I'm good?
Speaker 3 (00:31):
How are you shocked?
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Doing really good? I wish I was recording the sounds
you made when I said, look at the forecast on Friday.
Good having glee there and there is some also a
level of U. I don't know what I would describe it,
A little shock, a little happiness.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Would you like a good thunderstorm?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Yeah, we've got We've got a ton of stuff to
talk about this week, all sorts of things going on
at the Bruce Company. Don't forget as well, phone lines
are all for you this morning at six eight three
two one thirteen ten. That's six eight three two one
thirteen ten. Love to get you on the air with
Lisa Breaks from the Bruce Company. You got a question
about anything outdoor related, Lisa is here for you. But
before we get to all of that stuff, let's talk
(01:12):
about this forecast.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
And yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I was wondering if that little you know, we were
in Spring of deception and then we had that little
you know, the snow and what Wednesday Thursday kind of thing. Yeah,
was that third winter or was that just a blip?
So are we in spring of deception or mud season?
Speaker 3 (01:33):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Went for a walk in the woods Saturday and we
are definitely in mud season.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Okay, well there you go.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Now, whether that holds or or you know what, it's
just going to go back to first winter and start
off starting because there's time.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yes, yeah, this is the speaking of time. This is
like the time of year where folks start to get.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Antsy, yes, edgy, yes, thanks ridden yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
One percent for so many reasons. It's such a fun,
exciting time of year. There's always also we'll get the
concern folks with my blankety blank popping up through the soil.
Should I worry? There's a little bit of everything right now.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
It doesn't seem to matter if you are sick of
winter now, or if you love winter, or if you
miss that we didn't really get like the snow and
the sort of the fun winter weather this year.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Everybody wants it to be spring.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah, And you know every year we go through this
at at the garden Center, and people want what they
want when they want it, and it's you know, I
just say, they're not commodities or widgets, they're living things.
And so we're in line behind a whole bunch of
other people who are south of us who are going
to get their plants before we do. And as you know,
(02:57):
as amazingly weird as this forecast looks, I don't know
that this is going to hold. And honestly, Friday is
four days away. It might change between now and then,
so you know, so we just want to remember to
be patient because it's Wisconsin. You know, they say, wait
twenty minutes in the weather will change, and just remember
(03:21):
that to everything, there is a season. So we were
expecting pansies last week, but they weren't ready. So we
are thinking, especially after the warm weather we've had and
all the sun over the weekend, we should see they
should be in color by now, and so we should
see our first shipment of pansies we did get last year,
(03:42):
some spring bulbs and some lenten roses that are in
and so those are things that you can plant outside.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
And you're just going to have to remember though that.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
It is only what March tenth, It is way early,
So make sure that if you're gonna if you're going
to have things outside, that you have a plan for
protecting them, because we're.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Going to get frost again. I mean, it would be
ridiculous if we did it.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
That would be bizarre.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Would that would be bizarre? If yeah, if our last
frost was like March first.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Or whatever that day that was, that would be Yeah,
that would be unique. And certainly, as we talk with
Lisa Breaks from the Bruce Company, don't forget if you
ever have questions, love to get you on the air.
