You know, 17 00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:09.519 all all the people around the Houstern area are likely 18 00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:12.439 to have similar kinds of things going on. So go 19 00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:14.239 ahead and call in give us a question. Seven one 20 00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:17.239 three two one two k t r H.

By 23 00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:27.400 the way, was that rain or what a lot of 24 00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:31.120 you guys just got a gully washer. I actually was 25 00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:33.719 out of town this week and I got back and 26 00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:36.680 I had seven inches of rain in a rain gage 27 00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:38.760 and it kind of made me going, Okay, wait a minute, 28 00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:40.560 I know we didn't get seven inches, so did I 29 00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:43.799 forget to pour it out the last time? But anyway, 30 00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:47.159 everything is well watered and we'll take it right now. 31 00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:49.239 That's for sure. It's going to be a great, great 32 00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:52.840 weekend too. Hey, I'm going to be at Arburgate today, 33 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:56.040 Arborgate Garden Center that is up in Tomball. For those 34 00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:58.680 of you who just moved to the Houston area, you 35 00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:01.719 got to see this place. Arbrogate is just west to 36 00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:05.599 Tombull on twenty nine twenty. Just head up to forty 37 00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:09.400 nine Tomball Parkway, head out west to twenty nine on 38 00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:11.840 twenty nine twenty. It's just outside of town on the 39 00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:14.719 left hand side. I'm going to be They have a 40 00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:16.840 number of giveaways that they're giving away there. I'll be 41 00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:20.919 answering your gardening questions. You can find me just you 42 00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:22.719 can say where's Skip and they'll point you to me, 43 00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:25.759 or you can say where's the peach Ballini machine and 44 00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:27.680 they'll point you to me. And I promise you I'll 45 00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.879 be right there. That's where I'm going to be hanging out. 46 00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:34.479 But come on out. This is my last appearance of 47 00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:37.000 the year. The very last one well of the year. 48 00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:40.879 Hold it go back, last appearance of the spring. I'll 49 00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:43.199 be doing some more in the fall, but for the 50 00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:46.479 spring it's the last chance I get to rub shoulders 51 00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:49.000 and look at samples and do all those kinds of things. 52 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:51.159 So I hope you come out to Arbrogate. It's gonna 53 00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:53.759 be an awesome David to coming to Arburgate every day 54 00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:56.560 is remember when you come there to park in the back, 55 00:02:56.919 --> 00:02:58.879 there's a parking lot in the back. So for those 56 00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:01.120 of you who haven't been in a while, well you 57 00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:04.479 want to turn down Trischel Road, which is think of 58 00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:07.759 it as a loop that goes around behind Arburgate. And 59 00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:10.639 when you turn down Trisher you can turn before Arburgate 60 00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:12.919 or after Arburgate because it is a loop goes from 61 00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:15.479 twenty nine to twenty around back to twenty nine twenty 62 00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:18.520 and you'll see the big sign for the parking lot. 63 00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:25.960 It's easy, easy access. If you are contemplating trying some 64 00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:29.080 new things this year in the garden, I would suggest 65 00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:32.319 one of the best things you can do is add 66 00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:36.840 a container to your landscape. Each year, I buy a 67 00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:41.199 nice little container. I've had my share of plastic pots 68 00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:44.280 and those are great. They grow stuff. They have their issues. 69 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:47.560 One of them is they don't last long. But if 70 00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:50.000 you get you a really nice container, we try to 71 00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:53.039 buy one, maybe one a year, just a really nice 72 00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:56.439 one and just keep building our collection that way. By 73 00:03:56.479 --> 00:03:59.840 the way, Arburgate has awesome pots, awesome containers you get. 74 00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:01.400 You got to see them when you get out there. 75 00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:06.680 But containers, if they have good drainage holes and quality 76 00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:10.080 soil in them, you can grow pretty much almost anything 77 00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:12.280 in a container that you would grow in your flower 78 00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:16.399 beds and your vegetable gardens. And you know, even small fruit. 79 00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:19.040 There's small types of fruit that can be grown in 80 00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:21.519 a container. You need a good mix. Now. Jungle Land 81 00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:26.560 distributed by Nitrofoss is that exact thing. A good mix. 82 00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:29.839 It's a blended Canadian blonde peat with four sources of 83 00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:33.480 aged organic matter. It's got microrise of fungi in it also, 84 00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:36.839 and they work in cooperation with the plant root making 85 00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:40.639 those roots much more effective. It holds moisture adequately and 86 00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:45.319 it drains moisture excess moisture very well. Jungle Land flour 87 00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:47.800 and vegetable planting soil. That would be the one that 88 00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:50.920 I would put in the outside pots, jungle land flour, 89 00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:54.160 and vegetable planting soil. You're going to find nitofoss products 90 00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:57.480 in many places. If you head down to Pasadena Fisher's 91 00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:01.160 Hard Groun Southmore, you'll find them there up in uh 92 00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:05.079 them or sage mind area rather on Beamer M and D. 93 00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:09.160 Beamer has them, as does a Stanton shopping center in Alvin, 94 00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:12.480 Texas on North Taylor is where you can find night 95 00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:16.800 frost products. Well, you're listening to garden Line and here 96 00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:20.000 is a phone number seven one three two one two 97 00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:24.800 kt r H seven one three two one two kt 98 00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:26.839 r h. 99 00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:28.360 Uh. 100 00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:32.680 So, anyway, planting containers, how about vegetables if you ever 101 00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:35.079 maybe you don't have a vegetable garden and you're going, 102 00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:36.600 you know what, I don't want to plow up the 103 00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:39.079 back forty I don't have room for a garden or whatever. 104 00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:42.279 All right, Well, there's other ways to do a garden 105 00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:44.800 than that. But one simple way is just a nice 106 00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:46.519 good sized container. 107 00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:46.879 Uh. 108 00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:50.040 You know you if you can get a container of oh, 109 00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:54.959 anywhere from two to five to ten gallons, you can 110 00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:58.079 grow a lot of different kinds of vegetables in that 111 00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:02.920 size of container. For small leafy greens, smaller statued plants, 112 00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:06.839 A two gallon container would suffice like things like lettuce, 113 00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:10.480 by the way, it's not lettuce season, but things like that. 114 00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:12.920 If you're going to grow something a little larger that's 115 00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:17.800 gonna fruit, like a pepper or a eggplant, then you 116 00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:20.759 need at least a five gallon container. And certainly with tomatoes, 117 00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:23.680 you can grow a tomato and a five gallon container. 118 00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:27.680 They don't generally sell them by the gallon. You know, 119 00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:30.360 you look at the diameter of the top, and then 120 00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:32.360 the diameter of the base, and the depth of the 121 00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:34.879 soil and all of that. But if it'll hold about 122 00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:36.959 think of a five gallon bucket. If it'll hold about 123 00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:39.399 that much, so you can grow a tomato. But I 124 00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:43.000 wouldn't recommend that. I would recommend going bigger than that. 125 00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:47.160 And here's the reason why it gets hot here and 126 00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:49.839 no matter what you're growing. One year, I had a 127 00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:53.240 brigmancia an angel's trumpet, and a nice large container. It 128 00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:56.279 was gorgeous, but I was watering it twice a day. 129 00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:59.240 You know, it had some volume to it. But that's 130 00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:02.480 a plant that's drought tolerant. So the more soil you 131 00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:07.199 give your plant in the container the more growing mix media, 132 00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:10.439 the better off it's going to do, and the less 133 00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:13.160 likely if you have to go away for a day 134 00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:16.199 or something like that or two, your plant's going to 135 00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:19.319 go into stress. So sol volume here in the South 136 00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:23.759 is important. If you watch gardening shows filmed up north 137 00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:26.519 or on one of the coasts or something where the 138 00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:30.000 conditions are different than here, you'll see smaller containers, but 139 00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:35.120 not here. Bigger is better, that is for sure. Well, 140 00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:36.959 I think it's time for me to take a little break, 141 00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:40.240 which I'm going to do, and we'll be back perhaps 142 00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:43.480 with your question seven one three two one two k 143 00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:46.519 t r H seven one three two one two if 144 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:49.680 you like the numbers fifty eight seventy four, I'll be 145 00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:56.720 right back. Good morning, Good Saturday morning. Glad we have 146 00:07:56.800 --> 00:07:59.160 a chance to visit about gardening this morning, and that 147 00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:03.120 is exactly what we're going to be doing. Uh, if 148 00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:04.800 you are interested in giving me a call seven one 149 00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:08.439 three two one two kat r H seven one three 150 00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:11.920 two and two kt RH Hey and Chandy Gardens down 151 00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:14.959 in the Richmond area. Actually it's on the Katie Foster 152 00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:19.160 side of Richmond on FM three fifty nine in Channa Gardens. 153 00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:22.120 Is such a cool place. I love. I love going 154 00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:25.920 there and visiting because there's always going to be something 155 00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:29.600 that you haven't seen before, or something you have but 156 00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:32.039 maybe you didn't have the selection that you're going to 157 00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:34.080 find down and Chanted Gardens. By the way, it's Mother's 158 00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:38.039 Day coming up, so there are incredible options for gifts 159 00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:41.559 down there. There are some of their pottery just a 160 00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:45.360 wide range, you know, from traditional, beautiful traditional types of 161 00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:49.120 pottery to very unusual you know, painted owls and frogs 162 00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:53.399 and everything else under the sun. It is just a 163 00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:55.039 cool place. You need to go see it. See what 164 00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:58.320 I'm talking about. Mom would be really happy to get 165 00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:01.360 a gift from their gift shop as well. Oh and 166 00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:05.840 they have they've got a really nice selection of Kurrcuma 167 00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:11.000 ginger in tulip gingers are they do well in shady spots. 168 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:14.200 They have a beautiful bloom head that comes up out 169 00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:17.279 of the center of the plant and uh, it just gorgeous. 170 00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:19.639 Makes a good cut flower too, by the way, But 171 00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:22.679 ask them to see their Corcuma ginger And if you've 172 00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:24.559 got a little shady spot and you want to add 173 00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:27.720 some beauty and some color into it, that would be 174 00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:30.200 a great way to go. Really good way to go. 175 00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:33.240 I love their I love their gingers. Gingers one of 176 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:36.039 my favorite plants too. I really enjoy that. Hey, here's 177 00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:39.200 an idea for mom. How about one of the tropical 178 00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:44.080 hibiscus from Enchanted Gardens. A tropical hibiscus, It just a 179 00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:46.840 gaudy flower, looks pretty all year. I mean all you know, 180 00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:50.240 all the growing season. It's a warm season plant. Uh 181 00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:52.080 you know, you can bring it in and protect it. 182 00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:55.440 I had one that I put a little protection over 183 00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:58.240 outdoors and it killed it back, but it's coming back 184 00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:00.480 out of the base now I had and a big 185 00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:05.440 giant container. I love those plants, very beautiful, and they 186 00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:08.240 also I wouldn't say they may cut flowers, but you 187 00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:11.600 can snap off the flowers at the base when they 188 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:14.000 open up and bring them indoors and enjoy them for 189 00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:15.840 quite a long time. You don't have to stick them 190 00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:18.240 in water necessarily. And I say a long time, I 191 00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:21.679 mean through that day. Aibiscus flowers last the day. If 192 00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:24.679 you want to find the Ingena Gardens, go to this 193 00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:29.840 website Ententedgardens Richmond dot com Enchanted Gardens Richmond dot com. 194 00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:34.120 When you get there, you're gonna find an unbelievable selection 195 00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:38.000 of pots and plants and whimsy in every kind of 196 00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:41.080 way a beautiful garden art as well as well as 197 00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:44.679 fertilizers from Microlife and nitrofoss and Nilson, plant food and 198 00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:48.200 medina and soils from Nature's Way and heirloom soils too 199 00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:54.279 Intented Gardens Richmond dot com. That's what you need to know. 200 00:10:56.759 --> 00:11:00.840 I uh, now that I'm back in town, I've got 201 00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:05.480 some fertilizing to do. And one of the things that 202 00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:08.000 I need to get done, in fact I will get 203 00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:11.879 done this week, is taking care of some of my containers. Now, 204 00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:17.080 think about this. A container. This is obvious, but a 205 00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:20.399 lot of people don't really think about the ramifications of it. 206 00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:24.679 A container has the whole root system of that plant 207 00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:27.080 in it. So if you take something like I said, 208 00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:29.799 I had a tropical hibiscus and a container, well, if 209 00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:32.720 it were growing in the soil, that tropical hibiscus root 210 00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:35.600 system would be going far and wide all over the place. 211 00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:39.559 But it's confined to the container. So every drop of water, 212 00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:45.559 every molecule of fertilizer that that particular plant gets has 213 00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:47.480 to come out of the container. So we need to 214 00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:49.759 make sure and keep them extra watered, and we need 215 00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:53.759 to make sure and keep them extra fed. That doesn't 216 00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:56.320 mean overdoing it, It means just take care of them. 217 00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:59.240 And Nelson Plant Food has a line that they call 218 00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:03.080 the nutrist Line, and the nutri Star line has specific 219 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:07.799 types of plant fertilizers. For example, there's a vegetable fertilizer. 220 00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:10.720 You know, there's one for acid leving plants, one for 221 00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:13.600 hibiscus and flowering tropicals. That's one I need to be 222 00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:18.840 using this week. But there's also one nutristar citrus, fruit 223 00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:23.480 and avocado. And so basically if you eat fruit off 224 00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:28.080 of a plant, that fertilizer is for that, Okay, citrus, 225 00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:32.440 all other kinds of fruit and avocado. It works well 226 00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:35.559 on oranges and lemons and limes and avocados and kumquats, 227 00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:38.279 and for semons and papias and figs and peaches and 228 00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:41.360 apples and you know, grapes. I mean it is a 229 00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:45.159 quality mix for that. It's a strong, strong mix that 230 00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:48.840 when I say strong, I mean it's got everything. Okay, 231 00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:51.200 It's got the main nutrients in it in the right ratio. 232 00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:54.919 It's got micronutrients in it as well to prevent common deficiencies. 233 00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:58.000 Going to get a good root system, good growth, good development, 234 00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:03.480 and therefore good production. Nutri Star from Nelson Citrus fruit 235 00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:06.799 and avocado food want of many nutri star options that 236 00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:11.919 Nelson offers. So how do you fertilize when you're doing 237 00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:15.000 these well, you want to fertilize them in small amounts 238 00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:18.200 or with the products going to gradually release it. Either 239 00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:21.200 way you go. Just don't dump a ton of salt 240 00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:26.279 based fertilizer on the root system because that's overdoing it. 241 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:29.399 You know, we learned the lesson in life, right that 242 00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:35.200 moderation and all things. So you just give it small 243 00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:38.519 amounts and just continue to feed them. You want your 244 00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:40.799 plants to be healthy. You want them to be growing 245 00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:43.399 and have the nutrition they need and the water that 246 00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:47.399 they need. That's very very important. So if you want 247 00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:50.960 color containers, you got to fertilize them. I learned this 248 00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:54.440 with I learned my lesson on this with Petunia's trailing 249 00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:57.159 type of petunia. One year I had it in a 250 00:13:57.200 --> 00:13:59.960 container and was watering it and taking care of it. 251 00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:03.559 In those things bloom just about bloom themselves to death. 252 00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:05.200 I mean there's so many blooms you can't even see 253 00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:09.039 the leaves. But anyway, I was just taking care of 254 00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:11.639 it with water, but it just sort of played out. 255 00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:16.240 And that happens after they really bloom heavily sometimes. So 256 00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:18.639 what I needed to do and what I now do, 257 00:14:19.159 --> 00:14:23.559 is you cut them back after they start to decline 258 00:14:23.559 --> 00:14:25.840 a little bit, if they start to decline a little bit, 259 00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:30.120 and then fertilize and water water that fertilizer in and 260 00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:33.759 it produces new growth. Now you may be going, yeah, 261 00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:36.200 but I want flowers. Well, you can only have flowers 262 00:14:36.200 --> 00:14:39.039 if you have new growth. Here's why new growth occurs. 263 00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:42.159 You get leaves, leaves or solar panels. Solar panels collect 264 00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:47.679 the sun, leaves make plant food called carbohydrates, which fuels 265 00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:52.320 bloom production and fruit production too for that matter. So 266 00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:54.759 you always need good growth and you want to take 267 00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:56.600 care of your plants. So on those petunias, if you 268 00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:59.919 start to kind of dwindle a little bit, just before 269 00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:03.279 they get totally, run it out and just go ahead, 270 00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:06.720 cut them back, fertilize them with a quality product and 271 00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:09.840 watered in really good and boosts some new growth and 272 00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:12.480 then another cycle of blooms will follow that. Just don't 273 00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:14.519 let it go too far. Don't be afraid to prune 274 00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:17.840 back your annuals. That's a perfectly okay thing to do, 275 00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:21.840 even perennials too. I've got some salvia that I pruned yesterday, 276 00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:27.960 salvia that the salvia that I was pruning specifically, was 277 00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:30.279 in a little less light than it wants to be. 278 00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:33.120 It was a very bright shade with some sun. Salvia 279 00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:36.039 likes a lot of sun, most of them, and so 280 00:15:36.440 --> 00:15:38.399 it was getting a little lanky. So I just went 281 00:15:38.480 --> 00:15:42.519 back and I cut branches back halfway to it. And 282 00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:45.080 everywhere you cut it by salvia back, you're going to 283 00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:47.879 get two shoots from where there was one. And then 284 00:15:47.919 --> 00:15:49.960 you cut those two shoots back, now you have four. 285 00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:52.440 And so what you're doing is you're creating a smaller 286 00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:58.080 stature bush with more terminals, more shoot INDs, salvia's roses, 287 00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:02.320 many types of plants at the ends of shoots. So 288 00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:05.159 anytime you share back a little bit, you're going to 289 00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:08.480 have more blooms because you took one shoot, which can 290 00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:11.360 make one bloom or bloom cluster, and you turned it 291 00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:13.639 into too. Do you see what I'm saying. So don't 292 00:16:13.639 --> 00:16:16.240 be afraid to cut these things back, fertilize them, get 293 00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:20.840 them going again, and they'll look really good, very very good. 294 00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:25.639 If you would like to call with a question and 295 00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:28.480 if it's something related, maybe that a photo would help 296 00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:30.399 you know, if you say, oh, there's a bug, and 297 00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:33.759 we'll describe it to me. Well, it's kind of small 298 00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:36.679 and it has six legs. Okay, we're not getting anywhere here, 299 00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:39.399 so send me a picture. You send me a picture, 300 00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:42.440 call my producer Alexandra and get the email. Send me 301 00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:44.879 a picture, but you got to follow up on the 302 00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:48.159 picture with a call. Just not able to handle all 303 00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:52.679 the emails that come in, but really helps for a 304 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:55.919 phone call to have some photo to see if it's 305 00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:58.639 that kind of identification. We got some folks that are 306 00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:01.440 going to be calling in today with just that.

