Good morning, good 8 00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:54.520 morning, good morning, good morning. Welcome, Welcome to the Green Country 9 00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:57.399 Gardner Program. I am Tom, I just answered the phones around here. 10 00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:00.280 Are our guest, our guru, our man who knows a lot of things 11 00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:03.359 about a lot of things. Larry Glass is our Green Country Gardener. Hey 12 00:01:03.400 --> 00:01:07.120 doing, Larry? I think it's gonna take me three months to cool down. 13 00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:14.799 You've been out in this this blasted heat for gosh good six weeks straight 14 00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:19.319 here and now we got we got temperatures coming up in the seventies here. 15 00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:21.799 Where What are you going to do with yourself? I don't know. When 16 00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:25.480 the heat index hits about four thousand degrees. Usually we'll quit the end of 17 00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:30.319 the day. But a portal hat here, it just holds itself up. 18 00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:34.040 All the dried up sweat and mud on it. Well, I can't read 19 00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:38.760 the letters on it. You're lucky it hadn't disintegrated to the bar. I 20 00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:42.400 think I'm gonna take me in Alaska cruise. I think that's telling bad. 21 00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:49.439 We're in a bit of a yeah, but a bit of a transition time 22 00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:53.920 right now, okay, from the blistering heat of the summer to the cooler 23 00:01:53.920 --> 00:02:00.000 weather. And I guess some people have tried out their irrigation systems. And 24 00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:04.760 I spent the better part of the day yesterday running around town. What were 25 00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:08.159 you doing getting sprinter systems up and running again? I haven't used it all 26 00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:14.759 year. It's it's a timer issues primarily. But once they get that solved 27 00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:17.960 in, it's okay. So what I'm just I guess some overuse it, 28 00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:23.039 just quipped so I told him what to get. They ordered it, and 29 00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:27.080 I got it all done up for him. That's great. Now used their 30 00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:31.840 chef phone to run their their just like you do. It's so nice it 31 00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:38.520 is anyway, And another one out in Osage County it just blew out just 32 00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:43.199 the timer just it's been in there since the day code was twenty sixteen. 33 00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:47.560 Okay, that's so a little bit of time. Yeah, thirteen years. 34 00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:53.199 Yeah. And I asked him, was electricity strange out here? Just? 35 00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:58.840 Oh yeah, it's just it is more than strange strange. So it's got 36 00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:04.199 a generator. Talk about that even Yeah, so whoops. Anyway, blew 37 00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:10.319 out the secondary switchboard on it, just like it was literally smoking up. 38 00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:15.599 I bet it was. It's a timer with these modules. And I pulled 39 00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:20.080 out one of the modules to just to check on it. Check the circuit 40 00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:23.000 board. It's fine. And and what happened to the switch board underneath there 41 00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:29.120 where it takes to the information from the timer and switches it and up scales 42 00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:36.240 it to twenty seven volts? So do you like your timer's deep pride or 43 00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:40.400 extra Christmas? Of course, he said, I'm goody, goody goodie, 44 00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:47.599 and get a new one. Oh my gosh. Anyway, back in the 45 00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:53.240 garden, and actually we can probably not worry so much about it with the 46 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:55.000 cool weather the rain, I mean, with the with the rain coming and 47 00:03:55.080 --> 00:04:00.319 the cooler temperatures and all that. Bermuda graphs is pretty a few I haven't 48 00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:04.319 watered my lawn in three years, I believe that. And it comes back 49 00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:09.680 after the rain that you guys were supposed to let come down this week. 50 00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:15.519 Well, Sunday night, it'll be back back up and running just fine Sunday 51 00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:20.439 night Monday morning. Yeah, but green is green can be so anyway, 52 00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:26.079 there's some other things I'd rather do with my water than water permuter grass. 53 00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:29.959 Yeah. So fall is in the air, the heat is off, so 54 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:32.600 it's time to get to work. There you go right now. Our fall 55 00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:38.040 moms will be here shortly. Don't get slickered into buying just s anthemums right 56 00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:42.279 now, don't know, because they're gonna usually when they say they're forced to 57 00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:46.199 bloom this early in the year, and when the time comes for them really 58 00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:48.519 to be a bloom, all all the flowers will be gone. So you 59 00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:51.720 don't want to really try to make them bloom too early. Oh, you 60 00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:59.079 can get a few. I'm just for declaration here and there, but kick 61 00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:01.600 him out when the n put in the gardens were over with. Anyway, 62 00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:06.319 they're not cars. Athemums are a very tolerant platus wars and the weather is 63 00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:13.759 concerned. And if you have kept your mums cut back throughout the summer or 64 00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:18.040 water door through even if they're alive, they should start blosing. Your prisoners 65 00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:24.279 should be able to see some little tiny blooms forming them. Yeah. So 66 00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:32.720 anyway, panzies, we've got twenty twenty two thousand flats of pansies. That's 67 00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:36.920 a lot, yeah, this year. So we're exporting a lot of them 68 00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:40.199 too. We'll have a whole bunch of really nice pantees coming on too, 69 00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:45.519 going right here in your own backyard, so right now. Also, if 70 00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:48.240 you're annuals looking at a poor someone could be cut back. I've got some 71 00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:56.439 the going is at my house. You need to be going. It looks 72 00:05:56.480 --> 00:06:00.240 like they got a attack from some alien or oh zap, you know. 73 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:04.199 But they can be cut back on the the sun Collier's also it's really quite 74 00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:09.560 tall. It's been a it's been a winner this year, the sun Collius. 75 00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:14.720 And oh I forgot to turn on my water front bedge today. I 76 00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:18.480 went and got the mail last night. Everything he was just anyway, and 77 00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:23.399 your phone's in the truck, yeah, the truck. That's okay, all 78 00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:28.519 right, poor, leave all forty five minutes. You'll be fine earlier. 