Speaker 2: And welcome to Green Country Gardener here on this Saturday,
Speaker 2: June twenty first. Nathan Thompson, Larry Glass here taking your
Speaker 2: calls related to anything going out in the yard, gardening, landscaping,
Speaker 2: whatever it might be.
Speaker 3: You can give us a call.
Speaker 2: Nine and eight three six fourteen hundred, three six fourteen
Speaker 2: hundred broadcasting live on.
Speaker 3: K one and k GGF. Good morning, Larry, how are you.
Speaker 4: Good morning, Nathan doing okay this morning?
Speaker 2: Oh good, I've kind of been running around here and
Speaker 2: making sure run during the last call in show.
Speaker 4: To a marathon runner.
Speaker 3: Exactly good thing. I got my running shoes on today.
Speaker 2: But I'm telling you, yeah, during the last show, I
Speaker 2: wasn't seeing that our phones were ringing because you know,
Speaker 2: used to we had this blinky light that.
Speaker 3: Would let me light the blinking light. We don't have
Speaker 3: that anymore, and so that made me still up there.
Speaker 3: It's still there. Just just plug it into it doesn't
Speaker 3: work with our news sister.
Speaker 2: Oh boy, So yeah, I think I've fixed it here
Speaker 2: though for a Green Country Gardener. So if you do
Speaker 2: have a call question, give me a call and make
Speaker 2: sure that we get it done.
Speaker 3: Man, Larry, we've had so much rain here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, apparently I know. It was his weight anchor for
Speaker 4: a while. So it's getting a little hot, little kind
Speaker 4: of extreme kind of thing going. Yep, So your plants
Speaker 4: are kind of used to all this rain we've had. There,
Speaker 4: you go, look at that, Look at that her.
Speaker 3: Good morning. You're on the air with Green Country Gardener.
Speaker 3: How can we help you?
Speaker 5: Hi, Well, my tomato plants don't look very good. They
Speaker 5: don't get tomatoes on them, but the leaves are still tiny.
Speaker 5: And I have put some fertilizer on them, but the
Speaker 5: leaves are just bite. They're not doing very well.
Speaker 4: Is there any any purple color on the leaves at all?
Speaker 4: Any pera?
Speaker 5: No, Okay, they're green, but they're just so small what
Speaker 5: they normally are.
Speaker 4: It sounds to be like the root system has been
Speaker 4: compromised somehow. That could either be from all the rain
Speaker 4: we've had and not being able to really grow because
Speaker 4: it's been too wet, or get enough air or insect. Yeah,
Speaker 4: not enough air. So what you probably want to do
Speaker 4: is gently prepare the soil. Not necessarily. We're close to
Speaker 4: the flat, but kind of a way from the plant,
Speaker 4: so it does have a chance to dry out a
Speaker 4: little bit and get some root growth going on it.
Speaker 4: And what you don't want to do is apply a
Speaker 4: nitrogen fertilizer because then you won't get Bravey tats. But
Speaker 4: tomato fertilizer for SAE would help a little bit too.
Speaker 4: And a lot of people are having problems with their
Speaker 4: plants after our about with you know, the great flood here.
Speaker 4: So but I think they'll make it through, okay, And
Speaker 4: do you just find we don't.
Speaker 5: Let the sell their lives and they're making tomatoes. They're
Speaker 5: just the leafs are so small. I don't know whether
Speaker 5: they survive the heat when they got.
Speaker 4: That might be a bit of a problem. Yeah, that
Speaker 4: might be a bit of a problem. And I know
Speaker 4: if there's a way you can temporarily shield them a
Speaker 4: little bit from the afternoon sun, that would help.
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, thanks, all right.
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for your call. And look at
Speaker 3: that I got it to work.
Speaker 4: Yeah. See, I asked her if if the leaves are
Speaker 4: turning purple because sometimes a potassium deficiency is also correlated
Speaker 4: to a small leaf size on it too, So no
Speaker 4: purple leaf. So that's not the problem. So it's probably
Speaker 4: the super system has been compromised somewhat from excessive moisture.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So although we still want to mulch it, you don't.
Speaker 4: You want the ground to stay fairly even curve on
Speaker 4: the temperature. We don't want to let the hot sun
Speaker 4: just have such a sudden change. These plants have to
Speaker 4: adapt to that, and a lot of them haven't really
Speaker 4: developed the root system. They haven't had to, and then
Speaker 4: this happens, Yeah, Oklahoma happens of course, hot and dry,
Speaker 4: and they're not they're not prepared to deal with it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, exactly. Well, you know, I've noticed some of
Speaker 2: the similar issues in uh my flowerbed this year. I
Speaker 2: have pagonias and patients and they're doing incredible. My petunias
Speaker 2: are getting the yellow leaves at the bottom, and I
Speaker 2: think that's just because we've had that overabundance of rain
Speaker 2: and that's just causing a little bit root rot. And
Speaker 2: now my hanging petunias are fine, they're fine, But but
Speaker 2: the ones who are actually in my flowerbed are not.
Speaker 2: In fact, those are the most pitiful looking petunias I've
Speaker 2: ever planted. And I actually for the ones in the
Speaker 2: flower in my flower bed in front of my house.
Speaker 2: I actually spent the extra money and got the ones
Speaker 2: that were more mature and and and fuller, and that.
