The 6 00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:19.800 Green Country Gardner Program with our expert learning class is 7 00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:24.320 brought to you by Green Colum Nursery and Greenhouses United, Reynolds, 8 00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:30.679 Kelly Banks, Tree Service, Roman's Outdoor Power Accent, Pest Control, Ascension, 9 00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:51.960 Saint John, Jane Phillips and Gateway First Back. Good morning, 10 00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:54.240 good morning, good morning, welcome, welcome, welcoma this time now 11 00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:58.719 for the Green Country Gardener Program. And our phone line 12 00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:02.799 is open at seven three six. I'm Tom Davis. I 13 00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:05.959 just dance the phones around here. And he is Larry Glass. 14 00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:07.439 He's our expert. He knows things. 15 00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:13.959 How you doing, Larry? Okay? Well right, yeah? Interesting? 16 00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:16.879 Whether we've been having here some moisture, we've been getting 17 00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:18.200 some of that. It looks like we're going to get 18 00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:24.239 some wintry uh, wintry garbage. 19 00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:27.040 Wintry garbage. Not a mix. I can't work out on that. 20 00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:30.760 So what so what what how we how are we 21 00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:32.799 addressing you this time of year? I know there's a 22 00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:35.280 lot of things that we can do a lot of 23 00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:37.480 things we just need to kind of prepare ourselves for. 24 00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:42.079 So where are we, Well, we're we're in Bartlesville. 25 00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:46.680 Oh yeah, I mean on the lawn and garden count guard. 26 00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:52.040 Well, he took his medicine today. This is kind of no. 27 00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:58.359 I don't take any medicine anyway, at a turning point 28 00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:02.319 right now. Yeah, And we had one day of seventy degrees. 29 00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:05.079 Oh yeah, it was nice and the phone never stopped ringing. 30 00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:09.719 I bet, what do we need to plant? 31 00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:10.080 That was. 32 00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:15.800 Truly February. Actually, February is one of our snowier months, 33 00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:18.719 it is. I noticed that I remember a few years 34 00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:22.319 ago February the eleventh, I remember that we had what 35 00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:24.360 three hundred inches of snow or something. 36 00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:28.159 Yeah, it was it was a good storm. Yeah, we 37 00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:30.120 were out driving around at it. We're the old people 38 00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:33.520 on the road. 39 00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:35.439 Why is it that the first thing people do it 40 00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:36.520 snows to go driving? 41 00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:41.360 Well, because I actually Susie does the driving. I've got 42 00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:45.599 the the go to work, the Facebook, the Facebook live thing, 43 00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:46.960 and we always do. 44 00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:48.240 The road conditions. Okay. 45 00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:52.319 So, and she was born and raised in Green Bay, Wisconsin, 46 00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:54.599 and she's got maybe a little bit of a dge 47 00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:57.039 on folks when it comes to driving in such conditions. 48 00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:00.919 We had that snow. I pushed an ambulance out with 49 00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:02.280 your truck, all mighty. 50 00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:05.919 Yeah, Larry's got this truck from the seventies and that 51 00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:06.680 is the truck. 52 00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:13.680 Almighty. I helped him get out to get unstuck. Leave 53 00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:19.840 it to Chicago boys. That's quite a deal. But anyway, 54 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:25.960 despite our weather, the soil moisture content is really good. 55 00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:29.599 That's great. That's that's the big plus. Right at the 56 00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:32.159 point where Harry at the winter and it's getting ready 57 00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:34.840 to drop off in the spring order to go up 58 00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:39.400 in whatever. So now it's some time to do some planning. Now. 59 00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:43.319 Last weekend when it was warm, also used some roundup 60 00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:46.919 on my weeds. How that worked, but they're not growing. Well, 61 00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:50.599 that's good you rounded them up. They're not growing, But 62 00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:53.840 it takes a bit of time when it's cold like this, 63 00:03:53.960 --> 00:04:01.240 and and the little hairy things, you know, the hairs 64 00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:03.680 on so I put a surfaction in it there. You 65 00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:05.960 go to go through that into the leaf ward has 66 00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:07.759 to go. So if you're going to use some round 67 00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:11.680 up on something. A lot of the spring weeds have 68 00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:15.479 a little tiny hairs, so they need to put in 69 00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:17.759 there or some kind of yeah, little soapy stuff, Yeah, 70 00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:20.560 a little sticky stuff and it makes the water wetter 71 00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:24.360 so it stays on the leaf real Yeah, so that 72 00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:27.319 that was pretty cool. I've been trying to see some 73 00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:30.759 evidence of change in the plants, but at least they're 74 00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:35.079 not growing. That's a good thing. Between that and old 75 00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:39.120 rocks from that fiber optic installation. Wow, is that working out? 76 00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:41.720 Oh good night. This is the second time from my 77 00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:43.759 yard too, because. 