Speaker 1: For Larry Glass. Is brought to you by Green Glum
Speaker 1: Nursery and Greenhouses United, Reynolds, Kelly Banks, Tree Service, Roman's
Speaker 1: Outdoor Power, Accent, Pest Control, Ascension, Saint John, James Phillips
Speaker 1: and Gateway First Back and good morning, good morning, good morning, welcome, welcome,
Speaker 1: welcome time for the Green Country Gardener Program. He is
Speaker 1: in the flash right here, our guru, Larry Glass. And boy,
Speaker 1: oh boy, oh boy, what a week. Huh. I bet
Speaker 1: you wish it would rain?
Speaker 2: Yeah, golly, what's wrong with you guys? Come on, geez.
Speaker 1: Raining in the middle part of the state. A little
Speaker 1: skinny line. I don't know who's gonna get you.
Speaker 2: Gall them buttons over they're pushing on, make it rain.
Speaker 1: That's the time I pushing the button. I wasn't sure
Speaker 1: what it was. We were off the air, off.
Speaker 2: The air for three weeks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, our engineer says, on your tombstone, and it might
Speaker 1: be soon than you think it shall read your lies,
Speaker 1: Tom Davis famous last words. I wonder what this does.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of them there. But anyway, Kelly, September
Speaker 2: the what Today's the fourteenth, middle of the month, and
Speaker 2: it's kind of a transition period between summer and fall
Speaker 2: for the most part. Yeah, but nonetheless, on a calendar basis,
Speaker 2: typically it's starting to cool down a little bit, and
Speaker 2: it will I think middle of end of next week
Speaker 2: it'll probably start to cool down a little bit get
Speaker 2: to be a more normal weather. However, it gives us
Speaker 2: time to plan, plan yes and u and material acquisition
Speaker 2: stuff like that, to get ready to do your gardening.
Speaker 2: That when I think when fall comes, I think we'll
Speaker 2: have about maybe five minutes of fall.
Speaker 1: We usually do, and we have really nice, you know,
Speaker 1: like two or three days, and then it's.
Speaker 2: Like whoa, because wall the brick wall, no winter here.
Speaker 2: It comes a but nonetheless it goes away.
Speaker 1: For a little bit and then in February comes back
Speaker 1: for two weeks. Kills us.
Speaker 2: Typically typically in the garden right now, we want to
Speaker 2: fertilize the spring bulbs. Things are at your daffodils and whatnot.
Speaker 2: Be as soon as it gets a little bit cooler,
Speaker 2: they're going to be wanting to grow. And actually when
Speaker 2: you fertilize anything, but with the ground as dry as
Speaker 2: it is, you want to ensure that the ground is
Speaker 2: it is moist, So you want to water first. Because
Speaker 2: the fertilizer just doesn't magically go into the ground. No,
Speaker 2: it's basically it's a salt and it has to diffuse
Speaker 2: into the soil. So water first, fertilized water again, and
Speaker 2: that way it'll get down and soil where it needs
Speaker 2: to go. You don't waste your money, okay. Also, good
Speaker 2: time to plant trees, it is. Yes, I've broken a
Speaker 2: shovel or two this week. Stuff, I go through more shovels.
Speaker 2: It's a bone pile in the back of the nursery.
Speaker 2: But anyway, it's a good time to plant trees. Also
Speaker 2: a good time to plant some shrubs and things too traditionally,
Speaker 2: but I would look at the weather forecast for the
Speaker 2: next one hundred days there it's going to be like
Speaker 2: ninety nine degrees every day. So probably want to hold
Speaker 2: off on that just a little bit until we have
Speaker 2: a little better weather coming on. So yeah, and also
Speaker 2: do you remember last spring all the chick weed and
Speaker 2: handbit everywhere.
Speaker 1: It was overtaking the neighborhood.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is time to put a pre emergent on
Speaker 2: the lawn. We have a product at the nursery called
Speaker 2: pro diamine, and what I like per diamine. It's great
Speaker 2: for the control of crabgrass and per diamine also effective
Speaker 2: against summer annual grass, blue grass, goose grass, furgs, chickweed,
Speaker 2: and a large number of annual broadly weeds. It's safe
Speaker 2: to use on the established turf, with exception of golf
Speaker 2: pudding greens. You got a putting green in your yard, well,
Speaker 2: you probably have a big water bill anyway. But anyway,
Speaker 2: if you have, I don't want to use it on there,
Speaker 2: and you want to not use it around Oh, you
Speaker 2: can use it rather on ornamentals and established perennials. But
Speaker 2: diamane barricade is another name for it is one of
Speaker 2: the longer lasting of the pre mergent herbicides and probably
Speaker 2: the most economical due to the lower rate of application. So, yeah,
Speaker 2: we've got a big old yellow bag at the nursery.
Speaker 2: It's a pound bag of this stuff, and it's really
Speaker 2: the least expensive way to do it because you're only
Speaker 2: you're not going to use all of it. And it's
Speaker 2: a fertilizer which is zero zero seven shaken, not stirred. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but anyway, so it really doesn't even though it is
Speaker 2: does have a fertilizer kind of a pellet on it.
Speaker 2: It doesn't really contribute much the fertilization of your soil too,
Speaker 2: so it it does a very good job to control
Speaker 2: weeds for for a long period of time. Okay, so
Speaker 2: for diming. Good good thing to us for that. Let's
Speaker 2: see Quinnchlorac is another thing. It's a water soluble post
Speaker 2: emergent selected post emogent overside because broadly, weeds and grass
Speaker 2: is in torrient turf species. So I'm seeing a lot
Speaker 2: of just very persistent weeds in people's yards and the
Speaker 2: queue does a good job of kind of thinning it
Speaker 2: out a little bit. And I like it because it
Speaker 2: will get rid of that that thing. Yeah that uh yeah, anyway,
Speaker 2: I'll come up with it in just a minute, I can.
