Well that 01:34.500 --> 01:37.466 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5% will be a treat won't it. I need to, but I 01:37.566 --> 01:41.633 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% think we've good responses because 01:41.733 --> 01:43.800 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% you ask people to share photographs of their 01:43.900 --> 01:47.966 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% garden. And you call em the gardens of the week. I 01:48.066 --> 01:51.233 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% think it's kind of, you try not to be, 01:51.333 --> 01:53.833 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% you don't show favoritism. You just choose a random 01:53.933 --> 01:56.200 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% kind of selection. Is that right? 01:56.300 --> 01:59.700 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% You are correct. So this is the time when I say we 01:59.800 --> 02:02.400 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% can take a virtual field trip across the state, 02:02.500 --> 02:04.433 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% sometimes out of our state's borders to 02:04.533 --> 02:06.933 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% neighboring states and see what folks are doing 02:07.033 --> 02:10.266 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% in their own yards and gardens. You are right we 02:10.366 --> 02:13.166 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% received far more than we can show on the air. So what 02:13.266 --> 02:16.300 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% we do show is just a random sampling. By no 02:16.400 --> 02:19.433 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% means is it showing any sort of favoritism and we 02:19.533 --> 02:21.700 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% do encourage people to go to our Facebook page and 02:21.800 --> 02:24.733 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% see all of the garden photos that are submitted. 02:24.833 --> 02:29.566 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% So let's get started. I'm going to go to Charleston 02:29.666 --> 02:32.400 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Vicki Burckhardt sent in this photograph of a 02:32.500 --> 02:36.366 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% green Anole perched atop a zenia. And you know I 02:36.466 --> 02:40.400 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% love critters. So this is a favorites to 02:40.500 --> 02:43.966 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% see. Then we're going to travel to Aiken and 02:44.066 --> 02:47.166 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% look at a patio garden submission by Kathy 02:47.266 --> 02:50.800 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% McNeil. So I liked this. It shows you can garden 02:50.900 --> 02:53.000 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% anywhere. I think that this person has a lot of 02:53.100 --> 02:56.866 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% space but also chose to embellish the patio as 02:56.966 --> 02:59.866 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% well. Going to Murrells Inlet 02:59.966 --> 03:03.300 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% for this one we need to have smell that can come 03:03.400 --> 03:06.233 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% through the technology waves. Julie DeBalfo sent 03:06.333 --> 03:09.033 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% in a picture of her gardenia that looks very 03:09.133 --> 03:12.166 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% healthy and I can only imagine that sweet 03:12.266 --> 03:14.866 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% intoxicating fragrance that must happen as you 03:14.966 --> 03:18.400 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% walk by. Bob and Marsha Hamlin are 03:18.500 --> 03:20.366 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% in Appling, Georgia. They're quite the 03:20.466 --> 03:23.566 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% naturalists and send lots of photos to us. So this 03:23.666 --> 03:27.400 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% week we've included one of a common Buckeye on 03:27.500 --> 03:31.433 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the New Jersey tea plant. Well those for a lot of 03:31.533 --> 03:34.833 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% fun. And Terasa, you know our friend Penelope 03:34.933 --> 03:38.800 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Penn who sends wonderful photographs sometimes, 03:38.900 --> 03:42.400 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% this is very interesting I think, she 03:42.500 --> 03:47.300 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% saw and quickly snapped a picture of a brown Anole 03:47.400 --> 03:51.566 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% which is an invasive lizard from Cuba and the 03:51.666 --> 03:53.566 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% she sent it to the state herpetologist 03:53.666 --> 03:56.500 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and it's the first documentation of that in 03:56.600 --> 04:00.833 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% South Carolina. And they are like many things that 04:00.933 --> 04:04.866 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% have come here, it is not very well behaved and it 04:04.966 --> 04:08.566 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% seems to be out competing and causing 04:08.666 --> 04:11.300 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% problems for those beautiful green Anole 04:11.400 --> 04:13.666 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that we all love so dearly. So that was kind 04:13.766 --> 04:16.866 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% of a sad thing to hear about. That is but 04:16.966 --> 04:20.300 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% wonderful that she was able to document that and 04:20.400 --> 04:22.566 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% thought enough and sent it to the herpetologist. 04:22.666 --> 04:26.200 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% So now we can document it. It's great sort of that 04:26.300 --> 04:29.200 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% first line of citizen science going on. It is. 04:29.300 --> 04:31.833 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% There are a lot of people out there especially now 04:31.933 --> 04:35.500 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% paying a lot of attention to everything around them. 04:35.600 --> 04:39.000 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% Yes. Very good. Well, Terasa, I think 04:39.100 --> 04:42.466 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% tonight Sean Flynn our producer has assembled 04:42.566 --> 04:44.900 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% some things. Some of them are things we've done 04:45.000 --> 04:49.433 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% before. And some of them are new but all of them are 04:49.533 --> 04:52.066 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% interesting. And we're gonna start with 04:52.166 --> 04:54.866 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% something that's just a huge amount of fun, which 04:54.966 --> 04:57.000 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% is a sunflower farm. 04:57.100 --> 05:00.500 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% Isn't that cool? Uh huh! And this one is in 05:00.600 --> 05:05.133 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Anderson. And Terasa, I think these days when so 05:05.233 --> 05:08.933 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% many organizations and people are in need, it's a 05:09.033 --> 05:13.100 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% lovely story to hear why this family, the Roberts 05:13.200 --> 05:16.566 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% family started Sol Flowers, this beautiful 05:16.666 --> 05:19.866 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% sunflower farm. Let's learn about it and have 05:19.966 --> 05:22.700 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% at it. Sounds good. Okay. 05:24.433 --> 05:40.466 align:left position:50%,start line:93.33% size:50% ♪ 05:40.566 --> 05:42.800 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% I'm outside of Anderson, South Carolina speaking 05:42.900 --> 05:46.066 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% with Danielle Roberts who is the proprietor or Sol 05:46.166 --> 05:50.266 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Farms and boy what a field of sunflowers, we have. Thank 05:50.366 --> 05:53.033 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% you. Thank you. We have about five acres right 05:53.133 --> 05:56.833 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% here. This started out in the backyard in town, I think. 05:56.933 --> 05:59.666 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100% It did. Tell us a little about your story. Well we just 05:59.766 --> 06:04.433 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5% had a little family, backyard garden and we 06:04.533 --> 06:06.433 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% grew lots of the things tomatoes and cucumbers. 06:06.533 --> 06:09.766 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% But we also always wound up with a nice big long 06:09.866 --> 06:12.800 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% row of sunflowers, just for the fun of it. And it 06:12.900 --> 06:15.100 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% just sort of was maybe the beginning of 06:15.200 --> 06:17.566 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% something much larger. Well originally I think 06:17.666 --> 06:20.566 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% your daughters used that as a way to help 06:20.666 --> 06:22.400 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% fund going to college and things like that. Tell 06:22.500 --> 06:24.733 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% us how they started getting these flowers to 06:24.833 --> 06:27.466 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% the market. Okay well they did. 06:27.566 --> 06:30.766 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% We built them a little garden of their own and 06:30.866 --> 06:33.600 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% we helped them learn to grow the sunflowers and 06:33.700 --> 06:36.666 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% they would harvest them and take them to our 06:36.766 --> 06:40.466 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% local farmers market. And they got a little pocket 06:40.566 --> 06:42.466 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% change had a little money to take with 06:42.566 --> 06:45.400 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% them to college and learned you know a valuable 06:45.500 --> 06:48.633 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% lesson in hard work and it turned into something 06:48.733 --> 06:51.166 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that we all loved. But those girls have gone on to 06:51.266 --> 06:55.666 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% careers. And you had an interest in local 06:55.766 --> 06:59.633 