00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:18.719
<v Speaker 1>Kennedy McCall in here. She's the agricultural educator here with

5
00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:23.280
<v Speaker 1>our Washington County OSU Extension Office. And it's that time

6
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:24.399
<v Speaker 1>of year, isn't it, Kennedy.

7
00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:25.839
<v Speaker 2>Is that time of year.

8
00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:29.399
<v Speaker 1>We've got the big annual plant singal coming up. Tell

9
00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:30.480
<v Speaker 1>us all about it. Yeah.

10
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:34.359
<v Speaker 2>So every year our Master Gardeners, they're an association within

11
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:37.960
<v Speaker 2>the Washington County Extension Office, they put on an annual

12
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:42.719
<v Speaker 2>plant sale, typically at the Washington County Fairgrounds across office there.

13
00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:46.759
<v Speaker 2>It's a huge deal. We sell out every single year.

14
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:50.799
<v Speaker 2>Really popular thing and good time for that where we

15
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:53.320
<v Speaker 2>think we're past all of our freezes, so great time

16
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:54.439
<v Speaker 2>to get your planes in.

17
00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Well, this is great indoors at you're convenience. So you

18
00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:00.600
<v Speaker 1>have to worry about wind, rain, snow for you for

19
00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:06.239
<v Speaker 1>necessarily protected from it, but you know, anything that Oklahoma

20
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:08.439
<v Speaker 1>can throw at you, you're going to be in there

21
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:12.159
<v Speaker 1>enjoying the wonderful world of gardening. So I would ask

22
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:14.519
<v Speaker 1>how many plans you got, but probably the shorter ants

23
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:16.959
<v Speaker 1>would be what don't you have, But we're just going

24
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:18.120
<v Speaker 1>to say we have a big selection.

25
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:20.799
<v Speaker 2>We have a huge selection, so we have it buy

26
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:24.040
<v Speaker 2>our master gardeners. We have some greenhouses out behind our

27
00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:26.599
<v Speaker 2>office and they take care of all that starting from seed.

28
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:30.959
<v Speaker 2>So it'll be vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, all kinds

29
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:33.319
<v Speaker 2>of stuff. Those are gown by them. Best prices you're

30
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:36.359
<v Speaker 2>going to find in town. They really selling pretty cheap,

31
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:39.439
<v Speaker 2>great selection all out, and then we also have some

32
00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:43.680
<v Speaker 2>pollinator plants. We've got our butterfly boxes that are super popular,

33
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:46.519
<v Speaker 2>so those will come with some natives, some milk weeds,

34
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:50.280
<v Speaker 2>things like that sell out really quick, awesome selection. We'll

35
00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:52.359
<v Speaker 2>have some succulents and this year we're going to do

36
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:55.599
<v Speaker 2>culinary herbs as well, which would become kind of popular.

37
00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:58.439
<v Speaker 2>And then we also have our pass along So those

38
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:01.200
<v Speaker 2>are things that our master gartners have grown and they've

39
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:04.599
<v Speaker 2>propagated and are repotting for the public to buy.

40
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh nice, So what's the day?

41

00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:12.919
<v Speaker 2>eight to one or sell out and I'll tell you know,

00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:24.199
<v Speaker 1>That is great. Now you've been kind of busy with

48
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:25.400
<v Speaker 1>soil testing heaven.

49
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:26.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we have this.

50
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:29.159
<v Speaker 1>We got Larry, our garden guy. He comes in from

51
00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:32.360
<v Speaker 1>the greenhouse and he says both so if you don't

52
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:34.159
<v Speaker 1>know what you're working with, you need to get you

53
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:35.639
<v Speaker 1>everybody's been coming up to see you.

54
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:38.919
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yeah, we've been really busy. Soils the basis for

55
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:42.120
<v Speaker 2>everything growing. So you can come to our office or

56
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:44.120
<v Speaker 2>we'll come out to you get your soil tested and

57
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:46.000
<v Speaker 2>get it prepared for all these plants you're going to buy.

58
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:48.240
<v Speaker 1>Now. The thing is is that you can live in

59
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:53.159
<v Speaker 1>one town, but it not one soil fits all. I mean,

60
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:57.120
<v Speaker 1>just Bartlesville alone, you probably have anywhere from three to

61
00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:01.199
<v Speaker 1>four different types of soil. Compass this in the different yards.

62
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:04.479
<v Speaker 2>Yes, you do. We see quite a wide variety. And

63
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:06.719
<v Speaker 2>what's cool about ours is we can test it, whether

64
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:09.560
<v Speaker 2>it be your lawn, your garden, your pasture. We can

65
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:12.120
<v Speaker 2>tailor it to whatever you're wanting to grow and then

66
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:13.599
<v Speaker 2>give you recommendations on that.

67
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:15.879
<v Speaker 1>Oh you can do you go that far too. Yeah,

68
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:16.280
<v Speaker 1>we do.

69
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:18.000
<v Speaker 2>So you bring it to us, we send it to

70
00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:19.879
<v Speaker 2>the lab and they bring it back and then we'll

71
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:22.919
<v Speaker 2>give you recommendations to help you grow whatever you want to.

72
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:24.919
<v Speaker 1>You know, you cleared something up because there are a

73
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:26.479
<v Speaker 1>lot of folks thinking, well, I'm going to get a

74
00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:28.800
<v Speaker 1>sheet of paper and it's going to say clad over

75
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:30.719
<v Speaker 1>there and just be dead.

76
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:33.080
<v Speaker 2>Is really helpful if you're just getting started, or if

77
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:36.319
<v Speaker 2>you're pretty experienced and you just want a good basis

98
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:27.160
<v Speaker 2>Back butterfly populations, bee populations, and those pollinator boxes are

99
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:27.959

112
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:03.519

113
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:06.360
<v Speaker 2>So they try to provide edgingalk just selling you the plant.

114
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:08.000
