In this episode of The Flower Podcast, Scott welcomes Erik van der Sluys of Beneficial Insectary for a deep dive into natural pest control strategies tailored specifically for flower farmers. They explore practical, real-world approaches to managing common pests such as thrips, aphids, whiteflies, spider mites, and fungus gnats, and discuss how integrating beneficial insects into your growing system can dramatically improve plant health and resilience. Erik breaks down how growers can strengthen their Integrated Pest Management (IPM) through foundational cultural practices (watering, fertilizing, crop rotation), sanitation practices (removing plant debris, cleaning tools, controlling weeds), and mechanical controls (sticky traps, insect screens, targeted water sprays). He also explains how and when to release beneficial insects—such as predatory mites, parasitic wasps, lacewings, and lady beetles—to support the natural ecosystem of your fields, tunnels, and greenhouses. Listeners will learn how to read seasonal pest patterns, track insect lifecycles, monitor temperatures for pest activity, and build habitats that attract and sustain beneficial insects. The conversation highlights why understanding the biology of both pests and beneficials is essential for long-term success, especially when dealing with repeat issues in crops like dahlias, lisianthus, zinnias, snapdragons, and more. Whether you're looking to reduce chemical pesticides, improve your biological control strategy, or create a more sustainable, resilient flower farm, this episode is packed with actionable guidance and expert insights to help you manage pests naturally—and grow stronger, healthier blooms.

Autumn is here on the Talking Heads podcast - as the last vestiges of Summer in the garden dodge the wet and windy weather while trying to give the last hurrah before that inevitable but pleasantly seasonable slide into the hibernation of winter.

So join them both for more horti-waffle and insights into the life of the modern, professional gardener.Leaves, frost and rain...that's been this Autumn summed up...so not much gardening talk on todays podcast but instead two pieces of huge news in Saul and Lucy's lives.

Susan Bernauer, author of Gardener's Journal: Journey into the World of Gardening, shares how anyone can begin growing plants, whether on a small balcony or in a large backyard. She explains that gardening is less about expertise and more about curiosity, patience, and observation. Her book offers practical guidance for beginners, covering seed starting, soil care, composting, and how to record plant notes to remember what works year after year. She emphasizes that gardening can be both educational and therapeutic, helping people reconnect with nature and relieve stress.In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Susan talks about how gardening evolved from a childhood pastime into a lifelong passion focused on shade gardens and succulents. She explains how to choose plants that fit your space and lifestyle, avoid common mistakes, and turn your gardening into a creative project instead of a chore. Her spiral-bound version of the Gardener's Journal even allows you to cut out pages and create a custom notebook to track your plants, making it a hands-on guide for personal growth through gardening. Quotes: “If you're caring for a plant, you're already a gardener. It's about learning and trying, not perfection.” “Gardening is a journey. Even advanced gardeners don't know everything. You learn through trial and error.” “When life gets stressful, working in the garden helps you relax and reconnect with yourself.” “Write down what works for you. Next year, you'll be ahead instead of starting over.” Resources: Connect with Susan Bernauer on Facebook Get "Gardener's Journal: Journey into the World of Gardening" Amazon

Whether she's judging tide times on Mersea Island, dodging rainclouds in her village or dashing across town to help out her smallholder parents, there's never a dull moment and each week poses different challenges.

Is your mind growing weeds or roses? In this eye-opening episode, we explore the powerful metaphor that your mind is fertile soil—it doesn't judge what you plant; it simply makes it grow. Whether you plant seeds of doubt, fear, or inspiration and success, the soil obliges. Learn how to stop being an accidental farmer and start becoming a master gardener of your mind. We cover essential techniques for "weeding out" negative self-talk, choosing the right "seeds" (thoughts and ideas), and ensuring the right "nutrients" (media, relationships, exposure) lead to a thriving, positive, and productive life. New Episode of the Happiness Podcast with Dr. Robert Puff, Ph.D.

Promises, promises. We all make them at the beginning of each year. And — made desperate by the cold claws of winter — gardeners make even bigger ones at the beginning of each growing season. Today on The Garden Mixer, Leslie and Marianne take journalistic integrity to a new level and actually follow up with the promises made, the products they loved, and the season they foretold back in February when they hosted Erin Schanen, The Impatient Gardener. They're catching up with this popular Midwestern gardener and social media star over large cocktails and larger garnishes, and Marianne is throwing out some suspiciously large statistics in honor of the first anniversary of their Substack debut. From the angst of sweet peas to the unbridled joy of bananas, it's definitely confession time, and no-one's skimping on the honesty or the drinks. Join these three gardener-friends as they beat their chests and rend their garments.

It was a quiet evening in rural Thailand in 1958. A father is out looking for his son who had yet to return home, when he spots a faint orange glow in the distance. As he approaches, he sees the local vegetable vendor standing beside a small pile of burning leaves; and beneath them, something pale. It's a leg. A child's leg. His son's leg. Part 1 - We explore the background of the man who would come to be known as the child cannibal, Si Quey, as well as the horrific events of that evening in 1958. Part 2 - We follow the aftermath of the conviction and execution of Si Quey, uncovering the controversies and complications embedded in this case.

