It's just I'm in the radio 15 00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:17.239 business obviously, but uh yeah, this evening looks like it could be uh 16 00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:19.400 a time where I'll have to be back at work. Let's just get it 17 00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:23.680 that way. They're looking a little uh, little ominous, Yes, little 18 00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:27.840 ominous. And it's a good opportunity to fertilize the grass. Ye, there 19 00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:32.879 you go, Because if you fertilize your grass, it won't rain. So 20 00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:36.200 what you have to do is fertilizer grass and wash the car. Yeah, 21 00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:41.239 yeah, that then it'll work. Then it'll work magic. Yeah, it 22 00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:44.239 work works as magic. So yeah, have to do that. You really 23 00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:47.000 wanted to rain. Know, you can spray your roses and your food trees 24 00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:53.480 and stuff. Yes, please don't be spraying any roses today. Maybe please 25 00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:57.599 don't be doing that for sure, exactly that I will kind of have kind 26 00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:01.480 of a day of break week tomorrow and then I have to actually be back 27 00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:05.680 at work here on Monday. So there we go. Hey, you know 28 00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:08.639 what, I think we actually have a caller to start out our program this 29 00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:13.639 morning. Good morning, You're on the air with Green Country Gardener. How 30 00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:17.240 can we help you? Good morning morning, good morning, good morning. 31 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:23.919 I had two questions. I've noticed the cicadas. I guess I'm saying that 32 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:28.199 ord right are coming out east of this area. Yes, are you noticing 33 00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:32.000 any of them around here? I have people have sent me pictures of cicadas 34 00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:37.280 emerging from the ground, wondering what is that? And yeah they are. 35 00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:38.919 They're up and coming. Also, look at your lawn and you see a 36 00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:44.719 little round circles in the yard with dirt kind of pile up around them. 37 00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:46.840 Those are the cicadas emerging. So yeah, they're coming up. Yep. 38 00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:52.280 And to answer your question, I'm actually experiencing that at my own yard as 39 00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:54.560 well, little holes coming out about Maybe they were those little mole things where 40 00:02:54.599 --> 00:03:00.759 they're called, they're not, they're cicadas. Yeah, the little more things. 41 00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:05.800 I can't I get together. No, No, my other question, 42 00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:08.159 I drived up my hust got three or four times a week. Yeah, 43 00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:13.639 it seems like I'm saying more and more turtles out on the highway. Got 44 00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:17.199 yes, some kind of migration or something. Well it usually when it rains, 45 00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:22.800 turtles across the road. So that means, yes, I know we've 46 00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:27.520 we've encountered several and everybody dodging around them trying not to hit the little guys. 47 00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:32.039 Yeah, you need to start save the turtles. Larry, Well, 48 00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:36.000 when they advent the hob acraft, then well be problem there you go. 49 00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:38.800 So yeah, I've seen them too, and maybe we should change that old 50 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:42.840 joke, white the chicken cross the road. Yeah, well maybe it's why 51 00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:46.400 did the turtle cross the road? They crossed the road before it rains. 52 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:52.479 Yep, that's what I've heard from from experienced people. Very good, very 53 00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:54.240 good. Thank you guys, thank you, thank you for the great call 54 00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:58.639 to start out our program this morning. And if you have any questions about 55 00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:05.560 turtles or more wordshell reptilian across the road, yeah, you can give us 56 00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:12.520 a call as well, total one. Anyway, at the nursery we have 57 00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:16.560 a really nice selection of memorial pots right now. These are containers you put 58 00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:24.040 at a grave or they actually make great planters at home too, the patty 59 00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:28.160 or something and a good assortment of colors and flowers on them, really nice. 60 00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:31.600 The heart high biscuits are getting rid of the large going to make a 61 00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:38.120 show soon hardly. High biscuits is most shadows and it's an indigenous species and 62 00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:43.120 it's been hybridized to be rather showy and give them lots of room and lots 63 00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:46.000 of sunshine. They don't seem to mind the heat and all that. No 64 00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:48.360 matter how how to get so hard how biscuits are blooming and just happy as 65 00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:56.079 a turtle on the road until that car comes around right exactly. But anyway, 66 00:04:56.199 --> 00:05:00.319 so they do mind at home are starting to differentiate a little, so 67 00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:03.199 we're gonna have some flowers on them pretty soon. We did have some strawberries, 68 00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:06.160 but I think we've outsold them all they were on sale, not anymore. 69 00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:11.319 And we've got all kinds of composts. Pere garden too good. When 70 00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:15.639 we do our installations, the standard operating procedure is to put some composts in 71 00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:19.000 the soil, and it's depending. The quantity of that is dependent on the 72 00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:25.600 structure and the quality of the soil. We encountered a landscape we were doing 73 00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:28.959 yesterday where it didn't require as much because the soil is just pretty good. 74 00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:32.959 Yeah. So, but anyway, it does help the plants get started because 75 00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.720 it doesn't aerate the soil, loosen it up, let's the ritz get out 76 00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:40.040 there where it really needs to be. You just simply just don't dig a 77 00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:44.319 hole into clay and right plant something to point at it and said you're going 78 00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:46.920 to grow. It just doesn't work that way. Yeah, I have to 79 00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:51.639 make sure the transition from your soil to what it's planeted in is enough for 80 00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:56.439 it to survive. It absolutely, and typically in our soil here. We've 81 00:05:57.079 --> 00:06:00.959 tried stuff over the years, yes, from that and everything else. So 82 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:04.879 we found that the back to nature compost because of its it's a it's a 83 00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:10.879 coarseness, keep it soil open so the oxygen can get down to the roots 84 00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:14.759 and so on. Yeah, we use that rather extensively. Extensively, I 85 00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:18.240 say, by the semi truckload. That's a good thing. That's a good 86 