They studied writing and art history at Ithaca College, and received their MFA in Creative Writing with a concentration in Writing for Children from The New School. Formerly a full-time Assistant Professor of Composition and Director of the Writing Center at CNR, they oversaw the Freshman Writing Program and taught creative writing. After CNR officially ceased academic operations in August of 2019, they began teaching part time at Pace University and Westchester Community College. They also volunteer at The LOFT (an LGBTQ+ resource center in White Plains, New York) where they facilitate a creative writing workshop. As an educator, Steven is passionate about progressive activism on and off campus and advocating for young people. Steven currently lives in Peekskill, New York, with their amazingly patient husband, whose name is also Steve. Today, we're talking about the anti-climactic free fall into nothing that is debuting during a pandemic, coming to terms with an author's lack of control, and the gift of closure in such uncertain times. I had such a great time talking with Steven two months post their debut and one month post my own and I felt so validated by our conversation. They reminded me that even though it feels like something has come to an end, we're actually at the beginning of, hopefully, very long careers, and that it's important to keep your eyes on the horizon, even in the midst of life's storms.

If more than 25% of the tree’s foliage or mass must be removed, seek the assistance of a certified arborist. Solution 2 — When the infestation is in the trunk of the tree, call an arborist to evaluate the damage and determine a safe approach to halting the infestation. Solution 3 — Prevent infestations by keeping your trees healthy. When you hear about an outbreak in your area, treat your trees with a bark insecticidal spray to deter the insects from making your tree its host. Tar spots Tar spot on maple and sycamore is not actually "tar" on the leaves, but rather a fungal disease. These diseases seldom are detrimental to the overall health of infected trees.Tar spots may cause premature defoliation but are not known to kill trees. Tar spots on maples are caused by fungi in the genus Rhytisma. Symptoms first appear in late spring or early summer as infected leaves develop light green or yellow-green spots. During mid to late summer, black tar-like raised structures are formed on the upper surface of leaves within the yellow spots Compacted soil Problem: In our yards, trees often grow in compacted soil. ◦Our yard is our backyard getaway. We run, play, walk, and enjoy our yard constantly. ◦All that foot traffic, along with lawn mowers and construction projects, creates soil compaction. Plus, major soil compaction occurred when your house was built, so if your home is newer, it’s likely you’ll see this problem. ◦Compacted soil leads to stressed soil, crushed root, and restricted root growth. Solutions: Loosen the soil to reduce compaction and stress on trees. ◦Vertical mulching replaces soil in the root zone. ◦Mix in organic matter to amend compacted soil. Dutch elm disease Fungal disease Carried by bark beetles and then once the trees “vascular” system is infected, the disease moves around How to manage Dutch elm disease •Reduce the number of breeding sites available to the beetles through prompt removal of dead or dying elm wood with intact bark. ◦Branches infected with DED should be removed the same year the infection starts. ◦Trees with many branches infected with DED should be taken down. ◦Wood from DED infected elm trees should be buried, debarked, burned or chipped. •Remove infected branches before the disease has moved into the main stem of the tree. All infected branches must be removed at least 5 feet, preferably 10 feet, below the last sign of streaking in the sapwood. •Dutch elm disease can spread through root grafts from an infected tree to adjacent healthy elms. If possible, sever root grafts with a vibratory plow before the infected tree is removed in order to prevent this movement. •Choose Dutch elm disease resistant cultivars for new plantings or as replacement trees. ◦Tolerant cultivars are not immune to the disease and may develop wilt if infected. ◦Unlike susceptible trees, tolerant elms can block the spread of the pathogen and will not be killed. ◦Infected branches should be pruned out as described above.

In segment four Joey and Holly answer garden questions I have a small tomato patch and many of the tomatoes are cracking before they get red ? Is there something I can do to help it .Thanks Thanks Jim A: Thank you for the question cracking can occur for 2 reasons. 1 it can be the genetics of that particular variety of tomatoes secondly and more commonly cracking occurs when there's an inconvenience of moisture in the soil when there's too much water the tomato will grow rapidly and outgrow its skin which causes the cracking then a dry spell occurs causing the tomato not to grow as fast. To answer the question the cracking of the tomato would simply be regular watering or consistent moisture in the soil so the plant has adequate amounts to pick up and grow correctly. A friend has some tomatoes that look good on the top are but are going brown on the bottom before they are red even when they are hanging Any idea why my Yukon Gold potatoes have a darkened hollow center? This has happened the past several years. I am in Southeast Wisconsin Hollow heart occurs because of uneven amounts of moisture during tuber development or a combination of other environmental factors. Hollow heart, sometimes called brown heart or sugar center, is found everywhere potatoes are grown and occurs when there is an abrupt change in growing conditions. Can I just let the plants spread the seeds on the ground and let them or onions come up that's what I want to know I love your podcast. I planted several kinds of pole beans. The purple ones have rust, but the neighboring beans don't seem to be affected. Is this common? How do I prevent this from happening again? How do I sanitize seeds before planting? I save my own seeds. Keep up the good work!
