Looks like we're going 33 00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:41.599 to have some fairly consistent weather this week. 34 00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:45.359 Yep, forties and fifties in the daytime, in twenties and 35 00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:46.159 thirties at night. 36 00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:48.560 That's about right this time of year. It was getting 37 00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:52.760 right close to December, isn't it. Yeah it is, yeah tomorrow, Yeah, yesterday. 38 00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:54.760 I put a new ring on the tree too. Getting older, 39 00:01:54.879 --> 00:02:01.319 Oh yeah, yeah. It is one of the better times 40 00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:05.200 for landscaping and plant trees. Good time for plant and tree. 41 00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:07.239 So we got to have some trees on sale at 42 00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:09.840 the nursery. To come and pick them out. We'll just 43 00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:12.280 throw them in the ground for you. 44 00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:13.919 You do a little bit more than that. 45 00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:14.280 Well. 46 00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:20.319 Yeah, and the shrubs and bulbs and landscaping is a 47 00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:21.080 good time for that too. 48 00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:21.759 Yeah. 49 00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:24.280 You get that ground ready, get all that compost in 50 00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:24.879 the ground. 51 00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:26.080 Get it all chopped up, ready to go. 52 00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:29.560 We've got several projects online and we're in the middle 53 00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:31.639 of one right now, and more on the way. 54 00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:33.080 Just no end in sight, it seems. 55 00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:35.479 But anyway, so it's a good time here for that too, 56 00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:37.520 because the plants will get well established and get the 57 00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:40.919 roots out before spring hits and for the heat hits 58 00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:45.319 next summer. Now, you guys got all these little buttons 59 00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:49.319 over there, you can make next summer high in the 60 00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:50.879 eighties all summer long. 61 00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:54.039 I wish, I wish it was. 62 00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:54.400 Yeah. 63 00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:57.840 So anyway, so anyway, it is getting a little bit 64 00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:00.439 dry after the rain, maybe here and there. So if 65 00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:02.520 you do have some plants that are in the ground, 66 00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:06.280 newly planted plants, you want to look at the soil 67 00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:07.639 and see if they're getting a little bit on the 68 00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:11.319 dry side, because all those roots are just right here 69 00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:13.719 when you first plant one, and it's going to use 70 00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:16.639 up that water quickly in that root mass, in the 71 00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:21.039 established root mass from the container whatever it was planted 72 00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:21.439 in first. 73 00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:24.520 And then you said, well, I just watered it, you know, Yeah, 74 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:26.599 but you gotta water it down. 75 00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:29.520 Here, watered down and around close. 76 00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:30.639 To the plant when they or new like that. 77 00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:32.719 Now, once they're in the ground bout a month or so, 78 00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:35.599 their roots are stretching out and they're going to get established, 79 00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:37.960 so there's not so much of that evolved so on 80 00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:40.159 something new, and that's why we add a lot of 81 00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:41.560 mult when we plant. 82 00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:43.360 New stuff up and move around here. 83 00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:47.439 Well, it helps prevent water loss, evaporative water loss to it, 84 00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:49.520 so you might if you do want to get the 85 00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:52.120 tree or shrub, you might want to get some mulch too. 86 00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:55.800 That it creates kind of a flywheel effect on the 87 00:03:56.919 --> 00:03:59.319 dry and wet cycle, and some on kind of even 88 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:01.919 set out a little it so you don't have to 89 00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:04.319 worry about it. Or if you like me planting in 90 00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:07.120 the ground and say you're on your own, buddy, yeah, 91 00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:10.879 planted a tree like that? Oh just hanging the poor thing. Yeah, 92 00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:13.560 I said, no, you have to grow some roots. I'm 93 00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:15.360 a tough old man. You have to grow some roots. 94 00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:17.319 Get out there, boy, grow some root. 95 00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:21.279 Now that the trunk is the size of a basketball big. 96 00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:23.120 Around than its big and its changed my truck in 97 00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:27.360 the afternoon doing very well. So you know, you don't 98 00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:29.079 want to In other words, you don't want to overdo 99 00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:33.319 it because then it becomes dependent on that. So you 100 00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:35.759 want to kind of as it is establishing. 