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% organizations that were supporting families and 06:59.733 --> 07:02.133 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% children issues and I believe your husband was 07:02.233 --> 07:05.666 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% on a foundation that you thought maybe you could 07:05.766 --> 07:09.166 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% help support. That's right. We've always been 07:09.266 --> 07:11.766 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% very involved in the community. And we love 07:11.866 --> 07:15.066 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% where we live. So we wanted to do something to 07:15.166 --> 07:17.933 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% sort of give back. You know, we like it here. We raised 07:18.033 --> 07:21.133 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% our children here and it was just a thought that 07:21.233 --> 07:22.733 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% maybe we could do something on a larger 07:22.833 --> 07:26.433 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% scale to return a little bit of that back to our 07:26.533 --> 07:29.566 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% community. And you're right my husband does sit 07:29.666 --> 07:31.100 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% on the board of the Foothills Community 07:31.200 --> 07:35.866 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5% Foundation and it was a great place for us to 07:35.966 --> 07:38.166 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100% put the money so that it can go out into this 07:38.266 --> 07:40.366 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5% community and do the most good for the most number 07:40.466 --> 07:42.666 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% of people. And that supports three counties I 07:42.766 --> 07:45.133 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% believe. That's right. Anderson, Oconee and 07:45.233 --> 07:47.266 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Pickens County. And the goal of Community 07:47.366 --> 07:49.833 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% Foundations is to encourage people to 07:49.933 --> 07:52.433 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% support local charities that where you can really 07:52.533 --> 07:54.733 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% see where the effect is going to be made. That's 07:54.833 --> 07:57.266 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% right. Well how do you market these flowers or 07:57.366 --> 07:59.966 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% take donations for them? Okay, well we have a 08:00.066 --> 08:04.666 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Facebook page, Sol flowers of Anderson and we did 08:04.766 --> 08:07.600 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% most of the marketing just through Facebook. 08:07.700 --> 08:10.100 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% We don't do a lot of advertising very little 08:10.200 --> 08:13.500 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% advertising of any other kind. But the Facebook page 08:13.600 --> 08:17.666 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% opened us up to all kinds of publicity so not only 08:17.766 --> 08:20.666 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% were we reaching a number of people with our 08:20.766 --> 08:24.000 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Facebook page we are also gaining some interest 08:24.100 --> 08:27.300 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5% from newspapers and news 08:27.400 --> 08:30.166 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% stations who would come out here and do things and 08:30.266 --> 08:33.400 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and it really helped the word spread and again you 08:33.500 --> 08:36.100 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% know just with very little paid advertising. 08:36.200 --> 08:38.033 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% I believe two weekends of the year people are 08:38.133 --> 08:40.900 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% invited to come out here. That's right. We plant the 08:41.000 --> 08:43.800 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% seed late in April because we know that's how long 08:43.900 --> 08:45.466 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% it will take them to come in right 08:45.566 --> 08:47.900 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% around the fourth of July, which is the week we like 08:48.000 --> 08:50.166 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% to have the event out here. We have people come 08:50.266 --> 08:52.666 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% out on the weekend before and the weekend after. 08:52.766 --> 08:55.700 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% They're invited to come out, take pictures, stroll 08:55.800 --> 08:57.466 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% through the fields and just enjoy all these 08:57.566 --> 09:00.333 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% gorgeous sunflowers. And you have people helping 09:00.433 --> 09:04.366 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% you cut the flowers and a station there ready for 09:04.466 --> 09:07.366 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% people to trade for a donation to the 09:07.466 --> 09:10.166 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% foundation. That's right. We'll cut the flowers and 09:10.266 --> 09:12.566 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% bring them up out of the field. And then they'll be 09:12.666 --> 09:15.133 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% cleaned up real nice and bundled up and prepared 09:15.233 --> 09:17.166 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% for people to take them home. How much should 09:17.266 --> 09:20.033 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% you have been able to get to the Foundation. 09:20.133 --> 09:22.333 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Well, to date and we don't know what this year's proceeds 09:22.433 --> 09:25.166 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% are yet. But in the prior three years that we've 09:25.266 --> 09:28.266 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% done this we've raised over 30 thousand 09:28.366 --> 09:30.766 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% dollars. And this is because people allow you 09:30.866 --> 09:32.933 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% to use the land at no cost Someone helps you 09:33.033 --> 09:36.033 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% with the equipment, planting. That's right, we 09:36.133 --> 09:38.966 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% have a family that allows us to come out here in 09:39.066 --> 09:43.466 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% use their land. And we have some great farmers that come 09:43.566 --> 09:46.900 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% out and help us with the planting and with their 09:47.000 --> 09:49.300 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% equipment and get the field looking real nice 09:49.400 --> 09:53.866 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% for us. Now this is not a forest type sunflower. 09:53.966 --> 09:56.233 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% There are some advantages to that for you. That's 09:56.333 --> 09:59.166 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% right, Amanda. These are production sunflowers. 09:59.266 --> 10:02.733 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And by production I mean these are used typically 10:02.833 --> 10:06.733 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% for sunflower oil. But the advantage to me is 10:06.833 --> 10:09.333 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that they are less expensive and they're 10:09.433 --> 10:12.366 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% great pollinators. The pollinators out here are 10:12.466 --> 10:15.233 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% just phenomenal. It's so exciting to see them. You see 10:15.333 --> 10:17.433 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% butterflies and all kinds of bees and different 10:17.533 --> 10:20.700 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% things on them. And then of course, one the things 10:20.800 --> 10:23.833 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% is that most people think sunflowers follow the sun, 10:23.933 --> 10:25.966 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% but because this is such a big strong sunflower 10:26.066 --> 10:30.166 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% tell me how it acts. Well, early on, you may see a 10:30.266 --> 10:33.533 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% little, a little bit of wavering. Yeah 10:33.633 --> 10:36.333 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% while the plants are young and tender, but as they 10:36.433 --> 10:38.700 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% get more and more established, this 10:38.800 --> 10:41.566 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% particular variety is gonna all face to the east. 10:41.666 --> 10:43.533 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And that's because they have such a great 10:43.633 --> 10:45.933 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% big flower head full of seeds, they really have to have 10:46.033 --> 10:48.566 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% a strong stem to support that. That's right. What do 10:48.666 --> 10:50.766 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% you do about...? I don't see irrigation. What do 10:50.866 --> 10:54.300 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% you do about water? We just, we depend on rain. 10:54.400 --> 10:56.566 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Luckily we've had some great rain this year. 10:56.666 --> 10:58.366 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% We had a nice amount of rain 10:58.466 --> 11:01.933 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% right after we planted and then a few more smaller rains to 11:02.033 --> 11:05.133 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% come through. The rain has everything to do with 11:05.233 --> 11:08.433 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the height. The flowers look good no matter how 11:08.533 --> 11:10.500 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% much water they get. But if we can get some 11:10.600 --> 11:12.766 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% good rain, we can get some nice height. I think people 11:12.866 --> 11:15.666 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% like to come out and take photographs too. Don't they? 11:15.766 --> 11:19.866 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% We have lots of people that come out the family photographs. 11:19.966 --> 11:21.666 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5% Moms bring their iPhones. 11:21.766 --> 11:23.533 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% We have professionals that come out and do 11:23.633 --> 11:26.066 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% professional photography out here.

