Speaker 1 (00:12):
And good morning, good morning, good morning. It's the Green
Country Gardener Program, Bone nine, open at nine three six
fourteen hundred. He's Larry Glass. He knows things. He's our expert.
I'm Tom. I just answered the phone. Why are we doing, Larry?
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Pretty good? Thank you for the weather this last week.
Actually get up some projects finished good so we can
start some more. Just some time for the rain.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
We're getting kind of these false starts into winter.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Yeah yeah, it's hey, hey, where the trees are finally
changing color?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Finally beautiful? About time a good show.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
This year is mild and I haven't had a lot
of wind. I haven't had any ice storm shit to
knock them off the ground.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
So I've got a question for you. We got some
of our grass that's going dormant, but not all of it.
Saafe visit to get the.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Round up out on your It's a little early yet
for I thought, because the grass, because it's still kind
of the soldier are still there, and down below the
brown there's some green under there. It could cause some problems.
So all right, I'd wait a little lot longer, just
just until you have a really really hard freeze. They
(01:22):
hold my water at that point of course that a
lot of the weeds are out too anyway. But you
could use a broadly killer for your dandelions, so that works.
It's a hormonal type of herbicide. It makes the plants
just grow to death, poor plant. Or you could just
eat your dandelions, you could. It's health food unless you
(01:45):
put all kinds of stuff on your yard. But the
bigger things in my backyard came from a tropical paradise.
Do something out of herman munster backyards?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Oh, just like that, real quick?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Huh yeah, thank you for the freeze.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Cold snapping is over.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
My cannons are all droopy, and the elephant ears are.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
You save them, You get to put them in the garage. Today.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I don't do all of them, and I wait a
little while. Well then we really go torment. They're not
all the way dead, all the way to the ground.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
They're just looking a little tired.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
But I just kind of leave them in the ground
for a little while and then pull them up. Of course,
because of my my occupation, I don't have any time.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yeah you're doing everybody else I know.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Anyway, So so yeah, I don't take them all up,
just some of them. And this last year, I had
a planeted elephant air bullpen in area. I didn't think
it would get as big as it did, and it
just went bananas, this huge thing, and the leaves you
couldn't reach around the leaves. It just monster. But they
were in the way, so I just kind of worked
(02:56):
around them a little bit so they'll be placed somewhere
else differently. So that's a good idea. If your elephant
your bowl, did it too big in one place, or
they didn't get big at all. Sometimes if your soil
is real heavy, they just simply you know, well, yeah,
they don't do very well. So if they didn't do
(03:19):
well this year, you might consider nurturing the soil if
you will getting a significant amount of composts. And my
house I used just the grass clippings and leaves and
stuff and work into the soil. It works fine. But
the compost, the package compost works very well too. Your
annual flowers will enjoy you for that enjoyed. You will
(03:40):
enjoy your annual flowers for doing that.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I got you, got you.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Preposition of phrases altogether.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Here, But welcome to Saturday.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
So it's still a good time to consider prepping your
long and all that too. Uh, you might want to
get wide lad of grass by the end of month
if you want to plant fifth you in other words,
if you want winter grass, the festi grass really should
be in the ground really at this point. But with
the weather, if it continues like this, it's probably not
(04:12):
too late. But I guess the point is it should
be a wide blade at this point your grass should
be in other words, thirty days ago when we started
talking about planting it, Well, now it should be maturing,
actually getting ready for the winter. And it's getting a
little dry too. It wouldn't hurt to irrigate if you will,
(04:32):
to help them out a little bit, because if it's
really dry going into a cold spill, you're going to
lose it. So make sure you've got adequate water in
the ground and on your new grass. And the water
did in real good, it should do fine.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
You know, get something on there. We can't always depend
on a rainstorm this time of year.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Actually, we're approaching one of the drier parts of the year.
Actually we are, so be prepared for that. If you
have an irrigation system, you can win or it or
you can't. You want to get one with a backflop
adventure that's either in the house or one that has
a cover over it so it doesn't freeze, so you
can still irrigate at this point. The ground's not frozen yet.
(05:12):
Everything's underground, so you can steal water right now. But
those above ground fixtures you get to be aware of
and make sure they don't freeze.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
That gets very important.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
That gets expensive.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Yeah, that's called avoidable.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Yeah. So actually I do for some of my customers.
I use the compressed air to clean them out doors
very well. So kind of cool to watch your sprinkle
had chewed up these geysers for Steve stuff.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Look at that.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Yeah, it gets the air out of that or the
water out of that backflop a venture. So lawns, we've
talked about that mowing high profesque should be approximately two
and a half inches for the falling winter. We have
a less sunshine right now because somebody moved this on
further south. Yeah, how does that happen?
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Lord moves in my way.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
I know how it happens. The earth has tilted on
its axis. Sure, so that's why we have a shorter winter.
So you don't want to cut a t short because
it's simply not enough light for that. Really broadlyaf weeds
and down the lines I mentioned earlier, they can be
a control at this point. You can use that trimec
(06:27):
or two forty or something like that on them, but
don't use a non selective berber sites such as round
up at this point in your bermutle on because you'll
have dead spots in this morning. And another thing you
don't want to do is scalt of bermuto grass at
this point too. You need that insulation on there. And
typically we don't want to do any high nitrogen applications
on your bermuinograss late in the summer or into the fall.
(06:51):
That creates a problem known as spring dead spot. If
we have a lot of snow on the ground in
the winter, especially in February, it's a fungus disease and
you have the bare spots on your bermutographs and the
only way to get rid of that is to take
it up and take plugs from your surrounding bermutographs and
put it in place. It's a fungus infection that the
bermudigrass can get can get if it's too tender, and
(07:16):
a late application of nitrogen with applied on the on
the bermuniograss, So hopefully you didn't do that and it'll
do just fine. So really not much to do with
it at this point, just kind of let it go
a little bit. You can cut it down a little
bit just to make it nice, and even a plan
of doing that to my yard tomorrow, just to tidy
it up a little bit. Some of the edges need
to be worked and so on and cut the weeds down.
(07:38):
So it's kind of the same thing with zoyasographs. It's
sort of a parallel with bermudograss as far as its
seasonal appearance, and it's concerned. So you don't have to
do a lot to yet, but I simply do not
want to scalp it until spring arrives. Now Bermutographs. Speaking
of scalping, it's a good idea to scalp it a
(07:59):
little bit in the spring, but occasionally you need to
do a complete defatch on it. We have a color,
yes we do.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
All right, good morning, and welcome to the Green Country
Gardener Program. Your question or comment for Larry. Hello, all right, hi,
you're on the air. Good morning, well, good.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Morning USA, and we would call and buy everybody the
player bill pancake.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Pardon me, okay, uh, I guess that was Fairfield s
f U S S A something.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
All right, Well, thank you very much, appreciate your call.
And once again this is the Green Country Gardener Program
and we will have our consumer calls a little bit
later on today. If you've got a public announcement or
something like that, we can put that on for you then.
But going back to where we were, Larry.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Okay, talking a little bit about lawns and what to
do right now. So it's not a whole lot to do, really, uh,
tidy up edge, tidy up edge a little bit, and
you know, kind of even after don't don't don't cut
it too deeply.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Goodness, they have a collar. No we don't. Oh it's
just acting up.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Oh there you tell me selling insurance, uncle spam.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Okay, and good morning, welcome to the Green Country Gardener
Program and your question or comment for Larry, Yeah, good morning.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
This is the Dewey FSA chapter from Dewey High School.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Pancakes.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
We're having a pancake breakfast at the County Fairground, the
one to invite all your listeners down to have pancakes.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
And sausage wonderful deal.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Good sun coming up here, cakes on the grid.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Ah, there you go. Thank god, we're f f a kids,
that's for sure. All right, Well I'm glad we got
to hear you this time because we were having a bad,
bad patch on the last one there. And how long
are you going to be serving?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
We'll be serving until ten am.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
All right, sounds good. Thank you to get away along,
all right, take care now bye, there you go. Yeah,
we got that cleared up. That was good.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Okay. Cool. So anyway, Yeah, you can cut the bermuda
grass a little bit, and don't don't don't cut it
too low it It doesn't need that extra layer of
insulation to help it in the winter into the winter.
So cool. Also, if you're done with your mower, you
want to run it till it runs dry. And it
always takes forever for that, Yeah it does.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
You run out of gas while you're mowing. But boy,
if you really wanted to run out of away.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
You're going to be waiting running for two days.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Oh yeah, the way it goes.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
So and put that to sleep and pull the spark flag,
put a little oil in it and pull the pull
the rope a little, you know, a couple of times.
That'll keep the cylinder from corroding on you. So good
idea to do that too, especially if it's outside which
was warm and cold, condensation can get in there and
call some issues. And during the winter time it's when
(11:11):
I buy air filters and edge of blades and stuff too.
Generally the retailers have them, so you might want to
do a little shopping maybe this winter to get those materials. Okay, cool,
As far as fertilizing is concerned for me, thank you, Hello.