Six eight three two one thirteen ten. That's six oh
eight three two one thirteen ten. Also a great day
to get on in to the Middleton Garden centered Bruce
Company twenty to thirty Parmenter Street. That's twenty at thirty
Partment Street. Learn more online Brucecompany dot Com. That's Brucecompany
(04:42):
dot Com. Now, we don't really have a lot of
control of when the last frost is. We don't have
control of what the forecast will be for the next
few days outdoors, But indoors, oh, we've got some pretty
good control over temperatures and other things.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
And I know the Bruce Company's got a wide variety
of seeds, and some of those seeds you can act
actually be putting in soil.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Yeah, once you get to March first, that opens up
a whole other range of things that you can start
from seed. You know, we've been cautioning you, like all
during February to sort of hold tight to things, and
you know, there were a few things that you could do,
starting some perennials or woody herbs, bulbing onions, that kind
(05:23):
of thing. But once we get to March, things sort
of bust open. So you can start any of the
cabbage family stuff, so brussels sprouts, cabbages, broccoli, all of
that kind of thing that can be started indoors because
that can go outside. Probably those seed links can go
(05:46):
outside with some protection in early April. They're pretty cold tolerant.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
You can also do.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
If you love those really hot peppers, you can go
ahead and start the now, but be prepared that you're
going to be uppotting those because they will not be
able to safely go outside for two months or a
month and a half, no, two and a half months,
not till the end of May. So make sure that
you just have a plan for that. And then of
course you can if you have summer blooming bulbs that
(06:21):
you had saved, like cannas or bogonias or dahlias. I
would get those started now in utility pots. Whether you're
going to plant them in containers outside or whether you're
going to plant them in ground. It's just you're going
to get a head start on those things if you do, glads,
I would wait and direct so those outside, and please
(06:41):
hold off on your tomatoes.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
It's not time yet.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
That's the hardest one. That's the hardest one.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
It's the hardest one. But I'll tell you when it's time.
It's not time yet.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
You mentioned things like broccoli and cauliflower and that type
of thing. Those are the type of things too. You
can generally do two plantings of later in the Yeah,
you can do well.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
If like like some of the quick like black broccoli
rob because that bears pretty early when you get to
that sewing in later in the later part of the summer,
you want to pay special attention to how long it
takes for things to mature. If you've got raised beds
(07:20):
and they're workable, there wouldn't be any reason why you
couldn't do a quick sow of spinach or some lettuce.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Just have a floating row cover on hand.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
So that if we get if we get some freezing
temps again, then you can go ahead and cover those
same with I mean it's early. What do they say
good Friday for peas. Wasn't that the old But Easter
is really late this year, so I think it's not
till mid or late April.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
So you're gonna have to pay attention to the radio.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Yeah, yeah, just listen. We'll tell you what to do.
I'm good at that. I will tell you what to do.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
If you've got a quest. I shouldn't eve you like Lisa,
I tell you what you can be doing right now.
Great time to give us call love to have you
join us. Six eight three two one thirteen ten. That's
six eight three two one thirteen ten. Gets you on
the air with Lisa Briggs from the Bruce Company Online.
Of course you can learn more Bruce Company dot com.
That's Bruce Company dot com. Great day to get on
into the Middleton Gardens side of the Bruce Company right
a twenty eight thirty Parmenter Street. That's twenty eight thirty
(08:21):
parment Street. A question from the Preble household. Yeah, so
many years ago, when Madson was a young man, he
planted a couple of raspberry bushes in his in his garden. Okay,
he loves the raspberries and they are they've been very
very good. As a matter of fact, they've been so
good that they've kind of gotten out of control. And
Madsen's dad me would like to transplant them to a
(08:43):
place outside of the yard, out the woods where the
deer can eat them or they can just do whatever.
When can I start thinking about doing that? And how
would I go about transport?
Speaker 2 (08:53):
So tell me when you get fruit, is it like
in July June July or is it later June July? Okay,
so those are summer bearing raspberries, and so those are
a little trickier. The cane comes up and doesn't fruit
(09:15):
until the second year. So do you mow these back
every year?
Speaker 3 (09:19):
No?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
No, okay, So what you're going to want to do
is the canes that came up last year. You're going
to want to leave those where they are, okay, because
those are going to fruit this year, and I'm afraid
if you transplant them they won't fruit, and then that's
sort of pointless because they after the second year they're done.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
So as those new.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Little shoots come up, Yeah, those are the ones you're
going to want to move. But you're also going to
want to keep some of those in the current bed
for Madsen because those are going to have fruit for
next year.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Okay, so take half or whatever of those the new
little ones coming up.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
How do they grow so wildly?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Well, they spread by runners and so that.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Yeah, it's if you're gonna have raspberries, it's best to
have like a bed of raspberries. Yeah, because they're just
gonna do what they're gonna do.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
I should have asked you years ago, although I wasn't.
