Andrew Jones didn't set out to make wine. Instead, he spent decades planting vines for other people — some of the biggest names in California (e.g., Beckstoffer). But along the way, Andrew started stockpiling stories — and grapes — and what began as a side project turned into Field Recordings, a brand known for bending rules and bottling attitude.The brand has since been featured in Wine Enthusiast, on Vinepair, and in the New York Times, growing into one of the most talked-about labels in the country. In this episode, Andrew talks with Eli Brown and Jonathan Ellsworth about nursery hustle, breaking the rules, and why wine should be fun, not fussy. We also talk about boxed wine, baseball card philosophy, and Andrew fires off some of the sharpest wine one-liners we've ever heard.RELATED LINKS:Blister Craft CollectiveBecome a BLISTER+ MemberField Recordings WineryField Recordings InstagramTOPICS & TIMES:Intro to California Winemaking (2:26)From Football to Farming (4:44)Transition from Nursery to Winemaking (6:22)The Birth of Field Recordings (12:50)Terroir & Storytelling (14:12)Nurseries & Vines (22:21)Economics of Wine Pricing (26:07)Field Recordings: Quality & Accessibility (27:24)Finding Unique Properties for Winemaking (29:44)Making Wine Enjoyable for Everyone (42:12)Understanding Wine Pricing (47:31)Navigating the Wine Aisle: Tips for Beginners (48:11)Quality Control, Ingredients, & Additives (51:45)The Natural Wine Movement (58:27)Future Trends?

One of the greenhouse pests growers have been dealing with more and more recently is broad mite. This specific mite pest is extremely challenging to diagnose and treat and can wreak havoc on a very wide range of crops across multiple seasons. Host Bill Calkins is joined by well-respected professor and extension specialist in horticultural entomology at Kansas State University, Dr. Raymond Cloyd, to discuss this pest—from susceptible crops and theories why broad mites are on the rise to symptoms and identification. Dr. Cloyd then shared a bit about the pest itself and strategies to minimize the risk of losing crops due to broad mites and methods for control. Once broad mites were covered, Bill asked Dr. Cloyd about Lewis mites (based on challenges with this pest on poinsettia crops in 2024), and the episode closed with the importance of sanitation, diligent scouting and IPM protocols during spring production. You'll want to listen all the way to the end of this episode and share it with your entire production staff.   RESOURCES: Broad Mite and Cyclamen Mite Management in Greenhouses and Nurseries:  https://bookstore.ksre.ksu.edu/pubs/MF2938.pdf Dr. Raymond Cloyd Contact Information: https://entomology.k-state.edu/about/people/faculty/Cloyd-Raymond-A.html Extension & Research Program (Publications, Articles, Reports, Etc.): https://entomology.k-state.edu/about/people/extension/Cloyd-Ext-Research/    A bit about Dr. Raymond Cloyd: Raymond has an extension (70%) and research (30%) appointment in the Department of Entomology at Kansas State University (Manhattan, KS).

Join us for an enlightening conversation with Dr. Kirk Pomper, the driving force behind Kentucky State University's pioneering Paw Paw Research Program. As the world's only full-time initiative dedicated to this remarkable fruit, Dr. Pomper brings a wealth of knowledge and passion, tracing his journey from exploring various food crops to championing pawpaws, thanks to the visionary Brett Calloway. We navigate the potential of pawpaw as a transformative alternative crop for small farmers in Kentucky, while also tackling the unique challenges of making this fruit a staple in homes across America. Dr. Pomper takes us on a journey through the complexities of pawpaw processing, from the intricacies of pulp extraction to innovative storage solutions. As we compare the pawpaw to its fruity cousin, the persimmon, we unravel the market challenges both face and the exciting possibilities for value-added products like pawpaw smoothies and jams. We learn about efforts to extend the fruit's shelf life through controlled atmosphere storage, ensuring pawpaws reach new markets far and wide. Our discussion culminates in the fascinating world of pawpaw pollination and cultivar research. Dr. Pomper sheds light on the intricate pollination strategies of pawpaw trees, emphasizing the critical role of cross-pollination and the importance of planting diverse varieties. We also highlight Kentucky State University's endeavors to promote pawpaw awareness, including the upcoming Fifth International Pawpaw Conference and annual Pawpaw Day celebrations. This episode offers a captivating glimpse into the efforts to bring the pawpaw from obscurity to the forefront of the fruit world.