Rescue grass. You want to give it a moderate to
(11:32):
light fertilization at this point. You don't want to spur
on a lot of tender growth on it, just enough
to keep it going. Sure, and it should be fairly
broad blade at this point, and you can lower them
over a little bit on that too. Some people like
a really low, low growing grass, but if it gets
really dry you can have some issues with it. So
it is a little dry out there, so I would
(11:53):
got it too low.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
So wait till Tuesday Wednesday. Bah, Yeah, we'll see. I'll
believe that when you see it. When I one of
my shovel gets with it. Here you go, day, what
we're going to take a quick break. We're going to
be right back. We'll be having more of your calls
and a great information right here on the Green Country
Gardner program. After this two minute.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
Welcome back, to the Green Country Gardener program. Nine eight
three three six fourteen hundred is our number. He's Leary Glass.
I'm Tom. I just answered the phone. Oh yeah, going on.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Oh yeah, I tried to plan for your landscape. Also,
I've got a few few projects in the drawing board.
Guess some got to present. I'm a busy spoke with
this stuff on the ground. I just can't how tired
at the end of the day. I'm seventy years old,
come on.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Still running those little guys around like exactly.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
So it's time to kind time to plan your landscape.
And I'm usually busy in the winter with that. So
people have that ready for them in spring. Okay, trees,
time plant new trees. We have trees on sale at
the nursery twenty five percent off so and really nice
color on most of them. So we come out and
check it out if you need a big old tree,
(15:11):
and be sure to follow some rules when planting a tree,
very simple rules. Actually, twenty feet from the house, ten
feet from the driveway, ten feet away from the water
lane coming into the house, out of the drainage corridors
where the water runs when it rains. That leads an
area about the size of this microphone. We make you
plant the tree. So consider that because you don't want
(15:33):
the treat to become a pest.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
You want that to be an asset exactly.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
And it should frame the house. And it also should
perhaps give you some shielding from the hot sun. And
so it should be fifteen twenty feet away from the house.
And consider it's what it does. How does it frames
the house too? And later on done some projects away
in the pass and in the eighties and the trees
have grown up and it really sets the house off nicely.
(16:00):
So be careful how you locate them. Just put them
in the middle of the front yard.
Speaker 8 (16:05):
Now.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Also, if your house faces west, you might want to
plant the tree a little bit north of the direct
west because in the summertime the sun sets to the
north a little for the north in the winter time,
you want that light to come in. I guess maybe
so it'll do that. So be strategic with the location
of the trees also, and let them let them work
(16:26):
for you.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Let them work for.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
You exactly, not exactly for you. And also consider your
soil type too, and the species of the tree, in
the size of the tree and its root system too.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
It's important.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Yeah, if you have a sewer line nearby, you want
to steer clear of, you know, shallow rooted trees like maples.
You want to avoid silver maples at all costs around
these sewer lines the exactly, and they get into that
and really mess it up. So kind of knowing all that,
having that knowledge help a whole lot. And you can
(17:01):
make a rough sketch of the house and the driveway
and popul line and do some measuring and then the
orientation of its north, south, east and west. How does
this thing? Where's his face? And then number one and
number two? What do you want the tree to do?
Do you want it to plug up the drainage pattern
and see get water in the house. No, you want
(17:23):
to you wanted to accentuate the house. Give me some
fall color, place for birds and wild black maybe some
shading in the afternoon. I have a real nice Chinese
protasion on the west side of the driveway about fifteen
feet away, and it chased my old truck real nice
when I get home. That's a good friend to have,
(17:44):
but it's far enough away to where it's not really
a pass.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
It does its job.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
So yeah, and also consider your your soil type. When
the planet is this thing. I had to use an
old rock bar and a shovel just to pick a
little hole in the ground. So I get the squeezes
thing in there and it took off and did pretty well,
So be strategic about where they put there. Also. The
tree of the week is the cedar's theodora or the
(18:12):
did our cedar, and it's native to the Himalayas, so
they should adapt very well here because our weather changes
so quickly and it grows as high as thirty feet
tall in his first ten years. It's a long lived
and kind of a troubled free tree. Of most areas,
it does need neutral to slightly alkaline soil. That's probably
(18:36):
why it does pretty well here. So we have a
neutral too slightly alcohol alcohol alkaline somewhere you go, or
breaking baking soda for soil. It does pretty well. So
that might be a consideration for an accent tree, or
maybe some screening or shading or something you might want
to frame the house with that put it off to
(18:57):
the side, seeking to give them a framework for the
house too. And because it is kind of a low
branched and when you cut it up from the ground,
it's kind of ugly, so you want to let it
stay pretty close to the ground as it grows up.
These are available in several several shapes too. There's a
one that's weeping it comes up. They're kind of expensive though.
(19:18):
They run you about three hundred dollars. But they have
a branch that comes down like this like a question mark.
And what that does. They use a reverse graft to
make the tree have a little trouble with gravity, and
it has this weeping habit. You're really attractive. They don't
get so big, but they do like the good drainage
and they like neutral soil. Do fine. Be sure to
(19:42):
cut the ropes on the rip ball when you plant
it so it doesn't jell it so anyway, so that
they're kind of a nice tree to give you some color.
Not a whole lot of work. I don't think we
have it on the hand right now, but we can
get you something so once established. It's very drough tolerant too.
Most of your needle trees like that here did our
(20:03):
cedars and spruce of needly things. Typically they are a
very drought tolerant. They grow in environments where the soil
as well was drained and rocky, and they're subjected to
times when they don't have rain. So the your needle
leaved plants typically have more drought tolerant than your big
(20:25):
flat leave plants. There you go, plant physiology, one on one.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
There you go. Okay, he went to College of Knowledge.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Okay, uh, shrub of the week is a firepower dwarf
and nantina. He said, Oh my god, da, this one.
This is a really good plant's brilliant crimson fall through
winter folded. I had some in my house and just
as red as those buttons over there all winter long,
(20:54):
really nice wayside John High. Yeah, and they kind of
grow these kind of floppy with age and kind of
ugly looking at all. That important thing is to cut
them back to get that way in the spring, not
w yeah, but yeah, don't do other shows, but in
the in the spring, just before the leaves are emerging,
(21:15):
get them back rather low and then make nice looking
shrubs again. So if your dwarf nandinas are looking a
little unruly, is like anything else that's unrually, it needs
a little bit of discipline. Stern cutback, turn well, not
that bad run over with the lawnmower. Kevin but I
(21:36):
would go ahead and trim it back. And it's kind
of easy to tell what needs to be cut off
because it's real kind of legging and floppy that it's tall.
So it does get that way. So a little bit
of maintenance. I do that on my things in my
holly bunches. My dwarf field puns get a rather stern
haircut too. In the spring. Hedge clippers do a good
job and they look like they've been run over for
(22:00):
a while, but a couple of weeks later they're out.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
They're fine.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Fine. Yeah, so uh mandinas, don't give me the fertilizer
at this point. And when you do give them fertilizers,
don't give them very much. You don't want them to
get too stretching tall. These plants. I have some of
my house beautiful things. I never never fertilize them. They
do just fine.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Nice And I got terrible soil, absolutely rotten soil, well.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Not rotten, it's just none. So they do pretty well.
It's a good idea. Also have a good layer of
mult on the ground. They do have their limitations as
far as cold it's concerned. So if you if you
don't have any leaves around them, or any kind of moults.
You might want to consider multing them just so they
can survive the winter. They are getting a little expensive
than they used to be, so you want to preserve
(22:48):
them as much as possible. So firepower dwarf Mandina. There's
our shrub at of the week.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
All right, We're gonna right now take a break out
of the hour and we'll be right back after this
time out.

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 rows of sharon. Plus
they always have new shipments of trees and shrubs, new
shipment of houseplants, African violensts including carnivorous plants. Now's the
(24:53):
time to soak escue seed and green Tham has five
stark escu seed in five to fifty pounds bags in
stock green thum D three in greenhouses on the Wetter Road,
open Monday through Saturday, ninety four.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
All right, it's a eight thirty four sixty degrees inching
up there as we head for high of eighty one today.
It's gonna be a gorgeous day to get out and
abount and do a lot of things outdoors. And that's
why we do have our program called the Green Country Gardener,
so in case you're so inclined, you can do it
the right way. It's really hard when you don't know
what you're doing, and if you have a question nine one, eight, three, three, six,
(25:38):
fourteen hundred. There are a lot of folks who will
go out and mean well, Larry, but if they don't
have the right instruction, it could be more more work
than your bargain.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
For now than endinga is you said they're members of
the Barbary family, Yes, And you can tell their members
the Barbara family by the color of the stems. Down
below the bark there's yellow, and so the Barbaries share
that heartiness and ability to take abuse rather well. But
(26:12):
a lot of people at their Barbaries get rather large.
I rather like them for a color. The crimson Pygmy
barry just can't Barbary just can't be beaten. But the
important thing is to cut it down fairly low. Once
year it gets leggy and ugly and kind of quirky looking.
And my neighbor crossed the street from I was looking
like that, and I advised him to cut them down.
