On how to make that yard andgarden look rage. The Green Huntry Gardener
program with our expert Lorry Glass,is brought to you by Green Humblers,

(00:25):
to ninety five point one is onthe air, and good morning, good
morning, good morning, and welcome, welcome, welcome. At time of
the Green Country Gardener, it's eighto nine and you can get a hold
of us at one eight hundred andseven four nine, five nine three sixty.

(00:48):
Here he is our garden guru,the one, the only you know
him, the other can't live withouthim. Larry Glass, How are you
doing there, young man? Tim? I do too. That little tire
is kind of hot. Let well, I think he's to get a little
hotter. Oh thank you, Ireally need that, jeez. You know,
uh, pretty soon you'll you'll startworking at at four am. You

(01:11):
get out there to beat the heat. Well, are you coming in to
work at six thirty? I knowthat at daybreak? Well, people say,
you say we can have it deliveredyour house by seven o'clock in the
morning to go what yeah, yeah, because it gets hot, it gets
very hot. So are we comingearly and leave kind of in the middle
of the afternoon, just when you'rejust about ready to pass out? Brow

(01:36):
the whistle found to go home.Here. It's not getting any better this
week. You no rain, nothingcoming on. Nope, it's all gonna
be uh are better? How's thereservoir doing? Holding steady? Good?
For now? For now? Ithink it's a good idea to go ahead,
and can you continue to the traditionif you will, and just water
your stuff fairly infrequently. It's it'snot healthy for your plants. Just water

(02:01):
water, water, water water.You wanted a little bit of drawing out
of it between watering, just justso you don't get rott yeah, dad,
get rotten rits. And then andthen it gets cool, the plants
die and they they kind of fallover. What's some matters if you wanted
it too much in the summer.I mean they're crape myrtles, they're not

(02:23):
cattails. Come on anyway, atthe nursery, we do have some nice
Japanese maples and some crape myrtles andother things. Good selection of dwarf Haberda
spruce and a few roses. Rightnow it's difficult to keep them watered and
not get a little black spot onthem, but they're all right, they'll

(02:44):
come out okay. So uh andmore plants on the way, Gary and
I ordered a bunch of stuff summingin, so fall is going to be
pretty nice. And the growers arepromising really nice stuff because apparently they had
some problems with them in the spring. That's why that we had a shortage
of plants this year. It givesa little cool places, yeah, and

(03:04):
it kind of burned it back alittle bit. Now they've had all the
summer to grow. So the fall, the false subs going to be really
nice. Ka boom nice And we'reordering a bunch of it cheese all right.
So anyway, here it comes inthe garden and your fruit trees right
now, there's some boars, alittle bit of a call for boars right
now in your fruit trees. Leastspots a little bit of a problem.
Gives a fungicide listen to control leastspotto fruit trees. There you go,

(03:29):
simply some copper sulfate works pretty well. Copper copper fertilizer works really well.
Fertilizer fungicide, Yeah, works prettywell to have keep that under control.
There's a little bit of leaf tatteron them for all the wind we've had
and the some hail. You shouldsee my Swiss cheese elephant eaters. Oh.

(03:49):
Anyway, we had two hailstorms hererecently. Yes, and use one
that's listed for control at least.Bottom fruit tree is pretty simple. Do
She's something that's not overly toxic,and you'll do b to grass right now.
It's it's uh summer. It's growingrather well. Actually did quite well.
My yard a little bit out ofcontrol. The pearl snapper was bogged

(04:13):
down real bad. I got it, I got it all moved before the
hwa threw me out. It didgrow fast after those rainstorm I did quite
fast. Bang. I'm like,oh my gosh, you just bull and
my elephants pull on new leaves.They're they're taller than I am. Just
leaves. Of course, they're ina bed where I put the grass flippings

(04:34):
in the leaves. I dumped themon there and just kind of mixed it
in with the soil and a lotof organic stuff. I really like that,
or or or they just planted overthe buried electric lines maybe I don't
know. Anyway they're doing. Andthe cannas are real tall to right now.
They're bloom right now, so it'sa busy time in the garden.

