00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:18.879
Ascension, Saint John, Jane Phillips
and Gateway first back. Hey, good

2
00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:21.239
morning, good morning, good morning, Welcome, welcome, welcome, A

3
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:25.920
little rain has fallen there. It
is our Green Country Gardener program right here

4
00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:29.960
on your favorite radio stations. And
guess what. You can call in at

5
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:35.039
one eight hundred seventy three six to
find out how you can get a little

6
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:38.840
help in the lawn or in the
garden with our expert Larry Glass. Good

7
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:42.520
morning, Larry, Yes, just
call in challenge me with your question.

8
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:51.320
Yeah, it's been done anyway.
Golly, it's a bit of a hot

9
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:55.719
time of the year, a little
and a little well hopefully a little time.

10
00:00:56.200 --> 00:01:00.520
Looks like that for the rain.
Maybe we'll get some at ad misery,

11
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:04.159
we got about sixteen drops. You're
at the radio station. Maybe your

12
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:08.799
very bad. That's about what it's
going to be. Wonderful for the afternoon.

13
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:15.359
A little muggy business. Yeah,
we've got something. Yeah, it

14
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:17.920
looked like it might come down pretty
good here a little bit. Anyway,

15
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:23.400
we have some trees were planting today, so they're kind of busy doing that.

16
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:27.680
So we're so busy. Yeah,
you watch out for the heat when

17
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:30.319
you're out there working in the garden
too. You really, you really have

18
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:34.519
to watch out for the plants.
They can handle it. Okay, yeah,

19
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:38.359
yeah, the trees, all the
trees look fine. They do lot.

20
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:42.040
The big trees look really good in
this town because all the rain we

21
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:46.079
had in the string, they stored
all that up and they had bigger roots

22
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:49.079
to spread out everywhere. So so
as far as the big trees are concerned,

23
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:52.120
I wouldn't worry about them too much. They seem to be doing just

24
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:57.000
fine. I don't see the defoliation
that typically was associated with some trees from

25
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:01.680
two years ago. Oh yeah it
was. Last year was really really hot

26
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:06.920
too, but it was so hot
and dry we just about ran out of

27
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:12.560
water. So I looked on your
web page. You have links all over

28
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:15.159
the the corp of Engineers, and
we're doing We're doing pretty well right now.

29
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:20.159
So anyway, most trees to stop
growing for the year. How can

30
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:23.080
I tell you? Look at the
very tip of the brunches. Yeah,

31
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:29.039
the buds are kind of hardened off
a little bit. With the exception those

32
00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:32.960
trees that are going to bloom in
the spring. The dog with for instance,

33
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:36.960
for instance, right now, are
just beginning to set bloom for next

34
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:42.000
spring. So that's pretty cool.
And so don't you don't want to cut

35
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:50.400
back your dog with right now?
Okay? And it uh anyway, look

36
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:52.800
a look at the tips. If
there's a lot of new small leaves,

37
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:55.400
it's still growing. But I rather
doubt at this point in time that the

38
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:59.159
trees are going to be growing any
at all. We don't seem to be

39
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:07.360
having much of a problem with tin
caterpillars this year. Well, co on

40
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.319
the pecans first, and and I
don't know what tree it was. It's

41
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:14.280
in the neighborhood. It's a little
waist back back and spot it from my

42
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:17.520
yeah, livingroom window, it looks
like an early Halloween decoration. Yea.

43
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:23.000
Yeah. So anyway, I expect
that will probably be a little bit later,

44
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:27.520
maybe the tent caterpillars, and they're
pretty easy to control. You can

45
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:31.039
use some BT if you have to
see them. BT is a Basili's thorniness

46
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:38.240
is otherwise known as a thirside,
and it's particularly toxic to the insects in

47
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:42.639
the caterpillar stage. So with that
in mind, you want to be careful

48
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:50.159
not to apply it to those caterpillars
that have those lateral stripes around them black

49
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:53.879
and yellow and white stripe fills are
monarch but a ply, so be very

50
00:03:53.879 --> 00:04:00.479
careful. And if there's a monarch
butterfly larva eating your plant, go ahead

51
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:03.479
and let it the plant. That
plant grow we leaves, but you won't

52
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:09.840
grow another another butterfly. So anyway, so with that in mind, it's

53
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:12.039
a bit late to cut back your
dog with trees if you do want to

54
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:14.759
cut them back, and most people
already don't. They just sort of grow

55
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:17.160
and they sort of let them do
what they want. But it's a bit

56
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:20.319
late for that. Also at the
azaleas, it's kind of late to cut

57
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:26.399
those back also because they're setting their
blooms. Also, the fall blooming azaleas

58
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.959
are setting their blooms for the fall, and the spring ones are setting in

59
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:33.639
the blooms for the spring. Show
them flowers too, so so kind of

60
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:36.839
leave those things alone. The lilac
bush is the same thing. Don't cut

61
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:40.480
them back right now because they're setting
their blooms. And people say, why

62
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:42.639
do my lilacs never bloom? I
said, when do you prune them?

63
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:45.120
I said, well, late summer. Well that's why. God, there

64
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:48.079
you go. They need to be
true. They need to be prune directly

65
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:55.680
after they bloom in the spring.
So as far as fertilization is concerned,

66
00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:58.399
you don't want to spur on a
whole lot of rapid growth on your on

67
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:03.839
your plants right now because of the
available resources of water and the excessive heat.

68
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:06.519
So you'll just kind of let them
stay a little bit on the drive

69
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:10.439
sad, but not to the point
where they're really really driving. You don't

70
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:14.720
want them really wet. We do
have a bit of a heavy soil here,

71
00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:19.279
and it does tend to make the
roots sort of wrought out from excessive

72
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:24.959
moisture all the time. So you
want a driving period maybe twice a week

73
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:30.399
watering. I go up and down
the road and see the same house watering

74
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:33.839
every day at the same time,
and the water pressure is really high apparently

75
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:38.399
in some parts of town, and
you see these sprinklers going and it's just

76
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:43.959
shooting this water out and very small
proportion of it actually hits the ground.

77
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:48.079
It's hitting the road, hitting the
driveway in which is evaporating into the atmosphere.

