If you garden in a water conscious State like California, you may be able to recite a list of plants and practices to reduce water in your landscape. But often vegetable gardening gets left out of water-wise conversations. Our guest -- the one and only --Fred Hoffman, discusses ways to employ water saving techniques for your veggies without sacrificing taste. What is the crop that consumes the most water? What are the most water efficient watermelons? We dive into this and more. This episode is sponsored by BeWaterSmart.

Nous sommes le dimanche 1er avril 1973. A Hutchinson Island, en Floride, le long d'une autoroute qui longe l'océan. Calvin Holley et son fils Jessie Joe sont en quête de canettes en aluminium à recycler. Au fil de leurs recherches, leurs pas les mènent vers l'horreur : ce sont des vêtements éparpillés et des ossements qu'ils découvrent. Ils préviennent les autorités qui prennent le relai et mettent à jour deux torses, un bassin et une jambe. Non loin de là, il y a la partie inférieure d'un autre cadavre revêtue d'un jean . On retrouvera encore deux robes, des chaussures noires, des vertèbres, une chemise de nuit rose. A la fin de cette première journée de fouilles, il manque toujours les têtes. Mais la traque de Gerard Schaefer, serial killer, commence. Les policiers l'appelleront « Sexbeast » Avec Stéphane Bourgoin, spécialistes des tueurs en séries. « Sexbeast, sur la trace du pire tueur en série de tous les temps » éditions Grasset.

The Cowsills Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson What's better than sitting down with your old friend and childhood hero, Bob Cowsill? Being surprised when Paul and Susan Cowsill join him. Us. What fun! The Cowsills (Hair, The Rain, The Park, and Other Things, We Can Fly), currently out on The Happy Together Tour, are the real-life Partridge Family, upon whom the show was based. A fan since the 60s, they adorned my walls and turntable. I love them. Bob Cowsill holds the distinction of having the most viewed video on my YouTube channel, over 203K views and counting, daily, years after its release. Bob's Women Who Write appearance, middling for the late, great Ed Asner, with incredible opener, James Morrison, of 24, was a KILLER! It was an instant classic, timeless, not to be missed! It'll make you happy, happy, happy, as no doubt this 4th sitdown with the always ridiculously entertaining, funny man and the second with the lot of 'em will. We talked about their watching The Beatles on Ed Sullivan, and the impact they had on Bob and Bill, their first two failed record deals, some oddly named group, Simon & Garfunkel, who bested them. The third deal was the charm with The Rain, The Park & Other Things written for them. How Mom, Paul & Susan each joined the brothers. How Hair came to them, thank you, Carl Reiner...how pleasing their fans, whether on The Happy Together Tour, which they've opened for 11 years, or on The Flower Power cruise, which they do annually, is their primary purpose. They always play their hits and love doing so. We talked about their new releases, Rhythm of the World, Global, and the upcoming The Cocaine Drain, and their long-awaited a cappella album. If you're lucky enough to catch one of their bi-monthly Cowsills gigs, you might get to hear Is Your Love Alive, or other previously unreleased gems. But you can bet you'll hear their classics and some great covers. They are now and have always been crowd pleasers, and that includes sitting down with them. They're open, fun, clearly love each other, and have infectious enthusiasm for what they do and life in general. As always, whether at one of their shows or chatting, I had a ball. I trust you will, too.

This Q&A episode is packed with real, raw, and relatable questions from my FLOWER POWER event last week. Listen and learn lots! It's fun, honest, and empowering. No shame, no filter – just truth, insight, and lots of pussy wisdom. In this episode, I answer: What does it mean that the brain is the biggest erogenous zone? Why do I feel shame or lack of fulfillment after orgasming quickly? What is de-armoring and how does it help with sexual healing? Can I explore cervical stimulation if I have an IUD? Why can't I locate my cervix – where is it really? How do I know if a penis is touching the cervix? Is it normal to have structures inside my vagina that feel like tubes? Why do clitoral orgasms feel too intense or make me cramp? What's the difference between self-pleasure and masturbation? What can I do when I can't orgasm with a partner due to pressure? You can still join FLOWER POWER - it's free!! You get all the recordings and are invited to the final session on Thursday, August 14th. https://www.erika-alsborn.com/flower-power-blossom-edition Join my mastermind SHAMELESS https://www.erika-alsborn.com/shameless Related episodes: 98: Unleash and embody the Slut Archetype for the best sex and pleasure! → 90: Perfectionism is blocking you from intimacy, pleasure and partnered sex → Let's connect!

