thirteen ten. What I miss ah?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
I don't know a lot.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Maybe some crazy weather too.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
I know, goodness is if weather guys are all a
tizzy all and you know it. I feel like National
News last week. I even saw somebody commenting on it.
So you know what may has the potential to be
severece you want to be very careful with that with
the weather and looking at where we are, I mean
sixties throughout the week. Obviously chance storms tonight, but warm temperatures.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Yeah, Plants that you have outside, you know, barring if
you're putting out like tomatoes or anything, super tender should
be fine unless there are changes. But if you've got
you know, new things out that are tender tonight, I
don't know. I'd probably throw like a bucket or something
over them.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Just in case, just keeping covered.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Yeah, although everybody says that what happens tonight will depend
a lot on what happens today, I don't know exactly
what that.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Means, but I'll be watching you will.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
The weather radio at the garden Center will be turned
on loud.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
You burn all those noises.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
And I know we have a lot of new staff
this year and they're all a concerned it happens. If
there's okay, we got a plan. Don't learn about it.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
You know it's got you covered. Is there an app
for those type of things? Well, you've got how many
weather apps on your phone?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Does couple?
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Does?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
What about a map app that you showed me? A
couple of tracking birds? And I thought I had seen last.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Week as it's a hummingbird one. Okay, hummingbird central is
what it's called central. And it's kind of fun because
you can if you see one, you can add that
sighting and so it's live. It's kind of cool you
can see. So last week there there were sightings in
sun Prairie. Oh and I forget where else.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
That's a good sign.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Yeah, so they're here. They moved really fast, because I
think like two or three weeks ago they were in
like Saint Louis.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
So those little how those little wings flutter all the
way this far north.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
That is that is crazy.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I did see also something you had mentioned a couple
of years ago, and I one of these birding sites
I was on was talking about how birds migrate and
and how high up they they travel at night, their
night there are.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Birds travel at night, and actually they studies show that
they navigate by the stars. So those patterns are pretty ingrain.
It's kind of fascinating, it is. And I know people
are a little concerned about feeding birds because of bird flu,
but so far and Gayale and I checked this fairly regularly.
There are, of course risk factors that would maybe cause
(03:22):
you to not feed your backyard birds. But for the
most part, if you're not keeping chickens, or you don't
have pet birds, or you don't live by a waterway
where there is a lot of migration happening, feeding backyard
birds with clean feeders and high quality bird seed and
(03:45):
suet is not a problem. The DNR does not. Nobody's
saying don't feed birds.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
And they love it. They appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Yes, and yes they do. And it's you know, after
all this, these thousands of miles that they're traveling, they're
pretty hungry, and it gets you the chance to see
something that's just here for a day or two as
it moves further north. So it's kind of exciting.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
It is very exciting, really cool stuff too. As we
talk about different feeders, different types of feed.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
And different things.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Yea, the kind of something come on in and ask questions. Yeah,
got a couple people, a couple three people who are
super knowledgeable about birds. I am not one of them,
but Gail or Dave or Brenda they can all answer,
help answer those questions and help you navigate and figure
out do you have a risk or don't you have
a risk?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Okay, that's it's and it's such a again, such a
cool thing when you start bringing the birds in and
and they obviously appreciate it, and of course you get
a little bonus to you get to see some really
cool birds. Speaking of bringing bringing things in, I saw
it's more of a bringing things out. Guys busted out
the giant check over the week and of course had
kabloom go on.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
We had kabloom this weekend, and so we had some
some vendors came in and did some product demos. Purple
Cow was there. We have a new sort of a
cocktail slushy kind of thing that somebody was in and
she was making mocktail slushies because it was the morning,
(05:09):
rights but it is Wisconsin, but it was the morning
and so and some you know, we had one of
our designers was there doing some you know, some consults.
So there was a lot going on. But Fetch did
come in with a load of puppies who were all
like stupidly adorable, and we did give them the first check.
(05:32):
As you know, now we choose a charity for an
entire year. It used to be just at the holiday time,
but now we have it an entire year, and it
might be something just as simple as there's a box
by every register, so if you've got some spare change
or a couple of dollars you want to throw in there.