78
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:53.560
So look at your sprinkler system.
If there's a lot of mists coming

79
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:59.399
off of the sprinkler heads, go
to the backflopea ventor or the main connection

80
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:04.879
and maybe rottle it down a little
bit, just so you don't waste easily

81
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:09.639
thirty percent of your water, yeah, into the air. Yeah, it

82
00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:11.439
makes a muggy for the rest of
them. Well, what that does is

83
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:18.360
it makes it rain down in Arkansas
like they needed. So you want to

84
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:23.879
go ahead and monitor your I was
we were doing a job for somebody.

85
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:27.600
We turn on the sprinker system and
it's like a bunch of aerosol cans.

86
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:34.000
It's just just insane. So it's
all part of the design of the sprinker

87
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:40.720
system too, So keep that in
mind. Also the nozzle diameter and bounce

88
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:43.040
permitted in PSI and all that other
stuff. Oh, here he goes with

89
00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:45.279
the math. You gotta do all
that to figure it out, to do

90
00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:46.639
the math in order to get it
right. But probably one of the most

91
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:51.920
important things on irrigations is a pipeline
velocity. That's a very bad of the

92
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:57.519
water coming through the pipe and the
electric valves and how much stress they can

93
00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:00.759
handle. Bam, if they slam
shut, you have too much velocity going

94
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:06.639
into the pipe. Yeah, and
you know the pipes a rattle in the

95
00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:13.079
house turn off. You need to
cut that down just a little bit.

96
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:17.360
So really people, I guess I
look at the sprinkler systems as sort of

97
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:21.120
like the electrical wiring in their house. You just want to set it and

98
00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:29.040
forget it, forget it. It's
not that easy, not at all.

99
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:32.360
So you want to monitor that and
turn on your sprinkler system and make sure

100
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:36.639
that the heads are pointed the right
way. Driving along and I got a

101
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:46.000
free car wash from that was misdirected. Wow, it's like surprise, there

102
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:50.160
you go. So probably with water, it's expensive as it is. Right

103
00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:55.240
now, you want to you want
to monitor it and use it wisely and

104
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:59.680
try not to put too much of
it out in the atmosphere, and then

105
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:05.160
make sure the sprinkter heads are pumped
in the right way. That's very important,

106
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:09.480
is key phone, you a wasted
twenty five percent of water right there,

107
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:13.879
and then you get some these leaks
that you have over there. Also

108
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:18.160
you want to repair broken pipes and
things, and that all comes down to

109
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:22.879
the to the design of the system
too and how they're connected and everything else.

110
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.759
Now, so the ones you guys
have designed have been going strong for

111
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:28.800
twenty five years, I know,
longer than that. Even Yeah, we

112
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.480
were working across the street from a
project we did thirty years ago, and

113
00:08:31.559 --> 00:08:35.399
the sprinkers came on and they were
just watering just fine, and it wasn't

114
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:39.559
all this myst coming out every way
everywhere. So do it right the first

115
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:43.559
time, you got to pay it. So yeah, even when I was

116
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:48.919
younger, thirty years ago, I
knew how to design these things. But

117
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:54.879
anyway, so you just wanted to
watch it and run it occasionally and walk

118
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:58.679
around and follow the circuits. A
lot of these said newer timers have a

119
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:03.960
test chirking on them. Try and
you let it go for one minute and

120
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:07.039
walk all the way around and follow
it. And then you might get some

121
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:11.799
utility flags or or a rock or
anything to put next to the sprinkerhead that's

122
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:18.519
got a problem. Then either replace
it or maybe adjust it or something.

123
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:22.879
And on the sprinker system, we
try to make an effort to teach people

124
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:26.840
how to adjust the sprinker heads.
And there's so many people that when the

125
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:31.159
sprinker system's done, the contractor just
kind of walks away and they don't know

126
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:35.080
how to run their timers, they
don't know how to winter rise it,

127
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:39.480
they don't know how to adjust the
sprinkler heads. So wow, they're kind

128
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:45.679
of left high and dry well.
Yeah, so you need to know all

129
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:48.799
this stuff. It's because it's basically
very simple. Adjusting a sprinkle head is

130
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:52.480
very simple, and even replacing them
is like replacing a light bulb, so

131
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:56.600
really quite simple. So the customer
needs to know that, and they also

132
00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:01.320
need to know how to program a
timer, and the installer needs to make

133
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:05.039
note of the type of soil you
have and the absorption rate and the slope

134
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:09.919
and all that other stuff and program
it accordingly. So, for instance,

135
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:11.919
if you have a real steep slope, you want to use a sprinkler head

136
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:16.639
that maybe a rainbird one point five
nozzle. They just tribute water fairly slowly,

137
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:20.200
just so just run down the hill
wasted. Yeah. Yeah, so

138
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:24.799
you have to consider the absorption rate
of the soil and also the runoff rate

139
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:28.639
based on the slope too when when
calculating a say a sprinkler system on the

140
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:33.639
hill, just so it doesn't run
down, go down the curb and make

141
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:41.759
all the turtles happy in the river. So, just just like wire in

142
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:46.200
your house or even building a computer
and stuff like that, there are just

143
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:52.000
some common sense things you need to
follow in order to make it succeed without

144
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:58.200
wasting money. That's really sprinkter systems. Make sure they're engineered, and you

145
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.759
should have a diet. I'm showing
where the pipes are and all of this

146
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:05.320
stuff so when you plant a tree, you won't hit a wire and sprinter

147
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:09.440
piper. Good. Hey what we're
gonna take aquick break. It's eight twenty.

148
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:13.399
We'll be right back after this two
minute timeout. Hike magnetics here from

174
00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:37.519
you to talk to our expert,
Larry Glass. He is one eight hundred

175
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:39.879
and seven four nine five nine three
six Lauri WIT's neck. We were talking

176
00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:43.480
about cutting back stuff. Yeah,
and it's a bit too late to cut

177
00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:46.559
back your jailious. I've done before
in July and the work I did it

178
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:50.000
for a customer. It's a long
time ago downtown. Yeah, you say

179
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:54.440
so, Larry, They're just too
big. Can you cut them back?

180
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:56.039
Okay, I'll cut them back properly. There's no problem. She went and

181
00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:58.360
said, okay, have that.
A turk av chi came outside and she

182
00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:03.480
goes, oh my gosh, what
did you do? You said, worry

183
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:09.840
not, worry not. And then
uh, in March we got a call

184
00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:13.200
and said, oh they blooms so
beautifully. That's so funny. You're welcome.

185
00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:18.960
I've done that was in Yop on
the Hollys too. But it's too

186
00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:20.120
late to cut them back. You
might kill it if you cut them back

187
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:22.840
at this point, you need to
do that in the spring. And then

188
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:28.320
we did one two years ago and
it turned it into a dear antler.

