When see when was it, I don't know, 60 00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:36.599 recently checking out the plans for all seasons. It's a 61 00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:39.319 little blank there in the morning checking out plants for 62 00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:42.919 all seasons. They have gotten in one of the coolest 63 00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:46.759 plants that is way underutilized around here, and that is 64 00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:50.840 the adenium. It's also called desert rose. And boy did 65 00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:54.360 they ever have a great stock of it desert rose. 66 00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:57.000 I can't even describe the ballooms, do you. I'll just 67 00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:01.000 tell you all kinds of shades of red to burgundy 68 00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:04.280 so deep that it's black, to petals that are speckled 69 00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:07.479 and striped, and all kinds of beautiful. That is a 70 00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:09.840 tough plant. I mean, in fact, you know how you 71 00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:13.280 kill doesn't rose. You overwater it. So all you got 72 00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:15.360 to do. All you got to do is just get 73 00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:17.680 it in a really well drained soil, which is what 74 00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:20.480 it comes in when you buy it, and then make 75 00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:23.759 sure it gets full sunlight and just watered occasionally. You 76 00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:25.480 don't have to water it a lot. Just if it's 77 00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:27.079 going to freeze, you got to bring that little pot 78 00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:31.439 in protect it. But oh my gosh, the blooms are stunning, 79 00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:34.199 and they got them there plants for all seasons. They 80 00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:37.480 are stocked up and ready to go. Of course, while 81 00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:39.800 you're by there lots of other things. They have a 82 00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:42.079 really good supply of roses. And I know everybody thinks 83 00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:44.800 about roses on Valentine's Day, right, That's when you pun 84 00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:47.000 your roses. That's when you plant your roses. It is 85 00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:50.120 better to plant a rose today than on Valentine's Day. 86 00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:52.360 So go by there and get a rose, get it 87 00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:55.680 in your landscape, get it established. By the time Valentine's 88 00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:58.879 Day comes, the rose you planted now will already be 89 00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:01.720 establishing roots out in the soil and have a big 90 00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:05.120 head start on summer. They also have pots of marigoals, 91 00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:08.600 you know, marrigals. We call the big African type marigals 92 00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:12.079 marramums because if you plant them in the fall, they 93 00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:15.279 just glow like big old palm palm mums. I mean, 94 00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:19.920 they're beautiful, beautiful. And so if you have a chrysanthemum, 95 00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:24.560 or don't have a chrysanthemum, why not try marigold from 96 00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:27.439 Plants for all seasons just a few of the brazilion 97 00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:29.600 plants they have there, And you know when you go there, 98 00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:33.040 you're going to get great success.

I have a question. I have purchased what's 144 00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:05.800 called a root beer plant. I don't know what the 145 00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:08.639 proper name for it is, but is it okay that 146 00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:11.240 I put that plant that in the ground now, or 147 00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:14.439 should I wait, like overwintered in the greenhouse and then 148 00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:15.720 prying it in the spring. 149 00:08:17.319 --> 00:08:19.720 You can do it either way. It is a root 150 00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:22.399 hardy plant, so if you plant it now, just throw 151 00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:24.120 a bunch of mulch over the soil, just kind of 152 00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:26.560 give a little bit of a blanket to hold that 153 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:30.639 soil temperature in h and it should be fine. 154 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:40.799 Yeah, Okay. I also bought a Oh, I can't think 155 00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:42.840 of it right now. I think it's in the same 156 00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:45.919 line of that. So I was just you know, I'm 157 00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:48.240 just on the fence of should I put it in 158 00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:51.879 the ground or like just baby it or just go 159 00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:55.279 ahead and put it in the greenhouse, so I might 160 00:08:55.399 --> 00:08:56.799 just protect it. 161 00:08:56.840 --> 00:08:57.240 I don't know. 162 00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:00.960 Yeah, you can do it either way. It doesn't really matter. 163 00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:04.360 You know, in a good cold snap, it'll it'll it'll 164 00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:08.120 take the back top back, but the roots roots will 165 00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:10.519 be fine. If if that's why I throw the mulch on, 166 00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:12.360 that's a little extra insurance if you're gonna. 167 00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:12.879 Go and plant it out. 168 00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:17.440 Okay, And what about Pride Barbados? Is that a freeze tolerant? 169 00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:23.879 That one is on the on the line. Uh And 170 00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:28.399 most winters it comes back just fine here, no problems 171 00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:31.639 of uh it just if we have one of the 172 00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:35.440 doozy winters that we can have, uh, you know, you 173 00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:37.919 can get some damage on it, but just know this, 174 00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:40.000 go ahead and plant it out, don't don't hold off 175 00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:42.279 on that one. And do mulch it too at the 176 00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:44.600 base pretty good. I'd put about four inches of mulch 177 00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:47.200 over the crown and base of the plant, okay, and 178 00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:51.799 it will freeze back most likely. And uh in spring, 179 00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:54.639 you're gonna think it died. It didn't. It just it's 180 00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:57.159 like a teenager on a Saturday morning. It doesn't want 181 00:09:57.200 --> 00:09:58.320 to wake up until that. 182 00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:00.559 Okay. 183 00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:04.440 So if you don't see signs of life movement, I 184 00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:07.360 just think of it the way I've described That's the 185 00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:08.840 best way I can describe that plant. 186 00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:12.360 Well, I've learned to kind of hold off. I've learned 187 00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:14.559 to hold off and like it might be. 188 00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:15.480 So much. 189 00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:16.960 It is. 190 00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:18.240 Will thank you so much. 191 00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:22.159 All right, you take care, you have a good day. 192 00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:24.559 All right, folks, we're going you two, We're gonna take 193 00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:27.080 a little break here. I'll be right back. Welcome back, 194 00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:31.840 Welcome back to garden Line. On a great day for gardening. 195 00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:33.480 You know, every day is a good day for gardening. 196 00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:36.639 I know it hadn't rained since I don't know when. 197 00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:38.960 Maybe you got to look up the other day. But 198 00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:41.440 first I'm still high and dry. But you know, it 199 00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:43.240 don't matter if it's pouring rains. A good day for 200 00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:46.679 gardening because we've got all kinds of things that we 201 00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:51.080 can do inside, from planning to starting seeds, to take 202 00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:53.720 care of house plants. There's always stuff to be doing 203 00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:57.639 propagating plants indoors, so the weather does not stop us 204 00:10:57.639 --> 00:11:00.320 from gardening. There is lots and lots to do. In fact, 205 00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:03.000 I got a box full of seeds. Then I wanted 206 00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:05.600 to start some transplants from a cool, cool season garden 207 00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:08.320 and I still haven't got them planted. With our nice 208 00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:10.799 mile winters here out and plan all winter, so I'll 209 00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:14.240 get it done. But anyway, always something we can be 210 00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:17.440 doing out there for gardening. Ace Hardware Store is going 211 00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:19.759 to have you covered with whatever you're going to be 212 00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:22.360 doing for gardening. You know, when it comes to the 213 00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:25.879 fall season, we got three big activities that happen in 214 00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:28.879 the lawns. There is the fertilizing with the fall fertilizer 215 00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:34.360 there is the weed prevention. The cool season. Weeds germinate 216 00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:36.440 in the fall, so those things you deal with in 217 00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:38.720 spring that are just sprout and everwhere, and weeds you know, 218 00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:41.600 clover and chickweed and handbit and all that stuff that 219 00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:44.200 started in the fall, and a pre emergent would prevent that. 220 00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:48.320 Third thing is disease prevention. The big brown circles. They 221 00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:51.440 are appearing in lawns already. I'm seeing them everywhere, and 222 00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:53.919 you got to get ahead of them by the time. 223 00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:56.399 When you apply a product, it gets in the plant 224 00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:59.159 and it stops it from getting sick, if you will, 225 00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:01.759 from the brown path, your large patches it's now called. 226 00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:03.919 But you got to get down ahead of time. If 227 00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:06.000 you already got some circles, you can put it down 228 00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:08.120 prevent additional ones, not going to make the ones you 229 00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:11.039 have green, but the sooner the better. And ACE Hardware's 230 00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:13.440 got you covered on all those things to care for 231 00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:17.679 your lawn. It makes it super super easy when you 232 00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:20.879 just go to ACE. For example, they've got the Texas 233 00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:26.200 three Step, which is Nitroposs's products that do exactly what 234 00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:33.200 I just said, three steps fertilizer, weed prevention, turf funge aside, 235 00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:36.120 those three, So do them all. Do them all the 236 00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:39.279 same time, same date, not in the same hopper. Just 237 00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:43.960 do them all together. You can apply them and then 238 00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:46.000 you want to water the whole nine yards, all three 239 00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:48.080 of them. Water men. About a half inch of water 240 00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:51.240 gets a fertilizer in the ground, gets the weed prevention 241 00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:55.360 in the soles surface, and it gets the fung aside 242 00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:56.960 in the ground. And this is interesting. You think, well, 243 00:12:57.000 --> 00:12:58.360 why I want to put on a lawn, Why don't 244 00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:00.279 I want to wash it down in the soil. It 245 00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:04.799 takes up by the roots. It's systemic, and it's like 246 00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:07.320 you take in an antibiotic and now a disease comes 247 00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:10.080 or is attacking your body, and it shuts it down 248 00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:13.360 from the inside. That's what Eagle turfungicide does. You can 249 00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:15.720 find nitro foss products a lot of different places. You know, 250 00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:19.200 Ace Hardwur's has them, Katie Ash Hardware, which is where 251 00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:21.440 I'm going to be a little bit later. I'll tell 252 00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:23.519 you about that in just a second. If you go 253 00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:26.840 to Aspase Ace up in the Woodlands, for example, or 254 00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:28.799 if you were to go down to Ace Hardware City 255 00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:30.919 on Memorial Drive, all those are places you can get 256 00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:34.080 the Nitrofoss three step and yes, I'm going to be 257 00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:38.559 at Katie Hardware.

And what usually 274 00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:30.360 happens at these events is, you know, people will gather 275 00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:32.759 and when someone walks up with a question, I'll just 276 00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:35.519 start talking about to the whole group because I don't know, 277 00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:37.480 maybe you brought in a picture of a weed and 278 00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:39.600 somebody else has that weed, but they didn't happen to 279 00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:42.440 come in for that today. But they can learn from 280 00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:45.000 what I'm telling you. And that's kind of how that works. 281 00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:47.600 It's a fun time. We always have a good time. Boy. 282 00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:51.440 Nitropos is going to be given away a lot several 283 00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:55.279 bags of each of the three steps from the Nitropaus 284 00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:59.200 three Step, the fertilizer, the barricade, and the Eagle Turf 285 00:14:59.200 --> 00:15:01.639 fund aside.

I've got 298 00:15:36.360 --> 00:15:38.279 some of the brown spots showing up in my yard. 299 00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:40.360 I send over some pictures. I'm not sure if you've 300 00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:43.279 got those available, and I wanted to get your expert 301 00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:45.720 opinion before I start throwing stuff at it. 302 00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:50.360 All right, I don't see the name Jay on a picture. 303 00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:51.240 Let's see. 304 00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:56.919 Uh can you tell me? Would it have come from 305 00:15:56.960 --> 00:15:57.720 another name? 306 00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:04.360 Maybe Jane? The title of it was Jay from Deer Park. 307 00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:10.759 Well, I'm not seeing it. Let's keep talking about it, 308 00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:11.759 and I'm gonna keep looking. 309 00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:16.159 But all right, it's a pretty healthy yard. 310 00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:18.039 I follow most of the schedule. 311 00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:20.960 I haven't put down any of the fall stuff yet 312 00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:23.519 to plan on doing it this weekend. But the past 313 00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:25.639 week or so, I've noticed some brown spots that have 314 00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:30.360 come in. They're not their regular in shape, but they're 315 00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:32.919 definitely not as green and a little bit different than 316 00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:33.759 the rest of the yard. 317 00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:36.039 And I'm assume. 318 00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:42.600 They don't look like that brown patch you're saying, Well, 319 00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:48.840 they're not circular, Okay, James or j I didn't I 320 00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:51.039 did not get your email. I don't know what's happened, 321 00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:54.759 but all right, Uh, we can do we can do 322 00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:57.720 a couple of things. I'll give you a quick answer here, 323 00:16:57.799 --> 00:16:59.639 and then if you want to try Reese, I'm gonna 324 00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:03.039 put you on hold and have the producer regive you 325 00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:05.559 my email to make sure you have the right address, 326 00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:08.000 and if you want to resend it, if I see it, 327 00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:09.880 I'll just talk about it on the air. If there's 328 00:17:09.880 --> 00:17:14.039 anything else to add. Okay, So if they're not circular, 329 00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:17.920 brown patch doesn't have to be circular, but it generally is, 330 00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:20.839 and it generally you kind of have a yellowing going 331 00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:23.559 on and then it actually you know, rots and the 332 00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:28.200 leaves rot and turned brown. If it's not that, it 333 00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:31.079 could be it could be taken root rot just finally 334 00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:35.359 showing some symptoms on there. It could be I don't know. 335 00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:39.039 There's not really another disease other than those two that 336 00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:42.039 is that we see these kind of symptoms on, especially 337 00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:46.440 this time of year. It's not chinchbugs. So I still 338 00:17:46.480 --> 00:17:51.920 am leaning toward some type of rizoctonia. That's the group 339 00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:54.839 of diseases that brown patches in. 340 00:17:56.319 --> 00:17:58.759 And the treatment for that, whether it be take our 341 00:17:58.799 --> 00:18:02.240 rot rot or the brown patch, it's still I cross 342 00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:03.359 eagle or something like that. 343 00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:04.079 It's the same. 344 00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:06.960 Yeah, eagle turf fund, eagle turf fund, just side, follow 345 00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:08.519 the label, put it down, and then water it in 346 00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:10.920 right away and get it in the ground, get so 347 00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:12.960 the roots can take it up. And you got that 348 00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:16.559 product in the plumbing of the plant to fight against 349 00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:18.079 whatever might might attack. 350 00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:21.480 And and the thought as far as just the application 351 00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:24.319 of that, if I do my pre emergent and fertilizer first, 352 00:18:24.400 --> 00:18:27.480 water those in and then lastly go over with the 353 00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:31.000 fund side with the water in, that is that I 354 00:18:31.039 --> 00:18:31.400 would do. 355 00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:35.079 If in my yard, I would do all three and 356 00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:37.279 then water it in. I mean, so you could get 357 00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:40.319 fill your hopper full of fertilizer, do it, come right back, 358 00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:43.039 get the barricade, do it, come right back, get the eagle, 359 00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:46.039 do it, and then water the whole thing in.

I was really impressed checking out Ugandas 390 00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:40.720 Native Plants, which is on Eleventh Street and the Heights. 391 00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:42.759 For those of you haven't been there yet, you really 392 00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:46.039 need to go. They specialize in natives. Now they don't 393 00:20:46.079 --> 00:20:47.960 only have natives. I mean they have a ton of 394 00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:50.680 other things, any kind of you know, do you want 395 00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:53.839 annual color, do you want vegetables, do you want herbs? 396 00:20:54.160 --> 00:20:57.680 Their houseplant greenhouse is huge. It's it's unbelievable. You need 397 00:20:57.720 --> 00:21:01.720 plants for shade, you need fruiting plants. But natives, that is, 398 00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:04.920 they have the best selection natives anywhere in the region, 399 00:21:05.319 --> 00:21:08.160 really really good selection. And I was just looking at 400 00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:09.960 some of the different kinds of plants that they have 401 00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:12.680 and it reminded me of something. And I don't talk 402 00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:15.000 a lot about a yopon. You know, there are a 403 00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:18.960 number of different types of yopon, but they're berries are 404 00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:22.759 just gorgeous during the cool season. Now, I will say this, 405 00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:24.680 you got little bitty kids that don't know not to 406 00:21:24.680 --> 00:21:28.720 put stuff in their mouth. Well, yopon berries are a purgative. 407 00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:30.880 In other words, they make you throw up. Do you 408 00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:33.440 know what The genus of our species of yopon is 409 00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:38.960 Vomitoria ilex vomitoria. That ought to tell you something. Sorry 410 00:21:39.039 --> 00:21:41.640 for that so early in the morning. But I love 411 00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:43.640 those plants. I got one in my backyard and it 412 00:21:43.680 --> 00:21:46.440 loads up with berries. Bring them in for decorating, just 413 00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:49.400 enjoy them in the landscape. But they don't have yopon. 414 00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:51.519 They've got a lot of other things. How about possum 415 00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:55.759 hau Possum hauw is like a deciduous think of a yopon, 416 00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:58.279 this decidious sort of like that's the different species. But 417 00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:01.720 it drops it sleeves and now you have all of 418 00:22:01.759 --> 00:22:04.599 these branches, naked branches with berries all over them in 419 00:22:04.640 --> 00:22:08.079 the cool season. That's another great one. They have things 420 00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:10.759 that are just well. I could just go on and 421 00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:14.240 on naming specific natives, but you need to go You 422 00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:16.079 really need to go by and check it out. If 423 00:22:16.119 --> 00:22:18.799 you want flowers, if you want berries, if you want 424 00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:22.839 fall color, do you want shrubs, trees, groundcovers. They have 425 00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:27.359 natives for everything there. And native plants are well, if 426 00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:30.240 they're native, that means that they like it here, right. 427 00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:32.839 We bring plants in from all over the world. Sometimes 428 00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:35.880 it works, sometimes they're not very happy here. Natives are 429 00:22:35.960 --> 00:22:37.839 and that you can get natives that are just native 430 00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:41.880 to Houston area at Buchanans Native Plants, or you can 431 00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:44.519 get natives that are native to our region. It really 432 00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:46.720 really is cool and when you go in there, you're 433 00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:49.359 gonna enjoy it. It's a great place to shop, just 434 00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:52.319 just enjoyable.