In this episode of Restoration Roundup, we speak with Annalise Carington, Conservation Specialist at the Intervale Center and U.S. Fish & Wildlife, and Lynda Prim, who is the manager of the Intervale Conservation Nursery. We discuss the shortage of native trees and shrubs for restoration work in Vermont. Recent work by American Forests described this challenge at the national level. They found that nursery production needs to more than double, from 1.3 billion seedlings per year to more than 3 billion per year, in order to meet even half of the reforestation potential in the lower 48 United States by 2040. Surveys of nursery growers and seedling buyers conducted by Annalise and me this year suggested that the problem is similar in Vermont; about half of the seedlings we use for restoration plantings are purchased by our nurseries from out-of-state for resale. Although price points for out-of-state trees from large industrial nurseries are usually lower, locally-sourced and propagated trees are more likely to be adapted to the specific growing conditions in Vermont, and less likely to risk carrying pests or pathogens from other parts of the country. Furthermore, developing and maintaining a native tree growing workforce in Vermont would allow us to invest in our own community as we purchase trees for restoration projects.The seven operating nurseries in Vermont are currently operating at or near capacity. All of them would like to expand if they had the resources to do so, but there are many challenges to ramping up production. Nurseries cite difficulty predicting the highly variable market from year to year, sourcing highly specialized equipment and developing needed infrastructure, labor shortages, and more. There is also a group of individuals in Vermont who have expressed interest in opening new nurseries, but who need space, funding, and/or a better understanding of nursery operating procedures before they can get started.

Watching documentaries about the Titanic inspired deep-sea microbiologist Beth Orcutt to study life at the bottom of the ocean - a world of ‘towering chimneys, weird shrimp and octopus nurseries' that she has visited 35 times.But Orcutt says there is so much we still don't know about the deep sea, which is a problem for the sustainable development of this environment. Orcutt works at Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences in Boothbay, Maine, where her research helps to understand how deep-sea mining might impact unique ocean communities.Research on similarly destructive activities, such as deep-sea trawling, show decades-long recovery times for keystone species such as corals and sponges, or in some cases no recovery at all.Orcutt works through the Crustal Ocean Biosphere Research Accelerator (COBRA) project funded by the US National Science Foundation to bring academics, policymakers and science communicators together to accelerate research about the deep sea and translate that knowledge for decision makers.This is episode 14 of How to Save Humanity in 17 Goals, a Working Scientist series podcast that profiles scientists whose work addresses one or more of the SDGs. Orcutt's work addresses Sustainable Development Goal number 14: to conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine sources.Episodes 13–18 are produced in partnership with Nature Sustainability, and introduced by Monica Contestabile, its chief editor.This episode ends with a sponsored slot from La Trobe Institute for Sustainable Agriculture and Food in Melbourne, Australia, where we hear about how its researchers are focusing on the SDGs and the university's holistic approach to food security.

According to a gardening manual from Jefferson's time, April is the month to graft fruit trees. So in this episode, we cut into the practice of grafting and explain it's critical to the fruit you eat every day. We also look at Jefferson's favorite nurseries along with the historic and modern nurseries at Monticello, and highlight the upcoming Center for Historic Plants Open Houses in April and May. Oh, there's pomegranates, too. Featuring Peggy Cornett, Curator of Plants; Michael Tricomi, Manager and Curator of Historic Gardens; Debbie Donley, Flower Gardener; and Robert Dowell, Senior Nursery Associate at the Thomas Jefferson Center Historic Plants.

In 1987, when district nurse, Ruth Appleby, was looking to place her children into childcare, she saw an opportunity in her local area. 36 years later, her business operates 16 nurseries, each with a good or outstanding rating from Ofsted. As well as working with a number of family members, she maintains a very loyal workforce and even employs staff who were toddlers at the first site she opened. So, how has she achieved this business growth whilst balancing standards with fees, and maintaining loyalty and trust from both staff and clients alike? Tune in to learn about the ‘Ripley way'.