189
00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:33.399
Yes, she came out and looked
at me. Look at that, she

190
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:39.679
wrote, You know the check how
might shallow? You walked in the house,

191
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:43.240
and right now is it's small again
and beautiful and just fine. So

192
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:48.919
the timing of pruning is very important. Oh yeah, that's a kind of

193
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:52.840
the point I'm making right now,
is uh. And if it blooms in

194
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:56.360
the spring, you don't want to
cut it back. Your sorcer magnolias and

195
00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:58.759
you know, spring blooming hydrangs and
things like that, you really want to

196
00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:03.000
kind refrain from coming back at this
time. Okay, we talked about coming

197
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:07.440
back earlier, right after the boom
in the year, but right now it's

198
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:11.399
the absolute cutoff time. You can
you can cut it back, but they

199
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:15.919
really won't produce very many flowers because
the days are getting shorter, and it

200
00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:22.879
causes a change in the in the
way the tissues and the adventitious tissues differentiate

201
00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:28.519
between blooms and leaves. And so
right now that's what's happening. I go

202
00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:31.559
to people's house, I went to
somebody's house yesterday and their dogwood that they

203
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:35.000
don't cut it back because and I
showed her with a tiny boom to starting

204
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:39.360
to form on the tips, and
I said, oh my goodness. Yeah,

205
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:41.720
because of our spring we had with
the rain. I said, it's

206
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:43.600
going to be a good year for
dogwoods. Next year they're going to boom.

207
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:46.600
Right this year, this year was
a very good year too, But

208
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:50.759
this next year I think it's going
to be a really stellar year for the

209
00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:56.799
dogwood booms. So anyway, also
still trying to plant okra in the garden.

210
00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:00.840
You can still get a crop of
okra in and maybe some beans in

211
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:04.639
the garden. To cut off the
suckers on tomatoes and plant them in the

212
00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:08.240
mud if you want more tomatoes.
I don't ever cut the suckers off of

213
00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:12.200
mine. They just grow. And
I've got these big, massive vegetation.

214
00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:18.759
Yeah, you got pumpkin size tomatoes. No tomatoes, but you got a

215
00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:25.480
lot of education. I'm never home, I never see them, so maybe

216
00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:29.720
tomorrow I'll take them up. They
got one growing up on an ornamental windmill,

217
00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:33.879
and they well, that's interesting,
especially when the wind blows about pruning.

218
00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:41.320
Yeah, that's so I got to
take them up. Usually use a

219
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:44.519
little t shirt and cut it into
strips, and that makes it really good

220
00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:48.039
because it stretches when they grow.
But anyway, so that they need to

221
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:52.879
be cut back a little bit too, thind out somewhat. Fertilizer. You

222
00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:55.200
bring me your grass. If you
have to meets the water, I'd like

223
00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:59.559
to use maybe a sixteen percent nitrogen
ferti lightser at this point, or if

224
00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:03.200
you use a thirty percent. Not
you didn't just throttle back a little bit

225
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:06.640
on the amount to put on there, so it's kind of time to do

226
00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:11.039
that last application for a Jelli fertilizer
at this point. Typically Zealius you bloom,

227
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:15.319
and right after the bloom a month
later than a month later this March

228
00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:19.400
April than May, and June would
be the last one. But it's not.

229
00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:25.279
June is July. It's two weeks
away from June, so if you

230
00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:30.559
missed the boat, sorry. The
values are particularly sensitive to being fertilized,

231
00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:34.519
especially when it's hot like this,
so when you fertilize, you want to

232
00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:40.759
water them really heavily before you fertilize
them, and then sprinkle of fertilizer not

233
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:45.400
at the trunks, but generally in
the in the area around them. So

234
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:48.680
a general application of fertilizer, you
can just kind of throw it out there

235
00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:53.359
a little bit and then water it
again because the surface roots of the zelli

236
00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:56.960
is are very shallow and they can
burn very easily from being fertilized. And

237
00:17:57.079 --> 00:18:02.119
follow the directions on the on the
container very implicitly, especially right now when

238
00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:06.240
it's hot on your azalea fertilizations,
because too much can you just when this

239
00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:11.400
heat can just burn them up.
So it is really the latest time for

240
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:15.839
the for the last small fertilization of
your zalees. So make sure also that

241
00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:19.839
they're molds real will. I do
like to use the cedar molts. It

242
00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:22.880
does help sort of keep the bugs
away because they don't like that cedar.

243
00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:27.920
It looks nice, and it helps
moderate the peaks and valleys of moisture in

244
00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:33.720
the ground. Gotcha. By making
more consistent moisture, they do a lot

245
00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:37.759
better. We have some people their
zealis are absolutely just stellar, just beautiful

246
00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:45.160
plants, and some people that are
just kind of and typically the ones that

247
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:49.359
liquoral batter are not really multi real
Will, So it's important to do that.

248
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:53.759
Uh Is, Oklahoma is probably one
of the last places you expected ice

249
00:18:53.799 --> 00:19:02.200
to grow naturally. Yeah, because
because of our type and are rather abrupt

250
00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:07.960
changes in seasons here, so we
have to moderate that somewhat and we follow

251
00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:11.559
through with some mulch and some watering. It's a little bit of fertilizer.

252
00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:15.240
And they do find they had that
very well. There's a house we did

253
00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:21.119
in Woodland Park. They have the
circular bed by the driveway. Planet As

254
00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:26.720
days there in nineteen ninety eight.
Yeah, you're still there, so,

255
00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:30.440
yeah, they just followed the guideline. We did a sprinker system for them

256
00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:33.319
all, so it kind of taught
them how to run it and all that

257
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:38.359
and stuff just looks great. It's
almost like set it and forget it.