(26:33):
To cut them down. Well, okay, we'll see. And they're beautiful,
a very rich purple color colored leaves in there, really
quite nice.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
So that they do need some discipline. So the danding
is in the barbariges. But they're really good plants here
because they don't really have any pets, easy to manage,
and you just really do it anything with them just
once a year.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Really, that's it they perform.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Yeah, just just to cut it and set it and
get it. Yeah, so you might consider that just for
some color accidents. They're gonna start making a show here.
As soon as we get some cold weather. I noticed
the trees outside some of them started to turn, some
of them kind of turned yellow and falling off. But really,
the hybrid maples depend on a really good show despite
(27:26):
all the then obless weather pattern. So going back to trees, though,
you might want to consider something like that. A lot
of the hybrid trees are more deeply rooted. Say you
want to avoid silver maples because of their shallow root system.
You can't plant anything around their grass will grow around them,
et cetera. So, but some of the hard maples do
really well. And we did a project over at the
(27:50):
Union Bank over there across from the Cemetery where we
did a steel ring around the trees and those autumn
flame maples that put on a really big show.
Speaker 8 (28:00):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
But the steel rings with the mulch in there, it
dresses them up real nice. And it also keeps that
weed eater damage away. Yeah, most of the problems people
have with their trees, they say, what's wrong with my trees?
Dying to look at it the barxicon. Yeah, for the
weed eaters. So it's a good idea to have a
ring of steel or stone or something around the tree
(28:23):
just so it doesn't get that damage. You can even
use that two landscape timbers and cut them in half
and make it four by four foot square around the tree.
Kind of dresses them up a little bit too, and
it does protect them so good idea to do that
when you plant the tree. Okay, So house plants, they're
becoming a bit of a vogue, if you will. We
(28:44):
have a greenhouse full of house plants right now, a
great selection, so come check it out. That's nice African
violets and some other things. At the nursery. As your
attention turns inwards, we have stuff for that too, dilemension.
We have trees on sale too, just a.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Little litle bit.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Yeah. I think it's thirty something like that, twenty five percent.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
That's something.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Yeah, so you got to well, you're really getting to
the root of the problem there. I think we'll leave this. Okay, Okay,
you're dropping you a seed for conversation. Okay, annuals. It's
possible to have color all year round with the proper
(29:27):
planting of annuals. You need a little bit late to
plant pansies, a little bit. Yeah, so they should be
established pretty well right now. If you do plant them
right now. You want to get some mult to to
moderate peaks and valleys and soil temperature moisture as well.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Get them.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
So you've got to get on the ball if you're
going to do that. It's right close to December so
and the annual the week is impatience yea, otherwise known
as anyway that they're very I have a well known
Saint Pauli is another word for them. But anyway, they
(30:06):
do pretty well here. But there's kind of mounting plants
and with a lot of color throughout the whole summer.
They do really well until it gets extraordinarily dry. So
you want to do some real good ground prep. You
gotta have all want you to do this, tom Yes,
so you might want to go ahead and get your
(30:27):
ground ready. But anyway, so the compost works really well
and it does make the slow good loose these impatients.
If there's any plant that's not native to the area
of the impatient, is the boats a child for that.
So we do have to do some ground prep. There's
another variety of in patients called the sun patients, and
(30:48):
they take the sun really quite well too. They do
very well here in full sun too. There are some
great examples here in town of sun patients and they
did did really quite well until last week. So you
might consider planning that out for next year. Some sun
(31:10):
patients in with your landscape and keep in mind up
big to you get this one plant would get almost
the size of a bushel basket. And I like to
just mix up the colors and put them in a
row or in a grouping, and it makes a whole
lot of flower show in the summer. So you might
consider some sun patients next year to do that, though
you want to spend some time this winter getting the
(31:33):
ground ready. Winter typically is one of our driest times
of the year, so you could take advantage of that
and mix some composts into the soil to make it
better for the sun patients to grow. So it doesn't
it doesn't hurt one little bit to get your ground
prep ready. You know that when it happens. So when
when the spring comes to the plant, the plants won't
(31:54):
sit in the garage for a week while you get
your ground ready. You just put it right in the
ground and go. Just think ahead exactly it works, wonders
Planting plants a plant? Yeah, have a plan, you bet
so planting platients after the the last chance of frost
has passed and they can be planted around trees and planters,
(32:14):
hanging baskets and window boxes as long as it's somewhat
shaded but not you know, for the sun patients not
too too shaded, but impatients themselves will grow pretty well
in the shade. And most is essential is essential for
your impatience. They don't like peaks and valleys and moisture.
(32:35):
Pretty much. A constant supply of water, that's what you need.
Because when you look at the stem of it and
you cut it and you squeeze it, if you will,
most of what you get is water and very little tissue.
So these are very very water holding plants, and they
don't do well. They're just going to get wilt if
(32:56):
they run out of water. So you want to have
a soil where the can really grow out and exploit it.
And you want to have a soil that does a
very good job of retaining that water. So composted peep
moss and stuff like that, you will have success with
your son patients. And don't put it off to the
last minute.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Get cracking, Get cracking. Okay, we'll be right back, folks.
We're going to crack open a couple of commercials. You
get right back in about two minutes. Right here on

Lurry Glass is our expert, Larry. Where are we here?
Speaker 2 (35:56):
Perennials. Perennials are very kind of important in the landscape
because they come back every year.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
They do.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
So one one I really like is called corabells, and
they're also called chatterbox, but.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
I would recognize them as corabells.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Okay, they have an attractive foliage, and we have it
available in yellow and purple and red colors and all that,
even green ones too. But what I like the ease
is little the color accents here and there, maybe have
a boulder or something, and they look really good against
that and along pathways or something. They make an attractive
(36:32):
color thing in the landscape. And they're really they're just
kind of a no care plant. So there used to
be corbells. The old fashioned ones are just sort of
green leaf and these little little tiny pink flowers on them.
That's all they're worth. But they've managed to hybridize them
where they have some very attractive colored leaves on them.
And what I like about this is the wildlife doesn't
(36:52):
like it too. Well, Oh yeah, there you go. There's
a bonus, and they do give you some color. Are
for basically alsome long you do don't do anything to them.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
Really, I'm liking these things.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
The good plants. Yeah, they don't like the full hot sun.
The ones with the barrigated leaves don't like the fall
hot sun. They associate nactually with say ferns and hostage.
They kind of these are kind of a medium picture,
so you get the fine texture of the ferns and
the horse texture the hostas and someone. So they sort
of go with it real nicely, little color accents. So
(37:28):
you might consider corbells. They are very tolerant of drought,
wind and heat, and they're mainly grown from their foliage,
but they produce little spikes of blooms and white pinkle coral.
These planets long lasting with minimal care, about ten to
twenty four inches tall, fifteen to twenty four inches spread.
I like to use them to say a long pathways
(37:49):
or as a border in the garden where it gets
some shielding from the hot afternoon the sun. Just because
they are so carefree. You might consiteer getting some of those.
We grow a lot of them at the nursery too.
In fact, some of them flew in from I don't
know whether for for us to grow and nurture them
the greenhouse and move them back getting ready for sail
in the spring. So it's a good plant too to
(38:11):
happen the landscapes. But it doesn't like the really hot
hot sun. Okay, time to dig your sweet potatoes. Probably
too late to harvest it. If you didn't harvest your pumpkins,
they're probably concaved. Yeah. It did get a little cold. Yeah, okay,
so not much going on the vegetl guard and maybe
(38:31):
some cool season things like peas and engrossed in spanach
and whatnot. Long as it doesn't get so awful cold,
lettuce and things like that will be just fine. Okay,
So golly talked a lot today.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
Boy did we ever? You covered a lot of ground?
You ground cover or you.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
We can talk. I guess a little bit about the
irrigation system.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Let's do that.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
I think because of our rather upsy, downsy type of
climate here that's putting it in my open, you might
want to consider some kind of an irrigation thing. It
just helps moderate things because when you come home from
work and your plants are all wilted yuck, you know.
So you know, there are drip systems which work rather well.
You protect them to your hoes, and there's several methods
(39:14):
by which the drip system can be installed. We've used
the drip piping. It's it's a it's maybe a rainbird.
It's it comes in a big old roll and you
put it on your plants and it distributes water evenly
at the ground level and you can connect that to
your faucet. And they make these little timers and some
(39:35):
of them you can even control with your phone, which
is kind of cool. And oh, I don't feel like
turning it on up.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
Yeah it's one finger, folks.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
Yeah, so it's not going to kill you, so that
might be uh, you know. A consideration is a some
kind of an irrigation thing like that. At my house,
I have something kind of like that. It's you know,
it has a little valves underground with a mainline feeding it,
and it little sprayhead little drip sprayheads water stuff, and
(40:09):
it's on my telephone.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
But I have to keep up with the technology so.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
Well, you do very well.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
We've done that really most of most of our project.
People really want that, some people they don't have anything
to do with it. Some people really want to do it.