79 00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:31.720 But anyway, that the sun. Colius has done very well and it's one 80 00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:34.959 of the annuals that seems to be able to survive a wide variety of the 81 00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:40.879 weather conditions. And we've planned some in the landscape and they've done really quite 82 00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:45.639 well so and they can be cut back right now. They have a little 83 00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:47.800 bit of false show if you want, so if they're a little bit tall, 84 00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:50.920 have some in pots. Ever, got leave just about three and a 85 00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:55.079 half. Yeah, pretty good, pretty good size about speaking tall. Cutting 86 00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:59.720 back last weekend. So anyway, so it's just kind of a transition time 87 00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:04.439 like okay, so also a great time to plant trees. We have some 88 00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:09.879 new inventory and really nice slicking stuff. I was looking at it yesterday and 89 00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:15.399 we get stuffed this locally grown nice it's just within you know, one hundred 90 00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:18.000 miles down in Tulsa. There's several farms down there and that's where we like 91 00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:21.920 to grow to get our stuff from. So that's pretty cool. So they're 92 00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:26.439 acclimated and some of the maple trees look a little a little tattered, if 93 00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:29.639 you will. They had some wind down there, as you know, just 94 00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:36.199 a gentle breeze. So the leave it's like a little a little bit forward, 95 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:41.120 but when they turn color, they'll be all brilliant color. So so 96 00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:45.160 a little too early for big baldon brood trees. I don't like to move 97 00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:48.000 them when it's hot baldon brock trees. I like to move maybe a month 98 00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:51.199 from now. But if you really really want one, we can get one 99 00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:55.839 for you. We can do it. Boy, better wait till October. 100 00:07:55.959 --> 00:08:01.519 Yeah, it's just a little early for that. Yeah, uh so. 101 00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:03.680 And he also on the tree. So I back the trees. It's time 102 00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:11.519 to do some fertilization on them. Also around not on. Yeah, you 103 00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:13.399 want to encourage the riots to stretch out. Also, A good rule of 104 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:20.439 thumb when watering something is uh and the water doesn't go very fast into the 105 00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:24.240 soil is to run a slow water for a long period of time rather than 106 00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:30.040 a fast water in a short period of time. My neighbor across the street 107 00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:37.000 was on vacation. I guess he migrated to a cooler climate for a while. 108 00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:41.159 They went down to the Southern Hemisphere, and it wanted me to water 109 00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:45.960 his tree. So I got five gallon bucket drive the eight of an inch 110 00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:50.120 hole in and put a rock in it and then pour some ut some water 111 00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:56.519 in it. And it slowly goes down into the ground solutely but surely surely 112 00:08:56.559 --> 00:09:00.840 goes something ground. And that's one one way to water it. Another way, 113 00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:03.159 if you do use the hose, make sure you do it in the 114 00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:07.000 morning. Primarily, reason is the water gets hot in the hose, so 115 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:11.200 and just let it trickle. Just leave it there and just let it trickle 116 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:18.039 for a while. But don't forget. Don't forget. But that's the reasoning 117 00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:22.960 behind using a five yallards like over with a small hole in it. It 118 00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:26.960 doesn't forget, it just runs out. It does what it does exactly, 119 00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:31.240 and you can several times. I had to refill it twice because it was 120 00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:37.080 really really dry, especially in my neck of the woods when we have just 121 00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:41.960 a little bit of dust on top of the rock. The five raptic people 122 00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:46.480 were in there surveying the land and they have fun, don't though. They 123 00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:50.440 couldn't get the flags in the ground bending the little metal there. And I 124 00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:54.120 said, but normally the guy just throws it. It sticks everywhere in the 125 00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:58.080 neighborhood. The whole neighborhood has done except for my street corner. Well, 126 00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:01.159 you know, keeps bound. It's off like bullets from Superman's chest. You 127 00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:07.360 know, I'd like to see what they do there. They said, there's 128 00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:09.919 sun parts in town where they just simply couldn't get through. So they just 129 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:13.080 throw their hands and we'll get back with the hair. And I said, 130 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:16.759 well, y'all can just put a wireless in ten of somewhere and whatever he's 131 00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:20.799 got to get back come back with a bigger hammer. I don't know how 132 00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:26.120 many driveway, I said, but you're probably why I'm not replacing line. 133 00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:28.799 I said, these fence posts over here, I had to use the jackhamer 134 00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:31.080 to get him in the ground. I had to rent a jackhammer, oh 135 00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:35.080 my, to dig a hole big enough to put a fence post in. 136 00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:39.480 You know, it's shot a solid, solid rock still is. But the 137 00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:41.519 thing is, when it rains, it's kind of a low spot in the 138 00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:46.279 yard. It's gone. As it's raining, it'll have water on the surface, 139 00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:52.639 but a few minutes later it's gone right. Only on the way down 140 00:10:52.720 --> 00:11:00.039 to Marvel Cave Park. Anyway back to the yard, it's time to you 141 00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:03.360 also install fescu seed, okay for your grass. There you go grass, 142 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:09.440 right. You want to try to get the moisture levels up pretty good. 143 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:11.159 In a soil party, they don't. Don't put fescue on dry ground. 144 00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:15.080 It doesn't work. After the birds get done with their share, the wind 145 00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:20.480 will blow it away a bag of grass. Man. Yeah, so it's 146 00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:22.440 kind of dry right now, so you might want to wait till end of 147 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:26.960 the week or some time after we've had some rain ly scratch the soil or 148 00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:31.039 do a shallow a shallow till on it so the seed doesn't just blow away. 149 00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:35.360 So you want to integrate it into the soil pretty good. So I've 150 00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:39.919 seen that so many times. And the river bank is pretty and green feest 151 00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:46.960 grass. Wow, that's a green little river bank there. Have it there? 