258
00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:41.440
But really you're taught. Well,
you get into a routine and you know,

259
00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:44.440
you kind of know what to do
after a while. Yeah, so

260
00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:48.279
yeah, and then it's like a
no brainer. Okay. Anyway, at

261
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:51.039
the nursery, we have container and
B and B trees. It can be

262
00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:55.279
planted at anytime. We're planting trees
right now as we speak. You are,

263
00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:57.160
that's right, you were telling me
about that. Yeah, and just

264
00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:03.480
don't try to move them. Hostas
are blooming right now. The encorez Alias

265
00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:07.839
are opening up a little bit.
The encore Zalia, it's a different type

266
00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:12.400
of vizalia. They bloom in the
spring and then again pretty much consistently in

267
00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:18.119
the fall. But when the weather
changes here in the summer, in other

268
00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:22.599
words, it can be three or
four thousand degrees one day, the next

269
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:26.319
day it's you know, two hundred
below zero. That not just being perceived

270
00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:33.319
anyway warm. If it cools down
after a long warm fill' that'll spur them

271
00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:37.759
onto bloom a little bit. So
you'll have a few flowers popping off when

272
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:40.440
the weather shifts in the in the
summertime, and then in the fall they

273
00:20:40.440 --> 00:20:44.079
put on a really really good show
too. We did have a good show

274
00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:48.759
a last fall with the encore zalius. But they can be a little bit

275
00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:52.359
picky when it comes to winter.
So you want to make double duty sure

276
00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:56.119
that they're really well watered and well
moltched going into the winter for them to

277
00:20:56.119 --> 00:21:02.440
do well. Okay, So,
because it comes down to hardininess and over

278
00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:07.720
here we're at the very very tip
top of the hard inness area for uncoors

279
00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:11.000
and we have to compensate for that
by putting some extra mulch and keeping them

280
00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:15.319
pretty well watered into the winter.
It's all about taking it business. It

281
00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:19.640
might be kind of difficult when your
garden hose fits on ice cubes, and

282
00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:22.440
it's been known to do that,
but it's not like that every day here

283
00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:26.039
in the window. No, no, we gets real cold for about six

284
00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:30.079
weeks and then yeah, my daughter
was born in December. Yeah, and

285
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:34.839
Grandma made all of these little knitted
things to wear to take home. It

286
00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:42.319
was seventy five degrees, you know, with the with the ice, with

287
00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:45.839
people to do the artificial ice every
now and then for their communities. Yeah.

288
00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:49.160
Yeah, sometimes right around Christmas we
get a little surprised, like it's

289
00:21:49.160 --> 00:21:55.599
seventy one, and then it's not
untill I right after New Year's does it

290
00:21:55.759 --> 00:21:59.000
like all of a sudden you get
really cold, Yeah, for about you

291
00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:03.079
know, a couple of weeks,
and then back then good stuff. Yeah,

292
00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:07.880
Kevin opens the front door and it
cools down the whole city. Yeah,

293
00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:11.319
it's pretty chilling here right now.
We're going to chill in just a

294
00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:15.200
little bit. We're going to take
a break and we'll be right back after

295
00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:19.440
this two minute dame out. Summer's

sep. Four three six. That is

324
00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:45.680
our toll free numbers for the Green
Country Gardener program and our expert Larry Glass.

325
00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:48.000
Yeah, people will say, well, how can I prevent weeds in

326
00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:51.880
my garden? Real? Well,
how can I? There's several methods.

327
00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:57.319
One to just get a lawn share
require Another one is a very heavy layer

328
00:24:57.440 --> 00:25:00.960
mults. That's a pretty good job. And you got multi by the ton

329
00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:07.319
and exactly by the truckload you met. And another one is pre merchant oversides.

330
00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:12.960
Oh here you go. A pre
emergent overside really doesn't prevent the weed

331
00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:18.319
seed from germany, or doesn't kill
the seed for that matter, just checked

332
00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:23.559
instead there was system. Development of
a young seedling is somewhat limited by the

333
00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:29.240
action of the pre emergent overside,
killing it before it quote emerges in quote

334
00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:33.519
it. It still grows and comes
up, but it stops for development.

335
00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:41.720
Typically, it's how a pre emergent
overside works, so it will if applied

336
00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:45.640
before germination. However, the pre
emergent will control the seedlings of annuals or

337
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:48.960
perennial weeds, and some seeds are
known to the last you know, fifty

338
00:25:49.039 --> 00:25:53.880
years in the ground before they sprout. So yeah, that's that's the weirdest

339
00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:57.000
thing. I did not know that
when I moved into my house, but

340
00:25:57.039 --> 00:26:02.160
twenty some years ago. There are
some hollyhawks growing on the north side over

341
00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:03.240
here, and it'd come up in
the middle of the yard. I just

342
00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:07.759
move around them. And then in
the last five years none of them have

343
00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:12.680
showed up. But this year one
of them came up. So I'm mowing

344
00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:15.440
around this hollyhowk plant. I hope
the next to our neighbor doesn't cut it

345
00:26:15.480 --> 00:26:21.039
down with her. We take it
to a weed anyway, I said,

346
00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:26.119
they're back, yeah, anyway.
So pre emergence work to control that,

347
00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:32.519
keep that from happening, and they
control the ceilings of annual imprenial weeds and

348
00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:36.039
some of these are known in the
last fifty years or so. The herb

349
00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:40.319
side. If it isn't applied each
year, that sea will eventually grow.

350
00:26:40.599 --> 00:26:44.079
So it's kind of an ongoing battle
between you and the weeds, really,

351
00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:49.440
and I've done a lot to control
the mulberry weed this year with pre emergent

352
00:26:49.480 --> 00:26:56.119
herbside. It just a thing that
just went through my yard like a plague.

353
00:26:56.480 --> 00:26:59.200
It's this plant that comes up and
even when it's this tall, that

354
00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:04.960
developed seed just like two days after
it sprouts starts making seeds, and then

355
00:27:06.039 --> 00:27:10.119
the seeds. What they do is
that the seed pot drives up into pups

356
00:27:10.119 --> 00:27:15.319
and seeds spread out all so you've
got one plant coming up shoots out,

357
00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:19.240
you get ten plants each one of
those shoots out and it just works exponentially.

358
00:27:19.599 --> 00:27:26.440
Like the mobery weed is a plant
that that leaves is somewhat scallop on.

359
00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:30.640
It reminds of a kind of a
moboid plant. It's a genus is

360
00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:36.279
Fatua and it's from Japan and it
when it gets to your garden, when

361
00:27:36.279 --> 00:27:45.279
you let it get in there,
it just takes over everywhere. Control is

362
00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:49.519
crazily done with a good layer of
molds or using the periodically use a pre

363
00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:56.480
merchant overside so you can control them
with the management, or you can just

364
00:27:56.039 --> 00:28:03.640
do like I who pull them up
again before they get rooty good. The

365
00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:08.480
biggest question about the pre emergent weed
killers is basically when to apply them.