It's a nice, fine textured, high 315 00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:26.519 quality compost. I was looking at some of the material 316 00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:27.559 they use. It's excellent. 317 00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:28.359 Uh. 318 00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:31.200 And we were on a site where you know, we 319 00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:33.839 were doing kind of a demonstration of it, and and 320 00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:36.880 I was getting some pictures and things. In fact, I 321 00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:40.799 posted something to Facebook about it. If you live inside 322 00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:44.039 the Beltway, you need to give Cliff a call year 323 00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:48.839 round Houston dot com.

And here's why. 325 00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:55.880 The getting oxygen done in the root system, especially in 326 00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:59.599 a clay soil, getting organic matter down into the soil, 327 00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:03.680 all of those things help stimulate grass to grow.

They 337 00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:37.000 serve that area inside the Beltway, and I'll be happy 338 00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:41.240 to come out and discuss with you what might need 339 00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:46.200 to be done at your place. I love, I love 340 00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:51.000 seeing a lawn respond after that cory. You know, the 341 00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:54.079 most beautiful turf, some of the most beautiful turf in 342 00:18:54.119 --> 00:18:57.440 the world is golf courses, just beautiful, and they aerate 343 00:18:57.519 --> 00:19:02.559 those they do areate those, especially areas where you've got 344 00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:06.119 foot traffic or where it's kind of getting pounded and compacted. 345 00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:10.640 Aeration is essential. You get a sail that's compacted down 346 00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:13.559 where I can't get any oxygen in it, and you 347 00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:15.440 can put fertilizer on it. You can put water on 348 00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:18.200 it if you want, but you're not going to you're 349 00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:21.279 not going to see the results that just opening it up, 350 00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:24.480 I like to say, breathing life into the soil. That 351 00:19:24.599 --> 00:19:28.960 is what aeration does. So those dog paths, those human 352 00:19:29.319 --> 00:19:32.200 foot paths, wherever the pitty powder or a little feet 353 00:19:32.599 --> 00:19:36.359 are starting to beat that grass back, you need to 354 00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:39.000 make sure and get some aeration done in those areas, 355 00:19:39.079 --> 00:19:48.680 especially Gosh. I think probably when it was a while back, 356 00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:51.799 I was Disney of was Sherrit Plants for All Seasons, 357 00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:55.519 and I was there with some of my family. We 358 00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:58.240 were looking over the things they were going to redoing 359 00:19:58.279 --> 00:20:02.839 some of their landscape and just you know, it's spring 360 00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:05.839 and pleasure seas is a fun place to shop. I mean, 361 00:20:05.839 --> 00:20:07.799 they got all kinds of stuff, but I always like 362 00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:10.799 to go by and just see what's new, what I 363 00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:15.599 have now, and they, you know, the plant world continues 364 00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:18.799 to give us new cool stuff, and one of those 365 00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:22.279 things is is a port of laca Porto Laco. Personally, 366 00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:26.880 those plants are the succulents that are annuals that bloom 367 00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:30.200 and bloom and bloom and bloom. The balloons last about 368 00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:33.440 a day, but there's always a dozen blooms waiting to 369 00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:37.200 come on. They have a type called color Blast color 370 00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:41.440 Blast double Porti Laca, and you just have to see it. 371 00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:44.160 Instead of thinking of a little flat flower like normal 372 00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:47.200 porta laca, this just has petals all over the place. 373 00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:50.279 I don't know if describing it as a carnation is fair, 374 00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:54.839 but that's somewhat what it looks like to me. But 375 00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:58.559 it's an awesome plant and they've got it and several 376 00:20:58.559 --> 00:21:01.680 different colors. By the way, they also have some wonderful 377 00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:05.559 plants for pollinators that look really nice. If you are 378 00:21:05.599 --> 00:21:09.880 interested in bringing pollinators into your place, that stop by 379 00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:11.759 there talk to them. And this is one of the 380 00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:13.799 nice things that plants for all seasons is You just 381 00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:17.720 basically go in and you tell them what you need, 382 00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:19.799 or tell them the problems that you're dealing with in 383 00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:21.799 the yard. That could be bringing them a sample or 384 00:21:21.799 --> 00:21:25.279 a photo or whatever. Just go by there and check 385 00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:28.720 it out. Two eight, one, three, seven, six, sixteen forty six. 386 00:21:28.759 --> 00:21:31.400 You'll get an accurate answer. They got the products you need, 387 00:21:31.799 --> 00:21:34.119 and most of all, they just have the knowledge and 388 00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:36.680 willingness to help. I'm gonna take a break, folks, and 389 00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:39.079 I'll be right back, all right, and welcome back to 390 00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:44.640 garden Line on a beautiful, beautiful Saturday morning. I hope 391 00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:47.000 you'll come out to Arburgate today. I'll be there be 392 00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:49.480 my last appearance of the year, or I keep seeing 393 00:21:49.559 --> 00:21:51.799 year of the spring, of the spring, I'll do some 394 00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:54.160 more in the fall, last time in the spring. So 395 00:21:54.240 --> 00:21:57.759 we are looking forward to this one. It's always fun 396 00:21:57.759 --> 00:21:59.799 to go out to Arburgate. It is always a good time. 397 00:21:59.839 --> 00:22:03.319 And they're just putting on a big kind of Mom's 398 00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:06.480 day shindig. I guess you could say, you've got peach 399 00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:08.960 ballini machine, and we're gonna be giving away some really 400 00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:12.799 cool stuff as well and answering your gardening questions. As 401 00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:16.079 simple as that. Someone asked me the other day. I 402 00:22:16.079 --> 00:22:19.799 get you know, people, I'm surprised because we explain it 403 00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:21.559 on the air a lot, but I know people don't 404 00:22:21.599 --> 00:22:24.680 listen to Garden Line four hours a day, two days 405 00:22:24.680 --> 00:22:30.559 a week. But they asked me about micronutrients and macronutrients, 406 00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:34.039 and you know, do just some questions basically about as mite. 407 00:22:34.039 --> 00:22:37.559 It's what they're asking as might is a micronutrient supplement, 408 00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:40.799 and what is a micro nutrient? Does it mean it's 409 00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:43.759 a nutrient that's smaller than a macron No, it means 410 00:22:43.880 --> 00:22:47.680 it's needed in smaller quantities. So if you're a plant, 411 00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:50.680 you're gonna eat a lot of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. 412 00:22:50.799 --> 00:22:53.720 You're gonna eat a moderate amount of calcium and sulfur 413 00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:57.400 and magnesium. And then there's these things like micronutrients like 414 00:22:57.640 --> 00:23:02.039 boron or zinc or molybdenum, all kinds of micros that 415 00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:06.119 are essential for plant life. They cannot live without micronutrients, 416 00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:08.400 but they don't need a lot of them. That's why 417 00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:11.240 we call them trace minerals or micronutrients. And that's what 418 00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:14.920 azemite is. Now forty four pounds bag of azemite is 419 00:23:14.920 --> 00:23:17.079 going to cover six to twelve thousand square feet of 420 00:23:17.119 --> 00:23:20.960 your lawn because it is a micronutrient. If you have 421 00:23:21.000 --> 00:23:23.960 a vegetable garden, I would recommend including it in there too. 422 00:23:24.119 --> 00:23:26.200 Ten pounds will cover about a thousand square feet of 423 00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:30.680 vegetable garden area. Whenever you fertilize, it's an easy time 424 00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:32.599 to just go ahead and put on your azamite and 425 00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:37.000 a separate application at that same time, same day. And 426 00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:39.519 the reason is because you got your spread er out 427 00:23:39.559 --> 00:23:42.559 and you're doing that, and it just makes it easier 428 00:23:42.599 --> 00:23:46.079 to remember. But you can do azmiite anytime you want. 429 00:23:46.240 --> 00:23:48.880 It doesn't have to be done just according to my 430 00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:52.759 fertilization schedule. You can do it anytime you want. So 431 00:23:53.359 --> 00:23:55.400 if you in the absence of a soil test, I 432 00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:58.119 would do it once, maybe twice a year, depending on 433 00:23:58.359 --> 00:24:00.440 what's in your soil. A soil tests really guide you 434 00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:03.680 the best. Then you know how much to fertilize. But 435 00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:06.599 Day's MTE is a product that works as simple as that. 436 00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:11.000 Let's set out now to New Keny. We're gonna visit 437 00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:14.359 with Armando. Hello Armando, Welcome to garden Line. 438 00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:18.559 Good morning, Good morning. 439 00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:23.960 I've got an issue with a Saint Augustine grass that 440 00:24:24.240 --> 00:24:27.200 I've been buying what three or four pallets in Saint 441 00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:30.880 Augustine grass and most of us pretty good grass. But 442 00:24:31.119 --> 00:24:35.559 after the rains, the groote of the Saint Augustine grass 443 00:24:35.559 --> 00:24:40.279 started dying looked like in dying and spreading. You know, 444 00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:43.400 it's just one drink on treatment I should do. 445 00:24:46.200 --> 00:24:49.119 Wow, that's a that's a tough one rain. It shouldn't 446 00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:51.880 hurt Saint Augustine. I mean it can take quite a 447 00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:57.200 bit of water and then being submerged. That's that's one thing. 448 00:24:57.279 --> 00:25:01.839 But it could be it could be several things. It 449 00:25:01.880 --> 00:25:04.960 could be a root disease called take all root rot 450 00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:08.119 that's involved a little early for us to see major 451 00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:11.240 problems with that. But it could be that there are 452 00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:16.960 some types of fungus that can essentially rock the leaves 453 00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:21.160 off the runners. That is a possibility. And then there 454 00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:25.960 is a disease called take excuse me, gray leaf spot 455 00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:28.720 and armando. If you go out and kind of get 456 00:25:29.359 --> 00:25:32.519 down load to the grass and the blades have little 457 00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:36.839 spots on them that are purple borders with ten centers, 458 00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:39.720 but a lot of them. When you look at the lawn, 459 00:25:39.799 --> 00:25:42.440 it just browns out. If it's a very severe case 460 00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:45.119 of that, and we are entering gray leaf spot season 461 00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:48.400 and it loves moisture, so that could be a problem. 462 00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:51.759 But those are all a lot of different possibilities, and 463 00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:55.440 so I can't re recommend a cure without knowing which 464 00:25:55.440 --> 00:25:57.240 of those it is. Do you think you could take 465 00:25:57.279 --> 00:25:59.640 some pictures of it, maybe a picture of a lawn 466 00:25:59.720 --> 00:26:02.240 from a little bit of a distance, and then get 467 00:26:02.319 --> 00:26:04.160 down as low as you can and get some good 468 00:26:04.359 --> 00:26:06.240 close ups of those grass blades? 469 00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:08.079 Yeah? 470 00:26:09.200 --> 00:26:10.359 What? 471 00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:10.759 What? 472 00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:10.799 What? 473 00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:12.880 Actually? What I tried to do. 474 00:26:12.920 --> 00:26:14.440 I tried to email you. 475 00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:16.759 The question and then I was going to send a photo, 476 00:26:17.400 --> 00:26:20.680 but for whatever reason, it's it's just when the said submit, 477 00:26:20.799 --> 00:26:24.279 it was buffering, and the buffering. I tried a couple 478 00:26:24.319 --> 00:26:26.559 of times, as I said, but that I'll just call 479 00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:28.279 and ask you about it. 480 00:26:28.519 --> 00:26:33.240 Yeah, yeah, I don't know why. That sounds like a 481 00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:37.400 problem on your end Internet there, but uh, probably you 482 00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:40.440 have my email. Then then I'd give it. I'd give 483 00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:42.000 it a try again. I mean, you know, I could 484 00:26:42.039 --> 00:26:44.319 tell you, oh, go get a funder side and spray it, 485 00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:47.160 but I hate to waste your time and money if 486 00:26:47.440 --> 00:26:49.680 that's not what we need to be doing. It's my 487 00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:52.599 best guess, but I don't I'm not happy with my 488 00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:53.680 best guess right now. 489 00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:57.759 Yeah, I'll be glad to take Also, I was saying 490 00:26:57.839 --> 00:26:58.960 a video actually, and. 491 00:26:59.200 --> 00:26:59.920 You want video or. 492 00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:05.079 Pictures are probably better.

