Roots, Shoots and Leaves

Roots, Shoots and Leaves' DJ Tree has a theory of music that involves a tree. Suffice it to say that it involves a trinity — an exploration of themes and connections among recording artists — and otherwise very few boundaries. Listen for music old and new, known and unknown. And if you listen long enough, you may experience some musical enlightenment.

Live Tuesday 6-8pm

Replays Saturday 5-7pm

Davis Garden Show, Sept. 16, 2021, Brassicas -- a one-plant wonder

Thu, 09/16/2021 - 12:00pm | Don Shor

Brassicas.jpg

'Tis a time of CHANGE! Weather is cooler, season is later ... For some folks, it's time to cut down the cucumber vines and plant some brassicas. For others (like Don), there are still tomatoes ripening to harvest into October. What's your plan for a winter garden? Now is a good time to plant peas, lettuce, brassicas, and other cool seaon vegetablees. You can also plan to put "cover crops" on the portion of your summer garden that you don't plan to plant for the winter -- to keep down weeds and improve your soil.

pothos-400x518-from-ad.jpg

Today's topics:

Tomato problems this year
Water needed for growing food is more than water needed to just grow foliage
Almond trees
Nematodes -- what are they and what to do if you have them
House plants that are, and are not, easy to grow
Don recommends for new gardeners: Golden pothos (and relatives), Easy ZZ, and Snakeplant (Sanserveria)
Growing trees indoors
Ficus benjamina = flexible about lighting, but fussy when you move it.
Is it too late to plant tomatos? Pepper? Pumpkins? YES, those get planted in the spring to be HARVESTED in the fall.
Now is the time to start planning (and planting) your winter garden! (More details next show.)

The Folk Brothers for Sept. 8, 2021: Folk musicians strike back

Wed, 09/08/2021 - 11:10am | Peter Schiffman

Unknown.jpeg

Many Folk/Americana musicians -- like those featured on today's show -- have never shied away from calling out hypocrisy and injustice. Jackson Brown has long championed the anti-war movement. Iris DeMent (pictured here) advocates for women's rights. And Jason Isbell has challenged the intolerance and ignorance of many country music fans: recently he has advocated for proof of vaccinations to attend his live perfromances. Also on today's show, new music from Spiers and Boden, Adam Holmes, The Faux Paws, and a 50-year-old classic track from Lindisfarne.

Davisville, Sept. 6, 2021: Latest effort to reduce homelessness in Davis is taking shape on H Street

Mon, 09/06/2021 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

Pauls Place illustration.png

A firm number is hard to come by, but there are probably at least 200 homeless people in Davis. Paul's Place is the latest resource to help them get off the street. It will offer tiny apartments, transitional housing, and services, and it replaces an old, former house where Davis Community Meals and Housing has been offering help for more than 20 years.

On today's Davisville, DCMH Executive Director Bill Pride talks about Paul's Place, why it's named for his dad, the current state of homelessness in town, the effect of the pandemic, and a few insights he's learned over the years while seeking to help the homeless in Davis.

Masks, personas and music, on Listening Lyrics

Fri, 09/03/2021 - 4:00pm | Pieter Pastoor

mask. n.jpg

Covid started and we ended up wearing masks. I really never owned a mask before but now I have a box of them in the house and many more in my car. So of course I had to do a show on masks -- not only the type I have in my box, but the masks we wear to present ourselves to the world or to hide behind.

Great songs will take us on the musical journey of masks.