With 62% of employees disengaged globally—costing the economy $8.9 trillion—Nitin’s book offers a timely and transformative roadmap. Drawing from neuroscience, research, and over 100 interviews with global leaders, he introduces the FLOWER® framework, a six-petal strategy to restore trust, empathy, and inclusion at work.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: From Blunder to Blossom: Lillafüred's Floral Dawn Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-06-28-22-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A nap már magasan járt a Lillafüred Virágfarm felett.En: The sun was already high above the Lillafüred Virágfarm.Hu: A meleg hulláma szinte elnyelte a mezők színes virágait.En: The wave of heat almost engulfed the colorful flowers in the fields.Hu: Ágnes, a farm gondnoka, nagyot nyelt, amikor lehűtött limonádéjából ivott, és elgondolkodott az e-mailjében.En: Ágnes, the farm's caretaker, took a big gulp as she drank from her chilled lemonade, pondering her email.Hu: „Mit tettem?” kérdezte magától kissé pánikolva.En: "What have I done?" she asked herself, somewhat panicked.Hu: Aznap reggel ugyanis egy nagy furgon érkezett a farmra teli nehéz ládákkal.En: That very morning, a large van had arrived at the farm, filled with heavy crates.Hu: Gergő, a lelkes, de még újonc teherautósofőr, leszállította az óriási mennyiségű tulipán hagymát, amit Ágnes valahogy rendelési hiba folytán szerzett be.En: Gergő, the enthusiastic but still rookie truck driver, had delivered the enormous quantity of tulip bulbs that Ágnes had somehow acquired due to an ordering mistake.Hu: Bálint, Ágnes legjobb barátja, aki inkább a zöldségekkel foglalkozott, vállvonogatva állt mellette.En: Bálint, Ágnes's best friend, who was more inclined towards handling vegetables, stood beside her with a shrug.Hu: "Most mit csinálunk ezzel a rengeteg hagymával?" kérdezte, korán sem látva a gyönyört, amit Ágnes a növényekben talált.En: "Now what do we do with all these bulbs?" he asked, not quite seeing the delight Ágnes found in the plants.Hu: Ágnes, aki sosem adta fel könnyen, erőt gyűjtött, és így szólt: „Kitalálunk valamit.”En: Ágnes, who never gave up easily, gathered her strength and said, "We'll figure something out."Hu: Közösen összeültek egy nyári hűvös helyen, a nagy diófa alatt a farm sarkában, hogy tervet kovácsoljanak.En: Together they sat down in a cool summer spot under the big walnut tree at the corner of the farm to forge a plan.Hu: Ágnes fejében már körvonalazódott egy ötlet.En: An idea was already taking shape in Ágnes's mind.Hu: „Ültessük el őket szerte a faluban! Tegyük Lillafüredet híressé az ország legnagyobb virágkiállításával!” javasolta lelkesen.En: "Let's plant them throughout the village! Let's make Lillafüred famous for the largest flower exhibition in the country!" she suggested enthusiastically.Hu: Bálint vállalkozott a fizikai munkára, bár hozzáfűzte: „Remélem, ez elnyeri valakinek a tetszését, különben a fejemet fogják venni.”En: Bálint volunteered for the physical work, though he added, "I hope this pleases someone, or else they'll have my head."Hu: Gergő, bár tapasztalatlan, szívesen segített.En: Gergő, although inexperienced, was eager to help.Hu: Elővették a térképet és együtt kitalálták, hova ültethetik el az áldásnak álcázott szerencsétlenséget.En: They took out the map and figured out together where they could plant this blessing disguised as a mishap.Hu: Az út mentén, a parkokban, sőt a templomkertben is ültettek.En: They planted along the roadside, in parks, and even in the church garden.Hu: A forró napok alatt közös munkával minden hagymát sikerült elültetniük.En: During the hot days, through their joint efforts, they managed to plant all the bulbs.Hu: A közösség érdeklődve szemlélte a tevékenységet.En: The community watched their activities with interest.Hu: A népszerűsítés elérte a célját; mindenki izgalommal várta, mi sül ki ebből.En: The publicity hit its mark; everyone was excited to see the outcome.Hu: A hőség csúcsán a farmon álló közösségi piknik ideje elérkezett.En: At the peak of the heat, the time for the community picnic on the farm arrived.Hu: Csak ekkor csúszott a tervbe egy baki: Gergő, próbálva elrejteni a maradék hagyma szállítmányt, véletlenül a teherautóval a tóba gurult.En: Only then did the plan hit a snag: Gergő, trying to hide the remaining load of bulbs, accidentally drove the truck into the lake.Hu: Az esemény váratlan nevetésbe fordult, még Ágnes is csak legyintett, hiszen ami számít, az a közösen elvégzett munka gyümölcse.En: The unexpected event turned into laughter, and even Ágnes just waved it off, knowing that what mattered was the fruit of the work they did together.Hu: Csodával határos módon néhány nappal később a hagymák kivirágoztak, a tulipánok gyors növekedését a tavaszi eső és a tápláló föld elősegítette.En: Miraculously, a few days later, the bulbs bloomed, the rapid growth of tulips aided by the spring rain and nourishing soil.Hu: A farm és a környék hirtelen virágba borult, látványosan tündökölve a napsütötte domboldalon.En: The farm and its surroundings suddenly blossomed, spectacularly shining on the sunlit hillside.Hu: Mindenki elámult a látványtól, és Ágnes rájött, hogy néha a véletlen húzások is ejteni tudnak csodás eredményeket.En: Everyone marveled at the sight, and Ágnes realized that sometimes accidental choices can yield wonderful results.Hu: Bálint bólintott, és mosolyogva mondta: „Talán van valami bája ezeknek a virágoknak.”En: Bálint nodded and said with a smile, "Perhaps there is some charm in these flowers."Hu: Lillafüred Virágfarm híres lett mindenütt, a látogatók száma megsokszorozódott, és Ágnes büszkén tekintett végig a virágos mezőn, ahol még a jövő is oly csodaszépnek tűnt.En: Lillafüred Virágfarm became famous everywhere, the number of visitors multiplied, and Ágnes looked proudly across the flowering field, where even the future seemed so beautiful.

