Glad you're here. I hope you got a 9 00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:57.359 cup of coffee and at least one eye open. I've 10 00:00:57.399 --> 00:00:59.039 been working on coffee for a little while now I 11 00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:03.840 think I got both eyes open. Hopefully we'll find out 12 00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:06.480 here as I start to talk whether it can make 13 00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:10.239 sense or not. You know, we got a lot of 14 00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:12.560 rain over these past few days, and I say we, 15 00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:17.239 meaning the whole listening area. Pretty much start rained a 16 00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:19.519 lot down in the Houston area early on, and then 17 00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:21.280 it kind of moved up north a little bit. Some 18 00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:24.120 pretty good storms come through, so we've got a good soaking, 19 00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:26.879 which is a good thing. We don't like to have 20 00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:29.840 to sit inside and look outside and rain. We rather 21 00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:32.599 be outside gardening, but anyway, we know we need it. 22 00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:38.319 So I was looking at some areas of the landscape 23 00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:41.040 that aren't draining as well as i'd like them too, 24 00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:43.200 and I'm gonna have to put in some subsurface drainage 25 00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:45.799 just to get that water out of that area. For 26 00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:47.879 a couple of reasons. Number one, plant roots don't like 27 00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:50.599 to sit in the soggy, wet conditions. They just don't. 28 00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:55.519 There are plants that can take that. Certainly, ball cypress 29 00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:58.239 can take that lives in swamps for crying out out. 30 00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:01.439 Most plants can't. There are some that can. So what 31 00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:03.159 do you do when you got an area like that? Well, 32 00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:06.560 one thing is you just plant it to things that 33 00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:07.280 want to be there. 34 00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:07.760 You know. 35 00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:11.360 Button bush is a big native bush that attracts butterflies. 36 00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:15.240 Got some very unique little round blooms that look sort 37 00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:19.000 of like you know after a dandelion, flowers that stalk 38 00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:21.280 coming up that's kind of round, and then the seeds 39 00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:24.039 go flying away. It's sort of but the flowers sort 40 00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:27.400 of look like that, they're round, and they attract butterflies 41 00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:31.479 that can put up with wet conditions. Louisiana iris, especially 42 00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:34.120 in a very very bright shade area, does very well 43 00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:36.520 in wet conditions. And there are other plants that can 44 00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:38.240 do that. Can as can put up with that, and 45 00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:41.919 on and on, but most plants won't get drainage, and 46 00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:45.520 so then if you're not gonna plant something that wants 47 00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:47.400 to be in a wet area. In other words, when 48 00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:50.680 life gives you lemons, make lemonade. That kind of approach. Well, 49 00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:53.719 the next step is why is it wet there? And 50 00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:55.800 I know you're thinking because it rains skipt No, I'm 51 00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:58.560 talking about why is that area staying so wet for 52 00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:02.159 so long? Maybe a down spout of the house is 53 00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:05.280 dumping extra water there, and that could be rerouted to 54 00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:08.039 another area, so we still get rain, but we're not 55 00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:11.199 getting all the thousands of gallons off the roof also 56 00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:15.400 dumping into that area. So that's another option that you 57 00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:18.000 can do. And then finally there's subsurface drainage. They call 58 00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:21.639 those French strains. Basically what it is, it's a pipe 59 00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:25.719 underground with holes in it put into a bed of gravel. 60 00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:28.560 So as the water goes to that area, it just 61 00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:32.039 goes into the pipe and it moves downhill to a 62 00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:34.639 lower area to drain out. If you don't have a 63 00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:40.360 downhill a drainage installing place, if you will, they can 64 00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:44.000 come in and they can put up a little sort 65 00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.120 of little pit there with a sump pump in it. 66 00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:48.919 And when it hits a certain level of water in there, 67 00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:50.919 it just pumps it out. So now you're sending it 68 00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:54.199 out even uphill a little bit off to another area 69 00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:55.919 where it can drain out. So any of those are 70 00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:58.120 a couple of options that you can do. By the way, 71 00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:01.520 Pierce Scapes does that kind of work. They're excellent at 72 00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:06.039 doing that and they will pretty much do anything that 73 00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:08.479 needs to be done in the landscape, you know, fixing, irrigation, 74 00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:12.800 installing lighting, I just mentioned the drainage, of course, doing 75 00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:16.480 beautiful custom landscape installation. They know how to do it all. 76 00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:20.439 They are our preferred landscaper here on Garden Line, been 77 00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:23.920 around since nineteen eighty eight and they're your one stop shop. 78 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:25.720 So I don't care. You need a rock border, you 79 00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:28.040 want a hardescape, a walkway, they can do it all. 80 00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:30.639 They can also do quarterly maintenance, which by the way, 81 00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:32.240 is a very nice thing to have them come in 82 00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:34.720 and do. They sprish up the beds, they you know, 83 00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:37.319 add some more malts into them, they get any weeds 84 00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:39.319 out that might be there. They're doing a little trimming 85 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:41.600 that might need to be done. And as you go 86 00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:44.279 through the seasons, as many as many times as you 87 00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:46.920 and your contract. When I agree with them that to 88 00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:49.399 put new color in, they can do that. I mean 89 00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:51.519 they do four color changes a year. If you want 90 00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:54.720 to go that route Piercecapes, all you need to do 91 00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:58.439 is go to the website Piercescapes dot com, p E 92 00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:02.399 A RCEE Pierce Pierce Scapes dot com if you want 93 00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:04.240 to give them a call two eight one three seven 94 00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:07.519 oh fifty sixty two eight one three seven oh five 95 00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:11.319 zero six zero. But anyway, I've got that area in 96 00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:15.360 the landscape I need to to address, and so having 97 00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:19.040 a professional come in is helpful. I know, we got 98 00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:22.519 some do it yourselfers out there that if you really 99 00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:26.279 really know what you're doing and do it right, that's fine. Otherwise, uh, 100 00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:28.800 it doesn't drain, it doesn't drain well. And you need 101 00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:31.240 to have sighted that area so that you've got just 102 00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:35.560 the right amount of drop per ten or one hundred 103 00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:38.879 feet you know down the way, so about per one 104 00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:41.160 hundred linear feet it needs to drop a certain amount 105 00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:42.839 of place. You need to put it where the water 106 00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:44.920 can get into the pipe properly, and on and on 107 00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:47.759 and so it just I think it's better just to 108 00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:50.920 hire somebody that knows what they're doing to do it. 109 00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:54.920 If you've not trade sweet green fertilizer from night fish, 110 00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:58.279 you ought to. Sweet green is first of all, it's 111 00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:02.040 smells sweet, and it's base on a sugar type based 112 00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:06.920 carbon chains, which makes beneficial microbes very happy, especial especially 113 00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:12.079 beneficial bacteria. And they've done their research and homework there 114 00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:16.240 at Nitrofoss when they created this. It reacts with water 115 00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:20.240 and it aids not only does it dissolve away and 116 00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:22.600 go into the soil, but it is really a good 117 00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:27.920 amendment revitalizing this in the sense of increasing those microbe populations. 118 00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:30.720 Now it's got one of the highest analyzes of an 119 00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:34.079 organic plant food when it comes to nitrogen, like eleven 120 00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:37.399 percent nitrogen and smells really good. As I say all 121 00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:40.120 the time I'm talking about sweet green, you can get 122 00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:42.839 it at places like an enchanted forest down in the 123 00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:45.879 Richmond Rosenberg area, but the Ace Hardware at Single Ranch 124 00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:48.639 on Mason Road, or perhaps you're up in the woodlands 125 00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:51.279 at all Spas Ace.

It's spring. 158 00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:37.720 This is it. 159 00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:40.440 I mean, if there is one drop of garden blood 160 00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:42.679 in you, this will be a time when you know 161 00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:45.200 it's like, hey, look at that green stuff. I think 162 00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:48.080 I'll spurush up the flower beds and do something like that. 163 00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:50.919 All right, you get the idea. 164 00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:51.799 Well. 165 00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:58.679 Super turf. Super Turf from nitrofoss is the silver bag 166 00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:01.960 that feeds for four months. That's what you need to remember. 167 00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:06.480 Silver bag four months. It is part of our summertime 168 00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:11.960 fertilization schedule. The fertilization scheduled for summer is designed with 169 00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:15.519 slow release products that will just you do them now 170 00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:18.639 and you're done at this. Plus returning grass plippings because 171 00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:21.840 they decompose and release nutrients too, carries you all the 172 00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:23.559 way into fall. Really, I mean you can, you can 173 00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:26.440 fertilize more if you want, but I'm saying just as 174 00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:30.759 a basic program, this is an excellent long term product 175 00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:34.559 that gradually releases those nutrients and it works really really well. 176 00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:38.399 By releasing them gradually, you cut down on mowing. You know, 177 00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:40.879 you put a fast release fertilizer down, you put too 178 00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:43.240 much of it especially, and that grass takes off growing 179 00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:45.440 like crazy. But it comes at the expense of a 180 00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:49.720 root system development. The grass actually gets top heavy, if 181 00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:52.320 you will, lots of top, not as much bottom. And 182 00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:54.960 we need that root system in order to take up 183 00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:58.559 water nutrients during the summer heat.

All right, Well, you're listening to 190 00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:17.759 garden Line. I'm your host, Skip Richter and the phone 191 00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:20.679 number seven one three two one two K t R H. 192 00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:25.639 Let's head out to Wilson in Riverside Terrace. Hello Wilson, 193 00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:26.840 Welcome to garden Line. 194 00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:32.080 If I'm not in Riverside anymore, I'm up here in Burlson. 195 00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:34.440 Now, Oh, Okay, Burleson County. 196 00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:38.879 Yeah yeah, yeah, west of College Station. 197 00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:39.320 Anyway. 198 00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:41.039 I listen to the guy over there on KM you 199 00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:45.720 on Jerseys, Uh, okay, I know what I know that 200 00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:47.320 other guy used to do that show. 201 00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:51.720 I got you what's good stuff for getting rid of 202 00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:54.279 these pill bugs? I'm out here on two acres of 203 00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:56.480 land in this house built in the seventies. Then, uh 204 00:10:57.320 --> 00:10:59.200 that manage to get in the house and the garage 205 00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:01.080 all the time. What's good were getting rid of them? 206 00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:05.480 Yeah? You know, having a number one exterminators have access 207 00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:08.639 to stuff that is more persistent, and they can come 208 00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:11.679 out and do a treatment of the entrances, the thresholds 209 00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:13.720 and things, or you can do that. It needs to 210 00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:16.879 be a product that's going to be persistent, that's designed 211 00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:20.519 for treating, you know, in the home, especially the threshold 212 00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:23.320 around the outside pill bugs. Actually you know, just from 213 00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:26.480 an ecological standpoint, they're a beneficial insect and that they 214 00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:29.799 decompose organic materials. You get out in the garden with 215 00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:32.320 strawberries and you don't like them because they decompose your 216 00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:36.240 strawberries by eating the berries, and they have some other 217 00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:39.480 things like that. But just doing a treatment like that 218 00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:42.120 of some sort would be the way to get rid 219 00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:44.879 of them. If you're mostly concerned about them coming in 220 00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:47.759 the house, then I would just mainly treat those thresholds 221 00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:53.000 and brick and something that contains by fenthren b I 222 00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:57.519 f e N t h r I n is something 223 00:11:57.559 --> 00:12:01.679 you can get with counter do household treatment sprays. But 224 00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:04.480 mainly you're you're not, you know, blasting the whole floor 225 00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:06.360 of the house. You're you're you're stopping them from coming 226 00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:09.519 where they're entering in the house and on the sides 227 00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:12.480 of your foundation, you know, they're wherever they're going to 228 00:12:12.519 --> 00:12:14.720 come up and get in. That that's primarily what you 229 00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:15.200 need to do. 230 00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:18.360 Pikes, sir, I appreciate it, all right. 231 00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:20.720 All right, well thanks for the call up there in 232 00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:24.240 Burlas and Kenny, he take care you do. 233 00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:27.360 There. 234 00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:30.000 We go ahead to find the button. All right, Well, 235 00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:32.080 you're listening to Garden Line. I'm your host, Skip Richter. 236 00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:34.480 We're here to help you have a bountiful garden and 237 00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:38.000 a beautiful landscape. That's what we're trying to do here. 238 00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:40.600 That's what I would like to see happen. At least 239 00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:45.320 that makes sense. All right? Well, Uh, I wanted to 240 00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:50.279 talk about some products that know some plant food has 241 00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:53.399 been putting out for a good while. Uh, color Star 242 00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:56.759 is I would say, just like a national leader almost 243 00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:01.159 and when it comes to color fertilizer for color beds 244 00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:03.440 now and you can grow any plant with the color 245 00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:07.399 Star but I'm just saying it's focused on those flowering plants, annuals, 246 00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:11.720 perennial shrubs, trees, and other things too. It has fast 247 00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:15.440 acting effects and it has organic nutrients sources as well 248 00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:17.759 that help enrich that soil it's going to feed for 249 00:13:17.799 --> 00:13:19.919 about three to four months. Now, there's a version of 250 00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:23.919 it called color Star Plus that includes a systemic fungicide. Now, 251 00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:27.679 if you wanted to do a preventative for plants that 252 00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:31.039 are more prone toward fungal issues, well, the color Star 253 00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:35.519 Plus would already have in it that systemic to help 254 00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:39.679 plants against those type of disease problems. Color Star is 255 00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:43.919 extremely popular all over taxes. In fact, the Dean and 256 00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:47.240 Nelson's they get, oh gosh, I don't know, shipments all 257 00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:50.080 over the country. Really, people that try it out and 258 00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:51.679 had one just the other day he was talking about 259 00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:53.799 the somebody try it out a sample and they call 260 00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:55.399 and they go, I need more of that. They ordered 261 00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:58.039 the shipment of it. You know, once people try it, 262 00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:00.159 they find out it works and they use it. It's 263 00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:03.000 one of the there's a number of plant foods actually, 264 00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:05.519 the Nelson's had that are in the little jars with 265 00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:08.440 the screw top lid, and they're for specific things. They 266 00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:11.600 got one for hibiscus and flowering tropicals, which hey, we're 267 00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:16.039 in that season too. It's called nutristar Hibiscus and flowering tropicals. 268 00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:18.440 Go check those out. There's about a dozen places around 269 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:22.000 town where you can refill the Nelson jars of various 270 00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:24.600 the primary types of products that come in the jars. 271 00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:27.200 Just like you're getting peanuts in the grocery store, you know, 272 00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:29.519 you pull a little handle and fill the bag. That's 273 00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:32.360 how you do your fertilizer from Nelson's at about a 274 00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:35.360 dozen places around town. It's less expensive to do it 275 00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:38.960 that way, but it also avoids throwing more plastic away 276 00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:39.960 into the environment. 277 00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:41.279 We already know we got. 278 00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:44.399 Enough of that. Where you're listening to garden Line, I 279 00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:47.360 was talking about a minute ago some drainage areas that 280 00:14:47.399 --> 00:14:50.159 I'm going to have to deal with and getting those right. 281 00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:56.159 I'm bed by bed revamping the whole backyard. The backyard 282 00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:59.679 has been needing some major rework since we moved into 283 00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:03.120 the high House, and we just got through planning some 284 00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:08.360 gingers in one bed, and I have a goal to 285 00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:13.559 plant as many fragrant plants as I can around the 286 00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:16.600 back patio area because I want to sit there, especially 287 00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:19.759 on summer evenings, and enjoy that fragrance. And there are 288 00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:22.440 so many good fragrant plants. We'll talk about a few 289 00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:24.159 of those as we go through. But in this bed 290 00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:28.200 I planted some of the Headicium, which is the genus 291 00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:34.440 genus of butterfly ginger. The white butterfly ginger is heavenly 292 00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:40.120 in its sense, like guardenias. And when our let's see 293 00:15:40.200 --> 00:15:43.919 a bit of a third child was born, I took 294 00:15:44.279 --> 00:15:48.000 a stem of that into the hospital room after the birth, 295 00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:51.320 and nurses were literally coming down the hall following the 296 00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:54.200 scint going. What is that smelt? They could smell it 297 00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:54.919 out in the hallway. 298 00:15:55.159 --> 00:15:55.399 It was. 299 00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:59.879 That's how fragrant white butterfly ginger is. It's awesome. Another 300 00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:04.000 plant that we put in is Brigmancia called Angel's trumpet. 301 00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:06.799 They're so beautiful, very tropical. They die of the ground. 302 00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:09.440 You need to mulch over them to protect the base 303 00:16:09.480 --> 00:16:12.679 so it re sprouts up again the next spring. Brigmancia 304 00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:17.480 has these tall, long, tubular flowers. I mean they're how 305 00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:21.320 roughly about eight ten inches long. They vary though some 306 00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:25.600 are even longer than that, but they emit a very 307 00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:29.240 nice fragrance at the end of the day. They're moth pollinated. 308 00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:32.519 I guess that typically is plants at bloom and had 309 00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:34.639 the fragrance late in the day and in the evenings. 310 00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:39.279 That typically is a sign they're probably bringing some moths in. Anyway. 311 00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:44.200 Brignancia angels trumpet, wonderful plant and beautiful to see that 312 00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:47.919 little structure. It's almost like a little miniature tree, and 313 00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:51.000 it has these pendant hanging down. That's what I'd call it. 314 00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:54.399 Angel's trumpet says if trumpets hanging down from heaven kind 315 00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:57.000 of thing, that's the idea. And we've got some others 316 00:16:57.080 --> 00:16:59.559 going and maybe I'll talk about those as we go 317 00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:06.240 through are mourning here, But anyway, it really really makes 318 00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:09.799 sense to take care of the soil first, to get 319 00:17:09.880 --> 00:17:13.759 everything right so that when you go ahead and plant something, 320 00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:16.640 you know that you are going to have success with it. 321 00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:20.079 That's kind of what we're aiming for, is success, right. 322 00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:24.279 Nobody buys plants to waste time and money. They buy 323 00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:27.480 plants to enjoy, and that's why it's so important to 324 00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:29.920 get the soil right and to get the plants that 325 00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:33.119 want to grow there. And then I guess I could 326 00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:35.799 keep going in then, but another end then would be 327 00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:38.400 and to make sure they're where they get the amount 328 00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:42.240 of sunlight that they want. Angels, trumpets light light. They 329 00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:45.880 need light, but especially if they're in a container, it's 330 00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:49.680 hard to keep them from welting because they need constantly 331 00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:53.160 moist soil to do well. And if they have a good, 332 00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:55.720 extensive root system and a little bit of shade, it's 333 00:17:55.799 --> 00:17:57.799 easy for them to do that. You don't have to 334 00:17:57.839 --> 00:17:59.839 pamper them along. But I had one and a half 335 00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:03.279 whisky barrel a couple of years ago that I just 336 00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:06.200 was having trouble getting out too enough to keep watering it, 337 00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:07.920 because I'd keep forgetting it for a day or two 338 00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:11.880 and then it'd be it'd be in trouble in Channi Gardens. 339 00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:14.240 That in Richmond is on the Katie Fullshire side of 340 00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:18.480 Richmond FM thirty or three fifty nine, three fifty nine, 341 00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:21.480 so you had north out of Richmond and in Chenny 342 00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:24.920 Gardens is one of those places you go and you 343 00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:26.839 want to take your friends and you want to go 344 00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:28.559 again too, by the way, so I would say never 345 00:18:28.640 --> 00:18:34.039 visited alone, take some people with you. That it's just 346 00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:39.200 an expanse of beauty and cool things from really nice pottery, 347 00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:43.440 beautiful gift shops. But plants in every category you can imagine, 348 00:18:43.640 --> 00:18:46.359 and they they evolved with the seasons. You know, at 349 00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:49.759 certain times there's certain vegetables being planted and they'll have them, 350 00:18:50.440 --> 00:18:54.440 the herbs, the flowers, the perennials. I love salvia's and boyd, 351 00:18:54.519 --> 00:18:57.200 they are a good salvia collection out there, Roses and 352 00:18:57.279 --> 00:19:00.799 so on. In Channy Gardens is cool. And another thing 353 00:19:01.240 --> 00:19:04.079 is the knowledge of the team. The team is helpful, 354 00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:07.640 they're enthusiastic as they come. You can bring them photos, 355 00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:10.960 you can bring them samples for assistance with that, and 356 00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:13.440 they will help you. They do a great job of 357 00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:18.200 combinant combining plants and hanging baskets and other planters out there. 358 00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:20.319 And maybe you want to do a little that yourself. 359 00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:22.119 We'll just go ahead and tell them here's what I'd 360 00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:25.039 like to do. They will tell you how to do it. 361 00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:29.599 That is really cool. I think that's an extra special thing. 362 00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:36.279 Let's see here. Oh, I know, I was the other day. 363 00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:36.920 What was I? 364 00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:37.200 Oh? 365 00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:40.440 I was talking to somebody and they were discussing fruit 366 00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:43.400 trees and the fact that their apple did not produce 367 00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:47.400 any fruit. And I was talking to them about pollination. 368 00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:51.559 You know, with some fruit trees you need a second variety, 369 00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:55.920 a different variety to pollinate. With some they pollinate themselves. So, 370 00:19:56.079 --> 00:20:03.079 for example, peaches pollinate themselves. Berries mostly pollinate themselves, but 371 00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:06.880 are much much better if you have a second variety 372 00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:09.680 for pollination, you have bigger berries and more of them. 373 00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:12.319 We can explain that later if you want, but just 374 00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:13.960 trust me on that when you have bigger berries and 375 00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:16.200 more of them. With blueberries and have a second variety. 376 00:20:17.279 --> 00:20:23.079 Plums mostly require a second variety. But methyle for example, 377 00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:25.440 would be an example of one that can pollinate itself. 378 00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:29.480 Pairs mostly require a second variety due to that. Absolutely 379 00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:33.160 need two varieties or so for apples. But it just 380 00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:35.079 depends on the fruit that you're trying to grow. But 381 00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:36.960 look into that first. Because you don't want to have 382 00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:39.559 a lonely Hearts club going on out there in the orchard. 383 00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:42.400 Make sure and get in a good garden center. We'll 384 00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:44.759 tell you that they'll guide you. Another reason to go 385 00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:47.880 to a good independent garden center that knows what they're 386 00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:49.960 talking about. I'm going to take a little break when 387 00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:54.039 we come back. We'll go to Lauren in Spring. All right, 388 00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:58.480 little Brad Paisley there, welcome back to Guardenline. Good to 389 00:20:58.519 --> 00:21:01.200 have you with us.

