WEBVTT 1 00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:17.879 And good morning, good morning, good morning, and welcome, welcome, 2 00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:21.399 welcome to the Green Country Gardener Program and once again our number one eight hundreds 3 00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:23.960 up in four nine, five nine three six. I'm Tom. I just 4 00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:28.920 answer the phones around here. The real brains of the operation is standing right 5 00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:32.000 next to me, Larry Glass. Larry, how are we doing today? 6 00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:36.079 Pretty good, Tom, been awful busy getting us some landscaping weren't done and 7 00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:39.240 getting caught up. We're selling a lot of plants at the nursery too, 8 00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:45.200 and we're kind of selling a lot of hummingbird and oh the mother things. 9 00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:50.640 What are they? A lot of things humming bird plants. Yeah, yeah, 10 00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:54.560 anyway that they liked to hummingbird plants, so we'll get those. And 11 00:00:55.159 --> 00:00:57.439 so that's kind of kind of cool going on around. It's kind of the 12 00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:00.479 hot time of the year too, obviously a little bit, and you have 13 00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:04.000 to obviously have to be very concerned conservative with water, and as I've say 14 00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:07.480 it in the past, so we'd over again multi multi molts. That helps 15 00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:12.840 it. I have my tomatoes under about about nine inches of mults and there's 16 00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:18.519 plenty of moisture down there. So they're looking good too. They're looking really 17 00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:23.079 good. I think we've had about five tomatoes, but there's more on the 18 00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:26.719 horizon. But anyways, there's more and add a lot of mults. And 19 00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:30.599 also my drip system works very well. And that's kind of a system because 20 00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:36.480 it addresses the water specifically rather than just slinging out like you know, like 21 00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:42.840 hash on them Saturday morning, you know, but just yeah, really no, 22 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:46.879 it the more specific the water you can, the more efficient you're going 23 00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:49.400 to be with it. And let's let's clarify things. Larry's using bathwater these 24 00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:55.239 days because of the conservation of water. Yeah, I use for my elephant 25 00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:57.879 ears here. Yeah, and they're doing fine, but they are, but 26 00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:01.959 they're clean. Who wants the dirty elephant? Your planets, not me? 27 00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:06.719 Anyway, that works works for rather what plants don't seem to care about what's 28 00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:12.840 going on, and it's wat it's water. It's good. Yeah. A 29 00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:15.319 lot of my customers are doing the same thing, but they are. Yeah. 30 00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:20.319 Yeah, I got a bather a couple of buckets in the showers also, 31 00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:27.599 and it it helps uh to alleviate having to use so much water sure 32 00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:30.400 waste. So that's the one way to do it. Of course, what 33 00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:32.479 I what I talked about in the last winter and all in the spring gets 34 00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:37.000 a good deep soil prep so that water can get down into that soil. 35 00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:40.360 That's a practice we follow when we do landscaping. It's really loosen it up 36 00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:46.039 because the soil is acts sort of as a capacitor for water. It's sore 37 00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:50.520 as water and does a good job of the two if it If it's opened 38 00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:53.879 up enough so that's where the compost comes in. It makes the soil will 39 00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:59.199 pour, so it goes down deep. And also when when it comes to 40 00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:01.599 water usage, Uh, I've said a priority at my house, I make 41 00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:06.919 sure the foundation has adequate moisture. First. Hadn't water my grass yet this 42 00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:13.719 year. You know, it's starting to turn a little round but in places. 43 00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:16.599 So what I'm gonna do is dig that up and take the rocks out 44 00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:23.080 and put some soiler out there, so so that'll help it later on. 45 00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:28.280 Having some soilers can grow in beside rock. So anyway, so just just 46 00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:30.120 kind of ease up on the grass a little bit. It'll survive, okay, 47 00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:34.240 you know, once a week it's fine. But I, like I 48 00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:38.319 said, I don't water my grass. I'll value the water more than my 49 00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:40.879 grass. Yeah, So I don't do that anyway. At the Nurse Creek 50 00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:46.439 container in Balden Brees bald burn out trees can be planted about anytime. You 51 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:52.120 got a phone call this morning sixty five kind of plants and trees and things. 52 00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:54.960 So trying to beat the heat, weren't they lay Yeah, they're out 53 00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:59.520 there digging holes and I know you're up at four o'clock. How do I 54 00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:02.280 plant? They wanted to know how far apart the plant them and how deep 55 00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:05.400 and so on, and gave him some quick tips on it, and it's 56 00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:11.879 okay, yeah, I will do that anyway. So the cell phone comes 57 00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:14.879 in handy, Yeah it does. It just got gotten out of the bath, 58 00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:17.199 so filled the bucket and they answered the call. I didn't have the 59 00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:26.399 camera on good show here, so the hostess also they're still showing their their 60 00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:29.600 blooms and leaves. I have something my house. Between the shed and the 61 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.480 house, there's a building code that's part of how far away from the house 62 00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:39.759 she can have the outbuilding and all that, so that there's nine feet and 63 00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:42.240 there's a pathway. They're also to get from one part of the yard to 64 00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:46.000 another. And they're doing fine in that and that niche if you will big 65 00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:48.959 old leaves and flowers on them and all that. I haven't watered them yet 66 00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:55.040 this year. You're doing just fine. So you make these microclimates for them 67 00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:59.360 like that, and they do very well. Okay, hostess are showing the 68 00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:01.920 blooms real well too. The en Corzelia is show a little flower here and 69 00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:05.399 there, and the cone flowers are starting to show some color too. Cone 70 00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:11.839 flowers is uh, the e and aca is a native species that the hummingbirds 71 00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:15.079 are like too. Oh yeah, they're gimming hummy to the hummingbirds hum like 72 00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:19.480 this real well. Yeah, and butterflies and monarchs are like them well too. 73 00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:25.160 So anyway, you're gonna have friends if the wildlife kingdom out there, 74 00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:29.639 if we have that is going on. Yeah, they like my sunflowers too, 75 00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:34.120 the sunflowers in the backyard too, and the squirrels like the seeds so 76 00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:40.040 whatever. Anyway, So anyway, they're starting to exhibit some color. The 77 00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:44.160 hard hill biscuits are just about ready to bloom out, and the crepe myrtles 78 00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:46.800 seem a little bit late this year for some odd reason. I think it's 79 00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:53.560 because of the rather cool spring wind this year and cool and relatively dry spring, 80 00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:57.759 so they're