Speaker 1: Good morning, good morning, good morning. Welcome, welcome, welcome.
Speaker 2: It's time now for the Green Country Gardener Program one
Speaker 2: eight hundred and seven four nine and five nine three six.
Speaker 2: Get you out in the air. Larry Glass is with
Speaker 2: us here, and you've been out in the elements. You've
Speaker 2: been planting trees, pulling rocks and avoiding lightning strikes everything
Speaker 2: else you know how to live.
Speaker 3: Well, it wasn't that close, but it isn't enough where
Speaker 3: you want to duck away a little bit. Anyway, it's
Speaker 3: been a very busy week. We've actually been able to
Speaker 3: get some things in the ground, and hopefully we'll get
Speaker 3: back on schedule if you guys will quit letting it
Speaker 3: rain so much.
Speaker 1: Well, we're trying to move it around us. Now.
Speaker 4: There's a big old thing coming out.
Speaker 3: It looks like west of us anyway, so we'll see.
Speaker 1: We'll see.
Speaker 3: Having rained this time, it's definitely not a curse. It's
Speaker 3: something because it is June.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 2: It is June, and with June we somehow get a
Speaker 2: little wetter that we do in May.
Speaker 1: Sometimes.
Speaker 3: I remember one time we were going to a Flag
Speaker 3: Day ceremony and June and big old wall cloud came.
Speaker 1: Up hose a. Can you see. Yeah, the thunderstorms coming.
Speaker 3: We had to move the ceremony inside. Oh boy, so
Speaker 3: that's pretty cool. Anyway, the rain is for the most
Speaker 3: part pretty much gone as far as heavy. I say that,
Speaker 3: but you look at them on the way on the
Speaker 3: radar to the west.
Speaker 4: Here it comes again.
Speaker 1: There you go.
Speaker 3: So anyway, yeah, the things are some things are just
Speaker 3: a little bit late this year. I've not seen very
Speaker 3: many back rooms yet. No has anybody seen back rooms
Speaker 3: on the Juniper yet?
Speaker 1: I haven't yet, not on mind, Okay.
Speaker 3: Good, but anyway, so I think the cooler weather has
Speaker 3: set them back just a little bit. So with that
Speaker 3: in mind, it's probably time to put down some BT
Speaker 3: to help get You know, they're there right now.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you just can't see them.
Speaker 4: BT is up.
Speaker 3: I still as thurn genesis, and it's a very popular
Speaker 3: microbial type insecticides, which attacks insects in their larval stage
Speaker 3: when they're munching down on your keras and cabbage and
Speaker 3: whatever and on your juniperson all that. So it's rather effective.
Speaker 3: I lived in an alice earlier where we had elm
Speaker 3: trees in the back and it got up on the
Speaker 3: roof of the house with my hose in sprayer and
Speaker 3: no elm leaf beetles this year. None that year. It
Speaker 3: kind of knocked them out. So anyway, the BT is
Speaker 3: pretty effective. You also use it in waterfalls if you
Speaker 3: have problems with the little bugs in your tooth. So,
Speaker 3: but it's good in microbial type thing. And right now
Speaker 3: you have a ground floor opportunity to control backwards by
Speaker 3: utilizing some of that.
Speaker 4: You might think of that too.
Speaker 3: It's difficult to control insects after the fact, so if
Speaker 3: you get there as they are hatching and maturing like that,
Speaker 3: they're much easier to control. And the larval stage is
Speaker 3: pretty easy with the BT, and it's very nature safe too. Okay,
Speaker 3: very good. So backworms, we'll be out here pretty soon too.
Speaker 3: Same the same kind of thing they're they're larval stage
Speaker 3: insect and the same thing works for them too. On
Speaker 3: your fruit trees right now, there are some calls for
Speaker 3: bores on there at least spot. It's a bit of
Speaker 3: a problem this year and typically something you want to
Speaker 3: be very careful whatever you apply to your fruit trees.
Speaker 3: You want something that's safe to use on fruit trees. Yeah,
Speaker 3: to see you don't have toxic plumbs. But no, so
Speaker 3: that's kind of what the bug.
Speaker 4: Thing going on.
Speaker 3: I've seen a few grub worms also, I was digging
Speaker 3: up the the r yesterday.
Speaker 4: Oh there they are. They're they're really small right now,
Speaker 4: so you.
Speaker 1: Might consider So you got some nebby grubbies.
Speaker 3: Yeah, whether they're feeding real heavily right now, so you
Speaker 3: might consider getting something for that. Also, if you do
Speaker 3: have a history of grubworms, it's a good idea to
Speaker 3: dig up a square footage of the yard some place
Speaker 3: in there and just see what's going on down there.
Speaker 3: That way, you're not spending your money on something you
Speaker 3: don't really need, or you need to spend the money
Speaker 3: on something you really need. I got a feeling backworm.
Speaker 3: I mean, the grubworms are going to be tough this year. Okay,
Speaker 3: all right, and along this week the premudi grass and
Speaker 3: so as you are growing rapids.
Speaker 4: Right now the crab grass is up. Of course, you.
Speaker 3: Use quin chlor actually control the crabgrass before it gets
Speaker 3: too mature. Crab grass right now is in a fairly
Speaker 3: young stage, so it's easy to control. Once it gets
Speaker 3: real crabby, it's difficult to control.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, Yeah, that's when you have to take out
Speaker 1: the claw.
Speaker 3: So I've got a front yard full of crabgrass. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but every time I think about it, it rains, so it's green.
Speaker 3: What the heck, you know? But anyway, so if you
Speaker 3: do have some craggrass, it's time to do something about that.
