Chickens in broth and chickens in gardens are under the penetrating Garden Mixer gaze this week as Leslie Harris & Marianne Willburn move past their respective Christmas viruses and valiantly into the new year.     Suffering her way through a strong cup of homemade broth while Leslie goes back to the red wine, Marianne makes a case for why chickens have made sense for her soil, plants, and kitchen for the last 22 years. But why is she so militant about keeping them cooped? Mahonia, Galanthus, and Garden Tours feature in this episode; as well as Marianne's channeling of Debbie Downer for her latest anti-tech rant on GardenRant. Proving once again that if you're going to any event, you'll have way more fun with Leslie. _________________________ Full show notes, links and chicken soup recipes at ⁠The Garden Mixer Podcast⁠ Comments?

Jetzt ist es Zeit, Blumenzwiebeln zu setzen. Zum Beispiel im Obstgarten. Dabei werden Blütenteppiche angelegt. Die Blumenzwiebeln werden in kleinen Tuffs zu drei bis fünf Zwiebelchen rund um die Obstbäume gepflanzt. Junge und kleinbleibende Obstbäume gedeihen am besten, wenn ihre Baumscheiben frei von Gras- oder Rasenbewuchs gehalten werden. Mit Blumenzwiebeln wird für einen Blütenteppich unter den Baumkronen gesorgt. Geeignete Blumenzwiebeln  Heimisch sind: Blausterne (Scilla bifolia), Weisses und Gelbes Buschwindröschen, Hohler Lerchensporn (Corydalis cava), Märzenbecher (leucojum vernum) und Schneeglöckchen (Galanthus nivalis). Zuchtsorten sind Blausterne (Scilla sibirica), Schneestolz (Chionodoxa-Arten), Balkan-Windröschen, Schneeglöckchen.

Schneeglöckchen haben ihren großen Auftritt bereits bei niedrigen Temperaturen. Für Hummeln und Wildbienen gehören sie zu der ersten Nahrungsquelle. Gerade für Hummelköniginnen, die aus ihrer Winterruhe erwachen und umherfliegen, um einen geeigneten Nistplatz zu finden, sind Schneeglöckchen extrem wichtig. Wer sich mit Schneeglöckchen beschäftigt, wird schnell feststellen, dass es unglaublich viele verschiedene Sorten gibt. Unter dem botanischen Namen "Galanthus", der aus dem Griechischen übersetzt Milchblüte bedeutet, finden wir zwar nur etwa 20 Arten, aber mehrere Hundert Sorten. Da sollte also für jeden und für jede die passende Sorte dabei sein. Das Kleine Schneeglöckchen (Galanthus nivalis) ist ein besonders hübsches Exemplar. Es wird bis zu 15 Zentimeter hoch und blüht im Februar und März. Gepflanzt werden die Zwiebeln im Herbst. Beim Standort sollte daran gedacht werden, dass Schneeglöckchen wärmeliebende Pflanzen sind - ein möglichst sonniger Standort wäre also ideal. Ebenfalls sehr schön ist die Sorte Galanthus plicatus "Augustus". Dieses Schneeglöckchen wird bis zu 20 Zentimeter hoch, hat breite Blätter und weiße Blütenblätter, die wie gehämmert aussehen.

I trädgården med Karin och Elsa

Avsnitt 45 tillägnas en favorit som just nu uppenbarar sig i våra trädgårdar, nämligen snödroppen. I avsnittet försöker vi, två aspirerande galantofiler, att greppa släktet Galanthus i såväl natur som kultur. Frågor som varför man inte ska plocka den första snödroppen och varför plantering av snödroppar under sovrumsfönstret kan vara en bra idé besvaras. Lite särskilt pratar vi om arterna Galanthus bursanus, G. woronowii, G. samothracicus och G. ikariae. Men det blir inget avsnitt om Galanthus utan att också nämna ett par sorter som vi gärna hade haft i våra trädgårdar. Karin är lite extra sugen på G. nivalis 'Poculiformis' och Elsa skulle gärna lägga vantarna på Galanthus 'Veronica Cross'.

We are now firmly in winter, and you might be thinking that Head Gardeners Saul Walker and Lucy Chamberlain are taking things easy on their respective estates. But as these latest episodes will show, the two are fervently working away as busily as ever. With jobs such as planting, pruning, clearing and renovating on the cards, Lucy and Saul are at no risk of getting cold during this chillier season. The gardening friends are also busy thinking of the year ahead, so expect plenty of discussions about the weather, biscuits, buying new equipment, mowing, spreadsheets vs. lists, (more biscuits), and what plans they have for their own private gardens.One of Saul's many tasks this winter was to organise a snowdrop festival - so after its success Lucy wanted to pick his brains about this diminutive bulb's allure, it's cultivation and Saul's must-grow varieties. In return, Lucy reveals to Saul that her flame gun is on order (exciting!) and she also discusses her plans to use plant-based biofumigants in the walled kitchen garden at East Donyland Hall. Listener, Ian, also has his question about box moth answered.

First part - Herbarium Guests> Sandro Kolbaia Snowdrops (Lat. Galanthus) have always been one of the most fascinating bulbous plants for both numerous horticulture lovers and botanists. As the English vernacular name implies, snowdrops are one of the first to start blossoming in the spring, even when everything is still covered with snow. This small genus of about 20 species is widely represented in the mountains of Georgia with six species, some of which is quite common in the Caucasus, such as Galanthus krasnovii or Galanthus platyphyllus. In this talk, Sandro Kolbaia is recalling some of his own experiences of working in the field of snowdrop conservation and research.

