Speaker 1: Good morning, and welcome to the Green Country Gardener Program
Speaker 1: right here on K one. Hey, I'm fourteen hundred, FM
Speaker 1: ninety three point three and FMT ninety five point one.
Speaker 2: The Green Country.
Speaker 1: Gardener Program with our expert Larry Glass, is brought to
Speaker 1: you by Green Plumb Nursery and Greenhouses, United, Reynolds, Kelly Banks,
Speaker 1: Tree Service, Roman's Outdoor Power, Accent, Pest Control, Ascension, Saint John,
Speaker 1: James Phillips, and Gateway First Back. Yeah, morning, good morning,
Speaker 1: good morning, welcome, welcome, welcome time for the Green Country
Speaker 1: Gardener Program. Our total three numbers one eight hundred seven
Speaker 1: four nine five ninety three six.
Speaker 2: I'm Tom. I just had to the phone.
Speaker 1: Larry Glass is our expert, and my goodness, stakes things
Speaker 1: are getting green and things are popping up all over the.
Speaker 2: Place, the best time of the year.
Speaker 3: All of sudden, like we have a month of rain. Yeah,
Speaker 3: well it's about yeah, it was a month, tell me
Speaker 3: about it. Sitting around going and I wish we could
Speaker 3: go to work outside. Finally, Actually it's still kind of
Speaker 3: went out there. We're doing some work yesterday on the chart.
Speaker 3: It's just it's still just muddy. But we'll get going
Speaker 3: on it. We're expected to hide schedule. So what else
Speaker 3: is new?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 2: Spring time in Oklahoma in Kansas.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it rains and then now what's gonna be the
Speaker 3: middle of May? Yep, then no rain till September. Then
Speaker 3: the ground gets like rock.
Speaker 2: Then we get a couple of beauties and then it
Speaker 2: dries up again for winter.
Speaker 3: Anyway, today is a big day of the nursery. We
Speaker 3: got lots of annuals and perennials and trees and shrubs,
Speaker 3: so come on check it out. We have some hydraches red,
Speaker 3: white and blue. They need good soil.
Speaker 2: Though.
Speaker 3: We have a new truckload of composts. We're so excited yesterday.
Speaker 3: And we also have bulk compost too.
Speaker 2: Oh very good.
Speaker 3: See back up your trailer, will hoist it in there
Speaker 3: with the caboda and get you some composts. Nothing like
Speaker 3: big old tomatoes that do so well in all that compost. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you plant a tomato and clay you're just gonna get.
Speaker 2: You're gonna get what you get, leaf.
Speaker 3: Spot and blossoming rods.
Speaker 2: Put it in the good stuff though, next thing you know,
Speaker 2: you got good eat.
Speaker 3: I did that for somebody a while back. But I
Speaker 3: just put a superfluous amount of composts. Wow, and man,
Speaker 3: they had tomatoes and about the size.
Speaker 2: Of pumpkins the gorge. But still they have a.
Speaker 3: Good quantity and good supply tomatoes too. It's also important
Speaker 3: to towards the planting far apart to where they don't
Speaker 3: grab each other out, you know what, don't crawl the
Speaker 3: tomatoes grow. Yeah, So anyway, so that's kind of what's
Speaker 3: going on with the nursery too. Got some malts, good
Speaker 3: looking milks too, you're into that. Yeah, hanging baskets and uh,
Speaker 3: these are big flower pots. Put a biogle ribbon on
Speaker 3: it and say.
Speaker 2: Here mon, Larry grew it for me.
Speaker 3: Yea water it once a week or twice a week.
Speaker 3: And some color pots what we call them. And there's
Speaker 3: several different species of plants depending on whether or not
Speaker 3: you have sun or shade. So we sometimes we try
Speaker 3: to ask questions about on what side of the house
Speaker 3: is this part going to be and so on, and
Speaker 3: then'll kind of steer them in the right direction as
Speaker 3: to what do Well, there you go. Because there's plants.
Speaker 3: They are a product of their environment, and so if
Speaker 3: you put them in the wrong environment, you've got the
Speaker 3: cattle skulls and dead twigs into flower pots or or
Speaker 3: real stretchy plants in the shade. So so you kind
Speaker 3: of want to know on your hanging pots, in your baskets,
Speaker 3: what what face of the house that's on. Can we
Speaker 3: guide you there too? They make a great gifts. Also,
Speaker 3: we do have some good supply drift ROAs is right now.
Speaker 3: Drift roses get about who knee high or so, and
Speaker 3: some of them I think they're self self pruning. I
Speaker 3: think I don't maybe I don't know, but anyway, and
Speaker 3: they just bloom pretty much all the time. We sold
Speaker 3: a lot on this last week too, because they are
Speaker 3: they're very easy to grow. They just need a fair
Speaker 3: amount of sunshine. It's some good drainage and some good soil.
Speaker 3: So there are three factories we don't always have, that's true,
Speaker 3: at least two of them don't have. That's what we
Speaker 3: have to mind. And somebody came in they wanted an
Speaker 3: a plant. Well, we tried it before and they died.
Speaker 3: Andy said, well, what are you doing to the soil?
Speaker 3: And nothing? Well, azalias are what we call irracacious. What
Speaker 3: does that mean? I mean they require an acid soil
Speaker 3: and are a resident soil here is a pH of
Speaker 3: as little as six point five, but up to seven,
Speaker 3: sometimes up to eight, and that's pretty much toxic for
Speaker 3: these alias. So we showed us some other options. Maybe
Speaker 3: that might worry, but really most of these plants that
Speaker 3: grow in the shade do require a somewhat lower pH
Speaker 3: because are typically under the canopy of trees.
Speaker 2: Yeah, not.
Speaker 3: pH is kind of low. There are some parts in
Speaker 3: Woodland Park, for instance, the pH is like five point five.