Speaker 3: This was the first year I've done that, So I
Speaker 3: don't think I'm going to do that again. Larry.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what you do, just loosen up the soil around them. Okay,
Speaker 4: just take a tater for la or your or your
Speaker 4: wife's fine silverware. There you go, yeah, from here, and
Speaker 4: loosen up the soil. Let's let it air out a
Speaker 4: little bit.
Speaker 2: Well, I I I think I think the petunias I
Speaker 2: only put planted two petunia plants in my in my
Speaker 2: flower bed all the rest of our bigonias and impatience.
Speaker 2: I was trying for this red, white and blue look
Speaker 2: this year, and so I had the red pagoonias, of course,
Speaker 2: and I got the waxy ones that are good and
Speaker 2: more more sunshine. Because my my house faces the west
Speaker 2: flower bed is on the west side of the house.
Speaker 2: The patients are absolutely gorgeous this year. Sun patients, Yeah,
Speaker 2: sun patients.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 2: And the but but the petunias that they were, the
Speaker 2: ones with the blue flower, and yeah, they I think.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to pull them. Actually, I think they're beyond.
Speaker 4: Checks out and say, okay, it could just be over
Speaker 4: too much. Not an effort system yet.
Speaker 3: Sure, sure, because I mean I did, like I do
Speaker 3: every year.
Speaker 2: You know, I've turned the soil. I replaced my entire
Speaker 2: flower bed soil last year with potting soil. I know, right,
Speaker 2: I don't have that big of a fountain.
Speaker 3: It's not that big.
Speaker 2: It's about five acres, no, about twenty five foot long
Speaker 2: and maybe five foot deep, and so so yeah, I
Speaker 2: tilted all up and then I put all brand new
Speaker 2: potting soil in last year, mulch on top of it,
Speaker 2: and I used a of course, the Miracle Grow Great
Speaker 2: formula that you do that is little granules that you
Speaker 2: water that gets into the and.
Speaker 4: And provides nutrition.
Speaker 2: So this year I did not turn my soil, I
Speaker 2: just because it was still healthy. Did not turn my
Speaker 2: malts either. Maybe maybe that's part of the problems too,
Speaker 2: but uh, and then you know, refertilized again. But those petunias,
Speaker 2: even since I planted them, they were not as healthy
Speaker 2: as my.
Speaker 3: Petunias were last year.
Speaker 4: This sounds like the successive water.
Speaker 3: I think so.
Speaker 2: And I think that kind of gets us into our
Speaker 2: first topic is talking about root rot.
Speaker 5: What what are.
Speaker 4: Such?
Speaker 2: I know, I mean some people who may be new
Speaker 2: to gardening, they don't know what that is, what the
Speaker 2: signs are, and and so talk a little bit for me.
Speaker 3: You know, what are the signs of root rot and
Speaker 3: what can we do to resolve that?
Speaker 4: Real diminished leaf size is one symptom of it. And
Speaker 4: also the leaves closer to the to the to the
Speaker 4: rich they kind of shrivel up and die first. And
Speaker 4: and it's real wiggly in other words, intensive flop around
Speaker 4: a little more than it should. Another another words, Hello,
Speaker 4: the rest are not established yet. Now, when you do
Speaker 4: plant your annuals, you do need to turn the soil
Speaker 4: over to let it airrate, if you will, And that's
Speaker 4: best done actually in January and February unless you have
Speaker 4: something planted in there. And and the freeze does a
Speaker 4: good job of breaking up a soil and all that too,
Speaker 4: So you probably have really nice weeds too, no doubt.
Speaker 3: Hey, we're not talking about weeds right now. That that's
Speaker 3: that's the rest of my yard.
Speaker 4: You know, if you're on the west side and it
Speaker 4: starts to get hot like this and you want to
Speaker 4: put something else in, you might consider pair of winkles
Speaker 4: that they can talk, they can tolerate the heat, but
Speaker 4: they cannot tolerate the cool or the wet. Right, So
Speaker 4: we we just brought a couple of tables full of
Speaker 4: met the nursery to sell so that that they can
Speaker 4: be planted when the conditions are good. Now, so paarawinkles
Speaker 4: would be a good alternative, perhaps, And there you go.
Speaker 4: There you go, and I'll show you want to rotate
Speaker 4: your crops. Perhaps, well I did, because you know last
Speaker 4: year that's the turnips. Maybe well maybe, I.
Speaker 3: Mean last year I planted all patunias, but but I
Speaker 3: also had a you know, I forgot the name of
Speaker 3: the flower. No, it's Dahlia, that's it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I had a dalia and so I didn't
Speaker 2: do that this year, only put two petunias in and
Speaker 2: just did pagonias and impatience.
Speaker 3: So right, yeah, there you go.
Speaker 4: Anyway, it's just just the wet weather. So yeah, that's
Speaker 4: not much you can do. Just make sure that you
Speaker 4: do your ground print before. Even though he's really good stuff,
Speaker 4: you still want to break away the molt and turn
Speaker 4: it over there.
Speaker 6: You go cool.
Speaker 2: Whenever we come back, we'll talk about what's going on
Speaker 2: out at the nursery, and we'll talk about round up
Speaker 2: Oh boy right here on Green Country Gardener.
Speaker 3: We'll be back after this two minute break on K

Speaker 2: I know that's your favorite song, right I prefer Mozart, Mozart, Okay,
Speaker 2: Mozart for a bumper music. They welcome back to Country Gardener.
Speaker 2: You're on K one and KGGF. Nathan Thompson our gardening
Speaker 2: experts Larry Glass in studio as well answering your questions
Speaker 2: about anything dealing with your.
