Speaker 1 (00:11):
All righty, good morning, good morning, good morning, welcome, welcome,
walk me in. It's time now for the Green Country
Gardener Program. And Larry Glass is with us. He is
our expert, and you can reach us at nine one
eight three three six fourteen hundred.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Larry. How you doing, man.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
I'm pretty good. I'm not doing very bad, bad at all.
Oct I was looking at my keys here and you
can tell something has an old truck. M has a
fielder gauge on the ski ring. Oh my gosh, oh no, no, well, anyway,
that's funny. Golly, hey, uh that was really weird. What
(00:49):
was yesterday afternoon? What by that rain? Oh? Yeah, I
just say, this is the radar on that It just.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
No, it was on my.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Plahoma and I missed it, but I saw wet pavement
when I came back.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
I was where to stop that thing? Man. I was
getting ready to leave the nursery. I pull up the weather.
You know, I can see what's gonna happen the next day,
and there was on the radar this very contained storm
and it was intensifying as it went south, and then
as soon as they got out of Washington County, it
(01:25):
started to fall apart so I think dying divide intervention.
I would imagine, oh my, because we really did need
the rain, but my neighbor didn't. They were roofing the house.
But anyway, hopefully they had the sheathing on before it
got to be a problem, because yeah, that was just
totally unexpected and definitely welcome. I would say, we had
(01:47):
a third of an inch in our house. Okay, yeah,
that's better than nothing. Yeah, it did show third of
an inch in some places. When I saw the precipitation,
all I got was like a light missed.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I thought it ran into the swarm of gnats, you know.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Well participated by the time you got back from Telta
where at Tokyo. Yeah, it kind of played out so well.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
When I stopped in Collinsville to get some gasoline, it
was like, hey it rained.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
It rained pretty good there.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Yeah, so we had My wife was texting her friends rain.
You know, I only got it then then they texted back,
Oh well I got some rain too with it. But anyway,
the crowd is the ground in the air is warm,
so it's time, prime time for fall planting. Actually it is,
despite the fact that you guys at the Weather Service
(02:44):
still think it's summer, well, it could be in the
middle of October almost practice eighty eight degrees come on.
Remember also when your plant, to prepare the soil properly.
And Kyley, we go through truckloads of composts every year.
We also have a bit and bit of a compost
(03:07):
in bulk right now too, so so it helps our
soil out real good. And we did a landscape project
and the worst soil in town and we had a
lot of compost to it. And men, they've got cannas
that are ten feet tall. Really, oh yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
They're touching the sky.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Yeah, and they never have gotten that tall. He's kind
of nice. So anyway, it's also time to plant a cool,
cool seasoned annuals like panzies and ornamental cager, those things that, yeah,
ornamental cabbage and kale.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
So now, if you have ornamental cabbage and ornamental kale,
do you ornamentally eat them or is it just like
a decoration on the table.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
It is edible, The flavor is not not the best
from the world.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Okay, So it's there for show, it really is.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Yeah, And what the what these do? It's when it
gets really cold, the covers intensify on the cap it
looks like and they give you some some winter color
in the landscape. So you do want to put them
in a certain degree of sun so that we'll develop that.
And it really hasn't turned that much yet because in
(04:16):
the middle of the summer it seems so they will
when it starts to cool down a little bit too,
So that's cool. Uh. You want to dig and story
your tender perennials like cannas and dayas and pladiums and
put them in a dry I put mine in a
cardboard box in the garage in between the car and
the truck, and it does fine. Back on the ground
at least some of them in the ground too, just
(04:38):
in case they would survive. And typically those are the
ones that are going to come up and developed quicker
than the ones that aren't, so so you get kind
of the differential height early in the year, but they
grow up and do just fine. So uh, many perennials
can still be planted right now and usually the Yeah, selection,
(05:01):
I was digging up rocks all day yesterday.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
So Mike, yeah, you were telling me you were doing
a sprinkler system and it pretty much was like a
concrete field exactly.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
I'm a little tired of anyway, I'll get better. So
digging sore perennials like canis dius and flatings and cool
dry plays. Many premials can be planted right now, and
and the selection is pretty nice right now too. We
have a some sleppy of plants at the nursery. Speaking
of perennials. Oh, these are annuals really, and the monarch
butterflies are really going at them. People come by and
(05:35):
they see that there's a swarm of monarch butterflies.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Wow, that's gotta be something.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
This one bench we have up there with butterfly plants,
and they're really kind of kind of thrilled to see that.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Some of them start filming it with there, well you
know what video thing with their digital camera.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Oh yeah, yeah, I've got there got a few of
those two for those of you with color radio, Yes, sir,
the patures there, huh oh there is, yeah, there is.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
It looks pretty darn cool. You got to really see
it for yourself. Oh that's a big old beautiful monarch.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Yeah. And they really do like these plants. So that's
one thing we try to emphasize over that the nursery
is that the planting for the you know, the butterflies
of wildlife and all that. So we have a bench
that's kind of dedicated to that. So come out and
look at it and see a lot of these are
annuals though, so you have to replant them every year.
