WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.199 --> 00:00:04.759 Good morning, and welcome to the Green Country Gardener Program 2 00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:07.679 right here on K one. Hey, I'm fourteen hundred, FM 3 00:00:07.719 --> 00:00:10.800 ninety three point three and FMT ninety five point one. 4 00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:13.000 The Green Country. 5 00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:15.839 Gardener Program with our expert Larry Glass, is brought to 6 00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:21.160 you by Green Plumb Nursery and Greenhouses, United, Reynolds, Kelly Banks, 7 00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:26.879 Tree Service, Roman's Outdoor Power, Accent, Pest Control, Ascension, Saint John, 8 00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:46.079 James Phillips, and Gateway First Back. Yeah, morning, good morning, 9 00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:48.600 good morning, welcome, welcome, welcome time for the Green Country 10 00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:51.759 Gardener Program. Our total three numbers one eight hundred seven 11 00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:53.200 four nine five ninety three six. 12 00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:54.840 I'm Tom. I just had to the phone. 13 00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:59.079 Larry Glass is our expert, and my goodness, stakes things 14 00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:01.719 are getting green and things are popping up all over the. 15 00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:03.119 Place, the best time of the year. 16 00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:06.280 All of sudden, like we have a month of rain. Yeah, 17 00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:10.400 well it's about yeah, it was a month, tell me 18 00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:15.159 about it. Sitting around going and I wish we could 19 00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:23.319 go to work outside. Finally, Actually it's still kind of 20 00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:26.079 went out there. We're doing some work yesterday on the chart. 21 00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:30.319 It's just it's still just muddy. But we'll get going 22 00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:34.719 on it. We're expected to hide schedule. So what else 23 00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:35.120 is new? 24 00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:35.319 You know? 25 00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:38.159 Spring time in Oklahoma in Kansas. 26 00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:41.239 Yeah, it rains and then now what's gonna be the 27 00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:46.560 middle of May? Yep, then no rain till September. Then 28 00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:47.799 the ground gets like rock. 29 00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:50.000 Then we get a couple of beauties and then it 30 00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:51.319 dries up again for winter. 31 00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:56.560 Anyway, today is a big day of the nursery. We 32 00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:00.120 got lots of annuals and perennials and trees and shrubs, 33 00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:03.799 so come on check it out. We have some hydraches red, 34 00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:05.359 white and blue. They need good soil. 35 00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:05.640 Though. 36 00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:12.000 We have a new truckload of composts. We're so excited yesterday. 37 00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:15.080 And we also have bulk compost too. 38 00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:16.000 Oh very good. 39 00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:18.520 See back up your trailer, will hoist it in there 40 00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:22.680 with the caboda and get you some composts. Nothing like 41 00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:27.479 big old tomatoes that do so well in all that compost. Yeah, 42 00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:29.680 you plant a tomato and clay you're just gonna get. 43 00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:32.039 You're gonna get what you get, leaf. 44 00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:34.319 Spot and blossoming rods. 45 00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:38.319 Put it in the good stuff though, next thing you know, 46 00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:39.120 you got good eat. 47 00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:42.719 I did that for somebody a while back. But I 48 00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:47.479 just put a superfluous amount of composts. Wow, and man, 49 00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:50.840 they had tomatoes and about the size. 50 00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:55.560 Of pumpkins the gorge. But still they have a. 51 00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:59.080 Good quantity and good supply tomatoes too. It's also important 52 00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:01.840 to towards the planting far apart to where they don't 53 00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.639 grab each other out, you know what, don't crawl the 54 00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:08.719 tomatoes grow. Yeah, So anyway, so that's kind of what's 55 00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:12.719 going on with the nursery too. Got some malts, good 56 00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:18.639 looking milks too, you're into that. Yeah, hanging baskets and uh, 57 00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:24.080 these are big flower pots. Put a biogle ribbon on 58 00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:25.159 it and say. 59 00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:29.520 Here mon, Larry grew it for me. 60 00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:31.759 Yea water it once a week or twice a week. 61 00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:37.240 And some color pots what we call them. And there's 62 00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:39.319 several different species of plants depending on whether or not 63 00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:43.039 you have sun or shade. So we sometimes we try 64 00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:46.520 to ask questions about on what side of the house 65 00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:48.919 is this part going to be and so on, and 66 00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:51.400 then'll kind of steer them in the right direction as 67 00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:53.840 to what do Well, there you go. Because there's plants. 