Speaker 3: Garden, your lawn, landscaping, whatever.
Speaker 2: I'm sure you probably could even ask him a question
Speaker 2: outside of that area of expertise and he'll make it
Speaker 2: sound good.
Speaker 3: It may not be right, but.
Speaker 2: He can give us called nine eight three three six
Speaker 2: fourteen hundred nine eight three three six fourteen hundred lines
Speaker 2: are open for you right now, Larry.
Speaker 3: What's going on out at the nursery at the nursery
Speaker 3: container and bald burlight trees can be planted at any
Speaker 3: time now.
Speaker 4: We planned a whole bunch of stuff last week and
Speaker 4: is doing okay.
Speaker 3: Good and they didn't get blown over by the winds.
Speaker 4: We staked them up. Oh good, now, tree saking is
Speaker 4: something that some people kind of forget.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, and especially on new growth and wait.
Speaker 4: What's meant the whole day earlier in midweek or so
Speaker 4: saking up trees.
Speaker 5: Good.
Speaker 4: Yeah. So anyway, it's a local home of people, of course,
Speaker 4: of course, and typically we give the people the option
Speaker 4: to have a steaked or not they themselves whatever we get,
Speaker 4: or we bring our tea posts out and put some
Speaker 4: tea posts in and put the north and south. So
Speaker 4: we're doing a landscape job. And even before all this
Speaker 4: stuff hit we put steaks just as a practice of
Speaker 4: installing trees no problems good. Otherwise it would be all
Speaker 4: it's tilted, like oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, I mean that's why you're the guarding expert.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you have it's an important reminder. If
Speaker 2: you just recently planted a tree in your yard and
Speaker 2: you do it yourself and not have a professional do it,
Speaker 2: you do need to stake that down.
Speaker 4: Yeah. We do offer it for a fifteen dollars option. Yeah.
Speaker 4: If you've seen the cost of a teapot lately, that
Speaker 4: it's a pretty good deal.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So anyway, it's a good practice to the plant trees
Speaker 4: and if if you decide not to have a steak
Speaker 4: it then blows over. There are significantly higher charges to
Speaker 4: come out and do that. I bet yes, so so anyway,
Speaker 4: so anyway, take.
Speaker 3: It's better to do it right the first time then
Speaker 3: to have somebody come out and fix your error.
Speaker 4: If the tree is say as big around as this
Speaker 4: a coke bottle or larger, you want to use three
Speaker 4: teapots one two, three, with one to the south that's
Speaker 4: typically where the wind come. Of course, there's no typicality
Speaker 4: as far as the wind location anywhere. And then and
Speaker 4: then two one hundred and apart each of them, and
Speaker 4: we use I just sew baling wire and a little
Speaker 4: section of garden hose to cushion the trade. And then
Speaker 4: you can adjust the tension on the tea posts and
Speaker 4: it's very effective. We planted the tree probably the trunk
Speaker 4: diameter it was, you know, four inch, and you're fine.
Speaker 3: Well, good, good? What else is going on out there?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 4: Hosts good selection of hosses right now, and some encres
Speaker 4: alias that will begin in to show actually some bud
Speaker 4: swelled and blooming coming on the encore alias. You treat
Speaker 4: them like regulars alias and they you know, in other words,
Speaker 4: there there. They require acid soil, right right, So I
Speaker 4: can't think of the term for that, but irroicacious is
Speaker 4: the word, yes, and that means they require an acid soil.
Speaker 4: We plant them is a significant amount of peat moss,
Speaker 4: but pete moss has just really really gotten really expensive,
Speaker 4: so we use some shredded bark pine bark with it.
Speaker 4: The mixture of that kind of lower the costs of
Speaker 4: the initial installation a little bit. So they do need
Speaker 4: to be planted in peat moths and you mount it
Speaker 4: up in the in the in the in the ground,
Speaker 4: and uh, to get it wet, we use a surfactant
Speaker 4: to the water to make it absorb the water real better,
Speaker 4: real better.
Speaker 2: That's that's that's not a lot better, a lot better.
Speaker 3: Yes, that's why you're the gardening that shirt and the
Speaker 3: grammar exactly.
Speaker 4: So there's the fact that helps the water absorb. Otherwise
Speaker 4: the water just kind of bounces off of the peat
Speaker 4: moster because that is a negative charge, and so there's water.
Speaker 4: So you give the water a positive charge. It's a
Speaker 4: little bit of soap. It soaks it up. So anyway,
Speaker 4: get that ready and then it'll settle down, you know.
Speaker 4: A gall They they need to go back and buy
Speaker 4: another battle of peat moss settled down. But anyways, so
Speaker 4: that's how we do. We plant them in solid peat
Speaker 4: moths as much as possible, but peat moss and shredded bark,
Speaker 4: and you do a preparation about as big a round
Speaker 4: as a bushel basket and about a foot deeper.
Speaker 2: So yeah, and you know that that's actually a good
Speaker 2: a good mixture for for maulch as well. You do
Speaker 2: your your peats and then put a little bit of
Speaker 2: the wood in there too, for a lot of varieties.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's what I do in my flower bad.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we like to use the shredded feedar that has
Speaker 4: a step that the bugs don't like and it looks
Speaker 4: kind of nice too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go, there you go.
