Speaker 1: Good morning and welcome to the Green Country Gardener Program
Speaker 1: right here on K one. Hey, I'm fourteen hundred, FM
Speaker 1: ninety three point three and FMT.
Speaker 2: Ninety five point one.
Speaker 1: The Green Country Gardner Program with our expert Larry Glass,
Speaker 1: is brought to you by green Plum Nursery and Greenhouses United, Renolds,
Speaker 1: Kelly Banks Tree Service, Roman's Outdoor Power, Accent, Pest Control, Ascension,
Speaker 1: Saint John, James Phillips, and Gateway First Back. Good morning
Speaker 1: and good morning, good morning, and welcome, welcome, welcome. I'm
Speaker 1: for our Green Country Gardener Program and Larry Glass is
Speaker 1: our expert you can talk to. Larry asked questions. He
Speaker 1: knows all kinds of things. He went to that college
Speaker 1: of knowledge called Georgia. Anyway, it is eight hundred seven
Speaker 1: four nine fifty nine thirty six.
Speaker 2: That'll get you on the ear.
Speaker 3: How are you doing there, Larry, fine? My hat is
Speaker 3: doing you very well. Look at this.
Speaker 2: It's going through a rough summer.
Speaker 3: It's boy, I tell you. It's all stiff and sweat
Speaker 3: and all that.
Speaker 2: Now, it's all stiff from frogs.
Speaker 1: And chili out there last couple of days.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been a little bit cold, but it's good,
Speaker 4: good working the weather. Actually, we're a lot done in
Speaker 4: the middle of some projects, a little maintenance work in
Speaker 4: the nursery and some landscape installations and things going on.
Speaker 1: Weren't you lifting rocks like a big old giant the
Speaker 1: other day?
Speaker 2: Yes, heavy ones.
Speaker 4: Yeah we uh are these big old limestone rocks, picking
Speaker 4: them out and sorting them and all that and carrying
Speaker 4: them around it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Man has no body fat on him whatsoever.
Speaker 3: No, no, no way muscle and yeah, I guess, but
Speaker 3: it's just what I do.
Speaker 2: What he does keeps active.
Speaker 1: Yeah, while the younger guys go, huh, he's like, come on.
Speaker 3: Go to the doctor. They just slap me on the
Speaker 3: behind and say, get out of here. You're fine.
Speaker 2: It's good. It's good to know.
Speaker 3: Anyway. In the garden.
Speaker 4: Right now, we need to be concerned about the oncoming weather.
Speaker 3: Speaks of weather. Looks like the weather man his own vacation.
Speaker 1: Yeah one he wants to be on sixty during the
Speaker 1: daytime and twenty something at night.
Speaker 4: Well, it's not getting dry yet, but it will get dry.
Speaker 4: And I don't really like going into the winter cold
Speaker 4: ring rather dry. So you can turn that little knob
Speaker 4: over there that the one third one down on the right. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: that one, and there you go. Then it'll rain.
Speaker 1: Maybe that one's been getting stuck on.
Speaker 4: Dry, but no, it's uh, we've the soil moisture is
Speaker 4: really good right now, so there's no problems with the
Speaker 4: soil moisture. And when the soil is moisture is good,
Speaker 4: your plants generally would do a lot better throughout the winter.
Speaker 4: So actually, I've had in the diggings, I've seen some
Speaker 4: root growth too on some plants. So they're even though
Speaker 4: they're not photo since its fanthesizing very much, they're still
Speaker 4: the rich.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let me put on my hat flang things you're
Speaker 3: thinking now. The root development is still occurring right now
Speaker 3: at this point in time, so it's very important to
Speaker 3: either multuar trees or start maybe a watering program, which
Speaker 3: is difficult.
Speaker 4: You don't want to freeze your faucets off. So mulch
Speaker 4: is a good way to control the.
Speaker 3: Peaks and valleys and moisture content.
Speaker 4: And when you have these these new trees or plants,
Speaker 4: all the roots are just just right there in the
Speaker 4: little area, and well I watered it and everything else died.
Speaker 3: What happened to it? Well, you might have watered around it,
Speaker 3: but you have to water it for a while at
Speaker 3: least at least for three weeks or so, specifically to
Speaker 3: the plant, and do it when the hose is cool.
Speaker 4: In the summertime, Yeah, the plants leave the hose out.
Speaker 4: You come home from work, let's water the tree. You know,
Speaker 4: just two hundred and ten degrees water trade died, why
Speaker 4: o water anyway? So it's kind of a slow time
Speaker 4: really for plants also, and a good layer of mulch
Speaker 4: is always a good defense against loss in the wintertime,
Speaker 4: and lost in the wintertime generally is due to dryness.
Speaker 4: And there's no rain in the porcast. Really that some
Speaker 4: good rain, and we've got to watch it very carefully
Speaker 4: because you've got a kind of a big investment in
Speaker 4: these plants and you want to make sure that they're
Speaker 4: pretty well cared for sure. So I go around my yard,
Speaker 4: dig around a little bit, and see if check the
Speaker 4: moisture level of the soil, and then water if it
Speaker 4: need to.
Speaker 3: I have a question for you, Yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 1: How cold is it before a mold can't do a
Speaker 1: deep diving in the middle of your front yard. I
Speaker 1: woke up this morning, I got this mole mound. They're
Speaker 1: in the front yard right now, dead center, and I'm
Speaker 1: thinking about myself. You know, that thing had to be
Speaker 1: pretty darn strong.
Speaker 3: Have you considered a dermatologist not that kind of mold.
Speaker 1: We had him for a while and then he went
Speaker 1: away for a couple of years, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: I'm going.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, oh I had one in my backyard.
Speaker 4: He actually found his way around the rocks, did a
Speaker 4: little tunnel, little narrow space, and I kept pushing it down,
Speaker 4: caving in his little cave, and he went away. There's
Speaker 4: nothing there.
Speaker 1: I just figure like surface and said, well, I gotta go.
Speaker 4: But most are kind of a kind of difficult because
Speaker 4: they are their mammals and they're somewhat gregarious.
Speaker 3: So getting them, you know, the moleworms would probably work.