In my mom and Madison when he was little put
these things in and now it's like they are slowly
taking over the razor.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
The everbearing ones are easier to cope with, and maybe
that's what. Maybe you want to move most of the
ones he has to the woods and redo his bed
with the everbearing type because those you just mow back
the whole bed at the end of the season or
in the early spring. Those canes come up and fruit
(10:39):
the same year. Okay, so those are a little bit
easier to deal with.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Also a lot of them the berries tend to be bigger.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
So oh but yeah, just so, maybe you want to
renovate his bed, move move the little seedlings up, take
the rest of them out, and then put in the
everbearers us have.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
When do those come in at the first is the question.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
I'm thinking back.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I want to say, like probably mid to late April, okay,
is when we start to get those sort of fruiting
like blueberries and raspberries and grapes and that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Yeah, I would love to do grapes. That seems like
such a fun thing. Like what are the Wisconsin there's
two two varieties.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Through right, what well the concords.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
The concord types do really well here, but to me,
they're harder to eat.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
You know they have that really thick skin.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
There are a couple of thinner skinned varieties that that
now that we're solidly zone five, shouldn't.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Be a problem.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Okay, all right, I.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Think there's a red one in a green one.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Talk a little bit about, talk a little bit.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
About when the time comes.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Yeah, And if you've got a question, you got something
in a spot in the yard you're saying, you know what,
I'm thinking about planting something there this spring. Got a
question about that anything? As a matter of fact, Liasa

They were supposed to come in. They're going to be
in every month.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yeah, the February one was canceled because we had that
that weird snowstorm and it was kind of dangerous to
drive around. The raffle that we're having on Saturday. I
think we're giving away an umbrella, a bistro set, some
other things those raffle tickets that will benefit.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Fetch Oh Perfect, which is if you don't know them.
Speaker 2 (16:32):

be fun and uh yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Three things I find very relaxing greenery, yeah, coffee, furniture,
and puppies. Yeah, you've got all three. All three. By
the way, one of the notes I saw with the
with the furniture Exam Furniture Outdoor Furniture Extravaganza was you
mentioned the raffle, you mentioned the refreshments, but also vendor demos.
(17:30):
And I'm thinking what exactly.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
I don't know. That's I don't know, because I.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Know how I need a demonstration for out They do
have all kinds of props, that's all I can.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Oh, yeah, you can sit on that. You could sit
on the furniture anytime.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
But they do, like like Castel, which is one of
our higher and sort of cast aluminum lines. Castell has
a process where they force all the air out of
the aluminum.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
So they all have they have cross.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Sections of you know, aluminum furniture and it's got all
kinds of whores, holes and pockets and pores and stuff
in there.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Yeah, and Castel's pretty solid. Wow, they'll so I'm sure
they're going to bring props.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
That's very I love that too.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Yeah, preps are fun.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
And that's going to be going on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
That's that's Saturday from eleven to two.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Oh my goodness. So you got to get in for that,
of course, that's at the Middleton Gards of the Verse Company,
twenty eight thirty parm Innis Street. That's twenty eight thirty
Parmenter Street. We talked about pansies, we talked about talked
about fetch, we talked about seeds, talk about summer.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Summer blooming bulbs are in. We got a big shipman
in last week, so we usually get one just before
Garden Expo, but we got the second shipment in, so
we've got a ton of really pretty dahlias. And Canna's
elephant ears came in. They were shorted for Expo, they
weren't ready yet.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
So yeah, so there's a lot going on this the
or moving thing.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
We've got just a couple little projects to finish up,
so you can come in and see how we've moved
some things around. You'd be surprised when you walk in
the front door it will not look the same way
that it looked last spring.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Oh neat' that should be very very cool to check
that out. I was to ask you to lisas I
don't know if you've got your app or if you've
checked recently, or if it's way too early on that. Obviously,
birds are going to start migrating back home.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Yeah, I saw that.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
I was just looking at the hummingbird arrival one and
I think that that's not till April.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Okay, and I haven't.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
I thought yesterday morning when I was driving into work,
I thought I saw red wing blackbird. Oh, Harvey was
driving me, and we were going over that bridge on
University and there was a blackbird and I could swear
I saw flash of red. And that seems to me
a little early for red wing blackbirds. Somebody, A couple
(20:02):
of people have reported they've seen robins, but I think
now there are probably pockets of robins that don't.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Migrate find a nice area like.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Yes, yeah, And I haven't heard any sand hill cranes yet.
