Speaker 1: Welcome to Katie r. H Garden Line with Skip Ricter.
Speaker 2: Mills.
Speaker 3: What a trip.
Speaker 4: Just watch him as well. So many bird things to
Speaker 4: seep back, bass game almost not a side gas sun
Speaker 4: bean and.
Speaker 3: Well good morning starting, Good morning gardeners on a nice
Speaker 3: little saturday here. We've got some warm weather we're in
Speaker 3: the middle of right now, but boy'd be a good
Speaker 3: morning to get out there and enjoy. Enjoy being outside once.
Speaker 3: Unless you have headlights, you might want to wait just
Speaker 3: a little bit, but it's time to warm up and
Speaker 3: get ready for it. Let's talk about things that are
Speaker 3: of interest to you in gardening. What's going on in
Speaker 3: your yard right now? You got a question, give me
Speaker 3: a call seven one three two one two fifty eight
Speaker 3: seventy four seven one three two one two five eight
Speaker 3: seven four or make it easy, KTRH. Give us a call.
Speaker 3: We'll talk about the things that are of interest to you.
Speaker 3: I was hunting down a product the other day and uh,
Speaker 3: I couldn't believe it. I thought it was more widely available.
Speaker 3: It was a product for stopping regrowth of stumps and
Speaker 3: printing cuts and things like that. Because I've got a well,
Speaker 3: I've got a couple of things that are giving me
Speaker 3: some trouble with that. One is a crate myrtle. Crate
Speaker 3: myrtles are bad about re sprouting from the base and
Speaker 3: even from like if you cut off a limb of
Speaker 3: any size at all, you get resprouts all around where
Speaker 3: you cut it off. And there are hormones in the
Speaker 3: plant that can prevent that, and you can purchase and
Speaker 3: spray them on. One of them is called sucker stopper,
Speaker 3: and I see what's in there's several of them, something
Speaker 3: about stump ory sprouting as part of another one's name. Anyway,
Speaker 3: they work, and so I was trying to find that
Speaker 3: product spray on. In my case, it wasn't just a
Speaker 3: crape myrtle. It was a Vitex. Vitex is a beautiful
Speaker 3: blue blooming summer shrub slash tree. It's really kind of
Speaker 3: caught between the two. It's hard to get it to
Speaker 3: be one single trunk, although you can. I'm working on
Speaker 3: it right now, and I sucker type type reducing products
Speaker 3: are important if you're going to try to get it
Speaker 3: to be one trunk. But anyway, I've got one. I
Speaker 3: cut off all but one central trunk on and I'm
Speaker 3: trying to train it into a tree. I'm going to
Speaker 3: find out if it works before I tell you it
Speaker 3: works for sure. I think I can do it. We'll
Speaker 3: find out anyway. Bottom line is I couldn't find a product,
Speaker 3: and I went three different places looking around for the product,
Speaker 3: and finally I just, you know, I realized, if you're
Speaker 3: going to find something like that, where do you go
Speaker 3: for something that other people don't carry or even all
Speaker 3: the things that everybody carries. Southwest Fertilizer it's a corner
Speaker 3: of Businet and Runwick. Bob, you know, he's gosh. That
Speaker 3: place is now on it's seventieth year. By the way,
Speaker 3: Bob's not if you're listening, Bob, I just want to
Speaker 3: make sure we get that real clear, you and I both.
Speaker 3: There's somewhere south to seventy joking aside, It has been
Speaker 3: around for seventy years, and it's it's around for seventy
Speaker 3: years because they carry products people want, They treat people
Speaker 3: like they want to be treated, They have reasonable prices,
Speaker 3: and it just that's it. Friendly service, quality products and
Speaker 3: great selection. Corner Busnet and Renwick. Save yourself trouble running
Speaker 3: all over the place. Just go to Southwest and they're
Speaker 3: going to have it products like what I'm talking about
Speaker 3: for example. Then anyway it seems to be working so far,
Speaker 3: we're gonna we're gonna watch it and see how it goes.
Speaker 3: But that's a that's a pretty handy deal. It's kind
Speaker 3: of cool too, because you're basically taking a plant's natural
Speaker 3: hormones and you're turning it into something to help you
Speaker 3: get that plant to grow like you want it to be.
Speaker 3: By the way, of course, it's turf fertilizing season. Time
Speaker 3: to get out there and do that. You need to
Speaker 3: make sure you got what you need in order to fertilize.
Speaker 3: And if you go online to gardening with Skip dot com,
Speaker 3: that's my website, Gardening with Skip dot com, you'll find
Speaker 3: my schedules plural. There's one that is a lawn care schedule.
Speaker 3: It's mow water, fertilized air rate supplements, micro supplement. Well,
Speaker 3: that's on the schedule. The other one is what goes
Speaker 3: wrong with your lawn and what to do about it.
Speaker 3: That would be preventing weeds, that would be killing existing weeds,
Speaker 3: that would be dealing with diseases and dealing with insects
Speaker 3: for example. Both of those schedules are free. You can
Speaker 3: download them, you can stare at them on your computer
Speaker 3: or on your phone, whatever you won't do, and they work.
Speaker 3: By the way, while you're at Southwest, grab some of
Speaker 3: the Eagle turf fungicide if you're dealing with gray leaf spot.
Speaker 3: Gray leaf spot is a problem on Saint Augustine when
Speaker 3: the temperatures are mildly warm, not one hundred degrees and
Speaker 3: blazing dry. But when they're warm, they've heated up for summer,
Speaker 3: the beginning of summer which we're in now, and the
Speaker 3: humidity and surface. More importantly, the surface moisture on the
Speaker 3: grass blades is high. So if it rains a lot,
Speaker 3: which it did, we got seven inches a couple of
Speaker 3: weeks ago and saw a little bit of gray leaf
Speaker 3: spot showing up. If you water too often, I always
Speaker 3: tell you water deeply and infrequently. It's simple. How do
Speaker 3: you water your lawn? Two words, deeply, infrequently. When you water,
Speaker 3: give it a good soaking, then let it dry out
Speaker 3: and keep those grass blades as dry as you can
Speaker 3: for as long as you can. You can't control rain,
Speaker 3: but you can't control your irrigation. And when it stays wet,
Speaker 3: a lot and it's warm, gray leaf spots going to attack.
Speaker 3: And if you look at my schedule for plant problems,
Speaker 3: for lawn problems rather a gray leaf spots season is
Speaker 3: listed in there when it could occur. Sometimes you have
Speaker 3: a little it's not worth treating. But when you need
Speaker 3: to treat, Eagle turf Fungicide from Nitrofoss works. It is
Speaker 3: a systemic It moves into the plant and it sticks around,
Speaker 3: and it gives you an extended period of control as
Speaker 3: a result of that doesn't just wash off with the
Speaker 3: next train. So Eagle Turf Fungicide by Nitrofoss is a
Speaker 3: product that we would recommend for take the not take
Speaker 3: off the gray leaf spot. That's what I'm talking about
Speaker 3: right now. Anyway, it's easy to do, easy to do. Hey,
Speaker 3: when it comes to the lawns, I just I'll talk
Speaker 3: about this a little bit more later. I just have
Speaker 3: been working on a couple of lawns this season that
Speaker 3: we're trying to get in better order. And I'm going
Speaker 3: to talk a little bit about what do you do
Speaker 3: when you want to when you want or need to
Speaker 3: maybe don't want to, but need to replace a lawn.
Speaker 3: And there's some simple steps for doing that. Now, for
Speaker 3: those of you who already have a line, you need
Speaker 3: to think about getting that lawn in its top shape
Speaker 3: for summer. And the way we do that is by
Speaker 3: applying something that's gonna gradually be released over time. You
Speaker 3: don't want fast flushes of growth. Don't just dump a
Speaker 3: bunch of high nitrogen fertilizer at one time on your lawn.
Speaker 3: Get you some Nitrofoss Superturf. That's the silver bag Nitrofas
Speaker 3: Superturf nineteen four to ten. Put it down and it's
Speaker 3: going to be sixteen weeks of gradual feeding of your lawn.
Speaker 3: That's the way you want to do it. You're gonna
Speaker 3: find nitro Fass Superturf at places like Plants and things
Speaker 3: up in Brenham, Fisher's Hardware on Alexander down in Baytown,
Speaker 3: and Lake Hardware Clute on Dixie Drive as well. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna take a little break right now and we'll come
Speaker 3: back with your calls if you'd like to be first up.
Speaker 3: Seven one three two point two KTRH. I woke up
Speaker 3: into this week late in the week and I could
Speaker 3: not even whisper without coffee. I thought, oh boy, we
Speaker 3: got this thing called a radio show. To do I
Speaker 3: have you have to have a sick day? Knock on?
Speaker 3: What since I started doing Guarden Line, where I just
Speaker 3: literally couldn't do the show? Uh, And anyway, I thought, oh,
Speaker 3: this may be one of them. I may have my
Speaker 3: first one. But thanks to a good family doctor and
Speaker 3: some wonderful medications, I'm here. So we'll try. We'll see
Speaker 3: how coherent I can be today. But at least I
Speaker 3: got my voice back where we can talk. And by
Speaker 3: the way, if you like the talk seven one three
Speaker 3: two one two k t r H seven to one
Speaker 3: three two one two k t r H. If you've
Speaker 3: been down to in Chenny Gardens lately, you know I
Speaker 3: one of my favorite things that I like to do
Speaker 3: is to get out there and visit garden centers. And
Speaker 3: I do a lot. And it's not just because I
Speaker 3: do Garden Line or you know, for years it's County
Speaker 3: Agrolife Extension Horticulture with the texting and uh agrolife extension.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 3: But I do it because I love to I just
Speaker 3: I love to get out and when I go to
Speaker 3: a garden center, I could easily lose an hour even
Speaker 3: if I've been to it many times before, just going
Speaker 3: around looking at plants, reading the tag seeing what's new.
Speaker 3: You know, there's this new variety of this or that
Speaker 3: species always coming on the market. Uh. So it makes
Speaker 3: it really makes it fun, I think, and I encourage
Speaker 3: you to be that kind of a garden uh business visitor.
Speaker 3: I just not just nurseries, but also garden supplies and
Speaker 3: tools suppliers. And I learned something every time. Absolutely do.
Speaker 3: You got to You have to have a great level
Speaker 3: of disinterest to not continually be learning as a gardener.
Speaker 3: And I mean that because when it comes to gardening, uh,
Speaker 3: there's always something new there just always is. And Channa
Speaker 3: Gardens is like a prime example of that. Every time
Speaker 3: I go into a Channa Gardens there are plants that
Speaker 3: I have not seen before because the industry is out
Speaker 3: there churning them out left and right. And by the way,
Speaker 3: the taxonomists are out there changing the name left and
Speaker 3: right too much to my chagrin. But anyway, the Chenna
Speaker 3: Gardens will give you the options that you have, by
Speaker 3: the way, by really nice, friendly staff that know what
Speaker 3: they're talking about. And I don't care what you're interested in.
Speaker 3: Maybe some new types of hydranges, maybe you're into hanging baskets.
Speaker 3: You know, I've been kind of pushing on you this year,
Speaker 3: saying you got to get out and do some containers.
Speaker 3: You are not going to believe the selection of containers.
Speaker 3: Every kind of plain old you know, terra cotta, but
Speaker 3: quality terracotta, not the cheap junk that you buy at
Speaker 3: some places. Quality terracotta. Talavera, the beautiful paint of Talavera,
Speaker 3: and all the inspiration you need. Go by and look
Speaker 3: at some of the submarines put together there. Look at
Speaker 3: the combo containers that she's built. I'm talking about everything
Speaker 3: from hanging baskets to upright containers, to things that are
Speaker 3: just unusual shapes and forms, almost like the container itself
Speaker 3: is another figurine in the garden. They've got all of that.
Speaker 3: And when it comes to color for summer, Boogainvilias got
Speaker 3: a bunch of desert rows in too. By the way,
Speaker 3: those are gorgeous. If you've never tried desert rows, that
Speaker 3: would be a new plant to take on. One time
Speaker 3: years ago, a wise man, a doctor Georgia A. Mckeachen,
Speaker 3: who was a pomology professor of mine at tex A
Speaker 3: and m He said, every year, you pick one plant
Speaker 3: and you learn all you can about it for the
Speaker 3: whole year. It's not that you only learn about one planet.
Speaker 3: It's just like and for me, I've done that. You know,
Speaker 3: I'll spend a whole year on a particular kind of plant,
Speaker 3: just learning and learning and learning all I can about
Speaker 3: that plant, and then the next year try something else.
Speaker 3: It doesn't have to be twelve months, but you get
Speaker 3: the idea and you just you just build, you build
Speaker 3: out your knowledge. Maybe you're really into African violets, or
Speaker 3: maybe you don't even know how to spell African violet,
Speaker 3: we'll start messing around. Learn about them, get one, play
Speaker 3: with it, try to propagate it. Things like that makes
