Podcasts about marigolds

You don't need to spray a bunch of pesticides to control pests in your garden. Long before the invention of chemical sprays, nature had a way of protecting itself from predators, and we can take notes!   All you need to do to control pests is plant 3 different types of plants in and around your garden space:

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

A Map to Paradise by Susan Meissner Susanmeissnerauthor.com Amazon.com 1956, Malibu, California: Something is not right on Paradise Circle. With her name on the Hollywood blacklist and her life on hold, starlet Melanie Cole has little choice in company. There is her next-door neighbor, Elwood, but the screenwriter's agoraphobia allows for just short chats through open windows. He's her sole confidante, though, as she and her housekeeper, Eva, an immigrant from war-torn Europe, rarely make conversation. Then one early morning Melanie and Eva spot Elwood's sister-in-law and caretaker, June, digging in his beloved rose garden. After that they don't see Elwood at all anymore. Where could a man who never leaves the house possibly have gone? As they try to find out if something has happened to him, unexpected secrets are revealed among all three women, leading to an alliance that seems the only way for any of them to hold on to what they can still call their own. But it's a fragile pact and one little spark could send it all up in smoke…About the author Susan Meissner is the USA Today bestselling author of historical fiction with more than three-quarters of a million books in print in eighteen languages.

Story at-a-glance Marigolds are a rich source of lutein, tocopherols and phytosterols, which support eye health, immune function and cardiovascular wellness when incorporated into your diet The Superboy Orange and Durango Red varieties contain the highest concentrations of carotenoids, making them the best options for functional foods and dietary supplements Marigolds provide cholesterol-lowering phytosterols, particularly β-sitosterol, which reduces cholesterol absorption and supports heart health without the need for pharmaceutical interventions Some marigold cultivars contain antinutrients like tannins and alkaloids, but soaking, drying or fermenting the flowers significantly reduces these compounds and improves nutrient absorption To maximize their health benefits, consume marigolds with healthy fats such as ghee or grass-fed butter to enhance the bioavailability of lutein and other fat-soluble nutrients

Retired Ball technical services manager Dr. Will Healy joins host Bill Calkins to discuss the ins and outs of finished African marigold production as part of the Tech On Demand series covering crop culture for key annuals and perennials.   Will says African marigolds and French marigolds are like oranges and grapefruits when it comes to production protocols—meaning they're similar (like the two citrus fruits) but very different in many ways. He takes you from plug transplant to shipping, with a particular focus on iron toxicity related to phosphorous deficiencies, tips for minimizing stretch to avoid the need for too many PGRs, nutrition to keep them growing strong and how to avoid Botrytis in the flower heads. Will has worked with many growers dealing with leaf spots and his advice on phosphorous is based on hundreds of crops and decades of experience.   Will also spends plenty of time on fall production of African marigolds for Day of the Dead sales, which is certainly a growing market and newer sales opportunity for many of you.   WATCH THE VIDEO! https://youtu.be/nfA66OczRQM

Retired Ball technical services manager Dr. Will Healy joins host Bill Calkins to help growers finish French marigolds for quick turns as part of the Tech On Demand series covering crop culture for key annuals and perennials.   If elementary school kids can grow French marigolds in Dixie cups, they must not be too difficult … But finishing professional-quality crops requires attention to detail—especially pH, nutrition, moisture management and lighting. Will is here to explain all the nuances so you can avoid stretch and turn them quickly to maximize profits.   WATCH THE VIDEO! https://youtu.be/dePbEKylbYo

This podcast is produced by Calyn Whedbee and co-hosted by Calyn and Tricia Sikes. We dropped our first podcast in the summer of 2022. And, honestly, given the demographic we are working with, had absolutely no idea whether any of it would fly. And, honestly, still don't know.  To our amusement and surprise, however, our listenership is really growing! As is said in Spanish: “poco a poco.”     The primary focus of Turn Left is discovering what foreign nationals, who live and work here--full or part time--find so attractive about the area; why they moved here; and, what they think is deserving of more attention. However, we don't always stick to the script, so virtually side conversation is possible. We drop episodes as often as we can interview people and get them into post-production and uploaded.  Given that we are two old retired women, and, that this is … to use the cliché…a labor of love. AND, given that life in SF tends--especially in the winter months--tends to pull us in lots of different directions, we have chosen to not tie ourselves down to a specific time schedule. We“drop” episodes when time allows. If you join our group on Facebook or subscribe to our show on your favorite podcast host, you'll always be the first to be notified of the latest episodes. In addition to the interviews with locals from our community, Turn Left at the Cactus Podcast also hosts two unique “segments” : Forks in the Road—A closer look at organizations, businesses, events, happenings in and around San Felipe. Cactus Connection—A bi-weekly, quick review of what's on the San Felipe flow-chart for the next couple of weeks ahead.  [The views expressed by our guests may not always be shared by us.

