WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:05.480 Good morning again. Welcome to the Green Country Gardener Program with our expert Larry 2 00:00:05.559 --> 00:00:11.960 Glass. Stay tuned for a free hour of fun and free advice to make 3 00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:17.960 that garden and that lawn look great. The Green Country Gardener Program has brought 4 00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:22.280 to you by Green Thumb, Nurseries and Greenhouses, Peter's True Value Hardware, 5 00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:30.039 Kelly Banks Tree Service, and United Rattles. And we want to welcome Roman 6 00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:37.079 Outdoor Power to our Green Country Gardener Program and thank you very much for investing 7 00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:40.600 in us. And of course you can be a part of the program right 8 00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:48.039 here, right now at I'm sorry at one seven four nine five nine three 9 00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:50.719 six, they got my numbers crossed up. Hey doing there, Larry? 10 00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:55.960 Okay, alrighty, Well, we haven't had so much rain as we thought 11 00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:59.159 we might get. We got missed a couple of times. Break any shovels 12 00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:03.319 out there, dig around? Oh yeah, came rack clothes. My that's 13 00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:11.280 not good. It got started to squeak. Oh oh you buy all metals, 14 00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:14.480 all metal, well to shovel and yeah, the wells are starting to 15 00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:18.480 go anyway, KLEI, what if should we be doing in the garden right 16 00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:21.079 now? Well, you want to keep the foliage on your tulips and your 17 00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:25.719 daffodils up until it starts to turn yellow. One with her away and must 18 00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:30.719 must mults. It didn't experiment at the house the multon area with three inches 19 00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:34.640 of mult How did it go? And in an area with normalts, the 20 00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:41.040 area with normal dry ground area with mulch moist. Oh, well, so 21 00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:42.879 it does a lot, really it does. It doesn't awful lot. It 22 00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:47.840 helps to suppress the weeds number one. Number two, It does help conserve 23 00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:49.359 water. It looks kind of nice too. It does. So you want 24 00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:53.120 to when you when you do your new plant things or annuals and things. 25 00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:57.000 This this water thing's gonna be oble with here end of the week. So 26 00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.519 hopefully that's what happened last time we did this one rings form and boom, 27 00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:06.159 what do we have? Like a six or seven inch wasn't much. Yeah, 28 00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:08.560 it's about what's expected to come here. I got you. However, 29 00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:14.560 the water, the rain should fall in the floodplain of the reservoir. Reservoir. 30 00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:17.680 Yes, I do lock the idea of reducing the water pressure though, 31 00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:23.439 because it worked for me at my house when we moved into the one hundred 32 00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:25.840 and ten pounds of pressure. Oh, that's way too much, so we 33 00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:30.680 put a regulator on there. They could dig the skin off down sixty psi 34 00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:35.919 and it uses halfty amount of water. But anyway, keeping back, getting 35 00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:39.879 back to the mulch, it also has the benefit of providing a constant moisture 36 00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:44.639 for the plants, more kind of a flywheel effect, if you will, 37 00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:46.280 so it doesn't get drying and wet and dry and wet and you know, 38 00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:54.680 more panic watering. It works so and it also helps maintain a more constant 39 00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:58.879 temperature in the soil too. Got a lot of plants really don't like hot 40 00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:05.000 feet and I don't either, but anyway, but it does help keep the 41 00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:07.560 relatively cool. And the more constant supply water, the better they're going to 42 00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:13.159 be. So time to also spray the fruit trees. Now that the bossoms 43 00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:17.000 have faded a spray program. You might consider using kneem oil or Spinner's ad 44 00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:23.719 to help control those pesky little critters that invade your fruit up choppers and turn 45 00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:27.919 your peaches in the Swiss cheese. You don't want that. Not good. 46 00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:31.879 So the bossoms have kind of faded now, and so it's time to think 47 00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:37.400 about a spray program. Also, look at the branching structure of your tree 48 00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:39.560 and broken branches and things. If you forgot to do that in the winter 49 00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:43.879 time, it's not too late. Okay, that just kind of invites diseases. 50 00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:45.639 We have a caller, Yeah, we do, all right, put 51 00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:49.400 them on. Good morning and welcome, Welcome, Welcome. It's your chance 52 00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:52.120 to talk to Larry here on the Green Country Gardener program. What do you 53 00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:55.280 have for us today? Yes, good morning. Hey, anticipating maybe a 54 00:03:55.319 --> 00:04:00.840 slight frost tonight, what kind of precautions should I take with my roses that 55 00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:03.759 are coming in? The roses should be okay, they can take a bit 56 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:08.719 more cold, say than your petunias or your colias or your annual plants. 57 00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:14.280 But I'm keep an eye on the weather forecast. And as far as covering 58 00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:19.399 things up, I would use I wouldn't use plastic, maybe a sheet and 59 00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:26.000 perhaps a t post or metal posts elevated above the plant. Cool, Thank 60 00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:28.759 you, sir. So keep keep an eye on the weather and see what's 61 00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:31.439 happening. And it takes a little bit of time to do all this stuff. 62 00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:34.439 But if you, if you, if you live kind of at a 63 00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:40.120 low elevation, say closer to the river or something where it's a little bit 64 00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:44.480 lower, you have a greater chance of something bad happening. Right, Thank 65 00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:46.600 you sir, have a great day, all right, thanks for calling. 66 00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:49.680 Already got down to thirty three tonight in some areas, so it's gotta be 67 00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:55.480 right there. Clothes some areas. Yeah, yeah, Kevin potterby snow skiing 68 00:04:55.519 --> 00:05:02.000 in his backyard, take pictures. I want to see that. You got 69 00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:08.480 spray and it'll freeze. He probably want the same. If I decided to 70 00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:15.399 do that. Tom's gonna do something physical. Hey, take pictures. We 71 00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:17.480 need to put you on the landscape crew. Yeah, I know this would 72 00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:21.000 be a good week. You know. I hope you got good boots because 73 00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:26.680 you're going to be covered in mud. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, when 74 00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:30.920 you do your annuals and all that annual flowers and printingm fliwers, you get 75 00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:33.079 him in and all that, you do want to do a good spading up 76 00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:35.600 of the soil, getting good and lous, just chopping up really good. 77 00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:40.839 And that's some compost to it. It helps water water percolated into the soil, 78 00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:44.160 and you know, the soil looks real nice and fluffy after you get 79 00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:46.120 it all prepared. Everything else, But what was it like before you did 80 00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:50.399 that. Yeah, it's like a rock, so it'll turn into a rock 81 00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:55.160 again. So you want to change that. Yeah, I want to all 82 00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:58.399 to your soil structure to make it easier for the rich system to exploit the 83 00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:02.199 area. Yeah yeah, pretty or healthier flowers that way and shoot trees and 84 00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:05.680 shrubs and stuff. That's just why when we do a landscape, we spend 85 00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:11.879 oh easily seventy five percent of the time just getting to get ready, working 86 00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:15.720 the dirt, yep, just getting getting the rocks out and the stumps and 87 00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:19.959 twigs and the clay and everything else. Preparing the soil real good, bringing 88 00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:24.079 your materials to keep the soil loose so the plants will grow and look nice. 89 00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:29.240 So that's that's the preparation is nine point seven five tenths of the law. 90 00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:34.199 There here we go. Okay. Another thing. People had problems with 91 00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:39.639 their Japanese maples this last winter. So I've had this tree for ten years 92 00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:43.560 and just went to put just like that, Yeah, for no reason. 