Speaker 2: But anyway it does it does do a lot to
Speaker 2: control some some other weeds as well. It's a post
Speaker 2: emergent control. It's good for not spurge. But yes, okay, okay,
Speaker 2: cool anyway, Also time to divide the iris and dig
Speaker 2: them up and the kind of throw them on the ground,
Speaker 2: put them in a little bit of dust and water. Man,
Speaker 2: real good, pretty hard at plants really, So I got
Speaker 2: a lot in my yard divided them last year and
Speaker 2: they just went crazy to spring. A lot of people's
Speaker 2: Irish really went crazy this year.
Speaker 1: You better like iris because they're going to be around
Speaker 1: a while.
Speaker 2: Get up early in the morning by the Irish and
Speaker 2: water man real good. They'll do just fine. And time
Speaker 2: also to plant first sign it to plant spring bulbs.
Speaker 2: Oh sedge, that's Quinn Colorac. It's just control Sedge.
Speaker 1: I come to you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it takes a while. Sometimes I'm having that day too, golly.
Speaker 2: So anyway, it's also getting really close to time. Time
Speaker 2: to plant the spring bulbs. It's a little early to
Speaker 2: plant pansies right now. The ground's kind of dry. It
Speaker 2: is kind of warm. But if you've watered them okay
Speaker 2: and don't over water them, under water them will be
Speaker 2: all right. And another thing is the critters are looking
Speaker 2: for stuff to munch on them, and they might attack
Speaker 2: your pansies right now because everything's kind of dried up.
Speaker 2: So you might want to get maybe some blood meal
Speaker 2: with it and just sprinkled on the ground. That kind
Speaker 2: of keeps them away a little bit, but you can
Speaker 2: anticipate maybe some trouble with squirrels and so on. Little munchers,
Speaker 2: little munchers eating up your pancies. That happened to us
Speaker 2: one year we planted the whole truckle the pansies, the
Speaker 2: dag them deer all that ate them all up? What
Speaker 2: could I do? But you'll replant. But anyway, that was
Speaker 2: quite a kind of adventure. But anyway, it's getting time
Speaker 2: to Also, you know, you want to get that ground
Speaker 2: really well, well prepared to and if you're shoveled really
Speaker 2: doesn't go into the ground very easily. You might consider
Speaker 2: augmenting the soil dynamite. No, well, that would be maybe
Speaker 2: maybe an h bomb perhaps, But yeah, dynamite will work
Speaker 2: really well, but a pitchfork will kind of break it up.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah. Well, if it's really very hard and dry
Speaker 2: and difficult to manage, you might want to consider maybe
Speaker 2: a day or two ahead, watering it real well, just
Speaker 2: so it can break up, because that clay soil is
Speaker 2: a lot easier to work if it's got some moisture
Speaker 2: in it. When it's dry, it tends to get really
Speaker 2: quite difficult to manage, so you might want to water
Speaker 2: ahead of time just to get it going. And if
Speaker 2: you do have a situation where does that perhaps the
Speaker 2: soil needs to be amended. You can use gypsum, which
Speaker 2: you hope break up clay olecules. Gypsum does very good
Speaker 2: for that. It also gives you some elemental calcium and
Speaker 2: some sulfur that the plant's kind of like that. Then
Speaker 2: because you do have calcium, calcium sulfate, it kind of neutralizes.
Speaker 2: It doesn't really sit up by the soil or anything else,
Speaker 2: but it does help break up the clay molecules or particles.
Speaker 2: Rather so, gypsum will help a whole lot of you.
Speaker 2: It's just too hard to dig. I know when we
Speaker 2: do the landscape work. Go to people's house, was dry
Speaker 2: like it's you gotta jump on the.
Speaker 1: Shovel, jump sometimes two or three times exactly.
Speaker 2: Well, almost there, and there's another one on the bone file.
Speaker 1: You break a few, don't you bet.
Speaker 2: But anyway, so if soil, if your soil is real
Speaker 2: hard to prepare at this point in time, perhaps you
Speaker 2: need to amend it. And the good thing about amending
Speaker 2: the soil and making it more porous is that your
Speaker 2: water is more effective. It soaks into the ground faster.
Speaker 2: Your fertilizer goes into the ground a lot better in
Speaker 2: the riot zone where it really needs to be, rather
Speaker 2: than run off onto the street. So okay, So it's
Speaker 2: kind of a transition time from summer to probably about
Speaker 2: a three day fall.
Speaker 1: Till you've been around here too long.
Speaker 2: I know, you know these things. Also, it's a good time,
Speaker 2: giving to be a good time to plant some trees.
Speaker 2: And we've got some more coming in, some new ones.
Speaker 2: We've got a lot of existing ones too that are
Speaker 2: in really good shape. Some interesting red buds. They're really
Speaker 2: been having some fun breeding this one. There's one that
Speaker 2: has all these different colored leaves on it. It's kind
Speaker 2: of pretty too. And the Oklahoma red bud is a
Speaker 2: good standard. It's a very compact growing tree, and as
Speaker 2: far as red buds are concerned, it is quite rugged
Speaker 2: and durable, good for a climate. So it might be
Speaker 2: a consideration for a smaller tree. Smaller meaning maybe twelve
Speaker 2: to fifteen feet tall or so, not a huge tree.
Speaker 2: And the Oklahoma redbud, what I like about it also
Speaker 2: is the leaves are fairly thick and they don't tatter
Speaker 2: too much. Typically in the spring we have these big
Speaker 2: old storms that come through.
