Branden Collins, founder of the design studio The Young Never Sleep, is a deep thinker. I had such a blast during our conversation about the complex and thought-provoking world of tech, creativity, and the endless possibilities they hold. As an interdisciplinary designer, Branden has worked at Cartoon Network and Snap, but he's also been heads down in the Atlanta creative community as well, which he's just returning to after a stint in Los Angeles.We talked about the ever-evolving landscape of social media, including the rise of microblogging platforms (as a response to Twitter's X-ification), the cautiousness in navigating the digital realm, and some potential ethical issues surrounding AI and VR. Branden also shared his philosophy of technoculture, and we explored world building, information science, issues sex workers face in online platforms, and the parallels between past technological shifts and the emergence of the metaverse.This episode will definitely make you think twice about the tech we build, how we use it, and how it affects our world!LinksThe Young Never SleepThe Young Never Sleep on InstagramFor a full transcript of this interview, visit revisionpath.com.==========Donate to Revision PathFor 10 years, Revision Path has been dedicated to showcasing Black designers and creatives from all over the world.

Situated approximately 70 kilometres from Vancouver, Abbotsford stands as a bedroom community in Canada. The cityscape is marked by extensive farmlands, orchards, and rolling hills that lend to its quaint rural allure. However, in 1995, Abbotsford was shaken by a brutal assault on two teenage girls who were making their way home from a party. Following the grim incident, the assailant initiated a series of unsettling phone calls to the police, forewarning of impending acts of violence. Detectives raced against the clock to identify the individual before he could make good on his threats.SHOW NOTES - https://morbidology.com/morbidology-the-podcast-223-tanya-smith-misty-cockerillPATREON - https://www.patreon.com/morbidologyAudio Credit:Epidemic SoundEvening of Chaos - Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Empty Reflections - ErikMMusic - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgq4SPKHlyIA Mothers Sacrifice - OurMusicBox - https://ourmusicbox.com/Dark Tranquility - Anno Domini Beats - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6mBav72AkThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3527306/advertisement

Central to the Days of Awe is what we call Shabbat Shuvah, or the "Sabbath of Return." Situated between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, this Shabbat holds a special significance. It serves as a momentary pause, a sacred interval for personal and communal reflection. In a season filled with introspection and repentance, Shabbat Shuvah invites us to come home - to return to the Lord with all our hearts. For Christians, this idea of "returning" finds its full expression in the grace and redemption offered through Jesus, our Messiah.

What does accessibility design look like at the largest social media company in the world? According to this week's guest, Tolu Adegbite, it's a lot more than you may think! Between websites, apps, and devices, there are a lot of considerations to factor in, and Tolu's unique background makes her well-equipped to solve these problems.Tolu gave us a peek into the mood at Meta fresh off the launch of Threads, and she spoke about her day-to-day routine being on the company's app design systems team. She also shared her story of starting out as a developer, and went into how recent current events inspired her to get more involved with including intersectionality as a key factor in her work.

Aaaand we're back with another season of Cropped! To kick things off, Wendy comes WAY out of her comfort zone to share a personal experience she thinks might just resonate.

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Patricia Kaishian, a mycologist, writer, and educator who gestures to mycology as a queer discipline. Situated as a queer member of Armenian diaspora, Patricia threads connections between the often misunderstood and mis/under-represented displacement of mycelial bodes and her own. Offering a glimpse of the complex, fascinating, taxonomy-defying world of fungi, Patricia invokes reflections on how we can learn from, dream with, and reclaim queer existence with our fungal kin. What stories of diversity, fluidity, and resilience do they sporulate? What lessons can they inspire in an age of ecological collapse? And what narratives can they invite us to decompose and re-birth? (The musical offering featured in this episode is When You Carried Me by Oropendola.)

When Chad Brown contacted me a couple of months ago about coming back on the podcast, I had no idea that he was about to take me on such an adventure! Of course, if you're a long time listener of the show, then you know Chad for his work as a creative director and photographer. Now, he's fresh off an incredible journey in the Arctic Circle, and he's chronicled the trip in a new documentary — Blackwaters: Brotherhood in the Wild.We went right into talking about the film, and Chad shared how the idea for the documentary came to him, and what he wants people to get from it once they've watched it. We also touched on several issues, including using storytelling to bring awareness to social and environmental issues, Black men in the outdoors, and his nonprofit work dedicated to the power of collective effort in creating change.You'll definitely get inspired by Chad's powerful exploration of storytelling, brotherhood, and the pursuit of justice and healing through the power of creativity!LinksChad Brown's 2017 InterviewChad Brown on InstagramBlackwaters: Brotherhood in the WildMore from Chad Brown:Chado CreativeLove is KingSoul River, Inc.For a full transcript of this interview, visit revisionpath.com.==========Donate to Revision PathFor 10 years, Revision Path has been dedicated to showcasing Black designers and creatives from all over the world.