Speaker 3: It doesn't work. Like I said on old tough training grass.
Speaker 3: It's also time to fertilize that bermuda soction fescue. When
Speaker 3: I got home yesterday, I moved the yard believe it
Speaker 3: or not, at the planting trees all day, and I
Speaker 3: took them over up a notch.
Speaker 4: It's time to raise it up a bit too.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: You need that.
Speaker 3: Surface area in order to for proper vapor transferation to
Speaker 3: help keep it cool. So it's just time to raise
Speaker 3: that moor up a bit too, got it, okay, And
Speaker 3: make sure the blades getting sharp.
Speaker 4: You don't want rackety edges. It doesn't look good that way.
Speaker 3: So I think I wear out more motor blades from
Speaker 3: sharpening than new cutting.
Speaker 1: Lara liked the sharp Your blades are a little thin
Speaker 1: these days. Yeah, yeah, any times you've been in here
Speaker 1: where that's.
Speaker 3: That getting hard to find more blades for a thirty
Speaker 3: year old one more or two.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you do know how to.
Speaker 4: Take care of Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: You know, my neighbor was speed mowing it the other
Speaker 2: day because it.
Speaker 1: Looked like it was gonna rain.
Speaker 2: Yeah, clouds rolled in all of a sudden, he's out,
Speaker 2: he's running with his pushboard.
Speaker 1: It looks like Brave Heart coming over the hills.
Speaker 2: Like way, hey, easy there, it's gonna it's gonna stay
Speaker 2: west and go south.
Speaker 1: You're gonna be fine. I got caught in the last time,
Speaker 1: and I got a prairie project going on here now.
Speaker 2: Trying to mow between the rainstorms is just a that's
Speaker 2: an interesting thing.
Speaker 4: Oh it is.
Speaker 3: And the grass is kind of wet too, so you
Speaker 3: want to you want to go kind of slow. Just
Speaker 3: what has a chance to note it all choked up.
Speaker 1: And well he's got some mohawks.
Speaker 5: Out there, I bet yeah, this is the spot.
Speaker 6: No I didn't.
Speaker 4: Also, uh yeah, we're look at the color of your
Speaker 4: grass too.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 3: And if it's not a really dark green color or
Speaker 3: soil here, it does have a little bit of an
Speaker 3: iron deficiency, so you might want to pick your purtle.
Speaker 3: Is that it does have some iron in with it
Speaker 3: that helps darken the green color, and the grass is
Speaker 3: healthier overall if it does have.
Speaker 4: Some iron content in it. So iron.
Speaker 3: If it's not that you've been fertilizing, it's just not
Speaker 3: the color I really want. You might consider an iron
Speaker 3: supplement of Sometimes there's a product called ironite which is
Speaker 3: very effective.
Speaker 1: Do you have to power washer your sidewalk when you're done?
Speaker 4: Actually the new stuff? No, you don't.
Speaker 1: Good, that's a good iron.
Speaker 4: Yeah. They have a what's it called non staining.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, see how that goes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been using it by my yard for two
Speaker 3: years and well it hasn't gotten anywhere. So I used
Speaker 3: to use iron sulfate man make my sidewalks just orange.
Speaker 4: Looks like it's like walking on a big pumpkin. But
Speaker 4: the grass share was green.
Speaker 3: The only thing they'll take that out is oxalic acid. Wow,
Speaker 3: that that sounds kind of nasty. So anyway, he's a
Speaker 3: non standing iron. It works quite well too on your
Speaker 3: crape myrtles. Now the scale insects are coming out too.
Speaker 3: They're becoming quite popular.
Speaker 1: They are.
Speaker 3: Yeah and uh yeah, so look at them real carefully.
Speaker 3: If they're if they just look kind of punk and
Speaker 3: the bark on the crpe. Myrtles should be a tan
Speaker 3: color and if it's really darker than that, almost a
Speaker 3: blackish color. And your chances are you do have a
Speaker 3: lot of scale scale insect And that's one that's fairly
Speaker 3: easier to control. But soapy water kind of difficult to
Speaker 3: control too.
Speaker 4: But so.
Speaker 3: Anyway, systemic, pretty well, we'll keep on the control. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's a very very effective nicko anoid makes me forget
Speaker 3: to eat. Yeah, it messes up there in the brain.
Speaker 3: It's a it's a characteristic this This chemical works characteristically
Speaker 3: for insects. It doesn't hurt mammals, apparently because people use
Speaker 3: it on their dogs too. But anyway, but it does
Speaker 3: help control insects rather well by physiologically controlling their nerve,
Speaker 3: brain and impulses. And they just I guess they kind
Speaker 3: of forget to eat or something. Seating on the lounge,
Speaker 3: share with the cigar, watching the sun go up, and
Speaker 3: do you not eating their food?
Speaker 4: And they die? So okay, you.
Speaker 1: Know they made cigar. That's fall.
Speaker 3: But anyway, there are controls for that too. And look
Speaker 3: at look very closely, look at your burning bush.
Speaker 4: They got it. They getting it this year.
Speaker 3: And I had one actually got scale at one of
Speaker 3: my burning bushes too, And I've been for several people's
Speaker 3: houses and they have them on there also, and they
Speaker 3: can they just reproduce like crazy, and have they just
Speaker 3: drawed all the stuff out of the plant and there's
Speaker 3: nothing left and I just they guess they just move on.
Speaker 4: We see these little.
Speaker 3: Tiny U haul trucks going around.
Speaker 4: From plat to plant.
Speaker 3: Not really, but anyway, so the scale insect is a
Speaker 3: lot of times it's carried it actually by it And yes,
Speaker 3: so ants and other animals can carry them around to
Speaker 3: so be careful with you and look at them closely.