Out in my 439 00:23:08.039 --> 00:23:11.720 yard this week, I've been working on a number of things. 440 00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:15.640 I've got a patio that i'm creating or building. I 441 00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:17.960 started it a while back and then I got sidetracked 442 00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:21.200 doing some other projects that were kind of more front 443 00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:24.240 burner things. But this is going to be It's a 444 00:23:24.279 --> 00:23:26.680 flat stone patio. I've got a nice base laid down 445 00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:28.640 for it, and I'm fixing the laith the flat stones. 446 00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:30.920 We were just out picking out some stune the other 447 00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:34.240 day and the grit that's going to go in between them, 448 00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:37.319 and it's expanding. Arnold patio is not big enough for me. 449 00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:39.920 I want it bigger. And because you know, when you 450 00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:42.839 have more than a half dozen people or something, you 451 00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:45.519 need space to kind of spread out. So anyway, we're 452 00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:48.279 putting that down. That is a project that now has 453 00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:51.519 made it to my front burner and just really looking 454 00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:53.880 forward to. I got some beds that I'm redoing also, 455 00:23:54.720 --> 00:23:59.759 in fact, just finished yesterday doing some repotting. My wife 456 00:23:59.799 --> 00:24:03.039 love strings a string of and I think she has 457 00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:07.599 a string of everything, you know, pearls and tears and hearts. 458 00:24:07.759 --> 00:24:10.720 I'm trying to go through in my head all these things. Anyway, 459 00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:16.160 she's got a string of just oh, bananas, dolphins, andy. 460 00:24:16.160 --> 00:24:20.759 We're repotting them up and getting those set up inside 461 00:24:20.799 --> 00:24:22.880 the house. See, I told you gardening you can do 462 00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:25.240 it on any kind of day, and this was at 463 00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:27.440 night we were working on them. Last night was dark 464 00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:31.240 out side. Still gardening, but it's just fun to get 465 00:24:31.240 --> 00:24:33.160 out and do it. I encourage you. What kind of 466 00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:37.480 gardening have you not done much of, or if any like, 467 00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:43.799 for example, have you ever tried to grow African violence inside? 468 00:24:43.920 --> 00:24:46.119 They are not that difficult. You just give them a 469 00:24:46.160 --> 00:24:49.039 few things they really want and they will do very 470 00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:51.799 well on their beautiful plants. Have you ever tried to 471 00:24:51.799 --> 00:24:57.640 grow the holiday cacti? There's a Christmas Thanksgiving an Easter 472 00:24:57.880 --> 00:25:02.079 cactied named for a when they bloom, I've got a 473 00:25:02.079 --> 00:25:04.119 bunch of them. Seems like every year I buy another 474 00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:07.279 one and then I keep it, so I probably have 475 00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:10.680 five different holiday cac die from the last five years 476 00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:14.000 that are still around there. Tough, easy, easy plants to grow. 477 00:25:14.119 --> 00:25:17.000 They do well. Have you ever grown a vegetable garden? 478 00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:20.119 You don't have room for one, Well, then get you 479 00:25:20.200 --> 00:25:23.000 a container you can grow vegetables and a candentate. Try 480 00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:26.839 that this year. Try make a fresh salad garden. I've 481 00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:29.160 done that before. You take a big old pot something 482 00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:31.920 I have, whiskey barrel size, let's say, and you plan 483 00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:33.440 a little bit of kale in it. You plant a 484 00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:35.319 little bit of a regular, a little bit of lettuce, 485 00:25:35.319 --> 00:25:37.200 a little bit of spinach. Do you see what I'm saying? 486 00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:39.200 And when it's time to harvest, you just have this 487 00:25:39.359 --> 00:25:41.799 mixed salad of all kinds of things that you can grow. 488 00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:45.279 It's really easy to do. You should try that. What 489 00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:48.359 kind of gardening have you not done before? Why not 490 00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:51.200 try that one? How about? Do you have things that 491 00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:54.119 attract butterflies in your landscape? Do you have things that 492 00:25:54.160 --> 00:26:00.720 attract hummingbirds to your landscape? I was out this past 493 00:26:01.279 --> 00:26:04.200 late summer spring and we had some things blooming vy 494 00:26:04.319 --> 00:26:06.799 Texas still blooming out there, and the hummingbirds were just 495 00:26:06.839 --> 00:26:09.640 coming to it. I was watching those things go after it. 496 00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:12.480 Right now, I'm looking out the window at some lantanas 497 00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:16.640 that I'm not right now, but it's dark outside, but anyway, 498 00:26:17.799 --> 00:26:20.599 the lantanas are blooming, and here come all kinds of 499 00:26:20.680 --> 00:26:24.640 butterflies and bees. A little. We have a number of 500 00:26:24.680 --> 00:26:28.440 plants that we planted for the bees. Mexican heather, surprising 501 00:26:28.519 --> 00:26:31.079 little bitty thing with tiny little blooms, and boy, the 502 00:26:31.200 --> 00:26:34.680 bees love that stuff. What kind of gardening have you 503 00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:37.039 not tried to do? What kind of plants have you 504 00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:39.319 not tried to grow? How about trying that? If you 505 00:26:39.319 --> 00:26:41.319 had any questions about them, give us a call. We 506 00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:45.400 can help you have success with that. I'm gonna go 507 00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:49.240 now to North Houston and we're going to talk to Robert. Hello, Robert, 508 00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:52.400 welcome to garden Line. Good morning, skib Hey. 509 00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:55.240 I want to talk to you about how you propagate 510 00:26:55.279 --> 00:27:01.079 plants from root cuttings and is it just pretty much 511 00:27:01.160 --> 00:27:03.880 any plants you can propagate with root cuttings or is 512 00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:07.240 it just specific now just specific ones? 513 00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:09.960 You know, it depends on the plant. Some plants are 514 00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:12.799 able to propagate that way and others are not, and 515 00:27:12.839 --> 00:27:14.279 you would just have to kind of go online to 516 00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:17.319 a search for whatever plant you're looking for. It's real 517 00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:21.400 common with like blackberries, they'll propagate from root cutting. So 518 00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:24.200 people that have a single plant can make more plants 519 00:27:24.200 --> 00:27:26.319 out of that very easily by digging up the roots 520 00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:29.039 six inch long and moving them down the road, making 521 00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:31.599 your row longer. But there are some that will do 522 00:27:31.640 --> 00:27:33.839 that and it basically is just a matter of cutting 523 00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:36.680 the roots. And again you got to know the type 524 00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:41.480 of plant as to exactly how you would go about it. 525 00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:44.319 But root cutting is about the easiest type of propagation 526 00:27:44.440 --> 00:27:47.480 you can do. Okay, let me ask him. 527 00:27:47.480 --> 00:27:51.680 Would you use the hormones to like dip the roots 528 00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:54.319 in the hormones when you're doing root cuttings. 529 00:27:55.480 --> 00:27:57.960 No, you don't need to do that with root cuttings. 530 00:27:58.000 --> 00:28:00.759 You just plant them and get them in the ground. 531 00:28:00.839 --> 00:28:04.440 Watermen real good and you know they'll they'll make it. 532 00:28:04.720 --> 00:28:08.880 They do not need hormones. Okay, you can you have 533 00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:11.799 the hormone portion, yes, one more, go ahead. 534 00:28:12.920 --> 00:28:14.720 You know, have you seen those pictures like up in 535 00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:18.799 the Alaska, like I think it's maybe Fairbanks, it was 536 00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:21.480 Alaska much seeing the pictures of the six hundred pounds 537 00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:24.799 cabbages and they say it's because of the it gets 538 00:28:24.799 --> 00:28:27.359 six months the daylight and six months of darkness. 539 00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:31.440 Yeah. Yeah, could you could you. 540 00:28:31.160 --> 00:28:34.200 Like put grow lights out at night here and when 541 00:28:34.200 --> 00:28:38.000 it gets dark kind of simulate that by doing that 542 00:28:38.039 --> 00:28:38.920 with grow lights? 543 00:28:39.359 --> 00:28:43.039 Well, is it possible? Yes? Is it practical? No, it 544 00:28:43.160 --> 00:28:46.559 takes a lot of light and grow lights. If you 545 00:28:46.640 --> 00:28:49.680 had very nice, expensive grow lights and you were almost 546 00:28:49.720 --> 00:28:52.759 making them think it was daytime out there. Number one, 547 00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:55.480 the neighbors are going to not appreciate that. But uh, 548 00:28:56.279 --> 00:28:58.480 you could make a plant grow a little bit longer, 549 00:28:58.519 --> 00:29:03.359 but it it. Yeah, it just depends that and good 550 00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:06.599 soil and good fertilizer or kind of all added together. 551 00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:12.640 That's how they grow those monsters. Okay, Hey, Robert, thank 552 00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:14.920 you I appreciate your call very much. Call us again. 553 00:29:14.960 --> 00:29:18.839 Sometimes you take care, you know.

It's going to increase blooming. 562 00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:47.960 Leaf growth is going to be better. I would say 563 00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:51.400 it's fall season. A lot of people are planting and transplanting. 564 00:29:52.079 --> 00:29:54.559 Have some Medina Soil Activator on the shelf twelve months 565 00:29:54.599 --> 00:29:56.519 out of the year.

Hey, 572 00:30:24.799 --> 00:30:27.880 welcome to garden Line. Welcome back to the Garden Line. 573 00:30:28.319 --> 00:30:31.960 I have got a number of things I want to 574 00:30:31.960 --> 00:30:35.359 talk about today. One of the things that I wanted 575 00:30:35.400 --> 00:30:41.119 to mention to you is we deal with nematodes in 576 00:30:41.119 --> 00:30:44.720 our gardens, and I have found them in two different places. 577 00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:47.640 You know, we're in a home we've only been in 578 00:30:47.680 --> 00:30:53.880 about four years now, and the the types of soil 579 00:30:53.960 --> 00:30:56.640 beds and things, most of them I haven't built. Most 580 00:30:56.680 --> 00:31:00.079 of them. I'm rebuilding as I go through. And I 581 00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:02.319 I pulled some boxwood that just wasn't doing good out 582 00:31:02.319 --> 00:31:04.160 of a bed and pulled it up, and boy, there 583 00:31:04.039 --> 00:31:06.359 are Nema toads all over the route. So, okay, we 584 00:31:06.440 --> 00:31:08.839 got Nema toads here. I went out in the garden 585 00:31:09.119 --> 00:31:11.720 and I had a spot in my garden where I'd 586 00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:14.599 never had nematoads before. And suddenly there are some nematodes. 587 00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:16.599 And I'll tell you how I got them. I brought 588 00:31:16.640 --> 00:31:20.559 in kind of a sandy soul mix. And nematods can 589 00:31:20.599 --> 00:31:23.880 be in any soul, but they love sand. They love sand. 590 00:31:24.799 --> 00:31:28.559 Had they just proliferate better. And so I basically unknowingly 591 00:31:28.759 --> 00:31:30.720 brought them in. You can't look at a sand to go, oh, 592 00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:33.880 it's got nematodes in it. It does or it doesn't. Anyway, 593 00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:35.759 I pulled up some okra, and boy, there they are. 594 00:31:35.799 --> 00:31:39.119 And okra is something that I kind of get obsessed over. 595 00:31:39.279 --> 00:31:43.720 I do okrah breeding and crossing, and I'm creating new varieties. 596 00:31:43.839 --> 00:31:47.640 I'm going beyond the normal okra grower to the I'm 597 00:31:47.680 --> 00:31:52.440 the abnormal okra grower. Anyway, nematodes is bad news for 598 00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:55.880 okra and figs and bazillion other types of plants. I 599 00:31:56.000 --> 00:31:59.839 put something online. If you go to my website, which 600 00:31:59.880 --> 00:32:03.279 is gardening with Skip dot com, we just put up 601 00:32:03.960 --> 00:32:07.160 a little publication I wrote, managing root not nematodes in 602 00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:12.079 gardens and landscapes. You do not eradicate root not nematodes. 603 00:32:12.519 --> 00:32:15.039 There's no spray that kills all the root not nematodes. 604 00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:17.960 You manage them once you have them. And there are 605 00:32:18.000 --> 00:32:19.759 a lot of things that you can do, and this 606 00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:22.880 publication goes through each one, and I would suggest do 607 00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:25.119 as many of them as you can. In areas that 608 00:32:25.160 --> 00:32:28.160 you have nematodes. Number one, don't bring them in, and 609 00:32:28.279 --> 00:32:30.559 we sometimes bring them in on plants too. I have 610 00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:33.359 turned a plant upside down, pulled the pot off of it, 611 00:32:33.480 --> 00:32:35.960 looked at it and saw little nematode roots. And not 612 00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:38.160 the garden centers I talk about here on guarden Line, 613 00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:40.240 but I've been to a garden center that I found 614 00:32:40.240 --> 00:32:43.920 nematodes on the plants. So somebody just used a sandy 615 00:32:43.960 --> 00:32:47.480 mix in the growing mix to grow those plants and 616 00:32:47.519 --> 00:32:49.680 there they were. Don't bring that plant home, I mean 617 00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:51.920 that one. Let the garden center know they need to 618 00:32:51.960 --> 00:32:55.559 not be selling that. And it's not the garden center's fault, 619 00:32:55.599 --> 00:32:58.279 you know. They bring the plants in and they come 620 00:32:58.279 --> 00:33:00.920 from a grower. Almost always a few people grow their own. 621 00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:05.480 But anyway, managing root not nematods and gardens and landscapes, 622 00:33:05.599 --> 00:33:07.880 there's a lot of things you can do to suppress 623 00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:12.440 them and still have a really good productive garden. And 624 00:33:12.799 --> 00:33:14.720 that's what I'm going to start doing. You know, I 625 00:33:14.759 --> 00:33:18.759 find that whenever I have a problem, Number one I 626 00:33:18.799 --> 00:33:22.200 get I'm annoyed by that, but number two, I kind 627 00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:23.880 of get a little bit excited about it because it 628 00:33:23.920 --> 00:33:26.640 gives me a chance to experiment and to try some 629 00:33:26.720 --> 00:33:28.680 new things and to learn. You know, I did a 630 00:33:28.839 --> 00:33:32.599 nutsedge publication a while back, and I have been working 631 00:33:32.680 --> 00:33:36.240 on nuts edge with a number of different approaches and 632 00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:39.599 as a result things I learned. It's like, okay, here's 633 00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:42.359 how you do it. Well, here's the name of toad one. 634 00:33:42.480 --> 00:33:45.200 And I'm dealing with those as well. So I feel 635 00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:47.920 your pain. All right, We're going to go out to 636 00:33:48.359 --> 00:33:52.920 Kingwood and talk to Liz. Hello, Liz, good morning. 637 00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:53.680 How are you today. 638 00:33:54.960 --> 00:33:55.960 I'm well, thank you. 639 00:33:57.640 --> 00:34:01.319 I'm calling because we got over the last couple of years. 640 00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:07.079 We are randomly losing trees around our fence line. They're 641 00:34:07.079 --> 00:34:11.599 not sweet thems, they're not oaks. Some of them are pines. 642 00:34:11.880 --> 00:34:14.280 They've been here for a really long time. The trees, 643 00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:18.000 some are not pines. We were gone for two weeks, 644 00:34:18.480 --> 00:34:20.159 came back and I have a tree in my front 645 00:34:20.239 --> 00:34:23.039 yard that's absolutely stunning. At the pine it's like a 646 00:34:23.159 --> 00:34:26.559 twisty pine, is a very unique almost like a stunt pine. 647 00:34:26.559 --> 00:34:31.119 It's very interesting and it's goodly dead and there's nothing 648 00:34:31.119 --> 00:34:34.320 in the trees. There's no sap on it, like, I'm 649 00:34:34.320 --> 00:34:37.199 not seeing any bugs. I'm not seeing anything that will 650 00:34:37.239 --> 00:34:39.760 indicates that I have any infestations. 651 00:34:40.039 --> 00:34:42.079 And I know king was the unique air, but. 652 00:34:43.559 --> 00:34:47.719 You need our trees, all right, okay, Liz. So are 653 00:34:47.719 --> 00:34:51.039 these trees ones you've planted in the last five years, 654 00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:54.079 or are these some of them that are just in nature, 655 00:34:54.079 --> 00:34:57.960 coming from nature? Are they there long long before you 656 00:34:57.960 --> 00:34:59.840 you start gardening? 657 00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:04.079 Are definitely from nature, and some have just been there 658 00:35:04.079 --> 00:35:06.920 planted since the house from the seventies, so I would 659 00:35:06.920 --> 00:35:08.559 assume some of them have been around that. 660 00:35:08.599 --> 00:35:08.840 Are right. 661 00:35:08.920 --> 00:35:10.280 Yeah. 662 00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:14.800 Well, whenever we see a loss of plants of different 663 00:35:14.840 --> 00:35:19.599 species all happening at once, it usually is signs of 664 00:35:19.800 --> 00:35:26.760 a weather related type problem. It's usually not a disease. 665 00:35:26.880 --> 00:35:28.920 There are some diseases that will kill a bunch of 666 00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:31.719 different kinds of plants by rotting the roots. There's one 667 00:35:32.079 --> 00:35:34.880 one called oak root rot that occurs in some of 668 00:35:34.880 --> 00:35:37.599 the acidic soils, which a lot of the soils out 669 00:35:37.639 --> 00:35:40.119 there in the Kingwood area can be. Anything that's once 670 00:35:40.159 --> 00:35:44.480 a forest out in East Texas area is potentially an 671 00:35:44.480 --> 00:35:47.239 acidic soil, and it can attack a number trees, but 672 00:35:47.320 --> 00:35:51.039 doesn't attack pine trees. So I think what we're looking 673 00:35:51.079 --> 00:35:55.320 at is the results of a combination. Typically, droughts will 674 00:35:55.960 --> 00:35:58.239 stress the trees, and we've had a couple of doozies 675 00:35:58.280 --> 00:36:01.360 in the last five years, and then the cold and 676 00:36:01.400 --> 00:36:04.960 we've had some really serious cold damage occurs inside. One 677 00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:08.280 thing leads to another and eventually the plant gets weak 678 00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:12.400 and trees. I guess the analogy that helps it make 679 00:36:12.480 --> 00:36:14.800 sense a little bit is if you were standing on 680 00:36:14.880 --> 00:36:17.559 the edge of a table and you leaned forward. You 681 00:36:17.599 --> 00:36:20.360 could lean and lean and lean, but there's some point 682 00:36:20.400 --> 00:36:23.280 where you start to go over and you can't stop right, 683 00:36:23.719 --> 00:36:26.280 You're going to fall off the table. And it's like, 684 00:36:26.320 --> 00:36:29.320 these trees are there, they're resilient, they're looking good, but 685 00:36:29.440 --> 00:36:33.280 at some point they just hit that spot where they're 686 00:36:33.320 --> 00:36:36.400 going downhill and it's hard to stop it. And I 687 00:36:36.440 --> 00:36:39.960 think that is probably what you're looking at, combinations either 688 00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:43.760 cold and or drought, drought being more likely, or if 689 00:36:43.800 --> 00:36:47.000 you change anything where suddenly an area that was dry 690 00:36:47.199 --> 00:36:49.719 now becomes a swamp, or an area that was swamp 691 00:36:49.840 --> 00:36:53.920 suddenly becomes very dry. Those kind of sudden changes, trees 692 00:36:53.920 --> 00:36:55.440 can't react to them fast enough. 693 00:36:56.840 --> 00:36:59.960 Okay, So I shouldn't be concerned about taking them up 694 00:37:00.519 --> 00:37:04.559 and replacing a different tree or bush in those places. 695 00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:07.559 I don't think so. I don't think so. The only 696 00:37:07.599 --> 00:37:12.039 exception would be the root, the root rod. But you 697 00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:14.159 know they've been there a long long time, and root 698 00:37:14.239 --> 00:37:16.440 rod doesn't didn't just drop out of an airplane and 699 00:37:16.519 --> 00:37:19.880 land on your property one day. So it I don't 700 00:37:19.920 --> 00:37:23.599 think that's you know, the description you're giving me. Tree 701 00:37:23.599 --> 00:37:26.119 has been there a long time, lots of species. All 702 00:37:26.159 --> 00:37:29.440 of a sudden we're dying. I think, yeah, I think 703 00:37:29.480 --> 00:37:33.880 that's accumulated stress and it just it just finally hit 704 00:37:33.920 --> 00:37:34.960 the point where it's too much. 705 00:37:36.280 --> 00:37:38.519 Okay, well, thank you for your advice. 706 00:37:38.559 --> 00:37:41.079 I appreciate that, all right. 707 00:37:40.960 --> 00:37:43.840 Liz, thanks, thanks, Lacole, appreciate that.

It's 889 00:48:17.239 --> 00:48:18.880 a lot of work and time and then you go 890 00:48:18.960 --> 00:48:21.280 tripping over those things. You don't need to do that. 891 00:48:21.639 --> 00:48:24.239 You get a three sixty tree stabilizer and just like 892 00:48:24.320 --> 00:48:28.400 a I would use a teepost. Drive it into the ground. 893 00:48:28.400 --> 00:48:30.599 You can plant a post in the ground like you 894 00:48:30.719 --> 00:48:32.760 building a fence kind of post if you want to 895 00:48:32.800 --> 00:48:34.760 do that, but I would just use a teapost. You 896 00:48:34.800 --> 00:48:37.159 hook that stabilizer up to the tree post. It's only 897 00:48:37.199 --> 00:48:40.159 going to be a couple feet away from the tree 898 00:48:40.719 --> 00:48:44.719 even less, and it hooks onto the post very firmly. 899 00:48:44.760 --> 00:48:47.039 And then it hooks on to the tree with a loose, 900 00:48:47.119 --> 00:48:49.320 soft metal strap so the tree can move just a 901 00:48:49.320 --> 00:48:53.039 little bit, which is very important, as those branches, as 902 00:48:53.079 --> 00:48:55.119 the trunk bends a little bit in the wind, and 903 00:48:55.119 --> 00:48:57.039 as the roots are pulled on a little bit, they 904 00:48:57.079 --> 00:49:00.239 get stronger, and that principle of nature that and you 905 00:49:00.400 --> 00:49:03.639 bend something when you work something it gets stronger. That 906 00:49:03.960 --> 00:49:06.760 is exactly what happens with the tree three sixty tree 907 00:49:06.760 --> 00:49:08.960 stabilizer when you set it up like it's designed to 908 00:49:08.960 --> 00:49:10.960 be set up. You can get them at RCW. You 909 00:49:10.960 --> 00:49:12.960 can get them at Jegesit and Guards down in Alvin 910 00:49:13.159 --> 00:49:16.760 Bukens Native Plants in the Heights, Southwest Fertilizer Southwest Houston, 911 00:49:17.199 --> 00:49:20.400 Arborgate and Tomball Plants for all seasons on two forty 912 00:49:20.480 --> 00:49:22.559 nine up on the way to Tomwall and Sienna Maltch 913 00:49:22.960 --> 00:49:26.800 down south near Sienna. All those places carry the three 914 00:49:26.880 --> 00:49:29.960 sixty tree stabilizer. We're going to go back out to 915 00:49:30.039 --> 00:49:32.360 the phones now, and Calvin, I'm going to jump back 916 00:49:32.400 --> 00:49:37.440 into our conversation. Basically, if that area is as you describe, 917 00:49:37.480 --> 00:49:39.840 I wouldn't try putting grass in it. I don't think 918 00:49:39.880 --> 00:49:46.159 it'll be successful. The Asian jasmine is an inexpensive groundcover 919 00:49:46.280 --> 00:49:49.519 because it spreads, so you can plant a few plants 920 00:49:49.519 --> 00:49:52.079 and they kind of fill in over time. But I 921 00:49:52.119 --> 00:49:54.639 don't think it's going to be really happy in that area. 922 00:49:54.760 --> 00:49:57.280 But you may want to give that a try. If 923 00:49:57.320 --> 00:49:59.559 I were you and you're looking to save some money, 924 00:49:59.599 --> 00:50:03.519 I would maybe put something like cast iron plant around 925 00:50:03.639 --> 00:50:07.800 along beside the house. It's about knee high, and just 926 00:50:07.920 --> 00:50:10.199 do a strip of that around the sides. And then 927 00:50:10.320 --> 00:50:15.760 I would use some as tech grass or another thing 928 00:50:15.800 --> 00:50:18.039 that you as tech grass is not a grass, it's 929 00:50:18.079 --> 00:50:20.639 a it's like a riopy, but it's white and it 930 00:50:20.679 --> 00:50:24.559 helps brighten up a shady area. I would use that 931 00:50:24.840 --> 00:50:28.039 and I've done that in my front bed and I 932 00:50:28.079 --> 00:50:30.000 bought oh, I don't know, I had them. I probably 933 00:50:30.039 --> 00:50:35.000 planted them about or so apart, putt and a half apart. 934 00:50:35.440 --> 00:50:37.159 And then at the end of a season, you go 935 00:50:37.239 --> 00:50:39.960 in with a shovel and you divide each of those 936 00:50:40.239 --> 00:50:43.320 and you plant them in between. And so you went 937 00:50:43.480 --> 00:50:46.719 you doubled your amount and save some money by just 938 00:50:46.760 --> 00:50:50.559 being patient and then doing that division later. So that's 939 00:50:50.599 --> 00:50:52.840 another way that you can cover. 940 00:50:52.679 --> 00:50:57.599 Are life and that's called as tech grass. 941 00:50:57.440 --> 00:51:01.079 As tech as tech grass, but it it's a if 942 00:51:01.119 --> 00:51:04.079 you know what loriapi is, it's got a strappy green leaf. 943 00:51:04.159 --> 00:51:08.239 Aztec grass has a green and white striped leaf, mostly white, 944 00:51:09.000 --> 00:51:11.360 and it really brightens up a shade area. So those 945 00:51:12.000 --> 00:51:13.760 and then just put a multch, put a real thick 946 00:51:13.840 --> 00:51:16.440 multch through that area, and then in time you can 947 00:51:16.480 --> 00:51:19.519 add more to it. But the maltch keeps weeds down 948 00:51:19.800 --> 00:51:23.320 and I think it looks fine. So those would be 949 00:51:23.400 --> 00:51:25.800 some tips for you. I got to run to another call, 950 00:51:25.840 --> 00:51:28.679 but thank you very much and good luck getting that 951 00:51:29.559 --> 00:51:33.920 getting that going in Chena Forest is the garden center 952 00:51:34.000 --> 00:51:36.920 down there.

