Yeah, 28 00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:28.640 and she says they have been so busy because they 29 00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:32.799 have taken Lord glasses advice by getting their soil tested exactly. 30 00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:35.400 Oh yeah, boom boom boom, bag by a bag by bag, 31 00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:36.519 sample by sample by. 32 00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:38.159 Yeah, because they're getting her done. 33 00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:41.879 That way, you have a basis and the knowledge of 34 00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:45.079 what's going on down there. They're listening, and it's a 35 00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:48.560 good way to prevent failure is to plan for success. 36 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.480 And that's uh, starting with the dirt to the absolute first. 37 00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:55.519 That's that's the environment you're working with. 38 00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:56.400 Both exactly. 39 00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:00.200 Anyway, danallions, they're making a really big show and I 40 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:01.920 usually cocked the window and see them. 41 00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:06.159 Yeah, we mowed a couple of down yesterday. 42 00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:10.520 And actually dandelions are not weeds. They are considered wild 43 00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:14.360 vegetables and according to the USDA, dandelions are more nutritious 44 00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:15.599 than broccoli and spinach. 45 00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:18.759 I'm not willing to try. I don't know. 46 00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:24.759 Why dandelions attract birds and deer, and in Fueblo, Colorado, 47 00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:29.199 is illegal to grow dandelions. But I'll be out working. 48 00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:31.479 I'll just pick them up and lose up and eat them. 49 00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:33.400 Pick up the leaves and eat them. 50 00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:41.800 Really, Yes, good stuff go good with ranch. Yeah, yeah, bacon. 51 00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:45.599 Well anyway, so the factory, they're pretty healthy. I'm not 52 00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:47.199 saying anybody needs eat on their hands and needs and 53 00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:48.039 eat their Danaalians. 54 00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:50.759 But still next thing, you know, we've got toddlers. 55 00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:56.599 My granddaughter they were out, they're out in the backyard 56 00:02:56.599 --> 00:02:58.000 and she is picking the leaves and. 57 00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:01.240 My daughter had to stop her. 58 00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:05.639 From don't need that, No, don't need that, because for 59 00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:10.479 the little girls, she really likes her, like everything goes there. 60 00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:15.080 She likes her vegetables too. Anyway, So to dandelions, they're 61 00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:17.080 not that bad a deal. They're They're just kind of 62 00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:20.400 a nuisance and when it's really wet and rainy, you 63 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:23.400 can kind of pull them up. They've actually had special 64 00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:25.000 tools dig up dandelions. 65 00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:26.840 I got to invest in those. 66 00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:35.280 Yeah, I've got some of my house that are quite rusty, but. 67 00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:34.840 I just got to tolerate them. They're kind of pretty. 68 00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:37.719 But anyway, in the garden, right now that now that 69 00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:40.840 you're soiled, is ready, I assume you have your your 70 00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:42.759 your beds all ready for your angle to be. 71 00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:47.159 Plenty as soon as he did. I watched her do it. 72 00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:52.759 Okay, all right, anyway, afraid of hurt myself. 73 00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:54.840 I think at this point in time, we're relatively safe. 74 00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:56.919 Looking at the poecast. It's not going to get down 75 00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:58.680 really cold the next few days. 76 00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:02.560 So today is the twelfth, So in three days it's 77 00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:07.840 tax time. Anyway, mine are done. All I gotta do 78 00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:13.240 is sign checks. Gosh, I did, yes, snarl but anyway, yeah, 79 00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:14.560 it's it's stay. 80 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:17.079 To Oakley, Hilm. We got half of my paycheck. Is 81 00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:21.079 I can't wait till you get that state thing down 82 00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:21.600 to the zero. 83 00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.439 Yeah, that'd be nice. 84 00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:26.800 Yet then we spend more money on flowers and things, 85 00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:28.240 you bet, you bet, and. 86 00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:30.360 Then they get the sales tax money, so they'll come 87 00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:32.800 back to it. Yeah. But anyway, back back to the 88 00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:34.600 way to go. What are we talking about? 