101 00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:41.319 Like a brother in law, I guess I'm just saying, 102 00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:46.480 I guess. 103 00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:51.560 You want us roots to really go out, you really 104 00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:54.120 want to venture forth. And actually we found when we 105 00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:57.759 when we dig up trees the people's loss, it's either 106 00:04:57.759 --> 00:04:59.839 buried too deeply in the ground or the roots is 107 00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:04.240 never went past the rit mass. Right, So you want 108 00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:07.680 to go ahead and water it alternating days for a 109 00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:10.519 couple of weeks and back it off to every three 110 00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:12.600 days and slowly, slowly get it. 111 00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:14.639 Used to that soil that's around it. 112 00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:18.319 So overwatering is one of the biggest problems people have 113 00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:20.720 with their plants, and underwatering is the biggest problem people 114 00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:21.759 have with the plants. 115 00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:24.439 But just stay on top of it, folks, should be fine. 116 00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:26.560 What I like to do is to let it start 117 00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:28.680 to wilt a little bit, just a little, not a lot, 118 00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:33.560 then then water fairly heavily, and then let it dry 119 00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:36.399 out again so its riots will venture forth into the 120 00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:38.360 soil and take take hold. 121 00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:41.199 Okay, make it a strong wind, right. 122 00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:47.959 So, uh, we've had some weather patterns in the past 123 00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:48.720 and dry water. 124 00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:50.160 We don't have that problem right now. 125 00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:52.879 The soil is not really dry right now, so but 126 00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:57.040 we still want to conserve water. So anyway, this plant 127 00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:01.279 this weekend. This weekend to do some hopefully in my 128 00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:04.120 garden to dig up the elephant ears. 129 00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:05.839 You're going to do it this year. 130 00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:10.319 And yes, they're eight feet tall this year. They're huge 131 00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:15.920 elephant tie exactly. I took the thatch from the lawn 132 00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:21.079 and throw on top of the ground whenever and one 133 00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:24.399 foot layer of a and it's decomposed. Now it's really 134 00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:30.120 good stuff. And they've just huge things. And fertilize them 135 00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:31.879 and the little drips is in the water them too, 136 00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:33.879 so they're doing very well. I didn't have to water 137 00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:37.720 that much this year, really seems. But anyway, yeah, and 138 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:42.680 so as the winter progresses, you want to make sure 139 00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:46.800 to watch the surface moisture content. And if you have 140 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:48.240 a good layer of mulch on the ground, you really 141 00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:50.560 can't see that, but looking on the edge of the 142 00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:53.680 sidewalk and if the soil is peel pulling away from 143 00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:56.439 the sidewalk, it's being a little bit dry. So it's 144 00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:58.199 not a problem right now, but it can be because 145 00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:01.519 we don't have any rain forecasts, and I don't know 146 00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:04.920 about next week, but all this water we had is 147 00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:07.439 going to dry up here now. 148 00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:10.560 We got sunny, clear skies after today. Yeah, it's all 149 00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:11.519 the way through Friday. 150 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:15.240 So don't let it get to the point where the 151 00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:18.399 soil is pulled away from the sidewalk and all that, 152 00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:21.240 or the bed edge anything you got like that, because 153 00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:24.079 it's difficult to re establish the moisture content. So even 154 00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:27.279 though the moisture seems to be pretty good, if you 155 00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:30.879 can possibly do it, don't stop watering, especially on newly planet, 156 00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:36.199 newly planted things. So okay, right, so the water level 157 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:37.920 is a pretty good deep down, but on the surface, 158 00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:40.040 on your new plants, you might have some difficulties. So 159 00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:43.959 people have kind of gotten away from watering their stuff. 160 00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:46.639 You can run and run into some troubles with dryness, 161 00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:47.160 believe it or not. 162 00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:47.759 Okay. 163 00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:51.360 Most often asked question, what do I do to my 164 00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:53.639 tropical plants to bring them into the house? 