Speaker 3 (00:33):
You this time of year? I'm there all the time.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Well, it's great to see you this morning. And we've
got some fun stuff going on with the Bruce Company.
We'll get to and of course phone call so people.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Yes, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Let's get the numbers real quick. I'll get those out
to you at six poo eight three to two one
thirteen ten. That's six ooight three two one thirteen ten.
If you've got a question for Lisa, love to have
you join us. All right, let's get to this and
this is okay, we're sitting down, Lisa.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
It was we were in such a good place last week,
yes and now. And I know that a bunch of
you planted stuff last week because I did. And then
last night when I got home from work, I was
putting out row covers, covering up the tomatoes with upside
down pots. Before we left the store last night we
were hauling stuff inside. So at my house got it
(01:24):
was probably got to about forty one, forty two at
its coldest, but they were predicting thirty nine, I think so.
I think in town it probably didn't get that gold.
A lot of the tender stuff that you may or
may not have put out, so tomatoes, basil, eggplant for annuals, colius, impatient.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Sweet potato.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
But and those are the big six that we really
when we look through the combo pots, anything that has
those inside in the pot we paul in.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
So just.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Tomato, those kinds of plants do not thrive or actively
grow if the temperatures are below fifty.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Okay, And they can be sort of.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Not damaged but affected when the temperatures are below forty
four to forty five.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
If it's below forty, that's a real problem for them.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
That's like when we had pansies earlier in the season
and we said, oh, yeah, they're fine till it's freezing.
With these plants, that number is forty. It's not freezing.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
To a tomato. Forty is freezing. So just to have
a plan. And I'm looking at this over the next
couple of nights.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
And we've got forty four, we've got forty one, forty two,
So there's going to need to be moving things around,
bringing things up close to the house and gathering them
together and putting a sheet on for them. If you've
got floating row covers, because you've already planted stuff in
your gardens, you can do that. Roll covers are better
(03:08):
out in the open than sheets because they don't if
we have a do a heavy doo, which we often
do at this time of year, the blankets and sheets
absorb that water and and can weigh down tender seedlings.
Bring if you've got things in containers, bring them into
the house, bring them into the garage.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
That kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Just and we're all like talking just that you.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Know, you get it's a couple few hours, right, that
it's that it's dangerous. Yeah, when we in the earlier spring,
when we have these kinds of things and we have
a wind, that's usually good because that keeps the frost
from settling. At this time of year, it makes it colder.
(03:53):
So it's not this time of the year. I'm not
happy to see, you know, low of forty two and
easy tonight.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
So you had mentioned and you mentioned the floating roll covers.
And one of the things I hope people do is
pay attention to the wise words of Lisa, because I
recall last week when we were talking about how warm
it was and how great the forecast was, you also put.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
You you did mention.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Though, as we were all skiffing and happy and it's
going to be perfect, you said, be ready because because
this stuff.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
So yeah, last frost, the frost free date.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Average for our area is from the tenth to the
fifteenth of March in May.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
That's already passed.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
That was last week, sure, so but then look what
happened then Saturday Sunday night, we're hauling stuff inside at
the garden center. So just you just have to have
a plan or if things are damaged then you have
to replace them.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Let's talk about replacements because I know the seats at
the first company, you got some some sales going on.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Yes see, it's we're winding down on so all of our.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Garden seeds except for botanic interests, okay, are thirty percent off,
which so excuse me, I'm a horse this morning. There
are some things that you can still be planting now
for sure, especially with the temperatures being cooler. A lot
of these things, especially any veg that has a short
(05:25):
germination to majority rate, you can plant again.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
In the fall.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
So we're talking about you know, snappeas lettuce, young radish
as small carrots, that kind of thing. So you can
also keep the seed and use.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
It for fall sowing. Okay, that you would start that
kind of thing in August.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
So with this and as we talk about, you know,
getting seeds and planting, and of course with the forecast
those type of things. One of those area I know
we've talked in the past few years about more people
getting involved in gardening, whether it's veg or just trying
to have that most beautiful yard out there. One of
the cool things I think with the Bruce Company is is,
(06:06):
you know, we get a chance to talk each and
every week here on the show, but also the stuff
goes on at the Garden Center daily. Many times day
people say I've got this area, or I've got this
desire I want to start growing tomatoes, for example, having
people that can help you if you're new to this
or even if you've been doing it for a few years,
that can give you some tips or help you find
(06:26):
that very special Ney thing. Some of the cool things
about getting into the Bruce Company is having that opportunity
to meet with somebody that can kind of help work
with you and find that perfect thing and let you again,
whether you're new and just want more information or even
doing it for a while, want something new. You guys
have it at the Bruce Company.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Yeah, and some of us have been around a long time,
so we've seen a lot of change in how people garden,
but we also have a lot of that old school
stuff still in our heads. I had a conversation with
a lady yesterday about pruning her roses, and she had
some questions about how she pruned and what was produced