Speaker 3: You put it inside their tunnel, and you need to
Speaker 3: know where their main tunnel is. In other words, I
Speaker 3: have a super highway and the branch out from that
Speaker 3: and then go back and forth.
Speaker 2: And this was probably down the block.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4: If there's a branch off of the maine and he's
Speaker 4: gone further than that, chances are he's going to abandon
Speaker 4: that one going down. He's still looking for grub worms
Speaker 4: and uh, but I guess bolts are too bad at
Speaker 4: the thing.
Speaker 3: If the eat grubworms, yeah, be in the fronood texts.
Speaker 3: You might invest in a lawn roller.
Speaker 2: Everything.
Speaker 3: But anyway, just check it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so they also eat the earth worms and any
Speaker 4: other food that might be on theerground like that. So okay,
Speaker 4: as it were, do you think they have both of
Speaker 4: napkins too clean off the food before they eat it?
Speaker 2: H they just do what the just do it?
Speaker 3: Both mold. There are some.
Speaker 4: Uh company certain town who do a mole control, so
Speaker 4: if you have a serious problem like that, you might
Speaker 4: consider that mole hold Joe. But on one thing that
Speaker 4: works pretty well is actually is a castor oil.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: It irritates a little snout and they go to different areas,
Speaker 4: so that can be applied.
Speaker 3: Also, it's sort of an organic way to control them.
Speaker 1: I don't want anything harmful going on there, just want
Speaker 1: to leave. Oh yeah, well somebody else play.
Speaker 3: Just put a little sign up in front of your
Speaker 3: neighbor's yard and say you're moles came over here. Plenty
Speaker 3: more stuff over here. Yeah.
Speaker 4: No, but really, there are some there are some repellents
Speaker 4: and things you can use, and and the castor oil
Speaker 4: is a very good repellent because because they're irritated and
Speaker 4: they go elsewhere.
Speaker 5: Like me.
Speaker 3: And if that doesn't work, there's there's other method you
Speaker 3: can choose to. There's several minutes. One of them is
Speaker 3: actually I.
Speaker 4: Saw one that used a a twenty two caliber blank
Speaker 4: and it's a little thing that goes on the ground.
Speaker 4: You smash the tunnel down, their main tunnel down, and
Speaker 4: when you go through it again, list it up and
Speaker 4: triggers again. And I can't imagine what the neighbors will
Speaker 4: think of that at the middle of the night. Boy,
Speaker 4: what the police are coming around? What's going on? Just
Speaker 4: charge that's my mold trap?
Speaker 3: Oh okay.
Speaker 4: It uses a shock wave tore theoretically get rid of
Speaker 4: the mold. But we tried to sell some of those
Speaker 4: but they didn't do very well. So uh, it's just
Speaker 4: kind of like Rube Goldberg of inventions all.
Speaker 3: Over the place for oh my really, so they're they're
Speaker 3: a little bit of a problem.
Speaker 4: So you can try several methodologies and should be able
Speaker 4: to get them under control. Hey good, So get that
Speaker 4: moult on the ground too. As the time progresses, the
Speaker 4: ground is going to get cooler. A lot of the
Speaker 4: plants we put in the ground are zoned six and seven,
Speaker 4: and if we get really really cold, it can cause
Speaker 4: some damage to the plants. And if the wrist systems
Speaker 4: are all happy, they should do just fine. So ad
Speaker 4: ad some molts to the surface and it makes you
Speaker 4: beds look nice too. I did some in my backyard
Speaker 4: last weekend Sunday.
Speaker 3: And it looks a lot better.
Speaker 4: Cleaned out all the dead annuals, tomatoes and stuff you
Speaker 4: get old shriveled up from the cold. Took them all
Speaker 4: out and raked it, raked the ground up, and took
Speaker 4: all the stuff and shredded it up and put it.
Speaker 3: Back on the ground.
Speaker 4: And then and then put some molts on the top.
Speaker 4: Looks really nice. I got my gorge drying.
Speaker 3: On it too.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, the big as a barrel, as big
Speaker 4: around as you can reach in your arm.
Speaker 3: Yet I hope they do okay.
Speaker 4: But anyway, cann is also it's time to consider digging
Speaker 4: up your cannibolbs or your Lephanier bolts too.
Speaker 3: Some people I don't dig them up, but you might
Speaker 3: want to dig up some of them. Yeah, Now, what
Speaker 3: I do with my grass clippings.
Speaker 4: I have this de thatcher machine and I suck it
Speaker 4: up with a snapper mover and dump it on this
Speaker 4: one area. It's actually quite small, it's about six by
Speaker 4: ten feet. And then I mix that in with the
Speaker 4: soil and plant my cannibolts in that well. They were
Speaker 4: eight feet tall this year. Wow, big beautiful things. And
Speaker 4: I dug them up last weekend. Started out with just
Speaker 4: a few bolts. I have four big old bult traits
Speaker 4: full of cannibol.
Speaker 2: So cool.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so if you want some cannon bulbs, we can
Speaker 4: discuss that in the march there we get to plant them,
Speaker 4: not now though, but or actually when the ground really
Speaker 4: starts to warm up when you want to plant them.
Speaker 3: So our table around there. So they're in a cardboard
Speaker 3: box in a garage. It makes it difficult to get
Speaker 3: the groceries in and out of the house. We actually
Speaker 3: have two vehicles in our garage and there's a little
Speaker 3: bit of room in between.
Speaker 4: So anyway, they're wintering right now in the little plants
Speaker 4: of a back didn't get outside in the backyard. When
Speaker 4: the time comes, nice, big healthy bulbs, they're really they've
Speaker 4: done really well, and all the shreddings from the yard
Speaker 4: just going that area and it's really helped them grow.
Speaker 4: So there's something to say about this organic stuff, you
Speaker 4: bet so anyway, time also the elephant air bulbs trying
Speaker 4: to take them up, and if you have banana plants,
Speaker 4: time to cut them down and dig them up to
Speaker 4: kind of do the same thing.
Speaker 3: And really don't put them in a plastic bag at all.
Speaker 3: That might stimulate some.
Speaker 4: Rot So I just put mine in an open trader
Speaker 4: in a cardboard box and they did fine all winter long.
Speaker 2: Some folks overdoing it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't overdo it. Don't overdo it, don't over do it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that'll be fine.
