Podcasts about Phytophthora

He discusses the early detection of tar spot in Porter County, its implications for disease pressure across the state, and smart, cost-effective management approaches.Ben also covers the rise in soybean seedling diseases like Phytophthora, what farmers can expect as seed treatments wear off, and the importance of genetic resistance and field tolerance.Finally, he tackles the critical question: how much yield have we lost already? Spoiler alert—there's still time to turn things around. Listen in for field-tested tips on nutrient management, side-dressing strategies (including sulfur), and how to make the most of your next 90 days.

On today's episode, UCCE's Jaime Ott discusses surprising findings about Phytophthora presence in irrigation systems, emphasizing that smart irrigation management is key to orchard protection. Supporting the People who Support AgricultureThank you to this month's sponsors who makes it possible to get you your daily news.

In this episode of the Ohio Ag Net Podcast, Dusty Sonnenberg talks with Dr. Horacio Lopez-Nicora, OSU Extension Soybean Pathologist and Nematologist, to discuss timely scouting tips for soybean seedling diseases. The conversation covers how to properly submit samples, the effectiveness and limits of seed treatments, and a practical approach to managing persistent pathogens like Phytophthora and Fusarium. Dr. Lopez-Nicora also dives into current insights on soybean cyst nematode (SCN), highlighting a free testing opportunity for Ohio growers and how rotating resistance sources is key to keeping SCN populations in check. Then, Joel Penhorwood is joined by OSU Plant Pathologist Dr. Pierce Paul to unpack headlines surrounding a court case involving an attempted smuggling of Fusarium graminearum into the U.S. – a pathogen that's no stranger to Ohio. They explore how this year's weather could be impacting its presence, how drone-applied fungicides are changing the game, and why now is a crucial time for farmers to stay on top of field monitoring.

A week ago I noticed one of those beautiful red toadstools in our garden – the classic red fungus with white dots all over the skin. Amanita muscaria or Fly agaric – there are a few different sub-species with different colourations (orange-red to yellow, and various colours of the “dots”). This is a Mycorrhizal fungus that is associated with a few common host trees: Birch, beech and pine trees. It's not very edible – in fact, it's better not to muck around with. Some young children have ended up being poisoned and some rather risky adults (trying to go on a Hallucinogenic journey) ended up in similar troubles. But they look great, and this was the first time I saw this species in our front garden, which surprised me. Of course, I never saw the 7-meter tall Betula which really need pruning away from electricity wires… Many species are doing a great job in recycling dead materials, fallen leaves, and dead branches, and also dead trunks in all shapes and sizes. These are some examples of fungi doing the recycling job in forests – small and large and colourful. Ear Fungus is often found on dead trunks of trees. This is a weird looking, feeling, and tasting mushroom that can hardly be misidentified: It looks like a human ear, it feels like an ear, and it even tastes like an ear! This edible fungus was the very first export article that was sent from New Zealand to China in the eighteen hundreds. The Chew Chong brothers in Taranaki were the first people to send container loads of these fungi by ship. Gardeners will encounter fungi that cause all sorts of problems in fruit (fruit rots), in roots (Phytophthora), and in stems and on leaves. Often preventative gardening will reduce the problems developing. Copper sprays tend to protect a plant from Spores settling on the developing fruit. Brown Rot on Apricot What I love to see is interaction between fungi and insects. Here is a stinkhorn fungus with a decent amount of smelly, brown liquid. Flies are keen to harvest that brown stinky stuff and in doing so, they get the brown spores on their body. Those spores are distributed through gardens and forests. Autumn is the time to go for a walk and just look at fungi; I reckon they actually run this planet! LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Irish Potato Famine, which began in 1845, looms large not only in the imagination of that country, but also here in the United States, where so many Irish migrants arrived in desperation. Phytophthora infestans caused blight across Europe—but only in Ireland did crop failures result in devastation so vast that the period is known in that country simply as the “Great Hunger.” Why did the blight strike Ireland, newly part of the United Kingdom, so much harder than it did elsewhere in Europe? In Rot: An Imperial History of the Irish Famine, historian Padraic X. Scanlan identifies the policies of the British Empire as the primary reason for the deaths of roughly a million people and the exodus of two million more. But Britain didn't perpetuate a genocide, Scanlan argues—its choices reflected deep political beliefs in market forces that would reveal themselves to be anything but natural.Go beyond the episode:Padraic X.

