Welcome to this week's episode of the Veg Grower Podcast. This week we're taking a look at what's happening both down on the allotment and in the kitchen garden, with plenty of harvesting, a few pest problems and some thoughts on storing our home-grown potatoes. Allotment We start the episode down on the allotment on a beautifully cool morning after another spell of very warm weather. There's plenty to talk about, including some damage to one of my sweetcorn cobs. Something has managed to pull the cob down and has been helping itself to the corn, so I'm trying to work out what might have caused the damage and what I can do to protect the remaining crop. I'm also finding cabbage white butterfly eggs on my brassicas again. After dealing with a previous wave of caterpillars, it looks like we have another lot of eggs to contend with. Luckily, I spotted them early and have been removing them before they have a chance to hatch. Despite the problems, there are some good harvests coming from the allotment, with courgettes and runner beans doing particularly well. Kitchen Garden Back in the kitchen garden, the tomatoes are continuing to produce, although the heat is having an effect. The tomatoes in the greenhouse at home aren't producing particularly well, while the greenhouse tomatoes down on the allotment and the outdoor plants are doing much better. I'm also noticing tougher skins on some of the tomatoes, which I suspect is down to the lack of moisture. I'm keeping a close eye on the apples and pears too, with the pears looking very close to being ready and the apples not far behind. I've also been making use of our local community orchard and picking some apples, which is a great way of making the most of what is available locally. Recipe of the Week This week's recipe of the week takes our home-grown produce and turns it into another tasty meal. [Recipe details to be added from the remainder of the transcript.] From the Podding Shed And finally, we head into the Podding Shed, where this week we're talking about potatoes. I've been harvesting more of my potatoes and looking at how we can store some of that home-grown harvest so we can keep enjoying our potatoes rather than having to use them all at once. It's all about making that harvest go a little bit further and getting the most from the food we've grown ourselves.

A Cal Poly Humboldt study found barn owls can reduce rodent populations in Napa Valley vineyards while changing how the remaining pests behave.

Well, howdy neighbors! Fred Talley here again with Faith Pest Control, comin’ to you from right here in Jasper, Georgia. Now, we've talked about the warning signs to look out for, and we've gone over your backyard checklist. But today, I want to talk about how these little buggers are actually breaching your perimeter. Think of your home like a fortress. Pests are the invading army, and believe me, they are excellent scouts. They will spend 24 hours a day looking for a weak spot, a crack, or a gap to sneak past your defenses. Up here in the North Georgia hills, our houses settle, our wood expands and contracts with the mountain humidity, and before you know it, you’ve inadvertently rolled out the red carpet for mice, ants, and spiders. If you want to stop them, you have to know exactly where they’re breaking in. Here are the most common entry points I see everyday when I'm out inspecting homes in Pickens County. 1. The Gaps Under Your Exterior Doors (The Front Door Entry) Let's start with the most obvious one, though it gets overlooked all the time. Walk over to your front door, your back door, or that side door in the garage. Look down at the very bottom. Do you see a sliver of daylight peeking through between the door and the threshold? If you can see daylight, you might as well leave the door wide open. A field mouse can squeeze through a gap no bigger than a dime, and a cockroach or a spider needs only the thickness of a business card. If your door sweeps are worn out, brittle, or torn from years of use, that's entry point number one. 2. Utility Lines and Pipe Penetrations (The Hidden Highways) Take a walk outside and look at the side of your house where your outdoor HVAC unit sits. See those copper refrigerant lines and electrical wires that go through the siding and head straight into your basement, crawlspace, or walls? When builders install those lines, they often drill a hole that's way bigger than the pipe itself. If that gap wasn’t sealed correctly with heavy-duty caulking or expanding foam—or if that old sealant has cracked and fallen out over time—it becomes a superhighway for mice, rats, and ants straight into your home’s interior skeleton. 3. Rooflines, Fascia Boards, and Eaves (The Attic Assault) Up here in the mountains, we get plenty of gray squirrels, flying squirrels, raccoons, and bats. They aren’t looking at your foundation; they're looking at your roof. Water often gets trapped behind our gutters, which rots out the wood on the fascia boards (that’s the long board running right behind your gutter). Squirrels and rats can smell that soft, rotted wood. They will chew a tiny hole into a giant entrance within a matter of days. Once they’re past the fascia, they are living large in your insulation, chewing on your wiring, and making a mess right above your head. 4. Crawlspace Vents and Foundation Cracks (The Underbelly) A huge number of homes in Jasper are built on crawlspaces. To keep moisture down, those crawlspaces have vents built into the block walls. Over time, the cheap wire mesh on those vents rusts out or gets torn open by a determined opossum or stray cat. Once they tear that screen open, your crawlspace becomes a wildlife hotel. From there, bugs and rodents follow the plumbing pipes right up through the floorboards into your kitchen and bathrooms. 5. Firewood Stacks and Attached Garages (The Trojan Horse) I love a good, roaring fire on a chilly mountain evening just as much as anyone. But if you stack your firewood right up against the side of your house or inside your garage, you are literally carrying the enemy across your own borders. Woodpiles are prime real estate for carpenter ants, termites, mice, and black widow spiders. When you stack that wood against your siding, they just crawl sideways right into the nearest weep hole or siding gap. Fred’s Field Note: Knowing where they get in is half the battle. The other half is having the right tools, the right materials, and the patience to seal them out for good. That’s what we call “pest exclusion,” and it’s one of the best investments you can make for your piece of mind. Listen, neighbors… I want to be YOUR BUG MAN! You don’t have to tackle this alone. My team and I know exactly what to look for because we do it every single day. If you think your home’s defenses have been breached, give me a call or a text at 770-823-9202. I'll send one of our expert technicians out to give your home a FREE Complete Termite and Pest Inspection and Entry-Point Audit. We'll point out exactly where the critters are getting in and tell you exactly how to fix it. And remember my ironclad promise: if you aren’t completely happy with our service within 30 days, we’ll keep working for free, or give you your money back plus $25 for your trouble. (Don’t forget to tell us you read this article so I can give you $25.00 OFF your first service!) Keep those perimeter walls locked tight, Jasper!The post The Most Common Entry Points Pests Use to Get Inside first appeared on Faith Pest Control.

