Buggy Joe gets stumped... or does he?

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, everybody. Welcome.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
I'm Ron Wilson, and you are in the garden here
on news radio six' TEN wtvn eight two to one
W tv and is our number jump on? Board talking
about yarding on this last day In? May can you
believe that already over? With and now we're looking To.
June we'll talk about that because what's gonna happen with the.
Weather you, know we've had this cool. Weather it's been so, nice,

(00:22):
uh you, know all the rainfall we've, had the good even.
Moisture what happens when all of a sudden it starts
to turn hot and? Dry what are we gonna?

Speaker 3 (00:28):
Do?

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Then, well we'll talk about that a little bit later.
On who, knows when we Get Buggy joe on, here
he may talk about it as. Well speaking of, which
it is time for The Buggy Joe. Boggs Mister Joe
boggs awash you extension website bygl Dot osu Dot. Eedu
i'm limiting your introduction so we have more time to.
Talk good, morning, Sir good.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
Morning, YEAH i was waiting for the mof for coffee.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
THERE i tell you that co creator matha.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
COFFEE i kind of need. It TODAY i shared That
i'm still suffering through kind of a sinus. Challenge but the,
medications you, know kicking. IN i don't know where that's
going to.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Go but just because just because the medication kicks in
doesn't mean that you're getting cleaned up from your sinus.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
Infection that is.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
True that is. True but LIKE i said, before it's
nothing to sneezeh, gosh all, right oh let me tell.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
You there you.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Go so stuff is happening right and? Left, yes are
coming in.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Stompers, yeah for? Sure does this has this cooler? Weather uh?

Speaker 2 (01:41):
More you, know consistent rainfall each? Week changed? Anything as
far as the patterns that you you, know you normally would.
SEE i, Mean i'll look back at some of the
dates on The. Beagle so you, know a post that
you may have put out a couple of years, ago
AND i look at the dates are usually pretty. Close
one THING i, DID i, MEAN i THINK i noticed
visiting area pockets that had the cicadas In Hamilton, County

(02:05):
warren or in, Yeah Warren. County you know you know
that those cicadas were. DELAYED i think it seemed like they. Were,
yeah when it's a really cool, day you see nothing
or hear. Nothing sun comes, out and of course later
in the day they get crazy and start Screaming sun's
not out and it's a you, know overcast d. Ay
you don't hear them quite as. Much does that affect

(02:26):
the insects in the disease?

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Issues you, know that's a very good, Question so thank
you so.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Much oh, YES i tell you we're we're on a.
Roll now let me, no you know that it does
affect the insects because they're you, know cold. BLOODED i
hate you. Know ectothermic is what we, say what we call,
that and it means that their metabolism and everything they
do is tied to the outside. Temperature so just common,
sense you, know as the temperatures, cool things slow. Down

(02:55):
So i'm pretty pretty certain that this is going to
extend the cicada. EMERGENTS i don't think it's going to
have a necessarily a negative. Effect it just means that
we'll probably be hanging. Around so folks in The columbus
area that can't you, know they can't enjoy the emergence.
Firsthand you plenty of time to drive south and and

(03:19):
just you, know rebel in the thrill of. Cicadas Correct
my mom.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Is in Northern Hamilton, county right on the border Of
Hamilton County Warren, county and she's got a fair amount
in her. Yard not you, know not they're not flying,
everywhere but she's got a fair amount in. THERE i
was there the other day looking because he has sh
had a couple of trees taken down for various. Reasons but,

(03:47):
ANYWAY i was amazed at how many emergent HOLES i
saw around the foundation of her.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
Home, yeah it's a, well they do tap into tree,
roots and that's a you, know the resource has shown
clearly that there really isn't much of an. Impact as
a matter of, fact just a little side note THAT
i find fascinating with these insects is that they're not
feeding on highly, nutritial nutritious. Sap they they suck the

(04:17):
sap out of the, asylum you, know which is you,
know listeners can recall that that's the part of the
tree where we see water and nutrients going up the,
tree not the flow them like we would see with,
aphids and so it's it's not a highly nutrient rich
stew that that they're tapping. Into and that's part of

(04:40):
the reason for their extended, development you, know it just takes.
Longer they also have what we call symbiotic, relationship you,
know where we have two critters that are you, know
serving as mutual benefits for each. Other that with various
bacteria that didn't help to to convert some of what