Today we celebrate the Father of Paleobotany and the botanical illustrator honored by King Charles X. We'll learn about the botanical painter who got sick of painting flowers (he'd painted 800 of them) and the botanical illustrator who worked for Curtis's Botanical Magazine and Kew Gardens. Today’s Unearthed Words feature the hidden (and often unappreciated) transformations happening in our garden during January. We Grow That Garden Library™ with a book that helps us understand plant physiology through an intimate and entertaining memoir. I'll talk about a garden item that can help you propagate your house plants, and then we’ll wrap things up with the birth flowers of January. But first, let's catch up on a few recent events.   Subscribe Apple | Google | Spotify | Stitcher | iHeart   Curated Articles Horniman Museum's gardener Wes Shaw - Gardens Illustrated Horniman Gardens, Forest Hill, London - Spotlight: Wes Shaw "The last place that blew me away was GARDENS BY THE BAY in Singapore. Amazing conservatories, landscaping & planting - taking horticulture to a new level. While I was there, I saw gardeners abseiling down the side of green walls and volunteers using tweezers to pick over the beds. Gardens should continuously change and evolve. I never see the point of keeping something looking the same as it did at some point in the past. What’s the next big project task you’ll be tackling in the garden? We are planning a Winter Garden for an area of the Horniman Gardens that needs a bit of a refresh.”   High Society: The Expert’s Guide To Alpines Here's a great post from @AlysFowler featuring Richard Wilford - an alpine lover and head of design and collection support at the Royal Botanic Gardens @KewGardens. "What Richard doesn’t know about alpines isn’t worth knowing. 'We’ve got a very tall house to grow some very small plants' he jokes. Alpines are surprisingly easy and hardy and perfect for tricky corners and small plots. As their name suggests, alpines are from areas of high elevation, so they love full sun, cool roots, and cold nights." Check out Richard Wilford’s Five Easy Alpines: Sempervivum: will grow on sunny rocks, cracks in walls, and stony places. Put a little compost into the niches first, then nudge them in. Alpine pinks Dianthus alpinus: a tiny mat-forming evergreen with bright pink flowers. It likes free-draining conditions and suits pots, gravel path edges, and window boxes. Erinus alpinus, or alpine balsam: forms neat rosettes of narrow leaves and loves crevices. Campanula cochlearifolia (fairy thimbles or ear leaf flowers): Nodding blue flowers - Keep its feet well-drained. Phlox douglasii: A low-growing perennial - it grows in dry woodlands. It needs a dry winter, but good drainage and a sheltered spot by a wall will work.   Now, if you'd like to check out these curated articles for yourself, you're in luck, because I share all of it with the Listener Community in the Free Facebook Group - The Daily Gardener Community. There’s no need to take notes or search for links - the next time you're on Facebook, search for Daily Gardener Community and request to join. I'd love to meet you in the group.   Important Events 1801 Today is the birthday of the French botanist and the Father of Paleobotany Adolphe-Théodore Brongniart ("Bron-yahr"). Adolphe-Théodore was born in Paris. His father, Alexander, was a geologist. There’s no doubt his father’s work helped Adolphe-Théodore become a pioneer in the field of paleobotany. A paleobotanist is someone who works with fossil plants. Plants have been living on the planet for over 400 million years. So, there are plenty of fossil plants to study and catalog. As one of the most prominent botanists of the 19th century, Adolphe-Théodore worked to classify fossil plant forms, and he did so even before Charles Darwin. Adolphe-Théodore’s work provided content for his book on the history of plant fossils in 1828. Adolphe-Théodore published his masterpiece when he was just 27 years old. Adolphe-Théodore’s writing brought him notoriety and gave him the moniker "Father of Paleobotany." He was also called the "Linnaeus of Fossil Plants." Adolphe-Théodore was not so much a fossil plant discover as he was a fossil plant organizer. He put fossil plants in order and applied principles for distinguishing them. In 1841, at the age of 40, Adolphe-Théodore received the Wollaston Medal for his work with fossil plants. It is the highest award granted by the Geological Society of London. It must have made his father, Alexander, very proud. Adolphe-Théodore was a professor at the Paris Museum of Natural History. He was the backfill for Andre Michaux, who had left to explore the flora of North America. Adolphe-Théodore's wife died young. They had two boys together, and when Adolphe-Théodore died, he died in the arms of his eldest son.   1825 King Charles X honored the Belgian botanical illustrator Pierre-Joseph Redouté with the Legion of Honor. To this day, Redouté is one of the most renowned flower painters of all time. Redouté was born into a Flemish family of painters. Growing up, his family supported themselves by creating paintings for the home and for the church. Redouté was an official court draftsman to Queen Marie Antoinette. One evening around midnight, she summoned him to appear before her, and she asked him to paint her a cactus. She was exerting her control; she wanted to see if Redouté was as talented as was reported. (He was.) Redouté also became a favorite of Josephine Bonaparte. Redouté’s paintings of her flowers at Malmaison are among his most beautiful works. Today, Redouté is best known for his paintings of lilies and roses. Roses were his specialty.  And, Redouté's work earned him a nickname; he was known as "the Raffaele of flowers.". Now, if you'd like to really treat yourself or get a special gift or a gardener in your life, you should check out the book by Werner Dressendorfer called Redouté: Selection of the Most Beautiful Flowers. This is a large coffee table book. It is probably one of the most beautiful books I've ever seen; again, it's called Redoute: A Selection of the Most Beautiful Flowers. This book came out in September of 2018, and I finally just got myself a copy of it after mulling it over for over a year. the book features 144 paintings by Redouté that were published between 1827 and 1833. it's is truly one of my favorite books in my Botanical Library. When this book first came out, it retailed for $150. You can get new copies of Redouté: Selection of the Most Beautiful Flowers by Werner Dressendorfer and support the show - using the link in Today Show notes for $83. I managed to get an excellent used copy for $65. But, as I said, this is an investment piece, and it's also extraordinarily beautiful. I guarantee if you have this book sitting out, your visitors will be sure to comment, and they probably won't be able to resist looking through the beautiful paintings. Glorious.   