(04:57):
So it's ups growing a row ball. Tomatoes are showing some heat related problems,
you know, as far as Ijust use on mine silpy water to
help control the mice. I've hadsome spider mites on my tomatoes and some
white lights. White flies a difficultinsectute control, and I had really good

(05:18):
luck with just with some silky water, you kind of pretty well under control.
So and of course let's say youhave clean tomatoes that way too.
Don't worry about that. On yourcrape myrtles right now, a lot of
people have spent blooms on them.The day length is still long enough to

(05:41):
where they will put on some moreflowers. Yeah, So if you want
to get out there before it getstoo hot, you can clip off to
the spent blooms, the bloom heads, and they'll they'll bush out, differentiate
and make some more flowers, hopefullybefore it gets too late in the season,
So that's about it with crape myrtles. Also to look for a scale

(06:02):
insect on crape myrtles, we mentionedthat in the past, and a scale
insect that can decimate a crape urdleplant, so you want to make sure
to wash out for those. Andit's characterized by these little white, cottony
like flectors as in the mature stage. Is kind of a burned up fried

(06:23):
egg oh wow, okay in appearanceand a blackening of the stem and the
under size of leaves is a characteristicof a scale insects and I've seen a
lot of them with it on it. So you want to look at that
and an observed and do something aboutit. Scale insect is controlled with a

(06:43):
dormant oil, but dormant oil isdifficult on the plants as well, so
you want to pick a time whenit's relatively cool, so you're out there
spraying your crape rules at sunset justso that they don't overheat from it.
You cook them. Yeah, sothat's doing okay. The roses are blowing

(07:04):
pretty well right now, just occasionflower here and they don't don't expect too
much out of them in the heat. And those find knocked outs on the
north side of the house are puttingon some flowers. I noticed that I
was driving away this morning, Igot knocked out roses. So anyway,
now the ones on the south side, I think that's response to the relative
cool spell we just had. Thatwas nice. We got more work done

(07:28):
than that four days and we're workingin a month. Yeah, hydrange is
right now. Don't expect too muchout of them right now. They don't
like the heat to you. Well, I was at a house yesterday beautiful
hydrangea bushes, big old leaves,no flowers, but really nice big leaves.
And I think it's it seems alittle more phosphorous because it's a lot

(07:54):
of a lot of just growth butnot much bloom. So it's a little
too much nitrogen probably on that goodhealthy lifting plants. Interesting texture too.
I don't have any hydranges at myhouse. It wouldn't make it now with
that soil you got, no,Well, that's soil number one and number
two. I'm just not home.Well, it's working. I saw the

(08:18):
hydrange Just don't expect too much ofthem this time of year, because it's
just not when they really initiate blooms. Now later on the fallow we have
some cool, cool weather coming in. I'll probably put on some flowers too,
and oak leaf hydro and just look, they're worse right now too,
but they'll snap out of it.Seems it cools down. That little could
spell did bring some leaves out onsome of them, but that obviously isn't

(08:43):
going to last. So anyway,there's it's kind of quiet time in the
last well, yeah, here hereit is. It's it's getting to be
mid to late August. It's harderthan all get out, and then you're
waiting for things to grow. Yeah. One thing I've noticed also on the
increase out there are Japanese beetles.Oh yeah, they like to heat,

(09:07):
do they? Well, yeah,they overwinter in the larval stage. It's
going to do other damage. Andthe larvae move up near the soil and
feed on plant riots, and lateMay they pupate and begin adults make their
appearance to yarkuity until September actulate andsoil again and so on. The eat
roots stuff for plants. One thingI find that the Japanese beetles really like

(09:31):
is a poke weed. I'm surewe're all familiar with poke weeds. And
big glossy leaves on it. AndI had one getaway in the backyard.
It's all eaten up and its surroundedby Japanese beetles. Oh boy, they
had a feast. Uh yeah,And really you need to understand the life
cycle of the Japanese beetle different.Right, you can control them while they're

(09:54):
underground with some milk pie spur.We're gonna try to carry some of that.
I've seen it on Amazon on milkysports something. It's a bacterial like
thing. It's a disease they getthat kills them. So the Japanese beetles
are pretty bad. And the adultstage there are this green bugs to fly