President Dennis McConnell with Healthy House of Georgia joins the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to share an overview of the energy-efficient custom homebuilding company. On the All About Real Estate segment, McConnell sits down with host Carol Morgan to discuss the benefits of living in a conservation community and his latest project, Pendergrast Farm. Created to help individuals outside the building industry, Healthy House of Georgia recognizes the efforts put into housing that encourage better living. The homebuilding company has worked with many programs, including the EnergyStar Program, Georgia Power's Good Sense Program, the Energy Watt Count and more! The company was the first in the Southeast to develop the American Lung Association Health House, now known as the EnergyStar IQ Indoor Air Quality Program. Homes constructed by Healthy House of Georgia are designed to provide energy efficiency, high indoor air quality and sustainability. McConnell said, “We simply build a better house.” Featuring 8.7 acres designed around conservation, Pendergrast Farms is the newest project of Healthy House of Georgia. The conservation community (or agrihood) boasts a design that allowed the homebuilding company to successfully save more than 400 mature trees on the site. Situated in downtown Atlanta, Pendergrast Farms offers residents incredible resourceful amenities, including a one-and-a-half-acre organic farm. McConnell said, “All these things tie together into better use of land, better use of resources and sustainability, both for the real estate and the people.” When asked what inspired him to build a conservation community, McConnell stated, “Serendipity.” Pendergrast Farms is just one example of making better use of resources and using less land as a footprint for the community. Pendergrast Farms is listed along with Serenbe in Wikipedia as one of two agrihoods in the area. We'd say they are keeping pretty good company! Healthy House of Georgia takes pride in working around core principles such as climate-consciousness and multi-generational living. All the homes designed by the company are built with concrete for boosted eco-friendliness and durability, and every interior is thoughtfully crafted for multi-generational living with wide doorways and adaptable floorplans. Understanding the importance of multi-generational households, Healthy House homes are designed for comfortable living for all generations, from Gen Z to Boomers. McConnell said, “Everyone, as they go through life, can live comfortably in our homes.” Tune into the full interview above to learn more about Healthy House of Georgia and Pendergrast Farms, or visit www.HealthyHouseOfGeorgia.com.

Kenton teams up with his long-time friend Neil Brodie and together they embark on a multi-pitch rock climb which pushes them both (especially Kenton) to the limit. Situated in the stunning Aravis Alps the boys decide to take on a climb on the little frequented cliff above Le Sappey. What (on paper) should have been a mellow day out turns into a much more intense rollercoaster-like experience which Kenton has attempted to record as the day unfolds.

Time has passed, a year has gone by, and another visit to the Station Inn in Cresson, Pennsylvania has produced more great interviews with some very interesting characters. Situated beside the Norfolk Southern's main line from Altoona to Johnstown, Pennsylvania fighting over some of the steepest mainline grades east of the Mississippi. It's a busy helper district with high-volume traffic. In part, one of the Cresson Chronicles, we interviewed a delightful fellow known as John Zelehoski with a plethora of unfinished stories. We talked to Doug Watts, a former Conrail employee, lifelong railroader and finally someone that's becoming a fan favorite with his cheerful personality, Ralph Heiss, or we like to refer to him as Ralphie Boy. This is a great podcast and one we're sure you'll enjoy.

Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/490 Presented By: Mavrk Fly Fishing, Dette Flies, Stonefly Nets Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors Justin Lovell, a resident of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, has a deep passion for both powerlifting and fly fishing. With an unwavering dedication to physical strength and a love for the peacefulness of the outdoors, he finds joy in these two diverse pursuits. Whether he's lifting heavy weights or casting his line into the serene waters, Justin embraces the unique blend of power and tranquility that powerlifting and fly fishing offer, making him a true adventurer at heart. 00:05 - Justin shared the fly fishing opportunities in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia such as casting for Atlantic salmon in the Margaree River or targeting brook trout in secluded mountain streams. 03:23 - We talked about Justin Lovell's social media, and you can check out his accounts here, as well as on Apple, Spotify, Amazon, Youtube, and Podbean. 04:30 - Justin shared that Cape Brenton, Nova Scotia, boasts unique features such as lobster fishing, coal mining, and the Cabot Trail, making it a unique and diverse island. 06:18 - Justin passionately highlighted the world-class fly fishing opportunities nestled along the iconic Margaree River, where anglers can pursue the thrill of catching Atlantic salmon and immerse themselves in the tranquility of Cape Breton's landscape. 07:36 - Justin mentioned several lodges in the area, including glamping, Big Interval Lodge, Brown's and Ross's cabins, and various other options. He mentioned that they offer a cool spot for life purposes and can be accessed around the margarita. 08:16 - Justin shared that despite the common perception of him being a dedicated salmon angler, he actually prefers fishing for brook trout. He humorously mentioned that he's known for his passion for dry fly fishing, which leads to playful teasing from his friends who favor streamers. He emphasized his preference for catching numerous small trout on dry flies over targeting one big brook trout using streamer patterns. Justin clarified that he doesn't dislike streamers but has a genuine love for the art of dry fly fishing. 10:45 - Justin shared that Bras d'Or Lakes offer a unique fishing opportunity with a variety of fish, including striped bass, brown trout, rainbow trout, Brook trout, perch, flatfish, and mackerel. This unique fishing opportunity provides a diverse range of fish for those seeking a unique fishing experience. 11:45 - Justin, a weightlifter, had no outdoor experience until 27 years ago when he fell during a squat and crushed his lower back. He tried to fly fishing at home but was criticized for breaking threads. He eventually bought a fly rod and went out, but accidentally got the hook stuck in his ear. Justin advises others to take time to learn and improve their skills. 12:56 - Jusin learned fly fishing by going with older guys and learning from their experiences. He found some information correct and others wrong, but as he progressed, he began listening to podcasts and other tips to identify areas for improvement. 13:34 - Justin advises beginners to initially learn fly fishing independently, focusing on casting and mastering essential skills like fly line tying, backing attachment, and leader connection. He simplifies casting techniques, underscores the significance of proper methods and gear, and offers guidance to enhance skills and enjoyment in fishing. 14:22 - After three years of starting fly fishing, Justin embraced the guiding principle for learning, recognizing the importance of opportunities. He was open about his limitations and began guiding advanced individuals, forming close friendships, and gaining insights from clients. Over time, he contemplated sharing his guiding expertise through teaching. 16:43 - Justin mentions the North River and Baddeck River, which hold salmon, and Bras d'Or Lakes occasionally receive a run of salmon. 18:38 - Justin mentioned Cape Breton's numerous fishing spots, including the Cabot trail, which boasts massive Brook Trout. He emphasized the importance of visiting for daybreak, as it is a challenging hike. The area is worth the effort, as it offers numerous opportunities for fishing. 20:11 - We discussed a mixed topic, focusing on Brook Trout. When planning a trip, Justin recommends targeting late May to early June for prime fishing, especially for large Brook Trout. However, July to September offers dry fly fishing, with some variability due to weather conditions. 24:33 - Justin shifted away from Salmon Fishing, barely guiding for them last year and not at all this year. Surprisingly, this year has witnessed the highest fish catch in the last four years, with people landing up to four fish a day, a significant improvement compared to the usual one or none. 27:32 - Justin used to prepare a list of questions for his podcast interviews, but he now takes a more spontaneous approach. He aims to understand the interviewee's fishing style and personality better, leading to unexpected and intriguing conversations. As an example, during an episode with Kelly Galloup, Justin uncovered that Kelly had a background as a bodybuilder, surprising many listeners. 