1836 Today is the birthday of the botanical painter Henri Fantin-Latour (Fahn-tahn Lah-tur”). It's kind of humorous to me that we end up discussing Henri Fantin-LaTour today - right after Pierre Joseph Redoute - because Henri painted flowers as well. But, unlike Pierre Joseph Redoute, Henri got so sick of painting flowers that he could find no joy in doing it for the end of his career. All together, Henry painted well over 800 pictures of flowers over 32 years between 1864 and 1896. By the end of his career, the entire genre of still life flower painting was life-draining to him. He despised it. Yet, it's how he made a living, and many of his paintings bought to be displayed in homes. The painter James Whistler talked up Henri’s work so much that his flower paintings were quite famous in England. In fact, during his lifetime, he was better known in England as a painter than he was in his native France. Henri also painted portraits, as well as group portraits of Parisian artists, and he even painted imaginative compositions. He enjoyed painting portraits and his other creative work more than painting flowers. But, it was always the flower paintings that sold, and so he kept painting them to support himself.   1892 Today is the anniversary of the death of the exceptionally talented Scottish botanical illustrator Walter Hood Fitch. He was 75 years old. Fitch was one of the most prolific botanical artists of all time. His illustrations were stunning, and he used vivid colors for his work. In 1834, Walter began working for William Hooker. Hooker was the editor of Curtis's Botanical Magazine. Walter's very first published plate was of a Mimulus Rose. He didn’t know it then, but it was one down, and he had over 2,700 more to go. Hooker loved Walters’s work because his paintings reflected the way the plants appeared in real life; they weren't fanciful or embellished, yet they were beautiful. In short order, Walter became the sole artist for the magazine. When Hooker became the director of Kew, the promotion meant moving to London. He talked Walter into moving, too. Pretty soon, Walter was not only making illustrations for the magazine but for everything published at Kew. At the end of his career, around the age of 60, Walter got into a disagreement with William Hooker’s son, Joseph Dalton Hooker, over his pay. Walter left his post at Kew and became a freelancer. During his lifetime, Walter created over 12,000 illustrations that found their way to publication in various works.   Unearthed Words There is a famous saying, slow as molasses in January. We often think nothing is happening in our gardens during the winter, As Alfred Austin said in his poem, Primroses (Primula vulgaris): Pale January lay In its cradle day by day Dead or living, hard to say. But this belief that January is a dead time in the garden… well, nothing could be further from the truth. Today's Unearthed Words are all about the productivity that takes place in our gardens in January.   January is the quietest month in the garden. ... But just because it looks quiet doesn't mean that nothing is happening. The soil, open to the sky, absorbs the pure rainfall while microorganisms convert tilled-under fodder into usable nutrients for the next crop of plants. The feasting earthworms tunnel along, aerating the soil and preparing it to welcome the seeds and bare roots to come.   — Rosalie Muller Wright, Editor, Sunset Magazine   Nature looks dead in winter because her life is gathered into her heart.  She withers the plant down to the root that she may grow it up again, fairer and stronger.  She calls her family together within her inmost home to prepare them for being scattered abroad upon the face of the earth. — Hugh Macmillan, Scottish Minister & Naturalist, 1871   Over the land freckled with snow half-thawed The speculating rooks at their nests cawed And saw from elm tops, delicate as flower of grass, What we below could not see, Winter pass. —  Edward Thomas, British Poet     "You think I am dead," The apple tree said, “Because I never have a leaf to show- Because I stoop, And my branches droop, And the dull gray mosses over me grow! But I'm still alive in trunk and shoot; The buds of next May I fold away- But I pity the withered grass at my root." "You think I am dead," The quick grass said, "Because I have parted with stem and blade! But under the ground, I am safe and sound With the snow's thick blanket over me laid. I'm all alive, and ready to shoot, Come dancing here- But I pity the flower without branch or root." "You think I am dead," A soft voice said, "Because not a branch or root I own. I have never died, but close I hide In a plumy seed that the wind has sown. Patient, I wait through the long winter hours; You will see me again- I shall laugh at you then, Out of the eyes of a hundred flowers." — Edith Matilda Thomas, American Poet   Grow That Garden Library A Garden of Marvels by Ruth Kassinger The subtitle to this book is: How We Discovered that Flowers Have Sex, Leaves Eat Air, and Other Secrets of Plants This book came out in April of 2015. Ruth Kassinger didn’t always have a green thumb. in this book, she'll tell you that until she completely understood how plants actually worked, she couldn't know precisely what they needed. Her story starts this way, “This book was born of a murder, a murder I committed.” The victim - it turns out-was a beloved kumquat tree. Ruth had decided to prune it. Her efforts made the tree turn brittle and brown. It made her wonder: Why did the kumquat die when a rose bush and a crepe myrtle that was pruned the very same way were both thriving? The dilemma is what made Ruth begin a quest to understand more about plant physiology. This book is part memoir and part science-class. Ruth writes with a friendly voice. This book is a beautiful way to learn basic botany - the marvel of flowers, roots, stems, and leaves. While we're learning botany from Ruth, we also get to know her personal stories. Ruth shares how she learned to become a better gardener. Initially, Ruth made the same mistakes we all make: over-watering, under fertilizing, making untrue assumptions about what plants need. You can get a used copy of A Garden of Marvels by Ruth Kassinger and support the show, using the Amazon Link in today's Show Notes for under $5.   Great Gifts for Gardeners 3-Bulb Vase (Plant Terrarium) with Wooden Stand Retro Wooden Frame -3 Glass Plant Vases - for Desktop Rustic wood and vintage design, these decorative glass vases are perfect for propagating plants like hoya, pathos, Swedish Ivy, etc. It is a gorgeous plant prop for your home.