78 00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:45.759 You had Company one go drilling and then you got 79 00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:46.839 Company two coming in. 80 00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:48.680 These people are going to try to do the same 81 00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:50.600 thing the other one did, and I almost told you 82 00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:53.720 ain't gonna work, buddy. You need a geological study here, folks. 83 00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:59.040 Right there, the intersection is on top of a huge rock. 84 00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:02.759 They they'd be better off trying to drill through a meteorite. 85 00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:07.199 Yeah, it'll take quite a rocket ship to do that. 86 00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:12.199 But nonetheless, uh, well, they'll find out that it's ain't 87 00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:15.600 gonna do it drills again. They'll probably take that big 88 00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:17.639 orange pipe and go up over the road and back 89 00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:23.199 down the other side. Maybe, I don't know. So when 90 00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:25.160 the first group came in, they were they were surveying 91 00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:28.839 and everything. You said, you're gonna run a pipe through here? 92 00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:31.879 He said, yeah, I said, I told you have my 93 00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:41.800 deepest sympathy. Take them three weeks this time. What they 94 00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:45.399 did they between that little gap between the sidewalk and 95 00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:49.120 the street, they pulled out the biggest rocks. I mean 96 00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:53.319 they're huge, the big rocks. I said, thank you. They 97 00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:55.360 hauled the big ones away with the little ones back 98 00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:58.920 in the ground. So anyway, so much for that anyway 99 00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:02.040 in the garden right now, Uh, soil test is good 100 00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:03.639 to do right now if you if you haven't had 101 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:06.959 any good luck with your with your vegetables or your 102 00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:09.120 flowers in the yard, it might be due to some 103 00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:12.040 of the chemistry and the soil, so you might want 104 00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:15.519 to do a soil test. So that's pretty easy to do. 105 00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:20.240 You go to the extension agent with some soil and 106 00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:22.439 don't do it in one area. If you're doing it 107 00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:25.480 for your line, you do samples from different parts of 108 00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:28.279 the yard. Okay, put them in a jar and shaken. 109 00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:31.000 Don't don't touch it though that can affect the test. 110 00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:33.879 You want to put it in a jar and shake 111 00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:37.199 it up and they'll give you a chemical analysis. It's 112 00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:41.560 pretty thorough really. Sometimes when we do a project commercial 113 00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:44.519 projects downtown, it was a requirement to have a soil 114 00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:51.160 test done, so we did that and actually didn't need anything. So, 115 00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:53.519 but it's a good idea to do that if your 116 00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:56.680 if your stuff's not doing very well. So it could 117 00:06:56.680 --> 00:06:59.839 be a mineral depletion, it could be just maybe over 118 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.560 use of a chemicals. That happens a lot when you 119 00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:07.600 use constantly use the weed control over and over over again, 120 00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:10.560 and we don't have a lot of rain associated with 121 00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:14.000 the weather, it tends to build up in the soil 122 00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.120 and that can cause some problems. Pre Emergents are pretty 123 00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:19.879 bad about that too. A couple of years ago we 124 00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:21.519 had a problem with that all over time grass is 125 00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:25.279 simply wasn't growing. Neither were the weeds. It's like mars, 126 00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:29.279 you know, and that's that uh, And you probably need 127 00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:32.800 to apply some gyps into the soil or or hope 128 00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:35.639 it rains to kind of flush it out a little bit. 129 00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:39.319 Because it does, it can build up into the soil. 130 00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:43.120 So if you're not having luck with that that it 131 00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:46.680 might be chemical, It might be a p h. It 132 00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:50.399 might be the soil structure perhaps, or