Speaker 4 (00:41):
Nathan Thompson in studio with our gardening.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Expert on this Chili Saturday, November first, Larry Glass in
studio doing some sniffling over there.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
He's got his hoodie on, he's ready to go. I know,
I know. It is a little chilly out there today.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
A forty five degrees in Bartlesville, forty three in Coffeeville.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Right now are foot lines you guys in the weather? Well,
I tell you it's gonna get down cold tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
I'm sure we'll talk about some precautions to take in
freezing weather. It's gonna get down to about thirty one
in Barnolsville, not too bad, not too bad.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
It's probably about thirty in Coffeeville.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
But just before we get into our program for our
Bartlesville listeners, I do need to let you know about
something news wise. Right now, Bartleswool police are in an
active pursuit for a car that will not stop. So
they just a couple of minutes ago heading down Frank
Phillips towards the west side of town. So if you
(01:43):
see that, I see a bunch of blinking lights, you
might want to let them get on by.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
And if you're the driver of the car, please pull over.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
That's why I drive it older vehicle, because if you
just turn it off. Yeah, if something goes wrong, that's
exactly it.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
That's exactly it.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
So of course we will continue to monitor that situation
in Bartlesville. If you have garden related questions, phone lines
are open nine eight three three six fourteen hundred nine
and eight three three six fourteen hundred. Well, Larry, it
is November. First big time change coming tonight. We got
a freeze watch that is in effect for at least
northeast Oklahoma.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
What time is that supposed to take that at two
o'clock in the morning, Okay, sure to be awake. I
know you'll still because it's really cool with the earth
wobbles like that. It's really oh yeah, pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Oh yeah, always fun, always fun. So uh, as far as.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
You know, November the first, everybody's getting into the mindset
of you know, we're in the middle of fall.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
I mean, all of that kind stuff the earth. Oh
there you go, there you go.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
But you know what, we do have a phone call
already this morning. Good morning, you're on the air with
Green Country Gardener.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
How can we help you?
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Yes, I got an area that's shaded by trees that
I'd like to put either fescue or Kentucky grass. And
is it too late soil temperature wise to put in
cool weather grass?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yeah, soil temperature wise, No, the soil temperatre is up
pretty good right now. However, it's going to get a
little chili here and you'll have some success with it.
Typically you want to do it about a month ago,
so it'll get you know, hard blade and broad blade
before the cold weather hits. So you'll have some pretty
good luck with it if the weather stays fairly warm.
(03:28):
But if it starts to get really cold, like wintery
kind of cold weather, you could have some difficulty with
it getting established. So it's a coin toss really whether
or not you want to do it now. So I
would say grass isn't that expensive, Just go ahead and
give it a shot, okay.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
And if I have to do it in the spring,
do you recommend March or April or.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Yeah, February March would be a good time because it
starts starting to warm up. Then you want to make
sure the ground temperature is kind of warm too. On
that if we have a really cold winter, if the
ground is really cold, and then you might want to
delay it a little bit.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
So all righty, thank you.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Very thanks, thank you so much for the call today.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
And yes, it is going to get cold tonight, thirty
degrees here in Bartlesville, upper twenties. In the outlying areas
Coffeeville is also going to be add to thirty miles
proud if.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
You want to If you want to establish in grass,
so you might want to rent a jackhammer and our soil, yeah,
get hard.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
A little hard.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Well, speaking of that, what should we be doing in
the garden right now that won't take a jackhammer.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
It's one of the best times for landscaping, plant and
trees and shrubs and all that. Don't forget the birds
for the winter. Of course, it's getting a little well,
not too dry at this point, but sometimes it gets
a little dry this time of year. Probably one or
two more or more go rounds with them ower and
you want to get a drain and put to sleep
for the winter. That is, run it until it runs
out of gas. Yeah, and you know it always takes
(04:56):
twice as much time for that to happen, and it
does halfway through the fill it up. But if you
ever want to run it till it runs dry, it
takes like three days. Yeah about that. But anyway you
want to try to do that. If if you use
a fuel stabilizer, you should do. Okay, that's what I
(05:19):
do with I put it on it in my gas
tank every time big you know gas can I guess
and stabilizer in it, and I don't have any problems.
But but yeah, you do kind of want to run
it a little bit.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
That's a good idea because you know, getting that of
course gas will freeze because there's enough water content in there.
And and because because of that, you want to make
sure that you either drain your tank as you said,
or or put some of that stabilizer.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Yeah, I like to use the regular gas doesn't have
any alcohol in it. Yep, yep, yeah, I guess my
more off that habit. So there's better. You don't need
an alcoholic an clip halfway through, you know.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Oh my goodness, that's so much funny.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Now as far as uh, those who have watering systems,
irrigation systems, those types of things, uh, you know, we
are going to have that that freeze. It's not too
bad of a freeze tonight. What what advice would you
have for people who have in ground sprinklers or.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Just just turn it off right now to the point
and most of them is help draining. So you have
little little drain valves on the on the sprinkler, on
the pipe, and we're using a high density probably ethylene.
So if you're forget it won't hurt your thinks.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Yeah, that's that's good.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
However, the main line, what we call the static line,
if you don't have a master valve, the static line
is a line that distributes water from the water source
to the circuits. And if you don't have a master valve,
then you can have some problems. So you have with
with freezing, but that's not gonna happen till January.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Right, exactly exactly.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
That's the thing that to to to remember, folks. I
mean even during the colder months. What about watering your
your launch?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Would you do it if it's dry? Yeah? Yeah, although
I should be wasting your money. But anyway, if exacticate moisture.
And also, and we've done some irrigation systems where you
run a sleeve under a driveway and the sleeve is
only just barely under there. Yeah, and you're running a
big old plastic pipe through there and a low voltage
(07:34):
lighting and one hundred and twenty volts and irrigation wires
underneath there. Imagine if that pipe were a crack from
the from the freeze, what a pain in the neck.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Yes, so, and maybe another parts of the body too,
not just the net.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
I could I think that I could say that and
be safe with you. You might hurt your feet too,
That's that is true. So what I do is my
customers and they run into that. We connect an air
compressor to the backflope venter and air it up and
run the timer. The sprinter balbs work similarly with air
(08:10):
as they do water. In other words, it open clothes
just as they were. Water. Fascinating how that works. And
that'll clear out that that mainline. So typically you have
an above ground backflope of venture and on there these
little litttle quarter and spickets. You can adapt a popping
thing for your air compressor and turn it on. Just
run the timer, turn off the water first. This high
(08:33):
pressure water, so you want to make sure the water's
turned off, and then go ahead and run the run
the air through it, and that'll clear out. I got
to do two of them this weekend this week. So
they have that that shallow sleeve under the driveway, so
(08:53):
we have to throw it out of you. That's right anyway,
So that's on that. Trees and shrubs. Just make sure
we have adequate water, and I think with the precipitation
we've been having, I think that's pretty much given at
this point, so I wouldn't worry too much about water.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Yeah, we've been very lucky around here for this year
has been pretty wet.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Yeah, very good summer otherwise. And your annuals they're still alive,
which is for this time of here is pretty good. Yeah,
here's November and we've still got flowers everywhere.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
You and I were just talking about your house too, exactly.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Yeah, we were just talking about that before we went
on air.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
My pigonias and my white impatients that have in my
front flower bed are still just absolutely.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Next year, if you guys could bring us some good weather,
periodic rain and not just degrees.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
It's always the blame on the weather guy. I tell you, we're.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Going to take our first two minute time out here
in just a moment, and when we come back here
to Green Country Gardener, let me just going to walk
us through kind of these steps that you need to
be going through here in the first week of November,

Speaker 3 (12:25):
Yeah, welcome back to Green Country Gardener here on K
one and KGGF. Nathan Thompson in studio with our gardening
expert Larry Glass. If you have a question about your garden,
please give us a call. Nine and eight to fourteen hundred.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Still time to plants spring, flowering bowls and pansies and kaleh.
Ground temperature still fairly warm, so we can go ahead
and plant. Some of the lewill establisher. Well, keep in
mind all the panzies do like kind of a loose soil,
kind of't do well in the clay. Yeah, make sure
the ground does good loose for them. Kale plants also
kind of the same thing. The cabbage plants. It hasn't
(13:00):
really been cold enough for them to turn color yet.