31:22 - As Justin delves deeper into podcasting, he's realizing the increasing demands and responsibilities. He acknowledges the positive results but acknowledges the need for better balance. To streamline his process, he plans to schedule podcast uploads in advance, allowing for automation and reducing last-minute efforts. 32:51 - Last year, Justin launched a TV show during a scorching summer. This year, the filming team and Justin are learning fly fishing content, capturing moments in rivers and lakes. They feature Brook Trout, a potential salmon show, and stripers. 34:59 - Justin remarked on his impressive growth over the past couple of years, recognizing the transformation from earlier episodes to his current state. Despite a busy schedule encompassing guiding, healthcare work, a TV show, podcasting, and single parenthood, he remains grateful for the opportunities. He also expresses gratitude for the camera crew who enhance his image on the screen. 35:50 - Our fishing season typically ends in October and begins again in May, with our latest shows featuring River Denny's and the recent Mull River episode. There's more exciting content to come, including episodes on the Middle River and Margaree, all packed with action. You can check more here. 36:34 - We discussed the differences between the TV show and the podcast, particularly in terms of feedback and enjoyment. Justin finds both mediums enjoyable and receives positive feedback for both. While some opinions may vary, he values and respects diverse perspectives. Overall, the experience has been positive, with a focus on helping and supporting others through the show by featuring fishing events and fly tying. 38:45 - Justin suggests targeting May or early June for Brook Trout fishing. Fly fishing is the general approach, but tactics can vary based on weather conditions. Justin provides necessary supplies and adapts fly selection based on the year's conditions. Options include dry flies, streamers like muddler minnows, Mickey fins, stone flies, nims, queen of the water, and wet flies. 41:35 - Justin, with nine years of experience, aims to promote his unique fishing method in local rivers and lakes. He offers clients the opportunity to fish for farm-raised Rainbows, acknowledging their origin but emphasizing the enjoyable experience. Clients often prioritize the experience over the fish's nature. 42:17 - The conversation discussed fishing and guiding, emphasizing the importance of hiring a guide for unfamiliar spots. It discussed meeting spots like renting a car, staying at a lodge, or exploring towns like Margaree or Bedak. Justin highlighted flexibility in meeting arrangements and discussed Brook Trout and Salmon fishing opportunities. 44:42 - We discussed the Margaree River's reputation as a famous destination for Atlantic Salmon fishing. Notably, Topher Browne, an expert in Atlantic Salmon and Spey casting, highlighted the river's appeal as he traveled across North America. The Margaree River is renowned for its status as a prime location for Atlantic Salmon fishing. 45:02 - We discussed the fame of the Margaree River for Atlantic Salmon fishing, with notable anglers like Lee Wolf and John Casamento having fished there. The Margaree is renowned within the Atlantic Salmon community, along with other rivers like the Baddeck River and North River. When thinking of Atlantic Salmon fishing, the Margaree River in Cape Breton stands out as a significant and well-known location for this type of angling. 47:46 - When heading to the Margaree River, Justin suggests getting information through a DIY approach or consulting a local guide like the Tying Scotsman. Engaging with locals who know the area well, such as the Tying Scotsman, can provide valuable guidance for planning your trip, whether you're considering DIY fishing or seeking expert advice. 49:46 - Justin described a scenic drive through a national park that takes around six hours, offering constantly changing and captivating views at every turn. The park's designation as a national park could be attributed to its abundant wildlife and diverse forest ecosystems. Situated at Cape Breton's northern tip, it is mostly surrounded by the ocean, adding to its unique allure. 50:58 - Justin explained that his fishing journey started on a lake, where he studied and honed his skills. Over the past three years, he has transitioned to river fishing and developed a strong affinity for it. He now finds more enjoyment in catching numerous small Brook Trout in rivers than landing a single massive one.

On a somber day, March 25th, Herbert Swilley, a dedicated Florida handyman, took to social media to reveal a heart-wrenching truth. "My dearest friend and partner," as he fondly called Timothy Floyd Smith, had met an unexpected demise. "This has been one of the most painful revelations I've ever had to convey," he wrote about his husband of close to eight years, with a heart heavy with sorrow.   According to Ocala StarBanner, the tragic discovery of Smith's lifeless body was made shortly after 11 a.m. on that fateful day. Situated in the tranquil Citrus Park neighborhood of Ocala, deputies from the Marion County Sheriff's Office found Smith, an esteemed executive director of a renowned senior living community. The preliminary investigation painted a grim picture. The Ocala StarBanner reported that Smith "had endured a violent assault" leading up to his untimely death.   In the aftermath of this shocking incident, Swilley, proprietor of a local handyman service, sought community support. Launching a GoFundMe campaign, he aimed to procure funds for Smith's funeral, a "celebration of life," and to manage impending financial obligations. The campaign managed to secure $2,235, a fraction of the targeted $7,500.   