So if you do want to attract the butterflies, you
(06:31):
might consider having a fairly large section of the garden
dedicated to butterflies, just because they you know, there's no
network in the butterfly internet to tell you hey, we got.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yeah, but they figure it out pretty quickly.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
What they do. They just kind of fly over then
they then they just kind of.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
See it do it.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
It's kind of like a little piece of tissue in
the wind, you know, and well they've got eyes so
that can they can see that they're something good there,
so they'll find it. So anyway, so you might consider
that just for the monarchs, and it really needs to
be kind of out of the open really, maybe in
the middle of the yards someplace, or somewhere in the backyard,
(07:12):
not next to the fence, but out there so when
they're flying around they can see it unobstructed. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Nice, m okay, So you got all that going on here.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Right Also, right now, we're coming in to fall, so
you want to plant mums, asters and cabbage and kale
right now, and be sure to keep them water during
drice bells and try not to crowd them together too
much if.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
You're everybody got that rain yesterday, so if you didn't
get that, make sure you're watering fight.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Oh it came like a wiper blade right over bartleshells.
Everybody got rained.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Okay, well, I mean we get we get a patch
from Tulsa all the way up to independence, so you
got this.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
But anyway, so you want to make sure to water
them because these plants, when you get them, all the
roots are just right here and you can't water it
once a week like the established ones. You have to
water them specifically and let the riots go out and
explore the area. Then over time they will have a
(08:18):
root system extensive out enough to to not have to
be watered more often. So anyway, so that's that's one
thing is when you do get them on plants, keep
that in mind that the root system is limited to
that little area right in there, and you do have
to water just about daily on them really until the
(08:39):
roots get established and out into the ground that can
start soaking up the water from around them. So okay,
that's very important to know that prior to planting them.
So passy is kind of the same thing. Passies have
a very fine rit system. It's almost like cotton.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
It's really kind of light fiber.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Yeah, kind of fiber. If you pull out the pot
and look at it, it looks like a mold almost.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Oh wow, I mean that that's different.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Yeah, So you can't really pant plant plant pansies into clay.
You really have to prepare the soil for them. And
I've done some of that in my house, getting ready
to get cooled enough to plant them. I'm never home, so.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
You're never home. But by god, he's got a good look.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
They'll probably turn into potato chips. But anyway, you do
want to make sure that there is enough organic material
for them to where they can send out some roots
into their Panzies do not work in the clay.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
No, not a good thing.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Same thing with biolus too, they're kind of related, so.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
You don't want to do that either.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
So uh, checking treat house plants also for insect pests
before bringing them inside. A lot of people summer their
plants out, so you want to make sure that they're
not covered in bugs or something at this point, so
they bring them into the house if you will, So
(10:13):
you might even lift it out of the pod or
look underneath the pot and see if there's a little
creepy crawlers in there, because the outside it's kind of wild. Yeah,
that's the bugs are looking for. So it looks good there.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
The next thing, you know, you have a big ant
colony all through the house. You know, so just kind
of look at that first before you bring them in,
and then you can they can be treated. But maybe
some knee oil or something would take care of that.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
You know, something.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Larry, And here we are in mid October, right, we're
playing the Opal music and everything else. And uh, I
noticed that most of the trees are still green, but
there are some that are starting.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
To show color. Yeah, and uh and limited areas limited yeah,
limited limited.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
There the tree here does the middle of October the eleventh,
and we look out the window everything it looks like
may or you. I know, it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I've never seen it like that around here.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
So, uh, I guess the sun's a little bit slow
at doing this little wiggle you know when this guy
maybe I don't know, because really the primary stimulus for
leaf change color change is length of day. So but
the cold helps it too. What's going to happen if
it's really warm going into the fall, the tree is
going to soak up all the all the chlorophyll, and
(11:33):
it's also going to absorb all the syannathons that are
still in the leaves, and we're not going to have
any color.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Well I saw that once since I've lived here in
this area once in seven years.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
It wasn't pretty at all.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
It was ugly.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
So typically the pistache are starting to show us some color.