Let’s take a moment to celebrate both. Carnations Carnations are some of the world's oldest flowers. They have been cultivated for over 2000 years. The Greeks and Romans used them and garlands Carnations are part of the Dianthus family. Their Latin name is Dianthus caryophyllus. The etymology of the word Dianthus is from two Greek words. Dios means Divine, and Anthos means Flower. And, the translation of dianthus means "Flower of the Gods." Carnations have different meanings based on their color. White carnations symbolize good luck and pure love. Pink carnations represent admiration, and a dark red carnation represents affection and love. Snowdrops January’s other birth flower is the Snowdrop (Galanthus). Snowdrops were named by Carl Linnaeus, who gave them the Latin name Galanthus nivalis, which means "milk flower of the snow." Snowdrop is a common name. They were also known as Candlemas Veils because they typically bloom around Candlemas or February 2nd. Snowdrops are an indicator flower signaling the transition from winter into spring. Thus, the meaning of a Snowdrop blossom is Hope. The word Galanthophile is the name given to people who love snowdrops. And here's a Fun Fact: a substance extracted from snowdrops is used to treat Alzheimer's Disease.

You want to understand what Roundup (Glyphosate) does to your body so tune in and let Jeffrey explain in layman’s terms.   * * * About Jeffrey Smith Jeffrey is the founding executive director of the Institute for Responsible Technology and the leading consumer advocate promoting healthier non-GMO choices. He was named the 2017 Person of the Year by Masters of Health Magazine for more than two decades or work in 45 countries exposing how biotech companies mislead policymakers and the public and put the health of society at risk. In 2018, he and Amy Hart released Secret Ingredients, a documentary that highlights numerous individuals and families that healed from serious conditions after switching to an organic diet. His feature-length documentary, Genetic Roulette: The Gamble of Our Lives was awarded the 2012 Movie of the Year, and inspired millions worldwide to choose healthier non-GMO foods. His books include Seeds of Deception, it is the world's bestseller on GMOs, and Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods. He has counseled government leaders and healthcare practitioners from every continent and has been quoted by thousands of news outlets, including The New York Times, the Washington Post, and Time Magazine. He appears on influential radio and television programs, including the BBC, NPR, Fox News, Democracy Now, The Doctors, and the Dr. Oz Show.    Secret Ingredients - SecretIngredientsMovie.com “The most effective and efficient tool at convincing people that they absolutely have to eat organic immediately”, Jeffrey Smith In the film, all these people get better from different diseases and disorders just after switching to organic food. then they realize the role of the food and the secret ingredients in the food   GMOs That Are Sprayed With Roundup Soy Corn Cotton (for cottonseed oil) Canola Sugar Beets Alfalfa Zucchini Yellow Squash Papaya - from China & Hawaii Potatoes and Apples (engineered not to go brown) Can change expression in our bodies - very dangerous In fact, the person who made the potato, the scientist who first worked at Monsanto and then later at J.R.