Those are the early indicators.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Good time to be thinking about creating a welcoming environment
for yeah, and let's talk about.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Let's talk about that a little bit.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
So because because of bird flu, people are understandably reluctant
to feed our songbirds, and I did, Gail and I
both did a lot of looking with through the d
n R information on bird flu and talking to the manufacturers,
(20:49):
and so.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
I think that if you use.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Best practices, you keep your feeders clean and you use
good quality seed, and you're not near a waterway because
most of the transmission is through water foul Okay, and
you don't have of course, you don't live near a
poultry farm or you don't have backyard chickens, then you'd
want to be super careful. Songbirds are not as susceptible
(21:16):
to bird flu as other birds. The dn R right
now is not recommending that you don't feed birds. The
sensitive times are during migration because a lot of birds
are moving around. So, like I said, just be aware,
keep your feeders clean, make sure you're using good seed.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
By the way, you mentioned using good seed, it does
make a difference.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
I think, so, well, there's more there's less filler in it,
less millet and other kinds of things, and so it's
better for the birds for sure, because there's less junkie
seed in there and more high quality seed. It's like
it's like anything, get what you pay for, right, It's
the same for anything.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Do you want them to eat it and enjoyed and
remember that you have the good stuff or do you.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Want to And it's just better for them too if
there's more energy for them. I mean, we were we
we really worry about it during the winter because it's
so cold and it takes up so much energy for
our birds that winter over, I will keep at the
forecast again and I'm like, well, I don't know, can.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
You do a quick plug two for the app that
you told me about?
Speaker 2 (22:28):
It?
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Is that Merlin?
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Right Merlin?
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Oh my gosh. Yeah, that is the coolest app ever.
I use it thanks to you.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Yeah, Cornell Lab. Yeah, so yeah, it does. It has
a photo ID. And the best part though, is the.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Song I d and you can record the song.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
You can record it and save it. It's kind of fun.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
It's guess what, because I do this all the time.
Is I'll be like, guess what kind of bird I heard?
I'll go see my mom and she's she's into birds
and uh, and I'll tell her and she was like what,
and I'll be I'll play it back and as it's
so a great app is when it plays back and
obviously you can hear the bird, but then it shows
you the bar. Yeah, it shows you.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
The peaks of the.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
And it's really it's good because if you hear something
that you think might be a bird and it's not
a bird, it will just not do anything. So sometimes
like squirrels are chattering and you're wondering if that's you know,
if that's a bird, and if it's not a bird,
it will just be blank.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
It'll show the sound on the soundbar, but.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
It won't pinpoint it.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
But it will not bring up something that you know.
It will not tell you what it is.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
It's a very very cannot IDs squirrels or toads or frogs.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
I need somebody needs to do like.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
A frog app where you play you can record frogs
or insects.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Yeah, like almost like a Google Translate real time for wildlife.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
There you go, something like that would be excellent.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
But that would be super cool. Now we've got a
great app for you for now we can do. It's
a good time getting things set up and ready, whether
it's to tract birds to the yard and getting that ready,
to get your garden ready. Of course, is Lisa mentioned
you're thinking about your landscape layout. What a great uptunity. Yes,
weekend furniture events. It's all going on at the Brucet Coup.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Couple things I want to say if you are this
is especially with this weather.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
If you have peach trees and you had peach leaf curl,
and you know who you are. Now it's the time
to treat. You want to put down a copper funge
aside before the before the leaves start to green tip.