So it depends depends and your brand of the timer
you choose also depends on that also. And typically when
you install the irrigation system, you want to have some
kind of logic to the succession of watering. In other words,
(40:41):
it does the curve in the front yard and the
side yard, in the backyard and out. You gotta have
it around there, and I have a logical sequence like that,
just so you know what's going to happen when you're
out there. And if you do have a sprinker system
and it does kind of bounce around over the yard,
(41:02):
you might do a rough map of your property. You
can get from Google Earth. You can get the good
shots of your property, and then you can shade in
the areas where these circuits go and put that up
by the timer so you don't have to ask Mabel
where is it going? Now you know you have that
full knowledge right in front of you. They see circle
number three is in the backyard, so you turn the
(41:23):
little dial the number three into the gold button.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
Next thing you know, you can do it almost all
by yourself.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
Yeah, and then you'll know it. And when we install them,
we have a logical sequence. Not only is it in
a logical sequence and order in the yard, but the
wiring also we do it alpha the americally, so black
and blue, brown and so on, so they progress that way.
So you know, if you lose all that, you can
(41:49):
just look at the color of the wires. Well, yeah,
that's number three of the thrower goes over there.
Speaker 1 (41:55):
So yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
Yeah, you always want to get some kind of a
zone map if you will. It makes it so much
it's easier for everybody. Takes the guess work out of
it too.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
You know when you have to call the repair person. Yeah,
you know.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
And another thing is the wire coming out of the house.
To see some of them that are beat up with
weed eaters and stuff like that. You want to put
a conduit around that so that doesn't happen. To just
protect that's the biggest problem that people have with their
springker systems is the wiring and actually the decomposition of
the wiring connections too. That's very important. Make sure they're
(42:31):
properly field. Yeah, it got it.
Speaker 1 (42:34):
Okay, we're going to take a quick break and we
will be back after this four minute time out. It
looks like yes, four minutes.

Speaker 6 (43:12):
Frank Phillips, the old man with barred wired nerves and
the courage of a wolf, didn't realize his own capacity
to love until after the death of his dear wife
Jane in nineteen forty eight. He no longer heard her
laughter in the mansion in town, nor enjoyed the long
drives out to his beloved Woolarock, where they would often
go to share an evening dinner after her death, he
(43:33):
found himself waking to the cold reality of her absence
and confided to others that his soul ached. More and
more of Frank's time was being spent at the ranch,
sitting on the front porch of the lodge and enjoying
the magnificent view and likely reflecting back on an incredible
life of personal and professional accomplishments. However, without his wife
(43:53):
in the chair next to him, these simple joys became
shallow to Uncle Frank. After her death, those around Frank
soon discovered that he had one desire, and that was
to build a mausolem at Woolloarock to serve as a
final resting place for Jane and himself. He had picked
out the spot years before, a favorite spot that overlooked
one of the beautiful lakes that dotted the grounds of
(44:13):
the ranch. Inspired by the memorial built for his good
friend Will Rogers and Claremore, the mausolem soon became the
primary focus of Frank's life. Once construction started on the
mausolem in nineteen forty nine, he personally came out every
day to see how work was progressing. Frank wanted it
within walking distance of the lodge, yet not directly in
(44:34):
the public eye, which is why he chose the site
above Elk Lake, one of his favorite fishing holes at Woollarock.
Built of native stone with no cut edges, the tomb
appeared to spring from the side of the hill as
if it was part of the terrain. Workmen blasted through
eighteen feet of solid rock to form the burial chamber,
and the twenty four square foot room was lined with
(44:55):
a twelve inch steel reinforced concrete wall. The chamber was
air conditioned and a telephone was installed Inside. The mausolem
is a circular rotunda outlined by eight columns of Saint
Cecilia marble imported from Italy, which rises ten feet to
a dome. The walls are covered with thousands of mosaic tiles,
(45:15):
and in the center of the room is an eight
pointed star formed by the different shades of marble. Construction
took about a year, and as soon as it was completed,
Frank had Jane's casket brought from White Rose Cemetery and
a memorial service was held at the new mausolem. To
his friends and staff, mister Phillips seemed happier than at
any time in recent years. His final work was completed
(45:38):
and he could return to the porch of the lodge,
which he did until his death on August twenty third,
nineteen fifty. The magic of Woolarock is a story worth
sharing and it can be found everywhere at this national treasure.
Come see it for yourself and welcome home to Wollarock.

John Hart, Jane Phillips and Bartlesville Welcome back to the
Green Country Gardner Program.
Speaker 1 (46:43):
It's a fifty five sixty degrees and on line open
at nine one, eight, three three six fourteen hundred Lerig Glass.
What's going on in the shop.
Speaker 2 (46:52):
I can imagine all your sunflowers dancing to that music.
Speaker 1 (46:55):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (46:56):
At the shop, we've got trades on sel. We have
a great selection of the house plants and garden chemicals
and things like that to maintain your guard if you will.
You know, kinds of advice too. After the show, I've
got an appointment with somebody to talk to them about
their garden and what to do.
Speaker 1 (47:10):
Very good.
Speaker 2 (47:11):
So I'm busy. I know that.
Speaker 1 (47:15):
You know, when we go out there to the shop,
you're gonna get some steps in because it's huge, but
you've got everything where you want it and very easy
to find. Very helpful people out there too. Well.
Speaker 2 (47:28):
When we did a delay out of it, there's a
we have a shade house structure in a greenhouse, and
the show house or the showroom itself, there's a loop
going around all of them, so you can see the
entire thing in a very short stroll walking through everything
like that. So there's that there's that level of circulation,
(47:48):
and then around the outside of that, trucks and cars
can loop the road also pick up heavy things so
you don't have to carry them so far.
Speaker 1 (47:57):
I like that really well thought.
Speaker 2 (47:59):
I did that back in the eighties and designed that out.
It worked out really well.
Speaker 1 (48:03):
Sure, and don't forget folks, just for the heck of it.
They got a waterfall in there.
Speaker 2 (48:09):
Oh the waterfall. Yeah, it's just due for cleaning though.
We usually do that in the winter time. Sure drained out,
cleaning up real good, but it still looks really good.
Another thing, I did that one in the eighties. You
did that, Yeah, I built that thing. You have to
cast the concrete.
Speaker 1 (48:23):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (48:24):
Yeah. It's got three oil drums in the middle of
it as a compression form, and then I used an
expansion form with Mason and I and flightwood and stuff too,
and not really good.
Speaker 1 (48:35):
So you use some science.
Speaker 2 (48:38):
It's it's only forty years old.
Speaker 1 (48:41):
It's work on time of that folks. You know wind chimes,
you have those two? Oh golly, yeah, the thing is
that's the first thing I noticed when I walk.
Speaker 2 (48:49):
Yeah. Yeah, they open up the doors on the north wind.
You know it usually it makes a lot of noise.
And those make great gifts. We sold some of them.
Actually sold the Love yesterday.
Speaker 1 (49:00):
I bet you did. So they sell themselves.
Speaker 2 (49:03):
Really good gifts. And my daughter got one twenty years
ago and it's still hanging in my backyard. Yeah, so
they're they're long lasting. They use a I forget the
name of an outfit to make them, but anyway, they
use a UV stabilized a string on it and uh
it's and IM and they're tuned too to them a
(49:24):
lot of tone. It's not that shrill and musical. A
lot of people in town who are very musically inclined.
You included, oh, thank you and uh yeah or declined,
but depends on so they send harmony and how the
how these waves work and all that too to make it,
to make it sound good and harmonized. So these are
(49:46):
fine tuned for it. Just for that reason. They're a
little expensive. But god, if you're gonna last you twenty
thirty years, I mean.
Speaker 1 (49:53):
It's a nice investment.
Speaker 2 (49:54):
Yeah you don't. You don't fall on the ground and
make this racket in the middle of what is that?
So anyway, check us out. We've got a great selection
of trees right now. And the shrubs. We've got a
lot of shrubs. We have plenty of the basics and
and some others we're going into the winter time. You
just don't carry a whole lot.
Speaker 1 (50:12):
True, but we carry a lot of ideas.
Speaker 2 (50:15):
Exactly, but we can get those and we do still
we have some on stock too, so we keep them.
Keep them there so evergreens and other things. So anyway,
check us out where you located. We are on No
Water Road, halfway between Madison Boulevard and Highway seventy five,
on the south side of the road.
Speaker 1 (50:33):
Can't miss it.
Speaker 2 (50:33):
We have a next to a church over there, and
then there's a ice cream shop and a place to
wash your car too, So people come in and grab
an ice cream, pome or the car, pick up some plants,
you know.
Speaker 1 (50:45):
Go home, get it all too. Said man, I'm done
for the day. Oh man, Well, you know, we do
have a little threat of rain coming up here this
week and then we'll keep an eye on that and
then if it does, and to make sure you keep things,
you know, nice and hydrated. As we go into the drive.
Speaker 2 (51:04):
Yeah, it's going to get a little on the dry side,
so you want to watch your stuff right carefully and
don't forget to water it all right, get that shovel sharp.
We'll see you next week.
Speaker 8 (51:12):
Dignity, compassion, excellence.