(07:04):
last year by her.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Pruning methods, and she had never.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
You know, when you look at the when you look
at something and says, oh, yeah, prune back to a
five leaf branch.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
She didn't know what that meant, and she didn't.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Realize that the direction of that, that's the way the
bud went. Oh so she had some things that went
straight up and we were talking about and it's not
something that people often think about, but it's old school
enough that it's sometimes it's nice to have somebody sort
of explain why, Yeah, you see these little these you
know this advice, or you see these rules, why is
(07:39):
that what happens if you break those rules?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Outdoor living experts at the person.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
And there are a bunch of them at the Yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
They're specialized also absolutely, And speak of specialized, we're going
to talk about some of the other we talked about seeds,
talk about fire tables. We'll also talk about some other
really cool things going on at the Bruce Company. If
you've got a question, though, we've got some answers. Love
to hear from you. This SMT one six eight three
two one thirteen ten. That's six so eight three two
one thirteen ten. Head on down to Cottage Grover, over
(08:06):
to Cottage Grove depending on your direction, and Howard joins
us this morning.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Howard, Welcome to the program. You're on the air with
Lisa brigs from the Bruce Company.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Hey, thank you very much for taking my call. I
got a question. I was driving around and I can't
remember if it was Target's parking lot or minards or where,
but I see this tree. It's got a trunk of
about four inches, maybe three or four, and all the
branches looking directly at the tree, grow up at about
a thirty to forty five degree angle. They go they
(08:36):
don't go out, they go up and they're white and
it almost looks like they're feathers. It's just really a
neat looking tree. And trying to find the name of
one if I can get one, mm.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Interesting.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
It's very strang I've never seen anything like it before.
They're all white and like I said, all the branches
they just grow up at about a thirty to forty
five degree angling.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Are we talking about white with flowers?
Speaker 5 (09:05):
No, this, this whole thing, the whole branch is all white.
There's not like it's not like an apple tree flower
or something like that. It's just like plumes coming out.
I don't know how to describe it, but it's like
the whole thing that's covered with white, the whole you know,
next time.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
You see them, snap a photo with your phone.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
Would have done that. Yeah, yeah, but it was one
of the one of the big box stories. So all right,
I'll do that.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Thanks for the call. It's yeah, very it sounds like
a very intriguing Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
I mean the thing that is blooming right now that
is very plumy because it's sort of arching. It's not
a tree though, it's a it's a large spyria called
bridal wreath b Yeah, and I noticed so you could
see them. They might be eight or ten feet tall
(10:01):
is about their height range, and they're they're arching, so
the branches come up from the ground and then arch
over and they are covered right now with white flowers.
You don't see any leaves at all, little cluster, small
clusters of tiny white flowers.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
And this year they look glorious. And it was like.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Drove to work on Saturday, didn't see any drove to
work on Sunday, they were in full blood.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Just something hit him perfectly that whatever the temperature, if.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
He was looking for, if it's just a large bush
and not an actual tree, then it's.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
It's s p I r e a.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Spyria Spyria van Hoodie is.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
To say it's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Was it somehow just discovered by somebody at Indiana State?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Is that what the no?
Speaker 4 (10:53):
I think it's probably found by a plant explorer and
his last name was van.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Hoot That's what happened.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
That's a good need.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
We like to put the little you know, the ooty.
I kind of just makes it more fun. Botanic language
loves a.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Double ee yes yes. This morning with Lisa Briggs for
the Bruce Company. If you've got a question, We've.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Got a line for you six eight three thirteen ten
at six eight three two one thirteen ten and Kevin
from Windsor joins us this morning. Kevin Well for the
program you're on the aar Lisa breaks from the Bruce Company.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Oh, I was gonna I was gonna actually bring this
up with you, Sean, this very thing.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
So thank you Kevin for the nice segue. Go ahead
and ask your question.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
So maybe I don't even need to ask, No, you do. So,
I've leaf pearl on a peach tree.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
Yeah, and I'm wondering about a treatment for it.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
Okay, curled up pretty bad?
Speaker 5 (11:50):
And is there hope for it yet.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Sure, Okay, so we've seen a ton of peach. I
had two samples yesterday of peach leaf.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
So peach leaf curl.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
You have a peach tree and it flowers out and
it's beautiful and it leaves out, and then some of
the leaves just start to like contort and thicken and bubble.
It's very weird. Sometimes the bubbley part turns kind of pink.
It is not a fatal disease by any stretch of
(12:23):
the imagination, unless you have it for years and years
and don't do anything about it. The problem is is
now is way past the time to deal with it.
So what you need to do is do a uh,
spray it with a fungicide. You can use copper, a
copper based fungicide or one called dacanil. But you spray
(12:46):
it in the fall after the leaves drop, and you
spray it again in the spring as the buds start
to expand, not before the you know, before the leaves
come out.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
You don't want it.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
If once it's flowered, it's too late. It's already there.