You don't excuse me, you don't want to have it
on when the flower buds are coming out.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Peach leaf curl.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Peach leaf curl.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
The other thing that you want to watch for now
and deal with right now is magnolia scale. So if
you have a magnolia and your neighborhood a magnolia and
there was magnolia scale, or even if you don't have
it yet, I would certainly use a dormant oil and
spray your magnolias.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Now it was a scale.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
It is it's a scale.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Is a bug that an insect and it it What
it does is it it has a crawler stage, which
is the only time that it is susceptible to treatment
of the insects themselves. Then it builds like a little
house over itself. It looks like a scale, like like
(25:25):
orst shells. There's oyster. There's a bunch of them, but
it's really devastating for magnolias. And so what the what
happens is the crawlers come out I think August September,
don't quote me, and you can treat it then, But
then they lay eggs in the buds for next year,
for the following year, and so the dormant oil spray
(25:47):
is going to suppress those eggs and keep them from hatching.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Could I get into the Rust Company today and pick
a product like that up.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
I think it's got a reorder, but we should have
it in later this week.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Get in, get it.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
So, yeah, you're gonna want to do that if you,
especially if a magnolia.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
In your area has been affected.
Speaker 1 (26:11):

thirteen ten. Love to get you on the air with
Lisa Breaks from the Bruce Company. You got a question
about anything outdoor related, Lisa is here for you. But
before we get to all of that stuff, let's talk
(01:12):
about this forecast.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
And yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I was wondering if that little you know, we were
in Spring of deception and then we had that little
you know, the snow and what Wednesday Thursday kind of thing. Yeah,
was that third winter or was that just a blip?
So are we in spring of deception or mud season?
Speaker 3 (01:33):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Went for a walk in the woods Saturday and we
are definitely in mud season.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Okay, well there you go.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Now, whether that holds or or you know what, it's
just going to go back to first winter and start
off starting because there's time.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yes, yeah, this is the speaking of time. This is
like the time of year where folks start to get.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Antsy, yes, edgy, yes, thanks ridden yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
One percent for so many reasons. It's such a fun,
exciting time of year. There's always also we'll get the
concern folks with my blankety blank popping up through the soil.
Should I worry? There's a little bit of everything right now.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
It doesn't seem to matter if you are sick of
winter now, or if you love winter, or if you
miss that we didn't really get like the snow and
the sort of the fun winter weather this year.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Everybody wants it to be spring.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah, And you know every year we go through this
at at the garden Center, and people want what they
want when they want it, and it's you know, I
just say, they're not commodities or widgets, they're living things.
And so we're in line behind a whole bunch of
other people who are south of us who are going
to get their plants before we do. And as you know,
(02:57):
as amazingly weird as this forecast looks, I don't know
that this is going to hold. And honestly, Friday is
four days away. It might change between now and then,
so you know, so we just want to remember to
be patient because it's Wisconsin. You know, they say, wait
twenty minutes in the weather will change, and just remember
(03:21):
that to everything, there is a season. So we were
expecting pansies last week, but they weren't ready. So we
are thinking, especially after the warm weather we've had and
all the sun over the weekend, we should see they
should be in color by now, and so we should
see our first shipment of pansies we did get last year,
(03:42):
some spring bulbs and some lenten roses that are in
and so those are things that you can plant outside.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
And you're just going to have to remember though that.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
It is only what March tenth, It is way early,
So make sure that if you're gonna if you're going
to have things outside, that you have a plan for
protecting them, because we're.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Going to get frost again. I mean, it would be
ridiculous if we did it.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
That would be bizarre.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Would that would be bizarre? If yeah, if our last
frost was like March first.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Or whatever that day that was, that would be Yeah,
that would be unique. And certainly, as we talk with
Lisa Breaks from the Bruce Company, don't forget if you
ever have questions, love to get you on the air.