He realized after he retired that it was a travesty and could be causing massive damage to health.   Other Mom-GMO Crops That Are Regularly Sprayed With Roundup Grains Beans Sunflowers Kiwi Citrus Potatoes Sweet Potatoes Vineyards ...and more!   What Roundup (Glyphosate) Does To Your Body It's primary poison is called glyphosate. Glyphosate was patented as a chelator. It chelates with all sorts of minerals making them unavailable, and these are the minerals we want to have available. . The reason it was patented, it was patented as a descaler to clean the mineral deposits inside industrial boilers and pipes. So it was a cleaning chemical. It kills the beneficial bacteria in the soil and also in our guts, but not the nasty pathogens. It blocks the shikimate pathway which is a seven-step metabolic route used by cells to function. The shikimate pathway is used by gut bacteria to produce the precursors to; serotonin, melatonin, dopamine. Causes a leaky gut. “When you take human cells in a Petri dish that are bound tightly together with tight junctions, and you add Roundup in that Petri dish, they separate. So it loses the tight junctions. If that happens inside our gut, that's leaky gut.” Linked to birth defects. Linked to increased cancer numbers.   An Activist’s Timeline IRT started talking about the health dangers early on, 1996. Jeffrey published Seeds of Deception in 2003. It became a world best seller. He traveled all over the world with that book. People started changing the way they're talking about GMOs. Starting around 2010, I found that people who had been reading my books and reading my articles which were not lightweight. They were detailed and long as to ensure understanding of all the issues we faced with GMOs and glyphosate. In 2010, IRT created the Tipping Point Network of groups. In 2010 the Non-GMO Project came up. Started to verify products. There was a flood of people trying to get their products, Non-GMO Project verified so that they would get a boost in sales. So there was an 18-month waiting list for getting their verification. In 2012, he released the movie Genetic Roulette, and also there was a ballot initiative in California for labeling. Between the two of them, the number of people that were concerned about the health dangers in GMOs went from 51% in 2012 to 61% in 2013. Whole Foods, in 2013, said at the Natural Foods Expo West, "We're going to require products to be either organic, certified, or Non-GMO Project verified by 2018, or they will be considered GMOs." They also mentioned that when a product becomes non-GMO verified, there's an increase in sales at 15 to 30%. That was the tipping point for the natural products industry. At the beginning of 2014, other products started to do the same, who are not in the natural products industry, first was Cheerios, and then Grape-Nuts. It started in 2014 in the mainstream, and now it's 46% of Americans say they're seeking non-GMO food. All the major food companies are putting more and more effort into replacing the GM ingredients due to consumer demand. Then comes along 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, determines that glyphosate is a class two A carcinogen. In particularly for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Now, the lawyers are involved because of the non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and they started to defend and take on cases of people that had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that were using Roundup, or the survivors. And winning.     Myths Busted   GMOs are the same as Crossbreeding The FDA scientists have said GMOs are different, lead to different risks, compared to natural breeding. George Wald, the Noble Laureate, said the same thing. Belinda Martineau, who did the first GMO tomato. It's no longer on the market. She says, "Of course it's not an extension of natural breeding. It's different. It leads to different risks. It creates massive collateral damage that's not seen in nature. Those mutations can be dangerous. A single point mutation can kill someone, and there can be hundreds or thousands of them when you do these transformations with genetic engineering."   GMOs Increase Average Yield & Help Feed the World Over 400 scientists contributed to a document for the United Nations. The most comprehensive evaluation, how to feed the world. What do they say about GMOs? Doesn't apply. It's not a solution. It does not have any positive impact to feed the hungry world, eradicate poverty, or create sustainable agriculture. The NY Times’ article agrees. Doubts About the Promised Bounty of Genetically Modified Crops It doesn't increase average yield, and yet agroecology and things like beyond organic can double yields in developing countries.      Deeper Dive Resources   Secret Ingredients - The Movie https://in188.isrefer.com/go/sifs/Organixx/   BOOK: Seeds of Deception https://amzn.to/2DC5N9O   BOOK: Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods https://amzn.to/2Jbcpj5   Institute of Responsible Technology https://responsibletechnology.org/   Pets & GMOs https://petsandgmos.com/   Shikimate Pathway https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15012217   Controversy Around the Séralini Study in 2012 https://www.gmoseralini.org/ten-things-you-need-to-know-about-the-seralini-study/ https://www.gmoseralini.org/retraction-by-corruption-seralini-study/ http://www.seralini.fr/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Novotny-JBPC-2018-On-Seralini-FCT-retraction.pdf   Laboratory Rodent Diets Contain Toxic Levels of Environmental Contaminants: Implications for Regulatory Tests https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4489719/   Transcriptome profile analysis reflects rat liver and kidney damage following chronic ultra-low dose Roundup exposure. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26302742   Glyphosate Causes Serious Multi-Generational Health Damage to Rats – New WSU Research https://responsibletechnology.org/glyphosate-causes-serious-multi-generational-health-damage-to-rats-new-wsu-research/   RoundUp Risks Website https://rounduprisks.com/   Effect of diets containing genetically modified potatoes expressing Galanthus nivalis lectin on rat small intestine https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(98)05860-7/fulltext   New UN Report: Pesticides Don’t Feed the World https://civileats.com/2017/03/13/new-un-report-pesticides-dont-feed-the-world/   BOOK: Pandora's Potatoes: The Worst GMOs https://amzn.to/2GV8NA0   Non-GMO Project https://www.nongmoproject.org/product-verification/ https://www.nongmoproject.org/about/   USDA Certified Organic https://www.usda.gov/topics/organic https://www.ams.usda.gov/rules-regulations/organic