(10:15):
around. I remember we were kids. We take a thread and and tie
it to the wing of the Japanesebeetle and flying around like the strange little
boys real North Carolina. What areyou gonna do? Yeah, we're going

(10:37):
to fly Japanese beetles around, flylike a kite. Okay, you do
that, SI. So anyway tocontrol them early in the morning or late
in the evening, when you canshake the beetles from plasts from to the
ground on on sheets prepped and destroythem that way, or you can place
permone traps, which we don't haveany right now, but we probably get

(11:01):
some, and there's shuttle ways tocontrol them. But really, the Japanese
beetle is just everywhere, and you'rereally it's difficult to control them in your
yard because they come in and insectsor you know, their populations they're kind
of like soap bubbles. You know, you pop some, Yeah, there's

(11:22):
okay, there's no soapy bubbles there. Well, the other's kind of kind
of migrate and fill them the gaps. Oh, they do dynamics with populations
like that. Wow, I didn'tknow that. So you'll have to Yeah,
you control them in your yard,but your if your neighbors have a
bunch of them, it's like rinselather repeat. Yeah, they're gonna come
They're gonna come over and take over. So you can do what you can

(11:43):
to control them, but because oftheir mobility and so on, it's difficult
to you to eliminate, to eliminatethem all together on your property. Now
you can in the in the larvalstage underground, you you can't control them.
That's why they do their most damagein the larval stage and the melcury
sports good for that. See whatWe're gonna take a quick break, Larry.

(14:37):
You know what I mean? Yeah, and welcome back. You are
free Cunt Regardinger program. Larry Glasses, the man with all the plans,
I'm Tom, I had his answeredthe phone and one eight hundred seven four
nine five nine three six. We'vegot going here, Larry. Hey,
we were talking about Japanese being lesswe were, and there are several insect

(14:58):
sectis you can use after you know, afterwards. But anyway, I think
you're gonna need to kind of beproactive on these and get the and the
milky spoil will be will be thebest way to get them underground, get
them before they come up. Butyou're still going to have them coming in
from outside sources. So if youdo get an infestation, you might want

(15:20):
to consider using botanical insecticide like kneemoil and stuff. Like that. There's
a good job to control them.Jay for cool. So that's uh,
it's been a you know, wereally haven't had much of a problem with
Japanese beetles. It's exceptional this yearin the year before, and I've seen
an increase in the population this yeartoo, So something to keep your eye

(15:41):
out. They can be rather damagingto your plants and things. So talk
about elephanters with with Swiss cheese leaveson them, raving your your book weed.
So anyway, the tree what I'dlike to talk about this week,
the tree of the week is likeginko. Now you got your males and

(16:04):
you got your females. Don't worry. It's not the birds and the bees
we're talking about here, but theydo have interesting properts. It's called geko
by Lobo. Oh yeah. Wellyeah. The leaf is shape kind of
like a fan that's a bit ofa cut in the middle of it,
and it's very unique in appearance.It's it's only it's the only plant that

(16:25):
has a leaf like that, reallya fan shape leaf, and all the
all the vascular tissue goes kind ofparallel out from the center of it.
There's no you know, no divisionslike a lot of leaves. This is
fascinating leaf really, and they canget to be pretty large trees, up
to maybe a hight of twenty tothirty five feet tall or no, no,

(16:48):
no, sixty six fifteen feet tosay, yeah, yeah, I
had a female variety. Yeah,my notes have it in metric you okay,
so you're wow. They can getup to one hundred and sixty feet
tall in their native habitat. Theseare our native to China now, and

(17:11):
what's cool about this tree is geneticallyit's been somewhat unaltered since the Cretaceous period.
So these when the dinosaur and roamingthe earth. Good stuff for not
historic. Yeah, these these thesewere prevalent and you see a lot of
tussils, fossilized geeka leads or someof these layers. No, I did

(17:34):
not know this. This is prettycool. Yeah, but not here.
No, this was at the time. This was a shallow sea here.
So the best we can get hereare cranolids alf of Mexico came clear up
through bart a little bit. Yeah. So anyway, this tree has been
been successful for a long time.And what a luck about is it is