Speaker 3: Just look and see. If it just doesn't look right,
Speaker 3: that's probably what the thing is. Scale insects. They're really
Speaker 3: becoming an issue.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you know you're right upon.
Speaker 3: Them because they're crossing into different plant materials that we
Speaker 3: didn't think they would.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've brought you brought that upbout like a week
Speaker 2: or so ago that you're seeing these things on things
Speaker 2: that you've never seen scale, WHOA.
Speaker 4: What's going on? So anyway, look at your Manhattan wanted us.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that shiny green one and you're Bernie Bush and
Speaker 3: crepe myrtles.
Speaker 4: Just about everything.
Speaker 3: Really, I had someone to make milia tree believe it
Speaker 3: or not, but they don't affect ginko trees nothing.
Speaker 4: By this skinkle tree.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's like, yeah, what do you got.
Speaker 4: Well, they survived the Brontosaurus and.
Speaker 1: You can survive that. You know.
Speaker 4: That's they bring it on.
Speaker 3: That's a very actually it's a very ancient tree and
Speaker 3: nothing bothers it too. But they are dioecious, so you
Speaker 3: want to make sure you get a male clone, not
Speaker 3: not a wild ginkle tree, because you have a fifty
Speaker 3: to fifty chance at getting kind of stinky in the.
Speaker 2: Area because if you get the female tree, you'll drop
Speaker 2: that fruit. That fruit is pungent.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, the Chinese fistash is the same thing family.
Speaker 3: They're dioecious too. You have a male and female and
Speaker 3: several plants, so it's kind of the luck of the
Speaker 3: drawer unless you get a clone. They do have male
Speaker 3: clones out there, so you can get one of those
Speaker 3: ginko tree.
Speaker 1: It takes a while out for that to get going right.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: When we moved a little into our current house about
Speaker 3: twenty years ago, there was the neighbor had a small
Speaker 3: ginkle tree it's a big thing. Now it's huge. It's
Speaker 3: too so they can grow fast a right. Yeah, this
Speaker 3: one here has just taken off. It's a beautiful thing.
Speaker 1: They are.
Speaker 4: I hope they don't move, but some crown will come
Speaker 4: in to cut it down.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, I'll knock on the door and say
Speaker 3: I need to talk to you about your plants.
Speaker 1: You have a little greenhouse over here. That tree by
Speaker 1: the way, that's gorgeous.
Speaker 3: It's been around since the Cretaceous. You don't want to
Speaker 3: so anyway, trees right now. You want to tram your
Speaker 3: dog woods a little bit now if you want to,
Speaker 3: they haven't really initialized blossom set. Typically that happens about
Speaker 3: thirty days from now. Okay, So if you do want
Speaker 3: to tram your dog with tree, and sometimes the branches
Speaker 3: can get a.
Speaker 4: Little out of hand.
Speaker 3: I know my house, I've got one that's well, it's
Speaker 3: just up there. It's up there, but it has one
Speaker 3: branch just rubbing up against my shed. I've been trying
Speaker 3: to pry it away, but it keeps winning the battle.
Speaker 3: But I need to cut a notch in the roof
Speaker 3: of the shed. Let the tree good, Yep. It probably
Speaker 3: easier than so anyway, So on the dog with trees, Yeah,
Speaker 3: like I said, you can trim them right now, it's
Speaker 3: kind of the last time to do that.
Speaker 4: You might do a little bit of fertilizing too.
Speaker 3: If the color's not good, look at the veins on it.
Speaker 3: And if there's some yellow in between the veins on
Speaker 3: a dog with tree, it probably could use a good
Speaker 3: broad spectrum fertilizer. I wouldn't go with a high nitrogen,
Speaker 3: but something like a ten twenty ten, and there's some
Speaker 3: traces and good good stuff with some trace elements in
Speaker 3: it too. Miracle Grow typically has a list of trace
Speaker 3: elements in it iron, zinc and the liminium, all that stuff,
Speaker 3: and it does help them to to have some of
Speaker 3: that in there. They're not indigenous to this soil we
Speaker 3: have here, so they can have some difficulty in some
Speaker 3: parts of town right where the soil the tray settlements
Speaker 3: don't exist. And my little dog, was that chill puppy
Speaker 3: doing very well? Actually one of them six feet tall, Yeah,
Speaker 3: the other one's about five feet or so. But they're
Speaker 3: coming along real nicely, very good. So I got one
Speaker 3: flower last year, so probably get to twenty this year.
Speaker 1: That'd beat on the.
Speaker 4: Little tree, so I'm kind of excited about that too.
Speaker 1: Say what, we need to take a little break, Larry.
Speaker 2: It is eight twenty three and we'll be back with
Speaker 2: more of the Green Country Gardener in your calls. If
Speaker 2: you have a question, what eight hundred and seven four

Speaker 2: nine five nine three six. There you one eight hundred
Speaker 2: seven nine five nine three six, Larry. What do you got?
Speaker 3: Well, we talked about bugs a little bit, so let's
Speaker 3: talk a little bit about maybe getting a landscape plan.
Speaker 3: I do have some plans on the drawing board. I
Speaker 3: shipped out a few plans this week and they kind
Speaker 3: of like them, so.
Speaker 1: What's not to like? I've seen the way you do that.
Speaker 4: Then Wow, they get a good three debew of.
Speaker 1: It and all that they know what they're getting. I
Speaker 1: call it.
Speaker 3: Over over, I text out a lot of them really
Speaker 3: yeah yeah, And that works out real well because you
Speaker 3: get it now.