lack of death 133 00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:54.199 soil depth perhaps, but and putting sod down won't solve 134 00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:56.680 the problem. I get a lot they're supposed to sod 135 00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:01.920 on top. Well, if you don't solve the problem why 136 00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:05.160 your grass isn't growing, putting salt on it won't help. 137 00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:08.680 It'll just do exactly the same thing. So if you're 138 00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:11.399 not having good luck growing during your lawn, I see 139 00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:16.480 a lot of this too. My yard's one. Maybe because 140 00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:19.920 it doesn't hold the water. It's just too much, too 141 00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:22.399 much build up. Perhaps to that and chip gypsum will 142 00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:25.319 help a whole lot for that gyp some castilum sulfate 143 00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:28.879 C A SL or two H two O, and it 144 00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:32.919 doesn't it doesn't really affect the pH the soil that much, 145 00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:35.840 but it does help break up the clay a little 146 00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:41.840 bit and helps the migration of the materials back out 147 00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:43.360 of the riot zone of the soil. 148 00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:47.960 My goodness, we've got some science going on here. 149 00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:51.720 Yeah. So anyway, I think I'll put some gyps in 150 00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:53.759 on my yard. Maybe that'll help this year. There you go, 151 00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:57.360 so okay, anyway, that's kind of what they do. What 152 00:08:57.440 --> 00:08:59.000 you need to think about and what you need to 153 00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:00.879 make an assess of what your guard looks like, and 154 00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:03.519 the grass looks like and all that other stuff. And 155 00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:05.879 I was at a house this week too, and her 156 00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:09.919 hollies just weren't doing break well. No, And I said, well, 157 00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:12.759 you're living in a part of town where there's the bait. 158 00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:16.679 The parent material of the soil is limestone, and imagine 159 00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:20.559 your pH is a little too high for hollies. So 160 00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:25.759 you want some holly type fertilizer and some iron iron 161 00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:29.360 sulfate wouldn't hurt it either, But if you get the 162 00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:32.120 wrong kind of iron sulfate, it will stain your sidewalks. 163 00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:36.960 So we have some that doesn't do that. So I 164 00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:39.200 helped her out and applied it for watered and all that. 165 00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:44.919 So so, Larry, you helped me so much. He gets 166 00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:46.879 that all the time. I get that all the time. 167 00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:50.600 But anyway, so we'll see what happens to them there. 168 00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:54.399 And these hollies are planted right on the close of 169 00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:56.159 the foundation too, And when they when they do the 170 00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:59.240 brick work, the mortar just hits the ground and then 171 00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:02.080 the builder shoves a bunch of dirt over it. And 172 00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:05.039 then you turn the soil over and gets that C 173 00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:07.279 A C O three in there and and it raises 174 00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:09.240 the p H too high. Then your plant Holly's and 175 00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:14.480 they go, Boxo's doing great. She has a box Yeah, 176 00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:18.240 pH is right away after the eve of the house. 177 00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:21.360 It was one of those green towers where they're kind 178 00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:25.600 of narrow and up right and yeah, but anyway, and 179 00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:28.200 it's doing great. But the a is next to it 180 00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:32.879 are that, and so it just needs a little needs 181 00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:37.000 a little love and attention pH adjustment. Yeah, boxwoods can 182 00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:42.879 tolerate a wide range of pH numbers. It's not really 183 00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:47.159 they're more tolerant, if you will. These are the others 184 00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:51.759 are more specific exactly. It depends on their their native habitat. 185 00:10:51.919 --> 00:11:00.840 Uh uh. They typically and igneous based soils like in 186 00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:07.960 the Appalachians areas like that with the volcanic soil, if 187 00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:10.360 you will, And it tends to be more acid because 188 00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:12.559 the leaves from the trees that fall down that's what 189 00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:15.240 makes the soil in the forest tends to have a 190 00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:20.519 lower pH two. For instance, uh in Ashville around builtmore 191 00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:27.639 these huge rhododendrons. It's as big as a house to grow. 192 00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:33.600 They just and I lived in Georgia for quite some time. 193 00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:37.000 We used through these l's in the ground. Didn't worry 194 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:38.120 about peat moss or anything. 