They'll be nice and flavorful to bite 15:12.000 --> 15:17.300 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% into when our stew is finished. We have two pounds of meat here. 15:17.400 --> 15:21.166 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% You can use another type of meat. If you prefer, venison 15:21.266 --> 15:23.366 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% that would be a really good stew meat as well. 15:23.466 --> 15:28.333 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Our carrots, jalepenos, and some mushrooms. 15:28.433 --> 15:32.466 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Then I'm going to sprinkle all our spices on top, 15:32.566 --> 15:34.666 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100% herbs and spices I should say. 15:42.700 --> 15:43.700 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5% We're going to add our 15:43.800 --> 15:47.500 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% can of diced tomatoes. And we're not gonna drain 15:47.600 --> 15:51.466 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% this can off. We want all that liquid in there. 15:57.700 --> 16:01.100 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Right now it kinda just looks dry. Doesn't it? Yeah! 16:02.300 --> 16:04.000 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Beef broth will solve that for you. I'm sure. 16:06.733 --> 16:08.266 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% I'll tell you, it smells good already. 16:12.000 --> 16:14.600 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Now, once it starts cooking down you are gonna want to stir it 16:14.700 --> 16:17.033 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% once or twice just to get everything combined. 16:17.133 --> 16:21.333 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% But for the most part you can leave this on the coals 16:21.433 --> 16:24.866 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% for the remainder of that period to cook that meat down. 16:24.966 --> 16:26.766 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% I also add a little bit of vinegar, 16:26.866 --> 16:29.600 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% which is going to help with our flavor. 16:31.700 --> 16:34.733 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% And that's all. Alright that sounds great. Well, I've already 16:34.833 --> 16:37.766 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% prepared our coals outside and so we're going to go ahead 16:37.866 --> 16:41.000 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% put a lid on this and then move to the outside and 16:41.100 --> 16:41.933 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5% get it to cooking. 16:44.366 --> 16:47.866 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Alright, so we're fixing to put our dutch oven 16:47.966 --> 16:51.166 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% on our coals. I've arranged a bed of coals for the bottom. 16:51.266 --> 16:56.966 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% We'll go ahead and set it on. And we'll put our coals on top. 17:01.566 --> 17:05.733 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% ...so we get that oven effect. And of course a dutch oven 17:05.833 --> 17:10.266 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% is actually an oven and it gets heat from all around, top and 17:10.366 --> 17:16.666 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% bottom. That's why we have this rim lid for our dutch oven 17:16.766 --> 17:22.233 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% so that our coals won't fall off. We're able to manage them 17:22.333 --> 17:23.833 align:left position:25%,start line:93.33% size:75% a lot better. 17:27.700 --> 17:30.533 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% It does matter how many coals you put on the top, on 17:30.633 --> 17:34.866 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% the bottom. You can control your heat by the number of coals. 17:38.400 --> 17:38.966 align:left position:25%,start line:93.33% size:75% You arrange them. 17:40.300 --> 17:42.733 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Mark are these the only coals that we're going to use 17:42.833 --> 17:44.900 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% throughout this process. No. We're gonna to have to 17:45.000 --> 17:47.533 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% start some more coals because since it's going to take about 17:47.633 --> 17:50.366 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% an hour and a half to cook this, that won't be enough. 17:50.466 --> 17:54.766 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% They'll burn out and go out and so your number will vary from 17:54.866 --> 17:57.100 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% time to time. Sometimes they'll burn down really small like 17:57.200 --> 17:58.800 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100% this one. Sometimes it will 17:58.900 --> 18:02.800 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% be big. And we'll have another batch of coal started to add to 18:02.900 --> 18:07.800 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% these as we go. So dutch oven cooking - Take your time! 18:07.900 --> 18:09.866 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5% Don't get in a hurry! 18:09.966 --> 18:15.733 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Really enjoyable and great food at the end of the process. 18:15.833 --> 18:19.200 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Okay! Well we got our beef stew cooking. So Carol, 18:19.300 --> 18:22.200 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% how's that going? We just checked it. Stirred it. 18:22.300 --> 18:25.433 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Looking great! It's right on track to finishing in about 18:25.533 --> 18:30.466 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% 45 minutes. Oh that'll be just right for us to put our dump 18:30.566 --> 18:33.633 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% cobbler together. And that's going to be our dessert. 18:33.733 --> 18:35.666 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% We'll go ahead and assemble that. 18:35.766 --> 18:38.766 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% What we got here is some simple ingredients that 18:38.866 --> 18:42.600 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% we're going to combine. We've got apple pie filling 18:42.700 --> 18:46.300 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% We've got a yellow cake mix of your choice. 18:46.400 --> 18:49.466 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% A stick of butter and some ground cinnamon. 18:49.566 --> 18:54.133 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And so we'll go ahead and put those in and get 18:54.233 --> 18:59.400 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% em ready to go. It's very important, do not stir this 18:59.500 --> 19:02.300 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% cobbler. That's why it's called a dump cobbler. 19:22.866 --> 19:26.100 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Alright! So that's what it looks like. We're gonna go ahead and 19:26.200 --> 19:30.500 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% put the lid on this and put it on our coals. 19:30.600 --> 19:33.366 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% What we're going to do is a technique 19:33.466 --> 19:36.566 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that up we're going to utilize the coals that are on 19:36.666 --> 19:39.766 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% top of this oven and we're gonna double stack these ovens. 19:42.566 --> 19:45.466 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% We're gonna do like that, then I'm gonna go ahead 19:45.566 --> 19:47.166 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5% and put some of top. 19:54.033 --> 19:57.100 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% I'll go ahead and finish putting my coals on, 19:57.200 --> 19:59.833 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% about 30-45 minute, we'll be ready to eat. 20:10.800 --> 20:12.866 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Alright, we've got our cooking done so 20:12.966 --> 20:15.533 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% we're going to open up our cobbler, take a look at it. 20:21.366 --> 20:23.900 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% Oh boy!