All 412 00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:15.440 writing you are listening to garden Line our number seven 413 00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:17.960 one three two one two kat r H. We're gonna 414 00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:21.960 go to Lauren in Spring, Texas. Lauren, welcome to garden Line. 415 00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:23.680 Yeah, good morning. 416 00:22:24.519 --> 00:22:25.079 I've got. 417 00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:29.680 A patch that kind of sprung up over the winter, 418 00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:33.240 a good section that from what I can tell is 419 00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:35.759 that I looked it up online and said pola annua 420 00:22:36.519 --> 00:22:42.000 and it's got a little thin white grassy leat uh 421 00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:47.119 and then has a little white seed on top. I 422 00:22:47.160 --> 00:22:49.680 don't know how whyatt got there, but it's a good section, 423 00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:52.000 you know. All of a sudden, it's just there. And 424 00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:54.799 so I'm trying to figure out what to do with it. 425 00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:58.519 And then uh, if if there's something that can kill it, 426 00:22:58.599 --> 00:23:00.720 but then what do I how do I restore that 427 00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:02.640 area with my Saint Argus? 428 00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:06.559 All right, well, first of all, it's dying now, it's 429 00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:09.240 going to be gone here for too long. The problem 430 00:23:09.400 --> 00:23:12.759 is that is loaded with seeds, and that is that 431 00:23:13.039 --> 00:23:15.559 grass is one of the banes of golf courses and 432 00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:20.680 other turf managers because it's so prolific, and also some 433 00:23:20.880 --> 00:23:24.319 varieties of it now have become resistant to certain pesticides 434 00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:30.359 and so certain herbicide. Excuse me. The way to what 435 00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:33.359 you can do now is to the extent that you 436 00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:35.319 can get seeds out of there, try to do it. 437 00:23:35.960 --> 00:23:37.759 I do hand pulling, because I have it here and 438 00:23:37.799 --> 00:23:40.119 there all through the yard, and little tiny little single 439 00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:42.519 plants here and there, So hand pulling is not that 440 00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:47.119 impractical for me if if you've got a large patch, 441 00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:49.440 maybe setting a lawnmower down low and trying to get 442 00:23:49.480 --> 00:23:53.000 those seed heads out, but that's not going to be 443 00:23:53.079 --> 00:23:55.799 super effective with POA, just because it can set seeds 444 00:23:55.839 --> 00:24:00.200 down so low and response. Then the next thing to 445 00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:05.200 notice is the pre emergent herbicide application in fall. That's 446 00:24:05.480 --> 00:24:08.480 very important for POA. And so if you go to 447 00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:12.240 my schedule gardening with skip dot com, the lawn Pest 448 00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:15.240 Disease and Weed Management schedule has a fall pre emergent 449 00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:18.519 application on it, and that one is the one that 450 00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:21.599 prevents you from being back here next year in the 451 00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:25.319 same situation. These seeds, the plants your see and now 452 00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:29.160 germinated in October November last year, and so getting a 453 00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:32.160 pre emergent down ahead of that is very important. 454 00:24:35.400 --> 00:24:39.400 Oh okay, so but for right now, and just pull 455 00:24:39.480 --> 00:24:40.119 the seeds and. 456 00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:43.799 Just get the seeds as best you can, you know, 457 00:24:43.880 --> 00:24:46.039 if it's practical to do it. Sounds like you've got 458 00:24:46.079 --> 00:24:49.880 a pretty solid infestation, and so trying to get seeds 459 00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:53.240 out may not be super helpful, but be ready to 460 00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:56.440 do the pre emergent and just know that some pre emergence, 461 00:24:57.079 --> 00:25:02.200 depending on the genetic characteristics of the poet at your house. 462 00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:05.599 It may be resistant to some pre emergence, but let's 463 00:25:05.640 --> 00:25:09.200 hope not. And unless at the edge of a golf course. 464 00:25:09.839 --> 00:25:12.880 What about any post emergents like something? 465 00:25:13.079 --> 00:25:16.440 Well, the problem with post yeah, yeah, like if you 466 00:25:16.519 --> 00:25:18.759 were to spray in the cool season or in early 467 00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:22.920 spring a post emergent, you would kill your your grass too, 468 00:25:23.720 --> 00:25:27.680 because grass. Post emergent kills grass and didn't care whether 469 00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:30.400 it's a weed or a lawn. So that's the problem 470 00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:37.839 with post emergence on poa. Okay, St Augustine, I do yeah, okay, 471 00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:42.400 so so all right to fill it in though, like 472 00:25:42.519 --> 00:25:46.079 once it's died, died out or whatever. And so now 473 00:25:46.119 --> 00:25:47.519 I've got some damaged lawn. 474 00:25:47.599 --> 00:25:50.079 There is there anything I mean, I don't think that 475 00:25:50.160 --> 00:25:53.200 there is, but is there anything like uh, Saint Augustine 476 00:25:53.279 --> 00:25:55.640 seed that I could kind of help fill in there? 477 00:25:57.039 --> 00:25:57.160 Now? 478 00:25:57.440 --> 00:26:01.039 Just just getting some side pieces and or if you 479 00:26:01.119 --> 00:26:03.839 want to make them go a little further then you can. 480 00:26:04.200 --> 00:26:08.240 You can cut them into three or four strips and 481 00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:11.640 plant those strips about a foot apart to fill in 482 00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:15.319 an area, to spend less on grass more more on 483 00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:20.799 labor and time that you can break those up. But 484 00:26:20.880 --> 00:26:22.799 those are the two options. Really, if you have an 485 00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:26.640 area it's more than one foot between Saint Augustine, that's healthy, 486 00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:30.799 then I would fill it in with something because it 487 00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:33.480 will fill in a foot over the course as we 488 00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:37.200 get into summer and stuff. Pretty well, okay, all right, hey, 489 00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:39.519 I gotta I gotta run, but good luck with that. 490 00:26:39.759 --> 00:26:42.680 I appreciate. I appreciate you giving us a call. You 491 00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:47.119 take care, sure, take care already. Yeah, there we go. Yeah, 492 00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:48.160 this is the case. 493 00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:48.319 Hey. 494 00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:50.200 For those of you up in the in the Greater 495 00:26:50.359 --> 00:26:52.680 Willis area, I bet you never heard that term. Greater 496 00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:57.519 Willis well, Growers Outlet in Willis is the place you 497 00:26:57.640 --> 00:26:59.599 need to check out if you haven't already been there. 498 00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:04.240 That's the website and the name as well. Growers Outlet 499 00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:08.519 in Willis. Go check it out. They list their plants 500 00:27:08.559 --> 00:27:10.599 on there, they list their prices on there, which is 501 00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:13.960 really unusual for a garden center to do. But they 502 00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:16.039 have all kinds of plants and what do you want, 503 00:27:16.200 --> 00:27:19.359 you know, vegetables and herbs and flowers and hanging baskets 504 00:27:19.400 --> 00:27:22.400 and fruit trees and shrubs and just on and on, 505 00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:25.279 and then the products to go with them. Products from 506 00:27:25.319 --> 00:27:29.200 Microlife and Nitrofoss and Medina. For example, Growers Outlet and 507 00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:31.640 Willis are on seventy five south of Willis, just a 508 00:27:31.680 --> 00:27:34.240 few minutes from Interstate forty five. So all of you 509 00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:37.920 up there in the April Sound, for example, by the 510 00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:40.920 lake down in the Woodlands, even it's not up too 511 00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:43.680 far of a drive to get up there to Growers Outlet, 512 00:27:44.319 --> 00:27:48.480 and then certainly up in the metropolis is around Willis Lake, 513 00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:53.119 New Caney. Excuse me, Nukunie's other direction from that, but anyway, 514 00:27:54.559 --> 00:27:57.039 check it out head on out there. I've been impressed 515 00:27:57.119 --> 00:27:59.640 every time I've done that. You can purchase for pickup 516 00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:01.880 online if you want to do that, and they keep 517 00:28:01.960 --> 00:28:05.319 those things updated online. So bookmark the Growers Outlet in 518 00:28:05.440 --> 00:28:08.480 Willis dot com and when you go in, check out 519 00:28:08.519 --> 00:28:10.440 the little gift shop too and some of the nice 520 00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:13.839 cool things that they have inside. We're going to go 521 00:28:13.920 --> 00:28:17.480 out to West Chase now and talk to Patrick. Hello, Patrick, 522 00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:18.599 welcome to gard. 523 00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:22.400 Good morning, good morning, Well thank you skip listen Ben 524 00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:24.400 listening to you since you came on, and really enjoy 525 00:28:24.440 --> 00:28:27.000 your show. But I've got an issue here with a 526 00:28:27.160 --> 00:28:31.359 grape vine. It's a Zinfandels grape vine. Probably have no 527 00:28:31.480 --> 00:28:34.119 damn business growing it in West Chase to begin with, 528 00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:38.839 But it's thriving. It just it's a gorgeous plant. But 529 00:28:38.960 --> 00:28:41.960 I have a leaf infestation of a worm. It's a 530 00:28:42.079 --> 00:28:46.200 yellow and black striped worm. At maturity there may be 531 00:28:46.759 --> 00:28:50.480 half an inch long, and they will defoliate this thing 532 00:28:50.599 --> 00:28:53.039 if I don't get ahead of them. Yesterday I took 533 00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:56.839 every leaf off that I could find any trace of them. 534 00:28:56.960 --> 00:29:01.119 But but there go be back. What can I how 535 00:29:01.160 --> 00:29:02.000 can I get rid of those? 536 00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:07.960 Well, here's the thing. It could be. It could be 537 00:29:08.079 --> 00:29:11.640 more than one thing. You may well have something called 538 00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:15.200 a grape leaf skeletonizer, but there's some others. I would 539 00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:18.440 get a product containing spin no sid s p I 540 00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:23.559 n O S A D spin no sid and apply 541 00:29:23.759 --> 00:29:27.400 that that. When you apply it, anything that eats that 542 00:29:27.559 --> 00:29:29.400 leaf is going to get killed. But you need to 543 00:29:29.480 --> 00:29:32.400 do it early. When the caterpillars are very very young, 544 00:29:32.559 --> 00:29:34.039 it's easy to kill them with stuff. 545 00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:34.559 You know. 546 00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:37.240 As things get older, well, number one, they've already done 547 00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:40.720 the damage to the leaf and they're a little harder 548 00:29:40.759 --> 00:29:42.920 to kill. But find something with spino sid.