Speaker 3: gardening really fun. Well in Chenni Garden's got you covered
Speaker 3: on all that. They're on the FM. They're on FM
Speaker 3: three point fifty nine on the Katie fullsher side of Richmond.
Speaker 3: You can go to in Jennigardens Richmond dot com and
Speaker 3: find out more. But the main thing is just go
Speaker 3: and today would be an outstanding day to get out
Speaker 3: and pay them a visit. Let's head out now to Spring,
Speaker 3: Texas and we're going to visit with CR this morning.
Speaker 3: Hello CR, Welcome to garden Line.
Speaker 6: Yeah, suir, hey, good morning.
Speaker 3: Morning.
Speaker 6: All right, So I have a question, So what do
Speaker 6: you recommend as far as getting rid of the armadillas
Speaker 6: that are tearing up your lawn that are coming in
Speaker 6: and your flower beds. How do you get rid of
Speaker 6: the armadillos.
Speaker 3: There? There's there's not simple ways to do it. They're
Speaker 3: there because there's soft soil with earthworms or grubs or
Speaker 3: other things they're interested in eating. That's what they like,
Speaker 3: is those little soft bodied critters like that in the soil.
Speaker 3: That's why they root around looking for them. So what
Speaker 3: sometimes people say, well, you know, kill the grubs and
Speaker 3: they won't have anything to be Well, actually they will
Speaker 3: still they'll be earthwork. If you're watering and it's moist,
Speaker 3: you're gonna have earthworms and other things for them to
Speaker 3: look for. Plus it's easier to root their little nose
Speaker 3: through soft dirt than hard concrete clay. Uh. So that
Speaker 3: that leaves us CR with with capturing in a live
Speaker 3: trap and taking them somewhere else, relocating them to another location.
Speaker 3: The the those live traps can be baited.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 3: There's a public if you go to the Texas Wildlife
Speaker 3: Damage Management Service publications they're at I can tell you
Speaker 3: how to get to them in just a moment. But
Speaker 3: there's one on Armadilla's and it shows you how to
Speaker 3: set up a live trap. And basically what you've got
Speaker 3: is two boards to funnel the armadilla into the trap.
Speaker 3: They're bumbling little creatures, and so usually they go alongside
Speaker 3: the house or along a fence or something. You know,
Speaker 3: they tend to kind of not just wander aimlessly all
Speaker 3: through the yard, but they tend to have a way
Speaker 3: they travel, and you can sort of set up that
Speaker 3: those boards coming like a v outside out of that
Speaker 3: trap and lead them in. If you will take elbow
Speaker 3: macaroni like mac and cheese macaroni and just boil the
Speaker 3: macaroni and beef bull yon. It's like you've created some
Speaker 3: little grub like creatures by doing that, and you can
Speaker 3: drop one here, drop one there. Don't get them too
Speaker 3: full before they get in the trap, but you can
Speaker 3: lead them right into the live trap that way, and
Speaker 3: it makes it a little easier to catch them.
Speaker 8: That's a good idea.
Speaker 3: Okay, if you go to a website, yeah, the website
Speaker 3: is Agrolife.
Speaker 2: Learn A g R I L I F E learned
Speaker 2: dot t A m U dot d U t A
Speaker 2: m U dot e d U is like Texas A
Speaker 2: and M university dot e d U, like all university
Speaker 2: websites in dot ed U.
Speaker 9: Okay, okay, all right, that was very helpful.
Speaker 6: I appreciate it. Thank you.
Speaker 3: Okay, good luck with that one. Appreciate your appreciate your call.
Speaker 3: Excuse me, alrighty uh yeah. Interesting thing what to do
Speaker 3: with armadillas. As a kid, we used to chase them
Speaker 3: and try to catch them. You could outrun them, but
Speaker 3: about the time you tried to stoop down and then
Speaker 3: they they get away from you again. And if you
Speaker 3: ever grab one by the tail, good luck. They're not light.
Speaker 3: Their tail is kind of tapered, so you're trying to
Speaker 3: hold onto it and it's slipping out of your hands.
Speaker 3: I don't know what we were going to do with
Speaker 3: them when we caught them, but we caught them, and
Speaker 3: then we kind of realized we didn't have anything to
Speaker 3: do with them, so let them go catch and release.
Speaker 3: You know, we are in nesting season still for many
Speaker 3: of our songbirds. I've got I have some swallows, barn swallows,
Speaker 3: that are nesting underneath our front porch, and we let
Speaker 3: them do that. We just love them. We love the
Speaker 3: songs that they little chirping sounds that they make there.
Speaker 3: I don't know if song is a good way to
Speaker 3: describe it, but we like them. And when the babies
Speaker 3: get old enough, they sit up on the edge of
Speaker 3: the nest and there's not likely have little wide fat
Speaker 3: smiles and you can look out the window and see them.
Speaker 3: But anyway, this is the time when a lot of
Speaker 3: birds are nesting, and the folks at wild Birds Unlimited
Speaker 3: have a perfect blend of seeds to provide all kinds
Speaker 3: of birds, many many kinds of birds what they need
Speaker 3: this Season's called Nesting Super Blend. You're only going to
Speaker 3: get it at Wildbird's Unlimited. Now. You can buy it
Speaker 3: in loose bags to put in any kind of feeder
Speaker 3: you got, and it also comes in seed cylinders that
Speaker 3: are compressed, And so if you're going to go on
Speaker 3: a little trup, a seed cylinder is a nice way
Speaker 3: to go because the birds kind of have to peck
Speaker 3: at it to get it out of there. It slows
Speaker 3: them down just a little bit. I mean, they'll clean
Speaker 3: I've got boy now that birds have found my feeders,
Speaker 3: they just are like lined up and waiting and so
Speaker 3: they will clean me out pretty quick here. So anyway,
Speaker 3: I like the seed cylinders too. Now there are six
Speaker 3: Wildbirds Stores Wilbirds Unlimited stores here in the greater Houston area.
Speaker 3: So you can find Wildbirds Unlimited in Kingwood. You can
Speaker 3: find Wildbirds Unlimited in clear Lake or in pair Land
Speaker 3: in Houston on the west side, when the southwest I
Speaker 3: both are bel Air and Memorial Dry both have wild
Speaker 3: Birds Unlimited stores. And then in Cypress on Barker Cypress
Speaker 3: that is another of the six wild Birds Unlimited. You
Speaker 3: can go to w b U dot com, w b
Speaker 3: U dot com forward Slash Houston to find the wild
Speaker 3: Birds Unlimited store near you. Let's head out now to
Speaker 3: a task casita and we're going to talk to Jim. Hey, Jim, good.
Speaker 10: Morning, Good morning, sir, thank you so much for taking
Speaker 10: a call.
Speaker 11: UH.
Speaker 10: Today's aeration day, going to errate the yards, all right,
Speaker 10: and we want we want to get with some of
Speaker 10: those weeds that are there facts a lot of beads
Speaker 10: and we want to feed the grass and what combination
Speaker 10: should we use today?
Speaker 3: All right? So are you going to do compost top
Speaker 3: dressing also or just aerration.
Speaker 10: Uh, just aerration.
Speaker 3: Okay, So you want to air rate and then you
Speaker 3: want to put down a barricade. Barricade from Nitrofoss is
Speaker 3: a weed prevention. Now have if you have you used
Speaker 3: barricade this spring already you.
Speaker 10: Know haven't used it, but okay I mentioned it last
Speaker 10: week also and just wondering.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, well I just asked because you don't want
Speaker 3: to overdo anything, including barricade. So if you haven't used
Speaker 3: it yet, go ahead and put down barricade according to
Speaker 3: the label. Don't overdo it. The label amount is the
Speaker 3: right amount. You go underdo it or overdo it and
Speaker 3: you have problems, get as even of a spread as
Speaker 3: you can and then water it in with about a
Speaker 3: half inch of water. And this is after you've erated. Okay,
Speaker 3: you can put the barricade down. And if you haven't
Speaker 3: fertilized this year, you could also fertilize this year. And
Speaker 3: so if you wanted, you know, something that's going to
Speaker 3: be slower released to carry you through summer, that would
Speaker 3: be a good choice. Right now, I talk about the
Speaker 3: Nitrofoss superturf in the soilber bag is an excellent product
Speaker 3: for that. The folks at Nelson have a product that's
Speaker 3: called Bruce's Brew, and it is a combo. It gives
Speaker 3: you some fast release, so you can get a good
Speaker 3: quick boost, but then it spreads out where you're gonna get,
Speaker 3: you know, several months of feeding out of it over
Speaker 3: time too, so that's a good option as well. They're
Speaker 3: both on my schedule. And then water with about a
Speaker 3: half inch of water just to move the barricade into
Speaker 3: the soil surface and the fertilizer dissolve it and get
Speaker 3: it going down into into the soil a little bit,
Speaker 3: start to get it.
Speaker 10: Which can we get to Nelson brew?
Speaker 3: The Nelson Bruces Brew is widely available. I don't have
Speaker 3: right in front of me a list of everybody that
Speaker 3: carries it, but I bet I could pull one up
Speaker 3: here if I If I try, I'll see if I
Speaker 3: can get one up before we're done here. But anyway,
Speaker 3: there it's pretty widely available as well. Let's see you're
Speaker 3: calling from out at the task Asida. You might try.
Speaker 3: You've got some ACE hardware stores around you. I would
Speaker 3: I would probably give that one a try, and see
Speaker 3: ACE usually carries a pretty wide variety of things, and
Speaker 3: unfortunately it's gonna take me a while to find. I
Speaker 3: tell you what I'll do. We're gonna take a break
Speaker 3: here in a little bit and I will find some
Speaker 3: sources of Nelson plant food in the task Asta area.
Speaker 3: And I'll just say I'm on the air for you
Speaker 3: when we come back. How's that?
Speaker 10: Thank you, sir?
Speaker 3: Alrighty good? Well, you take care and I do appreciate
Speaker 3: your call. All right, We will be back in just
Speaker 3: a moment with that. Yeah, Nelson Bruce's Brew is an
Speaker 3: outstanding product. That combo of immediate release and slow release
Speaker 3: is good. It's got carbon nitrogen, carbon based nitrogen sources
Speaker 3: that also help beat microbes that are there present in
Speaker 3: the soil as well. It was time for me to
Speaker 3: take a break. We'll be back with your calls. If
Speaker 3: you would like to be one of the first up
Speaker 3: seven one three two one two kt r H. Now
Speaker 3: would be a good time to give us a call.
Speaker 3: All right, folks, welcome back to garden Lines. In answer
Speaker 3: to Jim's call, where to find Nelson plant food products
Speaker 3: like Russus Brew out in that area. Ace Hardware a
Speaker 3: task Asita on timber forest in Humble, Texas. Jim Ace
Speaker 3: Hardware a task Asita on timber Forest and Humble. They
Speaker 3: carry according to their website, Nelson's website, they carry the
Speaker 3: some of the Nelson plant food products. So that hopefully
Speaker 3: gets you off to a good start. Let's see here,
Speaker 3: We're going to go out to Brunham now and talk
Speaker 3: to Rodney. Hello Rodney, and welcome to garden Line. Thanks Jip.
Speaker 12: I'm having a problem with some first year guardena's. They
Speaker 12: bloom and the yellow the leaves.
Speaker 3: Are turning yellow.
Speaker 13: I have fed.
Speaker 12: Acid loving plant food, you know, water regularly. I just
Speaker 12: it just seems like from the get go the leaves
Speaker 12: started turning yellowing.
Speaker 3: Rodney, is it the leaves that at the ends of
Speaker 3: all the shoots that are yellowing or is it the
Speaker 3: leaves that are older further back the shoot that are yellowing?
Speaker 13: On you, I think it's it's it looks like out
Speaker 13: toward the ends.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, that is that is typical of iron deficiency.
Speaker 3: Iron deficiency can be caused by a lack of iron
Speaker 3: in the soil, but it can also because by high
Speaker 3: phos lack of iron in the soil. But you may
Speaker 3: have enough iron in the soil, but it's tied up
Speaker 3: because either the pH is high or the phosphorus is high.
Speaker 3: That's the middle number phosphorus. Now you mentioned you're using
Speaker 3: acid living fertilizer or as fertilizers for acid living plants.
Speaker 3: That's a good thing. You may need to use a
Speaker 3: keylated form of iron. Keylate is c A E L
Speaker 3: A t E. It's like it's it's spelled like chi late,
Speaker 3: but it's pronounced key late. It is an iron that
Speaker 3: has a little bodyguard around it that keeps the soul
Speaker 3: from tying it up so fast. I would try that
Speaker 3: and see if you see some benefits a little quick
Speaker 3: green up from that. Other longer term would be maybe
Speaker 3: continuing to use your acid loving plant fertilizers, but maybe
Speaker 3: even a little bit of sulfur to lower the pH
Speaker 3: of the soil. Just want to be real careful with that.
Speaker 3: If you wanted to send me a picture so I
Speaker 3: could look at it and make sure that what I'm
Speaker 3: picturing is what you're seeing, I'd be happy to take
Speaker 3: a look at it too. Where will the time that
Speaker 3: the key lated, You're going to find it all over
Speaker 3: the place. Any place that's you know, really into gardening,