Do you remember that? I do 21:47.433 --> 21:50.066 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% remember. It does make for some pretty tasty food, 21:50.166 --> 21:53.700 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% doesn't it? Mmhm. And I was thinking that as we're 21:53.800 --> 21:56.733 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% entering the hurricane season, maybe we 21:56.833 --> 22:00.300 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% all should brush up on a Dutch oven pronto, don't you? 22:00.400 --> 22:03.466 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% (laughs) Always be prepared, right? 22:03.566 --> 22:06.033 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% Well Terasa you know it interests 22:06.133 --> 22:08.066 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% me that people who we work with all the time 22:08.166 --> 22:11.300 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% have such unusual skills. Because I never knew that 22:11.400 --> 22:13.500 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% Layla Burgess was going to make many gardens, 22:13.600 --> 22:17.266 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% did you? I did not but she seems to have some 22:17.366 --> 22:20.933 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% creative talent hidden in there. She sure does. And I 22:21.033 --> 22:22.666 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% think she had a mighty nice little helper too. 22:22.766 --> 22:26.366 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Don't you? Oh yes, definitely! Well let's 22:26.466 --> 22:28.533 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% learn about how you too can make a fairy 22:28.633 --> 22:31.733 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% garden with somebody special in your life, too. 22:33.266 --> 24:26.066 align:left position:50%,start line:0% size:50% ♪ 24:27.333 --> 24:30.100 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Terasa, I think it was sweet to see those little 24:30.200 --> 24:32.800 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% little child's hands mixed in there with 24:32.900 --> 24:35.300 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Layla's. That was really precious, wasn't it. 24:35.400 --> 24:37.400 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% It was. I might need to find a special little 24:37.500 --> 24:39.666 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% friend to make a miniature garden myself. 24:39.766 --> 24:41.933 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5% Let's try to do that. 24:42.033 --> 24:44.866 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Ben Powell is our state apiculturist and pollinator 24:44.966 --> 24:47.866 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% specialist. And Terasa that is an important role 24:47.966 --> 24:50.233 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that we have someone filling that leadership 24:50.333 --> 24:53.200 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% for us. And we had a long and interesting talk with 24:53.300 --> 24:56.300 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% him about just kind of the pollinator situation 24:56.400 --> 24:58.433 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% in general. So, let's see what Ben has to say. 25:01.600 --> 25:05.933 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% I'm speaking with Ben Powell. Ben is extension's apiculturist 25:06.033 --> 25:10.400 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% and pollinator specialist and Ben 25:10.500 --> 25:12.333 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% first of all I don't think that I'm not sure 25:12.433 --> 25:15.433 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that everyone understands that the European honey 25:15.533 --> 25:20.033 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% bee is not a native bee. Let's talk about their 25:20.133 --> 25:23.766 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% place in our culture. Sure so apiculture is the 25:23.866 --> 25:27.233 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% practice of managing bees and pollinators. 25:27.333 --> 25:30.066 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% It includes the European honey bee, but also bumble 25:30.166 --> 25:34.333 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5% bees and orchard bees and a few other pollinators. 25:34.433 --> 25:36.433 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5% You know the European honey bee is not native to 25:36.533 --> 25:39.133 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5% North America but it's definitely naturalized. 25:39.233 --> 25:41.100 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5% It's a part of our culture. It's a part of 25:41.200 --> 25:44.966 align:left position:12.5%,start line:0% size:87.5% agriculture. It's a part of the eco system and the 25:45.066 --> 25:47.566 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% benefits of having them greatly outweigh any 25:47.666 --> 25:51.266 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% negatives that they produce. And Ben the 25:51.366 --> 25:54.400 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% native pollinators we have 25:54.500 --> 25:56.566 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% are responsible I guess for a good bit of 25:56.666 --> 26:00.066 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% pollination. What are they specialists? Or are they 26:00.166 --> 26:03.100 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% generalists? Or a combination? 26:03.200 --> 26:05.666 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Well you know insects of the most diverse group of 26:05.766 --> 26:08.633 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% organisms on the planet. And one of the primary 26:08.733 --> 26:11.800 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% forces that drove that diversity was the 26:11.900 --> 26:16.066 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% co-evolution of flowers and pollinators. So we have so 26:16.166 --> 26:19.700 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% many species that have evolved with plants to 26:19.800 --> 26:23.633 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% pollinate them and use their flowers that 26:23.733 --> 26:26.166 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% there's a diversity that spans 26:26.266 --> 26:28.133 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% across a bunch of different groups. 26:28.233 --> 26:31.266 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% So there's beetles that pollinate. There's flies 26:31.366 --> 26:34.266 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that pollinate. There are some other bugs, like 26:34.366 --> 26:37.233 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% stink bugs and bugs... There's even 26:37.333 --> 26:41.200 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% spiders that pollinate. No. So when we say pollinators 26:41.300 --> 26:45.266 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% we're really talking about a huge number of species 26:45.366 --> 26:48.833 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that provide significant benefits to the ecosystem. 26:48.933 --> 26:53.233 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% Is there like a percentage of food that's 26:53.333 --> 26:57.333 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% produced by pollinators? Well, so honey bees you 26:57.433 --> 27:00.133 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% know the adage is that one out of every three foods 27:00.233 --> 27:03.600 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that you eat requires honey bees to pollinate em. 27:03.700 --> 27:05.200 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5% So when you look at your 27:05.300 --> 27:08.566 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% dinner plate, one third of what's sitting there, need a 27:08.666 --> 27:11.033 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% pollinator. And honey bees do the most of that in 27:11.133 --> 27:15.033 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% agriculture. In the environment, about 27:15.133 --> 27:17.666 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% 75% of the plants around us require 27:17.766 --> 27:21.333 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% an insect pollinator. The diversity of plants 27:21.433 --> 27:23.900 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that we enjoy in our yards, or gardens, farms 27:24.000 --> 27:27.166 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and forests are there because of the diversity 27:27.266 --> 27:31.633 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% of pollinators. And it all is basically a food chain, 27:31.733 --> 27:35.066 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% isn't it? Now, I mean if we didn't have a small 27:35.166 --> 27:38.833 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% fly who's a pollinator, then another insect 27:38.933 --> 27:41.600 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% perhaps wouldn't be there. That might be his source. 27:41.700 --> 27:44.466 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% I guess all of this is important because it 27:44.566 --> 27:47.166 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% takes from the smallest to the largest. There is a 27:47.266 --> 27:50.333 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% food web that builds. Sure the links 27:50.433 --> 27:54.366 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% within an ecosystem are innumerable. And that 27:54.466 --> 27:57.066 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% pollinator who sustains that one particular kind 27:57.166 --> 28:00.133 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% of plant, also sustains the insects that 28:00.233 --> 28:03.100 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% feed on that plant, the insects that eat that 28:03.200 --> 28:05.466 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% plant when it dies and decays and turns it back to 28:05.566 --> 28:08.733 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% soil, the predators that eat those insects and then the 28:08.833 --> 28:12.366 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% wild life that eat all those insects too. So that 28:12.466 --> 28:15.100 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% relationship between plants and 28:15.200 --> 28:18.233 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% flower. I mean the plant and insect, that is 28:18.333 --> 28:20.133 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% one of the most important relationships in the 28:20.233 --> 28:24.433 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% environment. It is crucial and we hear 28:24.533 --> 28:27.833 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% now that pollinators have been under pressure. 