In this cozy winter episode of Hort Culture, the hosts chat about early sunsets, shifting routines, and the comforting hobbies that come with the season before diving into the real topic: helping houseplants adjust after being brought indoors. They explain why plants often decline a few weeks after the move—lower light, low humidity, and indoor heating all play a role—and note that some leaf drop is simply a natural response to shorter days. The team discusses why many people summer their houseplants outdoors for better growth or to trigger blooms in plants like Christmas cacti, then cover what stress looks like when those plants return indoors. They share practical tips including using the lift test or finger test to gauge moisture, avoiding overwatering, grouping plants for microclimates, and keeping sensitive species away from heat vents. With a blend of humor and experience, the hosts remind listeners that winter is a season of slowing down—and that with patience and a few adjustments, houseplants can thrive through it.Caring for houseplants in the winterWinter Considerations for HouseplantsAcclimating outdoor plants to the indoors for winterIndoor PlantsQuestions/Comments/Feedback/Suggestions for Topics: hortculturepodcast@gmail.comCheck us out on Instagram!

In this cozy late-fall episode, the Hort Culture team (Alexis, Jessica, and Ray) talk all about lifting, curing, dividing, and storing tender bulbs and tubers—especially dahlias, begonias, caladiums, gladiolus, cannas, elephant ears, and more.The hosts begin by chatting about Kentucky's unpredictable weather, winter chores, and even a tangent about hot chocolate “tea hacks,” before digging into the main topic: what to do with plants that can't survive a Zone 6 winter in the ground.They walk through the why and how of storing tubers successfully: Prevent rot and prevent drying out—the two main goals. Ideal storage temps: generally 40–50°F, with some exceptions like caladiums that prefer it warmer. Curing time: often just a few days with good airflow, and you don't need to overthink it. Leave the soil on to avoid excess moisture and bacterial problems. Check stored tubers monthly for rot, shriveling, or excess dryness. Storage media options: pine shavings, vermiculite, peat moss (in drier spaces), perlite, and more. Dividing dahlias: the trickiest—eyes form near the crown, not on the tuber body, and are easier to see when the clump is warm or beginning to sprout. Tools they rely on: shovels, digging forks, loppers, snips, and sometimes saws for huge clumps like cannas.They wrap up with discussion on microclimates, overwintering experiments, and the joys of having a cellar or basement that naturally works as an ideal root-cellar environment.Overall, the episode is a friendly, practical deep-dive into helping gardeners confidently store their favorite tender ornamentals through winter—and maybe even multiply their stock through spring dividing.Digging and Storing Tender Bulbs Protects them from Freezing TemperaturesQuestions/Comments/Feedback/Suggestions for Topics: hortculturepodcast@gmail.comCheck us out on Instagram!

Electricity.Mike Casey is a self-described “tech bro turned farmer” from Cromwell, New Zealand. Mike runs what's believed to be the world's first fully electric farm, made up of 21 electric machines, from irrigation systems and frost-fighting fans, to electric tractors and forklifts. His business is aptly named Electric Cherries, where power is generated from renewable sources on-farm. Mike says this has enabled him to save tens of thousands on energy costs every year, while also developing a business model for farming that's both profitable and low-carbon.Sarah and Mike discuss:How an old diesel pump kicked off Mike's electrification crusadeThe economics of going electric on a farm (and is it only possible in New Zealand or on a cherry farm?)What electric machinery changes (and doesn't) about running a farm business Why farmers stand to benefit from the shift away from centralized, fossil fuel power generation to decentralized renewable energyMike is also the CEO of Rewiring Aotearoa, a movement helping Kiwis switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy.

This episode of the Hort Culture podcast kicks off with a spirited, lighthearted debate among the hosts about the definition of "peak fall" and where the line between autumn and winter truly lies. Following this seasonal discussion, the episode features guest Daniel Wilson, Director of the University of Kentucky's Robinson Center, a unique facility in Eastern Kentucky that integrates extension, research, and student learning as a land-grant mission hub. Wilson discusses the center's critical role and the ongoing, intentional rebuilding efforts following the devastating July 2022 flood, which destroyed eight of the center's thirteen structures, with a grand opening for the new "campus feel" set for Spring 2026. Beyond its traditional agricultural studies on row crops, the center is crucial for regional horticulture and sustainable Appalachian land use, providing site-specific data and research on crops like mushrooms, ginseng, and elderberry. Wilson highlights the impactful Heirloom Seed Project, a post-flood effort where the center's horticulturalist grew specific heirloom beans on their hop trellises to harvest and return the seeds to families who had lost their multi-generational seed stock, directly linking the center's research to the region's heritage and recovery.Robinson CenterRobinson ForestRobinson Center Wood Utilization CenterRobinson Center FacebookQuestions/Comments/Feedback/Suggestions for Topics: hortculturepodcast@gmail.comCheck us out on Instagram!

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. But gardeners never sleep so Lucy and Saul are still out and about in their plots plying the horticultural trade they both love. So join them both for more horti-waffle and insights into the life of the modern, professional gardener.The Autumn peak has been and gone, and leaves are dominating the ground especially with the squally winds and rain - it's still quite mild though! The big news in the industry at the moment though is the RHS State of Gardening Report, a deep dive into everything gardening especially what our indistry contributes to the economy, health, the environment and to society in general, an interesting and often eye opening look at why Horticulture is great! Also launched recently is the RHS Horticultural Hub, for those gardeners who know their onions and want to get into a more in depth look of their favourite hobby or job.Instagram link:Lucy lucychamberlaingardensLinkedIn link:Saul WalkerIntro and Outro music from https://filmmusic.io"Fireflies and Stardust" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com)License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)Support the show

Erin Silva, Ph.D. https://cias.wisc.edu/directory/17158/FoA 280: Organic Farming Myths and Realities With Erin SilvaI wanted to invite Erin Silva back on the show to hear about her continued work with farmers that are going down the path of organic AND regenerative. On the surface, those two farming approaches are easy to get behind: let's try to reduce our dependence on synthetic chemistry and let's try to build soil health over time while still farming intensively and profitably. But in practice, there are tradeoffs. To promote more living roots on the soil through cover crops, as one example, farmers need a way to terminate those cover crops and using herbicides for that is really really helpful. So I'm intrigued about how farmers are making these systems work and how scientists like Erin our doing the critical research to understand how these practices can work on more acres for more farmers. So that is what today's episode is all about, and for context I'll give you a brief bio on our guest. Dr. Erin Silva is an Associate Professor and State Extension Specialist in Organic and Sustainable Cropping Systems in the Department of Plant Pathology as well as the Director for the Center for Integrated Agricultural Systems in the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences at UW-Madison. Her research influences the strong organic sector that contributes to Wisconsin's agricultural economy, with Wisconsin second only to California as the state with the greatest number of organic farms. In continued support of these farms and the organic sector within the state, nation, and globally, her research and scholarly contributions continue to be directed in the broad area of the biology and agroecology of organic crop management, with emphases on cover crops, soil health, and genotype/ environment interactions. Dr Silva earned her Ph.D. in Horticulture at Washington State University.