Speaker 1: Kind of like the May six tornado.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and when that wind blows the leaves they
Speaker 2: leave shake back and forth. And the ends of tatter,
Speaker 2: and the advantage of the Oklahoma and actually the forest
Speaker 2: Pansy's another one is that the leaves are thicker and
Speaker 2: you have less of a tendency to tatter. Now, this
Speaker 2: is probably the worst time you were to trying to
Speaker 2: sell a red bud, because they're just ugly. Leaves are
Speaker 2: all spotted and yellow. They're not very attractive this time here.
Speaker 2: But look closely at your red bud at the stems,
Speaker 2: and you will see these little buds.
Speaker 1: About that big, at the size of a baby perhaps.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And those are the flowers that are coming
Speaker 2: out this long now the Oklahoma red bud, because it
Speaker 2: is kind of a dwarf tree. What happens so on
Speaker 2: that one is the node between the leaves is closer
Speaker 2: than a regular red bud. You know, just take our
Speaker 2: cursus candidates, you know, up the street, if you will,
Speaker 2: and there's a certain distance between the stem or the
Speaker 2: leaf on the stem. That's what you call the node
Speaker 2: on the Oklahoma red But some of the other ones,
Speaker 2: that node is closer. Oh, and that's what makes it small.
Speaker 2: Number one and number two. You get a better density
Speaker 2: of blooms on them, and some of them maybe tend
Speaker 2: to look like pipe cleaners. There's so many flowers on
Speaker 2: them because it's so closely related to each other. And
Speaker 2: because of that short node, it doesn't get that to
Speaker 2: be that big of a tree, so it thinks it's
Speaker 2: a real big tree. But haha, we know better than that.
Speaker 2: But anyway, so that kind of explains dwarfism and small trees.
Speaker 2: It's just a tendency of the genetics to have a
Speaker 2: shorter node, the more density of flowers and a smaller tree. Cool.
Speaker 1: All right, tell you what we need to take a
Speaker 1: quick break and we'll be right back folks after this
Speaker 1: ten second time out.

Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Green Country Gardner Program. I'm Tom Davis.
Speaker 1: He's Larry Glass. He is our expert. I just answered
Speaker 1: the bones sort of one eight hundred seven three six Professor,
Speaker 1: Where are we today.
Speaker 2: Let's talk a little bit about the planting grass seed
Speaker 2: for the fall.
Speaker 8: Let's do that.
Speaker 2: Yes, I'll do plant grass seed. Number one. Make sure
Speaker 2: you have enough light on the ground. There should be
Speaker 2: dappled light at the least dampled. Light's not too hard
Speaker 2: to come by right now. Just have to leave the
Speaker 2: up streets. If not enough you might have your tree
Speaker 2: canopy thin down a little bit, just so the grass
Speaker 2: that do well you want to plant for success on that.
Speaker 2: You know, also assess your soil conditions. Get they'll rusty
Speaker 2: shovel up back behind the garage, behind all the other
Speaker 2: stuff of the gage.
Speaker 1: Mine is two and a half shovels worth of breaking.
Speaker 1: That's all hard, that is.
Speaker 2: And try to dig a hole in the ground and
Speaker 2: see what's going on with the soil type. And if
Speaker 2: the soil is really heavy, well you might want to
Speaker 2: augment it a little bit. Soil should be fairly light
Speaker 2: in area with a pH between six point five and seven.
Speaker 2: So they have a simple litmus test. You can get
Speaker 2: a little test tube things that you can use and
Speaker 2: check your soil or if you wonder, if you really
Speaker 2: want to be successful, take samples to the extension agent.
Speaker 1: They're happy to look at your dirt well yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: and then that kind of dirt, and then they they
Speaker 1: can kind of tell you what to do as far
Speaker 1: as the nutrients are concerned, trace elements and so on.
Speaker 2: They really don't give you an analysis on the soil structure,
Speaker 2: but they do give you the good chemical analysis. But
Speaker 2: if it's difficult at this point in time. If it
Speaker 2: is difficult to dig a hole in the ground, then
Speaker 2: you're not gonna have much luck to drown grass because
Speaker 2: it'll wash down. And this beautiful emerald band of grass
Speaker 2: around the river.
Speaker 1: The river there you go.
Speaker 2: But anyway, so you check your soil. Shoot, we checked
Speaker 2: out you shoot has some pretty good light coming on
Speaker 2: to it. Soil should be light in area with a pH.
Speaker 2: Most river bottom dirt can pacts very well, very hard
Speaker 2: and difficult. So you might want to add some chips
Speaker 2: into the soil or organic material to depending on the
Speaker 2: condition of the soil what you do. What you can
Speaker 2: also do is the solar stratification tests where you take
Speaker 2: say a pickle jar for glass one or something so
Speaker 2: you can see through and fill it up about oh
Speaker 2: half of soil half of water and shake it up
Speaker 2: real good and let it sit for a while and
Speaker 2: it'll tell you your your soil content, your percentage of clay, sand,
Speaker 2: silt and loam in your soil, and they'll give you
Speaker 2: a good idea what to add to the soil. So
Speaker 2: we did a demonstration to that's the nursery that go
Speaker 2: what is that? I said, that's and we shoually. We
Speaker 2: explained to them that explains what your soil is made of.
Speaker 2: So you can add certain materials, add maybe some sand
Speaker 2: or some organic material and get rid of the clay,
Speaker 2: you know whatever. You might have some gyps and perhaps
Speaker 2: and losing that up a little bit too. But the
Speaker 2: organic material can be anything from say rotted leave to
Speaker 2: peed moths to compost the package, compost anything that's sort
Speaker 2: of organic like that. That'll help keep an area loose.
Speaker 2: That way, your roots will go down because roots, the
Speaker 2: roots of the plant require oxygen, not very much, but
Speaker 2: to require some oxygen for them to grow, and they
Speaker 2: simply the plant simply will not grow in an anaerobic situation.