Six eight three two one thirteen ten. That's six oh
eight three two one thirteen ten. Also a great day
to get on in to the Middleton Garden centered Bruce
Company twenty to thirty Parmenter Street. That's twenty at thirty
Partment Street. Learn more online Brucecompany dot Com. That's Brucecompany
(04:42):
dot Com. Now, we don't really have a lot of
control of when the last frost is. We don't have
control of what the forecast will be for the next
few days outdoors, But indoors, oh, we've got some pretty
good control over temperatures and other things.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
And I know the Bruce Company's got a wide variety
of seeds, and some of those seeds you can act
actually be putting in soil.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Yeah, once you get to March first, that opens up
a whole other range of things that you can start
from seed. You know, we've been cautioning you, like all
during February to sort of hold tight to things, and
you know, there were a few things that you could do,
starting some perennials or woody herbs, bulbing onions, that kind
(05:23):
of thing. But once we get to March, things sort
of bust open. So you can start any of the
cabbage family stuff, so brussels sprouts, cabbages, broccoli, all of
that kind of thing that can be started indoors because
that can go outside. Probably those seed links can go
(05:46):
outside with some protection in early April. They're pretty cold tolerant.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
You can also do.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
If you love those really hot peppers, you can go
ahead and start the now, but be prepared that you're
going to be uppotting those because they will not be
able to safely go outside for two months or a
month and a half, no, two and a half months,
not till the end of May. So make sure that
you just have a plan for that. And then of
course you can if you have summer blooming bulbs that
(06:21):
you had saved, like cannas or bogonias or dahlias. I
would get those started now in utility pots. Whether you're
going to plant them in containers outside or whether you're
going to plant them in ground. It's just you're going
to get a head start on those things if you do, glads,
I would wait and direct so those outside, and please
(06:41):
hold off on your tomatoes.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
It's not time yet.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
That's the hardest one. That's the hardest one.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
It's the hardest one. But I'll tell you when it's time.
It's not time yet.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
You mentioned things like broccoli and cauliflower and that type
of thing. Those are the type of things too. You
can generally do two plantings of later in the Yeah,
you can do well.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
If like like some of the quick like black broccoli
rob because that bears pretty early when you get to
that sewing in later in the later part of the summer,
you want to pay special attention to how long it
takes for things to mature. If you've got raised beds
(07:20):
and they're workable, there wouldn't be any reason why you
couldn't do a quick sow of spinach or some lettuce.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Just have a floating row cover on hand.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
So that if we get if we get some freezing
temps again, then you can go ahead and cover those
same with I mean it's early. What do they say
good Friday for peas. Wasn't that the old But Easter
is really late this year, so I think it's not
till mid or late April.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
So you're gonna have to pay attention to the radio.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Yeah, yeah, just listen. We'll tell you what to do.
I'm good at that. I will tell you what to do.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
If you've got a quest. I shouldn't eve you like Lisa,
I tell you what you can be doing right now.
Great time to give us call love to have you
join us. Six eight three two one thirteen ten. That's
six eight three two one thirteen ten. Gets you on
the air with Lisa Briggs from the Bruce Company Online.
Of course you can learn more Bruce Company dot com.
That's Bruce Company dot com. Great day to get on
into the Middleton Gardens side of the Bruce Company right
a twenty eight thirty Parmenter Street. That's twenty eight thirty
(08:21):
parment Street. A question from the Preble household. Yeah, so
many years ago, when Madson was a young man, he
planted a couple of raspberry bushes in his in his garden. Okay,
he loves the raspberries and they are they've been very
very good. As a matter of fact, they've been so
good that they've kind of gotten out of control. And
Madsen's dad me would like to transplant them to a
(08:43):
place outside of the yard, out the woods where the
deer can eat them or they can just do whatever.
When can I start thinking about doing that? And how
would I go about transport?
Speaker 2 (08:53):
So tell me when you get fruit, is it like
in July June July or is it later June July? Okay,
so those are summer bearing raspberries, and so those are
a little trickier. The cane comes up and doesn't fruit
(09:15):
until the second year. So do you mow these back
every year?