Prepare to illuminate the shadowy frontiers of space in SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 47. We begin by shedding light on new findings that reveal brown dwarfs, those celestial enigmas straddling the line between the largest planets and the smallest stars, are far more star-like than we ever imagined. Born from the same intricate dance of gas and dust that gives rise to stars, these failed stars have a story more intertwined with their luminous kin than previously thought. Next, we peer into the future, where the clock is ticking down to an explosive cosmic event. Astronomers eagerly anticipate a nova eruption within a binary star system, set to dazzle the skies sometime before year's end. This stellar spectacle, a cyclical detonation on the surface of a white dwarf, promises to be a beacon in the night, echoing observations that date back over a century.We then voyage to the extreme starburst galaxy M82, a crucible of creation churning out new stars at a rate tenfold that of our own Milky Way. With the James Webb Space Telescope piercing through the cosmic dust, we get a front-row seat to the galactic winds and star-forming frenzy defining this compact powerhouse of a galaxy.And in the Science Report, we delve into the role of homosexual behavior in mammalian social bonding, the alarming rise in simultaneous heatwaves and sea level extremes on global coastlines, the potential psychological effects of teenage screen time, and the latest in home entertainment and security tech that's shaping our digital lives.For the full cosmic journey, visit our website at https://spacetimewithstuartgary.com and support the show at https://www.spreaker.com/show/spacetime.

This week Alan and Thordis are excited to bring you a joyful special focussing on Hepaticas with their chief cheerleader, John Massey of Ashwood Nurseries. His book, 'My World of Hepaticas' (with Tomoo Mabuchi), is a veritable treasure trove of information (and downright divine photographs!) In this episode of Talking Dirty, we meander through the different species (including which should tolerate a garden situation) and discuss everything from botany to John's anecdotes from years tracking them down in the wild. And of course, we detour via several other plants as well. It wouldn't be Talking Dirty if we didn't do that!PLANT LISTGalanthus 'Veronica Cross'Galanthus 'Wasp'Hepatica japonica var. nipponica f. candidaHepatica transsilvanicaHepatica japonica var. nipponica f. magnaHepatica japonica var. pubescensHepatica japonica var. nipponica f. magnaHepatica americanaHepatica americana var. acuta (syn H. acutiloba)Hepatica americana var. acuta x H. nobilisTrillium nivaleDaphne laureola subsp. philippi Hamamelis Cyclamen coumMiscanthusPennisetum Lewisia cotyledon 'Harold Judd'Hepatica 'Millstream Merlin'Helleborus (Rodney Davey Marbled Group) 'Anna's Red'Helleborus × ericsmithiiHepatica maximaSorbus 'Olympic Flame'Hepatica insularisHydrangea serrataHepatica x schlyteri (H. nobilis 'Stained Glass' x H. maxima) Macodes petolaHepatica nobilis 'Stained Glass'Hepatica 'Louise Koehler'Anemonella thalictroides f. rosea 'Oscar Schoaf'Hepatica japonica 'Mori'ShortiaHepatica 'Millstream Pink' Prunus 'Kursar'Polypodium