Speaker 3: the independent garden centers, your ace hardware stores. A. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you're out there in Brenhams, so you know you're gonna
Speaker 3: find it, you know, if you if you can find
Speaker 3: a nice hearder, they probably have a keylated form out there.
Speaker 3: Plants and things on a Highway three sixty five might
Speaker 3: have it. I've been by there to check for that.
Speaker 3: But they carry a lot of things out there, and
Speaker 3: I know they carre some of our sponsor products at
Speaker 3: plant Plants and things as well by skip. I appreciate it,
Speaker 3: all right, sir, you take care. Thanks for the call.
Speaker 3: That is the case RCW Nurseries RCW Nursery is it's
Speaker 3: I love that garden center. I just first of all,
Speaker 3: I like the convenience of it. It's it's local. It's
Speaker 3: right where Tomo Barkway two forty nine comes into a eight,
Speaker 3: so it's really easy to get to. When you go
Speaker 3: to RCW, you're going to find everything that you're looking for.
Speaker 3: And they've got a Memorial Day sale that begins, well
Speaker 3: it has begun, and ten percent off all the krpe
Speaker 3: myrtles and roses ten percent off. So now they're a
Speaker 3: great time and it's still time. Get them in the ground,
Speaker 3: get them watered in, just help them along a little
Speaker 3: bit as the weather worms up. They'll be fine. Twenty
Speaker 3: percent off of their metal yard art, and that includes
Speaker 3: those metal arbors, metal benches, trellises to grow things on.
Speaker 3: Those are gorgeous. And they have other kinds of little
Speaker 3: metal yard art, you know, hangs on the walls, decorative.
Speaker 3: It's is really beautiful stuff. So stop by RCIW this
Speaker 3: weekend and take advantage of some of those Memorial weekend savings.
Speaker 3: And boy did they ever have an outstanding selection of
Speaker 3: crate myrtles. And remember when you buy a crate myrtle
Speaker 3: from Marcy W or wherever you get a crate myrtle,
Speaker 3: by the size that you want, don't you know? Natchez
Speaker 3: is a great beautiful crpe myrtle, wonderful tree disease resistant,
Speaker 3: thirty feet tall, beautiful white flowers and cinnamon colored bark.
Speaker 3: I love it. But if you've got a spot where
Speaker 3: you need a ten foot crpe myrtle, don't put natches
Speaker 3: in there. Get you one that only gets smaller ten
Speaker 3: field there, crpe myrtle to get three feet high there,
Speaker 3: Cramerle's get thirty feet high. Pick a good one, and
Speaker 3: boy does our CW have an outstanding selection for you.
Speaker 3: Just run by there and check it out again. Talmball
Speaker 3: Parkway be Way eight, RCW nurseries dot com. Let's go
Speaker 3: now out to New Caney. We'll visit with Armando there. Armando,
Speaker 3: Welcome to garden Line. Good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 5: Sent you his photos yesterday showing my Saint Augustine grants
Speaker 5: that have put down about three weeks ago, and about
Speaker 5: a week ago is started browning in the area and
Speaker 5: I keep watering it and I got bad information on
Speaker 5: how to fix it because the person didn't know what
Speaker 5: he was talking about. But anyway, I sent you those
Speaker 5: photos hoping you could help me out there.
Speaker 3: I'm looking for it. There we go. I think I
Speaker 3: found you, all right, Oh, yes, I see I remember
Speaker 3: looking at those. Yeah. It's a little hard to tell
Speaker 3: specifically what's going on. First of all, what's the deal
Speaker 3: with that green line? Is that a fertilizer line alongside
Speaker 3: the driveway.
Speaker 14: Picture?
Speaker 3: Or is that green weeds?
Speaker 5: Probably weeds?
Speaker 3: Okay, So that grass was was real new, as you indicated,
Speaker 3: and grass during the first day, two week to two
Speaker 3: weeks has got to be kept consistently moist. And that's
Speaker 3: not just a once a day. It's because the grass
Speaker 3: has very little soil at all, and it's sitting now
Speaker 3: on top of your soil. And if it set on,
Speaker 3: let's say you had dead weeds or dead grass underneath it,
Speaker 3: sometimes the roots can't get contact with the soil underneath,
Speaker 3: and it's it's difficult for them to get rooted in well,
Speaker 3: or at least quickly. I would recommend watering twice a day,
Speaker 3: And it looks to me like it could have been
Speaker 3: that before the grass could get roots down, it went
Speaker 3: through a dry period. And sometimes that's when it's sitting
Speaker 3: at wherever you bought the grass, you know, before you
Speaker 3: picked it up, it was already going in distress. Sometimes
Speaker 3: it's when you get at home and the process of
Speaker 3: getting it planted. But last time I planted grass, I
Speaker 3: even was squirting a little bit of water on the palletts,
Speaker 3: just because there were a couple of pallets we hadn't
Speaker 3: gotten to yet, and I was keeping them moist. I
Speaker 3: put it down, and as soon as I can, I
Speaker 3: start putting little water on it just to help it.
Speaker 3: And then, like I usually tell people, twice the day
Speaker 3: the first week, once a day the second week, just
Speaker 3: as a general guy. Depends on the temperature and whether
Speaker 3: it's sun or shade, of course, but it looks like that.
Speaker 3: It also could be some takeoll root rot involved. But
Speaker 3: this happened so fast that I don't think unless it
Speaker 3: was already going downhill from take all, I don't think
Speaker 3: that happened at your house because of how.
Speaker 5: Fast it stopped. The palants that I've been buying have
Speaker 5: been real good crash and this is just the one
Speaker 5: incident where this happened. And I'm saying, what the hell
Speaker 5: you know? Yeah, so yeah.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I think because of the speed of it,
Speaker 3: I'd chalk it up to somehow that it's it got
Speaker 3: a little bit too stressed.
Speaker 15: Yeah, because.
Speaker 5: Before you know, laying the sod down. But uh and
Speaker 5: I thought I had wanted regularly enough, but apparently not. Okay, well, uh.
Speaker 3: Well, I'll deal with it without a without a crystal
Speaker 3: ball and being able to go back in time and
Speaker 3: see the whole process from when they had it at
Speaker 3: the garden center. You know, I can't really tell you
Speaker 3: for sure, but that's my best guess.
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, sir, goodness, thank you for you all.
Speaker 3: Right, Hey, thank you so much. I appreciate appreciate your
Speaker 3: call very much. Good to talk to you.
Speaker 14: Uh.
Speaker 3: The folks at Peerscapes had had the ability to turn
Speaker 3: whatever you've got in to a magical kingdom outdoors. I'm
Speaker 3: telling you they do. Go to the website and see
Speaker 3: what I'm talking about. Pierscapes dot com, piercescapes dot com.
Speaker 3: You can give them a call and just get started
Speaker 3: right now. I mean you go in, show them pictures
Speaker 3: what you got, talk to them about you know, what's
Speaker 3: the next step. How do we do this? Their designers
Speaker 3: can get involved if that's what you need. Maybe you
Speaker 3: just want to do some rock borders or some walkways.
Speaker 3: Maybe you got a drainage issue, maybe you need irrigation fixed,
Speaker 3: or you want to hire them for a quarterly service
Speaker 3: to make your place constantly look good. Every three months.
Speaker 3: They come out, they moltch, they take out the weeds
Speaker 3: if there are any. They make sure the irrigation's working.
Speaker 3: You know that fresh mult on the silt. They replace
Speaker 3: color bed color if it's time for that. So you're
Speaker 3: transitioning from one season to another, Pierscapes will keep your place.
Speaker 3: Let's put it this way. They'll make your place look
Speaker 3: good and they'll keep your place looking good. They can
Speaker 3: do both. Pierscapes dot Com. I'm going to take a
Speaker 3: little break now and when we come back, Jim and Spring,
Speaker 3: you'll be our first up. Welcome back to the garden line.
Speaker 3: Good have you with us? Hey, how can we help
Speaker 3: you have a better place and more fun gardening? You
Speaker 3: tell me, give me a call. Let's let's do that.
Speaker 3: Gardening is supposed to be fun and we want you
Speaker 3: to have success. That's what we're here about. Part of
Speaker 3: that is, for example, in containers, having several things. Number one,
Speaker 3: a container that has good drainage holes. Drainage is critical.
Speaker 3: Now I've grown things without good drainage tools before, especially
Speaker 3: indoor because I totally control the water. But you get outside.
Speaker 3: We had some succulence and a container outside underneath and
Speaker 3: let's say a porous ceiling, you know, like an arbor
Speaker 3: top with some plants on it. And I'm telling you,
Speaker 3: we got rain and rain and rain, and they drowned
Speaker 3: because they didn't have good internal drainage. The soil held
Speaker 3: too much. It wasn't gritty enough. I guess for them,
Speaker 3: and there wasn't enough drainage holes. Well, if you got
Speaker 3: the container that has good drainage hools, then a soil
Speaker 3: that holds water some but drains very well is important.
Speaker 3: And jungle land flour and vegetable planting soil distributed by
Speaker 3: nitro Foss is a quality product that will do just
Speaker 3: those two things above. You can find it at Lakeward
Speaker 3: or Hardware in Angleton, which is north of Glasco. Down
Speaker 3: there in Angleton you go up to Sagemont m and D.
Speaker 3: Beamer on Beamer that area and there's also a Fisher's Hardware.
Speaker 3: I'm at Bellevue on FM thirty one eighty where you're
Speaker 3: going to find Nitrofoss products. Let's head out to Spring
Speaker 3: and we're going to visit with Jim. Hello, Gum, and
Speaker 3: welcome to garden line.
Speaker 16: How you doing, Yeah, I question, good question. The last
Speaker 16: two seasons my yard has really done great. It's been
Speaker 16: dark green, nice and big. Is the Saint Augustine grass
Speaker 16: and I talk about yard of the month, typical stuff.
Speaker 16: And for some reason this year when Breen came around,
Speaker 16: half of my yard there's dark green and the other
Speaker 16: half is brown spots. And I'm talking about major brown spots,
Speaker 16: and it's almost like a disease that's taken over my yard.
Speaker 16: I've never experienced this, and it's gotta be going nuts
Speaker 16: because I've done everything right. I've fertilized every year and well,
Speaker 16: in fact, the last two seasons, I really haven't had
Speaker 16: to fertilize because it's been so dark and green and thick,
Speaker 16: watered every day. And the only thing I did different
Speaker 16: was towards the end of the season last year, I
Speaker 16: put down a fertilizer because I had some weeds coming up,
Speaker 16: and I didn't use the typical fertilizer like I've always used.
Speaker 16: And this year it's just wiped out half of my yard.
Speaker 16: It's brown and I'm pulling my hair out. I don't
Speaker 16: know what's going on.
Speaker 3: Can you describe the brown spots to me in terms
Speaker 3: of size and shape and and do they do they
Speaker 3: progress or does it just appear and then it you know,
Speaker 3: it doesn't spread after that.
Speaker 16: Well, it's it's spread it over The next half my
Speaker 16: yard is green, half of it is brown. And they're great,
Speaker 16: they're great, big spots. I mean, we've raked up the
Speaker 16: brown stuff and a bunch of dead weed or dead
Speaker 16: grass that we raaked up. We put them in bags,
Speaker 16: and now it's just like dirt, a little bit of grass.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's okay, it's very very extreme.
Speaker 16: I just don't know what I did wrong.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, the problem in me helping you with it
Speaker 3: is I can't see what you're describing. Based on what
Speaker 3: you're saying and the extents of it, it sounds to
Speaker 3: me like it could be a disease called take all
Speaker 3: root rot. I have information on take all root roight
Speaker 3: on my publication on lawn Problems, the lawn Schedule that
Speaker 3: deals with weeds and diseases and insects. Uh, And so
Speaker 3: you you might take a look at that and see.
Speaker 3: I think the best way that I can help you, Jim,
Speaker 3: is for you to take some pictures. Let me see
Speaker 3: the whole on and then get up as close as
Speaker 3: you can, make sure it's in good sharp focus. Attach
Speaker 3: the photos to the to the email so that I
Speaker 3: can zoom in really good and look. Uh. And let
Speaker 3: me take a look at those, and I'll give you
Speaker 3: a better answer than me just shooting from the hip
Speaker 3: here with my best guests being take all root right
Speaker 3: as being a likely cause that I can't be certain
Speaker 3: about that at all, based based on just kind of
Speaker 3: the description of dead spots.
Speaker 17: O good, all right, I.
Speaker 3: Understand. Well let's get to the bottom of it. So
Speaker 3: so we don't waste your time and money on something
Speaker 3: that's you know, shooting at the wrong problem. Uh, I'm
Speaker 3: gonna put you on hold. I'll handro pickup and he'll
Speaker 3: get you an email to send me that information and
Speaker 3: thank you for that call. I'm talking about Spring. Spring