Linda Levitt, Master Gardener Volunteer, rejoins Nature Calls: Conversations from the Hudson Valley with Flower Power Retrospective (Part 3) . In this episode you'll hear two previously aired short segments about flowers that have been compiled together for easier listening. In the first segment, Linda discusses how to grow popular fall flowers that include Mums, Asters and Montauk Daisies. Including these beautiful plants in your flower gardens will bring lots of fall color to your landscape. Chrysanthemums are a large genus in the Asteraceae (daisy) family. The plants can grow 2-4 feet tall with blooms that are white, yellow, or pink in the wild species, but also come in multiple cultivars with many colors and shapes of flowers. Mums are divided into garden hardy and exhibition types. Garden hardy mums can be planted in gardens while exhibition mums are more florist types and need special growing care. Garden mums are often sold in the fall but can be planted in the garden for the following year. They need organic soils in full sun but can tolerate some shade in the south. Be sure to cut the plants back in summer to encourage bushiness and a later bloom time. Use in the border, in pots, or on the patio or porch for fall color. Asters are also members of the Asteraceae family. They have daisy-like flowers and come in a variety of colors. They are easy to grow and require minimal maintenance. They typically bloom in late summer and fall, adding color as the seasons change. They have mounding as well as erect varieties and may be propagated by seeds, division, root cuttings, or stem cuttings. Deer, rabbits, and other mammals may nibble at the flower buds but they don't tend to eat the entire plant because of its pungent smell, bitter taste. The plant tolerates the nibbling, which serves as beneficial pruning. Asters are an important food and nesting source for wildlife. The Montauk Daisy (also known as the Nippon daisy) is native to Japan but cultivated as an ornamental elsewhere. This perennial tolerates light shade in hot climates. New growth may be cut back slightly in spring to maintain plant compactness and encourage bushy form. Removing spent flower heads may promote additional blooms. Divide clumps every 2-3 years to maintain vigor. It produces wonderful, long-lasting fresh-cut flowers. They are also good for drought-tolerant gardens. The second segment features Holiday plants including how to care for them. Amaryllis, Holiday Cactus and Poinsettias are all discussed. Amaryllis bulbs, native to Africa, come in various sizes. Amaryllis may be purchased as bare or planted bulbs, and are prized for their exotic trumpet-shaped flowers (typically red, white, pink, salmon, apricot, rose, or burgundy) on leafless stalks that can be 1-2 feet long. They add dramatic color to homes and gardens and make wonderful gifts to gardeners from beginners to experts. Amaryllis flowers, which can be single or double) range from 4 to 10 inches in size. The holiday cactus is a genus of succulent plants in the cactus family (Cactaceae) that are native to Southeast Brazil. This genus includes the Christmas and Thanksgiving cactus. It has fleshy stems, showy flowers and grows well as a houseplant, preferring moisture but adapting to a variety of home environments. It thrives in bright, indirect sunlight, but doesn't like direct sun. Periods of lower light in the fall will encourage winter blooms. They may be propagated by stem or root cuttings.The poinsettia is native to Mexico and Guatemala. In the United States, it is typically grown as a potted plant and is popular as a decorative flower (available in shades of red, pink, and white) during the holidays. The plant grows best in part shade at temperatures of 65 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Water the plant when the soil surface feels dry, but do not overwater. The cup-shaped yellow "flowers" bloom in the winter through the spring and cluster above showy red leafy bracts or modified leaves. We hope you've enjoyed this retrospective series.

