There are a lot of different things that can derail a fruit crop, even after your blossoms have survived the last frost. It was a tough spring for many fruit crops, but if you are lucky enough to have some fruit on your tree, there are a few things you can do to help them thrive. On this Horticulture Day episode, we hear from Iowa State University Extension Horticulture Specialists Randal Vos and Aaron Steil. We find out what we should be doing when it comes to summer fruit management and answer listener questions.

We think we might have found the son of the grape lady. 

There are a lot of different factors that can derail a fruit crop, even after your blossoms have survived the last frost. It was a tough spring for many fruit crops, but if you are lucky enough to have some fruit on your tree, there are a few things you can do to help them thrive. Iowa State Extension Horticulture Specialist Randall Vos joins us to discuss what we should be doing when it comes to summer fruit management.

Wisconsin's grape growers have been keeping a close eye on the changing weather. Kiley Allan gets an early season forecast from Phillipe Coucard, owner/operator of Wollersheim Winery in Prairie du Sac. With 70 acres of vines to manage, his staff mobilizes early to evaluate conditions. He says so far things have been going well. Insect pressure has been low and so has early disease concerns. He already anticipates a smaller crop this year just because of the colder April temperatures the vines were exposed to. He emphasizes that sunlight is the critical factor for grape quality, as it directly drives sugar content, color, and flavor concentration. The optimal growing season for the vineyard consists of early spring rain followed by dry June and July, a single week of rain in August, and a completely dry stretch leading up to harvest. It looks like a nice weekend for developing in Wisconsin. Stu Muck says there will likely be some showers popping up again Saturday afternoon - but then the faucet shuts off and temperatures moderate into next week. Northwest Wisconsin soybean grower, Andy Bensend, is focused on the weather right now. He sits on the Wisconsin Soybean Marketing Board and knows that critical research, funded by soybean growers like him, is happening. Bensend explains how the board members prioritize the "buckets" to which checkoff dollars are designated. In-field research is critical. Bensend says Wisconsin's reputation for it's top-notch research team is well known in the upper Midwest and nationally. There's also the investment in new products and helping people understand what these products can do. This is all part of what the Wisconsin Soybean Marketing Board works on every day. Paid for by the WI Soybean Marketing Board. Grapes aren't the only unique Wisconsin crop watching the weather. Nathan Bula at Spears R Us in Adams has an asparagus crop depending on it. Bula says asparagus appeared earlier than he's ever seen - but then got delayed by April frost/freezes. He waited 11 days without a harvest for the spears to develop. Another big June Dairy celebration weekend is ahead. Dane county will welcome thousands of people to Swaindale Genetics in Deerfield on Saturday. With just 25 milking cows, this farm looks different than previous hosts. Gary Swain and his wife, Dana Kelly, explain why they're hosting and the story they want to share about family and community commitment. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Adani started buying apples in Himachal Pradesh two decades ago. Not because it wanted to be in the fruit business — but because it wanted to own the cold chain that nobody else was building.Now the India-New Zealand free trade agreement is about to test Indian apple growers like never before. New Zealand yields 50 to 70 tonnes per hectare. Himachal Pradesh averages 7 to 8.Adani just expanded into cherries, plums, and peaches — fruits even more perishable than apples. The bet is the same as it always was: whoever controls refrigeration, controls the market.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