68 00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:56.800 They are a product of their environment, and so if 69 00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:58.800 you put them in the wrong environment, you've got the 70 00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:06.280 cattle skulls and dead twigs into flower pots or or 71 00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:11.159 real stretchy plants in the shade. So so you kind 72 00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:13.879 of want to know on your hanging pots, in your baskets, 73 00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:16.480 what what face of the house that's on. Can we 74 00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:19.680 guide you there too? They make a great gifts. Also, 75 00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:23.120 we do have some good supply drift ROAs is right now. 76 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:27.240 Drift roses get about who knee high or so, and 77 00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:32.319 some of them I think they're self self pruning. I 78 00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:34.920 think I don't maybe I don't know, but anyway, and 79 00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:39.519 they just bloom pretty much all the time. We sold 80 00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:42.680 a lot on this last week too, because they are 81 00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:45.720 they're very easy to grow. They just need a fair 82 00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:49.160 amount of sunshine. It's some good drainage and some good soil. 83 00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:55.160 So there are three factories we don't always have, that's true, 84 00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:59.480 at least two of them don't have. That's what we 85 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:03.800 have to mind. And somebody came in they wanted an 86 00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:06.360 a plant. Well, we tried it before and they died. 87 00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:07.920 Andy said, well, what are you doing to the soil? 88 00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:13.319 And nothing? Well, azalias are what we call irracacious. What 89 00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:16.360 does that mean? I mean they require an acid soil 90 00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:20.079 and are a resident soil here is a pH of 91 00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:23.000 as little as six point five, but up to seven, 92 00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:26.439 sometimes up to eight, and that's pretty much toxic for 93 00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:29.800 these alias. So we showed us some other options. Maybe 94 00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:31.959 that might worry, but really most of these plants that 95 00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:35.319 grow in the shade do require a somewhat lower pH 96 00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:38.240 because are typically under the canopy of trees. 97 00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:39.279 Yeah, not. 98 00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:43.439 pH is kind of low. There are some parts in 99 00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:46.319 Woodland Park, for instance, the pH is like five point five. 100 00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:49.360 We've done some tests in the past and it's like 101 00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:56.920 you know, vinegar, the pH scale is exponential, so the 102 00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:59.439 lower yougo, the rore acid is and you know you've 103 00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:01.040 got hydrochl work acid. 104 00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:07.519 Your foul, your while you're walking across the feeder sily 105 00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:08.759 and the acid. 106 00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:13.800 So it so it's kind of a narrow range really 107 00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:17.120 about five and a half to seven and a half 108 00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:20.199 or so. When plants will will grow after that is 109 00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:26.839 either you know, a dead cell. So if your plants 110 00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:29.759 aren't doing well and all the other factors are in 111 00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:33.519 place as far as shady requirements and drainage and water, 112 00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:36.639 it could be just a soil chemistry is not quite right, 113 00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:41.360 just getting easily remitted by a by a test. Then 114 00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:46.439 they then you can make lime or iron sulfate or 115 00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:51.079 sulfur to alter the PhD the soil those particular plants. 