Because what the fungus does is it lives on the
twigs and then as the tree forms new buds for
next year. That's where the fungus sort of migrates and
gets stuck in those buds, ready to infect as those
leaves unfurl next year. For this year, though, do whatever
(13:23):
you can to keep it vigorous. So if it gets dry,
make sure it gets a good water every.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Week or so.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
If it's not mulched, you could mulch it. That will
help keep the soil moisture more even. And if it's
got a lot of fruit, thinning the fruit a little
bit would not be a terrible idea, okay, And then next.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Year it might actually still produce something.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Yeah, it might, yes, Because there are funguses that want
the leaves to to you know, to die and fall
off the tree, like apple scab. But then there are
other fungus and peach leaf curl is one of them.
Alsoust funguses that need a living host, so it's not
in their interest of development for the.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Leaves to like completely die.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
The other thing I would do is a really good
breakup in this you know, this fall. Get all those
leaves out of there and get rid of them.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Okay, Kevin, great question. Great, Well what it looks like
I did it.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
It's weird. It's not the weirdest thing that nature produces, but.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Weird something like that because I just get this paint bubbling.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Yeah it's good.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Yeah, yeah, it's like you like you've seen this before,
you know exactly.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
I saw good pink one this weekend.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
It doesn't always do that, but sometimes like some of
those patches will get will change color.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
It's really are we seeing a lot of this right now?
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Is that is that it's become I think it's become
more prevalent over the last couple of the last couple
of years.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
But it just it all depends on weather conditions.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Okay, last year we had a very warm and wet spring,
and so there was a lot of it last year.
So even if your peach tree wasn't infected, maybe some
maybe there was one nearby.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
And because fungal spores you know, float on the winds.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Yeah, the only peach trees can other trees get the
it's it's.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Only a peach tree thing, like, it doesn't affect other
members of the pruna's family, so not cherries, not plums.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
It's a peach tree thing that is fast.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
That fast, that is that is I like that. I
learned a lot of stuff every week hanging out with
a Lisa. That's so great. We've got some cool stuff.
Speaking of hanging out with Lisa, we're going to talk
about some specials going on at the Bruce Company. Very
timely stuff going on at the Bruce Company. We'll talk
with Lisa about that and so much more. I'll scot time.
If you've got a question, love to get your call.
Six eight three two one thirteen ten. That's six oh
(15:47):
eight three two one thirteen ten. We'll continue our conversation
with Lisa breaks from the Bruce Company. We'll do that
next as every Day Outdoor Living continues right here on
thirteen ten WIBI eight twenty seven and every Day Outdoor
Living brought to you by the Bruce Company right here
on thirteen ten wiv A.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
What a great day to get on in.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
They'd love to see her smile and face right at
the Middleton Garden Center of the Bruce Company to day
thirty parm Renter Street. That's twenty eight thirty Partment Street.
Of course, their website to Bruce Company dot com, that's
all one word. Bruce Company dot Com. Talked about the
seed sale. We'll talk about also fire tables What a
great time yere to be looking at one of.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Those I know phone nurs days coming up link link.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Also some savings on BioAdvance. We'll get the details from
Lisa on that in just a moment, but first we'll
go to the phone six oh eight three two one
thirteen ten. That's six oh eight three two one thirteen ten,
and Kathy joins us from Stowton. Kathy, welcome to the
program here on there with Lisa Briggs from the Bruce Company.
Speaker 7 (16:40):
Good morning. I'm calling to see if my wise old
grandpa was writer or not about a tomato plant. Okay,
he always said that where the new branch meets the
main branch. Huh, if there's a little little thing that
comes up, you just snap that off with your fingernail.
(17:03):
Otherwise it will be like a dead branch. It won't
do anything. Was he right? Or do I leave those
and do some of them produce tomatoes?
Speaker 3 (17:14):
You know, I don't.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
I've never heard that. Yeah, So oftentimes you'll you'll see it.
It's super apparent if you're buying it an annual flower
like spir or like salvia, or you see it on
basil where in the where the leaf meets the main
stem of the plant, that there's a little bud in there.
(17:38):
Sometimes you can see them, sometimes you don't. Sometimes they
develop whether you pinch back or not. Sometimes they kind
of hang out there until you do pinch, and then they'll.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Pop and grow.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
I can't speak for tomatoes, but I will say in
something like basil, which does the same kind of thing,
or salvia, which you can really see it, those still
produce flowers and then hence that would be fruit. So
I don't know, I've never heard that. I'm going to
investigate it later, but I don't know if that's true
(18:11):
or not.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
And it might be. Where it came from is that
if your grandpa.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Grew like big tomatoes and he wanted those tomatoes to
get as big as possible, that he might have removed
those side shoots so that energy went to the fruit
he wanted. Where like cherry tomatoes, it doesn't matter because
they're small and you're picking them all the time. But
if you're doing like big slicers because you're going to
(18:37):
make sauce, then you want all the fruit to happen
at one time, and you also want them to be.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
As big as possible.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
So maybe it was more of a thing, you know,
because he wanted a certain result as.