Speaker 3: you want the sod that is absolutely, fresh absolutely dug
Speaker 3: that morning. Fresh you want to put, it put the
Speaker 3: side pieces down on prepared soil that means its holes
Speaker 3: have been filled in that there's no weeds that are

Speaker 3: do you? Do, well you, know you spray them. Again
Speaker 3: and then they did it three times to make sure
Speaker 3: they've got it all under. Control then the sod went
Speaker 3: in on top of. It that is an important first
Speaker 3: step is get rid of perennial weeds. First your options

Speaker 3: Beth welcome to Garden.
Speaker 18: Line good, Morning.
Speaker 19: Skip thank you so much for all the help you.
Speaker 19: PROVIDE i have another question about my apple, trees AND
Speaker 19: i hope y'all aren't getting tired of hearing about my apple.
Speaker 18: TREES i really appreciate the.
Speaker 19: Help i've sent you a couple of pictures of a
Speaker 19: green apple tree THAT i, have and you, KNOW i
Speaker 19: just planted them last, year so they've only been in
Speaker 19: the ground a. Year but it has something going on
Speaker 19: with the bark in it in the in the trunk
Speaker 19: of it that is the same thing that was happy
Speaker 19: and with the red delicious that you know, dye and
Speaker 19: SO i just wanted to check it if it was
Speaker 19: some kind of insect or or what what you thought of.
Speaker 3: It, Okay i'm trying to take a look at the
Speaker 3: pictures as we speak. Here describe to me what it
Speaker 3: is that you're seeing As i'm getting these opened. Up
Speaker 3: what is it about the photo that's concerning?
Speaker 19: You so in the, trunk it's like it's got an
Speaker 19: abrasion on the, Tree but there's there's nothing going on
Speaker 19: around these trees that would hit it or upbraze it
Speaker 19: or anything like. That they're in they're in hogwarre, fences
Speaker 19: so individual, senses so there's. Nothing it's, protected but it's
Speaker 19: like it's like the bark it's there's it's just like
Speaker 19: one little section of the bark that's got it's all roughed,
Speaker 19: up you. Know it's it looks like it's on a,
Speaker 19: brak but it's not Really.
Speaker 3: Okay, well the photos are all kind of shot from
Speaker 3: the same angle in the same, place so looking at,
Speaker 3: THEM i can't really zoom in enough to see real,
Speaker 3: well but WHAT i see looks to me like it's
Speaker 3: either a, canker which is a little disease that can
Speaker 3: attack the trunk and kill some of the. Tissues there's
Speaker 3: not a spray for. Cankers you just get the tree
Speaker 3: as vigorous and healthy as you, can and it closes
Speaker 3: over that. Wound as it, grows it just kind of
Speaker 3: just closes it back over. Again that's that's probably my
Speaker 3: recommendation to, you based on WHAT i can see in
Speaker 3: the photos from the photos you sent, ME i wish
Speaker 3: there was a spray we could put on, it but,
Speaker 3: yeah so just take care of.
Speaker 19: It, yeah it's leaping out really, well so hopefully it.
Speaker 19: Will it'll dry then and THEN i did have one
Speaker 19: more question for you to. Find, yeah, sure SO i
Speaker 19: have a red roam that is got cute as little
Speaker 19: baby apples on, it and so it's it's doing. Well
Speaker 19: AND i know you always, recommend you, know for the
Speaker 19: first couple of years to to cut off the, fruit
Speaker 19: SO i will do. That BUT i just have an interesting,
Speaker 19: question and is there like a trunk, size a minimum
Speaker 19: trunk size that you would want to have before you
Speaker 19: let the apples grow.
Speaker 3: For a couple of, years you, Know so it's it's
Speaker 3: kind of a it's kind of let them be on
Speaker 3: the ground for a few, years, uh you. Know AND
Speaker 3: i try to find a happy medium because people want
Speaker 3: to try an. Apple but you, know if in the
Speaker 3: second year you want to leave it to let it
Speaker 3: have an apple or two just so you can have
Speaker 3: something to, taste that's that's. Fine but in, general the
Speaker 3: energy that goes into growing that fruit would be going
Speaker 3: into growing a bigger tree that'll have more fruit the next.
Speaker 3: Year so as you leave, fruit what you're doing is
Speaker 3: limiting in a more than like if you leave one,
Speaker 3: fruit you're losing more than one fruit the next, year
Speaker 3: you know What i'm, saying because you would have gotten
Speaker 3: a lot more branches that could have held several more
Speaker 3: fruit and that's why early in the life of a
Speaker 3: fruit tree we say pull the branches. OFF i mean
Speaker 3: pull the fruit, off not the.
Speaker 15: Branches, okay, yeah, okay thank, you.
Speaker 3: All, Right, beth good luck with. That and just watch
Speaker 3: those spots on the apple. Trunk if it gets, worse
Speaker 3: take some close up pictures and good sharp focus and
Speaker 3: send me some different angles on. It BUT i think
Speaker 3: we've covered it. Enough BUT i just leave the door
Speaker 3: open if you need to resend some more. Later all,
Speaker 3: right thank you for the. Call very. Much good to
Speaker 3: visit with you and enjoy a chance to kind of
Speaker 3: hopefully help out little bit with what we're. Doing you,

Speaker 3: barricade down and you watered in with just a little
Speaker 3: bit of water third of an inch maybe half an inch, Maybe,
Speaker 3: uh it goes into the sole surface and it sticks
Speaker 3: there and it it adheres to the soil. Particles and
Speaker 3: if it didn't do, that if it just washed, through
Speaker 3: then it wouldn't be up there to fight the weed.
Speaker 3: Seeds germinating near the. Surface so that's how it. Works.
Speaker 3: Uh now that's WHY i say if you overapply it
Speaker 3: and then gully water it, in gully washer water it. In,
Speaker 3: yeah you can get some down in roots and maybe
Speaker 3: have some, issues but just do it right and you
Speaker 3: should be okay on. That all? Right what was the fire?

Speaker 3: in Wood forest if we can get to. That all, right,
Speaker 3: folks welcome back to Guard. Line glad you are with us. Today.
Speaker 3: Listen plants for all. Seasons they are easy to. Find
Speaker 3: you just go Up Tomball. Parkway when you get To,
Speaker 3: luetta you exit cross Over luetta and it's just about
Speaker 3: a block north or less than a block north Of
Speaker 3: luetta right there on the right hand, side going toward tunnel.
Speaker 3: Direction Plant Troll seasons has an outstanding selection of all
Speaker 3: kinds of. Plants right. Now they have a really nice
Speaker 3: selection of different kinds of. Gingers you, know there's a
Speaker 3: number of different kinds of ginger out there that you
Speaker 3: can purchase the hidden. Gingers they call them that because
Speaker 3: they have, big, old, large almost cannon like, leaves if
Speaker 3: you know what can of leaves look. Like but then
Speaker 3: kind of down in the plant a little bit are
Speaker 3: these beautiful spike ballooms that are just. GORGEOUS i mean
Speaker 3: it's not like they're, hidden you can't see, them but
Speaker 3: instead of sticking them way up on top like a butterfly,
Speaker 3: ginger they're kind of down in the plant a little.
Speaker 3: Bit and they have a number of different beautiful new
Speaker 3: breeding lines that have been released over the past years
Speaker 3: that are just. Gorgeous when you're, there you're going to
Speaker 3: find a selection of some really cool pottery that they've
Speaker 3: got In they have really nice large. Pots and remember
Speaker 3: when you're potting up here In, texas especially for, summer
Speaker 3: you need a bigger pot than you think you. Need
Speaker 3: just get a bigger one because you need to hold
Speaker 3: a lot of, soil and that soil can hold a
Speaker 3: lot more. Water, therefore so those plants are going to
Speaker 3: be much more resilient having a good access to. That of,
Speaker 3: Course plants for All seasons has a great selection of
Speaker 3: plants for pollinators as. Well it's a full service Garden,
Speaker 3: center family owner and operated since nineteen seventy. Three plants
Speaker 3: For All seasons dot com two, eight, one, three, seven,
Speaker 3: six sixteen forty. Six we're going to go now to
Speaker 3: Wood forest area and talk To. Robert, Hello, Robert welcome
Speaker 3: to Garden.
Speaker 20: Line good, morning. Sir SO i have children that live
Speaker 20: over In kingwood and they have some old growth, azaleas
Speaker 20: and my, wife, okay love to grow azaleas in Wood,
Speaker 20: forest which is obviously vast different Than. Kingwood so, okay
Speaker 20: we had we had a couple of them out, there
Speaker 20: but they've not bloomed in about three. Years so is
Speaker 20: there some BETTER i don't know how to even, ask
Speaker 20: but the generic azalea that would grow in the proper you,
Speaker 20: know acidic. Condition then another.
Speaker 3: Yeah, uh well are you in in Wood? Forest is
Speaker 3: in on the east side just inside the?
Speaker 20: Beltway, no, no, no We're conroe would forged oh By.
Speaker 3: Conrad, Okay, so so azalias want bright, light but they
Speaker 3: don't want direct sun all. Day they can take a
Speaker 3: tad bit of, it you, know but in general they're
Speaker 3: an understory for us plant and so they they do
Speaker 3: you need good. Light so if they don't have enough,
Speaker 3: light they're not gonna bloom as well because it takes
Speaker 3: light to make. Carbohydrates takes carbohydrates to make. Blooms so,
Speaker 3: uh they need adequate sun light, intensity not direct sun.
Speaker 3: Necessarily they need an acidic soil and a continually moist.
Speaker 3: Soil they're not efficient at taking up. Water they don't
Speaker 3: have root hairs like a lot of plants, do and
Speaker 3: so they do need to be kept moist and out of.
Speaker 3: Stress and then as far as are your plants looking
Speaker 3: good but just not blooming or do they not look good?
Speaker 20: Either, no they look, fine it's just they won't set a.
Speaker 20: Bloom AND i know there's different kinds nowadays because of you,
Speaker 20: know genetic. Differentiations but, yes you, KNOW i just look
Speaker 20: at the stuff that they grow In kingwood AND i,
Speaker 20: think why CAN'T i do?
Speaker 8: That you?
Speaker 3: Know, yeah but maybe it Was maybe it's because they're
Speaker 3: twenty years. Old you, KNOW i don't know. Yours you're
Speaker 3: saying yours are twenty years? Old or there's In Kingdom, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: no no no.
Speaker 15: Ones.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, okay that's what you, Said. Ashley, okay, yeah,
Speaker 3: so uh so it's just a matter of a good
Speaker 3: maybe rethink the soil. Mix is? It is it well?
Speaker 3: Drained is it a raised? Bed do just have lots
Speaker 3: of acidic types of organic matter in? It and you,
Speaker 3: know get some fertilizer or some acidic loving fertilizer if
Speaker 3: you're not already using, it and use that and, UH
Speaker 3: i think it probably could be a little on water,
Speaker 3: quality but usually you'll see problems with that when it
Speaker 3: comes to burning of the edges of the leaves and
Speaker 3: some other similar. Things but you ought to be able to.
Speaker 3: Grow I'm i'm beginning to think this may be more
Speaker 3: related to. Light but you KNOW i. Can't i'm not
Speaker 3: there walking around looking at, Them So i'm having to
Speaker 3: give you my best.
Speaker 20: Shot they're underneath some pine, tree so you, Know I'm
Speaker 20: i'm Getting i'm getting the, straw of, course but uh, anyway,
Speaker 20: okay the, Light i'll give that A i'll give that
Speaker 20: a measurement and see how we.
Speaker 3: Do, yeah, okay well they definitely can grow into the.
Speaker 3: Pines so, well good luck with. IT i hope hope
Speaker 3: that helped a little. Bit if if you may want
Speaker 3: to try up in the watering a little or upping
Speaker 3: the fertilizing a little and see if maybe you can
Speaker 3: kick them into gear on that. Too that that'd be
Speaker 3: my last thoughts there on that. One, robert all, righty thank,
Speaker 3: you thank, you. Sir appreciate appreciate the call on that very. Much.