The reason it was patented, it was patented as a descaler to clean the mineral deposits inside industrial boilers and pipes. So it was a cleaning chemical. It kills the beneficial bacteria in the soil and also in our guts, but not the nasty pathogens. It blocks the shikimate pathway which is a seven-step metabolic route used by cells to function. The shikimate pathway is used by gut bacteria to produce the precursors to; serotonin, melatonin, dopamine. Causes a leaky gut. “When you take human cells in a Petri dish that are bound tightly together with tight junctions, and you add Roundup in that Petri dish, they separate. So it loses the tight junctions. If that happens inside our gut, that's leaky gut.” Linked to birth defects. Linked to increased cancer numbers.   An Activist’s Timeline IRT started talking about the health dangers early on, 1996. Jeffrey published Seeds of Deception in 2003. It became a world best seller. He traveled all over the world with that book. People started changing the way they're talking about GMOs. Starting around 2010, I found that people who had been reading my books and reading my articles which were not lightweight. They were detailed and long as to ensure understanding of all the issues we faced with GMOs and glyphosate. In 2010, IRT created the Tipping Point Network of groups. In 2010 the Non-GMO Project came up. Started to verify products. There was a flood of people trying to get their products, Non-GMO Project verified so that they would get a boost in sales. So there was an 18-month waiting list for getting their verification. In 2012, he released the movie Genetic Roulette, and also there was a ballot initiative in California for labeling. Between the two of them, the number of people that were concerned about the health dangers in GMOs went from 51% in 2012 to 61% in 2013. Whole Foods, in 2013, said at the Natural Foods Expo West, "We're going to require products to be either organic, certified, or Non-GMO Project verified by 2018, or they will be considered GMOs." They also mentioned that when a product becomes non-GMO verified, there's an increase in sales at 15 to 30%. That was the tipping point for the natural products industry. At the beginning of 2014, other products started to do the same, who are not in the natural products industry, first was Cheerios, and then Grape-Nuts. It started in 2014 in the mainstream, and now it's 46% of Americans say they're seeking non-GMO food. All the major food companies are putting more and more effort into replacing the GM ingredients due to consumer demand. Then comes along 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, determines that glyphosate is a class two A carcinogen. In particularly for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Now, the lawyers are involved because of the non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and they started to defend and take on cases of people that had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that were using Roundup, or the survivors. And winning.     Myths Busted   GMOs are the same as Crossbreeding The FDA scientists have said GMOs are different, lead to different risks, compared to natural breeding. George Wald, the Noble Laureate, said the same thing. Belinda Martineau, who did the first GMO tomato. It's no longer on the market. She says, "Of course it's not an extension of natural breeding. It's different. It leads to different risks. It creates massive collateral damage that's not seen in nature. Those mutations can be dangerous. A single point mutation can kill someone, and there can be hundreds or thousands of them when you do these transformations with genetic engineering."   GMOs Increase Average Yield & Help Feed the World Over 400 scientists contributed to a document for the United Nations. The most comprehensive evaluation, how to feed the world. What do they say about GMOs? Doesn't apply. It's not a solution. It does not have any positive impact to feed the hungry world, eradicate poverty, or create sustainable agriculture. The NY Times’ article agrees. Doubts About the Promised Bounty of Genetically Modified Crops It doesn't increase average yield, and yet agroecology and things like beyond organic can double yields in developing countries.      Deeper Dive Resources   Secret Ingredients - The Movie https://in188.isrefer.com/go/sifs/Organixx/   BOOK: Seeds of Deception https://amzn.to/2DC5N9O   BOOK: Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods https://amzn.to/2Jbcpj5   Institute of Responsible Technology https://responsibletechnology.org/   Pets & GMOs https://petsandgmos.com/   Shikimate Pathway https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15012217   Controversy Around the Séralini Study in 2012 https://www.gmoseralini.org/ten-things-you-need-to-know-about-the-seralini-study/ https://www.gmoseralini.org/retraction-by-corruption-seralini-study/ http://www.seralini.fr/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Novotny-JBPC-2018-On-Seralini-FCT-retraction.pdf   Laboratory Rodent Diets Contain Toxic Levels of Environmental Contaminants: Implications for Regulatory Tests https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4489719/   Transcriptome profile analysis reflects rat liver and kidney damage following chronic ultra-low dose Roundup exposure. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26302742   Glyphosate Causes Serious Multi-Generational Health Damage to Rats – New WSU Research https://responsibletechnology.org/glyphosate-causes-serious-multi-generational-health-damage-to-rats-new-wsu-research/   RoundUp Risks Website https://rounduprisks.com/   Effect of diets containing genetically modified potatoes expressing Galanthus nivalis lectin on rat small intestine https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(98)05860-7/fulltext   New UN Report: Pesticides Don’t Feed the World https://civileats.com/2017/03/13/new-un-report-pesticides-dont-feed-the-world/   BOOK: Pandora's Potatoes: The Worst GMOs https://amzn.to/2GV8NA0   Non-GMO Project https://www.nongmoproject.org/product-verification/ https://www.nongmoproject.org/about/   USDA Certified Organic https://www.usda.gov/topics/organic https://www.ams.usda.gov/rules-regulations/organic

Please join us for an in-depth discussion. * * *   About Jeffrey Smith Jeffrey is the founding executive director of the Institute for Responsible Technology and the leading consumer advocate promoting healthier non-GMO choices. He was named the 2017 Person of the Year by Masters of Health Magazine for more than two decades or work in 45 countries exposing how biotech companies mislead policymakers and the public and put the health of society at risk.   In 2018, he and Amy Hart released Secret Ingredients, a documentary that highlights numerous individuals and families that healed from serious conditions after switching to an organic diet.