152 00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:50.960 Well, that's Morty's yard. And take a take a shovel and see 153 00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:54.120 if you can dig out a chump of dirt and see if you can break 154 00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:58.279 it up the begin the roots aren't going to go into that, so you 155 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:01.440 might want to just just hold off on it. If you haven't irrigated, 156 00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:05.200 you might just want to hold off a little bit on planting fescue. Seed 157 00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:11.720 material acquisition would be a probably a good thing because it's not as common as 158 00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:16.039 in the past, so that's some difficulty with it, and the cost is 159 00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:20.080 going up a little bit too. So in order to control the high costs 160 00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:24.519 of the seed, you might want to measure your square footage just so you 161 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.600 know exactly how much you need. Do the math it pays. Yeah, 162 00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:31.840 all right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back after this 163 00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:35.320 two minute time out. When there's work to do, ground to break, 164 00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:41.000 and a reputation to uphold.

And he's 195 00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:22.159 eight twenty three, And boy, I gotta tell you, it's a beautiful 196 00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:26.480 day today to get out and about. I just don't know what where we're 197 00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:28.440 gonna do out there. It's kind of that tweener period. I really I 198 00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:31.080 went off the back door today, let the dog out and kind of check 199 00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:37.039 on things from WHOA what happened? It's a nice and cool it hit this, 200 00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:39.759 uh like you know, fifty six degree. Yeah, that's a walking 201 00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:46.360 on a hot fry pan. Yeah. Hey, your fist you see probably 202 00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:48.879 about a four inch chilling. It'll be good. Yeah, you need that. 203 00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:50.519 You really want those roots to get down in the soil, what to 204 00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:56.360 be established, so and just scattering on top of the ground, just something 205 00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:00.279 if you're really serious about it. Just scattering on the ground, it's not 206 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:07.919 enough unless your soil is really really loose. Good luck here. You might 207 00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:11.320 add a little compost maybe up in independence, it's what you really want on 208 00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:17.320 on the on the good fescue lawn is good deep roots, and because of 209 00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:21.080 our clay content, a lot of times the roots system doesn't go down that 210 00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:27.559 deep and the grass is shallow rooted can't tolerate these periods of brightness. Not 211 00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:30.960 to say it won't come back when it cools down. The fescue grass, 212 00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:36.480 we'll look, if we get some good steady occasional rain there and cooler weather 213 00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:41.200 and some it will really come back and look nice. But if the soil 214 00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:44.639 is just real heavy, it's just it'll just be difficult for because the roots 215 00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:49.240 just can't simply can't go deep, and it's not as as heat tolerant as 216 00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:55.799 sapermeter grass and so always your for that matter. So anyway, so it's 217 00:16:55.799 --> 00:17:00.159 a little bit of work involved also in picking your grass seed. Look at 218 00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:02.840 the trees you have right now, while the leaves are still on there if 219 00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:07.880 they're leaves left anyway, Look look down, look at the at the amount 220 00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:10.519 of light getting on the ground right there too. I know Bermeo grass, 221 00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:14.880 it really doesn't like dappled light too well. But fesca grass will tolerate dappled 222 00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:21.839 light. Vesta grass is shade tolerant, and the word is tolerant, not 223 00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:26.880 requiring. Yeah, so it will grow in the sun with some occasional buttering 224 00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:32.319 occasion with too fine but it but it will tolerate, you know, some 225 00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:36.519 shade to the point. And the more shade you that it's uh that it 226 00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:38.720 encounters, the more the higher the grass should be too. You really can't 227 00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:42.960 cut it too low in the shade beneath that surface area for two things, 228 00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:49.359 transporation and photosynthesis for it to grow, so they plants to they're solar powered 229 00:17:51.079 --> 00:17:55.400 there. Yeah, so you gotta you can't give it a skin job. 230 00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:56.839 You gotta. You gotta let that thing kind of grow out a little bit. 231 00:17:57.119 --> 00:18:00.559 It don't put your African violence in the closet, and so it won't 232 00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:06.079 work that way. I don't need that that light in order for them to 233 00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:10.960 live in a heavy shade situation like that. It really won't work. So 234 00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:12.759 you might have an arbors come in, maybe thin out the tree canopy a 235 00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:18.599 little bit, just so some I can get down there, and once that 236 00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:22.200 crateria is met, then you should be able to grow some some fescue grass. 237 00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:26.920 We did that worked out is fine, yeah, Or you can plant 238 00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:29.559 some fescu seed. It'll do fine. I'll w along them in the summer 239 00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:33.279 hits it will you get five top thoria beared around together and started getting in 240 00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:38.440 the fall. Maybe this year, maybe next. Maybe it won't get hot 241 00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:42.240 this year, right, yeah, welcome to Oklahoma. Anyway, that's the 242 00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:47.440 nutra. You have some new shrubs in some dwarf yop on holies and mandedas 243 00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:52.480 and and and all that too some months of the year shortly a little earlier 244 00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:59.519 for blooms. We do have some fescue seed right now. So anyway, 245 00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:06.160 just about any fine bladed fescue will do you know, give the ground and 246 00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:08.519 or course I don't know the k y thirty ones. Okay, but it's 247 00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:12.039 a clump