All right, we'll be right back. 565 00:30:26.519 --> 00:30:29.119 Welcome back to Guardline. Hey, if you'd like to give 566 00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:32.119 us call seven one three two one two E t 567 00:30:32.519 --> 00:30:34.640 r H. Seven one three two one two k t 568 00:30:34.839 --> 00:30:39.920 r H. I was getting out some microlife hummates plus 569 00:30:40.039 --> 00:30:40.799 that I have on hand. 570 00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:41.519 Uh. 571 00:30:42.920 --> 00:30:47.240 Basically, that product is going to contain, uh think of 572 00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:50.519 it this way as con concentrated compost in a bag. 573 00:30:50.680 --> 00:30:54.799 It's going to contain a lot of decomposed organic matter 574 00:30:54.960 --> 00:30:59.440 concentrated into the final decomposition one of the final decomposition 575 00:30:59.559 --> 00:31:04.039 stages of organic matter. Why does that happen? Why does nature? 576 00:31:04.599 --> 00:31:06.920 Why is nature set up to take what was once 577 00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:10.559 alive and turn it into essentially humous by the time 578 00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:13.880 it gets through. The reason is it's good. It's good 579 00:31:13.920 --> 00:31:17.160 for the soil. It helps microbial activity, it helps sol 580 00:31:17.200 --> 00:31:19.759 structure in a lot of things. And when you fertilize 581 00:31:20.079 --> 00:31:22.240 number one, you're going to grab the microlife six y 582 00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:24.720 two four. That's the green bag. It's a three one 583 00:31:24.759 --> 00:31:28.279 to two ratio fertilizer. The green bag put it out, 584 00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:31.680 and then the hemates plus is just icing on the cake. 585 00:31:31.880 --> 00:31:33.920 You're not putting it on to make the grass green. 586 00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:36.319 Six y two four does that. The green bag makes 587 00:31:36.359 --> 00:31:40.559 it green, good color for the bag, and the purple 588 00:31:40.640 --> 00:31:43.279 bag the heum mats plus. That one is going to 589 00:31:43.359 --> 00:31:46.279 give you the benefits to the soil over time that 590 00:31:46.359 --> 00:31:49.359 you want. And so I would do it into as 591 00:31:49.400 --> 00:31:52.200 many times a year as you want. Doesn't have to 592 00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:54.079 be done when you fertilize, but you already got the 593 00:31:54.119 --> 00:31:56.160 spreader out and your heading across the yard. Just do 594 00:31:56.319 --> 00:31:58.480 your six y two four green bag and then come 595 00:31:58.559 --> 00:32:01.480 back with the purple and finish up on that. You're 596 00:32:01.480 --> 00:32:04.839 going to find more information on microlife at Microlifefertilizer dot com. 597 00:32:04.920 --> 00:32:08.000 They've got a great website with lots of information on 598 00:32:08.119 --> 00:32:13.200 their granular and their liquid products as well. You know, 599 00:32:13.279 --> 00:32:16.400 while we're talking about, you know, benefiting the soil and 600 00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:20.480 the benefits of those those humates, Nature's Way Resources was 601 00:32:20.920 --> 00:32:24.279 set up for that very purpose that the name is 602 00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:27.839 Nature's Way. What is the way nature takes care of plants? 603 00:32:27.880 --> 00:32:31.119 Think about that? The Redwood forests in California, the Great 604 00:32:31.400 --> 00:32:35.559 Plains of America, when the settlers came across in wagons 605 00:32:35.640 --> 00:32:38.599 and grat wild grass deep as the horse's belly, right, 606 00:32:39.519 --> 00:32:41.319 Who took it? Who fertilized that? Who took care of 607 00:32:41.400 --> 00:32:46.319 that soil? Nature did the system? Did organic materials die, 608 00:32:46.400 --> 00:32:49.359 They decompose, They feed the soil, The micropes go nuts, 609 00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:52.720 the soil gets better. The nutrients are there, the structure 610 00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:57.119 is there, the internal drainage is there. From a tropical 611 00:32:57.240 --> 00:33:00.519 rainforest that hasn't been touched to the Grads Lines of 612 00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:04.119 America to your yard, the same system is in place, 613 00:33:04.400 --> 00:33:08.960 and Nature's Way has designed products for that and whether 614 00:33:09.079 --> 00:33:12.599 you're growing vegetables or whether you're growing roses and other bloomers. 615 00:33:12.680 --> 00:33:15.960 If you've got acidic plants, acid living plants like blueberries 616 00:33:16.039 --> 00:33:20.000 and azaleas and camellias and gardenias and even roses like 617 00:33:20.039 --> 00:33:23.799 some acidic they've got all those products, plus the mulches 618 00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:25.599 that go on top of the soil, which, by the way, 619 00:33:25.759 --> 00:33:28.839 nature does too. Basically, Nature's Way dis stilled all their 620 00:33:28.920 --> 00:33:33.559 ideas from the design of nature. That's that's a silly 621 00:33:33.599 --> 00:33:36.599 way to put it, but it's true that they follow 622 00:33:36.759 --> 00:33:39.759 the principles of nature to help you have success at home. 623 00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:43.319 Brown stuff before green stuff, and Nature's Way gets you 624 00:33:43.400 --> 00:33:44.799 all set up on the bronzeff. By the way, the 625 00:33:44.839 --> 00:33:48.119 website is, they got a new revamped website, Nature's Way 626 00:33:48.200 --> 00:33:50.720 Resources dot com. It's really good. Go check it out 627 00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:53.799 Nature's Way Resources dot Com. You can give them a call. 628 00:33:53.920 --> 00:33:57.680 Nine three six seven excuse me, two seven three twelve 629 00:33:57.799 --> 00:34:03.240 hundred nine three six twelve hundred.

It's happened. It's happened to 642 00:34:38.440 --> 00:34:40.440 me a lot. You got. These plants are getting bigger, 643 00:34:40.440 --> 00:34:42.960 they're blooming, and the blooms are just falling off. And 644 00:34:43.719 --> 00:34:46.440 I am not a tomy teo expert. I'll tell you that. 645 00:34:46.679 --> 00:34:48.760 But someone had told me one time that they do 646 00:34:48.960 --> 00:34:53.239 benefit from some pollination. I'm saying that is something I heard, 647 00:34:53.400 --> 00:34:57.480 not something that I have determined is absolutely true. But 648 00:34:57.679 --> 00:35:01.840 I when I plant differently more than one. Uh, they 649 00:35:01.920 --> 00:35:04.840 seem to do better in cross pollinating, as long as 650 00:35:04.840 --> 00:35:08.519 they're not genetically identical or whatever? Uh is that is 651 00:35:08.559 --> 00:35:11.519 that chicken griping about something back there or what they 652 00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:12.599 bragging about? 653 00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:12.920 An egg? 654 00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:16.119 Foo? 655 00:35:16.840 --> 00:35:20.079 Yeah, they show me eggs.