(17:57):
it's tolerant for herban conditions for onething, and it is dioecious. Male
and female and separate plants. Sothe males don't dirty things up, but
the females let their presence, theylet their presents be known, not only
with the fruit, but the smellof the fruit too. Whole buddy.
Yeah, November first, always withoutfail. When I had this up in

(18:18):
Illinois, it felt like the houseis getting bombarded right in the middle of
and I had just started coming downfruits just yeah. And it's stunk.
Oh, it stuck like crazy.You had to go break it up.
You had to get you had tothrow your gloves in your your shoes away
after you got done putting them inthe bags because it just smelled awful.

(18:40):
It just smelled awful. But oneattribute of the plant is, says dioecious,
get the boy plant, lady plant, give you a little problems exactly.
So you want to make sure youget a clone. Yes, you're
doing And that's typically all that issold is a clone, good mail clone,

(19:02):
so good. Anyway, they reallyhave no known pests that they don't
get red rocks like that. Yeah. No, last year, my neighbor
has one behind me and it didn'ttake the drought very well, but did
survive. It was so so drylong. If you could stand the Cretaceous
periods, well, they can gothrough anything. And there really are some

(19:22):
good examples of gink goots here intown, too good. They make a
very good urban tree. They're beautifulas far as you know their behaviors concerned,
and their pest resistance and the rootsystem and all that. They do
very well in an urban situation.Drawback if they grow kind of slow,
and to get one of any size, they're expensive. You have to be

(19:45):
patient. Get this when you're soif you're my age, you don't want
If you're my age, you don'twant to plant a five gallon ginko tree
very much anyway, So you probablywant to spend a little bit of money
to get a big one so youcan have it. And the one behind
me has been there for fifteen years. It's hard, really tall. It's

(20:06):
really a nice tree. So,and there are some here in town.
There's one on Baylor Drive, kindof across from the high school. They're
really nice specimen plant. Somebody plantedtwo floats of the house. Oh,
but it's not causing any problems becauseof the deeper system. And we have
a customer out by a house outby truck Canon Tech. They have one

(20:26):
in their backyard and golly, it'sshading in the grass. But you don't
have all these surface roots on theground. No, you don't have any
problem with that. And they don'thave any problems with the trees and so
on. And I guess one advantageof this tree perhaps is in the fall,
the leaves just all fall at once. November first, they do.

(20:52):
Like I got a ball hit atree out there. I think it's a
very a very attractive tree, Avery strong tree. Oh it is,
and very uh, you know,well behaved. So we definitely wanted to
consider indeed, but keep in mindthey're relatively slow, so they're deliberately so
if you're coming into town and you'rein your twenties, yeah you want to.

(21:15):
Yeah you get a small one,but you might want to. Uh.
But if you're like like Larry andme between sixteen seventy years we had
some on campus at the University ofGeorgia when I was there, Yeah,
and they were absolutely monstrous. Youcould not reach around. These were huge,

(21:37):
beautiful there and uh you look up, Oh that's an equal tree,
and you know your your business majorssay a lot just big, it's just
a tree and they were planted therein seventeen eighty five, and that that
should give you some idea of longevity. So good trees to have. Indeed,

(22:03):
Kobaloba the tree of the week.Let's take a quick break. We'll
be right back after this a twominute time out. Summertime is insect season
invading your residential business. Act now. Call Accent Pest Control for a Prestiposo

(23:07):
five United Frontals. Were you bornfrom nineteen forty five to nineteen sixty five.
People born during these years are fivetimes more likely to have hepatitis C,
but most people don't know they areinfected. So even if you try
to eat right, exercise, andtake care of yourself, you can still
have hepatitis C, a serious liverdisease that often has no symptoms. In

(23:32):
fact, people can live with hepatitisC for decades without feeling or looking sick.
But over time, hepatitis C cancause serious health problems, including liver
damage, liver failure, or evenliver cancer. Getting tested is the only
way to know if you're infected withhepatitis C. That's why the CDC recommends

(23:52):
everyone born from nineteen forty five tonineteen sixty five get a blood test for
hepatitis C. Treatments are available theycan cure this disease, so talk to
your doctor about getting tested. Itcould save your life. A message from
the CDC, oh Christ is whatthey found me? Ain't gonna stop?