I am gonna take a little 548 00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:18.200 break and we will be back with your questions at 549 00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:22.799 seven one three two one two kat r H. All right, 550 00:30:22.839 --> 00:30:26.720 I got a question for you, and how many of 551 00:30:26.759 --> 00:30:32.240 you have used codochrome film? Remember codo chrome film? When 552 00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:34.759 I first started doing photography, I do a lot of 553 00:30:34.799 --> 00:30:42.200 plant photography codochrome I made slides uh and uh actor chrome, 554 00:30:42.279 --> 00:30:44.680 codo chrome, those kind of films I use it. I 555 00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:47.559 don't know if anyone remembers that. Now what is film? 556 00:30:48.839 --> 00:30:50.880 Isn't it great that you don't have to take your 557 00:30:51.160 --> 00:30:54.240 film to someplace and get it developed, and then you 558 00:30:54.279 --> 00:30:56.559 get your packet of pictures and you look at them 559 00:30:56.680 --> 00:30:59.640 and throw half of them away because something was wrong 560 00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:03.119 when you took the picture. Now with digital, just like nap, 561 00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:07.519 delete that. Let's take it again. Boy? Is that ever nice? Anyway? 562 00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:11.960 Curious if any of you have used Coda chrome. Well, 563 00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:14.759 you're listening to Garden Line phone number seven one three 564 00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:17.559 two one two k t r H. I'm your host, 565 00:31:17.559 --> 00:31:19.279 Skip Richter, and we're here to help you have a 566 00:31:19.319 --> 00:31:22.880 bountiful garden and a beautiful landscape and more fun in 567 00:31:22.920 --> 00:31:27.920 the process. We were I was out in uh you 568 00:31:28.039 --> 00:31:31.440 mya Arizona this week for a little while and go 569 00:31:31.519 --> 00:31:33.480 out in the mornings as I like to do, sit 570 00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:35.359 out there with a cup of coffee and just just 571 00:31:35.559 --> 00:31:39.240 enjoy the day. Getting started listening to the birds. And 572 00:31:39.680 --> 00:31:41.319 I have a little app on my phone that I 573 00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:48.359 found out from rich at Wildbird's Unlimited. Uh, and there's 574 00:31:48.400 --> 00:31:51.480 we have six Wildbirds Unlimited stores. We got the Kingwood 575 00:31:51.519 --> 00:31:53.599 Store down on Kingwood Drive. We got the clear Lake 576 00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:57.640 Store on El Dorado, Pearland. There's on East Broadway. That's 577 00:31:57.640 --> 00:32:00.559 where the Wildbird is in Pairland. Wildbirds on Limited is 578 00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:04.519 in Pairland, the Houston Store on bel Air, the Houston 579 00:32:04.519 --> 00:32:08.480 Store on Memorial Drive, and in Cypress on Barker Cypress, 580 00:32:08.599 --> 00:32:11.880 or six of them. Anyway, they Richard told me about 581 00:32:12.440 --> 00:32:17.680 the Merlin app. It's produced by Cornell University and it's free. 582 00:32:17.759 --> 00:32:20.119 And I'm telling you, I don't know if I've ever 583 00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:24.599 seen an app that was so remarkable, so remarkable and 584 00:32:24.799 --> 00:32:27.400 free on top of it all. But you can take 585 00:32:27.400 --> 00:32:29.480 a picture of a bird and send it to the app. 586 00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:31.279 It tells you what the bird is. Or you can 587 00:32:31.359 --> 00:32:33.559 sit there and say, listen to this and tell me 588 00:32:33.599 --> 00:32:36.119 what it is. And I went out one morning and 589 00:32:36.599 --> 00:32:38.319 I turned it on a so what is that? And 590 00:32:38.319 --> 00:32:41.279 there were like probably five or six birds. I didn't 591 00:32:41.319 --> 00:32:42.759 know that at the time, I knew there was more 592 00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:45.480 than one bird, but I just sat there and what 593 00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:48.319 bird after bird kept appearing on my screen and it 594 00:32:48.359 --> 00:32:49.680 would tell you right what they are and you can 595 00:32:49.799 --> 00:32:52.119 learn about them and everything. It's really cool. But anyway, 596 00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:55.480 Wildbird's Unlimited, it's cool. By the way, we're in nesting 597 00:32:55.559 --> 00:32:58.319 season for many of our songbirds. The folks at Wildbird's 598 00:32:58.359 --> 00:33:02.839 Unlimited have designed the perfect blend for that and it 599 00:33:02.920 --> 00:33:05.319 is called the Nesting Super Blend. You're only going to 600 00:33:05.359 --> 00:33:08.119 be able to get it at Wildbirds Unlimited. You can 601 00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:10.640 purchase it in loose seed bags. You can buy it 602 00:33:10.680 --> 00:33:13.839 in the little compacted seed cylinders. It works, so you 603 00:33:13.880 --> 00:33:15.759 know whatever kind of feeder you have, it's going to work. 604 00:33:16.599 --> 00:33:19.079 You want to look for Nesting Super Blend at any 605 00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:22.359 of our six wild Birds Unlimited stores in the Greater 606 00:33:22.519 --> 00:33:28.279 Houston area.

And get some of that little nectar product. 610 00:33:43.319 --> 00:33:46.160 Nectar Defender, I believe is what it's called. Anyway, it 611 00:33:46.880 --> 00:33:50.400 makes the hummingbird nectar lasts longer. You know, sugar water 612 00:33:50.480 --> 00:33:53.200 on a warm day, sitting there for several days, doesn't 613 00:33:53.839 --> 00:33:57.039 it goes bad? And with this it'll extend that life out, 614 00:33:57.160 --> 00:34:00.519 oh maybe seven to ten days at least up there. 615 00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:05.119 Going forward, We're going to head out now to Atasca 616 00:34:05.240 --> 00:34:08.039 Seda and talk to Louis this morning. 617 00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:12.800 Hello Louise, Hello, Well, first of all, Skip, I have 618 00:34:12.920 --> 00:34:15.920 to tell you my husband and I came here after 619 00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:18.320 he got out of the Navy to Houston in sixty 620 00:34:18.400 --> 00:34:19.280 six for work. 621 00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:23.119 Been here ever since. But I grew up in Atascota County. 622 00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:27.679 You did, yes, Charlotte. 623 00:34:27.880 --> 00:34:31.480 Do I know you? And you grew up in Charlotte? 624 00:34:32.159 --> 00:34:35.800 Yeah, I'm I'm, I could probably be. I don't know 625 00:34:35.840 --> 00:34:36.599 your big sister. 626 00:34:39.119 --> 00:34:42.840 All right? All right, well I used to go u 627 00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:44.960 now here. Everybody's listening, going, when are you all going 628 00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:47.760 to quit this? I used to go work in peanut 629 00:34:47.840 --> 00:34:52.280 fields in Charlotte, moving irrigation pipe in the I know 630 00:34:52.440 --> 00:34:53.320 Charlotte very well. 631 00:34:54.239 --> 00:34:58.039 Yeah, because we were a Texas A and I kids. 632 00:34:59.639 --> 00:35:03.559 Okay, all right, Well you didn't call me to tell 633 00:35:03.559 --> 00:35:05.639 me that though, No, I didn't. 634 00:35:05.760 --> 00:35:10.199 I've called to you about stickyweed. That's what Randy called it, 635 00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:14.440 and it has it's been this, I mean this spring 636 00:35:14.519 --> 00:35:17.039 than ever. So I don't know what the proper name 637 00:35:17.280 --> 00:35:19.639 is it for it, but maybe you know about it. 638 00:35:19.719 --> 00:35:25.000 He just said, you just got to pull it, that. 639 00:35:24.920 --> 00:35:30.320 Is That is the case. Yeah, and it it has 640 00:35:30.360 --> 00:35:32.639 to have light to be able to germinate and come up, 641 00:35:32.800 --> 00:35:36.119 so you know, to avoid it in the future, keeping 642 00:35:36.159 --> 00:35:40.400 those beds mult where sunlight cannot reach the soil. Uh, 643 00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:43.480 it it can't get established. That and then that's the 644 00:35:43.599 --> 00:35:47.039 number one thing you do to avoid sentencing yourself to 645 00:35:47.119 --> 00:35:51.239 hand pulling weeds. Uh. There are some post emergent herbicides 646 00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:54.119 that will kill it, but in flower beds those products 647 00:35:54.199 --> 00:35:58.719 typically will kill your flowers too because they're like the 648 00:35:58.800 --> 00:36:01.119 sticky weed the broad leaves. 649 00:36:03.119 --> 00:36:06.199 Well, So anyway that yeah, and I know I've lost 650 00:36:06.239 --> 00:36:09.480 a lot of mulch in those areas and it's time 651 00:36:09.519 --> 00:36:12.719 to renew that. But anyway, so I need to get somebody. 652 00:36:12.760 --> 00:36:15.320 But long story, I just thought this is I was 653 00:36:15.400 --> 00:36:18.039 out yesterday looking at all that and pulling, and I thought, 654 00:36:18.119 --> 00:36:22.440 I've never seen it this bad. So anyway, that is 655 00:36:22.519 --> 00:36:26.480 a dollar we too have been just ferocious in the beds. 656 00:36:27.199 --> 00:36:30.159 So anyway, but just let me tell you when I 657 00:36:30.159 --> 00:36:32.760 heard you when you first introduced yourself on the radio 658 00:36:32.840 --> 00:36:35.199 and you said, you know where you you grew up 659 00:36:35.199 --> 00:36:40.360 in Jordantown or whatever, and I thought, oh my gosh, anyway, 660 00:36:40.519 --> 00:36:46.840 yeah with you, yeah, yeah, exactly.