De aardappel wordt bedreigd en daarom wordt jouw frietje in de snackbar steeds duurder. Klimaatverandering, weersextremen, insecten en virussen.. de aardappelplant heeft het zwaar. Maar de grootste boosdoener is Phytophthora infestans, veroorzaker van de gevreesde aardappelziekte. Een ziekteverwekker die zich gedraagt als schimmel (maar dat niet is) en oogsten kan laten mislukken. Verslagever Sander Nieuwenhuijsen onderzoekt hoe aardappelboeren en wetenschappers de strijd aangaan, zodat hij zijn geliefde patat niet hoeft te missen.

Martina und Ralf besuchen die beiden NDR Beete und ziehen Zwischenbilanz: Was ist gut gewachsen, was ist missglückt? Unterstützung bekommen die beiden von Garten-Expertin Claudia Heger. Und dann geht es in den Garten von "Tomatenfee" Sibylle Maurer-Wohlatz. Sie hat rund 180 Tomatensorten angebaut und kennt sich aus. Von der Anzucht zur Pflege bis hin zu der Bekämpfung von Pilzkrankheiten. Die Braun- und Krautfäule (Phytophthora infestans) zum Beispiel ist für viele Hobbygärtnerinnen und Hobbygärtner, die Kartoffeln oder Tomaten anbauen, ein Graus. Wenn dieser Pilz zugeschlagen hat, sind die Pflanzen über kurz oder lang verloren. Feuchte Luft und eine Temperatur zwischen 15 und 23 Grad sind die idealen Voraussetzungen, damit sich die Pilzsporen aus der Luft an den Pflanzen festsetzen. Bei betroffenen Kartoffeln werden zunächst die Stängel und Blattstiele braun. Später bekommen die Blätter braune Flecken und bei hoher Luftfeuchte kann ein weißer Belag an der Unterseite auftreten. Bei den Tomaten erkennt man eine Infektion daran, dass die Blätter welken und absterben. An den Früchten treten harte Stellen auf und sie beginnen zu faulen. Genießbar sind sie dann nicht mehr. Sobald die ersten sichtbaren Symptome auftreten, sollten die betroffenen Pflanzenteile entfernt und über den Hausmüll entsorgt werden. Eins vorweg: In den Privatgärten kann nicht sichergestellt werden, dass Phytophthora infetans überhaupt nicht zuschlägt. Das Ausbrechen der Krankheit kann mit etwas Glück und dem vorbeugenden Spritzen der Pflanzen aber gut verzögert werden. "Tomatenfee" Sibylle Maurer-Wohlatz setzt erfolgreich auf ein Mittel, das bereits in vielen Betrieben eingesetzt wird, die sich auf biologischen Gemüseanbau spezialisiert haben. Für das Mittel wird benötigt: - eine Spritzflasche mit 5 Litern Inhalt - 25 Gramm Backpulver oder Kaliumhydrogenkarbonat - 8 Gramm Lecithin Lecithin wird vor allem aus Soja hergestellt. Die Zutaten in die mit 5 Litern Wasser gefüllte Spritzflasche geben und alles ordentlich durchmischen. Im Frühjahr können die Pflanzen damit mehrfach benetzt werden. Das Mittel sollte auf die Blattober- und Blattunterseite und über die Früchte gespritzt werden.