Right now mine is twinging a little bit, but just say,
maybe hold off on this. Let's photo sense it size
some moore. Yeah, let's make more carbs so we can
survive the winter better.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
So that.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Exactly so, what we really need is and that's not
coming up, but we really need is some cold, cooler weather.
We don't need a sudden last of twenty eight degree weather.
We need to transition into it. So you can tell
you if your friends arever at the weather service to
try to moderate that a little bit.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Im on it.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
They can't maybe have some good fall color this year,
You've come to the right Oh good. So typically by
this Clumbus day right now, we start to see some
color changing, but it's very little point. So they're hanging
on their photosynthesizing as long as they can to make
those to make those sugars down on the wrist that
(12:46):
survive the winter. Okay, good.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Plants and shrubs and perennials and bulbs, and oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
It's a great time for that. And really in our
soil over here, probably the best thing you can do
is ask about ground preparation for these plants. And represents
a rether large investment, and you want to make sure
that the ground is ready. It's like buying a brand
new car and putting kerosene in the gas tank. You
(13:15):
know you don't do that there, so you want to
and you can actually avoid some mistakes just by calling up.
But I can come to your house and we can
just walk around and make some suggestions for some plants too.
And as soon as I know your address, I know
what kind of soil you have, and you draw from
(13:36):
different plant lists for the landscape. And depending on the
soil you have pH structured you know, clay and whatnot
in it, so you can respond based on that. So
so it's very important to kind of know your existing conditions.
And you can probably look at the house at the
soil line along the house and see a gap in there.
(13:56):
You look down, you see you know, burning lava from
the dry soil separate from the house. Yeah, it goes
goes way down there anyway, So you want to make
sure that your soil is up to park. Now, when
when we contract out landscape, which you do a lot
of that, we come in with a big old truckload
of compost and a tiller and get the soil really good.
(14:19):
You go to work on it so these plants can
have a better chance at surviving. And also when you
when you do put in a plant or a shrub
or something, you need to make some vertical scores on
the root ball itself. Say you're putting in a box
lit or something and all these roots are real tight
like that, Typically we break that up a little bit,
(14:40):
spread them out, spread them out, and then that'll let
the roots kind of grow out a little faster. So
there's just not a barrier of a straight wall like that.
It's just not good for the plants. They just can't
establish that too well. So you do want to do
so some soil prep and also you do want to
do a little bit of plant prep too, depending on
(15:00):
the root systems. Fertilizer is good, don't don't overdo it.
Maybe something to established with some phosphorus in it that
would help the root system develop too. Really, when you
do that, you're not necessarily the plants growing fast when
when they're new like that, but getting the root system
established it's very important. So or zero twenty zero or
(15:25):
something like that will help help them get established.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Okay, how about weeds, I'm seeing a lot of those weeds.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Yeah, it's the pesculon weeds. Broadly, weeds like dandelions can
easily be controlled during this month. Typically they're coming out.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Seeing dandelions in the fall. I don't recalling that really.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
I pull up a few around my house. You can
tell that the pathway to the mailbox there's no weeds.
But but I keep pulling them up so they can
easily be controlled while it's kind of warm in October,
trying to put pre emergence to control cool season grasses
(16:07):
in weeds in your lawn. But we're running out of time.
Speaker 7 (16:11):
So.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Make sure also your grass is very well established when
you put down pre emergence. If you're trying to establish
a fescue lawn and well, let's just put some pre
emergence in there to stop the weeds. Well, nothing will grow.
A pre emergent really has no selectivity like that, and
it will stop your lawn seats from growing. So don't
(16:35):
use the pre emergent on your newly seated lawn. It's
not a good idea. And also if your lawn it's
really kind of stressed out and just kind of thing
and just looks sickly, I wouldn't I wouldn't use the
pre merge. Just put up with the weeds and start
a fertilizer program. Oh there you go to get get
grass toughened up. The grass is a monoculture and so
(16:56):
you kind of have to address it as such, and
it takes a bit of a fertilizer to do that.
And a lot of a lot of people's lawns are
deficient in nitrogen. They've got the promenographs there and maybe
maybe in just a little bits here and there. But
if you start to you know, a fertilizing program, it'll
do okay. Well, our first house we moved into here,
(17:17):
the yard just the yucky it really was. It was terrible.
