It's I always call it's marchin early 40 00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:38.439 the first few weeks of April. It's like the dance 41 00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:42.239 of the temperatures. Yes, So, driving around this weekend, what 42 00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:44.799 did I see? I saw that red maples are blooming. Oh. 43 00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:49.959 I saw a forcythia just about ready to bloom on Saturday. 44 00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.680 I mean it was yellow, it wasn't all the way 45 00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:57.079 open yet. So this means that we have to play 46 00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.840 this game with the temperatures. Now that stuff is up, 47 00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:07.840 things are and although plants are acclimated to handle cold temperatures, 48 00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:11.000 sometimes there can be damage. Especially today it's supposed to 49 00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:14.520 be like seventy four, and in two days it's we're 50 00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:18.360 gonna have a high of well not two days, yeah, 51 00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:20.879 a couple days. Yeah, Wednesday is supposed to be forty three. 52 00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:24.240 Nights freezing are a little bit below. So this just 53 00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:26.120 means if you have things that are moving along, the 54 00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:28.360 farther they move along, the more chance there is that 55 00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:31.840 they'll be damaged by cold temperatures at night. So get 56 00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:35.199 your floating roll covers out going into your garden shed 57 00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:37.120 or where if you keep that kind of stuff, and 58 00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:40.319 get those out because you can always put those over 59 00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:44.280 if you've planted some bedding plants this weekend, like if 60 00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:47.639 you did pansies or some cool weather crops, if you've 61 00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:51.960 put in some cool weather veedge out into a raised bed, 62 00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.240 because we've talked about that last week, and you've got 63 00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:57.000 seed links coming up, there are super tender. Floating roll 64 00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:01.840 covers are great for temperatures that are just right around freezing. 65 00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:04.039 Okay, And I know one of the one of the 66 00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:06.319 uh and I can hear you saying this in my 67 00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:07.400 mind three words. 68 00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:10.520 Have a plan, have a plan that's this time of year, scout, 69 00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:11.680 Be prepared. 70 00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:15.199 Be prepared, have that plan ready, have the stuff ready 71 00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:17.599 to go? And uh boy, what a great, what a 72 00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:21.039 great opportunity it is to to get stuff going? 73 00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:21.719 And what quick? 74 00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:23.240 Is there anything we can be starting right now? I 75 00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:24.840 have more things that kind of added to the list. 76 00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:29.400 Can i'd wait another couple of weeks with tomatoes unless 77 00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:32.639 you have like a dedicated space that's really sunny and 78 00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:36.039 you have a plan for how you know to uppot them. 79 00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:42.680 Usually you know mid April is best if you can't wait, 80 00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:44.639 wait till the wait till the first of the of 81 00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:48.960 the month. Okay, so, but you can start peppers. There 82 00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:50.639 are a lot of other things that you can start now. 83 00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:56.479 Anything that's like slow growing. If you have raised beds 84 00:03:56.919 --> 00:04:01.400 or areas of the soil is thought and you want 85 00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:04.599 to start some cool weather stuff like peas or that 86 00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:06.000 sort of thing, you can go ahead and do that 87 00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:06.400 as well. 88 00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:10.120 Everything but califlower, not that you can't start cauliflowers just well, you. 89 00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:13.919 Can't start cauliflower. Can you have a thing against cauliflower. 90 00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:18.639 I don't know, I don't like them. I don't know. 91 00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:22.279 It just I'm thinking about like it's it's something and 92 00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:24.720 and uh, you know, we talked about this both on 93 00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:26.959 the show and off the show, but with kiddos. Is 94 00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:30.240 I've mentioned my son loves cauliflower and Broccolian things, and 95 00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:32.519 you pointed out one of the main reasons he probably 96 00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:34.959 does is one of their delicious but also because he 97 00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:36.680 grew that stuff when he was little and now he's 98 00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:39.800 got a connection. And with that too, is we talk 99 00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:43.920 about califlower, we talk about getting to me poorflower. 