However, the plot thickened when the Marion County Sheriff's Office, on a subsequent Tuesday, identified Swilley as a potential suspect in Smith's tragic killing. The revelation was all the more poignant as, on that very day, Swilley had taken to Facebook to express his yearning, noting, “I miss you every day and wish you were beside me.”   A statement from the sheriff's office further illuminated the ongoing investigation. "In the early stages, detectives engaged Mr. Swilley. Despite subsequent attempts to resume this dialogue, his legal counsel has emphasized that he'd only entertain discussions if assured immunity against charges related to Timothy's death."   Adding another layer to this enigmatic case is the involvement of Jordan Swilley, Herbert's offspring. The sheriff's office has earmarked her as a person of interest. Their statement disclosed, "While Jordan provided an initial account, she has since chosen to remain reticent."   To date, no charges have materialized. Efforts to contact the legal representatives of both Herbert and Jordan Swilley remained unsuccessful. Sheriff Billy Woods, addressing the community, stated, "In light of Herbert and Jordan's reluctance to further cooperate, we turn to the community, hopeful that someone possesses knowledge instrumental to unraveling this mystery."   Authorities have amplified their plea, urging citizens to recall and report any peculiarities surrounding Smith's activities or insights into the relationship dynamics between Timothy and Herbert. In an effort to stimulate community involvement, a substantial reward of $14,500 is being offered for leads that pave the way to the perpetrator's apprehension.   Recollections from colleagues depict a regular day for Smith on March 23. As reported by Villages-News.com, he attended his duties at Brookdale Chambrel Pinecastle, a reputable assisted living and memory care establishment in Ocala. Alarm bells rang the following day when he uncharacteristically missed work. This culminated in the tragic discovery on March 25th, instigated by an anonymous welfare check request.   Sheriff Woods, speaking to the relentless dedication of his team, shared, "The relentless pursuit of my detectives paints a theory suggesting that this wasn't a random act. The heinous crime seems to be the handiwork of an acquaintance."   Against the backdrop of this investigation, Swilley's social media posts reverberate with expressions of his profound love for Smith. On April 2nd, Swilley's message conveyed an invitation to Smith's memorial, urging attendees to don purple attire, a sentimental nod to their wedding. He reminisced, "Timothy cherished this hue. Our wedding theme revolved around it. He perpetually sported vibrant shades."   Further posts showcased Swilley's poignant commemorations of significant dates. On August 1st, he remembered Smith's would-be 60th birthday, articulating his deep-seated grief and eternal love. By August 8th, he was reminiscing their eight-year journey, expressing hope in Smith's ethereal presence.   Those with insights, even seemingly inconsequential, are encouraged to contact Marion County Crime Stoppers at (352) 368-STOP. The community's hope remains buoyed, awaiting the pivotal tip that could open this complex case. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

"When I was a kid, a little junior baby map addict, it always worried me enormously - Flintshire (detached). Why is it detached? What's wrong with it?" Mike Parker is obsessed by an area of Flintshire called the Maelor. On the map he says it looks like a calloused big toe sticking into the plump ribs of England. Situated slightly south of a line between Wrexham and Whitchurch, it follows few of the expected border rules. And to prove his point, he's taking Miles Warde on a tour, from the Wychbrook to Hanmer and the border post on the strange Fenn's mosses. You'll also hear from a local Welsh language teacher called Dr Cymraeg - aka Stephen Rule - and visit the vicarage where author Lorna Sage grew up. Her most famous book is called Bad Blood.

Arizona conjures up images of desert washes, enormous saguaro cacti with arms stretching to the sky, and endless sunshine regardless of the season. But if you travel north to Flagstaff, the environment changes dramatically. Situated at nearly 7000 feet elevation, Flagstaff is surrounded by Coconino National Forest. The many varieties of evergreen trees in the forest color the area green, even in the winter: spruce, fir, pine, cypress, and juniper – multiple types of each. Snow falls in abundance here, as evidenced by the blizzard of 2023.  From a national park perspective, this area is dominated by the Grand Canyon in many people's minds. But a plethora of other National Park Service sites fill this part of the state.  Nestled on the outskirts of Flagstaff is a pair of national monuments accessed for a single entrance fee. Located seventeen miles apart, Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument and Wupatki National Monument preserve two vastly different worlds: cinder fields versus limestone and sandstone pueblos.  Written by Lauren Eisenberg Davis Hosted by Jason Epperson Sponsored by LLBean www.llbean.com/guide and Campendium www.campendium.com