Speaker 4: All right, what about as first fertilized fertilizing yoursilias's time
Speaker 4: for the second fertilization. You did one in the spring,
Speaker 4: and a month, let you do another one. Then a month,
Speaker 4: let you do another one. So you don't fertilize them
Speaker 4: all at once because they are very shallow rooted. You
Speaker 4: fertilize them just a little bit at a time. Because
Speaker 4: you know what what happens if you over furliss, they
Speaker 4: just burn up.
Speaker 3: They burn up. Yeah, I see that so many times.
Speaker 4: And you can see this drive up fertilizer right on
Speaker 4: the trunk somebody. People think that you're feeding your baby
Speaker 4: or something. You put it right on the trunk, But no,
Speaker 4: the feeder roots are out away from the plint. So
Speaker 4: you do a general fertilization over the areas, not a
Speaker 4: specific one for each plant, but a general fertilization so
Speaker 4: those theater roots can take advantage of it. So one
Speaker 4: more time to the Simon month later be the last one.
Speaker 4: But it's a light fertilization. You don't want to show
Speaker 4: them if you will. What about high biscus hardy have biscuits. Yeah,
Speaker 4: must shadows is a genus for those, and they are
Speaker 4: related to high biscuits. They're related to Rosa sharon. They're
Speaker 4: related to okra and cotton. Interesting every.
Speaker 2: Okra, cotton, high biscus And what did you say the
Speaker 2: other one was relate to iseia too?
Speaker 14: Right?
Speaker 4: No? Yes, okay, no, no, I thought you said they
Speaker 4: were talking about anyway.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm going off your notes, Bud. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I said hardy high.
Speaker 4: Biscuits hardi biscuits. Yeah, it's hard. Hibiscus is a native
Speaker 4: plant in the United States, and they're noted for the
Speaker 4: other large blooms and bloom for further long period of time.
Speaker 4: They're related to the Rosa sharon, which is another.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, that's okay, Roses sharon okra and cotton. Uh yeah.
Speaker 4: Bscus syriacus is Rosa sharon hibiscus most shadows is the
Speaker 4: hard biscus. Wow. And oak's just just good.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's it's really good. It's really good, all right, Larry.
Speaker 4: Anyway, Yeah, because of that factor, they are very they
Speaker 4: tolerate our climate real well. Give them room to grow though,
Speaker 4: it's just give them room to grow. And I have
Speaker 4: some of my house have been there for years and
Speaker 4: they bloomed, the big old blossoms on them every year
Speaker 4: a long period of time. Actually, it's not one of
Speaker 4: those flash and dash things. They did bloom for a
Speaker 4: longer period of time.
Speaker 3: That's right, that's right.
Speaker 4: So you might have said that give it room to grow.
Speaker 4: If you put it close to the front door, you
Speaker 4: won't be able to get the piano at the front door,
Speaker 4: so you want to move it somewhere where it has
Speaker 4: a lot of room to grow.
Speaker 3: There you go, There you go.
Speaker 2: But when we come back from our next two minute break,
Speaker 2: we will talk about that round up. And then Larry,
Speaker 2: I'm going to throw a curveball out. We're gonna go
Speaker 2: to the annual of the week because I have a
Speaker 2: couple of questions about that particular variety coming up here
Speaker 2: in this amoment you're listening. You're listening to Green Country

Speaker 2: Welcome back to Green Country Gardener here on this Saturday morning,
Speaker 2: Nathan Thompson.
Speaker 3: Along with our gardening expert Larry Glass.
Speaker 2: If you have a question about your garden or anything landscaping,
Speaker 2: you can give us a call. Nine eight three three
Speaker 2: six fourteen hundred nine and eight three three six fourteen
Speaker 2: hundred Larry.
Speaker 3: Uh, you know, my my yard is mostly weeds. I
Speaker 3: need to learn more about roundup.
Speaker 4: So what.
Speaker 3: What is found up and what does it do?
Speaker 4: Well, that's that's when you gather up and heard a
Speaker 4: bunch of cattle.
Speaker 2: Or or out west of Boroughs or the tall Grass
Speaker 2: Prairie Preserve, they do that to bison.
Speaker 4: They rounded them round Okay. Round Up is the brand
Speaker 4: name of a systemic broad spectrum type herbicide, produced of
Speaker 4: course by Monsanto originally and it's the most widely used
Speaker 4: in the in the world, if you will, and was
Speaker 4: patented in the seventies back when I was in college,
Speaker 4: and marketed from nineteen seventy three and the patent patent
Speaker 4: ran out in two thousand. Okay, and the active ingredient
Speaker 4: of roundup is isopropylene salt of glyphosate.
Speaker 3: Well say that again. I'm just kidding iso propylely.
Speaker 4: See I said propyle aiming, I so propyly I mean
Speaker 4: cultic glapors that yet get it out. Motive action is
Speaker 4: to inhibit an enzyme involved in the synthesis of the
Speaker 4: aminu acids tyrazine, tracylo fan and phenilatelinge. It is a
Speaker 4: sort through foliage and translocated into the growing plants. Okay.
Speaker 4: And because of this mode of action, in other words,
Speaker 4: the way it works, it is effective on actually growing plants.
Speaker 4: It's not affected as a pre emergent or preside and
Speaker 4: any any round up. Basically that histy ground is useless. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 4: as a plant can't draw it up from the root system.
Speaker 4: So that's why when you when you use the roundup
Speaker 4: for weeds, you use a fine spray or sometimes you
Speaker 4: can take a spray or put a cup around it
Speaker 4: so it doesn't drift. Don't do specific applications around up there.
Speaker 3: You don't want to put it up to your sprinkler system.