28:27.933 --> 28:31.266 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And so, if you could talk a little bit about 28:31.366 --> 28:35.600 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% from your experience what you're seeing, 28:35.700 --> 28:38.133 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% is there a serious problem? 28:38.233 --> 28:42.000 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Sure you know we first started. Well, I say we, the 28:42.100 --> 28:44.333 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% scientific community first started noticing 28:44.433 --> 28:46.866 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% some declines in pollinator populations 28:46.966 --> 28:51.333 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% many decades ago. And those trends seem to 28:51.433 --> 28:55.466 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% increase over recent times. The most poignant 28:55.566 --> 28:58.766 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% piece of information is in 2006, 28:58.866 --> 29:01.733 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% beekeepers started reporting significant 29:01.833 --> 29:05.300 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Winter losses, like 40%, 50%, 60% 29:05.400 --> 29:07.400 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% of their colonies were dying. 29:07.500 --> 29:10.100 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And a lot of research went into determining it. 29:10.200 --> 29:12.066 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And we heard about this term called colony 29:12.166 --> 29:14.800 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% collapse disorder and what we've learned is 29:14.900 --> 29:18.933 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% actually that it was largely a mite that moved 29:19.033 --> 29:22.600 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% into North America and started parasitizing 29:22.700 --> 29:25.466 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% honey bees. But honey bees are not the only ones to 29:25.566 --> 29:30.566 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% have issues. Bumble bees are declining nationwide 29:30.666 --> 29:33.966 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and that's due to loss of habitat, as well as some 29:34.066 --> 29:37.166 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% diseases that have moved in. And then if you look 29:37.266 --> 29:39.200 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% at things like butterflies, the monarch 29:39.300 --> 29:42.466 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% butterfly, which is pretty much North America's 29:42.566 --> 29:46.666 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% iconic insect is down almost 80% 29:46.766 --> 29:48.700 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% from its original populations just 20 29:48.800 --> 29:51.933 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% years ago. So there are some 29:52.033 --> 29:54.966 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% significant concerns in what's going on within 29:55.066 --> 29:58.066 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% our pollinator community that a lot of people 29:58.166 --> 30:00.333 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% trying to tease apart, try to figure out what it is 30:00.433 --> 30:03.066 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% to do to solve this problem. 30:03.166 --> 30:06.600 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And Doug Tallamy from Connecticut I believe it 30:06.700 --> 30:09.500 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% is. Isn't it? He has certainly made 30:09.600 --> 30:12.533 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% everyone aware of the need to plant native 30:12.633 --> 30:15.400 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% larval food sources for caterpillars because of 30:15.500 --> 30:19.066 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the relationships with birds. We - 30:19.166 --> 30:21.233 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% I think everyone's kind of heard that 30:21.333 --> 30:25.733 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% message. But what can we do to on our side to try 30:25.833 --> 30:29.900 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% to help pollinators? Well - Pollinators. Sure. 30:30.000 --> 30:32.666 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Unfortunately, it's a very complex issue that has 30:32.766 --> 30:37.433 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% many moving parts. One of the major issues is just 30:37.533 --> 30:40.500 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% changes in the landscape and what kind of plants 30:40.600 --> 30:43.866 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% are available to pollinators. We have - 30:43.966 --> 30:46.533 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% We manage the land and we manage the land 30:46.633 --> 30:49.066 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% sometimes in ways that are not friendly to 30:49.166 --> 30:52.533 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% pollinators. Industrialized forest 30:52.633 --> 30:55.566 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% production sometimes reduces the understorey 30:55.666 --> 30:58.866 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% plants that pollinators need. Farms have a 30:58.966 --> 31:02.100 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% tendency to micro manage mono cultural stands of 31:02.200 --> 31:05.133 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% plants and eliminate a lot of those weedy 31:05.233 --> 31:08.000 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% plants that were in the field prior to that. 31:08.100 --> 31:11.600 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% In our home landscapes, we've changed what would 31:11.700 --> 31:15.500 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% naturally be a forested landscape with lots of 31:15.600 --> 31:21.133 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% trees, shrubs, grasses and forbs into largely lawn 31:21.233 --> 31:26.666 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% areas and exotic plants that had been crossed and 31:26.766 --> 31:29.866 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% hybridized in many ways. So the home landscape 31:29.966 --> 31:33.900 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% doesn't look very natural anymore. So it's not very 31:34.000 --> 31:37.133 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% much a feast for pollinators? That's right. 31:37.233 --> 31:39.233 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Now there's still plants that are definitely 31:39.333 --> 31:41.600 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% serving pollinators and many of these are some of 31:41.700 --> 31:44.400 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% the ornamental cultivars that we have in 31:44.500 --> 31:48.300 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% our yard. But some of the plants that we choose now 31:48.400 --> 31:52.533 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and are sold broadly across the state 31:52.633 --> 31:56.466 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% are not necessarily very pollinator friendly. 31:56.566 --> 31:59.266 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% A lot of people want to blame farmers for their 31:59.366 --> 32:05.133 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% use of pesticides, but I know farmers are required to 32:05.233 --> 32:09.666 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% keep strict records. And the EPA does go back and 32:09.766 --> 32:13.266 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% review pesticides periodically and some of 32:13.366 --> 32:18.066 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% them are removed. Sure. But what do 32:18.166 --> 32:21.566 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% you think the role of farmers and their use of 32:21.666 --> 32:24.966 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% chemicals and homeowners and their use of 32:25.066 --> 32:28.100 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% chemicals place in this decline that we've 32:28.200 --> 32:31.900 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% seen? Well pesticides are definitely an issue. 32:32.000 --> 32:35.066 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% We're not gonna say they're not. But when pesticides are used 32:35.166 --> 32:37.733 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% correctly they're kind of like medication for the 32:37.833 --> 32:40.633 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% land. They're there to solve a problem. When used 32:40.733 --> 32:44.033 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% correctly, that medication works on the problem and 32:44.133 --> 32:47.700 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% doesn't have a lot of non target effects. But when 32:47.800 --> 32:50.033 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% using correctly in excess, you know 32:50.133 --> 32:53.033 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% pesticides can be an issue. But you think about 32:53.133 --> 32:55.833 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% what we got available now versus what we had 50 32:55.933 --> 32:58.833 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% years ago. Some of the pesticides we had middle 32:58.933 --> 33:02.366 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% of the last century, much more toxic, much more 33:02.466 --> 33:05.166 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% broad spread and much larger volumes than some 33:05.266 --> 33:08.333 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% of the pesticides we use today. Now that being said 33:08.433 --> 33:11.233 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% I'm not gonna say there's not issues there. Yes. 33:11.333 --> 33:15.066 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% But there are strict restrictions on how 33:15.166 --> 33:18.366 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% pesticides are applied. Requires licensing for 33:18.466 --> 33:21.000 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% most farmers they have to go through education. 