And the dogs 742 00:40:06.440 --> 00:40:15.920 out working outside this week with my two Golden Retrievers 743 00:40:15.960 --> 00:40:20.440 who love to go outside with me. And these dogs 744 00:40:20.800 --> 00:40:24.840 are not gardening dogs. Well they think they are, but 745 00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:31.559 they're not. You know that American Kennel Club AKC, they 746 00:40:31.599 --> 00:40:33.760 have groups of dogs. There's a sporting group, there's a 747 00:40:33.880 --> 00:40:37.719 hunting group, there's you know, so on like that. There's 748 00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:39.960 not a gardening group in the AKAC. And they need 749 00:40:40.079 --> 00:40:43.199 to have a gardening group. And someone who does dog training, 750 00:40:43.360 --> 00:40:45.400 you know, makes them sit and stay and obey and 751 00:40:45.519 --> 00:40:48.599 roll over and do tricks and all the amazing things 752 00:40:48.679 --> 00:40:51.760 dogs can do needs to train dogs to garden. And 753 00:40:52.039 --> 00:40:55.280 I so have any out there looking for a new 754 00:40:55.400 --> 00:40:57.920 line of work, maybe that will be a teach a 755 00:40:58.000 --> 00:41:01.360 dog to garden. Ellie are female Golden retriever. When she 756 00:41:01.519 --> 00:41:04.679 was little, I went out one time. I was planting 757 00:41:04.760 --> 00:41:06.800 plants in a back bed, little four inch pots. I 758 00:41:06.920 --> 00:41:09.840 was sitting out in a bed and I got you know, 759 00:41:10.480 --> 00:41:12.760 worked for a while and then got out and went inside. 760 00:41:12.800 --> 00:41:15.639 Gud drink water whatever, and came back out and Ellie 761 00:41:15.719 --> 00:41:18.280 was sitting on the back in the back, right by 762 00:41:18.360 --> 00:41:21.119 the back door mat, and there in front of her, 763 00:41:21.719 --> 00:41:24.360 with the little dirt all over her face was a 764 00:41:24.400 --> 00:41:27.079 four inch pot that she had retrieved. She's a golden 765 00:41:27.119 --> 00:41:30.360 retriever and brought back to me. So what I suggest is, 766 00:41:30.440 --> 00:41:34.599 let's train dogs to retrieve weeds and to not retrieve plants, 767 00:41:34.760 --> 00:41:36.480 and to not dig in flower best. Do you think 768 00:41:36.519 --> 00:41:38.639 we can do that? Is that possible? Is that asking 769 00:41:38.760 --> 00:41:42.239 too much? I would like that if that would be 770 00:41:42.360 --> 00:41:46.079 the case in a vegetable garden. My dogs, I don't 771 00:41:46.119 --> 00:41:48.719 know why it is. There's pathways where you walk, not 772 00:41:49.000 --> 00:41:50.960 my dogs. They hop up in the bed and they 773 00:41:50.960 --> 00:41:52.760 walk down the bed. That's how they get from one 774 00:41:52.840 --> 00:41:55.800 place to another. We're working on that. But anyway, we 775 00:41:55.920 --> 00:41:59.159 love those dogs. But oh my gosh, there's a new 776 00:41:59.239 --> 00:42:03.480 line of work for some buddy. I talk about the 777 00:42:03.519 --> 00:42:05.440 importance of soil all the time, and I guess I 778 00:42:05.760 --> 00:42:08.079 will continue to be a broken record on that because 779 00:42:08.119 --> 00:42:11.039 it is the single most important thing you do, because 780 00:42:11.039 --> 00:42:13.760 it's what we do. At the beginning of any kind 781 00:42:13.800 --> 00:42:16.199 of planting, you're gonna put in a lawn, you're gonna 782 00:42:16.239 --> 00:42:18.199 put in flower beds, you're gonna put into a flower 783 00:42:19.039 --> 00:42:21.440 or a vegetable garden rather or a herb garden or 784 00:42:21.880 --> 00:42:25.559 rose bushes, whatever you're gonna do. It starts with the soil. 785 00:42:25.760 --> 00:42:28.679 And ciinum Altch down south of Houston is the go 786 00:42:28.880 --> 00:42:31.599 to place for as I put it, the brown stuff 787 00:42:31.719 --> 00:42:35.320 that comes before the green stuff. Saw first, then plants. 788 00:42:35.840 --> 00:42:37.480 Now you can do them both. You can get them 789 00:42:37.519 --> 00:42:39.559 both at the same time. You get your green stuff 790 00:42:39.599 --> 00:42:41.400 and your brown stuff at the same time, bring them home, 791 00:42:41.440 --> 00:42:46.880 but start with the brown stuff. Cinamult has quality blends 792 00:42:47.039 --> 00:42:51.000 like a rose mixes and vegetable and herb mixes and 793 00:42:51.119 --> 00:42:55.519 all kinds of composts, and they just have quality stuff. 794 00:42:55.679 --> 00:42:58.519 That's what they do there. And then to top it 795 00:42:58.639 --> 00:43:01.079 off and literally that's what we do. The mulches that 796 00:43:01.199 --> 00:43:03.760 go on top of the ground. That keeps the soul moist. 797 00:43:03.920 --> 00:43:08.000 It prevents erosion, it prevents crusting in summer, it cuts 798 00:43:08.079 --> 00:43:11.760 down on heat. There is a humongous difference between how 799 00:43:11.840 --> 00:43:14.639 hot it is a couple of inches deep where roots 800 00:43:14.639 --> 00:43:18.199 are with and without malts. I mean, it's dramatic. I 801 00:43:18.239 --> 00:43:20.079 don't even know how roots live in the top three 802 00:43:20.119 --> 00:43:22.599 inches of soil. With the summer blazing summer heat we 803 00:43:22.719 --> 00:43:25.440 have around here. Cana Malts will get you the malts 804 00:43:25.480 --> 00:43:28.760 to fix that. They also carry the fertilizers of all 805 00:43:28.880 --> 00:43:30.920 types that you hear me talk about. Have you ever 806 00:43:31.000 --> 00:43:34.360 heard me talk about Microlife or Nelson's turf Star line 807 00:43:34.519 --> 00:43:37.800 or their their plant food jars or Medina products or 808 00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:41.800 products from nitrofoss or airloom soils or azamite. All of 809 00:43:41.880 --> 00:43:45.199 that is at Ciena Maltz. They are on FM five 810 00:43:45.320 --> 00:43:47.159 twenty one. It's kind of close to where six and 811 00:43:47.239 --> 00:43:49.679 two eighty eight come together. Here's what you need to 812 00:43:49.760 --> 00:43:52.719 do Ciena Maltz dot com. Write that down, go to 813 00:43:52.840 --> 00:43:55.559 that website if you are within twenty miles up and 814 00:43:55.639 --> 00:43:58.840 down there. They will deliver for a small fee, but 815 00:43:59.239 --> 00:44:01.679 you can just go get it yourself. But when you 816 00:44:02.079 --> 00:44:06.679 let Sienimals provides you what you need, you are seventy 817 00:44:06.719 --> 00:44:09.159 five percent on your way to success. And I mean that, 818 00:44:09.599 --> 00:44:12.960 I mean that literally. Let me let me put it 819 00:44:13.039 --> 00:44:15.519 this way. I'm taking too much time on this, but 820 00:44:15.760 --> 00:44:20.079 it's important. When you put a seed or a plant 821 00:44:20.159 --> 00:44:22.559 in the ground and you step up and walk away 822 00:44:22.719 --> 00:44:26.280 you're seventy five percent of the way to success or failure, 823 00:44:26.519 --> 00:44:29.360 maybe more. And you're thinking, yeah, but it's got to 824 00:44:29.400 --> 00:44:32.199 be watered, and it's got to be fertilized, And yes, 825 00:44:32.320 --> 00:44:33.719 I know that, you got to do pesca. 826 00:44:33.840 --> 00:44:34.199 I know that. 827 00:44:35.440 --> 00:44:38.440 But by the time you stand up and walk away, 828 00:44:39.079 --> 00:44:41.440 you've either prepared the soil or you haven't. And so 829 00:44:41.599 --> 00:44:45.000 that root system is either going to strive, thrive, or 830 00:44:45.079 --> 00:44:48.800 struggle one or the other. It has the amount of 831 00:44:48.880 --> 00:44:51.280 sun at once, or it doesn't because you've chosen a 832 00:44:51.320 --> 00:44:55.280 spot that soil is raised up so that it excess 833 00:44:55.400 --> 00:44:59.000 drains away or it's boggy and it doesn't, and the 834 00:44:59.199 --> 00:45:02.400 plant hasn't a p about that. The nutrient levels are 835 00:45:02.559 --> 00:45:04.960 there or they're not in the soil. Do you put 836 00:45:04.960 --> 00:45:08.920 the fertilizers and things in to help that foundation that 837 00:45:09.159 --> 00:45:11.960 bank account have what the plant's going to need to grow. 838 00:45:12.280 --> 00:45:15.760 You've chosen the plant varieties and species that are either 839 00:45:15.800 --> 00:45:18.920 going to thrive in your yard and our location here 840 00:45:19.440 --> 00:45:22.000 are they're not. So that's what I mean by seventy 841 00:45:22.039 --> 00:45:24.199 five percent of the way to success, and soil is 842 00:45:24.239 --> 00:45:28.039 a huge part of that, all right, that Dante, I'm 843 00:45:28.039 --> 00:45:30.480 going to take that little clip and probably post it 844 00:45:30.559 --> 00:45:33.679 to Facebook this week that that is something that needs 845 00:45:33.719 --> 00:45:36.559 to be said and said and said very important. It's 846 00:45:36.559 --> 00:45:40.119 easy to get excited about the flowers and the vegetables 847 00:45:40.159 --> 00:45:43.559 and all of that, but it starts with a soil. 848 00:45:44.559 --> 00:45:47.199 You either have done it or you have it. Let's 849 00:45:47.239 --> 00:45:49.719 head up to Tomball. We're going to talk to Beth. Hello, Beth, 850 00:45:49.880 --> 00:45:50.840 welcome to Guardenline. 851 00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:52.679 Hik skip. 852 00:45:52.800 --> 00:45:53.960 How are you this morning. 853 00:45:55.239 --> 00:45:58.440 I'm doing well. Thank you well. 854 00:45:58.559 --> 00:46:02.079 I sent you an email with a picture of one 855 00:46:02.119 --> 00:46:06.320 of my apple trees that I'm concerned about and I 856 00:46:06.480 --> 00:46:07.599 was hoping you could help me. 857 00:46:08.920 --> 00:46:09.559 And so the. 858 00:46:11.400 --> 00:46:13.920 This particular one, if you look kind of down on 859 00:46:14.039 --> 00:46:16.840 the base of it, the bark is having an issue. 860 00:46:17.639 --> 00:46:20.519 And then all my other apple trees, so I've planted 861 00:46:20.679 --> 00:46:23.719 five at the same time, and they're almost a year 862 00:46:23.800 --> 00:46:28.400 in the ground and all of them are leaping out 863 00:46:28.519 --> 00:46:31.920 except for this one. Now they're different varieties. There's this 864 00:46:32.119 --> 00:46:35.159 one is a Red Delicious, but I have two Red Delicious, 865 00:46:35.400 --> 00:46:40.360 and the other one is doing fine, and all the 866 00:46:40.400 --> 00:46:44.800 other ones they're doing okay, but this one, I'm worried. 867 00:46:44.840 --> 00:46:46.719 I don't know what's going on with the bark and 868 00:46:46.840 --> 00:46:49.320 then also you see the growth coming out from the 869 00:46:49.400 --> 00:46:50.079 bottom of it. 870 00:46:51.519 --> 00:46:54.280 Yes, so anyway, what are you doing? 871 00:46:54.320 --> 00:46:56.639 All right? Well here, well, here's what I think. First 872 00:46:56.639 --> 00:46:58.840 of all, you've done a great job with the mulch 873 00:46:58.960 --> 00:47:01.480 and with putting the cajor. You must have deer around there, 874 00:47:02.559 --> 00:47:06.400 but it looks the setup's all good. The problem is 875 00:47:06.519 --> 00:47:11.280 apples come in different chilling requirements, meaning they have to 876 00:47:11.400 --> 00:47:15.480 have a certain amount of temperature around forty five degrees 877 00:47:15.760 --> 00:47:19.000 in order for the buds to wake up in the spring, 878 00:47:19.599 --> 00:47:21.920 and if they don't, they don't leave out, and then 879 00:47:22.039 --> 00:47:24.679 in time you'll get a leaf bud break here and 880 00:47:24.719 --> 00:47:27.760 a bud break there. But it looks just like half 881 00:47:27.840 --> 00:47:31.960 awake and it Red Delicious does not have a long 882 00:47:32.079 --> 00:47:35.000 term future in our area. Sorry to have to tell 883 00:47:35.000 --> 00:47:38.400 you that, but that one requires way too many hours 884 00:47:38.519 --> 00:47:43.159 of chilling to thrive in our area. Now there are 885 00:47:43.280 --> 00:47:46.519 variations on Red Delicious, but you're going to need to 886 00:47:46.840 --> 00:47:49.599 I think that's the problem with that plant. I do 887 00:47:49.800 --> 00:47:53.840 see that I don't know how much water it's getting. 888 00:47:54.079 --> 00:47:58.199 There's some being applied in that picture, but you want 889 00:47:58.239 --> 00:48:02.079 to keep the soul moist, but not overwater. That's also important, 890 00:48:02.119 --> 00:48:04.199 But I think the number one thing you're seeing is 891 00:48:04.360 --> 00:48:07.400 chilling hours. I can't see the damage at the bottom 892 00:48:07.719 --> 00:48:10.599 in the photo. It's just too far away. But it 893 00:48:10.719 --> 00:48:14.159 may be that the root stock has sprouted, and maybe 894 00:48:14.239 --> 00:48:16.599 there was damage to the trunk and the rootstock has 895 00:48:16.639 --> 00:48:19.199 sprouted and that's the growth you see coming out at 896 00:48:19.239 --> 00:48:22.519 the bottom. I don't know. I can't tell that. The 897 00:48:22.559 --> 00:48:26.440 biggest issues you could, Yeah. 898 00:48:26.239 --> 00:48:28.360 I was hoping you could zoom in on it. When 899 00:48:28.440 --> 00:48:30.320 I zoom in on it on my phone, I can 900 00:48:30.480 --> 00:48:33.039 see it pretty clear. And I'll tell you what I 901 00:48:33.119 --> 00:48:36.800 was concerned about, too, is you know some kind of 902 00:48:36.880 --> 00:48:40.519 bug is getting into it. That that either either the 903 00:48:41.039 --> 00:48:43.800 water is or some kind of bug was getting into it. 904 00:48:44.039 --> 00:48:51.280 But all right, so I'm gonna have to I'm gonna 905 00:48:51.280 --> 00:48:53.880 have to go back, but I can't zoom in. It's 906 00:48:53.920 --> 00:48:56.159 too pixelated. But if you want to go up closer, 907 00:48:56.199 --> 00:48:58.159 if you can get a camera in there closer, I'll 908 00:48:58.199 --> 00:49:00.679 be happy to take another look. Just we send a photo. 909 00:49:00.760 --> 00:49:04.239 But the bottom line is it's red delicious and you 910 00:49:04.360 --> 00:49:08.320 just need to replace it with something else. Sorry to 911 00:49:08.400 --> 00:49:11.119 have to run, but I gotta go. Doris in Austin County. 912 00:49:11.159 --> 00:49:14.480 You'll be first up when I come back. All right, 913 00:49:14.519 --> 00:49:15.679 and welcome back to the garden line. 914 00:49:16.559 --> 00:49:17.559 Good to have you with us. 915 00:49:17.760 --> 00:49:19.920 Looking forward to visiting with you about the questions that 916 00:49:20.000 --> 00:49:22.440 you have. Give me a call seven one three two 917 00:49:22.480 --> 00:49:28.199 one two KTRH and we will visit about it. I 918 00:49:29.559 --> 00:49:32.079 am in the process of plant mentioned the beds I 919 00:49:32.159 --> 00:49:34.840 was putting together and the planting. Some of the planting 920 00:49:34.880 --> 00:49:36.639 plants I have at the house. One of them in 921 00:49:36.719 --> 00:49:39.760 the back was fragrant plants. Love fragrant plants. I got 922 00:49:39.840 --> 00:49:43.199 some more going in soon. Maybe we'll continue that conversation 923 00:49:43.400 --> 00:49:46.800 here as time allows this morning, at some point. But 924 00:49:46.920 --> 00:49:50.360 another part of my planting scheme is planting for the birds. 925 00:49:50.440 --> 00:49:53.880 Planting things that brings birds in, not not just the 926 00:49:53.960 --> 00:49:56.440 seeds and things of the plants, but like with hummingbirds, 927 00:49:56.519 --> 00:49:59.239 what are flowers that they love? They love salvias, by 928 00:49:59.280 --> 00:50:03.519 the way, I loves salvias, and they love anything with 929 00:50:03.760 --> 00:50:06.719 long tubular red flowers, but not just that, like some 930 00:50:06.840 --> 00:50:11.079 of the Salvia garanitica that have the purple dark dark 931 00:50:11.159 --> 00:50:13.840 blue purple flowers, they love those too, And that's not 932 00:50:13.960 --> 00:50:17.320 a red flower. And you can plant things that are 933 00:50:17.400 --> 00:50:20.119 shade loving that will attract them. You can plant things 934 00:50:20.159 --> 00:50:22.599 that are some loving that will attract them, but I 935 00:50:22.679 --> 00:50:24.920 love those things. We have our hummingbird feeders out that 936 00:50:25.039 --> 00:50:29.079 we have from our wild birds, unlimited feeders, but plants. 937 00:50:29.239 --> 00:50:32.599 And that Salvia leucantha is a fall blooming, late summer 938 00:50:32.639 --> 00:50:35.159 and fall blueing sage. I just love it. There's a 939 00:50:35.239 --> 00:50:39.039 variety called Santa Barbara that's a little bit smaller compact. 940 00:50:39.280 --> 00:50:43.280 You can get Salvia leucantha in an all. I don't 941 00:50:43.320 --> 00:50:46.079 know the color. I'm color challenged, but it's not purple. 942 00:50:46.440 --> 00:50:50.039 But it's at fusha and I don't know. You guys 943 00:50:50.119 --> 00:50:53.360 tell me anyway. It beautiful spikes. Oh, by the way, 944 00:50:53.360 --> 00:50:57.559 I saw that Arburgate has that Santa Barbara and other salvius, 945 00:50:57.599 --> 00:50:59.679 and in fact they have one of the best selections 946 00:50:59.760 --> 00:51:02.599 of you're gonna find anywhere. Arbigate is up in Tomball 947 00:51:02.639 --> 00:51:05.199 for those of you who don't know. It's just west 948 00:51:05.239 --> 00:51:09.440 of Tombol on twenty nine to twenty, just about a 949 00:51:09.519 --> 00:51:12.320 mile and a half west of two forty nine. The 950 00:51:12.400 --> 00:51:15.679 main north south through Tomball turn west on twenty nine 951 00:51:15.679 --> 00:51:17.559 to twenty about a mile and a half on the left, 952 00:51:17.639 --> 00:51:21.280 while you're there. You are gonna number one. Go park 953 00:51:21.320 --> 00:51:23.880 in the back. Go off Trishel Road. It's a loop 954 00:51:23.880 --> 00:51:27.199 that goes behind Urburgate. Park back there and have fun 955 00:51:27.280 --> 00:51:30.639 with plants. But remember always the brown stuff. So before 956 00:51:30.639 --> 00:51:33.280 you go home, grab their three bags. The organic food 957 00:51:33.400 --> 00:51:38.119 Complete that is an organic fertilizer that also includes calcium, 958 00:51:38.440 --> 00:51:42.079 the Organic Soil Complete, and the Organic Compost Complete. And 959 00:51:42.239 --> 00:51:44.519 with those three pretty much team thing you want to grow, 960 00:51:44.840 --> 00:51:48.079 you can grow it with success. Now, if you're doing 961 00:51:48.159 --> 00:51:50.679 a major bed renovation or something you need more than 962 00:51:50.760 --> 00:51:54.360 just a few bags, Arbigate can deliver in bulk those 963 00:51:55.239 --> 00:51:59.000 soil complete and the compost Complete by the Qbkyard. So 964 00:51:59.199 --> 00:52:01.519 just talk to them about that. But go check out 965 00:52:01.519 --> 00:52:05.239 their salvias and uh and and all the plants that 966 00:52:05.360 --> 00:52:08.480 they have that will attract not only pollinators but also 967 00:52:09.239 --> 00:52:14.719 hummingbirds to your garden. Let's head now up to Austin 968 00:52:14.840 --> 00:52:19.639 County and we're going to talk to Doris. Hello, Doris, Hello, 969 00:52:19.920 --> 00:52:22.920 how are you? I'm well? Thank you. 970 00:52:25.440 --> 00:52:30.119 I have a question about my sun Sunshine lagustrums. They 971 00:52:30.199 --> 00:52:34.239 have some type of pipe, white powdery stuff on their 972 00:52:34.360 --> 00:52:40.000 trunks and stands. How do I get rid of it, Uh, that. 973 00:52:40.159 --> 00:52:44.559 Is probably powdery mildew. Powdery mildew likes mile temperatures and 974 00:52:44.800 --> 00:52:49.280 high humidity, and we have a lot high humidity here period, 975 00:52:49.400 --> 00:52:52.840 but especially you know these with the rains and things 976 00:52:52.880 --> 00:52:56.519 that we often get, humidity levels go up even more. 977 00:52:56.880 --> 00:52:59.800 And then when you add that in the condition of 978 00:52:59.840 --> 00:53:03.360 a plant that can get powdery mildew like many lagustriums can. 979 00:53:03.880 --> 00:53:07.400 That's what you're dealing with. So you can sway to 980 00:53:07.480 --> 00:53:11.039 prevent it. Spray to prevent it. On an organic option 981 00:53:11.199 --> 00:53:16.000 to prevent it would be nim oil. Nim oil spray 982 00:53:16.119 --> 00:53:19.159 to the plants. But you know, once it's on there, 983 00:53:19.360 --> 00:53:21.920 that means it's also in the leaf. So spray in 984 00:53:22.000 --> 00:53:24.679 the surface of the leaf is not It's not going 985 00:53:24.760 --> 00:53:27.280 to make the leaf turn pretty and green again, right, 986 00:53:27.440 --> 00:53:30.559 It'll just kill the powdery mildew. So we spray to 987 00:53:30.679 --> 00:53:34.360 prevent it. There are synthetic products that will prevent powdery 988 00:53:34.400 --> 00:53:38.880 mildew like beloton is one that is it moves into 989 00:53:38.960 --> 00:53:40.960 the plant and it lasts a little bit longer in 990 00:53:41.079 --> 00:53:43.679 protecting it. But either way, you've got those options. 991 00:53:45.800 --> 00:53:47.639 Okay, what was the first one you said? 992 00:53:49.719 --> 00:53:52.519 Nim oilnem oil. 993 00:53:54.400 --> 00:53:59.440 Okay, got that, and do you. 994 00:54:00.960 --> 00:54:01.119 Is it? 995 00:54:01.360 --> 00:54:04.360 Do they make a liquid rose food that you can 996 00:54:04.480 --> 00:54:05.119 just spray on. 997 00:54:08.000 --> 00:54:11.440 They make there's a lot of liquid products that you 998 00:54:11.519 --> 00:54:14.840 can apply. The folks at Medina have a number of 999 00:54:14.920 --> 00:54:18.280 different products that can be applied as a folier feed. 1000 00:54:18.960 --> 00:54:21.760 The folks at Microlife have several products that can be 1001 00:54:21.840 --> 00:54:25.719 applied as a folier feed too. The best way to 1002 00:54:25.800 --> 00:54:29.679 feed plants nutrients is through the roots. Now, some of 1003 00:54:29.760 --> 00:54:32.480 the folier products will have other things in them that 1004 00:54:32.559 --> 00:54:34.920 can be helpful for plants, for protecting the surface of 1005 00:54:34.960 --> 00:54:39.159 the leaves and things. But you know it, if you're 1006 00:54:39.199 --> 00:54:41.400 going to grow roses with success, you need to have 1007 00:54:41.719 --> 00:54:46.079 a really well prepared bed soil that has a good 1008 00:54:46.239 --> 00:54:49.760 level of nutrients. And we're constantly adding little bits more, 1009 00:54:49.880 --> 00:54:52.840 especially of the nitrogen to keep those roses doing their best. 1010 00:54:54.599 --> 00:54:57.960 All, can I ask you one more QUI. 1011 00:54:59.440 --> 00:54:59.920 Real quick? 