Speaker 4: Though, right, well, you wipe everything out. It's a non
Speaker 4: selective berber side.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, non selective. That's important, folks. That means it
Speaker 2: will kill your grass, to.
Speaker 4: Kill everything yet, so be careful when you use that.
Speaker 4: It is very effective in its mechanism, and they've actually
Speaker 4: come up with crops that don't are they're not successible
Speaker 4: to that. Apparently they'll generate those three items that round
Speaker 4: up works on amino acids, so they genetic pool them out,
Speaker 4: so it doesn't work on those.
Speaker 3: So unfortunately, won't get rid of your moles either.
Speaker 4: I know no dermatologists for that. Anyway, if you do
Speaker 4: use roundup, I like to use just a fine mist prayer.
Speaker 4: Do it when it's very still in the evening or
Speaker 4: early in the morning or something so the wind doesn't
Speaker 4: blow it around. And when you do apply it, use
Speaker 4: something with a fairly large droplet so the myst doesn't
Speaker 4: go somewhere where you don't want it.
Speaker 3: In your neighbor's yard.
Speaker 4: Really, all that happened to me and my neighbor killed
Speaker 4: my roses. We had these really nice roses over there.
Speaker 4: He wiped them out.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, anyway, like I said, what what happened, would
Speaker 4: you do? Yeah, I guess, I guess they got a
Speaker 4: little rbside on your roses. Well, okay, whatever, I'll get
Speaker 4: the more.
Speaker 3: He wasn't even kind enough to offer to replace your plants.
Speaker 13: That he killed.
Speaker 4: I didn't want to argue the point. He was a
Speaker 4: very good person. It didn't mean to do it, of course,
Speaker 4: just that road just gets a new one.
Speaker 3: And you want to you on a nursery. I mean,
Speaker 3: it's not like they're hard for you to get.
Speaker 4: When you use the round up. A lot of times
Speaker 4: you might want to use a surfactant, okay, sir, facted
Speaker 4: keeps the droplets from bouncing off the little hairy stems.
Speaker 4: In other words, there's some hairy this and harry that
Speaker 4: with little really those kind of hairs, remember that, I guess.
Speaker 11: Uh.
Speaker 4: And it tends to repel the water. So a lot
Speaker 4: of times the round up or the glyphys will have
Speaker 4: a surfactant in it, So you want to read the
Speaker 4: ingredients and see if it does. If it does not,
Speaker 4: you want to supplement it with a surfactant.
Speaker 3: Right now.
Speaker 4: That could be in the form of soap or They
Speaker 4: also make what they called spreader sticker, which is a
Speaker 4: very highly effective and very efficient surfactant better than soap,
Speaker 4: right incrementally, yes, So anyway, so that's that's kind of
Speaker 4: how it works out. To be very careful around your plants.
Speaker 4: Do not spray it on a windy day.
Speaker 3: Good luck here in Oklahoma, right or Kansas that matter.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and try to be very careful around your shrubs now,
Speaker 4: because the mechanism works through leaf absorption. When it gets
Speaker 4: to the ground, it's useless. It biodegrade and goes away.
Speaker 4: So anyway, it can be an effective tool in the landscape.
Speaker 4: So that's good to very rarely do I use it,
Speaker 4: that's good to know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I would.
Speaker 2: I probably just need to have my entire lawn resorted.
Speaker 2: It will just be because you know, I got chickweed.
Speaker 4: I guys, if you got we and this is something
Speaker 4: I bring up to my customers now, then I just
Speaker 4: want to reside in my whole yard. I said, what
Speaker 4: are you going to do to change your watering habits?
Speaker 4: What are you going to do to change your fertilizing habits?
Speaker 4: And what are you going to do to change your
Speaker 4: mowing habits? If you put your side in, if you
Speaker 4: go on the same track you're going, and I have
Speaker 4: seen this a lot of times. If you keep following
Speaker 4: the same track when your loan is unsuccessful, you put
Speaker 4: down sod. Three years later, you're going to be right
Speaker 4: in the same place.
Speaker 2: That's that's good advice. That's good advice, and it's a
Speaker 2: big investment to resaw it as well.
Speaker 4: So yeah, you might. You might consider an irrigation system too,
Speaker 4: And they don't have to be complicated. You can just
Speaker 4: run some pipe on the ground and put a little
Speaker 4: valves here in there if you want to do it manually,
Speaker 4: or you can do it automatically. The drinker timers are inexpensive, and.
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely they are, absolutely are.
Speaker 2: Well, when do we come back, We're going to be
Speaker 2: talking about a plant that I have a couple of
Speaker 2: questions about right here on Green Country Gardener KYFM. A

Speaker 2: And welcome back to Green Country Gardener here on this
Speaker 2: Saturday morning. Nathan Thompson in studio with Larry Glass, our
Speaker 2: gardening expert. And Larry we're going to get right to
Speaker 2: the phones here. We have a question.
Speaker 3: Good morning, you're on the air. How can we help you?
Speaker 19: Yes, I have this flora bunda roses, Yes, and they
Speaker 19: have just bloomed real fottle this year. But do I
Speaker 19: cut that whole branch for just each rose?
Speaker 4: Typically you want to go back below where the last
Speaker 4: flower was. When you cut them back.
Speaker 19: The whole the whole long stem had roses on it.
Speaker 19: They're just loaded this year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was a good year for roses. Actually, yes,
Speaker 4: very much.
Speaker 19: So do I cut the branch off or.
Speaker 4: I would without really looking at it, I don't know.