Speaker 7 (18:52):
Opposed to I think you answered my question because I'm
growing the cherry one and I want.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Justly exactly exactly.
Speaker 7 (19:03):
Oh, thank you. Maybe you saved me a whole bunch
of delicious little tomatoes.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Excellent, you got too many? You can always swing by here.
I know a guy that'll lead.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Them for you.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
I'm definitely gonna ask.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Gail about this though, because she comes from a farming family,
so if that's a thing she would maybe know about that, I.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Have the answer that is fascinating. Let's see, we've got
Mike in Middleton joining us. Mike, welcome to the program.
You're on there at least the Briggs from the Prouse Company.
Speaker 6 (19:32):
Well for taking my call. I'm I'm over the years,
I have grown with very degrees of success, snappys, and
this year the germination has been really not good. I'm
wondering if you would suggest using inoculants for that to
help them germinate. Is that something that you've heard had
(19:55):
good success with?
Speaker 4 (19:56):
So inoculant is a bacteria that helps the pea plant
fix nitrogen in the soil.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Peas will grow fine.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Without it, So it's not needed to help them germinate.
What it does is helps fix the nitrogen in the soil,
which is good for it, which which will help with production.
But it doesn't have anything to do with inoculate with germination.
Speaker 6 (20:23):
Oh perfect, Okay, so I appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Okay, no proud question.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
This morning's very like, you know, sort of science based
why are things happening kind of questions, not just what
but why.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
I like the wise they are, they are fun and
the other cool thing too.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
For folks that don't know this obviously, if you have
a question, you can always stop into the Bruce Company
or you can email plant desk at Bruce Company dot
com anytime.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
And I know you guys. You guys triage those and
get back to folks as soon as possible.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
So yeah, it's a really cool feature you guys do
at the Bruce Company. What a great day to get
on into the Middleton Garden Center to the Bruce Company
twenty at thirty or Street.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
That's twenty eight thirty param inistret.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Now.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
I know Father's Day is coming up and probably unrelated
to these, but every dad loves a fire table, good one.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Yes, every dad loves the fire table. We've got some
interesting things coming up for dads, so yes, stay tuned.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Well, no, I'll about some of them now. So yeah,
so fire tables.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
There's a fire table deal with one of our vendors,
and so stop in and talk to talk to the
furniture associates. We're also going to be for the weekend
discounting the solo stoves, so that's a great thing for
dad's or also just for a Memorial Day. And then
(21:41):
starting today, we've got some Weber griddles twenty eight inches
and we are going to give you one hundred and
fifty dollars Garden Center gift card with a purchase of
a with a with a Weber standalone griddle. Oh and
that's going to go while supplies.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Last griddles have become huge.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
The past griddles are fun.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Also on Saturdays, our Weber rep is going to be
in town with a griddle doing a demo from eleven
to two. So there might be smash burgers because the
last time he did a griddled demo there were smash burgers.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Also there was some well no, because he had that
the last time he had a griddle and he.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
Had the the pellet. Oh yeah, yeah, and so he
was smoking mac and cheese on the pellet grill, making
smashburgers on the griddle.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Grab yourself a burger, grab yourself some yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
So you can use that.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
You can use the gift card to to buy a
cover for your griddle, or to buy accessories or where.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Spend it on some hanging baskets, whatever you'd like.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Oh, fantast it to somebody, as it would be a
great present.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Fantastic gift, speaking of dad.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Yes, yes, Bioadvanced specials as well.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Yeah, so May is the month that you want to
put down bio Advanced. I'm going to year round tree shrub,
protect and feed. So what it does, it's got a
little bit of a fertilizer and but what's more important
is that it has an insecticide that is really effective
(23:23):
against boring insects okay and also other leaf eating insects.
A systemic insecticide gets inside the tissue of your plant,
and as the insects feed on it, whether they're boring
into the sapwood or whether they're mowing down on the leaves,
(23:43):
it will it will kill them because it messes with
their digestive system. And so the BioAdvance was first brought
out as bear advance back when EA b Emerald ash
boor was a really big deal.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
It's less so now because.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
So many ash treets are gone. They were a very
selective predator. But it does protect a lot against a
lot of other things, including Japanese beetles. So and for
Japanese it's still time for it to work for Japanese
beetles because it takes about three or four weeks for
it to get into the plant's system effectively, and Japanese
(24:20):
beetles are going to hit usually around the end of June.
So if you had a beetle problem, besides treating your
lawn with a grub aside, this is a really good
way to protect your plants.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
You've got some savings going on, and.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
You've got some savings going on.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
So yeah, so we've got all the sizes, So stop
in and pick that up, save some money and save
save your roses. You're yeah, you don't want to use
this on plants that you're going to consume, okay, so
don't pour it around your bean plants.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
We can give you other strategies for that kind of thing.