Medieval books that survive today have been through a lot: singed by fire, mottled by mold, eaten by insects, annotated by readers, cut into fragments, or damaged through well-intentioned preservation efforts. In Holy Digital Grail: A Medieval Book on the Internet (Stanford UP, 2022), Michelle Warren tells the story of one such manuscript—an Arthurian romance with textual origins in twelfth-century England now diffused across the twenty-first century internet. This trajectory has been propelled by a succession of technologies—from paper manufacture to printing to computers. Together, they have made literary history itself a cultural technology indebted to colonial capitalism. Bringing to bear media theory, medieval literary studies, and book history, Warren shows how digital infrastructures change texts and books, even very old ones. In the process, she uncovers a practice of "tech medievalism" that weaves through the history of computing since the mid-twentieth century; metaphors indebted to King Arthur and the Holy Grail are integral to some of the technologies that now sustain medieval books on the internet. This infrastructural approach to book history illuminates how the meaning of literature is made by many people besides canonical authors: translators, scribes, patrons, readers, collectors, librarians, cataloguers, editors, photographers, software programmers, and many more. Situated at the intersections of the digital humanities, library sciences, literary history, and book history, Holy Digital Grail offers new ways to conceptualize authorship, canon formation, and the definition of a "book." Jen Hoyer is Technical Services and Electronic Resources Librarian at CUNY New York City College of Technology. Jen edits for Partnership Journal and organizes with the TPS Collective. She is co-author of What Primary Sources Teach: Lessons for Every Classroom and The Social Movement Archive. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Friday Newsletter |  Daily Gardener Community   Historical Events 1801 William Henry Seward "Sue-erd", an American politician who served as United States Secretary of State from 1861 to 1869, is born. He was also featured in the book by Doris Kearns Goodwin called Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln, in which she wrote about William as a naturalist. He loved his garden. This little passage offers so many insights into William as a nature lover. As a gardener and just to set this up, this is taking place during the civil war when there's a little break in the action for Seward, and he accompanies his wife Frances and their daughter, back to Auburn, New York, where they were planning to spend the summer.  Seward accompanied Frances and Fanny back to Auburn, where they planned to spend the summer. For a few precious days, he entertained old friends, caught up on his reading, and tended his garden. The sole trying event was the decision to fell a favorite old poplar tree that had grown unsound. Frances could not bear to be present as it was cut, certain that she "should feel every stroke of the axe." Once it was over, however, she could relax in the beautiful garden she had sorely missed during her prolonged stay in Washington. Nearly sixty years old, with the vitality and appearance of a man half his age, Seward typically rose at 6 a.m. when first light slanted into the bedroom window of his twenty-room country home. Rising early allowed him time to complete his morning constitutional through his beloved garden before the breakfast bell was rung. Situated on better than five acres of land, the Seward mansion was surrounded by manicured lawns, elaborate gardens, and walking paths that wound beneath elms, mountain ash, evergreens, and fruit trees.  Decades earlier, Seward had supervised the planting of every one of these trees, which now numbered in the hundreds. He had spent thousands of hours fertilizing and cultivating his flowering shrubs. With what he called 'a lover's interest," he inspected them daily.    Then I love what Doris writes next because she's contrasting Seward with Abraham Lincoln in terms of their love of working outside. [Seward's] horticultural passion was in sharp contrast to Lincoln's lack of interest in planting trees or growing flowers at his Springfield home. Having spent his childhood laboring long hours on his father's struggling farm, Lincoln found little that was romantic or recreational about tilling the soil. When Seward "came into the table," his son Frederick recalled, "he would announce that the hyacinths were in bloom, or that the bluebirds had come, or whatever other change the morning had brought."   1809 Martha Ballard recorded her work as an herbalist and midwife. For 27 years, Martha kept a journal of her work as the town healer and midwife for Hallowell, Maine. Today Martha's marvelous journal gives us a glimpse into the plants that she regularly used and how she applied them medicinally. And as for how Martha sourced her plants, she raised them in her garden or foraged for them in the wild. As the village apothecary, Martha found her own ingredients and personally made all of her herbal remedies. Here's what the writer, Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, Wrote about Martha's work back in May of 1809.  Martha's far more expansive record focused on the mundane work of gardening, the daily, incremental tasks that each season exacted.  