Podcast No. 28: A peculiar potato problem

Brunette Gardens Podcast ·

2023/05/18

Let me tell you a weird story about our cat. We had some problems with water seeping through our basement walls. When this happens, the water is muddy. Even if you clean it up, it leaves a very fine silt behind. One place that ended up having a pretty thick layer was behind the furnace. It was out of the way and hard to get to, so it just sort of built up. We fixed our gutters and created a water garden in the backyard. Our roof runoff fills some drums, and then when they overflow, it runs out to

As of today, all five chicks are still alive. So, yeah, we haven’t garnered any losses yet, and the chicks look… healthy. Happy, even. They run around playing games with the “treats” I give them, with beet peels and red pepper bits standing out as apparent favorites. This is a public episode.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.brunettegardens.comMy father is a very handy man. He’s the type of guy who sees a brick patio and thinks, “I could do that.” And then he figures out how to do it. And then actually does it. And it looks awesome. As his son, it is both heartening to see what can be done and discouraging when you see how often your attempts at doing something awesome falls short. But as my grandfather used to say, “It’s good enuf fer who it’s fer.” It

I first heard about making homemade toothpaste back in high school, from a science teacher named John McCullough. “Commercial toothpaste is a scam,” he declared, and then he broke down the science behind why you could get at least the same or maybe even better results if you simply took hydrogen peroxide and baking soda, mixed them together into a paste, and used that to brush your teeth instead. He assigned this little craft experiment to all of us enrolled in his freshman Introduction to Physical

Podcast No. 24: Mountain mint and hyssop 'licorice'

Brunette Gardens Podcast ·

2023/04/13

I’m so full of enthusiasm for these two beautiful herbs that I hardly know how to start talking about them. They tick just about every box on the list! What are they? American mountain mint, or Pycnanthemum pilosum (above left)Anise hyssop, or Agastache foeniculum (above right) This is a public episode.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.brunettegardens.comWe’ve latched onto the idea of “permaculture,” drawn to the movement’s emphasis on independence through a garden stocked with human-use plants. So rather than only enjoying the sight and smell of the spring season’s plethora of petals, we challenge ourselves to make use of them as well.

Podcast No. 22: Grow up!

2023/03/30

There’s a new trend on TikTok. Mercy. I wrote that sentence, and I realized that is the modern equivalent of “Scientists recently…”. It’s that sentence that you know is going to end badly. Or as someone put it to me once, “If you only watch the first act of the movie, the new scientific discovery works out just fine!” This is a public episode.

2023/02/16

It’s fitting that I first learned about the subject of this season’s giveaway through another… giveaway. That one was over at Permies.com, an online permaculture community where I spend a fair amount of time researching, reading, and contributing. I did not win that giveaway, but Kate Downham’s book A Year in an Off-Grid Kitchen: Homestead Kitchen Skills and Real Food Recipes for Resilient Health caught my attention enough to warrant immediate purchase. I’ve been her fan ever since. Affiliate link

He is more in the top-tier amateur. He lost his most famous bout against Andrew Pi even after he broke his opponent’s arm with a kick! So, he is never going to appear on TV in a million-dollar MMA fight.

Brunette Gardens Podcast ·

2023/01/05

It had been about a billion years since Anthony and I took a road trip. Sure, back in our footloose-and-fancy free youth, we frequently engaged in this great American pastime. I’ve made more than one trip from the Midwest to Key West and back, and once a bunch of girlfriends and I piled into a van and trekked to the Grand Canyon via Route 66, our Thelma-and-Louise gal-pal sojourn, minus the tragic ending. Anthony’s longest round trip was between his mom’s house in Oregon and college stomping grounds

Mary was a VP at Wizards of the Coast, in charge of the “publishing line.” This meant that novels, roleplaying games, and magazines were under her. This was a sweet little business that was worth somewhere in the region of $20 million per year. But she was part of a company that had an ongoing game,

My grandfather was a dairy farmer. When my family went to visit him, we would inevitably end up helping him with the farm. Sometimes we would mend fences, or herd cattle, or feed cattle, or milk. It depended on what needed to be done, and (it being a farm) something always needed to be done. Very often, as we were coming close to finishing a job, my grandfather would intone, “gednuff fer oo es fur.” My grandfather had an Oklahoma accent that was further conflated with a Midwestern accent and then