1012 00:55:01.559 --> 00:55:10.920 I have a ivy tree. Okay, it's one of those 1013 00:55:11.000 --> 00:55:13.239 that the little I can't think of it. 1014 00:55:13.360 --> 00:55:13.719 What is it? 1015 00:55:21.159 --> 00:55:23.480 I don't know what an ivy tree is. I just 1016 00:55:23.519 --> 00:55:25.599 don't know what an ivy tree is. Good. I'm gonna 1017 00:55:25.639 --> 00:55:28.320 put you on hold and get my email and would 1018 00:55:28.360 --> 00:55:30.320 you send me a picture of it with your question, 1019 00:55:31.000 --> 00:55:33.280 i'd appreciate that if you want to hang on, if 1020 00:55:33.320 --> 00:55:35.320 you can send me a picture, I'll try to answer that. 1021 00:55:35.760 --> 00:55:39.920 We're gonna go out to Willowbrook now and talk to Steve. Hello, Steve, 1022 00:55:40.159 --> 00:55:41.039 Welcome to garden Line. 1023 00:55:41.119 --> 00:55:46.800 Hey, thanks, good morning. I've got some areas under my 1024 00:55:46.960 --> 00:55:51.960 trees where the Saint Augustine is really struggling, and I'm 1025 00:55:52.079 --> 00:55:55.679 thinking that I'm gonna have to put a groundcover in 1026 00:55:55.840 --> 00:56:00.679 place of the grass. And I saw noticed that I've 1027 00:56:00.719 --> 00:56:04.800 got some areas where something that's been identified on my 1028 00:56:04.920 --> 00:56:09.360 app as straggler daisy. Yeah, it's done, and it's doing 1029 00:56:09.559 --> 00:56:12.679 very well and it looks nice, and I'm wondering, Yeah, 1030 00:56:12.679 --> 00:56:14.599 I've never heard of it before. I was wondering if 1031 00:56:14.639 --> 00:56:16.199 that was a reasonable groundcover. 1032 00:56:17.880 --> 00:56:21.719 Yeah, it is. It'll do really well there. And I 1033 00:56:21.840 --> 00:56:25.280 know Buchanan's Native Plants and the Heights on eleven Street 1034 00:56:25.360 --> 00:56:28.480 sells it. Straggler Daisy has a little tiny yellow flowers. 1035 00:56:29.039 --> 00:56:31.199 It does well in a dry shade too. Out if 1036 00:56:31.239 --> 00:56:34.119 you go out west, you know Austin direction and hill country, 1037 00:56:34.519 --> 00:56:36.639 you'll see it used a lot out there by native 1038 00:56:36.639 --> 00:56:39.559 plant enthusiasts and just growing wild. I mean it's basically 1039 00:56:39.639 --> 00:56:43.039 a weed that makes a nice, low growing groundcover, and 1040 00:56:43.199 --> 00:56:46.400 it's tough. I guess if you put it on a 1041 00:56:46.480 --> 00:56:49.360 swamp it would die. But basically, I mean not even 1042 00:56:49.440 --> 00:56:52.480 round up kills that stuff. It is a good, low 1043 00:56:52.559 --> 00:56:56.960 growing groundcover that's native and attracts certain kinds of butterflies 1044 00:56:57.039 --> 00:56:59.840 in too, by the way, So yes, that's good choice. 1045 00:57:00.639 --> 00:57:04.639 Well good, this stuff is growing like crazy and propagating. 1046 00:57:04.719 --> 00:57:06.159 I don't know that I need to plant it. 1047 00:57:06.239 --> 00:57:09.519 I might just let it go, but okay, would like 1048 00:57:10.039 --> 00:57:12.320 a pre emergent herbicide. 1049 00:57:13.519 --> 00:57:14.000 Thwart it. 1050 00:57:14.119 --> 00:57:17.480 Do I need to avoid pre emergent herbicides while I'm 1051 00:57:17.480 --> 00:57:18.400 trying to get this to grow. 1052 00:57:19.960 --> 00:57:24.639 Well, I don't know to what percentage receding is, how 1053 00:57:24.719 --> 00:57:28.599 it spreads versus just spreading. It's a you know, it's 1054 00:57:28.679 --> 00:57:35.719 a very persistent spreader. So yeah, I don't You could 1055 00:57:35.719 --> 00:57:37.719 probably get away with that because you're gonna have a 1056 00:57:37.760 --> 00:57:41.519 lot of weeds coming up in it. So anyway, I 1057 00:57:41.760 --> 00:57:44.840 wouldn't worry a lot about the pre emergent on it. 1058 00:57:45.400 --> 00:57:47.679 But the main thing is just get it filled in. 1059 00:57:47.960 --> 00:57:50.079 You know, you want it to be nice and solid 1060 00:57:50.119 --> 00:57:52.800 and pretty and so that's why I was suggesting maybe 1061 00:57:52.880 --> 00:57:55.079 throwing a few extra plants in or doing some dig 1062 00:57:55.159 --> 00:57:58.039 and move around your area, you know, to get some 1063 00:57:58.159 --> 00:58:01.360 of your plants spread out in other areas. All right, Steve, 1064 00:58:01.599 --> 00:58:04.119 I need to run, but thank you for that calling. 1065 00:58:04.159 --> 00:58:07.639 Good luck with it. Yeah, good choice, good choice. By 1066 00:58:07.679 --> 00:58:10.719 the way, we talk about nutrients all the time and 1067 00:58:10.840 --> 00:58:15.079 fertilizing your plants, and asamite is a trace mineral supplement 1068 00:58:15.480 --> 00:58:19.559 that you use it as a way to build your 1069 00:58:19.639 --> 00:58:24.639 nutrient bank account of micronutrients that are essential for plants. Okay, 1070 00:58:25.119 --> 00:58:27.840 this isn't the fertilizer bag with the three numbers on it. 1071 00:58:28.480 --> 00:58:33.079 We still need to do that. Asamite contains minerals that 1072 00:58:33.199 --> 00:58:36.480 are not part of those three numbers on a fertilizer bag. 1073 00:58:37.000 --> 00:58:39.199 And you can apply it when you fertilize in a 1074 00:58:39.280 --> 00:58:41.920 separate application, or you can apply it any time of 1075 00:58:41.960 --> 00:58:44.920 the year. It doesn't matter. When you put an asmite down, 1076 00:58:45.119 --> 00:58:47.320 it gets watered in, you get the nutrients in the soil, 1077 00:58:48.199 --> 00:58:51.400 and that's how it works. So asumite Texas dot com 1078 00:58:51.599 --> 00:58:54.400 is the website and where do you get it? Everywhere? 1079 00:58:54.960 --> 00:58:56.840 You're going to find it at garden centers. You're going 1080 00:58:56.880 --> 00:58:58.840 to find it at Aceard Restored, You're going to find 1081 00:58:58.880 --> 00:59:02.119 it at some of our stores. Uh, just a lot 1082 00:59:02.199 --> 00:59:05.360 of different places. Southwest Fertilizer carries as might. Of course 1083 00:59:05.400 --> 00:59:08.960 they carry everything. But that's just another place that you 1084 00:59:09.079 --> 00:59:11.400 get it. And it's a good time now to go 1085 00:59:11.440 --> 00:59:14.800 ahead and get that down. We are going to head 1086 00:59:14.880 --> 00:59:20.320 now to Netherland and talk to Randy. Hello, Randy. 1087 00:59:21.639 --> 00:59:22.840 Skiff, how are you this morning? 1088 00:59:24.679 --> 00:59:27.440 Good? I should have said Neiland, shouldn't. 1089 00:59:27.079 --> 00:59:28.599 I yep, Needland. 1090 00:59:28.679 --> 00:59:29.000 That's it. 1091 00:59:29.519 --> 00:59:32.719 That's it. I've got I've got a. 1092 00:59:32.760 --> 00:59:33.559 Problem with what. 1093 00:59:35.760 --> 00:59:35.920 I have. 1094 00:59:36.119 --> 00:59:37.920 I have a little minute, and we can hold you after. 1095 00:59:38.480 --> 00:59:40.119 We can hold you after break. But I have less 1096 00:59:40.119 --> 00:59:41.639 than a minute. So let's see what we can do. 1097 00:59:41.719 --> 00:59:44.440 I just wanted to warn you white fly white flies 1098 00:59:44.519 --> 00:59:47.400 on vegetables. Had a real problem with them last year, 1099 00:59:47.559 --> 00:59:50.760 already have a problem with them this year. I've sprayed 1100 00:59:50.880 --> 00:59:57.400 for me, thrown soft Lutheran malathion and rotated through that. 1101 00:59:57.599 --> 01:00:00.719 Stuff in there a problem, Yeah, they are? 1102 01:00:01.039 --> 01:00:04.599 Is there is there a systemic that I can use 1103 01:00:04.719 --> 01:00:06.320 on vegetables. 1104 01:00:08.440 --> 01:00:12.239 For white flies? I don't know. I would hesitate to 1105 01:00:12.320 --> 01:00:17.119 do that anyway, Since you're eating the things. But off 1106 01:00:17.199 --> 01:00:19.400 top of my head, here's the thing on white flies, 1107 01:00:19.639 --> 01:00:22.920 and I got like five seconds. They the more you spray, 1108 01:00:23.199 --> 01:00:25.400 the more you kill the things that keep them in check, 1109 01:00:25.559 --> 01:00:27.760 and the worse the white flies get. So once you 1110 01:00:27.840 --> 01:00:30.440 start doing that, it just like it seems it seems 1111 01:00:30.519 --> 01:00:33.119 like they're getting worse. So I would try to back 1112 01:00:33.199 --> 01:00:34.079 off the sprays. 1113 01:00:34.400 --> 01:00:34.519 Uh. 1114 01:00:34.800 --> 01:00:37.159 And I'm gonna hold you until after break because I 1115 01:00:37.199 --> 01:00:39.800 want to continue entering this. Just one second. We'll be 1116 01:00:39.920 --> 01:00:43.119 right back, folks. All right, we're back. Welcome back to 1117 01:00:43.119 --> 01:00:46.000 the guard line. Good to have you with us. I 1118 01:00:46.400 --> 01:00:52.000 was checking my mosquito buckets before the rain we got yesterday, 1119 01:00:52.239 --> 01:00:55.079 and we're starting to get those larvae in there, which 1120 01:00:55.159 --> 01:00:57.960 is what we want. Mosquito buckets. By the way, I 1121 01:00:58.039 --> 01:01:02.480 get Pest Brothers is the survey that provides that they 1122 01:01:02.599 --> 01:01:04.719 cover the whole Houston area. Of course they do everything. 1123 01:01:04.760 --> 01:01:07.920 They don't just do mosquito buggets. But whether you're out 1124 01:01:07.960 --> 01:01:10.119 there and Katie or all the way across on the 1125 01:01:10.159 --> 01:01:12.760 east of Baytown or the Woodlands all the way down 1126 01:01:12.800 --> 01:01:16.440 to Texas City, they cover your area and they do 1127 01:01:16.639 --> 01:01:19.119 any kind of pest environment type things you need. You 1128 01:01:19.199 --> 01:01:23.000 got dealing with rats and other things. They can handle 1129 01:01:23.079 --> 01:01:26.400 that termites. Gosh, we live in termite heaven down here, 1130 01:01:26.480 --> 01:01:28.519 and there's more than one kind of termite we get 1131 01:01:29.000 --> 01:01:30.960 and you got to know what you're doing to prevent them, 1132 01:01:31.039 --> 01:01:33.079 and they can do that. They have something that lasts 1133 01:01:33.119 --> 01:01:35.480 ten years literally and it's just a little trench right 1134 01:01:35.519 --> 01:01:40.159 beside your house that they do. So it's very minimal 1135 01:01:40.559 --> 01:01:43.480 in terms of any kind of an environmental concern at all. 1136 01:01:43.519 --> 01:01:47.039 They focus on that. They know how to treat things effectively, 1137 01:01:47.159 --> 01:01:49.239 and they know how to do it in the safest manner, 1138 01:01:49.320 --> 01:01:51.960 and this new technology they're using does both of that. 1139 01:01:52.079 --> 01:01:55.199 It's really really good long term control without worries. You 1140 01:01:55.239 --> 01:01:57.119 can call them for a quote two eight one two 1141 01:01:57.199 --> 01:01:59.960 oh six forty six seventy. You can ask them about 1142 01:02:00.039 --> 01:02:02.679 those mosquito buckets too, by the way, or go to 1143 01:02:02.760 --> 01:02:10.159 the website thepestbros dot com. Thepestbros dot com. Visiting Randall 1144 01:02:10.280 --> 01:02:12.199 just the other day, we're talking about some of the 1145 01:02:12.639 --> 01:02:15.360 insect issues going on and whatnot. And I'm telling you, 1146 01:02:15.400 --> 01:02:17.800 the guys know what they're doing, and they take care 1147 01:02:17.840 --> 01:02:21.559 of you and they treat you right. Let's head now 1148 01:02:21.719 --> 01:02:25.360 to Randy in Neederland. Hey, Randy, we were in the 1149 01:02:25.440 --> 01:02:28.519 process of talking about white flies on vegetables and I 1150 01:02:28.599 --> 01:02:31.000 had to go to break before I could tell you 1151 01:02:31.159 --> 01:02:34.079 what I wanted to say next. And that is the 1152 01:02:34.159 --> 01:02:36.639 best way I think to deal with white flies is 1153 01:02:36.760 --> 01:02:41.239 to use a oil, a vegetable oil type spray spray 1154 01:02:41.280 --> 01:02:46.119 it upward from under the leaves, and do so about weekly. 1155 01:02:47.400 --> 01:02:49.760 And here's the thing. White flies lay eggs under the 1156 01:02:49.840 --> 01:02:53.079 leaf that become pupa that turn into the pupa look 1157 01:02:53.159 --> 01:02:56.000 like a little tiny almost fish scales, but real tiny. 1158 01:02:56.599 --> 01:02:59.199 In other words, they're flat kind of chartrus's looking to 1159 01:02:59.360 --> 01:03:03.360 clear and the oil, the oil smothers and kills those. 1160 01:03:03.679 --> 01:03:06.159 And it's not a poison that's going to kill all 1161 01:03:06.239 --> 01:03:11.000 the white fly enemies as easily and periodically doing that 1162 01:03:11.159 --> 01:03:13.440 to get that back under control and get the natural 1163 01:03:13.599 --> 01:03:17.679 enemies back. Otherwise it's you versus white flies, which means 1164 01:03:17.880 --> 01:03:20.440 just spray spray, spray spray, And nobody wants to do 1165 01:03:20.519 --> 01:03:22.840 that in their vegetable garden or or with their time. 1166 01:03:23.159 --> 01:03:24.719 Right. 1167 01:03:24.840 --> 01:03:27.719 Well, so you said that was a vegetable spray. 1168 01:03:29.199 --> 01:03:32.679 Well, it's a horticultural oil, is what I should have 1169 01:03:34.480 --> 01:03:38.079 I put it. But horticultural oils can be from petroleum 1170 01:03:38.119 --> 01:03:40.920 products or they can be other types of oil, but 1171 01:03:41.000 --> 01:03:43.920 they're very lightweight. They're not dorman oil. Dorm and oil 1172 01:03:43.960 --> 01:03:47.360 would burn your plants, and even horticultural oil, you don't 1173 01:03:47.360 --> 01:03:48.920 want to spray it when it's hot and the sun 1174 01:03:49.039 --> 01:03:51.320 is baking down, you know, maybe late at the end 1175 01:03:51.320 --> 01:03:53.599 of the day or early in the morning, very early 1176 01:03:53.679 --> 01:03:56.199 in the morning, and you want to spray upward to 1177 01:03:56.280 --> 01:03:58.320 get the undersides of the leaves, because that's why the 1178 01:03:58.400 --> 01:04:01.599 white where the white flies life cycle is going on 1179 01:04:01.840 --> 01:04:03.760 on the bottoms, undersides of the leaves. 1180 01:04:05.039 --> 01:04:09.760 Yes, sir, yes, sir, okay, skip, I appreciate it, thank you, yes, 1181 01:04:09.920 --> 01:04:10.440 I bet. 1182 01:04:10.320 --> 01:04:13.360 Thanks for hanging around. Appreciate appreciate you hanging around on that. 1183 01:04:13.920 --> 01:04:17.599 In Enchanted Forest down in the Richmond Rosenberg area, by 1184 01:04:17.639 --> 01:04:20.599 the way, they're on FM twenty seven fifty nine south 1185 01:04:20.679 --> 01:04:24.519 of fifty nine or I sixty nine. Now. Enchanted Forest 1186 01:04:25.000 --> 01:04:29.119 is the one stop shop for native pollinator plants, for 1187 01:04:29.239 --> 01:04:33.239 plants to attract the birds and especially especially the bees 1188 01:04:33.280 --> 01:04:36.760 and butterflies and things and the hummingbirds of course, and 1189 01:04:37.039 --> 01:04:39.199 the native plants just do such a good job of that, 1190 01:04:39.719 --> 01:04:41.840 and they have the kinds that do well. You know, 1191 01:04:42.000 --> 01:04:45.280 Salvias of various types, and one of my favorite type 1192 01:04:45.280 --> 01:04:48.360 of plants there is is Salvias lentana. Did you know 1193 01:04:48.440 --> 01:04:51.679 there are native lentana too, as well as the improved 1194 01:04:51.760 --> 01:04:54.360 types of lananna, and they have a huge range of 1195 01:04:54.440 --> 01:04:57.159 varieties and they're not just beautiful, but they're really drought 1196 01:04:57.239 --> 01:04:59.920 resilient plants. They thrive in our climate. You know, when 1197 01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:03.239 and you get a plant that is from this region 1198 01:05:03.599 --> 01:05:06.920 and it's going to do well here, well, you don't 1199 01:05:06.960 --> 01:05:09.719 have the water as much, you know, watering and fertilizing 1200 01:05:09.760 --> 01:05:12.840 and pampering and trying to keep them alive. It kind 1201 01:05:12.880 --> 01:05:15.159 of gives way. Do the plant take care of itself 1202 01:05:15.599 --> 01:05:18.000 pretty much. I mean, of course you can push it 1203 01:05:18.039 --> 01:05:21.360 along with some good care and have better results from it. 1204 01:05:21.960 --> 01:05:24.719 But in Chenna forest carries those kind of fun They 1205 01:05:24.840 --> 01:05:28.679 understand that sort of thing they do, and so when 1206 01:05:28.719 --> 01:05:31.280 you go in there, they have a greenhouse now where 1207 01:05:31.280 --> 01:05:32.880 they're growing a lot of their own stuff. And so 1208 01:05:32.960 --> 01:05:36.920 they got Salvia gara garaz another native plant lantanah rebeccia 1209 01:05:37.039 --> 01:05:40.079 cone flowers. We have wild cone flowers here in Texas 1210 01:05:40.159 --> 01:05:43.719 and native cone flowers, and they're constantly bringing new things 1211 01:05:43.760 --> 01:05:46.960 out that look good. I just want to mention tomorrow, 1212 01:05:47.679 --> 01:05:50.880 I hope there's still openings on this. But they have 1213 01:05:51.039 --> 01:05:54.559 a living wreath making take so it's what you would expect. 1214 01:05:54.679 --> 01:05:57.239 Imagine a wreath with kind of some sphagnum moss in it, 1215 01:05:57.679 --> 01:06:00.679 and you're planting plants into it, a living so you 1216 01:06:00.760 --> 01:06:02.599 get to learn how to do it, and you get 1217 01:06:02.639 --> 01:06:04.239 to take it home with you. So that's a I mean, 1218 01:06:04.239 --> 01:06:07.000 a value item when you get done learning and making 1219 01:06:07.119 --> 01:06:10.039 ones forty five dollars a person out It intended for 1220 01:06:10.199 --> 01:06:12.800 us tomorrow at noon, So go ahead and give them 1221 01:06:12.800 --> 01:06:14.960 a call makes and see if they're still openings for it. 1222 01:06:15.599 --> 01:06:17.760 But number one, you need to go out there anyway 1223 01:06:17.880 --> 01:06:20.880 to see all their pollinator plants and all the butterfly 1224 01:06:21.000 --> 01:06:24.440 attracting plants and whatnot. And I head now up to 1225 01:06:24.559 --> 01:06:27.960 Spring Branch and talk to Herda. Hello, Herda, welcome to. 1226 01:06:28.039 --> 01:06:30.960 Garden Line, Thank you, good morning. 1227 01:06:32.159 --> 01:06:33.599 My question, good morning. 1228 01:06:37.239 --> 01:06:41.719 After that awful storm and everything. But anyway, I have 1229 01:06:44.480 --> 01:06:48.039 a lot of little baby oaks in my front yard. 1230 01:06:49.559 --> 01:06:53.960 They had to take down a giant oak, but anyway, 1231 01:06:54.039 --> 01:07:00.360 they're mostly that just the native oak, some be a 1232 01:07:00.480 --> 01:07:08.079 live oaks. What is the best way to I'd like 1233 01:07:08.199 --> 01:07:12.800 to put them in like a gallon pot, no more 1234 01:07:13.000 --> 01:07:18.920 than twelve inches tall summer eight and either give them 1235 01:07:19.000 --> 01:07:22.400 the neighbors or you know, someone wants to give me 1236 01:07:22.519 --> 01:07:23.880 a dollar or two form. 1237 01:07:25.280 --> 01:07:28.840 Yeah, So here's what you do herd. You dig down 1238 01:07:29.239 --> 01:07:31.760 around the plant. You don't need to go wide. You 1239 01:07:31.840 --> 01:07:34.320 can dig the width of a gallon pot. That's what 1240 01:07:34.400 --> 01:07:37.960 you're gonna put them in. But dig down deeper because 1241 01:07:37.960 --> 01:07:40.760 they have a tap root. Seedling oaks have a tap root, 1242 01:07:41.320 --> 01:07:44.000 and so you want to go down rather than wide, 1243 01:07:44.559 --> 01:07:47.440 and just dig them up, disturb the soil as least 1244 01:07:47.519 --> 01:07:49.760 as you can. You almost need like a little sharpshooter 1245 01:07:49.880 --> 01:07:52.039 or something to get down in there. Uh, and then 1246 01:07:52.119 --> 01:07:54.480 slide them into the pot. And I would move them 1247 01:07:54.920 --> 01:07:58.280 to a bright shade location. So because they've lost roots, 1248 01:07:58.320 --> 01:08:01.360 you want the demands to be not as high as 1249 01:08:01.400 --> 01:08:03.960 they would be in full sun. Give them a few 1250 01:08:04.000 --> 01:08:06.440 weeks in that bright shade, and then get them into 1251 01:08:06.519 --> 01:08:09.440 more light after that. The best time to do that 1252 01:08:09.639 --> 01:08:13.480 is in the fall. But since they're little tiny seedlings, 1253 01:08:13.519 --> 01:08:14.719 go ahead and do a few of them now and 1254 01:08:14.800 --> 01:08:16.720 see how they hold up. Let me know how they 1255 01:08:16.840 --> 01:08:20.039 do for you over the coming months. But that'll do it. 1256 01:08:21.319 --> 01:08:24.560 All right, Thank you very much, take care well. 1257 01:08:25.119 --> 01:08:30.560 Hey, thanks for calling back. Don't be a stranger. Bye bye, 1258 01:08:31.000 --> 01:08:34.840 bye bye. Southwest Fertilizer. I was talking about them earlier. 1259 01:08:35.520 --> 01:08:38.840 They're in their seventieth year now, a business done the 1260 01:08:38.920 --> 01:08:42.800 last seventy years. In fact, thrive get better and better 1261 01:08:42.920 --> 01:08:46.079 as the years go by. Without them treating their customers 1262 01:08:46.199 --> 01:08:48.479 right and having what the customers want. You don't walk 1263 01:08:48.520 --> 01:08:50.760 into Southwest and walk out going well, I was a 1264 01:08:50.800 --> 01:08:52.800 waste of time. I couldn't find anything I was looking for. 1265 01:08:53.039 --> 01:08:57.960 It's the opposite everything you're looking for. Everything is there. 1266 01:08:58.159 --> 01:09:02.720 I mean, if they don't have it, you don't need it. Herbicides, instants, insecticides, fertilizers. 1267 01:09:03.000 --> 01:09:04.720 If you're an organic gardener and you go I don't 1268 01:09:04.800 --> 01:09:07.520 use chemicals, well yeah, you do use organic ones. But 1269 01:09:08.159 --> 01:09:15.079 they have the hugest organic selection in Houston. They widespread products, 1270 01:09:15.279 --> 01:09:16.800 lots of good things. By the way, I'm going to 1271 01:09:16.840 --> 01:09:20.720 be there today. I'll be at Southwest Fertilizer today.