I think they're going to be talking 961 00:52:05.159 --> 00:52:08.400 about native wildlife. They're going to bring what they call 962 00:52:08.440 --> 00:52:11.719 their ambassadors. I think that would mean some living furry 963 00:52:11.719 --> 00:52:14.679 things and maybe feathery things for a show and tell. 964 00:52:14.760 --> 00:52:16.719 The four ben Master Gardeners will be out there from 965 00:52:16.719 --> 00:52:20.079 ten to two answering your questions about the Superstar program, 966 00:52:20.280 --> 00:52:23.559 you know, and Chenned Forest has lots of Superstar plants 967 00:52:23.599 --> 00:52:26.199 for sale.

And of course they do. 974 00:52:43.400 --> 00:52:48.760 I mean, who doesn't like puppies anyway. Around the nursery, 975 00:52:48.800 --> 00:52:52.480 they got cycomanes in fall, veggies, fall color, lots and 976 00:52:52.559 --> 00:52:55.840 lots of trees. I talked earlier about maybe a flowering tree. 977 00:52:56.000 --> 00:52:59.360 How about a Chinese friene one of my favorite flowering trees, white, 978 00:52:59.400 --> 00:53:02.880 shaggy blue in the spring with a faint fragrance. It's wonderful. 979 00:53:03.360 --> 00:53:05.440 Red buds. I got a lot of types of red buds, 980 00:53:05.519 --> 00:53:09.000 the native Mexican plum, walter I Burnham, rough leaf, dogwood. 981 00:53:09.079 --> 00:53:12.719 It's all there. Just go out to Intended Forest. They're 982 00:53:12.800 --> 00:53:18.000 out FM twenty seven fifty nine, specifically twenty seven fifty 983 00:53:18.079 --> 00:53:20.599 nine FM twenty seven fifty nine. Go out and check 984 00:53:20.639 --> 00:53:22.639 them out. We're going to go now to sugarland and 985 00:53:22.679 --> 00:53:23.519 talk to Carol. 986 00:53:23.719 --> 00:53:26.159 Hello, Carol, good morning. 987 00:53:26.719 --> 00:53:32.400 I wanted to plant a small, a small tree, something 988 00:53:32.440 --> 00:53:35.880 that won't get more than maybe fifteen feet, but I 989 00:53:35.920 --> 00:53:39.159 still need some shade and it's going to be in 990 00:53:39.280 --> 00:53:43.760 full sun, so I wonder if you have any recommendations. 991 00:53:43.960 --> 00:53:47.559 I put a Chinese fringe tree there. They are a 992 00:53:47.599 --> 00:53:52.159 medium rate grower and they're only it'll take them a 993 00:53:52.159 --> 00:53:54.960 while to get bigger than fifteen feet. They can they 994 00:53:55.039 --> 00:53:57.239 will get bigger in time, but you can do a 995 00:53:57.239 --> 00:54:00.679 little proning on them too. But a Chinese fringe gives 996 00:54:00.719 --> 00:54:04.320 you those spring blooms and it's just wonderful. A red 997 00:54:04.360 --> 00:54:07.119 bud would be okay. Generally we put those in a 998 00:54:07.159 --> 00:54:11.440 partial shade area, but that would be okay. Mexican plum 999 00:54:11.639 --> 00:54:14.760 is a native plant that that would fit that bill 1000 00:54:15.239 --> 00:54:17.639 pretty good. And then there are crape myrtles in the 1001 00:54:17.760 --> 00:54:22.679 medium size range. If you go if you do this, 1002 00:54:23.119 --> 00:54:26.519 do a web search and put in crape myrtle and 1003 00:54:26.639 --> 00:54:29.400 my name Skip Richter. If you do a web search 1004 00:54:29.440 --> 00:54:32.039 for those two things, you're going to see a chart 1005 00:54:32.159 --> 00:54:34.639 that I put together a long time ago, and it 1006 00:54:34.679 --> 00:54:37.000 has crape myrtles from three feet high to thirty five 1007 00:54:37.000 --> 00:54:39.039 feet high, and it tells you the color, it tells 1008 00:54:39.079 --> 00:54:42.559 you the size and other factors about them. Now, not 1009 00:54:42.639 --> 00:54:44.960 ever crape myrtle is on that list, but it'll at 1010 00:54:45.039 --> 00:54:47.280 least get you thinking in the right way. You probably 1011 00:54:47.280 --> 00:54:50.159 want one that's going to get, you know, fifteen seventeen 1012 00:54:50.239 --> 00:54:53.360 somewhere in their feet range, and it wouldn't be a 1013 00:54:53.400 --> 00:54:55.320 bad idea for that. Plus crape myrtles will give you 1014 00:54:55.320 --> 00:54:56.559 a little bit of fall color. Two. 1015 00:54:58.239 --> 00:55:01.480 Do those look good true the winter? 1016 00:55:03.800 --> 00:55:04.119 Well? 1017 00:55:04.519 --> 00:55:06.800 Uh, I think crape myrtles do because they have that 1018 00:55:07.039 --> 00:55:11.599 smooth bark. Some types have a cinnamon colored bark that's 1019 00:55:11.719 --> 00:55:14.199 even prettier. A lot of types have kind of a 1020 00:55:14.239 --> 00:55:17.440 putty colored bark, but it's smooth, and so it is. 1021 00:55:17.679 --> 00:55:20.719 It is an interest, a winter interest in and of itself. 1022 00:55:21.880 --> 00:55:26.079 You know, in the wintertime, you're not really having trees blooming. 1023 00:55:26.800 --> 00:55:29.519 You may have something with berries on it. So you 1024 00:55:29.559 --> 00:55:31.880 could do something like a possum haul, but that's more 1025 00:55:31.960 --> 00:55:34.960 like a large multi stem shrub. But it would have 1026 00:55:35.039 --> 00:55:37.199 berries on it in the winter, but it wouldn't look 1027 00:55:37.239 --> 00:55:41.280 like much during the regular main part of the growing season. 1028 00:55:43.000 --> 00:55:44.239 Okay, thank you very much. 1029 00:55:45.519 --> 00:55:47.599 You bet, Thank you for the call.

I'm going to head now to a norm 1156 01:02:20.280 --> 01:02:22.119 if I can find the right button. There we go. 1157 01:02:22.199 --> 01:02:24.239 Norm welcome to Garden Line. 1158 01:02:25.119 --> 01:02:28.480 Hey, I'm driving listening to you love your show. I 1159 01:02:28.480 --> 01:02:31.880 have a question about growing grass on the north side 1160 01:02:32.440 --> 01:02:36.320 of my house. I've been in fifteen years and I 1161 01:02:36.400 --> 01:02:40.679 just can't keep grass. There is there a Saint Augustine 1162 01:02:40.719 --> 01:02:43.199 type of grass that's made for the shade. 1163 01:02:45.320 --> 01:02:49.280 Well, Saint Augustine is a species. Is about our most 1164 01:02:49.280 --> 01:02:55.079 shade tolerant of the grasses. Now there are some that 1165 01:02:55.599 --> 01:02:58.320 claim to have a little bit better shade tolerance, but 1166 01:02:58.840 --> 01:03:03.639 actually I the difference is minimal, and in some cases 1167 01:03:03.719 --> 01:03:06.519 I wouldn't recommend the variety for other reasons. I would 1168 01:03:06.519 --> 01:03:09.480 just get you a good, good quality Saint Augustine, and 1169 01:03:09.519 --> 01:03:11.599 there are a number of them out there. Depends on 1170 01:03:11.719 --> 01:03:17.039 what you're looking to achieve. Uh, there's yeah, so it is. 1171 01:03:17.159 --> 01:03:19.599 It just kind of depends on, you know, specifically what 1172 01:03:19.639 --> 01:03:20.840 you're you're looking for. 1173 01:03:22.079 --> 01:03:24.840 It's under a pecan tree that I ascend. Should I 1174 01:03:24.920 --> 01:03:27.559 take the tree out to get it more sun. 1175 01:03:31.039 --> 01:03:32.679 Well, I mean that would give it all full sign 1176 01:03:33.760 --> 01:03:35.599 But do you want the pecan tree? I mean, that's 1177 01:03:35.599 --> 01:03:38.199 a that's a pretty drastic measure to have a long 1178 01:03:38.280 --> 01:03:40.880 But that's that's your that's your business. 1179 01:03:41.280 --> 01:03:43.079 Okay, Well it's on the north side of my house, 1180 01:03:43.119 --> 01:03:48.920 so I don't look at so yeah, yeah. 1181 01:03:48.800 --> 01:03:50.679 Well you even disappoint a lot of squirrels. 1182 01:03:52.239 --> 01:03:56.920 Well that's one of my problems too, so I could 1183 01:03:56.920 --> 01:03:57.360 lose one. 1184 01:03:57.960 --> 01:03:58.559 I also have. 1185 01:03:58.760 --> 01:04:01.960 If you can't eat pecans, you need squirrels, norm. 1186 01:04:02.639 --> 01:04:05.199 I have I have. I have an orange tree. This 1187 01:04:05.400 --> 01:04:06.159 turning yellow? 1188 01:04:06.880 --> 01:04:07.119 Is that? 1189 01:04:07.360 --> 01:04:11.360 Is that possibly overwatering? I've tried the osma coat things 1190 01:04:11.400 --> 01:04:13.679 like that, but nothing orangetree. 1191 01:04:14.000 --> 01:04:17.679 When you when you overwater and dam and the roots 1192 01:04:17.719 --> 01:04:20.320 literally are submerged and can't get oxygen, that's hard on 1193 01:04:20.360 --> 01:04:23.519 almost any plant. But drought can also be the same. 1194 01:04:23.559 --> 01:04:26.199 And we've had some hot weather for as late as 1195 01:04:26.239 --> 01:04:28.840 it is, and we've had some real dry weather for 1196 01:04:28.840 --> 01:04:30.840 an extented period of time. And sometimes when we water, 1197 01:04:30.920 --> 01:04:32.960 we think we're giving a good soaking, but we're really not. 1198 01:04:33.960 --> 01:04:36.400 So I would lean more toward maybe a little bit 1199 01:04:36.440 --> 01:04:39.239 of a lack of water or just going from soggy 1200 01:04:39.320 --> 01:04:43.119 to to row wet. Uh. If the yellowing is on 1201 01:04:43.199 --> 01:04:46.679 the newest growth and the older leaves look good, maybe 1202 01:04:46.679 --> 01:04:49.360 you're looking at an iron deficiency. If the yellowing is 1203 01:04:49.440 --> 01:04:53.159 just all over the tree, Uh, it may need maybe 1204 01:04:53.159 --> 01:04:55.639 the water, but it also may need some nitrogen. But 1205 01:04:55.679 --> 01:04:58.280 I tell you I wouldn't fertilize much now because you 1206 01:04:58.280 --> 01:05:00.800 don't want citrus to start growing when we're about to 1207 01:05:00.840 --> 01:05:03.639 have a freeze. That's not a good combination. 1208 01:05:04.840 --> 01:05:06.679 Okay, thank you appreciate this talk. 1209 01:05:06.760 --> 01:05:10.239 All right, all right, Norman, you take care. We're going 1210 01:05:10.320 --> 01:05:13.920 to go now to sugar Land and talk to Nick. Hey, Nick, 1211 01:05:14.000 --> 01:05:15.079 welcome to garden Line. 1212 01:05:16.039 --> 01:05:22.159 Hi. So I have a yard and my kids often 1213 01:05:22.239 --> 01:05:24.400 go out and play in the yard, and I've noticed 1214 01:05:24.440 --> 01:05:27.599 lately that they're picking up a lot of tree cockroaches, 1215 01:05:28.079 --> 01:05:32.280 really like baby or adolescent keep tree cockroaches are all 1216 01:05:32.280 --> 01:05:36.679 over our lawn, and I was wondering if there's a 1217 01:05:36.840 --> 01:05:39.920 safe way of dealing with them, whether it's you know, 1218 01:05:40.000 --> 01:05:44.719 repelling them or killing them, or what's a good way. 1219 01:05:44.559 --> 01:05:46.400 Of dealing with this issue. 1220 01:05:47.559 --> 01:05:50.400 You know, you kind of have a combination of issues. 1221 01:05:50.480 --> 01:05:53.239 That's hard to find a one size fits all answer 1222 01:05:53.280 --> 01:05:55.719 for that. First of all, you know, roaches out in 1223 01:05:55.760 --> 01:05:58.280 the landscape, that's just kind of like part of nature, 1224 01:05:58.280 --> 01:06:00.360 and that you're going to have things like that out there, 1225 01:06:00.360 --> 01:06:03.159 part of the bugs that are out there. And so 1226 01:06:04.400 --> 01:06:07.039 I have that in my landscape, especially in my garden 1227 01:06:07.039 --> 01:06:09.239 where I have a lot of leaves, there's little roaches 1228 01:06:09.280 --> 01:06:11.880 come out of there and I just ignore it because 1229 01:06:11.880 --> 01:06:15.039 I don't want to treat them. But there are insecticides 1230 01:06:15.079 --> 01:06:17.840 that you put down in the soil and they will 1231 01:06:17.920 --> 01:06:22.440 kill insects that come out. Nitrophos has one called bug 1232 01:06:22.440 --> 01:06:25.559 out Max that is sprink It's a granular. You sprinkle 1233 01:06:25.599 --> 01:06:28.719 it out and you water it, and it would be 1234 01:06:28.880 --> 01:06:31.880 probably helpful for that. There are others that you would 1235 01:06:31.880 --> 01:06:34.199 spray down, but then you got kids and dogs and 1236 01:06:34.199 --> 01:06:36.599 stuff rolling around playing in the grass, and so I 1237 01:06:36.639 --> 01:06:40.440 don't know, it's your call on it. I would I 1238 01:06:40.440 --> 01:06:44.079 would probably lean toward just not worrying about it. But 1239 01:06:44.960 --> 01:06:47.039 if you do want to treat, those are those are 1240 01:06:47.039 --> 01:06:47.840 some options. 1241 01:06:49.679 --> 01:06:54.320 Okay, all right, that sounds that sounds good, thank you. 1242 01:06:55.000 --> 01:06:58.000 Yeah. Yeah, there's also I should mention this too, and 1243 01:06:58.039 --> 01:07:00.400 I don't have a name of a product in my head, 1244 01:07:00.679 --> 01:07:03.920 but there's also insect growth regulators that you can put 1245 01:07:03.960 --> 01:07:07.239 out that that's what people do in the yard, like 1246 01:07:07.280 --> 01:07:10.119 with fleas, and that the little critters when they try 1247 01:07:10.159 --> 01:07:12.960 to go from one stage to another, it shuts them 1248 01:07:12.960 --> 01:07:15.400 down and they're not able to do that, so you 1249 01:07:15.480 --> 01:07:16.639 might want to think about that. 1250 01:07:16.920 --> 01:07:23.719 Okay, are those less like? Are those less dangerous? 1251 01:07:24.400 --> 01:07:27.400 Yeah they're not. Yeah, they're not a poison. They just 1252 01:07:27.559 --> 01:07:30.960 they because of insects having to make kite in their shells. 1253 01:07:31.000 --> 01:07:35.079 Outside the insect it stops that. So we don't have kite. Kids, 1254 01:07:35.199 --> 01:07:37.679 dogs don't have kite. It's not an issue that affects 1255 01:07:37.960 --> 01:07:41.400 kids and dogs.

Moss Nursery, Toddville Road 1376 01:13:55.640 --> 01:14:00.159 and Seabrook Moss Nursery dot Com. I'm gonna head out 1377 01:14:00.199 --> 01:14:02.279 now to Brenham and talk to Rooster. 1378 01:14:02.399 --> 01:14:04.760 Hey, Rooster, good morning. 1379 01:14:05.560 --> 01:14:08.079 I've got a problem that's been so dry up here. 1380 01:14:08.199 --> 01:14:12.000 I'm having to put out my soaker hose under my 1381 01:14:12.720 --> 01:14:16.079 two really nice trees oak trees in my front yard 1382 01:14:16.439 --> 01:14:19.560 and in the Saint orgestringe grass keep them off from 1383 01:14:19.600 --> 01:14:20.560 trying to. 1384 01:14:20.479 --> 01:14:21.079 Die on me. 1385 01:14:21.880 --> 01:14:25.000 And every time I do that, there's some barming and 1386 01:14:25.119 --> 01:14:28.239 I think it's the armadella. I'm not sure it comes 1387 01:14:28.279 --> 01:14:31.840 in it and he digs holes everywhere there's six seven 1388 01:14:31.960 --> 01:14:36.600 inches deep, and uh, it's just a real nuisance. I 1389 01:14:36.640 --> 01:14:39.880 was wondering if I think there after the grubs, it's 1390 01:14:39.960 --> 01:14:45.960 in the in the soil under to kill those grubs, 1391 01:14:46.159 --> 01:14:52.439 maybe that would make the it might even be deer also, Uh. 1392 01:14:51.800 --> 01:14:55.079 Okay, well, I don't think killing the grubs. I don't 1393 01:14:55.079 --> 01:14:56.800 think killing the grub is gonna help a lot because 1394 01:14:56.840 --> 01:14:59.640 earthworms they dig earth worms too, and when you start watering, 1395 01:14:59.640 --> 01:15:03.680 the earth worms get interested in coming up. For that, 1396 01:15:04.920 --> 01:15:08.079 it will be helpful to know what the varm it is, 1397 01:15:08.600 --> 01:15:11.760 so other than a wild game camera to sit there 1398 01:15:11.760 --> 01:15:16.640 at night and take pictures of Yeah, if you can 1399 01:15:16.640 --> 01:15:19.319 find out what they are armadilla's, you can trap them 1400 01:15:19.359 --> 01:15:23.720 in live traps. And let's just say it's an armadilla, 1401 01:15:23.760 --> 01:15:27.279 because what you would do is you'd figure out their 1402 01:15:27.319 --> 01:15:29.600 little pathway. They typically well, if you've got like a 1403 01:15:29.640 --> 01:15:32.800 privacy fence or side of the house. They they're bumbling creatures. 1404 01:15:32.800 --> 01:15:34.840 And they tend to kind of bounce along the wall there. 1405 01:15:35.720 --> 01:15:37.760 And you can put a live trap out and put 1406 01:15:37.800 --> 01:15:39.960 two boards coming out like the shape of a V 1407 01:15:40.359 --> 01:15:42.600 out of the entrance to the trap, so you're basically 1408 01:15:43.119 --> 01:15:47.119 hurting them into the trap. Yeah, leads them into it 1409 01:15:47.399 --> 01:15:54.239 if you boil elbow elbow macaroni in beef bo yon uh, 1410 01:15:54.239 --> 01:15:56.239 and then you drop though, don't put too many. You 1411 01:15:56.279 --> 01:15:57.760 don't want them to get full before they get in 1412 01:15:57.800 --> 01:15:59.520 the trap. But you put one here and then one 1413 01:15:59.560 --> 01:16:01.840 little for they're one a little bit further, and then 1414 01:16:01.880 --> 01:16:03.960 put something that lead them right into the trap. You 1415 01:16:04.000 --> 01:16:07.119 can trap an armadella that way. Now, if it's a 1416 01:16:07.560 --> 01:16:09.920 I don't know, maybe possum would go after that too. 1417 01:16:09.960 --> 01:16:12.640 I don't know. But depending on the animal, the approach 1418 01:16:12.720 --> 01:16:14.520 to capture them is gonna be a little different. But 1419 01:16:14.560 --> 01:16:16.960 I think a live trap at night is probably your 1420 01:16:16.960 --> 01:16:17.560 best bet. 1421 01:16:19.840 --> 01:16:22.399 Okay, all right, Well, if you got a moment. 1422 01:16:22.439 --> 01:16:25.840 I got another question I had last week, and you 1423 01:16:25.880 --> 01:16:29.319 told me to send you a picture, And every time 1424 01:16:29.359 --> 01:16:32.359 I do that, I don't know anything about computers and 1425 01:16:32.439 --> 01:16:33.880 I have to get somebody else to do it. So 1426 01:16:33.920 --> 01:16:36.600 I haven't been able to do that. But my box 1427 01:16:36.800 --> 01:16:40.039 was dying, and I know they're not dead. So I 1428 01:16:40.159 --> 01:16:45.359 was asking now if you could suggest somethings long thirty 1429 01:16:45.359 --> 01:16:48.479 foot bed in front of my house that I've had 1430 01:16:48.479 --> 01:16:52.680 those box woods there before. I'm trying try and from 1431 01:16:52.720 --> 01:16:54.159 now I'm going to get something different. 1432 01:16:54.720 --> 01:16:55.640 I'd like some kind of. 1433 01:16:58.680 --> 01:17:02.000 Okay, there are a number of different shrubs depending on 1434 01:17:02.039 --> 01:17:04.720 what kill the box. Would you you probably would be 1435 01:17:04.760 --> 01:17:08.800 okay with a dwarf jopon that's been hedged, they make 1436 01:17:09.000 --> 01:17:11.479 a little plant. If you want something taller than that, 1437 01:17:12.479 --> 01:17:15.399 there are a number of hollies that will will do 1438 01:17:15.479 --> 01:17:17.960 good they get taller than that. How big is big? 1439 01:17:18.000 --> 01:17:23.760 When you say big, i'd say not quite three feet tall. 1440 01:17:25.159 --> 01:17:27.760 I just I don't want to sort of a border 1441 01:17:27.800 --> 01:17:29.840 there that looks nice and in front of the house 1442 01:17:29.880 --> 01:17:32.640 it's a long porch there. Yeah, and it has to 1443 01:17:32.920 --> 01:17:37.399 come up a little bit even like it's something not elephantears, 1444 01:17:37.399 --> 01:17:40.600 but something like that, but that I won't have to 1445 01:17:40.640 --> 01:17:44.760 replace every year because they get frozen. Yeah, I don't 1446 01:17:44.760 --> 01:17:45.520 want to do that. 1447 01:17:45.800 --> 01:17:50.479 Well, I'd go back to dwarf jopon as being a standard. 1448 01:17:50.640 --> 01:17:53.199 You know, you got yopin that run wild out in 1449 01:17:53.239 --> 01:17:55.319 that area, So it's a it's a plant that's very 1450 01:17:55.399 --> 01:17:56.880 adapted to that area. 1451 01:17:57.520 --> 01:17:57.640 Uh. 1452 01:17:57.680 --> 01:17:59.600 The thing with elephant ears, they die on in the 1453 01:17:59.640 --> 01:18:01.880 winter and you got to cut all that mush out 1454 01:18:01.920 --> 01:18:04.000 and then they come back. There's nothing wrong with an 1455 01:18:04.039 --> 01:18:06.279 elephant who they probably get too wide for you too. 1456 01:18:07.119 --> 01:18:10.800 But those would be a few options. Ornamental grasses are 1457 01:18:10.840 --> 01:18:14.119 beautiful if you get one that's not so tall. There 1458 01:18:14.159 --> 01:18:17.720 are some some fountain grasses that are that are dwarfed 1459 01:18:17.760 --> 01:18:19.680 there and others that'd be an option. 1460 01:18:20.279 --> 01:18:23.239 But I think you'll call my best look of. 1461 01:18:24.119 --> 01:18:26.760 The box would but I'm just getting tired of them 1462 01:18:26.840 --> 01:18:27.479 dying on me. 1463 01:18:28.159 --> 01:18:33.479 And okay, then I dwarf. A dwarf you opon is 1464 01:18:33.640 --> 01:18:35.239 probably going to be your best bet. 1465 01:18:36.520 --> 01:18:37.920 Hey, thank you very much. 1466 01:18:37.920 --> 01:18:38.279 I won't. 1467 01:18:38.520 --> 01:18:39.399 I think I'm gonna. 1468 01:18:39.239 --> 01:18:43.159 Try that out, all right, you take care, all right? 1469 01:18:44.119 --> 01:18:46.359 All right?

