of the Bruce Company, twenty eight thirty Partment Street. That's
twenty eight thirty Partment Street. And joining us this morning
is Lisa Briggs from the Bruce Company. Lisa, how you
doing this week?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I'm good.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
How are you? I'm doing good. It's great to see
you and good to see you too. We've got exciting
stuff to talk about, fun stuff coming up as always
at the Bruce Company. But first and foremost, forecast time.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
I know, okay, I'm going to say, salmy alarm.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
If you haven't put your plants inside?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Do it?
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Do it?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Yeah, I mean they're forecasting low forties and one night
is thirty eight.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Okay, so time to get that stuff inside.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
What should we do?
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Okay, So sometime today go to the garden center and
pick up some insecticide for house plants, a topical one
and then a systemic okay, and then treat the plants,
soak them down with the spray. You can let it
drip outside because tonight is low forty seven so should
(01:23):
be fine, and then bring them inside after the and
then you can bring them inside tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
The spray that yeah ready to use, yeah, okay, And
the other stuff you put in the soil.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
The other stuff you put in the soil, I'll look
at that.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I'm learning.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
So the the topical one that you spray on the
plant will kill any insects that.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Are on the plant, okay.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
And the systemic will kill any insects or eggs that
have been laid in the soil or on the plant
as well.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
What happens, Lisa, if I don't do these things.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Well, so you might be lucky. You're you know, we've
had some chilli nights. We've also had some really warm days,
so you might be lucky. Your plants might not have
anything on them to bring into the house. But if
they do, even if the problem outside is small and
not noticeable, once it gets into your house where there's
(02:17):
no wind and there's no rainfall to knock things back,
and there are no natural predators.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
A little problem.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Can become a big problem very quickly, and it can
spread to the plants that you didn't have outside.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
And that's hard.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
It's hard to it's much harder to treat when they're
indoors then when they're outside, and you can just you know,
soak them down.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
And those little critters fully appreciate your climate controlled indoors
and they well.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
They do, and there's just there's just nothing to stop them. Yeah,
you know, like aphids, for instance, are just makes me
itch just thinking about them. But a heavy rainfall or
a good squirt with a hoes will knock aphis off
pretty quickly. Okay, that's not happening in your house, no, right,
So things not even not even predators issue or climate,
(03:08):
it's just that there are forces at work outside that
can help keep a problem bearable.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
I guess, let's.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Say I want to start bringing in at night, but
letting them get some fresh air.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
And you could certainly do that while the days are
in the fifties. I think that's fine if it's sunny,
if it gets windy. Now that it's fall and the
winds are coming from the north, you might want to
put them in a little more sheltered spot. Remember that
the sunniest part in place in your house is not
as sunny as it was outside, so there's going to
(03:43):
be some acclamation issues, certainly on things like ficus or
hibiscus that are really highlight plants that.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Resent being moved.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
You're going to see some neat, some leaves yellowing and
falling off. That's typical when you bring plants indoors and
they're having to reacclimate. So put them all in the
sunniest spot in your house, and then you can gradually
move them back into their regular places as they get
used to the change in light. And remember too that indoors,
(04:14):
as your plants start to go dormant, they're going to
use less water, so you're gonna have to get used
to a new watering schedule. So do a good soak
and then check after a week or you know, depending
on the size of your plants, and then get to
know your plants winter water regimen. Remember too that if
(04:36):
you've got succulence, yes, they're not going to need a
lot of water at all indoors. Oh, and they like
a cooler spot, so put them in a sunny window.
But it doesn't matter if it's a cold sunny window.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Grated information as always, and you two can be like me.
If you've got a question for Lisa.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
That was a long answer for like a like a
five word question, wasn't it.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
That's a great answer. A lot of questions about that,
you too, If you've got a question to get you
on the air six eight three two one thirteen ten.
That's six eight three two one thirteen ten, we'll get
you right on the air at LEASA breaks from the
Bruce Company. No forget about their website, Brucecompany dot com.
That's Bruce coompany dot com, Facebook and social media the
Bruce Company. Great day to get on in right at
twenty eight thirty Parment Street. That's where you will find
(05:17):
the Middleton Garden Center of the Bruce Company. And again
phone lines are open for you right now at six
eight three two one thirteen ten. That's three two one
thirteen ten. Do they make any kind of like acclamation
or anything like I know, like I think of like
when putting in a new tree, a little root stimulator
kind of help them get going. Is there anything that
that could be brought into to help your plants with
(05:39):
that with.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Them, No, not really, it's just it's just patience and
keeping an eye on them. Okay, there, you're you're not
repotting them or doing anything like that, so they don't
need any fertilizer. I would say too, as far as
fertilizer goes, unless you're doing something that you're wanting to
get them into bloom, you can so on green plants,
(06:02):
I wouldn't fertilize them going forward until the end of
the opposite end of this is when we're getting ready
when the days are lengthening and not shortening.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
So late February early.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
March years ago, when we lived right up the road
here in Oregon, I remember I broughten in a plant
that had died, and I was brought in the soil
in the in the in the bucket it was in,
and I just set it in. There was like this
the furnace was like out like accessible from the outside.