33:21.100 --> 33:24.366 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% The labels tell them what to do to avoid pollinator 33:24.466 --> 33:27.100 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% problems. And then the state also regulates 33:27.200 --> 33:29.800 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% their use. I will say in the home 33:29.900 --> 33:33.166 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% landscape, it's a little bit more wild west to 33:33.266 --> 33:36.133 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% some degree because you have a lot of more 33:36.233 --> 33:38.733 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% different products that are purchased by a lot 33:38.833 --> 33:41.466 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% more different applicators. And they're 33:41.566 --> 33:45.433 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% being used in ways not necessarily according to 33:45.533 --> 33:48.533 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the label. You know lots of times, folks point the 33:48.633 --> 33:51.033 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100% finger at farms or folks point 33:51.133 --> 33:53.233 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the finger at home landscapes and pesticide 33:53.333 --> 33:56.866 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% use and you know either situation could either be 33:56.966 --> 34:00.400 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% managed properly or improperly. And depending 34:00.500 --> 34:02.800 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% upon how the pesticide is used, what 34:02.900 --> 34:05.566 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% pesticide is used. as long as they are used according to 34:05.666 --> 34:08.866 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% the labels then the impacts of pesticides 34:08.966 --> 34:11.800 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% are minimal. Obviously we want to do 34:11.900 --> 34:14.166 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% everything we can to minimize pesticide use 34:14.266 --> 34:15.900 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and there are a variety of strategies for 34:16.000 --> 34:19.500 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% controlling pests that do that, they don't require 34:19.600 --> 34:24.100 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% pesticide use. And both farmers and homeowners 34:24.200 --> 34:27.666 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% I think are encouraged to have kind of like an 34:27.766 --> 34:29.666 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% economic threshold through 34:29.766 --> 34:32.833 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% integrated pest management, where they say 34:32.933 --> 34:36.033 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% I can have this many of this pest in my field and 34:36.133 --> 34:38.100 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% it's not going to cut down on my production 34:38.200 --> 34:39.933 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% costs compared to what it would cost me 34:40.033 --> 34:44.166 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% to treat them. And I think the homeowner too can say you know 34:44.266 --> 34:46.800 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% so I've got a couple of leaves, some that are 34:46.900 --> 34:49.466 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% getting eaten. You know the plant has 5000 34:49.566 --> 34:52.933 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% leaves. I can - It's not perfection. That's right. Well 34:53.033 --> 34:56.166 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and Amanda you bring up probably the single most 34:56.266 --> 34:59.033 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% critical part in pollinator conservation. 34:59.133 --> 35:01.900 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And that's tolerance. You think about all the 35:02.000 --> 35:04.700 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% organisms that use our farms, all the 35:04.800 --> 35:06.833 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% organisms that live in our yards and in the 35:06.933 --> 35:09.733 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% forest. The vast majority of those bugs that are 35:09.833 --> 35:13.733 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% out there are either benign or beneficial. And 35:13.833 --> 35:16.566 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% it's only a few individuals that cause 35:16.666 --> 35:20.433 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the problems that folks want to treat and control. 35:20.533 --> 35:23.233 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% So when you recognize that there's a few 35:23.333 --> 35:25.700 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% individuals that we're trying to target and 35:25.800 --> 35:28.833 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% everybody else has a right to survive, then 35:28.933 --> 35:30.900 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% we can solve the problem. And we could 35:31.000 --> 35:32.866 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% really make impacts on pollinator 35:32.966 --> 35:35.733 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% conservation. And it seems that the trend in 35:35.833 --> 35:39.333 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% developing pesticides, if possible is to develop 35:39.433 --> 35:43.500 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% ones that target specific individuals, the pests, 35:43.600 --> 35:46.633 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% rather than I'm gonna get everybody that happened 35:46.733 --> 35:48.533 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% to be there when you make the application. Is that 35:48.633 --> 35:51.233 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% where we're trying to go? Yeah, most 35:51.333 --> 35:53.800 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% pesticide users understand that using a 35:53.900 --> 35:56.566 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% pesticide has problems and they want to minimize 35:56.666 --> 36:00.233 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% those problems and has a cost. So we want to minimize 36:00.333 --> 36:04.100 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% costs. So if they can target it and specifically solve 36:04.200 --> 36:07.000 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the problem without having to broadcast the 36:07.100 --> 36:09.866 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% product or have large volumes of it put out, 36:09.966 --> 36:13.066 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% when the next, that cuts costs right there. And it 36:13.166 --> 36:16.533 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% is more efficient. So most of the new pesticides, 36:16.633 --> 36:19.200 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% most the new application methods as well as a lot 36:19.300 --> 36:22.033 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% of the integrated pest management strategies are 36:22.133 --> 36:25.000 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% all focusing in that direction, minimizing 36:25.100 --> 36:27.466 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% pesticide use and targeting pests. 36:28.700 --> 36:32.000 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% When we know that habitat destruction is important 36:32.100 --> 36:35.233 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% in causing this decline, I think something like 36:35.333 --> 36:38.033 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% 80% of the land in our country is owned 36:38.133 --> 36:40.200 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% privately. You know that doesn't mean by a 36:40.300 --> 36:42.766 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% homeowner necessarily but businesses or 36:42.866 --> 36:47.633 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% corporations. And yet we've become traditional 36:47.733 --> 36:51.100 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% in that we want that green lawn and these 36:51.200 --> 36:54.700 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% certain landscapes. Terasa Lott works with 36:54.800 --> 36:58.100 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% us, has been producing her lawn signs and putting in 36:58.200 --> 37:02.233 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% pollinator gardens, do you think if 37:02.333 --> 37:04.266 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% there was really a movement and that there were a lot 37:04.366 --> 37:07.933 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% of that, that homeowners do and perhaps 37:08.033 --> 37:11.333 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% business owners who are having an environmentally 37:11.433 --> 37:15.866 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% oriented persuasion. Could we help in this problem? 