For edibles. When the beetles are around. We'll talk about
that then.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Great dat to have that conversation. Get on in egg
whether you're looking. Of course, thank you for dead think

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Well, it's great to see you this morning. And we've
got some fun stuff going on with the Bruce Company.
We'll get to and of course phone call so people.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Yes, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Let's get the numbers real quick. I'll get those out
to you at six poo eight three to two one
thirteen ten. That's six ooight three two one thirteen ten.
If you've got a question for Lisa, love to have
you join us. All right, let's get to this and
this is okay, we're sitting down, Lisa.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
It was we were in such a good place last week,
yes and now. And I know that a bunch of
you planted stuff last week because I did. And then
last night when I got home from work, I was
putting out row covers, covering up the tomatoes with upside
down pots. Before we left the store last night we
were hauling stuff inside. So at my house got it
(01:24):
was probably got to about forty one, forty two at
its coldest, but they were predicting thirty nine, I think so.
I think in town it probably didn't get that gold.
A lot of the tender stuff that you may or
may not have put out, so tomatoes, basil, eggplant for annuals, colius, impatient.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Sweet potato.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
But and those are the big six that we really
when we look through the combo pots, anything that has
those inside in the pot we paul in.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
So just.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Tomato, those kinds of plants do not thrive or actively
grow if the temperatures are below fifty.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Okay, And they can be sort of.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Not damaged but affected when the temperatures are below forty
four to forty five.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
If it's below forty, that's a real problem for them.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
That's like when we had pansies earlier in the season
and we said, oh, yeah, they're fine till it's freezing.
With these plants, that number is forty. It's not freezing.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
To a tomato. Forty is freezing. So just to have
a plan. And I'm looking at this over the next
couple of nights.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
And we've got forty four, we've got forty one, forty two,
So there's going to need to be moving things around,
bringing things up close to the house and gathering them
together and putting a sheet on for them. If you've
got floating row covers, because you've already planted stuff in
your gardens, you can do that. Roll covers are better
(03:08):
out in the open than sheets because they don't if
we have a do a heavy doo, which we often
do at this time of year, the blankets and sheets
absorb that water and and can weigh down tender seedlings.
Bring if you've got things in containers, bring them into
the house, bring them into the garage.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
That kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Just and we're all like talking just that you.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Know, you get it's a couple few hours, right, that
it's that it's dangerous. Yeah, when we in the earlier spring,
when we have these kinds of things and we have
a wind, that's usually good because that keeps the frost
from settling. At this time of year, it makes it colder.
(03:53):
So it's not this time of the year. I'm not
happy to see, you know, low of forty two and
easy tonight.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
So you had mentioned and you mentioned the floating roll covers.
And one of the things I hope people do is
pay attention to the wise words of Lisa, because I
recall last week when we were talking about how warm
it was and how great the forecast was, you also put.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
You you did mention.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Though, as we were all skiffing and happy and it's
going to be perfect, you said, be ready because because
this stuff.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
So yeah, last frost, the frost free date.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Average for our area is from the tenth to the
fifteenth of March in May.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
That's already passed.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
That was last week, sure, so but then look what
happened then Saturday Sunday night, we're hauling stuff inside at
the garden center. So just you just have to have
a plan or if things are damaged then you have
to replace them.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Let's talk about replacements because I know the seats at
the first company, you got some some sales going on.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Yes see, it's we're winding down on so all of our.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Garden seeds except for botanic interests, okay, are thirty percent off,
which so excuse me, I'm a horse this morning. There
are some things that you can still be planting now
for sure, especially with the temperatures being cooler. A lot
of these things, especially any veg that has a short
(05:25):
germination to majority rate, you can plant again.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
In the fall.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
So we're talking about you know, snappeas lettuce, young radish
as small carrots, that kind of thing. So you can
also keep the seed and use.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
It for fall sowing. Okay, that you would start that
kind of thing in August.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
So with this and as we talk about, you know,
getting seeds and planting, and of course with the forecast
those type of things. One of those area I know
we've talked in the past few years about more people
getting involved in gardening, whether it's veg or just trying
to have that most beautiful yard out there. One of
the cool things I think with the Bruce Company is is,
(06:06):
you know, we get a chance to talk each and
every week here on the show, but also the stuff
goes on at the Garden Center daily. Many times day
people say I've got this area, or I've got this
desire I want to start growing tomatoes, for example, having
people that can help you if you're new to this
or even if you've been doing it for a few years,
that can give you some tips or help you find
(06:26):
that very special Ney thing. Some of the cool things
about getting into the Bruce Company is having that opportunity
to meet with somebody that can kind of help work
with you and find that perfect thing and let you again,
whether you're new and just want more information or even
doing it for a while, want something new. You guys