Speaker 3: Product Medina plus based on the Original Medina soil activator
Speaker 3: that many of you have used for years and know
Speaker 3: how well that. Works you're going to Find medina products
Speaker 3: widespread through our. Area most of our you, know ace hardware,
Speaker 3: stores our feed, stores our independent garden centers will Carry medina,
Speaker 3: products making them easy easy access for. Gardeners let's go
Speaker 3: up To cyprus now we're going to visit With eric
Speaker 3: a little. Bit Hey, Eric welcome to Garden.
Speaker 1: Line Hey, SKIP i got a couple of tree questions for. You,
Speaker 1: YES i talked to a tree guy, recently And i'm
Speaker 1: thinking and, thinking is it safe to trim, trees you,
Speaker 1: know in the heat of the, summer which we're kind
Speaker 1: of approaching. Anyway i've got a large water oak in
Speaker 1: my backyard in a pretty mature live oak in the,
Speaker 1: front AND i just want to make SURE i don't
Speaker 1: do any damage by trimming them or trimming them too.
Speaker 1: Much and SO i want to get your feedback on
Speaker 1: that you can.
Speaker 3: Trim you can trim them all. Summer it's better to
Speaker 3: minimize it than to do a lot of. Trimming and
Speaker 3: so have you ever seen time laps photography where they
Speaker 3: show a flower that may have taken six hours to
Speaker 3: open and it does it in six. Seconds you know
Speaker 3: What i'm. About time. Lapse so if you were to
Speaker 3: take a pruning cut and you were to watch it
Speaker 3: through the year From january To december time, lapse what
Speaker 3: you would see is in winter it's not closing at,
Speaker 3: all and then in spring it closes real, fast and
Speaker 3: then in summer it slows down to a, crawl and
Speaker 3: then in fall it speeds up a little, bit and
Speaker 3: then it shuts down again in. Winter, Okay so that's
Speaker 3: why we like to prune at the end of winter,
Speaker 3: ideally because we get the fast time of healing right following.
Speaker 3: That so you can prune though, anytime it's just not
Speaker 3: going to close as, quickly and you don't want to
Speaker 3: take out save the bulk of you're pruning for, winter
Speaker 3: and do pruning through the year as needed here and.
Speaker 1: There so when you say at the end of, winter
Speaker 1: are you saying Like February, MARCH i guess for russ.
Speaker 3: Uh no, more more like here Late january and In
Speaker 3: february you're going to be seeing growth depending on let's
Speaker 3: see where you're In. Cyprus, yeah you're going to see
Speaker 3: some growth starting In. March so, right, yeah you'd like
Speaker 3: to get it done ahead of. That here's the other.
Speaker 3: Problem in the, winter the bark is stuck tight to the.
Speaker 3: Wood when the sap begins to, flow it's real easy
Speaker 3: to strip the bark. Off and when you're, pruning you
Speaker 3: don't want a limb to fall and to rip a
Speaker 3: little banana peel section of bark with it when it.
Speaker 3: Falls so you want to use a three point, cut
Speaker 3: and you need to go look that one up. Online
Speaker 3: there's lots with a search engine you can find about
Speaker 3: three point. Cuts and we'd like to do printing when
Speaker 3: the bark, isn't as they, say, slipping it's much better
Speaker 3: to avoid it when it's.
Speaker 1: Slipping, okay So January, february that'd be a good time bark.
Speaker 3: Wise It's January, january Early february to Mid february up
Speaker 3: in your area would be fine and.
Speaker 1: Alright covering spraying the black stuff on there after you
Speaker 1: cut a, limb you, know leave an open.
Speaker 8: Wound is it don't necessary or is that?
Speaker 3: No you don't need to do. It we don't have
Speaker 3: much oak wild around. Here if your neighbors had oak,
Speaker 3: WILT i would say spray the, cuts but they probably
Speaker 3: don't because we just don't have. Much, okay thank you all, right,
Speaker 3: folks welcome, Back welcome back to the Guarden. Line good,
Speaker 3: day be with us today your Host Skip, richter and
Speaker 3: we're here to help you have a bountiful garden and
Speaker 3: a beautiful land cape and more fun in the. Process
Speaker 3: and by the, WAY i talking earlier, TODAY i was
Speaker 3: talking about being sitting outside with family, yesterday just enjoying
Speaker 3: the end of the. Day sun had gone, down so
Speaker 3: that was still you, know upper, eighties low nineties even,
Speaker 3: initially BUT i didn't feel so bad because we're just sitting.
Speaker 3: Still we got a little family put on us out
Speaker 3: there sometimes so it's a little, hotter but we enjoyed.
Speaker 3: It but you know WHAT i, noticed there were almost
Speaker 3: no mosquitoes, outside almost. Done and we had two weeks
Speaker 3: ago seven inches of rain in our. House and that
Speaker 3: means every little thing that can hold water has got
Speaker 3: a puddle of water in. It and all it takes
Speaker 3: for a mosquito to reproduce is a bottle cap full of,
Speaker 3: water literally like a thumbleful of. Water basically that is
Speaker 3: not much. Water and so there it was mosquito breeding.
Speaker 3: Season and this is the same way at your. HOUSE
Speaker 3: i mean it could be your irrigation sprinklers coming on
Speaker 3: filling up. Something it could be you water and a,
Speaker 3: plant and underneath the plant pot that little tray underneath
Speaker 3: that holds. Water mosquitos will breathe in there and they
Speaker 3: can do. That and months AGO i had Pest Bros
Speaker 3: come out and install their mosquito buckets at my. Place,
Speaker 3: now a mosquito bucket is not like this force field
Speaker 3: that goes out and kills any mosquito that flies over
Speaker 3: the fence from your. Neighbors but every mosquito the buckets
Speaker 3: draw them to the. Bucket there's an odor that you
Speaker 3: can't smell, it but the mosquitoes can and they go to.
Speaker 3: IT i never smell my head right over the. BUCKET
Speaker 3: i don't smell, anything but the mosquitoes, can and they
Speaker 3: go to. It and they land in, there and when they,
Speaker 3: land they get stuff on their, feet and that's the
Speaker 3: beginning of the end for the. Mosquito they lay eggs in,
Speaker 3: there and you see all these. REGULARS i opened the
Speaker 3: bucket lid the other day covered with the regulars little
Speaker 3: tomato mosquito larva in, there and they were just going to.
Speaker 3: Town but those larva will never turn into an adult
Speaker 3: mosquito because that bucket won't it's got stuff in it
Speaker 3: won't let. Them but the fact that they're, there that
Speaker 3: stagnant water brings more mosquitoes in and the odor so they,
Speaker 3: land they get stuff on their. Feet that does two.
Speaker 3: Things one of them is a disease of. Mosquitos and
Speaker 3: that mosquito's got about a week to live before it'll
Speaker 3: take it. OUT i. BELIEVE i believe a week is
Speaker 3: correct on. That but you don't want to kill them right,
Speaker 3: there because you want them to fly off and go
Speaker 3: to other places where they will lay eggs in other
Speaker 3: bits of, water and by this stuff they carry with
Speaker 3: them on their, feet mosquitoes can't grow in that water.
Speaker 3: Either and it just, works, Well, yeah you want that
Speaker 3: mosquito going around everywhere there's stagnant. Water you want a
Speaker 3: mosquito from one of your buckets to go, there and
Speaker 3: it just causes this suppression of mosquitos through the whole
Speaker 3: airt and it doesn't kill every mosquito there. IS i,
Speaker 3: mean nothing's going to do. That you get you a
Speaker 3: foger out there and nuke your house and yard every,
Speaker 3: day and you're still gonna have mosquito to fly in
Speaker 3: whenever the mist settles from the. Fogger, okay But i've
Speaker 3: never seen anything like. IT i, mean last night was
Speaker 3: the first time we saw a few mosquitos, around just a. Few.
Speaker 3: Uh AND i don't like the in the. FOGGERS i have.
Speaker 3: One i've used, it and when we're gonna have a
Speaker 3: party with people out and. Stuff in the, PAST i
Speaker 3: would get it out because you, know you know how
Speaker 3: bad mosquitoes can. BE i Know i'm droning on about,
Speaker 3: this BUT i was just really really impressed with the
Speaker 3: way this worked and that Pest. Bros is that the
Speaker 3: folks that brought it. Out Pest. Bros covers the whole.
Speaker 3: Area and they don't just do. Mosquitos they cover the
Speaker 3: area From baytown all the way across To, katie From
Speaker 3: Texas city all the way up to the. Woodlands you
Speaker 3: need termite work, done they're experts at. That you, need you,
Speaker 3: know indoor treatment of indoor, past you got fire ants,
Speaker 3: outside they do it. All Pest. Bros the website is
Speaker 3: the Pest bros B. Ros thepest bros dot com two eight,
Speaker 3: one two oh six forty six seventy two eight one
Speaker 3: two o six forty six. SEVENTY i Know i'd droned
Speaker 3: on about the mosquito, thing but, LISTEN i have had
Speaker 3: so many suffering summers with mosquitoes that anything that reduces
Speaker 3: them is. Helpful and this is this works really. WELL
Speaker 3: i can deal with a, FEW i, mean Because i'm
Speaker 3: not willing to pay the environmental cost of constantly nuking
Speaker 3: every bush and shrub and part of my. Property but,
Speaker 3: boy does this ever? Work? Well all, right well there you.
Speaker 3: Go can you Tell i'm excited about? IT i. Am
Speaker 3: let's head out To dickinson and we're going to talk To. Linda, Now, Hey,
Speaker 3: linda welcome to Garden. Line good.
Speaker 15: MORNING i, HAVE i think you some pictures of yellowing
Speaker 15: spots in my, grass and the grass is actually dying
Speaker 15: in those.
Speaker 3: Spots, YES i got, THOSE i sure did the. Pictures
Speaker 3: it doesn't look really that one picture is a distant.
Speaker 3: One it's kind of out of, focus BUT i can
Speaker 3: see THE i can see some a lot of browning
Speaker 3: leaves in. It and then and the close up shows
Speaker 3: some of the grass dying back WHEN i. Look WHEN
Speaker 3: i zoom in on that close up, One, LINDA i
Speaker 3: see some gray leaf spot AND i think that's the
Speaker 3: primary thing that you've got going on based on just
Speaker 3: that close up, picture BECAUSE i can't make out detail
Speaker 3: on the other. One gray leaf spot causes gray spots
Speaker 3: on the, leaves and if you look close you'll see
Speaker 3: some on, there and then the grass blades will often.
Speaker 3: Die the tip turns, brown sometimes the whole grass blade
Speaker 3: turns brown and it just looks like dying. Out but
Speaker 3: that grass will regrow, fresh healthy. Leaves the more you
Speaker 3: can minimize how much of the time the leafs the
Speaker 3: grass blades spend, wet the. Better the wetter it, is
Speaker 3: the more gray leaf spots you're going to. Have you
Speaker 3: can treat it with a product From nitrofoss Called Eagle
Speaker 3: Turf Fungicide eagle like the. Bird but at this, STAGE
Speaker 3: i don't. Know you could go ahead and do a
Speaker 3: treatment on, it or you could just kind of wait
Speaker 3: and see and if if you go through perags of rainy,
Speaker 3: weather it's going to be. Worse but as it heats
Speaker 3: up and gets a little drier on, US i think
Speaker 3: you're going to see it naturally reduce it as.
Speaker 15: Well, okay thank, YOU i appreciate.
Speaker 3: It all, Right we'll keep us posted if you see
Speaker 3: any other problems in, it just let us, say we
Speaker 3: can take a look at other. Pictures all, right you take,

