The Second Day

We woke up with the sound of a excavator: communal roadwork was scheduled. Closely, very closely our DSL cable was saved from being cut through. Men between 5 and 75 years of age held shovels and harks in their fists and a lady with garden gloves on and pruning shears removed weeds. The excavator spread raw earth on the potholes… and the bumpy garden paths improved visibly.

Meanwhile: Talks about Pomerian cucumber recipes, other gardeners, garden community laws, runaway turtles, the upcoming fruit and vegetable show (8th of Sept. at the community house) and, of course, Datscha-Radio.

Highlights of today’s program are broadcast from 8 p.m. on reboot.fm, 88.4:

8-9 p.m.
Music for my Saguaros. Zelda Panda

by Zelda Panda
Radio show from a garden in Brandenburg (Veilchenweg, Oranienburg)

A walk to a little desert spot,
meeting trees, flowers, vegetables and humans..
with poems, nature and music from the kitchen of our datscha,
greeting spirits, swinging on a wooden old swing
learning how a cactus becomes a hotel.

9-10 p.m.

Datscha-Radio: First Day. Not Far From A Tree

The first day was adventurous. Stage fright with Ms. Schaffner at 12 a.m., first guests arrived at 12:15 with gardener’s gifts such as “fruit leather” and a basket full of walnuts and peaches. Arrivals: Verena Kuni, the unbelievably brilliant catering team with 4 excellent salads, the friendliest bar keeper in the world. Then an interview with Pankow District Councillor Dr. Thorsten Kühne. And the highlight of the day, a stunning concert with Mimosa Pale (singing saw) and John Blue (cello) … as you can see: “Not Far From a Tree”.

Broadcast of the day: “Paradise Hour”.  A reading by Matthias Scheliga, “Papapaparadies”, a radio play by Georg Klein, “Paradise”, and a soundwalk composed by  Sherre Delys: “Jarman’s Garden”.

Now it is 1 a.m. and outside in the garden world politics have come to the table. Just a while ago, the internet was down, but it’s up again!
