I'd love to meet you in the group.   Important Events April 30, 1877 Today is the birthday of the American-born member of the Parisian avant-garde of the early 20th century and the life partner of American writer Gertrude Stein - Alice B. Toklas (“Toe-kliss”). In 1954, Alice's cookbook, simply called the Alice B Toklas Cook Book, was published. It became one of the best-selling cookbooks of all time, thanks to Alice's recipe for hashish fudge made with nuts, spices,  fruit, and cannabis.  Calling it the food of paradise, Alice recommended serving her special fudge at gatherings to liven things up but advised limiting one's self to no more than two pieces. She also casually mentioned that it was quote “easy to whip up on a rainy day.” Now the last chapter of the cookbook offers a delightful glimpse at Alice and Gertrude's vegetable garden at Bilignin “Bill-in-ya” in southeastern France. And I thought I’d share a few lovely excerpts with you today in honor of Alice’s birthday. “For fourteen successive years, the Gardens at Bilignin were my joy, working in them during the summers and planning and dreaming of them during the winters. The summers frequently commenced early in April with the planting and ended late in October with the last gathering of the winter vegetables. Bilignin, surrounded by mountains and not far from the French Alps… made early planting uncertain. One year we lost the first planting of string beans. Another year, the green peas were caught by a late frost. It took me several years to know the climate and quite as many more to know the weather. Experience is never at a bargain price. Then too, I obstinately refused to accept the lore of the farmers, judging it, with the prejudice of a townswoman to be nothing but superstition. They told me never to transplant parsley and not to plant it on Good Friday. We did it in California, was my weak reply.  In the spring of 1929, we became tenants of what had become the manor of Bilignin. We were enchanted with everything. But after careful examination of the two large vegetable gardens... it was to my horror that I discovered the state they were in. Nothing but potatoes have been planted the year before. Poking about with a heavy stick, there seemed to be some resistance in a corner followed by a rippling movement. The rubbish and weeds would have to be cleared out at once. In six days, the seven men we mobilized in the village had accomplished this. In the corner where I had poked, a snake’s nest and several snakes have been found. But so were raspberries and strawberries.  The work in the vegetables …. was a full-time job and more. Later it became a joke. Gertrude Stein asking me what I saw when I closed my eyes, and I answered, “Weeds.” That, she said, was not the answer, and so weeds were changed to strawberries. It took me an hour to gather a small basket for Gertrude Stein's breakfast, and later when there was a plantation of them in the upper garden, our young guests were told that if they care to eat them, they should do the picking themselves. The first gathering of the garden in May of salads, radishes, and herbs made me feel like a mother about her baby — how could anything so beautiful be mine. And this emotion of wonder filled me for each vegetable as it was gathered every year. There is nothing that is comparable to it, as satisfactory or ss thrilling, as gathering the vegetables one has grown.”   April 30, 1883 Today is the anniversary of the death of the French modernist painter Édouard Manet (“Mah-nay”). His painting, 'Music in the Tuileries Gardens' ("TWEE-luh-Reehs"), was his first significant work depicting modern city life. Sensitive to criticism, Manet once wrote, “The attacks of which I have been the object have broken the spring of life in me... People don't realize what it feels like to be constantly insulted. ” When it came to the complexity of still life painting, Manet wrote, “Bring a brioche. I want to see you paint one. Still life is the touchstone of painting.” Manet grew peonies in his garden at Gennevilliers (“Jen-vill-EE-aye”); they were reportedly his favorite flower. Manet’s paintings of peonies were the perfect blend of skill and subject. Manet’s blousy technique was perfect for the petals and leaves. Today in many of Manet’s paintings, the pink peonies have turned white due to the deterioration of the pigments in the paint. Regarding Manet‘s peony art, his Peonies in a Vase on a Stand is considered one of his best pieces. A 1983 exhibition catalog by the Galeries Nationales du Grand Palais in Paris, wrote: “Van Gogh was much struck by this painting.. and [asked,]  ‘Do you remember that one day we saw a very extraordinary Manet at the Hôtel Drouot, some huge pink peonies with their green leaves against a light background?  As free in the open air and as much a flower as anything could be, and yet painted in a perfectly solid impasto.’” In China, the peony is known as the sho-yu, which means “most beautiful.” When the explorer Marco Polo saw peonies in China for the first time, he misidentified them - calling them “Roses as big as cabbages." Traditionally, peonies are used to celebrate the 12th wedding anniversary. If you planted one on your first Anniversary, the peony could easily outlast your marriage; peonies can live for over 100 years.   Unearthed Words It was a perfect spring day. The air was sweet and gentle, and the sky stretched high, an intense blue. Harold was certain that the last time he had peered through the net drapes of Fossebridge Road (his home), the trees and hedges were dark bones and spindles against the skyline; yet now that he was out, and on his feet, it was as if everywhere he looked, the fields, gardens, trees, and hedgerows and exploded with growth. A canopy of sticky young leaves clung to the branches above him. There were startling yellow clouds of forsythia, trails of purple aubrieta; a young willow shook in a fountain of silver. The first of the potato shoots fingered through the soil, and already tiny buds hung from the gooseberry and currant shrubs like the earrings Maureen used to wear. The abundance of new life was enough to make him giddy. ― Rachel Joyce, British author, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry   Grow That Garden Library Liquid Gold by Roger Morgan-Grenville This book came out in 2020, and the subtitle is Bees and the Pursuit of Midlife Honey. Thor Hanson, the author of Buzz, said this about Roger’s book: “Beekeeping builds from lark to revelation in this carefully observed story of midlife friendship. Filled with humor and surprising insight, Liquid Gold is as richly rewarding as its namesake. Highly recommended.” Roger writes about meeting his friend Duncan in a pub. And on a chance decision, they resolve to become beekeepers. Ignorant but eager, the two learn, through their mistakes and their friendship, how to care for bees and become master beekeepers. After two years, they have more honey than they can personally use. The experience teaches them resilience, along with a newfound appreciation for nature and a desire to protect the honeybee from increased threats and extinction. Humorous and informative, Liquid Gold is an uplifting and educational story about humans and bees, making it pure gold for your summer reading. This book is 272 pages of an honest journey to beekeeping between two unlikely friends.

