Angela Ferraro Fanning built and runs the Axe and Root Homestead in New Jersey. After suffering from postpartum depression, Angela wanted to remove herself from modern day hustle culture and return to nature, growing as much of her own food as possible. She grew from her own private garden to a fully functioning farm, and shares the empowerment that comes along with homesteading with our audience today. Sitting down with Emma and Mary in this follow-up to her original episode “Homesteading is What You Make It”, we catch up with Angela's progress in running her farm a few years later after she was certified as a permaculturist by Cornell University. Angela shares insights about the evolution of her farm, managing a variety of plants and animals, and implementing permaculture principles into her lifestyle. She talks about publishing her books “The Sustainable Homestead” and the “Little Homesteader” series , growing protein-rich crops as a vegetarian, and raising a family on a farm.

I loved talking to Marianna Rappou, an agonomist, landscape architect and author of 100 Plants to Grow in Your Garden. Marianna lives in Greece and is also a podcaster. She teaches her listeners how to grow a beautiful garden! In this podcast she gives great advice to encourage people who say they can't grow plants. She tells them to think of it as an adventure and to keep trying new techniques. Marianna is right when she says that we grow with the plants we are growing. One day the two of us will plan a Floral Retreat in Greece. If you're interested to learn gardening tips and floral design in Greece , we hope you will join us! It will be an incredible learning adventure. Follow/connect with Marianna on Instagram @mariannarappou

His latest project has been to develop the 100 or so acres around his home in Dorset into a haven for insects, that features unusual, even magical elements such as a giant fibreglass dragon, a replica of a Saxon longhouse that is home to a huge bog oak sculpture, a temple dedicated to ravens and a giant's chair.

It's officially summer, meaning that many of you might be spending a lot of time in the front or backyard, caring for your lawn. There are many different ways to go about lawncare, some of which require more resources than others, like water, fertilizers, and pesticides. But there are also more eco-friendly sustainable ways to grow a lawn. Michele Bakacs and Amy Rowe, Rutgers associate professors and extension agents, join to give us tips for lawncare and take your calls and questions. Here are some sustainable landscaping resources that our guests shared with us: Rutgers Organic Land Care website Frequently Asked Questions About Native Plants National Wildlife Federation Keystone Plants by Ecoregion Supporting Bees in Your Garden and on Your Farm Incorporating Native Plants Into Your Residential Landscape Don't guess!

Hey, y'all! Join me on the porch today for a chat about wards, what they have to do with boundaries, and other practical lessons from our little farm. This land has assuredly given me some valuable lessons, but one of these I wasn't prepared for: diligent weeding lessens the need for strident warding! As with any other witchcraft lesson, it's all in the balance—and anything warded up too tight can suffocate vibrant growth. Careful research can often lessen the need for formidable wards, which is a good thing in both the Craft and gardening. After all, if we know the risks, we can make better choices! Snuggle in—this one is a bit long.