(05:01):
they're tapping into into usable food. Resources but all that taken,
together the research has clearly shown that the, impact the
overall impact on the tree is in fact. Negligible and
if you the way the impact of the numbers that
come out and then, die you, KNOW i talked about this,

(05:25):
before and that is that you get these huge numbers
that you, know they do their thing and then they.
Die and that's like fertilizer being you, know put back
into the soil and it's called a nutrient flux that
that rises and we then see actually extended periods of

(05:45):
good growth after an. Emergence so it's one of those
things wrong where people will be very concerned with small
trees there will be damage from egg laying over positioned,
damp but it's the tips of the branches and on
big trees we just don't worry about that at. All

(06:07):
it's like having you, Know nature's. Pruning but where on
big trees you do get that tip die. Back the
buds at the base tend to break where we, get you,
know where we had one, stem now we have two or.
Three so we also see an enhanced canopy. Thickening Now
i'm painting with a very broad. Brush i'm sure listeners
will probably, say, well wait a, Second, joe is that

(06:28):
on all tree. Species, no it's. Not most of the
work has been done on. Hardwoods oaks in, particular been
looked at very hard maple's probably. Following but the point
being is that the trees co evolved with the cicadas
and vice, versa and to some aspects they kind of

(06:49):
benefit each. Other obviously the trees benefits to. Cicadas but
the emergency hall's next to you to your mom's home
is really interesting because that really tells us something that
you AND i talk about quite a, lot and that
is the long distance that these tree roots. Go.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
Right oh, YEAH i, mean, well these these are oak
trees and they're all they're all fifty fifty sixty feet
away from the. House, now now the branches actually reached
to her. Home she has bottom branches on these oaks
that are you, know eighty ninety feet. Long it's, crazy
these things are. Huge but that just show you where

(07:26):
those roots have come, up you, know closer to the house.
FOUNDATION i, mean there was a ton of them in
a couple of beds that you, KNOW i just just
really surprised me where there's no landscaping there, whatsoever just
a mulch.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
Bed it is a, surprise you.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
KNOW i.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
WAS i was in a cemetery earlier this. Week it
almost sounds like it almost sounds like the start of a.
Joke THEN i didn't realize how that. Sounded but that's
a good place to see the. Cicada it's the old
cemeteries because you have a lot of old, trees, right
and you've had trees that were there seventeen years. Ago

(08:02):
and that's also important because it meant you know that
the cicadas could have laid eggs on those trees and
then the immatures developed beneath. Them and WHAT i found
fascinating run was how far out you can see them
coming up through the. Grass, Well Nina, bassik you AND
i talked about, this Doctor Nina bask At Cornell university years.

(08:24):
AGO i, MEAN i think actually BEFORE i started with
extension published the paper and where she and her grad
student at the, Time Susan, day became. Doctor Susan day
found that over sixty percent of the tree's root system
is outside the drip. Line so you take those big

(08:46):
trees in your mom's landscape and you, say, well the
drip line goes all the way to the, house imagine
just how far even beyond. That it's it, REALLY i,
mean you AND i made this joke before that if you,
want if you want to fertilize your, trees you give
your neighbors the. Fertilizer you, Know, yeah of course we
need to be careful about, that but the point of

(09:08):
it is is that we don't want to over fertilize
trees and all. That but it's it's kind of a standard,
joke you, know to highlight the distance that these roots
go from. Trees so the cicadas really do teach us
quite a. Lot and like you said that that footprint
of the root system of these big trees they said
in the, CEMETERY i was. AMAZED i MEAN i WAS

(09:31):
i couldn't even figure out which tree they were coming.
From look over and be, like, wow that tree is
way over, there that tree is, Well i'm standing out
in the, sunlight you, know and yet here they are
coming up through again, indicating, well those roots are all
over the. Place, yep no.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
Doubt talking with The Buggy Joe bogsosue, Extension we'll take a,
break come. Back we've got more about cicadas and whatever
else y'all wants to talk. ABOUT i got a couple
questions for him as. Well it's all happening here on
news radio six to TEN. WTVN i love the song welcome,
back talking to you areading here on news radio six'
ten wtv And With Buggy, Joe boggs oh shoe Extension,

(10:11):
singing joe.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
What's the matter with that's, the way that's the way.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
He sings whether he's on the uh sinus steroids, or not.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
Doesn't, matter yeah that's that's. Exactly right That's just i'm
sure some, listening thought oh, my goodness he just kind
of ripped, it off. HADN'T he i could that could?