have it at the Bruce Company.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Yeah, and some of us have been around a long time,
so we've seen a lot of change in how people garden,
but we also have a lot of that old school
stuff still in our heads. I had a conversation with
a lady yesterday about pruning her roses, and she had
some questions about how she pruned and what was produced
(07:04):
last year by her.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Pruning methods, and she had never.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
You know, when you look at the when you look
at something and says, oh, yeah, prune back to a
five leaf branch.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
She didn't know what that meant, and she didn't.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Realize that the direction of that, that's the way the
bud went. Oh so she had some things that went
straight up and we were talking about and it's not
something that people often think about, but it's old school
enough that it's sometimes it's nice to have somebody sort
of explain why, Yeah, you see these little these you
know this advice, or you see these rules, why is
(07:39):
that what happens if you break those rules?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Outdoor living experts at the person.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
And there are a bunch of them at the Yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
They're specialized also absolutely, And speak of specialized, we're going
to talk about some of the other we talked about seeds,
talk about fire tables. We'll also talk about some other
really cool things going on at the Bruce Company. If
you've got a question, though, we've got some answers. Love
to hear from you. This SMT one six eight three
two one thirteen ten. That's six so eight three two
one thirteen ten. Head on down to Cottage Grover, over
(08:06):
to Cottage Grove depending on your direction, and Howard joins
us this morning.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Howard, Welcome to the program. You're on the air with
Lisa brigs from the Bruce Company.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Hey, thank you very much for taking my call. I
got a question. I was driving around and I can't
remember if it was Target's parking lot or minards or where,
but I see this tree. It's got a trunk of
about four inches, maybe three or four, and all the
branches looking directly at the tree, grow up at about
a thirty to forty five degree angle. They go they
(08:36):
don't go out, they go up and they're white and
it almost looks like they're feathers. It's just really a
neat looking tree. And trying to find the name of
one if I can get one, mm.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Interesting.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
It's very strang I've never seen anything like it before.
They're all white and like I said, all the branches
they just grow up at about a thirty to forty
five degree angling.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Are we talking about white with flowers?
Speaker 5 (09:05):
No, this, this whole thing, the whole branch is all white.
There's not like it's not like an apple tree flower
or something like that. It's just like plumes coming out.
I don't know how to describe it, but it's like
the whole thing that's covered with white, the whole you know,
next time.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
You see them, snap a photo with your phone.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
Would have done that. Yeah, yeah, but it was one
of the one of the big box stories. So all right,
I'll do that.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Thanks for the call. It's yeah, very it sounds like
a very intriguing Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
I mean the thing that is blooming right now that
is very plumy because it's sort of arching. It's not
a tree though, it's a it's a large spyria called
bridal wreath b Yeah, and I noticed so you could
see them. They might be eight or ten feet tall
(10:01):
is about their height range, and they're they're arching, so
the branches come up from the ground and then arch
over and they are covered right now with white flowers.
You don't see any leaves at all, little cluster, small
clusters of tiny white flowers.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
And this year they look glorious. And it was like.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Drove to work on Saturday, didn't see any drove to
work on Sunday, they were in full blood.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Just something hit him perfectly that whatever the temperature, if.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
He was looking for, if it's just a large bush
and not an actual tree, then it's.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
It's s p I r e a.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Spyria Spyria van Hoodie is.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
To say it's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Was it somehow just discovered by somebody at Indiana State?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Is that what the no?
Speaker 4 (10:53):
I think it's probably found by a plant explorer and
his last name was van.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Hoot That's what happened.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
That's a good need.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
We like to put the little you know, the ooty.
I kind of just makes it more fun. Botanic language
loves a.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Double ee yes yes. This morning with Lisa Briggs for
the Bruce Company. If you've got a question, We've.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Got a line for you six eight three thirteen ten
at six eight three two one thirteen ten and Kevin
from Windsor joins us this morning. Kevin Well for the
program you're on the aar Lisa breaks from the Bruce Company.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Oh, I was gonna I was gonna actually bring this
up with you, Sean, this very thing.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
So thank you Kevin for the nice segue. Go ahead
and ask your question.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
So maybe I don't even need to ask, No, you do. So,
I've leaf pearl on a peach tree.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
Yeah, and I'm wondering about a treatment for it.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
Okay, curled up pretty bad?
Speaker 5 (11:50):
And is there hope for it yet.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Sure, Okay, so we've seen a ton of peach. I
had two samples yesterday of peach leaf.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
So peach leaf curl.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
You have a peach tree and it flowers out and
it's beautiful and it leaves out, and then some of
the leaves just start to like contort and thicken and bubble.
It's very weird. Sometimes the bubbley part turns kind of pink.
It is not a fatal disease by any stretch of
(12:23):
the imagination, unless you have it for years and years
and don't do anything about it. The problem is is
now is way past the time to deal with it.