they're a little slow, so they'll be out pretty soon. 81 00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:01.839 And the hard hir biscuits too. Got some of my yard that have your 82 00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:09.839 blooms that they're six feet another. They're big, big old flowers all that, 83 00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:14.600 and they're very drought tolerant also too. So life's going on pretty well 84 00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:17.120 despite our lack of water. And some of the indigenous plants, some of 85 00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:20.800 the well established plants are they're they're not affective. You don't see any trees 86 00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:25.199 out there they're have any problems, no, because we have pretty good water, 87 00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:28.839 pretty good water down deep. But it's just on the surface where the 88 00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:31.759 grass and your flowers are where we have some issues there. So and I 89 00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:35.480 always say just be conservative with the water and just water that only wind it's 90 00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:40.800 needed, and they do fine. We've we've done some landscapes too in the 91 00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:46.199 past that also utilize little water requiring plants, and we're in the process of 92 00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:51.959 doing one right now where the plant materials are more drought tolerant than others. 93 00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:58.120 And there's some microclimates involved in the site too, where you use different kinds 94 00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:00.839 of plants in the shade, in the sun and all that on the same 95 00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:05.519 property too, So and you try to use plants that will tolerate the low 96 00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:14.639 water conditions right well in those situations too, so usuagaus right. Anyway, 97 00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:18.000 that kind of gets to weeds and things, and round up is is a 98 00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:23.120 common, uh insecticidal. It's a little bit of controversy behind it at this 99 00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:27.240 point, but my mouth, my thought on that is just just don't get 100 00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:30.680 it on you. And I've had this theory about round up if if it 101 00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:32.519 wouldn't be much of a problem with the people that they made the stink. 102 00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:38.040 Yeah, you know, some of these insecticides or herbicides just smell bad. 103 00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:40.480 Yeah, you know, I don't want that on me. And if it 104 00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:44.519 really if they put some stink on in it, you'll get the point across. 105 00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:49.519 I don't be any problems with I don't want that. But they sling 106 00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:53.560 it around like you know, like sut mouth when when it doesn't smell, 107 00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:57.360 they think they they think it's kind of harmlets. So anyway, so be 108 00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:00.759 very careful with the use of that, make sure your proportionate proper. I've 109 00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:05.519 I've done some spots spraying on like cry brass. Taking care of it took 110 00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:09.319 it a week and a half. Yeah, well you know it's getting it 111 00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:13.600 out, but anyway, so round up is a good tool to use in 112 00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:16.199 an area where I say, you might have some gravel or something or unwanted 113 00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:20.480 vegetation. It's good for that. Yeah, and any any application of that 114 00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:28.399 that hits the ground is completely useless. This this mechanism works like through being 115 00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:33.480 absorbed through the leaves rather than into the ground, so it doesn't take a 116 00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:39.120 lot for this. I really think people over apply it too, so you 117 00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:43.039 have to be very careful with it and apply it asparingly and also use a 118 00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:48.120 spread er sticker per se. A lot of these plants have a little haired 119 00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:54.720 hairs on them, and that's designed to make rain water and stuff bounce off. 120 00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:00.559 And if you if you water it's particularly hard, which it can be 121 00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:03.320 in some parts, the same thing happens. It bounces off the leave and 122 00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:07.919 it's in his the ground that doesn't really get absword properly. So you want 123 00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:11.200 to add a surfactant to the to the round up. Now. Soap is 124 00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:16.000 a pretty good one who works pretty good too, but really a genuine spread 125 00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:20.320 it just takes a few drops. A genuine spreader sticker works really well to 126 00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:24.639 mix with that. So when you're when you're applying that around the brainier beside, 127 00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.919 you always want to use a spreader sticker with it. There you go. 128 00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:33.600 It makes the water wetter and it stays on the leave, so therefore 129 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:37.200 it gets a chance to do its job exactly. So if that's good. 130 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:41.320 A roundup works by being absorbed into the into the plant, and it stopped 131 00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:43.720 some growth mechanisms in the plant. That's why it takes it a little bit 132 00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:46.960 of time for it to work. Now sometimes you get quick kill. Yeah, 133 00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:52.000 yeah, well that it comes back. That's die quod, and a 134 00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:54.720 die quot is worse than roundup when it comes to harming you and all that. 135 00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:01.200 You have to be very careful with it. Yeah, that's a really 136 00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:05.000 dangerous stuff. So anyway, it I think we had that once when I 137 00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:11.519 lived in Illinois. It killed everything. Anyway, round up motive or glashosate 138 00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:18.960 for the motive action to inhibit an enzyme involved in the synthesis of the amedio 139 00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:26.840 acids trio sne, triophan and phinileline, that too stopped all that production going 140 00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:31.759 on. If I gotta down there here too. So anyway, it soaks 141 00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.360 into the foliage and it's trans located in growing tissues and kills it that way. 142 00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:39.799 So anyway, that's kind of how round up works, okay, and 143 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:46.120 I'd be very careful with it too. So it was produced at Montano's campus 144 00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:52.120 located in Middleton, Wisconsin. And there are some roundup ready ready crops. 145 00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:58.000 I guess they're they're called GMOs yep. The only thing is they have a 146 00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:03.000 gene in there that's ops the mechanism of roundup or prevents the mechanism of roundup 147 00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:07.519 to work, so they can spray spray it all over the place and kill 148 00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:11.000 the weeds out. So that's kind of how that works too. So they 149 00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:16.320 engineer the plants to have an immunity to it. Yeah, I've seen that 150 00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:20.200 stuff. You know. It keeps the kids from walking beatings these days, 151 00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:22.799 you know. Yeah. One thing about the clapp is it also is it 152 00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:28.200 decomposes rather readily, so I don't think it's much of a problem for being 153 00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:33.120 in the food itself, so it's no big deal. Okay. So that's 154 00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:35.759 kind of the story with a round up. Use it sparingly, use it 155 00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:39.559 properly. Anything that hits the ground is a waste, yes, And don't 156 00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:43.240 get it on you ya, don't get it on you. It needs to 157 00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:46.960 makes smell. I'll tell you what we're gonna take the quick break. We'll 158 00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:52.600 be right back after this two minutes fifteen second time out.