89 00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:39.439 Oh yeah, get the best, Yeah, get the beds ready 90 00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:39.680 to go. 91 00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:43.279 If your soil is real difficult to work at this point, 92 00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.000 the moisture content is really good in the soil right now. 93 00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:49.319 And if you're having a difficult time preparing your soil 94 00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:51.480 and the other word, digging it with a shovel, it 95 00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:54.439 sounds like it needs a little bit of help. And 96 00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:58.399 that's where compost comes in. And we have a compost 97 00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:01.560 in bags. We also have an we also have compost 98 00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:06.319 in bulk. It's pretty cool stuff and you can shovel 99 00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:08.079 it in a bucket or you can just take some 100 00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:10.160 bags on either one and blend it with your soil. 101 00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:13.199 So when you plant your annuals, you should be able 102 00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:16.399 to take your hand and reach into the soil very 103 00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:20.759 easily take out some soil for your annuals to do well. Yeah, 104 00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:23.279 you can't really use a drill bit and just pop 105 00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:24.600 them into clay. 106 00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:26.399 They just won't work that way. 107 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:28.480 Say you want to make sure the soil is very 108 00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:33.639 well prepared when you plant your annuals. Okay, the weather 109 00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:36.040 looks clear, no prosts. After you get them in the ground, 110 00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:39.120 you might consider mulching too. Moltching helps. That's kind of 111 00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:43.560 a flywheel effect on the water loss in your soil. 112 00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:46.759 In other words, it's real high and kind of a 113 00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:48.800 if you picture a sine laid. 114 00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:50.480 It's relatively flat. 115 00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:52.519 But if you don't have molts, you got a lot 116 00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:56.720 of moisture and then quickly it goes away, so it's 117 00:05:56.839 --> 00:06:00.000 very sharp and plants really can't tell it. Most plants, 118 00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:02.759 especially your angels, really can't tolerate that kind of an 119 00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:07.439 inconsistency and the soil moisture content, So the multi provides 120 00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:10.399 that consistently does it acts as a blanket to keep 121 00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:12.160 the soil temperature fairly constant. 122 00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:15.240 And it also helps to prevent water loss too. 123 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:19.240 And I don't know if if you're really relished a 124 00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:23.240 thought of going through more water rationing this year, but no, 125 00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:24.879 we really don't want to do that. So if we 126 00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:28.040 want to do what we can to preserve the water 127 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:30.800 as much as possible. And the moultch does a good job. 128 00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:33.680 It looks nice too, it's a really good backdrop. And 129 00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:39.360 moltch also helps control weeds et cetera, et cetera too, 130 00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:41.879 And the birds like to build nests out of it. 131 00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:48.839 So yet that so anyway, watch out for sprouting hackberry trees. 132 00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:49.759 That's all I gotta say. 133 00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:52.399 With the birds come in yeah, oh and they are, 134 00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:54.160 They're everywhere. 135 00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:55.879 So. 136 00:06:57.720 --> 00:06:59.240 So that's kind of what's going on with the nursery. 137 00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:04.279 We have eight of plants too, and we're out of cannibals. 138 00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:06.759 I sold all of them. I took them up out 139 00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:09.160 of my yard and put them in a crate people. 140 00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:10.000 They really liked it. 141 00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:12.920 They get much of a demand, I'll let them have 142 00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:20.560 some more, okay. But anyway, so yeah, yeah, gone to 143 00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:25.040 So what were we talking about. Oh, that's the nursery herbs, 144 00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:28.560 new flowering trees. We have lavender plants, lots of lavender plants, 145 00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:31.240 really nice, lots of perennials. The annuals are starting to arrive. 146 00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:34.680 It is prime planting time. Get those tomatoes out pretty 147 00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:37.800 soon too. We've got quite a few tomatoes from which 148 00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:41.920 to choose also, So I like to wait for the 149 00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:43.920 ground to warm up a little bit for tomatoes, and 150 00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:46.720 the night tent temperature to kissed consistently in the fifties 151 00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:50.560 at least, because they can't take up potassium when it's 152 00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:53.839 really cold, and the leaves trying to turn purple. But 153 00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:56.079 you notice if you plant your tomatoes early and it 154 00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:58.959 does that, they just kind of stopped growing and they 155 00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:01.439 had this purple tinged to them. As soon as it 156 00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:06.360 warms up at night, they just take off. So but 157 00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:07.120 you can still do it. 158 00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:07.920 You still do it. 159 00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:11.399 Let's we'll just sit there if it's cool. 160 00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:15.160 And last night was what forty five or something, Yeah, 161 00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:15.879 forty five. 162 00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:18.360 And during the course of the week, it's going to 163 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:19.120 be in the forties. 164 00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:19.920 Forties. 