Speaker 1: Pull it up on the phone, they say, hey, look
Speaker 1: at this.
Speaker 3: I hope they hit their ISP will transmit a high
Speaker 3: resolution text anyway, so they can do that, and if
Speaker 3: it doesn't work out, we can print one off for
Speaker 3: the nursery. But you know, having that information and kind
Speaker 3: of knowing what to expect to help the whole lot too.
Speaker 2: It true does You've got the visual there and you
Speaker 2: know how it's gonna pop, and it looks and you
Speaker 2: got the house, the structure around it, the existing trees,
Speaker 2: My goodness sakes looks like a plant.
Speaker 4: Yeah. And I'll bring you know the laptop too.
Speaker 3: I did that'll the project working now, brought the laptop
Speaker 3: in and we went through it and it's they can
Speaker 3: see exactly.
Speaker 1: Did its thing, Well, that's my house.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I've done that on several occasions, even even
Speaker 3: downtown on the top floor of that big old.
Speaker 1: Building, that big huge Montrosity.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're there too, with one. We got the job
Speaker 3: there too. So anyway, so it does. It does help
Speaker 3: so people can actually see what.
Speaker 4: It's gonna look like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's the irrigation system engineered properly. What's what's
Speaker 3: the what's the PSI of the water we have, what's
Speaker 3: the water flow?
Speaker 4: How many pounds for squarenes do you have? And soon?
Speaker 3: How much area you're going to cover? How far do
Speaker 3: you have to run your static line? All these things
Speaker 3: all have to integrate into this deal. You get the
Speaker 3: complete package if you will. Yeah, and you don't forget
Speaker 3: about lighting to night lighting. It's really really nice.
Speaker 1: Oh, yes it is.
Speaker 3: Well, you come home, you see a house all that up,
Speaker 3: it looks really nice. Well, we moved moved into our
Speaker 3: current neighborhood. The street lights weren't working and it was dark. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it was scary dark. So that was this was landscape
Speaker 3: twenty five years ago, and I didn't have the sources
Speaker 3: then I had. Now we ran down the home depot
Speaker 3: and bought a bunch of lights, had a big old transformer.
Speaker 3: Still got the transformer. Some of the lights too, I
Speaker 3: still have, but I had to replace a few. But
Speaker 3: but it's nice, especially looking out in the patio lit
Speaker 3: up outside in the backyard, it really makes for an
Speaker 3: attractive landscape. So all that kind of factors into the
Speaker 3: lighting and the irrigation system. I mean, get on your
Speaker 3: phone and it looks a little dry, and you push
Speaker 3: a thing on your on your phone and you can
Speaker 3: water that too.
Speaker 1: My, how that's changed since you started doing this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's you've got to keep up with the technology.
Speaker 3: And people really like that. They like to instead of
Speaker 3: having a george in the garage, maybe in the backyard
Speaker 3: on I don't know, which one it is. And even
Speaker 3: if you don't use the phone app. When when you
Speaker 3: do an irrigation system, you get them a a zone map,
Speaker 3: wear a zone one, two and three, were zone six
Speaker 3: and seven, so you don't have to run back and.
Speaker 4: Forth and guess where it is and try to figure
Speaker 4: it out.
Speaker 3: So many people are going to have these sprinkler systems
Speaker 3: and there they get a keypad and there's numbers, and
Speaker 3: they don't know where they go, so they have to
Speaker 3: roll through the whole thing trying to figure out which
Speaker 3: one it is. And also you want to put it
Speaker 3: in a logical sequence, kept to the bridge.
Speaker 4: Captain, Yeah, cut a card anyway you want to.
Speaker 3: You want to have the first one that turns on
Speaker 3: within sight of the sprinker timer, so when you hit
Speaker 3: that start button you can see it's going and then
Speaker 3: you can do a test run around there. You do
Speaker 3: need to test your sprinkle system on occasion too, just
Speaker 3: to make sure it's working. Okay, I know my neighbor
Speaker 3: across the street from you, we did some work over there.
Speaker 3: It's just this old relic from the seventies.
Speaker 4: That needed some work.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of an old relic from the seventies.
Speaker 3: I'm an old relict from the fifties. I went to
Speaker 3: the store and bought a pocket knife and I got carded.
Speaker 3: I was born before they had teil fends on cards.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's going on?
Speaker 4: They just laugh?
Speaker 2: Anyway, did they want to see if you were a
Speaker 2: fella or something?
Speaker 3: I guess so far from it. But anyway, you want
Speaker 3: to you want to kind of know where all these
Speaker 3: zones go. It just makes it easier to do some diagnostics.
Speaker 3: And it's very important to be able to do diagnostics
Speaker 3: like that on a sprinkling system so you can solve problems.
Speaker 3: And you do need to check it on occasion too.
Speaker 3: Don't just kind of set it and forget it. You
Speaker 3: need to do probably at least a monthly run through.
Speaker 3: And a lot of these timers have several programs. You
Speaker 3: can go a B, C or D program and you
Speaker 3: can program a say a program D or something or
Speaker 3: B or something on your time or depending on how
Speaker 3: many they have, and let it go for like two
Speaker 3: minutes per station, but don't do a startup.
Speaker 4: Time on it or startup day. Don't start day.
Speaker 3: Just set the time at that particular program and then
Speaker 3: pull up a B, C, D and hit start and
Speaker 3: it'll run and then you can follow it around the
Speaker 3: house and make some inspections. And I see a lot
Speaker 3: of broken sprinklers just fueling water everywhere all the.
Speaker 4: Time, and I wonder why the water bills are high.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 3: And we that's one thing I don't want to do
Speaker 3: is run out of water from the from the reservoir
Speaker 3: this year.