165 00:07:57.000 --> 00:07:57.639 Cut it back? 166 00:07:58.720 --> 00:07:59.480 Cut them back? 167 00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:04.759 Yeah, No, things like fighters trees can be cut back. 168 00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:06.319 But when you bring a fiers tree in the house, 169 00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:09.680 all the leaves fall off of it anyway, and they'll 170 00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:12.360 put new ones on. They're kind of like a chat. 171 00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:14.720 They can't adjust to new environments very well. 172 00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:15.800 Stubborn. 173 00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:18.160 Instead of hiding in the corner under the couch, they 174 00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:21.120 just all the leaves just fall off, and there are 175 00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:23.519 some other plants that that do better than that. But 176 00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:26.199 if your fiers tree does defoliate, don't worry about it. 177 00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:31.240 It'll come back, okay. And we do have a good 178 00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:34.200 selection of tropical plants at the nursery, so come by 179 00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:35.840 and check those out. To the points that as are 180 00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:41.559 in looking really nice. We had to do some re 181 00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:45.399 roofing on the greenhouse just just for them, so come 182 00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:47.519 check it out. It's so nice to come in there 183 00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:50.879 and all the waterfalls going and all these tropical plants. 184 00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:53.799 It's pretty cool. So come check them out and see 185 00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:57.159 lawns right now. Don't get slickered into using a winter 186 00:08:57.240 --> 00:08:59.159 riser anyr bermudo grass, they won't use it. 187 00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:01.840 And dormant and. 188 00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:06.120 Or or zoiso grass it's kind of superfluous, so don't 189 00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:09.039 use it on your bermuta grass or yours grass. 190 00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:10.600 At this point. No, they don't need any fertilizer. 191 00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:12.799 If you get too much nitrogen in there, we get 192 00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:14.519 the five top four. You pretty bad. 193 00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:18.480 On the stems, and that's kind of the sort of 194 00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:21.840 like a spring dead spot, gotcha, And it comes from 195 00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:25.600 overnatrification of the soil and fungal growth and all that. 196 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:30.879 So you want to avoid fertilizing your bermutigraphs at this point. 197 00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:31.320 Gotcha. 198 00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:35.120 If you want a pre emergent herbicide for the spring 199 00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:36.519 wage or too late, they're up. 200 00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:41.120 So yeah, so. 201 00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:42.120 Keep an eye on that. 202 00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:45.639 When the permuta grass is completely dormant, you can do 203 00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:50.960 a moderate application of round up to kill the weeds 204 00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:55.039 that are there without killing your bermutographs. I say moderate, 205 00:09:55.159 --> 00:09:58.039 don't don't make it too strong. Measure it this time. 206 00:09:58.120 --> 00:09:59.720 Don't just pour it in the bucket. 207 00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:01.919 And go measure exactly. 208 00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:07.919 So fescue grass, though it's doing just fine right now, 209 00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:09.360 that likes this cooler weather. 210 00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:12.320 And just kind of you can mow it fairly low 211 00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:12.720 right now. 212 00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:14.240 You can go down to an inch on it if 213 00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:16.440 you want to, and sort of keep it that way 214 00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:19.559 in the winter, and then as sprint progresses you want 215 00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:23.320 to increase the height. December, you don't want to fertilize 216 00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:26.120 your fescue grass. In January, you don't want to fertilize it. 217 00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:29.360 Come February, start to tign and fertilize it again. March 218 00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:32.080 and April and early part of May is the last 219 00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:34.519 time it has to get hardened. Off for the summer 220 00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:37.639 and also as the spring. As time progresses in the spring, 221 00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:41.159 you want to increase the height of the fescue grass. Also, 222 00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:45.039 what that does is create a larger surface area for 223 00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:49.159 transpiration the cooling effect that leaves have, and it also 224 00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:51.279 helps shade the ground a little bit better too. 225 00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:53.600 Getting so hot. 226 00:10:53.919 --> 00:10:57.159 Yeah, so fesci grass right now, you can cut a 227 00:10:57.200 --> 00:10:57.720 little bit low. 228 00:10:57.759 --> 00:10:59.519 It looks pretty nice when it's got kind of low. 229 00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:02.840 But keep in mind you have to set the notch 230 00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:05.799 on the moor in the spring for it to tolerate 231 00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:06.159 the heat. 232 00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:09.639 Gotcha, right, Let's take a quick break. 233 00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:11.600 We're going to be right back after this two minute 234 00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:12.879 fifteen second time out. 235 00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:15.480 If you're a do it yourself, the place you need 236 00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:17.639 to go and the place you need to know is 237 00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:20.759 United Rentals.