Mao's War on Sparrows and Australia's Emu Conflict Guest: Stephen Moss Book Title: Ten Birds That Changed the World In 1958, Mao Zedong ordered the eradication of the tree sparrow as part of his "Four Pests" campaign, believing it would save grain. The mass slaughter — carried out by citizens banging pots until birds dropped dead from exhaustion — caused an ecological disaster. Without sparrows to eat them, insect populations exploded and consumed the harvests, leading to a famine that killed up to 50 million people. Scientists like Tso-hsin Cheng who tried to warn Mao were persecuted, and China was eventually forced to import sparrows from the Soviet Union to restore the ecosystem. In a lighter but equally revealing tale, Moss recounts Australia's 1932 Emu War, where the military failed to cull 20,000 emus with machine guns. The emus used tactical "guerrilla" maneuvers to outwit the soldiers, proving that human attempts to militarily intervene in nature often end in humiliation or catastrophe. (7)1914 EMPEROR PENGUIN

Send us Fan MailYour garden can look amazing while your life quietly runs on empty, and that's exactly why we wanted to hit pause and talk about “fruit that lasts.” I'm Noah Sanders, and this is a catch-up from our family, our farm, and the work God keeps pressing on my heart: stop chasing what looks impressive and rebuild life from the roots up. If you care about Christian homesteading, faith-based farming, and land stewardship that actually holds together over time, this one is a needed reset.In this episode I share highlights from the Homestead Conference in Texas, including what I taught on thermal composting and why gardening in the Deep South feels like relearning everything. Pests, heat, red-clay soil, and year-round growth change the game for Alabama and the southeastern United States, and that's part of why I'm working on a new book with my friend David the Good, focused on dependable Deep South survival gardening. I also give an update on the Well-Watered Garden Project, a simple 20 foot by 20 foot training garden built on Foundations for Farming principles, designed to help Christians grow food while practicing humility, unselfishness, and faithfulness.Then we go deeper. John 15 doesn't leave room for fake fruit: Jesus is the vine, we're the branches, and real growth comes from abiding in Christ. We talk about pruning, limits, and why the smallest daily moments often reveal the truest state of our discipleship. If you feel stretched thin, this will help you rethink what obedience looks like right now.Subscribe for more, share this with a friend who's carrying too much, and leave a review so more homesteaders can find the show.