It's been a little bit of a hard cell. Now
that we've had getting some cooler weather, they change all
these really nice red and purple colors and.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
So and white even something yes, beautiful, beautiful addition.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
So in the first week right now, you want to
fertilize your cool season grasses one more time. At least
the fescue grass just loves it's cooler weather. Yes, And
you can also lower the mowor a little bit on
that too. You don't have to have it so tall
right now. Good, it's not so hot and the ground
is not that hot. When the sun shines on it,
it will burn up the roots.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
But still, you don't want to scalp your yard.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Right, No, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
All right, I'm guilty of that one. Anyway.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
I also want to fertilize those cool season grasses. Of course,
you want to remove leaves from cool seasoned grasses, or
maybe mow it with a multimore or something. Anyway, if
you got a lot of leaves on the ground, it's
not good on your fescue grass. They've got little leaf
flower work pretty well too, or a rake, a rake.
Can you imagine when we were kids use rake?
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Well, right now, I've got tree limbs. Right now, I
have tree limbs, leaves, and pecans all over the place.
But I tell you, the little squirrels are loving my
yard right now.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Well, the wildlife is loving it because they're building nests
out of the twigs.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Yeah, of course, I'm just I am. That's that's the
way I go by.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
I'm contributing to my okay, my natural critic. They come
by my bedroom window every one every night, and I
can hear them yelling, right, I literally can't. I'm like,
what is that going on? And it's it's normally.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Something right while it's when it's relatively warm. You can
use a broadly weak control for dandelions and things if
you use the pre emergent. So it's probably too late
to put down any pre emergent for the hand bit
and chick weed. I know that first hand.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
I do too.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
That's so busy, I just forget about it and get
oh my god, I'm just all that it's too late
to put it on now. So at least sure you
have an excuse of being too busy. I'm just too bazy. H. Now,
if your plants aren't doing really well, it's a good
time to think about a soil test, maybe to check
for pH issues and maybe nutrient deficiencies in your soil.
(15:20):
The soil test will give you a good basis for knowledge,
is for what to do if your plants aren't doing
very well. So it's a good idea to do that
right now. It does take a while for things like
lyme or even iron sulfate to work to alter the
chemistry the soil. So if you did have difficulty with
growing some annuals or some things, maybe something is just
(15:40):
not quite right. Yeah, the chemistry of the soil.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
That's true.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
And for the most part in our area, Larry, is
our soil more alkaline or acidic.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
It depends on where you live, of course, of course
it does. If your address is in the thirteen hundreds,
is probably acid the way it goes. But no, there
are parts of town where it is a pH. You
can be five and a half. Wow in other parts
where it's like baking so.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Interesting.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
So really, if you've seen a geologic map of this area, yeah,
it looks like some nineteen sixty cycle things. It's really
amazing how many variations we get in our soil type here.
And so that's that's kind of one reason why you
want if your stuff just isn't performing well, it's doing.
(16:34):
It's probably why we did a landscape job this year
and they had cannons in their yard and they were probably,
I don't know, four or five feet tall. So we
prepped the soil up and you know, make sure the
chemistry was right, and well they're eight feet Yeah, they've
spread and grown. And what we're going to do with
all these now?
Speaker 3 (16:53):
See, yeah, canns, my goodness, one of my favorites. I
wish I could grow them. That brings back memories of
my uh my uncle in Louisiana.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
He had a whole bunch.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
So anyway, let's make sure your foil test is correct.
Nutrients so correct, soil pH and you might want to
do a little just have an analysis done. He'll tell
you what it needs to do. A lot of times
you're going to find our soil that's kind of deficient
and iron here and there too, So that helps get
that all fixed up too. Pine cot pine cones, if
(17:27):
you got pines on the ground, uh and there. If
your pine cone be sure pine trees are infested with
Diplodia or Dolphus rouma. You want to pune out the
dead tips of the plants. In other words, if the
tips of your pine trees just didn't really grow, you
might want to consider cutting those out. That could be
a fungus problem. What about it, it's the whole thing
(17:52):
is brown.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
You got you got a problem there?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Yeah, yeah, firewood and so you want to try to
get the stump out to a possible We dug out
two big old stump yesterday on the project we're doing. Jeez,
that's okay. Your annual plants you can you can and
leaves you don't want to spot your compost disease plants. No,
(18:17):
those your tomatoes, you don't want to compost those. You
want to throw them out. Tomato is because sometimes they
can carry diseases and so on. You don't want to
carry that on the next next year too. So your
annual plants, I just like to throw them out really
and use the compost comes in a bag. It's pretty
good stuff. It's probably why these cannons are It could
be could be kind of outgrew their specification in it.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Well, yeah, yeah, I did something. I did something this year, Larry.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
I probably shouldn't have done my my potted plants, like
I had some petunias and I had a very nice
arrangement done. Of course, they they got to the point
where they're gone now and I just them away. I
probably should have composted, Probably should have, but I didn't.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Yeah, but that's okay.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
You'll forgive me, right.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Yeah, when I do that, I just throw them out,
and you're already running over, running over with a snapper.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
I should do that.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
That does a pretty good Certainly do that. Let's say,
compost your annual debris and leaves, but do not compost
disease flat parts. November fifteenth and March fifteenth the best
time to prune most of the trees and shrubs.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Yeah, there you go. Hey, we've got a call. Good morning,
you're on the air with Green Country Gardener. How can
we help you?
Speaker 11 (19:35):

November first on K one kyat K one and k
G g F Nathan Thompson, Larry Glass in studio get
our open lines right now nine went eight three three
six fourteen hundred. Larry, what else is going on?
Speaker 2 (24:37):
We're discussing our pruning trees and shrubs and when you
cut cut things back, you know, I always want to
cut it at a node. And what's a node. That's
that's where a branch or leaf comes out on the stem.
And you notice on that on those area there's just
kind of kind of some wrinkly tissue right there. Well,
that's the the stuff that's going to encapsulate the wound.
(24:57):
When you cut something, it's a wound, yep. So if
you cut it in the middle, it really won't it
doesn't have the tissue to do that. So you want
to go real close to where branches where there's a
leaf coming out when you do some pruning. That way
you can heal over quickly and keep all the little
critters and diseases out here playing too. So now's now's
a good time for pruning and all that. So that's
(25:20):
good to know. That's good to know. I need to
do a bunch of pruning too.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
But I just I don't know. We were talking about
during during the break, we're talking about to you.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Let the storms do the prune. I do.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
I mean, it's it's in.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
He's over here breaking my equipment today, My goodness, gracious,
left and right, let's see.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Yeah, I think I think maybe the.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
Other side right.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
We don't know if everything comes in backwards.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
I don't know exactly exactly. On an a M talker,
I don't think we have too much to worry about
as far as sary.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
But anyway, we we were talking during the break about
my neighbor and some of the landscaping that he's done,
so what what we are. We're in that timeframe where
we need to do some things for our landscape that's.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Already prepared in the landscape for winter. Yeah, check out your
mulch and see if you've got sufficient quantity of mult
on the ground. What moult does is it moderates peaks
and valleys in moisture and temperature. So these plants don't
singer every year. Every once in a while I gets notund.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Like twelve blows zero sometimes.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
And golly, that's kind of hard on plants because they're
not used to that. We're north and we're south. We're
kind of in between.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Just like our bodies are. Our human bodies. We're not
used to that, So imagine what the shock is to
your plants.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
So preparation and winter is important, and that is having.
What what the molts does is it helps moderate peaks
and valleys in moisture content. And it also helps moderate
peaks and valleys and temperature on the roots. When we
had that cold spell when it was I think four
hundred and fifty nine degrees below zero that one year,
I was at a building downtown and the box was
(27:10):
all got killed off, except the ones that were close
to the down spouts. There was enough water from the
down spouts to keep the moisture levels up. Those did fine.