So I set it in there. And then in springtime
I go to get it ready and I reach in
(06:36):
there and I reached my hand down on the soil
to kind of scoop it out, and there was a
toad that lived the winter, and.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
I wasn't sure where you were going with this, though, Okay,
the toad is acceptable.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
He loved it. He apparently lived the great although he
did not like when I woke him up from his slumber.
He lived the great winter in that little in that
little bowl. So you got a question, really love to
have you join us. Six eight three two one thirteen ten.
That's six eight three two one thirteen ten. Speaking of
adorable little creatures, You've got Family fall Fest coming up
(07:09):
in just a couple of this week.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Do I don't know who's more adorable, the kiddos that
come or the baby animals are there for.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
The petting zoo. Yeah, so that's Saturday from eleven to two.
So I've been doing they've been doing.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
The petting zoo for a long time at the Bruce Company.
But Fall Fest, I think this is maybe the tenth
or maybe the eleventh Fall Fest. When I first came
back from Sheboygan, the petting zoo is a spring thing,
and pretty soon after I was back, so twenty thirteen
or twenty fourteen, we moved it to fall where it
(07:47):
is much better because there's a.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Lot more going on. So so we'll.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Have the petting zoo that's it's it's free. If you
want to purchase some food to feed the animals, you
can do that.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
It's a dollar a cup. All the proceeds will go
to Fetch.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Oh nice, yes.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
So but the other activities there, there's pumpkin painting, there's
a face painter there, and a balloon guy. Those are
all free activities. There will be I believe, like a
coffee truck with hot coco and that kind of thing.
So again that that's an outside vendor, so they will
be charging for yeah's.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
A you think about a fun way to to spend
an afternoon and spend the morning is get out fall
fast you kiddos, get to see some gritters. You maybe
do a little bit of shop and check out some
cool Yeah. Yeah, pick up a cup of hot cocoa
and a thing of thing of feed and know that
when you're buying that feed going to.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Fetch by and Fetch will be there as well. Oh
are you serious, I'm serious? Oh yeah, Fetch will be
there as well. So we've got to go out either
today or tomorrow and figure out what all the moving
parts are for where everything is going to be. But yeah,
Fetch will be there with pup as well, So if
you wanted to donate directly to them, you could do that,
(09:07):
or you know, you could start some adoption paperwork.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
If you're interested in doing that.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
They'll they usually bring a litter of puppies in several
older foster dogs.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Okay, has anybody named their foster dog Bruce yet?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Not that I know.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I would suggest that if somebody could do that, that'd
be so cool if you if you adopt one, name
him or her Bruce as well.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Well. They do come with names, although I'm pretty sure
you could change the names. But they tend to pick
themes for their litters. Oh so like they'll all be
named after I don't know, characters from a movie series
or I think there was a tree one okay this
summer where they were all named like Birch and yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Very clever stuff. So we'll see and you'll find out,
of course, for fall Fest, what the what the puppies
theme is?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Maybe?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Uh yeah, like I.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Said, there's the actually bring a little puppy. So it's
very popular, the puppies, I bet.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
It is another thing very popular. Getting down the Air
with Lisa breaks from the Bruce Company tel for number
six soh eight three two one thirteen ten. That's six
eight three two one thirteen ten, and Mike joins us. Mike,
welcome to the program. You're on the air. Releasa breaks
from the Bruce Company.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Good morning, Lisa, and thanks so much for for taking
my call.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
No worries.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
I you may have mentioned this on a previous show,
but I want to make sure that for whatever I
can to get as much energy as I can hit
back into the planet before I trim them back, and
specifically with regard to flox and to peonies. Okay, and
they've started to, you know, they've started to do their
their annual thing of losing their flowers of course, yeah,
(10:44):
getting some black and so forth on the stems. Is
it okay to trim those back before for us?
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Absolutely, any of your perennials, if you know, it's it's
nice to be out in your yard when it's not
thirty degrees, so go ahead if you have time.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Fall cleanup is good.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
If you had any other issues on your penies or flocks,
both of them sometimes can be magnets for powdery mildew,
So if there's any like it, it's like a white
coating on the foliage. You'll want to get rid of
that material, so don't If you have a home compost pile,
(11:22):
don't put it in there. It won't get hot enough
to kill off the overwintering structure.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
And don't leave it layining around in your garden. That's material,
anything that you are cleaning up that had some kind
of disease.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
You're going to want to put that out for the
city to take away or take take it to your
local composting place. So those big piles get hot enough
to kill off the fungal spores where your home piles.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Hardly ever do Wow.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
I never I never thought of it that way.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Yeah, yeah, don't leave thet stop hanging a No.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Yeah, I don't count of post it at home. But
I just wasn't sure that it would take the bigger piles.