(24:14):
Can they tell me? So?It's not nine miles but our baby,
it's south past unlocked and welcome backto the Great hundred Gardener program. Our
phone lines were open hundred four ninefive nine three six And Larry, what
do we have next on the oldpunch boarding. Well, anyway, we
talked about Geko, but another treethat it's a consider it kind of close

(24:38):
to the Geko tree as far asgrowth and depth of system and hardiness all
that concern. And that's the pustachees pustache. The Chinese pustache is dioecious,
like the ginko, dioecious meaning maleand female and separate plants. And

(24:59):
if you're lucky to get him,they're really good trees, but a female,
they're a little bit on the messyside. Fall color is really outstanding
on the pistache, as as isthe gek go. The gekle turns a
a Baltimore yellow color and the pistachegoes anywhere from yellow to orange even the
red color depending on the weather.So it does have a factor in it

(25:23):
too. That last fall was kindof a dunkey year from fall colors all
the way around. It just hot, you know, leaves twists got hot
and then they fell off. Wedidn't have that. It's the middle of
August. You guys need to getbusy, get some rain going, so
you have a pretty fall. Yeah, so anyways, your fault. Anyway,

(25:44):
you might consider the pistachia. Itgrows faster, and it say it's
readily available, it's not as expensive. And I dug went up out of
my back yard, actually came upand planeted about ten feet twelve feet away
from the driveway on the west chaisean old truck at night when I come
home. Nice and it's uh,it was just a little tagment of Planeted

(26:07):
about ten years ago and it's reallygrown nicely. So does it grow a
little bit faster than the gang gotvery much? So, yes, So
it would be a good parallel tothat too. So anyway, on other
things with fruit trees, beginners andcalls and boars and fruit trees, so
the admitt of clor brid will willbe effective in controlling that. Right now,

(26:30):
you could use a spinner's ad asa surface treatment on the stem.
Spinner's ad is an organic kind ofthing. We'd we've discussed it in the
past. It's a blend of spinsand spins in a and spins in B
or C depending on the formulation,and it's uh was found in a rum
factory. All these dead bugs floataround in this vato who knows what it

(26:52):
was, and they figured it outand now we have Spina's ad. It's
very safe for humans and animals andbirds and things, but the bugs don't
like it. Jacky jack dead bug. Yeah, I've used it on my
tomatoes too, or bug control,and it's safe for humans, so it

(27:15):
just messes up the bugs. Bugsdon't like it. Yeah, they kind
of they kind of die out onit. So anyway, that's one way
to control boards. Also, inthe fruit trees, I would on mine,
I use kind of a twofold withthe admdic cloprid and the spinetada.
The timing of the amidic cloprid isvery important. It remains resident in the
tree and it can cause problems withbees in the spring. So if you

(27:37):
have boars on your fruit trees andyou do like to use the yeah,
what not the spinetada admo cloprid,Yeah, yeah, you want to get
after pretty quick because it stays inthe tree for a long period of time
and there's some debate as to whetheror not it makes it through the tissues
to go to the flowers or not. And they've done some studies on it

(28:00):
and some say no, it doesn'tthere's no evidence of it on your flowers,
and some say yes there is.So it just kind of depends on
whose science you want to follow thatday. Well, yeah, and then
the science behind it too, youwant to you want to go and follow
the scientific approach to it and wherethey look for trace elements of it or

(28:21):
trace yeah, trace tracings of theamni cloprit and the flower or not.
So, but to be safe,you want to do it asap. And
and then if you missed the boaton that in the spring, right after
they bloom would be a good timeto do it. Also for the boars,
it can be a real problem.I gotta call the other night with

(28:44):
somebody had the boars on their mapletree to the other night to fill at
nine o'clock at night. What's right? So I got these holes in the
train the barks peeling off said,you have boars, just come by the
nurse Rain will tell you what toget to. It's very easy to apply
to the encloprit. Is you mixit up in a bucket and poured it
on the ground and the tree drawsit up. The molecule is small enough