Schickt uns eine Nachricht In der aktuellen Podcastfolge beschäftigen wir uns mit den «Farmer Science»-Projekten. Dabei geht es um Forschungsprojekte, die von Landwirten und Landwirtinnen initiiert und auf den eigenen Betrieben umgesetzt werden. Barbara Früh berichtet uns davon, wie solche Projekte entstehen und mit Hilfe vom FiBL umgesetzt werden können. Tobias Gelencsér hat dann auch gleich ein praktisches Beispiel mitgebracht. Er hat einen Kartoffelbauer bei der Planung und Durchführung eines Versuchs unterstützt, der zum Ziel hat, das im Kartoffelanbau durchaus umstrittene Kuper zu ersetzten. Im geringen Umfang dient Kupfer als Nährstoff für Nutzpflanzen, ist aber vor allem ein hochwirksames, natürliches Pflanzenschutzmittel gegen diverse Pilzerkrankungen. Im Falle der Kartoffel wird Kupfer gegen die gefürchtete Kraut- und Knollenfäule (Phytophthora infestans) eingesetzt. Kupfer ist allerdings nicht unproblematisch. Es kann bereits in geringen Konzentrationen toxisch auf Mikroorganismen und Weichtiere wirken. Hinzu kommt, dass sich Kupfer vor allem in den oberen Bodenschichten anreichert. Damit kann die Biodiversität längerfristig geschädigt werden. In dem Farmerscience Versuch wurden zwei verschiedene Mittel ausprobiert mit dem Ziel, die eingesetzte Kupfermenge zu halbieren. Welche Ergebnisse es dabei gab und welche entscheidende Rolle auch das Wetter bei diesem Versuch spielt könnt ihr jetzt in dieser Folge hören. Gäst*innenBarbara FrühTobias GelencsérFinanzierung: Die Farmerscience-Projekte werden durch die Leopold-Bachmann-Stiftung und das BLW unterstützt.Moderation Gespräch: Vanessa Gabel, FiBLAn- und Abmoderation: Anke Beermann, FiBLWeiterführende Informationen https://www.fibl.org/de/themen/projektdatenbank/projektitem/project/2577https://www.fibl.org/de/infothek/meldung/farmer-scienceE-Mailpodcast@fibl.orgInstagram@fibl_focusWebsitewww.fibl.orgFiBL Focus ist der Podcastkanal des FiBL Schweiz, einem der weltweit grössten Forschungsinstitute für biologischen Landbau.

Today on Mushroom Hour we are joined by magnanimous mycological scholar Dr. Keith Seifert, adjunct professor in the biology department at Carleton University. Dr. Seifert has spent more than forty years studying fungi on five continents. At Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, he did research on microscopic fungi from farms, forests, food and the built environment to reduce toxins and diseases affecting plants and animals. He was president of the International Mycological Association, an executive editor of Mycologia, and associate editor of several other scientific journals. Dr. Seifert is here to dive into his debut book The Hidden Kingdom of Fungi – Exploring the Microscopic World in Our Forests, Homes and Bodies. In this marvelous book, he invites us to see our world as one full of microbial ecological succession, symbiotic interactions with fungi and maybe an understanding that this epoch could truly be considered the mycocene.   TOPICS COVERED:   Descending into the Hidden Kingdom   Spectrum of Symbioses   The Lives of Endophytes    Holobionts   Fungi and Human Agriculture   Mycotoxins   Ancient History of Fungal Domestication – Beer, Bread & Cheese   Rot to Fermentation Continuum   Invasive Species, Biopiracy, Biocolonialism   Human Houses as Ecosystems   Mold Colonies in Our Homes   Dandruff, Candida & Fungi in the Human Microbiome   Amphibian Apocalypse   A World Powered by Fungi    EPISODE RESOURCES:   "The Hidden Kingdom of Fungi": https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-hidden-kingdom-of-fungi-exploring-the-microscopic-world-in-our-forests-homes-and-bodies-keith-seifert/17251543?ean=9781771646628   Keith Seifert iNaturalist: https://www.inaturalist.org/people/77976   Keith Seifert ResearchGate: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Keith-Seifert-2   "I Contain Multitudes": https://edyong.me/i-contain-multitudes   Phytophthora infestans (Irish Potato Famine Pathogen): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytophthora_infestans   UG-99 Wheat Rust: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ug99   Escovopsis aspergilloides: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escovopsis_aspergilloides   "When Darwin Comes to Town": https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34930832-darwin-comes-to-town   "The Song of the Dodo": https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/12868099

