Suzy Buttress Interview, The Learning Garden, Straw Bale Gardening
This week I get into my year at the Learning Garden, have a great chat with Suzy Buttress of The Casual Birder Podcast, and I review a couple of books on Straw Bale Gardening. I have to apologize, near the end of the Podcast accidentally called Patrina Small by the name Patricia.
After speaking with Suzy Buttress I was still unable to work out the hawk that made an unscheduled appearance in the podcast, but in the process I did stumble onto All About Birds. Its linked to the Cornell Universities Merlin App database. Here is a link to her appearance on the Hummingbirds Episode of the Varmints Podcast.
Here are the birds mentioned in the interview care of All About Birds.
- Collared Doves
- White Winged Pigeons
- Sharp Shinned Hawk
- Coopers Hawk
- Morning Dove
- Black Phoebe
- Californian Towhee
And here are some links to other things mentioned in the interview.
- Humming Bird Calls
- Structural Color
- Aotearoa's extinct bird calls

Wrapping up the podcast I review the following books.

Interview with Sebastian Cocioba of New York Botanics LLC
For week 44 of the gardening year I’m interviewing a longtime friend of mine Sebastian Cocioba owner of New York Botanics LLC and atinygreencell on Instagram. Sebastian is a “bio hacker” who’s goal is to increase the general level of education about Genetics technologies.
A few things. First, I’ve tweaked the show format, moving to a single segment a week. Trying to squeeze in three segments every episode just wasn’t possible with the current demands on my time. I also apologize that there was no Week 43, I had been out with a minor back injury and producing that week was clobbered by my return to work. The audio quality bounces around just a little bit, I have to replace a piece of equipment so hopefully I’ll have this resolved in time for the next show.