So I took some urea and put it down there,
watered it real good into the ground, and about months
later the neighbors say, did you sad your yard? Oh,
just a little pup what it needed at that college
of knowledge, I just gave it the fertilizer.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Tell you what, we're gonna have to.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Take a quick break when we come back, talk a
little bit about, you know, maybe some of the things
that kill your weeds. But we'll also talk a little
bit about what's new at the nursery this week when
we return after this two minute, ten second time out.
Speaker 8 (17:53):
If you're do it yourself, the place you need to
go and the place you need to know is United Rentals.
This man once said, if the only tool you have
is a hammer, every problem will look like a nail.
Finding out what you need is what the professionals at
United Rentals are great at doing. You've noticed when you
finally get the right tool or equipment for the job,
how easy it is to fix. Well, that's what the
(18:16):
experts do at United Rentals every day. United Rentals on
the Southeast corner of Highway sixty and seventy five United Rentals.
Speaker 9 (18:27):
Nothing says falled and mums pansies and ornamental kale and
fall has fell at Greentham Nursery and Greenhouses with an
abundance of mums, pansies and ornamental kale get thirty percent
off Japanese maples, crape myrtles and.
Speaker 10 (18:40):
Rows of sharing.
Speaker 9 (18:41):
Plus they always have new shipments of trees and shrubs,
new shipment of houseplants, African violences including carnivorous plants. Now's
the time to soak Escu seed and green Tham has
five star Escu seed in five to fifty pounds bags
in stock green Theam Nursery and Greenhouses on no what
a road open Monday through Saturday ninety four.
Speaker 10 (19:03):
Who do I call to get my trees trimmed? Kelly
Banks Tree Service? Who can grind up these stumps in
my yard?
Speaker 4 (19:09):
Kelly Banks Tree Service.
Speaker 10 (19:11):
There's a dead tree right by my house and I'm
nervous it might fall.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
Well, you better call Kelly Banks Tree Service.
Speaker 10 (19:17):
What's that number?
Speaker 11 (19:18):
It's nine one eight three three five seven thousand. It's
nine one eight day three five seven zero zero zero.
Speaker 12 (19:24):
Calling today for your tree trimming, stump grinding and tree
removal needs.
Speaker 11 (19:29):
That's nine one eight d three five seven zero zero
zero nine one eight day three five seven thousand.
Speaker 7 (19:37):
Shy Way Honda, Skyway Honda Highway seventy five South in Bartlesville.
Evan Fa back with Josh Mattney. Josh, twenty twenty fives
are out the door and some deals at Skyway Honda.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
That's right, Evan.
Speaker 13 (19:48):
Honda just announced zero point nine to nine percent for
sixty months on all remaining twenty twenty five ridge lines.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
That's the cheapest rate I've seen in months. Shy Way Honda.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Yeah, whoa one time there? Boy got the upa music
that makes our buddy Chris.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Up north.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
There you go go a little nuts. Oh my goodness,
as we got the October Fest music going on here.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Where is October?
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (20:30):
He?
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Or is it July?
Speaker 2 (20:31):
I don't know, Yeah, doc to July, Doc to June? Anyway?
Round up? Folks will they go crazy with that stuff.
But it's it's really one of those things. It doesn't
care when it touches. It's getting round up, round up.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
It's a very useful tool for getting rid of uh vegetation.
You don't want.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Be careful, very careful with it, because it really doesn't
know what you don't want.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Or bermuda grass, oh golly, bermunograss and roundup, they get
along real well. And the bermudographs usually winds up at
the short end of the sticks. It is highly highly
susceptible around it. So and then if you have you know,
a lot of weeds in new yard, what you can
do is get a piece of PBC pipe or something
(21:21):
and put it over the center of the weed. How
about a little bit of spray on that, and that
will be a very specific application.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
About that toilet roll thing that it worked too.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Yeah, just just to shield the surrounding area work. Instead
of having these big dead spots, you have little tiny
ones and the bermunograss if that's what you have, will
fill in, will do just fine. Yeah. So, yeah, you
can do a specific application for these pisky fall weeds
and pre measured pre emersion herbicide works very well pro diamings.