forming. Some of the new fescues or rice I made us. 248 00:19:14.039 --> 00:19:17.000 In other words, they don't just clump, they send out kind of like 249 00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:19.160 permitter grass. Okay, so they spread out a little bit of that. 250 00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:26.599 Yeah, they form a clump forming, so Trump checked that out too. 251 00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:29.759 Also, a good time to do some planning for your landscape. I know 252 00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:33.119 I've got some plans out. I've been out there suffering, suffering, slaving 253 00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:37.440 away in the heat. Well that too, And I haven't had a chance 254 00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:41.880 to get back to him pretty quick. But anyway, so and I got 255 00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:47.279 to meet with somebody today after the show about some landscaping. So gave you 256 00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:49.119 some ideas of what to do. We're kind of there's a weather it's kind 257 00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:53.079 of backed up our crew quite a bit, and uh so we're a little 258 00:19:53.119 --> 00:20:00.359 behind schedules. Can understand, Yeah, be working outside all day. Things 259 00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:06.319 out there like extreme heat, volatility, things like that, deploy retention to 260 00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:12.880 geez. So it's a good time to plan and fall and winter and early 261 00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:18.079 spring or a good time to do your installations on your landscape. And if 262 00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:19.680 you have a guide to plan you can follow. It's not that hard to 263 00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:22.880 do. So we can give you some tips on what to do. And 264 00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:25.960 a lot of people have really gotten to shovel and dug in on it and 265 00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:32.839 they've done pretty well with it. So there you go, There you go. 266 00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:36.680 So don't be afraid to do it yourself. Just don't try to take 267 00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:42.480 the whole thing at once. Yeah, take take take it easy. A 268 00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:47.160 lot of stages in landscaping. Number one is inventory. What is there on 269 00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:51.240 the site? It's worth anything? Yeah? And can you keep it? 270 00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:55.799 Can it be cut back and to be retained? Can it be trans transplanted 271 00:20:55.920 --> 00:20:57.160 yet? Yeah? Can you can you keep those things? Yeah? So 272 00:20:57.359 --> 00:21:02.440 sometimes there's actually a good bay there where some plants can be retained, and 273 00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:04.359 then some of the plants look a little nicer over there, saying, and 274 00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:07.680 some of them, well, I'll let it get out of hand, it's 275 00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:10.119 way too tall. Well, depending on the species, they can be cut 276 00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:15.079 back rather sternly and you just find and thrive. Yes, but you have 277 00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:18.200 to make sure you know what you do it at A wind is the most 278 00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:22.599 important thing. Yeah, A real heavy cut back on shrub shouldn't happen until 279 00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:27.559 February because it's a Valentine's Day. Mean, yeah, but if you do 280 00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:32.319 it right now, they really won't be tempered well enough for the winter. 281 00:21:32.599 --> 00:21:36.119 No, and you can lose things like backwoods and all that. The tender 282 00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:40.160 growth chis gets killed back and sometimes you can go go further into the plant, 283 00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:42.759 and the same with dwarf fie upon hollies and whatnot. You just don't 284 00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:48.519 want to trend in back right now, very sternly. So deciduous plants are 285 00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:52.599 okay, crape myrtles and whatnot. They can be cut back a little bit 286 00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:56.720 right now. They're not going to go hardly anymore so so anyway, So 287 00:21:56.400 --> 00:22:02.079 so you have and then you have a hopefully a landscape plan or some ideas 288 00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:04.440 what you might want the landscape to look like. One thing you can do 289 00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:07.599 if you want me to do a plan is a site. An example is 290 00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:12.119 something you see you really like, an address, I probably know about it 291 00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:17.720 already anyway, dard in the yard in the area. I've done that so 292 00:22:17.839 --> 00:22:19.680 many Oh I know that house. Yeah they've got this and this and this 293 00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:26.000 and this all up the front. Okay, cool, so brick ranch with 294 00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:32.640 daffodils. So if you see an example, you can cite an example and 295 00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:37.880 then something that could be emulated somewhat, depending on your drainage and your exposure 296 00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:42.200 and your social high and your time frame you have to maintain it, so 297 00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:45.960 on, so on. All those things have to be factored, and then 298 00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:48.640 you get to the budget too. Got a crunch the numbers, yea. 299 00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:52.319 And sometimes we can do the ground prep and get ready. Then you can 300 00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:56.599 put the plants in yourself. That people have done that all the cart like 301 00:22:56.720 --> 00:23:03.079 that, and the in the expense it's the same except you know, paying 302 00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:07.839 the labor costs for putting in plants. But it does have less of a 303 00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:11.599 warranty though one you do it yourself. So yeah, I'm at that stage 304 00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:18.680 in my life for I'm letting the pro do it. Okay. You know 305 00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:23.000 ten years ago might have been different, layer, I'm telling you nowadays a 306 00:23:23.079 --> 00:23:26.079 little extra point. Like a lot of things, you need to start with 307 00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:30.000 a goal. Yes, what do you want this to look like? That's 308 00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:34.960 what the plan is for ye create your goal. Okay, all right, 309 00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:37.279 I think we got a caller here. Let's go ahead and try it right 310 00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:41.279 here and good morning. Welcome to the Green Country gardener. Good morning, 311 00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:45.720 good morning. What's the best get rid of my moles in my backyard? 312 00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:51.720 Moles? See a dermatologist? Oh no, no, not that one. 313 00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:59.799 There's a Moles do not like castor oil. They're absolutely absolutely repelled by it. 314 00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:03.359 And it would be a good good place to start. Where do you 315 00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:07.440 get cash? Roil. We have it in a granular farm at the nursery. 