Steve part 189 00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:18.840 of this and welcome back to the Green Country Gardener Program. It's a twenty 190 00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:22.120 two. Our telephone line is open at one eight hundred and seven forty nine 191 00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:26.360 five nine three to six. We want to talk to Larry Glass, our 192 00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:30.600 expert today and uh, well we got next on our list there. Well, 193 00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:33.000 another thing getting down to insect side server sides. I had some white 194 00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:37.879 fly on my tomatoes, which is death nail for your tomatoes. You don't 195 00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:41.559 want those, and I said, okay, So I said I'll try this 196 00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:45.080 stuff. It's a Captain Jack's dead bug. Well, I like the name. 197 00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:50.519 It's a spinazad which is a synthesis of spinazad A and B and uh 198 00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:54.639 it's it's sort of organics, very safe, sort of organicis well, not 199 00:14:54.759 --> 00:15:00.039 safe for the bug. It's a bacterial thing that was found in a a 200 00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:03.759 run factory because the buggins would jump into that soup whatever it was and they 201 00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:07.080 just die. So wow, what's the deal? What is this stuff? 202 00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:11.200 And I tried that. I'm like, I said, okay, right, 203 00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:15.240 fly really hard to control. So it comes with a we have it at 204 00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:18.799 the nursery and hook on the hosing kind of thing, and it worked. 205 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:28.159 I don't have any white Jack's dead bug. Wieflies are extremely tough to control. 206 00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:31.080 Yeah, and this seems to do the job. There's still a few 207 00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:33.320 I'm on there, but it's you know, a few of them aren't bad. 208 00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:39.039 Yeah, but you know, wipeflies they multiply like crazy, even more 209 00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:43.879 than rabbits, and I've always had problems with them in the past and just 210 00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:48.480 seat them up and then plants get weak and they go you know. So 211 00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:52.960 they're doing rather well, actually right and healthy. And also I have a 212 00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:56.120 nine inch layer of mulch on the tomatoes too. That works. That helps 213 00:15:56.159 --> 00:16:00.679 help keep it. If you're if you're soil, it's the moisture level in 214 00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:03.840 your soil. It's fairly constant. Then you don't have much of a problem 215 00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:07.200 with cracking and stuff like that. And and the road to me, it's 216 00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:10.879 just origented east and west, so they kind of shade each other a little 217 00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:15.559 bit too, so that helps kind of fly a little bit of wisdom. 218 00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:18.919 You're good. And I didn't grow tomatus or I think or anything last year, 219 00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:22.799 but every other year I'll I'll put them on there. Then I'll grow 220 00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:26.120 tomatus in the pots in the yard. You know the next year you don't 221 00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:30.399 want to put them in the same place. But really, with with the 222 00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:32.679 Seder role Chi, I don't know if the Seder Walsch has anything to do 223 00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:37.720 with it, but there's no bacterial lead spot on them this year. Well, 224 00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:40.440 if it's working, I'd stick with it. It's doing pretty good so 225 00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:44.039 anyway, and Kelly, I worked at soil up all winter. I even 226 00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:48.759 put a drip system in which I can't use, but put us there just 227 00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:55.840 the case. But anyway, they're doing just fine. So anyway, Tree 228 00:16:55.879 --> 00:17:00.879 the Week this year this week is uh blue spruce. And the blue spruce 229 00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:07.799 is actually somewhat drought tolerant and also tolerant of some alkaline soils too nice. 230 00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:11.880 It's pretty well barlows except for the clay, but anyway, it will tolerate 231 00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:15.079 dry clay if it's well drained. Got to be drained, ye, So 232 00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:22.119 narrow upright growth eighty two hundred feet tall, but not here it doesn't have 233 00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:25.240 a fight plan. We'll get to forty feet out of them, but yeah, 234 00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:29.000 about and about twenty feet wide or so, give this one lots of 235 00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:33.359 room. It cannot grow an anticipated area. I'll be a little bit rather 236 00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:36.640 slowly. But the thing about it is you really can't prune them back. 237 00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:40.759 You can't know, So you need to pick out a variety that that will 238 00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:42.160 fit the space that you want them to be. In the other ways situation, 239 00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:45.720 I want a blue spruce at the corner of the house. Well, 240 00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:48.839 it may seem a little odd to plant at ten feet away from the house, 241 00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:52.440 but but it'll grow into it. Yeah. In the meantime, you 242 00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:56.519 can plant some other things in between it and the house, perhaps to join 243 00:17:56.599 --> 00:17:57.839 it up a little better. I'm kind of taking a look at one of 244 00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:02.599 our neighborhood home. They kind of started putting their spruces right up in every 245 00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:06.480 corner, and it's like, well, that's a that's gonna cause a little 246 00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:12.160 problem here in a little bit. But anyway, they weren't. Anyway, 247 00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:15.880 this one does not like wet feet, and when we plant them typically we 248 00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:18.400 mounded up a little bit. Yeah, and I try to advise people keep 249 00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:23.799 it unless you put an upright growing sprucer. Are some vertical growing variety's totem 250 00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:27.240 is one of them. There are some others that it grows narrow and upright, 251 00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:30.480 so he can be planting close to the house without too much of a 252 00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:33.440 problem. Got it. But I'd like to keep him away from the west 253 00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:38.559 side. Uh, primarily because of spider spider mon Ye. Spider mights really 254 00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:45.279 like warm surfaces, and they will develop pretty quickly on the west side of 255 00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:48.880 the house. And also these have a tensity to get back words too. 256 00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:56.680 Yeah yeah, bag bag, But you remember what I talked about the spins 257 00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:00.720 ad. Yeah, it's a very good right after. Yeah, it'll knock 258 00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:06.240 out your backworms pretty quickly, so be prepared. And the backwards are kind 259 00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:10.160 of sneaking up on us this year. I've seen little tiny ones, even 260 00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:14.160 on some oak trees. So but they seemed to stop for a little while. 261 00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:18.599 Okay, but just a little while ago before it really stopped raining too 262 00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:26.240 much. I'm seeing them everywhere. The tackle the backwards remember that movie from 263 00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:30.720 nine, No, did we have a big problem without a few years ago, 264 00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:34.759 like like way out of hand. They ate everything last year, and 265 00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:40.440 their recurrence like that is somewhat cyclical, so I think we're on an uphill 266 00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:42.599 swing. Next year will probably be a real, real kill a year for 267 00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:48.119 backworms. So see, you wanted to look real closely at your spruce trees 268 00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:56.519 because they will defoliate tree rather quickly, and look for the little tiny ones 269 00:19:56.519 --> 00:19:59.960 at this point, small backworms, and what I talked about with the spinash 270 00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:03.559 very effective control for those. We did have some on a on a tree. 271 00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:07.559 We planted some little tiny bagworms. I sprayed it on it. The 272 00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:11.440 next day they were just complete. So and it's certain you can take a 273 00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:15.119 bath in this stuff. It's pretty safe. I wouldn't want to do it. 274 00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:18.720 I do it, but maybe it'll kill all the fleas and pick up. 275 00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:26.000 So it's a good. Uh. It's a good insecticide. And it 276 00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:30.279 does control the backworms for well, too good. However, if you see 277 00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:34.839 them and they're fairly large, and they and they stopped eating your plant, 278 00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:40.640 sin is too late, so they've already done their damage. So good. 279 00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:44.519 A funny thing is that backworms were different colors, like reds and blues and 280 00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:52.599 yellows. People would want them. I'll tell you what. We didn't take 281 00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:55.480 a little bit of a break We're gonna do that, but your telephone calls 282 00:20:55.480 --> 00:21:00.480 are walked up as always at one ain't hundred seven four nine five nine three's 283 00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:03.880 one eight hundred and seven four nine five nine three to six.