Speaker 1 (10:34):
Happen, here no don't.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Do that by, the way just a quick note here
and we can move on whatever you want to. Talk about,
but uh the neighbors docs and uh there is aus
couldn't wait to. Get outside she's been eating the cicada's.
Like crazy oh.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
My, goodness yeah she. Loves them that's an. Interesting thing
and you know we caution against that, because yeah get caught,
you know in.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
Their, throats well they can't stop when they let, her out,
you know can't going everywhere to.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
FIND them i know that that happens. Every Year and
i've gotten Feedback from i've even gotten some Feedback when
i've Asked that marian's, you know, it's, like well is
this something? You know the choking hazard is always the,
you know because it's the case that come with a
old package, that says, you know do not this presents a. Choking, Hazard,
right yeah that on that bottom up you can read that. On,

(11:26):
THERE yeah i tell. You these you, Know again i'm
not feeling well that that reflects in, the. Jokes right
but but, you know something that is is happening this
spring that is really interesting is, how often, you know
we get problems brought to us that that we know

(11:46):
very well. What's happening but yet even though you know
we know, what's happening we've experienced it many, times before
they turn out to. Be STUMPERS and i think that's
pretty important for people to. Hear this that YOU and
i have been doing this for a lot. Of years
we've gained a lot. Of experience but every, so often,
you know something will show up on our. Computer screen

(12:08):
we look at it, and think what in, the world
AND this i just have to say this and this
is just, you know just. Share This. SO mint, i
mean when you think of mint and you think of
all the, different mints and you know all the different
members of, that family YOU and i both know that
if you see dark sunken areas on, the leaves there

(12:31):
really is only one thing that it kind of, directs,
to right.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
Four line out.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
Plant, bugs yeah four. Line PLAN yet i got. This,
picture actually they send a series of pictures and they
are very very. Well done that's something that that, YOU
know i take seriously that if you're going to send
a picture for, a diagnosis take a good hard look
at it to make sure you know that, it's clear
that's in focus and, so on because it's just very hard,

(12:59):
to diagnose, you know a. Fuzzy image but these were,
very sharp looked like my pictures of. The SITUATION and
i was looking, and thinking, oh, gosh mints, you know
what KIND of i even did A little google search
and diseases, of MINT and, i, thought oh, my goodness

(13:19):
is that it's all of a sudden that neuron that
was covered OVER because i think it was taken the
space was taken Up By ohio state winning. The, championship
right probably that neuron fired and it, was, like oh.
Four line. Plant bug that's a native insect and it.
Loves mint it loves members of the. Mint family it

(13:44):
also loves members of the. Astor family and what it
does both the immatures we call the nymphs and the
adults have piercing sucking mouth parts and they. Inject enzymes
and there's a really interesting scientific paper where they measured
the impact of. The enzymes they're they're. Very serious they
they they rapidly, cause cells plant cells to just explode

(14:10):
and that creates. A slurry and that's actually what the
plant bug nymphs and adults suck up through their piercing sucking,
mouth parts using them like a. Soda straw what's, left,
behind THOUGH like, i said are? These dark, you know
use a lot of times they're black and. They're sunken
they really do look like a bacterial or fungal disease has,

(14:33):
you know.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
Has.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
Happened uh the good news is there's only one generation,
per season, and uh, so far, You Know i'm i'm mostly,
seeing adults which means that we're just about at the end.
Of things you can't really now do anything. About it
but that's also good news because, you know if you
have a patch of mint or, other herbs they will

(14:54):
recover without anything. Being done but the adults do lay
eggs in the stems of their host plants as well.
As weeds so if you're experiencing, this first you could
go look At what i'm talking about with accessing the
buckeye yard and garden LINE bygl i just posted an

(15:15):
alert about it and you can See what i'm. Talking
about but we see a pretty strong connection between heavy
populations and also having a bit of a weed problem
OR on, i mean quite honestly teasels. For example they
love to, attack teasel which isn't something that we typically

(15:36):
grow in, our landscaping but it does serve as a
reservoir for these past, next season.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
So or we do if we don't know what.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
It, is yeah, that's true. That's true so that was.
A stumper i wanted to share that because even though
YOU and i have how many years, TO combine i
mean one hundred and twenty or something, like that i'd some.
Ungodly number think.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
It's one hundred and. TWENTY three i.