But the beauty of you 307 00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:33.679 want to as plants is you could cut them back 308 00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:36.000 all you want and they just come back just. 309 00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:37.519 Just good as good, you know, good as new. 310 00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:38.240 There you go. 311 00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:39.960 So it's going to get as soon as all the 312 00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:42.639 color's gone, it's going to get cut up and run 313 00:14:42.679 --> 00:14:43.320 through this redder. 314 00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:48.440 Good lord, from a little those things. 315 00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:52.960 From eight feet tall down to about two feet it, 316 00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:55.559 we'll come back anyway. They reach a height of up 317 00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:58.120 to fifteen to twenty feet tall if you let them. 318 00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:01.200 There's are some door dwarf for these are compact varieties 319 00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:02.960 of the burning bush that don't get quite so big. 320 00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:09.519 So uh and it uh. It's very dense bushy and 321 00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:13.200 many branch shrubs, so it does branch out when you 322 00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:16.200 do cut it back. So I have them in several 323 00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:20.360 instances in the yard, two of which have been permitted 324 00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:23.960 to grow just as they please. And the one on 325 00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:26.600 the back fence it's just un it's just a monster. 326 00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:29.039 There it is right there. 327 00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:32.279 Oh my goodness, that's a life of it. 328 00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:34.279 It's a six foot fence and it's twice as tall, 329 00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:38.279 and the color is just really brilliant. It pops and 330 00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:40.759 it's the color shows for I don't know, two or 331 00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:42.399 three weeks or so in the fall. But is it 332 00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:44.919 really not Other than that, it's it's a good, good 333 00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:48.039 shrub to be used for screening or a foundation planting, 334 00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:51.960 something like that. And it's very easy to manage because 335 00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:54.720 being a member of the Euanabus family. It's it's tough 336 00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:59.360 and it responds very well to heavy pruning. I don't 337 00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:01.200 like to use it as a hedgerow. It does not 338 00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:03.679 make a neat hedge. It doesn't, no, not at all. 339 00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:07.000 It just doesn't have a good not like a box 340 00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:08.639 wood or a privit edge or something. 341 00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:10.519 It kind of like Nandina. 342 00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:14.240 You just can't train them into a hedge formal hedge 343 00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:19.159 like that, So they're used in the background for screening 344 00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:24.360 and some color in the winter fall in winter, so's 345 00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:28.120 it thrives in full sun to almost full shade, and 346 00:16:28.200 --> 00:16:30.600 it seems to do best in partial shade and require 347 00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:34.320 more frequently watering. I's grown in the full sun as 348 00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:37.159 far as the water needs and all that were a 349 00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:39.200 little bit out of its league right in here, so 350 00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:41.639 we have to supplement it a little bit. And I've 351 00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:43.639 got mine own a drip thing, so it gets water 352 00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:48.879 when it needs it, and it it just has fairly 353 00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:51.960 different use of different uses in the in the landscape. 354 00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:54.799 There are several forms of the burning bush. The standard 355 00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:57.279 burning bush which just gets kind of large. There's a 356 00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:00.399 compact burning bush. But don't misconstrue the word. I'm packed 357 00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:03.159 for dwarf. No no, And as far as I know, 358 00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:07.480 the no dwarf burning bush anywhere. So the only way 359 00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:10.839 to make the dwarf is to get your hedge clippers 360 00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:12.880 out in the winter and cut them back real good. 361 00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:17.480 Or maybe Kevin could bring his diesel power the way I. 362 00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:18.160 Got back yet. 363 00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:23.400 So good thing is it's very tough, easy to grow, 364 00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:26.519 fair to insect resistant. I've seen some damage with spider 365 00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:28.920 mites on it, but that's about it. They don't seem 366 00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:32.160 to hurt it too much. But it doesn't like to 367 00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:36.480 drop very well. Oh, so be prepared to multi fairly 368 00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:38.640 heavily and watered occasionally in the wintertime. 369 00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:39.559 And we have a collar. 370 00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:40.079 Let's go. 371 00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:43.400 Hey, good morning, and welcome to the Green Country Gardener program. 372 00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:47.160 How your question for Larry, Well, I have a comment. 373 00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:53.279 And Larry was commenting about how nice the greenhouse is now.