Yeah, yeah, the 311 00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:37.640 post emergent crabgrass control quincl iraq okay is if you can say that that three 312 00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:42.759 times quinn chlora que quick. We have at the nursery and product call weed 313 00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:48.599 out with Q and it's a selective Remember MSMA Mount of Sunny massid Myth and 314 00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:52.119 Arson eight. Yeah that one. Yeah, that one that was an only 315 00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:56.160 bit of goody. That was a popular one to control grassy. We actually 316 00:23:56.319 --> 00:24:00.279 annual grasses and targets in pretty well, but there some issues with the arsenic 317 00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:04.640 being that's always a bit of a bother staying in the soil and we don't 318 00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:07.319 want that in drinking water. So anyway, so they kind of took it 319 00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:11.160 off. They took it off the common market. You can still get it 320 00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:15.720 from wrench stores and all that. So anyway, anyway, crab grass is 321 00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:19.640 a warm season annual grass grows and best in the heat of the summer. 322 00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:26.480 I've seen some lawns that are made completely of crag grass. I have two. 323 00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:30.319 It's right next to my house. Oh yeah really yeah. Anyway, 324 00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:37.400 it overwinters as seed and the crag grass at this point in time is beginning 325 00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:38.640 to go to seed. It is, so we're running out of time with 326 00:24:38.759 --> 00:24:41.680 the control. Once they get to the point where it's a hard stage like 327 00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:48.799 that, you you missed the boat. So anyway, it comes up about 328 00:24:49.079 --> 00:24:53.519 mid May or lad when it comes up, and it is often killed by 329 00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:59.400 a fall frost. Crabgrass is not shay tolerant and grows best in full hot 330 00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:04.200 sun. Uh. Several long practices can be used to help control crab grass. 331 00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:10.480 A pre emergent urbside in the in the in the fall works rather well. 332 00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:12.440 Get it in there in February two. You want to get it on 333 00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:17.920 there, so to control the seeds from coming out. The word is control. 334 00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:22.240 You're still gonna have something here and there. But the technical fast majority. 335 00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:27.680 Yeah yeah. My neighbor crossed the street doesn't have crab grass, but 336 00:25:27.839 --> 00:25:33.960 I do. The winds of change, I know, I got I have 337 00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:37.440 one day a week I can work on my yard. Come on, man, 338 00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:41.359 yeah, really quit sharing so much. Well you know where it comes 339 00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:45.039 from. It blows up the street. My curb, curb in my house 340 00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:51.640 just stops that airflow jumped over the curb. There you go. We got 341 00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:57.920 crab grass on the southwest part of the yard. Word anywhere. So yeah, 342 00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:04.559 So anyway, a good healthy grass is a good control for that too. 343 00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:10.119 And knowing you when to put down a pre emergent and a post emergent 344 00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:11.240 urbside at the right time, we'll do a good job of controlling that. 345 00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:15.720 So you want to keep your grass getting healthy. And that is a you 346 00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:19.359 know, fertilizer about once in a month and watered occasionally. But we're having 347 00:26:19.440 --> 00:26:26.519 issues with water this year, so next year maybe it'll rate next year, 348 00:26:26.839 --> 00:26:32.160 So take your claw hammer and dig it out fall else fails. It's a 349 00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:37.839 it's more of a problem in warmer areas, say by curbs and driveways. 350 00:26:37.880 --> 00:26:41.279 I noticed that along the curb and along the sidewalk is where it comes out 351 00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:45.720 most. And it will fill in where the permuter grass had died out ahead 352 00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:49.920 an area where the grass died for some odd reason dive out last last last 353 00:26:49.920 --> 00:26:56.000 summer. And this year the crab grass is taken over. And I zinka 354 00:26:56.079 --> 00:27:00.920 was some round up so good. I don't know what to do with it. 355 00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:07.640 But anyway, it's take that, thank that. So so you want 356 00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:11.680 yeah, anyway, So crab grass, it's tough to control at this point 357 00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:14.759 because it's starting to go to seed. Yeah, so you probably missed a 358 00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:17.920 boat on it. A claw hammer works real real well too. You can 359 00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:21.079 see we're allcome. Just dig it up and put in a bucket and throw 360 00:27:21.119 --> 00:27:23.279 it out in one way to get rid of it too, unless you got 361 00:27:23.319 --> 00:27:26.799 a whole lot of it. So then you go and be out there a 362 00:27:26.839 --> 00:27:29.799 few days. Yeah, keep them more blade good and sharp. Yeah. 363 00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:33.359 So anyway, so crabgrass, you got to be strategic with it, and 364 00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:40.079 the timing is really important. A fall application of for diamine works real well, 365 00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:41.960 or spring application will work real well. You keep it under control, 366 00:27:44.079 --> 00:27:49.079 and then I say control and then post post emergent applications of a Queen CLARAQ. 367 00:27:51.319 --> 00:27:53.359 We'll do a good job to control it. But but you have to 368 00:27:53.480 --> 00:27:56.440 there's a time frame when that has to be done and we're getting out of 369 00:27:56.480 --> 00:28:00.519 that time frame right now. So okay, that's to deal with cray brass 370 00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:06.200 on your fescue lawns, they need to be fairly high right now and real 371 00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:10.039 tall. It does help prevent moisture loss if it has a lot of green 372 00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:15.160 on the top and the grass can transpire better and draw it more moisture that 373 00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:18.680 way, keep itself cool, so it's healthier. Bermuda grass about an inch 374 00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:22.960 and a half two inches tall, same with zoysia. Now Zosia is less 375 00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:26.720 drop tolerant than bermuda grass. So when you do selzio grass, you want 376 00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:32.680 to make sure you have some good soiled depth so we can tolerate our periodic 377 00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:36.319 weather dryness without much of a problem, without having the water all the time. 378 00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:40.720 There you go, So there you go. But anyway, if you 379 00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:42.480 do want to do some ground prep before you plan zisia. We're doing a 380 00:28:42.519 --> 00:28:47.240 project now where it's going to involve in selesio grass, but we're kind of 381 00:28:47.559 --> 00:28:49.880 kind of putting on a hold until maybe it starts to rain a little bit 382 00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:53.720 so we can water it in. Yeah, I'm I'm looking at that big 383 00:28:53.799 --> 00:28:59.920 old bright sunshine on that imagined. By the end of the week we might 384 00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:03.720 be at stage four really looking at it. The bet man would agree with 385 00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:07.759 you. Yeah, so, and then there's no no watering anywhere. No, 386 00:29:08.440 --> 00:29:15.920 so yeah, more more more bathtub. So we need more tub. 387 00:29:17.319 --> 00:29:22.000 We need to We need to keep ourselves and you know, ourselves clean and 388 00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:29.759 all that before we worry about the grass. But anyway. Um, oh, 389 00:29:29.799 --> 00:29:33.920 there's there's not I thought that was a third page. We'll take a 390 00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:37.240 break real quick, right back, but more of the Green Country Gardener program. 391 00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:42.519 Remember you can always call in and challenge.