So what you need to do is do a uh,
spray it with a fungicide. You can use copper, a
copper based fungicide or one called dacanil. But you spray
(12:46):
it in the fall after the leaves drop, and you
spray it again in the spring as the buds start
to expand, not before the you know, before the leaves
come out.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
You don't want it.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
If once it's flowered, it's too late. It's already there.
Because what the fungus does is it lives on the
twigs and then as the tree forms new buds for
next year. That's where the fungus sort of migrates and
gets stuck in those buds, ready to infect as those
leaves unfurl next year. For this year, though, do whatever
(13:23):
you can to keep it vigorous. So if it gets dry,
make sure it gets a good water every.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Week or so.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
If it's not mulched, you could mulch it. That will
help keep the soil moisture more even. And if it's
got a lot of fruit, thinning the fruit a little
bit would not be a terrible idea, okay, And then next.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Year it might actually still produce something.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Yeah, it might, yes, Because there are funguses that want
the leaves to to you know, to die and fall
off the tree, like apple scab. But then there are
other fungus and peach leaf curl is one of them.
Alsoust funguses that need a living host, so it's not
in their interest of development for the.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Leaves to like completely die.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
The other thing I would do is a really good
breakup in this you know, this fall. Get all those
leaves out of there and get rid of them.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Okay, Kevin, great question. Great, Well what it looks like
I did it.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
It's weird. It's not the weirdest thing that nature produces, but.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Weird something like that because I just get this paint bubbling.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Yeah it's good.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Yeah, yeah, it's like you like you've seen this before,
you know exactly.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
I saw good pink one this weekend.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
It doesn't always do that, but sometimes like some of
those patches will get will change color.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
It's really are we seeing a lot of this right now?
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Is that is that it's become I think it's become
more prevalent over the last couple of the last couple
of years.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
But it just it all depends on weather conditions.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Okay, last year we had a very warm and wet spring,
and so there was a lot of it last year.
So even if your peach tree wasn't infected, maybe some
maybe there was one nearby.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
And because fungal spores you know, float on the winds.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Yeah, the only peach trees can other trees get the
it's it's.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Only a peach tree thing, like, it doesn't affect other
members of the pruna's family, so not cherries, not plums.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
It's a peach tree thing that is fast.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
That fast, that is that is I like that. I
learned a lot of stuff every week hanging out with
a Lisa. That's so great. We've got some cool stuff.
Speaking of hanging out with Lisa, we're going to talk
about some specials going on at the Bruce Company. Very
timely stuff going on at the Bruce Company. We'll talk
with Lisa about that and so much more. I'll scot time.
If you've got a question, love to get your call.
Six eight three two one thirteen ten. That's six oh
(15:47):
eight three two one thirteen ten. We'll continue our conversation
with Lisa breaks from the Bruce Company. We'll do that
next as every Day Outdoor Living continues right here on

Those I know phone nurs days coming up link link.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Also some savings on BioAdvance. We'll get the details from
Lisa on that in just a moment, but first we'll
go to the phone six oh eight three two one
thirteen ten. That's six oh eight three two one thirteen ten,
and Kathy joins us from Stowton. Kathy, welcome to the
program here on there with Lisa Briggs from the Bruce Company.
Speaker 7 (16:40):
Good morning. I'm calling to see if my wise old
grandpa was writer or not about a tomato plant. Okay,
he always said that where the new branch meets the
main branch. Huh, if there's a little little thing that
comes up, you just snap that off with your fingernail.
(17:03):
Otherwise it will be like a dead branch. It won't
do anything. Was he right? Or do I leave those
and do some of them produce tomatoes?
Speaker 3 (17:14):
You know, I don't.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
I've never heard that. Yeah, So oftentimes you'll you'll see it.
It's super apparent if you're buying it an annual flower
like spir or like salvia, or you see it on
basil where in the where the leaf meets the main
stem of the plant, that there's a little bud in there.
(17:38):
Sometimes you can see them, sometimes you don't. Sometimes they
develop whether you pinch back or not. Sometimes they kind
of hang out there until you do pinch, and then they'll.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Pop and grow.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
I can't speak for tomatoes, but I will say in
something like basil, which does the same kind of thing,
or salvia, which you can really see it, those still
produce flowers and then hence that would be fruit. So
I don't know, I've never heard that. I'm going to
investigate it later, but I don't know if that's true
(18:11):
or not.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
And it might be. Where it came from is that
if your grandpa.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Grew like big tomatoes and he wanted those tomatoes to
get as big as possible, that he might have removed
those side shoots so that energy went to the fruit
he wanted. Where like cherry tomatoes, it doesn't matter because
they're small and you're picking them all the time. But
if you're doing like big slicers because you're going to
(18:37):
make sauce, then you want all the fruit to happen
at one time, and you also want them to be.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
As big as possible.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
So maybe it was more of a thing, you know,
because he wanted a certain result as.