00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:23.240 thing. And it does loosen up the soil real well too. Uh. 87 00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:30.079 As far as what to be pruning this time of year, suh, Well, 88 00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:32.839 I had a notes in here on that somewhere, But anyway, it's 89 00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:35.360 if you have a dog with tree that's a little bit in the way, 90 00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:39.800 now it's time to do some pruning on it. I've done a little bit 91 00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:42.879 of pruning on some dogwoods here in town, just so when you walk by 92 00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:47.480 you you still have an intact eyeball when they get a little bit low. 93 00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:50.839 And also that's some light in. But you don't want to trim them too 94 00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:55.560 high up because you miss all the blooms in the springs. So we were 95 00:06:55.600 --> 00:07:00.680 doing some work last fall on a property and the customer on her dog would 96 00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:03.399 have pruned up and there are flower buds on it. And I told her, 97 00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:08.839 I will, I will not trim this up. There you go right 98 00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:12.600 outside your dining room window and with a blooms and have something really nice to 99 00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:16.199 look at. Absolutely, she's oh, okay. And so the spring we 100 00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:21.920 came in and trimmed it up. So you want to do that right now. 101 00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:26.480 Typically flowers or trees that bloom in the spring, you don't want to 102 00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:30.920 trim it really soon. At the middle of July vers of August, they 103 00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:34.439 begin to what we call differentiate in other words, the day length that's getting 104 00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:39.800 noticeably shorter and winter's on the way, and that's a trigger they get to 105 00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:45.040 go ahead and establish some blooms. So those need to be put at this 106 00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:48.399 point. Yeah, the same thing with the azalias. They need to be 107 00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:53.199 cut back right soon, too, sure, because they'll do the same thing 108 00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:57.680 about middle of July. It's too late cut them back, gotcha. Gotcha? 109 00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:01.399 Well that you know, you were talking about soil earlier, and I 110 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:05.000 did basically an entire soil regeneration project. That's kind of what I called it 111 00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:11.279 for my flower bed. Well, you know I live I live in the 112 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:16.920 downtown Bartlesville area, so that high clay content in the soil, so just 113 00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:22.480 basically went through change it all, put in some great potting soil as well, 114 00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:28.279 and some compost in there, and I planted fairly simple. This year. 115 00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:33.600 I put in a dalia and I actually put in some petunias just to 116 00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:37.919 make sure everything was right. And I'm telling you, and fertilized everything I 117 00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:41.840 even put. I replanted or relocated what I thought was a tiger lily, 118 00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:48.639 but it's it's another type of lily species that I don't know. I've used 119 00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:50.679 that plant Identify your app and it keeps on telling me different things, so 120 00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:54.240 I don't know. All I know is is a lily. But I'm telling 121 00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:56.960 you, after the fertilizer, after all this rain that we've done, my 122 00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:03.639 petunias are are going to be huge this year. That dahlia is growing up 123 00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:07.840 very nice right now. It's probably about two foot tall right now. I 124 00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:11.679 planted it right at the very earlier the part of the season, and that 125 00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:16.200 lily species, whatever it is, is just blooming beautifully right now. So 126 00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:20.320 during our commercial break, our two minute commercial break, I might show you 127 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:24.919 a photo of the lily that I have in my garden.

I actually 170 00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:46.519 the first time it said it was a tiger lily with the scientific scientific name 171 00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:48.720 for a tiger lily, and then it went off onto a whole other tangent. 172 00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:52.159 So tiger lily has an orange flower like that, but it has pots 173 00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:54.799 on it. Yeah, yeah, and I didn't see any and it's kind 174 00:12:54.840 --> 00:13:01.559 of a construction cone orange right, Yeah, it is with with the dots 175 00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:05.480 on it. I find them hard to find anymore. Yeah, I mean, 176 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:09.799 like, like I said, this was a relocation that it was previously 177 00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:13.879 in that garden, and whenever I went through and wedid everything, I saw 178 00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:18.360 it there. Yeah, And so I took it out, transplanted it into 179 00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:22.960 another location inside the flower bed and for lives. And it's just one thing. 180 00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:26.440 If you can get a tiger they did to spread a lot. Yeah, 181 00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:31.440 they're very voracious spreaders and they blew them so nicely and they don't get 182 00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:35.399 so tall that they just all over. So yeah, that's good. We 183 00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:39.799 got a call. Good morning, You're on the air with Green Country Gardener. 184 00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:43.120 How can I help you? Good morning. I know that's a little 185 00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:48.279 late for this question now, but for next season, what is there anything 186 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:52.279 we can do to prevent wear or kill? Yeah, and the golf courses, 187 00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:56.440 Yeah, there's something you can do. Make sure to water it, 188 00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:01.399 you know, reasonably well in the drought and following fertilization procedure very closely, 189 00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:05.720 because the only way to cure it now is just to resaw. It is 190 00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:09.559 that correct, not necessarily. My front yard was a disaster zone itself, 191 00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:15.720 and it's just about filled in right now, okay, and I just fertilizing 192 00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:18.759 it, uh huh, water and fertilizing. At this point, we've got 193 00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:22.039 plenty of water in the reservoir right now. Say that there is a chance 194 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:24.759 to rain tonight, so you might want to give it what the grass needs, 195 00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:30.399 and that can start with a soil analysis, but typically we have enough 196 00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:33.879 for some potassium in or soil that just at this point in time, probably 197 00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:37.559 a nitrogen application would help it along real well. Okay, sounds great, 198 00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:39.879 appreciate it, all right, Thanks all right, thanks for the call, 199 00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:45.360 and again if you have a question