There's a lot to talk about. There's 1484 01:19:58.119 --> 01:20:00.520 always a lot to talk about. You know, it doesn't 1485 01:20:00.560 --> 01:20:02.840 matter what day of the year it is. There is 1486 01:20:03.039 --> 01:20:06.159 so much more culturally going on that you need to know, 1487 01:20:06.239 --> 01:20:09.720 you need to do, you should do, and we're here 1488 01:20:09.720 --> 01:20:13.119 to help you with those kinds of things.

I don't know, you guys have 1492 01:20:23.279 --> 01:20:25.399 probably known it for a long time. I think it 1493 01:20:25.479 --> 01:20:28.640 opened in nineteen seventy nine by the Williamson family who 1494 01:20:28.720 --> 01:20:32.680 still run it. So that is a history here in 1495 01:20:32.720 --> 01:20:36.039 the Greater Houston area of providing quality plants. That's why 1496 01:20:36.119 --> 01:20:39.920 they have the reputation of the get It, Got It nursery. 1497 01:20:39.960 --> 01:20:42.600 What that means is give them a call. If they 1498 01:20:42.600 --> 01:20:45.319 don't have it and it's out there available, they can 1499 01:20:45.359 --> 01:20:48.039 probably get it and bring it in for you.

You're going 1502 01:20:52.680 --> 01:20:56.279 to find things like Landscaper's Pride, the molt products and 1503 01:20:56.319 --> 01:21:00.000 soil products that they have there. RCW is a great 1504 01:21:00.119 --> 01:21:03.840 source of roses too. You know, of course typically the 1505 01:21:04.079 --> 01:21:07.439 February times when everybody is thinking roses, but now's a 1506 01:21:07.479 --> 01:21:09.800 good time to plant roses. Now's a good time to 1507 01:21:09.840 --> 01:21:13.600 plant trees. And they've got some really really good specials 1508 01:21:13.640 --> 01:21:17.920 going on. Fifteen fifty percent off half price Cajun hibiscus 1509 01:21:18.560 --> 01:21:22.079 that is really really good and that there's not a 1510 01:21:22.079 --> 01:21:25.199 pretty year hibiscus out there, twenty percent off all shrubs, 1511 01:21:25.239 --> 01:21:29.399 and fifteen percent off all trees including citrus. You're thinking 1512 01:21:29.399 --> 01:21:32.319 about having a citrus tree in the landscape, or maybe 1513 01:21:32.319 --> 01:21:34.880 one in a large container, you know, a myer lemma 1514 01:21:35.159 --> 01:21:38.920 or a lime or something like that.

I was up there for their Fall festival. Gosh, 1525 01:22:14.439 --> 01:22:20.239 that was back mid October, and they are continuing to 1526 01:22:20.319 --> 01:22:23.239 have their Fungal Friday Sale. It's still on up there, 1527 01:22:23.279 --> 01:22:27.760 so twenty percent off fungal compost. Fungo compost. That's what 1528 01:22:27.800 --> 01:22:29.720 happens in the woods. You know, when leaves fall on 1529 01:22:29.720 --> 01:22:32.479 the ground in the woods, it's primarily fungi that are 1530 01:22:32.479 --> 01:22:35.960 doing the decomposition in that environment. And a fungo based 1531 01:22:36.000 --> 01:22:40.680 compost is excellent for plants that are broad leaf plants 1532 01:22:40.920 --> 01:22:43.600 like your shrubs and trees and flowers and vegetables and 1533 01:22:43.640 --> 01:22:47.079 herbs and things like that. Fungo composts outstanding. Also if 1534 01:22:47.119 --> 01:22:48.800 you want to use it as a top dressing, it 1535 01:22:48.880 --> 01:22:51.359 works very well. You know, we talk about leaf mold 1536 01:22:51.399 --> 01:22:54.920 compost well, a fungo compost or leaf old compost, get 1537 01:22:54.960 --> 01:22:56.920 them screened down to a good size, and they make 1538 01:22:56.960 --> 01:23:00.880 an excellent top dressing material. Also, all of that is 1539 01:23:01.000 --> 01:23:04.000 up there at Nature's Way Resources. If you go up 1540 01:23:04.039 --> 01:23:08.600 Interstate forty five where fourteen eighty eight comes in from Magnolia, 1541 01:23:08.720 --> 01:23:11.520 you just turn right and go across the railroad tracks 1542 01:23:11.960 --> 01:23:15.680 and you were there at Nature's Way. You need to 1543 01:23:16.439 --> 01:23:18.399 have a vehicle that can hold some stuff. I mean, 1544 01:23:18.439 --> 01:23:20.680 whether it's a pickup or a trailer that you're bringing 1545 01:23:20.720 --> 01:23:23.359 back bulkloads with or just bringing back bags from them. 1546 01:23:23.479 --> 01:23:25.479 By the way. Their bags are also available in local 1547 01:23:25.520 --> 01:23:28.800 garden centers and ace hardware stores, just all kinds of 1548 01:23:28.800 --> 01:23:32.439 places all over the greater Houston area, all part of 1549 01:23:32.560 --> 01:23:35.560 the product line. There at Nature's Way where a lot 1550 01:23:35.640 --> 01:23:38.760 of our best soil products began.

Let's see here We're going to go 1557 01:23:59.319 --> 01:24:02.760 now out to the west side and talk to Joe. Hey, Joe, 1558 01:24:02.840 --> 01:24:03.840 welcome to garden Line. 1559 01:24:05.000 --> 01:24:06.520 How you doing good to hear. 1560 01:24:06.439 --> 01:24:09.119 You, I'm well, yeah, what's up? 1561 01:24:09.640 --> 01:24:12.199 So we have so my problem is I have some 1562 01:24:12.520 --> 01:24:16.159 wild violet in my yard. It's that root that's like 1563 01:24:16.199 --> 01:24:19.159 a carrot that goes underneath it, and I've been trying 1564 01:24:19.199 --> 01:24:21.640 to get rid of it into Santa Augustine. And I 1565 01:24:21.680 --> 01:24:25.479 was wondering if you had a product that would help, 1566 01:24:25.600 --> 01:24:27.159 you know, get rid of that and not hurt the 1567 01:24:27.159 --> 01:24:27.840 Santa Augustine. 1568 01:24:29.159 --> 01:24:33.319 Yeah, products that contain two four D, which is in 1569 01:24:33.439 --> 01:24:37.640 things like Trimac, for example, it's one of the products 1570 01:24:37.680 --> 01:24:41.199 in there, Dicama, Trimac, those things, those are pretty effective 1571 01:24:41.239 --> 01:24:45.000 against it.

So when brown patch those 1599 01:26:08.680 --> 01:26:11.840 big circles up here, when take all root rot tries 1600 01:26:11.880 --> 01:26:15.039 to attack, you've got a grass plant that has got 1601 01:26:15.079 --> 01:26:18.560 the protective fungicide inside of it to prevent that. Now 1602 01:26:18.560 --> 01:26:20.720 you're going to find this at Bearings Hardware, both the 1603 01:26:20.720 --> 01:26:23.840 one on Biscinette and the one in Westtheimer. You're going 1604 01:26:23.880 --> 01:26:25.680 to find it at Lake Hardware, both the one in 1605 01:26:25.760 --> 01:26:28.279 Angleton and the one at Lake Jackson, and of course 1606 01:26:28.319 --> 01:26:33.880 at RCW Nurseries, Nitrofoss Texas three step. Well, I am 1607 01:26:33.920 --> 01:26:37.079 looking at the clock here. I don't have time to 1608 01:26:37.119 --> 01:26:40.039 take another call.

I did 1611 01:26:47.560 --> 01:26:49.439 want to tell you about spring Creek Feed though. Spring 1612 01:26:49.479 --> 01:26:52.640 Creek Feed is up there on FM twenty nine seventy 1613 01:26:52.640 --> 01:26:56.239 eight to Magnolia, just north and east of Tomball.

Good to have you with us. 1629 01:27:43.520 --> 01:27:46.760 We're gonna jump right out there on the phones and 1630 01:27:46.960 --> 01:27:52.079 we'll start. Let's see here, I think we said Darryl 1631 01:27:52.239 --> 01:28:01.199 in Northwest Houston. Welcome to garden Line. Darryl. Hello, hey, Darryl. Yes, 1632 01:28:01.239 --> 01:28:01.640 I'm here. 1633 01:28:02.680 --> 01:28:03.720 I am. 1634 01:28:05.239 --> 01:28:06.600 Perhaps blueberries. 1635 01:28:07.760 --> 01:28:10.239 Wow, I don't even remember the can be honest with you, 1636 01:28:10.319 --> 01:28:12.680 but I have them in pots and I'm curious as 1637 01:28:12.720 --> 01:28:15.319 to how to prune them. 1638 01:28:15.720 --> 01:28:20.039 Okay, so what we do on blue Yeah, late winter 1639 01:28:20.239 --> 01:28:21.720 is the best time to go ahead and prone them. 1640 01:28:21.920 --> 01:28:26.039 You don't have an acre blueberry seat, yeah, so what 1641 01:28:26.119 --> 01:28:29.960 you want to do is a blueberry We call them canes. 1642 01:28:30.079 --> 01:28:33.960 The shoots coming up out of the ground. They should 1643 01:28:34.000 --> 01:28:38.359 live up about five years and then be removed and replaced. 1644 01:28:38.439 --> 01:28:41.039 And that way you have a constant twenty percent of 1645 01:28:41.079 --> 01:28:44.520 the plant being rejuvenated each year. As a blueberry king 1646 01:28:44.520 --> 01:28:46.800 gets really old and it's just been there a long 1647 01:28:46.920 --> 01:28:49.600 time and it's produced several times, it just it loses 1648 01:28:49.720 --> 01:28:52.640 vigor and it isn't as productive and the branch growth 1649 01:28:52.760 --> 01:28:57.319 is real twiggy. And and so after you've had one 1650 01:28:57.520 --> 01:29:01.000 for you know, about four or five years. Uh, just 1651 01:29:01.119 --> 01:29:02.960 look on it and you see some of those old 1652 01:29:03.279 --> 01:29:06.520 growths that are just twiggy and not really productive. Just 1653 01:29:06.520 --> 01:29:08.520 take it out at the base, cut it off at 1654 01:29:08.520 --> 01:29:11.640 the base, and you will continually have new new ones 1655 01:29:11.640 --> 01:29:12.680 coming up and growing. 1656 01:29:13.239 --> 01:29:13.439 Uh. 1657 01:29:13.439 --> 01:29:16.000 And that that's how you do it. 1658 01:29:16.039 --> 01:29:17.600 Sounds good, Like I said that the plant. 1659 01:29:17.640 --> 01:29:19.720 The plants have been in a pot for about a year, 1660 01:29:19.800 --> 01:29:22.399 and I don't they weren't maybe too foot tall at 1661 01:29:22.399 --> 01:29:23.760 the most, so they're not real old. 1662 01:29:25.319 --> 01:29:26.199 Okay, well they're. 1663 01:29:28.520 --> 01:29:29.039 Okay. 1664 01:29:30.159 --> 01:29:32.800 Just I wouldn't need to be anything out just wherever, 1665 01:29:33.000 --> 01:29:37.239 like the branches are crossing each other or something or well. 1666 01:29:37.039 --> 01:29:39.359 I mean, if you have little tiny twiggy stuff as 1667 01:29:39.399 --> 01:29:43.039 you grow blueberries, notice in late winter that the buds 1668 01:29:43.079 --> 01:29:45.199 that are real plump, those are the ones that are 1669 01:29:45.199 --> 01:29:48.159 gonna have blooms, and the ones that aren't plump don't 1670 01:29:48.159 --> 01:29:49.960 have blooms. And you can see on that kind of 1671 01:29:50.479 --> 01:29:55.039 burgundy colored wood that they develops and that that is 1672 01:29:55.199 --> 01:29:58.159 that's fruiting wood. And you kind of learn and then 1673 01:29:58.199 --> 01:30:00.319 from there, if you've got little twiggies that and I 1674 01:30:00.399 --> 01:30:02.479 mount anything, just take them out because they're not doing 1675 01:30:02.520 --> 01:30:04.840 the okay. 1676 01:30:05.439 --> 01:30:09.039 Also, also, I had a it's a red berring peach 1677 01:30:09.520 --> 01:30:12.199 and it's been in the ground for a year. Should 1678 01:30:12.399 --> 01:30:16.720 does it require any top of pruning? Maybe some of 1679 01:30:16.760 --> 01:30:18.800 the lower lowers. 1680 01:30:19.279 --> 01:30:22.920 Well, when we prune a peach, we're going to eat, 1681 01:30:22.960 --> 01:30:27.000 which you can eat red barren fruit. We generally make 1682 01:30:27.039 --> 01:30:30.319 it a big, big open bowl to allow light inside 1683 01:30:30.399 --> 01:30:34.920 so you get more fruiting wood and fruit inside. Otherwise 1684 01:30:35.279 --> 01:30:38.039 a tree, a peach tree, will become an umbrella of 1685 01:30:38.119 --> 01:30:40.319 foliage and fruit on top and it's all dead and 1686 01:30:40.319 --> 01:30:43.520 twiggy inside, So you got to keep that light coming in. Now, 1687 01:30:43.600 --> 01:30:47.720 if you're just looking for a just a flowering tree, 1688 01:30:47.760 --> 01:30:50.119 then you don't have to go through that pruning, uh, 1689 01:30:50.880 --> 01:30:52.920 just kind of thinning them out A little bit is 1690 01:30:52.920 --> 01:30:53.680 all you need to do. 1691 01:30:54.039 --> 01:30:55.479 I will I want to eat. 1692 01:30:57.399 --> 01:31:01.800 Okay, well, there you go. Uh go go to the Aggie, hey, Daryl, 1693 01:31:01.880 --> 01:31:04.960 go to Aggie Horticulture website. Just do a search for it. 1694 01:31:05.399 --> 01:31:08.000 There's a fruit fruit link on it, and there's a 1695 01:31:08.039 --> 01:31:11.239 peach publication and it shows you exactly how to prone 1696 01:31:11.239 --> 01:31:13.239 it better than I can try to describe it over 1697 01:31:13.279 --> 01:31:17.960 the air. Okay, Horticulture, it's free. 1698 01:31:18.880 --> 01:31:22.000 I will do that. Thank you, Thank you. 1699 01:31:23.439 --> 01:31:26.600 Appreciate that. Appreciate that very much. Let's see we're going 1700 01:31:26.680 --> 01:31:30.680 to go out to Vernon in Needville, speaking of peaches. Hey, Vernon, 1701 01:31:30.720 --> 01:31:39.439 welcome to garden Line. Do we have Vernon with us? Still? Okay? Vernon? 1702 01:31:40.439 --> 01:31:43.720 Hey Veron, Hey, welcome to garden Line. This is Skip. 1703 01:31:44.119 --> 01:31:47.000 Yes, sir, Hey, I've got a I got a good 1704 01:31:47.000 --> 01:31:49.279 deal on a couple of brown Turkey figs and a 1705 01:31:49.279 --> 01:31:55.239 couple of Celestie figs and a couple of Florida Pride peaches. 1706 01:31:55.880 --> 01:31:57.239 I've got them in containers. 1707 01:31:57.560 --> 01:31:59.199 Should I go ahead and put them on the ground now? 1708 01:31:59.239 --> 01:32:01.399 And if I do, I need to protect them through 1709 01:32:01.399 --> 01:32:03.319 the any freezes or what do you think? 1710 01:32:04.560 --> 01:32:04.800 Yeah? 1711 01:32:04.840 --> 01:32:07.039 You can you can go ahead and plant them now, 1712 01:32:07.079 --> 01:32:11.760 that's fine. The the the peaches are not going to 1713 01:32:11.800 --> 01:32:14.920 be cold tender. You're fine on those. The figs. You know, 1714 01:32:14.960 --> 01:32:17.359 you get a doozy of a of a cold snap 1715 01:32:17.479 --> 01:32:20.000 this winter and you can get damage to a fig. 1716 01:32:20.560 --> 01:32:22.680 But I would still plan them. Get them in the 1717 01:32:22.720 --> 01:32:26.720 ground and then mulch them, roll well at the base, 1718 01:32:26.760 --> 01:32:28.800 and if we're going to have a freeze, I would 1719 01:32:28.880 --> 01:32:33.880 just mound up soil or or or compost around the base, 1720 01:32:34.720 --> 01:32:37.640 uh to protect that during the freeze. I have also 1721 01:32:37.720 --> 01:32:40.439 seen people put a little cage around them, uh and 1722 01:32:40.479 --> 01:32:42.640 then fill it full of leaves and things, just to 1723 01:32:42.640 --> 01:32:46.319 provide some extra cold protection in there. And again it's 1724 01:32:46.359 --> 01:32:49.359 just because it's a brand new tree and they're a 1725 01:32:49.399 --> 01:32:53.640 little more susceptible to issues, so to do that. 1726 01:32:54.399 --> 01:32:56.159 Yeah, I believe the celesti is a little more cold 1727 01:32:56.239 --> 01:32:59.439 hardy than the other one. But okay, well and get 1728 01:32:59.439 --> 01:33:00.000 them in the ground. 1729 01:33:01.920 --> 01:33:04.359 Yes, well good, have fun with him now.