Speaker 7 (51:13):
Stuff you in your home in crematory, Bartlesville, No Water Barnstall.
Speaker 8 (51:17):
Hey telling you what Wait
And good morning, good morning, good morning. It's the Green
Country Gardener Program, Bone nine, open at nine three six
fourteen hundred. He's Larry Glass. He knows things. He's our expert.
I'm Tom. I just answered the phone. Why are we doing, Larry?
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Pretty good? Thank you for the weather this last week.
Actually get up some projects finished good so we can
start some more. Just some time for the rain.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
We're getting kind of these false starts into winter.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Yeah yeah, it's hey, hey, where the trees are finally
changing color?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Finally beautiful? About time a good show.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
This year is mild and I haven't had a lot
of wind. I haven't had any ice storm shit to
knock them off the ground.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
So I've got a question for you. We got some
of our grass that's going dormant, but not all of it.
Saafe visit to get the.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Round up out on your It's a little early yet
for I thought, because the grass, because it's still kind
of the soldier are still there, and down below the
brown there's some green under there. It could cause some problems.
So all right, I'd wait a little lot longer, just
just until you have a really really hard freeze. They
(01:22):
hold my water at that point of course that a
lot of the weeds are out too anyway. But you
could use a broadly killer for your dandelions, so that works.
It's a hormonal type of herbicide. It makes the plants
just grow to death, poor plant. Or you could just
eat your dandelions, you could. It's health food unless you
(01:45):
put all kinds of stuff on your yard. But the
bigger things in my backyard came from a tropical paradise.
Do something out of herman munster backyards?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Oh, just like that, real quick?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Huh yeah, thank you for the freeze.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Cold snapping is over.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
My cannons are all droopy, and the elephant ears are.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
You save them, You get to put them in the garage. Today.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I don't do all of them, and I wait a
little while. Well then we really go torment. They're not
all the way dead, all the way to the ground.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
They're just looking a little tired.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
But I just kind of leave them in the ground
for a little while and then pull them up. Of course,
because of my my occupation, I don't have any time.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yeah you're doing everybody else I know.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Anyway, So so yeah, I don't take them all up,
just some of them. And this last year, I had
a planeted elephant air bullpen in area. I didn't think
it would get as big as it did, and it
just went bananas, this huge thing, and the leaves you
couldn't reach around the leaves. It just monster. But they
were in the way, so I just kind of worked
(02:56):
around them a little bit so they'll be placed somewhere
else differently. So that's a good idea. If your elephant
your bowl, did it too big in one place, or
they didn't get big at all. Sometimes if your soil
is real heavy, they just simply you know, well, yeah,
they don't do very well. So if they didn't do
(03:19):
well this year, you might consider nurturing the soil if
you will getting a significant amount of composts. And my
house I used just the grass clippings and leaves and
stuff and work into the soil. It works fine. But
the compost, the package compost works very well too. Your
annual flowers will enjoy you for that enjoyed. You will
(03:40):
enjoy your annual flowers for doing that.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I got you, got you.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Preposition of phrases altogether.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Here, But welcome to Saturday.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
So it's still a good time to consider prepping your
long and all that too. Uh, you might want to
get wide lad of grass by the end of month
if you want to plant fifth you in other words,
if you want winter grass, the festi grass really should
be in the ground really at this point. But with
the weather, if it continues like this, it's probably not
(04:12):
too late. But I guess the point is it should
be a wide blade at this point your grass should
be in other words, thirty days ago when we started
talking about planting it, Well, now it should be maturing,
actually getting ready for the winter. And it's getting a
little dry too. It wouldn't hurt to irrigate if you will,
(04:32):
to help them out a little bit, because if it's
really dry going into a cold spill, you're going to
lose it. So make sure you've got adequate water in
the ground and on your new grass. And the water
did in real good, it should do fine.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
You know, get something on there. We can't always depend
on a rainstorm this time of year.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Actually, we're approaching one of the drier parts of the year.
Actually we are, so be prepared for that. If you
have an irrigation system, you can win or it or
you can't. You want to get one with a backflop
adventure that's either in the house or one that has
a cover over it so it doesn't freeze, so you
can still irrigate at this point. The ground's not frozen yet.
(05:12):
Everything's underground, so you can steal water right now. But
those above ground fixtures you get to be aware of
and make sure they don't freeze.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
That gets very important.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
That gets expensive.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Yeah, that's called avoidable.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Yeah. So actually I do for some of my customers.
I use the compressed air to clean them out doors
very well. So kind of cool to watch your sprinkle
had chewed up these geysers for Steve stuff.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Look at that.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Yeah, it gets the air out of that or the
water out of that backflop a venture. So lawns, we've
talked about that mowing high profesque should be approximately two
and a half inches for the falling winter. We have
a less sunshine right now because somebody moved this on
further south. Yeah, how does that happen?
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Lord moves in my way.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
I know how it happens. The earth has tilted on
its axis. Sure, so that's why we have a shorter winter.
So you don't want to cut a t short because
it's simply not enough light for that. Really broadlyaf weeds
and down the lines I mentioned earlier, they can be
a control at this point. You can use that trimec
(06:27):
or two forty or something like that on them, but
don't use a non selective berber sites such as round
up at this point in your bermutle on because you'll
have dead spots in this morning. And another thing you
don't want to do is scalt of bermuto grass at
this point too. You need that insulation on there. And
typically we don't want to do any high nitrogen applications
on your bermuinograss late in the summer or into the fall.
(06:51):
That creates a problem known as spring dead spot. If
we have a lot of snow on the ground in
the winter, especially in February, it's a fungus disease and
you have the bare spots on your bermutographs and the
only way to get rid of that is to take
it up and take plugs from your surrounding bermutographs and
put it in place. It's a fungus infection that the
bermudigrass can get can get if it's too tender, and
(07:16):
a late application of nitrogen with applied on the on
the bermuniograss, So hopefully you didn't do that and it'll
do just fine. So really not much to do with
it at this point, just kind of let it go
a little bit. You can cut it down a little
bit just to make it nice, and even a plan
of doing that to my yard tomorrow, just to tidy
it up a little bit. Some of the edges need
to be worked and so on and cut the weeds down.
(07:38):
So it's kind of the same thing with zoyasographs. It's
sort of a parallel with bermudograss as far as its
seasonal appearance, and it's concerned. So you don't have to
do a lot to yet, but I simply do not
want to scalp it until spring arrives. Now Bermutographs. Speaking
of scalping, it's a good idea to scalp it a
(07:59):
little bit in the spring, but occasionally you need to
do a complete defatch on it. We have a color,
yes we do.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
All right, good morning, and welcome to the Green Country
Gardener Program. Your question or comment for Larry. Hello, all right, hi,
you're on the air. Good morning, well, good.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Morning USA, and we would call and buy everybody the
player bill pancake.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Pardon me, okay, uh, I guess that was Fairfield s
f U S S A something.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
All right, Well, thank you very much, appreciate your call.
And once again this is the Green Country Gardener Program
and we will have our consumer calls a little bit
later on today. If you've got a public announcement or
something like that, we can put that on for you then.
But going back to where we were, Larry.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Okay, talking a little bit about lawns and what to
do right now. So it's not a whole lot to do, really, uh,
tidy up edge, tidy up edge a little bit, and
you know, kind of even after don't don't don't cut
it too deeply.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Goodness, they have a collar. No we don't. Oh it's
just acting up.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Oh there you tell me selling insurance, uncle spam.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Okay, and good morning, welcome to the Green Country Gardener
Program and your question or comment for Larry, Yeah, good morning.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
This is the Dewey FSA chapter from Dewey High School.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Pancakes.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
We're having a pancake breakfast at the County Fairground, the
one to invite all your listeners down to have pancakes.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
And sausage wonderful deal.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Good sun coming up here, cakes on the grid.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Ah, there you go. Thank god, we're f f a kids,
that's for sure. All right, Well I'm glad we got
to hear you this time because we were having a bad,
bad patch on the last one there. And how long
are you going to be serving?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
We'll be serving until ten am.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
All right, sounds good. Thank you to get away along,
all right, take care now bye, there you go. Yeah,
we got that cleared up. That was good.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Okay. Cool. So anyway, Yeah, you can cut the bermuda
grass a little bit, and don't don't don't cut it
too low it It doesn't need that extra layer of
insulation to help it in the winter into the winter.
So cool. Also, if you're done with your mower, you
want to run it till it runs dry. And it
always takes forever for that, Yeah it does.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
You run out of gas while you're mowing. But boy,
if you really wanted to run out of away.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
You're going to be waiting running for two days.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Oh yeah, the way it goes.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
So and put that to sleep and pull the spark flag,
put a little oil in it and pull the pull
the rope a little, you know, a couple of times.
That'll keep the cylinder from corroding on you. So good
idea to do that too, especially if it's outside which
was warm and cold, condensation can get in there and
call some issues. And during the winter time it's when
(11:11):
I buy air filters and edge of blades and stuff too.