Speaker 3: We've done some tests in the past and it's like
Speaker 3: you know, vinegar, the pH scale is exponential, so the
Speaker 3: lower yougo, the rore acid is and you know you've
Speaker 3: got hydrochl work acid.
Speaker 1: Your foul, your while you're walking across the feeder sily
Speaker 1: and the acid.
Speaker 3: So it so it's kind of a narrow range really
Speaker 3: about five and a half to seven and a half
Speaker 3: or so. When plants will will grow after that is
Speaker 3: either you know, a dead cell. So if your plants
Speaker 3: aren't doing well and all the other factors are in
Speaker 3: place as far as shady requirements and drainage and water,
Speaker 3: it could be just a soil chemistry is not quite right,
Speaker 3: just getting easily remitted by a by a test. Then
Speaker 3: they then you can make lime or iron sulfate or
Speaker 3: sulfur to alter the PhD the soil those particular plants.
Speaker 3: Another thing you can tell if your pH is too
Speaker 3: high in your zeal is diminished leaf size. This also
Speaker 3: happens on holly plants too, and all the plants such
Speaker 3: as the Burford holly or the American holly, we'll have
Speaker 3: black spots on them. A lower pH or iron deficiency
Speaker 3: creates a susceptibility to leaf spot. So if you do
Speaker 3: have yellow spotty leaves on your hollies and the leaves
Speaker 3: a little smaller than they were when when you first
Speaker 3: got the plant, your pH is more likely too high.
Speaker 3: So iron self eate. I use iron on my iron
Speaker 3: on my boxwoods and hollis at my house. They do
Speaker 3: just fine. Gives them nice because I live on the
Speaker 3: surface of Mars.
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 3: They finally got down with the fiber lines of the
Speaker 3: second go round.
Speaker 1: How many times did they break their drills and digging equipment.
Speaker 3: I don't know. They took away big old pile of
Speaker 3: rocks this idea. It was four weeks this time, so
Speaker 3: have had two months. Either these artistic sculptures in the
Speaker 3: front yard or just big old pile of rocks and
Speaker 3: all this equipment sitting out there, had a bunch of
Speaker 3: people scratching their heads.
Speaker 2: Goodness.
Speaker 3: So anyway, they got it done and they got to
Speaker 3: they gotta cleaned up. They did a pretty good job
Speaker 3: cleaning up, put some grass on it. So so anyway,
Speaker 3: that's that's a testament to our solar quality. And that's
Speaker 3: probably why I have weeds in my heart.
Speaker 2: Too busy take care of everybody exactly.
Speaker 3: So anyway, you might come out check out hanging baskets
Speaker 3: for Mother's Day. They make really great gifts, or color
Speaker 3: pots quite well, and maybe some roses for some good
Speaker 3: reliable color. But if things aren't doing very well, if
Speaker 3: you're want to plant some roses and just plants just
Speaker 3: really you're just not thriving u the rose will probably
Speaker 3: follow the same suit. So you might want to consider
Speaker 3: getting a backup compost while you're out too. And don't
Speaker 3: a little bit but a big preparation had to teach
Speaker 3: my guys how to plant plants. It said, no, you're
Speaker 3: you're not putting your cork in the ground. You need
Speaker 3: to dig a large hole and add this compost because
Speaker 3: you look what the trees are planted in from the grower.
Speaker 3: It's a very loose mixture and you put it in
Speaker 3: the clay, that's quite a bit of culture shock. And
Speaker 3: also the clay doesn't transmit water as fast as as
Speaker 3: the lootor soil does, and the pot will will tend
Speaker 3: to dry out quicker than the other plants. And even
Speaker 3: though we've had some rain in the ground as moist,
Speaker 3: if you put something in the ground and don't have
Speaker 3: a way for the water to get into the plant,
Speaker 3: then it's going to dry out, which seems kind of weird,
Speaker 3: but it does. It happens because all the water is
Speaker 3: used up in that one little pot, and if the
Speaker 3: soil around it is heavy, the water doesn't transmit very
Speaker 3: fast into if at all. So that's kind of why
Speaker 3: we say, do a hole twice as big as the plant,
Speaker 3: or three times or whatever. Yeah, and then and then
Speaker 3: mix in some stuff. So the plant is planted in
Speaker 3: a barkie kind of mixture and the soil is kind
Speaker 3: of heavy around here, something to transition it to that
Speaker 3: you'll be much better off. That's why we do a
Speaker 3: lot of ground prep when we do landscaping. I bet
Speaker 3: you do un there with a tiller and the shovels
Speaker 3: and it's one project. We put a whole palette of
Speaker 3: compost in and so, yeah.
Speaker 1: Jay, what We're gonna take a quick break. We'll be
Speaker 1: right back after this two minute timeout.
Speaker 4: This Mother's Day. Say it with flowers from Green Thumb Nursery.

Speaker 10: Melissa Wandle was nine months pregnant with her first child
Speaker 10: when her husband Mark was killed in a car accident.
Speaker 4: His life insurance made a huge difference for Melissa and
Speaker 4: her daughter Madison.
Speaker 10: I wasn't going to have to worry about going to
Speaker 10: work every day, leaving her in the hands of somebody
Speaker 10: else struggling day by day to get by.
Speaker 3: A message from the nonprofit Life Foundation.
Speaker 1: Welcome up, Welcome back. It's the Greek Country Gardener program
Speaker 1: and you can be a part of it. With your
Speaker 1: questions about your lawy, your garden. Virtually anything that grows
Speaker 1: one eight hundred three six, I should say out of
Speaker 1: the ground, because you know, if we start getting things
Speaker 1: about kids. It's been a while since we've restars. But anyway,
Speaker 1: things that grow, things that grow. Right now, it looks
Speaker 1: like the client list is growing here.
Speaker 3: Oh no, that's that's uh, that's one of those calls.