Of course, over at the Middleton keys.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Yeah, they'll get they will get hot enough.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Oh okay, fantastic, Thank you so much for your help.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
You're welcome.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Great call. Great question. You two could be like Mike,
if you've got a question, give us call gets you
on the air. Of these breaks from the Bruce Company
six eight three two one thirteen ten. That's six so
eight three two one thirteen ten. Remember was when I
was a kid, there used to be a place city
of Walkie Shaw used to collect all the Christmas trees
at the end of the season and they created this
giant pile and after a while, in the middle of winter,
(12:34):
it would start steaming. It would get so dang hot.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
That is Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
One of my first years at Bruce Company, a palette
of bad sod kind.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Of on fire.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
That's very bad.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Sid bad sod is really horrible.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Yeah, who knew.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Wow, we saw like the smoke coming out. We're like, oh,
and then we went back behind the shop and there
was kind of.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Just smolder in a way.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
So we doused it and then sort of spread it out.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Oh wow great.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
I don't know if you get like in the spring,
if you're doing bulching in the summer, you always have
to be careful because if you.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Get bulk maulch.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Also, it gets really hot in there in a pile
of you know, thirty or forty yards of malts.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Want to be very careful. That's talking this running with
Lisa Breaks from the Bruce Company. If you've got a question,
Lisa'd love to answer it for you. I just pick
up phone gifts called six eight three two one thirteen ten.
That's six eight three two one thirteen ten. We'll get
your ride on the air. We'll talk with Lisa a
little bit more about some great events coming up at
the Bruce Company. I'll sell bulbs. We haven't touched on bold.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
No, we haven't talked about bulb.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
I think it's important to talk about bulbs.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
I think so too.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Then then we're definitely going to talk about bulbs. We'll
do that and take your call next phone number six
oh eight three two one thirteen ten. That's six eight

That's all one word, Bruce Company dot com. You can
find them all so Facebook and social media the Bruce Company.
If you've got a question, got an opportunity for you
to get right on the air, got a line open
for you. Six so eight three two one thirteen ten.
That's six so eight three two one thirteen ten. We'll
(14:35):
get you on the air with Lisa Breaks from Bruce Company.
Door Forget a great day to get on in, whether
it's online mentioned Bruce Company dot com or physically go
on in Middleton Gardens of the Bruce Company twenty eight
thirty par Mentor Street. That's twenty eight thirty par Mentor Street.
A bunch of different activities coming up, including family Fallfest. Uh.
You can follow online and get all the details on that.
(14:55):
And I know, Lisa, we've been talking spring blooming ball.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Yes, and you plant in the fall plan.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
I know. It's always weird because people will when tulips
and daffodils are blooming, people always come in and ask
for them and they're just not available at that time.
So when we talk all the time about how patient
gardeners are, this is one of the most patient things
that can do right because you don't see anything. So
(15:32):
so of course there are tulips, daffodil, crocus, all those
things that that are beautiful and are easy to grow,
just need a little sun. And then there are also
some weirder, some more unusual. Yes, yes, so we talked
about fritile area. Yes, last week. I am very fond
(15:54):
of camassia, which is sort of blooms later, sort of
sky blue flowers, really pretty that can take some shade.
That's one of my faves, always has been. But there
are lots of other ones too. So what you want
to do with these is you want to plant them
in the fall. But I would say, you want to
(16:17):
wait till the ground starts so cool. So we're gonna
want to wait till we have some sustained colder weather
or a frost would be helpful to would be a
good sign that the climate is sort of shifting over
to more winter weather. All these bulbs need what we
call a chill period. Okay, so they need to spend
the winter outdoors, which is why you know, if you
(16:39):
forget to if you buy them and forget to plant them,
and they're still viable comes spring if you plant them,
that's why you don't get flowers.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Oh okay, did you because they need that chill period?
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Did you post not too long about coaxing? Yeah, yes,
we passed that point where.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
You well, no, you can still do forcing okay, forcing
is that it's it's the same same thing though you
need to plant them, but you put them in pots
instead of in the ground. And so best way to
then deal with those you want them to be in
a dark, cool place but not frozen for the winter.
(17:17):
If you've got an inside corner of your garage, so
an unheated garage, you would put them in like a
seraphoam cooler and then that will give them the chill
period without freezing the pots solid, so that then the
bulbs get mushy because there's not enough insulation around them.
And in that case, you know, you water them, check
(17:38):
them every couple of weeks to see if they're really dry.
Then when in end of February March, you're going to
open that up and let the light in and if
you tip the pot upside down, you'll see the roots
are starting to come out. That's when they're ready to go.
And so then you water them and then you bring
them in the house or put them in pots outside.
You know, you can put that pot inside another pot
(18:01):
and do a display.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
How can I protect said delicious victials from vermin?
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Well, there are some that are naturally resistant to vermin.
