You need to be more observant with it. 132 00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:11.639 And I don't plant too deeply, and definitely do not 133 00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:15.120 over water. There can cause some problems. I've met with 134 00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:19.079 the customer yesterday and her hinge and chicks were rotten away. WHOA, Well, 135 00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:21.560 we've had a superfluous amount of brains, yes we have. 136 00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:25.120 And hens and chicks simply are not they're not ducks 137 00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:28.279 to pervive them. They're they're yeah, really, they're just not 138 00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:34.480 suited for extended periods of wet weather. So hens and 139 00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:37.399 chicks and seasons like that or something. You just simply 140 00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:41.199 don't have the water that much because they store a 141 00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:45.639 lot of water, okay, and they're just not suited to 142 00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:50.160 wet areas like that. So in the Vesta regard this week, 143 00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:53.160 tomatoes is showing some wet and heat related problems. You 144 00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:55.199 might have some yellow leaves on the bottom as they 145 00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:57.519 go up, and a lot of times that can be 146 00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:02.319 alleviated with some bulch. It's a big fan of that. 147 00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:04.360 For the tomatoes are well, tom it's a it's a 148 00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:07.040 fundus issue. It bounces off the soil. When we have 149 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:09.399 brain and it gets on there, it CAUs there's a 150 00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:13.199 fun problem. So adding some molts to tomatoes just fine. 151 00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:16.120 I go to people's houses where they have tomatoes with 152 00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:18.839 molts and beautiful green leaves all the way from the 153 00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:21.000 bottom of the one up solid huh yeah.

One of them has it's 193 00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:16.080 very I don't know what they call it because I'm 194 00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:21.159 not a professional when it comes to craggrass, but it 195 00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:24.720 has its real long stem and forms just open like 196 00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:28.080 an open hand on the ground and those just just 197 00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:31.840 pull them up, throw them under the lawn bower and 198 00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:33.600 drying them up, spread the seeds everywhere. 199 00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:35.559 So yeah, it get somebody else's yard. 200 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:42.480 So yeah, the craggrass at least it's it's alive and growing. 201 00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:44.200 I think it's feeling a little too hot for some 202 00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:48.240 of it, kind of turning a little brown around the edges. 203 00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:50.879 A little bit. So wow. 204 00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:52.679 Yeah. Yeah. 205 00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:59.039 So also it's a time to maybe do another fertilization 206 00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:01.200 on your bimeter as your grass, But don't do it 207 00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:03.159 unless you have moisture in the ground what you do 208 00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:06.360 right now, or have a means by which it can 209 00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:07.759 be watered through right away too. 210 00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:09.440 Diffusion is what it takes. 211 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:12.159 Maybe, Yeah, if you put it, if you put fertilizer 212 00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:14.120 down on drug ground, it can cause some problems. 213 00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:14.679 Yeah. 214 00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:15.200 Uh. 215 00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:17.799 Shallow ritz is one of them, and it makes the 216 00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:22.559 grass intolerant of dry conditions because hey, this. 217 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:23.679 Is I don't have to work. 218 00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:25.200 Fertilizer right there. 219 00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:26.679 I don't have to go down deep to get it 220 00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:30.919 and then it then it droughtstress is real bad. So 221 00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:34.000 you can still fertilize but lightly right now on the lawn, 222 00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:35.759 just just to kind of keep it going a little 223 00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:38.320 bit and be prepared to irrigate when that happens when 224 00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:41.879 you do put it down too. Okay, So grass is 225 00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:45.960 growing erma grasses in its element right now. It tolerates 226 00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:50.159 the heat quite well. So good fescue grass, though, keep 227 00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:53.080 it tall. Don't don't cut your fescue grass very short 228 00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:54.879 and sowers your grass kind of the same thing. Don't 229 00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:57.399 cut it too short right now, all the grasses need 230 00:11:57.399 --> 00:12:00.960 to be fairly high. And what that does it increases 231 00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:04.000 the surface area of the of the grass, so it 232 00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:06.919 has a better chance to keep yourself cool. It also 233 00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:09.759 helps shade the ground a little bit. Keep that just 234 00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:10.840 a little bit cooler too. 235 00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:13.519 Now. I've been mowing it kind of high, even when 236 00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:16.120 it was kind of wet. Yeah, and I had mook 237 00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:17.120 quite often. 238 00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:21.519 Too, but oh, it just seems like you get you 239 00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:24.639 get a tent of an inch exploded, and it's like. 240 00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:27.600 Oh my gosh, Okay, here I go. I'm getting in shape. 241 00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:30.399 That we had to buy a corner a lot. 242 00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:31.120 Uh huh. 243 00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:36.399 That's what I got, So I delegate designate areas. I 244 00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:39.720 don't know the whole thing at once, especially when it's hot, 245 00:12:40.039 --> 00:12:42.240 So I do some bit on one day, So about 246 00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:46.240 about a three day cycle. That's about motographs because you know, 247 00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:48.320 work all day out of the heat. The less you 248 00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:52.840 want to do is well, yeah, you got to keep. 249 00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:53.639 It neat you do. 250 00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:58.480 The neighbors might code yeah, rock fet your house. 