(21:55):
When we like well, we usually sell we buy a
bunch that's gone every week, just like that stuff because
it works, it has a long lifespan and it is
a very good job of pre merging. Stop you growth
whatever of weeds they're coming up. So a long management
program is a good idea. And you get all the
information from the extension service to you just you get
(22:19):
it on the line. Get online. Yeah, we have on
our web page greensook dot com we have a link
down to the bottom of the page where you can
it takes you to those if you go to osue
web page. I tried that one time to try to
find that. Oh my gosh, especially during football season. So lord,
(22:43):
you can find or you just go go to our
place and go to the bottom and then click the
thing and then it takes it right to it.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Freaking your place. What you do with the nurseries.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
At the nursery this week we have all kinds of
pansy taale cabbage plants for fall color moms too. We
got these big old mump plants that are really quite
beautiful right now. And because of the weather, they the
flowers have been on there for quite some time, so
I think they're going to make a really big show
(23:14):
on the front porch or something. Then you can dump
them in the ground later on. But they do, and
some of them they got their own zip code. I mean,
an great, big old plants, so bring the truck. Yeah,
it's also important though, also what we mentioned earlier about
getting the soil ready for these plants. You can't just
(23:36):
dump them into clay expect them to grow. They're just
not that way. And also after they're done blooming and
everything else, you cut them back a little bit, maybe
put some moult around them, and try to maintain some
watering throughout the winter so they don't desiccate. Because in
the winter time is our driest time of the year,
(23:56):
and these plants get real dried up and they they
just die.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
And folks by you might think Larry's talking crazy about
watering your plants in the winter, but it's important.
Speaker 6 (24:05):
It is.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
So I'll tell you what, when we come back here,
we're gonna talk division, a long division.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Or you didn't tell me there's going to be math here, Larry.
We got that coming up here after this in two
minutes ten second time out.

Companion Care in Bartowsville called nine one three three forty
two hundred caregivers there to help.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Ah there, that's a good one.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
It is upap music for our October As celebration as
we do that each and every year, much to the
Sagrinomark Buddy Chris. But anyway, it's in the Green Country
Gardner program and your telephone calls are welcome. If you
have a question or comment for Larry Glass, our expert
will gladly take them at nine one eight three three
six fourteen hundred. That's nine one eight three three six
(27:06):
fourteen hundred. That'll get you through.
Speaker 9 (27:09):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Okay, we teased a little.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Bit saying we're gonna talk about division, but we're talking
about division and perennials.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
You don't have to be a mathematician to divide your friend. Wait,
peony plants can be divided. At this point, have some
of my host's house I have to do and day lilies?
The hammer callis they like they don't like to be crowded,
especially the stelladoro. Celidoro is a that sounds.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
The name right there just sounds like, don't bother.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Me, stella stella of gold, I understand. Anyway, Celadoro is
one that can get it blooms real nice when you
first get it. Then the next year it does pretty good.
The next year maybe. Anyway, this one has to be
dividedccasionally for it to bloom. Monksley, it gets a little crowded.
(28:04):
Now I have this this little rock edge and it's
just boulders bigger than your torso. And then there's another
one beside it, and the well, okay, anyway that's bigger
than that. Well it's the size of a big dog.
But anyway, it's a big old rock. And right next
(28:25):
to it is one that's a little bit smaller than that,
and in between the two, I have a stelladoro and
Stella do it doesn't have it. It doesn't have a
chance to really branch out of you because it's kind
of restricted and it just blooms pretty much throughout the summer.
It faces faces west and does quite well. So anyway,
(28:46):
Stella doors can be the vidro on occasionally if you're
not performing, if you're not blooming, they're just too crowded,
so they need to be split up a little bit.
Iris also, they got a bunch of iris and offered
them a free at the nursery and they last about
three or four days and they're gone. Anyway, they need
(29:08):
to be divided on occasion. My grandmother taught me how
to do that back when I was twelve thirteen years old.
I helped her. I helped her divide the iris that
are yeah, Georgia, so that's cool. So anyway, that was
fun too. Other spring flowering perennials can be divided now, peonies,
dail lilies, irish and some of the things that you
(29:32):
might have perennials. Moms can be divided, but I'd wait
till after they blew them for that so it's kind
of TIMEI heer to do that. And you want to
get the area you want to play the at, you
need to get the ground ready first. In other words,
if I divide up some see some Irish plants or something,
I'll pick out where I want to go and get
(29:52):
the soil all mixed up with the composts and stuff.