He had to work to Charlotte Field. 667 00:37:04.960 --> 00:37:08.840 So my brother knew, probably some two years aad of me. 668 00:37:09.000 --> 00:37:11.760 So he's I said, do you remember Richters?

We want you to have success. And 724 00:40:23.719 --> 00:40:28.239 success means learning to think like a plant. Think about that, 725 00:40:28.599 --> 00:40:31.840 Think like a plant. How do you make a plant grow? 726 00:40:32.440 --> 00:40:36.440 It's really simple, it really is to give it what 727 00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:40.960 it wants. Does it want sun or shade? Does it 728 00:40:41.039 --> 00:40:42.840 like moist soil or does it prefer to be on 729 00:40:42.880 --> 00:40:47.760 the dry side. Does it grow in the summer, in 730 00:40:47.920 --> 00:40:50.880 the fall, the spring, the winter? What seasons is it 731 00:40:50.920 --> 00:40:53.559 going to do well? What varieties are you going to 732 00:40:53.599 --> 00:40:56.719 find that do well here? Because they're varieties that like 733 00:40:57.239 --> 00:40:59.519 our weather, you can't change the weather. You can't change 734 00:40:59.559 --> 00:41:02.119 a climate at the freezes and heat and all of 735 00:41:02.199 --> 00:41:04.679 that kind of stuff. But you can't pick a planet 736 00:41:04.880 --> 00:41:08.559 that wants those conditions that we have here. So that's 737 00:41:08.559 --> 00:41:10.199 what we do on Guardline has help you have a 738 00:41:10.199 --> 00:41:13.559 more bountful garden and a more beautiful landscape. We'll be 739 00:41:13.639 --> 00:41:20.559 right back hang on, run well, good morning, welcome back 740 00:41:20.599 --> 00:41:23.000 to garden Line. Good to have you with us. We 741 00:41:23.079 --> 00:41:27.519 are gonna run straight out this hour to Cleveland and 742 00:41:27.719 --> 00:41:30.480 talk to Ron. Hey, Ron, welcome to guard Line. 743 00:41:31.400 --> 00:41:32.199 Good morning Skip. 744 00:41:33.519 --> 00:41:36.639 I've used some ornimation that you've gave me to get 745 00:41:36.719 --> 00:41:40.119 my yard really good shape. I got bermuda grass and 746 00:41:40.639 --> 00:41:43.800 I've ideate a weed and it looks like it's green 747 00:41:43.960 --> 00:41:48.159 ki Linga and I use the Texas A and M 748 00:41:48.719 --> 00:41:54.679 turf Grass website. Little uh. It comes up three leaves 749 00:41:54.719 --> 00:41:59.320 with a sea pod in the center. I've got weed 750 00:41:59.400 --> 00:42:02.360 spray ful, I got weeds fray for it. I'm going 751 00:42:02.440 --> 00:42:06.480 to mow and bag the area. But I'm questioning when 752 00:42:06.519 --> 00:42:09.199 to put down pre emergent herbicide because I thought it 753 00:42:09.239 --> 00:42:13.880 was just like two times a year. So I'm looking 754 00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:15.880 well Kalinga information on that. 755 00:42:17.760 --> 00:42:23.440 Right. Kalinga germinates when the soil temperature is about sixty 756 00:42:23.760 --> 00:42:28.239 so that's about five degrees warmer than something like crabgrass, 757 00:42:28.239 --> 00:42:33.079 for example. So in the spring, on my schedule in February, 758 00:42:33.119 --> 00:42:36.079 we're talking about pre emergence to try to get ahead 759 00:42:36.079 --> 00:42:39.679 of things like crabgrass at that time. If you don't 760 00:42:39.679 --> 00:42:42.800 have other grassy weeds you're dealing with, you might delay 761 00:42:42.840 --> 00:42:45.679 it a little bit and do it. Let's see you 762 00:42:45.719 --> 00:42:51.920 were in Cleveland, I would say probably late February or 763 00:42:51.960 --> 00:42:58.239 early March. But those products of the barricade is pretty 764 00:42:58.239 --> 00:43:02.960 effective against color as a pre emergent. Post emergent, you 765 00:43:03.079 --> 00:43:07.519 got to go with the sedgehammer type product. And it's 766 00:43:07.559 --> 00:43:15.920 gonna take more than one application. Okay, kalinga is a yeah, 767 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:20.760 it is a sed johuh yeah, okay, Well let me 768 00:43:20.760 --> 00:43:23.760 put this way. We treat it. We treat it like 769 00:43:23.760 --> 00:43:27.800 I said, it's very closely kin to nutsedge and uh 770 00:43:28.320 --> 00:43:31.599 so when you do the sedgehammer, you're going to spray it. 771 00:43:31.920 --> 00:43:35.800 Make sure that I would do what's called sedgehammer plus. 772 00:43:36.639 --> 00:43:39.639 Uh it has a surfactant already in it to make 773 00:43:39.679 --> 00:43:44.039 it stick to slick weeds like nutsedge and klinga sedge 774 00:43:44.039 --> 00:43:47.760 haammer plus. And you're going to do it, and then 775 00:43:48.440 --> 00:43:51.599 colinga will not be killed by that, It'll be weakened, 776 00:43:51.760 --> 00:43:53.800 and when it starts to try to regrow, you hit 777 00:43:53.840 --> 00:43:58.199 it again. And the two applications generally will do the trick. 778 00:43:58.679 --> 00:44:00.800 But one, can I just throw one more thing out 779 00:44:00.800 --> 00:44:05.000 there on? Kalinga loves wet conditions, and if you have 780 00:44:05.119 --> 00:44:07.599 a way of drying that area out a little bit. 781 00:44:07.920 --> 00:44:10.599 Maybe it's not turning on the irrigation as much. Maybe 782 00:44:10.679 --> 00:44:13.480 it's putting in subsurface drainage to keep it from stay 783 00:44:13.480 --> 00:44:16.079 in a swamp, you know, or too wet you will. 784 00:44:16.239 --> 00:44:18.639 You will slow Kalinga down a lot, and it makes 785 00:44:18.639 --> 00:44:19.880 it easier to manage. 786 00:44:20.800 --> 00:44:23.320 Okay, Yeah, it's been pretty wet and I hadn't water 787 00:44:23.400 --> 00:44:27.400 to pole hot. I did put down pre emergent, but 788 00:44:27.400 --> 00:44:30.239 I think maybe I put it down too early in February. 789 00:44:30.639 --> 00:44:32.119 So I heard. 790 00:44:32.159 --> 00:44:34.599 I thought last week you're talking talking to a guy 791 00:44:34.719 --> 00:44:38.840 on the radio about putting down pre emergent like barricade Again, 792 00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:43.440 how often is it? Because I did it last fall, 793 00:44:43.880 --> 00:44:45.400 the end of summer that I did. 794 00:44:45.239 --> 00:44:49.880 It, Yeah, in early February? Can I do it? Applications? 795 00:44:50.400 --> 00:44:56.760 So these seeds, well, yeah, you could. Kalinga has primarily 796 00:44:57.079 --> 00:45:01.920 already germinated in our lawns, So you know that would 797 00:45:01.920 --> 00:45:06.920 be doing it about sixty ninety days later after the 798 00:45:07.039 --> 00:45:13.440 first application helps extend that pre emergent capability. But I 799 00:45:13.480 --> 00:45:17.480 think as far as the kalinga you're dealing with, probably 800 00:45:17.559 --> 00:45:20.840 not not as important to get that done a second time. 801 00:45:20.920 --> 00:45:21.360 Right now. 802 00:45:22.360 --> 00:45:24.760 I'm just want to prevent those I just want to 803 00:45:24.840 --> 00:45:27.119 kind of prevent those seeds that are there now from 804 00:45:27.800 --> 00:45:31.800 stay into the ground. So when would be the next barricade. 805 00:45:33.920 --> 00:45:37.119 Well, I mean you could, well, you can do a 806 00:45:37.159 --> 00:45:41.079 barricade now, but I would say in the in doing 807 00:45:41.159 --> 00:45:45.440 it in late February, if kalinga is your goal, would 808 00:45:45.480 --> 00:45:48.840 probably be a better time to do it. Those products 809 00:45:48.960 --> 00:45:55.320 last about sixty days, depending on several factors. But yeah, okay, 810 00:45:55.400 --> 00:45:59.280 but good luck getting ahead of that's it, Yes, sir, 811 00:45:59.639 --> 00:46:04.440 Thank you appreciate your call very much.