Like daffodils, Fritillaria allium of course, because they're from the
onion anything that's from the onion family. The best way
to plant is whether you are going to dig holes
individually and plant them individually, whether you're going to dig
out like a trench and sort of scatter them and
(18:30):
then backfill. You're going to want to put in some
bul booster. It's a granular organic fertilizer that just helps
get the roots started, and then you're going to want
to spray them with a repellent to make them stinky,
so repels all liquid fens is a good one.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Do you want to use a liquid though not a
granular one.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
I love shakeaway, but this is not a place for shakeaway.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
You want it to be on.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
The bulb and then backfill and if you want to
spray the ground one more time with the with the
animal repellent, that would not hurt.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Does not It may hurt your nostrils, but yeah, it is.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
The liquids can be pretty disgusting. We're gloves, don't get
it on your hands. But it does dissipate pretty quickly
for humans. And now it's not the time like in
the summer when you spray that stuff in your windows
are open. Oh yeah, that's gross, but that's not necessarily
the case now, and they're very effective and they Yeah,
you just want to keep them away while the ground
(19:33):
is soft because this is the time of year when
critters are digging them out. Later, when they start coming up,
then other critters will come and want to eat the foliage.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
But that's not what they're doing right now. They're going
to haul them away.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
It's like a squirrel thinks that you know, you've just
planted an entire cash of food for them, So keep
those guys away.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Yeah. Advice is morning leaves of breaks around the First Company.
If you've got questions, still got a little bit, I
love to have a joint us this morning. Six so
eight three two one thirteen ten. That's six soh eight
three two one thirteen dead gets you right on the
air release breaks from the Bruce Company. Don't forget about
their website Brucecompany dot com. All when word Bruce Company
dot com, Facebook and social media the Bruce Company, or
even better, get on in great day to get into
(20:16):
the Middleton Garden center of the Bruce Company. Right at
twenty eight thirty parm Retter Street. That's twenty eight thirty
Parment Street sales specials. You guys always got cool stuff
going on in that front. Still making room for the
for the holiday season.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Inside the store, we're about halfway through the process. Okay,
so I forget how many trees we have up. Not
quite half of the looks are done, but we're we're
we're getting there, but it'll get done.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Do you have your notebook with you today?
Speaker 2 (20:45):
It's in my bag.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Okay, yeah. I always for folks that don't know, I
like to peek at her notebook to see what she's
working on. As far as as far as the Christmas
and holidays.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Yeah, so that is that is going up.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Things like Fraser four candles and Old World Christmas. Those
things are out so you can come in and take
a look. As far as outside, you know, we've got
another month, maybe another five weeks depending what the weather does,
before we need to start turning around. It's a pretty
quick flip out there, you know. Within a day or two,
(21:18):
nursery stock that we're saving is packed away and tables
are out to set up for for Christmas, trees and
other greens and that kind of thing. So it is though,
a great time to save. And of course the weather's
been perfect for a long extended fall planting season, so
(21:41):
again you're gonna want to use roots stimulator when you plant. Now,
you're gonna want to water, commit to watering probably through
the end of November. You're gonna want to mulch.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Perennials.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
I would hold off malching perennials until the ground freezes.
The perfect thing about it that makes it even better
is that stuff is on sale, so we want to
overwinter as little as possible. Of course leaves us space
to buy new exciting things for next year. But you
can save right now sixty percent on all the trees,
(22:15):
shrubs and evergreens, and thirty percent off on all of
our perennials.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Wow, some great, great opportunities there. And also the great
thing too is when you go to the Bruce Companies,
people know what exactly all that. Everybody on hand there
can help you find the perfect plant, perfect planting and
lets you know exactly how to care for it.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
And we'll have some specials for the weekend for fall
fast so.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Check if you get the paper, there'd be you know,
a wrap they called a spadia on the Thursday paper,
but otherwise you can always check our website Friday morning.
There's also a link to the specials page on our
Facebook page, and so that can tell you exactly what
the specials are and what we're doing with everything else
as well.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Pumpkin voting. Pumpkin voting is still on.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
I'm hoping to get the pumpkin to last through the weekend,
but the heat has made it.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Start to decompose.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
And the thought was is that if we kind of
did something to.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Arrest the decomposition. But I think it's.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Past that point, so we're leaving it in place and
still starts to get stinky, but so so, but we're
really hoping that it's there for Fall Fest. I mean,
that's that's the hope for all of us. But and
the cooler weather that's coming should help.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Does Charlie come and pick up the pumpkin and the
seeds with it?
Speaker 2 (23:43):
No, they buy the seeds from an auction house. Oh
so they don't.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
They're not sure what stopped the pumpkin from growing this year,
whether there was you know, the thought is that some
kind of fungal disease was in the vine. You don't
know how far that got into the pumpkin itself, so
that's not seed that you necessarily want to use for
your next giant pumpkin.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
So I think what they do is that people who
have really big ones and.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Win awards and stuff, then they auction off the seeds.
So I think that they buy seed that way, and
sometimes as a lark, they'll take seeds from last year's pumpkin.
But this wasn't a great year for that, because we
really don't know the cause of whatever happened to this
(24:36):
pumpkin that we have that is not as big as
they have been in the past, but it's still pretty big.
So yeah, so you can still go to the Facebook page.