Another one is that I have had my fair share of mistakes running businesses and making investments, and I feel very comfortable at this stage in my life to really be upfront about it.As the host of the Superpowers for Good show, I've had the privilege of meeting many changemakers who are dedicated to making a positive impact on the world. One such inspiring individual is Pooja Mehta, the founder of The Marigold Effect and Vice-President/Co-Owner of AMPM Enterprises. In our conversation, Pooja shared the profound influence of marigolds in her approach to business and philanthropy, offering a refreshing perspective on growth and community support.Pooja described The Marigold Effect as inspired by the flower's role in a garden, where it supports the flourishing of surrounding plants. "Marigolds, when they are planted in a garden, really help other vegetables flourish," she explained, highlighting her mission to help businesses thrive through a similar symbiotic relationship. This concept resonates deeply with me, as it encapsulates the essence of what we aim to explore on the show: the power of individual actions to foster collective prosperity.Under Pooja's guidance, The Marigold Effect has taken a novel approach to philanthropy and business support, emphasizing simplicity and accessibility in its microgrant program. By cutting through the red tape typically associated with grant applications, Pooja's initiative allows small businesses and nonprofits to focus on their core missions without being bogged down by onerous requirements. This approach not only aids the recipients directly but also sparks a broader conversation about the nature of support and investment in the entrepreneurial ecosystem.Pooja's insights into investment crowdfunding were particularly enlightening. She revealed how this approach democratizes access to capital, allowing community members to invest in local businesses they believe in. This model of mutual benefit and support is a cornerstone of The Marigold Effect, fostering a sense of ownership and connection among investors and entrepreneurs alike.Reflecting on our conversation, it's clear that Pooja Mehta's work with The Marigold Effect and AMPM Enterprises exemplifies the kind of innovative thinking and community-oriented action that can drive real change. Her approach to business and investment not only nurtures individual enterprises but also contributes to a healthier, more vibrant community ecosystem. As we continue to share stories of impact on Superpowers for Good, Pooja's vision serves as a powerful reminder of the potential within each of us to be agents of positive change.Pooja will be speaking at SuperCrowdBaltimore and SuperCrowd24.

Devin Thorpe, the show host, introduced his guest Pooja Mehta, the founder of Marigold Effect, which is named for marigolds' property of helping other plants thrive – an analogy for how her business helps other businesses flourish.2. Marigold Effect focuses on three main areas: business advising, legal consulting, and impact investing, with the goal of reducing gender and racial wealth gaps.3. Pooja discussed their micro-grant initiative, which aims to simplify the grant application process for non-profits, matching the level of effort with the size of the grant. It supports organizations working to close the wealth gap, particularly in the Washington DC area.4. Pooja emphasized the importance of understanding the different perspectives of a founder and an investor, highlighting the need for founders to evaluate the sources of capital and choose terms that align with their business growth.5. At SuperCrowdBaltimore, Pooja will be discussing strategies for businesses when considering raising capital, including the possibility of strengthening through reinvestment as opposed to external investment.6. Pooja appreciates investment crowdfunding for the accessibility it offers to investors and as an additional pool of capital for founders, noting its unique ability to nurture mutual benefits between investors and founders.7. For beginners in investment, Pooja recommends investing in things one understands, diversifying investments, and balancing expectations for potential return.8. On the legal side of raising capital, Pooja emphasizes the importance of education about the process and compliance with securities laws while highlighting Regulation CF for its structure facilitating public fundraising.9. Pooja cited her generalist approach and comfort with discussing past mistakes as her superpowers. She feels these attributes allow her to provide valuable insights and ask probing questions to help entrepreneurs strategize effectively.10. To learn more about Pooja's work or to connect with her, one can visit her website, MarigoldEffect.co, and attend SuperCrowdBaltimore or SuperCrowd24, where she is set to speak on topics relevant to entrepreneurs and investors.We invite you to share this episode with your community.How to Develop Empathetic Wisdom As a SuperpowerPooja Mehta's superpower is "Empathetic Wisdom." This combination of traits embodies her ability to understand others deeply and offer insightful, experience-based guidance.In our discussion, Pooja shared how her diverse experiences across different sectors and the lessons learned from her mistakes have equipped her with a unique perspective. She emphasized the value of embracing one's errors as learning opportunities and being transparent about them. This openness, coupled with her legal expertise and personal experiences, allows her to ask the right questions, helping entrepreneurs to strategize effectively and make informed decisions amidst the myriad choices they face daily.An anecdote that exemplifies Pooja's superpower involves resolving cultural conflicts among employees in her restaurant business. She approached the situation with empathy, understanding each person's perspective, and emphasized the shared vision despite personal differences. This story illustrates how her superpower of empathetic wisdom enables her to navigate complex interpersonal dynamics and foster a harmonious working environment.To develop a superpower like Pooja's, consider these tips:1. Be clear on your values: Understanding your core beliefs can guide your decisions and actions.2. Embrace openness and curiosity: Remain open to new experiences and actively seek to learn from others, even in unexpected situations.3. Learn from mistakes: View failures as opportunities for growth and be willing to share these experiences to help others.4. Practice empathy: Try to understand others' perspectives and backgrounds, especially in challenging situations.As the host of Superpowers for Good, I'm continually inspired by guests like Pooja, who not only possess remarkable abilities but also a willingness to use them for the greater good. Her story is a powerful reminder that the path to wisdom often involves embracing our vulnerabilities and remaining open to the lessons life teaches us.By following Pooja's example and advice, you can make empathetic wisdom a personal strength. With practice, it could become a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