We're gonna 1291 01:10:19.079 --> 01:10:22.079 jump right back in on this one. I was mentioned 1292 01:10:22.119 --> 01:10:25.159 I'll be at Southwest Fertilizer from twelve to two, and 1293 01:10:25.279 --> 01:10:27.159 I wanted to tell you a little specifically, I'm going 1294 01:10:27.239 --> 01:10:29.520 to give out some ten dollars skip bucks. What does 1295 01:10:29.600 --> 01:10:32.520 that mean?

Don't delay, go ahead 1326 01:11:59.359 --> 01:12:02.039 and get it down. We're going to go now to 1327 01:12:02.880 --> 01:12:05.680 spring or a cold spring and talk to Charles. Hey, Charles, 1328 01:12:05.760 --> 01:12:06.680 welcome to garden Line. 1329 01:12:07.720 --> 01:12:08.720 I want to skip. 1330 01:12:10.279 --> 01:12:10.600 Morning. 1331 01:12:12.199 --> 01:12:17.680 I have a few lime trees that I protected over 1332 01:12:17.760 --> 01:12:22.960 the winter, stuck them in the well house that kept 1333 01:12:23.000 --> 01:12:28.119 the light on seventy something degrees close to eighty, and 1334 01:12:28.640 --> 01:12:31.760 they decided that it was spring. So when it did 1335 01:12:31.880 --> 01:12:33.279 thaw out, I moved them outside. 1336 01:12:33.319 --> 01:12:33.720 They had. 1337 01:12:35.359 --> 01:12:40.920 Abundance of limes in blooms, and now the leaves are 1338 01:12:40.960 --> 01:12:43.640 turning yellow and the limes are falling off. 1339 01:12:47.039 --> 01:12:51.720 Well, that yellowing is not unusual. It's it's probably the 1340 01:12:51.840 --> 01:12:55.840 oldest leaves that are that are turning yellow. Or is 1341 01:12:55.920 --> 01:12:59.399 it the new growth at the end of shoots. Well, 1342 01:12:59.479 --> 01:13:04.000 it's a big leave, so okay, Yeah, that is a 1343 01:13:04.079 --> 01:13:06.520 transition that they'll do. Sometimes they do it just a 1344 01:13:06.560 --> 01:13:10.800 little sometimes, aren't things almost lose all their leaves, But 1345 01:13:10.920 --> 01:13:13.680 they will keep growing. Just make sure that the soil 1346 01:13:13.840 --> 01:13:18.000 is not too wet, too soggy wet, that they have 1347 01:13:18.159 --> 01:13:21.279 decent drainage so roots can get oxygen, and I think 1348 01:13:21.279 --> 01:13:23.119 they're going to be fine. I would throw a little 1349 01:13:23.159 --> 01:13:24.960 bit of fertilizer on them. You can get you a 1350 01:13:25.039 --> 01:13:29.439 good quality citrus fertilizer, or you can just use a 1351 01:13:29.600 --> 01:13:32.479 lawn fertilizer if you in a pinch, there's no problem 1352 01:13:32.520 --> 01:13:35.000 with that. But give them a little bit just to 1353 01:13:35.079 --> 01:13:37.520 kind of give them a boost, and I think they're 1354 01:13:37.520 --> 01:13:39.960 gonna be all right on that. As far as the 1355 01:13:40.279 --> 01:13:45.920 yellowing leaf drop wells fruit like that, yeah, sixty six 1356 01:13:46.039 --> 01:13:49.000 from microlife would be fine. Just scratch it. Into the 1357 01:13:49.079 --> 01:13:52.600 soil surface a little bit so that the microbes can 1358 01:13:52.840 --> 01:13:54.840 It stays moist and the microbes can get a hold 1359 01:13:54.840 --> 01:13:58.319 of it and it'll be fine. You could even use 1360 01:13:58.399 --> 01:14:04.920 the Microlife's orange label Biomatrix. It's a liquid, it's got 1361 01:14:05.000 --> 01:14:07.600 seven percent nitrogen. It's high in the nitrogen, and give 1362 01:14:07.600 --> 01:14:10.199 them a boost with that to encourage some growth. You 1363 01:14:10.239 --> 01:14:12.560 can drench the soil, you can spray the leaves either way, 1364 01:14:12.960 --> 01:14:15.279 but primarily put it in the soil. That's where it's 1365 01:14:15.279 --> 01:14:17.920 going to do more good. Now, as far as the 1366 01:14:18.039 --> 01:14:21.239 line's falling off, when a tree is stressed, it will abort, 1367 01:14:21.560 --> 01:14:25.079 and when trees are young they do more of that. 1368 01:14:25.680 --> 01:14:27.560 You know, they have blooms all over them and then 1369 01:14:27.800 --> 01:14:31.560 little little fruit form and they all drop off. You 1370 01:14:31.640 --> 01:14:34.079 can get them to stay on there longer. They don't 1371 01:14:34.319 --> 01:14:37.000 abort them. They don't have the ability to throw them 1372 01:14:37.079 --> 01:14:40.119 off like they do when they're little. So that's just 1373 01:14:40.239 --> 01:14:44.520 a stress factor and you know, hopefully as things settle down, 1374 01:14:45.319 --> 01:14:48.119 they'll set fruit better for you. But in a container, 1375 01:14:48.680 --> 01:14:51.520 it's easy for them to get stressed from a lack 1376 01:14:51.560 --> 01:14:54.680 of water temporarily, or I think on this one, it's 1377 01:14:54.800 --> 01:14:57.079 more that they probably bloomed more than they could set 1378 01:14:57.399 --> 01:15:01.439 and maybe that change from being kept a little too warm. 1379 01:15:01.840 --> 01:15:04.760 And then now they grow and then they come out 1380 01:15:04.800 --> 01:15:07.640 and they get exposed, you know, to the new environment, 1381 01:15:07.960 --> 01:15:10.359 and that may be part of what's going on with 1382 01:15:10.479 --> 01:15:11.680 the fruit of boarding. 1383 01:15:13.039 --> 01:15:18.279 Okay, okay, so just all right, make sure they're moist, 1384 01:15:18.319 --> 01:15:19.359 but not do moist. 1385 01:15:20.359 --> 01:15:24.319 Yeah, and give them plenty of sunlight. Thanks Charles, appreciate 1386 01:15:24.399 --> 01:15:28.439 that call. You take care. You bet good to visit 1387 01:15:28.520 --> 01:15:32.039 with you.

Let's go to Spring. We're 1409 01:16:45.399 --> 01:16:47.600 going to talk to Jim. Hey Jim, welcome to garden Line. 1410 01:16:48.800 --> 01:16:49.600 Good morning, Skip. 1411 01:16:49.680 --> 01:16:50.039 How are you. 1412 01:16:51.520 --> 01:16:53.840 I'm doing well. I'm doing well. How can we help today? 1413 01:16:54.760 --> 01:16:55.039 Okay? 1414 01:16:55.039 --> 01:16:57.279 I got one simple and maybe one a little bit 1415 01:16:57.319 --> 01:17:04.039 more difficult. My irises in my bad just bloom beautifully 1416 01:17:04.119 --> 01:17:07.119 this year, and I got tons of but now they've 1417 01:17:07.159 --> 01:17:09.960 all died out. And so my question, Skip, is do 1418 01:17:10.079 --> 01:17:12.920 I just nip off the bloom at the top or 1419 01:17:13.159 --> 01:17:15.199 do I take this whole stalk all the way back 1420 01:17:15.279 --> 01:17:17.760 down to the ground. You know the iris is there's 1421 01:17:17.760 --> 01:17:21.920 a big heavy stalk and cut them off at the base. 1422 01:17:22.439 --> 01:17:24.399 Yeah, you just I would just take them down out 1423 01:17:24.439 --> 01:17:25.760 and get them out of the way. They're not going 1424 01:17:25.840 --> 01:17:28.920 to get pretty or that's for sure, so just just 1425 01:17:28.960 --> 01:17:30.560 take them out and take them out. 1426 01:17:30.680 --> 01:17:34.840 Okay, that's definite enough. My other one skip is in 1427 01:17:34.960 --> 01:17:39.439 my front yard. I have like nine pretty good sized 1428 01:17:39.560 --> 01:17:42.800 day lilies. Three of them are three years old and 1429 01:17:43.199 --> 01:17:48.319 the rest are two years old. But I'm getting I'm 1430 01:17:48.359 --> 01:17:52.039 not getting blooms like I do with my day lilies 1431 01:17:52.119 --> 01:17:58.199 in the backyard. They come up and they bloom. They're 1432 01:17:58.239 --> 01:18:00.880 small buds to start with, and then they bloom for 1433 01:18:00.960 --> 01:18:02.920 a couple of days, and then they close up and 1434 01:18:03.000 --> 01:18:05.119 they just don't hope up again, and they kind of 1435 01:18:05.199 --> 01:18:08.039 fall off to the ground. And I have a fair 1436 01:18:08.039 --> 01:18:11.039 amount of kind of brownish. 1437 01:18:12.039 --> 01:18:16.920 Rust looking on the leaves. Okay, there is a disease 1438 01:18:17.119 --> 01:18:20.159 called rust on day lily, and I suspect that is 1439 01:18:20.399 --> 01:18:23.039 part of what's going on. Day lilies need lots of sun. 1440 01:18:24.039 --> 01:18:27.640 Not all day lilies bloom equally. Different varieties performed a 1441 01:18:27.720 --> 01:18:31.199 little differently for you. But the rust is a disease 1442 01:18:31.319 --> 01:18:34.319 that's very difficult to control. And if you will send 1443 01:18:34.399 --> 01:18:36.840 me an email, I don't have time to try to 1444 01:18:36.920 --> 01:18:39.319 read out all what you do on the air. But 1445 01:18:39.399 --> 01:18:41.239 if you'll send me an email, I'll give you a 1446 01:18:41.439 --> 01:18:43.439 response to it. Basically, you're going to cut off a 1447 01:18:43.479 --> 01:18:45.760 lot of the top growth back to the ground, let 1448 01:18:45.800 --> 01:18:48.119 them come out fresh again, and then do some things 1449 01:18:48.159 --> 01:18:50.920 in the way of treating for it. But I send 1450 01:18:50.960 --> 01:18:52.600 me a picture, send me an email if you would 1451 01:18:52.640 --> 01:18:54.840 send me a picture of what you're seeing, and I'll 1452 01:18:54.880 --> 01:18:57.520 be happy to give you a better answer because I'm 1453 01:18:57.600 --> 01:18:58.560 running out of time here. 1454 01:18:58.880 --> 01:19:01.760 Yes, understood, all right, I'll shoot you an email.

Yeah. 1471 01:19:55.840 --> 01:19:57.359 I don't know if you've thought about this, but when 1472 01:19:57.399 --> 01:20:01.600 you buy a quality pot instead of a cheap pot, well, 1473 01:20:01.720 --> 01:20:03.239 you know, like a lot of things in life, the 1474 01:20:03.359 --> 01:20:06.199 cheapest thing is probably not the thing you need to buy. Right, 1475 01:20:06.680 --> 01:20:09.399 You buy a quality pot and year after year after 1476 01:20:09.520 --> 01:20:11.840 year after year, you just enjoy it. There'll be a 1477 01:20:11.960 --> 01:20:14.920 lot of plants to go through that pot, but the 1478 01:20:15.000 --> 01:20:18.680 pot remains looks good. We try to invest in one 1479 01:20:18.920 --> 01:20:21.560 really nice pot each year. You know, it's a good idea. 1480 01:20:23.840 --> 01:20:26.399 All right, it's gonna take a break. We'll be back 1481 01:20:26.439 --> 01:20:31.960 after the top of the hour. News. All right, welcome 1482 01:20:32.000 --> 01:20:39.199 back to Guardline. Good to have you here, Glad you're 1483 01:20:39.239 --> 01:20:43.520 joining us today. Just want to remind you I'm going 1484 01:20:43.560 --> 01:20:46.279 to be at Southwest Fertilizer today from twelve noon to 1485 01:20:46.399 --> 01:20:49.640 two pm. So come on out, come on, grab you 1486 01:20:49.680 --> 01:20:51.239 a bite to eat, and come on out. They're gonna 1487 01:20:51.239 --> 01:20:53.079 have some refreshments there too. By the way, to hold 1488 01:20:53.119 --> 01:20:57.520 us over, I will be giving away some Bob's providing 1489 01:20:57.560 --> 01:21:00.520 a couple of things that Toro battery powered will and 1490 01:21:00.640 --> 01:21:04.239 a Toro battery powered string trimmer that is worth alone 1491 01:21:04.319 --> 01:21:07.279 right there coming out for I hope you come out 1492 01:21:07.640 --> 01:21:10.359 to see me and to see the cool supply of 1493 01:21:10.439 --> 01:21:13.119 things that they have there at Southwest Fertilizer, because they 1494 01:21:13.159 --> 01:21:16.119 do really do. Now I'm going to also be given 1495 01:21:16.159 --> 01:21:18.000 away for everybody that comes to the table a ten 1496 01:21:18.079 --> 01:21:20.840 dollars skip buck. What is a skip buck? Well, it's 1497 01:21:20.880 --> 01:21:23.920 a printed piece of paper that you can use to 1498 01:21:24.039 --> 01:21:27.640 buy something in the store. Ten bucks. That's a nice 1499 01:21:27.720 --> 01:21:32.520 little off there. So come on out. Where is Southwest Fertilizer. 1500 01:21:32.560 --> 01:21:35.239 It's on the corner of Businet and Runwick, Southwest Houston. 1501 01:21:35.760 --> 01:21:40.279 Come on and see me. I need to mention something. 1502 01:21:40.640 --> 01:21:45.960 If you are emailing me a picture, please attach it 1503 01:21:46.279 --> 01:21:50.840 rather than embed it. What's the difference. Well, attachment is 1504 01:21:50.880 --> 01:21:53.520 when you click on that paper clip on a computer 1505 01:21:54.319 --> 01:21:56.399 and you attach it so you get your message and 1506 01:21:56.439 --> 01:21:58.880 then you have something that's sent with the message. An 1507 01:21:58.920 --> 01:22:03.079 attachment embedding is pasting it into the text of the email. 1508 01:22:04.119 --> 01:22:04.600 I can't. 1509 01:22:05.000 --> 01:22:08.640 I have to open up in a photo browser if 1510 01:22:08.680 --> 01:22:10.920 it's embedded, and then try to zoom in and I 1511 01:22:11.119 --> 01:22:13.680 just you know, I can't walk into your gum at 1512 01:22:13.720 --> 01:22:16.760 the same time, So just attach it and that would 1513 01:22:16.760 --> 01:22:20.159 be helpful. Secondly, if you send an email and there's 1514 01:22:20.319 --> 01:22:23.560 no name, you know, maybe it's coming from like my 1515 01:22:23.760 --> 01:22:26.520 picks messages dot com. That's one of the ways people 1516 01:22:26.600 --> 01:22:29.920 send photos and things. But I'm not going to open 1517 01:22:29.960 --> 01:22:33.520 them because who knows. I mean, this unfortunately is day 1518 01:22:33.520 --> 01:22:35.520 in time we get all kinds of junk where people 1519 01:22:35.560 --> 01:22:38.439 are trying to trying to infect your computer, and so 1520 01:22:38.840 --> 01:22:41.560 I'm sure this is legit, but I'm just not going 1521 01:22:41.640 --> 01:22:44.159 to be So whoever sent me the pictures just a 1522 01:22:44.199 --> 01:22:48.520 little bit ago, go ahead and put something in there 1523 01:22:48.800 --> 01:22:50.920 that tells me who you are and what this is about, 1524 01:22:51.640 --> 01:22:54.000 and I'll be able to open them. All Right, sounds fair. 1525 01:22:55.079 --> 01:23:01.279 Let's go Southwest Houston. We're going to talk to Carolyn. Hello, Carolyn, my. 1526 01:23:01.439 --> 01:23:05.520 Friend has a muldberry. My friend has a mulberry bush 1527 01:23:05.640 --> 01:23:09.640 that's dropped berries on her driveway. What's the best thing 1528 01:23:09.800 --> 01:23:12.079 to use to sweight up the stain. 1529 01:23:14.479 --> 01:23:17.279 That is a good question. To clean up a stain, 1530 01:23:17.880 --> 01:23:23.439 I don't know there I would, you know, if I 1531 01:23:23.520 --> 01:23:27.319 were doing it, And the first answer is the correct one, 1532 01:23:27.399 --> 01:23:30.520 and that is I don't know. I would probably use 1533 01:23:30.640 --> 01:23:36.159 something like maybe a TSP, which is something you use 1534 01:23:36.319 --> 01:23:39.000 to put in a hoseen sprayer and spray on the 1535 01:23:39.039 --> 01:23:40.640 side of your house to get mold and junk and 1536 01:23:40.680 --> 01:23:42.720 stuff like that off. See if that works a little bit, 1537 01:23:43.720 --> 01:23:49.119 the stain will in time get less and less. You might, 1538 01:23:50.199 --> 01:23:51.640 you know, I don't know if there's a way to 1539 01:23:51.720 --> 01:23:54.199 use bleach in a small amount, because you know, bleach 1540 01:23:54.279 --> 01:23:56.680 urt plants. But if you had a little spray bottle, 1541 01:23:56.720 --> 01:23:58.880 maybe that would work. But then you'd probably have white 1542 01:23:58.920 --> 01:24:02.359 spots on the drive. You stump the chump on. 1543 01:24:02.399 --> 01:24:08.039 That one, Carolyn, Okay, My other question is about collars. 1544 01:24:09.880 --> 01:24:14.239 She also had a kind of collared plant that she 1545 01:24:14.840 --> 01:24:18.600 didn't know she had. She's kind of a nonchalant gardener. 1546 01:24:19.800 --> 01:24:20.880 But it had gotten. 1547 01:24:22.600 --> 01:24:27.079 Had gotten huge, so she cut everything down and gave 1548 01:24:27.119 --> 01:24:31.199 it to me to cook. They were really hard and tough. 1549 01:24:31.920 --> 01:24:34.640 Is that because they probably went through the summer and 1550 01:24:34.800 --> 01:24:38.840 the winter together and just grew to the others too old? 1551 01:24:40.159 --> 01:24:44.039 Yeah, those are older leaves. You know, leaves when they 1552 01:24:44.119 --> 01:24:47.680 grow fast, they can be bigger and still be decent tenderness. 1553 01:24:48.600 --> 01:24:52.399 But as they age, you can't just go by size 1554 01:24:52.399 --> 01:24:53.920 of the leaf. But it's the age of the leaf 1555 01:24:54.439 --> 01:24:58.720 that they get kind of tough. Yeah, that's it. You 1556 01:24:58.800 --> 01:25:02.640 can take the I was I was just gonna kind 1557 01:25:02.680 --> 01:25:04.640 of kid you. I was gonna say, take the the 1558 01:25:04.720 --> 01:25:08.279 mid veins out and put them in your smoothies. Grind 1559 01:25:08.319 --> 01:25:10.680 them up and you get that you get all the 1560 01:25:10.760 --> 01:25:14.159 nutrients out of them. Anyway, I do that with kale. 1561 01:25:14.159 --> 01:25:18.800 By the way, speaking speaking of nutrients, all the leafy 1562 01:25:18.920 --> 01:25:23.279 greens have oxalic acid, So would those old leaves have 1563 01:25:23.479 --> 01:25:26.920 increased the rate of oxalid acid in each one? 1564 01:25:28.119 --> 01:25:31.439 I wouldn't worry about that. On the the cruciferous, those 1565 01:25:31.520 --> 01:25:37.199 blue lee vegetables, uh, spinach has higher oxalic acid, and 1566 01:25:37.640 --> 01:25:42.760 soil the tangy lemony sorrel can have high higher oxalic acid. 1567 01:25:43.399 --> 01:25:46.359 But I've never heard about worrying about that, whether it's 1568 01:25:47.079 --> 01:25:50.279 collars or tale or you know, those blue lee vegetables. 1569 01:25:51.279 --> 01:25:52.840 Oh good, I'll keep eating them. 1570 01:25:52.920 --> 01:25:57.479 Then there you go. All right, great, tell me what 1571 01:25:58.720 --> 01:26:00.880 let us know. Let us know what works on the 1572 01:26:00.960 --> 01:26:05.640 blueberry the blue bird poop, mulberry stains. I'd like to 1573 01:26:05.800 --> 01:26:07.199 I'd like to land from that one. 1574 01:26:08.159 --> 01:26:12.800 All right, okay, well do bye bye, all right, bye bye. 1575 01:26:15.039 --> 01:26:18.039 You know, I've been doing this for thirty seven years now, 1576 01:26:18.239 --> 01:26:22.520 answering gardening questions both the radio and people coming into 1577 01:26:22.520 --> 01:26:26.159 the extension officer calling, and it amazes me that I 1578 01:26:26.239 --> 01:26:29.399 get a call. To my knowledge, I've never been asked 1579 01:26:29.520 --> 01:26:32.439 about the blueberry bird poop on the sidewalk. That's a 1580 01:26:32.520 --> 01:26:37.119 new one. So there you go. Congratulations. Jungle Land is 1581 01:26:37.359 --> 01:26:41.119 a quality potting mix that distributed by Nitrovoss that comes 1582 01:26:41.159 --> 01:26:44.560 in two forms.