366
00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:14.400
Pre Emergent orb sized only work if
they're applied to your lawn garden prior to

367
00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:17.880
the weeds coming up. So if
you have a weed problem, you put

368
00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:21.079
this on there and you say it
didn't work, well, it's because you

369
00:28:21.799 --> 00:28:26.839
need to understand the mechanism it works, and basically the mechanism is to stop

370
00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:30.920
the development when they first come up. It will not kill an existing plant

371
00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:38.880
well pre emergency do not. They
work before that happens. So typically you

372
00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:44.240
put them in the March for the
spring about the middle of March or craybrass

373
00:28:44.279 --> 00:28:51.039
and so on. In September for
the inbit and the uh uh, the

374
00:28:51.079 --> 00:28:57.279
winter weed, chick weed, chickweed
in union there's too big the top two

375
00:28:57.400 --> 00:29:02.680
weeds in the yard, the weeds, So it's kind of timing is very

376
00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:07.279
important on that you sort of be
ahead of the game and typically as time

377
00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:11.319
goes on. We discussed when is
the time to do that on the show

378
00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:15.720
here, and there are several kinds, different varieties, different names of these

379
00:29:15.920 --> 00:29:21.240
pre murgers. All the mechanism is
pretty similar and some of them are really

380
00:29:21.279 --> 00:29:23.319
really strong. You better be careful
how you how much you put on there.

381
00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:30.079
Too much can really cause a sterilization
of the soil problem. So you

382
00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:34.640
would be very careful about the proportion. And then know your surface area of

383
00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:38.160
your lawn. That's pretty easy to
measure link times with it's your surface area,

384
00:29:38.839 --> 00:29:42.200
how much the lawn area you have. And then what I'd like to

385
00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:47.839
do is say I have a ten
thousand square feet and I put the amount

386
00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:52.599
of herbicide necessary for ten thousand square
feet and then dilute it and then spray

387
00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:57.759
it on the yard and until that
dilution is used up, and that does

388
00:29:57.799 --> 00:30:02.799
a pretty good job. Just like
that, Yeah, exactly, And about

389
00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:07.480
three months or so is a lifespan
of a typical pre emergence, so you

390
00:30:07.559 --> 00:30:14.319
might have to reapply, especially with
panegraphs that yeah, oh, I've got

391
00:30:14.319 --> 00:30:17.279
some draggrass out a size of that
are golly, they're the size of a

392
00:30:17.720 --> 00:30:26.799
dawn redwood trees. Goodness anyway,
So pre emergent herbicide is another way to

393
00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:32.240
help control weeds in the lawn and
in the landscape. But you have to

394
00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:36.680
be very careful not to over apply
because that can cause some damage to your

395
00:30:36.680 --> 00:30:40.039
plants. Okay, indeed, all
right, let's take a quick break.

428
00:33:19.720 --> 00:33:22.319
do you have for us? Oh? Yeah, looking at the red eye

429
00:33:22.359 --> 00:33:25.519
here, it's just dying. Just
support gets to gets to town. These

430
00:33:25.559 --> 00:33:30.039
dude grew real good up in Kansas. It hit Oklahoma, then it hits

431
00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:37.559
a Wasshington County and fizzle fizzle down. Well, we can at least water

432
00:33:37.640 --> 00:33:44.000
to buy the water. We got
a small mist here, then the rest

433
00:33:44.119 --> 00:33:50.440
missed and may get make it real
miserable this afternoon. Anyway, Let's talk

434
00:33:50.440 --> 00:33:52.480
a little bit about the love lolly
pine. Let's do that a little love

435
00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:55.160
all. I was a kid in
Georgia. We had them all over the

436
00:33:55.200 --> 00:33:59.240
place. Yeah, they're probably the
whole place is covered in lava. And

437
00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:01.000
we had it so big you can
reach around them hardly, big old nice

438
00:34:01.079 --> 00:34:06.440
trees. Huge thing. You can
build an entire house with one tree in

439
00:34:06.480 --> 00:34:09.840
the backyard. Oh, they get
about six thousand feet tall. They're pretty

440
00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:13.480
much No, they're not that big, but they get pretty good size.

441
00:34:14.039 --> 00:34:20.039
It's one of the fastest growing of
the southern pine. This lobbally pine is

442
00:34:20.119 --> 00:34:23.199
used as a quick screen and many
landscapes. We planted somewhere around town and

443
00:34:23.239 --> 00:34:28.639
thee to do pretty well here.
The North American native has dark green needles

444
00:34:28.679 --> 00:34:34.119
and a narrow red brown, often
two cones together on it in the north

445
00:34:34.199 --> 00:34:37.000
and three to six inches long or
so Anyway, it grows in a wide

446
00:34:37.079 --> 00:34:42.400
variety of soils, and it's draught
tolerant. Nice. So that's why it

447
00:34:42.400 --> 00:34:46.679
does well here probably. Okay,
it gets sixty to one hundred feet,

448
00:34:47.480 --> 00:34:52.760
Well that's just that's a lot of
lobbying. But not here with a twenty

449
00:34:52.800 --> 00:35:00.559
five or thirty five foot spread.
But not here. I'm afraid climate's a

450
00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:02.199
little too extreme for them to get
that tall. We have a whole lot

451
00:35:02.199 --> 00:35:07.360
of wind and they want they start
bending a little bit. They're all tilted

452
00:35:07.400 --> 00:35:13.719
to the to the south northeast.
Yeah, I got a nice bush that

453
00:35:13.840 --> 00:35:15.719
did that. Yeah, it kind
of looks like a blongs and a Popeye

454
00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:22.639
movie, you know. So,
because because of its soil tolerance is probably

455
00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:24.559
the reason why they do pretty well
here, because you can go from one

456
00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:30.000
place where the soil is really good
and a block away it's just terrible.