Our phone lines were open and one eight 423 00:32:09.880 --> 00:32:15.440 hundred and seven four nine five nine three six. Larry, what's uh what 424 00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:17.640 do we have here? We can talk a little bit about salvia. I 425 00:32:17.799 --> 00:32:21.400 might have talked about this last week, a little bit. It's a little 426 00:32:21.480 --> 00:32:25.559 square stem, you got it right. Pay attention, Pay at attention here, 427 00:32:25.640 --> 00:32:29.279 Remember that the salvia family goes all the way across. There's a good 428 00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:31.759 plant to have around here. And there's a perennial one too, several perennial 429 00:32:31.920 --> 00:32:37.359 and it was a wide spectrum of plants too. And another plant I like 430 00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:43.680 is Petrovska. It's the Russian stage. Okay. It has this, uh, 431 00:32:43.839 --> 00:32:47.039 this kind of silvery foliage and these blue flowers on it, and it 432 00:32:47.119 --> 00:32:50.319 gets to be a pretty good sized plant. There are some small one so, 433 00:32:51.160 --> 00:32:58.119 but it grows anywhere, and it's it's a perennial too. It's a 434 00:32:58.160 --> 00:33:00.319 pretty tough plant, so you might well, you might want to consider it 435 00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:04.839 if you got an area, what's some pretty good room in the landscape where 436 00:33:04.839 --> 00:33:07.599 it's relatively dried and you don't want to water something so much, you might 437 00:33:07.640 --> 00:33:15.079 consider the Russian stage or Trumb's easy for you to say, Yeah, anyway, 438 00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:16.799 it's it's a quite showy plant, quite large. All right, good, 439 00:33:16.880 --> 00:33:20.440 we got a call here. Let's go for it. Hi, good 440 00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:23.319 morning, and welcome to the Green Country Gardener Program. Your question to comment 441 00:33:23.400 --> 00:33:29.640 for Larry, Good morning, Larry, good morning. Have you have you 442 00:33:29.759 --> 00:33:40.079 had any experience with bind weed? Bind weed? Bind Weed's radio that? 443 00:33:43.359 --> 00:33:46.279 Yeah, it comes up out of real fat white flower on the top right 444 00:33:46.359 --> 00:33:53.279 now. Yeah, it's a tough one to control around. Yeah, I 445 00:33:53.359 --> 00:33:57.279 have it in my yard up. I just pulled it up and just keep 446 00:33:57.319 --> 00:34:01.960 after it. But it has a very deep root system on it. Sure 447 00:34:02.039 --> 00:34:06.480 I didn't understand you. I said, I have it in my beds at 448 00:34:06.519 --> 00:34:10.159 home and I just keep pulling it up. But it does have a deep 449 00:34:10.239 --> 00:34:15.000 root system, so it is difficult to control. Yes, it is, 450 00:34:17.440 --> 00:34:22.079 you know around it probably wouldn't kill it, would it. It has a 451 00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:25.000 very glossy leaf and because of that, it probably wouldn't soak up very easily. 452 00:34:25.119 --> 00:34:28.400 No, So what I do at home, I just pull it. 453 00:34:28.519 --> 00:34:31.719 I'll just keep pulling it. And if a plant can't photosynthesize, it can't 454 00:34:31.760 --> 00:34:35.880 survive, So it'll eventually just die out if you just stay after it. 455 00:34:37.159 --> 00:34:44.400 Yeah. Well I have some of that in the pasture and I can't find 456 00:34:44.440 --> 00:34:50.199 the chemical that will kill it. Yeah, it's very hard to kill. 457 00:34:50.239 --> 00:34:52.760 Okay, thank you. It's a tough one, all right, thank you. 458 00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:57.440 For anybody has any idea of how to control bindweed, Well, give 459 00:34:57.519 --> 00:35:00.920 us a sho yeah, because we'd like to know something that's not really you 460 00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:05.960 know, like deadly. Just no, it just gets Yeah, but it's 461 00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:08.000 a it's a tough one to control this very deeply. You pull on it 462 00:35:08.119 --> 00:35:14.760 and you get eight inches of stem before it breaks off the route. Wowee. 463 00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:17.119 And it is a pain in the neck. Now if you mix a 464 00:35:17.199 --> 00:35:21.679 sure factor in with it, with it help you know, to stay on 465 00:35:21.719 --> 00:35:23.440 the leave a little bit. Oh, I can experiment with it. Maybe 466 00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:30.440 we didn't. We did have you take hold project. But I think what 467 00:35:30.559 --> 00:35:35.800 I can do probably is I get a small container like like cut like a 468 00:35:35.840 --> 00:35:37.880 pop bottle. Yeah, sure, and and then dip it in that and 469 00:35:38.039 --> 00:35:40.880 see what happens. What happens? Yeah, yeah, with a rubber glob. 470 00:35:45.159 --> 00:35:50.360 Remember you don't want it on you. No, no, that'll probably 471 00:35:50.400 --> 00:35:52.760 take care of it. But it has a very waxy leaf on it. 472 00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:55.159 And because of that, tough. Yeah, what we need is some kind 473 00:35:55.199 --> 00:36:00.320 of bug that lead it. Now there you go. Yeah, then it'll 474 00:36:00.360 --> 00:36:04.840 probably eat your crape myrtles too. Oh well then then that's not fun. 475 00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:08.360 That's not fun at all. Ye see, we solve one problem creative. 476 00:36:08.800 --> 00:36:13.159 It's a tough one to control. And uh, I don't know if the 477 00:36:13.239 --> 00:36:15.920 cattle either or not. I'm not familiar with this. Yeah, I don't 478 00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:21.000 know about that. A nice sour of the milk a bit uh so much 479 00:36:21.039 --> 00:36:29.880 for the Swiss cheese, but won't be very gooda okay, yeah that that 480 00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:35.199 that gooded cheese. Yeah, I know, I know. Silent treatment. 