Original Transplants

Episode 17 of the Original Transplants podcast features homestead stewards Sarah and Will discussing their preparations for the 2016 beekeeping season, breaking a broody hen, transplanting cool weather crops and starting warm weather vegetable seedlings, witnessing the spring bud break, planting chestnut trees, stacking mushroom logs, and managing invasives like garlic mustard and multiflora rose. We also discuss recent agricultural news from Lancaster Farming on the topics of eastern hardwood forests' drought and fire susceptibility, seed libraries, local distilleries, Monsanto sales, and rabies.