Speaker 4: And also keep.
Speaker 3: In mind on the sprinkler system, how frequently you need
Speaker 3: the water and how many inches of water per week
Speaker 3: you put down, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera kind
Speaker 3: of important. So typically what we need around here is
Speaker 3: about an inch of.
Speaker 4: Water per week.
Speaker 1: And what do you align?
Speaker 3: And these new timers, they take into account the precipitation
Speaker 3: that's falling or expected to and it'll shut the system
Speaker 3: down with rain coming, you know. But sometimes this time,
Speaker 3: you're especially, our rain isn't like.
Speaker 4: This big walk clout. It's very spotty here and there.
Speaker 3: And even though the weather forecast says the rain's coming
Speaker 3: and it shows it on the radar, Well, your house,
Speaker 3: we didn't get rain.
Speaker 1: Now you're neighbor mile down the road got off.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like this morning we got we got at our
Speaker 3: house we got lots of rain and as soon as
Speaker 3: I cross Adams, Adams to just quit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, gotta start and stop someplaces.
Speaker 3: Old so anyway, Yeah, So the algorithms will say, yeah,
Speaker 3: there's rain out there to get from the way that
Speaker 3: service and they'll shut it down.
Speaker 4: But you need to override that sometimes.
Speaker 2: So right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right
Speaker 2: back after this two minute time out.
Speaker 3: It's a beautiful day in this ned the beautiful day
Speaker 3: for a neighbor.
Speaker 5: It's not always a beautiful day in our neighborhood.
Speaker 10: Prodential downpours a lot of lightnings the mornings. Well digit
Speaker 10: another night of it, so were a thunderstorm watching.
Speaker 3: I think the best thing we can do is to
Speaker 3: let people.
Speaker 10: Know we're here to prepare you, not scare you. AM

Speaker 10: You're the gold standard, new one, the one you trust.
Speaker 8: I don't listen to anything else.
Speaker 2: Good morning, Welcome back to the Green Country Gardner program.
Speaker 2: Larry's showing me is a granddaughter who's now gazing out
Speaker 2: windows and checking for rain clouds these days, and she
Speaker 2: just started learning to walk not long.
Speaker 1: Ago and God love your daughter. She had her taking
Speaker 1: out the trash.
Speaker 3: So she could I know, there's a picture of her pulling,
Speaker 3: pulling the dumpster.
Speaker 4: To the curb.
Speaker 1: Industry is just like Grandpa put me to work.
Speaker 4: I want to work there. She is right there, see
Speaker 4: oh yeah, working at the dumpster taking out the trash.
Speaker 2: Yet barely able to walk, and she's just doing chores like.
Speaker 1: Like a farm hand.
Speaker 4: Her head is about halfway up of it.
Speaker 3: In her in her peak outfit and pink juelly, Oh
Speaker 3: my heaven. Okay, we're talking about irrigation systems and all that. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and we talked a little bit about lighting and on
Speaker 3: your on when you when you're doing a light system
Speaker 3: in your house, you need to add up put put
Speaker 3: the lights. Yeah those things, yeah, the things that make light.
Speaker 3: I wanted to say emitters, but I guess they are they.
Speaker 3: But put your light fixture where you want to highlights
Speaker 3: the architectural accents or plants or something. Then you got
Speaker 3: to add up all the wattage you used, and you
Speaker 3: get a timer, and you always want to double the
Speaker 3: amount of vantage the timer. It's just so number one,
Speaker 3: it doesn't overheat and burn the house down.
Speaker 1: You don't want that.
Speaker 4: And number two, the light.
Speaker 3: At the very end has to be uh lit up
Speaker 3: just as well as they're close. Now you can you
Speaker 3: can put a and we've done this before where you
Speaker 3: put a loop lying in there where you've got one
Speaker 3: line that goes along them and you're in a parallel
Speaker 3: wire to that and then tight at the very end
Speaker 3: of it, making sure.
Speaker 4: Your polarity is correct.
Speaker 3: Otherwise, yeah, not good twelve bowls, but.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but still you feel it well.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: In other words, Now the wire itself has two conductors,
Speaker 3: like these the cords where you're plugging the lamps, like
Speaker 3: this one over here that's got two and one of
Speaker 3: them has stripes on it and molded into the insulation.
Speaker 4: Another one is flat. So you want to make sure.
Speaker 3: That the stripe skill with the stripes and the flat skill.
Speaker 4: With the flats.
Speaker 1: There's a reason for that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So you don't get the polarity incorrect and then
Speaker 3: everything goes kaboom.
Speaker 1: Not a good thing your Saturday shot.
Speaker 3: Yeah really, So we ran into that with a project
Speaker 3: we did, and the Mosquito repellar contractor drove a stake
Speaker 3: through for one of the wires we did, and yeah,
Speaker 3: this part of the house wasn't lit up. I dug
Speaker 3: that thing up and ran duplicate wires and it still
Speaker 3: didn't work. And then so we just dug up the
Speaker 3: whole thing and found it. Oh after that, it works
Speaker 3: brilliantly because it's the duplication of conductors.
Speaker 4: So tell any of that those are led lights and
Speaker 4: it was. It probably used. It probably uses one hundred
Speaker 4: and fifty watts.
Speaker 3: We put a six hundred transformer in and it just
Speaker 3: and it just kind of so it doesn't Oh, it's
Speaker 3: not overdoing it. It's just kind of casually water like
Speaker 3: the lights up without being stressed or having to work
Speaker 3: too hard. So it works out real well. So yeah,
Speaker 3: you can get at the big buck stores. You can
Speaker 3: get a twenty five out of your one hundred lot thing.