195 00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:42.679 They did great, but here it doesn't work that way. 196 00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:46.559 They need they need an altered soil type. So we 197 00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:49.240 use a lot of peat moths which has a pH 198 00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:53.879 at five point five, which is perfect for them. So 199 00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:57.919 knowing your soil chemistry and your soil structure is very 200 00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:01.200 important and picking out your plants too. So there are 201 00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:04.600 some hollies that will tolerate the high pH A dwarf. 202 00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:07.039 Upon holly as one. I use that quite a bit 203 00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:08.879 just for kind of a low growing shrubs here and 204 00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:12.320 there they do well. And yop On holly is the 205 00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:16.039 same thing. But our shrub of the week this week 206 00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:19.639 is falster holly, and I found this one to have 207 00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:25.559 a bit of tolerance soil types too. It's actually it's 208 00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:29.480 a cross rotein an American holly and some other holly. Anyway, 209 00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:35.240 it's a medium to fine texture, upright growing holly. It's 210 00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:41.440 a native habitat. Is come upright thing up to thirty 211 00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:45.759 five feet tall. That's a holy holly. Yeah. And some 212 00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:48.200 people put them to the left and the right of 213 00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:51.639 the front door perhaps, and you have to carve a 214 00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:55.840 tunnel through it to get into the house. So this 215 00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:58.240 is really not one you want to put close to 216 00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:00.720 the ouse. Use this for screening or back drops or something, 217 00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:03.080 but don't put it at the corner of the house. 218 00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:06.000 It looks real nice when you get them just typically 219 00:13:06.039 --> 00:13:09.840 the growers prune them and sculpt them to be upright. 220 00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:14.000 Growing plants are the good for like your back fence. Yeah, 221 00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:17.320 the back fence or screen. If you have a real 222 00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:22.519 big tall house, they do fine too. It'll scale with it, okay, 223 00:13:23.159 --> 00:13:25.879 but a one story house it'll look like it looks 224 00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:32.559 like you just got absorbed. So this night I found 225 00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:36.600 that it's a bit more. It's very adaptable to many solilotops. Well, 226 00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:40.080 it must have a pH five point five to six. 227 00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:43.200 It will rate six pH, which is kind of what's 228 00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:45.399 going on. Like what in the park, for instance, is 229 00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:48.759 about five and a half in some parts, and it 230 00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:52.879 does pretty well over there. So it's kind of slow growing. 231 00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:55.559 And if it gets too big you can whack it back. 232 00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:59.000 They take a good string you can. You can skeletonize 233 00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:02.679 this thing really and it'll come out just fine. I 234 00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:07.919 like yopon Hollis. Yeah, I did that to mine last weekend. Wow. 235 00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:11.120 It's a pride of Houston And I had to use 236 00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:15.320 a pick to get it in the ground. And and 237 00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:18.279 I never thought it would grow that large. And that's 238 00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:22.440 that's too big. So I got the salls all up there, 239 00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:28.679 just butchered thing. It was like a hack crack right now, 240 00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:31.679 a hat rack. But the thing is about the yop 241 00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:34.639 on Hollies is it will come back and make a 242 00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:37.720 really nice looking shrub. So we'll talk a little bit 243 00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:41.159 more about that. Break. Okay, let's do that. 244 00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:44.799 It's eight twenty one and once again, our phone number 245 00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:49.080 is one eight hundred and seven nine three six.

A public service 285 00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:58.840 message from Paralyzed Veterans of America. 286 00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:02.919 Welcome back to the Green Country Gardener Program. It is 287 00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:06.759 a twenty four forty degrees and our phone line is 288 00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:11.599 one eight seven three six. I'm Tom Davison. If you're 289 00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:14.440 looking for the expert, Like the song says, it ain't me, 290 00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:16.759 it's Larry, Larry Glass. 291 00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:20.279 Larry, what do we have? We were talking about yopon holliy. Yeah, 292 00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:23.400 in my house, I have one yopon Holly that's shaped 293 00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:26.559 kind of like this oriental sort of look different layers 294 00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:29.400 at least really nice up against the rock of the house. 