We're 1811 01:37:35.600 --> 01:37:38.680 going to go now to talk to Jim in Montgomery. Hey, Jim, 1812 01:37:38.720 --> 01:37:39.760 welcome to garden Line. 1813 01:37:40.119 --> 01:37:44.800 Hey, I got some seeds from for the desert rows. 1814 01:37:45.560 --> 01:37:49.039 And it didn't come with instructions. As far as I know, 1815 01:37:49.119 --> 01:37:52.079 they're hardy only in like ten I think I'm in 1816 01:37:52.239 --> 01:37:57.119 nine or eight up here in Montgomery. I was wondering 1817 01:37:57.439 --> 01:38:01.079 when should that plant? What I grow licral greens under 1818 01:38:01.119 --> 01:38:03.760 grow lights in the window in the south part of 1819 01:38:03.800 --> 01:38:07.920 the house. So I got that down pretty good. Can 1820 01:38:08.000 --> 01:38:12.479 I start those seeds now or should I wait till spring? 1821 01:38:14.479 --> 01:38:14.720 Well? 1822 01:38:14.840 --> 01:38:16.560 You can. You can start them now and get them 1823 01:38:16.600 --> 01:38:19.560 going if you've got really really good. 1824 01:38:21.880 --> 01:38:22.039 Light. 1825 01:38:22.399 --> 01:38:27.199 And you know, greens they do best and as much 1826 01:38:27.279 --> 01:38:29.359 light as you can give them, but they'll grow in less. 1827 01:38:29.359 --> 01:38:31.000 But what does it rose? I would want to make 1828 01:38:31.039 --> 01:38:33.800 sure you get that light right down on the plants. 1829 01:38:33.800 --> 01:38:34.840 Get as much. 1830 01:38:36.319 --> 01:38:38.920 Light the lights. And I got like three or four 1831 01:38:39.880 --> 01:38:44.359 led grow lights that I use for the greens, and 1832 01:38:44.680 --> 01:38:47.319 it seems to work fine for that. And they're in 1833 01:38:47.359 --> 01:38:50.399 a window as well, so that they get some natural 1834 01:38:50.520 --> 01:38:54.640 light a little bit well, I mean, you know during 1835 01:38:55.000 --> 01:38:59.439 summer anyway, but this winter, you know, it's a little 1836 01:39:00.000 --> 01:39:02.279 it's not quite as bright, you know. 1837 01:39:03.199 --> 01:39:06.039 Okay, yeah, I understand, But get them as much light 1838 01:39:06.079 --> 01:39:08.399 as you can if sometimes windows are a little bit 1839 01:39:08.399 --> 01:39:11.119 of a cold spot in the house, so they're a 1840 01:39:11.159 --> 01:39:13.359 little heating match you can put down just to kind 1841 01:39:13.359 --> 01:39:15.960 of keep it a little warm on the warm side. Uh, 1842 01:39:16.199 --> 01:39:18.640 that would be better on helping them get going and 1843 01:39:18.680 --> 01:39:22.920 starting from seed. But you want a very gritty, well 1844 01:39:23.520 --> 01:39:25.800 drained mix, like it's got a lot of pearlite and 1845 01:39:25.920 --> 01:39:28.199 sand and grit kinds of things in it, because it 1846 01:39:28.239 --> 01:39:32.880 needs to drain really well. Water them very sparingly, keep 1847 01:39:32.920 --> 01:39:35.840 it slightly moist, but be very careful not to over 1848 01:39:35.920 --> 01:39:39.079 water them, and they'll do it. They'll do well for you. Hey, Jim, 1849 01:39:39.119 --> 01:39:41.840 I got a run for a break here, but good 1850 01:39:41.920 --> 01:39:46.319 luck with your project. I wish don't definitely wish you well. Folks. 1851 01:39:46.359 --> 01:39:47.960 It's time for me to take a little break. I 1852 01:39:47.960 --> 01:39:52.039 want me come back. Let's see goodness sake. Brett and 1853 01:39:52.239 --> 01:39:55.920 Bill and Jason, you'll be our first ones up. Welcome 1854 01:39:55.960 --> 01:40:00.560 back to the garden line. Glad you are listening in today. 1855 01:40:00.680 --> 01:40:03.439 Good to have you with us. For those of you 1856 01:40:03.600 --> 01:40:07.680 who walk to garden organically, well you probably already know 1857 01:40:07.720 --> 01:40:10.640 about microlife, but you need to know about microlife. Microlife 1858 01:40:10.720 --> 01:40:13.319 is a number one selling organic fertilizer throughout the Greater 1859 01:40:13.359 --> 01:40:15.800 House scenario in fact, is sold a way beyond the 1860 01:40:15.840 --> 01:40:21.159 Greater Houston area. They have a product called Microgrow Liquid AF. 1861 01:40:21.399 --> 01:40:24.039 It is of course a liquid product, but it is 1862 01:40:24.239 --> 01:40:29.159 loaded with beneficial microbes, the types of microbes that fight 1863 01:40:29.239 --> 01:40:33.079 disease specifically, so when you put it down, it goes 1864 01:40:33.119 --> 01:40:36.439 down into the root system of the soil, protects roots, 1865 01:40:36.479 --> 01:40:39.920 and actually some of these microbes actually communicate with the 1866 01:40:39.960 --> 01:40:42.640 plant and cause the plant to grow different. Is that 1867 01:40:42.720 --> 01:40:46.199 amazing or what that a microbe would signal a plant 1868 01:40:46.239 --> 01:40:48.039 and cause that plant to grow in a way that 1869 01:40:48.159 --> 01:40:51.399 makes it more difficult for a disease to infect it. 1870 01:40:51.800 --> 01:40:56.479 Micro Grow Liquid AF from Microlife Fertilizers. You can go 1871 01:40:56.479 --> 01:41:00.119 to the website Microlifefertilizer dot com and you can find 1872 01:41:00.319 --> 01:41:02.920 a lot of information there as well as where to 1873 01:41:02.960 --> 01:41:05.439 get it, and it's pretty much available everywhere just about 1874 01:41:05.479 --> 01:41:09.720 everycause microlife products. While you're there, check out the micro 1875 01:41:09.880 --> 01:41:14.279 Grow bio andoculent that is an organic biological inoculent. It 1876 01:41:14.520 --> 01:41:17.159 has even more beneficial microbes in it. It's a dry 1877 01:41:17.199 --> 01:41:19.119 granular you can buy by the bag or bye by 1878 01:41:19.560 --> 01:41:23.600 a large plastic jar container. Use it any kind of 1879 01:41:23.640 --> 01:41:25.880 soil that you're using any kind of plants. I would say, 1880 01:41:25.880 --> 01:41:28.000 with the micro grow bio inoculant, I'll put it on 1881 01:41:28.039 --> 01:41:30.239 the lawn and I would do that this fall and 1882 01:41:30.319 --> 01:41:33.199 water it in and get those microbes working for you. 1883 01:41:34.319 --> 01:41:38.119 Time for me to head out to let's see we 1884 01:41:38.199 --> 01:41:40.359 have a Brett in Richmond, I believe was the next 1885 01:41:40.399 --> 01:41:42.680 one up. Hey Brett, Welcome to garden Line. 1886 01:41:43.880 --> 01:41:46.439 Hey Skip, thank you for taking my call. 1887 01:41:46.680 --> 01:41:47.720 I just had a question. 1888 01:41:48.479 --> 01:41:51.960 My wife and I have a little ranch down in 1889 01:41:52.039 --> 01:41:57.079 Mattagorda County, and you know, of course he always the 1890 01:41:57.119 --> 01:42:00.760 battle down there is the McCartney rose or the wild roseheads, 1891 01:42:01.000 --> 01:42:03.800 and so I kill that with tricle per. But I 1892 01:42:03.840 --> 01:42:07.159 was noticing yesterday while I was in the pasture that 1893 01:42:07.720 --> 01:42:13.560 in the Bermuda field, I've got tons of dewberry vines 1894 01:42:13.600 --> 01:42:17.039 coming up. Is there a way to kill those where 1895 01:42:17.560 --> 01:42:21.359 my grazing cattle will not get poisoned? 1896 01:42:23.439 --> 01:42:27.520 Same same thing. There are tricle peer products once called 1897 01:42:27.560 --> 01:42:31.640 remedy for ag use that are made for a grazeline. 1898 01:42:31.720 --> 01:42:33.560 Just read the label when you go in to buy them. 1899 01:42:33.640 --> 01:42:36.600 Just check the label. But they should be safe to use. 1900 01:42:36.840 --> 01:42:40.319 And the BlackBerry if you'll hit them in the fall 1901 01:42:40.439 --> 01:42:43.239 hit them. Now they're pulling in a lot of sugars 1902 01:42:43.279 --> 01:42:45.720 to go into the dormant season, and you get a 1903 01:42:45.720 --> 01:42:48.159 little bit better killed than you do. Sometimes in spring 1904 01:42:48.199 --> 01:42:50.479 it's like the growth the flow is going the other way, 1905 01:42:50.560 --> 01:42:52.600 you know, out from the roots to push new growth. 1906 01:42:53.560 --> 01:42:55.920 But fall is an excellent time to make that first 1907 01:42:56.000 --> 01:42:58.880 good hit with those products. 1908 01:42:58.880 --> 01:42:59.359 Perfect. 1909 01:42:59.560 --> 01:43:01.039 Perfect, that's what I need to know. 1910 01:43:01.640 --> 01:43:02.960 Thank you, all. 1911 01:43:02.960 --> 01:43:08.479 Right, sir, thank you for the call. Appreciate that. All right, 1912 01:43:08.560 --> 01:43:11.920 let's see here, let's head out now to Brett in 1913 01:43:13.119 --> 01:43:16.319 No excuse me, Bill in Montgomery. Hey, Bill, welcome to 1914 01:43:16.359 --> 01:43:16.880 guarden line. 1915 01:43:18.039 --> 01:43:20.199 Yeah, thanks for taking my call. I had a question. 1916 01:43:20.279 --> 01:43:24.800 I've got to several crt myrtles in the yard. I 1917 01:43:24.800 --> 01:43:28.399 think over the last couple of years the heath cold 1918 01:43:28.479 --> 01:43:32.840 has kind of stressed them a little bit. I typically 1919 01:43:32.880 --> 01:43:36.000 have probably made a mistake over the years when I 1920 01:43:36.079 --> 01:43:41.960 in the winter time go to throw them back, I 1921 01:43:41.960 --> 01:43:46.279 have just sort of locked them off at the top. 1922 01:43:49.000 --> 01:43:53.600 Now I tend seem to have kind of gnarly growth 1923 01:43:53.760 --> 01:43:57.479 at the top. Seems like the in the spring, the 1924 01:43:57.600 --> 01:44:01.000 new growth isn't as healthy as it has been in 1925 01:44:01.039 --> 01:44:06.560 the past. Did a problem to just lop off those 1926 01:44:06.600 --> 01:44:08.760 gnarly formations. 1927 01:44:10.720 --> 01:44:14.239 No, you can do that. It. Crapes are a challenge, 1928 01:44:14.239 --> 01:44:17.439 and everybody overpruns them like you're describing, and you end 1929 01:44:17.479 --> 01:44:21.239 up destroying that beautiful structure of the plant. You can 1930 01:44:22.000 --> 01:44:24.439 knock those off, but what's going to happen is you're 1931 01:44:24.439 --> 01:44:26.359 going to get a whole bunch of sprouts where you 1932 01:44:26.399 --> 01:44:29.119 cut it back. And so if you can follow one 1933 01:44:29.119 --> 01:44:32.399 of those gnarlies that you're describing, follow that that stem 1934 01:44:32.479 --> 01:44:34.960 back to where there's a side branch and cut it 1935 01:44:35.000 --> 01:44:38.039 off just above that, and then when it tries to resprout, 1936 01:44:38.840 --> 01:44:41.159 break off all the sprouts as they're trying to grow 1937 01:44:41.640 --> 01:44:45.079 and let the new growth be more natural. That would 1938 01:44:45.159 --> 01:44:47.399 be the best bet. Now, if if the whole thing 1939 01:44:47.520 --> 01:44:50.079 just looks horrible and there's no side shoots to work with, 1940 01:44:50.680 --> 01:44:53.159 you either have to live with the narlies or you 1941 01:44:53.319 --> 01:44:55.199 cut the whole thing back to the ground and let 1942 01:44:55.239 --> 01:44:57.039 fresh new growth come out. But at this point in 1943 01:44:57.079 --> 01:44:59.239 the season, I would not do that. They don't have 1944 01:44:59.319 --> 01:45:00.560 time to be established. 1945 01:45:01.039 --> 01:45:01.399 Uh. 1946 01:45:01.600 --> 01:45:03.239 We had a freeze couple of years ago that killed 1947 01:45:03.279 --> 01:45:05.640 some crapes to the ground, and people were doing that. 1948 01:45:05.680 --> 01:45:08.439 They were selecting two or three or four branch or 1949 01:45:08.520 --> 01:45:11.279 shoots to come up and cutting all the rest away. Uh, 1950 01:45:11.359 --> 01:45:14.399 you know, in that retri process. 1951 01:45:15.079 --> 01:45:18.800 Okay, one other question regarding them. For myrtle's uh uh 1952 01:45:19.640 --> 01:45:24.960 mine tend to have uh mold or a black mood 1953 01:45:25.079 --> 01:45:30.800 develop on uh the trunk and the limbs. I think 1954 01:45:30.880 --> 01:45:32.640 it's if it's I don't know what is it? Is 1955 01:45:32.680 --> 01:45:35.560 it dormant oil is the best treatment for that? Or 1956 01:45:36.159 --> 01:45:37.800 and when would you applish it? 1957 01:45:39.079 --> 01:45:42.840 That's actually scale most likely if it's can do that. 1958 01:45:42.960 --> 01:45:45.159 There are other insects that can do it on crepes. 1959 01:45:45.600 --> 01:45:48.039 If if you look in the black, what you're going 1960 01:45:48.119 --> 01:45:53.479 to see is little white things in the black, and 1961 01:45:53.560 --> 01:45:58.600 that this scale themselves. Uh and so yeah, at this point, 1962 01:45:58.640 --> 01:46:01.479 you could use a systemic product if you do it 1963 01:46:01.680 --> 01:46:04.199 before long, because the leaves are coming off those things. 1964 01:46:04.560 --> 01:46:08.359 You want the plant to take it up. But systemics 1965 01:46:08.399 --> 01:46:11.279 get in the plant and anything sucking juices out of 1966 01:46:11.279 --> 01:46:14.439 the plant gets that poison out of the plumbing of 1967 01:46:14.479 --> 01:46:17.279 the plant. And so there are a couple of good 1968 01:46:17.319 --> 01:46:20.560 products out there, a couple of ingredients that will do that. 1969 01:46:20.640 --> 01:46:22.079 You just want to be careful if you do that 1970 01:46:22.159 --> 01:46:25.279 right for bloom season, that products are up in the 1971 01:46:25.319 --> 01:46:28.159 plant and then when bees come to the flowers they 1972 01:46:28.199 --> 01:46:30.279 could be exposed to some of those products, and we 1973 01:46:30.279 --> 01:46:31.199 don't we don't need that. 1974 01:46:33.840 --> 01:46:36.199 Okay, well, thanks for your information. 1975 01:46:37.720 --> 01:46:41.079 Yeah you bet, Thanks and good luck with that.

Hello, Less, 2060 01:51:11.319 --> 01:51:12.239 welcome to garden Line. 2061 01:51:13.520 --> 01:51:14.039 Good morning. 2062 01:51:14.079 --> 01:51:14.760 How you doing. 2063 01:51:15.960 --> 01:51:17.840 I'm good, sir. How can I help? 2064 01:51:18.640 --> 01:51:23.039 Okay? I got a couple of questions. BlackBerry we're talking 2065 01:51:23.079 --> 01:51:23.960 about that earlier. 2066 01:51:24.359 --> 01:51:29.560 I've got one that I'm trying to grow and planeted 2067 01:51:29.560 --> 01:51:35.920 it and spring now it's it's starting to take over 2068 01:51:35.960 --> 01:51:36.479 the ground. 2069 01:51:36.680 --> 01:51:37.199 Pruning it. 2070 01:51:37.479 --> 01:51:42.079 Is there any special way I need to look at 2071 01:51:42.079 --> 01:51:42.560 pruning that? 2072 01:51:42.800 --> 01:51:48.760 Or blackberries are on a two year schedule, So this 2073 01:51:48.880 --> 01:51:53.039 spring a shoot grew and it'll go through winter and 2074 01:51:53.119 --> 01:51:56.600 its fruiting year would be next year, and then after 2075 01:51:56.840 --> 01:52:00.640 fruits it tends to eventually die. So once you've harvested 2076 01:52:00.680 --> 01:52:03.439 the fruit, you cut all the fruiting shoots off at 2077 01:52:03.439 --> 01:52:06.159 the ground because you're gonna have new shoots coming up 2078 01:52:06.199 --> 01:52:08.920 from the ground that'll be the next year shoot. So 2079 01:52:08.960 --> 01:52:14.159 there's always two different types of shoots in your BlackBerry patch. 2080 01:52:14.199 --> 01:52:16.680 One is the growing shoots we call those prima canes. 2081 01:52:16.720 --> 01:52:19.960 Prime is in one first year and the second year 2082 01:52:20.000 --> 01:52:24.039 they become flora caanes as in flowering. So it's a 2083 01:52:24.039 --> 01:52:27.199 BlackBerry shoot coming out of the ground only lives. You 2084 01:52:27.279 --> 01:52:30.880 only leave it two years after the fruit happens. Cut 2085 01:52:30.920 --> 01:52:32.640 it out and new ones will be back and you 2086 01:52:32.680 --> 01:52:33.840 have the best looking patch. 2087 01:52:35.000 --> 01:52:37.159 So since this is the first year I planned it, 2088 01:52:37.600 --> 01:52:39.399 pretty much everything that's growing. 2089 01:52:40.880 --> 01:52:44.920 Is yeah, just leave it, no pruning, right, no pruning 2090 01:52:44.960 --> 01:52:47.800 this year, and it'll be kind of probably, you know, 2091 01:52:47.880 --> 01:52:50.319 not real impressive the first year. But next year you'll 2092 01:52:50.319 --> 01:52:55.279 start see some better growth and it just gets stronger. Okay, okay, okay, 2093 01:52:55.600 --> 01:52:59.600 I got to come home more. Okay, let me do 2094 01:52:59.640 --> 01:53:01.920 them real quick, because I got to row row folks 2095 01:53:01.920 --> 01:53:04.000 here waiting, So let's do plant. 2096 01:53:04.399 --> 01:53:07.600 Is this the time to plant free trees? 2097 01:53:09.079 --> 01:53:11.560 Yes, it's an excellent time all the way. Now through 2098 01:53:11.600 --> 01:53:13.439 winter is the best time of the year. You can 2099 01:53:13.439 --> 01:53:15.319 plant them any month of the year, but now's the 2100 01:53:15.319 --> 01:53:15.800 best time. 2101 01:53:16.520 --> 01:53:19.199 And can you grow a fig tree and a pot? 2102 01:53:20.960 --> 01:53:25.000 You can? There are figs that are smaller, uh. You know, 2103 01:53:25.039 --> 01:53:29.800 I'm a variety called miss Figy I think is one 2104 01:53:29.840 --> 01:53:33.880 of those, uh that you can grow them in a pot. 2105 01:53:33.920 --> 01:53:36.560 It's just the kind that want to be real big bushes. 2106 01:53:37.000 --> 01:53:40.239 Unless your pot has some some volume to the soil, 2107 01:53:40.399 --> 01:53:42.079 you're going to have trouble with that. So it was 2108 01:53:42.119 --> 01:53:47.199 a big of a well. I mean, you know people 2109 01:53:47.239 --> 01:53:48.960 that don't have space or they just want to fig 2110 01:53:49.039 --> 01:53:50.880 on the patio. Get you something the size of a 2111 01:53:50.880 --> 01:53:54.319 half whiskey barrel that'll stand up and you know, to 2112 01:53:54.479 --> 01:53:57.680 time whiskey barrel won't uh, And and plant a fig 2113 01:53:57.800 --> 01:54:00.920 in that and get one that's a little more compound size. 2114 01:54:01.199 --> 01:54:06.159 You'll be all right. All right, Thanks, Les, appreciate the 2115 01:54:06.199 --> 01:54:09.079 calls you take care of. We're going to Lisa and Brian.