Speaker 3: But you always want to make sure, like I said,
Speaker 3: count up the amount of wattage that your life have
Speaker 3: and double that for your for your transformer and the
Speaker 3: wire also too. Don't don't get slickered in and get
Speaker 3: in there all the thin sixteen gauge wire. It's just
Speaker 3: going to run out of juice bag. You're running out
Speaker 3: at the end. So you want to use probably at
Speaker 3: least a twelve gauge wire. It costs a little bit more,
Speaker 3: but then you're not gonna have any problems.
Speaker 1: Okay, you gotta be good as gold.
Speaker 3: And the wiring connections are important to you. Use waterproof
Speaker 3: wire connectors and so on. They do fine. I like
Speaker 3: the sobdle them.
Speaker 1: Really you do? Why why instead of having it?
Speaker 3: Well, you go ahead and you wrap them up with
Speaker 3: a with a wire nut that doesn't have any grease
Speaker 3: in it, and then you solder it so it won't
Speaker 3: come disconnected.
Speaker 4: I understand. And there's no corrosion involve with that too.
Speaker 4: It helds together.
Speaker 3: And these wires are subjected to every time it rains,
Speaker 3: moisture and all that oxidation.
Speaker 1: Over time, you've got and.
Speaker 3: There they're solder together and then sealed up again with
Speaker 3: a wire nut.
Speaker 4: They're going to last a long time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, So I always ask them why on behalf
Speaker 2: of the consumer?
Speaker 4: I did that at my house twenty twenty some years ago.
Speaker 1: Still holding up just as good as gold, as good as solder.
Speaker 3: And then there's led halogen, copper, brass, aluminum stainless still
Speaker 3: on lighting.
Speaker 1: You like the brass, don't you? Yeah?
Speaker 3: I don't, Well, it could be aluminum, but you don't
Speaker 3: want to mix the metals because of galvanic corrosion. So yeah,
Speaker 3: make sure that the the light picture had if it's aluminum, Uh,
Speaker 3: just have to say like brass screws on it or
Speaker 3: something like that that will generate a small electrical charge
Speaker 3: and corrode one of the two and then it starts leaking.
Speaker 3: And I see them just almost turned to powder before
Speaker 3: because of this galvanic corrosion.
Speaker 4: To just make sure that you know that you use
Speaker 4: all the same metal.
Speaker 3: Now you can use stainless with it, but you don't
Speaker 3: want to use a galvanized screw and an aluminum picture.
Speaker 2: Okay, keep it consistent, folks, right, and the good ones
Speaker 2: costs more.
Speaker 1: Too well, and they're worth it though.
Speaker 5: Ye.
Speaker 3: Anyway, one of these days, this rain is going to quit,
Speaker 3: and okay, you've done something.
Speaker 4: To your soil to prepare it for drought plants.
Speaker 3: So a good deep soil prep if you're doing some
Speaker 3: landscaping at this point, now you want to go ahead
Speaker 3: and plan for it getting dry, because it will. It's
Speaker 3: just the way our weather is here. It just gets
Speaker 3: stops raining in the summer. Yeah, right, look at that
Speaker 3: out there. But anyway. So if you have a soil
Speaker 3: that's really well prepped so the roots can get down
Speaker 3: into the soil, they'll last a lot better and do
Speaker 3: a lot better because they have a bigger root system
Speaker 3: and they can utilize the water over a broad area
Speaker 3: rather than narrow area right there. So so really it
Speaker 3: takes a lot a bit of back breaking work get
Speaker 3: that compost in there. It takes a bit of work,
Speaker 3: but your stuff will work if you do it properly.
Speaker 1: You got to do it properly.
Speaker 3: You can't use it like a drill. If you have
Speaker 3: to use a drill to dig a hole, there's something wrong.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you need to do some ground prep.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back
Speaker 1: after the two minute time out.
Speaker 11: Strings and literally that's true. A green thunder three and greenhouses.
Speaker 11: It's time to plant, and Green Thumb has the larger
Speaker 11: selection of quality plants in the area and perennials plants

Speaker 2: All right, welcome back to the Green Country Gardner Program.
Speaker 2: And eight hundred seven nine five nine three six is
Speaker 2: our contact line. Larry Glass is our expert. Larry, what's
Speaker 2: going on?
Speaker 3: I run to a lot of people having difficulty with
Speaker 3: their trees on occasion.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, like falling on their house all.
Speaker 4: That kind of thing.
Speaker 3: We had a big old we have a big old
Speaker 3: poplar tree cottonwood, and it was cantilevered over the wiring
Speaker 3: at the nursery.
Speaker 4: Well that's it was getting.
Speaker 3: So I called the local tree company becoming a trend
Speaker 3: that back just so it doesn't fall over the wires
Speaker 3: and that and you know what.
Speaker 4: You know what will happen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it'll be one hundred and five degrees outside greenhouse.
Speaker 3: Fans are running full tilt cooling fist going and the tree.
Speaker 1: That sounds about like the luck we have around here yet.
Speaker 4: So we circumvented a potential problem. Take care of that
Speaker 4: the nursery. There you go anyway, Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3: It was kind of straight up, but it's been slowly.
Speaker 3: You got to look at the trees and see check
Speaker 3: out their health and see if they're going to be
Speaker 3: a problem on these scenes, because it just a good
Speaker 3: case in point.
Speaker 4: Okay, let's say trees healthy this summer. Look for boors.