316 00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:08.920 At the nursery, other people have it too. You can put it 317 00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:12.880 in your spreader and spread around and water it in and when they go through 318 00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:17.440 it irritates her little nose. And at the nursery we have that. We 319 00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:21.960 also have a little poison worms you can put in there. And what you 320 00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:26.480 do is you have to define their their main tunnel on that. In other 321 00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:29.400 words, you go ahead and pack them all down and whatever tunnel comes up, 322 00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:33.440 it's their main tunnel. And then you drill in or dig into that 323 00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:36.160 and put the poison worms in that. If you put it in a lateral 324 00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:40.359 chances are they won't get it. So that and and and then there are 325 00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:45.079 physical traps too you can use. Also. Thanks for the tips. Okay, 326 00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:49.240 so let it. Let them take the little little worm and kind of 327 00:24:49.400 --> 00:24:53.920 you know, let the grass grow like like a caddyshack, and it's get 328 00:24:55.440 --> 00:25:00.480 a fire hose in there and the water coming up over the y looking it's 329 00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:04.319 freakley system started. One is a more removent. You got to irrigation says, 330 00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:07.400 oh my god, we've gotta dig a break. We'll be right back 331 00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:11.640 out here. This minute time about fall is finally here and it's time for 332 00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:17.079 fall planting.

It is a eight thirty 356 00:27:17.279 --> 00:27:21.440 five sixty two degree. Is a who a warming trendler. And yeah, 357 00:27:21.799 --> 00:27:23.319 our phone lines were open at one eight hundred and seven, four nine, 358 00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:27.319 five, nine three six. What we got next year on the old Jim 359 00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:32.160 Oh, let's say tree the week, Let's talk about the saw. Let's 360 00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:37.400 do that. Quercus acutissima. Easy for you to say. It is a 361 00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:41.759 an unusual leaf shape for a no tree. It's right along and narrow and 362 00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:45.640 has little tiny points on it, and the venation is parallel on the leaf, 363 00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:52.279 and the leaf is somewhat wavy. Okay, appearance. It grows a 364 00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:56.000 very sturdy tree, actually quite hearty and raised sturdy, and he grows a 365 00:27:56.079 --> 00:28:00.799 good straight trunk on it, and it's it's it's a pretty good tree. 366 00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:04.680 It wouldn't probably wouldn't be in our first chalice, no, but wouldn't be 367 00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:07.839 your last. It wouldn't be the last, no, But but it does 368 00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:11.920 pretty well here. It it seems to be taking the drop very well too. 369 00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:15.559 There were some plants along along Madison over there, just south of No 370 00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:19.200 Water Road, in front of the neighborhood over there south few. I think 371 00:28:19.240 --> 00:28:22.160 it is okay all along there, and they're doing really very well. A 372 00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:26.720 couple of them got frozen out though last year before last or last year, 373 00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:33.279 which I found that unusual. And it was collisident with a with a shallow 374 00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:37.240 limes from the soil right there, so I played the big bang a big 375 00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:41.000 pack from that too. It's probably too dry there in the wintertime for it, 376 00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:42.920 and it just didn't didn't make it so it wasn't the cold, it 377 00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:47.079 was the dry. Yeah, a lot of a lot of plants drive dive 378 00:28:47.160 --> 00:28:49.240 out in that. Big trees died, and a dry cold spell we had 379 00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:52.680 too. So if it's going to get cold on this and other trees, 380 00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:56.799 you might want to consider watering them, but before otherwise it's hard to get 381 00:28:56.839 --> 00:29:00.400 the water through the hose when it's frozen. But keep an eye on the 382 00:29:00.440 --> 00:29:03.240 weather, like it's a little weather charts. We got here it was like 383 00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:08.880 negative ten. You might want to water your stuff. There's been dry You 384 00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:12.640 know something you and I have lived in Chicago. Yes, we we we 385 00:29:12.799 --> 00:29:18.759 know negative ten without the windshield. Yeah, when we got negative can a 386 00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:22.400 couple of years ago without the windshield here, I'm like, what is going 387 00:29:22.519 --> 00:29:25.920 on here? Yeah? I know. I can remember as a kid we 388 00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:30.559 took the bus to school and it was a way across the field and I 389 00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:33.240 had all these houses lined up, and you can tell which ones the clothes 390 00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:38.200 drivers are going go warm our hands on the on the steam coming out of 391 00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:45.640 a clothes dricker waiting for the bus. Yeah. Yeah, like my dad 392 00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:48.440 said, I walked ten miles every day and it's not to school. Yeah, 393 00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:52.799 right, show me a picture. Yeah, I walked up, you 394 00:29:52.839 --> 00:29:56.920 know, five hundred feet in the cold. It was long enough, just 395 00:29:56.039 --> 00:30:00.880 school bus, you know, long enough. See over there, it's it's 396 00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:04.319 snowed on Mother's Day one year that I believe we're giving them a saddle left 397 00:30:04.359 --> 00:30:11.240 to go to church and there's snow everywhere. What's going on? So anyway, 398 00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:17.000 Yeah, it does because it does grow and has grown in some limes 399 00:30:17.640 --> 00:30:19.279 foil around here. Sure, it does seem to be able to tolerate the 400 00:30:19.440 --> 00:30:25.880 pH differences more so than say a shumart oak, okay, or a pinoak. 401 00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:30.519 Especially pinocs just simply will not tolerate too high a pH. They get 402 00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:33.640 the colorosis real bad and they just kind of get weak and they sort of 403 00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:38.240 fall apart, start following under vehicles and what they do. So in some 404 00:30:38.359 --> 00:30:42.279 parts of the town that if you want to create the salt tooth might might 405 00:30:42.319 --> 00:30:45.680 be a good, pretty good choice, okay. On a negative aspect of 406 00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:52.119 it is the leaves persists in the winter. They don't fall off, okay, 407 00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:53.960 And that could be a good thing. That could be a bad thing, 408 00:30:55.039 --> 00:30:56.279 since they're kind of brown and hanging in the breeze and you know, 409 00:30:56.359 --> 00:31:00.160 it's kind of ugly. Yeah, got a little bit of the ugly in 410 00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:06.039 the wintertime. If you really want a tough trade that'll grow anywhere, even 411 00:31:06.079 --> 00:31:11.079 on top of asphalt, Chinese helm would be a good one. Yeah, 412 00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:15.960 they're they're actually, there's some good ones growing downtown in that soil if you 413 00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:22.759 will, between the sidewalks. Dude, pretty well. So anyway, there 414 00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:26.039 are other other plants, but I just thought i'd mentioned this one that if 415 00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:32.319 you're exploring different possibilities, might be a one to explore for its sturdiness. 