Speaker 3 (16:02):
THINK so i think you just. Nailed it still get
we get, stumped, occasionally right, yeh.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
Yeah, you know talking about, THAT teasel i used to
use those dried uh seedheads on the top that look
like little, cone trees. Little, cones yeah in MY l,
A class i use those.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
For evergreens, Oh really now.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
That's, INTERESTING yeah i could see, that well and they
do hold up, very well like in. Dried, flower, yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah it's, it's uh it's. It's interesting we have
several teasels out there and they've, really become, you know
quietly kind of in, my opinion a pretty serious no.

(16:45):
Native invasive they, don't represent, you know any threats unlike,
you know poison hemlock that's blooming now we can really
see it, very well or a wild parsnip, you know
that's seems to have subsided a, little bit, YOU know.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
I TALKING about i definitely don't see that.

Speaker 3 (17:01):
As much you don't see it quite as much But
teazel is is not in that same group in terms
of of representing other than, you know they're they're, really sticky,
you know sticky meaning that you don't want to grab,
the stems and, you know prickly maybe is a. Better
word but but they can out compete obviously our. Native plants,

(17:24):
and man if you have an, open area they can
take hold, very rapidly. Can't, they yeah no doubt.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
About, it joe we got. To go, great information always.
A pleasure hope you feel better and we will talk. To,
you yeah we'll talk to You, next, Saturday.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
Sir you, Take care, bye bye, all Right Buggy.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
Joe boggs oh issue. Extension again go to the website
b Y g L DOT o SU dot E. T
u you can print OUT that uh or read through
the four line PLANT bug uh posting that you just
put up. This week HE also i went back and
found the one with HEMLOCK and uh wild parsteps and
there was one from the last Week of may in twenty.

(18:02):
Twenty four it's about a, thirty pager but it really
shows you both of them. In detail you learn more,
about them so you know more. About them so if
you're concerned, about that, And man i'll tell you what the.
Poison hemlock i've just seen. IT everywhere i remember when
we first started talking about this twelve fifteen, years ago
little pockets of it here. And there today it. Is

(18:23):
everywhere but learn more about it because everything about that
plant is. Extremely toxic you want to know what, it
is and you want to know what the wild parsips
because it caused a serious rash on your arm. As
well go TO bygl dotsu dot eu and go just
put in their poison hemlock and wild parkstep that one
will come up and it's a it's a great tips
sheet for you to print out and share with your

(18:44):
neighbors or whatever it. May be, all right, quick break we.
Come back phone lines are open. For you eight tow
TO one wtvn eight hundred and SIXTY. Ten wtvn here
On news radio SIX. Ten wtvn, welcome back talking to
your arding here on news radio SIX. Ten wtvn eight
two TO, one wtvn eight hundred and sixty ten W
tv and, you know we end our show every week
talking about things we hope that you do when you're

(19:05):
out working in the yard, and garden one of which
is get the kids and dogs involved, with gardening, you
know trying to get those. Kids involved how important, that
is just to get them involved doing things in. The yard,
you know it's a legit way to get their, hands
dirty digging in the dirt and planting things, and all
and trying to help bring more awareness. To that the

(19:29):
last Week in may THROUGH the i Think the june
First or june second is Always The National Children's, gardening
week trying to bring attention to children's gardening and again
getting your. Kids involved it's great to see what a
lot of schools are doing now doing some, pollinator gardens
raised beds so the kids can do a little bit,
of gardening, et cetera. Et cetera but of course school

(19:50):
letting out now and Being The National Children's, gardening week
bringing awareness to the parents and the grandparents and maybe
the next. Door neighbor you don't have kids and you
want to help the neighbors out to get the kids
more involved. With, gardening uh, you know this is the
time to. Do IT and i think one of the
probably the, you know you got to make. It easy
if you're trying to, do things make it easy for

(20:12):
them and make it pretty, you know, quick RESULTS and
i think they can have a lot. OF fun i
think one of the Things that i've always thought really got,
their attention and we've done this a lot in, the
past is that get out your locally owned independent garden
center and buy a larger in diameter. Plastic pot get
something cheap you can even you even go get a

(20:34):
one of those kiddie pools if. YOU want i don't
like the colors are kind, of weird but that's. All
Right not the, point is get up some kind of
a container like that that's a little bit larger. Than
usual and if you do the, kiddie pool pop some
holes in the bottom of us so it drains. Really
well get yourself some really good. Potting soil let them fill,
that up either one of those containers up with the

(20:57):
potting soil, S addle. Osma co, you know like we
like YOU and i would be doing for, container gardening
a little bit of soil moist and then, you know let,
You know i've, always said give them, a pot let
them grow their own and now that that's legal in
the State, of ohio to give them a container and
let them grow their own flowers or vegetables or whatever it,
may be and, you know it really. Does work and,

(21:20):
you know flower gardens, are great and you know they
if they want to experiment with bringing in, the pollinators
you can pick perennials and annuals in, that container a
good assortment that will help to bring those. Pollinators in
if they want to try to, grow edibles, you know
do a couple. Of herbs do do herbs that you
know that they'll they'll, they'll enjoy like basils something like

(21:41):
that that they'll pick off and enjoy the flavor. Of
it growing, some herbs growing a, dwarf tomato, you know
things like that that they can harvest. From that growing
potatoes in a in a bush or basket or something
is one of the. Easiest things now it takes, all
summer but that's really cool because, you know you at
the foliage and you got a water on a regular

(22:02):
basis end of, the year, you know. Turns yellow you
dump that. Thing out you got potatoes galore in. That
basket so there are plenty of ways to get kids involved,
with Gardening but i've always been a big one with this.
CONTAINER gardening, a, larger wider pot doesn't have to, be deep,
you know twelve inches fourteen inches deep, but wide so
they can plant an assortment of plants, in there whether

(22:23):
it be, flowering plants whether it be vegetables and edibles
that they can put, in, there, greens lettuce spinach that they.
Would grow and what's interesting is if they grow their
own vegetables in, a container guess what they typically eat them.
As well our, First grandson kellen is my youngest daughter
had they used to have a really nice. Container garden

(22:46):
she got into it. As well she even had the
drip system and the containers. And all And when kellen
was just learning how to walk and able to walk
and kind of talk a, little bit we got him
ever bearing STRAWBERRIES and i think this is a, great
one ever, bearing strawberries and did a couple containers of
ever bearing strawberries for him to pick the strawberries throughout.

(23:07):
The summer and he absolutely. Loved that now he couldn't
wait for me to show up at, their house, you
know to show me his strawberries and he'd pick him
green or whatever and pop it in. His mouth we
had to explain, to him now you wait till they.
Turn red but, you know it was a great way
to get him involved in. The garden now he's thirteen
and doesn't want to have anything to do. With, it
no he actually mows grass now for, the neighbors which

(23:30):
impressed the heck out.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
Of me so he's in the.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
Lawnmowing business but, you know but it was a great
way to get. Him involved so again a container get
the kids involved. This summer this is an Actual Guarding Kids.
Gardening week do something to get. Them involved and by,
the way if you're looking for, more ideas go to kidsgardening.
Dot org you know you hear me talk about them all.
The time we've Had the emily on, our show who

(23:54):
is the executive Director kids gardening. Dot org great information
there that you, can download, print out give you some
great ideas of how to, you know what. To do
they have things for teachers and. All, there well you
can use it for. Your kids go look At What
katie stagliano's doing katiescrops dot com and that's kk katiscrops.
Dot com great ideas for getting kids involved with gardening.

(24:16):
As well, but please it's up to you and me
to get these kids involved, in gardening whether it's the
neighbors kids or. Your grandkids or your. Own kids but,
you know get, them involved get them. Out there it's
a legit way to get their hands in the soil
and have a little bit. Of fun make it fun
for them. As well let them plant what they want.
To plant but now's a great time to get, that
started and then they can grow those all, summer long,

(24:39):
all right eight two to ONE wtv at eight hundred
and SIX ten. Wtv in those are our numbers here on,
news radio six TO. TEN wtvn I think i'm gonna

yeah let. Them go just let them do their thing
that you put them in a. Hanging basket by the
end of, the season they're hanging over the, hanging basket,
you know like a regular vining plant. Would be, so
yeah let them run that they'll.