Speaker 2: Oh I got you.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Oh. Every now and then we get we get granddaughter alerts.
Speaker 3: I wasn't granddaughter. That was telling somebody from the foreign country.
Speaker 3: One telemarketer wanted to sell me something like medicare.
Speaker 2: But uncle, uncle spam, uncle spam.
Speaker 3: Fruit trees right now. The fruit is in production right now.
Speaker 3: The pollen enation should be over with by then. So
Speaker 3: I like to use Spinner's adic uses on my plum trees.
Speaker 3: Last year I used it. I'm gonna use it again.
Speaker 3: This year.
Speaker 2: We had perfect.
Speaker 3: Plums, perfect pun about the big bottle, and I used
Speaker 3: it about once every week or so. Spinnish add is
Speaker 3: a it's a natural, organic kind of thing, and that's
Speaker 3: actually very effective. Okay, because my plumbs for flawless no worms. Wow,
Speaker 3: so nice. So you might consider it starting a program
Speaker 3: of that. I use a hose in spray or one
Speaker 3: of those proportional sprayers put on your hoss, just spray
Speaker 3: it like that, and it did a good job of
Speaker 3: keeping the bugs under control of my fruit trees. Now
Speaker 3: that they're getting a little old though. The plum tree
Speaker 3: to the west, yes, it's turned and dying off a
Speaker 3: little bit. It doesn't look that.
Speaker 2: Help starting to get plum.
Speaker 3: It was probably the last year for it. Or pick
Speaker 3: all the food off it. You know, there was a
Speaker 3: big firewood action and thing. Make cut it out, get
Speaker 3: a new it next fall. They're twenty years in the ground.
Speaker 3: Twenty years, I mean, yes, yeah. So anyways, the spinish
Speaker 3: add is a very good topical application. You want to
Speaker 3: avoid systemics at this time too. Knee oil is another
Speaker 3: good one for insects and for fungus. However, you want
Speaker 3: to make sure that you don't do it in the
Speaker 3: heat of the day because it will cause some leaf damage.
Speaker 2: So don't want those leaves to cook.
Speaker 3: Well, it seals them up, the oil does, and they
Speaker 3: can't breathe. They can't breathe, and they and they dry
Speaker 3: up kind of slowed away. So anyway, leaves, you know,
Speaker 3: you don't how a leaf works. Sure takes water up
Speaker 3: and they have a stomata on the bottom of the
Speaker 3: leaves and they open up. The hotter it gets, they
Speaker 3: open up and it draws more water up in the
Speaker 3: written and it evaporates and keeps it cool. So the
Speaker 3: leaves are big radiators too. They keep the plant cool,
Speaker 3: and they also take the sunshine and convert water and
Speaker 3: carbon dioxide and carbohydrates, which makes really delicious plums and
Speaker 3: cherries and peaches and so on.
Speaker 2: It does.
Speaker 3: So at these little sugar factories all over your yard.
Speaker 2: They bubble up and next thing you know, you gotta
Speaker 2: fruit exactly.
Speaker 3: So anyway, it's also timed in the basier garden warm
Speaker 3: seas and seeds, beans and stuff like that. Uh, not
Speaker 3: quite time yet for okrah. That comes a little bit later.
Speaker 3: But maybe a little magnesium sulfate on your tomatoes. They
Speaker 3: like a slightly low pH and they respond very well
Speaker 3: to epsom salt, not too much. It is a trace element.
Speaker 3: So we got colored. We do put them on.
Speaker 1: Good Morning, Welcome to the Green Country Gardener Program. Your
Speaker 1: question or comment for Larry Glass.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I've got zucchini and yellow squash, and last year
Speaker 11: I got a worm and the stem that just devastated everything.
Speaker 11: So what's a good spray for that?
Speaker 3: Well, I'd like to use the spinners add on that too,
Speaker 3: and you had to eat on the on the sprays.
Speaker 3: You have to be consistent with it. Once one shot
Speaker 3: will not do you. Remember that one shot you're good
Speaker 3: for the whole day. Well, that doesn't work. You have
Speaker 3: to have to go on a regular basis to do that.
Speaker 3: And that's one reason why I like the organics is, Uh,
Speaker 3: they're harmless to to humans, but it messes up the
Speaker 3: insect pretty much. So you have to be consistent with it.
Speaker 3: And those those worms typically enter at the at the
Speaker 3: main stem at some point.
Speaker 2: So yeah, so.
Speaker 3: You could, yeah, just make even the cedar malts might
Speaker 3: keep them away a little bit too. Just the smell
Speaker 3: of the ceedar might repel them too, But anyway, keep
Speaker 3: an eye on them. And uh, there's another one that
Speaker 3: BT basiloster genesis works very well on those creepy crawlers too,
Speaker 3: and it has some good residual activity because it is
Speaker 3: a basically a disease that the worms get.
Speaker 11: Okay, and you have that stuff out your place, you
Speaker 11: bet all right? I know, the like you rightly been
Speaker 11: having if you know it is a resistant rain or
Speaker 11: every time it raine, but you need to reapply.
Speaker 3: Or yeah, that'd be a good idea. Yeah, of course,
Speaker 3: now it's not going to rain to logust so September.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, that's usually what happens. So I had.
Speaker 11: Some beautiful plants and all of a sudden they were
Speaker 11: laying on straight.
Speaker 3: So anyway you need to and the uh, I would
Speaker 3: go with the thirst side. Really if you have a
Speaker 3: if if it's a caterpillar problem, uh, and you can
Speaker 3: concentrate it on the on the report of entry, which
Speaker 3: is typically kind of close to the stem. Okay, at
Speaker 3: the root, and you might go along the just the trunk.
Speaker 3: If you get it on the leaves, well it'll it'll
Speaker 3: stop the the caterpillars that'll live, these tiny little green
Speaker 3: worms that might be on the leaves.