Speaker 3: go out to cove now and talk with Rufous, Hey,
Speaker 3: Rufus welcome to Garden.
Speaker 10: Line Martin.
Speaker 13: Skift can you hear?
Speaker 15: Me?
Speaker 3: Yes all, right YES i. CAN i.
Speaker 13: Good i've got these thornless BLACKBERRIES i. Planted some's been
Speaker 13: in ground two three. Years those have been around six seven.
Speaker 13: Years And i've noticed something THAT i THINK i should
Speaker 13: have cut off about months. Ago these things started putting
Speaker 13: on a shooter coming out of the main portion of
Speaker 13: the root, system and at FIRST i thought it was
Speaker 13: just putting on more. Vines but this thing is, massive
Speaker 13: kind of reminds me of the shooter that comes out
Speaker 13: of a century. Plant AND i was, wondering is this
Speaker 13: the end of the life of this BlackBerry or SHOULD
Speaker 13: i now at?
Speaker 3: All that's just, now that's just a, big, strong upright growing. Cane,
Speaker 3: okay it's got leaves on, it.
Speaker 13: Right that's it just.
Speaker 8: Leaves.
Speaker 3: Yeah so so here's here's how all blackberries. Grow that
Speaker 3: they send up a shoot out of the base out
Speaker 3: of the soil, typically and it grows the first, year
Speaker 3: and it may branch the first year. Too the second
Speaker 3: year it produces berries and then it slowly. Dies so
Speaker 3: once you've harvested a shoot coming up out of the,
Speaker 3: ground go ahead and cut it off because it will
Speaker 3: not bear again after that winter time that it went. Through,
Speaker 3: yes so the first year we call them a primocine
Speaker 3: prime is in one year number. One then they go
Speaker 3: through winter and they become a. Floricane, now some of
Speaker 3: the thornlets like what you're talking, about they will produce
Speaker 3: in the primacine year the first, year but after the
Speaker 3: second year they need to be. Removed and so those
Speaker 3: shoots are. Fine WHAT i would do rufus is once
Speaker 3: it gets up to about chest, HIGH i would pinch
Speaker 3: the top out or snip the top out of, it
Speaker 3: and it'll force more side. Shoots and those side shoots
Speaker 3: will be where you get all your your, fruit the
Speaker 3: primary fruit from. Those so time to some people put
Speaker 3: a wire across. There, pardon.
Speaker 14: You're right, AGAIN i, have.
Speaker 13: BUT i haven't caught them.
Speaker 3: Yet.
Speaker 13: YEAH i left them long BECAUSE i didn't want to
Speaker 13: damage because the fruit came on so. Prolifically it's just.
Speaker 3: Massive that's, Fine but that's. Fine get the ones that are.
Speaker 3: Fruit tell me the tell me the. Name tell me
Speaker 3: again the name of the.
Speaker 13: VARIETY i Have, apache and Some navajo and.
Speaker 8: Some uh what's the other? One god there they're Native indian.
Speaker 8: Names but but, yes.
Speaker 3: Those are all. Bread.
Speaker 13: YEAH i have a patch off that have fruit on.
Speaker 13: It now when the summer's.
Speaker 3: Over, With if on The apache and on The, navajo
Speaker 3: they're not going to bear. Again so once they, fruited
Speaker 3: you cut them. Off then you take those vigorous shoots
Speaker 3: that you've been talking about and you lift them up
Speaker 3: and tie them to the. Wire it's good to have
Speaker 3: a vertical, WIRE i mean a horizontal wire going, about you,
Speaker 3: know about chest high or, something and you can tie
Speaker 3: them to, that tip them and then they'll they'll produce
Speaker 3: their side, shoots which will produce next year's crop for.
Speaker 3: You if it's some if it's one of the the
Speaker 3: everbearing and not ever. Bearing if it's one of the
Speaker 3: primate cane, bearers then you get a little bit the
Speaker 3: first year, too and then you can also have some
Speaker 3: the second. Year but generally blackberries producing the second year
Speaker 3: that a shoot has, grown and then it will not
Speaker 3: refruit after. That, okay good luck with, those have. FUN

Speaker 3: they're located corner Of Tombo parkway and, beltwaita let's go
Speaker 3: to fulsher now and we're going to talk To. Scott, Hello,
Speaker 3: scott welcome to Garden. Line Good, lawren thanks for having.
Speaker 13: Me, HEY i got a question regarding. FURTIGATION i was
Speaker 13: driving home AND i THOUGHT i had.
Speaker 21: This great idea to purtilize through my sprinkler. System AND
Speaker 21: i started doing research on, it and it looked like
Speaker 21: they were doing it in the eighties for quite a,
Speaker 21: while and it really fell off the. Map and SO
Speaker 21: i was, wondering after doing some research and, forums why
Speaker 21: we don't use it in The houston. Area are if
Speaker 21: the benefits and it did benefits of using.
Speaker 8: It down, here.
Speaker 3: You're referring to the furtigation. Specifically, yes, yeah furtigation is
Speaker 3: a process that is best used for fine tuning the
Speaker 3: timing of nutrient. Applications so if you needed to get
Speaker 3: plants real quick nitrogen, boost you could do it through
Speaker 3: a dissolved nitrogen source in your irrigation. Water that's for those,
Speaker 3: listening that's what furtigation. Is it's fertilizing in the. Irrigation
Speaker 3: that's where the word furtigation comes. From if you had
Speaker 3: like an iron, deficiency you, know maybe you would put
Speaker 3: something in for. That as far as what do you
Speaker 3: pay per pound of, nutrient it's a much more expensive
Speaker 3: way to. Fertilize you, know it's less expensive to put
Speaker 3: a dry granule on the, surface work it, in and you,
Speaker 3: know fertilize that, way the traditional. Way there's nothing wrong
Speaker 3: with the. Furtigation you just need to have an injector
Speaker 3: that puts it out at the right, rate not too,
Speaker 3: strong and you need to have a backflow preventter so
Speaker 3: that when it goes, off sometimes there can be a
Speaker 3: backflow into your your water system and then you would
Speaker 3: have contaminated your water with that fertilizer. Water so there's
Speaker 3: a breaker valve that prevents the back. Flow you need
Speaker 3: to have that for. Sure but the some injectors force
Speaker 3: the fertilizer into the irrigation system like with a, pump
Speaker 3: and some of them use something called a venture system
Speaker 3: whereas the water flows, by it just naturally pulls a
Speaker 3: little bit of the fertilizer water into. It those are less,
Speaker 3: expensive much less technical to deal, with but not as
Speaker 3: controllable and accurate as a pump system would.
Speaker 21: Be, okay, thanks Kip.
Speaker 13: YE i WAS i was wondering if you know they
Speaker 13: if they need The venturi.
Speaker 21: System they do it drip almost and it's like a
Speaker 21: microdosing of fertilizer.
Speaker 8: Constantly but, yes you know when we.
Speaker 21: Do, It, yeah we'll do it once or twice the
Speaker 21: summer and then the.
Speaker 13: Wintertime and you, know is it is it possiful.
Speaker 15: To do something like?
Speaker 13: That and will it hurt your flower?
Speaker 3: Beds, no it won't. Hurt IF i were spraying it
Speaker 3: onto the foliage of, THINGS i wouldn't be real crazy
Speaker 3: about spraying a fertilizer onto the foliage if it got too.
Speaker 3: Strong but if it's in a proper. Rate that would
Speaker 3: be just. Fine you can certainly do. That the other
Speaker 3: thing to keep in, mind you, know when you're doing
Speaker 3: the furtigating is just make sure it's small doses over.
Speaker 3: Time and, yeah the venturi is it's a little typically
Speaker 3: it looks like just a little section of plastic that
Speaker 3: has a hose that comes out of, it and you
Speaker 3: have a five gallon bucket with your fertilizer in. It
Speaker 3: you drop that hose into the five gallon bucket and
Speaker 3: as the water flows by in your, irrigation it just
Speaker 3: pulls it out of the. Bucket that's the simplest.
Speaker 5: System, okay thank you very.
Speaker 3: Much, yeah just make sure and get fertilizer that's made for,
Speaker 3: that because a lot of fertilizer comes in a clay
Speaker 3: based particle and other, things and you don't want stuff
Speaker 3: like that clog in your. System, okay that'll do, it, Alrighty,
Speaker 3: YEAH i haven't had a fertile furtigation question in a long.
Speaker 3: Time it was. Good good to get one of those.
Speaker 3: Nitropas superturf is the silver bag that you see in feed.
Speaker 3: Stores you see it in ase hardware, stores you see
Speaker 3: it In southwest. Fertilizer you see it in garden, centers
Speaker 3: our independent garden centers around. Town Nitroposs superturf nineteen four,
Speaker 3: ten silver bag feeds for sixteen. WEEKS i don't know
Speaker 3: what else to say about. It it's the way to
Speaker 3: fertilize your lawn in the summer is slow. Release that's the.
Speaker 3: Way and superturf is exactly.
Speaker 9: That.
Speaker 3: Superturf you put it down and if you do it
Speaker 3: now and return your, clippings your next fertilization will be this.
Speaker 3: Fall we're to point now where super turf will carry
Speaker 3: in with the return clippings and you'll be just fine
Speaker 3: all the way going into. Fall you're going to find
Speaker 3: it at a number of places LIKE Rcw nursery Carries
Speaker 3: Nito fass products the plants for all. Seasons On Tomball
Speaker 3: parkway right there just north Of lueta carries Night fosh,
Speaker 3: products d and de, feed And tomball carries night To fresh,

Speaker 3: the compost top, dressing the core, aeration that combo it
Speaker 3: feeds the soil biology by and it aerates the sort
Speaker 3: it breathes life into the, soil if you, will because
Speaker 3: it pops the plugs out of the, ground and then
Speaker 3: the compost stop dressing some of that falls into those holes,
Speaker 3: too and it just it's what makes golf courses do
Speaker 3: aerration all the. Time if you've got an area that's
Speaker 3: got a lot of foot, traffic especially that soil, compaction
Speaker 3: the roots can't get oxygen and then they can't take
Speaker 3: up nutrients and they can't develop a good deep root,
Speaker 3: system and it just fixes. That that's why it's so
Speaker 3: cool to do the. Correration in graenpro green, protexts they do.