Speaker 4: I can. I can envision it maybe having just all
Speaker 4: these dead flowers on it, So you might want to
Speaker 4: cut them off individually and look at your branching structure
Speaker 4: and see if you can if you need sham.
Speaker 19: I have my linlight bush. It's probably twenty five years old,
Speaker 19: but it was done fine. All of a sudden, all
Speaker 19: the leaves have turned brown, like have they gotten too
Speaker 19: much water?
Speaker 4: That's probably mildew from the from the excessive moisture. Oh,
Speaker 4: I need to spread they get they have a bad,
Speaker 4: bad habit of having mildew on them. Not really, it's
Speaker 4: going to dry out and I think they'll be okay.
Speaker 19: I have an orchid, Yeah, and there's quit booming and
Speaker 19: it's getting a new lead. But do I cut that
Speaker 19: long stem off that that other bloom was on.
Speaker 4: You might cut off the remnants of the flower. But
Speaker 4: yet the orchids have a very slow metasolism. It's kind
Speaker 4: of like the sloth of landscape or plants. They're very slow,
Speaker 4: so give it time.
Speaker 19: I shouldn't cut that long.
Speaker 4: I would just cut off the old bloom. Yeah, it
Speaker 4: has leaves on, It has leaves on it does.
Speaker 19: It well, it's the leaves were all at the bottom. Okay,
Speaker 19: but uh, it's getting a new leave, so I got Well,
Speaker 19: it doesn't look like there's any knobs on that stem
Speaker 19: like there might be something from out of it.
Speaker 4: There's probably just a really large blossom petiole. Okay, thank you,
Speaker 4: I've probably cut it off. If it's not putting on
Speaker 4: the the leaves, I'll probably cut it off as it
Speaker 4: might turn into a liability on the planet.
Speaker 19: Okay, thank you, all right.
Speaker 4: Thank you for you very welcome. Thank you so much
Speaker 4: for your call.
Speaker 3: And if you have a call for Larry, you can
Speaker 3: give us a call.
Speaker 2: Nine eight three three six fourteen hundred nine and eight
Speaker 2: three three six fourteen hundred. Now, Larry, I intentionally pulled
Speaker 2: this one here because I have one of these plants
Speaker 2: and it's it's interesting how it works.
Speaker 3: So it is it is a salvia?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, So tell our listeners what a salvia is
Speaker 2: and how you can tell if it's healthy.
Speaker 4: Okay salvia or annual salvia? It is a tender tropical
Speaker 4: what's called a tropical perennial, and usually it's grown in
Speaker 4: a warmer weather. It's kind of a warm season type plant. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and as an annual bedding plant. There are also there
Speaker 4: are also some perennial varieties too. It's been a garden
Speaker 4: standard for a long time. I remember as child helping
Speaker 4: my mother plant rocket not rocket snaps, but so red
Speaker 4: salvia in the beds and all that too. So anyway,
Speaker 4: they're available in all kinds of colors. They bloom all
Speaker 4: the time.
Speaker 3: So well that's my question.
Speaker 4: Yeah, salvia blooms all summer long. It will have once
Speaker 4: the balloons have expired. The stalk and just wanted to
Speaker 4: kind of clip it now and then just to make
Speaker 4: it look nice, but it will continue to put on
Speaker 4: blooms throughout the summer.
Speaker 2: Interesting because my stalvia it came up again. It's a
Speaker 2: beautiful plant. It's one of the purple ones. And so
Speaker 2: in the mid to late spring it finally bloomed, right,
Speaker 2: And I tell you, if bumblebees.
Speaker 4: Love that, so you must you must have a perennial
Speaker 4: variety of alcum.
Speaker 2: Maybe I do, because what has what has happened is
Speaker 2: now the ballooms are gone and it looks like a weed.
Speaker 4: If I'm on, Well, the change is the weather that
Speaker 4: might bring on some more blooms. Okay, don't give up
Speaker 4: on me yet. Okay, So don't fertilize it too much.
Speaker 3: All right, Well you know it's it's uh actually on
Speaker 3: that's side of the bed.
Speaker 2: I don't fertilize very much at all because I've got
Speaker 2: a couple of hedges.
Speaker 3: But uh, but yeah, that's one thing I noticed.
Speaker 11: Uh.
Speaker 3: Now, now, this the stalvia was pre existing to the.
Speaker 4: Home before I got it, Okay, And.
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, I'm excited about that.
Speaker 2: And so you know last spring it bloomed beautifully and
Speaker 2: then by late May early June, all the blooms were gone.
Speaker 4: It just looks like it's a dead weed.
Speaker 3: So I I guess are yes, yes, very sure.
Speaker 4: What's the primary characteristic of the salbia?
Speaker 3: Well, it has for me.
Speaker 2: It's that they have the stalks that go straight up
Speaker 2: from a a kind of a spiny looking leaf at
Speaker 2: the bottom.
Speaker 3: That's what I call it.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's not spiny, but it has the broad leaves
Speaker 2: at the bottom, and then just see socks that come
Speaker 2: up and on from about midway from the stalk.
Speaker 3: All the way that it's off, you get beautiful, tiny
Speaker 3: little blues.
Speaker 4: Okay, does this plant have a square stem?
Speaker 3: That part I don't know.
Speaker 4: The salvia is characterized by a square stem. Okay, remember
Speaker 4: the mint family. Yes, and that way you know for
Speaker 4: sure if it's the salvia, well then maybe I don't
Speaker 4: know it's a salvia.