Two events where we have, you know, Fetch comes in
every month and brings the puppies in. We do a
(05:52):
lot of fundraising things at the holidays, and so they
get the benefit of all of that largest from us
and from our customers as well, and from our vendors
who donate a lot of things for raffles and giveaways
and that kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
It's really a win win.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
It's a really cool thing that's been doing with the
Bruce Company, and Fetch is obviously an awesome, awesome organization.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
So obviously now that Kabloom is behind us, that means
we're in. We're there. It's here right Bring is fringing.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
I know we're gonna put the tent up over the
bag products in the parking lot. Probably we're gonna wait
till tomorrow. Okay, we don't want the brand new tent
to blow across the barny lot. But yeah, Perennials have
moved out of the greenhouse onto the tables. Oh, Vegie
has not moved out yet.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
It might be.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
I don't know's it's Trent and Skylar's call it. What
they're going to do about it. We'll look at the
weather and decide what to do. Probably the cool weather
Veg'll move out of there and some of the herbs.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Friday was Arbor Day, wasn't it?
Speaker 3 (07:02):
It was? It was Earth Week last week.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
All week was Earth Week and we didn't get Obviously
we don't do the show on Fridays, but I know
obviously the Bruce Company trees and especially fruit bearing trees
you guys say, have just a great selection of and
really really good pick for folks that are looking to
kind of.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Yeah, not a lot of shade trees are in yet.
I'm hoping that we'll see more coming in this week.
But we do have a really good selection of ornamental
trees grab apples, tree, lilacs, service berry, all that kind
of thing. On the shrub beds are slowly filling. We
did get the Issley truck in last week, so we
(07:41):
got the first load of specialty conifers and all those
cute little boneesye plants that we sell under the atrium.
Like I said, perennials went out on tables. It's it's
just this is the time of year when if we
had a drone to take a photo every day or
to do some kind of time lapse, it's would be
really fun to see.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
It's one of those It's a time of year two
where it benefits to get in regularly to the Bruce
gus because I know that new stuff is. The trucks
are dropping off constantly.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Yeah, I don't know. We had ten or a dozen
last week. I will say this is also the time
of year when the phone gets at the plant desk
gets really really busy. There are only a couple days
a week when there's more than one person actually stationed there.
So if you have questions, especially if they're about availability,
please email Plant Desk at brucecompany dot com. A lot
(08:31):
of times people will call and they'll get the plant
dusk and they'll just say I have a question about this,
and then we call back. We don't know what your
question actually was, so we leave a message and then
you leave a message back. It goes back and forth.
If you email us, we respond to that a little
bit faster. It's a little bit easier to do emails

about things that maybe aren't doing well, or you have
questions about what is this plant or that plant? Is
this a weed? Is this not a weed? Is this
a good place to plant? This? Pictures are worth a

Speaker 3 (10:19):
Yeah so. Pollywood has been doing over the last ten
or twelve days a special on select collections, and so
these are new special orders. Hollywood is great. It's locally
made out of recycled materials. I think they're out of Indiana, Okay.
And they have a relatively quick turnaround time. And since
(10:42):
it's made in the States out of basically rejuvenated trash,
you can sort of miss out on any tariffs.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
That nice. Yeah happening, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
So, and you can say so stop into the garden center.
It ends today. We're opening today till six and the
furniture associates would love to show you the you know,
the beauty of Hollywood, and you can get something ordered
today and then you know, have it in probably three
to four weeks. So if you've got graduation parties or
(11:14):
something going on, you know in late May or early June,
we got you covered.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Its ends today though from the ends today. Yes, Now,
you can always.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Always order Hollywood. It always has a pretty quick turnaround.
It's always really great. It's always made in the United States.
But today is the last day you can.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Say, right now, right at Middleton.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Yes, there'll be another one later, but right now.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Twenty eight thirty apartment Street. That's twenty thirty apartment or street.
You're telling me, summer blooming ball.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Yes, So we're talking about things like Pogonia's cannas kalladiums.
I mean, these don't all flower. Per se kalladiums do,
but they're kind of minge looking flower. It's not the plants.
And also mixed in this batch are hardy perennial lilies. Okay,
that's all in the same group. So we're talking about
(12:09):
the bulbs, not the plants. But a lot of these bulbs,
most of them will flower this year, so you can
stop in. We still have a really good selection on
lilies and dahlia's and you'll save thirty percent.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
What if I want to plant quenoa? Is it too
early for that? Quen Wa?
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Do we have quen wa seed?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I think I thought we had it.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
I don't know if we still do. I don't know
anything about planting quin wa, So I don't know if
it's the you know, amoranth, which we sell as an
annual also through seed. It's a little more tender. It's
not one of the first annuals that we see, So
(12:52):
I'm wondering if it's not ready to be seeded outside yet. Okay,
but I don't know this because I've never personally planted
keen walk or spoken to anybody who has planned a
keen wah. But I'll see what I can find out
and maybe we can touch base about.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
This next week on that one as well.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
So as far as what can we be starting indoors,
what can we be putting out doors?