Speaker 11: But if you get it at the base, do it at.
Speaker 3: The base and pretty much up the stem too, if possible.
Speaker 11: All right, and well they are they already askeeper what
Speaker 11: I need to I've got a day or two they'd
Speaker 11: be able to get it straight or.
Speaker 3: Yeah, i'd be all right, Yeah I should should be
Speaker 3: now once they get in once they get inside the plant,
Speaker 3: it's very difficult to control them. So you want to
Speaker 3: be kind of proactive and start a programming. It'll just
Speaker 3: take a bottle of a thoricide and that shouldn't do
Speaker 3: you for the summer.
Speaker 1: Really, thank you for recall. Appreciated as always. Eight twenty
Speaker 1: seven is our time. You can be a part of
Speaker 1: the program too at one eight hundred seven six.
Speaker 3: Oh, you're talking about vashtable gardens a little bit too. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and keep in mind how how well your your plants
Speaker 3: did last last summer. Tomatoes respond very well with these salts,
Speaker 3: and so you just do a little bit better. Now,
Speaker 3: don't overdo it because it is a trace element, so
Speaker 3: just just kind of sprinkles it goes the wrong way,
Speaker 3: don't take the whole bottle and go prove you know
Speaker 3: that won't work. More is not better. Actually, the center
Speaker 3: one of the elements of chlorophyll is a magnesium, so
Speaker 3: that's what makes it green, I guess, but there you go. So,
Speaker 3: so some of that would help a little bit too.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 3: And uh benefits uh uh hello, potatoes a little benefit
Speaker 3: from that too.
Speaker 2: We went from to tater taters, Yeah.
Speaker 3: So that they can benefit a little bit from that also,
Speaker 3: And what that does is I helped the plant to
Speaker 3: manufacture chlorophyll. So if it's a trade settlement, so it
Speaker 3: doesn't it doesn't take the lost you know. Yeah, just
Speaker 3: just shrinkle a little bit on the ground too, fine,
Speaker 3: uh gras on your lawns. This week, the Bermuda grass
Speaker 3: and zoystereo grass are really starting to grow real good.
Speaker 3: Right now it's taken off and what little bermuda grass
Speaker 3: I have left. I did spray some crab grass and
Speaker 3: it stopped and it didn't seem to control it, so
Speaker 3: we'll see. I'm just never home. My neighbor across the street,
Speaker 3: he does nothing about a horticle to do beautiful one
Speaker 3: in town. I'm just never home. So kind of so
Speaker 3: the permitter of soyster grass are going real well. My
Speaker 3: crab grass is coming up to you. And notice that
Speaker 3: Queen Florac is a good, good du solution for crabgrass.
Speaker 3: It's a good post emergent over side for that. Now crabgrass,
Speaker 3: you need to apply a pre emergent in February March
Speaker 3: that to really work, but maybe April depending on the weather.
Speaker 3: But anyway, Q or Queen Quinn chlorac is a good
Speaker 3: post emergent control for crabgrass. You want to get it
Speaker 3: while it's young, too, because it is tough to control.
Speaker 3: Once it goes to save you almost had to forget it.
Speaker 3: You just have to get on your hands and knees
Speaker 3: and pull it up. Use a claw hammer works real.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say to weep.
Speaker 3: It out, yeah, or I have my boots on when
Speaker 3: I'm moan in the grass, I just kick them out anyway.
Speaker 3: So that's kind of it with grass now. Fesci Grass says,
Speaker 3: right now you need to start raising them over a
Speaker 3: little bit on that because it's gonna be hot pretty soon,
Speaker 3: so it maybe won't happen this year. You know, in
Speaker 3: the past, we've had summers where not never hit one hundred.
Speaker 2: Find that hard to believe.
Speaker 1: Yes, I've lived here for six years and I can't
Speaker 1: I can't remember.
Speaker 3: I think it was the early nineties when that happened.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, so that's a great summer. You can work
Speaker 3: all day outside and at ninety eight point seven degree weather.
Speaker 1: You know, the first first times I ever came to Oklahoma,
Speaker 1: I was living in Illinois at the time. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: my daughter was going to You'm because every time August
Speaker 1: came and we're getting things ready for moving and all that, Oh,
Speaker 1: it'd be a little cooler today, It'd only be one
Speaker 1: hundred and two.
Speaker 2: I'm thinking, my.
Speaker 3: Gosh, yeah cool. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, September August around here just got
Speaker 1: to be murder. Well then I moved here, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, may's not too bad. June, July, August, September
Speaker 1: kind of forget about it. It's going to be hot.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's just such a bicul weather pattern we have.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's usually right there between ninety seven and
Speaker 1: one oh two.
Speaker 3: I went to a convention one year in the past,
Speaker 3: just thirty years ago, and in July, and it was
Speaker 3: like four thousand degrees over here. It was fifty five
Speaker 3: degrees that day we were there. We were frazy. We
Speaker 3: weren't prepared for that. So cold, and you know the
Speaker 3: way the wind howls up there between those buildings.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The most fun on that was it was the cab
Speaker 3: ride come from the Air Force. Yeah, Totado is with us.
Speaker 3: He wanted to impress. We were going down the dan
Speaker 3: Ryde Expressway. Yea, yeah, at about ninety miles an hour,
Speaker 3: in a construction zone.
Speaker 2: Well you can do that in a cap They know where,
Speaker 2: they know what they get.
Speaker 12: Know.
Speaker 3: He ran, he ran red lights and everything else. We
Speaker 3: got down to the downtown, sheared, and I still remember that.
Speaker 3: My daughter and her friend were just laughing in the
Speaker 3: back to you. But you're having a ball and the
Speaker 3: guy he was, he was laughing to it. Is just
Speaker 3: so much.
Speaker 1: Fun, like joy writing, especially when you go past the cops.
Speaker 2: Good thing you guys. We're not on Lake Shore Drive.