for Larry this morning, kid, that's 200 00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:52.320 called tot free seven nine five five. My front yard is an example of 201 00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:56.159 that. When they built the house, they put a little little layer of 202 00:14:56.240 --> 00:15:00.039 dust on top of the road, call it, call it done. And 203 00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:03.159 when it gets really hot and dry, the grass just kind of dies out 204 00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:05.480 a little bit. And this year, golly, it's starting to fill in 205 00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:11.080 what was left of it last year. But in the fall it may seem 206 00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:15.240 kind of crazy, but it didn't water it real well back when we could 207 00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:20.080 start watering again, sure, just so the rift system can get established a 208 00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:24.799 little bit better. And it's coming back real well. So absolutely absolutely it's 209 00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:28.679 go ahead. We have rain coming tonight, and yes we do. We 210 00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:31.919 talked about, yeah, we can do. It's gonna be. It's gonna 211 00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:37.759 be a car. Watch the car water your flowers exactly, exactly. Well, 212 00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:43.519 I was I was just looking kind of over our our our guiding points 213 00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:50.399 today and uh so talking about fruit trees and specifically pecands. Now you know, 214 00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:56.360 Larry, I have a big pecan tree in my front yard and it's 215 00:15:56.440 --> 00:16:00.759 dropping dropping that so especially during uh I and clear off the shake the branches 216 00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:03.799 or anything like that. So during the most reasons of your weather, I 217 00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:08.039 just got pecan shells and all kinds of stuff all over my yards. So 218 00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:11.879 I want to make sure I take care of that tree and take care of 219 00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:15.240 my yard as well. So I see here that there are some things that 220 00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:18.320 I should probably be doing to my pecan tree right now. Well, if 221 00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:22.759 you think that, and a zinc sumplement would help, okay, because that's 222 00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:26.679 a trace element that they seem to really like, and that would solve a 223 00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:30.000 lot of problems on your pecans. If you were to put a zinc samplement 224 00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:37.919 on there and the pecan nut case bear fermone trap can be put out. 225 00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:41.879 Now, it's if you're really serious, griller, gotcha, and I'm not. 226 00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:47.600 I'm really not. In fact, if I'm honest with you, I 227 00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:53.919 find I don't like pecans. And so this beautiful, gorgeous, seventy five 228 00:16:55.000 --> 00:17:00.240 foot tall pecan tree that is in my front yard, it's gorgeous to me. 229 00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:03.079 It's a nuisance. Well, yeah, they are a bit. But 230 00:17:03.359 --> 00:17:07.359 some people really like the pecans, of course, yeah they do. And 231 00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:12.200 luckily I have family members who like the pecans because well then get it. 232 00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:18.960 Well, the place I'm at now with this pecan tree, I moved there 233 00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:26.240 during the winter months in February is when I moved there. And since that 234 00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:30.640 time frame, just for me being proactive and getting all those pecans up, 235 00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:38.839 I filled. I didn't crack them or anything, but I filled six five 236 00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:44.559 gallon buckets full of fo cons and just try to give them way, just 237 00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:48.400 get him out of there. And now after the severe weather we've had, 238 00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:53.960 there's there, yeah, an impact on your yield this year. Well hopefully, 239 00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:59.519 I mean I hate to say that, hopefully, but because again I 240 00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:03.200 find cons has a nuisance. I really like to cook with. Forecan myself 241 00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:08.759 the con wood right like brisket? Yeah? Absolutely, Yeah, Larry, 242 00:18:08.759 --> 00:18:11.319 we have another call before we take our next commercial break. Here, let 243 00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:15.200 me go and get them on the line. Here. Good morning, you 244 00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:18.440 are on Green Country Gardener. How can I help you? Good morning, 245 00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:22.119 Good morning. We've ordered a bear root magnolia tree from one of those online 246 00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:26.799 companies, yes, and had it sent to us and we're on the third 247 00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:30.599 one now, and we're just wondering what's the best way to get those to 248 00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:34.720 survive when you when the tree arrives, they should have some instructions on what 249 00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:40.960 to do, but we followed that typically you want to put in water at 250 00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:47.160 least overnight to get the rip saturated again, and then the planet basically in 251 00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:52.400 mud should do. Yeah, we've kind of done that. The first one, 252 00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:56.559 the top boys cut off so it's fit in the package, so I 253 00:18:56.640 --> 00:18:59.920 thought it dried out too much, but it was green. Then the second 254 00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:03.319 on the roots were cut off, so we thought maybe there was enough tap 255 00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:07.200 root and it was still green. But then after a few weeks they just 256 00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:11.400 start to turn brown. The hole. Yeah, when you dig your holes 257 00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:15.160 to plant this, do you put any kind of supplement into your soil. 258 00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:21.720 No, we didn't do any of that. Okay, probably because our soil 259 00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:26.440 has a tendency to be rather heavy. You probably generated an anaerobic soil situation. 260 00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:30.559 And what you do when you dig your hole. Instead of making it 261 00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:34.160 cylindrical, if you were to make it bowl shaped, kind of like a 262 00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:37.799 cereal bowl and then get a lot of organic stuff and put in with it, 263 00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:42.160 I think you're going to have much better luck. Because then we tied 264 00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:45.680 a five gallon bucket and put some barnyard dirt in it, and we thought 265 00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:49.839 we'd transplanted in the fall. Okay, Yeah, you could put it in 266 00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:53.680 a pot or something like that and make sure you have holes in your bucket 267 00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:57.640 so the water does drain out. Yeah, we did that too. Okay, 268 00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:02.799 so we'll try this one, I guess. All right, all right, 269 00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:06.559 give it a shot. Thank you. If you have troubles bread by 270 00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:10.119 the nursery, maybe we can diagnose the situation there you go. Okay, 271 00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:11.720 all right, Hey, all right, thank you so much for your call. 272 00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:15.279 Thank you for enjoying the program.