(29:07):
for the tree to swob it throughthe roots. He goes up to the
vascular system, the insect gnols onit and gets that gets that nickols annoid
knocks it out. So anyway,so that's kind of what's going on with
fruit trees. Also in mine,I look for dead branches and crossing wood
or conflicting wood branches that are likethis, rubbing on each other in the

(29:30):
wind. And also to try tomaintain some kind of balance in the density
of the fruit trees. It shouldbe a good time to do maybe a
little pruning on it at this point. To also look at it and see
the structure. I know, afterall the hailstorms in the heat, you
can see that branching stractor real Well, yeah you can't, So you want
to look at it. And Idon't know how many years you'll get out

(29:52):
of a fruit tree, maybe fifteenor twenty years. Then they gets to
the point where they just get kindof decrepit, and trying to replace them,
they said, we're done. Mightare getting into that point too.
You just got to tie to thetruck and dig them up and plant new
ones happens. I guess cycle alittle pleas don't last forever. Yeah,
so I like those gekos and lastfrom the dinosaurs sixty five million years.

(30:18):
Yes, So anyway, so ifyour fruit trees are getting old, you
might consider getting you replacements perhaps,And as far as the availability of fruit
trees are concerned, it's something thatour suppliers really don't carry. So you
probably want to order them, sayfrom Stark Brothers or something, and you
want to do so pretty quickly andthey'll ship it out at the proper time,

(30:44):
so that way you have a goodselection of what you might want to
get. So anyway, that's kindof it with the fruit trees, watch
the leaves on it, look forblack spot disease. I know that some
of the or the cherry trees andwhatnot get the black spot and that's a
byproduct to the humidity and the heat. But it's been kind of hot,
but we haven't seem to have hadso much humidity this year. It hadn't

(31:07):
been that bad, so it's notmuch of a problem. Okay, But
but some areas something you might wantto look out for anyway, But where
the air doesn't circulate very well.You might want to consider that. And
also when you if you are flattingplanting fruit trees, I'm about did it
phonetic disposition. Are welcome to theclub. I do that bass cryople.

Give you this puzzled look as youwant. Anyway, when you're planting your
fruit trees, you're in an areathat's really open, good air circulation,
good drainage, so on, Andgive them plenty of room twenty five thirty
feet apart so or they can youcan actually do their thing, work with
them a little bit. If youdon't have the room like that, you

(31:53):
might consider a semi dwarf fruit tree, and that way they don't get so
awful big. That's what I didat my house planets in my dwarfs.

Oh. Welcome back to the GreenHuntry Gardener Program. It is eight forty
three on our phone number is oneeight hundred seven four nine five nine three
six. He's Larry and I'm Tom. He knows things. I just answered
the phone. We were talking aboutrotord introns. All yeah, some smart
person in the room here. God, Hey, wow, twelve bucks.

(34:46):
This is gonna look good in theiryard. I just spend forty dollars on
water. You know. It's it'sit's hanging in there. Not very much,
but it's hanging in there. Rotordintrons are They're kind of related to
azilia. Is there an aracacious varietyof plastic bloom in the spring aircacious,
meaning you like acid soil in additionousto areas typically with igneous rock base,

(35:10):
which we don't have here. Typicallywe are sedimentary. It has a lot
of calcium carbonated limestone. So thepah spurns a little higher than what they
like. You have to modify thesoil for the work. And then it
gets too hot and humid for themin the summertime, and they give a
stem virus pretty bad too. Soin other words, the stem just clapsus

(35:30):
and that's the virus that that willget. There is one variety called vulcan
live along and prosper that is wrongwrong one that's motor virus resistant. But
the heat here it gets to them. If you've ever been to North Carolina
to built more house and gardens andareas like that up in the mountains,

(35:52):
rhododend Us over there, the sizeof trees, you know, red buds
are beautiful things. But doesn't evenreach my kneecap yet it looks like it's
fall. The poor thing. Rodardinner. It is a plant that you
just you just can't grow in bartlefills. It's just too hot. Yeah,