Hey, Mike, welcome to garden Line. 844 00:47:41.400 --> 00:47:45.440 Good morning, Skip, Thanks for taking my call. Yes, sir, 845 00:47:46.199 --> 00:47:48.519 got a question for you on the Saint Augustine grass 846 00:47:48.519 --> 00:47:52.079 and I did send some photos in I had put 847 00:47:52.159 --> 00:47:55.400 down this year. I had put down the early green 848 00:47:55.480 --> 00:47:56.519 up even before that. 849 00:47:56.559 --> 00:47:57.760 I put down the. 850 00:47:57.639 --> 00:48:01.920 Pre emergent herb side around early February, and I think 851 00:48:01.960 --> 00:48:06.199 the early green up around mid February, early spring, around 852 00:48:06.280 --> 00:48:11.000 March fifteenth, and then it's amazing mite in early April, 853 00:48:12.079 --> 00:48:14.360 and you can see from the photos there. I've had 854 00:48:14.360 --> 00:48:16.800 this occur a couple of years ago. I thought it 855 00:48:16.880 --> 00:48:19.679 was a fungus and I was treating it for fungus, 856 00:48:19.679 --> 00:48:21.639 but as it turned out, it was out by the 857 00:48:21.719 --> 00:48:23.440 curb and I think it was chinchbugs. 858 00:48:23.440 --> 00:48:25.840 It was probably a little bit later in the year, but. 859 00:48:25.880 --> 00:48:28.800 I'm not certain what I just want to get your 860 00:48:28.840 --> 00:48:31.679 thoughts on this, what this looks like, and maybe a 861 00:48:31.760 --> 00:48:36.559 potential product or two that might be able to remedy it. 862 00:48:37.880 --> 00:48:43.840 Yeah, you know my gut on it is a take 863 00:48:43.880 --> 00:48:47.880 all root rot, and you can't diagnose take all root 864 00:48:47.960 --> 00:48:50.800 rot looking at a picture, you know, accurately. But I've 865 00:48:50.800 --> 00:48:53.960 just seen it enough to wear those symptoms. It looked 866 00:48:54.000 --> 00:48:55.880 like maybe it got a little drought stressed out there, 867 00:48:55.960 --> 00:48:58.960 especially the one out by the curb. The other areas, 868 00:48:59.079 --> 00:49:02.559 it's just it's on erratic and it's interesting to see 869 00:49:02.599 --> 00:49:06.159 and it's struggling in some areas, So who knows. Originally 870 00:49:06.320 --> 00:49:09.599 there probably was a combination of things. If you get 871 00:49:09.599 --> 00:49:13.320 my schedule at gardeningwith Skip dot com, get the lawn 872 00:49:13.400 --> 00:49:15.719 pest Disease and weed schedule and look at take all. 873 00:49:15.880 --> 00:49:18.719 The primary time we go after take all is in 874 00:49:18.800 --> 00:49:23.079 the fall, in the fall season, but we also can 875 00:49:23.119 --> 00:49:25.599 come back in the spring and go after it then 876 00:49:25.760 --> 00:49:29.840 as well. You can do a little bit of pete 877 00:49:29.840 --> 00:49:35.119 moss top dressing. Pete must be in acidic and you'd 878 00:49:35.159 --> 00:49:38.920 put it very like a quarter inch or third of 879 00:49:38.960 --> 00:49:41.880 an inch deep, only it's very very little of it 880 00:49:41.920 --> 00:49:45.280 out there, but spreading it out that helps suppress the 881 00:49:45.320 --> 00:49:47.920 take all a little bit. And then the on the schedule. 882 00:49:48.119 --> 00:49:51.039 Is the ingredients that you spray that helped control the 883 00:49:51.079 --> 00:49:54.039 take all. I would go that route. It's the grass 884 00:49:54.079 --> 00:49:56.480 that's there, looks good and it looks like it has 885 00:49:56.559 --> 00:49:58.719 the ability to fill back in if we can get 886 00:49:58.760 --> 00:50:01.000 it healthy. Okay. 887 00:50:01.639 --> 00:50:04.280 Any particular chemical that I should be looking for or 888 00:50:04.360 --> 00:50:06.559 product that it is the Pete moss. 889 00:50:09.719 --> 00:50:16.119 Uh. The product is a zoxy stroban. That's the chemical name. 890 00:50:17.239 --> 00:50:20.199 But go on my schedule. It's on there and you 891 00:50:20.199 --> 00:50:22.639 can find out you can find out more about it 892 00:50:23.199 --> 00:50:27.199 on there. There are not many forms of a zoxy 893 00:50:27.280 --> 00:50:32.480 stroban out there on the market unfortunately, but that's the 894 00:50:32.480 --> 00:50:34.719 one that you're looking for. Okay. 895 00:50:34.880 --> 00:50:37.599 And I did want to mention I do remember codochrome. 896 00:50:37.679 --> 00:50:38.920 I do remember codochrome. 897 00:50:40.559 --> 00:50:45.360 Oh good, all right, Hey, thanks for the call. Appreciates 898 00:50:46.800 --> 00:50:49.880 there you go back in the day, all right, thanks sir. 899 00:50:50.400 --> 00:50:50.480 Uh. 900 00:50:50.559 --> 00:50:52.039 We're going to take a break right now. When we 901 00:50:52.119 --> 00:50:54.320 come back. Bob and Porter and John and deer Park 902 00:50:54.360 --> 00:50:55.239 you're our first two up. 903 00:50:55.840 --> 00:50:56.159 All right. 904 00:50:56.199 --> 00:50:58.519 Welcome back, folks, Welcome back to the garden Line. Good 905 00:50:58.559 --> 00:51:02.239 to have you with us. We are talking gardening today. 906 00:51:02.360 --> 00:51:05.000 You can join that party by giving as call seven 907 00:51:05.079 --> 00:51:10.199 one three two one two kt rh. Microlife Fertilizer six 908 00:51:10.320 --> 00:51:12.920 two four, that's the green bag is the number one 909 00:51:12.920 --> 00:51:16.239 selling organic fertilizer in Houston. It is not a salt 910 00:51:16.280 --> 00:51:20.880 based fertilizer. It is made from one was once living, 911 00:51:21.039 --> 00:51:23.760 you know, like composts was made from what was once living. 912 00:51:23.760 --> 00:51:23.960 Well. 913 00:51:24.000 --> 00:51:29.119 Microlife six two four is a wonderful relate ratio of 914 00:51:29.199 --> 00:51:32.159 nutrients at three one two ratio and it releases them 915 00:51:32.159 --> 00:51:35.079 slowly because microbes break it down and turn it back 916 00:51:35.159 --> 00:51:38.880 into the nutrients that plant need needs to take up 917 00:51:39.159 --> 00:51:41.760 to support growth. It really works on lawns. I would 918 00:51:41.760 --> 00:51:44.559 suggest if you're doing the six two four, go ahead 919 00:51:44.559 --> 00:51:47.239 and get Microlife HU mats Plus. That's the purple bag 920 00:51:47.519 --> 00:51:50.519 six two four is the green bag. HU mats plus. 921 00:51:50.599 --> 00:51:53.920 The Purple bag HU mats plus is concentrated compost in 922 00:51:53.960 --> 00:51:55.760 a bag. Now you can use it anywhere, just not 923 00:51:55.880 --> 00:51:58.000 just a lawn thing. You can mix it into the 924 00:51:58.039 --> 00:52:01.039 soil with whatever you're going to grow or plant or whatever. 925 00:52:01.480 --> 00:52:04.480 But in the in a line, what happens is as 926 00:52:04.519 --> 00:52:07.159 you add the humans plus year after year and you're 927 00:52:07.199 --> 00:52:10.519 continuing to build it up, you're improving the soil quality. 928 00:52:10.960 --> 00:52:15.599 You're putting humus into the soil. It's good for microbial activity, 929 00:52:15.599 --> 00:52:18.000 it's good for soil structure. It forms a lot of 930 00:52:18.039 --> 00:52:21.840 things in the soil. Two products of many products from 931 00:52:21.920 --> 00:52:25.199 the folks at microlife that are widely available and at work. 932 00:52:25.559 --> 00:52:29.679 That's the bottom line. They work. Let's go now to 933 00:52:30.599 --> 00:52:35.280 Bob in Porter, Texas. Hey, Bob, welcome to garden line. 934 00:52:35.679 --> 00:52:36.960 How did you get up? How he does? 935 00:52:38.719 --> 00:52:39.360 I'm good, sir. 936 00:52:40.760 --> 00:52:42.239 I've got a. 937 00:52:42.159 --> 00:52:44.760 Couple of things that when I'm planting with damatoes, I 938 00:52:44.760 --> 00:52:47.239 always put a little bit of lime in. Do I 939 00:52:47.280 --> 00:52:50.440 need to re up that? You know I'm getting I'm 940 00:52:50.440 --> 00:52:52.960 getting a lot of tomatoes right now. Nothing right, but 941 00:52:53.000 --> 00:52:56.400 I don't want to get to bom right on the end. 942 00:52:58.400 --> 00:53:03.239 Yeah, so the blue I'd be careful with overdoing the lime. 943 00:53:03.320 --> 00:53:04.679 You know, if you do it every time and you 944 00:53:04.760 --> 00:53:08.159 add more lime, you can get up the calcium levels 945 00:53:08.199 --> 00:53:10.440 a little too high, and that creates its own problems. 946 00:53:10.800 --> 00:53:13.039 The bloom rot is because of a lack of calcium 947 00:53:13.079 --> 00:53:16.440 to the end of the fruit, but usually it's caused 948 00:53:16.519 --> 00:53:20.119 by water fluctuations. You get a new tomato plant in 949 00:53:20.159 --> 00:53:22.639 the spring doesn't have a good strong root system. You 950 00:53:22.719 --> 00:53:26.000 see more of the blossom in androt early on than 951 00:53:26.039 --> 00:53:28.760 you do later on that same plant. But if it 952 00:53:28.800 --> 00:53:31.239 gets real dry and goes to wet or wet or dry, 953 00:53:31.360 --> 00:53:34.079 that's that's when we see more of the blossom androt, 954 00:53:34.119 --> 00:53:36.519 which is why it can happen really bad. And a 955 00:53:36.599 --> 00:53:40.840 container as well. So I would watch the water fluctuations 956 00:53:41.320 --> 00:53:43.159 as a primary thing, and then it'd get a little 957 00:53:43.159 --> 00:53:46.159 soil test done and see where you are on calcium levels. 958 00:53:46.199 --> 00:53:50.199 You may already have enough calcium, all right, sir, And. 959 00:53:50.119 --> 00:53:52.280 One more line quickly, if I could, I've got it. 960 00:53:52.360 --> 00:53:56.719 I bought a little low key lamb key lamb, and 961 00:53:57.000 --> 00:54:00.599 I posited up with just big enough in the house 962 00:54:00.639 --> 00:54:02.960 for the for the winter time, and. 963 00:54:03.039 --> 00:54:05.960 I get, I get lots of balloons, but no key line. Shit, 964 00:54:06.639 --> 00:54:09.880 I don't know what what's going on there? Good balloons, No, no, 965 00:54:10.079 --> 00:54:10.599 no fruit. 966 00:54:12.559 --> 00:54:14.480 You got to have bees to come by and do 967 00:54:14.559 --> 00:54:18.159 the pollinating. That's number one. So if there's not a 968 00:54:18.199 --> 00:54:20.639 bee doing it, then you've got to do the bees job. 969 00:54:20.719 --> 00:54:24.360 Get your little artists paintbrush and and tickle the flowers 970 00:54:24.400 --> 00:54:26.760 as you go around, making sure you're doing the bees 971 00:54:26.800 --> 00:54:30.239 work or spreading pollen around. Uh, that would be the 972 00:54:30.320 --> 00:54:32.960 number one thing. If the bloom's set, but then the 973 00:54:33.000 --> 00:54:35.960 little tiny fruit falls off, well that's a different thing, 974 00:54:36.119 --> 00:54:40.360 and that happens often on a young plant. If a 975 00:54:40.440 --> 00:54:43.599 plant overloads with those little, tiny, tiny blooms, that will 976 00:54:43.679 --> 00:54:46.199 also cause them to aboord a bunch of them. But 977 00:54:46.239 --> 00:54:50.119 I suspect probably it's a pollination issue based on what 978 00:54:50.159 --> 00:54:50.719 you're telling me. 979 00:54:52.079 --> 00:54:54.480 All right, sir, and so, but I don't need two. 980 00:54:54.880 --> 00:54:57.559 I don't need two of the trees. Just one still, Okay, 981 00:54:57.920 --> 00:54:59.440 as long as I get out there with my little 982 00:54:59.480 --> 00:55:03.719 paint brush and pollinated myself, yes on. 983 00:55:03.639 --> 00:55:05.920 That plant, one is okay, sure. 984 00:55:05.800 --> 00:55:11.760 Enough, Okay, yeah, so much, Thank you, you bet. 985 00:55:11.679 --> 00:55:15.039 Thanks for the call.

Yes, sir, can you hear me? 1015 00:56:55.559 --> 00:56:58.320 How are you today? Okay? 1016 00:56:59.719 --> 00:57:00.559 Quick about uh? 1017 00:57:03.639 --> 00:57:04.639 Last summer planted? 1018 00:57:06.760 --> 00:57:10.199 H can you hear me now? 1019 00:57:12.360 --> 00:57:16.079 Yes? Okay, So last summer I planted, there we go. 1020 00:57:17.199 --> 00:57:20.480 Last spring I planted two. I think they're they're pigmy 1021 00:57:20.599 --> 00:57:25.639 multi trunk palms. They're small, they're only about a foot 1022 00:57:26.199 --> 00:57:28.599 foot and a half high, but they like each one 1023 00:57:28.679 --> 00:57:32.280 had three trunks coming off of it. Well after the freeze, 1024 00:57:33.280 --> 00:57:39.719 all the fawns uh fell you know, died and fell off. 1025 00:57:40.960 --> 00:57:43.159 So I don't see any new life coming from the 1026 00:57:43.239 --> 00:57:47.519 trunk except for the bass. There's some new growth around 1027 00:57:47.519 --> 00:57:48.440 the bays. 1028 00:57:49.280 --> 00:57:52.920 I just wanted to see if there. Does that mean 1029 00:57:52.960 --> 00:58:01.079 they're yeah, yeah, your questions throwing me off a little bit. 1030 00:58:01.400 --> 00:58:05.679 The pigmy itself is a single trunk palm, but they 1031 00:58:05.719 --> 00:58:09.679 often you will often get them as more than one plant, 1032 00:58:09.880 --> 00:58:12.360 kind of put all together near around the bottom. So 1033 00:58:13.239 --> 00:58:15.840 I'm not sure if you're dealing with a pigmy being 1034 00:58:15.880 --> 00:58:19.639 a single trunk palm, it's not gonna put up new 1035 00:58:19.719 --> 00:58:25.079 shoots from the bottom. It doesn't sucker. Now, in nature 1036 00:58:26.320 --> 00:58:28.400 you do see that a lot, but most of the 1037 00:58:28.480 --> 00:58:33.960 time in cultivated palms in our yards and stuff. They 1038 00:58:34.199 --> 00:58:36.480 they don't do that, but growers will put three or 1039 00:58:36.480 --> 00:58:39.599 four plants in one pot to make a nice fuller specimen. 1040 00:58:40.400 --> 00:58:44.320 So I guess it could be a pigmy. Here's the deal. 1041 00:58:44.519 --> 00:58:48.239 Here's the reason, the reason I'm I'm going through that 1042 00:58:48.400 --> 00:58:51.360 is a palm tree has most palm trees have one 1043 00:58:51.440 --> 00:58:53.760 living bud, and that's at the top, and if it dies, 1044 00:58:53.800 --> 00:58:56.760 the palm is dead. No matter what. There's no nowhere 1045 00:58:56.800 --> 00:59:00.679 for it to come back. Some palms can sucker out 1046 00:59:00.679 --> 00:59:02.639 of the bottom, and then if you lose the top 1047 00:59:02.679 --> 00:59:05.400 there's the potential for getting a plant back out of it. 1048 00:59:05.480 --> 00:59:10.960 So sounds like you may be seeing that happening on yours, okay, 1049 00:59:11.039 --> 00:59:16.559 so just be patiently. Well that's that's all that's in 1050 00:59:16.639 --> 00:59:21.760 your power. You know, if we could, we could know 1051 00:59:22.000 --> 00:59:25.039 for sure when you say you're seeing, are you're seeing 1052 00:59:25.039 --> 00:59:27.280 like a little kind of a bump at the bottom 1053 00:59:27.320 --> 00:59:29.320 with some leaves coming out? Or what are you seeing 1054 00:59:30.079 --> 00:59:30.400 like a. 1055 00:59:30.400 --> 00:59:35.559 Full uh what do we call them? Bronze or bronze 1056 00:59:37.119 --> 00:59:41.760 the Yeah, it's like a fool okay, coming from the 1057 00:59:41.960 --> 00:59:43.639 like the base of the tree. 1058 00:59:45.320 --> 00:59:48.360 Then in that case, I think you're okay, Uh, that 1059 00:59:48.519 --> 00:59:52.079 old shoot has been dead a long time now, the 1060 00:59:52.119 --> 00:59:55.440 old trunk, and uh pretty soon here you if you 1061 00:59:55.480 --> 00:59:57.840 want to take it out. And it sounds like you 1062 00:59:57.920 --> 01:00:03.000 got something coming back from the base, so yeah, whatever 1063 01:00:03.159 --> 01:00:08.039 whatever them, Yeah, yeah, whatever is going on there, that's 1064 01:00:08.079 --> 01:00:13.039 a good thing. That's a good thing. Would you cut 1065 01:00:13.039 --> 01:00:17.960 the old trunk? All right? Okay, yes, you know, let's 1066 01:00:17.960 --> 01:00:20.880 get it. Just because I'm not real sure which creature 1067 01:00:20.920 --> 01:00:23.480 we're talking about here for sure, Let's just give it 1068 01:00:23.519 --> 01:00:25.960 a little more time and once we get into June, 1069 01:00:26.039 --> 01:00:28.880 if you don't see any sign of growth at the top, 1070 01:00:28.960 --> 01:00:30.440 or if you kind of poke around up there and 1071 01:00:30.480 --> 01:00:32.719 it just it's just all dead in there, then you 1072 01:00:32.760 --> 01:00:36.920 can cut it out. Sometimes things are slow to come back, 1073 01:00:36.960 --> 01:00:39.000 but there's life in it, so we want to let 1074 01:00:39.039 --> 01:00:41.119 it get pretty good and hot for a while before 1075 01:00:41.159 --> 01:00:45.440 we give up on it. All right, sir, thank you? 1076 01:00:46.320 --> 01:00:50.920 All right, well, good luck, Thank you. I appreciate appreciate 1077 01:00:50.960 --> 01:00:58.000 your call very much. Jungle Land is actually two products 1078 01:00:58.199 --> 01:01:01.480 distributed by Nitroposs, and one of them is I was 1079 01:01:01.480 --> 01:01:03.960 talking about it earlier, the jungle and flour and vegetable 1080 01:01:04.000 --> 01:01:06.519 planting soil. The other one is the indoor version. It's 1081 01:01:06.519 --> 01:01:09.840 called jungle land water saving potting soil. It's got the 1082 01:01:09.880 --> 01:01:13.800 crystals in it that hold the water an extra long time, 1083 01:01:14.119 --> 01:01:16.840 so that as that potting mech dries out, the crystal 1084 01:01:16.920 --> 01:01:19.400 still have moisture to supply your plants. Now you're going 1085 01:01:19.440 --> 01:01:21.639 to find Nito FoST products at many places. You go 1086 01:01:21.719 --> 01:01:25.800 down to Clute Lake Hardware on Dixie Drive, Fisher's Hardware 1087 01:01:26.559 --> 01:01:30.039 in Baytown on Alexander, or go out to Branham Plants 1088 01:01:30.039 --> 01:01:36.119 and things. They carry Nightofoss products out there as well. Well. 1089 01:01:36.280 --> 01:01:39.840 I am looking at hitting a hard break here pretty quick. 1090 01:01:40.599 --> 01:01:42.679 I did want to mention though to you. I talk 1091 01:01:42.719 --> 01:01:45.159 about Medina products a lot, and the has to grow 1092 01:01:45.199 --> 01:01:46.920 six to twelve six. If you're going to put a 1093 01:01:46.920 --> 01:01:49.079 plant in the ground, you need to just keep it 1094 01:01:49.079 --> 01:01:51.760 on your shelf out there in the garage or in 1095 01:01:51.760 --> 01:01:55.320 your gardening shed. Aster grows six twelve six mixed in water, 1096 01:01:55.519 --> 01:01:59.559 drenched in provides lots of phosphorus and other good things. 1097 01:01:59.599 --> 01:02:02.480 It's got humic acid and it's got seaweed extracts and 1098 01:02:02.679 --> 01:02:06.400 Medina soil activator in it. You soak it in wait 1099 01:02:06.400 --> 01:02:08.840 about a week or so. Soak it in again. Wait 1100 01:02:08.840 --> 01:02:12.119 about another week, do that third application and that plant 1101 01:02:12.199 --> 01:02:15.599 will as I like say, hit the ground running. It 1102 01:02:15.800 --> 01:02:19.039 just performs well. Medina has to grow six twelve six 1103 01:02:19.360 --> 01:02:23.000 plant food widely available here in the greater Houston area. 1104 01:02:23.159 --> 01:02:25.320 I'll take a break now and we'll be right back 1105 01:02:25.400 --> 01:02:28.320 with a call from Bill and Sugar Lamb.