They made it fine through the cold winter. So it
be prepared and we know pretty much in advance what
the weather's going to do. Weather Service is getting pretty
good about pretty stuff. Yeah, I missed the boat this
(27:32):
morning on the little tinkle rain we had. But I
said last night before I left, because I was on
the night shift last night, we have a twenty percent
chance of showers. Oh they were right then, thank you, Okay,
you can thank me, all right, thank you. But anyway,
(27:55):
so if we do have a cold spell coming on,
you want to go ahead and wan are your plants through?
We'll disconnect the hose, let it drain, and make sure
that the fasces turned off, et cetera, et cetera. So
so you plumbing will survivedal Yes, you don't. I don't.
You don't believe how many people's houses we go to
the this timing the hoses are on the faucets and
(28:15):
not why I'll take them off when I'm there, Yeah,
because people just forget and a sudden there's water coming in.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Yeah, but before before I go to bed tonight, I'm
actually gonna take my hose off because I do have
I have a hose hooked up to ah.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
What are those called?
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Timer?
Speaker 4 (28:36):
No, it's not a timer, it's uh.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Yeah, one of those splitter the black the black hose
with holes. A well, who in the world will buy
a hosel of holes?
Speaker 13 (28:50):
So soaker, that's it?
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Yes, Uh so I I have I have a soccer
hose that that runs through my my flower bed and.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
It's is well if you forget, that's okay because it's
a full of whole little drain.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
That's that's yeah, okay, so I can just keep.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
My No, I wouldn't do that anyway.
Speaker 13 (29:10):
Yeah, but Larry told me, no.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
No, no, no, just make sure everything's just kidding because it
could freeze down there, and if you have a tiny
little drip in your hose, it can cast some issues,
I mean on your faucets, so cast some problems also
winter rising the sprinkler system. So you want to make
sure to do that. Do we discussed it earlier, we did,
But typically a good sprinkler system it's a simple thing
to do.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
Really, so it is a simple thing to do.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
However, there's all these valves and the hops that turned
and some people get overwhelmed by all that. But yeah, yeah,
so called pro pro. Yeah. Typically there's a valve underground
where you turn it off, and then there's an above
ground thing by code, and that has to be a
little pecocks have to open up and drained, and that
(29:56):
should be a problem.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
But the keyword there is by code.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
It used to be we can put those on the ground,
but they change the building code that in case there's
a fire next door when they you don't want to
be pulling in groundwater.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
That's exactly it, exactly.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
And introduce air into it, and the pump won't work
on the pumper truck, et cetera, et cetera. So that's
why we have atmospheric vacuum breakers on our sprinkler systems
right now and above ground so they can be easily
serviced and easily frozen.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
Very good, Very good.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Well, when we come back from our next two minute break,
we're going to talk about what's going on at Green
Thumb Nursery. And then Larry's got some frequently asked questions
that normally occur here during this time frame, like when
are the leaves gonna change? All that good stuff We'll
be talking about that next after this two minute break.

Welcome back to Green Country Gardener. We're rocking and rolling
here on K one KGGF. Nathan Thompson, Larry Glass. If
you have a call, give us a call. Nine and
eight three three six fourteen hundred nine eight three three
six fourteen hundred anything dealing with your garden or landscaping, Larry,
what's going on at the nurses?
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Nice slicky mums? Kancies kale? Kale. It's something you eat,
you know, Yeah, it is something you can eat. I saw.
I saw the episode of Star Trek one time. They're
going through a park and they're eating kale. Just you
like that.
Speaker 15 (33:46):
You know.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
It's kind of bitter. Yes, it is, and it is
a good job to not make it look like it's bad.
So it actually grows on other planets too.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
Oh yeah, according to the Star Truk universe. We know,
we know that's.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
All fact anyway, And it tastes really good.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
Over the area, different fulc and soil.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
The k the kale plants, they have these leaves on
them and they change color when it gets cold. Wen't
really haven't had that yet, but when you put them
on the ground, you get some color in the wintertime.
It's kind of nice by the front door somewhere when
you walk into move so just to have something pretty,
you know, out of the garden. Also a fall color
shark like bernie bush and nandinas and Japanese sweet spitsctera.
(34:41):
We've got some stuff that turns color in the wintertime too.
Hello bores too. Hella bores is a perennial plant. Despite
the name, it's a very very good little plant and
it flowers in the midst of winter, typically the end
of winter, so it'll have some bloom blowing too.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
What about as far as those who are wanting to
plan to replace their potted plants besides moms, I mean,
I know with moms you can keep those in a
pot that that that has become such a common plant
this time of year. Are there any other things that
people can use that are still good just.
Speaker 4 (35:19):
In a pot for both fall and winter.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
We did some pots for a customer and we use
a flowering kale in the middle and pansies around the outside,
and those will will survive the winter. It's on the
west side of the house too, Okay, good, we'll get
some warmth on it. Some of the patios get some
morning fun too. Yeah, so I just have to keep
water and all that. But yeah, they'll survive and do fine.
They might look a little a little ragged. If it
(35:43):
gets really really cold, you might get the dolly up,
maybe put them in the ground. If it's going to
get you know, three hundred degrees blow zero.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
That never happens around here.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
About The cutoff point is about fifteen degrees or so.
So if it's going to get cold, you want to
through in a container. Can uh wheel him into the
garage and just leave the buy out in the driveway?
Speaker 3 (36:08):
Stout play it's in the garage, not your car. Yeah, okay,
you can tell Larry's a gardener, definitely. You were talking
in a previous segment when we had that collar.
Speaker 4 (36:17):
About seating grass. It's a little late you said on that.
So uh but what about so.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
It side is okay? Okay, yea uh. The bermuda grass,
you might have some die off in the winter because
all the rents are really on top of the ground.
But fescue grass survived no problem at Allis of grass
is hardy way up north, so it'll it'll do fine.
But you might have some difficulty in the spring with
bermuda grass emerging. Now, you can alleviate that somewhat by
(36:44):
rolling it and watering it real good and with a
with a roller and make sure the integrated heavily into
the soil. If you just roll it up on the
top of the ground, you go inside and watch the
football game, it's not going to survive the winter. You
have to get it integrated into the soil. So that
means some soil prep uh, shallow chilling of the soil
(37:06):
or adding soil to the surface so it has good
contact with the ground right right. It needs that integration
into there to keep the temperature more moderated.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
You just don't want to lay it down like a carpet,
is what you're.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Saying, right right. You want to roll it in and
water it in, roll it and all that and then
it'll do a lot better. But for menograph, yeah, it can.
You get get some sporadic die off from the winter
if it gets really cold, so just be prepared for that.
But it'll it'll grow and fill in by the end
of day. It'll be a grapnywhere you go. But you
do want to do what you can because it's kind
(37:41):
of a big investment. And water, you know, water and
personal label labeled pretty cheap.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
You know, it's so funny because I I watched the
TV shows, you know, every once in a while and
where people roll out new sod and then they don't
do what they need to do, and then they get
all mad because and blame the person who put it
down because they didn't water it.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
So, oh, I just put a new sod down now
and now it's dead. Well, you didn't do what you
needed to do, did you.
Speaker 12 (38:11):
Well?
Speaker 2 (38:11):
Yeah, the maintenance is the deal. When you're like that,
you have to water daily. And then yeah, as a root,
you lift up the corner and see what the roots
are doing, and when they're starting to get into the soil,
you can back off on the watering a little bit.
It's really you're watering a very thin veneer of soil
and grass initially when you put down the sod. So
it's gonna need some periodic watering and you can check
(38:32):
it with you if you ever raise a child, you
know it's actually it's wet.
Speaker 4 (38:41):
That's a good.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
That's a good. If it gets dry. If it gets dry,
you need to water it. So yeah, that's pretty simple.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
What about Uh, well, go ahead, succulents what about succulents
of plants.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
I like to use those in the landscape and association
with boulders and rocks and things. They kind of like
it sort of dry, right, they're kind of pretty probably
not maybe not the best time for succulents, But you
want to plantos maybe in the spring, Okay, okay, Well
they're not really established yet.
Speaker 3 (39:12):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I gotcha, I gotcha. Camellias, what about them?