He has counseled government leaders and healthcare practitioners from every continent and has been quoted by thousands of news outlets, including The New York Times, the Washington Post, and Time Magazine. He appears on influential radio and television programs, including the BBC, NPR, Fox News, Democracy Now, The Doctors, and the Dr. Oz Show.   Secret Ingredients “The most effective and efficient tool at convincing people that they absolutely have to eat organic immediately”, Jeffrey Smith In the film, all these people get better from different diseases and disorders just after switching to organic food. then they realize the role of the food and the secret ingredients in the food   What Are The Secret Ingredients To Be Aware Of? GMOs It's traditionally been where you take a gene from one species and you force it into the DNA of another species. The 6 main crops are; soybeans, corn, cotton, canola, sugar beets, alfalfa. The main reason they genetically engineer is to allow that crop to be sprayed with herbicide. These are chemical companies making seeds that tolerate their chemicals. Roundup not JUST glyphosate in the formula -  the ENTIRE formula Roundup can be 125 times more toxic than glyphosate.    Human Health Impacts of GMOs - 10 Reasons to Avoid GMOs Source: https://responsibletechnology.org/10-reasons-to-avoid-gmos/ 1. GMOs are unhealthy. The American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) urges doctors to prescribe non-GMO diets for all patients. They cite animal studies showing organ damage, gastrointestinal and immune system disorders, accelerated aging, and infertility. Human studies show how genetically modified (GM) food can leave material behind inside us, possibly causing long-term problems. Genes inserted into GM soy, for example, can transfer into the DNA of bacteria living inside us, and that the toxic insecticide produced by GM corn was found in the blood of pregnant women and their unborn fetuses. Numerous health problems increased after GMOs were introduced in 1996. The percentage of Americans with three or more chronic illnesses jumped from 7% to 13% in just 9 years; food allergies skyrocketed, and disorders such as autism, reproductive disorders, digestive problems, and others are on the rise. Although there is not sufficient research to confirm that GMOs are a contributing factor, doctors groups such as the AAEM tell us not to wait before we start protecting ourselves, and especially our children who are most at risk. The American Public Health Association and American Nurses Association are among many medical groups that condemn the use of GM bovine growth hormone, because the milk from treated cows has more of the hormone IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor 1)―which is linked to cancer. 2. GMOs contaminate―forever. GMOs cross pollinate and their seeds can travel. It is impossible to fully clean up our contaminated gene pool. Self-propagating GMO pollution will outlast the effects of global warming and nuclear waste. The potential impact is huge, threatening the health of future generations. GMO contamination has also caused economic losses for organic and non-GMO farmers who often struggle to keep their crops pure. 3. GMOs increase herbicide use. Most GM crops are engineered to be “herbicide tolerant”―they deadly weed killer. Monsanto, for example, sells Roundup Ready crops, designed to survive applications of their Roundup herbicide. Between 1996 and 2008, US farmers sprayed an extra 383 million pounds of herbicide on GMOs. Overuse of Roundup results in “superweeds,” resistant to the herbicide. This is causing farmers to use even more toxic herbicides every year. Not only does this create environmental harm, GM foods contain higher residues of toxic herbicides. Roundup, for example, is linked with sterility, hormone disruption, birth defects, and cancer. 4.Genetic engineering creates dangerous side effects. By mixing genes from totally unrelated species, genetic engineering unleashes a host of unpredictable side effects. Moreover, irrespective of the type of genes that are inserted, the very process of creating a GM plant can result in massive collateral damage that produces new toxins, allergens, carcinogens, and nutritional deficiencies. 5. Government oversight is dangerously lax. Most of the health and environmental risks of GMOs are ignored by governments’ superficial regulations and safety assessments. The reason for this tragedy is largely political. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), for example, doesn’t require a single safety study, does not mandate labeling of GMOs, and allows companies to put their GM foods onto the market without even notifying the agency. Their justification was the claim that they had no information showing that GM foods were substantially different. But this was a lie. Secret agency memos made public by a lawsuit show that the overwhelming consensus even among the FDA’s own scientists was that GMOs can create unpredictable, hard-to-detect side effects. They urged long-term safety studies. But the White House had instructed the FDA to promote biotechnology, and the agency official in charge of policy was Michael Taylor, Monsanto’s former attorney, later their vice president. He was the US Food Safety Czar under President Obama. 6. The biotech industry uses “tobacco science” to claim product safety. Biotech companies like Monsanto told us that Agent Orange, PCBs, and DDT were safe. They are now using the same type of superficial, rigged research to try and convince us that GMOs are safe. Independent scientists, however, have caught the spin-masters red-handed, demonstrating without doubt how industry-funded research is designed to avoid finding problems, and how adverse findings are distorted or denied. 7. Independent research and reporting is attacked and suppressed. Scientists who discover problems with GMOs have been attacked, gagged, fired, threatened, and denied funding. The journal Nature acknowledged that a “large block of scientists . . . denigrate research by other legitimate scientists in a knee-jerk, partisan, emotional way that is not helpful in advancing knowledge.” Attempts by media to expose problems are also often censored. 8. GMOs harm the environment. GM crops and their associated herbicides can harm birds, insects, amphibians, marine ecosystems, and soil organisms. They reduce bio-diversity, pollute water resources, and are unsustainable. For example, GM crops are eliminating habitat for monarch butterflies, whose populations are down 50% in the US. Roundup herbicide has been shown to cause birth defects in amphibians, embryonic deaths and endocrine disruptors, and organ damage in animals even at very low doses. GM canola has been found growing wild in North Dakota and California, threatening to pass on its herbicide tolerant genes on to weeds. 9. GMOs do not increase yields, and work against feeding a hungry world. Whereas sustainable non-GMO agricultural methods used in developing countries have conclusively resulted in yield increases of 79% and higher, GMOs do not, on average, increase yields at all. This was evident in the Union of Concerned Scientists’ 2009 report Failure to Yield―the definitive study to date on GM crops and yield. The International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science and Technology for Development (IAASTD) report, authored by more than 400 scientists and backed by 58 governments, stated that GM crop yields were “highly variable” and in some cases, “yields declined.” The report noted, “Assessment of the technology lags behind its development, information is anecdotal and contradictory, and uncertainty about possible benefits and damage is unavoidable.” They determined that the current GMOs have nothing to offer the goals of reducing hunger and poverty, improving nutrition, health and rural livelihoods, and facilitating social and environmental sustainability. On the contrary, GMOs divert money and resources that would otherwise be spent on more safe, reliable, and appropriate technologies. 10. By avoiding GMOs, you contribute to the coming tipping point of consumer rejection, forcing them out of our food supply. Because GMOs give no consumer benefits, if even a small percentage of us start rejecting brands that contain them, GM ingredients will become a marketing liability. Food companies will kick them out. In Europe, for example, the tipping point was achieved in 1999, just after a high profile GMO safety scandal hit the papers and alerted citizens to the potential dangers. In the US, a consumer rebellion against GM bovine growth hormone has also reached a tipping point, kicked the cow drug out of dairy products by Wal-Mart, Starbucks, Dannon, Yoplait, and most of America’s dairies.   Differences  in Labeling Terms Non-GMO Project Verified Requires testing to prove there are no GMOs. Organic This term is regulated by USDA. Doesn’t allow Roundup and other toxins. Not allowed to have GMOs, but they don’t have to test for GMOs. Natural Means NOTHING from a regulation perspective. Only used as a marketing term to lull consumers into false security.   Jeffrey’s Recommendation Try to purchase Organic and Non-GMO Verified products to ensure the cleanest possible food. “Now, it's not going to be necessarily 100% pure all the time. It's the nature of nature. Pollen travels, wind blows, glyphosate is found in the rain and in the air because it's the most used agricultural chemical in history. So even products that are isolated, grown carefully as organic may have a small amount. And that's something we all have to accept because that's the facts. So we minimize our exposure by going to organic. It's not 100% guarantee. And so I just wanted to make that clear.”       Deeper Dive Resources   Secret Ingredients - The Movie https://in188.isrefer.com/go/sifs/Organixx/   BOOK: Seeds of Deception https://amzn.to/2DC5N9O   BOOK: Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods https://amzn.to/2Jbcpj5   Institute of Responsible Technology https://responsibletechnology.org/   Pets & GMOs https://petsandgmos.com/   Dr. Gilles-Éric Séralini http://www.seralini.fr/   Controversy Around the Séralini Study in 2012 https://www.gmoseralini.org/ten-things-you-need-to-know-about-the-seralini-study/ https://www.gmoseralini.org/retraction-by-corruption-seralini-study/ http://www.seralini.fr/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Novotny-JBPC-2018-On-Seralini-FCT-retraction.pdf   Laboratory Rodent Diets Contain Toxic Levels of Environmental Contaminants: Implications for Regulatory Tests https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4489719/   Transcriptome profile analysis reflects rat liver and kidney damage following chronic ultra-low dose Roundup exposure. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26302742   Glyphosate Causes Serious Multi-Generational Health Damage to Rats – New WSU Research https://responsibletechnology.org/glyphosate-causes-serious-multi-generational-health-damage-to-rats-new-wsu-research/   Dr. Arpad Pustazai https://www.organicconsumers.org/news/arpad-pusztai-and-risks-genetic-engineering   Effect of diets containing genetically modified potatoes expressing Galanthus nivalis lectin on rat small intestine https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(98)05860-7/fulltext   Project Censored https://www.projectcensored.org/?s=GMO   BOOK: Altered Genes, Twisted Truth: How the Venture to Genetically Engineer Our Food Has Subverted Science, Corrupted Government, and Systematically Deceived the Public https://amzn.to/2XRHWdJ   Non-GMO Project https://www.nongmoproject.org/product-verification/ https://www.nongmoproject.org/about/   USDA Certified Organic https://www.usda.gov/topics/organic https://www.ams.usda.gov/rules-regulations/organic