37:15.966 --> 37:18.033 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Sure and we have to because like you 37:18.133 --> 37:20.100 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% mentioned 80% of the land's privately 37:20.200 --> 37:23.266 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% owned. So this has got to be the private 37:23.366 --> 37:25.600 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% landowners that do it, that solve the 37:25.700 --> 37:30.166 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% problem. And everybody's got opportunities. In the 37:30.266 --> 37:32.700 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% home landscape obviously, it's a small piece of 37:32.800 --> 37:34.700 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% land and you may think that you're very 37:34.800 --> 37:37.133 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% limited in what you can do but certain 37:37.233 --> 37:41.266 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% plantings and you mention reducing lawn are huge 37:41.366 --> 37:44.300 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% benefits towards pollinators. You know 37:44.400 --> 37:47.633 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% look at long turf grass. Is there any place in 37:47.733 --> 37:50.633 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% South Carolina where it just grows naturally? 37:50.733 --> 37:54.166 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% No. It requires a lot of management to maintain a lawn. 37:54.266 --> 37:56.900 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Not many places where it grows beautifully, either. Right, 37:57.000 --> 37:59.866 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% right! It's a tough. It's a tough land use to 37:59.966 --> 38:02.600 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% manage and that means it's tough to for 38:02.700 --> 38:06.166 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% pollinators too. So reducing lawn acreage 38:06.266 --> 38:10.000 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% would be a huge benefit to pollinators. 38:10.100 --> 38:12.200 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% You know another thing too is like you mentioned 38:12.300 --> 38:15.400 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% we try to make things so clean and well manicured 38:15.500 --> 38:17.566 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that a lot of those dirty places is actually the 38:17.666 --> 38:21.433 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% where the pollinators nest. They use old fallen 38:21.533 --> 38:25.300 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% logs and wood piles. They use grassy, weedy areas. 38:25.400 --> 38:29.033 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% They use bare dirt for their nesting sites 38:29.133 --> 38:31.233 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and then of course a lot of the plants they forage on 38:31.333 --> 38:34.466 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% are what we are gonna call weeds and dandelions and 38:34.566 --> 38:37.666 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% hem bit in the Spring time or you know one that 38:37.766 --> 38:40.300 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% but most folks try to target to control which 38:40.400 --> 38:42.966 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% also to plant, the most pollinators will try to target 38:43.066 --> 38:47.533 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% for food. So, you know it being tolerant of some 38:47.633 --> 38:51.533 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% unkempt conditions in the landscape 38:51.633 --> 38:54.166 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% is good. Now for the landowners who have a 38:54.266 --> 38:57.900 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% little bit more land, farms, forest land, there 38:58.000 --> 39:00.866 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% are definitely some things that they can do. 39:00.966 --> 39:03.266 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% You know we already talked about pesticides and most 39:03.366 --> 39:05.533 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% farmers will try to minimize pesticide use 39:05.633 --> 39:08.233 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% because it's an economic issue for them. 39:08.333 --> 39:10.633 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% They've got a lot of land in and around that farm 39:10.733 --> 39:14.200 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that's not managed in a cultivated crop. So they 39:14.300 --> 39:17.366 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% can use it as fallow areas as nesting sites and 39:17.466 --> 39:20.733 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% forage areas, wild flowers and plantings that 39:20.833 --> 39:23.466 align:left position:37.5%,start line:86.67% size:62.5% help. And then also we've 39:23.566 --> 39:26.033 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% actually found some really interesting 39:26.133 --> 39:28.933 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% results from inter plantings of wildflowers 39:29.033 --> 39:33.300 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% with crops. Aha. Yes, so a lot of the pollinators 39:33.400 --> 39:35.633 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% that we have in South Carolina are actually 39:35.733 --> 39:40.000 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% predators or parasites of pest insects. 39:40.100 --> 39:42.166 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Whoa. If you put the food for those pollinators 39:42.266 --> 39:44.566 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% right there next to the crop, then you're 39:44.666 --> 39:48.233 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% attracting those pests, the predators of those pests 39:48.333 --> 39:51.400 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and we found some control as a result of having 39:51.500 --> 39:54.566 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% some natural forage habitat in the 39:54.666 --> 39:57.900 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% agricultural operation. What a fascinating trend. 39:58.000 --> 39:59.733 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% I hope that they'll be more work done that way 39:59.833 --> 40:02.966 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% because that really does sound exciting. 40:03.066 --> 40:06.366 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% This is a field that gets people interested and if they 40:06.466 --> 40:10.100 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% want to find out what works best in the area or 40:10.200 --> 40:12.566 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% how to go about it are there some resources that 40:12.666 --> 40:16.633 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% you can suggest? Sure well I built a website so 40:16.733 --> 40:20.066 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Clemson's apiculture and pollinator program has a 40:20.166 --> 40:23.666 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% website you can search that through Clemson 40:23.766 --> 40:26.233 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% there's also a newsletter that I produced it's 40:26.333 --> 40:28.800 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% meant largely for beekeepers and pollinator 40:28.900 --> 40:31.233 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% conservationists. You can go to the website and 40:31.333 --> 40:34.100 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% subscribe to the newsletter. And then I can 40:34.200 --> 40:36.466 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% point you to some other resources. You know this 40:36.566 --> 40:39.433 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% is an international issue. And so there are some 40:39.533 --> 40:41.700 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% conservation organizations that are 40:41.800 --> 40:45.600 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% focused like lasers on this particular problem. 40:45.700 --> 40:48.700 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% One of which is the Xerces society and they 40:48.800 --> 40:51.233 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% provide a lot of resources for homeowners, 40:51.333 --> 40:55.900 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% farmers, forest landowners and decision makers on 40:56.000 --> 40:58.800 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% things they can do to protect pollinators. 40:58.900 --> 41:00.166 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And then there's another group called the 41:00.266 --> 41:05.400 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Pollinator Partnership. And between or among them 41:05.500 --> 41:08.200 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and your beekeeper organizations, you 41:08.300 --> 41:10.433 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% can find a lot of resources to make a lot 41:10.533 --> 41:13.133 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% of improvements. Well, I wanna thank you 41:13.233 --> 41:16.200 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% for this and thank you for your work where you 41:16.300 --> 41:18.200 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% have collected information where we the 41:18.300 --> 41:20.600 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% public can find it and for mentioning other 41:20.700 --> 41:23.533 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% important nonprofit organizations. 41:23.633 --> 41:27.466 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Because I find just to go in the garden and be able 41:27.566 --> 41:29.100 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% to watch the different pollinators is 41:29.200 --> 41:32.466 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% fascinating but I certainly also enjoy the foods that they 41:32.566 --> 41:35.166 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% are responsible for. Ben Powell, thank you so much. 41:35.266 --> 41:36.366 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% You're welcome.