I think I'll boost the post so it comes back
to the top of everybody's feed. Or if you're in
the store, it's right outside the front door. You can't
get into the store without looking at it. And so
(24:58):
you can stop at the plant dusk and put a
ballot in there for a guess prices right rules, so
closest without going over. No hints except that we had
to use a forklift to move it.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Okay, that's all. I get five pounds. It's pardon more
than five.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
It's more than five pounds. Now you're making me give hints.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
You gotta put you gotta put your eyes on it. Folks,
get on in and vote. Of course, you can vote
online on their Facebook page as well, even better as match.
They'll get your eyes on a Take a look right

is Lisa Briggs from the Bruce Company. Lisa, how you
doing this week?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I'm good.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
How are you? I'm doing good. It's great to see
you and good to see you too. We've got exciting
stuff to talk about, fun stuff coming up as always
at the Bruce Company. But first and foremost, forecast time.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
I know, okay, I'm going to say, salmy alarm.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
If you haven't put your plants inside?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Do it?
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Do it?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Yeah, I mean they're forecasting low forties and one night
is thirty eight.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Okay, so time to get that stuff inside.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
What should we do?
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Okay, So sometime today go to the garden center and
pick up some insecticide for house plants, a topical one
and then a systemic okay, and then treat the plants,
soak them down with the spray. You can let it
drip outside because tonight is low forty seven so should
(01:23):
be fine, and then bring them inside after the and
then you can bring them inside tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
The spray that yeah ready to use, yeah, okay, And
the other stuff you put in the soil.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
The other stuff you put in the soil, I'll look
at that.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I'm learning.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
So the the topical one that you spray on the
plant will kill any insects that.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Are on the plant, okay.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
And the systemic will kill any insects or eggs that
have been laid in the soil or on the plant
as well.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
What happens, Lisa, if I don't do these things.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Well, so you might be lucky. You're you know, we've
had some chilli nights. We've also had some really warm days,
so you might be lucky. Your plants might not have
anything on them to bring into the house. But if
they do, even if the problem outside is small and
not noticeable, once it gets into your house where there's
(02:17):
no wind and there's no rainfall to knock things back,
and there are no natural predators.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
A little problem.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Can become a big problem very quickly, and it can
spread to the plants that you didn't have outside.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
And that's hard.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
It's hard to it's much harder to treat when they're
indoors then when they're outside, and you can just you know,
soak them down.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
And those little critters fully appreciate your climate controlled indoors
and they well.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
They do, and there's just there's just nothing to stop them. Yeah,
you know, like aphids, for instance, are just makes me
itch just thinking about them. But a heavy rainfall or
a good squirt with a hoes will knock aphis off
pretty quickly. Okay, that's not happening in your house, no, right,
So things not even not even predators issue or climate,
(03:08):
it's just that there are forces at work outside that
can help keep a problem bearable.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
I guess, let's.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Say I want to start bringing in at night, but
letting them get some fresh air.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
And you could certainly do that while the days are
in the fifties. I think that's fine if it's sunny,
if it gets windy. Now that it's fall and the
winds are coming from the north, you might want to
put them in a little more sheltered spot. Remember that
the sunniest part in place in your house is not
as sunny as it was outside, so there's going to
(03:43):
be some acclamation issues, certainly on things like ficus or
hibiscus that are really highlight plants that.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Resent being moved.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
You're going to see some neat, some leaves yellowing and
falling off. That's typical when you bring plants indoors and
they're having to reacclimate. So put them all in the
sunniest spot in your house, and then you can gradually
move them back into their regular places as they get
used to the change in light. And remember too that indoors,
(04:14):
as your plants start to go dormant, they're going to
use less water, so you're gonna have to get used
to a new watering schedule. So do a good soak
and then check after a week or you know, depending
on the size of your plants, and then get to
know your plants winter water regimen. Remember too that if
(04:36):
you've got succulence, yes, they're not going to need a
lot of water at all indoors. Oh, and they like
a cooler spot, so put them in a sunny window.
But it doesn't matter if it's a cold sunny window.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Grated information as always, and you two can be like me.
If you've got a question for Lisa.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
That was a long answer for like a like a
five word question, wasn't it.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
That's a great answer. A lot of questions about that,
you too, If you've got a question to get you
on the air six eight three two one thirteen ten.
That's six eight three two one thirteen ten, we'll get
you right on the air at LEASA breaks from the
Bruce Company. No forget about their website, Brucecompany dot com.
That's Bruce coompany dot com, Facebook and social media the
Bruce Company. Great day to get on in right at
twenty eight thirty Parment Street. That's where you will find
(05:17):
the Middleton Garden Center of the Bruce Company. And again
phone lines are open for you right now at six
eight three two one thirteen ten. That's three two one
thirteen ten. Do they make any kind of like acclamation
or anything like I know, like I think of like
when putting in a new tree, a little root stimulator
kind of help them get going. Is there anything that
that could be brought into to help your plants with
(05:39):
that with.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Them, No, not really, it's just it's just patience and
keeping an eye on them. Okay, there, you're you're not
repotting them or doing anything like that, so they don't
need any fertilizer. I would say too, as far as
fertilizer goes, unless you're doing something that you're wanting to
get them into bloom, you can so on green plants,
(06:02):
I wouldn't fertilize them going forward until the end of
the opposite end of this is when we're getting ready
when the days are lengthening and not shortening.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
So late February early.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
March years ago, when we lived right up the road
here in Oregon, I remember I broughten in a plant
that had died, and I was brought in the soil
in the in the in the bucket it was in,
and I just set it in. There was like this
the furnace was like out like accessible from the outside.