481 00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:38.360 Wow? Could I heard a pin drop? Who? I kind of practice 482 00:36:38.639 --> 00:36:45.639 that's the best way to say. Nothing. But anyway, salbia as well 483 00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:51.000 and average or red soils and fertilized it kind of had as it needed and 484 00:36:51.199 --> 00:36:53.480 over long season it flowers as flowers will drop leaving kind of a bit of 485 00:36:53.519 --> 00:36:58.800 a ragged spike. But that's just cut it back a little bit and the 486 00:36:58.920 --> 00:37:02.079 new growth emerges, you know, kind of refresh too. So this one 487 00:37:02.519 --> 00:37:07.199 it responds very well too. Some cutting back now and then. So if 488 00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:08.480 you if you have like five leve minu a row, you might cut back 489 00:37:08.760 --> 00:37:12.840 actually two even them, and then let them, you know, just alternate 490 00:37:12.920 --> 00:37:15.519 them so they don't all cut back at the same time. But anyway, 491 00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:20.119 shabby is a very good plant for for our climate here because they just tolerate 492 00:37:20.159 --> 00:37:22.719 the drought real well. Didn't you say that? Like mint? Yeah, 493 00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:29.360 mint, just remember the mint family. Yes. And another plant that does 494 00:37:29.440 --> 00:37:32.559 very well in the landscape and the subber time is an annual pailinkle, okay, 495 00:37:34.039 --> 00:37:37.639 and it tolerates to eat real well too. Lantana is another good one. 496 00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:43.920 And the hummingbirds where they like the lantanas. So so there's a lot 497 00:37:43.960 --> 00:37:46.440 of butterflies like them too. There you go. So we get people coming 498 00:37:46.480 --> 00:37:50.880 in wants some butterfly plants, and here's some. I have a meeting with 499 00:37:50.960 --> 00:37:57.800 somebody today who is purchasing some for butterflies. So the secret to a butterfly 500 00:37:57.880 --> 00:38:01.440 garden is a fairly large. One say, they just kind of go in 501 00:38:01.480 --> 00:38:07.800 the wind. And I don't know if they communicate with each other, but 502 00:38:09.360 --> 00:38:13.280 I think you do. Say, hey, George, I found a big 503 00:38:14.480 --> 00:38:16.480 plot of flowers over here. Come on, bring your friends over. Yeah, 504 00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:23.000 let's go to Margees. So they probably don't. They don't communicate too 505 00:38:23.079 --> 00:38:25.679 much. It's just kind of wandering around trying to find them, though. 506 00:38:28.119 --> 00:38:30.800 I guess humming birds are the same way. We have a humny repeaters at 507 00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:36.360 our house and someone just asking me about those, and I bought ten of 508 00:38:36.440 --> 00:38:38.880 them. That's a lot of Well, you don't put them all out at 509 00:38:38.920 --> 00:38:45.039 once. They can only stay out for so long you want to. You 510 00:38:45.079 --> 00:38:47.400 don't want fungus to build up in there. It's kind of deadly for them. 511 00:38:47.599 --> 00:38:52.079 So we leave them out for a few days and empty mountain and put 512 00:38:52.159 --> 00:38:58.360 them in the dishwasher and make sure to put Yeah, so if you want 513 00:38:58.400 --> 00:39:01.599 to, if you want to have hummingbirds, and you how many repeaters by 514 00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:06.039 double and not you want to get just so you have somehothing that you can 515 00:39:06.119 --> 00:39:08.639 keep clean. And if you pull them over there and wash them or and 516 00:39:08.719 --> 00:39:10.880 it takes a couple of days to put them back up there. They're going 517 00:39:10.920 --> 00:39:15.559 to go somewhere else, so they don't quite understand. And I'll change them 518 00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:19.320 out at night too, so they're not exactly loyal. They're just gonna go 519 00:39:19.519 --> 00:39:23.199 to where. Yeah. I really think they come back every year at the 520 00:39:23.239 --> 00:39:27.119 same ones too. They try it out, they know where it is. 521 00:39:29.480 --> 00:39:32.559 Yeah, So anyway, that's so how many repeaters tiny? I don't know 522 00:39:32.599 --> 00:39:37.280 how they do what they do, but oh yeah, it's amazing just to 523 00:39:37.360 --> 00:39:38.519 watch that in motion. You just kind of look at that and say, 524 00:39:38.719 --> 00:39:44.239 I don't get wings just flapping and they're just there's nothing to them, no, 525 00:39:44.760 --> 00:39:47.360 because wings in the beak. Yeah, And earlier in in the the 526 00:39:47.760 --> 00:39:52.199 spring, we had a lot of the how many bird moth? Now that's 527 00:39:52.480 --> 00:39:57.159 basically the adult adult stage of the to me to hornworm, is that what 528 00:39:57.320 --> 00:40:00.119 that is? Yeah, I didn't know the jette. It's a tornado the 529 00:40:01.159 --> 00:40:07.199 tornado hern hornworm. Tomato hornworm is a fairly large about the size of this, 530 00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:09.599 a little bigger than this plug in thing over here, almost the size 531 00:40:09.599 --> 00:40:14.599 of your little finger. And they have a little spike on the back and 532 00:40:14.639 --> 00:40:19.239 they're green with the kind of an iridescent green color. But this a little 533 00:40:19.280 --> 00:40:25.599 bit of banding on it and a spike on the end MT yeah really yeah. 534 00:40:25.639 --> 00:40:29.840 I guess that the robins don't like that little spike so they don't eat 535 00:40:29.880 --> 00:40:37.199 them. Whatever anyway, and then and they turned into tornado a tornado. 