ABS is “an organization dedicated to the study, preservation, and enjoyment of the plants of the Adirondack Mountain Region. Members may live in, visit, or care about the region and strive to educate others about the importance of its plant life and the environment that supports it.” The group has an active Facebook page. If you have been on a hike or paddle lately and have a few pics you would like to share; you can do so on the Facebook page for the group. Recent posts include: “Ray and I visited Elder's Grove today.  I used the "measure" app on my iPhone to measure the trunk of a large eastern white pine (Pinus strobus).  I attach a photo that the app generates with the total length printed on the screen.  The trunk lying on the ground was 159'10".  Add the 16' of still standing stump, and the total height of the tree before it fell was approximately 176'.  I neglected to bring my D-tape, but the dbh was well over 50".  An amazing tree, even dead and turning to humus (HYew-mis”)!” In any case, happy tenth anniversary to the Adirondack Botanical Society. Here’s to many more!   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener. And remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

Grovarbetande män som bär kjol på jobbet. En designer som anser att en filosof är en självklar del av modeskapande. I veckans STIL Special har vi samlat fem reportage med folk och fenomen som fascinerat lite extra under årets säsong av Stil. De handlar alla handlar om människor som - på olika vis och under olika tider - har ifrågasatt vårt förhållande till kläder, kropp och kön - och inte sällan gett överraskande alternativ. Ofta har de dessutom blivit mycket framgångsrika. I veckans STIL Special får vi åter igen höra om hur den japanske modeskaparen Issey Miyake arbetar. Fast ”mode” är förstås en alldeles för snäv beskrivning av vad han håller på. Issey Miyake är en innovatör som utvecklar nya sätt att göra både textilier och plagg. I år firar till exempel hans banbrytande linje ”Pleats Please” tjugoårsjubileum.  Det är hårt veckade, eller plisserade, plagg av polyester som är lättanvända, lättvättade och omöjliga att skrynkla. De är dessutom nästan outslitliga. På hans researchstudio ”Issey Miyake Design Lab” jobbar en svensk kvinna vid namn heter Ulrika Elovsson som blev handplockad till jobbet. Om hur det är att få möjlighet att tänka helt fritt och nytt berättar hon. Under senare år har modeskapare som Jean-Paul Gaultier försökt införa manskjolen i kollektioner, utan större framgång. Inte heller har den amerikanske designern Marc Jacobs, som under många år offentligt traskat runt i kjol, lyckats få män att haka på trenden. Det skulle vara artisten Kanye West då. Han har i alla fall gjort tappra försök under året som gått, men mest mötts av generade fniss. Men det finns undantag. För kjolen kan även ses som ett arbetsplagg – och då hittar man den företrädesvis hos grovarbetande män. Det får vi också höra om. Vi ger oss även tillbaka till Harlemrenässansen, en period under det tidiga 1900-talet då kulturen och nöjeslivet blomstrade i stadsdelen Harlem i New York. En av de personer som lyste starkast i 1920-talets Harlem var konstnären och författaren Richard Bruce Nugent. Han var känd för sin skönhet och för sina kvickheter – han tyckte om att både roa och chockera sina åhörare. I en tid av sexuell frigjordhet var Richard Bruce Nugent av de mer frigjorda. Han var bland annat den första afrikanamerikanska författaren som publicerade en litterär text om kärlek mellan två män. Om honom berättar vi mer. Och så får vi höra om hur den svenske frisören Roger Morgan valt att tackla de spår som tidens tand sätter på utsidan, och varför.