We're going to go 1158 01:05:24.960 --> 01:05:28.320 now to Bill in Sugarland. Hey, Bill, welcome to garden Line. 1159 01:05:29.360 --> 01:05:30.280 Well, thank you, Skip. 1160 01:05:30.760 --> 01:05:32.920 I am the Bill that sent you the picture last 1161 01:05:32.920 --> 01:05:34.400 evening of the little yellow. 1162 01:05:34.159 --> 01:05:37.760 Worm receiving my grape grape grape vine leaves. 1163 01:05:37.800 --> 01:05:40.239 And I want to know how can get rid of it? 1164 01:05:41.840 --> 01:05:44.960 Well, I believe it or not, I do not recognize 1165 01:05:45.360 --> 01:05:49.559 that caterpillar. It is not any of the common grape 1166 01:05:49.840 --> 01:05:53.840 eating caterpillars. Now obviously it is eating your grape. So 1167 01:05:54.480 --> 01:05:57.519 here's the deal. Forget what its name is. We need 1168 01:05:57.559 --> 01:06:02.519 to spray those that of any kind of plant like 1169 01:06:02.559 --> 01:06:05.360 that that you see. Spray it with either BT, a 1170 01:06:05.400 --> 01:06:09.639 product containing bt bs and boy teas and tom, or 1171 01:06:09.719 --> 01:06:13.280 a product containing spin, no said. And it's like the 1172 01:06:13.280 --> 01:06:18.920 word spin the letter O and the words sad Spino sad. 1173 01:06:19.480 --> 01:06:22.280 And either one of those sprayed on the foliage. When 1174 01:06:22.320 --> 01:06:26.000 a leaf feeding pest chumps that foliage, the Spino said, 1175 01:06:26.159 --> 01:06:30.159 or the BT, if it's a caterpillar, will will shut 1176 01:06:30.159 --> 01:06:34.519 it down. The BT spray about every three days for 1177 01:06:34.559 --> 01:06:37.159 a little while, the Spino said, will last a little 1178 01:06:37.199 --> 01:06:37.880 bit longer than now. 1179 01:06:38.840 --> 01:06:40.239 Okay, And where can I find those? 1180 01:06:42.559 --> 01:06:45.119 They're easy to find.

The new 1197 01:07:46.239 --> 01:07:49.679 expansion they did, I believe about a year ago is 1198 01:07:49.960 --> 01:07:53.280 it just makes it even better because when you walk 1199 01:07:53.320 --> 01:07:56.000 in there, you're going to find products that you just 1200 01:07:56.119 --> 01:07:58.559 don't find a lot of places.

Two eight one, three five, 1210 01:08:29.000 --> 01:08:33.239 one seventy one forty four. Let's go now to Pearland. 1211 01:08:33.279 --> 01:08:35.439 We're going to talk to Sharon. Hey, Sharon, welcome to 1212 01:08:35.479 --> 01:08:36.159 garden Line. 1213 01:08:37.000 --> 01:08:41.000 Hi, scoop, thanks for taking my call. I called about 1214 01:08:41.279 --> 01:08:46.479 my Saint Augustine. Thought that I recently put down in 1215 01:08:46.600 --> 01:08:51.760 a very large bear area underneath an oak tree. So's 1216 01:08:51.840 --> 01:08:54.279 it's down there, and during the week we got about 1217 01:08:54.279 --> 01:08:57.800 an inch and a quarter of rain. So what I 1218 01:08:57.840 --> 01:09:01.239 want to know is how much that I be watering 1219 01:09:02.479 --> 01:09:07.720 that sod going into next week and beyond. It's going 1220 01:09:07.800 --> 01:09:14.079 to be warm next week. They say, yeah, well I 1221 01:09:14.159 --> 01:09:17.960 planted some of it a week ago and some of 1222 01:09:18.000 --> 01:09:21.159 it was planted yesterday. 1223 01:09:21.439 --> 01:09:25.279 Okay. So the general rule on sod is twice a 1224 01:09:25.359 --> 01:09:27.880 day the first week, once a day the second week, 1225 01:09:28.000 --> 01:09:30.720 and then start backing off to where you're only watering 1226 01:09:30.760 --> 01:09:35.199 once or twice a week eventually, so under the shade 1227 01:09:35.239 --> 01:09:39.239 of a tree, it's a little less demanding. But when 1228 01:09:39.279 --> 01:09:42.439 we say twice a day, we're not talking about an 1229 01:09:42.479 --> 01:09:45.119 inch of water twice a day, right, We're talking about 1230 01:09:45.159 --> 01:09:48.600 just a little bit to keep That sod came in 1231 01:09:48.680 --> 01:09:51.800 with very little root system because they sliced it all 1232 01:09:51.840 --> 01:09:54.640 off with the clay when they harvested the sod, and 1233 01:09:54.720 --> 01:09:57.640 so you got to keep that moist and the ground 1234 01:09:57.640 --> 01:10:01.279 below it a little bit moist is well in order 1235 01:10:01.279 --> 01:10:05.159 for it to thrive. So kind of make your decision 1236 01:10:05.159 --> 01:10:07.079 on that the one that you planted a week ago. 1237 01:10:07.239 --> 01:10:09.920 Definitely a little bit once a day would be enough. 1238 01:10:10.560 --> 01:10:10.680 Uh. 1239 01:10:10.840 --> 01:10:12.520 The fact that we got a lot of rain and 1240 01:10:12.560 --> 01:10:16.319 everything got wet is good, But just remember that didn't 1241 01:10:16.359 --> 01:10:18.960 make that what was maybe a half inch long root 1242 01:10:19.079 --> 01:10:22.279 suddenly become a six inch long root that can take 1243 01:10:22.399 --> 01:10:24.960 up the moisture that fell out of the sky. So 1244 01:10:25.359 --> 01:10:28.279 I'm just saying, help it along for a couple of weeks, 1245 01:10:28.720 --> 01:10:31.399 making sure it gets some roots down, and then you 1246 01:10:31.720 --> 01:10:32.479 can back off. 1247 01:10:33.640 --> 01:10:36.479 Okay, Okay, what I noticed when I kind of pulled 1248 01:10:36.479 --> 01:10:39.840 it up, these little fine white roots. Is that what 1249 01:10:39.920 --> 01:10:40.680 it should look like? 1250 01:10:42.520 --> 01:10:42.680 Oh? 1251 01:10:42.760 --> 01:10:50.199 Yes, yeah, underneath the uh huh yeah, Well I don't know. 1252 01:10:50.279 --> 01:10:53.520 I mean, I'm not seeing the roots.

Bring, home 1605 01:30:38.640 --> 01:30:43.439 well that's. Historically True, probably okay maybe, you did but it's. 1606 01:30:43.560 --> 01:30:46.880 Not inevitable and you do not have a. BROWN thumb 1607 01:30:47.720 --> 01:30:49.920 i want you to listen. To me you do not 1608 01:30:50.319 --> 01:30:52.760 have a. BROWN thumb i promise you you do not 1609 01:30:52.880 --> 01:30:55.960 have a. Brown thumb don't tell me about how many plants. 1610 01:30:56.000 --> 01:30:59.479 You killed, That's fine i've killed, plants myself but you 1611 01:30:59.520 --> 01:31:01.560 do not have a. Brown thumb here's what. Goes wrong 1612 01:31:02.359 --> 01:31:05.239 we don't know what to do for, a plant or 1613 01:31:05.279 --> 01:31:08.640 we neglect doing what we know, to do and then the. Plant, 1614 01:31:08.680 --> 01:31:12.159 struggles okay but it's not your. Thumb's color and if 1615 01:31:12.199 --> 01:31:14.760 you insist on talking in terms of brown and, Green 1616 01:31:14.800 --> 01:31:17.279 thumbs i'll do it. This way if you have a 1617 01:31:17.279 --> 01:31:19.239 brown thumb and you want it to, be green you 1618 01:31:19.279 --> 01:31:21.439 got to inform. Your thumb so bring your thumb. With 1619 01:31:21.520 --> 01:31:23.119 you sit down in front of the radio here on 1620 01:31:23.239 --> 01:31:25.800 guarden line and let your thumb listen To what. I'm 1621 01:31:25.840 --> 01:31:29.000 saying and the smarter your, thumb gets the greener it's going. 1622 01:31:29.079 --> 01:31:32.000 To be that's a, little Silly but i'm making, a 1623 01:31:32.039 --> 01:31:36.000 point and that point is give plants what. They want, 1624 01:31:36.439 --> 01:31:39.199 you know you go to a good quality garden Center 1625 01:31:39.319 --> 01:31:43.439 like arborgate.