100 00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:47.000 What about tomatoes? Are things? 101 00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:48.759 It is a good time to get in and get 102 00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:51.120 into the Bruce company and get those seeds. So when 103 00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:54.079 when that when the flag goes up to start putting 104 00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:57.560 the tomatoes in the ground. You've got the best seeds 105 00:04:57.600 --> 00:04:59.680 that your favorite seeds, all the great variety, got a. 106 00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:03.879 Great selection of huge, huge selection of seeds over eighteen hundred. 107 00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:08.079 I know it's stay. 108 00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:10.199 Do you guys ever find like when you're so you're 109 00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:14.519 opening up the boxes that the caes are packets are shipping, 110 00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:16.560 you ever find like mystery seeds in the bottom of 111 00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:18.720 set box? And if so, have you ever just planted 112 00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:19.959 them to see what comes on. 113 00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:23.319 I have not found mystery seeds in the bottom of 114 00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:23.759 the box. 115 00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:25.759 Okay, that would be a. 116 00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:30.480 Fun but I suspect that in many cases, not all, 117 00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:34.759 but in some cases we could probably figure out that 118 00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:38.160 it was a bean or a mirror cold or something 119 00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:38.480 like that. 120 00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:40.680 I don't you guys are pretty smart over there. It 121 00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:42.959 probably wouldn't be much of a challenge all of them. 122 00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:45.240 Because like if they're little round black ones, it's kind 123 00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:45.720 of hard to. 124 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:47.079 Tell which what they're going to go. 125 00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:47.920 In they're going to be. 126 00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:50.079 But yeah, that's exciting. 127 00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:51.720 I'm going to guess there are probably some folks that 128 00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:53.920 put some seeds away last year and maybe they poured 129 00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:58.079 them into a different container, and like what, well. 130 00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:00.000 I'm hoping if you were, if you were a person 131 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.920 and who save seeds, that you would label what you 132 00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:03.600 were saving. 133 00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:05.800 That's the old best intentions. 134 00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:11.680 Yeah, great to begin and pick up some fresh seeds. 135 00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:14.480 And I mentioned the website earlier and Facebook and social 136 00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:17.319 media the Bruce Company.

Can I read into 138 00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:22.199 that to say that there may be U pantsies in 139 00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:22.639 the area. 140 00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:26.560 We did get a bunch of bowls and baskets and things. 141 00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:29.519 Last week.

What about the planting 149 00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:48.439 pansies do we get? 150 00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:52.040 Yeah, we have four inch The only thing we don't have. 151 00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:56.360 We don't have flats yet, okay, with the little cells okay, 152 00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:03.120 And I don't know yet when I would it's almost April. 153 00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:05.399 It's hard to say.

They'll 158 00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:20.480 probably get some herbs in because we'll keep those in 159 00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:24.720 the greenhouse. The greenhouse will begin to fill up any 160 00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:25.199 day now. 161 00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:29.160 Yes, frightening trying to I don't know that we have our. 162 00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:33.839 First kickoff meeting to sit for staff meeting today. It's 163 00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:35.680 many things are happening. 164 00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:37.720 It is go time. It's a great time to get 165 00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:39.720 into the Middleton gardens of the Rust Company. Right at 166 00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:42.199 twenty eight thirty apartment or street. That's twenty thirty partment Street. 