So it's easier to plant them that way. So get
the get there the the nation already. I moved a
bunch of them to the north what I call the
north slope in the house. Yeah, and there's a big
old drainage canal right there, and it worked pretty well. Yeah,
it's fine, and there's still even after it rained last night,
(30:14):
they're still there. You know, it didn't rain that much,
so that's gotten bank full. And in the past, god
they it drains the whole little turgeon pressure east eastern
part of the neighborhood there, and everybody's jarred backed into
this and drained it away, so.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Got rushing waters.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
So anyway, spring flowering perennials and stuff can be divided.
Daffodils though, you could if you know where they are.
They can be dug up and divided to and you'll
have limited bloom bloom possibilities on it. So typically that's
done right after they begin to wither. It's got late now,
but it can be done. So so just general perennials
(30:55):
in general can be done. Hey, I have a Japanese
peony plant.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Oh you do?
Speaker 3 (31:01):
And these have big yellow blooms the size of a softball.
It's huge, and lots of them, and there's a deciduous
holly close by, and it's kind of stealing some of
the thunder. So the Japanese peony is going to get
relocated sometimes if you guys could ever let it cool
down a little bit, okay, Oh oh yeah cool?
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Hey yea in the lawn. Can I buzz cut the
yard anytime soon?
Speaker 8 (31:31):
No?
Speaker 2 (31:31):
No, okay, you want to leave the Yeah, I have
to asking permission because.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Yeah, you want to leave the bermuda grass kind of high.
Because it can get cold in the winter.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
I've seen it very cold in our way. We get
like six weeks of like what is this?
Speaker 3 (31:45):
I know, you walk on your feet, stick to the ground,
it's so cold.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Sometimes if there's a wind, your pants start to crackle
when you'll walk.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
I've had that.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Happen at one time we had to snow that was
driving my truck around an ambulance got stuck. If I
stopped and help help him push out, push him out
of the snow, he went on his way.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Did he have was the lights and sirens? No? Oh,
just just kind of just.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Maybe it was too late. I don't know, but.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
You didn't know what you was pushing.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
Anyway. What we're talking about permudo grass. Leave it kind
of high right now. At this point fescue. You can
start lowering the level of the fescue and you need
to irrigate, perhaps fertilizer fescue because it's becoming really actively growing.
The nighttime temperatures are reasonable right now. I mean it's
not not terrible, not like in the summertime when it's
(32:43):
ninety degrees at midnight. So it does get a bit cool.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
We're kindy in coats in the morning, shorts in the
afternoon type of weather.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
I know, when you're working outside, just it's kind of
hard to prepare for.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
You got the old windbreaker and the hat on and
this thing.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
You know, I go, man, you know I really should
have done the short sleeves and the short freezing my knees.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Fall a long time ago, we were doing a big
old project downtown and the contractor asks, what do you
what are you going around in short sleeves? Its cold?
I said, it won't be cold from get it'll warm up.
So in the lawns right now, like I said, need
to fertilize that fatcue at this point. Make sure you
(33:28):
have good ground moisture prior to fertilizing, and then fertilize it,
then water it in again. Yeah, you don't want that
very thin layer of fertility. And the fertilizer it works
by diffusion. It doesn't just wash into the soil. It's
a fertilizer. Is a salt with not with batteries, but
(33:53):
it is a salt.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
It gets absorbed when diffused with water.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
It diffuses into the ground exactly. It doesn't wash into
the ground to diffuses. So it's a good idea to,
especially with as dr as it is right now, to
irrigate the lawn at this point prior to fertilizing, then
fertilize it, then irrigate it again that way and Kelly,
after this rain we had last night, it'll help it too. Sure,
(34:17):
it takes a lot of water and a lot of money.
To create a you know, a third of an inch
of rain on your whole on so you take advantage
of that factor at this point and fertilize right now
and then turn on the sprinklers to get it diffused
done into the soil.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
All right, we're gonna have to take a break.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
It's eight forty three and we will be back after
this two minute ten second time out.

our tree of the week.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
Let's talk a little bit about the lace bark elm.
Let's do it parborfolio and people go, oh, elm elm,
fan my yard. I don't know, not me anyway. It's
the beauty can reach up to forty to sixty feet
when it gets mature, so it's not a huge tree.
It has pest free foliage and get kind of pretty
(37:30):
glassy leaves on it too. They're small and they have
sometimes have good yellow fall color. It can also be
a good red fall color if if the weather's right.
So anyway, and it has attractive little tiny red fruit
things that birds kind of like. So it has an
exceptional brownish orange montle to bark. You know, people plant
(37:52):
river birds for this bark barkle flavored bark shape and
all that. But this one has not exactly the same
but a a un acceptable or an asthetically pleasing bark
to it. Also it's kind of smooth and pretty cooler
and stuff. Where was I? Oh, you need to prove
(38:16):
out narrow forks when it's young, as when this tree
is really young, and a narrow fork is one that
say less than twenty thirty degrees, that's represents a weak point.