In May of 1809, she "sowed," "sett," "planted,' and "transplanted" in at least half dozen places, digging ground "west of the hous" on May 15 and starting squash, cucumbers, muskmelons and watermelons on "East side house" the same day.  She planted "by the hogg pen" on May 16 and 18 on May 23 sowed string peas "in the end of my gardin," and on May 26, planted "south of the hous." The plots she defined by the three points of the compass were no doubt raised beds, rich with manure, used for starting seeds in cool weather. The garden proper had a fence, which Ephraim mended on May 12. Whether it included the plot near the "hogg pen," we do not know.  All of these spots, managed by Martha, were distinct from the "field." which Jonathan plowed on May 15, and DeLafayette and Mr. Smith on May 27 and May 31.  Martha's was an ordinary garden, a factory for food and medicine that incidentally provided nourishment to the soul. "I have workt in my gardin, she wrote on May 17, the possessive pronoun the only hint of the sense of ownership she felt in her work.  The garden was hers, though her husband or son or the Hallowell and Augusta Bank owned the land.  "I have squash & Cucumbers come up in the bed East side the house," she wrote on May 22.  The garden was hers because she turned the soil, dropped the seeds, and each year recorded in her diary, as though it had never happened before, the recurring miracle of spring.     1899 Luigi Fenaroli, the great Italian agronomist and botanist, is born. Luigi wrote a flora of the Alps, and he was an expert in forestry, but today we remember him for his work with chestnuts. Luigi wrote two books on chestnuts, and he was passionate about chestnuts as a good source of nutrition - especially for people who've lived in the mountains. Although today, of course, chestnuts are beloved in Italy, as well as other parts of the world. Chestnuts are unique in that they contain very little fat and protein compared to other types of nuts, but they are an excellent source of both carbohydrates and water. There is about a 50-50 ratio there. And so it's not surprising to learn that Roman soldiers were given porridge made of chestnuts before they went into battle. It gave them sustenance, that simple Chestnut porridge. Today chestnuts are known as a superfood. They are healthy and irresistibly tasty. And so they rank near the top of the list for most nutritious snacks.   1905 Herbert Ernest Bates (pen name H. E. Bates), English author, is born. He is remembered for his books Love for Lydia (1952), The Darling Buds of May (1958), and My Uncle Silas (1939). In his book, A Love of Flowers (1971), Herbert wrote, It is wonderful to think that one of the few unbroken links between the civilization of ancient Egypt and the civilization of today is the garden.   Herbert also wrote,  I shut my eyes it returns: the evocation of a whole wood, a whole world of darkness and flowers and birds and late summer silence... more than the mere memory of a wood, the first and the best wood.   Herbert wrote about gardeners. He said, The true gardener, like an artist, is never satisfied.   And he also once wrote this about gardens. Gardens... should be like lovely, well-shaped girls: all curves, secret corners, unexpected deviations, seductive surprises, and then still more curves.   1926 On this day, the state of Kentucky selected the Goldenrod for its Floral Emblem. Prior to 1926, Kentucky's floral emblem had been the Bluegrass (which seems more fitting still today), but Kentucky gardening clubs felt Bluegrass wasn't representative of the whole state.   And here's a fun fact: Alabama and Nebraska also picked the native goldenrod to be the State Flower.   Goldenrod has a lot of haters because many people confuse it for ragweed. I hate to even write that - because it makes people think they must look similar. But that's just not true. Once you see Goldenrod and Ragweed individually - you could never confuse them. Ragweed flowers are green and not eye-catching, while goldenrods are golden and very pretty.   I saw an infographic a few years ago that said,   Goldenrod Warning: if I'm here, so is ragweed. Stay indoors! Achoo!   This is clearly maligning Goldenrod. It might as well say the black-eyed Susans are blooming, so is ragweed. Or the Joe Pye Weed is blooming - and so is ragweed - and so, by the way, are all the late summer bloomers - echinacea, helenium, oriental lily, asters, balloon flowers, sedums, tickseed, autumn crocus, Japanese anemones, blue mist shrub, hydrangeas, the list goes on and on. It's just an issue of timing. The genus name Solidago is taken from the Latin "in solidum ago vulnera" and it means "I make wounds whole." And so it's not surprising to learn that Native Americans and herbalists have long recognized the curative power of goldenrod when it comes to wound care.   Now, If you want to plant some Goldenrod, keep in mind that it is an early autumn bloomer. It's also an important food source for honey bees and makes for a fantastic cut flower.   Finally, the botanical painter Anne Ophelia Todd Dowden once painted the goldenrod and observed, Abundant it may be, but repugnant it is not.    