It was a quiet evening in rural Thailand in 1958. A father is out looking for his son who had yet to return home, when he spots a faint orange glow in the distance. As he approaches, he sees the local vegetable vendor standing beside a small pile of burning leaves; and beneath them, something pale. It's a leg. A child's leg. His son's leg. Part 1 - We explore the background of the man who would come to be known as the child cannibal, Si Quey, as well as the horrific events of that evening in 1958. Part 2 - We follow the aftermath of the conviction and execution of Si Quey, uncovering the controversies and complications embedded in this case.

Love and Torah—what's the link? This series focuses on the “Two Great Commands"—loving Yahweh and your neighbor. While many groups claim to believe in the Creator and His Messiah, they often hold differing views. Everyone agrees love is vital, but what does it look like in practice? What actions does it involve? In this series, Love & Torah, Rabbi Steve Berkson offers straightforward biblical insights into these questions. After finishing his study of Psalm 119, which highlights loving Elohim, Rabbi Berkson now turns to how to love others. The Gospel of John, chapter 15, serves as an ideal starting point, as Messiah Yeshua uses agricultural metaphors to teach His disciples about the relationship He desires among believers. • What is the “gap” between the Gardener and the Vine? • What does pruning mean? How does it relate to you? • If Messiah Yeshua calls Himself the “True Vine," could there be false vines? • Why did Messiah Yeshua say, “Stay in Me"? • Why does verse 15:3 mention being clean because of the Word? • What is a direct download from the Ruach? • Do you need to pray before doing anything? • What is “Vertical Awareness”? Rabbi Berkson once again analyzes these passages in detail, helping you gain a deeper understanding of what Yah expects and how you can fulfill it to receive blessings.

This week we finish up Artober on CP, in conversation with artist, Mary Jackson, a renowned sweetgrass basket weaver known for combining traditional methods with contemporary designs.  Based in the Low Country of South Carolina, Mary is the descendant of generations of Gullah basket weavers. Born in 1945, in 2008, Mary was awarded a MacArthur Foundation fellowship (“Genius Grant”) for "pushing the centuries-old tradition in stunning new directions”.  From the 1970s through to the early 2000s, Mary became something of an accidental Gardener, environmental restorationist, and economic driver, when she recognized the dwindling supply and access to the signature native sweetgrass that her cultural art and tradition relied on. This diminishing resource was due in part to booming development along the U.S. Southeast coasts, the fragmentation and destruction of delicate coastal ecosystems, and the increasing exclusion of Gullah basketmakers from traditional harvest sites. Mary took it on herself to organize the basketmaking community, and working in collaboration with this community and Robert DuFault, of the Clemson University Department of Biological Sciences, her initiative led work to secure sustainable availability and access to native sweetgrass (Muhlenbergia sp.) for the traditional basket makers, and future of this traditional art, craft, and cultural symbol. Gullah Sweetgrass baskets are an over 400-year tradition in the U.S. Southeast, first as a highly prized skill and centuries, if not millennia-old, passed-down knowledge of enslaved West Africans being brought to the colonies. These skills and knowledge directly contributed to the success specifically of rice farming in the region, where highly developed and precisely crafted utilitarian baskets were used for everything from carrying, harvesting, winnowing, to fine household tasks.  Gullah Sweetgrass Baskets are a continued symbol of the City of Charleston, South Carolina, and for over a century, these skilled artists and their basketry have been an economic and cultural mainstay in the region. All depending on healthy and abundant native sweetgrass, palmetto, and loblolly or longleaf pine ecosystems and supply. The “access” Mary catalyzed in response to this contraction of the health and supply of sweetgrass ultimately included: research into successful germination of sweetgrass at scale and teaching basket makers how to grow sweetgrass at home; the enventual introduction of Muhlenbergia species to the plant and garden trade, making it now a staple of the ornamental grass and native plant movements; large-scale plantings of the grasses on private and public grounds with permission for basketmakers to harvest and tend; and, finally, Army Corps of Engineers and coastal developments working to replant and restorate inter-tidal beach dunes with the stabilizing native sweetgrass.  All of this from one woman's impulse to cultivate plants with an eye to protecting the legacy of her people, and the future of their craft. Now an elder, Mary agreed to be one of the interview subjects of our 10 Cultivating Place Live events in 2024 and 2025. For the CP LIVE events, which will be included in the final Cultivating Place: The Power of Gardeners documentary film series, Jennifer interviewed Mary Jackson, Robert Dufault, and next-generation artist and Sweetgrass basket leader, Corey Alston in front of a public audience in Theodora Park, Charleston, SC. This week's podcast conversation was an interview with just Mary and Jennifer filmed and recorded live by EM EN in Mary's Studio, on John's Island, outside of Charleston. Enjoy!