Generally the retailers have them, so you might want to
do a little shopping maybe this winter to get those materials. Okay, cool,
As far as fertilizing is concerned for me, thank you, Hello.
Rescue grass. You want to give it a moderate to
(11:32):
light fertilization at this point. You don't want to spur
on a lot of tender growth on it, just enough
to keep it going. Sure, and it should be fairly
broad blade at this point, and you can lower them
over a little bit on that too. Some people like
a really low, low growing grass, but if it gets
really dry you can have some issues with it. So
it is a little dry out there, so I would
(11:53):
got it too low.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
So wait till Tuesday Wednesday. Bah, Yeah, we'll see. I'll
believe that when you see it. When I one of
my shovel gets with it. Here you go, day, what
we're going to take a quick break. We're going to
be right back. We'll be having more of your calls
and a great information right here on the Green Country
Gardner program. After this two minute.

Welcome back, to the Green Country Gardener program. Nine eight
three three six fourteen hundred is our number. He's Leary Glass.
I'm Tom. I just answered the phone. Oh yeah, going on.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Oh yeah, I tried to plan for your landscape. Also,
I've got a few few projects in the drawing board.
Guess some got to present. I'm a busy spoke with
this stuff on the ground. I just can't how tired
at the end of the day. I'm seventy years old,
come on.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Still running those little guys around like exactly.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
So it's time to kind time to plan your landscape.
And I'm usually busy in the winter with that. So
people have that ready for them in spring. Okay, trees,
time plant new trees. We have trees on sale at
the nursery twenty five percent off so and really nice
color on most of them. So we come out and
check it out if you need a big old tree,
(15:11):
and be sure to follow some rules when planting a tree,
very simple rules. Actually, twenty feet from the house, ten
feet from the driveway, ten feet away from the water
lane coming into the house, out of the drainage corridors
where the water runs when it rains. That leads an
area about the size of this microphone. We make you
plant the tree. So consider that because you don't want
(15:33):
the treat to become a pest.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
You want that to be an asset exactly.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
And it should frame the house. And it also should
perhaps give you some shielding from the hot sun. And
so it should be fifteen twenty feet away from the house.
And consider it's what it does. How does it frames
the house too? And later on done some projects away
in the pass and in the eighties and the trees
have grown up and it really sets the house off nicely.
(16:00):
So be careful how you locate them. Just put them
in the middle of the front yard.
Speaker 8 (16:05):
Now.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Also, if your house faces west, you might want to
plant the tree a little bit north of the direct
west because in the summertime the sun sets to the
north a little for the north in the winter time,
you want that light to come in. I guess maybe
so it'll do that. So be strategic with the location
of the trees also, and let them let them work
(16:26):
for you.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Let them work for.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
You exactly, not exactly for you. And also consider your
soil type too, and the species of the tree, in
the size of the tree and its root system too.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
It's important.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Yeah, if you have a sewer line nearby, you want
to steer clear of, you know, shallow rooted trees like maples.
You want to avoid silver maples at all costs around
these sewer lines the exactly, and they get into that
and really mess it up. So kind of knowing all that,
having that knowledge help a whole lot. And you can
(17:01):
make a rough sketch of the house and the driveway
and popul line and do some measuring and then the
orientation of its north, south, east and west. How does
this thing? Where's his face? And then number one and
number two? What do you want the tree to do?
Do you want it to plug up the drainage pattern
and see get water in the house. No, you want
(17:23):
to you wanted to accentuate the house. Give me some
fall color, place for birds and wild black maybe some
shading in the afternoon. I have a real nice Chinese
protasion on the west side of the driveway about fifteen
feet away, and it chased my old truck real nice
when I get home. That's a good friend to have,
(17:44):
but it's far enough away to where it's not really
a pass.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
It does its job.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
So yeah, and also consider your your soil type. When
the planet is this thing. I had to use an
old rock bar and a shovel just to pick a
little hole in the ground. So I get the squeezes
thing in there and it took off and did pretty well,
So be strategic about where they put there. Also. The
tree of the week is the cedar's theodora or the
(18:12):
did our cedar, and it's native to the Himalayas, so
they should adapt very well here because our weather changes
so quickly and it grows as high as thirty feet
tall in his first ten years. It's a long lived
and kind of a troubled free tree. Of most areas,
it does need neutral to slightly alkaline soil. That's probably
(18:36):
why it does pretty well here. So we have a
neutral too slightly alcohol alcohol alkaline somewhere you go, or
breaking baking soda for soil. It does pretty well. So
that might be a consideration for an accent tree, or
maybe some screening or shading or something you might want
to frame the house with that put it off to
(18:57):
the side, seeking to give them a framework for the
house too. And because it is kind of a low
branched and when you cut it up from the ground,
it's kind of ugly, so you want to let it
stay pretty close to the ground as it grows up.
These are available in several several shapes too. There's a
one that's weeping it comes up. They're kind of expensive though.
(19:18):
They run you about three hundred dollars. But they have
a branch that comes down like this like a question mark.
And what that does. They use a reverse graft to
make the tree have a little trouble with gravity, and
it has this weeping habit. You're really attractive. They don't
get so big, but they do like the good drainage
and they like neutral soil. Do fine. Be sure to
(19:42):
cut the ropes on the rip ball when you plant
it so it doesn't jell it so anyway, so that
they're kind of a nice tree to give you some color.
Not a whole lot of work. I don't think we
have it on the hand right now, but we can
get you something so once established. It's very drough tolerant too.
Most of your needle trees like that here did our
(20:03):
cedars and spruce of needly things. Typically they are a
very drought tolerant. They grow in environments where the soil
as well was drained and rocky, and they're subjected to
times when they don't have rain. So the your needle
leaved plants typically have more drought tolerant than your big
(20:25):
flat leave plants. There you go, plant physiology, one on one.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
There you go. Okay, he went to College of Knowledge.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Okay, uh, shrub of the week is a firepower dwarf
and nantina. He said, Oh my god, da, this one.
This is a really good plant's brilliant crimson fall through
winter folded. I had some in my house and just
as red as those buttons over there all winter long,
(20:54):
really nice wayside John High. Yeah, and they kind of
grow these kind of floppy with age and kind of
ugly looking at all. That important thing is to cut
them back to get that way in the spring, not
w yeah, but yeah, don't do other shows, but in
the in the spring, just before the leaves are emerging,
(21:15):
get them back rather low and then make nice looking
shrubs again. So if your dwarf nandinas are looking a
little unruly, is like anything else that's unrually, it needs
a little bit of discipline. Stern cutback, turn well, not
that bad run over with the lawnmower. Kevin but I
(21:36):
would go ahead and trim it back. And it's kind
of easy to tell what needs to be cut off
because it's real kind of legging and floppy that it's tall.
So it does get that way. So a little bit
of maintenance. I do that on my things in my
holly bunches. My dwarf field puns get a rather stern
haircut too. In the spring. Hedge clippers do a good
job and they look like they've been run over for
(22:00):
a while, but a couple of weeks later they're out.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
They're fine.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Fine. Yeah, so uh mandinas, don't give me the fertilizer
at this point. And when you do give them fertilizers,
don't give them very much. You don't want them to
get too stretching tall. These plants. I have some of
my house beautiful things. I never never fertilize them. They
do just fine.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Nice And I got terrible soil, absolutely rotten soil, well.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Not rotten, it's just none. So they do pretty well.
It's a good idea. Also have a good layer of
mult on the ground. They do have their limitations as
far as cold it's concerned. So if you if you
don't have any leaves around them, or any kind of moults.
You might want to consider multing them just so they
can survive the winter. They are getting a little expensive
than they used to be, so you want to preserve
(22:48):
them as much as possible. So firepower dwarf Mandina. There's
our shrub at of the week.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
All right, We're gonna right now take a break out
of the hour and we'll be right back after this
time out.

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 rows of sharon. Plus
they always have new shipments of trees and shrubs, new
shipment of houseplants, African violensts including carnivorous plants. Now's the
(24:53):
time to soak escue seed and green Tham has five
stark escu seed in five to fifty pounds bags in
stock green thum D three in greenhouses on the Wetter Road,
open Monday through Saturday, ninety four.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
All right, it's a eight thirty four sixty degrees inching
up there as we head for high of eighty one today.
It's gonna be a gorgeous day to get out and
abount and do a lot of things outdoors. And that's
why we do have our program called the Green Country Gardener,
so in case you're so inclined, you can do it
the right way. It's really hard when you don't know
what you're doing, and if you have a question nine one, eight, three, three, six,
(25:38):
fourteen hundred. There are a lot of folks who will
go out and mean well, Larry, but if they don't
have the right instruction, it could be more more work
than your bargain.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
For now than endinga is you said they're members of
the Barbary family, Yes, And you can tell their members
the Barbara family by the color of the stems. Down
below the bark there's yellow, and so the Barbaries share
that heartiness and ability to take abuse rather well. But
(26:12):
a lot of people at their Barbaries get rather large.
I rather like them for a color. The crimson Pygmy
barry just can't Barbary just can't be beaten. But the
important thing is to cut it down fairly low. Once
year it gets leggy and ugly and kind of quirky looking.
