"Individual Sovereignty Starts with a Seed" First what's going on in Germany, many are talking about the flu hoax as people there are healthier than they have been in years, and the 20 below crazy weather. Being prepared: In 2008 the G8 was talking about financial problems, now the topic is the edge of the food crises. Individual sovereignty is the way to go, in this hour, more about growing our own food, the un-obvious about potatoes, a warning to heed, how to grow them and store them up to six months, sprout inhibitors in store bought potatoes and the effects of irradiation. Sweet Potatoes are popular on holidays but there are very good reasons why would you should include them in your garden, and saving seeds for the next year. How much wheat do you have to grow to make a one pound loaf of bread? Winter projects, dreaming up the design of your garden, placing it where you'll see it every day and observe changes. Julia's daily touch make his plants do better! Don't forget about flowers that bring the bees, with the right flowers you can make them come to *your* garden. Tobacco growing (even if you don't smoke) and much more next time!

"The Magic of Findhorn" Joining our preparedness series, it is lovely that Russell's first interview in the USA is here at BTO! He was determined to come to our studio to meet us, hydroplaning down I-5 in the rain storm, "but that was no problem because I used to be a surfer down in California so that was cool with me." And when he and his daughter Julia arrived the sun came with them. About him as a teenager falling in love with horticulture. The Findhorn Garden captured him, "and I fell in love with this idea that there is something behind the plants out there in the garden that we don't see." He plans to go visit Sepp Holzer, another man with great education who trusts learning from experience rather than books and rules. From the Seattle area where he worked growing tropical plants, (a fancy name for house plants!) and in spite of it being a scary move for him, he spent three years living at the base of a volcano in Indonesia helping to develop the fabulous gardens which includes California Redwoods growing alongside the palm trees! "Species and genetics, all these concepts we have about plants, it's all man made... we don't know really where plants originated, there's just so much we don't know about the genetic history of plants." He knew of RSE, but when he found BTO he discovered there was more to it than reading books and became a student. In this series we will learn about the traditional as well as the "occult" forgotten knowledge of horticulture, propagation to make more plants, making your own hybrids, tubers, harvesting seeds, storing seeds (with no experience you are in for a big surprise) and enjoying the product of your labor, such as making sweet potato chips that are out of this world! "All these things are easy to do, not obvious, but it's simple." |

Russell Leon, a Professional Horticulturist, was inspired to start gardening as a teenager after reading "The Magic of Findhorn" by Paul Hawken. While keeping an eye out for the unseen forces in the garden he quickly realized that working close to the earth was his passion, even if he hadn't met any nature spirits or "Divas"... yet. After finishing up two degrees in horticulture he left California to work in the Seattle area growing tropical plants.