So it might look a little jangly when it's young,
but it'll grow out of that just fine with a
very little irrigation and fertilization. The growth raugh, it can
(38:37):
be quite moderate. Actually it doesn't really grow super super fast,
but it grows kind of moderately fast. You really don't
want something a tree grows really quite fast. Typically a
real typically a real fast growing tree has is sort
of weak wooded. Yeah, and then to.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
Put stretch to the finish line and collapse.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
Get a broken tree branch goes through the throw the
ceiling into your dining room, you know. So it's kind
of a moderate growth and becomes a round of that maturity.
It also produces a profusion of seeds that seem to
come up everywhere to draw back, but this is about
it's only redeeming quality that's capable of growing where other
(39:20):
trees will survive. It's a great street tree. You look
downtown as some of them planted all through there through
the little tiny squares, and I know we planted some
of those and what's under there.
Speaker 7 (39:32):
Is just.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
Not much, just kind of gravel, you know, So there's
still so one of these trees survive in those condition.
But they do very well with that too. So it's
a native to North and central China, Korea and Japan,
and many of the newer cult of arts have been
developed from strains found in those two countries. So it's
been hybridized and made to be a good, good, positive
(39:57):
plant to have in the landscape.
Speaker 5 (40:00):
So I like this.
Speaker 3 (40:01):
It's because in the fall and you don't have these
giant leaves and they sort of kind of blow around
a little bit and go to the neighbor's yard. It
takes a little busy anyway, it will grow where few
other trees will survive. But people thought, well, I thought
the elms had disease problems and break up of storms. Yeah,
(40:24):
they do. But the lace spark elm is a tough
and durable and it's resistant to touch on disease. It
should not be confused with a Siberian elm almost cumula
off of the line as a trash tree. The Siberian
almost kind of a fall apart kind of thing. So
you want to pick out the true lace spark almost porfolio.
(40:49):
So they're really good trees that have in limited space
in the yard. They have a kind of an upright
vase shape to them, and when they're young, you have
some a little bit of weeping habit to them. And
there are good examples here in town. There's I forget
the name of the the old folks home over there
Colonial when you first go in on the left on Camelot,
(41:09):
there's a prime example of the last sparking beautiful thing
and it kind of growth as it's kind of the
sweeping habit and it's survived all the storms and ice
and everything else. We've had pretty durable, pretty durable plant.
So no bugs and no diseases. It's a good plant.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
Well, there you go, tell you what we need to
take another time out and we will be back after this.

Shortly after Charles Lindberg's transatlantic flight to Europe, the Dole
Pineapple Company sponsored a race from San Francisco to Honolulu
in nineteen twenty seven. Len Berg refused to fly in it,
noting he couldn't miss the continent of Europe, but he
sure as heck could miss Hawaii. Frank Phillips saw the
race as a great opportunity to advertise his new Phillips
(43:01):
Aviation fuel. Frank found his pilot, a Hollywood stunt pilot
by the name of Arthur Goebbels, and named his plane
the Wollarock in honor of the Ranch. Eight planes took
off from San Francisco on August sixteenth, nineteen twenty seven,
and only two planes finished the race. The flight took
over twenty six hours and the winner was the Woolarock.
(43:22):
Charles Lindbergh described it as the greatest event in air history.
For the next year, that plane barnstormed the country advertising
Philip's fuel and finally returned to Woollarock. Mister Phillips instructed
his staff to build a stone hanger for the airplane,
which they did, and he stored the plane there. As
he collected more and more art and artifacts, he stored
(43:43):
a lot of it in that hangar until he finally
had to enlarge it. Today, you know that airplane hangar
is the first room of the museum as you walk
out of the dome room. Next time you visit, remember
what that room's initial purpose was back in nineteen twenty eight.
That same area plane hangs proudly today in the museum
at Wallarock, where magic still happens every day. Welcome home

Hey, it's age fifty four.
Speaker 1 (45:14):
Where are you if you're listening in you got a
question or a comment for Larry Glass, our expert right
here on the Green Country Gardener, and give us a
call at nine one eight three three six fourteen hundred. Hey,
we've talked about trees. We've talked about the garden. We
we we've talked about you know, what to do in
the garden.