Speaker 3: free weekend at all our garden, centers including A Moss
Speaker 3: nursery and Garden. Center we're going to head now out
Speaker 3: to The woodlands and talk To. Jeanette, Hello, Jeannette welcome
Speaker 3: to Garden. Line, hi good.
Speaker 22: Morning my question IS i have a willow oak tree
Speaker 22: that is approximately one hundred feet.
Speaker 15: Tall and when it gets, dry it limbs break off and.
Speaker 23: Drop and this is a really big tree and really large,
Speaker 23: limbs AND i just want to know WHAT i can
Speaker 23: do to help with.
Speaker 10: That not.
Speaker 3: Much maintaining adequate soil moisture helps a little, bit But
Speaker 3: southern limb drop in the summer is a very peculiar.
Speaker 3: Phenomenon there's different speculations as to why it. Happens but
Speaker 3: you can have a perfectly still day in the middle
Speaker 3: of summer and a limb just snaps out of a
Speaker 3: tree and. Falls it's a weird, deal but it you,
Speaker 3: know what is in your power is to make sure
Speaker 3: the tree doesn't get drought. Stressed sometimes it's associated with
Speaker 3: maybe an injury to the trunk or a bore inside
Speaker 3: or something that's weakening the, limb but not. Necessarily sometimes
Speaker 3: you look at the fallen limb and you can't figure
Speaker 3: out what. Happened it's not rotten, inside it just it
Speaker 3: just does. It, unfortunately we don't have a spray or
Speaker 3: a magical cure to make it go.
Speaker 24: Away that's exactly What i've been experiencing FOR i don't
Speaker 24: know ten or more.
Speaker 23: YEARS i have been watering it around the trunk to help.
Speaker 3: It then that seems to be uh huh. Successful, yeah all, Right,
Speaker 3: well you, know don't just water at the trunk, though
Speaker 3: water out as far as the branch. Spread and when you,
Speaker 3: water do a good. Skin you don't have the water every.
Speaker 3: Day you don't have to water every week even but
Speaker 3: if ever weeks during hot summer, drought you could give
Speaker 3: a soaking of about an inch or more of water
Speaker 3: all through that area beneath the branch, spread a good deep,
Speaker 3: soaking then that will. Help all, Right, yeah all, right
Speaker 3: thanks so. Much all, right you, bet you. Bet you take.
Speaker 3: Care we're gonna go To andy now In college. Station, Hey,
Speaker 3: andy welcome to garden. Line, hey thanks so.
Speaker 11: Much you long story, short top seeded top, tops put
Speaker 11: sand dirt saying top soil all over the. Yard and
Speaker 11: then about two weeks AGO i seated from you to
Speaker 11: grass all over and we went to the producers co
Speaker 11: opt to do.
Speaker 15: That it's been two.
Speaker 11: Weeks no grass does it sometime it takes longer than?
Speaker 12: That or is it all or?
Speaker 18: Not or?
Speaker 3: What, well like any, seed whether it's a vegetable or
Speaker 3: a weed or a desirable plant like your bermuda. Grass your,
Speaker 3: plant it it just has to stay moist consistently in
Speaker 3: order for it to. Germinate so you don't want to
Speaker 3: mix the seed in too. Deep just scratch them barely
Speaker 3: into the, surface water them in real, well and keep
Speaker 3: it moist as best you. Can so you don't want
Speaker 3: to put on an inch of, water but you want
Speaker 3: to put on small amounts frequently to maintain. Moisture once
Speaker 3: the seed starts to, germinate if it dries, out it.
Speaker 3: Dies so that's the key early on with a little
Speaker 3: tiny seed like your bermuda, grass is to keep it
Speaker 3: consistently moist equi. Moist and then once it gets, established
Speaker 3: then we begin to wean back to watering very. Infrequently
Speaker 3: those first weeks you just need to, yeah several. Weeks,
Speaker 3: yeah once it, germinates it's gonna need at least another
Speaker 3: couple of. Weeks a pretty GOOD tlc there to keep it.
Speaker 3: Going and hope we don't get a gully. Washer what
Speaker 3: usually happens when you seed out bermuda as you get
Speaker 3: a gully washer and then it washes all the seed
Speaker 3: off into one spot and so you got a real
Speaker 3: furry spot on the ground and then a spout. Nothing
Speaker 3: Uh so that's what we like to try to avoid
Speaker 3: if we.
Speaker 11: Can that's WHY i waited till after we got that
Speaker 11: five minutes rang about a month.
Speaker 3: Ago, yeah, yeah well thank, you that's right tomorrow. Weekend
Speaker 3: yeah you as. Well thanks a. Lot appreciate the. Call,
Speaker 3: Andy you take care up. There say hi to them
Speaker 3: at producers for. Me all, righty, well there you, go. Folks,
Speaker 3: uh that is the thing On it's one REASON i
Speaker 3: don't recommend seating for turf lawns most more number, one
Speaker 3: most of our, goods most of our good southern. Species
Speaker 3: there's not a good seed option. Permuta there. Is that's
Speaker 3: an exception terms of seed, options but it's a little
Speaker 3: hard to get it going and get. Success a lot
Speaker 3: cheaper than. Sodding but uh yeah to more of, it
Speaker 3: more of a. Challenge, hey the folks At arburgate are
Speaker 3: loaded for bear when it comes to all kinds of
Speaker 3: things that you're going to want a. Plant remember this

Speaker 3: and we'll get you off to a really good. START
Speaker 3: i was talking earlier about putting in a new lawn
Speaker 3: and the importance of getting red of perennial weeds. FIRST
Speaker 3: i don't care if it takes three or four weeks
Speaker 3: to get it. Done whatever it, takes get it. Done
Speaker 3: no nut's, edge no bermuda, grass no perennial weeds, underneath
Speaker 3: because they're going to pop right through and then it's
Speaker 3: harder to deal with them in the. Lawn the other
Speaker 3: thing to, remember get your lawn area leveled, out bring
Speaker 3: in some, soil smooth it out a little, bit get
Speaker 3: it leveled out really. Nice and before you put on the.
Speaker 3: SOD i usually about a day BEFORE i put on,
Speaker 3: side will water it pretty, good not to turn it
Speaker 3: into a mud, swamp but just to moisten. It allow
Speaker 3: it a day or two to kind of soak, in
Speaker 3: and then lay your sod and begin watering. Immediately immediately means.
Speaker 3: Immediately last TIME i put in, SID i hadn't put
Speaker 3: in probably twenty feet of, it AND i already have
Speaker 3: somebody squirting it with water to just to hold on
Speaker 3: because that sod doesn't have hardly any root, system and
Speaker 3: that little narrow strip of black, clay soil or, sand
Speaker 3: depending on where you buy, it that it came in.
Speaker 3: On you got to keep that plant alive til it
Speaker 3: gets roots in the. Ground so to make it over
Speaker 3: simple in the heat of summer in the, sun twice
Speaker 3: a day the first, week once a day the second.
Speaker 3: Week i'm not talking about putting an inch of water
Speaker 3: on twice a. Day that'd be what fourteen inches a. Week,
Speaker 3: no you don't have to do. That you just wet
Speaker 3: it a little bit and then wet it again later
Speaker 3: in the. Day the next, day wed it a little,
Speaker 3: bit good, morning early, morning mid, afternoon do it, again
Speaker 3: and then back off to once a. Week now in
Speaker 3: shade or when temperatures are, cooler not as, critical but
Speaker 3: it's still as very important if you want. Success all, right,

Speaker 22: the best way to treat that to to print it
Speaker 22: so THAT i can.
Speaker 3: Get the most budge and flowers this. Summer, yeah in the,
Speaker 3: area probably, dies it dies to the, ground, Right, yes
Speaker 3: just cut it off a few inches above the, ground
Speaker 3: just just a couple of inches above the, ground and
Speaker 3: it'll come back out from the base and a whole
Speaker 3: bunch of isshoots out as it has for you each,
Speaker 3: year you know, that. Right that's. It then then once it's,
Speaker 3: growing you don't need to do additional. Pruning you can
Speaker 3: cut back on them some but most people just let them.
Speaker 3: Grow and the hibiscus as long as it's, growing it's
Speaker 3: producing clusters of buds as you've seen each, summer and
Speaker 3: it just each bud is open for a, day, right so.
Speaker 22: After they, BLOOM i don't dead ahead it or. Anything
Speaker 22: it will it produce more flowers after. That so once
Speaker 22: it goes, through its, cool it's finished.
Speaker 3: Blooming yeah, Nothing, yeah that's. Correct that, okay, yeah, no
Speaker 3: nothing to do that cluster just they all take their
Speaker 3: turns and. Uh but you know what a cool thing
Speaker 3: you can do with, it, though is if you will
Speaker 3: pick them when they're almost fully opened in the morning
Speaker 3: and put them in the. Refrigerator they will sit there
Speaker 3: until the evening and not with her. Up you can
Speaker 3: put them in you can put a little shallow bowl
Speaker 3: of water in, there but you don't need, to and
Speaker 3: you bring them out and if you have an evening,
Speaker 3: gathering you can set them around on tables without water
Speaker 3: and they just look beautiful for a good while in the. Evenings,
Speaker 3: otherwise by evening the bloom would have already been curling
Speaker 3: up and not looking so. Good so that's just a
Speaker 3: little tip.

Speaker 3: richmond And type Two. Frauda hello For hannah Regard.
Speaker 25: Line thank you, sir good money. LEARNING i have a,
Speaker 25: question and thank you for taking my phone. CALL i
Speaker 25: appreciate THAT.
Speaker 7: I purchase a house back in twenty twenty.
Speaker 26: Three it's a brand new. HOUSE i have a. Tree
Speaker 26: it's a small tree in my front. Chart but since
Speaker 26: twenty twenty, THREE i do not see that tree is.
Speaker 26: Growing it's still, green but it's not it's not REALLY
Speaker 26: i think it's it's.
Speaker 7: Not going or say something.
Speaker 18: WRONG i asked my gardener.
Speaker 26: And he put some fertilizer in.
Speaker 9: It so that's help.
Speaker 26: It and it's becoming more blooming and more green and.
Speaker 26: Green but it's still love without is? It is it?
Speaker 9: Really you?
Speaker 1: Know is it?
Speaker 6: Growing so can you advise?
Speaker 15: Me so.
Speaker 3: For, hanah tell me what kind of tree it is
Speaker 3: do you happen to.
Speaker 26: Know i'm so.
Speaker 3: Sorry, now that's, okay that's. Okay here's the. Thing it
Speaker 3: could be a lack of, moisture and it could be
Speaker 3: a lack of. Nutrients fertilizing is always a good, idea
Speaker 3: but watering during, hot dry weather is even more important
Speaker 3: to get a tree to grow. Fast another thing that
Speaker 3: speeds up growth is to get the grass and weeds.
Speaker 3: Away if you can create a mulched bed around. It you,
Speaker 3: know if you can only make it two feet out
Speaker 3: from the, trunk that's. Fine if you can make it,
Speaker 3: wider that's even. Better but that helps speed. Growth sometimes For,
Speaker 3: hana trees sit in the pot too long and the
Speaker 3: roots go around and around in, there and then when
Speaker 3: you put them in the, ground if you don't cut those,
Speaker 3: roots they they don't unwind underground and they don't venture
Speaker 3: out into the soil as well as they would had
Speaker 3: they been cut or not left in the pot so.
Speaker 3: Long at the garden centers and, growers but that could
Speaker 3: be the case with, IT i, would you, know it's
Speaker 3: kind of hard to say without me digging it up
Speaker 3: and looking at, it BUT i would try the. MULCHING
Speaker 3: i would try making sure it's getting out of quate.
Speaker 3: Water and if you wanted to take a hand, trowel
Speaker 3: let me ask you. This do you remember when it
Speaker 3: went in the ground in twenty twenty? Three do you
Speaker 3: remember about how big that pot?
Speaker 20: Was?
Speaker 3: Is are we looking at like a five gallon bucket
Speaker 3: or we looking at a one gallon? Tree or were
Speaker 3: looking at something much? Bigger i'm not.
Speaker 26: Sure if you, LIKE i can take some pictures to.
Speaker 3: You, yeah you can do. THAT i, would you, KNOW
Speaker 3: i would take a hand, trowel dig around the, tree
Speaker 3: look for roots going in a, circle and if you see,
Speaker 3: them cut, them cut a few of. Them but right,
Speaker 3: NOW i think the most important thing is going to
Speaker 3: be multing it to keep the weeds away the competition
Speaker 3: down watering it second most important, thing, watering, watering watering
Speaker 3: during dry hot, weather and then finally continuing to. Fertilize
Speaker 3: if you have lawn, fertilizer and you put about two
Speaker 3: cups for every inch of trunk, Diameter so if that
Speaker 3: tree was the size of a, broomstick you, know then
Speaker 3: maybe an inch, wide then it would get two cups of.
Speaker 3: Fertilizer if it's the size of a soft drink, can
Speaker 3: A Coca cola can that's about three inches, across so
Speaker 3: that would be six cups of, fertilizer but not dumped
Speaker 3: at the, bottom but spread in a big circle around.
Speaker 7: It, okay, Okay.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to have to, run BUT i do
Speaker 3: wish you. WELL i need. TO i need to run