Speaker 2 (39:17):
Chameilias are starting to put in some blooms right now
at this point. If there's any place in the world
where chamelias won't grow, this is this is one of them.
Speaker 4 (39:28):
But you included it on your list that you gave.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
They can but you have to do some soil prep
and lots and lots of molts. We had them in
Georgia when I was a kid. There there are you know,
two s huge plant. Yes, yes, but but here are
our soil pH is too high for them and the
soil structure is not They don't like it, so we
have to modify the soil. And there are some varieties
(39:51):
of the Japanese ones that are that are hardy enough
to live here. But keep in mind they need some
special care. And some special preparation, so be prepared to
mulch them fairly heavily going into the winter. There you go,
and annually put down on a Zelu type fertilizer to
keep the soil pH down about five and a half.
Then they'll do just fine.
Speaker 4 (40:11):
There you go, There you go.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
But they don't like it out there, you know, in
a prairie, you know, or on the west side of
the house. So these will tend to score it real bad. Right,
So you want to pick an area that's pretty well
protected from familiars.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
And I mean we are talking about green Thumb nursery here,
but you also have some some decore items like wind
chimes as well.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
Although the tune wind chimes are so nice, yeah, and
we usually fell out of them easily around Christmas.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
So it's gonna be a good time.
Speaker 4 (40:41):
Gonna be a good time.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
Well, when we come back from our final two minute break,
we're going to do some frequently asked questions for this
time of year. You're listening to Green Country Gardener here
on K one and k GGF back after this two
minute break.
Speaker 17 (40:55):
In nineteen thirty, Frank Phillips received a very special gift
from some dear friends. During a ceremony surrounded by fifteen
hundred guests, Frank was adopted into the Osage tribe by
Chief Fred Lookout and given the name of Eagle Chief
by the Osage. This marked the first time that the
Osage had ever adopted a white person into their tribe.
(41:17):
Chief Lookout gave the newest Osage chief the gift of
a pony, a saddle and a single eagle feather. The
saddle had been in Lookout's family for over one hundred years.
Frank Phillips received a telegram from a famous man and
dear friend saying sorry, I can't make it. The Osage
were always the smartest Indians in America.
Speaker 6 (41:38):
There are one.
Speaker 17 (41:39):
Hundred and twenty million white men, and they pick out
the best one to make an Osage chief. Best regards

Speaker 18 (43:04):
We're in a funky mood this morning here on Green Country.
Speaker 3 (43:16):
Gardener Nathan Thomson in studio with Larry Glass, our gardening professional,
if you have a call for our question for him
and give us a call nine when eight three three
six fourteen hundred nine and eight three three six fourteen
hundred Now, Larry, as we are getting, you know, into
the middle part of fall. Now, some of our trees
in our area are starting to change color. Others are
(43:37):
still very very green, and of course that is because
of different varieties of plants that we have in these areas.
Some are natives and some are non native. For the
new landscapers put in, I'm getting with you, but you
know one thing, and it's something that we've learned, you know,
back in biology and all of that about how what
(43:59):
causes the color change in leaves in the bull.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
First of all, a tree or a plant takes six
carbon dioxide and six water CO two and water and
makes six H twelve O six and a byproduct is oxygen. Yes,
So anyway, then they take that and it goes down
to the roots and it's stored in the winter or
(44:24):
in the roofs, so they can you know, survive by
and just be happy.
Speaker 3 (44:28):
You know, it's important to have happy little trees, right,
and Frosts would.
Speaker 2 (44:34):
Say the excess is turned into starch and short and
so needed. And as the daylight gets a little bit shorter,
turned the the the plants begin to shut down their
food production, their their photosynthesis, it's called, and then they
try to absorb as much of the carbohydrates they can
(44:55):
out of the leaves. And what's left or cyanothans, cyanathins
are what makes care. It's orange and beats red and
so on. Well, those are present in the leaves too,
and that's just what's left and it becomes more apparent,
and that's how we get fall color.
Speaker 4 (45:11):
There you go, there you go.
Speaker 2 (45:12):
So and then over time the leaves when the days
get short, of the leaf abscess. There's a layer between
the leaf itself and the stem because the apposition layer
when when things get cold and they gets shorter, the
tissues in their convert to corky material. Then they fall off.
Speaker 4 (45:31):
There you go, there you go.
Speaker 3 (45:32):
So, uh it as far as you know, and this
is just for for people who are are basic who
don't know much about tree varieties. So oak, oak trees,
what what color?
Speaker 4 (45:46):
What color do their leave has change to?
Speaker 2 (45:48):
So typically some of them don't turn it all and
there's some the northern red oak and some others stuff
like that. Yeah, they do exhibit some color in the fall.
Is highly dependent on the temperature too, and the link
to day, et cetera, et cetera. The length to day
is a primary stimulus for them to shut down for
the winter. And then when it gets cold, the colder
(46:11):
gets earlier. It gets the better of the wall color
because the Yanathan's stay in the leaf when it's cold early.
But I think this year everything's just going to fall off.
I think I think you're right, Yeah, because because it's
been warm for so long and typically by now first
of November that we're showing some good color and we're
still everything's green, yeah everything. I noticed my pistache tree
(46:31):
in the front is starting to show some color on it,
and some of the maples around town are starting to
show a little bit of color too, So I think
we're going to have some colored leaf.
Speaker 4 (46:40):
Do Elm trees do they do? They change color?
Speaker 2 (46:44):
I don't. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.
Speaker 4 (46:48):
Here I am I'm quizzing yelling.
Speaker 2 (46:50):
Now the Chinese down can change. That can be orange
or it can be purple, depending on the on the
weather and how how the plant how the Syanathans reabsorbed
into the roots and all that. But anyway, so they
can have some good color on some of them turned
orange color and some of yellow primarily, but yellow it's
a primary color for the Chinese typically has some good
(47:13):
color on it.
Speaker 4 (47:14):
Cottonwoods, what about them?
Speaker 2 (47:15):
Cut them down.
Speaker 4 (47:21):
See you're gonna get some honesty.
Speaker 2 (47:24):
Yeah, cottonwood that that is not one of yellow color
kind of fall off there you go.
Speaker 4 (47:29):
Let's see what uh.
Speaker 3 (47:32):
Now as you get out into the os chills and
all that, a lot of black jack out there, right,
So what what?
Speaker 12 (47:39):
What?
Speaker 4 (47:40):
What are the colors that we can.
Speaker 2 (47:40):
Do if they have some really cold weather. The colors
are really really brilliant, but we don't know.
Speaker 4 (47:48):
There you go, all right, what about the flowering pear trees?
Speaker 2 (47:51):
They don't do anything.
Speaker 3 (47:52):
They don't do anything at all except to cause a
massive stint across the area and the story and take it.
Speaker 2 (48:00):
Take out that that was that was actually quite the
thing back in the seventies.
Speaker 4 (48:03):
Oh, it certainly was early eighties. I remember.
Speaker 3 (48:05):
I remember the first my childhood home here in downtown Bartlesville. Uh,
my parents planted a a pear tree, a flowering pear tree,
Bartley Pair Bradford.
Speaker 4 (48:20):
That's it. I knew it was one of those, and
uh yeah it it was pretty. But the moment you
get high wind or some of that kind of stuff,
it just falls apart.
Speaker 2 (48:33):
Yeah. They they started out as a rather disease resistant tree,
and we had one cold spell one winter and they
got track notes really bad.
Speaker 4 (48:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (48:44):
That their immunity, I guess has limits. There you go,
and they were weakened by the cold and they got diseases.
So there you go.
Speaker 4 (48:52):
Well so we we can we can still see.
Speaker 3 (48:53):
I mean, it's of course here we're in in Oklahoma,
Kansas and those areas, I mean, the cooler temperatures tend
to be a little bit later on in the year,
so we don't typically get a huge display of fall foliage.
You can, like in the osh Hills, you know, you
go down to southeast Oklahoma down through the Washita Mountains
(49:15):
and those areas just gorgeous this time of year. And
if your pine tree starts to change color, you got
a problem.
Speaker 2 (49:23):
Yeah, just sharp with your change. Anyway, all the key
factors are in place here as far as good color
is concerned. Yep, with the exception of cooler weather.