Chaque année, le 1er mars, c'est l'anniversaire de mon papa, Jean, que j'embrasse;) Mais le 1er mars est aussi dédié aux herbiers marins, dont notre posidonie méditerranéenne, l'occasion de rediffuser la série enregistrée avec Laurent Ballesta sur cette extraordinaire plante à fleur et à fruit qui pousse dans la mer !Laurent Ballesta est plongeur (aquanaute) de l'extrême. Ce naturaliste, photographe et explorateur est bien connu des auditeurices de BSG. Nous avions réalisé une série avec lui sur sa redécouverte du Cœlacanthe (un poisson qu'on croyait fossile) et du mystère Mérou : https://bit.ly/ballesta1_BSGhttps://bit.ly/ballesta2_BSGhttps://bit.ly/ballesta3_BSGhttps://bit.ly/ballesta4_BSGhttps://bit.ly/ballesta5_BSG _______Seul on va plus vite. Ensemble on va plus loin.______Laurent Ballesta n'aurait pas pu réaliser ses exploits sans son équipe, au sein d'Andromède océanologie. Il l'a fondée en 2008 avec Pierre Descamp. Un 3e associé, Florian Holon, les a rejoint. Bien connue pour avoir organisé les explorations baptisées “Gombessa”, Andromède est un aussi un labo et un bureau d'étude.Le projet le plus remarquable et structurant d'Andromède est la sauvegarde des herbiers de Posidonies, une plante à fleur et à fruit, qui ne pousse qu'en Méditerranée. Cette fascinante plante verte est retournée vivre sous l'eau alors que ses ancêtres en étaient sortis des millions d'années auparavant !!! Les posidonies, qui poussent très lentement, sont des nurseries et un bienfait pour tout le Vivant autour elles. Mais ces reines oubliées souffrent beaucoup des ancrages des bateaux.Pour y remédier, Andromède a développé une appli gratuite pour tous les plaisanciers et navigateurs RESPONSABLES qui s'impliquent dans le respect du Vivant._______ L'appli DONIA est un “Waze de la mer”. Gratuite, permet aux plaisanciers, plongeurs, pêcheurs et à tous les amoureux de la mer, d'échanger des informations tout en contribuant à protéger les écosystèmes marins sensibles.Elle permet de connaître la nature des fonds (et ainsi de ne pas jeter l'ancre au beau milieu d'un herbier de posidonies. En plus, DONIA offre de nombreuses autres infos utiles aux gens de la mer : météo, profondeur, outils de navigation, cartes marines, sites de plongée, ports, mouillages, échanges d'infos d'utilisateurs, photographies sous-marines … DONIA renforce la solidarité des marins en partageant des infos sur les dangers en mer (obstacles, accidents, méduses, alerte SOS …).DONIA contient des outils de navigation (flèche de prédiction, waypoints et outils de mesure, tracés de navigation) et de sécurité en mer (pack alarmes dérapage, emmêlage et collision). DONIA intègre les données AIS (Automatic Identification System) des navires provenant du réseau AISHUb. Le module DONIA Mooring permet en outre de réserver des bouées et des coffres d'amarrage._______On aime ce qui nous a émerveillé … et on protège ce qu'on aime.______Découvrir tout l'univers Baleine sous Gravillon, et Mécaniques du Vivant sur France Culture :https://baleinesousgravillon.com/liens-2 Soutenir notre travail, bénévole et sans pub :https://bit.ly/helloasso_donsUR_BSG______Nous réalisons des émissions audio et vidéo pour et avec vous.Nous vous accompagnons pour créer votre podcast. Nous proposons des conférences et animons des tables rondes.Nous cherchons des partenaires : contact@baleinesousgravillon.com _______ Photo : ©Laurent Ballesta

Can you feel it? Those little changes in the air. The days are a little longer. It is still chilly but it isn't bitter anymore. The snow is melting. The mud is taking over. It is time to start thinking about the new growing season. Today we discussed how we handle the very start of our summer gardens. Starting your seeds is a great way to make sure you get what you want.Too often, nurseries have the most common options. But, if you want something out of the ordinary, you can't find it available locally. By starting your own seeds, you can make sure you're getting things a little off the beaten path. We talked a bit about picking out the right seeds for your growing region.Another benefit of starting your own seeds is you will save money! Nurseries have to charge a little more to offset their costs in growing the plants. By starting your own, you can cut out the middle man and save a lot of money.The biggest benefit, in my opinion, is getting to spend winter months playing in the dirt. There is nothing better than getting your hands dirty when it is snowing and blowing outside.Have you heard our episode on growing indoor plants? This is another great way to get your hands dirty during the cold winter months. Listen to that HERETranscriptMusic is by Oliver Massa. It is called Weekend Chores

Hello and welcome back to the Feng Shui Flow podcast. What a week we had. If you came along to my workshop, just thank you so much. I cannot tell you how incredible it was to have all of us in one space just being open to this idea that there's things that we can do in our home to help us.Today's topic is all about children's bedrooms and nurseries. I've spoken about children's bedrooms before, but I was doing the Q&A this week and somebody said, please, can you talk about children's nurseries now? It took me back to when Amy was little and quite frankly, I would have tried anything, absolutely anything to help her sleep better. I hope these tips help!So much love, Kimberley xxWork with me 1 to 1 here!If you loved this episode don't forget to subscribe and leave a 5* review on Apple Podcasts! xx