Farmers and countryside communities are asking for more support in the budget, and a new book by academics specialising in rural affairs says "The needs of the poorest and most vulnerable people in rural areas, are ignored by the Government in a way that would not be acceptable in urban centres". The group of academics from Newcastle University, Scotland's Rural College (SRUC) and Inverness Impact-Hub, have written a new book called Rural Poverty Today. For instance, it shows that those living in rural areas face energy costs 15-30 per cent higher than those in towns. We speak to one of the authors, Professor Mark Shucksmith from Newcastle University Improving bio-diversity and sequestering carbon, and getting paid for it. That's an increasingly attractive proposition for farmers. But a growing number of them aren't applying for government money via Defra - public money for public goods. They're teaming up with the private sector. Brewood Park Farm near Wolverhampton is part of a group called "The Green Collective" - half a dozen farms are working with a local company called YourPact to get investment from businesses in the Midlands. Their money's helping to improve habitats for birds, improve the soil and plant cover crops. Tens of thousands of trees in the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire are being removed because of the tree disease Phytophthora ramorum and re-planting schemes are getting underway. Larch, which are widely grown for the timber market, are particularly susceptible to the disease, which has been in the UK for nearly 15 years. It can be spread on plant material, or in waterways and through the air. Presenter = Anna Hill Producer = Rebecca Rooney

We're a step closer to winning the battle against kauri dieback disease thanks to a team of scientists who have completed the genome sequence of the pathogen that causes the disease, Phytophthora agathidicida. Dr Nari Williams, Plant Pathologist at Plant and Food Research and co-author of the research, joins the show to discuss.

In this episode, Juliana Gonzalez-Tobon from Cornell University, joins host Jim Bradeen to talk about her research on small non-coding RNAs and the role they play in regulating plant pathogen interactions. The two also discuss her social media presence and what she's doing to fight COVID misinformation and raise the profile of science communication.

With several years of drought affecting the West, tree nut and citrus growers are now seeing an underground issue: Phytophthora root rot. This disease infects the tissue of plants, affecting overall plant health. With decreased irrigation intensity, orchards decline and tree death may begin to increase. Syngenta Agronomic Service Manager Chris Clemens joins us to talk about management tactics available for growers, including the Syngenta Soil Pathogen Assessment (SPA), a program that assesses Phytophthora infections on a field-by-field basis.

In this episode of Tech On Demand brought to you by GrowerTalks, host Bill Calkins is joined for the second time by Dr. Ann Chase, owner of Chase Agricultural Consulting, and Dr. Aaron Palmateer, technical development lead for the ornamental business at SePRO. Both are expert-level plant disease gurus with decades of combined work in the field. Last time we talked with Ann and Aaron, the discussion centered on what to expect—from a disease perspective—in spring production. If you didn't listen to that one, jump back in the archives and check out Episode 33. This time, we're moving on to summer, but first, the guests reflect back on spring for a bit before jumping right into warm-season diseases like Phytophthora, Rhizoctonia, soft rots like Erwinia, Southern Blight, Xanthomonas and plenty more. They discuss what they've seen in greenhouses and nurseries already this summer and what they expect to see soon—more than 25 diseases they've seen first-hand. One of the most interesting parts of this cast is a rundown of common diseases and the temperature ranges that bring them on. The episode continues with thoughts on why producing crops (like vinca, poinsettias and fall pansies) out-of-season often requires the most vigilance and hardest work by production teams before concluding with an in-depth look at the most cutting-edge control strategies for summer diseases.   Resources: Dr. Ann Chase: archase@chaseresearch.net Dr. Aaron Palmateer: aaronp@sepro.com Chase Horticultural Research: www.chaseagri.com SePRO: https://www.sepro.com/Hort   BE SURE TO SUBSCRIBE TO THE TECH ON DEMAND PODCAST ON ANY MAJOR PODCAST APP SO YOU NEVER MISS AN EPISODE!