Speaker 4 (49:34):

Speaker 3 (00:35):
And good morning, Welcome to Green Country Gardener here on
K one and k GGF.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
Nathan Thompson in studio with our gardening.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Expert on this Chili Saturday, November first, Larry Glass in
studio doing some sniffling over there.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
He's got his hoodie on, he's ready to go. I know,
I know. It is a little chilly out there today.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
A forty five degrees in Bartlesville, forty three in Coffeeville.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Right now are foot lines you guys in the weather? Well,
I tell you it's gonna get down cold tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
I'm sure we'll talk about some precautions to take in
freezing weather. It's gonna get down to about thirty one
in Barnolsville, not too bad, not too bad.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
It's probably about thirty in Coffeeville.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
But just before we get into our program for our
Bartlesville listeners, I do need to let you know about
something news wise. Right now, Bartleswool police are in an
active pursuit for a car that will not stop. So
they just a couple of minutes ago heading down Frank
Phillips towards the west side of town. So if you
(01:43):
see that, I see a bunch of blinking lights, you
might want to let them get on by.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
And if you're the driver of the car, please pull over.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
That's why I drive it older vehicle, because if you
just turn it off. Yeah, if something goes wrong, that's
exactly it.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
That's exactly it.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
So of course we will continue to monitor that situation
in Bartlesville. If you have garden related questions, phone lines
are open nine eight three three six fourteen hundred nine
and eight three three six fourteen hundred. Well, Larry, it
is November. First big time change coming tonight. We got
a freeze watch that is in effect for at least
northeast Oklahoma.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
What time is that supposed to take that at two
o'clock in the morning, Okay, sure to be awake. I
know you'll still because it's really cool with the earth
wobbles like that. It's really oh yeah, pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Oh yeah, always fun, always fun. So uh, as far as.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
You know, November the first, everybody's getting into the mindset
of you know, we're in the middle of fall.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
I mean, all of that kind stuff the earth. Oh
there you go, there you go.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
But you know what, we do have a phone call
already this morning. Good morning, you're on the air with
Green Country Gardener.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
How can we help you?
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Yes, I got an area that's shaded by trees that
I'd like to put either fescue or Kentucky grass. And
is it too late soil temperature wise to put in
cool weather grass?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yeah, soil temperature wise, No, the soil temperatre is up
pretty good right now. However, it's going to get a
little chili here and you'll have some success with it.
Typically you want to do it about a month ago,
so it'll get you know, hard blade and broad blade
before the cold weather hits. So you'll have some pretty
good luck with it if the weather stays fairly warm.
(03:28):
But if it starts to get really cold, like wintery
kind of cold weather, you could have some difficulty with
it getting established. So it's a coin toss really whether
or not you want to do it now. So I
would say grass isn't that expensive, Just go ahead and
give it a shot, okay.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
And if I have to do it in the spring,
do you recommend March or April or.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Yeah, February March would be a good time because it
starts starting to warm up. Then you want to make
sure the ground temperature is kind of warm too. On
that if we have a really cold winter, if the
ground is really cold, and then you might want to
delay it a little bit.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
So all righty, thank you.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Very thanks, thank you so much for the call today.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
And yes, it is going to get cold tonight, thirty
degrees here in Bartlesville, upper twenties. In the outlying areas
Coffeeville is also going to be add to thirty miles
proud if.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
You want to If you want to establish in grass,
so you might want to rent a jackhammer and our soil, yeah,
get hard.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
A little hard.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Well, speaking of that, what should we be doing in
the garden right now that won't take a jackhammer.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
It's one of the best times for landscaping, plant and
trees and shrubs and all that. Don't forget the birds
for the winter. Of course, it's getting a little well,
not too dry at this point, but sometimes it gets
a little dry this time of year. Probably one or
two more or more go rounds with them ower and
you want to get a drain and put to sleep
for the winter. That is, run it until it runs
out of gas. Yeah, and you know it always takes
(04:56):
twice as much time for that to happen, and it
does halfway through the fill it up. But if you
ever want to run it till it runs dry, it
takes like three days. Yeah about that. But anyway you
want to try to do that. If if you use
a fuel stabilizer, you should do. Okay, that's what I
(05:19):
do with I put it on it in my gas
tank every time big you know gas can I guess
and stabilizer in it, and I don't have any problems.
But but yeah, you do kind of want to run
it a little bit.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
That's a good idea because you know, getting that of
course gas will freeze because there's enough water content in there.
And and because because of that, you want to make
sure that you either drain your tank as you said,
or or put some of that stabilizer.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Yeah, I like to use the regular gas doesn't have
any alcohol in it. Yep, yep, yeah, I guess my
more off that habit. So there's better. You don't need
an alcoholic an clip halfway through, you know.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Oh my goodness, that's so much funny.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Now as far as uh, those who have watering systems,
irrigation systems, those types of things, uh, you know, we
are going to have that that freeze. It's not too
bad of a freeze tonight. What what advice would you
have for people who have in ground sprinklers or.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Just just turn it off right now to the point
and most of them is help draining. So you have
little little drain valves on the on the sprinkler, on
the pipe, and we're using a high density probably ethylene.
So if you're forget it won't hurt your thinks.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Yeah, that's that's good.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
However, the main line, what we call the static line,
if you don't have a master valve, the static line
is a line that distributes water from the water source
to the circuits. And if you don't have a master valve,
then you can have some problems. So you have with
with freezing, but that's not gonna happen till January.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Right, exactly exactly.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
That's the thing that to to to remember, folks. I
mean even during the colder months. What about watering your
your launch?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Would you do it if it's dry? Yeah? Yeah, although
I should be wasting your money. But anyway, if exacticate moisture.
And also, and we've done some irrigation systems where you
run a sleeve under a driveway and the sleeve is
only just barely under there. Yeah, and you're running a
big old plastic pipe through there and a low voltage
(07:34):
lighting and one hundred and twenty volts and irrigation wires
underneath there. Imagine if that pipe were a crack from
the from the freeze, what a pain in the neck.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Yes, so, and maybe another parts of the body too,
not just the net.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
I could I think that I could say that and
be safe with you. You might hurt your feet too,
That's that is true. So what I do is my
customers and they run into that. We connect an air
compressor to the backflope venter and air it up and
run the timer. The sprinter balbs work similarly with air
(08:10):
as they do water. In other words, it open clothes
just as they were. Water. Fascinating how that works. And
that'll clear out that that mainline. So typically you have
an above ground backflope of venture and on there these
little litttle quarter and spickets. You can adapt a popping
thing for your air compressor and turn it on. Just
run the timer, turn off the water first. This high
(08:33):
pressure water, so you want to make sure the water's
turned off, and then go ahead and run the run
the air through it, and that'll clear out. I got
to do two of them this weekend this week. So
they have that that shallow sleeve under the driveway, so
(08:53):
we have to throw it out of you. That's right anyway,
So that's on that. Trees and shrubs. Just make sure
we have adequate water, and I think with the precipitation
we've been having, I think that's pretty much given at
this point, so I wouldn't worry too much about water.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Yeah, we've been very lucky around here for this year
has been pretty wet.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Yeah, very good summer otherwise. And your annuals they're still alive,
which is for this time of here is pretty good. Yeah,
here's November and we've still got flowers everywhere.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
You and I were just talking about your house too, exactly.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Yeah, we were just talking about that before we went
on air.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
My pigonias and my white impatients that have in my
front flower bed are still just absolutely.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Next year, if you guys could bring us some good weather,
periodic rain and not just degrees.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
It's always the blame on the weather guy. I tell you, we're.
Speaker 3 (09:48):

Speaker 3 (12:25):
Yeah, welcome back to Green Country Gardener here on K
one and KGGF. Nathan Thompson in studio with our gardening
expert Larry Glass. If you have a question about your garden,
please give us a call. Nine and eight to fourteen hundred.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Still time to plants spring, flowering bowls and pansies and kaleh.
Ground temperature still fairly warm, so we can go ahead
and plant. Some of the lewill establisher. Well, keep in
mind all the panzies do like kind of a loose soil,
kind of't do well in the clay. Yeah, make sure
the ground does good loose for them. Kale plants also
kind of the same thing. The cabbage plants. It hasn't
(13:00):
really been cold enough for them to turn color yet.