416 00:31:32.640 --> 00:31:38.960 It's a deep root system and say compatibility with things. But at least you 417 00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:42.200 won't have to break up the leaves all at once or pick it up off 418 00:31:42.279 --> 00:31:49.640 your roof. It's kind of an interesting tree too. So anyway, and 419 00:31:49.920 --> 00:31:56.359 our shop of the week is uh compact Nandina Impact. Now, people say, 420 00:31:56.440 --> 00:32:00.079 I don't want these Nandina's up all over my guard. How big do 421 00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:06.119 they get? Well, the compact Nandina had some tendency not to spread. 422 00:32:07.079 --> 00:32:10.400 You get some of the old fashioned nandinas and uh, you know they they 423 00:32:10.480 --> 00:32:15.279 send out runners, sure, and the plants come up all over under the 424 00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:20.880 driveway and the next block over and so on, and they sort of form 425 00:32:20.920 --> 00:32:24.119 a bramble if you will, got one of those Bible fans where it's just 426 00:32:24.200 --> 00:32:29.160 a big bramble of Nandina. But the compacts don't do that. The obsessions 427 00:32:29.200 --> 00:32:30.759 don't do that, and the dwarf Nadinas don't do that. Okay, So 428 00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:35.599 get that picture out of your mind when coming pick up a Nandina. It's 429 00:32:35.640 --> 00:32:40.920 gone because it's ain't gonna do that. Ain't gonna happen. And what I 430 00:32:42.039 --> 00:32:46.640 like about the Nandina's their nursery means, ye know, savior. I guess 431 00:32:47.559 --> 00:32:54.799 there is no insect problems, but no disease problems, and evergreen for the 432 00:32:54.880 --> 00:32:58.720 sun part unless it gets really really cold like this last when you get a 433 00:32:58.720 --> 00:33:02.160 little brownish this last one, and they defoliated, but they all pop back 434 00:33:04.279 --> 00:33:07.680 so nicely. Yeah. So the compact Nandina and the obsession Endiana and all 435 00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:10.079 that, and they don't these the dies don't spread, They don't have any 436 00:33:10.119 --> 00:33:15.960 bugs or anything like that. So they're pretty good plants. And uh. 437 00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:20.559 One thing about about the compact one is it happens to have some berries associated 438 00:33:20.599 --> 00:33:24.400 with it too. They do, and whereas the obsessions don't. Their their 439 00:33:24.440 --> 00:33:29.680 primary attribute are their leaf color on it, and the moon bays and the 440 00:33:29.720 --> 00:33:31.960 gulf streams, they're a good compact one. Also, I see a little 441 00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:36.759 bit of spread on the on the gulf streams, but the moon based and 442 00:33:36.839 --> 00:33:39.079 a hold that pretty well. But I think the color of the obsession is 443 00:33:39.160 --> 00:33:45.519 superior to the to the other. Nandina's good. And you can't beat the 444 00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:49.440 winter color of a dwarf Nandiana either. If you get some afternoon sun on 445 00:33:49.559 --> 00:33:52.440 it turned a bright red color. Oh yeah, nyah, we saw a 446 00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:55.240 lot of in the wintertime. I bet you do. When the colors are 447 00:33:55.519 --> 00:34:04.160 just like like those buttons over there, that's red red, and the leaves 448 00:34:04.319 --> 00:34:07.119 stay throughout the winter unless it gets really really cold. Then the sort of 449 00:34:07.199 --> 00:34:12.079 collapse and fall apart. They they have a tolerance level everything else. And 450 00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:16.159 I like to associate those with say box woods or dwarf Are you up on 451 00:34:16.239 --> 00:34:22.199 hollies? Just so we have some winter interest, not necessarily the entire composition, 452 00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:25.920 but vignette of that if you will, in the landscape. So you 453 00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:30.840 do have some interest in the winter. But when you're doing designed, don't 454 00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:35.119 do everything in pernicles. You need something in the backdrop. Yet, what 455 00:34:35.239 --> 00:34:39.840 we mentioned in this design thing there you think the fourth dimension, fourth fourth 456 00:34:39.920 --> 00:34:49.599 dimension. Stop stop anyway, Yeah, I notice, tell me by that 457 00:34:49.679 --> 00:34:53.360 that's another plant that is a good workhorse in the landscape. And here in 458 00:34:53.719 --> 00:34:58.280 our weather and in our environment over here, we have just so many things 459 00:34:58.960 --> 00:35:06.159 affecting these plants, field or rapid temperature changes, moisture variations and you know, 460 00:35:06.280 --> 00:35:08.920 hot sun and insect attacks and someone. If you want to pick out 461 00:35:09.000 --> 00:35:14.039 something that has the least amount of that issue with it, some of these 462 00:35:14.239 --> 00:35:16.760 other plants, they put them in the ground and they just they're attacked by 463 00:35:16.960 --> 00:35:21.719 spider mics or something like that. And so try to keep it as easy 464 00:35:21.760 --> 00:35:24.280 as possible. And these plants, the door, the nandinas, and the 465 00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:28.719 door nandina is in the box within the door. Field plants, they're good 466 00:35:29.199 --> 00:35:32.400 background plants. There's stability plants, anchoring plants, foundation plants, if you 467 00:35:32.480 --> 00:35:37.440 will. And then in front of that you plant other things that set it 468 00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:40.599 off. Yeah, annuals and perennials or whatever, and maybe some variegated lario 469 00:35:40.760 --> 00:35:45.440 or something like that to give it some some more interest. Very good. 470 00:35:45.920 --> 00:35:47.639 It's all nice optics. I like that. So it's all it's all in 471 00:35:47.719 --> 00:35:54.360 the in the composition and height variations, and the tolerance of your schedule I 472 00:35:54.480 --> 00:36:00.159 told you, or the just science. There's art going on here. Your 473 00:36:00.199 --> 00:36:02.039 schedule of how you can maintain this stuff. What do you want to maintain? 474 00:36:02.280 --> 00:36:05.760 Yeah, and so on. All these factors have to plan today. 475 00:36:06.559 --> 00:36:09.559 Very good. That's why we take the plan and take it to Larry. 476 00:36:09.679 --> 00:36:14.039 He makes that thing work. All right, We're gonna take a quick break. 477 00:36:14.159 --> 00:36:19.000 We'll be right back after this two minute time. Out Fall is finally 478 00:36:19.079 --> 00:36:22.119 here and it's time for fall planting. And Green Thumb Nursery and Greenhouses has 479 00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:27.599 hundreds of new trees and shrubs to choose from. It's the best selection of 480 00:36:27.639 --> 00:36:30.440 the year on their trees. And it is also time to sow fescue seed. 481 00:36:30.639 --> 00:36:36.000 And right now Green Thumb has fescue seed five star blend Heagy. Green 482 00:36:36.039 --> 00:36:39.119 Thumb Nursery and Greenhouses where all your fall planting open seven days a week, 483 00:36:39.320 --> 00:36:44.599 nine to five Monday through Saturday, tend to four Sunday. That's Greenton. 484 00:36:44.679 --> 00:36:50.599 There's Green Greenhouses on the water Road. Who do I call to get my 485 00:36:50.719 --> 00:36:53.840 trees trimmed? Kelly Banks Tree Service? Who can grind up these stumps in 486 00:36:53.920 --> 00:36:58.920 my yard? Kelly Banks Tree Service. There's a dead tree right by my 487 00:36:59.079 --> 00:37:01.519 house and I'm nerves it might fall. Were you better call Kelly Banks Tree 488 00:37:01.599 --> 00:37:06.840 Service. What's that number? It's nine one eight three three five seven thousand. 489 00:37:07.119 --> 00:37:10.000 It's nine one eight three three five seven zero zero zero. Call it 490 00:37:10.119 --> 00:37:15.800 today for your tree trimming, stub grinding and trip removal needs. That's none 491 00:37:15.880 --> 00:37:20.639 one eight three three five seven zero zero zero nine one eight three three five 492 00:37:20.880 --> 00:37:25.360 seven thousand. Were you born from nineteen forty five to nineteen sixty five. 493 00:37:25.800 --> 00:37:30.639 People born during these years are five times more likely to have hepatitis C, 494 00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:34.719 but most people don't know they are infected, So even if you try to 495 00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:38.000 eat right, exercise, and take care of yourself, you can still have 496 00:37:38.199 --> 00:37:44.199 hepatitis C, a serious liver disease that often has no symptoms. In fact, 497 00:37:44.519 --> 00:37:49.239 people can live with hepatitis C for decades without feeling or looking sick. 498 00:37:49.719 --> 00:37:54.119 But over time, hepatitis C can cause serious health problems, including liver damage, 499 00:37:54.440 --> 00:37:59.880 liver failure, or even liver cancer. Getting tested is the only way 500 00:38:00.039 --> 00:38:05.440 to know if you're infected with hepatitis C. That's why the CDC recommends everyone 501 00:38:05.559 --> 00:38:08.719 born from nineteen forty five to nineteen sixty five. Get a blood test for 502 00:38:08.800 --> 00:38:14.599 hepatitis C. Treatments are available that can cure this disease, so talk to 503 00:38:14.679 --> 00:38:19.239 your doctor about getting tested. It could save your life. A message from 504 00:38:19.239 --> 00:38:30.159 the CDC, Welcome back to the Green Country Gardener Program. It's eight forty 505 00:38:30.239 --> 00:38:31.960 six. He's Larry. I'm time. He knows a few things. I 506 00:38:32.079 --> 00:38:35.400 just answer the phones. And speaking of the phones, you can get on 507 00:38:35.519 --> 00:38:38.119 board at one eight hundred and seven four nine five nine three six Larry. 