And my neighbor crossed the street from I was looking
like that, and I advised him to cut them down.
(26:33):
To cut them down. Well, okay, we'll see. And they're beautiful,
a very rich purple color colored leaves in there, really
quite nice.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
So that they do need some discipline. So the danding
is in the barbariges. But they're really good plants here
because they don't really have any pets, easy to manage,
and you just really do it anything with them just
once a year.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Really, that's it they perform.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Yeah, just just to cut it and set it and
get it. Yeah, so you might consider that just for
some color accidents. They're gonna start making a show here.
As soon as we get some cold weather. I noticed
the trees outside some of them started to turn, some
of them kind of turned yellow and falling off. But really,
the hybrid maples depend on a really good show despite
(27:26):
all the then obless weather pattern. So going back to trees, though,
you might want to consider something like that. A lot
of the hybrid trees are more deeply rooted. Say you
want to avoid silver maples because of their shallow root system.
You can't plant anything around their grass will grow around them,
et cetera. So, but some of the hard maples do
really well. And we did a project over at the
(27:50):
Union Bank over there across from the Cemetery where we
did a steel ring around the trees and those autumn
flame maples that put on a really big show.
Speaker 8 (28:00):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
But the steel rings with the mulch in there, it
dresses them up real nice. And it also keeps that
weed eater damage away. Yeah, most of the problems people
have with their trees, they say, what's wrong with my trees?
Dying to look at it the barxicon. Yeah, for the
weed eaters. So it's a good idea to have a
ring of steel or stone or something around the tree
(28:23):
just so it doesn't get that damage. You can even
use that two landscape timbers and cut them in half
and make it four by four foot square around the tree.
Kind of dresses them up a little bit too, and
it does protect them so good idea to do that
when you plant the tree. Okay, So house plants, they're
becoming a bit of a vogue, if you will. We
(28:44):
have a greenhouse full of house plants right now, a
great selection, so come check it out. That's nice African
violets and some other things. At the nursery. As your
attention turns inwards, we have stuff for that too, dilemension.
We have trees on sale too, just a.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Little litle bit.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Yeah. I think it's thirty something like that, twenty five percent.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
That's something.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Yeah, so you got to well, you're really getting to
the root of the problem there. I think we'll leave this. Okay, Okay,
you're dropping you a seed for conversation. Okay, annuals. It's
possible to have color all year round with the proper
(29:27):
planting of annuals. You need a little bit late to
plant pansies, a little bit. Yeah, so they should be
established pretty well right now. If you do plant them
right now. You want to get some mult to to
moderate peaks and valleys and soil temperature moisture as well.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Get them.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
So you've got to get on the ball if you're
going to do that. It's right close to December so
and the annual the week is impatience yea, otherwise known
as anyway that they're very I have a well known
Saint Pauli is another word for them. But anyway, they
(30:06):
do pretty well here. But there's kind of mounting plants
and with a lot of color throughout the whole summer.
They do really well until it gets extraordinarily dry. So
you want to do some real good ground prep. You
gotta have all want you to do this, tom Yes,
so you might want to go ahead and get your
(30:27):
ground ready. But anyway, so the compost works really well
and it does make the slow good loose these impatients.
If there's any plant that's not native to the area
of the impatient, is the boats a child for that.
So we do have to do some ground prep. There's
another variety of in patients called the sun patients, and
(30:48):
they take the sun really quite well too. They do
very well here in full sun too. There are some
great examples here in town of sun patients and they
did did really quite well until last week. So you
might consider planning that out for next year. Some sun
(31:10):
patients in with your landscape and keep in mind up
big to you get this one plant would get almost
the size of a bushel basket. And I like to
just mix up the colors and put them in a
row or in a grouping, and it makes a whole
lot of flower show in the summer. So you might
consider some sun patients next year to do that, though
you want to spend some time this winter getting the
(31:33):
ground ready. Winter typically is one of our driest times
of the year, so you could take advantage of that
and mix some composts into the soil to make it
better for the sun patients to grow. So it doesn't
it doesn't hurt one little bit to get your ground
prep ready. You know that when it happens. So when
when the spring comes to the plant, the plants won't
(31:54):
sit in the garage for a week while you get
your ground ready. You just put it right in the
ground and go. Just think ahead exactly it works, wonders
Planting plants a plant? Yeah, have a plan, you bet
so planting platients after the the last chance of frost
has passed and they can be planted around trees and planters,
(32:14):
hanging baskets and window boxes as long as it's somewhat
shaded but not you know, for the sun patients not
too too shaded, but impatients themselves will grow pretty well
in the shade. And most is essential is essential for
your impatience. They don't like peaks and valleys and moisture.
(32:35):
Pretty much. A constant supply of water, that's what you need.
Because when you look at the stem of it and
you cut it and you squeeze it, if you will,
most of what you get is water and very little tissue.
So these are very very water holding plants, and they
don't do well. They're just going to get wilt if
(32:56):
they run out of water. So you want to have
a soil where the can really grow out and exploit it.
And you want to have a soil that does a
very good job of retaining that water. So composted peep
moss and stuff like that, you will have success with
your son patients. And don't put it off to the
last minute.
Speaker 1 (33:15):

it's a forty four sixty degrees and your phone cloths
are welcome at nine one eighty three three stakes fourteen hundred.
Lurry Glass is our expert, Larry. Where are we here?
Speaker 2 (35:56):
Perennials. Perennials are very kind of important in the landscape
because they come back every year.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
They do.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
So one one I really like is called corabells, and
they're also called chatterbox, but.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
I would recognize them as corabells.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Okay, they have an attractive foliage, and we have it
available in yellow and purple and red colors and all that,
even green ones too. But what I like the ease
is little the color accents here and there, maybe have
a boulder or something, and they look really good against
that and along pathways or something. They make an attractive
(36:32):
color thing in the landscape. And they're really they're just
kind of a no care plant. So there used to
be corbells. The old fashioned ones are just sort of
green leaf and these little little tiny pink flowers on them.
That's all they're worth. But they've managed to hybridize them
where they have some very attractive colored leaves on them.
And what I like about this is the wildlife doesn't
(36:52):
like it too. Well, Oh yeah, there you go. There's
a bonus, and they do give you some color. Are
for basically alsome long you do don't do anything to them.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
Really, I'm liking these things.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
The good plants. Yeah, they don't like the full hot sun.
The ones with the barrigated leaves don't like the fall
hot sun. They associate nactually with say ferns and hostage.
They kind of these are kind of a medium picture,
so you get the fine texture of the ferns and
the horse texture the hostas and someone. So they sort
of go with it real nicely, little color accents. So
(37:28):
you might consider corbells. They are very tolerant of drought,
wind and heat, and they're mainly grown from their foliage,
but they produce little spikes of blooms and white pinkle coral.
These planets long lasting with minimal care, about ten to
twenty four inches tall, fifteen to twenty four inches spread.
I like to use them to say a long pathways
(37:49):
or as a border in the garden where it gets
some shielding from the hot afternoon the sun. Just because
they are so carefree. You might consiteer getting some of those.
We grow a lot of them at the nursery too.
In fact, some of them flew in from I don't
know whether for for us to grow and nurture them
the greenhouse and move them back getting ready for sail
in the spring. So it's a good plant too to
(38:11):
happen the landscapes. But it doesn't like the really hot
hot sun. Okay, time to dig your sweet potatoes. Probably
too late to harvest it. If you didn't harvest your pumpkins,
they're probably concaved. Yeah. It did get a little cold. Yeah, okay,
so not much going on the vegetl guard and maybe
(38:31):
some cool season things like peas and engrossed in spanach
and whatnot. Long as it doesn't get so awful cold,
lettuce and things like that will be just fine. Okay,
So golly talked a lot today.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
Boy did we ever? You covered a lot of ground?
You ground cover or you.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
We can talk. I guess a little bit about the
irrigation system.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Let's do that.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
I think because of our rather upsy, downsy type of
climate here that's putting it in my open, you might
want to consider some kind of an irrigation thing. It
just helps moderate things because when you come home from
work and your plants are all wilted yuck, you know.
So you know, there are drip systems which work rather well.
You protect them to your hoes, and there's several methods
(39:14):
by which the drip system can be installed. We've used
the drip piping. It's it's a it's maybe a rainbird.
It's it comes in a big old roll and you
put it on your plants and it distributes water evenly
at the ground level and you can connect that to
your faucet. And they make these little timers and some
(39:35):
of them you can even control with your phone, which
is kind of cool. And oh, I don't feel like
turning it on up.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
Yeah it's one finger, folks.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
Yeah, so it's not going to kill you, so that
might be uh, you know. A consideration is a some
kind of an irrigation thing like that. At my house,
I have something kind of like that. It's you know,
it has a little valves underground with a mainline feeding it,
and it little sprayhead little drip sprayheads water stuff, and
(40:09):
it's on my telephone.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
But I have to keep up with the technology so.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
Well, you do very well.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
We've done that really most of most of our project.