Speaker 7 (18:52):
Opposed to I think you answered my question because I'm
growing the cherry one and I want.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Justly exactly exactly.
Speaker 7 (19:03):
Oh, thank you. Maybe you saved me a whole bunch
of delicious little tomatoes.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Excellent, you got too many? You can always swing by here.
I know a guy that'll lead.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Them for you.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
I'm definitely gonna ask.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Gail about this though, because she comes from a farming family,
so if that's a thing she would maybe know about that, I.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Have the answer that is fascinating. Let's see, we've got
Mike in Middleton joining us. Mike, welcome to the program.
You're on there at least the Briggs from the Prouse Company.
Speaker 6 (19:32):
Well for taking my call. I'm I'm over the years,
I have grown with very degrees of success, snappys, and
this year the germination has been really not good. I'm
wondering if you would suggest using inoculants for that to
help them germinate. Is that something that you've heard had
(19:55):
good success with?
Speaker 4 (19:56):
So inoculant is a bacteria that helps the pea plant
fix nitrogen in the soil.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Peas will grow fine.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Without it, So it's not needed to help them germinate.
What it does is helps fix the nitrogen in the soil,
which is good for it, which which will help with production.
But it doesn't have anything to do with inoculate with germination.
Speaker 6 (20:23):
Oh perfect, Okay, so I appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Okay, no proud question.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
This morning's very like, you know, sort of science based
why are things happening kind of questions, not just what
but why.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
I like the wise they are, they are fun and
the other cool thing too.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
For folks that don't know this obviously, if you have
a question, you can always stop into the Bruce Company
or you can email plant desk at Bruce Company dot
com anytime.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
And I know you guys. You guys triage those and
get back to folks as soon as possible.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
So yeah, it's a really cool feature you guys do
at the Bruce Company. What a great day to get
on into the Middleton Garden Center to the Bruce Company
twenty at thirty or Street.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
That's twenty eight thirty param inistret.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Now.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
I know Father's Day is coming up and probably unrelated
to these, but every dad loves a fire table, good one.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Yes, every dad loves the fire table. We've got some
interesting things coming up for dads, so yes, stay tuned.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Well, no, I'll about some of them now. So yeah,
so fire tables.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
There's a fire table deal with one of our vendors,
and so stop in and talk to talk to the
furniture associates. We're also going to be for the weekend
discounting the solo stoves, so that's a great thing for
dad's or also just for a Memorial Day. And then
(21:41):
starting today, we've got some Weber griddles twenty eight inches
and we are going to give you one hundred and
fifty dollars Garden Center gift card with a purchase of
a with a with a Weber standalone griddle. Oh and
that's going to go while supplies.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Last griddles have become huge.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
The past griddles are fun.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Also on Saturdays, our Weber rep is going to be
in town with a griddle doing a demo from eleven
to two. So there might be smash burgers because the
last time he did a griddled demo there were smash burgers.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Also there was some well no, because he had that
the last time he had a griddle and he.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
Had the the pellet. Oh yeah, yeah, and so he
was smoking mac and cheese on the pellet grill, making
smashburgers on the griddle.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Grab yourself a burger, grab yourself some yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
So you can use that.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
You can use the gift card to to buy a
cover for your griddle, or to buy accessories or where.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Spend it on some hanging baskets, whatever you'd like.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Oh, fantast it to somebody, as it would be a
great present.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Fantastic gift, speaking of dad.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Yes, yes, Bioadvanced specials as well.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Yeah, so May is the month that you want to
put down bio Advanced. I'm going to year round tree shrub,
protect and feed. So what it does, it's got a
little bit of a fertilizer and but what's more important
is that it has an insecticide that is really effective
(23:23):
against boring insects okay and also other leaf eating insects.
A systemic insecticide gets inside the tissue of your plant,
and as the insects feed on it, whether they're boring
into the sapwood or whether they're mowing down on the leaves,
(23:43):
it will it will kill them because it messes with
their digestive system. And so the BioAdvance was first brought
out as bear advance back when EA b Emerald ash
boor was a really big deal.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
It's less so now because.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
So many ash treets are gone. They were a very
selective predator. But it does protect a lot against a
lot of other things, including Japanese beetles. So and for
Japanese it's still time for it to work for Japanese
beetles because it takes about three or four weeks for
it to get into the plant's system effectively, and Japanese
(24:20):
beetles are going to hit usually around the end of June.
So if you had a beetle problem, besides treating your
lawn with a grub aside, this is a really good
way to protect your plants.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
You've got some savings going on, and.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
You've got some savings going on.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
So yeah, so we've got all the sizes, So stop
in and pick that up, save some money and save
save your roses. You're yeah, you don't want to use
this on plants that you're going to consume, okay, so
don't pour it around your bean plants.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
We can give you other strategies for that kind of thing.
For edibles. When the beetles are around. We'll talk about
that then.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