Speaker 2: So you need to have some way in which at
Speaker 2: least some oxygen can get down into the soil for
Speaker 2: the rest to grow and do well. Once you've achieved
Speaker 2: all that, it's pretty simple to do. You fertilize, rescue
Speaker 2: and in the fall and in the winter except for December,
Speaker 2: January and February, March and April, I'll do it again
Speaker 2: and you make a beautiful lawn out of it. But
Speaker 2: there is some work involved with it, and one thing
Speaker 2: you really can't do is put a pre emergent down
Speaker 2: in association with the scattering of the seeds, because it
Speaker 2: will also stop those seeds from growing. So if you
Speaker 2: have a few weeds in there, you might want to
Speaker 2: till them under or add some stuff or just enough
Speaker 2: to get the grass growing real well. And then when
Speaker 2: this when the grass matures in the spring, you can
Speaker 2: do maybe a pre emergent at that point or even
Speaker 2: a mild post emergent over side to control the selectively
Speaker 2: remove broadly fleets and things.
Speaker 1: But it's all got to be sequential.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And the same story holds true with sod. Now,
Speaker 2: the fescusad will be available soon. It's still a little
Speaker 2: early yet. The sod growers aren't pulling it up yet
Speaker 2: because it's still kind of hot. But it'll be available soon.
Speaker 2: As soon as you guys to say what to do
Speaker 2: with the weather, it'll it'll be available and roll out
Speaker 2: the green carpet. But once again, it's not that simple.
Speaker 1: It's not.
Speaker 2: No, it is not that simple. So anyway, there's so
Speaker 2: much for that bermuda grass right now, it's time for
Speaker 2: to say the ten twenty ten fertilizer to put that
Speaker 2: down right now to get those stolens hardened off for
Speaker 2: the fall in the winter, and soisio grass. Kind of
Speaker 2: the same thing. Not a whole lot going on with that.
Speaker 2: Just keep it, you know, fairly well watered if you can.
Speaker 2: I know, I've not been watering my yard, but I've
Speaker 2: been focusing lately on the trees. I don't want to
Speaker 2: lose them. I see a lot of trees just kind
Speaker 2: of grindling up and looks like they're giving up the
Speaker 2: ghost the tree. The tree removal people are going to
Speaker 2: be very busy this winter, yeah, exactly. But so you
Speaker 2: want to at least water enough to keep your trees
Speaker 2: going pretty well, because it is kind of expensive to
Speaker 2: have that done. And I told the wife, I said,
Speaker 2: we're going to have to start water in the yard
Speaker 2: a little bit because my trees are going to die
Speaker 2: and it's going to cost more money to cut the
Speaker 2: tree down and get all the stump out and it
Speaker 2: would be.
Speaker 1: The Yeah, so if anything, water your big trees in
Speaker 1: the yard.
Speaker 2: And look at the real cloth. Some of the maples
Speaker 2: are starting to get some red leaves on them, and
Speaker 2: it's too early for that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta wait till October something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And they're kind of shutting down earlier this year,
Speaker 2: and it's going to make kind of a punk fall
Speaker 2: as far as fall cover is concerned, yellow, they're just
Speaker 2: gonna kind of fall off. I guess, no show all
Speaker 2: those tour buses coming through to see.
Speaker 1: That they're watering it tall because that's their bread and butter.
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, I know, hope. So I don't really think
Speaker 2: we're gonna have much of any good fall color this
Speaker 2: year because of this this DRISTI.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, all right, we're gonna take a quick break.
Speaker 1: We're going to be right back after this two minute
Speaker 1: time out.
Speaker 6: Who do I call to get my trees trimmed?
Speaker 8: Kelly Banks Tree Service?
Speaker 6: Who can grind up these stumps in my yard?
Speaker 8: Kelly Banks Tree Service.
Speaker 6: There's a dead tree right by my house and I'm

Speaker 12: For so goes nature, so goes us.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Green Country Gardner Program and we
Speaker 1: have our oh free number one eight seven four six
Speaker 1: Lurri glass with this year and what's next on the
Speaker 1: agenda there.
Speaker 2: Now, when you get your grass seed down irrigating, if
Speaker 2: you have a bit of a slope, you want to
Speaker 2: be careful not to put too much water on let
Speaker 2: it all run down the hill. I've seen that happen
Speaker 2: so many times there the old clumps and grass growing
Speaker 2: in the good or around the half. So make sure
Speaker 2: keep keep an eye on the water when you do water.
Speaker 2: And if you get a sprinkler, say a hose in
Speaker 2: sprinkler or even a sprinkler system, the ones that shoot
Speaker 2: out a great distance, they apply water at a slow
Speaker 2: rate of precipitation and then you can kind of look
Speaker 2: at it while it goes and see if it's soaked
Speaker 2: into the ground and when it starts to run off,
Speaker 2: that tells you how much time you can run it. Now,
Speaker 2: if you have a spencer timer, most of them have
Speaker 2: multiple startups. You know. The rain Bird esp has a
Speaker 2: three startups and you can divide it up into say
Speaker 2: nine o'clock and maybe eleven o'clock or in one o'clock
Speaker 2: or something, just so the water has a chance to
Speaker 2: soak in before you apply water again, just so you
Speaker 2: don't cut all the runoff. It helps us save of
Speaker 2: wasting water too. You know, I go to work in
Speaker 2: the morning or any time and see the spinker's running
Speaker 2: and just water running down the street. We talked about
Speaker 2: that earlier too. But anyway, you want to be very
Speaker 2: conscious today because water is kind of expensive. A reservoir
Speaker 2: was built when I don't know when when they built
Speaker 2: the thing, and the town wasn't quite that big. So
Speaker 2: we have to be very conscious and very selective with
Speaker 2: the watering just so we don't run out of water
Speaker 2: like we did last year.
Speaker 1: We did, everybody did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so this year was a little bit better. I think.
