ett bekymrat uttryck i ansiktet.En: He was a young man with a worried expression on his face.Sv: Inuti butiken överröstade doften av rosor och liljor all stress och oro, men fortfarande kände han tyngden av hans misstag.En: Inside the shop, the scent of roses and lilies drowned out all stress and anxiety, yet he still felt the weight of his mistake.Sv: Han hade haft en liten konflikt med sin bästa vän Elin.En: He had a minor conflict with his best friend Elin.Sv: Det hela hade varit ett missförstånd, men Oskar insåg att han måste be om ursäkt.En: It had all been a misunderstanding, but Oskar realized he needed to apologize.Sv: Blommor kändes som rätt sätt.En: Flowers seemed like the right way.Sv: Blicken gled över de färgglada blomsterfaten.En: His gaze swept over the colorful flower displays.Sv: Här fanns det röda rosor som nästan glödde, lysande gula solrosor och vita liljor som spred en söt doft i den lilla lokalen.En: There were red roses that almost glowed, bright yellow sunflowers, and white lilies that spread a sweet scent in the small space.Sv: Trots allt detta kände sig Oskar överväldigad.En: Despite all this, Oskar felt overwhelmed.Sv: Vilka blommor visar egentligen en uppriktig ursäkt?En: Which flowers truly convey a sincere apology?Sv: Vilka talar till Elins hjärta?En: Which speak to Elin's heart?Sv: "Behöver du hjälp, unga man?"En: "Do you need help, young man?"Sv: en varm röst bröt hans tankar.En: a warm voice interrupted his thoughts.Sv: Det var butikens ägare, en äldre dam med vänliga ögon.En: It was the shop owner, an elderly lady with kind eyes.Sv: "Ja," medgav Oskar och såg hjälplöst på henne.En: "Yes," Oskar admitted, looking helplessly at her.Sv: "Jag måste be om ursäkt till min vän.En: "I need to apologize to my friend.Sv: Men jag vet inte vilka blommor jag ska välja."En: But I don't know which flowers to choose."Sv: Butiksägaren log och nickade.En: The shop owner smiled and nodded.Sv: "Jag förstår.En: "I understand.Sv: Berätta om din vän.En: Tell me about your friend.Sv: Vad tycker hon om?"En: What does she like?"Sv: Oskar tänkte en stund och mindes deras utflykter i skärgården och hennes leende när hon såg blommorna som växte vilt där.En: Oskar thought for a moment and recalled their trips to the archipelago and her smile when she saw the wildflowers there.Sv: "Jag vet att hon gillar prästkragar," sa han.En: "I know she likes daisies," he said.Sv: Damen fick ett varmt leende på läpparna och började samla ihop en bukett.En: The lady smiled warmly and began to gather a bouquet.Sv: Hon blandade prästkragar med mjuka rosa tulpaner och några stiliga iris.En: She mixed daisies with soft pink tulips and some elegant irises.Sv: "Den här buketten uttrycker omtanke och uppriktighet," sa hon när hon överlämnade den till honom.En: "This bouquet expresses care and sincerity," she said as she handed it to him.Sv: Med en nyfunnen beslutsamhet tackade Oskar henne och gick mot Elins lägenhet.En: With newfound determination, Oskar thanked her and headed to Elin's apartment.Sv: Hjärtat slog hårt när han kom fram, men han stod stark med buketten i handen.En: His heart was pounding as he arrived, but he stood firm with the bouquet in hand.Sv: På dörren knackade han lätt.En: He knocked lightly on the door.Sv: Elin öppnade dörren.En: Elin opened the door.Sv: Hennes ögon var överraskade, men mjuknade när hon såg blommorna.En: Her eyes were surprised but softened when she saw the flowers.Sv: "Förlåt mig, Elin," sa Oskar och gav henne buketten.En: "Forgive me, Elin," said Oskar, handing her the bouquet.Sv: "Jag gjorde ett misstag.En: "I made a mistake.Sv: Jag vill att vi ska vara vänner, som alltid."En: I want us to be friends, like always."Sv: Elin tog emot blommorna och ett leende spred sig över hennes ansikte.En: Elin accepted the flowers, and a smile spread across her face.Sv: "Tack, Oskar.En: "Thank you, Oskar.Sv: Jag förstår.En: I understand.Sv: Och jag är glad att du kom hit."En: And I'm glad you came."Sv: De talade länge den eftermiddagen.En: They talked for a long time that afternoon.Sv: Med varje ord kändes deras vänskap starkare och mer uppriktig.En: With each word, their friendship felt stronger and more genuine.Sv: Oskar insåg att små handlingar och ord var viktiga, och att be om hjälp inte var något att skämmas för.En: Oskar realized that small actions and words were important, and that asking for help was nothing to be ashamed of.Sv: Solen sjönk långsamt bakom horisonten, och i den lilla lägenheten fylldes luften av skratten från två vänner som hade hittat tillbaka till varann.En: The sun slowly set behind the horizon, and in the small apartment, the air was filled with the laughter of two friends who had found their way back to each other.

Bruno Maciel is the third generation managing his family's flower farm, Florista Lina Farm in Barcelos, Portugal. We hear how his experience working in the flower industry around Europe has guided the changes he is making to the farm, including adding greenhouse production, doing more winter production, dropping unprofitable crops and focusing on quality over quantity. Farmers in North America can learn a lot from Bruno and his data-driven approach to flower farming, and will probably recognize more similarities than differences between flower growing on the west side of the Atlantic and the east.Bruno also explains how he has used biofumigation with mustards to control soilborne diseases that had been devastating in the past. This method has the advantage not only of controlling diseases without chemicals, but also feeds the soil with organic matter as the mustards are mowed and tilled into the soil to release the biofumigants. For all the details, you can read the article Bruno wrote for the May Growing for Market Magazine, Improving soil quality and treating root pathogens with biofumigation here.Connect With Guest:Instagram: @floristalinafarmFacebook: @Florista-LinaRead the article Bruno wrote for the May Growing for Market Magazine, Improving soil quality and treating root pathogens with biofumigation here.

In Episode 330, Q&A - Gail from Orangevale, CA wants to start a vegetable and flower garden in her backyard, which is currently covered in Bermuda grass. Debbie Flower, America's Favorite Retired College Horticulture professor, and I suggest waiting a year and using soil solarization to kill off the Bermudagrass.

For the next question, from David in Arizona, Master Gardener and vegetable expert Gail Pothour touches on David's question about the use of black plastic mulch on the soil (not usually recommended for home gardeners), and comments on David's suggestion of using hydrogen peroxide as a treatment for early blight on tomatoes (Nope.

In the 188th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are braving the cold from their homes, drinking from Disney mugs and replacing Disney jewelry, and trying to stay warm - and give a few hints on dealing with a cold snap in WDW. In the news, the Flower & Garden opening dates have been revealed, as well as the Country Bears closing dates. The Disney Treasure will feature Moana as part of their Broadway style show. And Kali River Rapids' reopening date, which leads to Jenn's mini-rant against the attraction, and which rides she'd chunk out of each park. Then, they look at both past and present theater shows to determine their favorites - any attraction which features the guest sitting in a theater chair or bench, staring at the stage or screen. From current - like loving the Tumble Monkeys or Frozen narrators - to past, like Drew Carey's previous park presence or Nemo, old and new. And finally, thoughts on updating Carousel of Progress.