To, Jen, Hello jen welcome To. 1668 01:33:55.199 --> 01:33:56.720 Garden line. 1669 01:33:57.000 --> 01:34:00.840 THANK you i have a friend who is baseticularly blind 1670 01:34:00.920 --> 01:34:03.680 and he doesn't have, much money so he can't really 1671 01:34:03.720 --> 01:34:07.600 afford to have someone cut. His yard my idea was 1672 01:34:07.760 --> 01:34:11.359 to kill whatever grass there is and weed in the 1673 01:34:11.359 --> 01:34:15.399 front yard and plant a. Ground cover WHAT would i 1674 01:34:15.520 --> 01:34:19.399 use to kill the weeds and what kind of ground 1675 01:34:19.439 --> 01:34:20.680 COVER could? I, use. 1676 01:34:23.119 --> 01:34:26.199 Well there's a lot of products. Out there there are 1677 01:34:26.199 --> 01:34:28.920 products that just kill, broad leaves products that just, Kill 1678 01:34:28.960 --> 01:34:32.880 grasses but chances are he's got both in that weedy, 1679 01:34:33.039 --> 01:34:36.520 lawn area and so you need a product that is 1680 01:34:36.720 --> 01:34:41.039 a non selective it. Kills everything there's, two products one 1681 01:34:41.079 --> 01:34:43.640 of them they have. Similar names one of them. Is 1682 01:34:43.720 --> 01:34:47.000 glycosy that is what is used to be called. Round 1683 01:34:47.119 --> 01:34:50.439 up now you have to buy glaphyzate in different names than, 1684 01:34:50.520 --> 01:34:54.119 round up don't the garden centers don't carry glaphyse eate. 1685 01:34:54.199 --> 01:35:00.159 Roundup typically the other one is glu. Glue phoscinate it 1686 01:35:00.239 --> 01:35:03.199 sounds a, little similar but glu foscinate is in a 1687 01:35:03.239 --> 01:35:07.520 Product called finale that, is one and it will. Kill 1688 01:35:07.880 --> 01:35:11.239 everything it doesn't do as good a job as the 1689 01:35:11.239 --> 01:35:13.479 glyphys eate and moving down and killing everything in, a 1690 01:35:13.479 --> 01:35:16.640 weed but it does a. Good job and so if 1691 01:35:16.680 --> 01:35:18.640 you don't want to some people don't want to, use glyphysate. 1692 01:35:18.680 --> 01:35:23.119 That's fine glueoscinate's another option. For that but you're gonna here's, 1693 01:35:23.119 --> 01:35:26.800 the Thing jen you're gonna want to spray and then 1694 01:35:26.880 --> 01:35:28.960 wait about it's going to take a while for them 1695 01:35:29.000 --> 01:35:31.800 to go. To work and then after a couple of 1696 01:35:31.800 --> 01:35:34.239 weeks you look at it and, You're, GOING okay i 1697 01:35:34.319 --> 01:35:37.079 missed a spot here or that didn't quite. Get killed 1698 01:35:37.399 --> 01:35:39.680 you spray it again and you wait another couple. Of, 1699 01:35:39.760 --> 01:35:42.880 weeks so and the reason is if you get most 1700 01:35:42.960 --> 01:35:44.520 of it but not all, of it and then you, 1701 01:35:44.560 --> 01:35:47.840 plant something you're going to have those weeds in what, 1702 01:35:47.960 --> 01:35:49.840 you plant and you don't. Want that you want to 1703 01:35:49.840 --> 01:35:53.359 get rid. Of them then choose a groundcover for, the 1704 01:35:53.479 --> 01:35:56.039 area and there's a lot of good options. Out there 1705 01:35:58.359 --> 01:35:59.920 it kind of depends on what you want to. Look at. 1706 01:36:00.680 --> 01:36:04.039 You Know the asian jasmine is used a lot. 1707 01:36:04.239 --> 01:36:04.319 In. 1708 01:36:04.439 --> 01:36:09.439 Groundcovers here you did, nice shiny dark green leaves and 1709 01:36:09.520 --> 01:36:12.399 it's a little vine that goes along. The ground that's 1710 01:36:12.439 --> 01:36:15.920 an option that you. Can do then there's native. Ground 1711 01:36:15.960 --> 01:36:21.039 covers there's one called frog fruit that does. Really well 1712 01:36:21.079 --> 01:36:23.840 you get it native. Plant places it's a vining type. 1713 01:36:23.840 --> 01:36:28.199 Of plant AND so i can't tell you which one 1714 01:36:28.439 --> 01:36:30.960 they would like, the most but if you go to 1715 01:36:31.000 --> 01:36:34.119 a good quality, garden center you're going to be able 1716 01:36:34.199 --> 01:36:37.279 to have them advise you on what they carry that 1717 01:36:37.359 --> 01:36:39.560 might be a, good mix a.

To, Bill, hey bill. 1743 01:37:58.239 --> 01:38:03.800 Good morning my problem involves white flies on. A viburnum 1744 01:38:03.880 --> 01:38:07.840 the vibronum is about seven feet tall by seven. FEET 1745 01:38:07.920 --> 01:38:11.239 across i WOULD say i learned from you last year 1746 01:38:12.159 --> 01:38:19.359 that the systemic imitoclopramide works well to minimize. The PROBLEM 1747 01:38:19.439 --> 01:38:22.359 so i have used that around the base of the 1748 01:38:22.439 --> 01:38:27.359 tree six times Since last july and early. This spring 1749 01:38:27.720 --> 01:38:31.800 the leaves were really nice and green and not all 1750 01:38:31.840 --> 01:38:34.880 discolored like they were last year from the mold that. 1751 01:38:35.079 --> 01:38:39.039 Is GRAY so i was really happy. About that BUT 1752 01:38:39.159 --> 01:38:44.800 then i looked and, they're. Back Unfortunately so i've continued 1753 01:38:45.079 --> 01:38:49.520 the Imiclopramide and i've used by finthrom also to, spray 1754 01:38:49.520 --> 01:38:53.960 it and that there's about but they, come back And 1755 01:38:54.039 --> 01:38:56.039 so i'm wondering what ELSE could. 1756 01:38:56.079 --> 01:38:56.560 I Do. 1757 01:38:58.159 --> 01:39:00.640 White flies are a problem when you so when you use, 1758 01:39:00.880 --> 01:39:04.439 the amidacloprid you shouldn't have to use it six times 1759 01:39:04.520 --> 01:39:06.479 in that amount. Of time it lasts a pretty, good 1760 01:39:06.520 --> 01:39:11.720 while so don't. Overdo it but the bithenthren and other 1761 01:39:11.760 --> 01:39:15.319 insecticides kill the things that are the enemies of, white 1762 01:39:15.359 --> 01:39:18.319 flies which can help keep them. In check sometimes we. 1763 01:39:18.399 --> 01:39:20.800 Have OUTBREAKS but i find that the more, you spray 1764 01:39:21.439 --> 01:39:24.159 the more white fly problems, you have because their populations 1765 01:39:24.199 --> 01:39:27.520 bounce back faster than the beneficials that keep them in. 1766 01:39:27.640 --> 01:39:31.279 Check do and so you might want to try using 1767 01:39:31.479 --> 01:39:37.319 a horticultural oil spray upward from beneath the foliage to 1768 01:39:38.439 --> 01:39:41.000 coat the bottoms of the leaves as best. You, can 1769 01:39:41.520 --> 01:39:43.920 SO AND i i got about ten seconds HERE before 1770 01:39:43.920 --> 01:39:47.239 i have, to stop but horticultural oil. Sprayed upward you 1771 01:39:47.319 --> 01:39:49.000 got to coat the bottom of the leaves and do 1772 01:39:49.079 --> 01:39:51.680 it about every other week for a while and see 1773 01:39:51.680 --> 01:39:54.079 if that gets ahead.

With, Bill, HEY bill i think 1802 01:41:24.840 --> 01:41:25.960 you may have to. FOLLOW up. 1803 01:41:26.960 --> 01:41:29.560 I do i have two. Brief questions one is with the. 1804 01:41:29.600 --> 01:41:33.800 Horticultural oil do you have some ideas on HOW do 1805 01:41:33.920 --> 01:41:37.199 i get underneath? The leaves what's the best way to 1806 01:41:37.239 --> 01:41:40.600 spray or what kind of SPRAYER can i use to 1807 01:41:40.680 --> 01:41:41.439 get actually on. 1808 01:41:41.479 --> 01:41:43.000 The underside. 1809 01:41:44.199 --> 01:41:47.880 That's a. GOOD question i wish they made sprayers with 1810 01:41:47.920 --> 01:41:50.960 different kinds. Of wands, you know the typical spray wand 1811 01:41:51.399 --> 01:41:54.640 you almost have to stoop over and turn your hand 1812 01:41:54.680 --> 01:41:57.560 around to get upward underneath. The leaves they should make 1813 01:41:57.600 --> 01:42:01.279 them like those old alpine fugel Horns the ricola commercials 1814 01:42:01.279 --> 01:42:03.600 where the guy's blowing the horn and the bottom of 1815 01:42:03.640 --> 01:42:06.000 the horns on the ground. Turns up if we could 1816 01:42:06.039 --> 01:42:09.079 stand up right and just spray, that way that would 1817 01:42:09.079 --> 01:42:12.279 be the that would be best for soaps and oils 1818 01:42:12.319 --> 01:42:15.439 and things that. We apply but the the white fly 1819 01:42:15.600 --> 01:42:20.359 eggs and the white fly pupa and larva are underneath, 1820 01:42:20.640 --> 01:42:24.960 the leaf and so oil doesn't poison, its smothers and 1821 01:42:25.000 --> 01:42:27.439 so if you don't get, good coverage you're not going 1822 01:42:27.520 --> 01:42:29.760 to get. Good control so with, THE oil i was 1823 01:42:29.800 --> 01:42:32.560 trying to stay away from another insecticide that would just 1824 01:42:32.640 --> 01:42:36.760 kill the beneficials. And stuff THAT'S why i suggested that 1825 01:42:37.119 --> 01:42:39.680 if you wanted to stay with the, amitic cloprid you can. 1826 01:42:39.880 --> 01:42:42.079 Just it sounded like you've been applying it, a lot 1827 01:42:42.319 --> 01:42:46.119 so it should give you several months of control when you. 1828 01:42:46.159 --> 01:42:53.439 DO apply i would say if you did a couple 1829 01:42:53.479 --> 01:42:55.880 of times, a year that ought to be enough for 1830 01:42:55.960 --> 01:42:56.960 the amiticloprid. 1831 01:42:57.319 --> 01:42:59.239 To, work, YEAH okay i. 1832 01:42:59.239 --> 01:43:00.359 GOT it i have one. 1833 01:43:00.359 --> 01:43:03.439 MORE thing i Have two sago Palms that i'm really. 1834 01:43:03.479 --> 01:43:06.840 Proud of they're about five feet tall and they are 1835 01:43:06.880 --> 01:43:09.640 now shooting, new prawns both of them that are about a. 1836 01:43:09.680 --> 01:43:12.399 Foot tall the, old prons, of course are. On there 1837 01:43:12.520 --> 01:43:14.840 some of the old prons kind of, got damaged maybe 1838 01:43:14.880 --> 01:43:18.800 from the low temperatures that. We had and is there 1839 01:43:18.840 --> 01:43:21.960 some rule of them on when the old prawns should 1840 01:43:22.000 --> 01:43:27.640 be pruned off before or after during the new frons? 1841 01:43:27.680 --> 01:43:28.119 Coming in. 1842 01:43:29.920 --> 01:43:32.319 The only rule of fun. There isn't you can lay 1843 01:43:32.359 --> 01:43:35.000 mon as long as. You WANT but i would say 1844 01:43:35.479 --> 01:43:37.760 if the old fronds are the only green the plant, 1845 01:43:37.800 --> 01:43:40.199 really has and you'd be taken off over half the 1846 01:43:40.239 --> 01:43:42.760 green by taking off those old ones you're, REFERRING to i, 1847 01:43:42.800 --> 01:43:45.520 would wait because that the little bit of green they 1848 01:43:45.520 --> 01:43:47.840 have is helping the plant until the new frons. Come 1849 01:43:47.880 --> 01:43:50.680 in so just don't, overdo it but you can remove them. 1850 01:43:50.720 --> 01:43:53.279 As needed, all, Right, MAN thanks i appreciate your call 1851 01:43:53.359 --> 01:43:57.159 and good luck with getting all that.

Our patio 2046 01:54:59.359 --> 01:55:02.479 the one On the azalias towards the one end are. 2047 01:55:02.560 --> 01:55:05.960 Really green the others on the, other end the leaves are. 2048 01:55:05.960 --> 01:55:08.760 Turning yellow they start to curl up and then they, 2049 01:55:08.800 --> 01:55:11.439 turn brown and it looks like it's got a lot 2050 01:55:11.479 --> 01:55:13.920 of new foliage trying to, come out but it just 2051 01:55:13.960 --> 01:55:18.000 doesn't ever, really develop and it's getting. Very bare and 2052 01:55:18.279 --> 01:55:23.159 also And then i'm wondering if it's maybe THAT'S why 2053 01:55:23.199 --> 01:55:24.840 i wanted you to, see IT because i wasn't sure 2054 01:55:24.880 --> 01:55:28.640 if it was a problem with maybe not enough water 2055 01:55:29.159 --> 01:55:33.680 Or because I'VE used I used nelson plant food and 2056 01:55:33.680 --> 01:55:36.520 they also use that on the, knockout roses and that's 2057 01:55:36.560 --> 01:55:38.840 another issue on that that those are on the very 2058 01:55:38.880 --> 01:55:42.079 back bed in, our BACKYARD and i had four last 2059 01:55:42.199 --> 01:55:44.600 year and then they they were struggling and then they 2060 01:55:44.600 --> 01:55:47.199 started turning black and they eventually, all died so we 2061 01:55:47.279 --> 01:55:49.560 pulled them, all UP and i didn't want to buy four, 2062 01:55:49.640 --> 01:55:52.239 this TIME so i bought two new ones and they were. 2063 01:55:52.359 --> 01:55:54.840 Very full the leaves are green, and everything but now, 2064 01:55:54.880 --> 01:55:57.960 they're struggling And so I'M what i was hoping you 2065 01:55:58.000 --> 01:56:00.640 could see it because at one sheer it's a, water 2066 01:56:00.760 --> 01:56:06.319 issue maybe not enough because we have the oscillating sprinklerheads 2067 01:56:06.359 --> 01:56:08.159 that go back, and forth but they don't hit that 2068 01:56:08.279 --> 01:56:12.079 area very, very long And so i'm not concerned that 2069 01:56:12.119 --> 01:56:12.600 maybe it's not. 2070 01:56:12.760 --> 01:56:16.079 Enough, water, Okay. 2071 01:56:15.840 --> 01:56:18.520 Well i'm going to.