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna take a quick break. We will
Speaker 1: be right back after this two minute time out.

Speaker 5: need to go and the place you need to know

Speaker 10: Melissa Wandle was nine months pregnant with her first child
Speaker 10: when her husband Mark was killed in a car accident.
Speaker 10: His life insurance made a huge difference for Melissa and
Speaker 10: her daughter Madison.
Speaker 11: I wasn't going to have to worry about going to
Speaker 11: work every day, leaving her in the hands of somebody
Speaker 11: else struggling day by day to get by. A message
Speaker 11: from the nonprofit Life Foundation.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Green Country Gardner program. Say twenty
Speaker 1: two are full free lover for you to talk to.
Speaker 1: Larry glassar expert is one eight hundred seven four nine
Speaker 1: three sixth Larry.
Speaker 4: Roses turning back now out to about eighteen to twenty
Speaker 4: four inches tall on hybrid tes and battle loads.
Speaker 3: You want to go on the knockouts, It's time to
Speaker 3: cut the in back. You don't want to wait till
Speaker 3: they start to grow and the spring. That's a lot
Speaker 3: of wasted effort on the part of the plant if
Speaker 3: you were to it in the spring. So wintertime typically
Speaker 3: it is the time to do that.
Speaker 4: It is not time to cut back spring blooming things,
Speaker 4: dog woods for Scythia's flowering quint, stuff like that, buy
Speaker 4: burnhams and everything else, because you caught off the.
Speaker 3: Blooms when you do that. So dogwood trees typically cut
Speaker 3: them back immediately after they bloom. If you need to
Speaker 3: cut one back out, why anybody want to cut.
Speaker 4: Back the dogwood tree. But I've got one I planted
Speaker 4: too close to the shed we go, and I've got
Speaker 4: a rope on it trying to pull it, make it
Speaker 4: grow away from it, but I've been unsuccessful in that. Yeah,
Speaker 4: So anyway, also, Bernie Bush, they're going to get whacked
Speaker 4: tomorrow and get my shreader all.
Speaker 3: Put up, drink, grind it all up.
Speaker 4: I try not to let stuff like that leave the premises,
Speaker 4: so try to recycle it and use it in the landscape.
Speaker 4: And it's going to get The one by the house
Speaker 4: is it's kind of out grown, it's welcome, and it's
Speaker 4: just about eight or nine feet tall and it's starting
Speaker 4: to cold fall apart, so it needs to be cut back.
Speaker 4: So now at least I'll be able to see my
Speaker 4: barbecue grill from inside.
Speaker 2: That I see if lightning.
Speaker 4: That did happen, I know threw it. Put a big
Speaker 4: hole in the ground, my heavens. But anyway, so it's
Speaker 4: time to do some heavy pruding on some things. And
Speaker 4: the burning bush are kind.
Speaker 1: Of speaking of heavy pruning, here's a man who owns
Speaker 1: eighteen cylinder heads clippers only eighteen.
Speaker 3: I thought it was thirty two cylinders.
Speaker 11: I don't know whatever it is.
Speaker 3: Anyway, So it's time to cut some stuff back and
Speaker 3: kind of grind it up.
Speaker 11: You told me it's time to cut back on Thanksgiving
Speaker 11: at Thanksgiving, right, So every year in this past year
Speaker 11: did the same thing. Thanksgiving morning, I went up there
Speaker 11: and started cutting those rose bushes.
Speaker 3: Said that old turkey in the oven, and I just
Speaker 3: went to cut.
Speaker 11: I don't do anything with a turkey anyway. I just
Speaker 11: went out and started cutting them. And yeah, I actually
Speaker 11: took my tractor with my front end loader and put
Speaker 11: all the throwny bushes in there and just took it
Speaker 11: to the burn.
Speaker 2: Bottom and dump.
Speaker 11: That works.
Speaker 3: Okay, that'll work.
Speaker 11: You say Thanksgiving, and so I do it.
Speaker 3: Well, it's still kind of Thanksgiving now, so let's close enough.
Speaker 11: It's past it.
Speaker 3: You got all the way between now and Valentine's Day
Speaker 3: to do all the cutting.
Speaker 11: Oh really, now you're telling me instead of.
Speaker 3: The earliest time you can do it. Yeah. And a
Speaker 3: lot of times when you tell people to do something,
Speaker 3: I'll put it off. I'll put it off. I'll put
Speaker 3: it off and then it come June.
Speaker 11: That's one of my thoughts.
Speaker 2: You got to do that.
Speaker 11: That's one of my Thanksgiving to go out and cut
Speaker 11: those rose bushes.
Speaker 3: Usually I leave town for Thanksgiving, so I don't hear.
Speaker 11: Don't take those hedge tremmors and go to cutting them off.
Speaker 3: You need to melt in your Indian hawthorns too.
Speaker 11: You know what I'm gonna do with those Indian hawthorns.
Speaker 11: I'm gonna get straw and cover them up. Okay, what
Speaker 11: do you think good work?
Speaker 4: They don't do much photosynthesizing in the winter, so they
Speaker 4: should do Okay.
Speaker 11: Well, I'm just trying to keep them although we've had
Speaker 11: nice rains and so they should do much better with
Speaker 11: all that moisture.
Speaker 3: I have moisture. They'll do fine.
Speaker 4: But if it gets too dry, it's Oklahoma. I know
Speaker 4: you need to do something on your entry way too.
Speaker 4: I need to come over there and do a drawing
Speaker 4: for you. What are you talking about when you first
Speaker 4: come into the place.
Speaker 11: Well, I understand, what do you You did a drawing
Speaker 11: on this once and that's what.
Speaker 3: Dred years ago.
Speaker 11: Yeah, so what do we want to do now?
Speaker 3: I don't know. I'll come up with something.
Speaker 11: You mean on the gate there?
Speaker 3: Okay, we need some help.
Speaker 11: We just replaced all the holly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we planted Carissa holly.
Speaker 11: We put those in.
Speaker 3: They did very well for a long time.
Speaker 11: No, I mean new ones because they all died. So
Speaker 11: I jerked them out and they put new ones in
Speaker 11: this last year.