So I set it in there. And then in springtime
I go to get it ready and I reach in
(06:36):
there and I reached my hand down on the soil
to kind of scoop it out, and there was a
toad that lived the winter, and.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
I wasn't sure where you were going with this, though, Okay,
the toad is acceptable.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
He loved it. He apparently lived the great although he
did not like when I woke him up from his slumber.
He lived the great winter in that little in that
little bowl. So you got a question, really love to
have you join us. Six eight three two one thirteen ten.
That's six eight three two one thirteen ten. Speaking of
adorable little creatures, You've got Family fall Fest coming up
(07:09):
in just a couple of this week.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Do I don't know who's more adorable, the kiddos that
come or the baby animals are there for.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
The petting zoo. Yeah, so that's Saturday from eleven to two.
So I've been doing they've been doing.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
The petting zoo for a long time at the Bruce Company.
But Fall Fest, I think this is maybe the tenth
or maybe the eleventh Fall Fest. When I first came
back from Sheboygan, the petting zoo is a spring thing,
and pretty soon after I was back, so twenty thirteen
or twenty fourteen, we moved it to fall where it
(07:47):
is much better because there's a.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Lot more going on. So so we'll.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Have the petting zoo that's it's it's free. If you
want to purchase some food to feed the animals, you
can do that.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
It's a dollar a cup. All the proceeds will go
to Fetch.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Oh nice, yes.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
So but the other activities there, there's pumpkin painting, there's
a face painter there, and a balloon guy. Those are
all free activities. There will be I believe, like a
coffee truck with hot coco and that kind of thing.
So again that that's an outside vendor, so they will
be charging for yeah's.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
A you think about a fun way to to spend
an afternoon and spend the morning is get out fall
fast you kiddos, get to see some gritters. You maybe
do a little bit of shop and check out some
cool Yeah. Yeah, pick up a cup of hot cocoa
and a thing of thing of feed and know that
when you're buying that feed going to.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Fetch by and Fetch will be there as well. Oh
are you serious, I'm serious? Oh yeah, Fetch will be
there as well. So we've got to go out either
today or tomorrow and figure out what all the moving
parts are for where everything is going to be. But yeah,
Fetch will be there with pup as well, So if
you wanted to donate directly to them, you could do that,
(09:07):
or you know, you could start some adoption paperwork.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
If you're interested in doing that.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
They'll they usually bring a litter of puppies in several
older foster dogs.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Okay, has anybody named their foster dog Bruce yet?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Not that I know.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I would suggest that if somebody could do that, that'd
be so cool if you if you adopt one, name
him or her Bruce as well.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Well. They do come with names, although I'm pretty sure
you could change the names. But they tend to pick
themes for their litters. Oh so like they'll all be
named after I don't know, characters from a movie series
or I think there was a tree one okay this
summer where they were all named like Birch and yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Very clever stuff. So we'll see and you'll find out,
of course, for fall Fest, what the what the puppies
theme is?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Maybe?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Uh yeah, like I.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Said, there's the actually bring a little puppy. So it's
very popular, the puppies, I bet.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
It is another thing very popular. Getting down the Air
with Lisa breaks from the Bruce Company tel for number
six soh eight three two one thirteen ten. That's six
eight three two one thirteen ten, and Mike joins us. Mike,
welcome to the program. You're on the air. Releasa breaks
from the Bruce Company.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Good morning, Lisa, and thanks so much for for taking
my call.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
No worries.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
I you may have mentioned this on a previous show,
but I want to make sure that for whatever I
can to get as much energy as I can hit
back into the planet before I trim them back, and
specifically with regard to flox and to peonies. Okay, and
they've started to, you know, they've started to do their
their annual thing of losing their flowers of course, yeah,
(10:44):
getting some black and so forth on the stems. Is
it okay to trim those back before for us?
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Absolutely, any of your perennials, if you know, it's it's
nice to be out in your yard when it's not
thirty degrees, so go ahead if you have time.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Fall cleanup is good.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
If you had any other issues on your penies or flocks,
both of them sometimes can be magnets for powdery mildew,
So if there's any like it, it's like a white
coating on the foliage. You'll want to get rid of
that material, so don't If you have a home compost pile,
(11:22):
don't put it in there. It won't get hot enough
to kill off the overwintering structure.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
And don't leave it layining around in your garden. That's material,
anything that you are cleaning up that had some kind
of disease.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
You're going to want to put that out for the
city to take away or take take it to your
local composting place. So those big piles get hot enough
to kill off the fungal spores where your home piles.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Hardly ever do Wow.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
I never I never thought of it that way.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Yeah, yeah, don't leave thet stop hanging a No.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Yeah, I don't count of post it at home. But
I just wasn't sure that it would take the bigger piles.