116 00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:53.439 Another thing you can tell if your pH is too 117 00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:57.079 high in your zeal is diminished leaf size. This also 118 00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:00.720 happens on holly plants too, and all the plants such 119 00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:02.920 as the Burford holly or the American holly, we'll have 120 00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:07.319 black spots on them. A lower pH or iron deficiency 121 00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:12.560 creates a susceptibility to leaf spot. So if you do 122 00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:17.360 have yellow spotty leaves on your hollies and the leaves 123 00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:20.480 a little smaller than they were when when you first 124 00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:25.000 got the plant, your pH is more likely too high. 125 00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:29.639 So iron self eate. I use iron on my iron 126 00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:32.680 on my boxwoods and hollis at my house. They do 127 00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:37.879 just fine. Gives them nice because I live on the 128 00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:38.800 surface of Mars. 129 00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:39.800 Yeah, pretty much. 130 00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:45.680 They finally got down with the fiber lines of the 131 00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:46.519 second go round. 132 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:50.000 How many times did they break their drills and digging equipment. 133 00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:51.720 I don't know. They took away big old pile of 134 00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:59.120 rocks this idea. It was four weeks this time, so 135 00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:03.720 have had two months. Either these artistic sculptures in the 136 00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:06.720 front yard or just big old pile of rocks and 137 00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:09.759 all this equipment sitting out there, had a bunch of 138 00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:10.959 people scratching their heads. 139 00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:12.920 Goodness. 140 00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:14.560 So anyway, they got it done and they got to 141 00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:16.079 they gotta cleaned up. They did a pretty good job 142 00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:23.399 cleaning up, put some grass on it. So so anyway, 143 00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:26.040 that's that's a testament to our solar quality. And that's 144 00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:28.480 probably why I have weeds in my heart. 145 00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:32.480 Too busy take care of everybody exactly. 146 00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:35.759 So anyway, you might come out check out hanging baskets 147 00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:39.000 for Mother's Day. They make really great gifts, or color 148 00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:43.480 pots quite well, and maybe some roses for some good 149 00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:47.000 reliable color. But if things aren't doing very well, if 150 00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:49.000 you're want to plant some roses and just plants just 151 00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:53.360 really you're just not thriving u the rose will probably 152 00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:55.559 follow the same suit. So you might want to consider 153 00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:59.919 getting a backup compost while you're out too. And don't 154 00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:02.879 a little bit but a big preparation had to teach 155 00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:05.720 my guys how to plant plants. It said, no, you're 156 00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:07.559 you're not putting your cork in the ground. You need 157 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:12.519 to dig a large hole and add this compost because 158 00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:15.320 you look what the trees are planted in from the grower. 159 00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:18.759 It's a very loose mixture and you put it in 160 00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:21.759 the clay, that's quite a bit of culture shock. And 161 00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:26.080 also the clay doesn't transmit water as fast as as 162 00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:29.480 the lootor soil does, and the pot will will tend 163 00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:33.039 to dry out quicker than the other plants. And even 164 00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:35.000 though we've had some rain in the ground as moist, 165 00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:36.879 if you put something in the ground and don't have 166 00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:38.639 a way for the water to get into the plant, 167 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:43.559 then it's going to dry out, which seems kind of weird, 168 00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:46.720 but it does. It happens because all the water is 169 00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:49.120 used up in that one little pot, and if the 170 00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:53.559 soil around it is heavy, the water doesn't transmit very 171 00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:57.639 fast into if at all. So that's kind of why 172 00:09:57.679 --> 00:10:02.200 we say, do a hole twice as big as the plant, 173 00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:05.919 or three times or whatever. Yeah, and then and then 174 00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:10.159 mix in some stuff. So the plant is planted in 175 00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:14.440 a barkie kind of mixture and the soil is kind 176 00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:17.200 of heavy around here, something to transition it to that 177 00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:19.200 you'll be much better off. That's why we do a 178 00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:21.279 lot of ground prep when we do landscaping. I bet 179 00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:23.639 you do un there with a tiller and the shovels 180 00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:26.200 and it's one project. We put a whole palette of 181 00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:28.879 compost in and so, yeah. 182 00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:35.000 Jay, what We're gonna take a quick break. We'll be 183 00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:37.320 right back after this two minute timeout. 184 00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:42.159 This Mother's Day. Say it with flowers from Green Thumb Nursery. 185 00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:47.159 Brighton Mom's Day, with vibrant hanging baskets, blooming African violets 186 00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:50.679 and fresh annuals and perennials.