536 00:40:38.360 --> 00:40:45.679 They turned into butter humming bird moth and they hover around and they were they 537 00:40:45.679 --> 00:40:50.840 were looking at my hanging pots, just just hovering around them. And I 538 00:40:50.920 --> 00:40:53.920 think they've kind of gone for now. They laid their eggs and they we'll 539 00:40:53.960 --> 00:41:05.280 have these big giant worms on her tomactus. Good. So okay, Well, 540 00:41:05.280 --> 00:41:07.800 I want to talk a little bit about also the yellow leave to Spyria 541 00:41:08.320 --> 00:41:15.239 Syria x boom. Well, it's actually somewhat drought tolerant and tolerant, no 542 00:41:15.719 --> 00:41:22.360 it is, but where am I oh? Attractive bronzy new growth matures to 543 00:41:22.440 --> 00:41:28.679 a yellow green leaf later on as it grows, and some crimson blooms, 544 00:41:28.920 --> 00:41:32.360 a small little bloom blom in the summer, and the fall color is copperated 545 00:41:32.440 --> 00:41:37.800 coprate orange. It's great in the foreground. It's a smaller plant, and 546 00:41:37.960 --> 00:41:40.880 it's deciduous and there's nothing about nothing to it in the wintertime, which could 547 00:41:40.880 --> 00:41:44.920 be a good good thing too, because it's always looks looks good in the 548 00:41:44.960 --> 00:41:49.880 summertime. It likes full sun and moderate growth. About three to four feet 549 00:41:49.920 --> 00:41:52.360 tall and spreads a little bit whiter. It's great for color accent plant. 550 00:41:53.280 --> 00:41:57.559 It's kind of a parallel to they say, the crimson pygmy barberry, which 551 00:41:57.599 --> 00:42:02.159 has these red leaves on them, and people find that attractive. And it's 552 00:42:02.400 --> 00:42:07.880 very hearty, very durable response ory world of pruning, and it's easy to 553 00:42:07.960 --> 00:42:10.920 grow. A drought tolerant plant even tolerates pour soil, hardy down to thirty 554 00:42:10.960 --> 00:42:15.440 below zero. It's a really good plant. Gives you a lot of color 555 00:42:15.519 --> 00:42:20.079 on it, but it has thorns. That's this primary drawback. They haven't 556 00:42:20.079 --> 00:42:22.960 been able to breathe the thorns out of these things. But when they're getting 557 00:42:22.960 --> 00:42:28.280 they're really not that spiky. It's the old thorns that that that persists on 558 00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:34.000 the on the branches. People get a little and probably the best thing you 559 00:42:34.079 --> 00:42:37.599 can do on your spiriha. It is such a plant that's so well suited 560 00:42:37.639 --> 00:42:45.920 for this area. Oh, I mean not Spatis firia, but the barbary 561 00:42:45.960 --> 00:42:49.760 plants. Yeah, it's to cut them back every spring, okay, almost 562 00:42:49.760 --> 00:42:52.880 to the ground. Oh for a good good oh, Yeah, they grow 563 00:42:52.920 --> 00:42:58.760 and developed so quickly the variegated spireas that they'll be assumed that size rather quickly. 564 00:42:59.119 --> 00:43:01.280 Again, so don't let them get too big. Same thing with the 565 00:43:01.679 --> 00:43:06.440 with the spirea plant. People let them get too big and they get ugly. 566 00:43:06.880 --> 00:43:09.079 They need to be cut back at least every year or maybe every other 567 00:43:09.159 --> 00:43:13.639 year for them to look real good. So spiria or a good thing in 568 00:43:13.719 --> 00:43:15.360 the landscape. They're very hearty, they're very easy to grow. There's no 569 00:43:15.519 --> 00:43:23.159 insects along with the the the colored leaped spirea, So the spirea and the 570 00:43:23.480 --> 00:43:27.000 and the barbara. I kind of use them in tandem. Down them. 571 00:43:27.360 --> 00:43:30.719 But the important thing is to cut them back, all right, gotta pay 572 00:43:30.719 --> 00:43:34.960 attention to they just they just look ugly when they get too big. Yeah, 573 00:43:35.400 --> 00:43:37.639 they kind of like kind of like Nandina's. Actually, actually they are 574 00:43:37.719 --> 00:43:42.719 related to Nandina's. They are, yeah, not the spiria, but the 575 00:43:42.840 --> 00:43:49.599 barbares. And the common denominator is the yellow wood numb the bart scratch scratch, 576 00:43:49.800 --> 00:43:52.440 Oh yeah, that's a barbaris yellow. Yeah, so there's always a 577 00:43:52.480 --> 00:43:55.760 way to tell. So anyway, that's kind of the story with small shrug 578 00:43:55.880 --> 00:44:00.880 that give you color and important thing is to cut them back rather sternly in 579 00:44:00.920 --> 00:44:02.760 the spring. All right, we're gonna take another break. We'll be back 580 00:44:02.880 --> 00:44:08.480 after this one. Let's see two minute, five second time out. Shortly 581 00:44:08.559 --> 00:44:15.079 after Charles Lindbergh's transatlantic flight to Europe, the Dole Pineapple Company sponsored a race 582 00:44:15.199 --> 00:44:20.360 from San Francisco to Honolulu in nineteen twenty seven. Lindbergh refused to fly in 583 00:44:20.440 --> 00:44:22.760 it, noting he couldn't miss the continent of Europe, but he's sure as 584 00:44:22.800 --> 00:44:28.320 heck could miss Hawaii. Frank Phillips saw the race as a great opportunity to 585 00:44:28.440 --> 00:44:32.679 advertise his new Phillips Aviation fuel. Frank found his pilot, a Hollywood stunt 586 00:44:32.719 --> 00:44:37.800 pilot by the name of Arthur Goebels, and named his plane the Woolerock in 587 00:44:37.920 --> 00:44:42.519 honor of the ranch. Eight planes took off from San Francisco on August sixteenth, 588 00:44:42.719 --> 00:44:46.280 nineteen twenty seven, and only two planes finished the race. The flight 589 00:44:46.360 --> 00:44:51.679 took over twenty six hours, and the winner was the Woolerock. Charles Lindbergh 590 00:44:51.760 --> 00:44:55.159 described it as the greatest event in air history. For the next year, 591 00:44:55.239 --> 00:45:00.159 that plane barnstorm the country, advertising Phillip's fuel In he returned to Woolerock. 592 00:45:00.840 --> 00:45:05.599 Mister Phillips instructed his staff to build a stone hanger for the airplane, which 593 00:45:05.639 --> 00:45:08.440 they did, and he stored the plane there. As he collected more and 594 00:45:08.519 --> 00:45:13.119 more art and artifacts, he stored a lot of it in that hangar until 595 00:45:13.159 --> 00:45:16.239 he finally had to enlarge it. Today, you know that airplane hangar is 596 00:45:16.280 --> 00:45:20.280 the first room of the museum as you walk out of the dome room. 597 00:45:20.960 --> 00:45:24.840 Next time you visit, remember what that room's initial purpose was back in nineteen 598 00:45:24.960 --> 00:45:30.159 twenty eight. That same airplane hangs proudly today in the museum at Woolerock, 599 00:45:30.639 --> 00:45:37.920 where magic still happens every day. Welcome home to Woolerock. Build upon a 600 00:45:38.000 --> 00:45:43.119 solid foundation of cast iron and steel.