Grow That Garden Library™ Book Recommendation Of Rhubarb and Roses by Tim Richardson This book came out in 2013, and the subtitle is The Telegraph Book of the Garden. Well, this is such a happy and fun book for gardeners in the summertime. I love the cover, which shows a gentleman sleeping on a garden bench with a little golden Tabby cat beneath him. There's also a lawnmower and a wheelbarrow full of produce. There are beautiful garden beds. There's a beautiful garden arbor. And then, of course, there's a newspaper of the daily Telegraph That's laid out on the wheelbarrow, right by the tomatoes and the carrots and the cabbage and so forth. But this is a book that the Telegraph put together, and it is a compilation book - an anthology of garden essays by garden writers And so in this book, you will find fantastic garden essays from the likes of Stephen Lacey, Mary Keen, Helen Yemm, Bunny Guinness, Monty Don,  Rosemary Verey, and the like. Now here's what Tim wrote in the introduction to this book. I'm not sure quite what I was anticipating, but I know it was not diatribes against melon frappé or the best places to find wild chives on the Lizard peninsula. I'm not sure, either, that I was quite ready for the fact that a garden column appeared in the newspaper every single day from the late 1950s on. The result was bulging file after file brought up from the Telegraph's distant archive, each filled to bursting with carefully snipped clippings. Snow, drought, storm, new plants launched, old plants rediscovered, the latest furor at the Chelsea Show - the garden columnist falls upon everything that makes one year different from the last, for with a cyclical subject such as horticulture there is the ever-present danger of repeating oneself. The Telegraph's writers have avoided this for the most part, though I was amused to come across at least four versions of a 'May I introduce you to euphorbias?" piece by the same author. One of the fascinations of gardening is the way the same issues arise year after year while always seeming different, somehow - perhaps because of the vagaries of the seasons.   Thomas walks us through some of the history of garden writing over at the Telegraph. And he concludes with these words. The best writers can achieve this balance between practical advice and lyrical appreciation - in the case of newspapers, all to a strict deadline.  I suppose this theme of writing to order looms large for me today since the deadline for this introduction is suddenly upon me, and I find myself writing during a weekend away. As it happens, the place is Sissinghurst, and the borrowed desk I am sitting at was Vita's, my view through casement windows that of burnished orange echinacea, crimson salvias, clipped yew, and the beatific, wondering smiles of the visitors gliding by. Their expressions make me think,  Does anything in life give as much pleasure as a beautiful garden?' Last night, the white garden at midnight was a revelation. But that is not a subject to be enlarged upon now; I am going to write it up in the next day or two. It will, I hope, become another garden article fit for publication in the pages of the Daily Telegraph. If you like garden writing and you love anthologies, this is the perfect book for you. Personally, I think this is a great summer gift for gardeners because this book has already been out for a decade already -it came out in 2013, and so used copies are readily available on Amazon for a song. But again, this is a beautiful and fun book. One reviewer wrote, [It's] an assorted box of chocolates. I happily skipped between essays by the likes of Vita Sackville-West, Germaine Greer, and Sir Roy Strong, greedily consuming one after the other in quick succession. For those with more restraint, this is a book that promises many hours of savoured delights.   This book is 464 pages of funny and well-informed garden writing dating back to the 1950s. You can get a copy of Of Rhubarb and Roses by Tim Richardson and support the show using the Amazon link in today's show notes for around $2.   Botanic Spark 1861 Jacob Ritner, a Union captain in the civil war, wrote to his wife Emeline. In fact, there's a great book that features all of the letters that he wrote to his wife Emeline during the Civil War, and it's called  Love and Valor: Intimate Civil War Letters Between Captain Jacob and Emeline Ritner by Charles Larimer.   Anyway, I stumbled on this letter that Jacob wrote on this day during the civil war when I was reading an excerpt from a book by DC Gill called How We Are Changed by War. In this excerpt, Gill reveals how soldiers survived the war, not only physically but also mentally, and quotes Kirby Farrell: "To preserve their sanity," writes Kirby Farrell, "soldiers [often] concentrated on a prosthetic "reality" by which to ground themselves" (Farrell 1998, 179).   We already know that the garden is grounding. DC writes that mental images of happy places, like gardens, can mitigate bad environments, such as a war zone. An artificial image of home can substitute for the deficiencies of a present-day environment in a war zone. It allows soldiers to mentally project themselves into a more comforting geography. Soldiers' letters repeatedly ask for details to furnish these environments of the mind. "Now Emeline dear," writes Union Captain Jacob Ritner on May 16, 1861, "you must write me a great long letter next Sunday.. .. Tell me all the news, how the trees grow, the garden and grass, what everybody says"   The power of the garden to anchor us extends past space and time, and even merely thinking of our gardens can lift our spirits and calm our worries.   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener And remember: For a happy, healthy life, garden every day.