167 00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:43.519 If you've got a question for Lisa, love to have 168 00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:46.319 Jonas this morning. Six SOH eight three two one thirteen ten. 169 00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:49.079 That's six SOH eight three two one thirteen ten. And 170 00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:51.199 it seems to sneak up on us every year, and 171 00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:54.519 this year in particular, because of how early in April 172 00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:57.079 it is, uh and the fact that we are almost 173 00:07:57.120 --> 00:07:58.800 done with March, which means it's going to be here 174 00:07:58.879 --> 00:07:59.360 no time. 175 00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:04.800 East. Sunday is Sunday right, a few days away. 176 00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:07.879 Sunday, right, So it is very very early, not as 177 00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:10.399 early as it can be. It could be earlier, yes, 178 00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:14.000 because the rule for Easter is it is the first 179 00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:19.120 Sunday after the first full moon, which I believe is 180 00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:29.279 Thursday after the vernal equinox. So not only so that's 181 00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:35.320 like March twentieth. Okay, So if March twentieth is say 182 00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:41.919 a Friday, and the full moon is that Saturday, so 183 00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:46.200 it Easter could be as early as like March twenty second. 184 00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:50.639 This is Clindrical Science one oh one right here, So. 185 00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:51.879 It's not as early as it can be, but it's 186 00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:52.320 pretty early. 187 00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:55.159 It's it's pretty early, and especially when it and I 188 00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:57.159 don't know what it is, but like new months just 189 00:08:57.240 --> 00:08:59.559 kind of like hey, surprise, like you know they're coming, 190 00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:01.720 Like I know April is going to be here eventually, 191 00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:03.200 but it's like going to be here in no time. 192 00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:05.960 So with that, a couple of things to keep in mind. 193 00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:08.000 One great day to get into the Milton Gardens of 194 00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:11.960 the Bruce Company, because you've got a lot of great, great, 195 00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:16.919 nice looking things to decor and flowering and just beautiful things, 196 00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:17.600 got all kinds. 197 00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:19.200 Of Yeah, it's really fun in the store today. 198 00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:22.120 It is a great day for that.

That's six soh eight three two 291 00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:56.919 one thirteen ten. Somebody had asked over the weekend about 292 00:13:57.240 --> 00:14:01.159 basically saving and then using their eggshells and putting them 293 00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:04.759 in their garden to I don't know, help help add 294 00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:07.159 some minerals and much need things. And I said, ah, 295 00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:10.120 I don't know the answer to that, and I said, 296 00:14:10.360 --> 00:14:13.759 I know somebody who will, and so Bellisa, I know 297 00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:17.120 there are folks that And it's always great to conserve 298 00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:19.000 and save as much of that stuff as you can. 299 00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:22.720 The more things you can reuse the better. Are eggs 300 00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:24.279 adding eggshells beneficial? 301 00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:24.879 Harmful? 302 00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:27.279 What's the egg shells are a really good source of 303 00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:33.480 calcium for plants. But but and putting just throwing your 304 00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:36.480 eggs out there will not hurt anything, okay, but it 305 00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:39.279 will take quite some time to break them down. So 306 00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:41.519 if you're going to put eggs shells in, throw them 307 00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:47.440 in a blender first and break them up, powder, pulverize them, 308 00:14:47.639 --> 00:14:52.360 get them really small and then or put them in 309 00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:54.840 a compost pile and let them break down in with 310 00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.360 your composts and then just add that as an overall 311 00:14:58.440 --> 00:14:59.720 top dress is. 312 00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:02.200 And when I was a kid, we always say we've 313 00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:06.159 got one down at the down at the estate and Ederton. 314 00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:09.440 We just literally have a compost pile where we just 315 00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:12.080 kind of put that stuff in. Every few weeks, I 316 00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:16.720 flip it around. Good stuff it turns out perfect. I 317 00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:19.519 have seen a lot of and I understand that there's 318 00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:22.639 kind of a place for everything. I've seen, like these 319 00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:24.799 things you can buy, like drums that you put then 320 00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:26.080 those work just as well. 321 00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:31.240 Yeah. Yeah. Some people don't have an estate, have a 322 00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:33.759 small backyard and they don't want a big pile, okay, 323 00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:37.000 so they want it to be tidier. So yes, there 324 00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:41.639 are drums that you can turn. There are also those 325 00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:45.120 things that look like you know, inverted beehives, some black 326 00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:46.919 ones and then they have a little door in the bottom. 