Speaker 3: Maybe it might be something else.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's there's several perennials that share that same character
Speaker 4: as Okay, it might be something else. Maybe it could
Speaker 4: be Look look at the stem and see if it's square.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll do that when I get home.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I always thought you don't think it. They could
Speaker 4: take the genetics and make that have a square stand
Speaker 4: and cross it with a love lilly pine. Yeah, you
Speaker 4: know for allosa square.
Speaker 3: That would be Yeah, maybe need to it's the engineer
Speaker 3: some of those. All right.
Speaker 4: So with Albia is an annual plant. It lacks a
Speaker 4: whole lot of sun. That's well in the afternoon, and
Speaker 4: it's warm weather loving, good bedding plant. You're good for backdropping.
Speaker 4: It gets read the tall as vailable in pink, red
Speaker 4: and purple.
Speaker 3: We do have a collar.
Speaker 2: If you can see I can now I actually hear
Speaker 2: the phone ring and good morning. You're on the air
Speaker 2: with Green Country Gardener.
Speaker 3: How can we help you?
Speaker 20: Yes, I was wanting to know if you feel some
Speaker 20: kind of mine purple flowers?
Speaker 3: Okay, could you turn your radio down in the background please?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, sure, we're from outer space.
Speaker 3: Well there we go. That's better.
Speaker 2: That's there had a little echo there, so uh, go
Speaker 2: ahead and repeat your question for us, please.
Speaker 20: Well, there's a flower that keeps growing like a vine
Speaker 20: and it glows purple flowers. Yeah, and I'm just wondering
Speaker 20: if round up would not keel that off. I've had
Speaker 20: more problems with that vine.
Speaker 4: Is it a Does it have a glossy green leaf? Yes? Okay,
Speaker 4: that sounds like you want to miss radickings, and it
Speaker 4: is because of the waxy layer on the leave. It
Speaker 4: doesn't Sometimes it doesn't absorb the round up.
Speaker 20: What's that?
Speaker 4: If it has a waxy leaf on the on the
Speaker 4: surface and it doesn't, the round up does not get absorbed.
Speaker 20: In some cases, I'm sorry, you just fade it out.
Speaker 4: Oh is that better?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 4: Okay? Yeah, if if the leaf has a heavy waxy
Speaker 4: layer on this in other words, if it's real glossy
Speaker 4: on the surface. There's a good chance at round it
Speaker 4: will not work because it will not absorb into the plant.
Speaker 4: I've run into this a lot of times with the
Speaker 4: uanymous ratiicans and the English ivy too is kind of
Speaker 4: is a little bit the same way.
Speaker 20: Okay, So what would I use to stuff?
Speaker 4: I use a there's we have a product called track
Speaker 4: oprayer at the nursery and it us you basically you
Speaker 4: cut the stem and you dauber this on the stem
Speaker 4: and it'll the plant will absorb it and it'll it'll
Speaker 4: knock it out.
Speaker 20: Okay, all right, well I need to get rid of it.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I've sprayed round up through creeping uanymous and
Speaker 4: doesn't affect it, but it kills all the weeds and
Speaker 4: around it.
Speaker 3: So yeah, okay, okay, so stop stop by the nursery.
Speaker 4: It doesn't it doesn't, it doesn't attack everything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, okay, come by, come by a green Country
Speaker 2: nursery and a green Thumb nursery, I should say, and uh,
Speaker 2: Larry can walk you through and get and get you
Speaker 2: the product that will take care of that need for you.
Speaker 4: I probably won't be there most part. They'll be digging
Speaker 4: holes for Yeah, he might.
Speaker 3: Be different homes, but he's got a you know staff
Speaker 3: there a hole anyway.
Speaker 4: But yeah, track clour t r I c l O
Speaker 4: p A R triclo okay, track and it comes with
Speaker 4: a little drop. It comes with a little dropper and
Speaker 4: you cut that and within within thirty seconds you have
Speaker 4: to apply this track repairer to this tim and it
Speaker 4: goes down to the root and kills the plant that way.
Speaker 3: All right, did that help you out?
Speaker 20: Yes?
Speaker 3: Thank you, all right, you're very welcome. Thank you so
Speaker 3: much for your call.
Speaker 2: All Right, Larry, we're app on our last break here.
Speaker 2: This will be a two minute break here on Green
Speaker 2: Country Gardener. We'll be right back after this.
Speaker 21: Although a Republican, Frank Phillips was a man who wisely
Speaker 21: hedged his bets, and so it was that even though
Speaker 21: he backed the other candidate, in December nineteen thirty five,
Speaker 21: he invited Elliott Roosevelt, the son of President Franklin Roosevelt,
Speaker 21: to wool Rock. According to reports, the menu for the
Speaker 21: day was elk barbecue and beer. Mister Phillips had already
Speaker 21: cooked up a plan to make the weekend a bit
Speaker 21: more special for Roosevelt and for the other guests. Roosevelt
Speaker 21: wanted to shoot a buffalo, so Frank gave him a
Speaker 21: rifle and out they went to stalk their prey, Elliott.