Speaker 3: Look at the southwest side of the trunk. Also, one
Speaker 3: of the biggest problem some people have is weed whacker
Speaker 3: damage on the trees. We planted about thirty trees this
Speaker 3: week at the house, and we put steel edging around
Speaker 3: them with a weed mat or a multaria. But around
Speaker 3: it it looks kind of nice too, and uh, primarily
Speaker 3: for that reason, so they don't buy mistakes and get
Speaker 3: sever of the bark with a weed eater. Yeah, that's
Speaker 3: one of the bigger problems people have with their trees
Speaker 3: dying in their yards. It's just simply it was either
Speaker 3: nicked by it and introduced to boors or insects in there,
Speaker 3: or diseases even like that, or they're completely girdled around
Speaker 3: by the weed eater.
Speaker 4: So I've seen that so many times. What's wrong on
Speaker 4: my tree? Well you can go, but with your tree
Speaker 4: weed eater.
Speaker 3: So anyway, so having a area around the collectus microphone
Speaker 3: base around your tree yep, with malts on it, and
Speaker 3: it does do an awful lot to help help the
Speaker 3: trees get healthier.
Speaker 4: Ye stay not having to fight off the weed eaters.
Speaker 1: I'm not a weed have a tree?
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, so weed wickers. Weed wacker guard, yeah, wastly.
Speaker 4: Weed wacker guards work pretty well too.
Speaker 3: They have the thing you snap around the trunk and
Speaker 3: it helps stop that from happening too. So the other
Speaker 3: solutions other than just a better round the tree. The
Speaker 3: better around the tree looks nice though, But a weed
Speaker 3: wackerguard is so that you can snap on and go
Speaker 3: back into the house.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 3: Our annual the week is a million bills, million bells.
Speaker 3: As a Calibrochia, it's a an annual. It's all these
Speaker 3: hundreds of little flowers on it. It's implied with a
Speaker 3: million bells and it can tolerate a lot of heat too.
Speaker 4: It's introduced in the early nineties.
Speaker 3: All cultivars, all cultive IRUs at Calibrochia, are hybrids with
Speaker 3: the original species native to South America. Okay, they are
Speaker 3: prolific boomers boomers from spring till fra My gotcha, bloomers. Yeah,
Speaker 3: they bloom from spring till till it freezes. And this
Speaker 3: one does very well here because it does like the
Speaker 3: warmth and the sunshine.
Speaker 4: But it does need to be prepared.
Speaker 3: They prefer to be grown moist, well drained, organically rich
Speaker 3: soil in full sun. They don't tolerate real high P
Speaker 3: eight soils.
Speaker 4: So I mean, if you're in an area where.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of limestone, which is the whole town,
Speaker 3: you might I want to consider a fertilizer. They might
Speaker 3: have some iron and welcome to the moon skate vocals.
Speaker 3: They will take a light shade and may tolerate some drought.
Speaker 3: You fertilize them with a good blossom enhancing fertilizer with
Speaker 3: the middle number, and they do really quite well here.
Speaker 3: So a million bells, we got some baskets out of
Speaker 3: a million bells too, really really nice big things. So
Speaker 3: good color, instant color for Father's Day. So anyway, Trade
Speaker 3: of the week as Japanese maple. We've discussed it them
Speaker 3: several times.
Speaker 12: Got one.
Speaker 4: Japanese maple with wheels.
Speaker 3: Yes, and in other words, it's been moved, as as
Speaker 3: my yard progressed and transformed. It's been relocated a few
Speaker 3: times and it got hit broken in a storm, and
Speaker 3: so it has an interesting trunking to it. So that's
Speaker 3: what that's what makes them really interesting. Not only the leaves,
Speaker 3: the beautiful purple leaves on this particular variety, but the
Speaker 3: trunking is kind of interesting.
Speaker 1: Every tree has this story.
Speaker 3: When you're looking for Japanese maples, don't pick out the
Speaker 3: straightest ones. Why, well, that's that adds to their appeal,
Speaker 3: is that there's this winding action.
Speaker 1: You know what, a boring one.
Speaker 3: No, you want something to take the worst looking one
Speaker 3: to get that one, maybe even swing a deal.
Speaker 1: On watch it, watch it grow out of its awkward stage.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and what you say at the nursery is not
Speaker 3: really what's going to be later on yet because they
Speaker 3: do grow. So this one in my art isn't very well.
Speaker 3: It's quite attractive and it has this contorted branching on
Speaker 3: it with this really nice canopy on the top, and
Speaker 3: it was the lights at night. It's really beautiful thing.
Speaker 3: So anyway, the Japanese maple is to be considered. It
Speaker 3: does well parchay, but it'll be dwarfed in the sun.
Speaker 3: In other words, just our sun at this latitude is
Speaker 3: just a little too intense for it. If you go
Speaker 3: further north, about five hundred miles, you can leave it,
Speaker 3: you know it fold sid do okay. But over here
Speaker 3: it's just a little too much. So it does prefer
Speaker 3: a bit of protection from the hot sun. Planting it
Speaker 3: on the east side of the house won't necessarily help
Speaker 3: it because the sun is like this in the summertime
Speaker 3: and it is exposed more to the to the light there.
Speaker 4: So it does.
Speaker 3: Better in some shielding with the other trees around or something.
Speaker 3: So so it now there are several varieties from the
Speaker 3: Crimson Queen. The one we think of is the weeping
Speaker 3: Japanese maple. It's called the crimson queen Japanese, this weeping
Speaker 3: habit and it gets about ten feet wide and six
Speaker 3: or so be tall. Makes a really nice specimen plant.