I'm Nathan Thompson along with our gardening expert Larry Glass. You can 304 00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:56.160 give us a call toll free one eight hundred seven four nine five nine three 305 00:22:56.240 --> 00:23:00.799 six toll free one eight hundred seven four nine five nine six for any questions 306 00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:07.440 that you may have across northeast Oklahoma and southeast Kansas for gardening related issues. 307 00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:10.480 Now, Larry and I were talking during the break as well about some of 308 00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:15.240 the storm damage that has occurred obviously, and hopefully we don't get any more 309 00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:18.720 of that tonight, but yeah, it's not looking in our favorite There a 310 00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:21.759 lot of trees, lots of trees, lots of trees that were damage. 311 00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:25.079 So what do we do to those damages? First of all, if there's 312 00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:27.160 enough of the tree that you think it'll make a comeback, and then they 313 00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:33.119 will know if you train it ride the broken open, broken branch, you 314 00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:37.720 want to try to cut that square to limit the amount of surface area that 315 00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:41.400 where predators and fundus can get into the branch. So if you have a 316 00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:45.359 tree that's eligible like that, you can go ahead and cut it back and 317 00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:48.920 they'll they'll branch out again and do pretty well good. And some people are 318 00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:53.559 asking me what shall I replace my tree with? Well, really, if 319 00:23:53.559 --> 00:23:57.480 you have a real heavy storm, nothing want to survive, right, But 320 00:23:57.559 --> 00:24:00.319 there are some that are, you know, more tolerant and so on, 321 00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:04.640 and uh, we went up we went up to a house on Trickle Mountain 322 00:24:04.680 --> 00:24:10.400 this week and I made some recommendations of two species, the Chinese fistache being 323 00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:14.359 one okay, and another area is kind of a garden area. I said, 324 00:24:14.359 --> 00:24:17.559 well, appossum hall would do quite well. What now, Yeah, 325 00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:22.319 that's that's that's exactly the same. It's called a watch the same reaction I 326 00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:26.279 got as possumhaw is a native species grows around here. Real well, it's 327 00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:32.000 pretty durable and insect resistant. That's some nice berries on it too, and 328 00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:37.400 so it's it's a likely candidate for a small sized tree in the landscape, 329 00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:40.279 right. And a lot of the trees that have damage if you notice when 330 00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:42.559 they're falling over that there's a lot of dark wood in the trunk and it's 331 00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:45.680 kind of rotted out. So they were just sort of getting old. Yeah. 332 00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:49.839 Yeah, Well, our own Dave Woodell just walked into the studio. 333 00:24:51.559 --> 00:24:55.920 I'm assuming he's he's here working on the weekend, as he always does. 334 00:24:56.599 --> 00:24:59.400 Do you have a question, Absolutely, I have a question. You know, 335 00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:00.960 I don't have the My neighbor has an oak tree, and Chiefs was 336 00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:07.599 sailing from talking to a wood guy that those oak trees in Woodland Park are 337 00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:11.119 probably about one hundred years old and there at the there at the end of 338 00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:15.200 their lifespan. Is that what she said? That's exactly That's exactly right. 339 00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:18.799 So that's why the branches from her yard flow into my house every now and 340 00:25:18.839 --> 00:25:23.480 again. An no big deal. I have one other question. I had 341 00:25:23.519 --> 00:25:30.319 a I have a cotton not cottonwood, but a dogwood tree. And you 342 00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:32.559 know, last year, the last couple years has been pretty rough for the 343 00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:36.599 lack of water, and I thought i'd been watering it, but it didn't 344 00:25:36.599 --> 00:25:40.000 matter what I thought. The tree right now, it's funny when it came 345 00:25:40.039 --> 00:25:44.200 out. Is it only came out. It's not like that. It's not 346 00:25:44.319 --> 00:25:47.599 broke, it's not as a standard trunk. But I've got branches that have 347 00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:49.079 green leaves on them, and I have branches that are dead in a door 348 00:25:49.160 --> 00:25:52.839 nail, and I guess that tree is headed for the door. I don't 349 00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:56.920 know how long a dogwood tree lives they last question some time. Actually, 350 00:25:57.119 --> 00:26:00.680 well this has been there years, but this is this is probably twenty years 351 00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:04.720 old, Okay, a few years ago. Yeah, look at the trunk. 352 00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:10.480 Typically the problem with a part of the tree drying off, something wrong 353 00:26:10.519 --> 00:26:15.519 with the trunk, either it's been broken or bore infestations with a dog that 354 00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:18.480 I would probably say more likely it's a border problem. Yeah, well the 355 00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:22.279 tree has taken a little damage in the last couple of years from this same 356 00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:27.920 old tree. I'm talking about the last the last branch she shared of there 357 00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:33.400 was about twelve inches and when it came down on my side, that poor 358 00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:37.799 little dog would didn't have a chance. Well it can come back, it'll 359 00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:42.440 be shaped a little differently. Well it can't recover. That's the Japanese maple. 360 00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:47.279 It's shaped a little differently. And he also hit the Japanese maple. 361 00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:52.240 And I had a really pretty Japanese maple that became a sleep shot and oh 362 00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:56.400 boy, and I've trimmed it back because I didn't want to take it out. 363 00:26:56.799 --> 00:27:00.920 And now the half of the swing shot has died. So I'm thinking 364 00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:06.319 that at jeff Piece it took a really severe hit. I mean, we 365 00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:14.359 losso over half the tree. Anyway, I think that's all. And we 366 00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:17.559 talk about grass too, right, Yeah, we'll talk about maybe we'll talk 367 00:27:17.559 --> 00:27:21.079 about grass maybe after our next commercial. All right, well, let's let's 368 00:27:21.119 --> 00:27:26.759 go ahead and let Nathan do his thing. Go to your own studio, 369 00:27:26.839 --> 00:27:30.960 Dave Withdell. My goodness, gracious, I'm telling you. We love Dave. 370 00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:34.359 He's a great guy, great guy. Thanks for coming in visiting with 371 00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:37.799 us. It sounds like he needs a visit. He might need a visit, 372 00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:41.480 so you know he'll be here. I do that. I go to 373 00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:44.200 people's house, We walk around and look at you. There you go. 374 00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:45.839 Yeah, he'll be here for the next three hours or so. So before 375 00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:49.119 you leave after the program, go by and talk to him. That appointments 376 00:27:49.160 --> 00:27:59.319 to No. Well, yeah, lots lots of tree damage again across the 377 00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:03.440 entire area. Yeah, so if you look at it, a lot of 378 00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:06.680 the time you can tell whether or not a tree can be saved. And 379 00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:10.960 you can tell a tree will tell you. But in instances where you have 380 00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:15.720 a like my dreaded pecan tree that we were talking about earlier, I lost 381 00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:19.480 a lot of branches, small branches. Bear in mind that the tornado that 382 00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:25.960 came through on May sixth. Its track was actually its actual track was a 383 00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:29.559 half block south of my house. Wow, so I was very lucky. 384 00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:33.880 If you go south of where I am, I mean just total devastation. 385 00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:37.720 There was a e F two level damage that was just south of my neighborhood. 386 00:28:38.039 --> 00:28:41.799 As it came in through my area, it reduced down to an EF 387 00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:48.319 one. But but yeah, literally that track was a half block south of 388 00:28:48.359 --> 00:28:51.920 my house. So I've been picking up a lot of pecan limbs. So 389 00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:56.440 if you need some pecan wood, I might know a source. Larry, 390 00:28:57.680 --> 00:29:02.880 we'll talk, we'll talk, well talk, I gotta get Kirk.