Pack the car! Route 66 turns 100 this year, and the Mother Road is still one weird and wild ride. We're hitting the highway from the California border to the New Mexico high desert, where we'll encounter the feral donkeys who rule the streets of a gold rush boomtown, visit an abandoned zoo with a body count, and climb a 2,000-year-old pueblo with a hidden staircase that outsmarted the Spanish conquistadors. Along the way, journalist and adventurer Will Grant introduces us to the people who populate this legendary road: a Hualapai elder who remembers the highway's golden age, the determined shopkeeper who fought to preserve her town's iconic neon glow, and a young Diné man who grew up at his family's trading post. Together, they share what the centenarian route means to the communities that depend on it—and tap into the powerful hold it still has on the nation's imagination. Whether you long for an epic Western roadtrip or you're just here for the vintage kitsch, this episode will have you reaching for the keys. Where Route 66 takes us: Oatman, Arizona: Stop to cuddle the adorable baby burrows in this old mining town. Kingman, Arizona: Home to the Arizona Route 66 Museum, where Model T's roll in from Chicago and tourists arrive from around the globe. Peach Springs, Arizona: The heart of the Hualapai Nation, where the tribal market is the unofficial town square. Williams, Arizona: Vintage neon signs dot one of the most authentic main streets on the route. Two Guns, Arizona: An abandoned zoo where the murderous owner was mauled by his own mountain lions. Winslow, Arizona: The sandstone canyon where Easy Rider and The Grapes of Wrath were filmed, plus a classic Diné trading post. Acoma Pueblo, New Mexico: Dubbed Sky City, this mesa-top village is the oldest continuously inhabited community in the U.S. Guest: Will Grant Born and raised in Colorado, Will Grant brings a cowboy-philosopher's eye to the landscapes, characters, and histories that make the West unlike anywhere else on earth. After college, he worked as a cowboy and a horse trainer in Colorado, Wyoming, and Texas, where he apprenticed under the legendary horseman Jack Brainard. In 2008, he pivoted to a career in journalism, but he continues to seek out ways to combine horses and storytelling. His 2023 book, The Last Ride of the Pony Express, recounts his 2,000-mile journey along the famed mail route with his horses Chicken Fry and Badger. Other adventures include a 600-mile horse race across Mongolia, an expedition to find gold in Arizona, and two trips to Kyrgyzstan to play kok boru, the most dangerous horseback game on the planet.  For Via, Will traded his saddle for a steering wheel to investigate some of the most storied—and strangest—stretches of Route 66. His writing has also appeared in Outside magazine, Bloomberg Businessweek, the Wall Street Journal, and regional publications throughout the West. Will currently lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with his partner, Claire Antoszewski, and two dogs, three chickens, and five horses. Via Podcast is a production of AAA Mountain West Group.

André joins Miroki fresh from a short trip to the east coast. He had a chance to visit two wineries in the Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia. He had a chance to visit Benjamin Bridge, and Lightfoot and Wolfville. There were many surprising moments he experienced while visiting the wineries - but none were more surprising than when he tasted a sparkling Rosé from Benjamin Bridge that gave him goosebumps. He was further moved tasting the still hybrid wines from Lightfoot and Wolfville. These delicious wines got him thinking about the way we look at hybrid grapes - and how Miroki may have been right all along about how we vinify these often maligned varieties.You can hear our interview with Haley Brown from Wines of Nova Scotia from when we were on the radio here - https://open.spotify.com/episode/1vaQDchypZpFwbCTx2FGGP?si=T9e2EXSHRvmc7y2c1RZVWQYou can listen to us taste through Tidal Bay with Danny Longo here - https://open.spotify.com/episode/5izo88iwfp4tuUQNJexmQ6?si=qgP8C_9SQeGQLiVGVDWpEQWineries visited -Benjamin Bridge - https://benjaminbridge.com/Lightfoot and Wolfville - https://lightfootandwolfville.com/You can follow Miroki on Instagram @9ouncespleaseYou can follow André on Instagram @andrewinereview Hosted on Acast.

Barbera is one of Italy's most widely planted red grapes and an essential part of Piemontese wine culture. It is native to the Monferrato hills, where it has been grown for centuries and important to the overall wine landscape of the region. Adaptable, drought-resistant, and capable of producing everything from bright, food-friendly, everyday wines to serious oak-aged bottles, Barbera has spread beyond its homeland — to California, Argentina, Australia and more. A grower's and winemaker's favorite grape for its easygoing nature in the vineyard and the winery, in the glass, Barbera takes many forms. From acidic and fruity to oaked with darker fruit and spice, it is food-friendly, pairing with everything from braised meat to pizza.   As in all the grape miniseries, I cover the DNA of the grape (a fairly recent discovery and kind of a funny story), its history, its behavior in the vineyard and winery, aromas and flavors of the grape and regions in Italy and abroad that make Barbera.  Much has happened with Barbera since I last discussed it in 2018 -- take a listen and hear the latest!    Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon. Join the community today! www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople _______________________________________________________________   This show is brought to you by my exclusive sponsor, Wine Access – THE place to discover your next favorite bottle.