Speaker 2 (45:33):
But what about shrubs? What do we have for our shrubbery.
Speaker 3 (45:36):
About Let's talk a little bit about boxwoods. Let's talk
boxwood boxwoods. I don't know where they came up with
the term boxwoods. Neither do There's the stems aren't big
enough to make a box. No, maybe it's because people
like to prune them in the shape of a box.
Maybe I don't know what it is, but anyway, there's
(45:56):
one of the most popular over the evergreen shoves. They
have a shiny, dark green foliage, a very dense branching
habit and they tolerate pruning very well. Use this hedge
and former guarden, etcetera, etcetera. I prefer them unpruned. I
have a boxwood hedge along the back fence, and I
don't use the shears. I go back and cut it
(46:17):
back from within. And it's made a real nice, informal
kind of hedgerow. In other words, it has some depth
to it and some a little bit of fluffiness to it,
if you will, and it's done really quite well over
the years, and so you really don't have to use cheers.
In other words, on this particular hedgerow. If I see
(46:39):
a branch it's too long, I don't cut it over there.
I go down inside and cut it down back inside
of it, and you get a good density. A lot
of times, if you keep cutting a box foot hedge
at the same level every year, you get a real
thin veneer of leaves rather than a good thick veneer.
Speaker 2 (46:58):
So go go down.
Speaker 3 (47:00):
So while their while they're young, before they get too old,
you might consider cutting them back a little bit and
then letting them grow out, and then you can cut
every year cut that back and so on. And I
have two of them in the front of the house
that are shaped like these cones. Are eight feet tall
and they're shaped like this, like a cone shape. And
(47:21):
every every February I take the years and get brutal
with them. And they look so nice because all the
foliage is fresh on them, rather than it's the same
old buliage has been there for five years. They might
look at a little uh bedraggled at first, if you will,
but let they grow out of it pretty quick. So
(47:42):
also people use them for hedges. There's a green mountain
boxwood is very fast and young, and it's a very
dense form, kind of a natural cone shaped if you
leave it alone. Winter gym is probably the one more
popular ones. That's a compact, hardy evergreen show with dark
green leaves. Then an excellent low hedge or border plant
gym to good English boxwood, very small little leaves on it.
(48:03):
I don't like this one as much. It seems that
it changes color in the winter. It just doesn't look
very attractive. And I found it to get spider maightes
more than anything else, you know, And there's a green veil,
but there's a true spreading box wood. Every year they
come up with a new one, so you have to
use them. If you have a low window, you have
to use them properly. If you have low windows, you
(48:26):
really don't want a boxwood plant there. I go to
so many people's houses and oh, is there a window
behind there? You know, if you have a low window,
you might want to use say a Hiller's holly, which
is a form of Japanese holly which is very low growing,
or even a Japanese holly stays rather small, or something
(48:48):
low and spreading, rather than say a boxwood under the
windows because you quickly lose the light in the window.
As they grow up tall, it grows. So anyway, the
box wood. And I have some of my house that
are alli. Some of them is eight feet tall and
I've trimmed it up from the bottom so it has
(49:10):
a little Doctor Seus's tree kind of. Oh yeah, pretty cool.
Nice houses on the garden too.
Speaker 1 (49:15):
What is that?
Speaker 3 (49:16):
It's a boxwood but it's got branches in the tree form. Yeah,
you can do that with these things. You can do
all kinds of stuff with these plants. And they have
some true spreaders that are in the back and they
only get an high you know, and get the electric
shears out.
Speaker 9 (49:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (49:33):
Take Valentine's Day massacre and they do just fine. They
have very little requirement as far as fertilizer is concerned,
and because of their glossy leaf, they can tolerate drought
really well. So this might be a consideration in your landscape.
Not necessarily under low windows, but perhaps it's a framing.
(49:56):
And keep in mind you can be rather stern with
cutting them back in the early spring, and they bounce
back and bush out. Look good again, Tony, come by
the nursery and see what we got. We got a
great selection of mums, and the panzies and the violas
are in. Those are real uh plants. They do very
well in the cool season. They'll last throughout the winter
(50:19):
and then they'll blow them out real heavily in the spring.
I like I like to kind of plant them in
clump clumps and groups, so when spring does come you
can plant between them, or you can actually plant annuals
in amongst them in the spring, and as it gets hot,
those annuals will take over and and they'll just cover
(50:41):
them up, and they're just gonna be their ways. Anyway,
Come check us out where No, well, yeah, forty six