457
00:35:30.599 --> 00:35:35.559
We have so many variations in our
in our soil type and depth over in

458
00:35:35.599 --> 00:35:39.639
this town. That is, if
you don't really know what what what the

459
00:35:39.679 --> 00:35:44.159
soil is like, it is difficult
to do with landscape design because of the

460
00:35:44.280 --> 00:35:52.800
soil variations. So anyway, it
grows in the wide rides soiler, and

461
00:35:52.840 --> 00:35:58.800
I guess twenty five or th zone
six to nine were our zone six point

462
00:35:58.960 --> 00:36:02.800
five, So we're trying to be
at the northern limit of it, really

463
00:36:05.039 --> 00:36:10.960
so. But it does pretty well
here despite that. Uh. It grows

464
00:36:12.440 --> 00:36:15.119
in acid soils, loamly soils,
most soil, sandy soils, well drained

465
00:36:15.320 --> 00:36:21.239
and even play soils. While they
prefers normal moisture, this tree can tolerate

466
00:36:21.400 --> 00:36:25.840
some flooding and moderate drought. They
say moderate, you know. And it

467
00:36:25.960 --> 00:36:30.679
transplants pretty easily. Kid, it's
a very highly developer system. We planted

468
00:36:30.679 --> 00:36:37.320
some yeah love olivines at various parts
in town. They seem to be succeeding

469
00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:50.360
quite well except when the deer rudther
antlers on them got that yeah so at

470
00:36:50.400 --> 00:36:57.000
the needles are six to ten inches
long and they produce a very dry oval

471
00:36:57.039 --> 00:37:01.559
brown cones that are three to six
inches in linked good Christmas decorations on the

472
00:37:01.559 --> 00:37:05.920
reads. And he used the pine
cones for that. I guess we used

473
00:37:05.920 --> 00:37:15.440
to throw them in the fireplace we
were kids. So it's a pretty good

474
00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:20.000
plant to do it. The lower
branches on the law bolipine just kind of

475
00:37:20.039 --> 00:37:22.800
die off as it gets older,
so as as it grows up, you

476
00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:28.519
can anticipate in not having that lower
level of screening that is providing, because

477
00:37:28.519 --> 00:37:31.519
it will drop all of them as
it grows up and just sort of die

478
00:37:31.599 --> 00:37:38.079
off. So for the long term
it's a good screen for sayway off in

479
00:37:38.280 --> 00:37:43.079
something way off in the distance,
but up close close to the ground,

480
00:37:43.119 --> 00:37:47.280
you might consider a planting of maybe
some medium sized hullys or something around it

481
00:37:47.320 --> 00:37:52.360
too, to compensate for that lack
of lower branches as it grows older.

482
00:37:52.599 --> 00:37:53.840
Got it. So other than that, it makes a pretty good planet.

483
00:37:53.840 --> 00:38:00.840
That's pretty well here and craip myrtle
is our start of the week. Finally,

484
00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:04.960
the crpe myrtles are coming out.
It took them a long time to

485
00:38:06.559 --> 00:38:09.360
go ahead and differentiate into flowers,
and when they did it, they did

486
00:38:09.360 --> 00:38:13.519
it real quick. That little rainstorm
we had not too long ago that actually

487
00:38:13.840 --> 00:38:21.360
made it here in town helped them
a whole lot. Cratemurtles are very well

488
00:38:21.599 --> 00:38:24.199
suited for the heat, as we
well know. The only thing they don't

489
00:38:24.199 --> 00:38:29.559
tolerate to here is our occasional cold
winter, and that's been a bit of

490
00:38:29.559 --> 00:38:35.400
a problem for the last two winters. So to circumvent a significant amount of

491
00:38:35.440 --> 00:38:38.639
damage to crape myrtles, number one
you want to look for crepe myrtle scale.

492
00:38:39.880 --> 00:38:45.599
Yeah. Yeah, the crate myrtle
scale is an insect that attaches itself

493
00:38:45.639 --> 00:38:50.199
to the stem and draws the sap
out of the plant. And it's very

494
00:38:50.199 --> 00:38:55.079
easy to spot on your crp myrtles
by the blackening of the stems because the

495
00:38:55.119 --> 00:39:00.800
byproduct of their drawing the juices out
of the plant is a sugar re substance

496
00:39:01.239 --> 00:39:07.920
that also draws ants, which carry
the eggs incorporated into that sugar resubstance to

497
00:39:07.039 --> 00:39:12.599
different areas. It's kind of a
sembiosis because of scale. The scale insect

498
00:39:12.639 --> 00:39:16.320
itself, once it's attached, it's
not mobile, no, it stays there,

499
00:39:16.400 --> 00:39:22.519
yeah, and it is actually relying
on them the ants to carry their

500
00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:25.840
their eggs around to other places.
And the eggs typically come up in the

501
00:39:25.840 --> 00:39:30.320
ground and a little crater crawls up
the stem that attaches itself. There it

502
00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:36.280
go and just kind of sit there, just kind of happy as a clam

503
00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:42.000
and there. I have seen some
crape myrtles that are just about completely decimated

504
00:39:42.159 --> 00:39:45.039
from these scale insects, so you
want to be conscious of that. And

505
00:39:45.159 --> 00:39:49.679
they're kind of easy to see.
You look at the stem itself and their

506
00:39:49.760 --> 00:39:55.400
little brownish colored attachments onto the stem. They're sort of roundish if you will.

507
00:39:55.880 --> 00:40:00.400
Crape myrtles typically have vertical a striations
in there in their bark, and

508
00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:04.599
this kind of breaks that and then
you'll be able to see it that way.

509
00:40:04.639 --> 00:40:07.320
And also, like I said,
the mold, the city mold on

510
00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:10.599
them does a giveaway that they do
have some scale. And also the leaves

511
00:40:10.599 --> 00:40:15.079
will exhibit some city mobile them too, and you'll be you'll have diminished bigger

512
00:40:15.079 --> 00:40:21.639
in the plant and diminished blooms on
it. Also, So how do you

513
00:40:21.639 --> 00:40:24.639
get rid of scale insight? How
do we do that? Captain Jack's dead

514
00:40:24.639 --> 00:40:29.639
bug is one. It's my favorite. It's uh it's spin is add and

515
00:40:29.840 --> 00:40:35.559
also amid a culprid systemic insecticide worked
very well. It takes time for the

516
00:40:36.039 --> 00:40:40.000
systemic insecticide to get into the plant
for it to work. So if you're

517
00:40:40.039 --> 00:40:43.360
at a point now where you have
a lot of credite morble scale, you

518
00:40:43.440 --> 00:40:49.079
might consider using a twofold approach with
the systemic as well as the c J

519
00:40:49.360 --> 00:40:57.360
D dB. Yeah, cab Jacks
dead than guys. Cap Jack's also good

520
00:40:57.440 --> 00:41:01.280
for a good variety of insects that
are in the tree. The back of

521
00:41:01.320 --> 00:41:05.280
the name that good. It's got
to be got to be good. And

522
00:41:05.400 --> 00:41:10.639
this is such organic it is,
Yes, it is. Well we've mentioned

523
00:41:10.679 --> 00:41:15.320
it before, but it was found
in a sugar factory to Rica. I

524
00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:17.639
thought I thought at first it was
a rum factory, but it turned out

525
00:41:17.679 --> 00:41:22.800
it was actually sugar. You hear
all different stories. But anyway, and

526
00:41:22.239 --> 00:41:27.039
it's it's quite effective. I've used
it in my yard for several things.