Speaker 3: Oh so they're okay. Then, okay, we are now all right. Water,
Speaker 3: don't forget the water.
Speaker 11: Well, there's lots of water up there. I turned the
Speaker 11: sprinklers off finally.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so anyway, winter a few sprinkler systems.
Speaker 11: I just shut the water off and turned the sprinkler
Speaker 11: system on and it's fine.
Speaker 4: I have a couple of sprinkler systems that we did
Speaker 4: that due to extenuating circumstances.
Speaker 3: We blowed them out with compressed air.
Speaker 11: Wow, how do you do that? You take one of
Speaker 11: the heads off and blow it down there at.
Speaker 4: The at the Backflilpaventure they have these little valves, a
Speaker 4: quarter inch valve on it. Threw an adapter. Yeah, quick
Speaker 4: coupler thing. Plug your air compressor into it and fired up.
Speaker 4: Hit the button and the valves work with air the
Speaker 4: same as you do with water. Oh, okay, you can
Speaker 4: shut off. You can actually use an electric valve to
Speaker 4: shut shut your air off somewhere if you want, and
Speaker 4: it blows all the water around. You haven't any problems
Speaker 4: with it at all. No freezing problems there now. Sometimes though,
Speaker 4: if if there is a situation where the pipe is
Speaker 4: a little bit shallow, say on the sleeve.
Speaker 3: Under drively or something, you do want to get that.
Speaker 11: Out there is I am gonna spray. I'm hopeful in
Speaker 11: the next week or so to spray everything with round up.
Speaker 3: Hope the wind's not out of the south.
Speaker 11: Well, I understand. I want to get it all sprayed.
Speaker 11: You know, it kills all that Those pretty purple.
Speaker 3: Flowers, yeah, they're up. Yeah, to use these.
Speaker 11: I can see them down in there. I know they're waiting.
Speaker 3: Waiting for February.
Speaker 11: Yeah, but if I get them, if I get that
Speaker 11: round Up on there, it'll kill them.
Speaker 4: Use a surfactant with that. Typically round up has us
Speaker 4: a facted in it, I know, but you have little
Speaker 4: tiny hairs on and you can put soap in there.
Speaker 3: So it doesn't bounce off.
Speaker 11: And so anyway, I'd like it, just hadn't. I thought
Speaker 11: today might be the day. But the wind's gonna be
Speaker 11: blowing so much it I mean, nothing's going to die
Speaker 11: from it.
Speaker 4: But other than if you use a fairly low pressure
Speaker 4: with a fairly larger op let, you have any.
Speaker 11: Problems, Well, you know I've got that.
Speaker 3: With the booms, three thousand pounds of pressure.
Speaker 11: Get plenty of pressure to get it out. It's not
Speaker 11: you know, it's a large area.
Speaker 3: Keep your droplet size up there and it won't be
Speaker 3: a problem.
Speaker 11: Well I'll get it done between now and Christmas. There'll
Speaker 11: be a day or two that we can go out
Speaker 11: there and start spraying. And it kills all those winter
Speaker 11: weeds and the hindbit.
Speaker 3: Well, well you're up, bring that thing up the road.
Speaker 12: I know.
Speaker 11: I could spray your yard for you five minutes.
Speaker 3: It's covered in leaves right now. To get these looks
Speaker 3: for the neighbors, got leaves under yard, it's.
Speaker 11: I don't they'll blow off. That's look at it.
Speaker 2: What do you think, Tom? I do the same thing.
Speaker 1: No sooner than I get mine done, they blow across
Speaker 1: the street and somebody else's blows.
Speaker 2: Right into my yard.
Speaker 3: It's like react and the maples and the nature do it.
Speaker 3: They're done. But the pin oaks, man, they drop stuff
Speaker 3: all winter.
Speaker 11: Long in the in the water oaks aren't or willow
Speaker 11: oaks one two, they're still hanging on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, willow oaks actually are a elongated form of the
Speaker 3: pin oaks.
Speaker 11: So well, let nature take its course.
Speaker 3: I know these oak Ley's. I don't have an oak
Speaker 3: tree in my yard, but my whole my beds are
Speaker 3: covered in oak leaves.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
Speaker 11: Anyway, So we're gonna so I got my rose bushes
Speaker 11: all cut back. I've got to go get some straw
Speaker 11: and I'll spread that out on those Indian hawthorns.
Speaker 3: It will help you. Any insulation like that would help
Speaker 3: you anyway.
Speaker 11: But do that.
Speaker 3: Don't let him get too dry.
Speaker 11: Though, and spray and spray the round up and I'll
Speaker 11: be good to go. And I could get the monkey
Speaker 11: grass and start mowing it down right now.
Speaker 3: February. It's you can't kill on seven plant, I know.
Speaker 11: But you can't kill it. I wish I could kill it,
Speaker 11: but I can't. Okay, I've tried. Good luck, monkey grass?
Speaker 3: Is it the green lit open?
Speaker 11: It's green grass.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's pretty hard.
Speaker 11: Okay, you can't kill it. I'd like to get rid
Speaker 11: of it.
Speaker 8: I know.
Speaker 4: I actually I did the experiment with mine grass in it. Yes,
Speaker 4: I used some grass killer it could took it out,
Speaker 4: and then it came back. I used some round up
Speaker 4: and did he even phase it?
Speaker 11: What the monkey grass?
Speaker 13: Yeah?
Speaker 11: I know it won't.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And and the grass died, but it's back again.
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 2: I agree with you.
Speaker 3: I tried to say it's not a grass. Monkey grass
Speaker 3: is actually a lily.
Speaker 11: Remember, I don't know how to kill it, but.
Speaker 3: Dig it up on the way. I can't kill the stuff.
Speaker 4: I've got some over by the gate that I really

Speaker 6: The Tulsa Wheelers are back for another ice melting. He shoots,
Speaker 6: he scores, don't.
Speaker 1: Alright, I guess we'll get back to that in a
Speaker 1: little bit. Right now, it's the time to get back
Speaker 1: to the Green Country Gardener program, all right here on
Speaker 1: your favorite radio station on and let me where were we.
Speaker 3: We were talking a little bit about roses.