And welcome back to the Green Country Gardener program. 608 00:46:24.679 --> 00:46:29.039 And let's go to the telephones here and good morning. Hi, you're on 609 00:46:29.199 --> 00:46:35.199 with Larry. Your question or comment? Good morning. I wasn't sure your 610 00:46:35.199 --> 00:46:38.159 break was over yet. Oh yeah, you timed it perfectly. Great. 611 00:46:38.599 --> 00:46:42.559 Hey, y question. I haven't heard you talk about this. But what 612 00:46:42.639 --> 00:46:45.880 about flowering quins? Um, My neighbor has one, and I see out 613 00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:52.599 my kitchen window. Yes, and it said bookou red blossoms on it this 614 00:46:52.760 --> 00:46:58.400 year by hidden. But it's not moving now except there was an occasional red 615 00:46:58.440 --> 00:47:01.199 blossom. But I've never seen any fruit in thing. You used to have 616 00:47:01.360 --> 00:47:08.719 one. They grew in far bed outside our church and it actually if you 617 00:47:08.719 --> 00:47:10.960 go on the way, I think somebody pointed a shroud in front of it. 618 00:47:12.840 --> 00:47:15.360 You know, you research it in the sunlight. Again, So Ry, 619 00:47:15.400 --> 00:47:17.440 what have you got to do to get fruit in these things? You 620 00:47:17.559 --> 00:47:22.480 need a male plant and a female plant. Yeah, the flowering well for 621 00:47:22.599 --> 00:47:25.599 one thing, when they bloom is typically it's very early in the spring and 622 00:47:25.719 --> 00:47:30.079 there's not very many pollinators out at that time of the year. So perhaps 623 00:47:30.440 --> 00:47:35.079 a more southern latitude you might have some better fruit on it. But even 624 00:47:35.159 --> 00:47:39.719 the northern one let let bloom a little bit later. But typically they're drown 625 00:47:39.920 --> 00:47:45.480 primarily for their flowers, and really the food production is nil, if any 626 00:47:45.559 --> 00:47:47.840 at all. Okay, it's kind of a kind of a freak if it 627 00:47:47.880 --> 00:47:52.599 does have a little bit of fruit on it, but then again, fruits 628 00:47:52.639 --> 00:47:55.199 good for nothing but throwing at something. But it's hard as a rock. 629 00:47:57.920 --> 00:48:00.639 But I understand they make a pretty good pie. They do. They do 630 00:48:00.800 --> 00:48:04.760 when you when you when you cook them up enough and all that. But 631 00:48:04.880 --> 00:48:07.119 yeah, flowering quints blooms. Uh this year, they boomed late. This 632 00:48:07.199 --> 00:48:12.920 year they boomed after the leaves emerged because we had such a change of environment. 633 00:48:13.880 --> 00:48:15.639 But most of the years it will bloom in the absence of leaves. 634 00:48:15.719 --> 00:48:22.079 Were a fairly brief period of time typically and coincident with the uh for Scythia 635 00:48:23.440 --> 00:48:29.719 so which which is actually remember the olive family. But anyway, so flowering 636 00:48:29.800 --> 00:48:32.039 quints, yeah, go ahead, and it's a good durable plant. It 637 00:48:32.119 --> 00:48:37.440 can take all the drought. I think it'll just grow in concrete. Uh. 638 00:48:37.599 --> 00:48:40.920 And it's it's a very durable plant. And it helps also to punt 639 00:48:40.960 --> 00:48:46.719 it back a little bit in the right after the blooms when it's done blooming 640 00:48:46.719 --> 00:48:51.480 in the spring, and it'll make a prettier shrub I think. But it's 641 00:48:51.519 --> 00:48:57.960 just a strong, durable, virtually pets free plant. Okay, great than 642 00:48:58.280 --> 00:49:01.480 all right, thanks going, all right, thank you very much. Oh, 643 00:49:01.559 --> 00:49:06.559 there's some Japanese vats of that which are beautiful when they bloom. It's 644 00:49:06.599 --> 00:49:10.400 a apple blossom like bloom, pink and white, really really nice kind of 645 00:49:10.480 --> 00:49:15.440 growths are regularly also, so they're real they can be real pretty plants. 646 00:49:15.079 --> 00:49:20.760 But the bloom is variable on that depending on the weather. It's just they're 647 00:49:20.800 --> 00:49:24.760 can' fickle well no, well, not tickle, but responsive to the weather. 648 00:49:24.960 --> 00:49:28.880 Okay. Responsive, So if we have a cool spring, they'll be 649 00:49:28.960 --> 00:49:30.719 late. If we have a warm spring to bloom real early, okay. 650 00:49:31.639 --> 00:49:37.880 So that you can't really count on the calendar. It knows when it's supposed 651 00:49:37.880 --> 00:49:40.960 to do it. Yeah, But it's a good plant. It's very durable. 652 00:49:42.199 --> 00:49:45.360 It does tend to also spread through writ divisions as well too. It 653 00:49:45.440 --> 00:49:50.480 does so it eventually it will form a bramble. So, if you know 654 00:49:50.559 --> 00:49:54.320 what I mean, I do so good. A lot of good plants like 655 00:49:54.400 --> 00:49:59.079 that are the goold fashioned plants like that that do real well. And with 656 00:49:59.239 --> 00:50:04.800 this weather a bit going on, we might see more of those. I 657 00:50:04.960 --> 00:50:09.119 get the feeling you may be correct. Yeah, exactly. So anyway, 658 00:50:10.039 --> 00:50:14.480 come by the nursery and check out our good selection of plants. We've got 659 00:50:14.840 --> 00:50:17.679 plenty of heart of hibiscuits out there right now, in varying leaf color too. 660 00:50:17.760 --> 00:50:21.760 Some of them have red leaves on them. Red flowers are very attractive. 661 00:50:22.320 --> 00:50:23.480 These are really easy to grow. It's it's a native. It's an 662 00:50:23.519 --> 00:50:28.840 American native plant, tooky, and it can tolerate some of the conditions we 663 00:50:28.960 --> 00:50:31.519 have here without incrouble troubles. I've got some of my house that are growing 664 00:50:31.559 --> 00:50:37.400 without without irrigation and they're doing just fine. Great, And it's a good 665 00:50:37.440 --> 00:50:38.800 plant to have. Give it room though, because you get a pretty good 666 00:50:38.840 --> 00:50:43.079 sized plant. So you've got to keep that in mind really when doing all 667 00:50:43.119 --> 00:50:45.159 your landscaping. How big are these plants are going to get? Yeah, 668 00:50:45.239 --> 00:50:50.440 you can't say this looks good right now, you have to wait and see 669 00:50:50.440 --> 00:50:52.840 what's going to happen here in a couple of years. Look look at the 670 00:50:52.880 --> 00:50:55.159 specs and that's why when we do a landscape plants that kind of firepart with, 671 00:50:55.280 --> 00:51:00.239 they'll grow into it three years later. Yeah think so. Anyway, 672 00:51:01.039 --> 00:51:07.320 Kevin, Kevin, Tom, come by the nursery and see what's going on 673 00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:10.679 and keep that shovel sharp.
