Better Lawns and Gardens Hour 2 – Coming to you from Summit Responsible Solutions Studios, Garden expert Teresa Watkins answers questions and provides advice on planting, pruning, growing vegetables, landscape design, and pest problems. Teresa interviews the delightful, down to earth, down home, retired Extension Horticulture Specialist from the University of Tennessee. Carol Reese is a nationally-known speaker, who blends gardening knowledge, natural lore, and her quirky humor to educate and explain horticulture to her audiences. A columnist in several newspapers and a writer for gardening magazines, Carol “attributes her love of horticulture to being raised on a farm by generations of plant nuts, including a grandfather who dynamited his garden spot each spring to “break up his hard pan.” It was very cathartic to listen to Carol’s blend of instinctive and academic philosophy, Dirty Word of the Day is fenestration. Garden questions and texts include update on North Florida weather, apple varieties for the Tampa area, agreement with Carol Reese, gardenia dead branches, how to transplant a tree, fertilizing, invasives, and more. https://bit.ly/3c1f5x7

Better Lawns and Gardens Hour 1 – Coming to you from Summit Responsible Solutions Studios. Garden expert, Teresa Watkins interviews Pungky Pratama, Founder and Executive Director of the Sumatra Nature & Biodiversity Conservation Foundation in Sumatra, Indonesia. Pungky tells why his island’s flora and fauna is rapidly being lost to theft and development. Sumatra is well known as a biodiversity hotspot, home to some of the world's rarest animals and plant species like the Raffesia arnoldii. More than 350 species of Sumatra’s Orchids, Nepenthes, Hoya, Aroids, Begonias, and many more of their native plants can be grown in Florida’s climate. This is the only place where tigers, elephants, rhinos, and orangutans live together. But these magnificent creatures are disappearing as their forest homes are rapidly being cut down to make way for plantations or illegal logging. Rampant poaching also poses a grave threat to the survival of the island's endangered species.
In 2017, Pungky Pratama and a colleague created an environmental education program together called “The Jungle Library Project” as a part of the Sumatra Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Foundation. This project focuses on raising awareness to a younger generation attending schools located in areas of high deforestation and human-wildlife conflict at the border of Isau-Isau Wildlife Reserve, South Sumatra. This vitally important program needs your financial support to continue their education efforts. Please consider a one-time donation of $1, $5, $10, or whatever you can provide. Follow Pungky on Facebook to see his incredible photographs of Sumatra flora and fauna posted daily.

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.

Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and caldron bubble. Cool it with a baboon's blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.

"Vegetables are a culinary term, not a botanical term. Vegetables are parts of plants that are consumed by humans or other animals as food. The original meaning is still commonly used and is applied to plants collectively to refer to all edible plant matter, including the flowers, fruits, stems, leaves, roots, and seeds. The alternate definition of the term is applied somewhat arbitrarily, often by culinary and cultural tradition. It may exclude foods derived from some plants that are fruits, flowers, nuts, and cereal grains, but include savoury fruits such as tomatoes and courgettes, flowers such as broccoli, and seeds such as pulses."