We're releasing today's episode on Wednesday, November 1st, and this means you've probably just wrapped up your Halloween festivities. But as we turn our attention to harvest, home, and the November holidays, the seasonal decorations continue — and of course with that, orange-gold-and-rusty color palettes are ever present. With that our minds, today's episode shares […] The post Episode 634: Marigolds and Succulent Pumpkins, autumn botanical design with Caitlin Mathes of The Marigold Gardens and Eileen Tongson of FarmGal Flowers appeared first on Slow Flowers Podcast with Debra Prinzing.

#173: Marigolds – or cempasúchi as the Aztecs named them – have long been the flower of choice for Dia De Los Muertos celebrations. This time of year, you've probably seen these bright, orange flowers all around your local flower shops, farmers markets and grocery stores. But traditionally, they're used in the making of ofrendas, the alters set up to honor those who have died for the day of the day.   To learn more about the meaning behind these beautiful, symbolic flower, HTLA heads over to Boyle Heights to speak to the owner of LatinX With Plants.  Guest: Andi Xoch, artist and founder of LatinX With Plants

In this episode, farming couple Benny & Courtney Pino talk about the nuances of growing and marketing gomphrena and marigolds.  Make farming easier with the Paperpot Transplanter and Other Small Farm Equipment at https://www.paperpot.co/ Follow PaperpotCo on IG https://instagram.com/paperpotco Podcasts by Diego Footer: Microgreens: https://apple.co/2m1QXmW Vegetable Farming: https://apple.co/2lCuv3m Livestock Farming: https://apple.co/2m75EVG Large Scale Farming: https://apple.co/2kxj39i Small Farm Tools https://www.paperpot.co/

Today's episode is called Sunshine and Happiness. I'm going to invite you to bask in the warmth of cherished memories and explore the impact the sun has on my life. From the joy of childhood summers and blooming marigolds to the astrological connection of being a Leo, to me, the sun's rays represent happiness. We'll also discover the enduring influence of a beloved TV show, “Sunshine School,” and how it left an indelible mark on my heart. We'll also talk about a unique contrast as I share a little about Ben, who prefers the clouds over the brilliant, beaming sun. Stay tuned to help me celebrate the joy of the sun and how it brings mindful happiness.

And besides, my birthday is right in the middle of the summer, so how awesome is that? I love the sunny, bright, gold flowers, like marigolds, Blacked-Eyed Susans, Sunflowers, and even a sunny field of Dandelions. This year I grew Daffodils and Black-Eyed Susans. Next year I think I'll add Sunflowers and Marigolds. From Seed You Say? I remember one time, after moving to my first house, I ordered Marigold seeds from the Seed Catalogue company, Stoke's Seeds. I started the seeds in the basement under lights and then planted them at the front of our house. Enormous marigolds emerged, and people walking by would often stop and ask where I got these amazing, huge, brilliant marigolds. They were so surprised when I told them I had grown them from seed. Make Life Fun I love walking early on a sunny day because I enjoy the shadows created by the brilliant sunshine. Those long, exaggerated shadows of my profile, really make my day. I know it sounds kind of childish, but why not appreciate the childish things that make life fun? Self-Expression I think one of the reasons I like the sun so much is because I'm a sun sign. I'm Leo the Lion because I was born at the end of July. Leo is the fifth sign of the astrological year, and is the only zodiac sign ruled by the sun itself. It happens to be a fire sign. Leo's modality is fixed, and the sign is represented by the Lion. This sign rules over the fifth house of creativity and self-expression. First Studio Experience When I was a young child, I liked to watch a TV show called Sunshine School. It was a local show produced here in our area of Canada, and I loved the host, Ms. Dorothy. When I was about 5 or 6 years old, my parents gave me a songbook from the show and then later took me to the studio to meet Ms. Dorothy. It was so exciting, and I think the central theme of Sunshine has stuck with me through the years. It was uplifting and inspiring to watch that show, and I remember it with great fondness. Your Mindfulness Journey The sun is a testament to the beauty in life's simplicity, from the radiant blooms in the garden to the enduring memories of childhood. We've shared in the warmth of the sun, both in the literal and figurative sense, and marveled at how it shapes our experiences and perceptions. So whether you revel in its brilliance like a Leo or find comfort in the clouds like Ben, may the sunshine and happiness be ever-present in your mindfulness journey.