Speaker 4: Time to trend back now about eighteen to twenty four
Speaker 4: inches on hybridse and thin out the h I cut
Speaker 4: back the climbers. When you have a climbing roads, you
Speaker 4: really don't want to cut it way back.
Speaker 3: You want to have a main.
Speaker 4: Scaffold or several main scaffolds on it and try to
Speaker 4: cut off some of the site branches just so it
Speaker 4: grows a little closer to the structure on which is attached.
Speaker 4: So the kind of story with climbers like that. So
Speaker 4: and also I'll be sure to multi the real good
Speaker 4: also and look for damage on the trunk, bore damage
Speaker 4: and rot and.
Speaker 3: Stuff on them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so really so it's a good idea just to
Speaker 4: kind of tide him up a little bit. You don't
Speaker 4: to spend a lot of time.
Speaker 3: With him, but do that. Not too much to worry
Speaker 3: about bugsol.
Speaker 4: Right now, however, comes spring, though, you want to start
Speaker 4: a program, and there's systemics out there that work.
Speaker 3: Very well to help keep the insects that day. Okay,
Speaker 3: got it.
Speaker 4: So not a whole lot to do with him. Winter
Speaker 4: clean up and printing right now, Rake the leaves and
Speaker 4: drind and cow post them. I use the lawnmower or
Speaker 4: a s redder, and my snapper does a good job
Speaker 4: of vacuuming up the leaves. Anymore. I will corravel these
Speaker 4: into a pile and it can be picked up. And
Speaker 4: I don't I don't throw anything away. I grind it
Speaker 4: all up and put it on the beds. It makes
Speaker 4: great molks, it does when it's shredded like that. Its
Speaker 4: kind of a nice look to it. So when it
Speaker 4: moved into a house, to the house, I had four trees.
Speaker 4: Now I've got fourteen.
Speaker 3: Leaves there. Yeah, for Google Earth, there's the house there somewhere, and.
Speaker 4: The possum Hall is in full berry right now. Possum
Speaker 4: hall is an indigenous species. And if you look real
Speaker 4: closely actually driving down the road or we might have
Speaker 4: somebody to look for you so you don't crash. But
Speaker 4: you can see some of them the berries on them
Speaker 4: right now. They're putting on a really big show this year.
Speaker 4: The Possum House. There's a whole row with them along
Speaker 4: the hillcrest on the Silver Lake Road there. And see
Speaker 4: that the red red berries on them. Mine in the
Speaker 4: backyard so covered in berries and four things that's kind
Speaker 4: of hanging down. So they're they're in bloom right now, bloom.
Speaker 4: But they're putting on their show right now. The Possum
Speaker 4: Halls had one come up wild too, and it's turned
Speaker 4: out to be a beauty.
Speaker 3: It's got lots of berries on it.
Speaker 4: So and one in the front bed too. You just
Speaker 4: sort of come up and if it's in the right place,
Speaker 4: I let it go on. But if they ain't, they
Speaker 4: just pull it up there. So a lot of happening
Speaker 4: right now and wintertime stuff too, So try to get
Speaker 4: the leaves. I'll keep the leaves off the grass if
Speaker 4: you can. And you use them in your beds as possible.
Speaker 4: They make pretty good mulchit. They're shredded up, looks pretty
Speaker 4: nice too.
Speaker 3: Nothing. I try to make nothing go to waste of
Speaker 3: the house. Like I said, I dug out my cannibals,
Speaker 3: Yeah said, they're looking pretty good. Yeah, time to do that.
Speaker 4: Also, it's still time to divide the iris. I've got
Speaker 4: a whole bunch of them, the rebloomers. They're blooming again
Speaker 4: until you, guys, let it get cold the other day. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you kind of slowed down a little bit, but they
Speaker 4: bloom in the spring and the fall. You got a
Speaker 4: whole bunch of them there. I gotta divide because they're
Speaker 4: sort of taken over. No room for anything else really,
Speaker 4: So that's that's gonna happen here in the next few
Speaker 4: weeks too. So it is kind of a busy time
Speaker 4: of year really in the landscape. So I need to
Speaker 4: get those printing sures sharpened up.
Speaker 3: Risk to go too.
Speaker 4: So anyway, at the nursery, uh, we have points set
Speaker 4: is the traditional Christmas plant will last through Christmas season
Speaker 4: and actually beyond. It is important to select the best
Speaker 4: plant for your home environment. And there's some pointers you
Speaker 4: can follow them picking out of points set you. At
Speaker 4: this point in time, we're still in the single digits
Speaker 4: of December, the December the seventh, the day that will
Speaker 4: live in infamy exactly. It was a dark day in history.
Speaker 4: But anyway, it's a good time to get your points. Anyway,
Speaker 4: you want to choose a plant with really dark green
Speaker 4: foliage all the way down the soil line. If you
Speaker 4: see some point setters that are on sail and they
Speaker 4: got yellow leaves on them them, well that's why choose
Speaker 4: bracts or modified leaves that are completely colored over. Sometimes
Speaker 4: when you grow points setis, if you get a even
Speaker 4: even some strong moonlight will cause problems with the circadian
Speaker 4: rhythms and it won't develop all the way.
Speaker 3: So you want to make sure that the bracts are
Speaker 3: completely red all the way through and no green spots
Speaker 3: here in there. They look better that way.
Speaker 4: That's why don't with a yeah, don't get one with
Speaker 4: a lot of green around the edges. Do not choose
Speaker 4: plants with fallen or yellow leaves. They've been in a
Speaker 4: truck for a while or in a big cart full
Speaker 4: of stuff, and they they like it really.
Speaker 3: Bright and sunny.
Speaker 4: If you know the native habitat of a Point Cetia.
Speaker 4: It's Mexico. They get ten feet tall. I can't imagine
Speaker 4: great big things. And really when they bloom, the bracts
Speaker 4: are real small the native species, and they've been hybridized
Speaker 4: to make these big bracts, and bracts are called the
Speaker 4: modified leaf.
Speaker 3: Actually is what that is. It's not really a flower,
Speaker 3: but in their native habitat they get to be pretty
Speaker 3: good sized plants. They remember the Euphorbia family, as indicated
Speaker 3: by when you break them, this white sap comes out.