Speaker 3: But you got to give us some room plant for
Speaker 3: it in the landscape. And you do your landscape design, uh,
Speaker 3: and you want to put a weeping Japanese maple in there,
Speaker 3: just make sure you have room for it to grow. Eventually,
Speaker 3: I see people having a hard time getting in the
Speaker 3: getting the piano in the front door because of this
Speaker 3: weeping Japanese maple, and so what do I do with it?
Speaker 4: It's to tear out the sidewalk.
Speaker 1: In the movement. There you go, it's beautiful.
Speaker 3: It takes less time to put it in concrete than
Speaker 3: it does to grow a Japanese maple like that, No kid,
Speaker 3: but anyway, we just get a laugh out of that
Speaker 3: ain't going to happen. I did that at my house
Speaker 3: when I moved in it, or tore out the sidewalk
Speaker 3: in the back because it was too close to the house.
Speaker 4: You couldn't throw anything there. Doing that, I got a sledgehammer.
Speaker 3: I really really went into it, and it's I have
Speaker 3: a really nice little bit over there right now, room
Speaker 3: for the trash can and all that stuff too. So anyway,
Speaker 3: keep in mind when you when you pick out how
Speaker 3: big is it going?
Speaker 4: To get asked? How how big is this thing going
Speaker 4: to get?
Speaker 3: We'll say a blood good Japanese maple gets about twenty
Speaker 3: by twenty feet eventually.
Speaker 4: Nice. So, and there are some varieties really that only get.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's like a bush.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they still had this real gnarly look to them.
Speaker 3: There's kind of nice too. So they will reproduce some
Speaker 3: seeds and people have taken their seeds from their little
Speaker 3: Japanese maple and put them the ground that.
Speaker 4: You got another win and so on.
Speaker 3: Hey look at this, so yeah, I see you can't
Speaker 3: get some more. I like to plant them in the
Speaker 3: spring after the danger of frost has passed, because they
Speaker 3: if we have a late freeze, it just ruins it
Speaker 3: for the whole summer. Done as far as appearance is concerned,
Speaker 3: that we're over there, you know, shaking in our boots
Speaker 3: when his cold print coming in and we got all
Speaker 3: these Japanese maples. We've been to thousands of dollars in
Speaker 3: these maples. It's going to get cold, so you'll call it.
Speaker 3: We huddle them when it does that. So that's one
Speaker 3: drawback is if it do have a late breeze, which happens,
Speaker 3: it'll happen this next It didn't happen this year, but
Speaker 3: it will happen next year.
Speaker 4: Statistically it will.
Speaker 3: So you want to and get put a blanket over
Speaker 3: it or something to help keep it from getting damaged.
Speaker 3: Just making sure that you take the blanket away in
Speaker 3: the morning. You might call the boss and say I'll
Speaker 3: be late today.
Speaker 4: Especially if you use plastic, because it gets too hot.
Speaker 3: Yeah so, but a blanket works pretty well to covered anyway.
Speaker 3: So they have a tendency to leaf out early. Like
Speaker 3: I said that late frost for damage. They have bat
Speaker 3: very well to pruning and are easily thinned and sculpted
Speaker 3: to accentuate their graceful shape. In other words, you want
Speaker 3: a little bit of twisting and turning on it. Yeah
Speaker 3: so anyway, Japanese maples, they do really well here. But
Speaker 3: don't plant it in the west, and don't plant it
Speaker 3: in the clay. Give it room, give it twenty by twenty,
Speaker 3: give it ten feet from the trunk. So it needs
Speaker 3: to be ten feet away from the house. I see
Speaker 3: so many of them that are two feet from the house.
Speaker 3: They look real nice when they're young like that. It
Speaker 3: might look odd being ten feet away from the house,
Speaker 3: you know, poor lonely tree.
Speaker 4: But it'll grow into it, all right.
Speaker 1: You got to take a break.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back after this two minute thirty second
Speaker 2: two minute forty second break.

Speaker 10: Jane Phillips and Bartlesville.
Speaker 6: In the early nineteen hundreds, the world was changing and
Speaker 6: the United States was taking its place as the premier
Speaker 6: industrial and political power in the world. The newest frontier
Speaker 6: was not the Wild West as much as it was
Speaker 6: industry and technology. The world was changing around Bartlesville and
Speaker 6: in Osage County as well. During this time, Frank Phillips
Speaker 6: and his brother Elie were growing tired of the boom
Speaker 6: and bust of the oil business and were in the
Speaker 6: process of selling off their oil leases and making plans
Speaker 6: to expand their banking business and making Kansas City their headquarters.
Speaker 6: The Phillips brothers owned Lease one eighty five in Osage County,
Speaker 6: and by the terms of the lease, if they didn't
Speaker 6: drill it, they lost it. Well, it wasn't Frank Phillips's
Speaker 6: nature to walk away from an investment with at least trying,
Speaker 6: so rather than lose it, they decided to drill for oil,
Speaker 6: and they drilled six dry holes on that lease, and
Speaker 6: then finally, on their seventh try, they hit oil at
Speaker 6: around one hundred barrels a day. In courage, they drilled
Speaker 6: one more just to the west, and on March twenty second,
Speaker 6: nineteen seventeen, Rank Phillips stood on the drilling platform when
Speaker 6: the earth and all around him began to tremble. The
Speaker 6: well exploded with a gusher of over one thousand barrels
Speaker 6: a day. It has been said that that well was
Speaker 6: the beginning of Phillips Petroleum Company and therefore the history
Speaker 6: and legacy of Frank Phillips. Thanks to that well, we
Speaker 6: still have Woollarock to remember, the west, the oil, and
Speaker 6: the history of Frank and Jane Phillips. Come visit the
Speaker 6: past and capture the magic of Willarock. Welcome home to Willarock.