Happy National Grape Popsicle Day!

The Shiver of the Vampire (1972), Lips of Blood (1975), and The Living Dead Girl (1982) The films created by director Jean Rollin are unlike anything else in the history of cinema.  If you make your way into his incredible filmic world, you will be entranced by its beauty, cinematic landscapes, and unique horrors. And the more you venture down this path, the more you'll start to pick up on repeating themes and motifs. Like Rollin, liminality, memory and nostalgia, families, surrealism and expressionism, might become your obsessions- they were certainly his.   If it is carefully constructed plots, realistic storylines, and deeply developed characters that you are searching for, then Rollin probably isn't for you. But if you want the unique, the obsessive, the utterly gorgeous? Then you must dive into Rollin's work if you've never stepped into that sea. And if you've been here before? Well, then there is no time like the present to walk slowly through the surf, exploring the past and finding landmarks jutting up just past the beach like forlorn teeth in a skull being beaten by the waves of memory.  Films mentioned in this episode: Beyond the Black Rainbow (2010), Un chien andalou (1929), Demoniacs (1974), Fascination (1979), The Grapes of Death (1978), Lips of Blood (1975), The Living Dead Girl (1982), Mandy (2018), The Night of the Hunted (1980), The Nude Vampire (1970), The Rape of the Vampire (1968), Requiem for a Vampire (1972), The Shiver of the Vampires (1971), Zombie Lake (1981)

BXT kept coming up in conversations over the last month. Casual conversations about bubbles always led back to one name, Tom Sherwood. Even friends who don’t live in California were talking about BXT and drinking the wines in their Instagram feeds. Who was this guy ? We reached out through Insta on direct message; he was willing to come. Even Todd Jolly, our friend from Sonma’s Best Wine Shop, wanted in on the action. The show was set, and finally we will meet this mysterious figure who is opening everyone’s eyes to grower sparkling wine in California. BXT is an exploration of Californian viticulture through the lens of traditionally made sparkling wine. BXT Vines are personally hand farmed with additional grapes being sourced from talented, passionate growers across unique sites in California. Grapes are hand-picked, gently whole cluster pressed and fermented in new and used French oak. The wine ages 6-9 months in barrel prior to being bottled with yeast and sugar. Secondary fermentation takes place in bottle, and the wine is then left undisturbed until ready. Bottles are then hand riddled and disgorged. Small Batch. Traditionally made. Sparkling wines of California. [Ep 411] @bxtwines bxtwines.com

Fly, you fools! Yes, that's right, Ian McKellen — the legendary English actor who is Gandalf and Magneto, get over it — is our guest on this week's Empire Podcast, as John Nugent pops over to McKellen's own pub, The Grapes in Limehouse, for a lovely chat about his new film, Steven Soderbergh's The Christophers. [46:32 - 1:00:02 approx] Speaking of Christophers, back in the podbooth Chris Hewitt is joined by Helen O'Hara, James Dyer, and Harry Stainer for a fun episode in which they discuss the greatest characters who joined franchises after the first film, and whether event cinema is making a comeback. They also run their eye over the week's movie news, including news of a possible Tintin 2, and review Curry Barker's Obsession, The Christophers, The Punisher: One Last Kill, and Ben Wheatley's Bob Odenkirk action fest, Normal. Enjoy!

Italian wine inspires passion, curiosity, and, for many people, a fair amount of confusion. Even devoted wine lovers can feel overwhelmed when faced with Italy's astonishing range of native grape varieties, regional traditions, appellations, and bottles whose labels sometimes seem to raise more questions than answers. Unlike wine cultures built around a relatively smaller group of internationally recognized grapes, Italy's wine identity is gloriously complex, shaped by geography, history, climate, and deeply local traditions that can shift dramatically from one valley to the next. That's precisely what makes Italian Wine: The History, Regions, and Grapes of an Iconic Wine Country, co-authored by Kate Leahy and Shelley Lindgren, such a genuinely useful and engaging book. In our recent podcast conversation,  Kate and I talked not only about the book itself, but about why Italian wine remains one of the most fascinating, and sometimes misunderstood, wine cultures in the world. Listen to the episode and don't forget you can also watch the upcoming YouTube version of the episode!