Speaker 21: Roosevelt was considered an excellent shot, but as the herd
Speaker 21: of massive animals roared past, Roosevelt fired once and then twice,
Speaker 21: but no buffalo hit the ground. Frank's ranch manager, Griff Graham,
Speaker 21: seized the gun from Roosevelt, took quick aim and killed
Speaker 21: the buffalo. Roosevelt was embarrassed to have been such a
Speaker 21: poor shot in front of friends and his distinguished host,
Speaker 21: and he took a good natured ribbing for his shooting
Speaker 21: skills throughout dinner, when finally mister Phillips, roaring with laughter,
Speaker 21: admitted they had loaded the gun with two blanks. That evening,
Speaker 21: mister Phillips had to leave the ranch for a meeting
Speaker 21: in Chicago, but Roosevelt remained behind to try again, this
Speaker 21: time with live ammunition. The next day, Roosevelt wired Frank
Speaker 21: Phillips the following message, sixteen hundred pounds in a beauty
Speaker 21: and this one only took one shot. The magic of
Speaker 21: Woollarock just as it is today. Come see us soon

Speaker 2: And welcome back to Green Country Gardener here on K
Speaker 2: one and KGGF. Nathan Thompson here with our gardening experts,
Speaker 2: Larry Glass of Green Thumb Nursery. Larry, you know we've
Speaker 2: had copious amounts of rain here recently. Rons are probably
Speaker 2: looking pretty good, but you know, there's still a lot
Speaker 2: of maintenance that needs to be done, especially as we
Speaker 2: get into these hot, long summer months.
Speaker 4: Well after four hundred years of drought, permuter grass has
Speaker 4: finally come back good, just about filled in too good,
Speaker 4: and it's kind of having a battle out there with
Speaker 4: crabgras so anyway, so post emergent crabgrass control is called
Speaker 4: the Queen colorac. It works pretty good to control that.
Speaker 4: You don't want to do it in the hot of
Speaker 4: the day and all that. So on your lawns right now,
Speaker 4: you want to fertilize very lightly on a monthly basis,
Speaker 4: not just one big food in the spring and hang
Speaker 4: up the spreader and go. But you want to try
Speaker 4: to fertilize it a little bit at a time every month,
Speaker 4: just to keep it up, keep the levels up and
Speaker 4: all that. You don't want to overdo it. Did you
Speaker 4: wear out the spark plug on your lawnmower.
Speaker 3: That's right, that's totally right.
Speaker 4: You do want you want to go ahead and give
Speaker 4: it to a moderate amount, and I do that to mine.
Speaker 4: You have a in a April or so, I'll give
Speaker 4: it a pretty good dose of nitrogen after or before
Speaker 4: it rains. And then I got caught one time there's
Speaker 4: rain coming and we're not fertilized the r and then
Speaker 4: we left for go somewhere and then came back it
Speaker 4: didn't rain. But anyway, so a good constant. You don't
Speaker 4: want peaks and valleys in your fertility level. You wanted
Speaker 4: to try to maintain it fairly evenly all across. And
Speaker 4: that's why you'd want to use a fairly light application
Speaker 4: more frequently than a heavy application infrequently. And if you
Speaker 4: don't have a sprink system, you don't you don't fertilize
Speaker 4: the whole yard at once. You fertilize part of it
Speaker 4: and watered in to do the next part. What you
Speaker 4: can effectively water it in to get it in there.
Speaker 2: That's that's a good tip because you know you're right.
Speaker 2: I see a lot of folks who have normally beautiful
Speaker 2: yards and lawns. They go out there and you can
Speaker 2: see them just spreading the fertilizer on all partials of
Speaker 2: their lawn.
Speaker 3: But you're saying it's better to do it, and.
Speaker 4: Yeah, do it incrementally. Yeah, Like I break my yard
Speaker 4: up into three sections and do the one yard to
Speaker 4: the north in the middle, then the South park. But
Speaker 4: a sprinkle on. I don't have a sprink I can't
Speaker 4: get a sprinkler. It's a solid rock. Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 4: know it's terrible. You put a shovel halfway down. It's
Speaker 4: a solid rock. So I don't have a sprinkler system
Speaker 4: for obvious reasons.
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course.
Speaker 4: Oh, you's just seeing it took them two years to
Speaker 4: get underneath the street. That's what all these all the rock,
Speaker 4: all this phone line thing whatever. Oh yeah, there a
Speaker 4: long time. They didn't make any money on that. Oh
Speaker 4: that's great. And down the street big piles of rock.
Speaker 4: So yeah, and that's one reason why you want to
Speaker 4: try to manage it like that and do it incrementally
Speaker 4: rather than the whole thing all on, just so you
Speaker 4: just don't get burned out from having to go out
Speaker 4: and move the holes and everything else. So do it
Speaker 4: a section at the time. That's that's that's good. That's
Speaker 4: good advice. Yeah, right now, a pre emergent it's a
Speaker 4: little bit late for weed controlling the pre.
Speaker 3: Emergent, right, so post emergent would be.
Speaker 4: Post emergence would be a quin colerac. However, as the
Speaker 4: crabgrass matures. It's gonna it's gonna be less effective, okay,
Speaker 4: because it's not growing very fast, right right, so you
Speaker 4: want to get after it pretty soon, right okay. And anyway,
Speaker 4: come by the nursery and see what we've got. We've
Speaker 4: got a great selection of tropical plants, some big old,
Speaker 4: beautiful hanging baskets over there. I'm really about to pull
Speaker 4: the building over. Wow, and all kinds of flowers and
Speaker 4: perennials and trees and stuff for you for your landscape.
Speaker 2: So it looks like it's about ready time to it
Speaker 2: is almost time. It's been a great show today, Larry.
Speaker 2: I appreciate you answering a lot of my questions as well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll keep that show sharp. We will see you
Speaker 4: next week.