93 00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:48.560 And actually the main reason was it was too dry associated with the cold we 94 00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:55.279 had this winter. So that's an environment which with which they are not geared 95 00:06:55.319 --> 00:07:00.399 to survive. You know, the words that they're not engineered to survive a 96 00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:03.680 droughty winner like that, so they can't handle it, so they sort of 97 00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:09.519 give up the ship. So anyway, if your jappie maple has not leafed 98 00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:13.120 out by now, it probably won't. But look closer to the ground, 99 00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:15.560 if you really want to keep that one, it will probably send out some 100 00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:21.319 shoots closer to the ground that they might even go subgraps on it to make 101 00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:26.600 a up a new tree perhaps. But but if it doesn't have any leaves 102 00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:30.079 on it at this point, it's probably gone all right, So yeah, 103 00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:35.399 really so, And then Nandine is golly, people complained about their Nandy. 104 00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:40.920 It's all dead. No, it isn't. They'll be back. You've had 105 00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:45.040 an obsession, Nadine, on the south side of the house and over by 106 00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:50.319 the groves, and I did, you're dead, you know? And then 107 00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:53.879 all of a sudden it started putting all the little leaves. And right now, 108 00:07:54.879 --> 00:08:00.639 because the obsession has newly emerging leaves or it's your dark royal purple color, 109 00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:05.000 it's just covered in leaves. At this point, it really came out 110 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:09.279 and flushed through good. And this is solid, solid purple plant, so 111 00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:13.600 it's gonna be cool. And the other the dwarf Endians are coming out too. 112 00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:18.639 They look kind of like the lost cause, but they came back and 113 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:22.480 I go to people's house and it's starting to come out. Just give it 114 00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:24.879 a little bit more time. We've not had it of heat for them to 115 00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:30.240 start growing. And even though they're they're they looked at it. They're they're 116 00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:35.240 pretty tough plants. Good couldn't come out. That's the first time I think 117 00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:43.679 in my entire career that we've had a problems with data. So anyway, 118 00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:48.240 at least they don't get bugs. So it's it's been It hasn't been really 119 00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:52.600 really warm enough for somebody's plants to really come out yet. So so give 120 00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:54.919 them a little bit more time. Look real closely at your an Indiana plant. 121 00:08:54.960 --> 00:09:01.039 You should see some little red leaves coming out, and they'll they'll recover 122 00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:05.240 and do Okay, okay, so okay. Cool boxwoods took a hit this 123 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:11.120 last winder boxwoods are really tough plants. And uh, we had a freeze 124 00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:16.919 a couple of million years ago. We bad freeze here and I remember seeing 125 00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:22.960 a roll of boxwoods next to a house and where the downspout came down and 126 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:28.240 dumped into the ground. The boxwoods were green after that really cold winter, 127 00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:33.840 and in between them they were brown. So it doesn't take a rocket sign 128 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:39.440 just figure that out. So really, when it gets cold or really gets 129 00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:43.559 really dry, water the water them real well, multi real heavily, and 130 00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:46.480 they'll do they do very well. Let's survive the cold winters quite well. 131 00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:50.240 Tookay, got it. So anyway, getting back to fruit trees, borders 132 00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:54.639 are a bit of a problem with our fruit trees. And I put down 133 00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:56.519 some amit of clow print of my food trees. Had a maple tree in 134 00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:00.440 the front yard also on the same vein, if you will, m hm, 135 00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:03.679 that had a terrible problem with boors. And I put the amidic cloport 136 00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:07.360 on it last year, and this year's flourishing. It seems to have healed 137 00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:09.960 up nicely. It's growing out again. I almost gave up on the thing 138 00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:15.200 because the dead branches here and there, and you know, even bought a 139 00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:20.879 little chainsaw to pull on to trim them out there. Boy, then there 140 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:24.840 was one big branch that's hang out over the street and oh no, I 141 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:28.720 cut it off. Had to. Yeah, anyway, it looks great. 142 00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:35.799 Yeah, so I think it saved putting the medicoprin on there. Good nice 143 00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:41.679 a maple lis a species they'd like to attack because of the sugar content and 144 00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:45.679 the fat coming up, and the boars really like that. Come by for 145 00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:50.159 a tasty treat. Don't now what are the symptoms of boars um? Exfoliating 146 00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:54.519 bark, typically on the southwest side of the tree is the first sign that 147 00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:58.720 you might have some boards on your plants, or a lack of vigor in 148 00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:03.000 the tree, or weeping out of just out of a hole in the trunk 149 00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:07.639 or something. If you do have some holes on the trunk and in a 150 00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:13.519 pattern, those are birds or woodpecker or sap platters. But if there's no 151 00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:16.240 pattern to them, they're just kind of a regular And you got dead bark 152 00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:20.440 underneath. Yeah, yeah, that's a sign of boarders right there. Get 153 00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.360 rid of them. So yeah, So we used to be able to use 154 00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:28.679 lindane for boars and can't You can't get lindanine. I think the veteran aias 155 00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:31.919 can get them, but we can't get them. Get it anymore, and 156 00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:33.840 it was a very effective control of boards, but can't get it anymore. 157 00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:39.799 Spin's ad is also a good topical application, but typically we say mid cloprit 158 00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:43.600 would be the best way to do it because it's a nicketinoid that's absorbed through 159 00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:48.600 the riot system into the vascular tissues of the tree. It draws it up 160 00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:56.720 and it kills the boars that way while they're eating. Yeah, you can't, 161 00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:01.159 you could say that. So that's kind of what's going on with trees 162 00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:05.360 and fruit trees. Getting back to the fruit trees, it's time to start 163 00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:11.799 a spray program to get you the little critters under control. And I'd like 164 00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:16.480 to use that spins add on that. It's the fact if you can take 165 00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:20.159 a bath and it don't hurt you, it's it works differently, so granting 166 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:26.639 so natural stuff. Baby, let's take a quick break. We're going to 167 00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:30.080 be right back after this two minute time out.

If you have a question or a comment for Larry fire Away, 198 00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:05.720 well we'll take him as to come in. What do we have an extra 199 00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:11.559 on the old agenda here? Larry? Anyway, hummingbird moth, Ye see 200 00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:13.840 a lot of them at the nursery, and so people are kind of horrified 201 00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:18.159 by these things. They don't fear humans, like like the hummingbirds. Dude, 202 00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:22.639 no, so they go, but it's harmless anyway. It's a species 203 00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:28.240 of hawk moth found and typically in the europe European Asian areas and all that, 204 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:33.000 but it's made its way over here. And I say it's a species 205 00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:37.879 looks kind of like hummingbirds and have this rather long proboscis that goes into tomb 206 00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:41.759 shaped flowers to lecture out. So we got a color it looks like we 207 00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:46.000 probably do here. Let's go ahead and take it and good morning. Turn 208 00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:50.919 your radio down please so we don't have feedback. And what is your question 209 00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:58.279 for Larry? My question is truly don't know. So the flowers that come 210 00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:04.279 up annually that you don't have to replant the correct penis. Those are perennials 211 00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:11.919 grainials. Okay. Also I'd like to plant some, but they don't get 212 00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:15.399 real big. I mean a thicket ten twelve inches tall they'd be fine, 213 00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:21.200 but not something to get three foot tall? What would be suggested for that? 214 00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:23.399 And plan? And how do I plan them? Well, the perennials 215 00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:30.039 can be planted most any time they're available because they are perennial. So yeah, 216 00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:36.320 there's not specific time to plant or Yeah, it's best to plant them 217 00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:38.080 in the spring so they can get established before the heat hits in the summer. 218 00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:44.600 And the selection is good too on those two. So anything from a 219 00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:48.200 choreoposus to work very well as a perennial. And some of the some gallardias 220 00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:52.360 and some other things aren't really too tall, and they're somewhat of an indigenous 221 00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:57.600 species, and you call that a what now, maybe a choreoposi is perhaps 222 00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:03.680 coreopsis huh, chreoposis that's one. Diances is another one to the dianthus or 223 00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:07.279 for the most part, are in full bloom right now. And there's some 224 00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:11.920 low gray ones of those two, and there's just a lot of proby prime 225 00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:15.880 time for planting, didn't have them. Oh, it's just we're just at 226 00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:18.680 the beginning of it at this point. Oh so now it would be a 227 00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:25.440 good time. You're beat, okay, and just plant the bulbs and we'll 228 00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:32.480 have typically. Yeah, the perennials of which I'm referring are actual plants, 229 00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:37.559 and they and they come back year after year. Okay, I'll always just 230 00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:40.720 plant the bulb Okay, I didn't know. Yeah, Well, yeah, 231 00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:45.240 there's the bulbs typically tulip bulbs and daffodils and stuff. Those are planted in 232 00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:52.720 the fall. But your your perennials per se anything from seedums to whatever to 233 00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:59.039 just thousands of different varieties. They're planted typically in the spring. Well, 234 00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:00.759 sir, I'm gonna try to make a note of this and tell me again 235 00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:04.079 what you called that thing so I know what to look for. Hey, 236 00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:11.599 I can't pronounce the words. One plant is coreopsis. How do you spill 237 00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:18.039 it? C c O R e O P O F quipped rock and steel 238 00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:25.119 R. What is c O R e O P S I S coreopsis? 239 00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:32.079 It's it's quite easy to grow, really, okay. And another one is 240 00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:42.559 diantas and d I d I A N T h U S diantas. Okay, 241 00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:48.119 those those are two, and there's there's lots of sums. I assume 242 00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:52.960 you probably have those out at the greenhouse. Yeah, we got benches full 243 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:56.119 of them. We got a great display a perennials to this point, you 244 00:18:56.200 --> 00:19:00.920 bet, okay, I'm swinging up, Bob, pick up. Well, 245 00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:03.799 what you do as you come and buy and and you express your height, 246 00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:08.440 your hyperence preferences, and then we can somebody can show you which which ones 247 00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:15.519 grow so tall? All right, thank you for calling, yes already, 248 00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:18.920 and yeah you can be next by calling one eight hundred seven four nine five 249 00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:23.839 nine three six and uh yeah yeah you go there you go cool. Uh. 250 00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:29.119 Anyway, the hummingbird moth is a common name for the plant or the 251 00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:33.960 insects. So we have an insect. It kind of looks a little like 252 00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:37.400 a hummingbird. That big. If you take your glasses off, it looks 253 00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:45.400 like a humming Okay, well, just they hover around and they're they're characteristic 254 00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:49.200 is similar to hummingbird as far as how they behave get around it all that. 255 00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:55.799 Yeah, it's a good example of what we call convergent evolution. Yeah, 256 00:19:56.160 --> 00:20:03.240 so anyway, it's it's harmless to people. The the the larval stage 257 00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:07.440 of this is amadeo hornworm, so which is a negative thing. People don't 258 00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:12.039 like tomato hornworms. It's a big, just big worm. It's about the 259 00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:18.839 size of huge chimp anyway, for for a caterpillar. They're fairly large and 260 00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:22.960 they have a little little spike on the end of them. That's it's a 261 00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:26.640 tomato hornworm that turns into a hummingbird moth. So they seem to be very 262 00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:32.480 prevalent this year for some hot reasons. So, but anyway, so they 263 00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:36.960 like nectar on the on in the daytime and you get h my feet at 264 00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:38.880 the end of the day or something. But one night blooming flowers maybe, 265 00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:44.759 but they do like. I have them on my patio going around, sampling, 266 00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:49.920 sampling, the sampling, the fair the sun, patience and whatnot they 267 00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:56.079 like. And then there's the hummingbirds also going around too, so so they're 268 00:20:56.160 --> 00:21:00.440 kind of cool anyway, So don't don't fear the hummingbirden moth, but keep 269 00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:07.880 in mind that they come from the tomato horn worms, so interesting kind of 270 00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:12.200 thing. Okay. Anyway, perennials is always time to plant new perennials and 271 00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:18.079 KLi. We have everything from houses to to hooker Us who you know, 272 00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:25.839 to coreopsis and Diansus and all that and setums and it's just hundreds of varieties 273 00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:30.640 of perennials, yarrows, and we try to carry things that are suitable for 274 00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:36.000 this climate too, so you don't waste your money. So and the chrysanthemums 275 00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:38.160 typically are available in the fall. It's because when they bloom. People don't 276 00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:42.240 think much of planting mums this time of year. Oh I need mums. 277 00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:47.759 Oh no, in the fall, so we got those. Okay, so 278 00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:52.480 great. H also a good time for annuals too. And this year, 279 00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:56.720 of course, the spring such as it is, you want to try to 280 00:21:56.759 --> 00:22:00.039 plant, to prepare your soil for for dry weather. Of course I say 281 00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:04.599 that in the month of May will probably rain every day, don't it always? 282 00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:11.680 Yeah, So anyway, so soul preparation is primarily important. We got 283 00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:14.200 to call him. Sure, Hi, good morning, and welcome to the 284 00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:19.880 Green Country Gardener Program. Hi, you're on the air. Yeah, hey, 285 00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:27.039 yeah, yeah. The tomato worms that gets on tomatoes. What's good 286 00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:33.200 to put on your tomatoes to keep them off eating your domato? Planet b 287 00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:41.319 BT Hello, yeah, yeah, can you hear me? Yeah, call 288 00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:47.440 from out of space, yeah, BT B fillos. Theiring genesis very effective. 289 00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:52.079 It's gone under the trade name of throw side or or BT. It's 290 00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:57.240 a bacterial control that works. It's very effective against insects in their larval stage. 291 00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:03.519 Wet we beeat that again? What you said to put it onto thematas 292 00:23:04.200 --> 00:23:14.400 BT. Yeah, it's known as BT or thorough side BT. Okay, 293 00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:18.279 okay, yeah b B B A isn't boyant, T isn't o okay, 294 00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:22.279 bt okay and u. It's it's generically it's a Basilus thering genesis, which 295 00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:26.240 is kind of a long name, but nonetheless it's what it is BT short 296 00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:30.559 for that it's gone out of the name of Thurside or dip hell, it's 297 00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:36.440 another one. So anyway, look look look at the label on the fine 298 00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:40.920 p on the label and look for the basilusthering genesis mettle, and that's that's 299 00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:44.359 very effective in controlling him. It's it's a disease if the insects get in 300 00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:48.799 a larval stage and it kills them from with him. All right. The 301 00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:52.319 tomato worms, it's weird how they can find your tomatous in a hurry. 302 00:23:55.920 --> 00:24:00.359 Do that where they come from? Because there's just a big cloud of invasion 303 00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:07.319 and they there's a tomato. Sorry, Charlie, you're you're gone. Last 304 00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:11.200 year I had h quite a few, you know, I'll pick them off 305 00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:15.400 them, of course, kill them. But they was there were little ones, 306 00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:18.119 big ones, and yeah, all side so did then they come from 307 00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:22.519 the moth, yes, sir, eggs eggs from them off? Yes, 308 00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:27.039 Well they sure can't find your tomatos. Well, there's just just so many 309 00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:33.000 of them, right, and the population is so widespread that you know, 310 00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:37.839 if you're planting a million eggs and you know three three hundred of them sprout, 311 00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:41.200 you did pretty good, right right, thank you very much, all 312 00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:45.000 right, thank thank And we're going to take a quick time out here and 313 00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:52.240 we'll be back after this two minutes time out for the largest selection of annuals, 314 00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:57.160 perennials, shrubs and trees, hand to green them nursery and greenhouses. 315 00:24:57.359 --> 00:25:00.400 And while we're there, check out their peers a knees and combat us, 316 00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:06.000 which they both have a wide variety in stock stop by you ask about their 317 00:25:06.079 --> 00:25:11.200 drop tolerant landscaping.

Text TV to five 334 00:26:40.319 --> 00:26:44.599 two eight eight six and let Congress know you depend on local journalist. On 335 00:26:45.160 --> 00:27:03.160 this message furnished by the National Association of Broadcasters in the German in the middle 336 00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:08.880 of the Paris Yeah, the Green Country Gardener program. And he's Larry, 337 00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:12.039 he knows things. I'm Tom, I understands to the phone and one eight 338 00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:18.359 hundred and seven four nine five nine three six. Now we were talking a 339 00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:22.640 little bit off off off microphone about carbon dioxide, which is very good for 340 00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:27.240 plants, it is, really And the typical atmospheric percentage of carbon dioxide is 341 00:27:27.559 --> 00:27:33.359 zero point zero three something percent, So it's not thirty eight percent of our 342 00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:37.559 No, it Isn't you go down to a point where lower than zero point 343 00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:41.079 two percent, plants have a hard time breathing. Breathing, Yeah, they 344 00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:47.880 can't photosynthesize without the carbon dioxide. And that's a that's where some of the 345 00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:51.160 oxygen comes from. Most of the oxygen they comes from the ocean. Really 346 00:27:51.319 --> 00:27:56.240 is. But anyway, so we have to I think we're along away from 347 00:27:56.279 --> 00:28:00.599 being really dangerous, and we have anomalous weather patterns. Do you remember the 348 00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:03.839 winter the summer of nineteen seventy eight, Yeah, I do. I think 349 00:28:03.880 --> 00:28:07.799 I was living in Texas. I was working here in nineteen seventy one hundred 350 00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:11.519 and over one hundred degrees for over one hundred days. Yeah, it's in 351 00:28:11.599 --> 00:28:14.960 Palestine, Texas that year. Yeah, I remember that it was hot. 352 00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:18.839 Now, that was hot. Yeah, And a couple of years ago never 353 00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:22.680 got to one hundred degrees. Yeah, and last year it got hot. 354 00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:29.000 Just just a typical patterns and coming there. We live in a in a 355 00:28:29.119 --> 00:28:33.279 big ball of mud hurling food space that one hundred and eighty miles for a 356 00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:40.200 second, scirling around the sun, going throughout a space like that, And 357 00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:45.319 if you think of that, you know we're very fragile. There are so 358 00:28:45.559 --> 00:28:48.640 many variables that can go on there, and they usually do occur. Yeah, 359 00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:56.799 there are some patterns, but be expecting alternative patterns. Yeah. Usual 360 00:28:56.960 --> 00:29:02.240 for us to have the weather the only thing constant has changed. True, 361 00:29:02.359 --> 00:29:06.279 that's why we have all Nino la Nina patterns affect us here in the United 362 00:29:06.359 --> 00:29:08.519 States. I'm not an advocate for, you know, bringing diesel fuel everywhere, 363 00:29:08.599 --> 00:29:12.160 but nonetheless, we need to make our machines efficient as possible. Yeah, 364 00:29:12.920 --> 00:29:19.240 but I still think we can co exist and still have our nicety jasoline 365 00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:23.599 powered engines provided that we had the technology to make the exhaust fairly clean. 366 00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:26.720 So anyway, back to back. I'm sorry about that, Larry, but 367 00:29:27.079 --> 00:29:30.640 hey, it was a good education because there's a lot of misinformation as we 368 00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:37.079 were told that going on out there, that some so called scientists were budget 369 00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:40.880 numbers. Yeah, you got it. You got another And I had an 370 00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:44.599 interesting talk with it in ecologists one time we were in the dinner together and 371 00:29:44.680 --> 00:29:47.559 she was talking about La da Da Da da and She says, what do 372 00:29:47.640 --> 00:29:49.799 you think about this climate thing? And I said, the only thing constant 373 00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:53.960 has changed, correct, And she was silent for the rest of the rest 374 00:29:55.240 --> 00:29:57.519 the rents of the dinner. But when you realize that we were a rock, 375 00:29:57.920 --> 00:30:02.359 we were molten, law, we were ice cold, We're an ice 376 00:30:02.440 --> 00:30:04.960 ball. We were all water, we little emerging land. We've been you 377 00:30:06.039 --> 00:30:10.759 know, partying the continents with the plate tectonics and things like that. Yeah, 378 00:30:10.799 --> 00:30:14.680 it's nothing but change exactly. So tell me another one. You know, 379 00:30:18.119 --> 00:30:21.480 I'm sorry we got off. Only one reason why I got into You 380 00:30:21.519 --> 00:30:23.400 know, how many trees I planted in my lifetime. I can't count that 381 00:30:23.559 --> 00:30:30.359 high, I know. Okay. Anyway, anyway, speaking of trees, 382 00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:33.559 if you have young trees, it's time to consider fertilizing them a little bit 383 00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:40.079 and using a fairly well balanced And also when you pick the tree species, 384 00:30:40.319 --> 00:30:42.680 yeah, you need to kind of know what's going on underground. Yeah, 385 00:30:42.799 --> 00:30:47.799 because that's where it happens. You get the show on top. And then 386 00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:53.720 there's such thing as soil pH yeah, soil density, soil types, you 387 00:30:53.799 --> 00:30:57.480 know, and you have to kind of consider those factors when picking a tree 388 00:30:57.480 --> 00:31:02.400 species. And also how big it can you tolerate in your yard, how 389 00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:08.039 many rakes can you go through to keep the yard clean? But anyway, 390 00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:12.279 and then you know, like like oak trees, for instance, the northern 391 00:31:12.359 --> 00:31:18.720 red oak, it's a pretty good tree. There's some conditions that cannot tolerate, 392 00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:23.079 such as extraordinarily higher sol pH. If you do want an oak tree 393 00:31:23.119 --> 00:31:26.519 in that situation, you might consider a swamp white oak. You hear the 394 00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:30.319 word swamp white though, and there's oh my god, you know my backyard 395 00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:33.400 is going to turn into a swamp. No. No, They're very tolerant 396 00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:36.720 of a wide variety of conditions. And the advantage of what like about the 397 00:31:36.759 --> 00:31:41.039 swamp white oak is it doesn't get oak rot, which is symptomatic of oaks 398 00:31:41.079 --> 00:31:47.240 that are living in an area where it's excessively wet. So if you do 399 00:31:47.359 --> 00:31:51.440 live in a lower area with heavy clay soil that's slightly low in pH, 400 00:31:51.680 --> 00:31:55.440 then you might consider a pin oak. Because I have a root system that's 401 00:31:55.519 --> 00:32:07.880 physiologically to live in heavy acidic soils. Going at my house huge you don't 402 00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:19.680 heavy soil washed down behind the shopping center part of it. I won't even 403 00:32:19.759 --> 00:32:22.480 let kids play on the yard right now. They get hurt some trees are 404 00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:27.039 tolerant of a wide varding maple trees for fully pretty adaptable trees. Your red 405 00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:31.960 maple in a in a heavy clay or rocky soil, the red maples will 406 00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:36.559 tend to have a very shallow root system, so be prepared for that when 407 00:32:36.599 --> 00:32:42.519 you install a red maple in a difficult area. So there are the Chinese 408 00:32:42.599 --> 00:32:47.119 fastache is a good tree for just absolutely terrible conditions. My front yard is 409 00:32:47.119 --> 00:32:54.519 a good example of that. Yeah, I have a broken pick in my 410 00:32:54.599 --> 00:33:00.440 shed. Oh yikes. So anyway, so they're the Patachi is a highly 411 00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:05.559 adaptable tree too. Yeah, it's no good for it's good fault color and 412 00:33:05.640 --> 00:33:07.519 disease resistance and drought tolerance and so on. It's a good tree to have. 413 00:33:08.119 --> 00:33:10.319 And it's a medium sized tree. They don't get so big, and 414 00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:15.039 if you happen to get a male tree, they don't drop stuff everywhere. 415 00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:21.599 Yeah, except about a week ago they dropped a lot of They had a 416 00:33:21.640 --> 00:33:24.359 little help, a little pollen thing coming off of them. But after that 417 00:33:24.440 --> 00:33:30.279 they're okay. So so anyway, So that's the trees and and everything else 418 00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:34.599 that they're typically geared towards their climate and their conditions. And all that. 419 00:33:35.200 --> 00:33:38.960 And if you know what part of town your address, I can just about 420 00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:42.839 pick out what kind of tree will grow there. You can. You've done 421 00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:45.759 this long enough, yeah, thirty some years. If you live on Martin 422 00:33:45.880 --> 00:33:52.240 Road, oh my gosh, forget it. Good luck, and don't don't 423 00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:58.480 discount the the the Chinese elms. I mentioned the word elm the people, 424 00:33:58.519 --> 00:34:00.759 and so, yeah, you live in a difficult area, but you might 425 00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:06.960 consider a Chinese elm and hell no Dutch em disease. But no, that's 426 00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:08.920 not true with the Chinese variety of the elm tree. The American elms one 427 00:34:09.079 --> 00:34:14.960 head and the deliberty elm is a variety of the American elm that is immune 428 00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:16.400 to that. And there's there are other parallels to that, depending on the 429 00:34:16.440 --> 00:34:22.800 availability. But there are some American elms that are resistant to Dutch elm. 430 00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:25.599 Let's go to the phones here. Good morning, welcome to the Green Country 431 00:34:25.639 --> 00:34:30.960 Gardener Program. Your question or comment for Larry, Yes, good morning, 432 00:34:30.079 --> 00:34:36.840 good morning, a great I left my elephant airs. I have three tubs 433 00:34:36.920 --> 00:34:40.760 of different types of elophant airs out last night. They look a little chilly 434 00:34:40.880 --> 00:34:45.760 this morning. I probably need to move them in tonight. That would probably 435 00:34:45.760 --> 00:34:49.320 be a good idea. I won't kill the plan altogether. That has enough 436 00:34:49.440 --> 00:34:52.360 masks to keep itself warm, but you're gonna lose your leaves if he gets 437 00:34:52.440 --> 00:34:58.119 if he gets too cold. Yeah, I have them in big tubs where 438 00:34:58.159 --> 00:35:00.239 I can roll them around if I get if I meet too But I didn't 439 00:35:00.280 --> 00:35:05.000 know I'll get so cold last night. So yeah, it got a little 440 00:35:05.079 --> 00:35:07.519 chilly last night, but it didn't get gold enough to hurt anything. So 441 00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:09.639 now tonight it's going to be a different story. Down to about thirty three, 442 00:35:09.760 --> 00:35:14.920 that's really close, so you're really cutting closer time. Can't you do 443 00:35:14.960 --> 00:35:17.360 anything about that? I tried to hit the knob for heat. It won't 444 00:35:17.400 --> 00:35:22.239 work right now, but anyway, Yeah, so yeah, if you do 445 00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:25.239 have tender plants like that, you do want to shield them somehow. Even 446 00:35:25.280 --> 00:35:29.679 if they're closer into the house under the eve of the house, it'll get 447 00:35:29.800 --> 00:35:34.360 enough probably enough radiation from the house, you know, not that kind of 448 00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:39.519 radiation, thermal radiation to keep it warmer to where it'll survive. But the 449 00:35:39.599 --> 00:35:44.320 best bet would be to put it in a garage. All right, Thank 450 00:35:44.360 --> 00:35:46.119 you guys, thanks for thank you very much. And on that note, 451 00:35:46.119 --> 00:35:49.440 we're gonna have to take a little bit of a break at Stade forty four. 452 00:35:49.480 --> 00:35:52.880 We'll be back after this two minute time out. Who do I call 453 00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:55.840 to get my trees trimmed? Kelly Banks Tree Service? Who can grind up 454 00:35:55.920 --> 00:36:00.920 these stumps in my yard? Kelly Banks Tree Service. It's a dead tree 455 00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:04.239 right by my house and I'm nervous it might fall. Well, you better 456 00:36:04.280 --> 00:36:07.000 call Kelly Banks Tree Service. What's that number? It's nine one eight three 457 00:36:07.119 --> 00:36:12.880 three five seven thousand.

