Weeds don’t exactly seem like they’re all that helpful in a garden, but sometimes they can end up giving you some useful guidance. In this week’s episode, we’ll talk about how to learn to “listen” to what the weeds are trying to tell you!

Hi. I’m Allison Adelle Hedge Coke, a poet born in Northwest Texas, here for Poets on the Plains. I’ve got some coffee on the table and I’m here to offer a poem titled “fish bones” from Texas Tech poet jo reyes-boitel.

Baca County in Southeastern Colorado has a colorful history that includes a wide diversity of cultures, landscapes, and ownership. Around 1000 A.D., a culture of hunter/gatherers named Apishapa (uh-PISH-uh-puh) roamed the grasslands and desert-like terrain. They fished in the rivers and streams that had carved out rock-lined canyons, and gathered seeds and grains from the High Plains. They left behind pictures, etched into the canyon walls, and their civilization was ultimately replaced by the nomadic Plains Indian tribes.

In this week’s episode, Luke is joined by his old buddy, guide J.C. McCollough, with whom he’s shared over 30 years of outdoor adventures. And this time around, we’ve been fishing for blue catfish on the Red River.

It’s just about time to transplant your plants into the outdoors, but…do you notice that chill? Not the outdoor temperature, but the panic of realizing that some of your plants won’t survive the process of moving to the outdoors? For what it's worth, some plants are better able to handle the process, and we’ll talk this week about which, and methods to help minimize the stress on your plants this year.

Hello, I’m poet and professor Benjamin Myers here for Poetry on the Plains. Today I’m sharing with you a poem by quintessential Oklahoman poet Quraysh Ali Lansana. Lansana is the author of over twenty books of poetry, nonfiction, and children’s literature.

This remembrance first aired on HPPR in 2019.Hello, I’m Dennis Garcia. I was born in 1951 in Garden City, Kansas. Even in a small town like Garden City, we get so busy we don’t see things that impact our daily lives. For me, it was the railroad. I’m one of 10 kids raised in a small wood framed house. Our home stood alongside the Santa Fe Railroad’s main line that went through town. We lived so close that by the time I was 10, I could throw a rock from my backyard and easily reach the tracks.