Pilotavsnittet till podcasten I trädgården med Karin och Elsa - en pod där vi pratar högt och lågt om trädgård. I första avsnittet presenterar vi oss själva och vårt intresse för det gröna. Vi pratar om chili, Capsicum, och snödroppar, Galanthus. Varför kan det vara bra att ha speglar på tåhättan och vilken chili är hårigast egentligen? En landskapsarkitekt, en trädgårdsingenjör - två växtnördar.

There are 19 species of the wild snowdrop in the world, all in the genus Galanthus. Wild snowdrops are found across much of Europe from Spain to the Caucasus , with Turkey being a hot spot for these 'milk flowers', but they are not found in Britain. What we think of as British wild snowdrops which herald the beginning of spring, are an introduced species or escapees from garden collections. Over the centuries gardeners have selected over 1000 distinct cultivars and that number is increasing every year. And so it takes a certain special kind of person to become a galanthophile, or a lover of snowdrops. Brett Westwood relives programmes from the Living World archives and in this episode from 2004 Brett himself travels to Somerset to explore the fascinating world of snowdrops with one such galanthophile Christine Skelmesdale. They start by discussing the snowdrop cultivars in Christine's garden before moving on to 'Snowdrop Valley' (or the more correctly called Avill Valley) on Exmoor. Christine explains the origins of UK snowdrops as imports from abroad, and that far from being native, snowdrops are a naturalised alien, though wonderful, plant.

För att pelargoner och andra krukväxter ska bli knubbiga och fina används så kallade retarderingsmedel, som hämmar tillväxten. Om krukväxten slängs i komposten kan växter skadas av kompostjorden. Efter att Odla med P1 tagit upp frågan, varnar nu Kemikalieinspektionen för att slänga krukväxter med retarderingsmedel på komposten.  Maj-Lis Pettersson svarar på två frågor som lyssnare skickat in till odla@sverigesradio.se Roger Holt, trädgårdsmästare i Botan i Uppsala, berättar om vårblommande perenner och om fjällväxter i trädgården, och hur man förlänger säsongen i sin rabatt. Här är två förslag på växter som man kan samplantera för lång blomning:   1: Snödroppar (Galanthus), julrosor (Helleborus), gullflocka (Hacquetia epipactis) och blåsippa (Anemone hepatica)  Vitsippor )Anemone nemorosa), lungört (Pulmonaria), blodört (Sanguinaria canadensis), treblad (Trillium), nunneörter (Corydalis), hundtandliljor (Erythronium) och vårärt (Lathyrus vernus) Löjtnantshjärta (Lamprocapnos spectabilis) blad av Hosta och bräken. Orkidéer, snöklocka/klosterlilja (Leucojum vernum) och tandrot (Cardamine) Akleja (Aquilegia), nävor (Geranium), liljor, stormhattar (Aconitum) och Hosta i blom  Vaxklocka (Kirengeshoma palmata, stånds (Ligularia) och höstsilverax (Actea simplex) Klematis finns både som tidig- och senblommande. 2: Krokus (Crocus) och vintergäck (Eranthis) Tulpaner (Tulipa) och Narcisser, våradonis (Adonis vernalis), tusensköna (Bellis perennis) och gulltörel (Euphorbia epithymoides Violer som t.ex. hornviol (Viola cornuta), kantnepeta (Nepeta faassenii) och lavendeln (Lavendula angustifolia) först som dekorativa kuddar sedan blommande. Pioner (Paeonia), vallmo (Papaver), praktrölleka (Achillea filipendula), Acanthus, olika salvior (stäppsalvian är en favorit!), dagliljor (Hemerocallis), isop (Hyssopus officinalis) och prästkrage (Leucanthemum vulgare).  Solhattar (Echinacea), rudbeckia, temynta (Monarda) och höstflox (Phlox paniculata)  Aster så som brittsommaraster (Aster amellus), luktaster (Symphyotrichum novea-angliae), höstaster (Symphyotrichum novi-belgii) och prickaster (Aster sedifolius) till exempel.