You can see the healthy vinka in 2121 01:54:19.319 --> 01:54:22.399 the part. I just don't want the healthy part to 2122 01:54:22.439 --> 01:54:24.840 start looking like the other. And then I also have 2123 01:54:24.880 --> 01:54:28.119 a question about the weeds and whether we can use 2124 01:54:28.239 --> 01:54:31.279 a pre emergent and post emergent to keep the weeds 2125 01:54:31.319 --> 01:54:33.600 out of it, out of the venka. 2126 01:54:33.680 --> 01:54:36.439 Okay, So first of all, that picture wasn't taken in 2127 01:54:36.479 --> 01:54:37.560 Brian area, was it. 2128 01:54:38.000 --> 01:54:41.039 No, it's in Hunt Hunt Okay. 2129 01:54:41.600 --> 01:54:43.880 Yeah, Look it looks look more hill country to me. 2130 01:54:44.439 --> 01:54:47.279 So outxactly, you got some higher you got some higher 2131 01:54:47.279 --> 01:54:50.960 pH soils. Uh. And when the pH goes high, you 2132 01:54:51.000 --> 01:54:53.800 start to get iron chlorosis, which is when the yellow 2133 01:54:54.560 --> 01:54:58.159 the new growth shows yellow and the old growth remains green. 2134 01:54:58.840 --> 01:55:03.159 So I would get a helated kelated iron product. I 2135 01:55:03.199 --> 01:55:06.840 would apply it to that area, especially next spring when 2136 01:55:06.920 --> 01:55:08.880 new growth is going to begin. It's going to kind 2137 01:55:08.880 --> 01:55:12.600 of slope right now when it cools off. But akelated iron. 2138 01:55:12.640 --> 01:55:15.880 Make sure you do that, and then blow it off 2139 01:55:15.920 --> 01:55:21.439 those limestone walkways because iron will stain concrete and limestone 2140 01:55:21.560 --> 01:55:25.159 stain at kind of a reddish brown color, a rust color, 2141 01:55:25.520 --> 01:55:27.079 and you don't want to do that, so blow it 2142 01:55:27.079 --> 01:55:29.439 off and then water it all in. What's really the 2143 01:55:29.479 --> 01:55:32.840 problem on your plants though, is the vink of leaf roller. 2144 01:55:33.199 --> 01:55:34.880 And if you go up and look real close, you'll 2145 01:55:34.880 --> 01:55:36.800 see leaves that are folded over. And if you hope 2146 01:55:36.840 --> 01:55:39.359 if you pull them open, there there's webbing holding them 2147 01:55:39.359 --> 01:55:42.760 folded over and inside is either a caterpillar or a 2148 01:55:42.760 --> 01:55:45.720 pupa or there used to be. And so that you 2149 01:55:45.760 --> 01:55:50.039 can control with either products containing bt B as in 2150 01:55:50.119 --> 01:55:54.319 boy tea is in tom or spinosid s p I 2151 01:55:54.800 --> 01:55:59.239 n O s A D. Both are organic. The spinosid 2152 01:55:59.359 --> 01:56:02.640 soaks into the tissue and gives you a little longer control. 2153 01:56:02.680 --> 01:56:04.560 BT only lasts about a day before you have to 2154 01:56:04.560 --> 01:56:07.399 spray it again. Uh, And so I would do the 2155 01:56:07.439 --> 01:56:11.000 spinosid version on those, but pretty much how many sex 2156 01:56:11.039 --> 01:56:13.239 side's going to kill them. But I like the spinosa 2157 01:56:13.279 --> 01:56:15.640 because it soaks in that that leaf tissue and that 2158 01:56:15.640 --> 01:56:17.479 that will shut it down for next year. I wouldn't 2159 01:56:17.479 --> 01:56:19.560 worry about them right now. They're they've kind of done 2160 01:56:19.600 --> 01:56:20.680 with their don't. 2161 01:56:20.520 --> 01:56:26.840 Do anything right now, Wait until the spring. 2162 01:56:24.439 --> 01:56:27.079 New leaves being If you see some new leaves being 2163 01:56:27.119 --> 01:56:30.000 folded over, you can do it now. But it's primarily 2164 01:56:30.000 --> 01:56:32.760 when the spring growth and then you see them more, 2165 01:56:33.119 --> 01:56:35.359 not just in spring. They come a little bit later. 2166 01:56:35.359 --> 01:56:37.399 But the first sign of those little boogers, that's when 2167 01:56:37.399 --> 01:56:38.600 you get the spinosid out. 2168 01:56:38.680 --> 01:56:43.359 Okay, okay, and then can we use barricade or something 2169 01:56:43.439 --> 01:56:45.920 like that as a pre emergent on the vinka like 2170 01:56:46.000 --> 01:56:46.960 you would with the grass. 2171 01:56:46.960 --> 01:56:49.960 You can, yes, and then both emerge. 2172 01:56:52.439 --> 01:56:56.119 What about post emerged or something I can use. 2173 01:56:58.680 --> 01:57:03.520 Yes, grassy weeds. Okay, uh, there are two products. I'll 2174 01:57:03.520 --> 01:57:06.880 tell you what. Go to my website gardening with skip 2175 01:57:07.039 --> 01:57:11.000 dot com. Yeah, and there's a publication that says herbicides 2176 01:57:11.039 --> 01:57:13.600 for the weed wiper. And if you look at those herbicides, 2177 01:57:13.720 --> 01:57:16.359 go down to the grassy weeds and then go across 2178 01:57:16.399 --> 01:57:19.279 to the right. There's two ingredients and then there's a 2179 01:57:19.319 --> 01:57:22.239 list of products that have those two ingredients. Do that 2180 01:57:22.640 --> 01:57:26.039 Having said that, you're talking about the barricade, I would 2181 01:57:26.279 --> 01:57:28.279 I'm not sure that would help a lot. And here's 2182 01:57:28.279 --> 01:57:32.520 why that vinka is so dense. Sunlight isn't hitting the soil. 2183 01:57:32.600 --> 01:57:35.039 And I don't think you're getting weeds seed sprouting. I 2184 01:57:35.079 --> 01:57:37.920 think you're having perenny weeds. I don't know, viudograss or 2185 01:57:37.960 --> 01:57:41.079 something that's coming up in there. So it's probably just 2186 01:57:41.239 --> 01:57:44.159 hitting them after they come up with the products that 2187 01:57:44.159 --> 01:57:45.079 are on my list there. 2188 01:57:45.119 --> 01:57:47.840 Okay, okay, all right, thank you so much. 2189 01:57:47.880 --> 01:57:50.680 All right, Lisa, all right, you bet, thank you. I 2190 01:57:50.720 --> 01:57:54.319 appreciate appreciate your call very very much. You know, D 2191 01:57:54.399 --> 01:57:57.560 and D Feed is up in the Tomball area.

Welcome back to 2225 01:59:53.199 --> 01:59:58.079 garden Line. Those of you in Kingwood, you know you're fortunate. 2226 01:59:58.159 --> 02:00:01.000 You got two great guard centers out there. You've got 2227 02:00:01.399 --> 02:00:04.319 Kingwood Garden Center which is over on Stone Hollow Drive, 2228 02:00:04.840 --> 02:00:07.640 and then you got Warren Southern Gardens North Park Drive, 2229 02:00:07.720 --> 02:00:11.439 and they are still effect. Today is the last no. 2230 02:00:11.600 --> 02:00:14.760 Tomorrow is the last day of the what they call 2231 02:00:14.800 --> 02:00:17.800 the Pansy Party. You can buy a flat of pansies. 2232 02:00:17.800 --> 02:00:22.840 That's four inch pots, eighteen containers, eighteen pansy plants for 2233 02:00:22.920 --> 02:00:25.720 twenty five bucks. Just under twenty five bucks. Now, don't 2234 02:00:25.760 --> 02:00:28.159 forget to grab some fertilizer to keep them blooming. Remember 2235 02:00:28.159 --> 02:00:30.520 I was talking about that before the importance of keeping 2236 02:00:30.560 --> 02:00:34.319 that nutrient going all winter. When you push growth on 2237 02:00:34.640 --> 02:00:39.079 these cool seasoned flowers, that foliage captures sun that helps 2238 02:00:39.079 --> 02:00:41.479 them keep blooming. It takes a lot of carbhydrates to 2239 02:00:41.560 --> 02:00:44.359 produce a flour and then plants it fruit to fruit. 2240 02:00:44.840 --> 02:00:46.680 So you got to keep them growing, keep them going. 2241 02:00:47.199 --> 02:00:50.640 They've got Marilla's bulbs and stock lots of fall veggies. 2242 02:00:50.720 --> 02:00:53.119 You know, I challenge you this year, grow something different. 2243 02:00:53.159 --> 02:00:56.199 You've never grown a vegetable before. Grab a container out 2244 02:00:56.199 --> 02:00:58.760 there at Warren Southern Gardens and then grab use some 2245 02:00:58.880 --> 02:01:01.359 veggies to go in it, some herbs to go in it. 2246 02:01:01.800 --> 02:01:04.600 Still got beautiful moms out there.

You can tell them 2248 02:01:06.920 --> 02:01:08.520 in the store to do that you want to do that, 2249 02:01:08.680 --> 02:01:10.760 or you can go online to the Inga McCall if 2250 02:01:10.800 --> 02:01:13.239 you want to do that. But join the newsletter because 2251 02:01:13.239 --> 02:01:16.800 there are special coupons and offers, especially for example, they're 2252 02:01:16.880 --> 02:01:20.520 monthly lawn care coupons. That's real easy to do, and 2253 02:01:20.600 --> 02:01:22.760 you just want to make sure you're plugged in that 2254 02:01:22.800 --> 02:01:24.720 way so you can stay on top of things and 2255 02:01:24.760 --> 02:01:28.079 get some great deals. Let's go to Lamark and we're 2256 02:01:28.079 --> 02:01:31.479 going to talk to Melanie. Hello, Melanie, Welcome to garden Line. 2257 02:01:32.479 --> 02:01:34.840 Good morning. I have a question. 2258 02:01:35.279 --> 02:01:37.199 My grandmother passed away a. 2259 02:01:37.199 --> 02:01:38.039 Couple months back. 2260 02:01:38.119 --> 02:01:41.119 She lived in South Dakota, and we've been invited. 2261 02:01:42.680 --> 02:01:46.159 H to dig up her garden. 2262 02:01:46.960 --> 02:01:52.159 She has tulips and hyacinths and hollyhawks and daffodils. 2263 02:01:53.319 --> 02:01:58.479 I'm wondering, well I'd be able to transplant them successfully 2264 02:01:58.520 --> 02:01:59.119 down here. 2265 02:02:02.159 --> 02:02:06.199 Well, tulips down here are one shot wonders, meaning you 2266 02:02:06.239 --> 02:02:09.720 plant the bulb, they bloom, and they because of our climate, 2267 02:02:09.800 --> 02:02:12.399 they just aren't able to get all set up to 2268 02:02:12.439 --> 02:02:14.439 do it again the next year, so you kind of 2269 02:02:14.439 --> 02:02:16.039 get a one shot out of them. I don't know 2270 02:02:16.039 --> 02:02:19.319 if that's worth the trouble. You know, there's a lot 2271 02:02:19.319 --> 02:02:20.960 of things that can get in the way of that. 2272 02:02:20.960 --> 02:02:24.159 But if you can get them planted, let's say sometime 2273 02:02:24.279 --> 02:02:27.439 just after Christmas, right around New Year's or a little later, 2274 02:02:27.520 --> 02:02:30.800 even you may get one shot out of those tulips, 2275 02:02:31.439 --> 02:02:34.920 So that would be one thing. What was the other 2276 02:02:35.079 --> 02:02:36.720 two plants you said. 2277 02:02:36.920 --> 02:02:39.720 As the highacins, the daffodils. 2278 02:02:39.079 --> 02:02:40.640 And hollyhawks. 2279 02:02:41.520 --> 02:02:47.640 Hyacinth again one shot wonder daffodils. Depending on the cultivar, 2280 02:02:48.039 --> 02:02:51.600 it may naturalize here or it may decline slowly. We 2281 02:02:51.720 --> 02:02:54.479 have certain types. If you knew the exact names of them, 2282 02:02:55.359 --> 02:02:58.119 then you could check that out. There's a place here 2283 02:02:58.159 --> 02:03:03.920 in Texas called Southern Bulb Company that specializes in things 2284 02:03:04.000 --> 02:03:06.399 that come back year after year after year. They've collected 2285 02:03:06.399 --> 02:03:09.199 these things from old homesteads that are abandoned and whatnot. 2286 02:03:09.279 --> 02:03:12.760 And so if you want some of those kinds of plants, 2287 02:03:13.039 --> 02:03:15.279 I would I would get them from Southern Bulb here 2288 02:03:15.319 --> 02:03:17.880 and some of our local garden centers will carry those two. 2289 02:03:17.880 --> 02:03:21.239 By the way. As far as the hollyhawks, they do 2290 02:03:21.319 --> 02:03:24.800 okay here, but there's a disease called rust that gets 2291 02:03:24.840 --> 02:03:29.079 on them and creates some issues for them. But you 2292 02:03:29.119 --> 02:03:32.319 could give that a try. It Just you know, when 2293 02:03:32.359 --> 02:03:36.159 we go that far away from here to get a plant, 2294 02:03:36.600 --> 02:03:40.199 the chances are less than fifty percent it's gonna like 2295 02:03:40.279 --> 02:03:45.680 it here. Okay, thanks, all right, mil Sorry to be 2296 02:03:45.760 --> 02:03:48.439 the bear of bad news on that, but why don't 2297 02:03:48.479 --> 02:03:52.000 you try one of those and prove me wrong? Maybe 2298 02:03:52.119 --> 02:03:57.560 maybe you maybe you will, all right, Thank you appreciate that. 2299 02:03:59.439 --> 02:04:02.319 Talked about microlife fertilizers a little bit earlier that micro 2300 02:04:02.399 --> 02:04:07.319 grow liquid AF. Microgrow liquid AF is the fertilizer, a 2301 02:04:07.359 --> 02:04:10.960 liquid that is loaded with some in fact, about eight 2302 02:04:11.159 --> 02:04:15.359 extremely dominating beneficial microbes that live in the soils. Some 2303 02:04:15.439 --> 02:04:18.760 of me can exist on the leaves for a little bit, 2304 02:04:19.399 --> 02:04:23.920 helping make that an inhospitable place for diseases to attack. 2305 02:04:24.319 --> 02:04:28.079 That's how beneficial microbes work for our plants. They also 2306 02:04:28.119 --> 02:04:32.880 have a different product, not liquid AF, but microbioanoculant that's 2307 02:04:32.880 --> 02:04:35.199 a granular. You can buy it in bags to put 2308 02:04:35.239 --> 02:04:37.720 on your lawn, you can brighten containers to put around 2309 02:04:38.039 --> 02:04:40.359 all kinds of other plants, and it has sixty three 2310 02:04:40.479 --> 02:04:45.840 different of those same kinds of microbes.

Now I bought two three 2326 02:05:56.880 --> 02:06:02.800 gallon pots of foxtail firm. How do I separate them? 2327 02:06:02.880 --> 02:06:06.479 Do I take a knife and cut those roots? Or 2328 02:06:06.560 --> 02:06:11.239 do I just take fingers and work the roots apart 2329 02:06:11.880 --> 02:06:13.479 to plant to well you'll. 2330 02:06:13.279 --> 02:06:19.439 Wear Yeah, you'll wear your fingers out doing that. Thing 2331 02:06:19.479 --> 02:06:22.680 for the plant is to just plant the whole plant 2332 02:06:22.680 --> 02:06:24.520 in the ground. But I have taken them before. If 2333 02:06:24.560 --> 02:06:27.000 you get a good butcher knife kind of thing, kind 2334 02:06:27.000 --> 02:06:28.880 of break them apart and then pull on them a 2335 02:06:28.920 --> 02:06:30.720 little bit, and then cut and pull a little bit 2336 02:06:30.800 --> 02:06:33.520 and you can separate them out and they'll they'll do fine. 2337 02:06:33.960 --> 02:06:36.680 You just have to get a good stem connected to 2338 02:06:36.720 --> 02:06:40.800 some roots and some of those underground swollen structures that 2339 02:06:40.840 --> 02:06:42.720 are important to get with the plant. But yeah, you 2340 02:06:42.760 --> 02:06:43.560 can separate them. 2341 02:06:44.239 --> 02:06:48.680 Okay, they kind of swell. 2342 02:06:49.760 --> 02:06:50.079 After. 2343 02:06:52.439 --> 02:06:54.760 Yeah, it's kind of like a little water holding type structure. 2344 02:06:54.800 --> 02:06:58.159 It looks like a little potato underground but almost translucent. 2345 02:06:58.319 --> 02:06:59.479 Okay, I did. 2346 02:06:59.359 --> 02:07:02.760 Not anyway anyway. Yeah, just divide them in half and 2347 02:07:02.960 --> 02:07:03.800 you'll do fine. 2348 02:07:04.399 --> 02:07:05.279 We're all right. 2349 02:07:05.600 --> 02:07:08.640 Good luck with those.

Don't worry about if you kill plants. 2365 02:07:56.079 --> 02:07:58.560 If you kill plants, that just means you're becoming a 2366 02:07:58.560 --> 02:08:01.600 better and better gardener because we all kill a lot 2367 02:08:01.600 --> 02:08:03.359 of plants in our life. That's part of the way 2368 02:08:03.359 --> 02:08:06.479 we learn. Sometimes tough for the plants, but it's part 2369 02:08:06.479 --> 02:08:08.479 of the way. The part of the way we learn. 2370 02:08:09.199 --> 02:08:11.720 We're going to go to Baytown now and talk to Alan. Hey, Alan, 2371 02:08:11.800 --> 02:08:12.920 welcome to garden Line. 2372 02:08:13.720 --> 02:08:14.159 Good boy. 2373 02:08:14.800 --> 02:08:18.960 I have a quick question, pardon my boys. Four lots 2374 02:08:18.960 --> 02:08:21.199 of spreads. I had to buy a new one, and 2375 02:08:21.239 --> 02:08:22.119 it's a. 2376 02:08:21.880 --> 02:08:25.680 Well known brand, but it's not listed on any of 2377 02:08:25.680 --> 02:08:29.319 the bags of nitro falls ye by, So I'm curious 2378 02:08:29.840 --> 02:08:31.079 where I'm setting that dial. 2379 02:08:31.359 --> 02:08:34.199 It's minus in zero, just fifteen. 2380 02:08:35.159 --> 02:08:38.079 All right, zero and fifteen. So general rule of thumb 2381 02:08:38.199 --> 02:08:40.640 for people with a fertilizer spreader and they don't know 2382 02:08:40.680 --> 02:08:43.439 where to put it, your best guess is to do 2383 02:08:43.600 --> 02:08:46.720 a notch or two above half. So for fifteen, if 2384 02:08:46.720 --> 02:08:49.079 you put it on eight, that should be about right. 2385 02:08:50.720 --> 02:08:55.319 I've been doing it eight or nine yeah, what else 2386 02:08:55.760 --> 02:09:00.319 will do? Yeah, getting getting to know this reader a 2387 02:09:00.359 --> 02:09:04.760 little bit better and you'll you'll adjust that. But here's 2388 02:09:04.800 --> 02:09:07.880 the thing. It doesn't hurt to underspread. You don't want 2389 02:09:07.880 --> 02:09:09.920 to overspread. Like if you put a bag of fertilizer 2390 02:09:09.920 --> 02:09:11.960 in your thing and and you're spreading it and you 2391 02:09:11.960 --> 02:09:14.079 get halfway across the yard and it should have covered 2392 02:09:14.079 --> 02:09:16.239 the whole thing and you've already run out, Well that's 2393 02:09:16.239 --> 02:09:19.800 a problem. So if you underspread, you can always go 2394 02:09:19.920 --> 02:09:23.520 back sideways or crossways. In fact, I like to put 2395 02:09:23.560 --> 02:09:26.479 about half of it out like north south and half 2396 02:09:26.520 --> 02:09:29.039 of it out east west, and that way you get 2397 02:09:29.039 --> 02:09:31.800 a nice even blend and everything looks good. So that's 2398 02:09:31.840 --> 02:09:32.319 just a tip. 2399 02:09:33.640 --> 02:09:34.920 Okay, that's what I normally do. 2400 02:09:34.960 --> 02:09:37.039 It's how I'm molograss too anyway. 2401 02:09:37.960 --> 02:09:41.319 So yeah, there you go. There you go. Good luck 2402 02:09:41.319 --> 02:09:45.399 with that. Thank you, sir, Congratulations on your new spreader. 2403 02:09:45.439 --> 02:09:48.600 You bet by bye. It's not of a fertilizer. It's 2404 02:09:48.880 --> 02:09:52.079 speaking of fertilizers and spreading and really spreading any of 2405 02:09:52.119 --> 02:09:54.520 the products you hear me talk about, whether it's stuff 2406 02:09:54.560 --> 02:09:57.920 like barricade to prevent you know, weeds from sprouting or 2407 02:09:57.960 --> 02:10:02.239 putting out a product like Eagle to prevent diseases and stuff. Well, Southwest, 2408 02:10:02.239 --> 02:10:04.600 first of all, they carry all those products. They also 2409 02:10:04.640 --> 02:10:07.479 have fertilizer spreaders and they also have the little handheld 2410 02:10:07.479 --> 02:10:09.760 spreaders you crank. I use those for putting out fire 2411 02:10:09.800 --> 02:10:12.680 at bait oh and Southwest has firet bait. In fact, 2412 02:10:12.760 --> 02:10:15.840 let me make this easy. If they don't have it, 2413 02:10:15.880 --> 02:10:18.960 you don't need it. They have everything you need at 2414 02:10:18.960 --> 02:10:22.479 Southwest Fertilizer.

They sell 2422 02:10:45.319 --> 02:10:47.479 the little grabber tool that you used to make a 2423 02:10:47.479 --> 02:10:49.840 weed wiper. It's a really cool too.