Speaker 5 (26:22):
Be fine so when they start to foreign roots at
the bottom of those. New plants that's when you. Trainsplant.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
Them yep then you need just to snip those off
and transplant and put them put them in another.

Speaker 5 (26:32):
Pot now well the original plants and. Boom, again yep.

fact something. Like that if you've got something water soluble
like miracle grow, Or Whatever jacks peter or something. Like
that about, every uh they're not, high feeders about every
three or four weeks if you want to give them
a shot when you water would, be outstands. You know other,
than that she should be a. Good shape and by, The,

(27:02):
WAY dan i thought of you because you would ask
about that. Bioluminescent, PETUNIA yes i got my three in
the mail about three, weeks ago two of which conked
out as SOON as i took him out of. THE
package i don't know what, happened there one of which
is doing. Quite well so NOW when I see i see,

(27:24):
This thing i'm thinking. Of you so as soon as
it starts to get filling on. The pot i'll send
you a picture of it and we'll see what it does.
At nighttime but right now it's about four inches high
and about four, inches wide so we'll see what happens.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
Oka day, All, right dany good talking. With you you
have a blessed day.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
As well, and yeah that's the petunias that glow. At
nighttime through genetics and all taking the genes from a,
GLOWING mushroom, i guess and working it in with. The,
Petunia uh they've developed a series of petunias that glow.
At nighttime the veins in the plant and the flowers
seemed to it's. A glow it doesn't light up the

(28:00):
room or anything, like that but you can. See it
and they sent. Some out he was asking where to,
buy THEM and i know they had a limited amount
available online and they were like forty bucks for a four.
Inch pot and they went to a lot of, garden
writers show hosts. Or whatever, but anyway the gardeners in
the industry to see if they wanted to test try

(28:21):
all THESE and i was more than willing to. Do
that and they, sent three unfortunately, to them just man
pot of the other they just poom right off the bat,
fell APART so i think they were in the box
a little bit. Too long but one of them's doing.
Pretty well the really started to, kick In so i'll
keep you posted. On that but they're going to be
growing more of those down. The road it looks like
they're getting the hang of how to. Propagate them that

(28:42):

years ago but propagating and getting more available to ACTUALLY sell.

You know JOE and i were talking earlier about the
wild parsnips and poison hemlock when we first started realizing

(30:22):
that the poison hemlock was becoming invasive in the State.
Of ohio was probably about fifteen, years ago eighteen. Years
ago we started to see it in these little pockets
and they were increasing more. And MORE and i remember
that particular spring noticing it and doing the Thing with
joe and DOING some tv segmas tips, and all but

(30:44):
that this is it and keep your eyes, open forward,
et cetera. Et Cetera and i'll never forget that particular
year driving out to Do the dill's remote as usually
the first Week, of june they're just coming, into FLOWER
and i was amazed and how many LITTLE pockets i
saw of the wild. POISON hemlock i mean along the

(31:07):
way on thirty. Three there and that's, nothing bad it's
just it grows where it's. Non maintained i'm not saying
that they're. Not maintaining i'm just saying there were pockets
here and there alone the fence and ditchways where they
weren't able, to mow where it had started. To GROW
and i WAS really I remember, cnn going oh, my gosh,
you know it's MORE than i even thought it was.
Out here starting to. See it every Year that i've

(31:27):
done that that we've Done the. Dills remote EVERY year
i go, out there the patches of where the poison
HEMLOCK where i first noticed it have just gotten bigger
and bigger. And bigger now you can't miss it when
you drive. Out there you see just large patches along
the fence line where they, can't mow where it's. Not
maintained and you'll also occasionally see right around the edge

(31:50):
of it a little bit of the, wild parsnip which
has more of a yellow type flower, to it and
it stands out you can tell. It shorter but we
aren't seeing as much as the out par steps and
we're not sure what's the. Deal there but it's not
showing up but at all like and spreading like we