Speaker 2: I think we're maybe climbing out of that super hot
Speaker 2: super riphee everything cyclical, you know, and then it'll be
Speaker 2: better like it was, you know, like five years ago.
Speaker 2: And I think one summer it never got to a hundred.
Speaker 1: That was an anomaly, yeah, it really was.
Speaker 2: But anyway, so just water, just enough, a slow rate
Speaker 2: of precipitation is good. Water early in the morning, do
Speaker 2: not water during the heat of the day, uh huh,
Speaker 2: or lat water you know, when the sun goes down
Speaker 2: a little bit in the evening. But it's just you
Speaker 2: use a lot of water due to evaporations if you
Speaker 2: do water in the heat of the day, So kind
Speaker 2: of be conscious of that too. Okay, So do all
Speaker 2: right now fertilizing your fescue grass right now it's time
Speaker 2: to go. I do maybe a not quite a heavy
Speaker 2: nitrogen application. You don't want to spurm a lot of
Speaker 2: growth right now. So this is the time to put
Speaker 2: down the ten twenty ten fertilizer on your fescue. And
Speaker 2: look at the color of the grass too. If it's
Speaker 2: a real deep green color or if it's just kind
Speaker 2: of a pale green color. If it's a pale green color,
Speaker 2: maybe you need more nitrogen. But if you're if your
Speaker 2: grass blades are fairly wide but they're also pale, you
Speaker 2: might need some iron in the soil too.
Speaker 1: Them all nice.
Speaker 2: And you know, have you ever seen the geological map
Speaker 2: of northeast Oklahoma?
Speaker 1: No, but I get the feeling I'm going to after
Speaker 1: this show.
Speaker 2: It looks like some artwork from the sixties just up
Speaker 2: and all these different different types of stone and soil,
Speaker 2: and it's quite quite a mixture. So not like say
Speaker 2: in New England or Georgia when I lived over there,
Speaker 2: it's all the same. But over here it's just pretty
Speaker 2: wild the variations in the soil type, even from one
Speaker 2: neighborhood to the next. So you have to that's why
Speaker 2: we need one reason why we need to do a
Speaker 2: soil analysis and jump on the shovel a little bit
Speaker 2: to see how hard it is to get the whole
Speaker 2: doug Some parts of town all the soil is really good,
Speaker 2: Like going into Colonial when Dorchester off of Selveral Lake,
Speaker 2: it's you going that way, really good stuff. We did
Speaker 2: some sprinker systems there years ago. You plunge that thing
Speaker 2: all the way down. Just this rich black stuff came
Speaker 2: up really nice. You go two blocks away, you're at
Speaker 2: the plunger on the on the ditch which is just
Speaker 2: clanging in the limestone clang clang clang, try to get
Speaker 2: through that stuffy so it can vary a lot. And
Speaker 2: even in Woodland Park, some parts of the limestone soil,
Speaker 2: some parts of sandstone soil. So yeah, you just got
Speaker 2: to be geologically, we have a different layers of rock
Speaker 2: associations of rock and that was created by you know,
Speaker 2: ancient oceans and stuff, and that's why we have a
Speaker 2: different soil in one part of town to another. Oay,
Speaker 2: so you have to respond accordingly.
Speaker 1: So this was once part of the Gulf.
Speaker 2: Of Mexico, Canada or Italy.
Speaker 1: Like tectonics, folks, it's a it's a whole other people
Speaker 1: to study, but it kind of coincide.
Speaker 2: We're not. That leads us to the tree of the week,
Speaker 2: which is a red maple. The red maple is a
Speaker 2: very popular tree. It's a durable, It has a very
Speaker 2: extensive root system, and it can be fairly deep, can
Speaker 2: also be fairly shallow depending on the way to the soil,
Speaker 2: and it's noted for its fall color. Now, there's a
Speaker 2: genre of the red maple, it's called Freeman I, which
Speaker 2: is a cross between the silver and a red. It
Speaker 2: has attributes of both. It has the growth rate of
Speaker 2: a silver maple and a lot of the strength of
Speaker 2: a red.
Speaker 1: Maple too, basket of both worlds.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it grows fairly quickly, so it'll be a
Speaker 2: big tree probably before the mortgage is paid off. And
Speaker 2: it's a very durable and so on and they grow
Speaker 2: fairly quickly and actually because of their branching structure, they're
Speaker 2: pretty strong too. They did very well and the storms
Speaker 2: we had this spring, so the Freeman I maples are good.
Speaker 2: Just a red maple are good. One the sugar maple.
Speaker 2: So it's a little too hot for them here. There
Speaker 2: are a few that the cattle maple is one that
Speaker 2: probably make it pretty well. It does well in western Oklahoma.
Speaker 2: They should do pretty well here too, but our soil
Speaker 2: is a little heavier than it is. You have that
Speaker 2: red salt and then we have clay soil over here,
Speaker 2: so there's variations are pretty wild. So the red maple
Speaker 2: does make a good tree for the landscape. Be prepared
Speaker 2: also to trim it up a little bit, just so
Speaker 2: the grass down below it can have a chance to
Speaker 2: grow and prevent the erosion. Now, one thing I don't
Speaker 2: like to do is plant the red maple on a slope.
Speaker 2: Why is that because of the shallow Rootscha. The red
Speaker 2: maple is indigenous to lowland areas, and typically lowland areas. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and another word for them can swamp maple. But anyway
Speaker 2: they they live in, they're digitous to an area that
Speaker 2: has a very anaerobic soil, and the roots are shallow
Speaker 2: primarily to respond to the lack of oxygen in the
Speaker 2: soil roots. As we mentioned earlier, roots carry on respiration,
Speaker 2: so they require some degree of oxygen for them to
Speaker 2: do very well. Not a whole lot, but just some.