Professionalism and the "Unknown Self": Event Leadership with Jane MonroeIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Jane Monroe, the owner of Embrace The Grape, to explore the intersection of high-stakes event execution and intentional leadership. Jane, a seasoned beverage caterer, keynote speaker, and emcee, shares her journey of building a 17-year reputation rooted in unwavering professionalism and legal compliance. This conversation provides a strategic roadmap for entrepreneurs who struggle with the "DIY" mentality of clients, offering a deep dive into how strict adherence to standards and deep self-awareness can become a business's greatest competitive advantage.The Architecture of Authority: Compliance, "Reading the Room," and DiscoveryThe beverage catering industry is often fraught with liability and logistical hurdles, yet Jane Monroe has scaled Embrace The Grape by leaning into the complexities rather than avoiding them. By prioritizing licensing and insurance as non-negotiable assets, Jane provides a "full-service" peace of mind that allows hosts to actually participate in their own events. This level of professionalism is built on a foundation of client education, where the team explains the "why" behind legal protocols, effectively filtering for high-quality clients who value reliability over risk. For event professionals, the lesson is clear: your reputation is forged in the moments you refuse to cut corners, and long-term credibility is always more profitable than short-term convenience.Beyond the logistics of catering, Jane's background as a mobile DJ taught her the essential leadership skill of "reading the room." This intuitive ability to observe, adapt, and engage is what separates a service provider from a true experience creator. Whether managing a wedding crowd or leading a corporate team, the ability to pivot based on energy and feedback is vital. This adaptability is further refined through Jane's framework of the "Four Identities," which challenges leaders to investigate their known, blind, and hidden selves. By actively seeking feedback and pushing into the "unknown self"—the parts of our potential only revealed through extreme challenges—leaders can build a resilient internal operating system that inspires autonomy and growth in others.True discovery often happens outside the boardroom, as evidenced by Jane's participation in a 340-mile kayak race. These moments of discomfort are where the "unknown self" emerges, providing a visceral understanding of one's limits and capabilities. In the workplace, this translates to a culture where self-leadership is the prerequisite for leading others. When a founder or manager models integrity and empathy, they set a standard that empowers their staff to handle unexpected situations gracefully. By investing in soft skills like improv and deep self-reflection, leaders can ensure that when the "stakes are high," they aren't just following a script, but are instead providing the steady, calm authority that clients and teams desperately need.About Jane MonroeJane Monroe is the owner of Embrace The Grape and an accomplished keynote speaker and emcee known as "Keynote Jane." With nearly two decades of experience in the event industry, Jane has mastered the art of beverage catering, combining strict legal professionalism with high-energy crowd engagement. She is a dedicated advocate for self-awareness and leadership, helping others discover their untapped potential through her "Four Identities" framework and her personal commitment to extreme physical and mental challenges.About Embrace The GrapeEmbrace The Grape is a premier beverage catering company based in the Kansas City area, specializing in high-end weddings, corporate functions, and outdoor festivals. Unlike standard bar services, Embrace The Grape provides a comprehensive approach that includes licensing, insurance, and highly trained staff to ensure guest safety and event flow. The company is built on the philosophy of "beverage catering done right," allowing clients to focus on their guests while professionals handle the intricacies of alcohol service.Links Mentioned in This EpisodeEmbrace The Grape Official Website: embracecatering.comJane Monroe on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/janemonroe/Key Episode HighlightsProfessionalism as a Filter: Why following the law and maintaining high insurance standards attracts better clients and builds a lasting brand.The "Four Identities" Framework: A deep dive into self-awareness and how discovering the "unknown self" transforms leadership.Reading the Room: Lessons from Jane's DJ background on how to adapt and engage with different audiences in real-time.The Value of Discomfort: How extreme challenges, like long-distance kayaking, reveal leadership traits that remain hidden in comfort.Educating the Client: Transforming the sales process into an educational journey that builds trust and sets clear expectations.ConclusionThe conversation with Jane Monroe emphasizes that true success in the event industry and in leadership is a byproduct of self-mastery and professionalism. By educating clients on the value of compliance and pushing oneself to discover the "unknown self" through challenge, entrepreneurs can build businesses that are both legally sound and culturally impactful.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur
