WEBVTT 1 00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:06.360 Oh, yeah, here we go. That's a good Manjo pick and that's 2 00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:10.919 the Larry Glasses brother. I'm Tom Davis and I'm with the Larry Glass himself 3 00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:15.359 and it is time now for the Green Country Gardener Program. And our total 4 00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:19.719 free number is one eight hundred and seven four nine, five, nine three 5 00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:22.920 six. How's your week? Oh, Tom, has been actually a good 6 00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:27.640 week, not quite as hot, not quite as hot, and actually able 7 00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:31.440 to get some stuff done. We did one project that took a fraction of 8 00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:34.840 the amount of time if you were to do the thing your week ahead. 9 00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:38.280 Wow. But what a difference, you know, the temperature makes out there, 10 00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:42.079 especially when you're out in the hot sun and there's no wind and suns 11 00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:47.399 just are glaring and kind of baking like something getta killed? Yeah. Really. 12 00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:54.719 So somebody asked, we're going to go on vacation here in Oklahoma and 13 00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:57.039 they said, you know, well, how hot does it get? I 14 00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:03.320 said, are you familiar with cremation? No? I said, yeah, 15 00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:04.680 but we're going to have a cool week ahead of us. Yeah, thank 16 00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:07.519 goodness, And we need a break like that. Unfortunately, though, it's 17 00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:11.760 associated with a lot of rain, and that's not very conducive to doing a 18 00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:19.760 paving and brickwork and Jamie Walls stuff, all that good stuff, your landscaping 19 00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:23.239 maintenance. Anyway, in the garden right now in the garden, and it's 20 00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.680 green. Yeah, anyway, Yeah, it must be a bit of an 21 00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.239 off year for the tent caterpillars. I haven't seen him yet. I haven't 22 00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:33.640 seen him yet. No tent, what's the deal. Yeah, but maybe 23 00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:37.000 that's because the crepe myrtles are late, but they're starting to bloom. They 24 00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:40.120 are. The one in the backyard just started popping the other day. Yeah, 25 00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:42.680 so we're going to have a pretty good show of craig myrtles, I 26 00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:45.680 think this year. We do have a you know, some good weather coming 27 00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:48.239 up this week, so I'm kind of a little bit excited about that. 28 00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:55.000 Sure. But anyway, Mike be coming up a bit of a problem on 29 00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:57.760 your junipers and things like that, So you want to go ahead and and 30 00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:01.120 be a proactive on that, if you will, before he gets out of 31 00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:05.879 hand. We'll look very closely at your your juniper plants and your boxwoods too, 32 00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:09.639 and if sections of the needles or the leaves in part of one of 33 00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:15.960 those trees are characteristically lighter than normal, typically that's the sign of the onset 34 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:20.240 of spider maights. And usually we have a bit of a problem with spidermights 35 00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:22.960 here in the heat in the summertime because they just love that warm weather. 36 00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:27.840 They do no Yeah, and I've seen some of some plants through bagworms also, 37 00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:31.719 the little bagworms that hang down. Not so many this year, but 38 00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:38.120 they seem to be very concentrated in their attack patterns. So being selective, 39 00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:43.680 look very very carefully at your plant, very closely after plants, and if 40 00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:46.919 it looks just a little bit off, get a little closer. That's when 41 00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:50.080 they're small. That's when they do a lot of their damage. When they 42 00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:53.800 get big, they kind of they kind of hang out. Then they turn 43 00:02:53.840 --> 00:03:02.360 into them off and wait next year. So uh so watch the watch for 44 00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:07.719 your bagworms on your juniper species, your arborvities especially. I've seen some arborvities 45 00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:13.039 that have just riddled with them. And also if you get on a calm 46 00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:15.800 day or a calm hot day, you can get down wind a little bit, 47 00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:20.439 you can kind of smell the sour juniper smell, and that's that's a 48 00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:27.280 sign that you have can't work bag worms on your So anyway, I watch 49 00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:32.360 out for those. This time. You're also so on your lawn right now, 50 00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:38.120 fertilized your permuda grass only after watering, then water afterwards if it hasn't 51 00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:42.240 rained. We got some rain coming, so probably a good opportunity to do 52 00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:46.159 a summer application of fertilizer free permuda grass. I'll probably be doing that to 53 00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:51.960 mind tomorrow, just before it rains, because you do want to maintain a 54 00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:54.919 you don't want this peaks and valleys and fertility levels. You don't want to 55 00:03:54.919 --> 00:04:00.240 try to keep it as constantly as possible, and also on your grass from 56 00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:03.919 meto grass and other types of grass, especially PESQ, and so you want 57 00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:08.879 to kind of max out the height of the of your grass too. That 58 00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:13.039 does help the plant have a deeper root system so we can tolerate these peaks 59 00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:17.000 and valleys of wetness and dryness and so on. So moment as high as 60 00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:19.680 you can or as high you can tolerate. I know I've got mindset, 61 00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:24.240 Old Max. I think you need to put bigger wheels on my old snapper 62 00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:30.839 higher yet tricycle tire. That's about it's about three inches, so all right 63 00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:35.199 now, and I go to these people's yards and their lawns are just maybe 64 00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:39.959 a half inch and you know it's fine for you know, March, April 65 00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:44.040 and early May. But when it's hot like this, the grass needs that 66 00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:47.000 surface area for it to transpire. The transperration is the process by which the 67 00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:53.199 plant draws up water from the ground and it evaporates on the surfa to help 68 00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:57.360 keeps it cool. So if it doesn't have that ability to do that, 69 00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:00.319 and the sun is beating down on this plant, it overheats and it gets 70 00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:04.120 kind of sick and it's sort of thin looking and lethargic. If you will, 71 00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:10.240 so uh, mow that grass Bermuda grass and soldier grass, things like 72 00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:14.800 that, and especially if aescu grass, mow it rather high at this point. 73 00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:17.800 Now later on we can do and I've done this in the past. 74 00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:25.519 I'm not recommend it for everybody, but in late late July, mid August 75 00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:30.160 or so, scalp the yard when when the rains return, and it makes 76 00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:33.839 for a really nice looking long and going into the fall. Okay, so 77 00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:39.079 when the when the weather turns around and it's not so consistently hot, it 78 00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:43.600 can be done. It's not I've experimented with it and it's turned out successful 79 00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.120 in most cases too. Just to get rid of that thatch because when you 80 00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:48.240 mow it up high, you get a lot of dead grass under there, 81 00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:51.399 and it kind of looks you know, So if you were to cut it 82 00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:56.040 down when when the when the good weather returns, it'll a little snap back 83 00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:59.199 pretty quick and look nice again. This it'll be two weeks where you'll have 84 00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:04.839 to mow, so that might be a good thing actually. And then as 85 00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:12.399 far as fertilization is concerned, keep the fertilizer going and make sure that you 86 00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:17.839 irrigate prior to fertilization fertilizing. Then afterwards it doesn't rain just because you don't 87 00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:27.000 burn, your grass absorb a diffuse into the ground. So that's kind of 88 00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:30.240 it with your lawn right now. Things to look out for pest wise, 89 00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:36.360 not much of bermunographs except maybe some fundas if it rains a lot. But 90 00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:41.879 it's pretty resilient. I had somebody come into the nursery yesterday and so we 91 00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:45.439 have a picture of the phone of these little dead spots on their bermutographs. 92 00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:48.240 Asking what part of town they live in, it told me and I said, 93 00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:50.879 well, that's a lot of shallow rock. He said, yeah, 94 00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:56.879 you're right there, and it's just drought stress, it'll come back. So 95 00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:00.199 I said, if it's the house I'm moving in, if I were go 96 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:03.560 back, you know twenty years I had rented a big old back home and 97 00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:10.879 taken all that rock out fresh dirted, so I can go some roots. 98 00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:14.199 I mean that in the middle of my yard and sat on the shadow. 99 00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:18.959 Clang. It just goes nowhere that the blast. So that's something I've tolerated 100 00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:25.680 for the last you know, five hundred years. There's a little summer dead 101 00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:29.000 spot. It's just nothing new, but it comes back. Actually, the 102 00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:32.199 last rain we had has come back really well, so I think if we 103 00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:35.040 get some rain now, it'll kind of keep up with it. I don't 104 00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:40.439 have a sprinter system. I can't even plant trees in the front yard. 105 00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:50.160 Yeah exactly. So anyway, kind of it with your lot. You know, 106 00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:54.439 if you want to turn that print yard into a parking lot, all 107 00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:56.279 you have to do is just do a little scrape. And I mean the 108 00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:58.639 rocks already, well, you go up to the corner of the house and 109 00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:01.959 just grab the sod and you can actually unroll it. Oh that bad, 110 00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:05.279 Oh gosh, I know it was that bad in the backyard too. I'm 111 00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:11.800 putting my fence in and the jack jackhammer, and the fence posts over there 112 00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:15.639 by. The gate has five bags of concrete in it because I had the 113 00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:18.079 jackcamer a whole thing enough just to get the post in there. I'm gonna 114 00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:20.920 say, you know, the first time around, you take that big sledge 115 00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:24.360 that did come back at you twice as fast as no, no, I 116 00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:28.680 had to. I had the romous bootle jackhammer. And you know my daughter 117 00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:31.480 just got out of boot camp. Yeah, and she came and helped. 118 00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:35.120 She just loved it. Run it out, let me do it, let 119 00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:46.360 me pounds. Anyway, that was kind of fun. And the fence is 120 00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:50.519 still standing, by the way. That was a good twenty five years ago. 121 00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:56.480 Cool anyway. Uh So trees, Trees make them work in the landscape. 122 00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:00.679 Trees provide shade, of course, and some color, some architectural situation. 123 00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:05.320 In other words, say they frame the house, if you will, 124 00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:07.399 they kind of left and the right of the house or something, just to 125 00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:11.159 kind of frame it. And uh and provide a habitat for wildlife. I 126 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:13.600 got a lot of birds and stuff in my yard too, just love it. 127 00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:18.000 Oh yeah, you got those humming birds and everything. Oh yeah, 128 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:20.960 they're all over the place. You know, that's pretty cool. It's a 129 00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:24.120 nature right and there a mini tree? Is they grow here? As anyone 130 00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:30.240 could possibly consider when choosing a tree. Your primary consideration for funding a tree 131 00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:33.039 a is it a specimen tree, a flowering, pretty fall color shade? 132 00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:37.559 What do you want this tree to do? Also, you consider the one 133 00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:41.440 factor of the tree. Some of them are just done right messy. But 134 00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:46.000 yeah, yeah, you don't have one of those. Had a female InKo 135 00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:50.639 tree? Oh I got a litter box in your front. I thank goodness 136 00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:56.120 the wind was out of the south, my goodness. Anyway, yeah, 137 00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:58.919 that's a consideration. If you have, say a patio or a decoration, 138 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:05.080 I think you might consider, say a male rose of Sharon or even a 139 00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:07.440 male Gainkle tree. We do have some at the nursery. By the way. 140 00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:13.919 These are clones sending the clones, so you're for sure going to get 141 00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:16.679 the proper gender or that. And with the pistache trees too, they have 142 00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:20.240 what male clones and those all, so they're a little a little more expensive 143 00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:26.679 than just a who knows what pistache tree. But then again you don't get 144 00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:31.000 all the mess associated with the female tree. I happen to find one growing 145 00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:35.440 in my backyard, a crack in the cement, little tiny thing, and 146 00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:37.039 I pulled it up and planted it in the in the front yard. Now 147 00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:41.639 the trunk is pretty good, yeah, and it shades my old truck in 148 00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:48.519 the afternoon when they come home, and it happens to be a male tree. 149 00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:52.000 So it worked out pretty dark good for everybody did. Really, it's 150 00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:56.080 amazing how big this thing is, how fast it's grown. How big a 151 00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:58.759 boy is he? He's pretty good high. Yeah, it's as high as 152 00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:05.480 a house and about as big around. But it's when I planted that thing, 153 00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:09.440 I had to use a pick and a rock bar to get it in 154 00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:13.080 the ground. And that poor little thing just sat there and wimp eat and 155 00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:15.320 cried and all that. I said, you're on your own, buddy, 156 00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:18.919 and and it's rich. Just went out and it's it's done, just great. 157 00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:24.080 Wow. So I guess the point of that is you really don't want 158 00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:30.120 to try to baby it too much. You want them to adapt to the 159 00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:33.679 to the area. You want them to dig in and grow strong, build 160 00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:37.759 characters and find those resources they need to find all that stuff. And that 161 00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:41.639 that comes back to watering too. It doesn't hurt a plant to wealth a 162 00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:46.000 little bit. When when it's hot. It's just the way they respond to 163 00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:50.120 the heat. It's a way of preserving themselves. So and then they'll perk 164 00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:54.279 back up at night. So but but when you do water, water fairly, 165 00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:58.159 deeply and infrequently. It's kind of a rule I followed all along my 166 00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:01.879 house and this that try to emphasize some of my customers too. It's to 167 00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:07.080 not water something every single day. Don't that. No, it's just this 168 00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:09.919 is not the way it occurs. To love it to death. And typically 169 00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:13.879 when we put in plants and trees, we put some in that will adapt 170 00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:18.879 to that kind of circumstance as far as watering is concerned, so later on 171 00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:22.879 you don't have to worry about it.

What's next up? We talked a little bit about trees. 211 00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:30.879 I will talk about some shrub let's do that. I typically shrubs are associated 212 00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:33.559 closer to the house and they kind of screen stuff out now and then, 213 00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:39.720 and they accentuate the architecture. Put them in the corners and so make the 214 00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:45.279 entrance to the house like Bill inviting them all that. You must consider the 215 00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:48.080 architecture of the house and how the plane materials relate to the house when doing 216 00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:52.120 a design. So you just can't just throw out a bunch of rocks and 217 00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:54.879 put the plants with them. Pretty for the best. Yeah, you have 218 00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:58.080 to plan a little bit and keep in mind what the house is going to 219 00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:02.799 look like after. You know, after ten years of these landscapes, you 220 00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:04.679 got a color, Yeah, we did. Good morning. Welcome to the 221 00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:11.519 Green Country Gardener Program. Your comment or a question for Larry. Hello, 222 00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:15.679 OK, there we go. Welcome to the Green Country Gardener Program. Here 223 00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:21.840 you're on the air. Thank you. We have some uh the only plants 224 00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:27.440 out here in my front yard, and last year, I believe the freeze 225 00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:33.440 got the blooms. This year they come up again, volunteer, but they 226 00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:37.320 won't they're not blooming. You know, I don't think they're pros this year. 227 00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:41.559 Blooming plants. Typically they're they're very cold hearty. We had them when 228 00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:47.120 I lived in Chicago, right, So they're very cold hearty, and mine 229 00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:49.320 went crazy this year. They bloomed, some of them that haven't seen bloom 230 00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:52.600 blooms on them in years. They came up. They're just fine. Of 231 00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:59.120 course, they bloom very early in the spring, right right, but they 232 00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:02.759 didn't bloom again this year for some reason. It's odd. Yeah, it 233 00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:06.359 is, okay, Well, most people have very good success with them. 234 00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:11.799 So you're you're an exception to the rule. Possibility of on why it's doing 235 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:14.960 that. You might have a lot of grub worms in the area. If 236 00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:17.599 you do have a lot of grub worms are probably dining on the roots of 237 00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:22.880 your plants. That's one possibility. Another thing is after three or four years, 238 00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:26.279 they need to be dug up and divided. Maybe it's far. They're 239 00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:33.279 they're old. They're old plants. Yeah, but they come up part they 240 00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:37.960 come up really pretty, you know, real healthy looking and everything. And 241 00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:41.720 last few years there's not no blooms them. Are they real close together and 242 00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:45.480 kindly tightly associated? Uh huh, they're probably it's probably time for a division. 243 00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:49.920 Okay, well we'll give a shot. That's time to do that. 244 00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:56.400 After the first frost, I got you. Yeah, anytime, any time 245 00:17:56.480 --> 00:18:02.599 between then and middle of late February. We just okay at the first rup. 246 00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:07.119 Appreciate your guys, all right, I calling you, And if you 247 00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:11.119 want to be next online, you can do that at one eight hundred seven 248 00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:15.119 three sixs. Larry Peas are good, reliable perennials. Just don't go on 249 00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:17.880 vacation while they're blooming, because you miss it. You're gonna miss him. 250 00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:25.319 It's like God, not again. Ah we are. They're very easy to 251 00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:26.920 grow, reliable plants, but they do need a little bit of work now 252 00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:30.920 and then to keep them going. All right, let's see what we got 253 00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:33.680 going on. Good morning, you're on the air with a lurry glass and 254 00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:38.319 the Green Country Gardener program. What you got for us today? I've got 255 00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:42.839 black beetles on my tomato plants that are eating the leaves. Oh that's no 256 00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:48.279 good, So so how do I fix it? There are several solutions to 257 00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:52.839 that. You want to use something very safe to use on your on your 258 00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:59.759 tomato plants, you might consider a BT, which is Besilla thorgenesis or thorocide. 259 00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:04.599 It's an effective control. Also, uh spooners AD also known as Captain 260 00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:10.279 Jack's Deadbug. I liked it. I like anyway. That does a good 261 00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:15.599 job of controlling them. And the spinners AD is not toxic to us are 262 00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:18.640 mammals, So but you do. You don't want to wash your fruit though 263 00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:23.079 before you eat it. So but anyway, but amongst the insecticides out there, 264 00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:27.440 the spinners ADD would probably be the most effective and at least least toxic 265 00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:34.240 to use. Do you have dad at your store spiners AD? Yeah? 266 00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:37.680 We do, Yeah, we do, we do have spiners add. Yeah. 267 00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:41.920 Okay, right, thanks thanks for calling you, Thank you very much. 268 00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:48.279 It is twenty eight and again our number is one eight hundred seven six 269 00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:52.000 and that'll get you on with Larry. And this is the Green Country Gardner 270 00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:56.720 product. Spinas add is a spacialis spoor and it's a blend between the spinners 271 00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:02.920 and A and spiners and B D and uh. It's it's found that a 272 00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:10.720 shuldar factory in Puerto Rico or place like that. Yeah, and and actually 273 00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:15.240 I used it on my plums this year. They came out plum delivers bumper 274 00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:18.039 crop. Yeah, bumper cross. There you go. So in other words, 275 00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:22.920 they weren't all eating up with boom. And it's very safe to use 276 00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:26.400 too, because it works. There's something specific with insects is how it worked. 277 00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:30.200 So that's cool. Anyway, we were talking about shrubs and uh. 278 00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:34.599 Planting around the house also considered also the eventual size of these plants too, 279 00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:38.680 so you don't have to go back and oh we go to troll the step 280 00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:45.240 back. So a lot of times under the windows you want to use the 281 00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:48.480 plant that's prefaced by the word the name of which is prefaced by the word 282 00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:53.119 dwarf. Yes, because you don't want that shrub to get up about mid 283 00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:57.200 window heights. I see, I see that my neighborhood. I'm like, 284 00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:03.440 oh, there's something in the sooner part somewhere there's a house behind the hiding. 285 00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:08.559 So anyway, and probably back then when those were planets, they didn't 286 00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:12.680 have the selection of plants we do right now. So dwarfs yelp on holiday 287 00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:18.160 dwarf menandina. Uh. The crimson pygmy barbary is another one and they do 288 00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:23.559 very well, kind of around the crimson barber on those porns. But anyway, 289 00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:26.599 the shape to the barbary plants is to just cut them really low. 290 00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:30.680 In the spring. My neighbor did that across the street, had these barbary 291 00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:34.680 plants really really just kind of like you know, they're all irregularly grown and 292 00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:40.559 spaces in them, and he just cut them down and they're beautiful now. 293 00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:45.119 But they are solid red hemispheres on the ground and he does nothing to that. 294 00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:48.920 They don't have any bugs or anything. Your neighbors are cool like that, 295 00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:51.680 but anyway, they just do nothing to it. It comes up looking 296 00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:59.519 really good. How in the world, Well, usually those neighbors ard Sunday 297 00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:03.680 and I couldn't get any work done for everybody walking by asking me questions. 298 00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:12.559 Then I start the lawnmower up something else going way. What that's so funny? 299 00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:17.359 So why does it take you three hours in the front yard? Well, 300 00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:19.599 you know, dear of it anyway, there's a lot of friendly folks 301 00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:23.160 around here. So so there are are amount of plants that'll meet that the 302 00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:27.559 dwarfia and some of them, even though they say dwarf, it's a relative 303 00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:30.319 term. So you want to look at the eventual height of the plant. 304 00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:33.480 Also, for instance, the dwarf Jolpon holly. Yeah, it's kind of 305 00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:38.440 a workhorse in the landscape. They're just evergreen to come around and very easy 306 00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:44.119 to grow. Very few pests. But the dwarf jupon holly gets ten feet 307 00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:48.359 tall if you let it. That's a big dwarf, yes, But the 308 00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:53.799 yopon holly itself gets twenty five feet tall if you let it. So every 309 00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:59.519 year on my dwarf Yopon Holly's in middle of February, they get they get 310 00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:03.960 a Valentine's Day mass. They really get these good and you know they've stayed 311 00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:08.720 really low. They're forty years old and they're not even the high so and 312 00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:15.279 you only have to do it once a year. So there you go around 313 00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:17.960 Easter, it's a good time for that. You don't want to do early, 314 00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:21.400 too early at my urging the growth and you get frozen back. So 315 00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:26.960 you want to wait until March, middle of March, middle of March. 316 00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:30.640 Ok for them too, for cut them back really low. Okay, got 317 00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:36.119 it all right? Tell you what we need to take a quick breakin't thirty 318 00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:38.279 two.

Full details coming up 348 00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:07.519 a little bit later on our to a free number to get on with Lowry 349 00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:12.319 Glass on the Green Country Gardener program is one eight hundred seven three six. 350 00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:18.680 We were talking about shrubs and shrub that actually can be somewhat of a good 351 00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:22.559 indicator as to the amount of water around your house too. You can typically 352 00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:26.519 we have peaks and valleys in moisture content and the soil, and you associate 353 00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:33.160 that with a clay soil that can cause some issues with your foundation. So 354 00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:36.440 maybe that's why we started this tradition of growing plants up next to the house, 355 00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:41.079 just so we know when we need water to try to keep that try 356 00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:47.279 to keep that soil moisture content fairly constant, because there are some some houses 357 00:26:47.319 --> 00:26:49.119 that are just basically just planted on top of the clay, you know, 358 00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:55.799 And then I go to people's houses and you see the bricks and I'll say, 359 00:26:57.880 --> 00:27:02.759 well, your house is falling on the hill. And because when you 360 00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:07.039 get this shrinking and swelling of the soil, it also changes the volume of 361 00:27:07.039 --> 00:27:08.960 the soil down below the house. So if your footings don't go down below 362 00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:15.119 the frost liner down to the stone, which is pretty common, it rocks 363 00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:19.400 pretty common around but some parts of town where there's in his tone, if 364 00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:23.559 it doesn't go down to that far will cause some foundation problems. So keeping 365 00:27:23.599 --> 00:27:30.240 the moisture level fairly constant around the year is it's very important in some parts 366 00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:32.400 of town, especially if you have a lot of clay around the house. 367 00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:36.640 So, and that's one roll of the plant is. They're what we call 368 00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:38.480 indicators. They tell you, well, there's plants wilting, maybe they need 369 00:27:38.599 --> 00:27:45.839 water, and then you water that your soil moisture constant stays pretty constant, 370 00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:51.880 so be very aware of that if you do have some cracks in your house 371 00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:56.640 and they might close up in the spring and open up again in the summer. 372 00:27:57.519 --> 00:28:03.039 So sure it kind of help us with that too. Also consider on 373 00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:07.720 the composition of course, uh, lime, form, color and texture, 374 00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:11.039 all the other thing, architectural sentulation. The conical plants in the corner, 375 00:28:11.119 --> 00:28:15.720 don't plant a don't plant a say a foster holly of the corner of the 376 00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:19.039 house because they get you know, thirty five feet tall. Do you have 377 00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:22.640 it sizable? Yeah, if you want a corner of a plant like that 378 00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:25.200 in the house, you might consider it, say a will leaf holly or 379 00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:30.119 a needle point holidays only get six to eight feet tall. Yeah, that 380 00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:33.400 tall. There is a house down the street here from the radio station. 381 00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:38.559 I just they got order and look at it. Monsters things eating the house. 382 00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:45.160 And why people plant yelp on hollis which you get twenty to twenty feet 383 00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:51.960 three feet away from the house. I don't understand because they didn't talk to 384 00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:55.599 a problem. Yeah, you look at it accomplishing and sometimes you have to 385 00:28:55.640 --> 00:28:57.799 do something. You want something good size. You do and they're easy to 386 00:28:57.839 --> 00:29:00.960 control. To yepe on holly are very easy to control. You just cut 387 00:29:02.039 --> 00:29:06.519 them once a year and they do fine. But some of them are are 388 00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:08.960 not trimmed like we should be, and they get out of handy too big. 389 00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:15.119 If we did that unless year, there's nothing to live at the hat 390 00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:21.559 rack. This was in the string and she looked at that, looked at 391 00:29:21.559 --> 00:29:26.680 me and wrote the check and walked inside the house. Cheap. Oh, 392 00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:33.039 and then Pretto much later, it was fine. It's leaked out the house 393 00:29:33.079 --> 00:29:36.759 now and then and it's a small one again. And you know, so 394 00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:38.680 some some plants can be cut back like that. Then you'll find Hollis are 395 00:29:38.759 --> 00:29:44.000 very resilient as far as that is concerned. They can be cut back really 396 00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:45.599 really low. When they'll do just fine, they leap out real nicely. 397 00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:51.400 So I like them because of their disease resistance and the insect resistance. And 398 00:29:51.440 --> 00:29:56.880 soon they're good plants. They have good so also there you know, there's 399 00:29:56.039 --> 00:30:00.400 all kinds of nandinas. You're not. It's not your grandmother's Nandina's anymore. 400 00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:03.440 When I say on the design, I say it obsession Dandina, and people 401 00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:07.160 go, I don't want to Dandina. I said, I think you really 402 00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:14.920 like this one because the leaves on it say consistently dark purple pretty much throughout 403 00:30:14.920 --> 00:30:18.799 the summer. And you got consistency and no bugs, none, no, 404 00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:23.440 no. Insects don't like nandinas. They do not like them. Wonderful they 405 00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:26.640 have a fairly long life span. You'll probably get twenty five to thirty years 406 00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:32.519 out of an obsession. Andina didn't like everything else, get kind of old. 407 00:30:32.599 --> 00:30:34.920 Just throw them out to get you a new one, but give them 408 00:30:34.920 --> 00:30:38.480 a good home for a while. Anyway. It's kind of the same thing 409 00:30:38.559 --> 00:30:41.640 with the Dwarf Nandina. And I see a lot of people let them get 410 00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:47.559 too tall right around Valentine's Day. You need to get that big old thirty 411 00:30:47.559 --> 00:30:52.279 two cylinder. We'd like Kevin. That's clipper, like Kevin has. Yeah, 412 00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:56.480 and cut those Dwarf Dandina's back, big old diesel thing and you think, 413 00:30:56.519 --> 00:30:57.240 oh my god, I cut it back to me. Nothing left. 414 00:30:57.319 --> 00:31:00.319 Yeah, for a little whiles it will be. But they come back looking 415 00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:03.759 so nice. If they're really If the Dwarf Dandine is to cut back really 416 00:31:03.799 --> 00:31:08.880 low in the spring, So and I do that to mind about every second 417 00:31:08.920 --> 00:31:14.279 or third year, and and this this next year, they're really gonna get 418 00:31:14.319 --> 00:31:18.400 it. You're gonna get it good, go get it hurt right, They're 419 00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:22.079 gonna more than that. And they come up some ice and they're small and 420 00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:26.480 real bushy and tight. It's kind of like you like. But anyway, 421 00:31:26.519 --> 00:31:30.160 they can't be beat. As far as the fall and winter color, the 422 00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:34.559 Dwarf Landina has a very brilliant red like those buttons over there. Yeah, 423 00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:37.640 red color on them in the fall in winter, so really nice and no 424 00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:41.839 bugs and no diseases, and they're just easy to grow. A landscaper's dream 425 00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:45.319 because you don't have to do anything to them. So a dwarf sandinas. 426 00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:48.279 Another go went to using the landscape along with the yop on hollidays and so 427 00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:52.160 on, and kind of a new A new one in the realm is a 428 00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:56.480 blue star juniper. Okay, it's not new because I planted some of the 429 00:31:56.519 --> 00:32:02.799 house thirty years ago, still there, yeah, but anyway, this one 430 00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:07.880 gives you some blue color which contrasts actually in the wintertime with the red in 431 00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:14.039 a composition. And it's a very low care plant. It's a junifer squamata 432 00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:16.920 in a variety of blue stars. This squimata has a very durable plant. 433 00:32:17.119 --> 00:32:22.160 And this the blue star universe stays really small. It's about the size of 434 00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:25.720 a half a basketball. It just sits there and stays blue the whole time. 435 00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:31.839 Just doesn't think. So the more the more sunshiny gets, the better 436 00:32:31.880 --> 00:32:37.079 it is. I use it for little color accidents because you have to think, 437 00:32:37.319 --> 00:32:40.720 what has going to look like in January, what's it going to look 438 00:32:40.759 --> 00:32:45.960 like in July? All the things you have to factor into this landscape. 439 00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:50.279 And that's kind of why I pick out certain plant materials I could do just 440 00:32:50.319 --> 00:32:54.440 so it does have some stability. Now you put in other plants that do 441 00:32:54.519 --> 00:33:00.440 stuff, perennials and whatnot, to do stuff on a seasonal basis in with 442 00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:07.079 it. But it's gonna look fairly consistent from in July and same thing in 443 00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:09.799 January. But you're going to ask some changes of other things around in there 444 00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:15.200 too. So keep that in mind when you're when you're thinking about your landscape, 445 00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:19.200 what do I want it to look like in January? I see so 446 00:33:19.279 --> 00:33:24.079 many people who do their landscaping perennials, which is fine, they had their 447 00:33:24.119 --> 00:33:28.799 place. But in the winter time, what's there? Yeah, there's nothing? 448 00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:36.359 So why looks so blending of perennials and annuals and some hardy shrub a 449 00:33:36.519 --> 00:33:42.960 year round gives you kind of a year round interest. So a little flock. 450 00:33:43.079 --> 00:33:47.960 Yeah, brothers, I'm still hanging around. I guess just take a 451 00:33:49.000 --> 00:33:52.440 little break.

This message furnished by the National Association of Broadcasters. Have and 476 00:36:09.519 --> 00:36:15.079 welcome back to the Green Country Gardener program. It is eight forty five and 477 00:36:15.159 --> 00:36:16.400 if you want to be a part of the program, if you have a 478 00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:22.599 question or a comment, you can do that one eight hundred seven nine three 479 00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:25.559 six. We love talking to inquisitive folks. Lurie. Let's talk a little 480 00:36:25.559 --> 00:36:29.199 bit about the red maple. Let's do that. The red maple is a 481 00:36:29.239 --> 00:36:34.239 highly adaptable tree. You can grow just about anywhere you do want to planet 482 00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:37.679 in an area where have some fairly deep soil because shallow roots. Than that's 483 00:36:37.679 --> 00:36:40.920 a pretty good tree. I like to avoid planting this on a hill. 484 00:36:42.239 --> 00:36:50.880 Why when the soil it roads for not having the flight, you got gotta 485 00:36:50.880 --> 00:36:52.840 go to the boom and that looks like a hand on the top of the 486 00:36:52.840 --> 00:36:59.400 ground. You want to be sort of careful on a on a hillside situation. 487 00:36:59.440 --> 00:37:02.920 You might consaid chime to use this dash or something like that. Yeah, 488 00:37:04.039 --> 00:37:07.880 but anyway, the red maple is known for it's fall color. Really 489 00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:10.000 wants the fall color. And there's some new varieties out there the red maple 490 00:37:10.599 --> 00:37:15.960 that the feminize variety, which is across between the red and silver. Yeah, 491 00:37:15.960 --> 00:37:19.039 it's a little bit of silver maple in it, but it does have 492 00:37:19.159 --> 00:37:22.559 the strength of the red maple. And the color on the on the maples 493 00:37:22.679 --> 00:37:28.400 is can't be beep. So you might consider that for an area put a 494 00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:30.719 maple tree somewhere where you might want some shit, you missed it went over 495 00:37:30.760 --> 00:37:37.679 that way. We have a flying beast in here that we're trying to catch. 496 00:37:39.400 --> 00:37:45.320 But the red maple is very easy to grow. I mean, you 497 00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:46.320 don't have to do too much to it, because I know because I got 498 00:37:46.320 --> 00:37:49.639 two of them in my house. And they just sort of grow on their 499 00:37:49.679 --> 00:37:52.639 own. The ones at the north of it, they'll got attacked by boards 500 00:37:52.760 --> 00:37:55.880 is terrible and I usually emidic opri on it got rid of the boards. 501 00:37:55.920 --> 00:38:00.199 Now it's just really flushing and doing very well. So typically they have a 502 00:38:00.239 --> 00:38:04.960 lifespan of thirty years or so in the landscape. Then they kind of get 503 00:38:05.119 --> 00:38:07.440 overgrown and fall apart a little bit. I know one on the south side 504 00:38:07.519 --> 00:38:10.360 is starting to starting to kind of do that, you know, let's geting 505 00:38:10.360 --> 00:38:14.679 a little old, kind of like what I do when I hit thirty. 506 00:38:16.360 --> 00:38:22.119 So but anyways, these days are like I said, the highly adaptable plants. 507 00:38:23.000 --> 00:38:27.239 They're indigenous to lowland areas. Typically, in other words, you find 508 00:38:27.239 --> 00:38:32.199 them in the ecosystem of things in lowland areas where typically the soil is a 509 00:38:32.239 --> 00:38:37.360 little bit anaerobic, and their response to that anaerobic soil is to have a 510 00:38:37.360 --> 00:38:40.840 fairly shallow root system. So that's kind of drawback to the red maple. 511 00:38:40.880 --> 00:38:45.000 But if you have it in an area and you keep it trimmed up so 512 00:38:45.719 --> 00:38:49.480 the light can get to the grass down below it, you should have some 513 00:38:49.480 --> 00:38:52.039 pretty good luck with it not having some shallow roots. I have two of 514 00:38:52.079 --> 00:38:55.119 them in my house, and I don't have any shallow roots on the ground 515 00:38:55.119 --> 00:39:05.239 at all because I'll keep it trimmed up. Plenty of light, right, 516 00:39:06.280 --> 00:39:08.960 and the soil doesn't eroad when you have plenty of light, because the grass 517 00:39:09.000 --> 00:39:12.679 is real. I actually had bermina grass going in shade at my house. 518 00:39:13.039 --> 00:39:16.559 How do you do that? They just know it real tall. Okay, 519 00:39:16.719 --> 00:39:21.360 it's not very thick. It's real kind of whispy. It's there. But 520 00:39:21.440 --> 00:39:23.480 from the street it looks okay, but you get on top of it, 521 00:39:25.079 --> 00:39:34.840 yeah, well you know. Anyway, So it's growing underneath the red maple, 522 00:39:35.280 --> 00:39:37.199 and it got to the point where the grass was just so somewhat non 523 00:39:37.199 --> 00:39:42.079 existent under the maple trees. So I made kind of beds underneath it, 524 00:39:42.840 --> 00:39:45.519 these big rocks, put them on there, some of the rocks around it 525 00:39:46.079 --> 00:39:52.920 the landscape composition, and I put some plants underneath it that will compete suespecially 526 00:39:52.000 --> 00:39:55.960 with the red maple. So it looks kind of nice, so cool, 527 00:39:57.599 --> 00:40:00.280 so red red maple. If you don't want to have the you have, 528 00:40:00.360 --> 00:40:02.440 of course a little seed to spin around, and you do get a little 529 00:40:02.440 --> 00:40:07.000 red maples all over the yard in the spring. But that's I consider that 530 00:40:07.000 --> 00:40:10.679 a kind of a small price to pay for a tree that's durable and looks 531 00:40:10.800 --> 00:40:15.840 nice even in the heat of the summer. So consider that for a shade 532 00:40:15.880 --> 00:40:21.360 tree, keep it, say thirty feet twenty thirty feet away from the house, 533 00:40:21.840 --> 00:40:24.400 because you do get pretty big. I've seen a lot of people who 534 00:40:24.440 --> 00:40:28.880 plant them too close to the house and it's just not a good thing. 535 00:40:29.679 --> 00:40:32.159 So they should do pretty well. But if you keep them thirty feet away, 536 00:40:32.239 --> 00:40:36.719 twenty thirty feet away from the house, And I keep in mind your 537 00:40:37.719 --> 00:40:39.880 water line coming into the house and the sewer line going out of the house. 538 00:40:39.960 --> 00:40:43.639 Know where those are before you plant it, too, because the rich 539 00:40:43.679 --> 00:40:46.320 system can cause some damage. And you can also wrap yourself around the water 540 00:40:46.400 --> 00:40:52.119 pipe and snap it if it's PBC. Yeah, really good. The plumbers 541 00:40:52.119 --> 00:40:57.159 are expensive, yeah, almost as expensive as a hard doctor, really, 542 00:40:58.119 --> 00:41:00.280 so you want to kind of plant it head on that if you do have 543 00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:06.079 If you do want a planet trade that's in that vicinity, you might consider 544 00:41:06.119 --> 00:41:10.159 something like a pistache. I would steer clear of oaks around that area too, 545 00:41:10.199 --> 00:41:14.480 because they can cause real problems with plumbing. Oh yeah, in the 546 00:41:14.559 --> 00:41:19.880 sprinker system too, So so plan to plan ahead on locating a tree and 547 00:41:19.880 --> 00:41:23.039 pick out the right species for the situations. Should do just fine to be 548 00:41:23.599 --> 00:41:30.360 trouble free. Okay, Uh, plan your landscape out always a good time 549 00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:31.639 to do that, and it's something we do. Have a meeting with a 550 00:41:31.639 --> 00:41:37.639 customer here in thirty minutes about his landscape too, so we've been to discuss 551 00:41:37.719 --> 00:41:43.400 it. And there's five different cost centers on this landscape. So broke it 552 00:41:43.440 --> 00:41:45.639 down so you can look at it and decide what he might want to do. 553 00:41:46.320 --> 00:41:50.519 So we do. We do landscape planning. It's a good idea to 554 00:41:50.559 --> 00:41:52.559 have some kind of plan so you know what's coming on. And there's a 555 00:41:52.599 --> 00:41:55.320 lot of professional do it. I mean, I mean, folks, you 556 00:41:55.360 --> 00:42:00.360 can read all you want, but you've been doing this more than a minute, 557 00:42:00.400 --> 00:42:05.360 Larry, Yeah, that's nineteen seventy nine. Here you go. So 558 00:42:05.519 --> 00:42:07.239 you've got a little bit of experience behind it, just a little bit, 559 00:42:07.360 --> 00:42:10.000 you know, a little bit there too. Yeah, and of course you 560 00:42:10.119 --> 00:42:16.320 got a neat can't system that you can show people what it's going to look 561 00:42:16.320 --> 00:42:19.760 like. Yeah. You get an overhead a plan view as well as the 562 00:42:19.920 --> 00:42:24.559 perspective you too, so it helps to visualize. Some people have they can't 563 00:42:24.639 --> 00:42:29.599 visualize something with a just a plan view. What this does is let you 564 00:42:29.679 --> 00:42:32.320 see what it will actually look like. So I've got some designs on the 565 00:42:32.360 --> 00:42:37.840 drawing board. I'm a little slow getting done because I'm out putting the stuff 566 00:42:37.840 --> 00:42:40.679 in the ground. He's trying to and they out working out working for twenty 567 00:42:40.679 --> 00:42:49.599 five year old. Yeah, oh yard than that. So anyway, so 568 00:42:49.719 --> 00:42:52.119 yeah, a landscape a plan is something we offer to but I'm needing a 569 00:42:52.159 --> 00:42:55.840 little bit of time just to get it done. So the okay, cool, 570 00:42:57.599 --> 00:43:00.079 Let's talk a little about the hearty have biscuits? Do that? Do 571 00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:05.760 we have time? Let's take this one break and we will be back in 572 00:43:05.880 --> 00:43:10.039 a two minutes thirty seconds. Back in the early nineteen thirties, Frank and 573 00:43:10.119 --> 00:43:15.440 Jane Phillips hosted a wonderful party at their lodge home at Willarock. For this 574 00:43:15.519 --> 00:43:21.119 special party, Frank hired the world famous magician Harry Blackstone to provide the entertainment 575 00:43:21.159 --> 00:43:24.559 for the large crowd. Throughout the evening, Blackstone amazed the guests with his 576 00:43:24.639 --> 00:43:29.679 card tricks and sleight of hand, with the crowd applauding and laughing as the 577 00:43:29.719 --> 00:43:34.719 tricks got better and better. Finally, Blackstone asked Jane Phillips to step forward. 578 00:43:35.360 --> 00:43:38.960 He reached into his coat and removed a new deck of cards and dramatically 579 00:43:39.079 --> 00:43:44.599 unwrapped them, removed the cards from the deck and shuffle them several times. 580 00:43:45.119 --> 00:43:47.800 He then asked Missus Phillips to cut the cards, which she did, pulling 581 00:43:47.800 --> 00:43:52.159 the Queen of s page, which she showed to the crowd. She put 582 00:43:52.199 --> 00:43:55.760 the card back into the deck and Blackstone carefully shuffled the cards two or three 583 00:43:55.800 --> 00:44:00.679 times, then suddenly spun around and threw the entire deck of cards into the 584 00:44:00.719 --> 00:44:05.400 wall of the lodge, just to the left of the front door. Fifty 585 00:44:05.480 --> 00:44:08.239 one cards fell to the floor and the Queen of Spades stuck on the wall, 586 00:44:08.719 --> 00:44:15.719 where it still remains today, a perfect example of the magic of Willarock. 587 00:44:15.559 --> 00:44:22.800 Come see it for yourself and welcome home to Wallarock.

It is eight fifty four to seventy one degrees and you can call 600 00:45:27.199 --> 00:45:31.119 us one eight hundred seven three six with questions. Comment. Didn't mean to 601 00:45:31.119 --> 00:45:35.159 catch you off mid sentence there, Larry. That's where where we are. 602 00:45:35.239 --> 00:45:37.840 Heart Hibiscus, they're blooming right now. I have some in the backyard that 603 00:45:37.880 --> 00:45:42.239 are blooming, and unlike any of the flowers, say that's in the garden 604 00:45:42.280 --> 00:45:45.840 if you will. The heart of hibiscus offers us flowers that are both rather 605 00:45:46.000 --> 00:45:52.440 large and also rather delicate, just as if they were made from crape paper 606 00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:59.920 the great big flowers. The flowers arrange in size from three to four and 607 00:46:00.239 --> 00:46:04.840 is to up to eight to twelve inches in diameter, and it's highly reliant 608 00:46:04.880 --> 00:46:10.360 on the amount of resources available. So the center of each flower is you'll 609 00:46:10.360 --> 00:46:15.880 find a bit of a dark trickle like this right here here you go, 610 00:46:15.079 --> 00:46:21.480 and it's reminiscent of a say, of a rose of Sharon, which is 611 00:46:21.719 --> 00:46:28.840 actually related rosa Sharon is a Hibiscus syriacus. These are Hibiscus mochetto's here, 612 00:46:29.079 --> 00:46:31.320 yes, so they're kind of related to that. And we all know the 613 00:46:31.400 --> 00:46:37.440 durability and strength of the rows of Sharon being a very sturdy plant, a 614 00:46:37.559 --> 00:46:42.159 very reliable one actually in blooming and quite show you in the landscape too, 615 00:46:42.719 --> 00:46:46.239 so if this one also offers that, but it has a red of large 616 00:46:46.280 --> 00:46:51.440 flower on it and lots of different colors available. This one also kind of 617 00:46:51.440 --> 00:46:53.800 fools people in the spring because it takes it a while to come up out 618 00:46:53.800 --> 00:46:58.800 of the ground. It's not the first one to show up in the landscape. 619 00:46:59.000 --> 00:47:04.400 It typically it doesn't really start to grow until it gets the soil gets 620 00:47:04.400 --> 00:47:07.119 really warm, and a lot of people take them for a loss and they 621 00:47:07.159 --> 00:47:12.719 dig them up and oh no, oh no no. So if you do 622 00:47:12.800 --> 00:47:15.960 have a hard have biscuits, hopefully it's in an area that's fairly well drained 623 00:47:15.440 --> 00:47:21.079 and in the open sun, and it should do really, really quite well. 624 00:47:21.599 --> 00:47:28.320 This is a native American species, the heart of hibiscuits, and it 625 00:47:28.599 --> 00:47:34.920 typically grows in the swampy areas but obviously very hearty or very highly adaptable. 626 00:47:35.239 --> 00:47:38.800 That's the name hardy, hardy hibiscuits. And it comes up every year. 627 00:47:39.880 --> 00:47:45.440 Uh so it is very easy to grow. It has a few pats on 628 00:47:45.480 --> 00:47:49.079 it too now and then you'll get some little caterpillars knowing on it, but 629 00:47:49.199 --> 00:47:53.719 don't seem to bother that much. And if it's really really hot and humid 630 00:47:53.760 --> 00:47:58.400 and rainy when they set their ballooms, chances are they won't bloom as heavily 631 00:47:58.440 --> 00:48:01.480 as they would if it were a little drier. So they're in bloom right 632 00:48:01.480 --> 00:48:06.000 now, thank goodness. And we've got some rain coming for the next few 633 00:48:06.039 --> 00:48:12.719 days. So these uh they got to chance chants some in the backyard. 634 00:48:12.760 --> 00:48:17.239 Did are. They're about five feet tall in the and they have red red 635 00:48:17.239 --> 00:48:21.599 blooms on them. Actually dug them up out of a customer's yard you want 636 00:48:21.639 --> 00:48:23.400 to have invited said, take some of them with you. Okay, cool, 637 00:48:24.079 --> 00:48:29.719 it's throw in the ground. See you're on your own, buddy. 638 00:48:29.880 --> 00:48:34.639 And right now they're they're in full bloom, and they're towards the back of 639 00:48:34.639 --> 00:48:38.440 the landscape composition because they get rather tall, so and they're putting on a 640 00:48:38.480 --> 00:48:42.679 lot of red flowers right now. So they're really kind of attractive plants too. 641 00:48:43.320 --> 00:48:45.960 They don't bloom all summer long. They don't bloom as long, says 642 00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:47.760 The Roads of Sharing. But when they do bloom, it's on quite a 643 00:48:47.800 --> 00:48:51.840 good show, very good. So hard to have. Biscus might be the 644 00:48:51.880 --> 00:48:54.400 one you want to consider in the landscape, in the back of the landscape 645 00:48:54.440 --> 00:48:59.000 somewhere. It's going to be a year or two before it really really puts 646 00:48:59.039 --> 00:49:01.400 on a big shell. But if you plant it in good soil, not 647 00:49:01.480 --> 00:49:06.519 in clay, but in good soil, it should do quite well. So 648 00:49:06.599 --> 00:49:09.400 add a lot of accomplish to the soil and do it a preparation about as 649 00:49:09.480 --> 00:49:14.599 wild as you can reach around say three feet wide or so, depending on 650 00:49:14.599 --> 00:49:20.280 your reat. But you want to do a pretty good size ground prep for 651 00:49:20.320 --> 00:49:23.480 that so its roots can exploit the area and you have bigger, better ballooms 652 00:49:24.159 --> 00:49:29.480 if you have a bigger, better prep on your soil. All about the 653 00:49:29.519 --> 00:49:31.800 prep. You gotta work a very few pests on this also maybe a little 654 00:49:31.800 --> 00:49:37.760 caterpillar now and then, but very few pests on too. Vegetables still time 655 00:49:37.800 --> 00:49:44.880 to plant beans, cowpees, almost time for turnips and multiose tomatoes really well, 656 00:49:45.079 --> 00:49:47.159 water only when needed. Try to keep the water level constant on your 657 00:49:47.239 --> 00:49:52.639 tomatoes just then, don't crack and should do just fine. A customer brought 658 00:49:52.679 --> 00:49:58.159 in tomato with a rotted bottom on it, and it's a blossoming rot and 659 00:49:58.440 --> 00:50:04.800 typically that's indicate eating a chascium deficiency in the soil. So we have some 660 00:50:04.840 --> 00:50:07.840 liquid calcium she's going to put on the plant. And also I told her 661 00:50:07.880 --> 00:50:13.639 to get in February. I use some gypsum and some magnesium sulfate or epsom 662 00:50:13.679 --> 00:50:15.960 salts in your soil. Blend that into the soil. You shouldn't have much 663 00:50:15.960 --> 00:50:20.920 of a problem with blossom inrot. Then tomato is like a slightly lower pH 664 00:50:21.000 --> 00:50:23.559 two, so the epsom salts will help that also. Anyway, come buy 665 00:50:23.559 --> 00:50:27.159 the nursery and check us out. We've got all kinds of things on the 666 00:50:27.159 --> 00:50:32.159 sale. Right now, got tons of composts, tons of dirt, got 667 00:50:32.159 --> 00:50:37.039 some dirt a good still, a great selection of shrubs and hollies and whatnot 668 00:50:37.760 --> 00:50:42.119 over at the nursery, and some cool things to have around the house too. 669 00:50:42.840 --> 00:50:46.639 So anyway, we're on No Water Road, halfway between Madison and Washington, 670 00:50:46.800 --> 00:50:51.400 on the south side of the road, and tom ally has been quite 671 00:50:51.440 --> 00:50:54.280 a show. Keep your shovel sharp. We will see you next week.