Speaker 3: And that's characteristic of members of the Euphorbia family, which
Speaker 3: is a very broad basis, a huge family of plants
Speaker 3: and all kinds of different things, and the primary characteristic
Speaker 3: is the white sap. We get some native species around
Speaker 3: here that real wild and you break the leaf off,
Speaker 3: and I can't remember the name of it right now,
Speaker 3: but they have the white sat that comes out too.
Speaker 3: And typically they do very well in a drier climate,
Speaker 3: in a well drained soil, not one that doesn't really
Speaker 3: harbor a whole lot of water. They do quite well.
Speaker 4: The points that I should look full of balance and
Speaker 4: attractive from all sides. I mean, it's it's been very
Speaker 4: well drown properly, in other words, far apart enough in
Speaker 4: the greenhouse where they're grown to it. They can develop
Speaker 4: all the way around real well too. The plants should
Speaker 4: be two and a half times taller than the diameter
Speaker 4: of the container.
Speaker 3: So you do this with that, and then you go
Speaker 3: up with your little span thing on your hand.
Speaker 4: And measures the pot size, and go up with it
Speaker 4: and see the ones we have a meter or exceed
Speaker 4: that specification too. At this point, don't pick ones. Pick
Speaker 4: plants that are drooping or wilting. If they're drooping and wilting,
Speaker 4: they probably have been subjected to some cold weather and
Speaker 4: they're just continue to droop and wilt. And when the
Speaker 4: inlaws come over, you have all these wilded plants. It's
Speaker 4: not good, so you have to hear about it.
Speaker 3: Don't purchase plants that are displayed in paper or plastic leaves.
Speaker 3: You get rot rot when that happens, and subsequently you
Speaker 3: get the wilting coming on too. And if they're really
Speaker 3: displayed crowded too close together, you can have some problems
Speaker 3: too when you move into the house. When you get
Speaker 3: them into the house, though, make sure they're away from
Speaker 3: a cold window or a drafty area like that with
Speaker 3: a temperature subject subjected to change rather quickly.
Speaker 4: They don't do as well in an environment like that.
Speaker 4: In other words, by the front door. Yeah, you open
Speaker 4: the door and get the mail. I'll just leave it
Speaker 4: all open for a minute. I'll hurt your points.
Speaker 3: City comes back. Although youves fall off of it, Well,
Speaker 3: what happened? They are.
Speaker 4: And uh, if you want to keep one for a
Speaker 4: long period of time, you want to have it in
Speaker 4: a sunny part of the house, a southern window or
Speaker 4: a western window, or someplace where gets some directs light.
Speaker 3: It'll do a lot better.
Speaker 4: They tend to after a while. They'll tend to drop
Speaker 4: their leaves in the shape. So but you know, if
Speaker 4: you bring it in and you have it in shade,
Speaker 4: you really don't care.
Speaker 3: You just toss it after the holidays. Those are just fine. Actually,
Speaker 3: they'll their their survivors.
Speaker 4: They can take the cold well for not the cold,
Speaker 4: but the lack of light preval for quite some time
Speaker 4: before give it up. Yeah, they say, well I've had it.
Speaker 4: A lot of people have been able to keep their
Speaker 4: points steady.
Speaker 3: Is alive. And actually the memory of the aphobia family,
Speaker 3: they're very durable, very flexible as far as environment is concerned.
Speaker 4: However, a sudden change of environment can cause some leaf
Speaker 4: drop from my parents' issues, especially in the wintertime.
Speaker 3: Try to keep it away from the hot air duct
Speaker 3: on the house.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's a you know, that's a really good thing.
Speaker 3: You're not drying tobacco. You've got to plat you want
Speaker 3: to know we're not doing that.
Speaker 4: And uh, the flowers when they come out at this point,
Speaker 4: at this point in time, you look at the very
Speaker 4: tip of the of the branch where it comes out
Speaker 4: right in the middle of all the bracts, there's these
Speaker 4: little structures in the middle. Those are the actual flowers.
Speaker 4: And at this point in time, they shouldn't be open
Speaker 4: all the way. They should be somewhat closed at this point,
Speaker 4: just beginning to open. And those are the actual blooms.
Speaker 4: To the point set the bracts are modified lave. They're
Speaker 4: designed to attract insects and birds and things to pollinate.
Speaker 4: So because they have such a small bloom, so anyway
Speaker 4: they're going to have it and know they are not poisonous.
Speaker 1: Sorry, keep hearing that. Let's take a quick break. We'll
Speaker 1: be right back after this two minute timeouts.

Speaker 6: your Taulsa Oilers hockey are black.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, welcome back to the Green Jeffrey Guard in
Speaker 1: a program with your expert Larry Glass.
Speaker 2: I'm Tom.
Speaker 1: I just stay from home, and of course the phone
Speaker 1: line is the White hundreds up in fort nine three six.
Speaker 2: Let me what you got man cool.
Speaker 3: We talked about points. Set is in the house, Christmas
Speaker 3: trees in the house. Do a fresh cut when you
Speaker 3: get it home, put it in the water as soon
Speaker 3: as possible, and she'll be able to take home.
Speaker 4: Water and up become a crinkly dried up thing in
Speaker 4: the house. So that's kind of the way you do that.
Speaker 4: Make sure that when you come home you have the
Speaker 4: saucelid or the chains already to make a fresh cut
Speaker 4: on it. We used to sell Christmas trees back when
Speaker 4: people really use them a lot. We don't anymore, and
Speaker 4: we'd make a fresh cut on the end so they
Speaker 4: go home right away put it in water. So anyway,
Speaker 4: if you do get a real Christmas tree, make sure
Speaker 4: that you do that. Just the sap when it runs out.
Speaker 4: It tends to run out and plug up the The
Speaker 4: cambium layer can be but the sylum and keep it
Speaker 4: from drawing water up. So that's why you want to
Speaker 4: do a fresh cut okay, and put it up and
Speaker 4: decorate it to your heart's desire. But actually they can
Speaker 4: last quite some time if that does happen. And make
Speaker 4: sure after the dog drinks the water that you put
Speaker 4: water more water in it. So that's kind of it.
Speaker 3: With being in the half.
Speaker 4: Try to keep it away from the heater vents and
Speaker 4: all that too. And if there is a heater vent,
Speaker 4: you might put a deflector on it so it doesn't shine.