Speaker 2: We're doing the LSD.
Speaker 3: So anyway, it's going to get hot, and uh, you
Speaker 3: want to get that crab grass under control right now,
Speaker 3: getting back to normal. Yeah, you want to get the
Speaker 3: crab grass under control. So Q is a good thing
Speaker 3: for that. Okay, go ahead.
Speaker 1: We've gotta have to take a little break here, and
Speaker 1: we'll come back and we will have more of the
Speaker 1: Green Country Gardener program for you in just two minutes.

Speaker 1: Oh, welcome back to the Greek Country Gardner program. It
Speaker 1: is eight thirty five and you can be a part
Speaker 1: of our program too.
Speaker 2: It's very easy.
Speaker 1: Pick up the telephone now, whether it's a wireless or
Speaker 1: got a wire on it hanging off the wall, we
Speaker 1: don't care what eight hundred and seventy four three sixth
Speaker 1: arry which.
Speaker 3: Creat myrtles, And I've observed on a lot of creat myrtles.
Speaker 3: The scale scale it's a little insect. It's kind of
Speaker 3: hard to see. They are attacks. They're attacking uanimous as well.
Speaker 3: There's the auanomous scale going around to and it's an
Speaker 3: insect that crawls up the tree and then it plants
Speaker 3: itself on the stem and just draws the juices out
Speaker 3: of the plant, sucks a living life out, and then
Speaker 3: then it kicks out a sugary substance that the ants like,
Speaker 3: and they spread the word. They carry the eggs all
Speaker 3: over the place too. That's what we call a symbiosis.
Speaker 3: So anyway, so look very closely at your crpe mertle,
Speaker 3: and the scales are not that hard to see. Look
Speaker 3: at the stem, it should be smooth. They have a
Speaker 3: very smooth bark on them, except for the new the
Speaker 3: new barkt it tends to be a somewhat vertically extriated.
Speaker 3: But anyway, it does have a relatively smooth bark. And
Speaker 3: if there's these tiny little protrusions all over the place,
Speaker 3: so that's scale, and it can actually kill your create
Speaker 3: myrtle over time. So you can put down some a
Speaker 3: medical oporate on it, or you can use the on
Speaker 3: the on the ground as a as a systemic. It's
Speaker 3: rather effective on that too, or a topical application of
Speaker 3: a spind as ad or three months ago. It's in
Speaker 3: Dorman oil. But anyway, so crate myrtle's crate myrtle. Scale
Speaker 3: is getting really bad and the aantumus scale is starting
Speaker 3: to spread pretty bad too. Right now, and I can't
Speaker 3: remember what the plant was, but I saw some scale
Speaker 3: in it. It will probably come to me, but I
Speaker 3: thought that rather unusual that this particular plant. I just
Speaker 3: can't remember the name of it right now. You see
Speaker 3: thousands from every week at somebody's house and anyway, you're
Speaker 3: just swimming with it. Yeah, yeah, just covered it. And
Speaker 3: it's it's something that typically doesn't get it and oak tree,
Speaker 3: oakley or oak stem scale. It's really bad.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: Also, Wow, like I think I'm mentioned a pandemic. I
Speaker 3: think I mentioned this last last week that the stems
Speaker 3: were covered absolutely covered with scale insects.
Speaker 1: Didn't know, we didn't do that last week, but wow,
Speaker 1: had something.
Speaker 3: To see and it's uh, it can cause some serious
Speaker 3: damage to your to your plant. Imagine because the plants
Speaker 3: that typically they make, you know, a superfluous amount of
Speaker 3: sugar in their in their in their photosynthesis. Well this
Speaker 3: robs that tree that sugar's going down to the roots
Speaker 3: for storage and all that, and uh, it makes them
Speaker 3: kind of sick and then you have a susceptibility to
Speaker 3: diseases and whatnot. So keep an eye on it. Look
Speaker 3: onto your oak trees, the branches that are hanging down
Speaker 3: to see if you see these little tiny little round
Speaker 3: things that look like almost like tiny little fried eggs,
Speaker 3: but they're brown, and you can pop them off and
Speaker 3: you squeeze them, you know, so yeah, like Jenny, Yeah,
Speaker 3: well they're like their insects and that, and it's on
Speaker 3: your It will be on your crate myrtles right now,
Speaker 3: which is is almost an epidemic level at this point.
Speaker 3: It is an epidemic level at this point on your
Speaker 3: crate myrtles, craate myrtle scale, So look at it real closely,
Speaker 3: and there there's some cures. Come by the nursery. You
Speaker 3: might bring a clip off or branch and bring it out.
Speaker 3: If you question it, then we can do it. That's
Speaker 3: a scale al right, you got it out back for you. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so uh.
Speaker 2: Where did you put that?
Speaker 3: These little insects and measure the weight of the scales.
Speaker 3: So anyway, crate martles. We should see a significant amount
Speaker 3: of activity on crate myrtles at this point in time.
Speaker 3: Scratch the mark if for green, if if there's the
Speaker 3: leaves aren't coming out, just scratch it with your thumbnail.
Speaker 3: If there's green underneath it. It's maybe in a cool
Speaker 3: spart of the yard spot of the yard perhaps and
Speaker 3: it doesn't get as much heat as it would in
Speaker 3: the open, and it's just a matter of time before
Speaker 3: it for it leaves out or for the most part,
Speaker 3: they're really out by now. So if they're not out,
Speaker 3: you got to you might have some troubles with them.
Speaker 3: And it's probably scale related. A byproduct for the scale
Speaker 3: insect is a blackening of the stems. That's a mold
Speaker 3: created by the sugars they exude, and it's a black
Speaker 3: stem giveaway. Go to people's house and say you've got
Speaker 3: scaled in the same I beg your pardon, Oh your
Speaker 3: crape myrtle has a scale, so watch out for that too.