165 00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:21.920 Yeah, you can go ahead and plant them, but they 166 00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:25.759 really won't grow very much until the nighttime temperatures get 167 00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:30.199 pretty much established. And also right now, if you forget 168 00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:33.519 about your crabgrass control. As cool as it is right now, 169 00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:35.720 I don't see a lot of crabgrass coming up except 170 00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:36.279 in your yard. 171 00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:40.360 Yeahug I dug that thing up as fast as I could. 172 00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:43.879 Be going, so the crag rats is not really up yet, 173 00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:46.240 so you still have the window to control that. Some 174 00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:49.039 pro diamine will do a good job of that to 175 00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:50.919 control the crabgrass, and you want to get it in, 176 00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:51.879 you want to get it watered. 177 00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:52.600 Yeah. 178 00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:55.399 If you're going to establish grass seed, though, do not 179 00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:58.039 use a pre emergent because it'll stop the grass seed from. 180 00:08:57.960 --> 00:09:00.919 Coming up too. The emergent. 181 00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:06.600 Urbside does not discriminate between species, so your grass will 182 00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:10.639 not grow. New grass will not grow after you put 183 00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:13.080 that on there. So you just had to put up 184 00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:16.440 with weeds to get a lot of there you go. 185 00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:20.559 So that's kind of it with lawns. Right now, the 186 00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:24.240 bermunigrass is just starting to grow, so it's too late 187 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:25.799 to use round up on Pole Annual. 188 00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:30.679 Pole Annual is that there's a little green tufts here 189 00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:31.000 and there. 190 00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:33.600 You can still use some round up on it if 191 00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:38.120 you shield it. In other words, I get a pipe 192 00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:41.159 section and put it on the ground and spray it 193 00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:46.159 into there to get precisely precise application of the round 194 00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:49.600 up will control pole Annual not harming the bermunograss. You'll 195 00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:52.519 still have a bare spots from the bermuni grass, but 196 00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:55.480 it'll fill in pretty quickly. But if you just kind 197 00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:59.639 of spray it, it can cause more lateral damage rather 198 00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:02.679 than don't want that specific problems. 199 00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:04.919 And another thing, I just use a claw hammer to. 200 00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:09.559 Pull it up anyway, the hands and age with a hammer. 201 00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:12.240 Now, what are you doing the neighbors. 202 00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:13.879 Detailing my life? 203 00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:15.639 Don't mind. 204 00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:16.720 I'm busy. 205 00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:19.360 So that's probably what I'll be doing tomorrow. I got 206 00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:23.720 some weeds coming up in the yard. It looks kind 207 00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:27.360 of abandoned. Maybe get it all picked up. 208 00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:29.200 Arms are starting to look like some kind of a 209 00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:31.600 prairie grass experiment there for a while. 210 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:32.799 But really it's looking on. 211 00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:34.519 There's a little bit of everything going on there. 212 00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:35.799 But we had to. 213 00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:38.000 Take care of it. 214 00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:39.919 It was running my mower and the mower and the 215 00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:43.840 belt broke on it, and I had to literally take 216 00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:45.759 half the thing apart to get the belt on it. 217 00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:50.840 And I've got battle scars from that tell. 218 00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:54.360 But I got a new belt if we can just 219 00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:57.320 find the old thirty some year old on bowers working 220 00:10:57.360 --> 00:11:04.320 just finally blew out a belt. So when mowing your 221 00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:07.000 yard right now, you can cut it relatively low. It's 222 00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:09.960 still relatively cool, so fest grass to be cut fairly low. 223 00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:13.480 The bermuda grass is just now starting to emerge, so 224 00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:17.200 you might consider a defach on the bermuda grass. 225 00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:19.679 I'll be doing that to mine probably here the next 226 00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:20.279 couple of weeks. 227 00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:22.279 But you like to do that every about two or 228 00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:22.799 three years. 229 00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:26.960 Defatch about every three years. Scalping maybe every year, but 230 00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:29.960 this year it's the third years. It's time for a defatch. 231 00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:31.320 Gets the works done to it. 232 00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:33.240 Huh. Yeah. 233 00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:35.600 I got this little machine that's got all these wires 234 00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:37.600 in it takes care of that point. 