NB: Ces épisodes sont l'épilogue de la série con sacrée à l'impact du tourisme sur le Vivant, un débat avec Kris de Bardia, Adeline Lobbes et Marc Mortelmans, 3 guides animalier : https://bit.ly/tourisme_et_vivant1_CBT  https://bit.ly/tourisme_et_vivant2_CBT  https://bit.ly/tourisme_et_vivant3_CBT  https://bit.ly/tourisme_et_vivant4_CBT   Les EEE (espèces exotiques envahissantes) ou espèces invasives sont un des 5 causes majeures d'extinction d'espèces dans le monde. Mais leurs impacts ne sont pas qu'écologiques.   Beaucoup ne s'adaptent pas à leur nouveau milieu, d'autres le font sans faire de vague. D'autres encore entraînent des extinctions d'espèces et/ou d'importants dégâts.   Le Moustique tigre, venu d'Asie du sud-est et présent désormais dans une centaine de pays sur les cinq continents, est sans doute le cas le plus connu. Autres exemples: la Fourmi de feu aux États-Unis, la Moule zébrée dans les grands lacs canadiens, le Serpent arboricole brun sur l' île de Guam, le Lapin en Australie, la Jussie (une plante rampante) en Afrique, l'Ambroisie en Europe de l'ouest…   Homo sapiens est aussi une espèce envahissante stricto sensu. La pire en termes de dégâts causés, et responsable de 99% de la survenues des autres EEE dont... les chats aussi.   Des chercheurs français ont évalué l'impact que les espèces envahissantes, autant de touristes involontaires,  introduites volontairement ou non par l'Homme dans un milieu qui n'étaient pas le leur, ont engendré 1.288 milliards de dollars de pertes économiques entre 1970 et 2017. Une somme équivalente au PIB de l'Australie.   Leur nombre est estimé à 14.000 en Europe, et à 5000 en France.   Voici la liste noire des 100 pires EEE (espèces exotiques envahissantes) selon l'UICN.   Vous avez la flemme de cliquer sur le lien? Voici d'autres espèces:   La perche du Nil : C'est devenu le symbole des espèces invasives depuis le film Le Cauchemar de Darwin. Introduite en 1954 dans le lac Victoria, elle multiplié les prises de pêche par quatre. Mais elle a aussi entraîné la disparition de 200 espèces locales.   Le champignon Phytophthora infestans a provoqué la Grande Famine en 1845 en Irlande, en détruisant les pommes de terre.   Le phylloxéra Viteus vitifoliae a failli exterminer les vignes européennes à la fin du 19e siècle.   La méduse Mnemiopsis leidyi en mer Noire ayant considérablement affaibli les ressources halieutiques.   L'étoile de mer dévoreuse de corail (Acanthaster planci), alias "couronne d'épine" est sujette à des « explosions de populations » qui ruinent les écosystèmes coralliens, parmi les plus riches et les plus fragiles au monde.   Le Frelon asiatique Vespa velutina en France notamment, prédateur d'abeilles et d'autres insectes pollinisateurs.   L'introduction du Rat noir Rattus rattus et du Rat d'égoût (Surmulot) Rattus norvegicus en Europe au Moyen âge, responsable de la peste qui a divisé par deux la population européenne.   L'abeille tueuse : Au Brésil, le gouvernement autorise en 1956 l'importation d'une abeille africaine pour l'étudier. Relâchée involontairement, un essaim s'hybride avec l'abeille locale. La nouvelle espèce, appelée "abeille tueuse" est particulièrement agressive. Elle remonte vers le Mexique et on la trouve aujourd'hui aux Etats-Unis.   Le ragondin : Exploité au 19ème siècle pour sa fourrure, il a été rapporté d'Amérique du Sud. Les éleveurs en faillite l'ont relâché dans la nature : en 40 ans, elle a colonisé toute la France, causant des dégâts sur les berges des cours d'eau.   La crépidule des moules : Ce coquillage a été introduit accidentellement par les bateaux américains lors du débarquement. Elle entre en compétition avec les huîtres et les moules et menace l'ostréiculture. Voir l'épisode correspondant de Petit Poisson deviendra  Podcast. Idem pour la Rascasse volante, le Crabe bleu etr le Poisson lapin, aussi abordés dans PPDP.   L'écrevisse de Louisiane : Ramenée en France dans les années 70 pour faire face à la baisse de production de l'écrevisse locale, cette espèce prédatrice l'a non seulement fait disparaître totalement, mais aussi d'autres poissons et amphibiens.   Les tortues de Floride : Particulièrement appréciées des enfants, elles pullulent de façon incontrôlée sitôt qu'on les relâche dans la nature. Sa vente est interdite en France depuis 1992.   Le silure : Cet énorme poisson-chat, dont les plus gros spécimens mesurent plus de 3 m de long, est venu du Danube en empruntant des canaux. Il gagne progressivement tous les cours d'eau français, d'autant plus que des amateurs de pêche sportive répandent eux-même des alevins dans les cours d'eau.   La Fallopia Japonica : Cette algue brune laminaire originaire du Japon et importée en France par des aquariophiles, a envahi les cours d'eau et menace les autres espèces d'algues, car elle secrète des substances toxiques pour ses voisines.   Le Miconi : En 1965, cette plante d'ornement est offerte au jardin botanique d'Hawaï. En 40 ans, le Miconia s'est étendu sur toute l'île. Surnommée "ebola verte", il fait de l'ombre aux autres espèces qui meurent. Ses racines ne retiennent plus le sol et elle provoque donc des effondrements de terrain.   Wasmannia auropunctata, la petite fourmi folle a envahi la Nouvelle-Calédonie et Tahiti.   La jacinthe d'eau détruit la vie aquatique, en la privant de lumière, dans les rivières ou les lacs.   Voici une liste encore plus détaillée faune et flore par région du monde. _______ Kris de Bardia est guide animalier dans le Parc de Bardia au Népal. Après 20 ans dans les forêts et les savanes d'Asie, il reprend son sac à dos et devient guide en Laponie, en Arctique et en Antarctique.   Adeline Lobbes est guide de brousse en Afrique de l'Est et en Afrique australe. Elle connaît entre autres le Serengeti, le Masaï Mara, le parc Kruger... comme son jardin.   Marc Mortelmans est l'hôte des Podcasts Baleine sous Gravillon. Il a travaillé 5 ans comme prof de plongée en Égypte (mer Rouge), Yucatan, Honduras, Costa Rica, Galapagos et 6 ans comme guide d'expéditions de montagne dans les Andes. _______