We are now going 2441 02:11:38.760 --> 02:11:41.479 to go out to talk to one in Cyprus. Hey one, 2442 02:11:41.520 --> 02:11:42.520 welcome to garden Line. 2443 02:11:43.560 --> 02:11:46.800 Hey guys, how are y'all doing? Yeah, we love Southwest Fertilizer. 2444 02:11:46.840 --> 02:11:51.159 By the way, anyways, I have this oleander that I 2445 02:11:51.279 --> 02:11:53.920 just realized. My wife told me that I guess it's 2446 02:11:53.960 --> 02:11:56.520 poisonous and kind of I guess. We have little kids 2447 02:11:56.560 --> 02:11:59.319 and dogs I'm not sure if it's which is kind 2448 02:11:59.359 --> 02:12:01.439 of gets one of replace it with something else. 2449 02:12:02.960 --> 02:12:07.039 Okay, Well, oleander's an evergreen shrub, so I guess you're 2450 02:12:07.079 --> 02:12:09.680 looking for kind of an evergreen shrub. Does it need 2451 02:12:09.720 --> 02:12:12.319 to be a certain height or what? 2452 02:12:13.680 --> 02:12:16.479 It's right next to the wind somewhere out right next 2453 02:12:16.479 --> 02:12:18.239 to the windows and kind of by the door, so 2454 02:12:18.399 --> 02:12:22.000 maybe maybe four to five feet. 2455 02:12:22.079 --> 02:12:26.960 Okay, in decent It takes decent sunlight to grow a 2456 02:12:27.000 --> 02:12:30.359 good dense shrub, and I assume if oleander was there, 2457 02:12:30.399 --> 02:12:32.279 it must be getting some sun, right. 2458 02:12:32.560 --> 02:12:36.039 Yeah, it is facing southeast, we get the morning all 2459 02:12:36.199 --> 02:12:39.800 morning sun. In the afternoon, well yeah, kind of in yeah, 2460 02:12:39.880 --> 02:12:41.960 the morning sun, so it does get a lot of light. 2461 02:12:43.359 --> 02:12:45.520 Okay, Well, there's a lot of good options. There are 2462 02:12:45.560 --> 02:12:51.520 some dwarf types of Chinese witch hazel. Chinese witch hazel, 2463 02:12:52.039 --> 02:12:56.319 the new growth comes out burgundy, especially in cooler temperatures, 2464 02:12:56.359 --> 02:12:59.600 and in spring they produce these hot, pink, shaggy blooms 2465 02:12:59.640 --> 02:13:02.119 that are really pretty. Now, some of the Chinese witch 2466 02:13:02.119 --> 02:13:04.720 hazel can get huge, and you don't want to have 2467 02:13:04.760 --> 02:13:07.079 to be printing them all the time to keep them small. 2468 02:13:07.199 --> 02:13:10.520 So when you go shopping for one. You're up in 2469 02:13:10.560 --> 02:13:13.039 the Cypress area, you know, you can head up to 2470 02:13:14.880 --> 02:13:18.800 Arbrigade or over to Plants Rail Seasons. Both those places 2471 02:13:18.800 --> 02:13:21.239 are going to carry these shrubs. Get one that's a 2472 02:13:21.239 --> 02:13:24.039 little more dwarf and you can look on there. There 2473 02:13:24.039 --> 02:13:26.319 are several that'll be in the four foot range. Could 2474 02:13:26.319 --> 02:13:28.680 be kept a little smaller if you had to. But 2475 02:13:28.840 --> 02:13:31.479 I think it's a pretty shrub, and so I would 2476 02:13:31.479 --> 02:13:33.840 try that one. It likes a little bit of an 2477 02:13:33.880 --> 02:13:35.960 acidic soil, so if you can put a lot of 2478 02:13:36.000 --> 02:13:38.960 compost and a little bit of sulfur down in the 2479 02:13:38.960 --> 02:13:41.600 soil to lower the pH it does even better. Or 2480 02:13:41.640 --> 02:13:43.840 you can just add keylated lime to it if you 2481 02:13:43.880 --> 02:13:46.760 start to see yellowing new growth. But it is a 2482 02:13:46.760 --> 02:13:47.760 pretty shrub. 2483 02:13:49.399 --> 02:13:49.880 All right. 2484 02:13:49.920 --> 02:13:50.560 That sounds good. 2485 02:13:50.560 --> 02:13:54.039 I appreciate it. Yeah, And when you're up at either 2486 02:13:54.039 --> 02:13:56.880 of those garden centers, they know so much about everything, 2487 02:13:57.199 --> 02:13:59.760 they probably have five or six different shrubs. They would 2488 02:13:59.760 --> 02:14:02.680 tell you, hey, consider this one too while you're up there. 2489 02:14:03.600 --> 02:14:05.279 Good luck with that one. 2490 02:14:05.359 --> 02:14:06.359 Thank you so much, all. 2491 02:14:06.319 --> 02:14:11.479 Right, take care you bye. Appreciate your call. By by h, 2492 02:14:11.760 --> 02:14:15.880 we wanna we want to go to Memorial now and 2493 02:14:15.920 --> 02:14:18.520 talk to Chad. Hey, Chad, welcome to guarden Line. 2494 02:14:19.000 --> 02:14:19.239 Gay. 2495 02:14:19.319 --> 02:14:22.319 Thank you for having me. And you mentioned earlier killing 2496 02:14:22.359 --> 02:14:24.720 plants you learned, So here we are. But uh, I 2497 02:14:24.840 --> 02:14:27.319 got a question for you. We wrote back on buffalo 2498 02:14:27.359 --> 02:14:31.439 value in the Memorial area and have a uh. We 2499 02:14:31.520 --> 02:14:34.199 have eagleson hollies and southern wax myrtles aligning the fence 2500 02:14:34.239 --> 02:14:37.199 lines in the back for privacy hedges. And I had 2501 02:14:37.199 --> 02:14:40.640 about a twenty foot section of scents that was was 2502 02:14:40.720 --> 02:14:42.840 partial shade that we came in the last spring. I 2503 02:14:42.880 --> 02:14:45.000 did a bunch of Japanese used. They were thirty gallon 2504 02:14:45.079 --> 02:14:48.560 Japanese used. The reason we went with them is they 2505 02:14:48.600 --> 02:14:50.800 weren't getting full sun in that area at the time, 2506 02:14:50.960 --> 02:14:53.479 and we thought they could. You know, it's partial son. 2507 02:14:53.520 --> 02:14:55.600 They were getting some but not not full on like 2508 02:14:55.640 --> 02:14:59.439 the rest of the backyard. Anyway, during the storm the 2509 02:14:59.520 --> 02:15:03.319 hurricane we lost lost a huge retto that was shading 2510 02:15:03.600 --> 02:15:07.319 providing partial shade to these us And ever since then, 2511 02:15:07.680 --> 02:15:09.960 starting about I guess about forty five days ago, I'm 2512 02:15:10.000 --> 02:15:12.840 starting to get these brown stalks on the US and 2513 02:15:12.920 --> 02:15:17.119 they're dying back and I'm just I'm perplexed. I don't 2514 02:15:17.119 --> 02:15:18.840 know if I'm underwatering them. I don't know if I'm 2515 02:15:18.880 --> 02:15:20.960 overwater them. I don't think i'm overwater them. I don't 2516 02:15:21.000 --> 02:15:23.119 know if it's just too much sun coming in there now. 2517 02:15:24.159 --> 02:15:26.000 But these are thirty gallon used, and there was a 2518 02:15:26.039 --> 02:15:27.920 little bit of an investment here, and I'm just trying 2519 02:15:27.920 --> 02:15:30.439 to decide if I need a kind of maybe these 2520 02:15:30.520 --> 02:15:32.439 or if I just working out coming in with something 2521 02:15:32.600 --> 02:15:33.159 something else. 2522 02:15:33.319 --> 02:15:36.800 So yeah, Japanese use can take the sun now. A 2523 02:15:36.880 --> 02:15:39.720 supply change with any plant catches them off guard. But 2524 02:15:39.960 --> 02:15:43.119 the branch is turning brown is not a sun symptom. 2525 02:15:43.359 --> 02:15:45.880 The only thing sun is doing is it's making the 2526 02:15:45.920 --> 02:15:49.079 water use go way way up on those plates compared 2527 02:15:49.119 --> 02:15:52.079 to partial shade. So it could be a lack of water. 2528 02:15:52.279 --> 02:15:54.880 We have had an extended period of dry and most 2529 02:15:54.920 --> 02:15:58.960 of the listening area here, and I would lean toward that. 2530 02:15:59.359 --> 02:16:01.399 If you get a little hand trowel and go out 2531 02:16:01.399 --> 02:16:03.479 about a foot or so from the plant and dig 2532 02:16:03.560 --> 02:16:06.840 down about four to six inches and feel the soil 2533 02:16:07.479 --> 02:16:09.800 moist soil, you know you can feel what moist is. 2534 02:16:10.159 --> 02:16:12.600 I mean if if you squeeze soil and water drips out, 2535 02:16:12.640 --> 02:16:15.680 that's too wet. And if you if you can tell 2536 02:16:15.720 --> 02:16:18.119 by you're just feeling it if it's not moist or not. 2537 02:16:18.680 --> 02:16:21.800 I my guess is you need to give a good 2538 02:16:22.000 --> 02:16:26.840 soaking when you water a better more volume gradually applied 2539 02:16:27.479 --> 02:16:29.960 to solve the soil deeply, and you don't have the 2540 02:16:30.000 --> 02:16:33.360 water as often. But you don't want to water shallowly 2541 02:16:34.040 --> 02:16:37.399 and and where the root system develops real shallow because 2542 02:16:37.399 --> 02:16:40.200 that's much more erratic in terms of performance. 2543 02:16:40.920 --> 02:16:42.959 Yeah, I think what happened here is I got in 2544 02:16:43.079 --> 02:16:45.719 August when this drought was settling in. I got a 2545 02:16:45.760 --> 02:16:47.719 little behind schedule, and I've been trying to catch up 2546 02:16:47.920 --> 02:16:49.200 what I've learned about these uses. 2547 02:16:49.200 --> 02:16:50.719 Once they start going brown, there's. 2548 02:16:50.559 --> 02:16:54.559 Really no recovery hard. 2549 02:16:53.920 --> 02:16:56.799 So we'll get Yeah, give them those good soakings, I 2550 02:16:56.840 --> 02:16:59.280 think probably my guess. I mean, of course I'm having 2551 02:16:59.280 --> 02:17:01.520 to guess, but lack of water, I think is probably 2552 02:17:01.520 --> 02:17:04.520 what you're you're looking at. And also follow a branch 2553 02:17:04.639 --> 02:17:09.479 that's brown downward until it attaches to something that has 2554 02:17:09.520 --> 02:17:14.040 green leaf, in other words, that's alive. And just see 2555 02:17:14.040 --> 02:17:16.600 if you see any splits in the bark along there, 2556 02:17:16.680 --> 02:17:18.879 if you've see any holes in the bark like something 2557 02:17:18.959 --> 02:17:23.280 drilled in, or look for those splits could be due 2558 02:17:23.319 --> 02:17:26.120 to cold, they could be due to a canker. But 2559 02:17:26.280 --> 02:17:29.760 prune all the dead out just in case a canker 2560 02:17:29.799 --> 02:17:32.760 were involved, cut it back to where it joins a 2561 02:17:32.879 --> 02:17:36.719 living stem, and then in between cuts, spray spray your 2562 02:17:36.760 --> 02:17:39.879 pruners with lysol just in case, like there were a 2563 02:17:39.920 --> 02:17:42.719 bacteria or something that's on it. You don't want to 2564 02:17:42.760 --> 02:17:45.040 spread it with new wounds that you're going to make, 2565 02:17:45.200 --> 02:17:49.680 So just disinfect between cuts. We're being extra cautious in 2566 02:17:49.760 --> 02:17:51.840 case a canker disease were involved. 2567 02:17:51.879 --> 02:17:53.239 Gotcha, gotcha? All right? 2568 02:17:53.280 --> 02:17:54.680 I appreciate your time, appreciate you buyes. 2569 02:17:54.680 --> 02:17:55.319 Thank you very much. 2570 02:17:55.399 --> 02:17:58.559 All right, you bet, thanks for the call. You take care, 2571 02:17:58.639 --> 02:17:59.360 appreciate that. 2572 02:18:01.319 --> 02:18:01.479 You know. 2573 02:18:01.559 --> 02:18:03.479 I love birds. I talk about birds all the time 2574 02:18:03.520 --> 02:18:06.600 in my landscape, and now is the time to be 2575 02:18:06.719 --> 02:18:09.959 taking care of the birds for the winter season coming up. 2576 02:18:10.719 --> 02:18:14.239 You know, as the days get shorter, and isn't you know, 2577 02:18:14.319 --> 02:18:17.879 get weather gets colder, birds need fuel and they have 2578 02:18:18.040 --> 02:18:20.559 less time out there to fly around looking for food. 2579 02:18:21.000 --> 02:18:23.680 So a good feeder that is stocked up with wild birds, 2580 02:18:23.760 --> 02:18:26.719 unlimited super blend, it's a winter super blend. I know 2581 02:18:26.840 --> 02:18:29.639 it's not winter but it's time to use the winter 2582 02:18:29.719 --> 02:18:33.520 super blend. It's packed with fat and protein. And always 2583 02:18:33.559 --> 02:18:36.639 remember these dry conditions. I was just visiting about there 2584 02:18:36.680 --> 02:18:40.200 which had birds need water every day. I mean it 2585 02:18:40.200 --> 02:18:42.719 could be zero degrees outside in the winter, they got 2586 02:18:42.760 --> 02:18:45.239 to drink that day, so they got to have water 2587 02:18:45.319 --> 02:18:48.040 every day of the year. Keep a reliable water source, 2588 02:18:48.120 --> 02:18:50.319 especially with this drought we've been having. If you want 2589 02:18:50.360 --> 02:18:53.479 to keep one of your humming bird feeders up, maybe 2590 02:18:53.520 --> 02:18:56.040 just one, a small one through the holidays, you may 2591 02:18:56.079 --> 02:18:58.959 find a wintering roofous hummingbirds sticking around. Some of them, 2592 02:18:59.000 --> 02:19:01.239 you know, head onto Mexico go, but a lot of 2593 02:19:01.280 --> 02:19:03.280 them kind of hit our way along the Gulf coast 2594 02:19:03.280 --> 02:19:07.040 and hang out here. Wildbird's Unlimited is the place to go. 2595 02:19:07.319 --> 02:19:09.719 By the way, next weekend, I'm going to be in 2596 02:19:09.920 --> 02:19:12.680 Kingwood at the wild Birds Store there. I'll tell you 2597 02:19:12.719 --> 02:19:15.719 more about that tomorrow. But anyone out at Kingwood, if 2598 02:19:15.719 --> 02:19:17.559 you've never been to a wild Birds store, come out 2599 02:19:17.559 --> 02:19:20.840 and see me out there too. By the way, wildbirds 2600 02:19:21.639 --> 02:19:28.040 feed feeders, houses, quality bird seed, everything you need, and 2601 02:19:28.319 --> 02:19:34.959 oh most importantly, perhaps is really good advice from wildbirds. Well, 2602 02:19:35.000 --> 02:19:38.879 it looks like I am seeing another break approaching here. Wow, 2603 02:19:38.920 --> 02:19:42.280 that went kind of fast. I want to mention the 2604 02:19:42.319 --> 02:19:46.319 folks at Nelson Water Gardens. If you are out in 2605 02:19:46.399 --> 02:19:52.120 the West Houston area, this is your i'll say hometown, hometown, 2606 02:19:52.559 --> 02:19:56.079 West Houston garden center. It's really a destination place. You 2607 02:19:56.079 --> 02:19:57.799 go to Nelson Water Gardens. Of course you're going to 2608 02:19:57.840 --> 02:20:02.440 find things like water gardening plants and fish for water gardens, 2609 02:20:02.639 --> 02:20:06.479 and the water gardens themselves and the beautiful, disappearing fountains 2610 02:20:06.520 --> 02:20:10.159 where the water spills over this tall, tall vase looking 2611 02:20:10.200 --> 02:20:13.000 structure in the land. Oh, those are so gargeous. The 2612 02:20:13.079 --> 02:20:16.360 sound of water is therapy and you need something like 2613 02:20:16.399 --> 02:20:19.680 that for your backyard, and Nelson Watergardens has it. Nelson 2614 02:20:19.840 --> 02:20:23.319 Nursery and water Gardens actually, because they are loaded with 2615 02:20:23.520 --> 02:20:26.520 lots of quality plants. Whatever the plants for the season are, 2616 02:20:26.799 --> 02:20:29.159 you're going to find them and more, that and more 2617 02:20:29.360 --> 02:20:33.079 at Nelson Water Gardens. Got to I tend to Katie 2618 02:20:33.159 --> 02:20:35.639 turned north on Katie Fort Ben Road and they'll just 2619 02:20:35.760 --> 02:20:38.000 be just a little bit down the road there on 2620 02:20:38.040 --> 02:20:43.520 the right hand side. Nelson Watergardens dot com. Nelson Watergardens 2621 02:20:43.559 --> 02:20:45.840 dot com. Go check out their website, follow them on 2622 02:20:45.840 --> 02:20:48.959 social media. It's a really cool place. All right, folks, 2623 02:20:49.600 --> 02:20:52.520 I'll be right back. Welcome back to garden Line, folks. 2624 02:20:52.680 --> 02:20:55.600 It is good to have you with us. We still 2625 02:20:55.639 --> 02:21:00.559 got stuff to talk about, stuff to talk about. How 2626 02:21:00.559 --> 02:21:03.799 do we hope you have success? Earlier I was talking 2627 02:21:03.799 --> 02:21:07.200 to some folks about planting fruit trees a couple different calls, 2628 02:21:07.600 --> 02:21:12.120 and I mentioned something called chilling hours. Chilling hours are 2629 02:21:12.360 --> 02:21:16.000 an important thing that you need to be aware of 2630 02:21:16.719 --> 02:21:22.159 when you're doing any kind of gardening with fruit trees. 2631 02:21:23.319 --> 02:21:26.520 All right, so let me explain chilling hours. Basically, a 2632 02:21:26.600 --> 02:21:31.719 chilling hour is an hour spent at a temperature around 2633 02:21:32.079 --> 02:21:35.159 forty to forty five degrees in the wintertime, of course, 2634 02:21:36.040 --> 02:21:38.799 and what happens is your fruit trees go dormant and 2635 02:21:38.920 --> 02:21:41.799 the leaves fall off and the fruit buds are already there. 2636 02:21:41.840 --> 02:21:45.559 They formed in late summer and fall early fall, and 2637 02:21:45.760 --> 02:21:48.680 so they're on the trees. Now, those buds don't just 2638 02:21:48.719 --> 02:21:52.559 start growing because they have an inhibitor in them. And 2639 02:21:52.559 --> 02:21:56.319 when temperatures are around forty to forty five degrees, that's 2640 02:21:56.360 --> 02:21:59.040 when you get the most chilling hours. Colder, a little 2641 02:21:59.079 --> 02:22:02.760 bit warm, a little bit but not much, but that's 2642 02:22:02.760 --> 02:22:07.079 the sweet spot our spent at that time. It's breaking 2643 02:22:07.120 --> 02:22:09.959 down those inhibitors so that when we get warm weather 2644 02:22:10.799 --> 02:22:13.159 then the buds burst forth and grow. So if you 2645 02:22:13.200 --> 02:22:15.840 have a tree that's low chilling, like let's says that's 2646 02:22:15.840 --> 02:22:18.239 two hundred hours, and you live in an area that 2647 02:22:18.319 --> 02:22:21.520 gets five hundred hours or six hundred hours, well it's 2648 02:22:21.559 --> 02:22:24.479 going to have achieved that two hundred hours chilling requirement 2649 02:22:25.040 --> 02:22:28.520 way before spring. So the first warm days in January 2650 02:22:28.600 --> 02:22:31.600 or February, it's busting out in blooming and we may 2651 02:22:31.639 --> 02:22:34.319 still have another freeze left. On the other hand, if 2652 02:22:34.360 --> 02:22:37.120 you have a variety that needs six hundred hours and 2653 02:22:37.120 --> 02:22:40.280 you only get two hundred, well here comes spring. It 2654 02:22:40.360 --> 02:22:42.840 warms up and everything else is growing, but this thing 2655 02:22:42.879 --> 02:22:45.079 is still inhibited. It's still going wait, wait, wait, I'm 2656 02:22:45.079 --> 02:22:47.840 not done with getting my chilling hours. And it sputters 2657 02:22:47.840 --> 02:22:51.159 out of spring. It doesn't perform well. You get some 2658 02:22:51.280 --> 02:22:53.159 leaves at the end of the branch and then long 2659 02:22:53.239 --> 02:22:55.840 sections of branch with nothing on them either way is 2660 02:22:55.840 --> 02:22:59.799 a mess. Always look for the chilling requirement of your pair, 2661 02:23:00.319 --> 02:23:04.840 your peaches, plums, apples, those kinds of things. Those fruit 2662 02:23:04.879 --> 02:23:07.200 trees have a certain chilling requirement. You want to make 2663 02:23:07.239 --> 02:23:11.879 sure and buy varieties that have that requirement that match 2664 02:23:11.920 --> 02:23:14.239 where you live, and they'll do real well. You can 2665 02:23:14.280 --> 02:23:17.840 go to Aggie Horticulture's website, find the fruit and nuts section, 2666 02:23:18.399 --> 02:23:22.120 click on those publications by for apples or four pears 2667 02:23:22.159 --> 02:23:25.000 or for peaches, for example, and it'll tell you the 2668 02:23:25.079 --> 02:23:28.239 chilling ranges across the state and the varieties that might 2669 02:23:28.239 --> 02:23:32.959 fit that. Pretty well. Let's see, We're going to go 2670 02:23:33.040 --> 02:23:41.000 now to Clear Lake and talk to Mario. I'm good, 2671 02:23:41.479 --> 02:23:41.959 what's up? 2672 02:23:43.159 --> 02:23:43.399 Well? 2673 02:23:43.559 --> 02:23:46.079 I planted a I planted. 2674 02:23:45.680 --> 02:23:50.440 A Japanese blueberry in the spring and it has not 2675 02:23:50.600 --> 02:23:53.159 grown at all in height. 2676 02:23:53.840 --> 02:23:55.879 Now I'm wondering if I if they. 2677 02:23:55.799 --> 02:23:58.399 Come in various varieties. 2678 02:23:57.760 --> 02:24:02.000 Where some of them just play us at height, or 2679 02:24:02.040 --> 02:24:03.120 if I'm doing something wrong. 2680 02:24:04.600 --> 02:24:06.760 I'm not aware of a dwarf when it may exist 2681 02:24:06.799 --> 02:24:09.239 out there. Most of the ones I know get pretty 2682 02:24:09.399 --> 02:24:14.600 pretty large in time. Yeah, it's establishing. It's establishing itself, 2683 02:24:14.680 --> 02:24:19.120 so it should grow a little bit first year, not 2684 02:24:19.239 --> 02:24:22.360 like it'll grow in future years. But I would say 2685 02:24:22.360 --> 02:24:25.000 maybe a lack of water. Maybe water is enough to 2686 02:24:25.079 --> 02:24:28.600 keep it alive, but not enough to restimulate growth. I 2687 02:24:28.639 --> 02:24:31.319 wouldn't at this point in time do much because we're 2688 02:24:31.360 --> 02:24:34.639 going into winter and you don't want to stimulate succulent 2689 02:24:34.840 --> 02:24:37.479 new growth that's just going to be cold burn, cold 2690 02:24:37.559 --> 02:24:40.319 killed when we have a hard freeze. So I would 2691 02:24:40.319 --> 02:24:43.639 have I would avoid I would avoid pushing it now, 2692 02:24:43.680 --> 02:24:45.840 but in spring, I would start off with a good 2693 02:24:46.360 --> 02:24:50.440 quality fertilizer. You know, I've I've talked about a lot 2694 02:24:50.440 --> 02:24:54.360 of the different fertilizers that we have. The folks and 2695 02:24:54.799 --> 02:24:58.879 Nielson plant Food. They have a fertilizer that is excellent 2696 02:24:59.360 --> 02:25:03.319 for tree and shrubs that you may want to consider. Well, 2697 02:25:03.360 --> 02:25:04.559 those are some ideas. 2698 02:25:05.639 --> 02:25:10.600 Now, should I put heavy watering before it gets cold 2699 02:25:10.719 --> 02:25:12.200 or just leave it alone? 2700 02:25:14.719 --> 02:25:17.680 No, not heavy watering, just a good soaking. Just put 2701 02:25:17.760 --> 02:25:20.719 enough water out there so that you know so that 2702 02:25:20.799 --> 02:25:24.799 it's going to capture about an inch of water, so 2703 02:25:24.879 --> 02:25:28.159 that you know it. Maybe that it runs off before 2704 02:25:28.159 --> 02:25:29.879 you put on on the inch, so you water a 2705 02:25:29.920 --> 02:25:32.239 little while, let it soak in water a little while. Again, 2706 02:25:32.799 --> 02:25:35.000 if you got a sprinkler, just set a straight sided 2707 02:25:35.040 --> 02:25:39.079 can or rain gage or anything to measure rain or 2708 02:25:39.079 --> 02:25:42.760 irrigation and water until you've caught an inch. And again 2709 02:25:42.760 --> 02:25:44.319 if you have to do that in two waterings. 2710 02:25:44.319 --> 02:25:48.520 That's fine, okay, great, Well, you've always been very helpful. 2711 02:25:48.879 --> 02:25:50.399 I really appreciate your advice. 2712 02:25:50.680 --> 02:25:51.520 Thank you so much. 2713 02:25:52.840 --> 02:25:56.840 You bet, thank you very much. Appreciate your call. All right, 2714 02:25:57.559 --> 02:26:02.840 let's see here, Bye bye. Arburgate is one of the 2715 02:26:02.879 --> 02:26:05.159 most well known garden centers in our area, and for 2716 02:26:05.200 --> 02:26:07.840 good reason. It's because it is a destination. You go 2717 02:26:07.879 --> 02:26:10.120 out to Arburgate, which by the way, is a mile 2718 02:26:10.159 --> 02:26:12.600 and a half west of two forty nine on twenty 2719 02:26:12.719 --> 02:26:14.559 nine to twenty in Tomball, So go up to tom 2720 02:26:14.600 --> 02:26:17.399 Ball if you're going from Houston area, go up, turn 2721 02:26:17.479 --> 02:26:19.239 left on twenty nine to twenty gobout a mile and 2722 02:26:19.280 --> 02:26:21.879 a half and it's on the left there. They have 2723 02:26:21.920 --> 02:26:24.399 a nice parking lot in the back on something called 2724 02:26:24.479 --> 02:26:27.200 Trichel Road, which is a little loop that goes around. 2725 02:26:27.200 --> 02:26:29.959 So whether you're before Arbrogate or after Arburgate, there's a 2726 02:26:30.000 --> 02:26:32.840 Trischel Road. You turned on either one and it'll swing 2727 02:26:32.879 --> 02:26:35.559 around behind it and you really really good parking there. 2728 02:26:36.120 --> 02:26:39.079 Arburgate always has whatever you need for the season, and 2729 02:26:39.120 --> 02:26:43.000 their gift shops are always stocked with really nice gifts, 2730 02:26:43.200 --> 02:26:45.559 really nice things for a gift, so you're going to 2731 02:26:45.639 --> 02:26:49.920 go see Grandma or family for Thanksgiving, good night, grabbing 2732 02:26:49.959 --> 02:26:52.760 something from Arbigate could be a plant, could be something 2733 02:26:52.799 --> 02:26:54.879 from the gift shop. I like to get plants because 2734 02:26:55.399 --> 02:26:58.799 you know, plants just keep on giving a year after 2735 02:26:58.920 --> 02:27:01.799 year after year. And I look at plants someone gave me. 2736 02:27:01.840 --> 02:27:04.120 I always remember who gave me that plant, and it's 2737 02:27:04.159 --> 02:27:07.079 just a it's a fond memory. But Arbigate will get 2738 02:27:07.079 --> 02:27:09.040 you set up. Make sure when you go to Arbigate, 2739 02:27:09.319 --> 02:27:11.760 you go home with the plants you want, but also 2740 02:27:11.959 --> 02:27:18.079 with the three bags Arbigates Organic Food Complete, Herbrigates Organic 2741 02:27:18.200 --> 02:27:24.079 Soil Complete, and Arbigates Organic Compost Complete. Those three are as, 2742 02:27:24.120 --> 02:27:27.159 I like to say, the brown stuff that makes the 2743 02:27:27.159 --> 02:27:30.159 green stuff grow. Always go home with that. And when 2744 02:27:30.159 --> 02:27:32.879 you're out there, you're going to find fruit trees. You're around, 2745 02:27:32.920 --> 02:27:36.719 you're gonna find flowers and herbs and vegetables and just 2746 02:27:36.920 --> 02:27:40.600 whatever plant. But I would say most importantly, other than 2747 02:27:40.600 --> 02:27:43.520 the fact that it's just fun to go, is the 2748 02:27:43.559 --> 02:27:46.639 staff that knows what they're talking about and can steer 2749 02:27:46.719 --> 02:27:50.040 you right. They've got experience, they've got knowledge. I talk 2750 02:27:50.120 --> 02:27:52.920 to them all the time, and I mean we sometimes 2751 02:27:53.000 --> 02:27:55.920 we work out some really hard problems on plants and 2752 02:27:55.959 --> 02:27:58.520 issues that come in. But they are on top of it. 2753 02:27:58.639 --> 02:28:01.760 They know their stuff that, as they say, is worth 2754 02:28:01.760 --> 02:28:03.760 the price of admission right there by the way, it 2755 02:28:03.760 --> 02:28:07.719 doesn't cost anything to get into Urbrocade. All right, Well, 2756 02:28:07.719 --> 02:28:09.639 I got to take a little break. When I come back. 2757 02:28:09.719 --> 02:28:13.200 David and Clare Lake, you'll be the first. All right, 2758 02:28:13.360 --> 02:28:18.040 Welcome to Goldline folks. Good to have you with us. 2759 02:28:18.600 --> 02:28:21.920 Just want to remind you that I'm gonna be heading 2760 02:28:21.959 --> 02:28:26.920 over to Katie Hardware on Penoak Road after the show today. 2761 02:28:26.920 --> 02:28:29.680 I'll be there from twelve noon to two pm.

