We’re finally into the swing of summer here in Texas. It’s hot, it’s humid…there’s not much deviation from here until late September. In this episode I cover finally getting the vegetable beds into a good state once again as well as thinking about switching focus to the flower beds for a few weeks. Enjoy! Music: […]
Ep. 1-14: Summer Garden Journal 1 | Floods + Staying Sane
For the summer I’m opting for Summer Garden Journals on the podcast. As we all know it can be quite difficult to stay on top of the garden when the growing season is in full swing and I think these summer garden journals will be a great way to chronicle what’s going on here in […]
Ep. 1-13: The Wonder of Beginning | Mandy Steward
It was the fall of 2010 and I was fresh off the Appalachian Trail with my husband and came across Mandy Steward via a mutual friend. I was itching to reinvigorate my creativity after many months of hiking and here was this artist whose words spoke to me. I’ve been a fan of her work […]
Ep. 1-12: Starting from Scratch | NorCalKatie
When I finally joined Twitter in mid-2011 it took me awhile to get the hang of it, finding people to chat with. What I eventually discovered was a rich gardening community that I connected with. Katie was one of those people that I found and over the years we’ve chatted about gardening and other random […]
Ep. 1-11: Landscaping Outside the Box | Leanne Tarleton
Howdy! In this episode I spoke with a local gardener here in Houston! I’ve been wanting to reach out to some local folks to get their take on gardening in coastal Texas where things can get hot and humid for months at a time. Leanne Tarleton gardens in The Woodlands township, a unique community that […]
Ep. 1-10: Spring Garden Update | April 2016
It’s spring! I sat down with my husband Chris to do another garden round up. We last talked together was for Episode 3 where we did a similar round up for our plans heading into spring. Our conversation started with bats (with a banshee cat in the background) and wrapped up on a discussion about […]
Ep. 1-9: Becoming a Naturalist | Erin Gettler
In today’s episode I talk to naturalist, artist, gardener, and soon-to-be author, Erin Gettler. Erin is based out of Long Island and writes at The Familiar Wilderness when she’s not having a big year in projects, like she had in 2015! We talked about a variety of topics, ranging from her naturalist beginnings, being a […]
Ep. 1-7: At Home on the Prairie| Elizabeth
This podcast was a fun one to do and I’m willing to bet Elizabeth will be on the show again in the future. Elizabeth and I are second cousins but up until 2008 or 2009 we didn’t know each other existed. Maybe in some kind of out there way, but our mother’s had been out […]
Ep. 1-6: Communicating Ecology through Art| Leigh Martin
I’m so excited to share this interview with y’all! Leigh and I were able to rerecord the podcast we attempted a few weeks ago and I’m so glad we did! Leigh is an Urban Forester by profession but a passionate knitter who works to communicate her love for the natural world through her craft. She […]
Ep. 1-5: Adjusting Gardening Expectations & What’s Growing in January
So. I had a big fail this week! I sat down and recorded a podcast with my internet friend Leigh. Unfortunately I had issues getting both sides of the conversation to record! I thought about trying to make it work but in the end Leigh and I both decided it would be better to just […]