The Friday Newsletter |  Daily Gardener Community   Historical Events 1755 Birth of Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (books by this author), French lawyer and politician. He became a famous epicure and gastronome. In The Physiology of Taste, He wrote, A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner.  'Much obliged', said he, pushing the plate aside; 'I am not accustomed to taking my wine in pills.   1803 Birth of Miles Joseph Berkeley, English cryptogamist and clergyman. Miles is regarded as a founder of plant pathology. As a young man, Miles became passionate about lichens, and he became a recognized expert in his lifetime. Miles pursued his botanical work around his duties as a pastor. He coined the term "mycologist" to describe his work with nature. Today Websters defines a mycologist as someone who works with fungi ("fun-guy"), living organisms such as molds, yeast, and mushrooms.  And while many of his fellow clergymen believed the potato famine to be a tool of the devil, Miles correctly suspected that a water mold, Phytophthora infestans, could be the source of the problem. Miles named a mushroom species Agaricus ruthae ("Ah-GARE-uh-kus Ruth-ee") after his daughter Ruth. Ruth Ellen Berkeley became a successful botanical illustrator.   1838 Birth of George Edward Post, American physician and scholar. He was a missionary, professor, and pioneering doctor in Syria, Beirut, and Lebanon. In his spare time, he botanized the countryside and wrote the first English Flora of the Middle East. George is remembered for his extensive herbarium. His students helped with his collecting efforts. George would assign two hundred herbarium sheets per student and reward those who traveled the furthest to obtain specimens. There are many incredible stories about George Post. Supposedly, he could outwork most men and fall asleep very quickly. George Post lore tells how George could also collect specimens without getting off his horse. George got good at leaning down low on the side of his saddle to grab a specimen for his study. Finally, as George lay dying, a visitor placed some wheat in his hand. The wheat was symbolic of the harvest and George's lifetime of work with plants.   1868 Birth of Edmond Rostand (books by this author), the very dapper-looking French poet and dramatist. Edmond built a villa called Arnaga in Cambo less Bains, France. The beautiful gardens cover 37 acres. Edmond planned the French garden on the east side to greet the rising sun and an English garden on the west side to enjoy the setting sun. Edmond called Arnaga "a poem of stone and greenery," and it is often referred to as the "Little Versaille" in the Basque country. Today the villa and the gardens get five-star reviews on Trip Advisor. Edmond is best known for his 1897 play Cyrano de Bergerac. In the play, Edmond wrote this garden-inspired verse, My soul, be satisfied with flowers, With fruit, with weeds even; but gather them In the one garden you may call your own.   Grow That Garden Library™ Book Recommendation Patina Farm by Brooke and Steve Giannetti This book came out in March of 2016 - so it's been out for six years already. This book has been on my watch list for quite some time, and use copies have finally dipped below $20, so I am thrilled to share this with you on today's show. Let me just start by saying that the cover of Patina Farm is so stunning. It's one of my favorite covers, and when I saw the cover for the first time, I could not stop thinking about it. I love the use of dried flowers and the styling on the cover. I love the cutting boards displayed over the mantle, the beautiful teal slip-covered chairs, and the natural elements that make this gorgeous cover. And then, of course, there is the incredibly inspiring story of Steve and his wife, Brooke, because they decided to leave suburbia - they were living in Santa Monica - and then they built a new life for themselves on a farm. But first, they went to Europe to find their inspiration for their farm - visiting Belgium and France - and then combined their talents to create Patina Farm, sharing what they did in this book. Now Steve is the