Speaker 3: Roses right now, golly, I have some knockouts on the
Speaker 3: north side of my house and they're they're doing very well.
Speaker 3: They're away from the hot sun, so they're kind of
Speaker 3: they're about ten feet away or so from the house,
Speaker 3: and they're on the north side, so that doesn't really
Speaker 3: get very you know, relatively it's hot over there as
Speaker 3: it does otherwise. And they're doing fine, and they're blooming
Speaker 3: right now. I see a lot of roses at people's houses.
Speaker 3: So maybe this rosette disease will run its course, hopefully,
Speaker 3: and perhaps we can have some roses. We do have,
Speaker 3: like I mentioned earlier, some drift roads. At this point,
Speaker 3: they seem to be more resistant than the knock out
Speaker 3: another roses too, So you might if you want some roses,
Speaker 3: you might consider getting some of those.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: And as this pandemic of rosette disease, you know they
Speaker 3: always run their course, yeah, seem to. Then we can
Speaker 3: get back to growing some nice roses. Okay.
Speaker 1: All right, so we got taken under break. Believe it
Speaker 1: or not. Boy, we've got things up popping today. It
Speaker 1: is eight forty two. We'll be back after this two
Speaker 1: minute timeout.
Speaker 4: This Mother's Day. Say it with flowers from Green Thumb Nursery.

Speaker 2: Hi, I'm Jimmy Smith.
Speaker 15: Colorectal cancer is highly preventable, yet it is the second
Speaker 15: leading cancer killer of men.
Speaker 6: And women in the US.
Speaker 13: But it doesn't have to be so please get screened
Speaker 13: for colorectal cancer.
Speaker 3: I did.
Speaker 10: If you're fifty year older, get screened for colorectal cancer.
Speaker 10: A message from the US Department of Health and Human Services.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Green Country Gardener Program. It is
Speaker 1: eight forty four and total pre number one.
Speaker 2: Three six thirty class.
Speaker 3: Where are we here right now? Dogwoods? Right now, dogwoods
Speaker 3: are pretty much done blooming unless you have calcul dog
Speaker 3: with Korean dogwood blom a little bit later. So if
Speaker 3: you want more extended color, you might consider mixing the
Speaker 3: species in the yard perhaps to get some extended color.
Speaker 3: But anyway, it'd be time to turn them back pretty soon.
Speaker 3: If you need to turn them back, I don't mind.
Speaker 3: I haven't trimmed it back. It's gross, kind of wild
Speaker 3: his way over on top of the pergola and between
Speaker 3: the house and the shed, and I can't see it
Speaker 3: when But anyway, yes, so they need it's time to
Speaker 3: do some trimming if you need to on the dogwoods.
Speaker 3: Watch her bores on your dogwoods too. They're susceptible to them. Also.
Speaker 3: That's the number one killer of dog woods, or the bores.
Speaker 3: What you look for is peeling bark, and bark that
Speaker 3: is peeled off and in the wood down down belowed
Speaker 3: is exposed. Look for little tiny holes in the cm too.
Speaker 3: The bores like it being in an area that's exposed
Speaker 3: to sunshine. So if you have a dog with this's outside,
Speaker 3: chances are the boors are oriented on the southwest side
Speaker 3: of the tree. We've mentioned this before, that is the
Speaker 3: southwest tree disease, and it's caused by bores and the
Speaker 3: maples and things like that are you know, attracted, and
Speaker 3: it's a it's an interesting strategy on their part because
Speaker 3: it's incrementally warmer on the southwest side of time, so
Speaker 3: they kind of take advantage.
Speaker 2: Of that.
Speaker 3: Going to people's houses. A whole roll of maple trees,
Speaker 3: every single one in the southwest side had bored on them,
Speaker 3: and I've told them what to do about them. You
Speaker 3: get some systemic on it. Used to used to be
Speaker 3: able to use lending, and I think that's limited Tibetan
Speaker 3: areage anymore now, but you can't get it over counter anymore,
Speaker 3: so we use the aminoiclobrid does a pretty good job
Speaker 3: keep them under control. So it's kind of the same
Speaker 3: thing with the fruit trees, et cetera. They didn't get
Speaker 3: borers too. So look for at this point on your
Speaker 3: fruit tree some SAPs seeping out just spontaneously on the trunk,
Speaker 3: and then look underneath it and look at the hole
Speaker 3: and see if it's circular in nature, and that's an
Speaker 3: entry point and it could be a problem too. So
Speaker 3: typically they go after old, weak things. So one of
Speaker 3: my fruit trees are live one or I'm still alive.
Speaker 3: But anyway, so the fruit trees are oh they have
Speaker 3: a lifespan, so they do so, but the bores can
Speaker 3: get to be a problem. Another thing right now that
Speaker 3: people are interested in is a landscape plan. And from
Speaker 3: a little chip here, I got lots of them. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: and I can email them or text them. I've done
Speaker 3: that a lot of texting to people.
Speaker 1: You know, there are people who've been thinking about this
Speaker 1: for a long time, sometimes years. Yeah, and they don't
Speaker 1: know what this is all about. They've heard about it
Speaker 1: and they're like, I don't now, Well, you know what
Speaker 1: Larry showed me here right here in the studio on
Speaker 1: his phone. What some of these things look like, these
Speaker 1: plants that he puts out for people, and they are
Speaker 1: just awesome. And you know what, you even have the
Speaker 1: price points on the plants that you.
Speaker 2: Have in every part of the yard.
Speaker 1: So this is not one of these things where you know,
Speaker 1: Larry's just doing a little sketcher does his homework and
Speaker 1: he really puts out a neat little plan for Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, where is that?
Speaker 2: Oh wow, yeah, cool, i'd say, so.
Speaker 3: There's a oh yeah, so you can see what it
Speaker 3: looks like in real life.