327 00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:50.919 Yeah. Yes, I heard somebody talking about one and one 328 00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:51.399 of those one. 329 00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:56.919 I was, well, that's different. That's that's to keep your scraps, okay, 330 00:15:57.120 --> 00:15:59.519 So that you then I think there are ones that 331 00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:00.720 you can put under your sink. 332 00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:05.720 But yeah, yeah, there's a perfect place outside. 333 00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:10.600 But my son has there's a service in Madison where 334 00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:13.840 you can fill it and put it out on your 335 00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:17.440 driveway and they collect it and then you can get 336 00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:19.320 back compost. 337 00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:21.679 Yes somebody okay that my son does. 338 00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:25.600 That, okay, And yes, that's it's a cool program. 339 00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:26.360 It sounds like a. 340 00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:28.480 Great yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, And I don't know 341 00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:31.879 if you purchase it you know, I don't know the 342 00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:34.879 ins and outs of it, like what a share in 343 00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:39.600 it costs. But yeah, so that's what. So when you 344 00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:43.200 if you're going to do vegetables and scraps and that 345 00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:47.200 kind of stuff, my mother in law told me once that, 346 00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:49.120 you know, she would chop it up, and I think 347 00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:51.960 that's a good idea. It'll it'll break down faster if 348 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:56.440 you give the whole process a little boost. So chop 349 00:16:56.480 --> 00:17:00.720 things up really fine. The the tough for they are, 350 00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:03.039 the more the smaller they. 351 00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:06.160 Should be, the more fibrous and those yes, yeah, fantatic, 352 00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:07.240 great great stuff. 353 00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:09.079 If you throw a carrot in there, it's gonna take 354 00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:12.359 some time. If you great said carrot, it's going going 355 00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:12.680 to be. 356 00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:15.759 Faster, kind of given mother nature a head start.

Timing is you want the 367 00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:00.759 temps soil tempts to get about fifty between fifty fifty five. 368 00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:09.000 So that's when you know that that crabgrass prevent The 369 00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:11.440 pre emergent only lasts so long, and so if you 370 00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:14.559 put it down now and we have a later spring, 371 00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:17.279 then it's going to be not as effective when the 372 00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:21.160 seeds are actually germinating, because what it is is it's 373 00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:29.359 a a substance that stops the seeds from germinating. Should 374 00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:32.559 the lawn be wet when you apply it, I don't 375 00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:35.000 think it matters. I think that you know, if you 376 00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:37.000 do it early in the morning when there's dew on 377 00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:41.279 the ground, I think that you I don't think that matters. 378 00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:45.240 I think you know, you spread it and it goes 379 00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:47.640 to the soil. The grass is still short enough right 380 00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:50.960 now that it's going to make contact with the soil 381 00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:55.119 pretty quickly. It's not affecting the grass itself. Once the 382 00:18:55.160 --> 00:19:00.279 crab grass emerges, the pre emergent will not help, will 383 00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:02.599 not help. But that's why the timing is really tricky. 384 00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:06.359 So you know, if you have like a you can 385 00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:10.559 get a soil thermometer. Food thermometers are usually don't go 386 00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:14.240 down that low, but you could get a soil thermometer. 387 00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:18.960 Or if you're a brewer you've ever made beer. I 388 00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:22.480 think that the that the brewing thermometers go down that low. 389 00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:26.240 I think they do. I used to have one. 390 00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:31.039 I still have one somewhere, but. 391 00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:30.119 Yeah, it's a soil thing. 392 00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:32.839 Is there and thanks for the great question, and is 393 00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:34.960 there are there? I've got a guess too. 394 00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:37.519 Some of that ground usually around mid to early to 395 00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:40.319 mid April, Okay, you know when it's. 396 00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:42.400 Yeah, well we'll let you know too. 397 00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:45.440 Yeah, I don't. I don't. I had no, I have 398 00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:46.240 no lawn, so. 399 00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:48.640 You're all you're all garden. 400 00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:52.279 Yeah, I'm not necessarily taking my soil tab. 401 00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:56.200