Speaker 3 (13:17):
I mean most things can go outdoors, and if you
you know all of those all those cool season stuff
for sure, lettuces, spinach, peas, that kind of thing. If
you're going to plant outside direct, So things that are
a little more tender, like beans, just be prepared to
maybe do a little bit of covering. We get some
(13:39):
low tempts. If you've started your tomatoes and your peppers
and eggplant and that kind of stuff inside, Hey, on
days like today, I would put them outside, Yes, you could,
certainly with the with the storms you're going to have,
I would put them someplace where they're sheltered so they're
not going to get beaten on by any rain. And
then and you just bring those things in and out.
(14:02):
The last frost free average date is May twelfth, but
we have had frosts as late as May thirtieth in
the last five years, so it can.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Happen with that.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Cheryl Crow, is it Cheryl Crow wrote a song about
tomatoes soaking up the sun?
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Right?
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Is that all about that? They love the sun this
time of year. They love that that sunshining.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Yeah. Yeah, and the heat as well.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
So yeah. So if you've if you've got vegetables that
you've started inside, or flowers or whatever, you know, on
these beautiful sunny days where the temps are, you know,
in the sixties, put them outside. They'll love it.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Yes, and and and not only is are they gonna
love it, You're gonna love what you reaped from though.
That is true, it's gonna it's gonna pay off tenpo
with that. You speaking of things outdoors and planting and
those and those type of things.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
I know that.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
You guys have the gardens, the out in Verona, the nursery,
and I saw a social media post you guys had
future farmers stop on it. I love they the way
when I worked with.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
I don't work with them much here at Bruce Company,
but when I was in Sheboygan on my sabbatical from
I did a lot of work with the Sheboygan Falls
High School f FA, and there the FFA is an
amazing organization. So yes, the leadership council was at our
farm facility down in Verona on Friday and they had
(15:41):
a lot of experiences. I think there was some sort
of exam some of them took. We had a brought fry.
So it's always really fun because those The FFA is
an organization that that sort of embraces all aspect of
agricultural businesses. And so some of these kids are farm
(16:04):
not all it's not all farmers. Some of these kids
are farm kids. It's nursery production, it's a lot of things,
but they are dedicated to sort of honing skills, teaching
strategies for coming up with new ideas. It's just a
great organization and it's so fun to see young people
excited about the green industry, no matter what direction they're
(16:26):
going to go in with.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
And for folks that want to see some photos great stuff, there's.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Some photos up there. Yeah, yeah, it was. I didn't
I didn't go, but I understand it was. It was
quite the thing.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
It is as you mentioned too, it's good to see
and it it makes you happy and hopeful for the
future when you see young people doing some pretty amazing stuff. Absolutely,
it's a great day. Get on in the middle of

I know we're gonna put the tent up over the
bag products in the parking lot. Probably we're gonna wait
till tomorrow. Okay, we don't want the brand new tent
to blow across the barny lot. But yeah, Perennials have
moved out of the greenhouse onto the tables. Oh, Vegie
has not moved out yet.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
It might be.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
I don't know's it's Trent and Skylar's call it. What
they're going to do about it. We'll look at the
weather and decide what to do. Probably the cool weather
Veg'll move out of there and some of the herbs.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Friday was Arbor Day, wasn't it?
Speaker 3 (07:02):
It was? It was Earth Week last week.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
All week was Earth Week and we didn't get Obviously
we don't do the show on Fridays, but I know
obviously the Bruce Company trees and especially fruit bearing trees
you guys say, have just a great selection of and
really really good pick for folks that are looking to
kind of.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Yeah, not a lot of shade trees are in yet.
I'm hoping that we'll see more coming in this week.
But we do have a really good selection of ornamental
trees grab apples, tree, lilacs, service berry, all that kind
of thing. On the shrub beds are slowly filling. We
did get the Issley truck in last week, so we
(07:41):
got the first load of specialty conifers and all those
cute little boneesye plants that we sell under the atrium.
Like I said, perennials went out on tables. It's it's
just this is the time of year when if we
had a drone to take a photo every day or
to do some kind of time lapse, it's would be
really fun to see.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
It's one of those It's a time of year two
where it benefits to get in regularly to the Bruce
gus because I know that new stuff is. The trucks
are dropping off constantly.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Yeah, I don't know. We had ten or a dozen
last week. I will say this is also the time
of year when the phone gets at the plant desk
gets really really busy. There are only a couple days
a week when there's more than one person actually stationed there.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
Yeah so. Pollywood has been doing over the last ten
or twelve days a special on select collections, and so
these are new special orders. Hollywood is great. It's locally
made out of recycled materials. I think they're out of Indiana, Okay.
And they have a relatively quick turnaround time. And since
(10:42):
it's made in the States out of basically rejuvenated trash,
you can sort of miss out on any tariffs.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
That nice. Yeah happening, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
So, and you can say so stop into the garden center.
It ends today. We're opening today till six and the
furniture associates would love to show you the you know,
the beauty of Hollywood, and you can get something ordered
today and then you know, have it in probably three
to four weeks. So if you've got graduation parties or
(11:14):
something going on, you know in late May or early June,
we got you covered.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Its ends today though from the ends today. Yes, Now,
you can always.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Always order Hollywood. It always has a pretty quick turnaround.
It's always really great. It's always made in the United States.
But today is the last day you can.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Say, right now, right at Middleton.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Yes, there'll be another one later, but right now.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Twenty eight thirty apartment Street. That's twenty thirty apartment or street.
You're telling me, summer blooming ball.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Yes, So we're talking about things like Pogonia's cannas kalladiums.
I mean, these don't all flower. Per se kalladiums do,
but they're kind of minge looking flower. It's not the plants.
And also mixed in this batch are hardy perennial lilies. Okay,
that's all in the same group. So we're talking about
(12:09):
the bulbs, not the plants. But a lot of these bulbs,
most of them will flower this year, so you can
stop in. We still have a really good selection on
lilies and dahlia's and you'll save thirty percent.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
What if I want to plant quenoa? Is it too
early for that? Quen Wa?
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Do we have quen wa seed?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I think I thought we had it.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
I don't know if we still do. I don't know
anything about planting quin wa, So I don't know if
it's the you know, amoranth, which we sell as an
annual also through seed. It's a little more tender. It's
not one of the first annuals that we see, So
(12:52):
I'm wondering if it's not ready to be seeded outside yet. Okay,
but I don't know this because I've never personally planted
keen walk or spoken to anybody who has planned a
keen wah. But I'll see what I can find out
and maybe we can touch base about.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
This next week on that one as well.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
So as far as what can we be starting indoors,
what can we be putting out doors?
Speaker 3 (13:17):
I mean most things can go outdoors, and if you
you know all of those all those cool season stuff
for sure, lettuces, spinach, peas, that kind of thing. If
you're going to plant outside direct, So things that are
a little more tender, like beans, just be prepared to
maybe do a little bit of covering. We get some
(13:39):
low tempts. If you've started your tomatoes and your peppers
and eggplant and that kind of stuff inside, Hey, on
days like today, I would put them outside, Yes, you could,
certainly with the with the storms you're going to have,
I would put them someplace where they're sheltered so they're
not going to get beaten on by any rain. And
then and you just bring those things in and out.
(14:02):
The last frost free average date is May twelfth, but
we have had frosts as late as May thirtieth in
the last five years, so it can.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Happen with that.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Cheryl Crow, is it Cheryl Crow wrote a song about
tomatoes soaking up the sun?
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Right?
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Is that all about that? They love the sun this
time of year. They love that that sunshining.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Yeah. Yeah, and the heat as well.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
So yeah. So if you've if you've got vegetables that
you've started inside, or flowers or whatever, you know, on
these beautiful sunny days where the temps are, you know,
in the sixties, put them outside. They'll love it.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Yes, and and and not only is are they gonna
love it, You're gonna love what you reaped from though.
That is true, it's gonna it's gonna pay off tenpo
with that. You speaking of things outdoors and planting and
those and those type of things.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
I know that.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
You guys have the gardens, the out in Verona, the nursery,
and I saw a social media post you guys had
future farmers stop on it. I love they the way
when I worked with.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
I don't work with them much here at Bruce Company,
but when I was in Sheboygan on my sabbatical from
I did a lot of work with the Sheboygan Falls
High School f FA, and there the FFA is an
amazing organization. So yes, the leadership council was at our
farm facility down in Verona on Friday and they had
(15:41):
a lot of experiences. I think there was some sort
of exam some of them took. We had a brought fry.
So it's always really fun because those The FFA is
an organization that that sort of embraces all aspect of
agricultural businesses. And so some of these kids are farm
(16:04):
not all it's not all farmers. Some of these kids
are farm kids. It's nursery production, it's a lot of things,
but they are dedicated to sort of honing skills, teaching
strategies for coming up with new ideas. It's just a
great organization and it's so fun to see young people
excited about the green industry, no matter what direction they're
(16:26):
going to go in with.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
And for folks that want to see some photos great stuff, there's.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Some photos up there. Yeah, yeah, it was. I didn't
I didn't go, but I understand it was. It was
quite the thing.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
It is as you mentioned too, it's good to see
and it it makes you happy and hopeful for the
future when you see young people doing some pretty amazing stuff. Absolutely,
it's a great day. Get on in the middle of