We've been doing a lot of questions and answers today, haven't 422 00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:06.519 we. It's been great. Your whole staff come through that. Yeah, 423 00:32:06.559 --> 00:32:13.319 why we had here call you know exactly anyway on your on your grass, 424 00:32:13.759 --> 00:32:17.200 it's time to fertilize that bermuda grass. Well, I add iron sulfate to 425 00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:22.680 the fertilizer when I when they do it and darkness. The green color my 426 00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:28.680 lawn as as it were, is uh notice darker than my neighbor's yard. 427 00:32:28.920 --> 00:32:32.559 Well that's good because I use iron supplement, okay, and it does darken 428 00:32:32.640 --> 00:32:37.680 the color real well, and the gratch just seems healthier to that way. 429 00:32:38.039 --> 00:32:44.559 It doesn't seem to grow so fast. Well that's there you go. And 430 00:32:44.839 --> 00:32:51.079 I use a thirty six zero zero at this point. Fertilizer water fort rains, 431 00:32:51.240 --> 00:32:53.960 and I mean fertilize it rather the fort rains and being prepared to water 432 00:32:54.000 --> 00:32:59.240 because when you do fertilize, the rain goes north or south. Yes, 433 00:32:59.880 --> 00:33:04.319 the hete for light's yard. Today is a good day to for the lized 434 00:33:04.319 --> 00:33:06.839 folks. I think it would be. There's a pretty chance of rain. 435 00:33:06.960 --> 00:33:10.240 And if you're look at the forecast for the next week, yes I have. 436 00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:16.240 And I'm telling you I love Aklahoma, this is my home home state. 437 00:33:16.319 --> 00:33:21.519 Love it and I love talking about weather. But unfortunately, during the 438 00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:23.920 springtime, you never know what's going to happen. Yeah, this evening might 439 00:33:23.960 --> 00:33:28.359 be one of those times. Looking at the forecast for later on in the 440 00:33:28.400 --> 00:33:31.279 week, I think after Tuesday, basically talking Wednesday, Thursday, Friday into 441 00:33:31.319 --> 00:33:36.079 Saturday. Yeah, rain rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, 442 00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:39.000 rain, rain, and last year were given anything to have there you go. 443 00:33:39.160 --> 00:33:44.240 And of course, of course another trigger for rain, it's a SunFest. 444 00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:49.400 Of course SunFest is coming out in Bundlesville. SunFest is coming up next 445 00:33:49.480 --> 00:33:52.599 weekend. That's another trigger for rain. Absolutely. Well, actually it's been 446 00:33:52.680 --> 00:33:57.440 dry for the last few years, that's true, So hey, bring it 447 00:33:57.480 --> 00:34:00.680 really is so but you got really neat to just kind of hold back a 448 00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:06.279 little bit. Yeah, and untill this range so hard. But anyway, 449 00:34:06.519 --> 00:34:10.039 the weather guy, everybody always playing the time for those nitrogen applications and look 450 00:34:10.079 --> 00:34:13.440 at you on and see if it's really the color you want it to be 451 00:34:13.480 --> 00:34:16.079 and the density and some one. And if you don't have a very dense 452 00:34:16.400 --> 00:34:21.440 permuta grass growth, or if you do remember when the last time was when 453 00:34:21.480 --> 00:34:24.840 you furtilizer yard, it will probably be a good time to do it for 454 00:34:24.880 --> 00:34:30.320 a lighture grass. Yeah. Absolutely, I would help out in that, 455 00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:32.880 Larry. I would whenever I get home off of work this afternoon, I 456 00:34:32.920 --> 00:34:37.840 would help out. But as you and I have already talked about, I 457 00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:42.639 don't have a lawn, I have weeds. So I'm taking one project at 458 00:34:42.639 --> 00:34:46.400 a time, replacing and restting my front and backyard. I was going to 459 00:34:46.440 --> 00:34:51.760 be a project from owns in the house this week, which are actually doing 460 00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:55.119 a landscape on and she wanted to know if we would saw the yard and 461 00:34:55.199 --> 00:34:59.599 I said, well, how often do you fertilize your guard? She said, 462 00:34:59.639 --> 00:35:04.760 I haven't hundred and fourteen years. I'd be a problem. I said, 463 00:35:04.760 --> 00:35:08.559 well, perhaps, Uh, if you were to start a fertilizer program, 464 00:35:09.000 --> 00:35:12.440 you'll have a good one. And then then we looked at the yard 465 00:35:12.440 --> 00:35:15.559 walk closely, and there's bermuda in it, and I said, if you 466 00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:20.079 were to just begin a fertilizer program, you'd be surprised how fast the bermuda 467 00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:23.119 grass is there will grow and fill in. I've got crap grass, chick 468 00:35:23.159 --> 00:35:32.000 weed, and uh clover, that's my yard. Okay, if you got 469 00:35:34.599 --> 00:35:38.639 if we had, if if this was televised scene Larry's face whenever I said 470 00:35:38.639 --> 00:35:44.480 that, yeah, I think I probably need to totally till that entire thing 471 00:35:44.559 --> 00:35:45.480 up in recent Well, what you really need to do, it's kind of 472 00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:49.480 take an inventory, okay, and if there is some grass in there, 473 00:35:49.519 --> 00:35:52.760 some bermuda grass, and chances are there is some. Yeah, unless you 474 00:35:52.760 --> 00:35:59.280 have a lot of shade, the contrary. Okay, front yard covers the 475 00:35:59.400 --> 00:36:02.039 entire you might will and consider really not doing a whole lot this summer and 476 00:36:02.519 --> 00:36:07.639 concentrate on the fall then and establish the fescue. At that point, I'll 477 00:36:07.679 --> 00:36:10.039 just concentrate on my flower. But this year, how about that? Okay? 478 00:36:10.599 --> 00:36:16.239 And then and then September we'll talk. I'll talk. So I love 479 00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:20.239 that. Love that. So Also, if you have a lot of crabgrass 480 00:36:20.239 --> 00:36:22.760 at this point, it's not quite mature yet. And if you got some 481 00:36:22.800 --> 00:36:28.599 grass and you get that crab grass that the seeds come up the hill from 482 00:36:29.119 --> 00:36:34.599 from the neighbors, you know, yes, I apologize to my neighbors. 483 00:36:35.639 --> 00:36:40.239 Sorry, yeah, really. Quin Florac is the stuff you used to control 484 00:36:40.480 --> 00:36:45.079 crabgrass at this point. There's all kinds of products we'd out with q They 485 00:36:45.119 --> 00:36:49.480 call it queue starts of the queue, and it does. It's pretty effective 486 00:36:49.920 --> 00:36:54.920 post emergent control of crabgrass. It actually kills out the grass itself. It 487 00:36:54.960 --> 00:37:00.679 does have its limitation. So if the crabgrass is very well establish stand it's 488 00:37:00.119 --> 00:37:02.519 kind of real flat to the ground, and you're starting to get some seed 489 00:37:02.519 --> 00:37:07.599 production on your crab grass, it really won't work that well. So we're 490 00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:10.960 at kind of at the middle of the time frame in which you can do 491 00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:17.000 a post emergent control on the on the crabgraphs at this point that that might 492 00:37:17.039 --> 00:37:24.760 be something I could do. Yeah, but tell you dirtle wash away so 493 00:37:25.360 --> 00:37:30.760 you know me too well well, so you might want to if you do 494 00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:32.760 have an issue with that, so you might want to get some. Yeah, 495 00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:37.840 we have a product weed out with with Q. It's called and it 496 00:37:37.320 --> 00:37:42.679 does broadly plants as well. It will co out some dieback, not dieback, 497 00:37:42.719 --> 00:37:45.679 but a setback. If you will under permi grass, it will make 498 00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:49.599 it a little bit on the six side, So you want to make sure 499 00:37:50.159 --> 00:37:52.719 prior to doing that, or as you're doing it to give it some fertilizer 500 00:37:52.800 --> 00:37:55.760 too, so we'll recover better. But anyway, weed out with Q or 501 00:37:55.840 --> 00:37:59.679 Queen Clorac. This is the stuff we use now. Used to be we 502 00:37:59.719 --> 00:38:05.280 had MS, which is monosodium acid method arsenate. That's some tongue time. 503 00:38:05.519 --> 00:38:10.280 It was ill the old uh crabgrass post them and crabgrass control. But because 504 00:38:10.320 --> 00:38:17.119 the arsenic and the likelihood of getting in groundwater, so they kind of stop 505 00:38:17.199 --> 00:38:22.679 that for residential use. The farmers can still use it, but that's scary. 506 00:38:22.719 --> 00:38:24.480 Far way way way, way, way way. Wait, we're talking 507 00:38:24.480 --> 00:38:30.559 about it. You can't use it residentially or commercially, but agriculturally you can 508 00:38:30.599 --> 00:38:36.000 still use it. Yeah, that's why I understand that is difficult time. 509 00:38:36.679 --> 00:38:40.199 Okay, it's it's no longer available in the lawns or a commercial terp. 510 00:38:40.639 --> 00:38:45.599 You can use it on golf forces and on solid things, but but you 511 00:38:45.639 --> 00:38:49.639 don't want to use it and people don't in your in your lawn. So 512 00:38:49.639 --> 00:38:52.800 so anyway, it's good control of cribgrass. And also if you want to 513 00:38:52.840 --> 00:38:55.239 control the crabgrash, you can put a pre emergent down in the spring early 514 00:38:55.599 --> 00:39:00.760 good and that is a partial control. I used that and I still had 515 00:39:00.800 --> 00:39:06.000 some I forgot. I forgot one species that I still have in my yard. 516 00:39:06.559 --> 00:39:12.320 Dandelions. Oh yeah, God, Actually dandelions are superfood. Well good, 517 00:39:12.599 --> 00:39:15.960 so hey, you can get some rench dressing in the spray. Bole 518 00:39:16.800 --> 00:39:24.840 Jar has big pinnic over at even thousand, we're coming our final break of 519 00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:30.880 this show. This is a two minute and forty five second break. Forty 520 00:39:30.960 --> 00:39:34.800 five second break. We'll be back with the final segment of Green Country Gardner. 