If 1594 01:27:25.319 --> 01:27:27.720 you haven't been to Buchanan's Native Plants in the Heights, 1595 01:27:27.960 --> 01:27:31.279 you need to go that place. They've got their new 1596 01:27:31.720 --> 01:27:34.520 They just did the new checkout area. It is a 1597 01:27:34.800 --> 01:27:38.119 metal structure that is strong. Do you know, Bless their hearts, 1598 01:27:38.880 --> 01:27:42.079 Ay Buchanan's. Twice in the last twelve months they've lost 1599 01:27:42.159 --> 01:27:46.079 their checkout area to storms, trees falling, crushing down on 1600 01:27:46.199 --> 01:27:49.359 the thing and everything. Now they've got a structure that 1601 01:27:50.359 --> 01:27:54.119 is awesome. So if it's raining, you can check out 1602 01:27:54.439 --> 01:27:57.079 and you stay dry. If it is blazing hot in summer, 1603 01:27:57.359 --> 01:28:00.119 you can check out and you're protected from the on. 1604 01:28:00.279 --> 01:28:03.319 It really works well. They have worked hard to keep 1605 01:28:03.399 --> 01:28:06.079 that place looking awesome, and they always do, you know, 1606 01:28:06.279 --> 01:28:09.720 they always do. Now I want to remind you Tuesday, 1607 01:28:09.720 --> 01:28:12.920 April twenty second is Earth Day and to celebrate Earthday, 1608 01:28:13.119 --> 01:28:17.520 all of the drought tolerant perennials at Buchanans are thirty 1609 01:28:17.840 --> 01:28:20.039 to fifty percent off. You can go to their website 1610 01:28:20.079 --> 01:28:22.479 and check the perennial section to learn about all the 1611 01:28:22.600 --> 01:28:26.680 things that they carry. Also, on Earth Day, thirty percent 1612 01:28:26.800 --> 01:28:29.239 off their rain barrels kind of helps a little on 1613 01:28:29.319 --> 01:28:32.680 the water bill. It certainly conserves some water, but I 1614 01:28:32.760 --> 01:28:35.000 would say the main reason for a white rain barrew 1615 01:28:35.119 --> 01:28:37.800 is to get the best water on Earth for your plants. 1616 01:28:38.079 --> 01:28:41.039 There's nothing better than rainwater. And here's your chance thirty 1617 01:28:41.079 --> 01:28:45.680 percent off rainbarrows at Buchanans. Go to the website Buchanansplants 1618 01:28:45.800 --> 01:28:49.880 dot com.

Hey, Dave, 1727 01:34:46.600 --> 01:34:47.479 welcome to garden Line. 1728 01:34:48.319 --> 01:34:51.800 Hey, thanks Yip, thanks for taking my call. Yes, sir, 1729 01:34:51.880 --> 01:34:54.319 I probably have a quick and you've had many a time, 1730 01:34:54.399 --> 01:34:57.399 but I'm not sure. I had two large oak trees 1731 01:34:57.399 --> 01:35:01.359 in my backyard. One of them started destroying the pool plumbing, 1732 01:35:01.439 --> 01:35:03.920 so we took it down. We grounded down the roots. 1733 01:35:04.399 --> 01:35:07.319 The other one is still standing. Okay, we grounded the stump. 1734 01:35:07.359 --> 01:35:11.199 I mean, all of a sudden on both the ghosts 1735 01:35:11.680 --> 01:35:14.479 of the of the old tree and the new tree, 1736 01:35:14.520 --> 01:35:18.239 along with the roots are I'm getting all these oak 1737 01:35:18.319 --> 01:35:21.840 tree seedlings popping up, and I want to get rid 1738 01:35:21.880 --> 01:35:26.720 of them without destroying the remaining tree, you know, so. 1739 01:35:28.319 --> 01:35:28.840 Or the grass. 1740 01:35:29.079 --> 01:35:30.319 So do you have any ideas? 1741 01:35:34.239 --> 01:35:37.399 So these are you're saying, they're roots sprouts from a 1742 01:35:37.479 --> 01:35:38.479 tree you cut down? 1743 01:35:39.680 --> 01:35:41.640 Yeah, along, but what is it? 1744 01:35:42.359 --> 01:35:44.399 What is it that you don't want to destroy because 1745 01:35:44.439 --> 01:35:47.399 you cut down the tree. So what I don't want you? 1746 01:35:48.159 --> 01:35:50.279 I don't want new trees coming up. There's hundreds of 1747 01:35:50.439 --> 01:35:54.880 little oak tree you know price several long? 1748 01:35:56.920 --> 01:35:58.520 Was this was this a live oak? 1749 01:35:59.640 --> 01:35:59.840 Yes? 1750 01:36:01.439 --> 01:36:05.800 Okay, all right? So the seedlings, first of all, they 1751 01:36:05.840 --> 01:36:07.399 could be one of two things. They could be a 1752 01:36:07.439 --> 01:36:16.920 seedling coming from an acorn. That's possible, root sprout, all right, 1753 01:36:17.079 --> 01:36:20.920 So so roots sprouts, Uh, you got to kill that 1754 01:36:22.199 --> 01:36:25.319 the root that is causing those. And so what I 1755 01:36:25.399 --> 01:36:28.479 would do, Uh, if you go online to my website 1756 01:36:28.600 --> 01:36:33.079 gardening with Skip dot com Gardening with skip dot com, 1757 01:36:33.600 --> 01:36:38.000 there's a publication called Controlling Woody Weeds in the Landscape 1758 01:36:38.560 --> 01:36:41.840 and a product ingredient called tricle Peer, and I give 1759 01:36:41.880 --> 01:36:45.920 you examples of the brands on the publication. You apply 1760 01:36:46.159 --> 01:36:51.119 that to the stems of those little oak shoots coming up, 1761 01:36:51.159 --> 01:36:54.000 and normally we're cutting a Normally we would have done 1762 01:36:54.039 --> 01:36:56.119 this when the tree was cut off, you would immediately 1763 01:36:56.199 --> 01:36:58.880 put tricle peer around the stump and it would have 1764 01:36:59.000 --> 01:37:01.199 it would have prevented this. But now at this stage 1765 01:37:01.319 --> 01:37:02.600 that stump is old and blood. 1766 01:37:03.560 --> 01:37:05.840 There's a live tree that it's doing it too also 1767 01:37:07.279 --> 01:37:09.399 on the along that root line, and I don't want 1768 01:37:09.399 --> 01:37:10.079 to kill that tree. 1769 01:37:11.560 --> 01:37:14.119 Well, you can't put track up here on that there. 1770 01:37:15.159 --> 01:37:17.560 There's just not a way other than going down and 1771 01:37:17.680 --> 01:37:20.600 trying to dig them out. I've seen people use the 1772 01:37:20.760 --> 01:37:24.359 very very heavy, heavy groundcover fabric that garden centers used 1773 01:37:24.359 --> 01:37:26.760 to set plants on on the ground. They'll put that 1774 01:37:26.920 --> 01:37:28.880 down and then they'll weigh it down, you know, with 1775 01:37:28.960 --> 01:37:32.880 a gravelly kind of material on top. But live oaks, 1776 01:37:33.119 --> 01:37:36.399 there's there's two types of live oak in terms of 1777 01:37:36.479 --> 01:37:40.000 this issue. One kind along the Gulf coast are typically 1778 01:37:40.199 --> 01:37:43.720 not suckering live oaks, not very much. The other kind, 1779 01:37:44.399 --> 01:37:48.239 the seed stocks come from places like Central Texas and 1780 01:37:48.439 --> 01:37:51.359 there you see oak mots out in pastures and if 1781 01:37:51.359 --> 01:37:53.000 you go over to Quero or you go up to 1782 01:37:53.159 --> 01:37:55.760 Central Texas and areas, you'll see some of that. That 1783 01:37:55.920 --> 01:37:58.560 strain of live oaks is really bad about root suckering. 1784 01:37:58.720 --> 01:38:01.960 And there's No, you can get a product called sucker 1785 01:38:02.119 --> 01:38:04.800 stopper and try to use that. I've never tried it 1786 01:38:04.880 --> 01:38:09.079 on live oak root shoots.

LINE i have 1900 01:44:10.800 --> 01:44:17.359 a couple of lines of slender silhouette tweak on TREES 1901 01:44:17.439 --> 01:44:20.880 i planted last. Year these are trees that get only 1902 01:44:20.920 --> 01:44:25.000 about four feet around with but they get twenty or 1903 01:44:25.079 --> 01:44:28.840 forty feet. Tall and last year it was the first 1904 01:44:28.880 --> 01:44:31.399 year in the, ground and of course the end of 1905 01:44:31.439 --> 01:44:36.720 the season they got attacked by a web worm and 1906 01:44:37.399 --> 01:44:43.680 are a. Bagworm And i've seen worse than fest stations 1907 01:44:44.560 --> 01:44:48.279 around the. Town But i'd like to preclude this happening this, 1908 01:44:48.520 --> 01:44:52.520 year And i'd like to use a systemic something that 1909 01:44:52.840 --> 01:44:56.359 translocates into the leaves that when they were the offending 1910 01:44:56.560 --> 01:45:01.199 insect chomps on, it they die rather than but do 1911 01:45:02.159 --> 01:45:06.680 You i'm we're leary of The amiddo cloprid or any 1912 01:45:06.760 --> 01:45:15.279 other kind of neo nicotinoid that might harm pollinating. Insect all, 1913 01:45:15.359 --> 01:45:16.600 right got? 1914 01:45:16.680 --> 01:45:19.079 You all, right here's what you. Do don't worry about 1915 01:45:19.079 --> 01:45:21.520 the meticloprid on sweet. Gums sweet gums do not have 1916 01:45:21.640 --> 01:45:25.079 flowers that attract pollinators or bees or that kind of. 1917 01:45:25.159 --> 01:45:27.439 Thing so if you put that down in the root, 1918 01:45:27.520 --> 01:45:29.920 system you just drench it, in it goes up in that. Plant, 1919 01:45:29.960 --> 01:45:32.159 NOW i wouldn't just drench your whole yard in, it 1920 01:45:32.279 --> 01:45:37.199 first of, all that'd be economically, challenging but just do 1921 01:45:37.319 --> 01:45:39.159 it for the sweet. Gums, now you, know if you 1922 01:45:39.239 --> 01:45:42.359 have a tree like a crape myrtle that is going 1923 01:45:42.399 --> 01:45:45.600 to have blooms that do attract, bees then the ametacloprid 1924 01:45:45.640 --> 01:45:48.159 would be something you can make a case for being concerned, 1925 01:45:48.199 --> 01:45:50.840 about for, Sure but with the sweet, gums you don't 1926 01:45:50.840 --> 01:45:53.239 need to worry about. It the alternative to using the 1927 01:45:53.359 --> 01:45:56.840 systemic would be to get a spinosid or end or 1928 01:45:56.920 --> 01:46:00.560 a bee t spray and when you see the first 1929 01:46:00.600 --> 01:46:04.159 sinus sweet gum of the, webworm start to spray the. 1930 01:46:04.239 --> 01:46:07.600 Foliage so the webworms have to eat foliage with that 1931 01:46:07.760 --> 01:46:11.520 sprayed on. Them if they've already got a web you 1932 01:46:11.640 --> 01:46:13.960 got to break those webs up with either a powerful 1933 01:46:14.039 --> 01:46:16.640 stream of water or a long, pole which on a 1934 01:46:16.760 --> 01:46:21.000 slender silhouette means a pretty long pole in order to 1935 01:46:21.079 --> 01:46:23.960 get the spray to the foliage where the webworms are. 1936 01:46:24.000 --> 01:46:26.720 Feeding but those are your two. Options is to do 1937 01:46:27.159 --> 01:46:30.039 a contact insecticide on the, leaf those are the two organic, 1938 01:46:30.079 --> 01:46:33.960 options or to do the systemic and again a medical opri. 1939 01:46:34.159 --> 01:46:36.520 One sweet, Gum i'm not concerned. 1940 01:46:36.199 --> 01:46:44.800 About, okay and one one application or repeated applications in 1941 01:46:44.840 --> 01:46:45.880 a medic opriate. 1942 01:46:45.960 --> 01:46:47.600 One and it's going to take it a while to 1943 01:46:47.640 --> 01:46:47.960 get up. 1944 01:46:48.000 --> 01:46:48.319 There and. 1945 01:46:48.439 --> 01:46:51.199 Webworms you can have some webworms earlier in the, summer 1946 01:46:51.840 --> 01:46:56.399 but typically when we're getting into you, know Late, July, August, 1947 01:46:56.479 --> 01:47:00.960 september that's when they're making their main. Hit SO i 1948 01:47:01.000 --> 01:47:06.880 would probably look at putting something down maybe Mid, july 1949 01:47:07.279 --> 01:47:10.039 second or third week In, july getting it so it 1950 01:47:10.119 --> 01:47:12.039 has time to get up in that tree and be 1951 01:47:12.159 --> 01:47:13.920 in the foliage when the webworms. 1952 01:47:14.000 --> 01:47:19.479 Arrive, okay so right now they're just butting out a 1953 01:47:19.560 --> 01:47:23.319 few of them have already fully leaped. Out, yeah do 1954 01:47:23.479 --> 01:47:27.359 it now or wait Until? July, NO i, MEAN i. 1955 01:47:27.359 --> 01:47:31.560 Wouldn't you, know every year is, different but generally the 1956 01:47:31.640 --> 01:47:35.760 first population isn't as big of a. Concern you could 1957 01:47:35.840 --> 01:47:40.640 do it earlier, on BUT i think more often than 1958 01:47:40.680 --> 01:47:44.279 not it's not. Needed but when we start getting into 1959 01:47:44.520 --> 01:47:47.720 mid to late summer and early, fall that's when we 1960 01:47:47.840 --> 01:47:50.119 need to have that product already up in the.