People really want that, some people they don't have anything
to do with it. Some people really want to do it.
So it depends depends and your brand of the timer
you choose also depends on that also. And typically when
you install the irrigation system, you want to have some
kind of logic to the succession of watering. In other words,
(40:41):
it does the curve in the front yard and the
side yard, in the backyard and out. You gotta have
it around there, and I have a logical sequence like that,
just so you know what's going to happen when you're
out there. And if you do have a sprinker system
and it does kind of bounce around over the yard,
(41:02):
you might do a rough map of your property. You
can get from Google Earth. You can get the good
shots of your property, and then you can shade in
the areas where these circuits go and put that up
by the timer so you don't have to ask Mabel
where is it going? Now you know you have that
full knowledge right in front of you. They see circle
number three is in the backyard, so you turn the
(41:23):
little dial the number three into the gold button.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
Next thing you know, you can do it almost all
by yourself.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
Yeah, and then you'll know it. And when we install them,
we have a logical sequence. Not only is it in
a logical sequence and order in the yard, but the
wiring also we do it alpha the americally, so black
and blue, brown and so on, so they progress that way.
So you know, if you lose all that, you can
(41:49):
just look at the color of the wires. Well, yeah,
that's number three of the thrower goes over there.
Speaker 1 (41:55):
So yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
Yeah, you always want to get some kind of a
zone map if you will. It makes it so much
it's easier for everybody. Takes the guess work out of
it too.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
You know when you have to call the repair person. Yeah,
you know.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
And another thing is the wire coming out of the house.
To see some of them that are beat up with
weed eaters and stuff like that. You want to put
a conduit around that so that doesn't happen. To just
protect that's the biggest problem that people have with their
springker systems is the wiring and actually the decomposition of
the wiring connections too. That's very important. Make sure they're
(42:31):
properly field. Yeah, it got it.
Speaker 1 (42:34):
Okay, we're going to take a quick break and we
will be back after this four minute time out. It
looks like yes, four minutes.

Frank Phillips, the old man with barred wired nerves and
the courage of a wolf, didn't realize his own capacity
to love until after the death of his dear wife
Jane in nineteen forty eight. He no longer heard her
laughter in the mansion in town, nor enjoyed the long
drives out to his beloved Woolarock, where they would often
go to share an evening dinner after her death, he
(43:33):
found himself waking to the cold reality of her absence
and confided to others that his soul ached. More and
more of Frank's time was being spent at the ranch,
sitting on the front porch of the lodge and enjoying
the magnificent view and likely reflecting back on an incredible
life of personal and professional accomplishments. However, without his wife
(43:53):
in the chair next to him, these simple joys became
shallow to Uncle Frank. After her death, those around Frank
soon discovered that he had one desire, and that was
to build a mausolem at Woolloarock to serve as a
final resting place for Jane and himself. He had picked
out the spot years before, a favorite spot that overlooked
one of the beautiful lakes that dotted the grounds of
(44:13):
the ranch. Inspired by the memorial built for his good
friend Will Rogers and Claremore, the mausolem soon became the
primary focus of Frank's life. Once construction started on the
mausolem in nineteen forty nine, he personally came out every
day to see how work was progressing. Frank wanted it
within walking distance of the lodge, yet not directly in
(44:34):
the public eye, which is why he chose the site
above Elk Lake, one of his favorite fishing holes at Woollarock.
Built of native stone with no cut edges, the tomb
appeared to spring from the side of the hill as
if it was part of the terrain. Workmen blasted through
eighteen feet of solid rock to form the burial chamber,
and the twenty four square foot room was lined with
(44:55):
a twelve inch steel reinforced concrete wall. The chamber was
air conditioned and a telephone was installed Inside. The mausolem
is a circular rotunda outlined by eight columns of Saint
Cecilia marble imported from Italy, which rises ten feet to
a dome. The walls are covered with thousands of mosaic tiles,
(45:15):
and in the center of the room is an eight
pointed star formed by the different shades of marble. Construction
took about a year, and as soon as it was completed,
Frank had Jane's casket brought from White Rose Cemetery and
a memorial service was held at the new mausolem. To
his friends and staff, mister Phillips seemed happier than at
any time in recent years. His final work was completed
(45:38):
and he could return to the porch of the lodge,
which he did until his death on August twenty third,
nineteen fifty. The magic of Woolarock is a story worth
sharing and it can be found everywhere at this national treasure.
Come see it for yourself and welcome home to Wollarock.

Green Country Gardner Program.
Speaker 1 (46:43):
It's a fifty five sixty degrees and on line open
at nine one, eight, three three six fourteen hundred Lerig Glass.
What's going on in the shop.
Speaker 2 (46:52):
I can imagine all your sunflowers dancing to that music.
Speaker 1 (46:55):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (46:56):
At the shop, we've got trades on sel. We have
a great selection of the house plants and garden chemicals
and things like that to maintain your guard if you will.
You know, kinds of advice too. After the show, I've
got an appointment with somebody to talk to them about
their garden and what to do.
Speaker 1 (47:10):
Very good.
Speaker 2 (47:11):
So I'm busy. I know that.
Speaker 1 (47:15):
You know, when we go out there to the shop,
you're gonna get some steps in because it's huge, but
you've got everything where you want it and very easy
to find. Very helpful people out there too. Well.
Speaker 2 (47:28):
When we did a delay out of it, there's a
we have a shade house structure in a greenhouse, and
the show house or the showroom itself, there's a loop
going around all of them, so you can see the
entire thing in a very short stroll walking through everything
like that. So there's that there's that level of circulation,
(47:48):
and then around the outside of that, trucks and cars
can loop the road also pick up heavy things so
you don't have to carry them so far.
Speaker 1 (47:57):
I like that really well thought.
Speaker 2 (47:59):
I did that back in the eighties and designed that out.
It worked out really well.
Speaker 1 (48:03):
Sure, and don't forget folks, just for the heck of it.
They got a waterfall in there.
Speaker 2 (48:09):
Oh the waterfall. Yeah, it's just due for cleaning though.
We usually do that in the winter time. Sure drained out,
cleaning up real good, but it still looks really good.
Another thing, I did that one in the eighties. You
did that, Yeah, I built that thing. You have to
cast the concrete.
Speaker 1 (48:23):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (48:24):
Yeah. It's got three oil drums in the middle of
it as a compression form, and then I used an
expansion form with Mason and I and flightwood and stuff too,
and not really good.
Speaker 1 (48:35):
So you use some science.
Speaker 2 (48:38):
It's it's only forty years old.
Speaker 1 (48:41):
It's work on time of that folks. You know wind chimes,
you have those two? Oh golly, yeah, the thing is
that's the first thing I noticed when I walk.
Speaker 2 (48:49):
Yeah. Yeah, they open up the doors on the north wind.
You know it usually it makes a lot of noise.
And those make great gifts. We sold some of them.
Actually sold the Love yesterday.
Speaker 1 (49:00):
I bet you did. So they sell themselves.
Speaker 2 (49:03):
Really good gifts. And my daughter got one twenty years
ago and it's still hanging in my backyard. Yeah, so
they're they're long lasting. They use a I forget the
name of an outfit to make them, but anyway, they
use a UV stabilized a string on it and uh
it's and IM and they're tuned too to them a
(49:24):
lot of tone. It's not that shrill and musical. A
lot of people in town who are very musically inclined.
You included, oh, thank you and uh yeah or declined,
but depends on so they send harmony and how the
how these waves work and all that too to make it,
to make it sound good and harmonized. So these are
(49:46):
fine tuned for it. Just for that reason. They're a
little expensive. But god, if you're gonna last you twenty
thirty years, I mean.
Speaker 1 (49:53):
It's a nice investment.
Speaker 2 (49:54):
Yeah you don't. You don't fall on the ground and
make this racket in the middle of what is that?
So anyway, check us out. We've got a great selection
of trees right now. And the shrubs. We've got a
lot of shrubs. We have plenty of the basics and
and some others we're going into the winter time. You
just don't carry a whole lot.
Speaker 1 (50:12):
True, but we carry a lot of ideas.
Speaker 2 (50:15):
Exactly, but we can get those and we do still
we have some on stock too, so we keep them.
Keep them there so evergreens and other things. So anyway,
check us out where you located. We are on No
Water Road, halfway between Madison Boulevard and Highway seventy five,
on the south side of the road.
Speaker 1 (50:33):
Can't miss it.
Speaker 2 (50:33):
We have a next to a church over there, and
then there's a ice cream shop and a place to
wash your car too, So people come in and grab
an ice cream, pome or the car, pick up some plants,
you know.
Speaker 1 (50:45):
Go home, get it all too. Said man, I'm done
for the day. Oh man, Well, you know, we do
have a little threat of rain coming up here this
week and then we'll keep an eye on that and
then if it does, and to make sure you keep things,
you know, nice and hydrated. As we go into the drive.
Speaker 2 (51:04):
Yeah, it's going to get a little on the dry side,
so you want to watch your stuff right carefully and
don't forget to water it all right, get that shovel sharp.
We'll see you next week.

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.