295 00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:35.519 And then there's one that's this round thing. Another one 296 00:17:35.559 --> 00:17:39.200 the one I just butchered up. I want to kind 297 00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:41.960 of shape it kind of free form too. But these 298 00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:46.720 because they do tolerate heavy pruning. You know, they get 299 00:17:46.759 --> 00:17:50.839 too big, you cut them back rather significantly actually, so 300 00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:53.960 they're pretty versatile plants in that instance, right though. There 301 00:17:54.480 --> 00:17:58.359 and then there's the dwarfiew upon holly and a customer 302 00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:00.759 texted me and said, how do I cut this back? 303 00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:03.279 And said, you just flat, don't don't cut it around 304 00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:06.759 the edge, but cut it flat across the top. Yeah, 305 00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:10.160 and it will assume a natural hemispherical shape that way. 306 00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:12.880 And that's how you keep them from getting too tall. 307 00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:16.039 I've seen people with dwarf youelp on Holly's that are 308 00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:19.559 shoulder high, and you can still cut them back and 309 00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:23.759 they'll come back to be a nice little shrub again. Well, 310 00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:28.640 you know, but anyway, what the what why there's a 311 00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:31.279 good around here is that there they can tolerate the 312 00:18:31.359 --> 00:18:35.039 variations and soil type and soil chemistry. They can tolerate 313 00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:38.799 a wide variety of conditions and still do okay. And 314 00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:41.440 one thing you can tell if your opon or a 315 00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:46.119 holly is happy, it's the size of the leaf. Typically, 316 00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:49.440 if the leaf is real small compared to what it 317 00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:52.519 really should be, there are typically they're about the size 318 00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:58.880 of a the eraser on your pencil. Yeah, about about 319 00:18:58.880 --> 00:19:06.839 that big for those of you with color radio. And 320 00:19:06.839 --> 00:19:09.960 and if they're if they're starting to get progressively smaller 321 00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:13.960 and the internode is getting shorter, then they probably need 322 00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:19.359 some fertilizer or perhaps maybe a slight pH adjustment too. 323 00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:23.240 She can use a Hooli type fertilizer on it. On mine, 324 00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:28.039 I give them just iron sulfate every year, and they 325 00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:32.759 have these really deep glossy green leaves on really really 326 00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:35.359 nice and they do very well put on the box 327 00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:38.759 was too. They respond very well to iron sulfate. So 328 00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:43.240 does my sidewalk is orange? Well, my wife went to issue, 329 00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:47.400 so that all comes together. I'll find you just like. 330 00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:51.880 But anyway, so iron and are soil here typically is 331 00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:55.519 low and iron and that's probably one of the one 332 00:19:55.559 --> 00:19:57.559 of the things we sell the most is iron based 333 00:19:57.559 --> 00:20:02.079 fertilizer just because of our your plants greener, our young 334 00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:05.640 soil here. Yeah, and it also helps your your lawn 335 00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:13.559 to yeah. Yeah that bermutilons can get kind of lackluster 336 00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:17.599 and you know, and poor licking. But if you put 337 00:20:17.599 --> 00:20:21.559 that iron iron sulfate on it, it'll green darker in 338 00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:23.640 the green color, even darker than it's always a grass 339 00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:28.839 or fescue if you put enough on there. Good. So uh, 340 00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:33.799 that's a problem with our soil here is the trace 341 00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:38.000 element content is relatively low because our soil is relatively young, 342 00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:42.440 relatively speaking, I. 343 00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:49.000 Guess anyway, four point one billion, yeah, or we have 344 00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:52.599 a geriniums migrating to the to the retail greenhouse right now. 345 00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:55.759 We're getting all excited about the geraniums. We got lots 346 00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:58.400 of them, so they're they're coming on right now. 347 00:20:58.759 --> 00:21:00.799 Don't you grow so many that you have to export 348 00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:02.200 them like all around the world. 349 00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:05.680 Yeah, we have. We have some contracts for outfits and 350 00:21:05.759 --> 00:21:09.519 Tulsa we grow them for and all that. So yeah, 351 00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:12.960 so we grow a lot of them and they're looking 352 00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:17.440 really good this year. They trust someone with a green thumb, Yeah, 353 00:21:17.519 --> 00:21:22.240 of course. So anyway, we have those and we have 354 00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:24.279 a great selection of houseplants right now. We do have 355 00:21:24.319 --> 00:21:27.680 a sale on on some tropicals. There's some tropicals that 356 00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:30.640 are sixty percent off. Wow, they're against the west wall 357 00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:33.559 of the greenhouse. And then they kind of look at 358 00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:38.079 those and see so they're they're pretty cool too. And 359 00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:40.240 it's people like to come in and just kind of 360 00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:44.559 groove around the waterfall. Well, it is a cool little waterfall. 361 00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:47.839 How long has that been there since the eighties?