architect. He puts together all the architectural drawings, which you can see in the book. And then Brooke is the writer. She's a beautiful writer and took over 200 photographs shared in this book. And don't I love the name of their farm: Patina Farm. The book is dedicated to their children, Charlie, Nick, and Lyla, and in the dedication, they said that their kids give their dreams meaning, which is so touching. The other thing I like about this book is how they share their journey in the titles of each chapter. So there's arriving, connecting, nourishing, creating, restoring, rejuvenating, sharing, and then farming - and then they give abundant resources at the end, too. If there's something that you're particularly inspired by, you can track down the resources that they used. Patina Farm is a total eye candy book. If you're a gardener, You're going to swoon at this book. It's gorgeous. And like I said, it's one of my favorite books. It's got all of the things that I love - beautiful elements, both natural and manmade - and it all comes together to create tranquil, inspiring Patina Farm (Which has not one but two courtyards. Isn't that a dream come true?!) The other thing that you're going to enjoy by getting this book is that you will quickly realize how down-to-earth Steve and Brooke are, even though they've created this incredible jaw-dropping space. These guys are salt of the earth kind of people, and they're just so generous and sharing how they came up with the plans and the ideas behind this space. I also want just to take a quick second and share a bit of what Clinton Smith said about this book. He is the editor-in-chief of Veranda, and he wrote the forward. He wrote. On five acres in the heart of the Ohai Valley in California Is a place that has emerged over the past three years as the best case study of confident design married with passion and purpose. It's not as over the top or attention-seeking as some homes. In fact, it excels in understatement. Hidden from street view by a bank of white roses, the house and landscape — treated as one — fosters respect for nature, for space, for light and air, and everyday moments.  When you're at Patina Farm, you feel it through the waft of lavender in the backyard, the sound of crunching pea gravel underfoot on the back terrace. Bowls of freshly cut lemons on the kitchen island, the jolly nature of miniature donkeys, and silky Bantam chickens that have the run of the place. And while the owners didn't set out to create a Biltmore or Monticello (and why would they?), There are indeed similarities.  I could go on and on gushing about this book, But I trust that you get the drift. This book is 176 pages  (But I sure wish there were 500 pages, to be honest) of Patina Farm because I can't get enough of it. You can get a copy of Patina Farm by Brooke and Steve Giannetti and support the show using the Amazon link in today's show notes for around $18.   Botanic Spark In 2013, nine graduation speeches by Kurt Vonnegut (books by this author) were collected and published posthumously in a book called, If This Isn't Nice, What Is?: Advice for the Young.  In one speech, Kurt gave his unique take on the seasons. One sort of optional thing you might do is to realize there are six seasons instead of four.  The poetry of four seasons is all wrong for this part of the planet, and this may explain why we are so depressed so much of the time.  I mean, Spring doesn't feel like Spring a lot of the time, and November is all wrong for Fall and so on. Here is the truth about the seasons: Spring is May and June!  What could be springier than May and June?  Summer is July and August. Really hot, right?  Autumn is September and October. See the pumpkins? Smell those burning leaves.  Next comes the season called “Locking.” That is when Nature shuts everything down.  November and December aren't Winter. They're Locking.  Next comes Winter, January and February. Boy! Are they ever cold!  What comes next? Not Spring.  Unlocking comes next. What else could April be?   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener And remember: For a happy, healthy life, garden every day.
