Life in coronavirus: A flower farmer innovates; a farmers market opens with caution - Citizen Times

And no one here makes less than $15 an hour, except for me," Copus laughed. She'll continue the model, and is offering flower subscriptions for regular deliveries. More: Blue Ridge Parkway, Great Smokies, state parks, forest close facilities in light of coronavirusIn the time of coronavirus, flowers make sense, even if they don't understand social distancing.Even if they pop up incomprehensibly bright in a dark and uncertain time. Perhaps it's that irrepressible cheerfulness that makes them particularly apropos. "People want to show support via flowers, and I feel lucky that what we do is relevant," Copus said. "That's a bright spot."Figuring out how to save the worldLike business in general, keeping farmers like Copus financially solvent during a pandemic carries risk. “We know this is a challenging and uncertain time for farmers and for the community,” said Charlie Jackson, the executive director of the Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project, the farm-focused nonprofit that manages Asheville City Market.More: Coronavirus: Asheville Mall stays open, even as some vendors leave"ASAP has been working to try to establish new systems for farmers and local food vendors to sell their products that comply with public health requirements," he said. “Now, more than ever, we need to come together over food and take care of ourselves and our community.”The Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project has set up an interim market at A-B Tech with safety in mind. The number of shoppers allowed in the market area will be tightly controlled, with staff directing customers to queue inside their vehicles until they can enter the retail space.Vendors will remain at least 6 feet from shoppers, with customers selecting clearly priced prepackaged items, while not being allowed to handle any other products.No haggling is allowed, and people with cold or flu symptoms will be asked to leave. To minimize potential virus transmission points, customers will pay online after shopping, based on an honor system. ASAP will cover farmers, who will be fully paid no matter what.It's a risk, but a calculated one.More: Coronavirus: From grocery store chains to co-op, how grocers are handling outbreak“We’ve got hundreds of farmers and vendors and thousands of community members that rely on these ma... https://www.citizen-times.com/story/news/local/2020/03/20/coronavirus-while-farmers-fight-stay-afloat-asap-opens-markets/2883723001/

Heuchera or coral bells, fabulous foliage, flowers attract hummingbirds - St. Augustine Record

By Norman WinterTribune News ServiceIt wasn’t long ago I was hiking around Blue Ridge Georgia and came across a few terrific looking heuchera or coral bells, which I had only seen previously for sale in garden centers. All heuchera species are native to the United States including the Heuchera villosa native in the Southeast from Arkansas to Georgia and north to New York.Heuchera was the Perennial Plant of the Year in 1991, and since then, there are more hybrids and varieties, colors and variegations than we possibly could have ever imagined. When you look at a plant’s tag or a plant for that matter it is next to impossible to identify which ones have the DNA from a species native to your state or region.But then there are times when “by George” there it is, a variety like carmel is labeled as a hybrid variety of Heuchera villosa. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying everyone in the country should choose carmel or one of the other varieties that might be identified as H. villosa, but to me, in Georgia, it’s a clue that it might have a little more heat tole... http://staugustine.com/living-garden/2017-01-11/heuchera-or-coral-bells-fabulous-foliage-flowers-attract-hummingbirds

A Roseville flower shop is caught in the middle of a fight that’s not even theirs. Now Becky’s Flowers wants to set the record straight.The Roseville store is taking heat for someone in Midland, Texas who’s accused of taking part in the Capitol riots.READ MORE: Police: Man, Woman Found Passed Out Drunk In Winters Drive-Through With Child In CarAssistant manager Kali Mitchell described the stress of simply answering the telephone.“I said, ‘Becky’s Flowers how can I help you?’ And it was immediately met with, ‘Are you the b**** that stormed the Capitol?'” said Mitchell.“I even had one guy say a lot of things I can’t say on TV, obviously,” said owner Aaron Alberti.Those words were aimed at Jenny Cudd. Cudd was arrested Wednesday and charged with a misdemeanor accused of taking part in the Capitol riots.She could be seen smiling and waving at cameras as she left a virtual hearing. She told media outlets she’d, “do it again, and I’d have a gas mask next time.”Here’s where the Roseville store comes in. Cudd also owns a Becky’s Flowers, but it’s an entirely separate shop in Midland, Texas.“We’re getting attacked from the left, from the right, from people who really don’t care.

Texas Florist Who Admitted to Being in Pelosi’s Office Wants Case Moved from D.C. Because of ‘Cancel Culture’ - Law & Crime

Washington, D.C. because of “cancel culture.” The defense for Texas florist Jenny Louise Cudd, who was on video happily admitting to being in the office of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, asserted authorities were creating the “illusion” of a conspiracy between her and Eliel Rosa by linking their cases.“According to the Government’s Statement of Facts, the two were seen on security footage walking into the building, walking around, and walking out,” attorney Marina Medvin said in a filing Wednesday. “There is no evidence of communications or a plan between the two to enter the Capitol. Instead, the evidence is purported to be that they were at the same place, at the same time, followed a crowd into the open doors of the Capitol building, then walked out. They didn’t take anything, they didn’t break anything.”Cudd was among rioters raiding the U.S. Capitol Building on Jan. 6, after then-President Donald Trump continued to lie that he actually won the 2020 presidential election. The invaders postponed but did not prevent Congress for counting electoral college votes weighing in favor of the real winner, Preside... https://lawandcrime.com/u-s-capitol-siege/texas-florist-who-admitted-to-being-in-pelosis-office-wants-case-moved-from-d-c-because-of-cancel-culture/

Katy Kirby's Debut Album 'Cool Dry Place' Is Simple And Stunning: Review - Stereogum

Kirby — who was based in Nashville until the pandemic forced her to move back to her small Texas hometown — operates in the well-worn tradition of rambling folk songs. Cool Dry Place is assured enough that it doesn’t need much fuss. There are echoes of Feist, Big Thief, and Hop Along throughout; fans of Florist, Hand Habits, and Lomelda will find a lot to like here. And Cool Dry Place sounds as confident as any of them — music that is subtle and full of space and puts an emphasis on what Kirby is trying to say.What Kirby sings about is more complicated. Her lyrics are wrapped in analogies; she’s wry and has an imaginative streak. On “Peppermint,” she processes the unsatisfying distance of a friend like an overly sweet candy: “Made out of peppermint, all white and red pins/ Pins and needles on my tongue/ It’s not exactly what I wanted.” On “Juniper,” she sings about motherhood and likens the accumulation of knowledge passed down through generations to a garden: “Oh, true blue juniper/ Never got around to asking her/ The difference between weeds and herbs and flowers.” Closer “Fireman” has her imagining what it would be like to date a fireman, the constant danger but also the consistent time off, time that can be better used for nurturing a loving relationship. These songs are mostly about wanting to find a relationship where communication comes easy. Kirby, who was homeschooled and raised in a conservative Christian household, is reckoning with feeling out-of-step with everyone else. She spends a lot of the album hoping to catch up, or at least find someone that’s on her same wavelength. “Secret Language” — which borrows its opening lines from one of the most covered songs of all time, Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” — goes on to wonder: “Do you ever worry that they understand our secret language?” On “Traffic!,” an exuberant standout, she modulates her voice to a digital warble to reflect her alienation: “I’m slipping into an accent/ It’s almost more than a habit/ What are we going to do?/ When I can’t talk straight at you.” Kirby journeys through the album trying to learn not just how to talk at people but talk to them, become less interior and more emotionally open. On the wonderful “Tap Twice,” she starts ... https://www.stereogum.com/2115947/katy-kirby-cool-dry-place-review/reviews/album-of-the-week/
