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

'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.

That's Life: Plants from San Diego

In August 2021, Lois stayed in San Diego (California) for 2 weeks.  Lots of great things there to enjoy, including walking in Balboa Park!  There were many beautiful flowers -- both in the Botanical  House (see photo) and in people's front yards.  After getting back home, Lois asked Don Shor (a plant expert and former resident of San Diego) what each plant was and if she could grow those San Diego flowers here in Davis.  The answer -- as usual -- was "It depends."  In this case, "It depends upon which species it is and whether or not that one can withstand cold."  

We also talked about why there are so many dead tree stumps on the San Diego hillsides and why there were dead orchards and vineyards along the freeway in the southern San Joaquin Valley.

 

The Folk Brothers for Sept. 15, 2021: ISHILA and Red Meat

In advance of their outdoor show at The Fireside Lounge in Alameda this Sunday (Sept. 19), we played tracks from the most recent albums of I See Hawks In LA and Red Meat. Also this week: new music from Graham Rorie, Sam Kelly and The Lost Boys, Kyle Ledson, and Long Haul Paul.

Stream in for the music and stay for some fun facts, such as: Why did Orcadians make up the majority of the employees of The Hudson Bay Company, and how did a Bluebird travel more than 300 mph over Coniston Water in 1967?