521 00:39:34.840 --> 00:39:38.920 Here on K one and KGGF after this. From the time Frank Phillips 522 00:39:38.920 --> 00:39:44.800 completed his magnificent Lodge home at Woola Rock in nineteen twenty five until Jane's death 523 00:39:44.920 --> 00:39:49.079 in nineteen forty eight, they entertained the rich and the famous from all over 524 00:39:49.119 --> 00:39:53.320 the world. Their guests included wealthy business legends such as John D. Rockefeller 525 00:39:53.320 --> 00:39:59.559 and Henry Sinclair, politicians such as President Harry Truman and President Herbert Hoover, 526 00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:06.199 entertainers Rudy Valley, Will Rogers and Rubinoff, famous authors such as Edna Ferber, 527 00:40:06.760 --> 00:40:10.960 Pilot Wiley Post, Elliott Roosevelt, son of President Roosevelt. The list 528 00:40:12.199 --> 00:40:15.239 goes on and on. As we look back on the parties and the stories 529 00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:19.800 and the deals that were being done at the lodge, we realized that it 530 00:40:19.840 --> 00:40:24.559 truly was the Great Gatsby of the Midwest. To most of Frank's guests, 531 00:40:24.559 --> 00:40:29.239 who were visiting from the East or West coast, and many times from Europe, 532 00:40:29.440 --> 00:40:32.400 they were truly seeing a glimpse of the wild West that they had heard 533 00:40:32.519 --> 00:40:37.400 so much about, while in fact that era was long over by then. 534 00:40:37.880 --> 00:40:42.320 Frank Phillips loved the history and wanted to do everything he could to make sure 535 00:40:42.360 --> 00:40:46.400 that his guests received there's money's worth during their visit to his lodge and to 536 00:40:46.440 --> 00:40:51.000 Wollarock. With that in mind, it was not unusual for a car load 537 00:40:51.039 --> 00:40:54.079 of his guests to arrive at the gates of Wollarock and their large black sedans 538 00:40:54.559 --> 00:41:00.519 and be stopped by masked bandits on horseback, taken from their cars and their 539 00:41:00.559 --> 00:41:02.800 wallets, jewelry, and purses, and then sent on their way by the 540 00:41:02.840 --> 00:41:07.559 thieves. What those guests didn't realize is that these were employees of Franks, 541 00:41:07.559 --> 00:41:12.559 who hurried back to the lodge on horseback, arriving well ahead of the cars. 542 00:41:13.199 --> 00:41:15.840 When the guests arrived at the lodge and burst into the house telling their 543 00:41:15.880 --> 00:41:21.719 wild and terrifying story to Frank, he would smile and point to the table 544 00:41:21.719 --> 00:41:25.159 in the living room where the stolen loot was on display, compliments of Uncle 545 00:41:25.199 --> 00:41:30.119 Frank. Once their blood pressure had returned to normal, they too enjoyed Frank's 546 00:41:30.239 --> 00:41:35.440 welcome to the Ranch joke. They came to see the wild West, and 547 00:41:35.480 --> 00:41:39.679 Frank Phillips obliged in true Oklahoma fashion, and they left Woollarock with stories that 548 00:41:39.880 --> 00:41:45.960 likely got bigger and bigger and bigger over the years. That same magic continues 549 00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:54.119 still today at this National treasure.

And welcome back to Green Country Gardener here 558 00:42:40.679 --> 00:42:46.039 on this Saturday morning. I'm Nathan Thompson in studio with our gardening expert Larry 559 00:42:46.280 --> 00:42:52.679 Glass. Sixty three degrees across our area is eight fifty three. We still 560 00:42:52.679 --> 00:42:54.320 have time for maybe one more phone called area. It's going to be a 561 00:42:54.360 --> 00:42:58.199 one eight hundred and seven four nine five, nine three six. If you 562 00:42:58.239 --> 00:43:00.679 have a question, this morning, and there's a lot of questions for surrounding 563 00:43:00.719 --> 00:43:04.719 crape myrtles as well. Right now, Larry, what's going on with us? 564 00:43:04.840 --> 00:43:07.880 Well, the crape myrtles are up and growing right now, and the 565 00:43:07.880 --> 00:43:12.000 winds damage should be quite evident at this point, at this point in time, 566 00:43:12.159 --> 00:43:15.599 if they're going to come out and grow, they should be doing it 567 00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:20.599 right away. And I've done some pruny on some crape myrtles, and you 568 00:43:20.840 --> 00:43:23.440 use some stratified trimming here and there and cut them back. And actually, 569 00:43:23.599 --> 00:43:27.159 if it looks kind of scruffy and there are some green on it, if 570 00:43:27.199 --> 00:43:29.719 you were to cut all the dead stuff out there, they look pretty good. 571 00:43:30.559 --> 00:43:34.000 Done that to several of them here in town. We're selectively pulling them 572 00:43:34.039 --> 00:43:37.440 away and they're starting to grow out again. So you have a good show 573 00:43:37.480 --> 00:43:40.519 in the crp myrtles this year, So anyway, good they will be differentiating 574 00:43:40.559 --> 00:43:47.039 soon. That's that's when the sunlight link the sunlight signals them to bloom. 575 00:43:47.360 --> 00:43:52.880 And that's happening real soon because we're getting into summer. It's long days, 576 00:43:52.199 --> 00:43:55.440 longer days, right, yeah. I notice it was still relatively that last 577 00:43:55.480 --> 00:44:00.840 night at nine o'clock, so I was in bed I was embedded, so 578 00:44:00.920 --> 00:44:02.840 I was still In fact, I went to that with the sun still up. 579 00:44:02.880 --> 00:44:07.480 It was kind of I'm not used to that. Anyway. The branch 580 00:44:07.519 --> 00:44:12.440 tips should be turning a red pratt soon and you start to see some little 581 00:44:12.440 --> 00:44:15.960 tiny buds forming, not right away, but not too long for now. 582 00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:20.000 Actually, fertilizing your crape myrtleist is a good idea to gave them some phosphorus 583 00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:23.800 space fertilizer ten twenty ten or something like that, and also mulch if it 584 00:44:23.960 --> 00:44:29.119 gets really hot and dry. The multi will help conserve water. And what 585 00:44:29.159 --> 00:44:30.599 do I do with my crape myrtles going into the winter. I get there 586 00:44:30.679 --> 00:44:34.599 a lot too. Yes, First of all, make sure they're really well 587 00:44:34.639 --> 00:44:37.000 watered, and that was a problem I had last year, right, And 588 00:44:38.239 --> 00:44:44.719 actually I'm saving my bath water for yes, lots of people were