(36:14):
somebody got my twelve dollars for it. I guess, oh yeah, yeah,
triple that in water. So anyway, watering, it's a good idea
to let your permiuter graphs dry outbetween waterings. It's it's not a wet

(36:35):
seasoned grass or nothing like that.Are coming to work and every single day
I'll see water going on the trafficcircle of all places, it runs every
single day, you know, maybetwice a week with plenty, but not
every single day. I think thatneeds to be reprogrammed. There's a lot
of water going. It just runsdown there and it's permiter graphs. Come

(36:57):
on, just need that much water. If you have to water my lawn
this year, it looks it looksokay, we've watered ours either. I'm
not for not being watered. Itlooks pretty good. So so permiter grass
doesn't need a lot of water.Maybe once a week, maybe twice a
week. If you really want togive it an inch of water, you

(37:17):
get a nine B thirteen and putit out in the yard and turn on
the sprinkers and calibrate how much timeit takes to get an inch. All
right, I think we have acall here Hi, good morning, Welcome,
Welcome, Welcome. We've got ourexpert Larry Glass here. You questioned
to comment. Yes, I havea question, if you don't mind that
I talk about naked ladies. Okay, I have like chorus. Yes,

(37:45):
transplanted some ball was about three orfour years ago. They've never come up.
Is there can you not transplant them? Or is there a well there
a little shy. Yes. Ihad some that I transplanted in my in
my front yard about three years ago. I haven't seen high or hair of

(38:07):
them till this year. Yeah.So uh no, they'll they'll come up
when when they feel like I get, when they're ready again, Yes,
so they'll they'll do their thing whenthey're ready. Yeah. Also that the
bloom time is very belonged them too. I've seen them bloom earlier on now
and I've seen them bloom you knowright now too. So there's a yeah.

(38:30):
I've noticed that some I've already gotup and they come up and bloomed
in other people's yards, and Ithought, well, I've transplanted these at
least four years ago, I thinkthree to four years ago, and man,
I'm to figure day to come upby now. Yeah, they remember
the amorilla's family and the bulbs themselvesare somewhat toxic to insects. They already
don't bottle them, but they're alittle temperamental. Now in the spring when

(38:54):
they come up they had were youlaughing at? And the spring when they
come up, they have a straplike leaves, almost like an amaryllis,
And so you want to make surethat when they when the leaves do come
up, that you don't cut themback or something. So they okay,
well I've never seen the leaves comeup either. Well maybe maybe they didn't.
I didn't know if they did rollit in the ground or well you

(39:17):
might you might dig around a littlebit and see if they're there actually,
so it could be. Yeah,they happen. I'm just kind of curious.
The other one, Like I moveda peony plant one time and they
took it about five years to bloom. Huh. Well, they're a little
slow to recover. Timing is importanton peony plants. Typically you move those
in February. Oh okay, yeah, all right, well that was my

(39:42):
question then, all right, verygood, thank you very much. All
right, Yes, I'd like horusplants, the plant with the amusing common
name. Yes, but typically they'repink and they come up in the bloom
in the absence of leaves. Okay, that gives it that cold kill name.
Okay. They're otherwise known as likeHorus. So I remember they are

(40:05):
a religious ameralists actually, and they'reinteresting plants. Somebody brought some in and
uh, that's the first time Iheard of him. I'm looking around,
like, you really want to gotalk to hr. So anyway we can
make that happen. The name ofthe flowers extraordinarily easy to grow. You

(40:31):
don't do anything to them, andsome year, yeah, like like from
this case. In the case ofmy house, it was I hadn't seen
him for three years and they poppedit up this year. Oh well,
so that is an interesting how theyhow they grow pretty cool plants. All
right, all right, take it. We're gonna take a time out here.