235 00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:40.320 Yeah. It does a good job. So anyway, so that's 236 00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:43.639 got to happen too. I got a lot a lot 237 00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:44.639 going on right now. 238 00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:47.240 It's a very busy time of here, and you can 239 00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:49.559 cut the bermuda grass fairly low. Right now, you can 240 00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:52.399 also cut the fiscue little bit low. Right now, it's 241 00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:56.000 relatively cool, but as time goes on, they'll you don't 242 00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:57.840 want to consider raising. 243 00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:01.039 The level up a little bit higher, especially in the 244 00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:04.480 shade or in part shade. You really can't have a 245 00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:06.360 very low growing land. 246 00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:10.480 There's just not enough light and the sunlight is really 247 00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:14.679 what propels the plant photosynthesis and it requires light for 248 00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:17.080 it to occur, and if you can't do that, it 249 00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:21.240 gets kind of dies out. So you want to, especially 250 00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:25.399 in the shade, make sure to raise that mower up 251 00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:28.399 so in the heat of it the grass to do 252 00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:32.879 a lot better. The surface area on the grass also 253 00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:36.480 acts as a radiator to help keep it cool. Members 254 00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:40.279 still mata, those little tiny pores and the leaves, that 255 00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:42.919 sort of water comes out and through evaporation that helps 256 00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:45.159 keep it cool. That's why when you're walking on the 257 00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:48.519 grass it feels relatively cool, is because it's just one 258 00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:55.360 big old radiator to help keep the grass itself cool. 259 00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:59.639 So that's one reason why you want to progressively get 260 00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:06.320 its tall until it's about six feet tall, right, no, 261 00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:08.960 three inches max really okay, two to and a half 262 00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:13.919 three inches to be okay. For summertime lawns. 263 00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:16.320 Well, let's take a break here. It is a eight 264 00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:19.039 twenty one.

How's the drainage? Do 334 00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:39.039 they have a sprink or system to want a sprinkler system? 335 00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:41.440 What are their preferences as far as planting is concerned. 336 00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:43.879 Another word, do they want to have a lot of 337 00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:46.639 annual beds or do they want to. 338 00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:50.759 Just have just shrubs. 339 00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:53.639 So it starts kind of with an interview with the 340 00:16:53.679 --> 00:17:00.879 customer just at you just find out what it is 341 00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:03.480 there after in the length, everybody has their different purposes. 342 00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:05.440 Some people so I want a lot of perennials, really 343 00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:07.759 like to play in the perennials, and some one, you know, 344 00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:09.799 another person down so I don't want. 345 00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:12.480 To do anything. I just wanted to look nice year. 346 00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:18.440 I forget about it, no bugs, so and and and so. 347 00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:21.640 What I do is measure the get get a few 348 00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:24.039 measurements on the property, and a lot of times if 349 00:17:24.519 --> 00:17:27.920 it's here, I can get satellite imagery and overlay that 350 00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:31.640 on that to make a map. You get pretty accurate 351 00:17:31.640 --> 00:17:34.880 with that too. So you what you need to do 352 00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:39.799 is take a measurement on your property, pairty long distance 353 00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:42.960 on that and then you go to to the to 354 00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:46.359 the map thing and then I can scale that up 355 00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:50.519 and down on a on a program you put a 356 00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:52.480 point here and a point there, and you say how 357 00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:54.680 long is this and say, well, it's twenty five feet 358 00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:58.000 and it'll blow it out, it'll make it the scale. 359 00:17:58.279 --> 00:17:58.799 Wow. 360 00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:03.920 But that's not always enough information. There's a ins and 361 00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:05.720 outs on the houses that you can't see it for 362 00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:08.359 the roof line, which you have to measure for that 363 00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:11.240 and take pictures and so on, and trees get in the. 364 00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:12.160 Way and stuff like that. 365 00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:13.680 So got that. 366 00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:17.319 Yeah, But sometimes it's really easy to determine a property 367 00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:20.279 boundary by the quality of the grass. 368 00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:27.440 We have two completely different colors here. 369 00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:28.720 And fence lines too. 370 00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:31.960 You can project a fence line out that Most people's 371 00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:36.160 properties are fairly straight on that. Once the base information 372 00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:39.200 is down, then I take the information from the initial 373 00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:43.319 interview and come up with a set of plants that 374 00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:44.480 will fit those needs. 375 00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:47.799 What do they want?