Now visit screen 471 00:37:53.199 --> 00:38:16.639 your lungs dot org today. Cut down a tree cree gardener programming. Right 472 00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:20.599 now. Our phone lines are open at one A temperance up in four nine, 473 00:38:20.719 --> 00:38:22.119 five, nine, three six seas Larry, he'd be doing something. 474 00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:24.559 I'm Tom, I just answer the phone. What you got there, Larry? 475 00:38:25.039 --> 00:38:31.679 Anyway, wave petunias, yeah, the way petunia represents a kind of 476 00:38:31.719 --> 00:38:37.360 a broad spectrum. Now different there's wave of a new wave and so on, 477 00:38:37.559 --> 00:38:42.239 and of course the bubble gum is incorporated into that classification, if you 478 00:38:42.320 --> 00:38:45.119 will. We do have some bubble gums at the innerstry. People really like 479 00:38:45.519 --> 00:38:51.960 them because they can tolerate our varying temperatures and growing conditions. We do have 480 00:38:52.199 --> 00:38:54.679 varied temperace, yes and so on, and they can tolerate that pretty well. 481 00:38:54.679 --> 00:38:58.920 Anyways, they need a full sign at least six hours of sun every 482 00:38:59.000 --> 00:39:04.039 day for them to do well. And they need well drained, fertile soil. 483 00:39:05.639 --> 00:39:09.480 Yeah, so you need to move about thirty miles north. No, 484 00:39:09.800 --> 00:39:14.760 no, hello tyro. Yeah, we do need we do need well. 485 00:39:14.920 --> 00:39:17.679 You might want to consider getting some composts when you when you get your portina 486 00:39:17.719 --> 00:39:22.000 plants and work you get in in with the soil. You don't ever want 487 00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:24.440 to plant it in a hole of solid composts, which you do. Want 488 00:39:24.440 --> 00:39:30.239 to prepare the soil with a compost to the point where you can get your 489 00:39:30.280 --> 00:39:34.400 hand in a dig out a handful of soil. If you can't physically remove 490 00:39:34.639 --> 00:39:37.480 with your hands some soil, then it's not good enough for these plants. 491 00:39:38.920 --> 00:39:43.159 So and really you don't have to do this every year with the compost. 492 00:39:43.239 --> 00:39:47.960 You do once you said it once and before forget it. Yeah, then 493 00:39:49.000 --> 00:39:51.760 you can plant the again next year and also in that same soil that you 494 00:39:51.880 --> 00:39:54.440 did your great preparation for your petinas. When we have a freeze, then 495 00:39:54.559 --> 00:39:58.639 you can plant the pansies in there. They'll look good all in one all 496 00:39:58.679 --> 00:40:02.159 summer, one winter, yeah, spring, one of those yeah, something 497 00:40:02.199 --> 00:40:08.519 like that. Yeah, he said, yeah. Time anyway, you can 498 00:40:08.559 --> 00:40:12.719 put your pansies in the same place, and if you do want to have 499 00:40:12.920 --> 00:40:15.639 an annual turnover like that, you might consider putting some room in between them, 500 00:40:16.079 --> 00:40:20.480 okay, and let them expand into that area. Then you can clip 501 00:40:20.519 --> 00:40:23.000 them back a little bit and plant your pansies in there when they're available in 502 00:40:23.079 --> 00:40:29.519 September late October around there, and then they'll take over as he's die off 503 00:40:29.639 --> 00:40:34.840 in the cold. So anyway, so petunias, the bumping hum and the 504 00:40:34.920 --> 00:40:38.239 way petunias are just very very showy plants. But you do want to do 505 00:40:38.400 --> 00:40:43.239 some pep for them to you just you just simply can't plant them in our 506 00:40:43.519 --> 00:40:49.480 indigenous soil because they're not john some grets and they're not hackberries, so so 507 00:40:49.639 --> 00:40:51.960 they have to have a little bit of good slot. And also you might 508 00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:55.519 consider getting some fertilizer as you plant them to anything from Saint milorg and I 509 00:40:55.559 --> 00:41:00.440 work very well to just a good garden variety of slow h fertilizers at ten 510 00:41:01.039 --> 00:41:05.480 even it would work just to give them some nutrients as they can go on 511 00:41:05.880 --> 00:41:08.400 if you want to really big shoe, really big shoe, memory had Sullivan. 512 00:41:08.480 --> 00:41:13.639 Yeah, but anyway, you do want to keep the fertilizer up liquid 513 00:41:13.639 --> 00:41:17.639 fertilizers another way to do it. Also see the Peters fertilizer or miracle will 514 00:41:17.639 --> 00:41:22.880 grow or something on an occasion them also. Okay, so anyway, consider 515 00:41:22.960 --> 00:41:32.159 the wife bubble bubble gum patious. They'll do really well, give you some 516 00:41:32.239 --> 00:41:37.119 color off summer one, lots of sunshine, lots so anyway, perny of 517 00:41:37.159 --> 00:41:43.519 the week is pony. The pony plants are getting ready to bloom, and 518 00:41:43.679 --> 00:41:45.840 as can be expected, when they bloom, it rains. Yeah, ours 519 00:41:45.880 --> 00:41:50.920 are getting kind of fat, so yeah, well figger the figures. It's 520 00:41:50.960 --> 00:41:53.480 gonna rain one all week. Well yeah, yeah, they're getting they're just 521 00:41:53.599 --> 00:41:57.519 getting ready to bust open at home. We're getting ready to bust open. 522 00:41:58.000 --> 00:42:00.920 And what happens, Here comes the rain. So it always happens. Anyway, 523 00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:06.320 They bloom for a period of time in the spring. After that they're 524 00:42:06.960 --> 00:42:09.039 they don't. So you don't want to make them a mainstain in the landscape. 525 00:42:09.400 --> 00:42:12.920 Kind of put them not in the front of the perennial bed, but 526 00:42:13.039 --> 00:42:15.639 in the middle of the middle, or even towards the back of It's a 527 00:42:15.719 --> 00:42:20.559 tall variety, and my Japanese variety is getting ready to bloom too. It 528 00:42:20.760 --> 00:42:23.159 has a big yellow bloom one. Oh yeah, kind of heavy out there, 529 00:42:23.199 --> 00:42:27.960 are they? Yeah? Yeah, just in time. Yeah, storms 530 00:42:28.000 --> 00:42:31.519 coming here. Hi, good morning, Welcome to the Green Country Gardener Program. 531 00:42:31.639 --> 00:42:36.480 Your question or comment for Larry Hey, good morning, Yeah, good 532 00:42:36.519 --> 00:42:43.119 morning. Regarding perennials. One that I've tried finding several years ago, but 533 00:42:43.199 --> 00:42:47.119 it never did very well. I've never heard you talking about hollyhocks. We 534 00:42:47.199 --> 00:42:52.199 have some hollyhocks at the nursery. You do, Oh, yes, okay, 535 00:42:52.480 --> 00:42:54.679 well, I'll take a look at that next time I'm out through them. 536 00:42:54.920 --> 00:42:58.480 Yeah. They're very, very easy to grow, and they tend to 537 00:42:58.559 --> 00:43:02.599 come up and places all over the two and they will, yeah, the 538 00:43:02.719 --> 00:43:07.079 seeds come out. And I had that at my house a few years back. 539 00:43:07.119 --> 00:43:09.079 They would just come up in the middle of the yard and I would 540 00:43:09.159 --> 00:43:12.719 kind of move around them. And they're kind of pretty out in the yard 541 00:43:12.760 --> 00:43:15.199 too. But okay, Yeah, they're very easy to grow. An old 542 00:43:15.239 --> 00:43:22.440 fashioned favorite. And uh, what kind of soil are there? Because mine 543 00:43:22.079 --> 00:43:27.679 seemed to do well for about a two years and after that not much or 544 00:43:27.719 --> 00:43:30.760 anything. Well, yeah, hollyhocks typically are biennials, so they only last 545 00:43:30.760 --> 00:43:35.559 a couple of years. So you might want to go ahead and collect some 546 00:43:35.639 --> 00:43:39.159 of the seeds from the flowers and and plant them too, And they'll come 547 00:43:39.239 --> 00:43:44.159 up and do it for a couple of years, and then they they don't, 548 00:43:44.159 --> 00:43:50.039 they don't do it anymore. So they do tend to recede well with 549 00:43:50.360 --> 00:43:52.760 Mary Goals. We used to flint miracles all the time our front bar, 550 00:43:52.880 --> 00:43:59.400 but we've always collect the seed that would be our next year's bunch. Right, 551 00:43:59.639 --> 00:44:05.519 and thank much, all right, thanks for felling all right, thank 552 00:44:05.559 --> 00:44:07.519 you, and we're gonna take a break, right hell, we're going to 553 00:44:07.599 --> 00:44:14.559 be right back after this two minute time out. Shortly after Charles Lindbergh's transatlantic 554 00:44:14.639 --> 00:44:19.320 flight to Europe, the Dole Pineapple Company sponsored a race from San Francisco to 555 00:44:19.440 --> 00:44:23.480 Honolulu in nineteen twenty seven. Lindbergh refused to fly in it, noting he 556 00:44:23.599 --> 00:44:28.039 couldn't miss the continent of Europe, but he's sure as heck could miss Hawaii. 557 00:44:28.840 --> 00:44:31.880 Frank Phillips saw the race as a great opportunity to advertise his new Phillips 558 00:44:31.920 --> 00:44:37.519 Aviation fuel. Frank found his pilot, a Hollywood stunt pilot by the name 559 00:44:37.559 --> 00:44:40.719 of Arthur Goebels, and named his plane the Woolerock in honor of the ranch. 560 00:44:42.400 --> 00:44:45.800 Eight planes took off from San Francisco on August sixteenth, nineteen twenty seven, 561 00:44:46.239 --> 00:44:51.280 and only two planes finished the race. The flight took over twenty six 562 00:44:51.360 --> 00:44:55.519 hours and the winner was the Woolerock Charles Lindbergh described it as the greatest event 563 00:44:55.679 --> 00:45:00.760 in air history. For the next year, that plane barn stormed the country 564 00:45:00.800 --> 00:45:06.599 advertising Philip's fuel and finally returned to Woolerock. Mister Phillips instructed his staff to 565 00:45:06.639 --> 00:45:09.039 build a stone hanger for the airplane, which they did, and he stored 566 00:45:09.079 --> 00:45:13.920 the plane there. As he collected more and more art and artifacts, he 567 00:45:14.000 --> 00:45:16.480 stored a lot of it in that hangar until he finally had to enlarge it. 568 00:45:17.159 --> 00:45:21.679 Today, you know that airplane hangar is the first room of the museum 569 00:45:21.800 --> 00:45:24.719 as you walk out of the dome room. Next time you visit, remember 570 00:45:24.800 --> 00:45:30.440 what that room's initial purpose was back in nineteen twenty eight. That same airplane 571 00:45:30.519 --> 00:45:37.239 hangs proudly today in the museum at Woolerock, where magic still happens every day. 572 00:45:37.280 --> 00:45:44.199 Welcome home to Woolerock.

