Podcast appearances and mentions of tom christopher

Apologizes for last weeks podcast not being uploaded. We had some technically difficulties. But all is good moving forward. It's Monday and not only is it National Bologna Day (thanks Audrey), but it's also time for another weekly podcast. We'll talk about the Highwaymen tribute shows going on and the comments about it, if only they took that show to the mainland. Also new music, in fact, a new compilation CD my from my brother Fitz. 10 track CD that are available for purchase from the artists featured on the CD. And ALL proceeds from the sale of this CD will go towards Tom Christopher. He's a childhood friend of Dave and grew up in Bay Roberts and spent time in Toronto. Doesn't play or sing but can write songs like no tomorrow. Tom has 7 brain tumors and cancer in other areas and so this is dedicated to him and all sales to him and his family. Other new music tonight from Gary Wells and Cyril Ingram. They've come together to write, arrange and sing these songs you'll hear tonight. Also talk about an amazing singer/songwriter who is opening up for Shanda at The Ship pub in St. John's on November 4th. Plus chat about my week away in Cuba last week. Want to go back. So lots going on and hope you can tune in Monday Nights at 8PM ET on CKWR 98.5FM

Tim Schipper, owner and founder of ColorBlends gives us the low down on bulbs-- what the 'blends' are, ideas on how to keep them coming back or not to worry if they don't and planting times. ColorBlends is my favorite bulb source and I just love how you get a brown scaly golf ball in fall and it becomes a magical flower a few short months later. The Plant of the Week is the Big Leafed Magnolia, whose offspring are blowing around in my yard right now like sails, and in The Play List we talk about bulb placement tips and leaving the leaves-- not just for habitat, but for soil enrichment, as I heard on Tom Christopher's conversation with Eric Fleisher of F2 Environmental Design December 1 podcast.

The color that most Oak Leaf Hydrangea leaves turn this time of year reminds me of a fine red wine sipped by the fire, so that means it has to be the Plant of the Week. You are going to be charmed by Lizzie Fox, a young woman in Norwich, England, who is turning seed shopping a shiny, beautiful and new direction, and other details include pruning hydrangeas, watering chores (at this time of year? maybe...) and the Brooklyn Bridge Park, as listened to Rebecca McMackin on Tom Christopher's Growing Greener pod.

Plant of the Week is Persicaria (00:40); good info from recent gardening podcasts such at ticks from Tom Christopher's Growing Greener (5:02), Nature and Gardening from Margaret Roach's A Way to Garden (9:49); and the Joe Gardener Show's discussion National Gardening Association's Annual Survey (14:18). I also touch on why we use Latin in gardening and some timely gardening tips. Into the Garden with Leslie is now available on Podchaser. S95v0UUWGdYdRxLsnKb2

The plants of the week are the Hemlock and the River Birch (both natives). This week's interview is with Horticulturist Kelly D. Norris about his latest book New Naturalism. The Play List talks about early perennial division and Tom Christopher's podcast Growing Greener

We can look at great gardens as works of art being delighted purely by the visuals or we can dig a bit deeper as we tour these landscapes and look for clues on how to become great gardeners ourselves. Now... Read More ›
