The Original Transplants Podcast Episode 52: Shelter at Homestead

The Original Transplants Podcast Episode 52 begins with covid-19 pandemic well-wishes from Satoyama Homestead stewards Will and Sarah. Sarah shares highlights from a list of more than fifty homestead plants and other products that are documented to promote wellness in the context of coronavirus symptoms and co-morbid conditions. Household preparedness can be as simple as resprouting the trimmings from store-bought produce for a continuous harvest (see Mother Earth News note). Will details preparations for spring bee package installations in the apiary, and the stewards ponder the impact of pandemic shelter-at-home orders on the road kill supply for carrion scavenger species. We explore homestead chores and fun, including pollinating our peach trees by hand with chicken feathers.

The Original Transplants Podcast Episode 51: "Resisting the Urge to Prune"

Will and Sarah respond to listener feedback about sharing bad news by sharing more bad news: the beehives are deadouts. The chickens are laying again and Will recounts a recent hawk attack and close call for hen Kentucky. In the edible landscape, Sarah is resisting the urge to prune all the woody vines, trees and berry canes; she is staying busy with seed auditing and seed orders for 2020 and baking quiches with fresh eggs and dried veggies. Lancaster News shares a research update on bioengineered microbes to fight deformed wing virus (DWV) and varroa mites in honeybees.

The Original Transplants Podcast Episode 49 "Thanksgiving and Conspiracy Theories" The Original Transplants begin this episode with reflecting on what we are thankful for and winter apiary news, including the bees' surprising preference for another homestead critter's feed; then, we discuss supportive therapies for a chicken experiencing moult-related Mycoplasma-S complications. Updates from the last fruit harvests on the edible landscape and seasonal homestead chores, along with hunting and food preservation / canning. Then during agricultural news, Sarah makes a surprising connection between state public land leases in New Mexico and Jeffrey Epstein's alleged transhumanist eugenics project using articles from Lancaster Farming and New York Times.