508 00:38:38.559 --> 00:38:42.880 Another shot we talk. I'd like to use in the landscape for a bit 509 00:38:42.960 --> 00:38:46.519 of seasonal color. Is the burning bush a burning bush uanam atheltum. It's 510 00:38:46.599 --> 00:38:51.440 a member of the Uantamous families. Pretty tough plant, but it doesn't really 511 00:38:51.519 --> 00:38:54.920 tolerate drop very well, so you have to kind of monitor your planting where 512 00:38:54.920 --> 00:38:59.599 it goes and all that. We planted a sum in a project. The 513 00:38:59.679 --> 00:39:02.519 summer and the heat kind of got to the all the leaves so long. 514 00:39:04.280 --> 00:39:07.199 Now they're starting to put on new ones. Oh good, So you're saying 515 00:39:07.239 --> 00:39:10.880 they're resilient. But watching it, I remember the Juanimous family, which is 516 00:39:10.920 --> 00:39:17.400 tough, but the burning bush Juanimous elata is a excellent fall color, no 517 00:39:17.519 --> 00:39:21.320 bugs or notthing like that. It's it's easy to grow plant. You can 518 00:39:21.400 --> 00:39:23.559 cut it back. I have some of my house. Actually they have to 519 00:39:23.679 --> 00:39:29.199 keep about this high, knee high or hip high. I guess you will 520 00:39:29.440 --> 00:39:32.880 want it. It's I got one that's eight feet high, and some others 521 00:39:32.960 --> 00:39:36.679 that are, you know, six foot or hedger kind of things too. 522 00:39:36.840 --> 00:39:42.039 So examples of how you can manage your your burning bush. And if you 523 00:39:42.079 --> 00:39:44.960 get tired of it being told, just cut it back, it'll take it, 524 00:39:45.079 --> 00:39:47.239 it'll come back. Yeah, it's remember that the want of a family. 525 00:39:47.320 --> 00:39:51.519 You can't kill them and good thing. One thing I like about him 526 00:39:51.679 --> 00:39:54.079 is a very few, if any insects at all. No bugs, but 527 00:39:54.280 --> 00:40:00.400 it does have a little bit of dropt intolerance, and it it doesn't like 528 00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:04.039 the heat too well. Oh so other than that, it's a really nice 529 00:40:04.039 --> 00:40:07.320 plant. Go to the bullet chain real quick. Hi, good morning, 530 00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:09.400 and we'll welcome to the Green Country Gardener program. Your question to comment for 531 00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:15.360 Larry, Good morning? On my cannons. Do I need to dig up 532 00:40:15.400 --> 00:40:20.320 the ball? You kind of do a one on one kind of thing with 533 00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:22.719 that. I dig up at my house. I dig up some of them 534 00:40:22.159 --> 00:40:27.400 and I keep some of them in the ground, okay. And also also 535 00:40:28.199 --> 00:40:30.599 when I do my my scalp into the yard with the grass and all that, 536 00:40:30.760 --> 00:40:35.280 and and the leaves, I chop chop them up with the old snapper, 537 00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:40.519 throw that on top of the bold bed where they are and they survive 538 00:40:40.639 --> 00:40:44.159 very well with a lot of mulch on the surface. There you go, 539 00:40:44.280 --> 00:40:46.039 a little ags or something something there. Appreciate it. Thank you for your 540 00:40:46.119 --> 00:40:54.360 call. But kennibals, yeah, semihardy huh. But like I said, 541 00:40:54.360 --> 00:40:57.760 to take half of them up. And typically the ones that are in the 542 00:40:57.800 --> 00:41:02.360 ground when I grow the ones that are over go figure around here. And 543 00:41:02.480 --> 00:41:06.239 the elephant I have elephant ears in my house that are eight feet tall. 544 00:41:06.639 --> 00:41:12.960 Oh my goodness. That bathwater does pretty good. It does anyway. And 545 00:41:14.440 --> 00:41:19.679 they've been in the ground too several years and so. And one of my 546 00:41:19.719 --> 00:41:22.760 neighbors has one on the south side of our house. Been in it since 547 00:41:22.840 --> 00:41:27.440 I fifteen years. It's been there and it comes back up every year. 548 00:41:27.679 --> 00:41:30.119 That's fine. So it kind of depends on the situation too, sure, 549 00:41:30.320 --> 00:41:34.800 And if it's way out in the open, for instance, it's going to 550 00:41:34.840 --> 00:41:39.119 be subjected to a lot of damage from the environment in the wintertime. But 551 00:41:39.239 --> 00:41:46.280 if it's up against the west facing fence or if west or south facade of 552 00:41:46.400 --> 00:41:52.679 the house, it'll it'll have a better chance of surviving. Okay. And 553 00:41:52.760 --> 00:41:57.320 then you take all those leaves that you can shop up stead of throwing them 554 00:41:57.360 --> 00:41:59.920 away, you can put them on the ground and it'll keep it warmer. 555 00:42:00.400 --> 00:42:06.960 So mulch very good. Okay. We were talking about burning bush. Burning 556 00:42:07.000 --> 00:42:10.280 bush, yes, it really. It does have some fruit on it. 557 00:42:10.360 --> 00:42:15.000 The birds really like the fruit on it, and as a result, you'll 558 00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:21.840 have burning bush everywhere. It happens. But it's I know, but they 559 00:42:21.880 --> 00:42:23.960 could be planted, making a hedger out of it, or just throwing lights 560 00:42:23.960 --> 00:42:31.800 and they pull up easily. So going for you. It's it's primary thing. 561 00:42:32.039 --> 00:42:37.920 It's the extreme fault color. Okay, that's one reason why people really 562 00:42:37.960 --> 00:42:45.440 like it. And it's just distinguished some other unanimous species by the wings that 563 00:42:45.519 --> 00:42:49.960 are on the on the trunk. Wings that in other words, there are 564 00:42:50.519 --> 00:42:54.639 protrusions of the of the bark to come out, and the term is is 565 00:42:54.760 --> 00:43:00.559 wings. They're kind of quirky in texture and all that. So back at 566 00:43:00.599 --> 00:43:04.280 school we called them the winged You want of us, the winged you're want 567 00:43:04.320 --> 00:43:08.280 of us, so instead of a burning bush, you would fail your design 568 00:43:08.320 --> 00:43:10.719 if you called it burning bush, so we had to be winged. You 569 00:43:10.760 --> 00:43:16.639 want us, there are the generic form of it. We'll get up to 570 00:43:16.719 --> 00:43:22.159 fifteen feet tall. So this was some trimming will make actually kind of an 571 00:43:22.280 --> 00:43:25.199 arborist. It's a small arborists and specimen plant in the landscape. And then 572 00:43:25.280 --> 00:43:30.960 the compact ones they maybe maybe get six feet and then ruby had gets only 573 00:43:30.039 --> 00:43:32.639 five feet tall. So there's several of them right now. A lot of 574 00:43:32.679 --> 00:43:37.639 these, most of them come out or dwarf varieties and they don't really get 575 00:43:37.679 --> 00:43:43.840 that tall. But in the wintertime, just take the hedge clippers and I 576 00:43:43.960 --> 00:43:46.239 do that to mind? How hello, can you go as long as you 577 00:43:46.360 --> 00:43:50.960 want? All right? Just checking asking for a friend. Keep in mind 578 00:43:51.039 --> 00:43:53.960 they're going to grow about a foot and a half to two feet, so 579 00:43:54.199 --> 00:43:58.199 you want to trim it a foot and a half or two feet below the 580 00:43:58.239 --> 00:44:01.360 point where you want in the reach and guy in the next summer turned them 581 00:44:01.360 --> 00:44:05.360 back in the in the winter with you. When you've got that in mind, 582 00:44:05.400 --> 00:44:07.760 you got something to shoot for. Yes, after you get down through 583 00:44:07.880 --> 00:44:15.840 roses on Thanksgiving Day, take the powered take the diesel powered everybody to sleep 584 00:44:15.880 --> 00:44:22.119 on the couch and back your party. Push. We'll be back in just 585 00:44:22.280 --> 00:44:27.400 a moment with more after this two minute, ten second time out. Although 586 00:44:27.440 --> 00:44:30.920 a Republican, Frank Phillips was a man who wisely hedged his bets, and 587 00:44:31.079 --> 00:44:35.880 so it was that even though he backed the other candidate, in December nineteen 588 00:44:35.960 --> 00:44:39.239 thirty five, he invited Elliott Roosevelt, the son of President Franklin Roosevelt, 589 00:44:39.440 --> 00:44:44.519 to wool Rock. According to reports, the menu for the day was elk, 590 00:44:44.639 --> 00:44:47.760 barbecue and beer. Mister Phillips had already cooked up a plan to make 591 00:44:47.800 --> 00:44:52.880 the weekend a bit more special for Roosevelt and for the other guests. Roosevelt 592 00:44:52.920 --> 00:44:57.400 wanted to shoot a buffalo, so Frank gave him a rifle, and out 593 00:44:57.480 --> 00:45:02.000 they went to stalk their prey. Roosevelt was considered an excellent shot, but 594 00:45:02.119 --> 00:45:07.760 as the herd of massive animals roared passed, Roosevelt fired once and then twice, 595 00:45:07.079 --> 00:45:12.280 but no buffalo hit the ground. Frank's ranch manager, Griff Graham, 596 00:45:12.679 --> 00:45:17.159 seized the gun from Roosevelt, took quick aim and killed the buffalo. Roosevelt 597 00:45:17.239 --> 00:45:20.840 was embarrassed to have been such a poor shot. In front of friends and 598 00:45:20.920 --> 00:45:24.000 his distinguished host, and he took a good natured ribbing for his shooting skills 599 00:45:24.079 --> 00:45:30.119 throughout dinner, when finally mister Phillips, roaring with laughter, admitted they had 600 00:45:30.159 --> 00:45:34.280 loaded the gun with two blanks. That evening, mister Phillips had to leave 601 00:45:34.360 --> 00:45:37.559 the ranch for a meeting in Chicago, but Roosevelt remained behind to try again, 602 00:45:37.920 --> 00:45:43.320 this time with live ammunition. The next day, Roosevelt wired Frank Phillips 603 00:45:43.400 --> 00:45:47.320 the following message, sixteen hundred pounds and a beauty and this one only took 604 00:45:47.400 --> 00:45:52.960 one shot. The magic of Woolerock just as it is today. Come see 605 00:45:53.000 --> 00:46:00.880 us soon and welcome home to Woollerock.

Yeehaw, we are back. It is eight fifty five. It's 615 00:46:44.440 --> 00:46:46.800 the Green Country Gardener Program. Larry Glass is here to take your calls at 616 00:46:47.079 --> 00:46:51.280 one eight hundred seven four nine five days, three to six. Where are 617 00:46:51.320 --> 00:46:53.039 we here now, hey, Kelly, we were talking about the Brennie bush. 618 00:46:53.079 --> 00:46:59.079 Oh yeah, stuff like that, and fescue seed whatnot, stuff like 619 00:46:59.199 --> 00:47:07.840 that. The burning bush moses not hu. Well yeah it couldn't. It 620 00:47:07.840 --> 00:47:12.960 could have gotten its name from that, but it it burning bushes because of 621 00:47:13.039 --> 00:47:16.559 its brilliant fall color. It's it's a truly a maintenance shrub, free shrub. 622 00:47:16.960 --> 00:47:21.159 So big, talk a little bit about pansies. It's too early to 623 00:47:21.199 --> 00:47:22.599 think about plant and panties. So I guess what we can just talk about 624 00:47:22.920 --> 00:47:25.400 how to get the soil ready for the panzee. Let's do that. Get 625 00:47:25.440 --> 00:47:28.880 out work the dirt. Well. First of all, I got a sharp 626 00:47:28.960 --> 00:47:31.559 in your shovel. That good idea to do that always good, yeah, 627 00:47:31.599 --> 00:47:36.440 but anyway, and it gets soil really worked up. The root system of 628 00:47:36.480 --> 00:47:40.639 the panze is very fibrous and very it's difficult to exploit the area, so 629 00:47:40.840 --> 00:47:45.119 lots of organic material would help a lot too. Some people put a lot 630 00:47:45.119 --> 00:47:50.840 of blood meal in there and it gives you some essential nitrogen, some iron, 631 00:47:51.400 --> 00:47:54.440 and the rabbits don't like it too much. Too bad for the rabbits 632 00:47:54.679 --> 00:48:00.360 on the deer and the bunnies they just love pansies. But if you work 633 00:48:00.440 --> 00:48:05.679 the dirt properly, they don't like the blood meal though, so so that 634 00:48:06.079 --> 00:48:07.559 something you had to be very careful how much you put in. Also, 635 00:48:07.639 --> 00:48:10.400 if it's the norm outside you put it in, the panzies will turn into 636 00:48:12.119 --> 00:48:15.800 right scriss beats. Oh yeah, so they burned it again, it's when 637 00:48:16.039 --> 00:48:19.719 and how yeah, So you want to do it when it's cool, and 638 00:48:19.800 --> 00:48:22.760 if you integrate it into the soil instead, it just don't just don't pour 639 00:48:22.760 --> 00:48:25.679 the blood meal on the ground. It'll it'll have less of a negative effect 640 00:48:25.719 --> 00:48:30.159 on the plants. So just don't let it get too dry and don't let 641 00:48:30.199 --> 00:48:31.920 it clump up. And do this it's fine. You can also just use 642 00:48:32.000 --> 00:48:37.199 a regular you know, annual perennial type for lights or twenty ten or something 643 00:48:37.280 --> 00:48:40.519 like that, and it'll help too. They like the phosphorus, it helps 644 00:48:40.599 --> 00:48:47.079 too, So just the blood meal is a good source of readily available nitrogen 645 00:48:47.679 --> 00:48:52.760 and it helps them out a whole lot. So anyway, so viola is 646 00:48:52.840 --> 00:49:00.880 also, and I like the little tiny ones the viola is. They have 647 00:49:01.039 --> 00:49:06.079 lots of little tiny flowers on them. Huh yeah, yeah, okay, 648 00:49:06.840 --> 00:49:10.159 just fiddling around, Leary, don't worry about me. It also helps when 649 00:49:10.199 --> 00:49:15.039 you plant them to keep them moisture level as constant as possible. And a 650 00:49:15.119 --> 00:49:20.960 good layer of mulch helps a whole lot. So I sort of like to 651 00:49:21.800 --> 00:49:23.840 get the soil ready, to get the mulch down and then just put it 652 00:49:23.960 --> 00:49:27.920 inside. It's a soil, it's really loose. You can plant a lot 653 00:49:27.960 --> 00:49:34.519 of pansies in a hurry. When we do pansies or something trammercially or in 654 00:49:34.599 --> 00:49:37.760 the residential landscape, we get in there and prep a soil, turn it 655 00:49:37.840 --> 00:49:42.960 over, put in the composts into the blood metal and stuff level it out, 656 00:49:44.400 --> 00:49:49.320 putting the mulch too, and then you just take your fingers and plug 657 00:49:49.400 --> 00:49:51.760 it in. Plug it in right there. The mulch is already there and 658 00:49:51.760 --> 00:49:55.320 all ready to go. I do like the milt because the plants are a 659 00:49:55.360 --> 00:49:59.320 little bit floppy when they come in. They're not really sturdy yet, so 660 00:49:59.400 --> 00:50:04.440 they kind of he holds it in place. Yeah. So so anyway that's 661 00:50:04.480 --> 00:50:07.119 coming on, you need to think about getting your ground ready for your pansy 662 00:50:07.199 --> 00:50:13.519 plantings. And you'll get blooms on them all all summer long, summer, 663 00:50:13.559 --> 00:50:16.280 all winter long, and unless he gets down to you know, like six 664 00:50:16.440 --> 00:50:21.440 or seven hundred drinks blow zero and then then they then they kind of fade 665 00:50:21.440 --> 00:50:24.400 away, but they'll come back up. They'll recover and the flowers on it. 666 00:50:24.519 --> 00:50:28.719 So get ready for that. Also, get your your yard ready for 667 00:50:29.000 --> 00:50:30.960 for mums. You might want to put some mums, say by the front 668 00:50:31.000 --> 00:50:35.960 door something. Put some good fog color. If your landscape is like mine 669 00:50:35.960 --> 00:50:42.119 and everything looks like it's been hit with a blowtorch, a little color would 670 00:50:42.119 --> 00:50:45.440 be kind of nice. And those the pots in front, they can use 671 00:50:45.519 --> 00:50:50.639 some pansies too, Yeah, and the pansies, but mums give them some 672 00:50:50.760 --> 00:50:54.559 color. So it's kind of a time when there are a lot of things 673 00:50:54.639 --> 00:51:00.159 going on and you just need to be aware of what happened this year and 674 00:51:00.840 --> 00:51:04.800 maybe add some extra molts to help reduce the amount of watering you need to 675 00:51:04.880 --> 00:51:07.760 do next year. And it's been kind of dry like this for the last 676 00:51:07.800 --> 00:51:12.039 two years, and I'm kind of changes my motives, changing my motives, 677 00:51:12.079 --> 00:51:16.360 operandi on my front beds about what I plant, and nothing really has done 678 00:51:16.360 --> 00:51:22.920 well. Big Any Winds awards every time for having a nice shard. But 679 00:51:23.119 --> 00:51:29.199 it times it works, some times it doesn't. It depends on the plants 680 00:51:29.199 --> 00:51:32.400 you choose. Anyway, Tom Golly has been a good show this week, 681 00:51:32.519 --> 00:51:37.039 and we got a lot going on with the nursery. Is transition time from 682 00:51:37.079 --> 00:51:43.039 the heat to the more reasonable weather and looking forward to putting some stuff in 683 00:51:43.079 --> 00:51:45.440 the ground and making your yard nice and pretty. And Golly, just keep 684 00:51:45.480 --> 00:51:50.639 your shovels sharp. We will see you next week. Dignity, Compassion, 685 00:51:50.760 --> 00:51:54.159 excellence, step being home. Crematory, Bartlesville, No lot on Bostall tell 686 00:51:54.280 --> 00:51:55.280 you what we had Bartlesville