It's been a little bit of a hard cell. Now
that we've had getting some cooler weather, they change all
these really nice red and purple colors and.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
So and white even something yes, beautiful, beautiful addition.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
So in the first week right now, you want to
fertilize your cool season grasses one more time. At least
the fescue grass just loves it's cooler weather. Yes, And
you can also lower the mowor a little bit on
that too. You don't have to have it so tall
right now. Good, it's not so hot and the ground
is not that hot. When the sun shines on it,
it will burn up the roots.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
But still, you don't want to scalp your yard.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Right, No, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
All right, I'm guilty of that one. Anyway.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
I also want to fertilize those cool season grasses. Of course,
you want to remove leaves from cool seasoned grasses, or
maybe mow it with a multimore or something. Anyway, if
you got a lot of leaves on the ground, it's
not good on your fescue grass. They've got little leaf
flower work pretty well too, or a rake, a rake.
Can you imagine when we were kids use rake?
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Well, right now, I've got tree limbs. Right now, I
have tree limbs, leaves, and pecans all over the place.
But I tell you, the little squirrels are loving my
yard right now.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Well, the wildlife is loving it because they're building nests
out of the twigs.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Yeah, of course, I'm just I am. That's that's the
way I go by.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
I'm contributing to my okay, my natural critic. They come
by my bedroom window every one every night, and I
can hear them yelling, right, I literally can't. I'm like,
what is that going on? And it's it's normally.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Something right while it's when it's relatively warm. You can
use a broadly weak control for dandelions and things if
you use the pre emergent. So it's probably too late
to put down any pre emergent for the hand bit
and chick weed. I know that first hand.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
I do too.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
That's so busy, I just forget about it and get
oh my god, I'm just all that it's too late
to put it on now. So at least sure you
have an excuse of being too busy. I'm just too bazy. H. Now,
if your plants aren't doing really well, it's a good
time to think about a soil test, maybe to check
for pH issues and maybe nutrient deficiencies in your soil.
(15:20):
The soil test will give you a good basis for knowledge,
is for what to do if your plants aren't doing
very well. So it's a good idea to do that
right now. It does take a while for things like
lyme or even iron sulfate to work to alter the
chemistry the soil. So if you did have difficulty with
growing some annuals or some things, maybe something is just
(15:40):
not quite right. Yeah, the chemistry of the soil.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
That's true.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
And for the most part in our area, Larry, is
our soil more alkaline or acidic.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
It depends on where you live, of course, of course
it does. If your address is in the thirteen hundreds,
is probably acid the way it goes. But no, there
are parts of town where it is a pH. You
can be five and a half. Wow in other parts
where it's like baking so.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Interesting.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
So really, if you've seen a geologic map of this area, yeah,
it looks like some nineteen sixty cycle things. It's really
amazing how many variations we get in our soil type here.
And so that's that's kind of one reason why you
want if your stuff just isn't performing well, it's doing.
(16:34):
It's probably why we did a landscape job this year
and they had cannons in their yard and they were probably,
I don't know, four or five feet tall. So we
prepped the soil up and you know, make sure the
chemistry was right, and well they're eight feet Yeah, they've
spread and grown. And what we're going to do with
all these now?
Speaker 3 (16:53):
See, yeah, canns, my goodness, one of my favorites. I
wish I could grow them. That brings back memories of
my uh my uncle in Louisiana.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
He had a whole bunch.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
So anyway, let's make sure your foil test is correct.
Nutrients so correct, soil pH and you might want to
do a little just have an analysis done. He'll tell
you what it needs to do. A lot of times
you're going to find our soil that's kind of deficient
and iron here and there too, So that helps get
that all fixed up too. Pine cot pine cones, if
(17:27):
you got pines on the ground, uh and there. If
your pine cone be sure pine trees are infested with
Diplodia or Dolphus rouma. You want to pune out the
dead tips of the plants. In other words, if the
tips of your pine trees just didn't really grow, you
might want to consider cutting those out. That could be
a fungus problem. What about it, it's the whole thing
(17:52):
is brown.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
You got you got a problem there?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Yeah, yeah, firewood and so you want to try to
get the stump out to a possible We dug out
two big old stump yesterday on the project we're doing. Jeez,
that's okay. Your annual plants you can you can and
leaves you don't want to spot your compost disease plants. No,
(18:17):
those your tomatoes, you don't want to compost those. You
want to throw them out. Tomato is because sometimes they
can carry diseases and so on. You don't want to
carry that on the next next year too. So your
annual plants, I just like to throw them out really
and use the compost comes in a bag. It's pretty
good stuff. It's probably why these cannons are It could
be could be kind of outgrew their specification in it.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Well, yeah, yeah, I did something. I did something this year, Larry.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
I probably shouldn't have done my my potted plants, like
I had some petunias and I had a very nice
arrangement done. Of course, they they got to the point
where they're gone now and I just them away. I
probably should have composted, Probably should have, but I didn't.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Yeah, but that's okay.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
You'll forgive me, right.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Yeah, when I do that, I just throw them out,
and you're already running over, running over with a snapper.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
I should do that.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
That does a pretty good Certainly do that. Let's say,
compost your annual debris and leaves, but do not compost
disease flat parts. November fifteenth and March fifteenth the best
time to prune most of the trees and shrubs.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Yeah, there you go. Hey, we've got a call. Good morning,
you're on the air with Green Country Gardener. How can
we help you?
Speaker 11 (19:35):
Good morning there, Good morning. Well, I've got I've got

Welcome back to Green Country Gardener here on this Saturday,
November first on K one kyat K one and k
G g F Nathan Thompson, Larry Glass in studio get
our open lines right now nine went eight three three
six fourteen hundred. Larry, what else is going on?
Speaker 2 (24:37):
We're discussing our pruning trees and shrubs and when you
cut cut things back, you know, I always want to
cut it at a node. And what's a node. That's
that's where a branch or leaf comes out on the stem.
And you notice on that on those area there's just
kind of kind of some wrinkly tissue right there. Well,
that's the the stuff that's going to encapsulate the wound.
(24:57):
When you cut something, it's a wound, yep. So if
you cut it in the middle, it really won't it
doesn't have the tissue to do that. So you want
to go real close to where branches where there's a
leaf coming out when you do some pruning. That way
you can heal over quickly and keep all the little
critters and diseases out here playing too. So now's now's
a good time for pruning and all that. So that's
(25:20):
good to know. That's good to know. I need to
do a bunch of pruning too.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
But I just I don't know. We were talking about
during during the break, we're talking about to you.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Let the storms do the prune. I do.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
I mean, it's it's in.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
He's over here breaking my equipment today, My goodness, gracious,
left and right, let's see.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Yeah, I think I think maybe the.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
Other side right.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
We don't know if everything comes in backwards.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
I don't know exactly exactly. On an a M talker,
I don't think we have too much to worry about
as far as sary.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
But anyway, we we were talking during the break about
my neighbor and some of the landscaping that he's done,
so what what we are. We're in that timeframe where
we need to do some things for our landscape that's.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Already prepared in the landscape for winter. Yeah, check out your
mulch and see if you've got sufficient quantity of mult
on the ground. What moult does is it moderates peaks
and valleys in moisture and temperature. So these plants don't
singer every year. Every once in a while I gets notund.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Like twelve blows zero sometimes.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
And golly, that's kind of hard on plants because they're
not used to that. We're north and we're south. We're
kind of in between.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Just like our bodies are. Our human bodies. We're not
used to that, So imagine what the shock is to
your plants.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
So preparation and winter is important, and that is having.
What what the molts does is it helps moderate peaks
and valleys in moisture content. And it also helps moderate
peaks and valleys and temperature on the roots. When we
had that cold spell when it was I think four
hundred and fifty nine degrees below zero that one year,
I was at a building downtown and the box was
(27:10):
all got killed off, except the ones that were close
to the down spouts. There was enough water from the
down spouts to keep the moisture levels up. Those did fine.