Don't you 41:44.400 --> 41:47.066 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% think? Oh, yes! And when people hear 41:47.166 --> 41:49.166 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% the term pollinators, sometimes they think just 41:49.266 --> 41:51.966 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% honey bees, but of course there is a diverse group 41:52.066 --> 41:54.133 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% of pollinators out there and we want to plant 41:54.233 --> 41:56.500 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% accordingly. Sometimes even humming birds I 41:56.600 --> 41:59.833 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% think. Mmmm hmm. You're right! 41:59.933 --> 42:03.733 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Grady Locklear is a - oh gosh just a renown 42:03.833 --> 42:08.133 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Sumter gardener with a beautiful yard and he let 42:08.233 --> 42:10.800 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% me come over this morning and get some 42:10.900 --> 42:14.433 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% flowers that I could use to make a hat.

And Sean Flynn 42:18.266 --> 42:22.466 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% and Craig Ness and Andrew Tran from our office went 42:22.566 --> 42:26.666 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% over and did some filming there. And I think they 42:26.766 --> 42:29.866 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% had open jaws. They were so stunned at the 42:29.966 --> 42:32.800 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% beauty. And so I think you will also get the same 42:32.900 --> 42:35.166 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% reaction when you see Dr. Locklear's garden. 42:37.533 --> 45:38.300 align:left position:50%,start line:93.33% size:50% ♪ 45:38.400 --> 45:39.933 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Well, Terasa, I think you'll admit that's a 45:40.033 --> 45:44.100 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% pretty beautiful garden, isn't it?

And what's the story 46:49.666 --> 46:52.166 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100% about Epworth and ice cream? Well, thank you for having me. 46:52.266 --> 46:54.466 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100% You know Epworth Children's Home has been around since 46:54.566 --> 46:57.066 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100% the eighteen nineties and it's a 46:57.166 --> 47:00.266 align:left position:0%,start line:0% size:100% great facility in the heart of Columbia. It used to be about 47:00.366 --> 47:02.700 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% a hundred acre farm on its current location. And they 47:02.800 --> 47:06.466 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% raise just about everything including dairy cattle. 47:06.566 --> 47:09.700 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% And in the Depression the governor gave them peanut 47:09.800 --> 47:12.533 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% butter as a nutrition source, a protein source, which of course 47:12.633 --> 47:16.300 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% all kids love. And somebody inventive on the staff decided 47:16.400 --> 47:18.933 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% to take some of that sweet fresh cream and make ice cream 47:19.033 --> 47:20.133 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100% with the peanut butter. And 47:20.233 --> 47:23.900 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% so they've been making peanut butter ice cream since 47:24.000 --> 47:27.033 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% eighty some years now, which is fantastic stuff. And anybody 47:27.133 --> 47:29.833 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% that's ever had it will tell you that. And so the children 47:29.933 --> 47:34.100 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% apparently would be there turning the handle on Sundays 47:34.200 --> 47:35.600 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% making ice cream. The children made it 47:35.700 --> 47:39.000 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% and served it on Sundays and holidays and special occasions 47:39.100 --> 47:43.333 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% and when guests came. And so it's a well known special treat. 47:43.433 --> 47:46.933 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Epworth has began as a place for children who 47:47.033 --> 47:48.266 align:left position:12.5%,start line:93.33% size:87.5% didn't have families but 47:48.366 --> 47:52.566 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% the need for care for children has changed and so not only are 47:52.666 --> 47:54.733 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% some children residential staying there, 47:54.833 --> 47:56.300 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% but you're trying to keep families united, 47:56.400 --> 47:59.800 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% to provide services. It's a broader family service facility. 47:59.900 --> 48:03.133 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% They typically, last year I think they served about two 48:03.233 --> 48:06.066 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% hundred seventy five to three hundred people. 48:06.166 --> 48:09.266 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% But then that impact stretches out beyond to all the family 48:09.366 --> 48:11.633 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% members and people associated with them. So it really is 48:11.733 --> 48:14.933 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% a powerful institution and of course the need for care for 48:15.033 --> 48:18.000 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% kids and families is unfortunately growing. 48:18.100 --> 48:20.233 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100% And that requires funding and 48:20.333 --> 48:22.933 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% ya'll decided that rather than just have a big dance or party 48:23.033 --> 48:25.833 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% every year, you were gonna try to do something sustainable and 48:25.933 --> 48:28.900 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% this wonderful tradition of ice cream came to head. A group of 48:29.000 --> 48:32.100 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% people decided, 'Hey what if we created a business and 48:32.200 --> 48:34.500 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% generated profits over the years that were 48:34.600 --> 48:37.466 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% sustainable and larger and meaningful and then it also 48:37.566 --> 48:40.566 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% gives visibility to the children's home?' And 48:40.666 --> 48:44.266 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% that process started probably four years ago, but we brought 48:44.366 --> 48:47.200 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% it to fruition last year and launched last July. So we're 48:47.300 --> 48:49.966 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% just now celebrating our first anniversary 48:50.066 --> 48:53.000 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% in retail stores and in restaurants and 48:53.100 --> 48:55.600 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% facilities all over the state at this point. It's really going 48:55.700 --> 48:58.866 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% well. And Suzy this is exciting because this is a thing that 48:58.966 --> 49:00.733 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% people in the South certainly love. 49:00.833 --> 49:03.266 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% And kind of a new twist for us too isn't? 49:03.366 --> 49:06.200 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Absolutely! And it's for a great cause. It certainly is. 49:06.300 --> 49:08.900 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% Well let's see what are some of the fun things we can do. 49:09.000 --> 49:11.233 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% I thought I would you know rather than just the traditional 49:11.333 --> 49:13.533 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% chocolate syrup and whipped cream, I tried to come up with 49:13.633 --> 49:16.833 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% some ideas that were a little bit unusual and use South 49:16.933 --> 49:19.100 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% Carolina products in the process. 49:19.200 --> 49:20.633 align:left position:25%,start line:86.67% size:75% And the first thing I've got here 49:20.733 --> 49:23.966 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% is little small ice cream sandwiches made with - 49:24.066 --> 49:27.066 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% The the darker ones are chocolate Bourbon cookies 49:27.166 --> 49:30.133 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% from Gray Ghost.

And they're fantastic. And I 49:39.000 --> 49:41.933 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% personally I like the little size of em 'cause you can eat 49:42.033 --> 49:44.566 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% two. But some people want a much bigger one. If you want to 49:44.666 --> 49:48.600 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% make it with a different kind of cookie you can. Well at a time. 49:48.700 --> 49:50.466 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% And you can make them with whatever cookies you 49:50.566 --> 49:52.233 align:left position:12.5%,start line:86.67% size:87.5% want. That's a very easy thing to make. 49:52.333 --> 49:53.566 align:left position:0%,start line:93.33% size:100% What are the flavors that you 49:53.666 --> 49:56.066 align:left position:0%,start line:86.67% size:100% have?