Speaker 1: So that's that's you've got proportion, you got you know,
Speaker 1: everything going on there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and and really a lastscape plan should be tailored
Speaker 3: to the architecture of the house, the ins and outs,
Speaker 3: the windows, and they.
Speaker 2: Got to work with each other. Baby. Yeah.
Speaker 3: It has a compliments, so many of them that they
Speaker 3: got these big old bushes hiding the house, hide in
Speaker 3: the windows. You can't see out the windows for the
Speaker 3: back end of these big old hollis they put in there,
Speaker 3: or oversize box foot or something. So yeah, anyway, so
Speaker 3: you kind of play up a little bit, and it's
Speaker 3: supposed to compliment their house, to compete with it. It's
Speaker 3: a bit of an art to that. Even even the
Speaker 3: layout of the bed right there, it emphasizes the front
Speaker 3: door and there's one down there in the corner, and
Speaker 3: the way the windows are ranged too. You use little
Speaker 3: things in between the windows and so on. Sure, so
Speaker 3: it uh it. And on the entryway you put these
Speaker 3: big vertical things. This is the entrance you know, you gotta.
Speaker 2: It's kind of like a wafering.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, identity thing. Yeah, this is This is exactly
Speaker 3: where you come in the house. And it can make
Speaker 3: an old house look new again.
Speaker 1: It sure can, just a little bit of work. Let's
Speaker 1: go to the phone, Shair real quick. Hi, you're on
Speaker 1: with the Green Country Gardener. Your question or comment for Larry, Yes.
Speaker 16: Thank you. You're talking about a meticlop word, which made
Speaker 16: me think of a question I've been meaning to try
Speaker 16: to find the answer to. And what I'm targeting is bores.
Speaker 16: Trying to keep bores out of well almost everything around here,
Speaker 16: since I have a little bit of a bore problem.
Speaker 16: Yeah yeah, it gets frustrating, it's not boring, and so
Speaker 16: timing it each year. I also have bees, so timing
Speaker 16: it each year for after bloom stage and all of
Speaker 16: that so we don't don't affect the bees as it
Speaker 16: takes it up. But it has brought up the question
Speaker 16: of if plants taking up the medicloprid and it's going
Speaker 16: around my peaches and pairs and the cons does that
Speaker 16: get secreted in to the fruit and the nuts. Also,
Speaker 16: is that a problem.
Speaker 3: I've read some research on that, and actually between the
Speaker 3: flower and the tree there's what's called abscission layer, and
Speaker 3: it's on the leaves as well, Okay, and there's research
Speaker 3: being done. Some people deny it, and some people say
Speaker 3: it's true that it doesn't make it past that that
Speaker 3: point the abscission layer, Okay. In other words, when in
Speaker 3: the fall the leave falls off and the abscess and
Speaker 3: this is a almost a little quirky layer that apparently
Speaker 3: it doesn't go through. So the molecule molecule is probably
Speaker 3: a bit big for that. Maybe I don't know, but
Speaker 3: I hear pros and cons on that that.
Speaker 2: It does.
Speaker 3: What the the the aminocloprid works on the on the
Speaker 3: nervous system of the insect, a factor that's unique to insects,
Speaker 3: not really mammals.
Speaker 16: So okay, so it wouldn't it wouldn't be working on
Speaker 16: my nervous system. Also, then I don't suppose no.
Speaker 3: Okay, what what little mike get past the position layer?
Speaker 3: It will hurt you, I read it out it will,
Speaker 3: but I haven't. I haven't heard anything any negative aspect
Speaker 3: of using it.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 16: I'll probably still try to be as careful as possible
Speaker 16: with the bees. I mean putting it on after bloom
Speaker 16: stage on everything.
Speaker 3: I've also read things about the not about it not
Speaker 3: affecting the bees too, because that doesn't get past that layer.
Speaker 16: Yeah right, yeah, so it wasn't getting past it wasn't
Speaker 16: getting past this layer that it wouldn't affect the bees.
Speaker 16: But I don't think I'll take that chance.
Speaker 3: No, absolutely, there's something I don't do that on my
Speaker 3: fruit trees as they were from. If you will, but
Speaker 3: but I don't. I don't apply that until after the
Speaker 3: bosses are gone.
Speaker 16: Yeah, okay, all right, very good.
Speaker 6: That's what I was.
Speaker 16: That's what I was wondering, and you'd suddenly reminded me
Speaker 16: I needed to know. So thank you very much.
Speaker 3: All right, thanks for that's what we're here for.
Speaker 1: Way you try to get out all the valuable information
Speaker 1: you can ever want. Tell you what, Larry, we've got
Speaker 1: a big old time out coming our way, So we're
Speaker 1: going to come back with a little bit more of
Speaker 1: the Green Country Gardener program in a moment, and it
Speaker 1: will be after this four minute time out.

Speaker 6: Jane Phillips and Bartlesville.
Speaker 18: Frank Phillips, the old man with barred wire nerves and
Speaker 18: the courage of a wolf, didn't realize his own capacity
Speaker 18: to love until after the death of his dear wife
Speaker 18: Jane in nineteen forty eight. He no longer heard her
Speaker 18: laughter in the mansion in town, nor enjoyed the long
Speaker 18: drives out to his beloved Woolarock where they would often
Speaker 18: go to share an evening dinner. After her death, he
Speaker 18: found himself waking to the cold reality of her absence
Speaker 18: and confided to others that his soul ached. More and
Speaker 18: more of Frank's time was being spent at the ranch,
Speaker 18: sitting on the front porch of the lodge and enjoying
Speaker 18: the magnificent view and likely reflecting back on an incredible
Speaker 18: life of personal and professional accomplishments. However, without his wife
Speaker 18: in the chair next to him, these simple joys became
Speaker 18: shallow to Uncle Frank. After her death, those around Frank
Speaker 18: soon discovered that he had one desire, and that was
Speaker 18: to build a mausolem at Woolarock to serve as a
Speaker 18: final resting place for Jane and himself. He had picked
Speaker 18: out the spot years before, a favorite spot that overlooked
Speaker 18: one of the beautiful lakes that dotted the grounds of
Speaker 18: the ranch, inspired by the memorial built for his good
Speaker 18: friend Will Rogers and Claremore, the mausolem soon became the
Speaker 18: primary focus of Frank's life. Once construction started on the
Speaker 18: masolem in nineteen forty nine, he personally came out every
Speaker 18: day to see how work was progressing. Frank wanted it
Speaker 18: within walking distance of the lodge, yet not directly in
Speaker 18: the public eye, which is why he chose the site
Speaker 18: above Elk Lake, one of his favorite fishing holes at Woollock.