From July 23, 2007. We've discussed star formation in the past, but now we wanted to talk about the different kinds of stellar nurseries we see across the Universe. We know where our Sun came from because we can look out and see different stellar neighborhoods at every stage of development. It takes a village of gas and dust to raise a star.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

In this fascinating episode,  I chat to Charles Carr, who is the Head of Wholesale Nurseries at Hillier Nurseries Limited.  Charles took me on a tour of the site and it's just incredible to see this massive operation, and the technology thats in use, the skills of the staff all around the site and most importantly, the quality of the plants that are produced. I chat to Charles about his role and, as with so many conversations I've had in this series, we talk about the impact of climate change and going peat free and how the industry is responding to these very real challenges. Hilliers Nurseries are pretty much peat free, and they have some fascinating technology to help them learn about this new growing medium. And for all of us, whatever the size of our garden, we too will need to learn about how to grow our plants in a peat, free medium. As you might expect, we cover a lot of ground within this discussion, including pests and diseases, what happens during the winter months, the importance of learning and development for staff, new plant development, and Charles own plant passions and of course lots more. Thank you all for listening to this series of the Mike The Gardener – Gardening Podcast and I will be back in the New Year with one more episode for this series, before picking up again in spring with Series 7. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy, 2024. Mike

In this episode, we're joined by Buzz Ferver from A Perfect Circle Farms to talk about tree crops, grafting, tree nurseries, acorns, hecans, and much more. What does it look like to build a tree nursery, what should you be considering in that process, and why is it so important to find a niche around which types of trees you're looking to work with? Buzz has worked for 30 years as a consultant to farming operations on every scale, designing and developing on-farm composting as appropriate technology. Buzz has been managing a nursery for tree crops for a decade, and has developed a unique collection of improved native crops as well as some non-native species.   In our interview, he mentions a hard-to-find book around tree selections, check out the link below for a free copy: https://www.songonline.ca/songnews/nutgrowing.html Check out Buzz's nursery at perfectcircle.farm   To support this podcast, join our patreon for early episode access at https://www.patreon.com/poorprolesalmanac  For PPA Writing Content, visit: www.agroecologies.org For PPA Restoration Content, visit: www.restorationagroecology.com For PPA Merch, visit: www.poorproles.com For PPA Native Plants, visit: www.nativenurseries.org To hear Tomorrow, Today, our sister podcast, visit: www.tomorrowtodaypodcast.org/  

Saint Lawrence Nurseries is a specialized tree nursery in New York state, renowned for its expertise in cold-hardy fruit and nut trees with a committment to sustainable and organic practices. The nursery, which was originally founded in the 1920s by Fred L. Ashworth of Heuvelton, NY, was initially more of a hobby and experimental station for Ashworth. Bill MacKentley met Fred in 1971 and they developed a strong, almost familial relationship. After Fred's death in 1977, Bill and his wife Diana purchased the land in Potsdam, NY, where Fred had done much of his grafting and breeding. In 1981, they produced the first official St. Lawrence Nurseries catalog. For 34 years, the MacKentleys cultivated Saint Lawrence Nurseries into a unique and well-loved business, carrying on Fred Ashworth's passion for growing and propagating fruits and nuts suitable for northern climates. The MacKentley, were planning their retirement and phasing out their business around 2015. Connor Hardiman who began working at Saint Lawrence Nurseries years earlier stepped in to take over rather than allowing the nursery to close. He and his wife Alyssa are the new stewards of Saint Lawrence Nurseries and are helping to herald in a new era for the Nurseries. Do note that many refer to Saint Lawrence Nurseries as SLN. The Ups and Downs of Climate and Test Winters Citing from a Cornell University study for 1981, that stated the the the previous 40 years had been the best years of agriculture (good weather patterns) in the world. Of particular note is that moving forward from 81 onward, one can now expect that the climate was returning to normal. Note that this was serval years before climate change was being discussed to the degree that it is today. Says Bill, “We have got to get our act together [in regards to climate change]. Who is Fred L. Ashworth Born in 1898, Ashworth studied the trees that survived the 1938 kill off of apples and studied them very closely. He began the nursery in the 1920s. He also worked with nut trees, potatoes and inspired Bill's career at Saint Lawrence Nurseries.