Speaker 2: So if you do have a situation where the soil
Speaker 2: is ver heavy and shallow, you might consider something like
Speaker 2: a Chinese pistache. The pistache has a more deeply rooted
Speaker 2: briot system rather than say a shallow rooted silver maple
Speaker 2: or freeman I maple or even a red maple. And
Speaker 2: because of that attribute, they can go in our soil
Speaker 2: and not have these knuckles coming up out of the ground.
Speaker 2: And also they have good fall color on them too.
Speaker 1: Now, the Chinese fistache, you got to wait for it
Speaker 1: to go through. It's awkward years.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well yeah, we got some in and they look
Speaker 2: kind of kind of ugly.
Speaker 1: Well, once you get a plan, once they get our story,
Speaker 1: they are they outgrow it, you know, kind of like
Speaker 1: you did when you were twelve kids.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, they will grow out of it. They
Speaker 2: will make an ice tree.
Speaker 1: They'll make a very ice tree.
Speaker 2: You can get a whole road of Chinese fistache. No
Speaker 2: matter what they look like, when they get bigger, they're
Speaker 2: all going to look the same and they're gonna look great.
Speaker 2: And I tell people when they're picking up they say, well,
Speaker 2: now he's got a little crooked branch.
Speaker 1: I said, give it time.
Speaker 2: That branch is not going to be there. You're going
Speaker 2: to cut it off so you can walk underneath the tree.
Speaker 2: So a lot of a lot of these smaller trees,
Speaker 2: the branches that are there aren't going to be there
Speaker 2: when when they get big, you can because you can't
Speaker 2: walk under them. And the pistache said that. The pistache
Speaker 2: does make kind of irregularly growing tree when it's young,
Speaker 2: and because of that, they're kind of difficult to sell.
Speaker 1: But if you know what you're getting into, you're fine,
Speaker 1: and you got yourself a deal.
Speaker 2: The really big ones, actually they fell better than the
Speaker 2: little ones because they're mature and they're growing and filled
Speaker 2: out a little bit.
Speaker 1: They look like they've straightened up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, good track together. Yeah, but you look around at
Speaker 2: the pistache trees, you see very few of them that
Speaker 2: are as awkward as they were when they were young.
Speaker 1: There you go at dipper the day. We'll be right
Speaker 1: back after this two minute time out.
Speaker 3: If you like plants, if you like working outside, Green
Speaker 3: Thumb Nursery is looking for workers to work full time retail.

Speaker 1: I see depend on K one and fourteen hundred and
Speaker 1: FM ninety three point three for locally sourced news, weather
Speaker 1: and sports two Went from work and everything in between,
Speaker 1: Kay one, the one you trust. Welcome back to the
Speaker 1: Green Country Gardner Programmer. I told we number one eight
Speaker 1: hundred and seven four ninety three six Larry Glass, what's
Speaker 1: next on our agenda?
Speaker 2: Our shrub of the week is well, not really a shrub.
Speaker 2: It's kind of a perennial, okay, But it can be
Speaker 2: a shrub because it's somewhat evergreen, and that is a
Speaker 2: very good is lyrio how big that get lyopen lily
Speaker 2: terf lariope muscari very got a aka monkey grass. If
Speaker 2: I were to use the word monkey grass and one
Speaker 2: of my drawing from school, you're done. The professor would
Speaker 2: tear it in have and give you a big flat f.
Speaker 2: It is not mokey grass. It's lily curve. But anyway,
Speaker 2: what I like about this plant is no bugs, extremely
Speaker 2: drought tolerant, and the variegated stuff doesn't spread everywhere. I've
Speaker 2: got clumps of variegated delirio. Shall I say monkey grass?
Speaker 2: I hope they're not listening, but anyway, and it forms
Speaker 2: a clump instead of it doesn't spread everywhere. And I
Speaker 2: like to use this in the landscape just for some sparkle,
Speaker 2: you know when if you will, it gives you some relief,
Speaker 2: textual relief and some color relief. And it's just kind
Speaker 2: of evergreen too, really and right now they're in bloom
Speaker 2: gives you some color too, But anyway, it has a
Speaker 2: unique blueish white flower spikes up to eighteen inches tall
Speaker 2: in July or August, followed by dark blue blackberries in September.
Speaker 2: October what the birds don't get. And it's the most
Speaker 2: an almost fool proof plant that endures hate to drought,
Speaker 2: salty seast, seaside conditions, you know, full sun or heavy shade.
Speaker 2: It grows just about anywhere. Man Peo will say, you
Speaker 2: put micy bass am i drawing it. Said no, no,
Speaker 2: it's not fat. It doesn't spread, it won't take over. Now,
Speaker 2: there is a variety of the very gate of Liiiopi
Speaker 2: known as silver dragon, and that stuff spreads like wildfire.
Speaker 2: Keep that away, and I feel I have it in
Speaker 2: a troubled area in the yard and it's covered really
Speaker 2: nicely with the very gated foliage in the shade over there,
Speaker 2: just north of the shed, between the red butt tree
Speaker 2: and the north of the fence, rather between the red
Speaker 2: bed tree and the fence, and makes a very nice
Speaker 2: low cover. And what I like about it is it
Speaker 2: kind of spreads you real heavily, and nothing else grows
Speaker 2: through it, and it just makes a good cover. And
Speaker 2: in the same place close by, I have some just
Speaker 2: regular green Theriopi and it's just formed a real thick
Speaker 2: ground cover and it looks really nice up against a
Speaker 2: brick border setting concrete along.
Speaker 1: The color contrast.
Speaker 2: Yeah, good color, texture contrast and all that. That looks
Speaker 2: really nice. So it the regular just green monkey grass
Speaker 2: makes a good groundcover because it just basically chokes everything
Speaker 2: else out. So you might consider that for in your landscape.