Under 1980-talet var Claude Montana (1949-) ett av det franska modets vassaste namn som gjorde sig känd för knivskarpa silhuetter, breda axlar och mjukt skinn. Han införde läder i både vår- och höstkollektionerna och fick genom sin snillrika design skinnplagg att kännas och se ut som exklusiva textiler. Hans modeller var alla långbenta glamazoner som gled fram längs catwalken. En Montanakvinna tjafsade man inte med. Claude Montana var kort sagt en firad stjärna på modehimlen. Men han lyckades sätta krokben för sig själv och föll ner i glömska. Tills idag. Tillsammans med modeskaparna Thierry Mugler och Jean-Paul Gaultier var Claude Montana med om att modernisera den gamla franska modetraditionen, bland annat genom att blanda in element från subkulturer. Claude Montana lånade friskt från gaykulturens hårda killar i kepsar och chaps som flirtade med olika maktuniformer. Somliga fattade galoppen, andra gjorde det inte och anklagade Montana för att använda sig av obehagliga symboler för polisstater. Om hur den svenska polisens kläder håller på att utvecklas berättar vi mer om i programmet. Vi berättar förstås även mer om Claude Montana och hans karriär som gick i stöpet, men som kanske, kanske är på väg tillbaka. Han dök i alla fall upp i somras då hade gjort ett litet gästspel hos den franske designern Eric Tibusch. Fast det som fick de flesta att förvånat säga ”kvack” var kanske hans fejs. Det står knappat att känna igen efter många, och inte helt lyckade, plastikoperationer. Manlig fåfänga kan vara ett känsligt ämne, men inte för den svenska frisören Roger Morgan. Han tillhör samma generation Claude Montana, men har ett lite mer avslappnat förhållande till sitt åldrande. Även om han i likhet med Montana ogärna lämnar hemmet osminkad och valt att försöka bevara sin ungdom genom plastikkirurgi. Om hur han resonerar får vi också höra.  1993 förvånade Claude Montana omvärlden med att gifta sig med en kvinna. Då gängade han sig med den amerikanska modellen Wallis Franken, som varit hans vän och musa under många år. Det var inte lyckat. Han misshandlade henne fysiskt och psykiskt och hon valde att tre år senare ta sitt liv genom att kasta sig ut genom ett fönster i parets gemensamma våning i Paris. Om detta har han aldrig talat. Vi har även besökt kvinnofängelset Hinseberg där de intagna syr kläder, som sedan säljs vidare till andra anstalter. Veckans gäst är Lotta Lewenhaupt, författare och modejournalist.

STIL firar fem år och i veckans STIL Special fortsätter vi att gräva i vårt digra arkiv. I första delen utgick vi från couture, den här veckan har programmet rubriken Karaktärer. Där möter vi människor som alla medvetet använder sig av mode och makeup för att kommunicera. Vi får bland annat höra ett reportage om den brittiske excentrikern Quentin Crisp. En av hans vars livsfilosofier var att man aldrig någonsin behöver städa sitt hem, för efter fyra år blir smutsen ändå aldrig värre. Vi får också träffa en udda modemusa, den amerikanska konstnären Kembra Pfahler, som inspirerar designern Rick Owens. Andreas ”Whiplasher Bernadotte” Bergh i det svenska bandet Deathstars berättar om vikten av glitter och hur viktigt det kan vara att tänja på gränser. Och så har vi varit hemma på besök hos den svenske frisören Roger Morgan, som satt saxen i hår under snart femtio år. Nästa vecka sänder STIL vårens första nya program.

"The Addams Family" and "Elf"'s lighting designer Natasha Katz talks about the path of her career, beginning with a high school community service requirement that saw her volunteering at a (now-defunct) Off-Broadway theatre and her semester away from Oberlin College as an intern/observer of designer Roger Morgan on the musical "I Remember Mama" which brought her into immediate contact with such notables as Liv Ullmann and Richard Rodgers. She discusses her on the job training (sans graduate school) with such figures as special effects whiz Bran Ferren and lighting designers Marcia Madeira and Ken Billington; explains why she thinks it takes longer now to mount a musical than it did when she began; how a tumultuous relationship with director Clifford Williams led to her Broadway debut at a very young age; what she learned from her work Off-Broadway and in regional theatre, including some 30 productions at the Dallas Theatre Center; why her task is to focus on two key elements -- people and sets -- and to both separate and unite them; how she comes to love a show that she didn't necessarily enjoy reading simply by virtue of working on it; when she joins the creative process with the director and other designers -- and whether that's always at the right time; how she constantly references and stays familiar with lighting in other shows and even other mediums; what it was like to be part of a triumvirate of designers for "The Coast of Utopia"; and why she thinks lighting design was initially very open to female designers and why she believes it's headed in the wrong direction today. Original air date - January 12, 2011.

Theatre Design Specialist Roger Morgan talks about how his education in scenic and lighting design and backstage experience helped determine his focus in the field of architecture. He works on new designs as well as restorations, fully evaluating the existing damage and work required. For the Nederlander Theatre, left in "grungy" condition that suited the long-running musical "Rent" which closed in 2008, Morgan referred back to historical records and photos. Morgan paid close attention to the original architectural details and interior lighting, and gave the theatre a fresh exterior highlighting the arches and original brick as well as a new marquee.