527
00:41:27.119 --> 00:41:30.360
That's why I had a bumper crop
of plumbs this year. Nothing pre ate

528
00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:37.840
them, nothing ate them up.
Yeah. So and it's uh, and

529
00:41:37.199 --> 00:41:40.800
it really works kind of across the
board as far as controlling insect life is

530
00:41:40.880 --> 00:41:45.679
concerned, be very careful mind your
your your plants. That of course at

531
00:41:45.719 --> 00:41:52.760
the monarch butterplace are attracted to.
Try not to use two insective sites around

532
00:41:52.800 --> 00:41:57.760
that. At this point in time
that monarchs are forming their caterpillars and their

533
00:41:58.440 --> 00:42:01.599
crystal I are forming and all that
in the grill and turn into him a

534
00:42:01.880 --> 00:42:06.440
butterfly. Ye, beautiful butterf So
you want to be conscious of that.

535
00:42:07.079 --> 00:42:10.800
And before you spray for worms and
caterpillars and stuff on your plants, you

536
00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:15.840
want to look at at your target
piss first, and if you do have

537
00:42:15.079 --> 00:42:20.000
some monarch larvae on there, you
want to be careful not to spray,

538
00:42:20.119 --> 00:42:22.800
then don't do that. Okay,
all right, let's take a quick break

539
00:42:22.920 --> 00:42:29.440
and we will be back after this. Let's see three and a half minute

540
00:42:29.480 --> 00:42:32.840
time out. Frank Phillips, the
old man with barred wire nerves and the

541
00:42:32.960 --> 00:42:37.320
courage of a wolf, didn't realize
his own capacity to love until after the

542
00:42:37.400 --> 00:42:42.639
death of his dear wife Jane in
nineteen forty eight. He no longer heard

543
00:42:42.679 --> 00:42:45.000
her laughter in the mansion in town, nor enjoyed the long drives out to

544
00:42:45.079 --> 00:42:49.639
his beloved wool Rock where they would
often go to share an evening dinner.

545
00:42:50.519 --> 00:42:53.320
After her death, he found himself
waking to the cold reality of her absence,

546
00:42:53.719 --> 00:42:59.559
and confided to others that his soul
ached. More and more of Frank's

547
00:42:59.559 --> 00:43:01.559
time was being spent at the ranch, sitting on the front porch of the

548
00:43:01.599 --> 00:43:07.920
lodge and enjoying the magnificent view and
likely reflecting back on an incredible life of

549
00:43:07.039 --> 00:43:12.519
personal and professional accomplishments. However,
without his wife in the chair next to

550
00:43:12.639 --> 00:43:16.400
him, these simple joys became shallow
to Uncle Frank. After her death,

551
00:43:16.440 --> 00:43:21.119
those around Frank soon discovered that he
had one desire, and that was to

552
00:43:21.159 --> 00:43:24.039
build a masolem at Woollarock to serve
as a final resting place for Jane and

553
00:43:24.159 --> 00:43:29.280
himself. He had picked out the
spot years before, a favorite spot that

554
00:43:29.360 --> 00:43:32.599
overlooked one of the beautiful lakes that
dotted the grounds of the ranch. Inspired

555
00:43:32.639 --> 00:43:37.719
by the memorial built for his good
friend Will Rogers and Claremore, the mausolem

556
00:43:37.880 --> 00:43:43.360
soon became the primary focus of Frank's
life. Once construction started on the mausolem

557
00:43:43.440 --> 00:43:46.360
in nineteen forty nine, he personally
came out every day to see how work

558
00:43:46.480 --> 00:43:51.760
was progressing. Frank wanted it within
walking distance of the lodge, yet not

559
00:43:51.920 --> 00:43:54.280
directly in the public eye, which
is why he chose the site above Elk

560
00:43:54.360 --> 00:43:59.960
Lake, one of his favorite fishing
holes at Willarock. Built of native stone

561
00:44:00.199 --> 00:44:02.599
with no cut edges, the tomb
appeared to spring from the side of the

562
00:44:02.679 --> 00:44:07.400
hill as if it was part of
the terrain. Workmen blasted through eighteen feet

563
00:44:07.440 --> 00:44:12.320
of solid rock to form the burial
chamber, and the twenty four square foot

564
00:44:12.400 --> 00:44:16.360
room was lined with a twelve inch
steel reinforced concrete wall. The chamber was

565
00:44:16.400 --> 00:44:22.400
air conditioned and a telephone was installed. Inside the mausolem is a circular rotunda

566
00:44:22.480 --> 00:44:28.920
outlined by eight columns of Saint Cecilia
marble imported from Italy, which rises ten

567
00:44:29.000 --> 00:44:32.199
feet to a dome. The walls
are covered with thousands of mosaic tiles,

568
00:44:32.559 --> 00:44:36.800
and in the center of the room
is an eight pointed star formed by the

569
00:44:36.840 --> 00:44:40.039
different shades of marble. Construction took
about a year, and as soon as

570
00:44:40.079 --> 00:44:45.400
it was completed, Frank had Jane's
casket brought from White Rose Cemetery and a

571
00:44:45.480 --> 00:44:50.199
memorial service was held at the new
mausolem. To his friends and staff,

572
00:44:50.559 --> 00:44:54.199
Mister Phillips seemed happier than at any
time in recent years. His final work

573
00:44:54.320 --> 00:44:59.280
was completed and he could return to
the porch of the lodge, which he

574
00:44:59.400 --> 00:45:04.800
did until his death on August twenty
third, nineteen fifty. The magic of

575
00:45:04.840 --> 00:45:07.599
Wollarock is a story worth sharing,
and it can be found everywhere at this

576
00:45:07.760 --> 00:45:14.880
National treasure. Come see it for
yourself and welcome home to Wallarock. Hi

tolerant perennial native actually right here.
It prefers a fertile, well drained soil.