Of course, over at the Middleton keys.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Yeah, they'll get they will get hot enough.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Oh okay, fantastic, Thank you so much for your help.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
You're welcome.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Great call. Great question. You two could be like Mike,
if you've got a question, give us call gets you
on the air. Of these breaks from the Bruce Company
six eight three two one thirteen ten. That's six so
eight three two one thirteen ten. Remember was when I
was a kid, there used to be a place city
of Walkie Shaw used to collect all the Christmas trees
at the end of the season and they created this
giant pile and after a while, in the middle of winter,
(12:34):
it would start steaming. It would get so dang hot.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
That is Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
One of my first years at Bruce Company, a palette
of bad sod kind.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Of on fire.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
That's very bad.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Sid bad sod is really horrible.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Yeah, who knew.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Wow, we saw like the smoke coming out. We're like, oh,
and then we went back behind the shop and there
was kind of.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Just smolder in a way.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
So we doused it and then sort of spread it out.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Oh wow great.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
I don't know if you get like in the spring,
if you're doing bulching in the summer, you always have
to be careful because if you.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Get bulk maulch.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Also, it gets really hot in there in a pile
of you know, thirty or forty yards of malts.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Want to be very careful. That's talking this running with
Lisa Breaks from the Bruce Company. If you've got a question,
Lisa'd love to answer it for you. I just pick
up phone gifts called six eight three two one thirteen ten.
That's six eight three two one thirteen ten. We'll get

little bit more about some great events coming up at
the Bruce Company. I'll sell bulbs. We haven't touched on bold.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
No, we haven't talked about bulb.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
I think it's important to talk about bulbs.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
I think so too.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Then then we're definitely going to talk about bulbs. We'll
do that and take your call next phone number six
oh eight three two one thirteen ten. That's six eight

If you've got a question, got an opportunity for you
to get right on the air, got a line open
for you. Six so eight three two one thirteen ten.
That's six so eight three two one thirteen ten. We'll
(14:35):
get you on the air with Lisa Breaks from Bruce Company.
Door Forget a great day to get on in, whether
it's online mentioned Bruce Company dot com or physically go
on in Middleton Gardens of the Bruce Company twenty eight
thirty par Mentor Street. That's twenty eight thirty par Mentor Street.
A bunch of different activities coming up, including family Fallfest. Uh.
You can follow online and get all the details on that.
(14:55):
And I know, Lisa, we've been talking spring blooming ball.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Yes, and you plant in the fall plan.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
I know. It's always weird because people will when tulips
and daffodils are blooming, people always come in and ask
for them and they're just not available at that time.
So when we talk all the time about how patient
gardeners are, this is one of the most patient things
that can do right because you don't see anything. So
(15:32):
so of course there are tulips, daffodil, crocus, all those
things that that are beautiful and are easy to grow,
just need a little sun. And then there are also
some weirder, some more unusual. Yes, yes, so we talked
about fritile area. Yes, last week. I am very fond
(15:54):
of camassia, which is sort of blooms later, sort of
sky blue flowers, really pretty that can take some shade.
That's one of my faves, always has been. But there
are lots of other ones too. So what you want
to do with these is you want to plant them
in the fall. But I would say, you want to
(16:17):
wait till the ground starts so cool. So we're gonna
want to wait till we have some sustained colder weather
or a frost would be helpful to would be a
good sign that the climate is sort of shifting over
to more winter weather. All these bulbs need what we
call a chill period. Okay, so they need to spend
the winter outdoors, which is why you know, if you
(16:39):
forget to if you buy them and forget to plant them,
and they're still viable comes spring if you plant them,
that's why you don't get flowers.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Oh okay, did you because they need that chill period?
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Did you post not too long about coaxing? Yeah, yes,
we passed that point where.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
You well, no, you can still do forcing okay, forcing
is that it's it's the same same thing though you
need to plant them, but you put them in pots
instead of in the ground. And so best way to
then deal with those you want them to be in
a dark, cool place but not frozen for the winter.
(17:17):
If you've got an inside corner of your garage, so
an unheated garage, you would put them in like a
seraphoam cooler and then that will give them the chill
period without freezing the pots solid, so that then the
bulbs get mushy because there's not enough insulation around them.
And in that case, you know, you water them, check
(17:38):
them every couple of weeks to see if they're really dry.
Then when in end of February March, you're going to
open that up and let the light in and if
you tip the pot upside down, you'll see the roots
are starting to come out. That's when they're ready to go.
And so then you water them and then you bring
them in the house or put them in pots outside.
You know, you can put that pot inside another pot
(18:01):
and do a display.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
How can I protect said delicious victials from vermin?
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Well, there are some that are naturally resistant to vermin.