Speaker 3: Directly on the tree. It'll drive out pretty much too. Okay.
Speaker 4: A good time to plant trees in the landscape. We
Speaker 4: did quite a few of them this week, so it's
Speaker 4: a good time for that. Inventory is pretty good at
Speaker 4: the flyers right now. There's a bit of a delay
Speaker 4: in getting some trees dug up because of the weather.
Speaker 4: Remember it's really really warm and hot for a while
Speaker 4: the bam, all of a sudden it turned into winter,
Speaker 4: and you really can't dig up a tree when it's
Speaker 4: warm like that.
Speaker 3: They just don't do as well for some odd reasons.
Speaker 4: So there's a little latency on the availability of bald
Speaker 4: and burlot tree at this point. Container trees are a
Speaker 4: little bit different. We do have some that were grown
Speaker 4: in containers actually, and there's no loss to the root
Speaker 4: system as it is planted, so we have a better
Speaker 4: rate of success when we do that. And we do
Speaker 4: have a pretty good selection of trees right now. We
Speaker 4: got some oaks and maples and Chinese elms, and pistache bule, cypers,
Speaker 4: magnolia and red buds and some more.
Speaker 5: So.
Speaker 3: One plant that's of interest actually is a Chinese elm.
Speaker 2: They can be, they could be.
Speaker 3: What I like about the Chinese elm is number one.
Speaker 3: It does very well here.
Speaker 2: They thrive here.
Speaker 4: And you want to plant it in a situation where
Speaker 4: it's got plenty of room to grow and they get
Speaker 4: actually pretty good size. There's several good examples here in
Speaker 4: town that you can look at and they do very
Speaker 4: well anyway, and.
Speaker 3: Trying to remember the name of that place with you
Speaker 3: you can see it, but the names, yeah, it's the
Speaker 3: retirement home over there on a camelot.
Speaker 4: As you go into Colonial there's a beautiful example of
Speaker 4: one right there that's the Chinese home. And they make
Speaker 4: really good street trees because they're very, very tolerant of
Speaker 4: all kinds of conditions. And we're doing a landscape right
Speaker 4: now where the customer has one in his front yard,
Speaker 4: and we're doing the beds close to the house and
Speaker 4: there's a lot of Chinese home that's in there. So
Speaker 4: they do a very good job of exploiting the area
Speaker 4: for resources. So and with that in mind, they make
Speaker 4: excellent trees and are a highly variable climate. You seem
Speaker 4: to just like a troop would go through the drought
Speaker 4: real well, yeah, wet and wet pray is real well.
Speaker 4: And the cold and even the heat, they do just fine,
Speaker 4: very tolerant. And one thing I like about this plant
Speaker 4: is in the fall, the leaves are small and they're
Speaker 4: easy to clean up, not like these big oak leaves
Speaker 4: or you get the sycamore leaves the giant that you
Speaker 4: can stack them, you know, like plates in the.
Speaker 3: Closet.
Speaker 4: But anyway, it's a very small leaf and they decompose
Speaker 4: pretty quickly, so they're been good for that too. The
Speaker 4: bark on them it's kind of interesting too. It looks
Speaker 4: a bit like army camouflage, as when it's younger, it's
Speaker 4: kind of smooth, but over time it develops this interesting
Speaker 4: bark pattern on it. Also so it's a very versatile,
Speaker 4: easy to grill plant. Makes a great street tree, and
Speaker 4: because it tolerates the conditions, good shade tree. I don't
Speaker 4: know if i'd put it near a swimming pool maybe
Speaker 4: because right in peak season they might drop some but
Speaker 4: they will drop some seeds.
Speaker 2: So it just depends.
Speaker 3: It just depends.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it depends on how good your filter is. There's
Speaker 4: a list of trees that I wouldn't use around the pool.
Speaker 4: That's kind of one of them. Really great myrtles are
Speaker 4: another one.
Speaker 3: Keith. They kid don't look at the pool. No, just
Speaker 3: won't work.
Speaker 2: Not a good thing.
Speaker 4: Probably the better thing around the pool will be a pistache.
Speaker 4: They have a very deep rid system and they tend
Speaker 4: to cling onto everything and during the pool season when
Speaker 4: it's over, they just kind.
Speaker 3: Of drop their leaves. But after pool season, after pool season. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so anyway, you might consider the Chinese own. There's a
Speaker 3: medium sized tree. It's not a huge thing, like.
Speaker 4: Up to forty Depending on the growing conditions too, they
Speaker 4: can have some factor in how it growth, and they
Speaker 4: do well in the worst of soils. If they make
Speaker 4: good shade trees, they do very well, and most everybody's
Speaker 4: are so also as it grows, you want to trim
Speaker 4: it up a little bit, just so the light can
Speaker 4: get down to the grass, because it will the shade
Speaker 4: of it will create a bald spot as it will
Speaker 4: there's a lot of trees and be a ugly surf.
Speaker 3: It's dirt, you know, So keep it trimmed up.
Speaker 4: And when it say trim it up, you stand at
Speaker 4: the trunk of the tree and do a sixty degree angle,
Speaker 4: and that would be the amount of light that bermutographs,
Speaker 4: the minimal amount of light it needs. I have it
Speaker 4: in my front yard a maple tree and a pistache tree,
Speaker 4: and between the two it's rather shady, but I keep
Speaker 4: them grass and very tall, and the permutographs although it's
Speaker 4: kind of thin, and.
Speaker 3: With me, it's still there there from the street it
Speaker 3: looks okay, yeah, all you care about turbopel. Yeah, but
Speaker 3: it's it's drawing in the shade and doing pretty well.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's take a quick break and we'll be back.
Speaker 1: I gave you the wrong time earlier, but we'll be
Speaker 1: back after this two minute, forty second time out.