It's the Greek Country Gardener program 225 00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:54.720 and you can be a part of it. With your 226 00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:58.039 questions about your lawy, your garden. Virtually anything that grows 227 00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:02.679 one eight hundred three six, I should say out of 228 00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:04.720 the ground, because you know, if we start getting things 229 00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:09.559 about kids. It's been a while since we've restars. But anyway, 230 00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:13.720 things that grow, things that grow. Right now, it looks 231 00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:15.320 like the client list is growing here. 232 00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:19.120 Oh no, that's that's uh, that's one of those calls. 233 00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:19.919 Oh I got you. 234 00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:20.360 Yeah. 235 00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:24.399 Oh. Every now and then we get we get granddaughter alerts. 236 00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:28.519 I wasn't granddaughter. That was telling somebody from the foreign country. 237 00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:32.440 One telemarketer wanted to sell me something like medicare. 238 00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:36.480 But uncle, uncle spam, uncle spam. 239 00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:41.919 Fruit trees right now. The fruit is in production right now. 240 00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:46.159 The pollen enation should be over with by then. So 241 00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:48.799 I like to use Spinner's adic uses on my plum trees. 242 00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:50.480 Last year I used it. I'm gonna use it again. 243 00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:50.879 This year. 244 00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:52.720 We had perfect. 245 00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:57.600 Plums, perfect pun about the big bottle, and I used 246 00:13:57.600 --> 00:14:01.080 it about once every week or so. Spinnish add is 247 00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:05.799 a it's a natural, organic kind of thing, and that's 248 00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:10.440 actually very effective. Okay, because my plumbs for flawless no worms. Wow, 249 00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:13.720 so nice. So you might consider it starting a program 250 00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:15.960 of that. I use a hose in spray or one 251 00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:18.440 of those proportional sprayers put on your hoss, just spray 252 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:21.159 it like that, and it did a good job of 253 00:14:21.399 --> 00:14:23.799 keeping the bugs under control of my fruit trees. Now 254 00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:25.720 that they're getting a little old though. The plum tree 255 00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:28.320 to the west, yes, it's turned and dying off a 256 00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:29.320 little bit. It doesn't look that. 257 00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:30.240 Help starting to get plum. 258 00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:32.879 It was probably the last year for it. Or pick 259 00:14:32.919 --> 00:14:35.519 all the food off it. You know, there was a 260 00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:40.000 big firewood action and thing. Make cut it out, get 261 00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:45.440 a new it next fall. They're twenty years in the ground. 262 00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:49.519 Twenty years, I mean, yes, yeah. So anyways, the spinish 263 00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:52.120 add is a very good topical application. You want to 264 00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:56.200 avoid systemics at this time too. Knee oil is another 265 00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:59.360 good one for insects and for fungus. However, you want 266 00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:01.320 to make sure that you don't do it in the 267 00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:03.519 heat of the day because it will cause some leaf damage. 268 00:15:04.440 --> 00:15:06.360 So don't want those leaves to cook. 269 00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:10.159 Well, it seals them up, the oil does, and they 270 00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:14.600 can't breathe. They can't breathe, and they and they dry 271 00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:18.080 up kind of slowed away. So anyway, leaves, you know, 272 00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:21.159 you don't how a leaf works. Sure takes water up 273 00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:23.480 and they have a stomata on the bottom of the 274 00:15:23.559 --> 00:15:26.519 leaves and they open up. The hotter it gets, they 275 00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:28.399 open up and it draws more water up in the 276 00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:32.120 written and it evaporates and keeps it cool. So the 277 00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:34.879 leaves are big radiators too. They keep the plant cool, 278 00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:38.159 and they also take the sunshine and convert water and 279 00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:42.399 carbon dioxide and carbohydrates, which makes really delicious plums and 280 00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:43.960 cherries and peaches and so on. 281 00:15:44.279 --> 00:15:45.200 It does. 282 00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:50.440 So at these little sugar factories all over your yard. 283 00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:53.080 They bubble up and next thing you know, you gotta 284 00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:54.000 fruit exactly. 285 00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:01.080 So anyway, it's also timed in the basier garden warm 286 00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:05.120 seas and seeds, beans and stuff like that. Uh, not 287 00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:09.559 quite time yet for okrah. That comes a little bit later. 288 00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:13.039 But maybe a little magnesium sulfate on your tomatoes. They 289 00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:18.120 like a slightly low pH and they respond very well 290 00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:22.519 to epsom salt, not too much. It is a trace element. 291 00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:24.600 So we got colored. We do put them on. 292 00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:28.399 Good Morning, Welcome to the Green Country Gardener Program. Your 293 00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:31.039 question or comment for Larry Glass. 294 00:16:31.639 --> 00:16:35.759 Yeah, I've got zucchini and yellow squash, and last year 295 00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:39.080 I got a worm and the stem that just devastated everything. 296 00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:40.960 So what's a good spray for that? 297 00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:44.720 Well, I'd like to use the spinners add on that too, 298 00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:47.039 and you had to eat on the on the sprays. 299 00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:50.399 You have to be consistent with it. Once one shot 300 00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:54.360 will not do you. Remember that one shot you're good 301 00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:56.759 for the whole day. Well, that doesn't work. You have 302 00:16:56.879 --> 00:16:59.039 to have to go on a regular basis to do that. 303 00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:02.320 And that's one reason why I like the organics is, Uh, 304 00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:06.000 they're harmless to to humans, but it messes up the 305 00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:09.559 insect pretty much. So you have to be consistent with it. 306 00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:13.400 And those those worms typically enter at the at the 307 00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:15.119 main stem at some point. 308 00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:16.799 So yeah, so. 309 00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:20.400 You could, yeah, just make even the cedar malts might 310 00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:22.559 keep them away a little bit too. Just the smell 311 00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:26.400 of the ceedar might repel them too, But anyway, keep 312 00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:28.599 an eye on them. And uh, there's another one that 313 00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:33.599 BT basiloster genesis works very well on those creepy crawlers too, 314 00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:36.440 and it has some good residual activity because it is 315 00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:39.200 a basically a disease that the worms get. 316 00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:42.240 Okay, and you have that stuff out your place, you 317 00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:47.480 bet all right? I know, the like you rightly been 318 00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:51.279 having if you know it is a resistant rain or 319 00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:54.799 every time it raine, but you need to reapply. 320 00:17:54.519 --> 00:17:56.680 Or yeah, that'd be a good idea. Yeah, of course, 321 00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:58.880 now it's not going to rain to logust so September. 322 00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:06.920 Oh yeah, no, that's usually what happens. So I had. 323 00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:09.599 Some beautiful plants and all of a sudden they were 324 00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:10.440 laying on straight. 325 00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:15.359 So anyway you need to and the uh, I would 326 00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:17.039 go with the thirst side. Really if you have a 327 00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:20.559 if if it's a caterpillar problem, uh, and you can 328 00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:23.200 concentrate it on the on the report of entry, which 329 00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:26.960 is typically kind of close to the stem. Okay, at 330 00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:29.720 the root, and you might go along the just the trunk. 331 00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:32.680 If you get it on the leaves, well it'll it'll 332 00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:35.799 stop the the caterpillars that'll live, these tiny little green 333 00:18:35.799 --> 00:18:37.119 worms that might be on the leaves. 334 00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:40.599 But if you get it at the base, do it at. 335 00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:43.720 The base and pretty much up the stem too, if possible. 