Welcome to Part 2 of the Flower Power Retrospective where the conversation on previously aired short segments is focused on how to select, plant and care for all kinds of flowers. Linda Levitt, Master Gardener Volunteer, shares her knowledge and expertise focused on irises, peonies, marigolds, zinnias, and cosmos. The first segment concentrates on the iris family. These elegant flowers bring late spring or early summer color to your garden with some varieties that actually bloom again in the fall. These rugged, reliable flowers are easy to grow. The 250 to 300 species of irises grow well here in the Hudson Valley. While they tend to be deer resistant, they are great for pollinators and hummingbirds. Learn about the two major groups, those that grow from spreading rhizomes and those grown from bulbs. Irises in the rhizomatous family, which included the popular bearded iris, have multiple flowers on a stem. They are highly adaptable to a wide range of conditions, and a good selection for low maintenance mixed borders. The bulbous irises shed their leaves unlike the rhizome irises that maintain their sword like leaves if unattended. These irises you might find in a spring floral bouquet. This grouping does well in rock gardens and forcing them in pots. Most irises grow in full sun exposure for at least a half a day. Many grow in the shade but most likely will not bloom. They should be planted in late summer to early fall, early enough for the rhizomes to get established and survive over the winter. However, note that if you plant the rhizome and roots too deeply, they will not bloom. Irises do need good drainage. They look great when planted along with roses, peonies, salvias and alliums. Plant Iris is where you can watch the butterflies and hummingbirds. The second segment features a favorite flower in Hudson Valley gardens, the peony. They are elegant, long-living perennials known for their large, fragrant flowers. Blooming in late spring, they are excellent for cut arrangements. Their flowers come in shades of pink, purple, red, white, and yellow. These plants thrive in sunny spots with well-drained soil and can be stunning, low-maintenance additions to any garden. Learn about the three main types: Tree Peonies: Woody shrubs, 4–7 feet tall, hardy in zones 4–9, blooming April–May, with very large flowers. Herbaceous Peonies: Die back yearly, hardy in zones 2–8, bloom May–June, long-living (up to 50 years), low maintenance, deer resistant. Intersectional (Itoh) Peonies: Hybrid of tree and herbaceous types, hardy in zones 4–9, bloom in June, with big, colorful flowers and strong stems that don't require staking. The final segment focuses on three easy to grow annual flowers that bloom all summer. They are marigolds, zinnias, and cosmos. Marigolds are a favorite, no fuss annual, that germinate quickly from seed and will bloom in about eight weeks. They tend not to be a favorite of deer or rabbits, although there's never a guarantee. Marigolds are beneficial in repelling several types of insects, and as such are a great companion in vegetable gardens. They are an excellent choice for live bouquets, growing in containers or planting as a border along sidewalks and driveways due to their high heat tolerance. Zinnias are one of the easiest annuals to grow, offering an explosion of color and shades of orange, pink, purple, red, white, and yellow. They grow quickly and reliably and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Long strong stems make them excellent for cut flower arrangements.Cosmos are freely flowering plants that are easy to grow from seed, maturing in about two months. They may be considered slow to germinate but it will bloom quickly. The flowers sit atop a long slender stem that comes in a variety of colors and look very much like daisies. All three of these annual plants require full sun exposure and will bloom from late spring until frost, although zinnias tend to be less prolific in the heat of the summer. All three plants attract various pollinators. The marigold plants will attract butterflies, bees, ladybugs and other beneficial insects. Zinnias will attract butterflies and hummingbirds. Cosmos will attract bees, butterflies and birds. These are all easy to grow colorful additions that can be added to your garden each year. We hope you enjoy this episode and remember, take the time to smell the flowers!

In this episode, we talk about Floriography, and the power that flowers contain.

Colombia has emerged as the world's second-biggest exporter of cut flowers, and the largest supplier to the United States. Local growers suffered a scare this year when US president Donald Trump threatened to impose tariffs of 50% on imports from Colombia. The dispute was quickly resolved but, even so, the threat of tariffs remains. And the sector faces other challenges, particularly around sustainability. We visit a flower farm in Colombia and go to Bogota airport to see how the country exports this most delicate and perishable of goods. We also talk to an academic who says the industry is changing rapidly, with an emphasis on growing flowers locally rather than flying them around the world.