Speaker 12: Shortly after Charles Lindberg's transatlantic flight to Europe, the dule
Speaker 12: Pineapple Company sponsored a race from San Francisco to Honolu
Speaker 12: Lulu in nineteen twenty seven. Lindberg refused to fly in it,
Speaker 12: noting he couldn't miss the continent of Europe, but he's
Speaker 12: sure as heck could miss Hawaii. Frank Phillips saw the
Speaker 12: race as a great opportunity to advertise his new Phillips
Speaker 12: Aviation fuel. Frank found his pilot, a Hollywood stunt pilot
Speaker 12: by the name of Arthur Goebels, and named his plane
Speaker 12: the Woolarock in honor of the ranch. Eight planes took
Speaker 12: off from San Francisco on August sixteenth, nineteen twenty seven,
Speaker 12: and only two planes finished the race. The flight took
Speaker 12: over twenty six hours and the winner was the Woolarock.
Speaker 12: Charles Lindbergh described it as the greatest event in air history.
Speaker 12: For the next year, that plane barnstormed the country advertising
Speaker 12: Philip's fuel, and finally returned to Woollarock. Mister Phillips instructed
Speaker 12: his staff to build a stone hanger for the airplane,
Speaker 12: which they did, and he stored the plane there. As
Speaker 12: he collected more and more art and artifacts, he stored
Speaker 12: a lot of it in that hangar until he finally
Speaker 12: had to enlarge it. Today, you know that airplane is
Speaker 12: the first room of the museum as you walk out
Speaker 12: of the dome room. Next time you visit, remember what
Speaker 12: that room's initial purpose was back in nineteen twenty eight.
Speaker 12: That same airplane hangs proudly today in the museum at Wollarock,
Speaker 12: where magic still happens every day. Welcome home to Wollarock.

Speaker 1: And welcome back to the Green Country Gardener Program with
Speaker 1: Larry Glass.
Speaker 2: You're expert, Larry. What's on the agenda?
Speaker 4: Probably a lot of people warning, yeh yeah, that they're
Speaker 4: wondering about pruning.
Speaker 3: What do I do? When do I prune? And that
Speaker 3: really depends on the species. Now, some plants, like the dogwood,
Speaker 3: you don't want.
Speaker 4: To prune it now, but craip myrtle as you can,
Speaker 4: they're not going to really wake up for a while.
Speaker 4: So when pruiting or crape myrtle, some people do what
Speaker 4: they call CP murder. And what I like to do
Speaker 4: is if you want a good full bloom on it
Speaker 4: and from top to the bottom. You stagger the cuts.
Speaker 4: You don't just whack it straight.
Speaker 3: Across the top.
Speaker 4: You cut some of them loath, some of them high,
Speaker 4: and that way you'll get a good stratification of blooms.
Speaker 3: So that's one thing you might consider doing.
Speaker 4: Another thing, look at your crape myrtle too, and see
Speaker 4: if you've had crate myrtle scale. Crate myrtle scale is
Speaker 4: a real bad problem with crapes, and they do it
Speaker 4: will negatively affect the plant to the point where it
Speaker 4: just kind of draws all the life out of it
Speaker 4: and kills it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they can't happen.
Speaker 4: I've seen people with dead crape myrtles and they say, yeah, scale,
Speaker 4: Well I didn't know.
Speaker 3: Well, they're really hard to see. They're very small, little insect.
Speaker 4: And if by product of the of the scale insect
Speaker 4: is honeydew, that's what it's called. That's what I do
Speaker 4: at home all the time, honey that exactly. But anyway,
Speaker 4: honeydew is a sweet substance that they exude, and it
Speaker 4: in doing so, when it comes out of the insect
Speaker 4: and lands on the stem, if you will, it moves
Speaker 4: around a little bit and then molds grows on it,
Speaker 4: and the stems.
Speaker 3: Of the crape myrtle are characteristically black in color.
Speaker 4: As opposed to the normal gray or even even a
Speaker 4: light brown color on the crape myrtle. And that's the
Speaker 4: sign that you have a scale on it. Also right now,
Speaker 4: there's not a whole lot you can do about the scale. However,
Speaker 4: comes spring as the time before they leave out, it's
Speaker 4: time to put down amidiculprid, which is a systemic insecticide,
Speaker 4: and you want to put it down as the tree
Speaker 4: begins to grow early in the spring or late in
Speaker 4: the spring, depending on the weather. And that then it
Speaker 4: draws the insect site up and it kills the insect
Speaker 4: front within it's very shape.
Speaker 3: To use it, mixed it up in a five gallon
Speaker 3: bucket and pour it on the ground. But if you
Speaker 3: do it right now at this point in time, it
Speaker 3: might not do too much good.
Speaker 4: It does last about a year in the plant, but
Speaker 4: the and that simply is not drawing up the stuff
Speaker 4: the stuff anyway for it to grow. So that's why
Speaker 4: we want to do it in the spring, so the
Speaker 4: plant can draw it up and be part of the
Speaker 4: sap of the tree and the insect gobbles it up
Speaker 4: and then it stops brain function in the insect. It's
Speaker 4: a nicotinoid type insecticide, and it's systemic in other words,
Speaker 4: that the molecule is small enough to go into the
Speaker 4: plant and be absorbed and taken care of that way.
Speaker 4: So so you do want to trim the crack myrtles
Speaker 4: up pretty much all winter along and be good time
Speaker 4: for that.
Speaker 3: But observe it and see how it looks. And some
Speaker 3: of the bigger branches, the big klobby branches, are all
Speaker 3: dried out, and crack them my and just cut them
Speaker 3: out too, And it wouldn't hurt it to cut it
Speaker 3: back rather significantly and they usually grow back real nicely too.
Speaker 4: So anyway, so pruning the crape myrtles is one thing
Speaker 4: you can do right now boxwood, just a little bit
Speaker 4: of trimming right now.
Speaker 3: You don't want to spurrow some growth.
Speaker 4: It does get warm now here, and golly as a nursery,
Speaker 4: we've got a lot of stuff going on, a lot
Speaker 4: of points set us and Christmas gifts and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: The wind times are clanging around every time you open
Speaker 3: the door, so especially when the wind blows. So anyway
Speaker 3: you come by the nursery and check it out. We've
Speaker 3: got a great selection of house plants that are easy
Speaker 3: to grow, easy to maintain, and set up an appointment
Speaker 3: for me to come out look at you already. If
Speaker 3: you got any problems, I can look at it and
Speaker 3: give you some ideas. Anyway, tom is time to keep
Speaker 3: that shovel sharp. We will see you next week.