Speaker 3 (09:19):
No?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
No, okay, So what you're going to want to do
is the canes that came up last year. You're going
to want to leave those where they are, okay, because
those are going to fruit this year, and I'm afraid
if you transplant them they won't fruit, and then that's
sort of pointless because they after the second year they're done.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
So as those new.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Little shoots come up, Yeah, those are the ones you're
going to want to move. But you're also going to
want to keep some of those in the current bed
for Madsen because those are going to have fruit for
next year.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Okay, so take half or whatever of those the new
little ones coming up.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
How do they grow so wildly?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Well, they spread by runners and so that.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Yeah, it's if you're gonna have raspberries, it's best to
have like a bed of raspberries. Yeah, because they're just
gonna do what they're gonna do.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
I should have asked you years ago, although I wasn't.
In my mom and Madison when he was little put
these things in and now it's like they are slowly
taking over the razor.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
The everbearing ones are easier to cope with, and maybe
that's what. Maybe you want to move most of the
ones he has to the woods and redo his bed
with the everbearing type because those you just mow back
the whole bed at the end of the season or
in the early spring. Those canes come up and fruit
(10:39):
the same year. Okay, so those are a little bit
easier to deal with.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Also a lot of them the berries tend to be bigger.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
So oh but yeah, just so, maybe you want to
renovate his bed, move move the little seedlings up, take
the rest of them out, and then put in the
everbearers us have.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
When do those come in at the first is the question.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
I'm thinking back.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I want to say, like probably mid to late April, okay,
is when we start to get those sort of fruiting
like blueberries and raspberries and grapes and that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Yeah, I would love to do grapes. That seems like
such a fun thing. Like what are the Wisconsin there's
two two varieties.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Through right, what well the concords.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
The concord types do really well here, but to me,
they're harder to eat.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
You know they have that really thick skin.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
There are a couple of thinner skinned varieties that that
now that we're solidly zone five, shouldn't.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Be a problem.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Okay, all right, I.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Think there's a red one in a green one.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Talk a little bit about, talk a little bit.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
About when the time comes.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Yeah, And if you've got a question, you got something
in a spot in the yard you're saying, you know what,
I'm thinking about planting something there this spring. Got a
question about that anything? As a matter of fact, Liasa

But they do, like like Castel, which is one of
our higher and sort of cast aluminum lines. Castell has
a process where they force all the air out of
the aluminum.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
So they all have they have cross.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Sections of you know, aluminum furniture and it's got all
kinds of whores, holes and pockets and pores and stuff
in there.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Yeah, and Castel's pretty solid. Wow, they'll so I'm sure
they're going to bring props.

we've got a ton of really pretty dahlias. And Canna's
elephant ears came in. They were shorted for Expo, they
weren't ready yet.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
So yeah, so there's a lot going on this the
or moving thing.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
We've got just a couple little projects to finish up,
so you can come in and see how we've moved
some things around. You'd be surprised when you walk in
the front door it will not look the same way
that it looked last spring.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Oh neat' that should be very very cool to check
that out. I was to ask you to lisas I
don't know if you've got your app or if you've
checked recently, or if it's way too early on that. Obviously,
birds are going to start migrating back home.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Yeah, I saw that.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
I was just looking at the hummingbird arrival one and
I think that that's not till April.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Okay, and I haven't.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
I thought yesterday morning when I was driving into work,
I thought I saw red wing blackbird. Oh, Harvey was
driving me, and we were going over that bridge on
University and there was a blackbird and I could swear
I saw flash of red. And that seems to me
a little early for red wing blackbirds. Somebody, A couple
(20:02):
of people have reported they've seen robins, but I think
now there are probably pockets of robins that don't.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Migrate find a nice area like.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Yes, yeah, And I haven't heard any sand hill cranes yet.