Speaker 18: Built of native stone with no cut edges, the tomb
Speaker 18: appeared to spring from the side of the hill as
Speaker 18: if it was part of the terrain. Workmen blasted through
Speaker 18: eighteen feet of solid rock to form the burial chamber,
Speaker 18: and the twenty four square foot room was lined with
Speaker 18: a twelve inch steel reinforced concrete wall. The chamber was
Speaker 18: air conditioned and a telephone was installed inside. The mausolem
Speaker 18: is a circular rotunda outlined by eight columns of Saint
Speaker 18: Cecilia marble imported from Italy, which rises ten feet to
Speaker 18: a dome. The walls are covered with thousands of mosaic tiles,
Speaker 18: and in the center of the room is an eight
Speaker 18: pointed star formed by the different shades of marble. Construction
Speaker 18: took about a year, and as soon as it was completed,
Speaker 18: Frank had Jane's casket brought from White Rose Cemetery and
Speaker 18: a memorial service was held at the new mausolem. To
Speaker 18: his friends and staff, mister Phillips seemed happier than at
Speaker 18: any time in recent years. His final work was completed
Speaker 18: and he could return to the porch of the lodge,
Speaker 18: which he did until his death on August twenty third,
Speaker 18: nineteen fifty. The magic of Woollarock is a story worth sharing,
Speaker 18: and it can be found everywhere at this National treasure.
Speaker 18: Come see it for yourself and welcome home to Wollarock.

Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Green Country Gardener program. Meeting is
Speaker 1: at eight fifty seven and our phone line open at
Speaker 1: one eight hundred seven four nine five ninety three six.
Speaker 1: We've had very good questions for from our audience today.
Speaker 3: What the one thing people are a little concerned about.
Speaker 3: We've had all this rain and everything's really nice. Well
Speaker 3: it's going to quit it is, and appeal what can
Speaker 3: I do to help save water in my landscape?
Speaker 2: How?
Speaker 3: Yeah, very deep soil preparation. Take that shovel and jump
Speaker 3: on it up and down. Should be that hard, right now?
Speaker 3: What you like it is? And try to get it
Speaker 3: turned over real good and put some peat, moss or
Speaker 3: compost or something like that. What that does is actually
Speaker 3: the battery to help hold water. In other words, it'll
Speaker 3: get really dry or get really wet. Well, this kind
Speaker 3: of if you look at it, if you if you
Speaker 3: do a graph line graph showing wet, dry, wet like that,
Speaker 3: that's the way it is. If you if there's anything
Speaker 3: you can do to flattnet that curve more of a
Speaker 3: smooth wave like that. Yeah, and then in your plants
Speaker 3: that will prosper and do a lot better because they're
Speaker 3: not under stress. Now people wonder why we go through
Speaker 3: so much trouble to do a ground prip moving during landscapes.
Speaker 3: Well that's one reason why. Is because because you need
Speaker 3: to put a little flywheel effect on the on the
Speaker 3: plus is a minus of available water on the plants.
Speaker 3: Once you get established in the galley, they're almost bulletproof
Speaker 3: because their roots are grown out in it. They're down
Speaker 3: deep in the soil too, and they can take good
Speaker 3: advantage of this.
Speaker 2: And you just got to give them a fighting chance, right,
Speaker 2: and add some mulch.
Speaker 3: On the surface too that that helped prevent evaporative loss.
Speaker 3: And don't skimp on it. You need two inches of moches.
Speaker 3: So I've had to have my crew go back and
Speaker 3: remote because they didn't put down enough on a project.
Speaker 2: Now then, oh you're a task list.
Speaker 3: I know they don't. They don't get anything past the
Speaker 3: old man. Let me tell you. Anyway you've got you've
Speaker 3: got to follow those practices and you'll have good success.
Speaker 3: And it's a lot of work. It's a lot of backwork.
Speaker 3: Like I said, I've been doing it for forty fifty
Speaker 3: years something like that. Hadn't hurt hadn't hurt my health
Speaker 3: any I mean no.
Speaker 2: In fact, it's kind of been hands dr.
Speaker 3: Out, not a bit really, so all that all that
Speaker 3: workout and exercise helps out a whole lot too. So anyway,
Speaker 3: so get to get that ground ready, to get it prepared. Anyway,
Speaker 3: come by the nursery and check us out. We've got
Speaker 3: all kinds of stuff over there the nursery right now.
Speaker 3: Flower we got flower big old flower pots and hanging
Speaker 3: baskets everywhere, and all kinds of annuals put in the
Speaker 3: yard and make it look pretty. And while you're there,
Speaker 3: get a bag of a bag of composts rather to
Speaker 3: help the plant out. And you got to really mix
Speaker 3: that into the soil pretty thoroughly to get it to work.
Speaker 3: That compost and the plants will love you for it,
Speaker 3: because when we do flower plants all that, we always
Speaker 3: add that to it. They seem to do real well
Speaker 3: with it too. It helps the water get down in
Speaker 3: there too. Anyway, Come by the nursery, check us out
Speaker 3: on the south side of the road, smacked between Madison