Speaker 2: But they all have completely different uses in the landscape.
Speaker 2: In otherwords, you don't want to use the regular green
Speaker 2: monkey grass as a border because it'll just take over everything.
Speaker 2: So you might consider the variegated lily turf okay, no
Speaker 2: monkey grass lily turf as a border along your landscape.
Speaker 2: Or I use it in clumps, a clumps of three
Speaker 2: or five or so or some color accents because it
Speaker 2: is so stable all year round. In appearance, it looks
Speaker 2: nice and no it doesn't spread its stage. But you
Speaker 2: can use it on the desert type landscapes with with
Speaker 2: you know, stones and river rock, or you can use
Speaker 2: it in forest type landscapes. It associates nicely with us
Speaker 2: because of the color contrast and a zealous too. So
Speaker 2: it's just a very versatile plant.
Speaker 1: And it.
Speaker 2: Maybe twelve is is tall or that the most the
Speaker 2: spectrum for eighteen inches, but you know this is Bartlesville. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so we get about total anticipate twelve. So wildlife don't
Speaker 2: like it either. They don't eat it.
Speaker 1: You don't you know, live so you don't have to
Speaker 1: worry about that.
Speaker 2: If your if your horse gets the way, he won't
Speaker 2: eat it.
Speaker 1: But look at it.
Speaker 2: And anyway, a lot of this is produced in Costa Rica.
Speaker 2: It's where they grow a lot of it for the
Speaker 2: market and we buy the little plugs and grow the
Speaker 2: moon and they produce over ten million divisions of variegated
Speaker 2: here down there. So anyway, it's extremely versatile plant in
Speaker 2: the landscape and one that doesn't spread too bad, kind
Speaker 2: of forms a clump. The drawback might be bermuto grass getting.
Speaker 1: Into it commingle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and have used a grass killer and it selectively
Speaker 2: removes the bermuda grass in your lario. We got killing
Speaker 2: that doesn't killing. The grass killer worked by stopping the
Speaker 2: production of chlorophyll and the plant just kind of starts
Speaker 2: to death and it kills it out separately. So so
Speaker 2: there are ways to to eliminate grass in your delirio.
Speaker 2: And that's that's one of the best ways. Really. I've
Speaker 2: had that problem in the front and we used the
Speaker 2: grass killer on it and one year I just gave up.
Speaker 2: We used round up round up and the experiment the
Speaker 2: delivery ope survived. Actually, wow, that's such a heavy root
Speaker 2: system that the round up doesn't kill it. But it
Speaker 2: was lacking in appearance, so there was that, but but
Speaker 2: it came back, But it came back. It's really it's
Speaker 2: a really tough plant. Yeah, shaken nuts diir. But but anyway,
Speaker 2: I've also found that creeping you you wantamus so you
Speaker 2: want to you want to miss radicans. Coloradus has a
Speaker 2: certain degree of immunity to round up because it has
Speaker 2: a very waxy leaf on it and doesn't absorb. Because
Speaker 2: of that physiological app attribute, I think it's carried on
Speaker 2: in the leuriopia as well, having a fairly heavy wax
Speaker 2: you leave, which would explain its abilities to survive with
Speaker 2: so many different environments, as well as the er rafkins
Speaker 2: Coloradus so cool stuff. Huh.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take quick break. We'll be right back
Speaker 1: after this four minute time out.
Speaker 13: Frank Phillips, the old man with barred, wired nerves and
Speaker 13: the courage of a wolf, didn't realize his own capacity
Speaker 13: to love until after the death of his dear wife
Speaker 13: Jane in nineteen forty eight. He no longer heard her
Speaker 13: laughter in the mansion in town, nor enjoyed the long
Speaker 13: drives out to his beloved Woollarrock, where they would often
Speaker 13: go to share an evening dinner. After her death, he
Speaker 13: found himself waking to the cold reality of her absence
Speaker 13: and confided to others that his soul ached. More and
Speaker 13: more of Frank's time was being spent at the ranch,
Speaker 13: sitting on the front porch of the lodge and enjoying
Speaker 13: the magnificent view and likely ref reflecting back on an
Speaker 13: incredible life of personal and professional accomplishments. However, without his
Speaker 13: wife in the chair next to him, these simple joys
Speaker 13: became shallow to Uncle Frank. After her death, those around
Speaker 13: Frank soon discovered that he had one desire, and that
Speaker 13: was to build a masolem at Woolloarock to serve as
Speaker 13: a final resting place for Jane and himself. He had
Speaker 13: picked out the spot years before, a favorite spot that
Speaker 13: overlooked one of the beautiful lakes that dotted the grounds
Speaker 13: of the ranch. Inspired by the memorial built for his
Speaker 13: good friend Will Rogers and Claremore, the mausolem soon became
Speaker 13: the primary focus of Frank's life. Once construction started on
Speaker 13: the mausolem in nineteen forty nine. He personally came out
Speaker 13: every day to see how work was progressing. Frank wanted
Speaker 13: it within walking distance of the lodge, yet not directly
Speaker 13: in the public eye, which is why he chose the
Speaker 13: site above Elk Lake, one of his favorite fishing holes
Speaker 13: at Wollarock. Built of native stone with no cut edges,
Speaker 13: the tomb appeared to spring from the side of the
Speaker 13: hill as if it was part of the terre. Workmen
Speaker 13: blasted through eighteen feet of solid rock to form the
Speaker 13: burial chamber, and the twenty four square foot room was
Speaker 13: lined with a twelve inch steel reinforced concrete wall. The
Speaker 13: chamber was air conditioned and a telephone was installed. Inside
Speaker 13: the mausolem is a circular rotunda outlined by eight columns
Speaker 13: of Saint Cecilia marble imported from Italy, which rises ten
Speaker 13: feet to a dome. The walls are covered with thousands
Speaker 13: of mosaic tiles, and in the center of the room
Speaker 13: is an eight pointed star formed by the different shades
Speaker 13: of marble. Construction took about a year, and as soon
Speaker 13: as it was completed, Frank had Jane's casket brought from
Speaker 13: White Rose Cemetery and a memorial service was held at
Speaker 13: the new mausolem. To his friends and staff, mister Phillips
Speaker 13: seemed happier than at any time in recent years. His
Speaker 13: final work was completed and he could return to the
Speaker 13: porch of the lodge, which he did until his death
Speaker 13: on August twenty third, nineteen fifty. The magic of Woolarock
Speaker 13: is a story worth sharing, and it can be found
Speaker 13: everywhere at this national treasure. Come see it for yourself
Speaker 13: and welcome home to Wallarock.