Like daffodils, Fritillaria allium of course, because they're from the
onion anything that's from the onion family. The best way
to plant is whether you are going to dig holes
individually and plant them individually, whether you're going to dig
out like a trench and sort of scatter them and
(18:30):
then backfill. You're going to want to put in some
bul booster. It's a granular organic fertilizer that just helps
get the roots started, and then you're going to want
to spray them with a repellent to make them stinky,
so repels all liquid fens is a good one.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Do you want to use a liquid though not a
granular one.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
I love shakeaway, but this is not a place for shakeaway.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
You want it to be on.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
The bulb and then backfill and if you want to
spray the ground one more time with the with the
animal repellent, that would not hurt.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Does not It may hurt your nostrils, but yeah, it is.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
The liquids can be pretty disgusting. We're gloves, don't get
it on your hands. But it does dissipate pretty quickly
for humans. And now it's not the time like in
the summer when you spray that stuff in your windows
are open. Oh yeah, that's gross, but that's not necessarily
the case now, and they're very effective and they Yeah,
you just want to keep them away while the ground
(19:33):
is soft because this is the time of year when
critters are digging them out. Later, when they start coming up,
then other critters will come and want to eat the foliage.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
But that's not what they're doing right now. They're going
to haul them away.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
It's like a squirrel thinks that you know, you've just
planted an entire cash of food for them, So keep
those guys away.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Yeah. Advice is morning leaves of breaks around the First Company.

Okay, yeah. I always for folks that don't know, I
like to peek at her notebook to see what she's
working on. As far as as far as the Christmas
and holidays.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Yeah, so that is that is going up.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Things like Fraser four candles and Old World Christmas. Those
things are out so you can come in and take
a look. As far as outside, you know, we've got
another month, maybe another five weeks depending what the weather does,
before we need to start turning around. It's a pretty
quick flip out there, you know. Within a day or two,
(21:18):
nursery stock that we're saving is packed away and tables
are out to set up for for Christmas, trees and
other greens and that kind of thing. So it is though,
a great time to save. And of course the weather's
been perfect for a long extended fall planting season, so
(21:41):
again you're gonna want to use roots stimulator when you plant. Now,
you're gonna want to water, commit to watering probably through
the end of November. You're gonna want to mulch.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Perennials.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
I would hold off malching perennials until the ground freezes.
The perfect thing about it that makes it even better
is that stuff is on sale, so we want to
overwinter as little as possible. Of course leaves us space
to buy new exciting things for next year. But you
can save right now sixty percent on all the trees,
(22:15):
shrubs and evergreens, and thirty percent off on all of
our perennials.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Wow, some great, great opportunities there. And also the great
thing too is when you go to the Bruce Companies,
people know what exactly all that. Everybody on hand there
can help you find the perfect plant, perfect planting and
lets you know exactly how to care for it.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
And we'll have some specials for the weekend for fall
fast so.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Check if you get the paper, there'd be you know,
a wrap they called a spadia on the Thursday paper,
but otherwise you can always check our website Friday morning.
There's also a link to the specials page on our
Facebook page, and so that can tell you exactly what
the specials are and what we're doing with everything else
as well.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Pumpkin voting. Pumpkin voting is still on.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
I'm hoping to get the pumpkin to last through the weekend,
but the heat has made it.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Start to decompose.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
And the thought was is that if we kind of
did something to.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Arrest the decomposition. But I think it's.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Past that point, so we're leaving it in place and
still starts to get stinky, but so so, but we're
really hoping that it's there for Fall Fest. I mean,
that's that's the hope for all of us. But and
the cooler weather that's coming should help.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Does Charlie come and pick up the pumpkin and the
seeds with it?
Speaker 2 (23:43):
No, they buy the seeds from an auction house. Oh
so they don't.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
They're not sure what stopped the pumpkin from growing this year,
whether there was you know, the thought is that some
kind of fungal disease was in the vine. You don't
know how far that got into the pumpkin itself, so
that's not seed that you necessarily want to use for
your next giant pumpkin.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
So I think what they do is that people who
have really big ones and.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Win awards and stuff, then they auction off the seeds.
So I think that they buy seed that way, and
sometimes as a lark, they'll take seeds from last year's pumpkin.
But this wasn't a great year for that, because we
really don't know the cause of whatever happened to this
(24:36):
pumpkin that we have that is not as big as
they have been in the past, but it's still pretty big.
So yeah, so you can still go to the Facebook page.
I think I'll boost the post so it comes back
to the top of everybody's feed. Or if you're in
the store, it's right outside the front door. You can't
get into the store without looking at it. And so
(24:58):
you can stop at the plant dusk and put a
ballot in there for a guess prices right rules, so
closest without going over. No hints except that we had
to use a forklift to move it.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Okay, that's all. I get five pounds. It's pardon more
than five.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
It's more than five pounds. Now you're making me give hints.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
You gotta put you gotta put your eyes on it. Folks,
get on in and vote. Of course, you can vote
online on their Facebook page as well, even better as match.
They'll get your eyes on a Take a look right