Speaker 3: welcome to Garden.
Speaker 27: Line, hey how you doing.
Speaker 3: Doing? Good how can we help? Today?
Speaker 27: Uh i'm interested in buying a kumquat. Tree at the
Speaker 27: POT i was eating kumquats off a wild once And
Speaker 27: Hugh development came in and took it. Out, No AND
Speaker 27: i don't. KNOW i think the ONE i was eating
Speaker 27: was a. Nagami it was a little, tart but it
Speaker 27: was really. Good BUT i understand the knee walls are.
Speaker 27: SWEETER i don't know If i'd like that as much or.
Speaker 27: Not i'm probably gonna have to try a couple of to.
Speaker 27: Compare but, Anyway i'm going to buy one or the.
Speaker 27: OTHER i don't know where to buy. Them what the,
Speaker 27: pottom how the pottom or anything?
Speaker 13: Else can you give me some?
Speaker 10: Information all?
Speaker 3: Right? Well to buy? Him just tied right up To Moss.
Speaker 3: Nursery head up To Moss nursery And. Seabrook that's where
Speaker 3: you find. Them they're going to have them up. There
Speaker 3: if you have trouble finding them. There you can go
Speaker 3: down To Jorg Hidden gardens down Between alvin And Santa
Speaker 3: fe call, first but they're probably are going to have
Speaker 3: them down there as. Well Both maiwa and nagame are
Speaker 3: both good. Varieties one is more, round one is more.
Speaker 3: Oval but you, know with, kumquats it's the skin that
Speaker 3: is the primary thing we're interested in. Eating it's very,
Speaker 3: tasty makes good marmalade and all of. That you want
Speaker 3: to put it in soil that has got good organic
Speaker 3: matter content worked. In if drainage is at all a,
Speaker 3: question build a raised mound so it doesn't stay soggy,
Speaker 3: wet fertilized, moderately and they're one of the heartiest citrus
Speaker 3: you can, grow so you shouldn't have any problem in
Speaker 3: your area growing them. Successfully, now How.
Speaker 27: I'm going to put it in a pot BECAUSE i fled,
Speaker 27: here so that that's not good for. It SO i
Speaker 27: want to be able, to, okay you, know put them
Speaker 27: on a higher level or bring them. In how how
Speaker 27: big do they? Get is there a difference in size
Speaker 27: between in the gammi and The.
Speaker 3: No not, really not not. Much they do grow in a,
Speaker 3: pot but you need as big a pot as you
Speaker 3: can get so think in terms of the volume of
Speaker 3: a half whiskey. Barrel but don't put them in a wooden.
Speaker 3: Pot they'll rot. Out it'll rot. Out but about a
Speaker 3: half whiskey barrel in, size you're gonna need to use
Speaker 3: a dolly with a little strap around the pot to
Speaker 3: move it at that. Size but that way you'll get
Speaker 3: more of a plant that's less likely to be constantly
Speaker 3: drought stressed from being in too small of a. Pot,
Speaker 3: okay all, right, Sir i'm Gonna i'm gonna need to
Speaker 3: run to some pardon.
Speaker 27: Any any other advice on it is type of pinting
Speaker 27: soil to.
Speaker 7: Put, in.
Speaker 3: You, know a good quality in a big pot like.
Speaker 3: THAT i would probably use a rose. Soil it would
Speaker 3: work real well for, that excuse. Me but any kind
Speaker 3: of blend made for a container or a bed that's
Speaker 3: not too chunky would be good for. That and then
Speaker 3: fertilize them with a good citrus. Food the folks At
Speaker 3: Nelson Plant food have the jars of products for citrus and,
Speaker 3: fruit and that would be a good one to. Use And,
Speaker 3: CARL i got to run got some folks in line,
Speaker 3: here but good. LUCK i wish you well with. That,
Speaker 3: hey if you haven't been To Buchanans plants in The

Speaker 3: To seabrook now and talk To. Lisa, Hello, Lisa, HELLO
Speaker 3: i have a.
Speaker 7: QUESTION i would like to get a small tree that
Speaker 7: has white flowers from our front yard for a project we're.
Speaker 7: Doing we had looked at the little gym, magnolia but someone, said, well,
Speaker 7: no it still gets about thirty five.
Speaker 14: Feet it's a big.
Speaker 7: Tree so do you know of any small tree and?
Speaker 7: Else don't mention The chinese.
Speaker 3: Fringe chinese fringe is. Wonderful it gets medium size in,
Speaker 3: time but it grows kind of. Slow BUT i like.
Speaker 3: It it depends on your soil and the site as
Speaker 3: to how big it's going to. GET i typically it
Speaker 3: should be about a twenty five foot tree under great
Speaker 3: conditions in, time not a lot bigger than that most
Speaker 3: of the. Time you're going to keep it twenty or
Speaker 3: under most of the time on. Them it just depends
Speaker 3: on growing. Conditions then there are some dwarf or semi
Speaker 3: dwarf types of crape myrtle that don't there's crape myrtles
Speaker 3: that don't get twelve fifteen feet. Tall that would be
Speaker 3: another tree that you could consider if you want to
Speaker 3: go that. Route chinese, fringe, THOUGH i like it a.
Speaker 3: Lot it's a beautiful spring.
Speaker 7: Bloomer do you prefer The american fringe Over chinese frange
Speaker 7: or do you see a difference than them growing?
Speaker 3: Here, well people that are into native plants go With
Speaker 3: american fringe are much. Showier on A chinese, fringe they're much. Showier,
Speaker 3: Okay so there's not a right or. Wrong most, people you,
Speaker 3: know they want the, flashy pretty and SO i usually
Speaker 3: Say chinese. Fringe But american fringe is a good native.
Speaker 3: Tree it's just the blooms are not as white and
Speaker 3: showy as on A chinese.
Speaker 7: Fringe and is there a dwarf magnolia that's shorter than
Speaker 7: a little?
Speaker 2: Gem not?
Speaker 3: Really, no not not really that would that would not do.
Speaker 3: It were you wanting this tree for? Flowers are you
Speaker 3: wanting it just for?
Speaker 13: What?
Speaker 3: Evergreen or certainly not Show.
Speaker 7: At that, side the whole front yard is going to
Speaker 7: be just white. Flowers everything is white and. Green and
Speaker 7: SO i just, Thought, OKAY i like, MAGNOLIA i like to,
Speaker 7: leave BUT i don't want anything that's.
Speaker 28: Huge, yeah there are, some there are some other white blooming,
Speaker 28: trees BUT i don't think anything's going to stay the
Speaker 28: size you want dependently that's truly that.

Speaker 23: up and it, splits and it's two different. Trees do
Speaker 23: you understand WHAT i?
Speaker 3: Mean? Okay AND i will what? Size the size of
Speaker 3: those two trunks bigger than.
Speaker 23: They're they're twenty plus years, old so they're pretty. BIG
Speaker 23: i would, say maybe it's hard to tell exactly how
Speaker 23: big they. ARE i can't wrap my hands around.
Speaker 13: Either. Women let's put it that.
Speaker 3: Way, Okay so here here's the here's the bottom. Line
Speaker 3: anytime you it gets that far along before you make the,
Speaker 3: cut there's gonna be a big section of exposed interior
Speaker 3: wood way before it can heal and close or close
Speaker 3: over that, Wound you're gonna end up with decay going.
Speaker 3: On so the base of that tree is gonna be
Speaker 3: weaker than the rest of the, tree which means during
Speaker 3: a decade down the, line during a good, storm it's
Speaker 3: more likely to snap. Off. There there's nothing you can
Speaker 3: do to fix it or prevent. It there's no sense
Speaker 3: in painting the cut that only actually makes it low
Speaker 3: worse in terms of not rotting. Inside so you just
Speaker 3: have to make your best. CHOICE i would go with
Speaker 3: the you, know whichever one is a little, bigger maybe
Speaker 3: or pointing in the direction you need it to, point
Speaker 3: if one leans away from the house versus toward, it for,
Speaker 3: example go with the one leaning away just in.
Speaker 23: Case, okay so you're, saying go ahead and cut, it
Speaker 23: but leave the bigger.
Speaker 10: One is that my?
Speaker 3: Understanding if. Possible, yeah all things being, equal leave the bigger.
Speaker 3: One all things being, equally lead the one leaning away
Speaker 3: from the, house those kinds of. Things but that's that's
Speaker 3: kind of the situation you're. In there's there's no magic
Speaker 3: cure on this. One, okay, okay.
Speaker 23: YEAH i figured.
Speaker 16: That but the all right one THAT i want to
Speaker 16: get rid of is over my.

Speaker 15: Help?
Speaker 3: Hello Can?
Speaker 9: Amy, yes, sir, okay, YES i just got a quick
Speaker 9: question about a. Vtext so right, NOW i have been
Speaker 9: in this house for a. WHILE i don't know really
Speaker 9: how old the vitext, is but it's about four or
Speaker 9: maybe five feet away from the, house and it's big
Speaker 9: enough to where the majority of the foliage is above
Speaker 9: a one story, house right and AND i want it
Speaker 9: there BECAUSE i want the shade because it's a really
Speaker 9: hot side of the house AND i want some shade
Speaker 9: during the hot. Summers And i'm, wondering do you think
Speaker 9: there's any problems that could get run into as far
Speaker 9: as like the roots damaging the.
Speaker 3: Foundation, no here's what. Happens it's not that the roots
Speaker 3: are going to lift up and crack your foundation like
Speaker 3: roots can do a. Sidewalk what happens is tree. Roots
Speaker 3: and it doesn't have to be a tree wrap beside your.
Speaker 3: House it could be a tree halfway across the. Yard
Speaker 3: the roots find that, nice, moist shady spot and they
Speaker 3: proliferate there because the water runs off the, roof there's
Speaker 3: plenty of, moisture and they pump the soil dry during
Speaker 3: hot dry, periods and that wetting and, drying that shrinking
Speaker 3: and swelling of the, soil that's what causes foundation. Problems
Speaker 3: so your, vitex if it's given you, shade you're. Okay
Speaker 3: you just may have to water a little extra in
Speaker 3: there just to take care of. It but, YEAH i
Speaker 3: think in this, case just a little extra water if
Speaker 3: you want to have if you want to talk to
Speaker 3: someone about. It you, know the experts are fixed my
Speaker 3: Slab Foundation, repair which like me to give you a
Speaker 3: number for them so you could talk to them about.