for your 589 00:44:44.760 --> 00:44:47.880 plants. And then going into the winter, they do need to be adequately 590 00:44:47.920 --> 00:44:52.840 moist and all that and a good layer of mulch also will do an excellent 591 00:44:52.920 --> 00:44:57.519 job of keeping the root system alive. We got a color, not for 592 00:44:57.559 --> 00:45:00.480 sure? Yeah, okay, but anyway, maybe well I think we do 593 00:45:00.559 --> 00:45:04.360 have a color a second year. Good morning, you're on the air with 594 00:45:04.400 --> 00:45:07.519 Green Country Gardner. How can we help you? Uh? Yeah, I'm 595 00:45:07.559 --> 00:45:10.719 calling. Uh. I live over Grand Lake area and have a couple of 596 00:45:10.800 --> 00:45:17.880 questions on grass. I is it I've been spreading that Kentucky thirty one speed 597 00:45:17.960 --> 00:45:22.880 down right, and you know it's kind of a universal grass. I got 598 00:45:22.960 --> 00:45:25.880 shade and son and you know, it seems like it's doing okay. But 599 00:45:27.760 --> 00:45:30.159 as far as my crab grass, I don't you know, I don't want 600 00:45:30.199 --> 00:45:36.079 to fertilize my crab grass. Yeah. But my question when you put seed 601 00:45:36.199 --> 00:45:42.800 down that Kentucky thirty one down that I bought in boat, Uh, when 602 00:45:42.840 --> 00:45:49.480 you put some type of like you had talked about some type of crab grass 603 00:45:49.639 --> 00:45:54.320 killer, will it kill the speed too or you got you know, yeah, 604 00:45:55.159 --> 00:46:00.280 the mechan of a mechanism of a premerchant is non selective, so yes 605 00:46:00.400 --> 00:46:05.000 it will. It will prevent the seed from sprouting. Okay, okay, 606 00:46:05.119 --> 00:46:09.840 So but can you I've kind of been seeding my with that Kentucky thirty one 607 00:46:10.280 --> 00:46:14.559 right glass here, and it seems to be filling in pretty good. You 608 00:46:14.599 --> 00:46:16.039 know, I don't pop dress it, you know, I just kind of 609 00:46:16.039 --> 00:46:20.199 throw it put it down because I bought a ficky down bag where you don't 610 00:46:20.199 --> 00:46:23.400 have to throw it out like you're feeding chickens. Basically, I guess, 611 00:46:23.400 --> 00:46:29.000 oh yeah, and you know it seems is that about the will it? 612 00:46:29.280 --> 00:46:32.760 Will it take roots throughout the season if you water it periodically? Yeah? 613 00:46:32.840 --> 00:46:37.519 K Y thirty one is a it's a very tough see. It's it's a 614 00:46:37.559 --> 00:46:43.199 clump forming form of fescue and used in the past a lot and playgrounds and 615 00:46:43.239 --> 00:46:46.199 things where something durable is needed, and that's kind of what I'm looking for. 616 00:46:46.519 --> 00:46:50.800 Getting it established. It can be a little bit tricky, and you 617 00:46:50.840 --> 00:46:53.039 want to start off with an analysis of your soil. I know, the 618 00:46:53.079 --> 00:46:58.400 Grand Lake area, the parent material a lot of stuff over there. A 619 00:46:58.400 --> 00:47:02.360 lot of your parent material is is sandstone based and it has a history of 620 00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:06.559 having a lot of oak trees in that vicinity over the years. Okay, 621 00:47:06.960 --> 00:47:08.960 so your soil pH might be a little bit on the off side. So 622 00:47:09.000 --> 00:47:14.679 you might want to start off with a simple litmus test on your on your 623 00:47:14.719 --> 00:47:19.480 soil just to determine what's going on with the chemistry. So if you're not 624 00:47:19.519 --> 00:47:22.960 having good luck breaptist soil just a little bit on the acid side, and 625 00:47:23.440 --> 00:47:29.079 timing is very important. Too. You start rescue seating in the third quarter 626 00:47:29.119 --> 00:47:32.719 in August is when you want to start your rescue seat applications. Uh huh, 627 00:47:32.800 --> 00:47:37.639 yeah, I've done that. But you said, like, I've got 628 00:47:37.800 --> 00:47:42.880 a big oak tree in my circle in my front yard, and of course 629 00:47:42.920 --> 00:47:46.360 it gets shade, so I figured, uh, you know, seat in 630 00:47:46.440 --> 00:47:54.079 it. But so probably the pH as you say may maybe counter productive to 631 00:47:54.800 --> 00:48:00.760 my kentuckted thirty one. Then that's precise precisely right. Yeah, yeah, 632 00:48:00.920 --> 00:48:04.360 there's been there have been oak trees there for thousands of years, and as 633 00:48:04.400 --> 00:48:09.719 the leaves decomposed, they exude some panic acid. Okay, if that's the 634 00:48:09.840 --> 00:48:15.079 case, we'll say, and how would you how would you interact that to 635 00:48:15.880 --> 00:48:22.760 keep that that fescue? Lime? Yeah, lime, So just buy a 636 00:48:22.840 --> 00:48:25.400 bag of lime and spread it out. Well, it's not quite that simple. 637 00:48:25.440 --> 00:48:28.880 You need to start with an analysis and that will tell you how much 638 00:48:28.920 --> 00:48:32.079 to put down. Okay, okay, so that would because I don't, 639 00:48:32.239 --> 00:48:36.199 you know, I have to hand water. It's not a sprinkling system. 640 00:48:36.239 --> 00:48:39.159 So but it's it seems pretty hardy. Even though it's not you know, 641 00:48:39.239 --> 00:48:45.199 every other day watering, it seems like you need Yeah, you probably need 642 00:48:45.239 --> 00:48:47.280 to prepare the soil a little bit, and to do that, it's time 643 00:48:47.280 --> 00:48:53.559 for us to sign off, especially in the old rocky soil over there. 644 00:48:53.599 --> 00:48:59.480 Absolutely, I guarantee you there's more rocks and soil. Absolutely, absolutely all 645 00:48:59.559 --> 00:49:02.599 right. Thanks so much for your call from the banks of Grand Lake in 646 00:49:02.800 --> 00:49:07.599 eastern Oklahoma. Larry.
