The Brooklyn-based duo was the result of a song-writing partnership between longtime friends and multi-instrumentalists, Sun-Odeon and Bosler. Their debut album was recorded over two weeks in the late summer of 2007 and released in June 2008 on Language of Stone, an imprint of indie label Drag City. On the album, the varied and hard-to-peg songs meld such diverse influences as British-folk finger-style guitar (they give a dark and otherworldly spin on Bert Jansch's "Wishing Well"), Peking opera ("Awaken"), Roma/gypsy folk ("Fool's Love"), Turkish saz riffs ("Water's Edge"), metal and shoegaze atmospherics ("The Door"), and Middle-Eastern accents and rhythms.
Sun-Odeon, a self-taught multi-instrumentalist, grew up taping classical music pieces off the radio and sneaking a hand held transistor radio into bed to listen to beneath the sheets. Her past includes drumming and playing guitar in several noise rock bands in D.C. and, over these years, recording quiet meditations for voice and guitar. For Bosler, Silver Summit had its origins nearly 10 years previously while he was living in Portland, Oregon There he first explored finger-style guitar (he was fortunate enough to study with finger-style master John Fahey), studied Roma/gypsy folk music, and honed his compositional skills in his avant-classical guitar and string combo, Mercurium.
Silver Summit combined the duo's love for folk music of the world with contemporary melancholic and psychedelic sounds.

High quality compost during the dormant season is essential in my book. Fungi is extremely active during the winter and sap production.. It would have been helpful to see some fertilization based sprays and timing for those.. Appreciate all the organic pest spray options..
Orchard People
Fertilizer sprays coming up soon! It’s the topic of my next podcast and video. See orchardpeople.com/podcasts for details. Thanks for the feedback and the suggestion!

Great information thankyou. I would have liked more emphasis on the guiding principles though, we seldom use copper and require approval to do so, and it can cause issues with leaf analysis thresholds as well for certifiers etc; alot of people seem to turn to spraying before fortifying their trees against disease by way of increasing soil health and nutrient availability etc .
Orchard People
Ana I so agree! In my orchard spraying is a last resort! First priority is keeping our trees healthy in other ways...good nutrition, correct pruning, sanitation, scouting and trapping when necessary etc. Thanks for the feedback!

This was great information. I have lost peaches to worms for two years now.

@Orchard People Thank you.

That’s so sad! The more you can improve the soil and the health of the tree, the more resilient your trees will become!

I've had one gala and one fuji tree I planted 7 years ago and I've not had any luck. I get Cedar rust, and lose whatever apples take hold. I plan to follow the advice given here for after leaf drop and going forward. Anything else I should do? II have grass right up to the tree, should I mulch them instead ,compost or anything like that?
Orchard People
Hi Steve, that's great that you'll start to use organic sprays. And yes there's lots more to do to improve tree health. Do remove the grass around the tree. Each year layer around 2 inches of compost. Prune your trees annually and correctly. You can learn more by going to OrchardPeople.com and downloading my free eBook Growing fruit trees that thrive!

I would add.. Don"t spray anything that will hurt the bees. It is better to wait until petal fall. And the bees have lost interest.