Those are the early indicators.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Good time to be thinking about creating a welcoming environment
for yeah, and let's talk about.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Let's talk about that a little bit.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
So because because of bird flu, people are understandably reluctant
to feed our songbirds, and I did, Gail and I
both did a lot of looking with through the d
n R information on bird flu and talking to the manufacturers,
(20:49):
and so.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
I think that if you use.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Best practices, you keep your feeders clean and you use
good quality seed, and you're not near a waterway because
most of the transmission is through water foul Okay, and
you don't have of course, you don't live near a
poultry farm or you don't have backyard chickens, then you'd
want to be super careful. Songbirds are not as susceptible
(21:16):
to bird flu as other birds. The dn R right
now is not recommending that you don't feed birds. The
sensitive times are during migration because a lot of birds
are moving around. So, like I said, just be aware,
keep your feeders clean, make sure you're using good seed.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
By the way, you mentioned using good seed, it does
make a difference.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
I think, so, well, there's more there's less filler in it,
less millet and other kinds of things, and so it's
better for the birds for sure, because there's less junkie
seed in there and more high quality seed. It's like
it's like anything, get what you pay for, right, It's
the same for anything.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Do you want them to eat it and enjoyed and
remember that you have the good stuff or do you.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Want to And it's just better for them too if
there's more energy for them. I mean, we were we
we really worry about it during the winter because it's
so cold and it takes up so much energy for
our birds that winter over, I will keep at the
forecast again and I'm like, well, I don't know, can.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
You do a quick plug two for the app that
you told me about?
Speaker 2 (22:28):
It?
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Is that Merlin?
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Right Merlin?
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Oh my gosh. Yeah, that is the coolest app ever.
I use it thanks to you.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Yeah, Cornell Lab. Yeah, so yeah, it does. It has
a photo ID. And the best part though, is the.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Song I d and you can record the song.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
You can record it and save it. It's kind of fun.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
It's guess what, because I do this all the time.
Is I'll be like, guess what kind of bird I heard?
I'll go see my mom and she's she's into birds
and uh, and I'll tell her and she was like what,
and I'll be I'll play it back and as it's
so a great app is when it plays back and
obviously you can hear the bird, but then it shows
you the bar. Yeah, it shows you.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
The peaks of the.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
And it's really it's good because if you hear something
that you think might be a bird and it's not
a bird, it will just not do anything. So sometimes
like squirrels are chattering and you're wondering if that's you know,
if that's a bird, and if it's not a bird,
it will just be blank.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
It'll show the sound on the soundbar, but.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
It won't pinpoint it.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
But it will not bring up something that you know.
It will not tell you what it is.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
It's a very very cannot IDs squirrels or toads or frogs.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
I need somebody needs to do like.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
A frog app where you play you can record frogs
or insects.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Yeah, like almost like a Google Translate real time for wildlife.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
There you go, something like that would be excellent.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
But that would be super cool. Now we've got a
great app for you for now we can do. It's
a good time getting things set up and ready, whether
it's to tract birds to the yard and getting that ready,
to get your garden ready. Of course, is Lisa mentioned
you're thinking about your landscape layout. What a great uptunity. Yes,
weekend furniture events. It's all going on at the Brucet Coup.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Couple things I want to say if you are this
is especially with this weather.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
If you have peach trees and you had peach leaf curl,
and you know who you are. Now it's the time
to treat. You want to put down a copper funge
aside before the before the leaves start to green tip.
You don't excuse me, you don't want to have it
on when the flower buds are coming out.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Peach leaf curl.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Peach leaf curl.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
The other thing that you want to watch for now
and deal with right now is magnolia scale. So if
you have a magnolia and your neighborhood a magnolia and
there was magnolia scale, or even if you don't have
it yet, I would certainly use a dormant oil and
spray your magnolias.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Now it was a scale.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
It is it's a scale.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Is a bug that an insect and it it What
it does is it it has a crawler stage, which
is the only time that it is susceptible to treatment
of the insects themselves. Then it builds like a little
house over itself. It looks like a scale, like like
(25:25):
orst shells. There's oyster. There's a bunch of them, but
it's really devastating for magnolias. And so what the what
happens is the crawlers come out I think August September,
don't quote me, and you can treat it then, But
then they lay eggs in the buds for next year,
for the following year, and so the dormant oil spray
(25:47):
is going to suppress those eggs and keep them from hatching.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Could I get into the Rust Company today and pick
a product like that up.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
I think it's got a reorder, but we should have
it in later this week.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Get in, get it.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
So, yeah, you're gonna want to do that if you,
especially if a magnolia.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
In your area has been affected.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