336 00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:47.039 All right, and well they are they already askeeper what 337 00:18:47.240 --> 00:18:51.039 I need to I've got a day or two they'd 338 00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:52.519 be able to get it straight or. 339 00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:54.519 Yeah, i'd be all right, Yeah I should should be 340 00:18:54.640 --> 00:18:57.079 now once they get in once they get inside the plant, 341 00:18:58.119 --> 00:19:01.359 it's very difficult to control them. So you want to 342 00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:07.440 be kind of proactive and start a programming. It'll just 343 00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:10.799 take a bottle of a thoricide and that shouldn't do 344 00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:11.519 you for the summer. 345 00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:15.960 Really, thank you for recall. Appreciated as always. Eight twenty 346 00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:17.400 seven is our time. You can be a part of 347 00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:21.119 the program too at one eight hundred seven six. 348 00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:25.119 Oh, you're talking about vashtable gardens a little bit too. Yeah, 349 00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:28.000 and keep in mind how how well your your plants 350 00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:33.000 did last last summer. Tomatoes respond very well with these salts, 351 00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:37.480 and so you just do a little bit better. Now, 352 00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:40.559 don't overdo it because it is a trace element, so 353 00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:44.480 just just kind of sprinkles it goes the wrong way, 354 00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:48.359 don't take the whole bottle and go prove you know 355 00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:54.319 that won't work. More is not better. Actually, the center 356 00:19:54.720 --> 00:20:01.279 one of the elements of chlorophyll is a magnesium, so 357 00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:06.359 that's what makes it green, I guess, but there you go. So, 358 00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:09.920 so some of that would help a little bit too. 359 00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:10.359 So. 360 00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:17.799 And uh benefits uh uh hello, potatoes a little benefit 361 00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:18.359 from that too. 362 00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:21.319 We went from to tater taters, Yeah. 363 00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:23.480 So that they can benefit a little bit from that also, 364 00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:26.400 And what that does is I helped the plant to 365 00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:30.880 manufacture chlorophyll. So if it's a trade settlement, so it 366 00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:36.599 doesn't it doesn't take the lost you know. Yeah, just 367 00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:39.400 just shrinkle a little bit on the ground too, fine, 368 00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:42.319 uh gras on your lawns. This week, the Bermuda grass 369 00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:44.359 and zoystereo grass are really starting to grow real good. 370 00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:48.119 Right now it's taken off and what little bermuda grass 371 00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:52.960 I have left. I did spray some crab grass and 372 00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:56.839 it stopped and it didn't seem to control it, so 373 00:20:57.359 --> 00:21:02.799 we'll see. I'm just never home. My neighbor across the street, 374 00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:05.039 he does nothing about a horticle to do beautiful one 375 00:21:05.119 --> 00:21:17.680 in town. I'm just never home. So kind of so 376 00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:19.720 the permitter of soyster grass are going real well. My 377 00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:21.759 crab grass is coming up to you. And notice that 378 00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:25.799 Queen Florac is a good, good du solution for crabgrass. 379 00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:29.799 It's a good post emergent over side for that. Now crabgrass, 380 00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:34.519 you need to apply a pre emergent in February March 381 00:21:35.079 --> 00:21:38.960 that to really work, but maybe April depending on the weather. 382 00:21:39.440 --> 00:21:44.319 But anyway, Q or Queen Quinn chlorac is a good 383 00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:47.240 post emergent control for crabgrass. You want to get it 384 00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:50.200 while it's young, too, because it is tough to control. 385 00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:53.480 Once it goes to save you almost had to forget it. 386 00:21:53.559 --> 00:21:55.039 You just have to get on your hands and knees 387 00:21:55.079 --> 00:21:57.920 and pull it up. Use a claw hammer works real. 388 00:21:58.680 --> 00:22:03.880 Yeah, I was gonna say to weep. 389 00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:07.000 It out, yeah, or I have my boots on when 390 00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:12.079 I'm moan in the grass, I just kick them out anyway. 391 00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:15.920 So that's kind of it with grass now. Fesci Grass says, 392 00:22:16.119 --> 00:22:18.240 right now you need to start raising them over a 393 00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:20.279 little bit on that because it's gonna be hot pretty soon, 394 00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:24.160 so it maybe won't happen this year. You know, in 395 00:22:24.200 --> 00:22:27.640 the past, we've had summers where not never hit one hundred. 396 00:22:28.759 --> 00:22:29.920 Find that hard to believe. 397 00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:33.480 Yes, I've lived here for six years and I can't 398 00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:34.279 I can't remember. 399 00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:36.000 I think it was the early nineties when that happened. 400 00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:40.240 Oh okay, so that's a great summer. You can work 401 00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:43.759