Speaker 1: US Talk K one at AM fourteen hundred and FM
Speaker 1: ninety three three and ninety five one. Almost sounds like
Speaker 1: the game's coming on. Huh, it is a fine I
Speaker 1: guess sixty four degrees from sunshine and you're listening to
Speaker 1: the Green Country Gardener program with Larry Glass. I'm Tom Davis.
Speaker 1: Answer the phones. What ain't hundred seven four ninety five
Speaker 1: ninety three six Larry Passes? Getting time to plant those? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we've got them for sale up to the nursery right now.
Speaker 1: It's related to Viola's No not that not that big instrument.
Speaker 2: Anyway. The grow up of plants which Johnny jump ups
Speaker 2: are related to. Also, a Biola is a large genus
Speaker 2: containing five hundred different species, I believe it. Anyway, pansies
Speaker 2: and Biola's kind of have the same growth requirements too.
Speaker 2: We touched on them earlier about planting them and trying
Speaker 2: to keep the critters away from them too. But anyway,
Speaker 2: if you look at it, you take a little pot,
Speaker 2: it has a very fine root system on it, so
Speaker 2: you want to make sure you have very fine soil. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and a fairly good amount of organic materials to the
Speaker 2: soil too. Peat moss is a good amendment to the soil.
Speaker 2: It does help keep it kind of loose or the
Speaker 2: package compost or stuff like that. It will work out
Speaker 2: pretty well. But you do want to have an aerobic
Speaker 2: type of soil for them to do quite well. Anyway,
Speaker 2: God it they've been around since the fourth century BC.
Speaker 2: I mean they were planting pansies back then. What was
Speaker 2: the nursery like back in ancient Greece anyway.
Speaker 1: Boy, I'd be crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably cost three or four drachmas at least for
Speaker 2: a pansy plant. Anyway, sometime after the fourth century BC,
Speaker 2: Europe started to look at Bolism starting to grow them
Speaker 2: a little bit. And so they've been around quite some time.
Speaker 2: And the contemporary ones we have now we're developing the
Speaker 2: eighteen hundreds and so on, So eighteen fifty, there's so
Speaker 2: many new strains of pansies and so on, and from
Speaker 2: England and Scotland and Switzerland and all that. The hybridisation
Speaker 2: was used rather extensively back then to go all these
Speaker 2: different colors and plants and everything else. It's a very
Speaker 2: popular plant in Europe way back when. I mean way
Speaker 2: way back when. So anyway, right now, gall they this
Speaker 2: guy's a limit. There's so many things, And in doing
Speaker 2: my composition with pansies, I'd like to put them in
Speaker 2: kind of in the backdrop, see on a row or
Speaker 2: in a bed of annuals, and then put vio is
Speaker 2: in front. I see, the viola is a smaller kind
Speaker 2: of a miniature version of the pansy, and they have
Speaker 2: a whole lot of blooms on them, pretty nice rather yeah,
Speaker 2: rather dent show red dent show blooms, and a progression
Speaker 2: of height as well too. So panzies and violets I
Speaker 2: do very well here in the fall, in the winter
Speaker 2: time when he gets, Oh, I don't know, about six
Speaker 2: or seven hundred degrees blows zero get they get set
Speaker 2: back a little bit, but they come back in the spring.
Speaker 2: So they're very very cold tolerant. But you can't plant
Speaker 2: them into clay, I mean at the shovel. If the
Speaker 2: shovel bounces off the ground, you know, you might want
Speaker 2: to just the river rock and boulders maybe, So we
Speaker 2: kind of encourage people to prepare the ground real well
Speaker 2: when they're planting their pancis and the violas. Shortly also
Speaker 2: we will for the fall, we'll be having the flowering
Speaker 2: tail and flowering cabbage, and that gives you some color
Speaker 2: by the front door. They give you the colored foliage
Speaker 2: and the white and yellows and reds and the purples,
Speaker 2: different colors of kale and flowering kale so on. When
Speaker 2: you first get them, they don't have much of any
Speaker 2: of that color, but that happens when it gets consistently cool.
Speaker 2: Then the chlorophyll shifts and then they have all these
Speaker 2: different colors. So if you get a kail or a
Speaker 2: pansy or something like that right now, they're not going
Speaker 2: to be very showy, but they will be one of
Speaker 2: it cools down.
Speaker 1: Give them time. Now, what about bugs on these? They
Speaker 1: draw some of the kind of neutrals.
Speaker 2: If you plant them early, you're going to get maybe
Speaker 2: some caterpillars and about it. About it, yeah, but they
Speaker 2: typically they don't have they grow any time when the
Speaker 2: insects really aren't very active.
Speaker 8: Good.
Speaker 2: Anyway, we have these for sale at the nursery, the
Speaker 2: Panzies for sale. We got a great selection of house
Speaker 2: plants right now. More on the way and come by
Speaker 2: and check out the cool Water greenhouse.
Speaker 1: It is very cool. If you haven't seen the boats
Speaker 1: to drop bites for that.