Spring, First, hey welcome. 2042 01:52:21.600 --> 01:52:24.680 Back what it's uplar time At welcome back to garden. 2043 01:52:24.720 --> 01:52:29.039 Line you know if you've downloaded my, schedule you know 2044 01:52:29.319 --> 01:52:32.560 that on there it's the lawn care schedule At gardening 2045 01:52:32.720 --> 01:52:38.239 With skip dot. Com it shows you what to fertilize 2046 01:52:38.520 --> 01:52:41.359 or when to, fertilize and what products THAT i would 2047 01:52:41.399 --> 01:52:42.840 suggest you. Use and. 2048 01:52:44.680 --> 01:52:45.319 We tend to. 2049 01:52:45.319 --> 01:52:48.520 Divide things into the early spring, greenups you, know which 2050 01:52:48.560 --> 01:52:51.319 are fast, release and then the THINGS i recommend through 2051 01:52:51.359 --> 01:52:53.359 the summer that are slow. Released, now you can use 2052 01:52:53.399 --> 01:52:56.079 a fast release all, year but you just need to 2053 01:52:56.119 --> 01:52:58.239 break it up and do it in small doses because 2054 01:52:58.239 --> 01:52:59.920 you don't want to have a whole dump of nitrogen 2055 01:53:00.000 --> 01:53:03.920 and suddenly being available at one. Time so as we 2056 01:53:04.039 --> 01:53:07.520 get into the growing, season you know you would have 2057 01:53:07.600 --> 01:53:08.960 to break it. Up SO i like to go to 2058 01:53:09.000 --> 01:53:12.039 the slow. Releases the technology in there really really. Works 2059 01:53:12.239 --> 01:53:15.159 but there's a product that kind of straddles, that and 2060 01:53:15.279 --> 01:53:20.039 That's Nelson Plant, Food Turf, Star Bruce's, Brew Bruce's. Brew 2061 01:53:20.560 --> 01:53:24.359 Bruce's brew has an initial fast release of, nutrients but 2062 01:53:24.600 --> 01:53:28.279 over time it evens out for regulated. Growth so it's 2063 01:53:28.399 --> 01:53:30.840 not all fast release and it's not all slow. Release 2064 01:53:30.880 --> 01:53:35.479 it's kind of the different nitrogen sources That nelson's puts 2065 01:53:35.560 --> 01:53:40.119 in there release in that. Way and so basically number, 2066 01:53:40.159 --> 01:53:43.680 one it does feed sil more the carbon based nitrogen, 2067 01:53:43.760 --> 01:53:47.319 sources and it feed so all. Microbes it helps in 2068 01:53:47.479 --> 01:53:51.319 root development to sustain grasses through the summer. Heat and you, 2069 01:53:51.399 --> 01:53:54.239 know without any kind of, plant healthy soil leads to healthy, 2070 01:53:54.279 --> 01:53:57.600 grass it's less vulnerable to pests and. Diseases Bruce's brew 2071 01:53:58.279 --> 01:54:00.399 is part of the Turf star line and it's widely 2072 01:54:00.439 --> 01:54:03.640 available here in The houston.

Breakdown 2487 02:17:25.200 --> 02:17:27.399 like compost, ultimately. 2488 02:17:27.399 --> 02:17:31.639 It does look at nature like on a forest, floor 2489 02:17:31.760 --> 02:17:33.799 leaves fall on the ground and they sit there looking 2490 02:17:33.879 --> 02:17:36.200 like dry leaves all, year and then more leaves fall 2491 02:17:36.360 --> 02:17:38.559 and those that got covered up start to stay wet 2492 02:17:38.639 --> 02:17:42.399 and they start to. Decompose so whenever you, maulch don't 2493 02:17:42.440 --> 02:17:45.280 get rid of the. Oulmultch always just add fresh mulch 2494 02:17:45.399 --> 02:17:49.159 on top and the olmalts decomposes, away just like nature 2495 02:17:49.239 --> 02:17:51.920 does it and the soil gets better from that over. 2496 02:17:52.079 --> 02:17:55.280 Time but initially mulch is to protect the surface of the. 2497 02:17:55.360 --> 02:18:00.680 Soil, okay very, Good and can you use compost to 2498 02:18:00.760 --> 02:18:02.200 protect the, Surface and then it's. 2499 02:18:02.239 --> 02:18:03.680 You know the fun you? 2500 02:18:03.760 --> 02:18:03.879 Can? 2501 02:18:05.520 --> 02:18:11.920 Ok, yeah, right you? Can, yeah that's, it all, right good? 2502 02:18:12.000 --> 02:18:14.440 Luck really quick question, peanuts. 2503 02:18:16.879 --> 02:18:17.520 How do you grow? 2504 02:18:17.639 --> 02:18:20.559 PEANUTS i have some for my birds and they're starting 2505 02:18:20.639 --> 02:18:25.559 to root the left of. Them think they grow some, 2506 02:18:25.639 --> 02:18:26.879 peanuts peanut. 2507 02:18:27.319 --> 02:18:33.479 Peanuts interestingly, enough peanuts do best in a, sandy loose, 2508 02:18:33.840 --> 02:18:38.719 soil a very loose. Soil you don't want to over fertilize. 2509 02:18:38.760 --> 02:18:42.079 It they are a legome like clover and blue bonnets 2510 02:18:42.120 --> 02:18:44.559 and other. Things they put nitrogen in the soil. Themselves 2511 02:18:45.159 --> 02:18:47.600 but the peanut plant has to be happy and growing 2512 02:18:47.799 --> 02:18:51.719 is it spreads. Out it sends a shoot out of 2513 02:18:51.920 --> 02:18:54.799 the branches of the, plant and it pushes it down 2514 02:18:54.879 --> 02:18:57.159 in the, soil and the peanut is on the end 2515 02:18:57.200 --> 02:18:59.559 of that. Shoot so peanuts don't grow on the roots 2516 02:18:59.600 --> 02:19:03.200 of the. Plant they grow on drop down shoots that 2517 02:19:03.319 --> 02:19:05.760 get pushed into the soil from. Above isn't that? Weird 2518 02:19:06.760 --> 02:19:09.920 but so you need a loose. Soil it needs to drain, 2519 02:19:10.000 --> 02:19:13.200 well and you don't want over fertilize. It you don't 2520 02:19:13.239 --> 02:19:16.680 Want you want the peanut to get plenty of sunlight 2521 02:19:16.840 --> 02:19:19.159 and have a well drained, soil and you can grow. 2522 02:19:19.079 --> 02:19:22.559 Them, Here yes you, can, yeah, good all, Right well that's. 2523 02:19:22.600 --> 02:19:25.479 It thanks a, lot all, right you, bet thanks a. 2524 02:19:25.520 --> 02:19:28.680 LOT a good line of questions.

Happy if THE 2605 02:23:49.000 --> 02:23:52.319 i saw you were having some yellowing leaves too on? 2606 02:23:52.440 --> 02:23:52.879 Them is that? 2607 02:23:53.000 --> 02:23:59.719 Correct? Yes is the yellowing on the older leaves further 2608 02:23:59.840 --> 02:24:02.760 down on the chute where the end of the shoot looks, 2609 02:24:02.799 --> 02:24:04.760 good or is it on the new leaves at the 2610 02:24:04.840 --> 02:24:05.719 end of the shoot. 2611 02:24:07.639 --> 02:24:11.120 Some of them or, Mope i've got one that has 2612 02:24:11.280 --> 02:24:13.280 it's going pretty. Much it looks like it sticks them 2613 02:24:13.319 --> 02:24:18.000 to diet's going all the way down that it's mostly you, 2614 02:24:18.079 --> 02:24:19.360 know at the top the. 2615 02:24:19.520 --> 02:24:24.719 Distance, okay, OKAY i, see, well guardenias or acid loving, 2616 02:24:24.799 --> 02:24:27.120 plants and as the pH gets, higher they don't do. 2617 02:24:27.239 --> 02:24:32.520 Well and so h that shows up as new growth. 2618 02:24:32.760 --> 02:24:37.120 Yellowing the new growth comes out yellow and with green. Veins. 2619 02:24:37.280 --> 02:24:40.680 Maybe uh and that's an that's an iron. Deficiency but 2620 02:24:40.760 --> 02:24:44.520 it's caused by high pH and high. Hyphosphorus so anything 2621 02:24:44.600 --> 02:24:47.520 you do to lower the pH sometimes you have to do. 2622 02:24:47.639 --> 02:24:51.360 Something drainage is also a problem on guardinas when when 2623 02:24:51.399 --> 02:24:54.600 the soil stays wet for too long of a. Time 2624 02:24:55.239 --> 02:24:57.079 in that, case you almost have to kind of, like, 2625 02:24:58.280 --> 02:25:02.840 okay well getting that pH down by continuing to put 2626 02:25:02.959 --> 02:25:08.200 acid loving, PLANTS i mean acid loving fertilizers around the. Plants. 2627 02:25:08.799 --> 02:25:11.799 Uh So microlife has the WINE i was telling, Well 2628 02:25:11.879 --> 02:25:14.719 microlife has one that is for acid loving. Plants it's a. 2629 02:25:14.799 --> 02:25:18.719 Granular you can also add some sulfur around the plant 2630 02:25:19.319 --> 02:25:22.360 in very small, doses sprinkle it. Around if you take 2631 02:25:22.440 --> 02:25:25.680 a spading fork and go around the plant and just 2632 02:25:25.840 --> 02:25:28.760 push it straight in and wiggle it and then pull 2633 02:25:28.840 --> 02:25:31.959 it straight up out of the hole you've created, holes 2634 02:25:32.159 --> 02:25:35.559 and then put a good, compost an acidic compost top 2635 02:25:35.680 --> 02:25:38.319 dressing over it and it'll fall into those. Holes and 2636 02:25:38.440 --> 02:25:40.799 as you do that a couple times a year even 2637 02:25:41.280 --> 02:25:44.079 you'll start to get that soil in a better condition 2638 02:25:44.440 --> 02:25:48.239 for these. Plants and then the combination that. 2639 02:25:49.840 --> 02:25:51.719 Block that going down with good and. 2640 02:25:52.879 --> 02:25:56.239 Good but they're still not. 2641 02:25:56.319 --> 02:26:01.319 Blooming, Okay, well if it's getting on and the plant is, 2642 02:26:01.360 --> 02:26:03.840 healthy it ought to be, Blooming SO i think something's 2643 02:26:03.879 --> 02:26:06.239 going on with the. Health and the yellowing leaves are 2644 02:26:06.360 --> 02:26:09.520 usually a sign of. Stress, now guardenias are, evergreens but 2645 02:26:09.600 --> 02:26:13.120 that doesn't mean leaf individual leaf lefs. Forever so it's 2646 02:26:13.159 --> 02:26:15.879 not unusual for the older leaves to turn yellow and 2647 02:26:16.000 --> 02:26:19.520 fall off at certain times of the, year and so 2648 02:26:19.799 --> 02:26:21.959 that could be a stress related or just part of the. 2649 02:26:22.040 --> 02:26:26.879 Transition oak live oaks do, that and so it's not 2650 02:26:27.760 --> 02:26:29.920 that in and of itself isn't necessarily a. Problem BUT 2651 02:26:30.399 --> 02:26:32.399 i would keep working on that soil AND i would 2652 02:26:32.399 --> 02:26:34.799 get the soil. Down if you can go to a 2653 02:26:34.920 --> 02:26:39.719 garden center and buy something called keylated. Iron keylated is 2654 02:26:39.799 --> 02:26:40.920 spelled c h. 2655 02:26:42.440 --> 02:26:42.600 L a. 2656 02:26:42.799 --> 02:26:48.280 Ted put keylated iron around.

Bit that's part of 2671 02:27:35.639 --> 02:27:38.280 developing a strong growth and root system at the. Top 2672 02:27:38.360 --> 02:27:40.319 when a new tree is put in the, ground you 2673 02:27:40.360 --> 02:27:42.840 don't want it to be perfectly, still but you don't 2674 02:27:42.879 --> 02:27:45.920 have to move too. Far and three sixty tree stabilizer 2675 02:27:46.040 --> 02:27:50.079 allows that. Movement it has a soft, strap you're knocking 2676 02:27:50.159 --> 02:27:52.200 to damage the trunk like you will with wires and, 2677 02:27:52.319 --> 02:27:56.440 things trying to hold the tree. Still and whatever size 2678 02:27:56.440 --> 02:28:00.280 of the tree, is that's a younger, tree it's going 2679 02:28:00.360 --> 02:28:03.719 to adjust to fit. That the arm goes, longer, shorter 2680 02:28:04.000 --> 02:28:07.600 the straps go wider or, smaller and it just. Works 2681 02:28:07.840 --> 02:28:09.879 you're going to find these at plants for all.

These i've got two of them right now 2690 02:28:32.239 --> 02:28:36.319 that are in new citrus trees and my, landscape And 2691 02:28:36.399 --> 02:28:39.120 i'm about to put another one out on a tree 2692 02:28:39.159 --> 02:28:40.719 THAT i pruned a lot and it's got a, long 2693 02:28:40.840 --> 02:28:44.600 lanky trunk now and needs some stabilization that allows some. 2694 02:28:44.719 --> 02:28:49.159 Movement three sixty tree. Stabilizer let's see. Here we are 2695 02:28:49.239 --> 02:28:52.200 going to go To andrew And Conro, Now Hello, Andrew 2696 02:28:52.280 --> 02:28:53.239 welcome to garden line. 2697 02:28:54.280 --> 02:28:58.280 MORE i had a couple of questions about trim and 2698 02:28:58.319 --> 02:29:00.639 a peach. Tree, NORMALLY i know you don't do it 2699 02:29:00.680 --> 02:29:03.719 tellor dormant and. Stuff but this YEAR i didn't really 2700 02:29:03.760 --> 02:29:05.840 get a lot of, peaches SO i was kind of 2701 02:29:05.920 --> 02:29:08.559 wondering IF i could do a heavy prune BECAUSE i 2702 02:29:08.639 --> 02:29:10.760 was trying to get some of these scaffold branches back 2703 02:29:10.840 --> 02:29:13.120 down low to like a more manageable. 2704 02:29:13.159 --> 02:29:17.600 Height, yes you can do some pruning now if you need. 2705 02:29:17.680 --> 02:29:21.159 To do you have fruit on it? Currently or did? 2706 02:29:21.200 --> 02:29:24.120 It maybe a handful of peaches per, tree so not 2707 02:29:24.239 --> 02:29:25.639 a lot this. YEAR i didn't say a lot of. 2708 02:29:25.680 --> 02:29:26.120 Bees so. 2709 02:29:27.959 --> 02:29:31.879 The secret to fruit on peaches is sunlight down in the, 2710 02:29:31.959 --> 02:29:34.360 tree and we usually prune them to an open bowl, 2711 02:29:34.440 --> 02:29:38.440 shape an open chalice, shape so cutting out any water. 2712 02:29:38.559 --> 02:29:41.559 Sprout so that's that kind of blondish colored wood that 2713 02:29:41.719 --> 02:29:44.879 shoots straight up to the sky and grows. Fast take 2714 02:29:44.959 --> 02:29:47.799 those out where they. Attach you want small things that 2715 02:29:47.920 --> 02:29:50.520 ARE i don't, know maybe not even a quarter inch in, 2716 02:29:50.639 --> 02:29:55.840 diameter that grows slower and get that reddish burgundy color to. 2717 02:29:55.959 --> 02:29:59.440 Them that's fruiting types of wood and you're gonna have 2718 02:29:59.479 --> 02:30:01.280 to do it over and over again through the summer 2719 02:30:01.399 --> 02:30:05.360 to keep light into the interior of the. Tree but, 2720 02:30:05.520 --> 02:30:08.239 yes you can do some pruning in small amounts now 2721 02:30:08.600 --> 02:30:10.159 and then in the, future try to get most of 2722 02:30:10.200 --> 02:30:10.719 it done in the. 2723 02:30:10.719 --> 02:30:14.639 Winter, Right so probably don't try to take a third 2724 02:30:14.680 --> 02:30:17.120 of a scaffold branch off to bring it back. Down 2725 02:30:17.239 --> 02:30:18.000 that's probably a little too. 2726 02:30:18.079 --> 02:30:23.719 Much oh, boy you could do. It if you won't do, 2727 02:30:23.840 --> 02:30:27.000 that do, it but remember all the new growths can 2728 02:30:27.079 --> 02:30:29.239 be out at the end, anyway so you kind of 2729 02:30:29.319 --> 02:30:33.639 don't accomplish a whole. Lot you can lean some branches 2730 02:30:33.680 --> 02:30:35.680 out a little, bit open it up when you get 2731 02:30:35.760 --> 02:30:39.280 sunlight down in the. Interior you're going to develop growth 2732 02:30:39.399 --> 02:30:42.079 down there in. Time but as long as the branches 2733 02:30:42.079 --> 02:30:44.280 are growing straight, up the lower areas are just not 2734 02:30:44.360 --> 02:30:46.799 going to develop good. Growth all. 2735 02:30:46.879 --> 02:30:48.600 Right, Yeah i'm just trying to do it before it. 2736 02:30:49.319 --> 02:30:51.760 DOES i don't have fruit this, year but it wouldn't 2737 02:30:51.760 --> 02:30:53.360 be a big, deal so, OKAY i appreciate. 2738 02:30:53.399 --> 02:30:55.879 It, yeah all, right good luck with, that and thanks 2739 02:30:55.920 --> 02:30:58.879 for the.