They made it fine through the cold winter. So it
be prepared and we know pretty much in advance what
the weather's going to do. Weather Service is getting pretty
good about pretty stuff. Yeah, I missed the boat this
(27:32):
morning on the little tinkle rain we had. But I
said last night before I left, because I was on
the night shift last night, we have a twenty percent
chance of showers. Oh they were right then, thank you, Okay,
you can thank me, all right, thank you. But anyway,
(27:55):
so if we do have a cold spell coming on,
you want to go ahead and wan are your plants through?
We'll disconnect the hose, let it drain, and make sure
that the fasces turned off, et cetera, et cetera. So
so you plumbing will survivedal Yes, you don't. I don't.
You don't believe how many people's houses we go to
the this timing the hoses are on the faucets and
(28:15):
not why I'll take them off when I'm there, Yeah,
because people just forget and a sudden there's water coming in.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Yeah, but before before I go to bed tonight, I'm
actually gonna take my hose off because I do have
I have a hose hooked up to ah.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
What are those called?
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Timer?
Speaker 4 (28:36):
No, it's not a timer, it's uh.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Yeah, one of those splitter the black the black hose
with holes. A well, who in the world will buy
a hosel of holes?
Speaker 13 (28:50):
So soaker, that's it?
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Yes, Uh so I I have I have a soccer
hose that that runs through my my flower bed and.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
It's is well if you forget, that's okay because it's
a full of whole little drain.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
That's that's yeah, okay, so I can just keep.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
My No, I wouldn't do that anyway.
Speaker 13 (29:10):
Yeah, but Larry told me, no.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
No, no, no, just make sure everything's just kidding because it
could freeze down there, and if you have a tiny
little drip in your hose, it can cast some issues,
I mean on your faucets, so cast some problems also
winter rising the sprinkler system. So you want to make
sure to do that. Do we discussed it earlier, we did,
But typically a good sprinkler system it's a simple thing
to do.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
Really, so it is a simple thing to do.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
However, there's all these valves and the hops that turned
and some people get overwhelmed by all that. But yeah, yeah,
so called pro pro. Yeah. Typically there's a valve underground
where you turn it off, and then there's an above
ground thing by code, and that has to be a
little pecocks have to open up and drained, and that
(29:56):
should be a problem.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
But the keyword there is by code.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
It used to be we can put those on the ground,
but they change the building code that in case there's
a fire next door when they you don't want to
be pulling in groundwater.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
That's exactly it, exactly.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
And introduce air into it, and the pump won't work
on the pumper truck, et cetera, et cetera. So that's
why we have atmospheric vacuum breakers on our sprinkler systems
right now and above ground so they can be easily
serviced and easily frozen.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
Very good, Very good.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Well, when we come back from our next two minute break,
we're going to talk about what's going on at Green
Thumb Nursery. And then Larry's got some frequently asked questions
that normally occur here during this time frame, like when
are the leaves gonna change? All that good stuff We'll
be talking about that next after this two minute break.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
Here on Green Country guard D.

Speaker 3 (33:11):
Welcome back to Green Country Gardener. We're rocking and rolling
here on K one KGGF. Nathan Thompson, Larry Glass. If
you have a call, give us a call. Nine and
eight three three six fourteen hundred nine eight three three
six fourteen hundred anything dealing with your garden or landscaping, Larry,
what's going on at the nurses?
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Nice slicky mums? Kancies kale? Kale. It's something you eat,
you know, Yeah, it is something you can eat. I saw.
I saw the episode of Star Trek one time. They're
going through a park and they're eating kale. Just you
like that.
Speaker 15 (33:46):
You know.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
It's kind of bitter. Yes, it is, and it is
a good job to not make it look like it's bad.
So it actually grows on other planets too.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
Oh yeah, according to the Star Truk universe. We know,
we know that's.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
All fact anyway, And it tastes really good.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
Over the area, different fulc and soil.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
The k the kale plants, they have these leaves on
them and they change color when it gets cold. Wen't
really haven't had that yet, but when you put them
on the ground, you get some color in the wintertime.
It's kind of nice by the front door somewhere when
you walk into move so just to have something pretty,
you know, out of the garden. Also a fall color
shark like bernie bush and nandinas and Japanese sweet spitsctera.
(34:41):
We've got some stuff that turns color in the wintertime too.
Hello bores too. Hella bores is a perennial plant. Despite
the name, it's a very very good little plant and
it flowers in the midst of winter, typically the end
of winter, so it'll have some bloom blowing too.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
What about as far as those who are wanting to
plan to replace their potted plants besides moms, I mean,
I know with moms you can keep those in a
pot that that that has become such a common plant
this time of year. Are there any other things that
people can use that are still good just.
Speaker 4 (35:19):
In a pot for both fall and winter.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
We did some pots for a customer and we use
a flowering kale in the middle and pansies around the outside,
and those will will survive the winter. It's on the
west side of the house too, Okay, good, we'll get
some warmth on it. Some of the patios get some
morning fun too. Yeah, so I just have to keep
water and all that. But yeah, they'll survive and do fine.
They might look a little a little ragged. If it
(35:43):
gets really really cold, you might get the dolly up,
maybe put them in the ground. If it's going to
get you know, three hundred degrees blow zero.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
That never happens around here.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
About The cutoff point is about fifteen degrees or so.
So if it's going to get cold, you want to
through in a container. Can uh wheel him into the
garage and just leave the buy out in the driveway?
Speaker 3 (36:08):
Stout play it's in the garage, not your car. Yeah, okay,
you can tell Larry's a gardener, definitely. You were talking
in a previous segment when we had that collar.
Speaker 4 (36:17):
About seating grass. It's a little late you said on that.
So uh but what about so.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
It side is okay? Okay, yea uh. The bermuda grass,
you might have some die off in the winter because
all the rents are really on top of the ground.
But fescue grass survived no problem at Allis of grass
is hardy way up north, so it'll it'll do fine.
But you might have some difficulty in the spring with
bermuda grass emerging. Now, you can alleviate that somewhat by
(36:44):
rolling it and watering it real good and with a
with a roller and make sure the integrated heavily into
the soil. If you just roll it up on the
top of the ground, you go inside and watch the
football game, it's not going to survive the winter. You
have to get it integrated into the soil. So that
means some soil prep uh, shallow chilling of the soil
(37:06):
or adding soil to the surface so it has good
contact with the ground right right. It needs that integration
into there to keep the temperature more moderated.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
You just don't want to lay it down like a carpet,
is what you're.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Saying, right right. You want to roll it in and
water it in, roll it and all that and then
it'll do a lot better. But for menograph, yeah, it can.
You get get some sporadic die off from the winter
if it gets really cold, so just be prepared for that.
But it'll it'll grow and fill in by the end
of day. It'll be a grapnywhere you go. But you
do want to do what you can because it's kind
(37:41):
of a big investment. And water, you know, water and
personal label labeled pretty cheap.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
You know, it's so funny because I I watched the
TV shows, you know, every once in a while and
where people roll out new sod and then they don't
do what they need to do, and then they get
all mad because and blame the person who put it
down because they didn't water it.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
So, oh, I just put a new sod down now
and now it's dead. Well, you didn't do what you
needed to do, did you.
Speaker 12 (38:11):
Well?
Speaker 2 (38:11):
Yeah, the maintenance is the deal. When you're like that,
you have to water daily. And then yeah, as a root,
you lift up the corner and see what the roots
are doing, and when they're starting to get into the soil,
you can back off on the watering a little bit.
It's really you're watering a very thin veneer of soil
and grass initially when you put down the sod. So
it's gonna need some periodic watering and you can check
(38:32):
it with you if you ever raise a child, you
know it's actually it's wet.
Speaker 4 (38:41):
That's a good.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
That's a good. If it gets dry. If it gets dry,
you need to water it. So yeah, that's pretty simple.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
What about Uh, well, go ahead, succulents what about succulents
of plants.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
I like to use those in the landscape and association
with boulders and rocks and things. They kind of like
it sort of dry, right, they're kind of pretty probably
not maybe not the best time for succulents, But you
want to plantos maybe in the spring, Okay, okay, Well
they're not really established yet.