Welcome back to the Green Chuckery Gardener Program. 581 00:46:30.960 --> 00:46:35.119 I'm Tom David. He's Larry Glass. He's our expert and you can talk 582 00:46:35.159 --> 00:46:37.920 to him at one eight hundred seven four ninety six. Where do we leave 583 00:46:37.960 --> 00:46:40.320 off there? Larry, we were talking about puny plants. That's right, 584 00:46:40.519 --> 00:46:45.639 and I typically support is kind of required for punies to mate key just worked 585 00:46:45.679 --> 00:46:49.159 really well for those two. They help hold the flowers up and all that. 586 00:46:49.280 --> 00:46:53.079 And me I use a fuel line. Well, the kind of time 587 00:46:53.239 --> 00:46:59.519 together and it worked real well. So heavy an little vehicle, you do 588 00:46:59.639 --> 00:47:05.400 have stuff like that handy y anyway, but something that will hold them together 589 00:47:05.519 --> 00:47:08.639 like that, that doesn't bind it. The stretch tie. It's this green 590 00:47:08.719 --> 00:47:13.039 tape we sell that. I've seen that. Yeah, it works very well 591 00:47:13.079 --> 00:47:15.480 to hold them up too, So you might if your ponies the bulbs are 592 00:47:15.519 --> 00:47:19.159 getting off, the flowers are getting fairly large. It's it's right at that 593 00:47:19.239 --> 00:47:22.159 point you might consider heavy perhaps wrapping it so they don't tend to fall over. 594 00:47:22.880 --> 00:47:27.920 So anyway, they're extraordinarily hardy, easier to grow plants. The pH 595 00:47:28.079 --> 00:47:32.039 range from six point five to seven point five. The peach skill be exponential. 596 00:47:32.119 --> 00:47:37.119 That represents a rather wide condition. So, and they do very well 597 00:47:37.159 --> 00:47:43.320 in deep rich organic matter. But I have mine living in limestone and they're 598 00:47:43.360 --> 00:47:49.719 doing very well. You've got to tie it does a little red ones and 599 00:47:49.880 --> 00:47:52.880 I don't ever water or anything colly when they blooms there. They're a short 600 00:47:52.960 --> 00:47:57.440 one. They're probably about a foot wall. Yeah, and the flower is 601 00:47:57.480 --> 00:48:00.760 more open than the others and has a yellow center and it's its red and 602 00:48:00.840 --> 00:48:04.760 it's really quite nice. And I don't do anything to them and just kind 603 00:48:04.760 --> 00:48:07.000 of just pop out and be colorful and enjoy them. On the way home 604 00:48:07.079 --> 00:48:10.159 after work, yea, they are pretty okay going in the house. But 605 00:48:14.280 --> 00:48:17.800 I do take lots of pictures of them though. So anyway, so they're 606 00:48:17.960 --> 00:48:22.159 getting ready to come in, and they're really easy to grow, and they 607 00:48:22.239 --> 00:48:25.039 need to be divided. Actually they do about every three years or so. 608 00:48:25.199 --> 00:48:29.480 Okay, when we moved into our house, there was one big clump of 609 00:48:29.639 --> 00:48:35.719 white peonies and hid I had been divided in years. I took that thing. 610 00:48:35.880 --> 00:48:40.440 Now fell over the yard now, oh hell yea. Anyway, they're 611 00:48:40.480 --> 00:48:45.000 real pretty when they do them. Yeah, so peony plants. The only 612 00:48:45.039 --> 00:48:50.599 problem they get is a bacterial leaf spot and that's typically associated with warm, 613 00:48:51.000 --> 00:48:55.719 moist weather and the fungicide won't work because it's not a fungus, is a 614 00:48:55.760 --> 00:49:01.320 bacteria. So we think we still have some. But some horticulturals chripped the 615 00:49:01.400 --> 00:49:07.480 ice and there's a good control for them. But typically it's just a matter 616 00:49:07.559 --> 00:49:13.000 of presentation on the plant. Really doesn't even hurt them that much because they 617 00:49:13.079 --> 00:49:15.119 come back to the ice and fresh in the spring every year. So if 618 00:49:15.119 --> 00:49:19.760 you do get spot on them, well you can use get some spread to 619 00:49:19.840 --> 00:49:22.960 strut the ice and on it that will help control the bacterial lead spot. 620 00:49:22.199 --> 00:49:28.400 Got it? On that too. Pennies easy to grow. It required good 621 00:49:28.480 --> 00:49:36.800 sunshine, good drainage. There's a little susceptibility to really pully bugs sal bugs. 622 00:49:36.960 --> 00:49:38.199 I think you have a little bit of susceptibility to that too. So 623 00:49:38.320 --> 00:49:43.159 that's the only real problem I have. But enjoy them. It was easy 624 00:49:43.199 --> 00:49:46.519 to grow, all right. Okay, So pennies, daffodils, and tulips, 625 00:49:46.679 --> 00:49:50.440 I think I mentioned it earlier. You need to keep the leaves on 626 00:49:50.559 --> 00:49:53.000 them for a while, still come back again next year. They can be 627 00:49:53.119 --> 00:49:59.400 divided after the leaves drop off or will whither. They can be split up 628 00:49:59.440 --> 00:50:02.559 and broken up. At that point there dormant another plant. I see it 629 00:50:02.599 --> 00:50:06.559 actually seen a lot of the leaves come up this year. Is like corus 630 00:50:07.440 --> 00:50:12.760 otherwise known that its naked ladies. Well, yeah, they come up in 631 00:50:13.079 --> 00:50:16.199 the flowers, they pink flowers in the absence of the leaves in the summertime. 632 00:50:16.840 --> 00:50:22.119 And see some great shurge of growth in the in the leaves of these 633 00:50:22.199 --> 00:50:25.000 plants. So I think we're gonna have a really good year for lychorus come 634 00:50:25.119 --> 00:50:30.360 summer. Very good. So if you have a leaf plant with a leaf 635 00:50:30.400 --> 00:50:32.920 that looks a little bit like a say an amurryllists. The leaves come up, 636 00:50:34.000 --> 00:50:37.880 that's like Horus. And I've noticed they pronounced the presence of them this 637 00:50:38.039 --> 00:50:40.599 year, so it should be a good year, really good year for like 638 00:50:40.719 --> 00:50:45.599 corus coming up too. Okay, vegetables, time to plant those tomatoes. 639 00:50:46.639 --> 00:50:50.400 Make sure the soil is easy to work at this point. I don't like 640 00:50:50.519 --> 00:50:52.599 to multic the tomatoes. I do like to let the soil warm up. 641 00:50:52.960 --> 00:50:55.719 But anyway, come by the nursery. We've got tons of different varieties of 642 00:50:55.800 --> 00:51:00.880 tomatoes, from little cherries to the big ones, and someone of other vegetable 643 00:51:00.920 --> 00:51:02.840 plants. And a perennial is just about any kind of perennial you can possibly 644 00:51:02.880 --> 00:51:07.480 want. Great selection of shrubs, trees and whatnot. Right now our inventory 645 00:51:07.599 --> 00:51:10.960 is almost that peak. Thanks a little flower coming in this year because some 646 00:51:12.079 --> 00:51:15.199 of the growerth has some issues appearance problems with the materials. So they're starting 647 00:51:15.239 --> 00:51:19.079 to come in pretty good right now. Good. And we did manage to 648 00:51:19.280 --> 00:51:22.239 latch onto a bunch of dwarf ye upon hollies too, which kind of a 649 00:51:22.280 --> 00:51:28.280 favorite in the landscape. So anyway, Tom golly good good show this week, 650 00:51:28.880 --> 00:51:34.079 Golly keeper, shovel sharp, we will see you next week flower Land, 651 00:51:34.280 --> 00:51:37.400 where emotions are expressed in creativity, is delivered. Flowerland f