251 00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:04.600 It's over there. Yeah, well shoot, they get off work. 252 00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:07.360 You know, it's the west. We do the west side 253 00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:10.120 first where it's kind of cool, and then kind of 254 00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:13.840 gradually do the front and then I'll wait till Sunday. 255 00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:15.279 Too in the back. Yeah. 256 00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:17.200 I do do a little bit at a time when 257 00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:19.679 it's really hot. You know, when you get to be 258 00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:21.360 my age, just kind of have to do that. 259 00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:23.000 Yeah. 260 00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:27.080 So yeah, I take a lot of breaks. See you 261 00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:29.200 got a writer, don't you know? You know you got 262 00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:31.120 to push her. Yeah, that's why I got. 263 00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:34.480 Yeah, it's got this variable speed and always run as 264 00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:35.519 the fastest speed. 265 00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:37.279 Keep those blades sharp. 266 00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:40.559 Yeah, I got, I just got one speed. 267 00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:41.559 It's a good workout too. 268 00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:43.879 Actually it is a good workout. I have one speed. 269 00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:48.120 It's called Mosy Mosy and is a mowen. 270 00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:50.720 Yeah, my mower is thirty years old. It needs a 271 00:13:50.759 --> 00:14:00.399 new transmission. So okay, when Craig myrtles, uh there right 272 00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:02.759 now they are and they're doing quite well. I know 273 00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:04.080 I haven't won in front of my house. 274 00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:06.159 That's right. Happened after it? 275 00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:08.720 Right, It kind of went a little floppy on me. 276 00:14:08.840 --> 00:14:11.519 But it seems to be pulling himself back up. And 277 00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:13.480 I see that a lot of in the great myrtles 278 00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:16.720 because I had a lot of weight and the rain 279 00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:19.360 kind of made them bend down a little bit. You 280 00:14:19.399 --> 00:14:21.360 could lighten them up a little bit, but not much. 281 00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:24.759 And look at look at the blooms and if they're 282 00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:27.600 if they're expired. In other words, the plumes come up 283 00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:29.879 on the tips, the blooms come up on the tips 284 00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:32.879 of the branch, and when they start to die out 285 00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:35.600 that you still have time to cut them back and 286 00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:36.840 they will regenerate. 287 00:14:36.879 --> 00:14:39.799 Some blooms. At this point in time, the day length. 288 00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:42.960 Is such that that's typically what affects them and what 289 00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:45.799 stimuls in the bloom is the length of day. And 290 00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:49.039 while we're still at this people although we're going down 291 00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:49.720 a little bit on. 292 00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:51.120 The peak, we're still in the arch. 293 00:14:53.399 --> 00:14:56.960 There's still time for them to put on somewhere bloom. 294 00:14:57.639 --> 00:15:01.320 So if the blooms are starting to kind of to deteriorate, 295 00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:03.919 and you can cut those old blooms off and chances 296 00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:05.840 are it will send out a side shooting and bloom 297 00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:06.279 even more. 298 00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:07.240 Oh there you go. 299 00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:09.240 Yeah, look at the color of your crepe myrtle. 300 00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:10.879 If you've got a red one and it's not really 301 00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:17.600 super red, you might have a phosphorus deficiency. And I 302 00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:20.279 wouldn't recommend fertilizing it too much at this point, but 303 00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:23.679 just as a good practice, give it some ten twenty 304 00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:27.080 ten something like that early in the spring and that'll 305 00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:32.759 help it. But enhance enhance phosphor's content will help the 306 00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:36.080 bloom color in the bloom volume too, got it, So 307 00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:38.440 give them some of that earlier in the spring. I 308 00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:42.000 think we discussed it and show us past to what 309 00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:45.480 to do with the crepe myrtles. But right now, don't 310 00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:47.600 water them too much. At this point. You can get 311 00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:51.200 mildew and mold on them, stuff real bad. So give 312 00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:52.960 they like it a little bit on the dry side. 313 00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:56.679 They really don't like wet feet, so they should do. Okay, 314 00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:00.360 watch out for a scale insect on them too. It's 315 00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:05.000 a traite myrtle. Scale is a pretty bad problem with them. 316 00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:07.639 And look at the stand and look for a little tiny, 317 00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:11.240 little white specs on them, and those are typically our 318 00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:13.080 scale insects. You can kind of rub them off a 319 00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:16.480 little bit, but there are some controls for that you 320 00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:17.159 can get you too. 321 00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:18.879 Sopie waterworks. 322 00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:22.080 Sophie water works pretty well.

Yeah. 325 00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:33.279 Also one cure and is a metoploprid too. It's a 326 00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:36.600 systemic and it works from within. Okay, So you mix 327 00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:38.480 it up and pour it on the ground and the tree. 328 00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:38.960 Draws it up. 329 00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:40.639 Dope, put it on the tree. 330 00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:45.360 It's a systemic nicotinoid, gotcha, and it affects the nervous 331 00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:46.279 system of the insect. 332 00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:49.360 All right, We're going to take a quick break, folks. 333 00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:52.039 We are going to be back after this two minute, 334 00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:53.519 thirty second time out. 335 00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:57.759 The employees are United Rentals or local folk work go 336 00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:01.080 to church and send their kids to school in Bartlesville 337 00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:05.119 and the surrounding area.