Speaker 3 (39:12):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I gotcha, I gotcha. Camellias, what about them?
Speaker 2 (39:17):
Chameilias are starting to put in some blooms right now
at this point. If there's any place in the world
where chamelias won't grow, this is this is one of them.
Speaker 4 (39:28):
But you included it on your list that you gave.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
They can but you have to do some soil prep
and lots and lots of molts. We had them in
Georgia when I was a kid. There there are you know,
two s huge plant. Yes, yes, but but here are
our soil pH is too high for them and the
soil structure is not They don't like it, so we
have to modify the soil. And there are some varieties
(39:51):
of the Japanese ones that are that are hardy enough
to live here. But keep in mind they need some
special care. And some special preparation, so be prepared to
mulch them fairly heavily going into the winter. There you go,
and annually put down on a Zelu type fertilizer to
keep the soil pH down about five and a half.
Then they'll do just fine.
Speaker 4 (40:11):
There you go, There you go.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
But they don't like it out there, you know, in
a prairie, you know, or on the west side of
the house. So these will tend to score it real bad. Right,
So you want to pick an area that's pretty well
protected from familiars.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
And I mean we are talking about green Thumb nursery here,
but you also have some some decore items like wind
chimes as well.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
Although the tune wind chimes are so nice, yeah, and
we usually fell out of them easily around Christmas.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
So it's gonna be a good time.
Speaker 4 (40:41):
Gonna be a good time.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
Well, when we come back from our final two minute break,
we're going to do some frequently asked questions for this
time of year. You're listening to Green Country Gardener here
on K one and k GGF back after this two
minute break.
Speaker 17 (40:55):
In nineteen thirty, Frank Phillips received a very special gift
from some dear friends. During a ceremony surrounded by fifteen
hundred guests, Frank was adopted into the Osage tribe by
Chief Fred Lookout and given the name of Eagle Chief
by the Osage. This marked the first time that the
Osage had ever adopted a white person into their tribe.
(41:17):
Chief Lookout gave the newest Osage chief the gift of
a pony, a saddle and a single eagle feather. The
saddle had been in Lookout's family for over one hundred years.
Frank Phillips received a telegram from a famous man and
dear friend saying sorry, I can't make it. The Osage
were always the smartest Indians in America.
Speaker 6 (41:38):
There are one.
Speaker 17 (41:39):
Hundred and twenty million white men, and they pick out
the best one to make an Osage chief. Best regards
to all o Sages, including Frank from the renegade Cherokee
Will Rogers, that kind of magic still happens every day

Speaker 9 (43:01):
Jane Phillips and Bartlesville.
Speaker 18 (43:04):
We're in a funky mood this morning here on Green Country.
Speaker 3 (43:16):
Gardener Nathan Thomson in studio with Larry Glass, our gardening professional,
if you have a call for our question for him
and give us a call nine when eight three three
six fourteen hundred nine and eight three three six fourteen
hundred Now, Larry, as we are getting, you know, into
the middle part of fall. Now, some of our trees
in our area are starting to change color. Others are
(43:37):
still very very green, and of course that is because
of different varieties of plants that we have in these areas.
Some are natives and some are non native. For the
new landscapers put in, I'm getting with you, but you
know one thing, and it's something that we've learned, you know,
back in biology and all of that about how what
(43:59):
causes the color change in leaves in the bull.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
First of all, a tree or a plant takes six
carbon dioxide and six water CO two and water and
makes six H twelve O six and a byproduct is oxygen. Yes,
So anyway, then they take that and it goes down
to the roots and it's stored in the winter or
(44:24):
in the roofs, so they can you know, survive by
and just be happy.
Speaker 3 (44:28):
You know, it's important to have happy little trees, right,
and Frosts would.
Speaker 2 (44:34):
Say the excess is turned into starch and short and
so needed. And as the daylight gets a little bit shorter,
turned the the the plants begin to shut down their
food production, their their photosynthesis, it's called, and then they
try to absorb as much of the carbohydrates they can
(44:55):
out of the leaves. And what's left or cyanothans, cyanathins
are what makes care. It's orange and beats red and
so on. Well, those are present in the leaves too,
and that's just what's left and it becomes more apparent,
and that's how we get fall color.
Speaker 4 (45:11):
There you go, there you go.
Speaker 2 (45:12):
So and then over time the leaves when the days
get short, of the leaf abscess. There's a layer between
the leaf itself and the stem because the apposition layer
when when things get cold and they gets shorter, the
tissues in their convert to corky material. Then they fall off.
Speaker 4 (45:31):
There you go, there you go.
Speaker 3 (45:32):
So, uh it as far as you know, and this
is just for for people who are are basic who
don't know much about tree varieties. So oak, oak trees,
what what color?
Speaker 4 (45:46):
What color do their leave has change to?
Speaker 2 (45:48):
So typically some of them don't turn it all and
there's some the northern red oak and some others stuff
like that. Yeah, they do exhibit some color in the fall.
Is highly dependent on the temperature too, and the link
to day, et cetera, et cetera. The length to day
is a primary stimulus for them to shut down for
the winter. And then when it gets cold, the colder
(46:11):
gets earlier. It gets the better of the wall color
because the Yanathan's stay in the leaf when it's cold early.
But I think this year everything's just going to fall off.
I think I think you're right, Yeah, because because it's
been warm for so long and typically by now first
of November that we're showing some good color and we're
still everything's green, yeah everything. I noticed my pistache tree
(46:31):
in the front is starting to show some color on it,
and some of the maples around town are starting to
show a little bit of color too, So I think
we're going to have some colored leaf.
Speaker 4 (46:40):
Do Elm trees do they do? They change color?
Speaker 2 (46:44):
I don't. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.
Speaker 4 (46:48):
Here I am I'm quizzing yelling.
Speaker 2 (46:50):
Now the Chinese down can change. That can be orange
or it can be purple, depending on the on the
weather and how how the plant how the Syanathans reabsorbed
into the roots and all that. But anyway, so they
can have some good color on some of them turned
orange color and some of yellow primarily, but yellow it's
a primary color for the Chinese typically has some good
(47:13):
color on it.
Speaker 4 (47:14):
Cottonwoods, what about them?
Speaker 2 (47:15):
Cut them down.
Speaker 4 (47:21):
See you're gonna get some honesty.
Speaker 2 (47:24):
Yeah, cottonwood that that is not one of yellow color
kind of fall off there you go.
Speaker 4 (47:29):
Let's see what uh.
Speaker 3 (47:32):
Now as you get out into the os chills and
all that, a lot of black jack out there, right,
So what what?
Speaker 12 (47:39):
What?
Speaker 4 (47:40):
What are the colors that we can.
Speaker 2 (47:40):
Do if they have some really cold weather. The colors
are really really brilliant, but we don't know.
Speaker 4 (47:48):
There you go, all right, what about the flowering pear trees?
Speaker 2 (47:51):
They don't do anything.
Speaker 3 (47:52):
They don't do anything at all except to cause a
massive stint across the area and the story and take it.
Speaker 2 (48:00):
Take out that that was that was actually quite the
thing back in the seventies.
Speaker 4 (48:03):
Oh, it certainly was early eighties. I remember.
Speaker 3 (48:05):
I remember the first my childhood home here in downtown Bartlesville. Uh,
my parents planted a a pear tree, a flowering pear tree,
Bartley Pair Bradford.
Speaker 4 (48:20):
That's it. I knew it was one of those, and
uh yeah it it was pretty. But the moment you
get high wind or some of that kind of stuff,
it just falls apart.
Speaker 2 (48:33):
Yeah. They they started out as a rather disease resistant tree,
and we had one cold spell one winter and they
got track notes really bad.
Speaker 4 (48:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (48:44):
That their immunity, I guess has limits. There you go,
and they were weakened by the cold and they got diseases.
So there you go.
Speaker 4 (48:52):
Well so we we can we can still see.
Speaker 3 (48:53):
I mean, it's of course here we're in in Oklahoma,
Kansas and those areas, I mean, the cooler temperatures tend
to be a little bit later on in the year,
so we don't typically get a huge display of fall foliage.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