The email, but okay when azelias are, 2080 01:56:40.479 --> 01:56:43.560 turning yellow if the, new growth the ends of the shoots, 2081 01:56:43.560 --> 01:56:46.039 are yellow but the older leaves, are green that's an. 2082 01:56:46.079 --> 01:56:49.720 Iron deficiency if the whole thing, is yellow or if 2083 01:56:49.800 --> 01:56:52.560 just the older leaves, are yellow it could be anything 2084 01:56:52.640 --> 01:56:58.159 from a water logged soil to droughty conditions to nitrogen 2085 01:56:58.199 --> 01:57:02.039 deficiency and. Other things where the yellow is is. The, 2086 01:57:02.119 --> 01:57:05.960 difference now for a lot of, your plants you're describing 2087 01:57:06.079 --> 01:57:09.920 kind of a just lack of vigor really. On THEM 2088 01:57:10.279 --> 01:57:14.359 and i would number one when it comes. To water 2089 01:57:15.199 --> 01:57:17.680 the best way to know is to go out there around, 2090 01:57:17.680 --> 01:57:19.760 the bush get you a little, hand trowel and dig 2091 01:57:19.840 --> 01:57:23.319 down about four inches six inches somewhere in there that 2092 01:57:23.439 --> 01:57:26.000 range and feel. The soil if, it's moist. 2093 01:57:25.840 --> 01:57:26.279 You don't need. 2094 01:57:26.319 --> 01:57:28.199 The, water now you don't have to do that every time, 2095 01:57:28.239 --> 01:57:30.560 you water but you kind of get you kind of 2096 01:57:30.800 --> 01:57:35.880 get a feel literally for what. It takes saying to 2097 01:57:35.960 --> 01:57:38.159 run a sprinkler a certain amount of time is not 2098 01:57:38.199 --> 01:57:39.920 going to be helpful for me to tell. You, that 2099 01:57:40.560 --> 01:57:44.760 also sprinklers are notorious for getting blocked by foliage of 2100 01:57:44.800 --> 01:57:48.920 plants and so azaleas and roses and hollies and other 2101 01:57:49.000 --> 01:57:51.960 things can block. The foliage so you've got areas of 2102 01:57:51.960 --> 01:57:54.800 the root system that's not getting watered when. You water 2103 01:57:55.319 --> 01:57:59.000 that's another thing to look. Out for so figure out 2104 01:57:59.039 --> 01:58:01.960 if it's needing water or not by feeling the soil 2105 01:58:02.039 --> 01:58:05.000 a few inches down below. The. Surface uh and that 2106 01:58:05.039 --> 01:58:07.840 would be. Step one and then a good general purpose 2107 01:58:07.960 --> 01:58:10.960 azealea fertilizer can be used on, your roses it can 2108 01:58:11.000 --> 01:58:13.159 be used on, your azaleas and it can be used 2109 01:58:13.199 --> 01:58:16.720 on your. Holly bushes so an esteadic clothing fertilizer would 2110 01:58:16.720 --> 01:58:18.760 work on all. Of those it's okay to, do THAT 2111 01:58:19.279 --> 01:58:21.399 and i would make sure it's a good dose of 2112 01:58:21.399 --> 01:58:22.680 that and you watered in. Really. 2113 01:58:22.680 --> 01:58:27.479 Good okay one of the things we did before spring 2114 01:58:27.640 --> 01:58:30.560 we pulled out all that, old mine welch a lot of. 2115 01:58:30.600 --> 01:58:35.119 That dirt we replaced it with good healthy bedding soil 2116 01:58:35.279 --> 01:58:39.039 and uh and. SOME rose i use, rose soil and 2117 01:58:39.079 --> 01:58:42.319 then we put, that quality, you know most. On top 2118 01:58:42.800 --> 01:58:45.199 so we did all the way we felt like we needed. 2119 01:58:45.199 --> 01:58:46.319 To do and then. 2120 01:58:46.239 --> 01:58:48.399 There's one other thing. To do that's that was on 2121 01:58:48.439 --> 01:58:52.359 the pictures that it's another thing that's cropped up that 2122 01:58:52.359 --> 01:58:54.279 we didn't have an. Issue before we've been in our 2123 01:58:54.279 --> 01:58:57.239 home for, you know about six, years now and it Never. 2124 01:58:57.159 --> 01:59:00.159 Had i'm about they're about to play they're about to 2125 01:59:00.159 --> 01:59:03.479 play music music on, me here so real quick on 2126 01:59:03.520 --> 01:59:05.000 the QUESTION because i don't want. 2127 01:59:05.000 --> 01:59:07.079 To, run hey the, holly bushes you'll, see that but 2128 01:59:07.319 --> 01:59:10.680 they're all.

The 2206 02:03:25.359 --> 02:03:27.000 yard i'm going to kind of level it WITH. 2207 02:03:26.920 --> 02:03:28.159 Some i guess top soil or. 2208 02:03:28.199 --> 02:03:31.079 Soil mix is there a wrong time to? 2209 02:03:31.119 --> 02:03:31.640 Do, That. 2210 02:03:34.880 --> 02:03:38.119 No and with the grass, actively growing it'll come on through. 2211 02:03:38.159 --> 02:03:42.000 PRETTY quick.

The top but 2215 02:03:49.199 --> 02:03:51.880 if it's a, larger area you probably want to put 2216 02:03:52.079 --> 02:03:54.359 the soil down at about a half of an inch at. 2217 02:03:54.359 --> 02:03:56.800 A time let the grass come.

Of outward and unless you tell 2470 02:18:13.680 --> 02:18:16.319 me it's a, BAD ideal i was thinking about taking 2471 02:18:16.319 --> 02:18:19.559 a one, inch strap putting, around it sinking, it tight 2472 02:18:19.719 --> 02:18:21.600 ratchet it together as TIGHT as i could to where 2473 02:18:21.600 --> 02:18:25.079 it bundles them, all together, pointing upward and just let 2474 02:18:25.120 --> 02:18:29.520 it grow.

Like 2479 02:18:41.879 --> 02:18:45.239 that the only thing is to make sure that strap 2480 02:18:45.280 --> 02:18:49.079 doesn't cut out or cut into, the branch which it 2481 02:18:49.159 --> 02:18:52.440 will over time if.

To Thomas, H, Hey Thomas, uh so bottom 2677 02:29:42.040 --> 02:29:45.319 line is that IS what i. Think happened what also 2678 02:29:45.520 --> 02:29:48.760 could have happened is that they got too. Much water 2679 02:29:49.239 --> 02:29:52.079 and if you have a, clay soil, especially uh it 2680 02:29:52.159 --> 02:29:55.079 becomes an underground bathtub when you dig, a hole and 2681 02:29:55.159 --> 02:29:57.159 so you set that plan in it and then you're 2682 02:29:57.200 --> 02:29:59.879 water in it and you just have a water table 2683 02:30:00.120 --> 02:30:04.120 comes up and the roots submerged are are gonna dug, 2684 02:30:04.159 --> 02:30:06.799 and die and then the plant's gonna turn black or brown, 2685 02:30:06.920 --> 02:30:10.520 drop leaves, you know and and show the symptoms. You 2686 02:30:10.559 --> 02:30:14.479 showed so my gut feeling is that it could be 2687 02:30:14.600 --> 02:30:17.200 that overwatering possibly as well. 2688 02:30:21.719 --> 02:30:26.879 Respect an. Underground bathtub but, you said so you set 2689 02:30:26.920 --> 02:30:31.440 that plan and underwater in it in the water table. 2690 02:30:34.319 --> 02:30:41.879 Temas, You, there, yes, sir yeah, my phone, but, okay, good. Okay. 2691 02:30:41.879 --> 02:30:45.280 Good yeah so so a brand, new plant, you know 2692 02:30:45.319 --> 02:30:47.239 in the garden center there water in that little pot 2693 02:30:47.239 --> 02:30:49.000 every day and it ran out the bottom of the 2694 02:30:49.000 --> 02:30:51.440 holes in the in. The pot and so that's why 2695 02:30:51.520 --> 02:30:54.760 putting it in, The, ground uh you gotta steal water 2696 02:30:54.879 --> 02:30:57.159 that little thing a little bit. Every day but you 2697 02:30:57.200 --> 02:30:59.000 do too much and submerge it and you're gonna have. 2698 02:30:59.040 --> 02:31:03.399 That problem or the leaves are just. Turning brown you're 2699 02:31:03.399 --> 02:31:05.440 not seeing yellowing or primarily. 2700 02:31:05.479 --> 02:31:10.440 Just, BROWN okay i have one plant that is, turning 2701 02:31:10.559 --> 02:31:15.479 yellow and but it's about about twenty percent of the 2702 02:31:15.559 --> 02:31:17.639 leaves is, turning yellow but the rest of them are 2703 02:31:17.680 --> 02:31:21.479 real pretty and by the half or the leaves of a. 2704 02:31:21.600 --> 02:31:22.479 Dog, Brown. 2705 02:31:24.159 --> 02:31:26.000 Okay i'm worried. 2706 02:31:26.040 --> 02:31:26.840 About, Those. 2707 02:31:29.000 --> 02:31:32.319 Yeah i'm worried about those brown leaf plants because usually 2708 02:31:32.360 --> 02:31:35.360 by tom something hits, that stage there's been a lot 2709 02:31:35.399 --> 02:31:39.959 of damage and the chances of bringing it back start 2710 02:31:40.000 --> 02:31:42.360 to go downhill with the number of brown leaves that 2711 02:31:42.440 --> 02:31:45.639 you got. On it so just dig down with your 2712 02:31:45.639 --> 02:31:48.600 hand and a trail around the edge of where that root, 2713 02:31:48.639 --> 02:31:51.520 ball was, you know you know how big the. Pot 2714 02:31:51.639 --> 02:31:54.600 was and then so go out and pretend you're digging 2715 02:31:54.639 --> 02:31:56.239 at the edge of where the all those roots were 2716 02:31:56.680 --> 02:31:59.639 and feel the soil about four, inches deep and see 2717 02:31:59.680 --> 02:32:04.159 if it's moist or if. It's, dry well, NOT moist 2718 02:32:04.200 --> 02:32:06.239 i should say it's not going to be, fully dry 2719 02:32:06.879 --> 02:32:10.680 and water accordingly, to that and see how it does 2720 02:32:10.920 --> 02:32:13.479 for the. Yellowing one if the yellowing is on the 2721 02:32:13.559 --> 02:32:17.120 newest growth at the ends of, the shoots the yellowest 2722 02:32:17.159 --> 02:32:19.319 leaves are at the ends of, the shoots that's an 2723 02:32:19.319 --> 02:32:22.159 iron deficiency and you need to get an iron supplement 2724 02:32:22.399 --> 02:32:25.200 to put. On it and you go to, you know 2725 02:32:25.200 --> 02:32:27.719 a good garden center and ace, hardware store a place, 2726 02:32:27.840 --> 02:32:31.239 like that and they're going to have a. Keylated iron 2727 02:32:31.760 --> 02:32:34.559 that's a form of iron that doesn't tie up real 2728 02:32:34.680 --> 02:32:37.920 fast in. The soil if the yellowing is on the, 2729 02:32:37.959 --> 02:32:42.159 oldest leaves mostly mostly on the, oldest leaves that's probably 2730 02:32:42.159 --> 02:32:48.000 a nitrogen deficiency and just A good guardina fertilizer is 2731 02:32:48.040 --> 02:32:50.639 going to give them. That boost just just use them, 2732 02:32:50.680 --> 02:32:53.600 in moderation follow the label, on IT and i think 2733 02:32:53.639 --> 02:32:56.879 that'll that'll work. For you good luck.

Figs 2821 02:38:11.440 --> 02:38:14.159 back we don't try to do a single trunk fig 2822 02:38:14.200 --> 02:38:16.559 tree like you could in a more frost, Free area 2823 02:38:17.719 --> 02:38:20.760 and so you can trim all that little brushy stuff 2824 02:38:20.799 --> 02:38:24.079 away at the bottom and let the big. Branches grow 2825 02:38:24.239 --> 02:38:26.479 THAT'S what i. Would do but if, you don't the 2826 02:38:26.520 --> 02:38:30.440 fig will. Still produce and so either way you want 2827 02:38:30.440 --> 02:38:30.600 to go. 2828 02:38:30.639 --> 02:38:34.319 About, It, okay well some of them are close to 2829 02:38:34.360 --> 02:38:37.319 two and a half, feet LONG and i hated to 2830 02:38:37.360 --> 02:38:41.120 cut them because it's just making a nice bushy tree at. 2831 02:38:41.159 --> 02:38:47.600 The, moment, yeah well how big is the overall plant? 2832 02:38:47.680 --> 02:38:50.079 Right now at a moment. 2833 02:38:50.319 --> 02:38:53.920 It is i'm standing right here buying at least five foot. 2834 02:38:54.000 --> 02:39:02.120 Six, tall, OKAY yeah i would leave somewhere between three 2835 02:39:02.200 --> 02:39:06.559 and six trunks on.