We're gonna be at twelve backs, 2767 02:28:46.920 --> 02:28:49.239 like four bags of each, I believe is the number. 2768 02:28:49.280 --> 02:28:52.159 It's like stuff's gonna be going everywhere.

Again, 2778 02:29:20.719 --> 02:29:23.520 kind of wanting you to be aware of this. I've 2779 02:29:23.520 --> 02:29:25.879 been doing a lot of appearances this fall. This is 2780 02:29:25.879 --> 02:29:28.040 the last one I'm going to do that's anywhere toward 2781 02:29:28.120 --> 02:29:30.680 the west. Next time I'm do it an appearance way 2782 02:29:30.719 --> 02:29:33.280 out in Kingwood to these So for all of you 2783 02:29:33.319 --> 02:29:36.239 from Central on to the west, this is a good 2784 02:29:36.319 --> 02:29:40.200 chance to come on out and see me. Maybe last 2785 02:29:40.239 --> 02:29:43.200 call I should say, we're going to go to clear 2786 02:29:43.239 --> 02:29:45.719 Lake now and talk to David. Hello, David, welcome to 2787 02:29:45.719 --> 02:29:46.200 garden Line. 2788 02:29:47.440 --> 02:29:49.000 Hey Skip, good to talk to you. 2789 02:29:49.360 --> 02:29:50.360 Quick quick question. 2790 02:29:50.440 --> 02:29:52.760 I was going to put down carbaload on my yard. 2791 02:29:53.600 --> 02:29:55.399 Can I put it into the flower beds? 2792 02:29:55.959 --> 02:29:56.040 That? 2793 02:29:56.159 --> 02:29:56.520 Okay? 2794 02:29:58.520 --> 02:30:03.319 Are you ever going to plant c in the flower beds? 2795 02:30:03.360 --> 02:30:05.920 Not not this year. 2796 02:30:06.120 --> 02:30:08.879 The next year, next year? Okay, then then you could. 2797 02:30:08.920 --> 02:30:12.000 Carbo looad has a pre emergent herbicide in it and 2798 02:30:12.040 --> 02:30:15.200 so you know, if you were going to seed, it 2799 02:30:15.280 --> 02:30:19.680 will prevent flower seeds just like it prevents weed seeds. 2800 02:30:20.040 --> 02:30:21.920 So you could do that. If I were you, though, 2801 02:30:22.040 --> 02:30:25.600 I would grab a different product from Nelson. Nelson has 2802 02:30:25.639 --> 02:30:28.799 a lot of good products out there. Carverload is fine. 2803 02:30:28.840 --> 02:30:32.079 I mean it's awesome for the lawn, but just to avoid, 2804 02:30:32.159 --> 02:30:35.079 you know, adding the herbicide into the bed, should you 2805 02:30:35.159 --> 02:30:38.239 decide to plan any seeds, why don't you grab one 2806 02:30:38.280 --> 02:30:41.079 of their other products. Bruce's Brew is one that they 2807 02:30:41.159 --> 02:30:44.040 have that would be an excellent one going in for 2808 02:30:44.200 --> 02:30:47.920 winter color. It's it's got a good boost of nitrogen 2809 02:30:47.959 --> 02:30:50.159 in it, and it would be a good choice. That 2810 02:30:50.520 --> 02:30:52.760 is a Nelson product that would work real well. 2811 02:30:54.479 --> 02:30:58.280 And then should I put that before I remote for 2812 02:30:58.440 --> 02:30:59.000 the winter? 2813 02:31:00.520 --> 02:31:02.760 Yeah, you would do that. I mean if you had 2814 02:31:02.879 --> 02:31:05.200 mulched down, you could sprinkle it kind of rake the 2815 02:31:05.280 --> 02:31:07.600 maultch just so the particles fall into the soil and 2816 02:31:07.639 --> 02:31:10.959 then water it in. But if you haven't meltched yet, yeah, Now, 2817 02:31:11.000 --> 02:31:13.040 I said Bruce is Bury. You know you were talking 2818 02:31:13.040 --> 02:31:15.719 about lawn fertilizers and Bruce's Bruce is a lawn fertilizer 2819 02:31:15.760 --> 02:31:18.760 you could use for that You could also get color Star, 2820 02:31:18.879 --> 02:31:22.920 which is made for that It's made for blooming beds, 2821 02:31:23.000 --> 02:31:26.799 blooming plants, and so Colorstar comes. You probably buy it 2822 02:31:26.840 --> 02:31:29.200 by the bag, but typically in garden centers you're gonna 2823 02:31:29.200 --> 02:31:33.120 find the little jars of it that you can sprinkle out. 2824 02:31:34.360 --> 02:31:37.120 Okay, perfect good information. 2825 02:31:37.200 --> 02:31:42.319 Okay, all right, thank you very much. Have fun creating 2826 02:31:42.360 --> 02:31:47.319 a beautiful place out there. You know. Green Pro is 2827 02:31:48.440 --> 02:31:53.040 a company that provides aeration and compost top dressing for 2828 02:31:53.200 --> 02:31:55.719 the northwest quadron of Houston. And when I say that, 2829 02:31:55.879 --> 02:32:00.479 I mean intertate forty five to I ten basically. So anyway, 2830 02:32:00.760 --> 02:32:02.520 the other way to put it is about forty five 2831 02:32:02.559 --> 02:32:05.799 miles from Magnolia. So if you're up north and you 2832 02:32:05.840 --> 02:32:09.440 know the Woodlands and Conroe and Willis direction, if you're 2833 02:32:09.479 --> 02:32:14.159 down towards Spring and Cyprus up in Montgomery and Magnolia 2834 02:32:14.280 --> 02:32:16.479 up kind of north and west down to Katie West 2835 02:32:16.520 --> 02:32:19.520 Houston over to Central Houston, you know, kind of up 2836 02:32:19.559 --> 02:32:24.159 north central area of Houston. That's their area. And they 2837 02:32:24.159 --> 02:32:26.319 had a really good deal going. They'll aerate your lawn 2838 02:32:26.440 --> 02:32:29.440 for free.

Of course, it depends on how big your 2844 02:32:42.520 --> 02:32:44.360 yard is and how much composts you're putting out and 2845 02:32:44.360 --> 02:32:46.239 all that kind of thing. All you have to do 2846 02:32:46.360 --> 02:32:51.639 is go to the website greenpro dot net, greenpro dot net. 2847 02:32:52.200 --> 02:32:56.639 Here's a phone numbers two eight one three five one 2848 02:32:57.399 --> 02:33:01.000 forty seven thirty three two eight one three five one 2849 02:33:01.959 --> 02:33:05.799 forty seven thirty three. Listen. Aerating and composttop dressing helps 2850 02:33:05.799 --> 02:33:09.040 whole moisture. It allows you to get a good deep 2851 02:33:09.159 --> 02:33:12.559 soaking from rain or your irrigation, which means you're watering 2852 02:33:12.600 --> 02:33:15.200 a little bit less because you're getting that water you're 2853 02:33:15.319 --> 02:33:18.440 plying down into the soil. They've been doing this longer 2854 02:33:18.440 --> 02:33:21.520 than anyone here in the Houston area. And although it 2855 02:33:21.600 --> 02:33:24.360 is an investment to do aeration and compost stop dressing, 2856 02:33:24.360 --> 02:33:26.239 it's a lot cheaper than resotting. And a lot of 2857 02:33:26.319 --> 02:33:29.239 lawns I've seen around the area from the heat the 2858 02:33:29.319 --> 02:33:32.399 drought we had take all root, rock, chinchbugs, all the 2859 02:33:32.479 --> 02:33:36.799 stresses are really losing sections of the lawn and green 2860 02:33:36.879 --> 02:33:41.559 pro is can come out and do that aeration compost 2861 02:33:41.559 --> 02:33:44.239 top dressing in a way that helps you get your 2862 02:33:44.319 --> 02:33:50.920 lawn growing and back in business again.

That's a good deal too, by 2864 02:33:53.159 --> 02:33:59.959 the way, free aeration with a two yard minimum comp 2865 02:34:00.559 --> 02:34:05.639 top dressing. I like that well. Our phone number if 2866 02:34:05.639 --> 02:34:07.079 you'd like to give me a call seven to one 2867 02:34:07.040 --> 02:34:12.600 to three two one two kt RH. I got time 2868 02:34:12.639 --> 02:34:15.280 for a really quick call. I mean, if it's really quick, 2869 02:34:15.319 --> 02:34:18.280 I got one in me left, so let's do that. 2870 02:34:18.879 --> 02:34:21.000 I just want to remind you again, I've talked about 2871 02:34:21.000 --> 02:34:24.440 a number of things today, but this is the last call, 2872 02:34:24.719 --> 02:34:28.360 uh pretty much on taking care of those lawns and 2873 02:34:28.360 --> 02:34:31.879 getting ready for spring. Every week you wait makes the 2874 02:34:31.959 --> 02:34:35.639 things you're doing a little less effective. You know, you 2875 02:34:35.680 --> 02:34:37.440 wait too long to put a P for emergent down 2876 02:34:37.479 --> 02:34:39.760 the weeds are very sprouted. You wait too long to 2877 02:34:39.760 --> 02:34:45.159 put disease prevention down the rompat circles already there. You 2878 02:34:45.280 --> 02:34:48.239 wait too long to fertilize, and it's cooling off enough 2879 02:34:48.280 --> 02:34:50.000 to where the grass is kind of in a holding 2880 02:34:50.040 --> 02:34:53.079 pattern and it's not taking up and utilizing those nutrients 2881 02:34:53.120 --> 02:34:56.440 as well, and that fall fertilization is so important. And 2882 02:34:56.639 --> 02:34:59.239 it's hard to convince people of this, but the most 2883 02:34:59.239 --> 02:35:02.319 important furtize of the year is the fall application. And 2884 02:35:02.319 --> 02:35:05.719 here's why. It strengthens the plant coming out of the 2885 02:35:05.719 --> 02:35:10.280 summer that we just had. It also puts the carbohyd 2886 02:35:10.440 --> 02:35:15.479 It helps the plant make carbohydrates for winter heartiness. Sun 2887 02:35:15.520 --> 02:35:19.719 shines on leaves. It's right now, they say, make hay 2888 02:35:19.760 --> 02:35:22.799 while the sun shines. Make carbohydrates while the sunshines. And 2889 02:35:22.840 --> 02:35:25.799 your grass is doing that right now, and that helps 2890 02:35:25.840 --> 02:35:28.079 for winter hardiness. And then finally, do you know that 2891 02:35:28.159 --> 02:35:30.360 when the grass starts to grow in the spring, it 2892 02:35:30.440 --> 02:35:33.600 is not your spring fertilizer that's making it grow. It's 2893 02:35:33.639 --> 02:35:37.120 the fall fertilizer because the energy is stored in the 2894 02:35:37.159 --> 02:35:40.799 plant and form a carbohydrates to support spring growth. So 2895 02:35:41.399 --> 02:35:43.520 when things warm up a little bit and the grass 2896 02:35:43.559 --> 02:35:47.879 begins to grow based on that fall fertilization energy, then 2897 02:35:48.159 --> 02:35:50.559 we put our spring fertilizations on. When we begin to 2898 02:35:50.600 --> 02:35:53.159 mow the lawn, that's time to start the spring fertilizations 2899 02:35:53.200 --> 02:35:56.200 out there. Fall is so important. So if you're only 2900 02:35:56.239 --> 02:35:57.840 a fertilized once a year, I'd say do it in 2901 02:35:57.840 --> 02:35:59.520 the fall, but I hope you do it twice at 2902 02:35:59.600 --> 02:36:03.360 least fallen spring, and then of course summer if you 2903 02:36:03.399 --> 02:36:05.360 want to just take a notch further. We're going to 2904 02:36:05.399 --> 02:36:07.239 see if we can get a call in real quick care. 2905 02:36:07.520 --> 02:36:10.920 We're gonna go to Sabrina. Hey, Sabrina, how can we 2906 02:36:10.959 --> 02:36:11.559 help today? 2907 02:36:12.719 --> 02:36:12.920 Hi? 2908 02:36:13.120 --> 02:36:17.360 Very quickly. I've got a weed and it's in my backyard. 2909 02:36:17.360 --> 02:36:20.200 It's kind of a wiry, bright green weed with the 2910 02:36:20.600 --> 02:36:24.040 little white flower that's bloomed with a little yellow dot 2911 02:36:24.079 --> 02:36:29.760 in the center. They're very hard to pull. I was wondering. 2912 02:36:29.879 --> 02:36:33.360 I know you've talked about your your weed things that 2913 02:36:33.399 --> 02:36:37.159 you dabber, but what kind of We put down the 2914 02:36:37.280 --> 02:36:41.079 nitrophoss barricade, and we did the fall special fertilizer. But 2915 02:36:41.719 --> 02:36:43.840 with this rain, all of a sudden these popped up 2916 02:36:43.840 --> 02:36:46.239 all over. How can I resolve this? 2917 02:36:46.600 --> 02:36:48.840 Okay? Does the white flower look like almost like a 2918 02:36:48.840 --> 02:36:50.920 little daisy with little white strappy palace? 2919 02:36:51.000 --> 02:36:51.280 Yes? 2920 02:36:52.079 --> 02:36:55.799 Yes, okay, that is fall that's fall aster and you 2921 02:36:55.879 --> 02:36:58.520 need to hand pull them right now. No post emergency. 2922 02:36:58.520 --> 02:37:03.280 Oh one fall aster plant. I posted something to to 2923 02:37:03.399 --> 02:37:05.959 facebook page. Go look at our guardline Facebook. I talked 2924 02:37:05.959 --> 02:37:10.879 about them. One fall will produce, can produce thousands of seeds, 2925 02:37:11.319 --> 02:37:14.719 and pull that plant as soon as possible before the 2926 02:37:14.879 --> 02:37:18.040 seed pods all dry and start to fall apart. It 2927 02:37:18.120 --> 02:37:19.959 comes out of one spot. It may be as big 2928 02:37:20.000 --> 02:37:21.920 as the steering wheel on your car. It's got one 2929 02:37:21.959 --> 02:37:24.680 tap root, and if the soil is moist, you can 2930 02:37:24.719 --> 02:37:27.040 grab it and wiggle as you pull, and it comes 2931 02:37:27.159 --> 02:37:30.520 right out. I have a neighbor that never controls their weeds. 2932 02:37:30.559 --> 02:37:33.200 Their fall asters come onto my side and every fall 2933 02:37:33.239 --> 02:37:35.239 I go out there with the five gallon bucket and 2934 02:37:35.319 --> 02:37:37.200 pull them out. And this year I didn't see one 2935 02:37:37.200 --> 02:37:40.479 fall aster on my side coming out. Okay, because you will. 2936 02:37:40.799 --> 02:37:43.920 You will win that war if you don't let them 2937 02:37:44.239 --> 02:37:44.920 produce seed. 2938 02:37:45.200 --> 02:37:48.479 Okay, okay, great, thank you so much. I will go 2939 02:37:48.559 --> 02:37:52.280 out there and pull up my whole yard.