(40:52):
We'll be back after this three minute, thirty second break. The original
Waldorf a story hotel on Fifth Avein New York City was built in eighteen
ninety three. Constructed in the GermanRenaissance style, the hotel had four hundred
and fifty guest rooms and another hundredrooms for staff. And servants. After
merging with their next door neighbor,the Astoria Hotel, in the eighteen ninety

(41:15):
seven, the hotel had one thousand, three hundred rooms, making it the
largest hotel in the world at thetime. The Empire Room at the hotel
was the largest and most lavishly decoratedroom in the Waldorf and quickly became one
of the finest restaurants in New YorkCity. From the beginning, the Waldorf
was the must stay place for fourindignitaries from around the world. Some of

(41:37):
those guests were the leaders of China, the Princess i Am, the Grand
Duchess of Russia, and many others. Andrew Carnegie was a regular guest at
the hotel, and the Waldorf AstoriaBar became a favorite haunt for many of
the financial elite, such as DiamondJim Brady, Buffalo, Bill Cody,
and Bat Masterson. In short,anyone who was anyone in the world of

(42:00):
politics, society, business or entertainmentwanted to be seen at the Waldorf.
It truly was the world's hotel.Following the tragic sinking of the Titanic,
the Waldorf Hotel was the official sitefor the inquiry that was performed by the
United States Senate into the disaster withthis backdrop our very own. Frank Phillips

(42:22):
was a major player at the Waldorf. In nineteen twenty nine, a private
corporation was formed by Uncle Frank andhe became part owner of the Waldorf.
Later that year, they sold thebuildings and the land to a corporation named
Empire State, Inc. Their planwas to demolish the hotel, which they
did and build the Empire State Buildingin that location in July of nineteen twenty

(42:45):
nine. Prior to the demolition,Frank Phillips inspected the hotel and paid particular
attention to four handsome chandeliers which hungin the tap room of the hotel.
When the hotel was gutted in preparationfor the demolition, was given those ornate
lights. He promptly shipped them toOklahoma and had them hung in the great
living room of the Woollerock Lodge,where they illuminated family gatherings, business meetings,

(43:09):
cocktail parties, poker games, andmany other social events. Whenever asked
by guests about the lights, Frankliked a joke and say they were all
that he got out of his investmentcalling them his million dollars chandeliers and declaring
them the most expensive in the country. The magic of New York City and
the Waldorf Astoria from eighteen ninety threeis still part of the Lodge today and

(43:34):
the wonderful history of Wallerock. Thatsame magic still exists. Welcome home to

haven't had anything like this in overeighty years. Yeah, this is a
tropical storm that came off of BajaCalifornia. Circle back and arc back,

(45:47):
and it's gonna hit southern California asa tropical storm, but not as a
hurricane. They are due to getas much rain in this storm as they
get it and sometimes a year anda half to a year. Yeah,
so yeah, it's gonna be quitean event, but it's gonna be something

(46:07):
else. And hopefully they'll go aroundand fill up like meat again too.
Well, you can only hope itcan get some of that going there.
Looking at the charts on that andit's it's going up. It's it's the
level's going up pretty good on it. That's that's good. You know out

prepared for that. Oh no,I mean, I'm just visiting my son.
He lived out there in Los Angeles. He was taking me out to
lax from my return flight, andthe fellas could almost do the traffic in
their sleefe. We got to youknow, eastbound and eleven lanes of traffic.

(46:57):
It's all going about five months priorcourts, you just you know,
bumper to bumper cars. Okay,well you start doing that with a little
bit of sprinkle. People are tappingthe brakes, They're going, oh,
I'm swerving. No, just taketake it easy. You're not going fast
enough to hydroplane at five miles anhour. But the traffic people, the
weather people, they were freaking out. You thought they had a winter storm

(47:21):
going on there. It was like, for crying out loud, did you
even get like two one hundreds ofan inch of rain through that whole thing?
But I mean, but it feltlike if you're listening to the radio.
It was Kofi Los Angeles. You'reyou're listening to the radio as you're
griping into the airport, you wouldhave thought, my gosh, we're gonna
get killed. It's oh yeah,well you know that the paving if it

(47:46):
hasn't rained in the lung, yeah, the oils. Yeah, it's the
slickestel pan, so you have tobe re careful with that. Yeah,
okay, maybe maybe maybe maybe maybeokay, but boy, they you just
would have thought the end was coming. And I was like, geez,
how often does it rain now hereelse? Firstance may and it's August.

(48:07):
Okay, well, the climate iscyclical like that. Things come and go