596
00:46:47.960 --> 00:46:52.719
What doesn't really and falls apart sun. It tends to spread out,

597
00:46:52.800 --> 00:46:57.360
so give up lots of room.
Color can't be beat in the hot summer

598
00:46:57.440 --> 00:47:00.079
sun. It's a good plant to
have around for the hot summer. And

599
00:47:00.199 --> 00:47:02.880
we do sell a lot of cone
flowers at the nursery, a whole bunch

600
00:47:02.960 --> 00:47:07.039
of them, and in several varieties
too. They're not all just old purple

601
00:47:07.079 --> 00:47:12.320
ones anymore. You've got white and
pink and purple and orange and mango and

602
00:47:12.440 --> 00:47:15.480
so on, all these different colors
that are available right now. Used to

603
00:47:15.519 --> 00:47:20.800
have one ketchup and mustard. Well
listen, I don't know if we can't

604
00:47:20.840 --> 00:47:24.079
get them anymore, but it was
a yellow and a red one. So

605
00:47:24.360 --> 00:47:28.239
con flower is one you can have
in the garden and give it lots of

606
00:47:28.320 --> 00:47:31.400
room in the garden too. Theyre
does like a lot of open open space.

607
00:47:32.000 --> 00:47:36.800
So even if you have something,
say in the backward by the fence

608
00:47:36.920 --> 00:47:39.639
or something in the backyard, you
might consider planting some cone flowers in there

609
00:47:39.719 --> 00:47:44.800
because they're very care free plants.
They do, however, head a tendency

610
00:47:44.880 --> 00:47:51.280
to kind of spread and grow and
become a very dominant species. You can

611
00:47:51.400 --> 00:47:53.960
use that to your advantage by transplanting
them here and there in the garden too,

612
00:47:54.760 --> 00:47:58.320
or to get them away air just
just kind of thin them out if

613
00:47:58.320 --> 00:48:02.440
you want to. Also, but
they're a very plant, is very well

614
00:48:02.480 --> 00:48:07.159
suited for a climate here. The
fertilization is minimal, watering is minimal,

615
00:48:07.239 --> 00:48:09.760
and then too you don't want to
water them too much because they tend to

616
00:48:10.079 --> 00:48:15.159
ride if you wanted them too much. Okay, So, and as far

617
00:48:15.239 --> 00:48:22.400
as hardiness, the trade is carried
through all the different colors, there about

618
00:48:22.440 --> 00:48:24.800
the same level hardiness on the on
the cone flowers. It's a good plant

619
00:48:24.840 --> 00:48:32.599
to have. And then annual would
be the lantanna annual Lantana. Butterflies love

620
00:48:32.639 --> 00:48:37.800
this as well as the cone flowers. Oh really yeah so, and really

621
00:48:37.880 --> 00:48:40.159
to do an effective butterfly guarden,
it has to be about as big as

622
00:48:40.199 --> 00:48:45.480
this room, which isn't really that
big. No, I just gotta say,

623
00:48:45.559 --> 00:48:50.840
you know, you're not out much. It's it's what ten by two

624
00:48:50.960 --> 00:48:53.559
four six, ten by twelve feet
that's about not the size of one.

625
00:48:54.000 --> 00:48:58.360
It has to be fairly good sized
because butterflies they just kind of go with

626
00:48:58.440 --> 00:49:05.239
the wind and they won't specifically go
to your yard to find a butterfly garden.

627
00:49:05.440 --> 00:49:08.920
They just kind of wandering over look
at their Yeah, they have a

628
00:49:09.000 --> 00:49:15.039
special eyesight that practically predictlar flowers,
I guess, and they'll go in and

629
00:49:15.119 --> 00:49:20.000
find it. So it's just kind
of a rambling thing, if you will.

630
00:49:20.079 --> 00:49:22.920
But anyway, it's good. But
we do need to help the monarch

631
00:49:23.000 --> 00:49:30.119
butterfly populations and having a butterfly garden
gives them some sustenance. And not only

632
00:49:30.239 --> 00:49:35.679
that, but you do want to
have flowers at the larva can feed on,

633
00:49:36.159 --> 00:49:39.000
and that's the milkweed. We sell
just tons and tons of milkweed plants,

634
00:49:39.760 --> 00:49:44.440
So you want to associate your butterfly
gardens with some milk weed as well,

635
00:49:45.079 --> 00:49:49.559
so the larvacon have something to eat. And also you need to educate

636
00:49:49.639 --> 00:49:53.679
yourself on the different stages and the
appearance of the different stages of the monarch

637
00:49:53.760 --> 00:50:00.280
butterfly you mistakenly do some harm stray
one that you if you thought was something

638
00:50:00.320 --> 00:50:06.360
else. And we had one lady
came in. She brought in a picture

639
00:50:06.360 --> 00:50:10.199
of a I've got all these these
worms like these evening plants, and with

640
00:50:10.280 --> 00:50:15.199
those are monarch butterflies, and she
started crying, she's so upset with herself.

641
00:50:15.239 --> 00:50:19.480
We're springing them. So you really
need to kind of need to know

642
00:50:19.559 --> 00:50:22.679
what they look like. And you
can find that information online all over the

643
00:50:22.760 --> 00:50:28.679
place, So it's pretty easy to
find information on monarch butterflies and what they

644
00:50:28.719 --> 00:50:30.960
look like. But anyway, or
we can show you at the nursery because

645
00:50:30.960 --> 00:50:35.480
you've got a little butterfly garden there
we do. We have this little cage.

646
00:50:35.880 --> 00:50:40.519
Occasionally we'll have some larvae we'll find
and put the milk. They eat

647
00:50:40.599 --> 00:50:47.639
up the plants and they grow and
develop in this monarch and this butterfly thing

648
00:50:47.719 --> 00:50:51.800
we have. Anyway, so any
come by the nursery and check it out.

649
00:50:51.800 --> 00:50:53.719
We've got a whole kinds of stuff. Plants for your butterflies, plants

650
00:50:53.760 --> 00:51:00.239
for your honeybirds, plants that tolerate
the heat and the cold, and stuff

651
00:51:00.280 --> 00:51:02.000
that grows in the shade in the
sun, all kinds of Japanese maples,

652
00:51:02.480 --> 00:51:07.239
beautiful plants right now and really nice
in the spring when they come out,

653
00:51:07.360 --> 00:51:10.440
and ELFs and dog with trees and
everything else. So been a good show,

654
00:51:10.559 --> 00:51:15.320
Tom, keep that shovel sharp.
We will see you next week.

655