It's time for another Listener Mail episode, and as always, the High on Home Grown community brings the questions that get us thinking! This week we discuss the relationship between compost and pest management, and whether using homemade compost indoors carries the same risks as bringing pests in from the garden. We also dive into outdoor growing, covering the common pests, diseases, and warning signs growers should be keeping an eye out for throughout the season, from powdery mildew and honeydew to insects and environmental issues. We answer questions about reusing Grove-style curing bags, how long they last, and whether they need cleaning between harvests. The conversation then turns to travel, favourite holiday destinations, cannabis tourism, social clubs, and why consumption lounges haven't become more widespread in parts of the United States. Finally, we discuss what makes certain cannabis strains command such high prices, looking at genetics, rarity, breeding work, marketing, hype, and whether some strains are genuinely worth the premium. As always, it's a laid-back mix of growing advice, cannabis culture, travel chat, and community questions, with plenty of laughs along the way.

While we're still relatively early in this year's growing season, Dr. Emily Bick tells us we've already seen the first wave of pests.

While creepy crawlies aren't everyone's cup of tea, rodents are much less appealing and on Australia's remote Lord Howe Island, a pest eradication programme has got rid of the rats and mice. In their place, insects and lizards are flourishing - and it's all based on role-modelling from New Zealand. Maxim Adams is lead researcher at the University of Sydney. He speaks to Susie about how they did it.

In this Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan sounds the alarm on a wave of biological, political, and security threats hitting the US and the world simultaneously, from flesh-eating screwworms confirmed in Texas to a jihad-sympathizing doctor now headed to Congress. The screwworm confirmation in LaPryor, TX is the opening shot of what Bryan says will be a serious blow to America's beef supply, compounded by historic drought across the West and Midwest that is forcing ranchers to sell off their best herds. On the national security front, Bryan breaks down the newly elected New Jersey Democrat with documented ties to the Blind Sheikh and an al-Qaeda front operation in Bosnia, and explains why he believes the Democratic Party's embrace of this candidate represents something far more dangerous than politics as usual. Plus, Bryan covers the Iran-Hezbollah ceasefire unraveling in real time, a mysterious group of men working through New York City's sewer system in the middle of the night, a superseding DOJ indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center revealing decades of manufactured hate, and a major geopolitical win in the Pacific as the Solomon Islands moves to sever its ties with China.

In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan reveals that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has reportedly offered his resignation, admitting the IRGC, not the civilian government, is now firmly in control of Iran and its stalled peace talks with President Trump. Bryan tracks satellite images showing Iran using the ceasefire to dig out buried missiles and drones, a US Hellfire strike on a cargo ship running the naval blockade, and warnings from Chevron, Exxon, and Aramco that global oil supplies could hit a panic-buying breaking point in just two to three weeks, with prices potentially spiking past $150 a barrel. He also covers Israel's deepest push into Lebanon in 25 years and the capture of the Crusades-era Beaufort Castle, then makes the case that Trump's best play now is a bare-bones Iran deal so he can pivot to the bigger threat at home: an Islamo-Marxist Democrat movement organizing violent ICE protests with funding from Roy Singham and George Soros. Plus, Bryan unpacks the concept of Taqiyya and what it means for vetting figures like Zohran Mamdani, a screwworm case creeping toward Texas cattle country, a promising new blood test that distinguishes four forms of dementia with 92% accuracy, and surprising research on how multiple AI chatbots can fact-check each other to deliver better medical answers.

The Apple Pest Cooperator Network is a group of apple orchards throughout the state of Wisconsin that monitor insect populations through pheromone traps. Growers who participate in the program record the number of pests found in their trap and send those details to DATCP. From there, folks like entomologist Krista Hamilton record the numbers and publish the counts to their website and Field Notes newsletter. In turn, the numbers collected by the Apple Pest Cooperator Network provides a valuable tool for orchards across the state of Wisconsin. Krista sat down and explained to me exactly how the network works. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
