Speaker 1 (00:05):
Good morning, good morning, good morning, and welcome, welcome, welcome,
medi It's that time now for the green cut. Who
got in your program with our expert lwry Glass. I'm
Tom Davis at the phone ninety is open at one
eight hundred seventy four nine five nine at three six.
As we go tiptoeing through the tulips, A, hey, I got.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
On, I got on my jibble here and I'm ready
to go.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
There you go. Now, we had a lot of rain
and then it got really nice. Yeah that's for then
it got it went from April to August in twenty
four hours.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Now today, what is it sixty degrees?
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Yeah? Whatever, yeah, sixty and beautiful fifty six fifty nine.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Wow, that's pretty close to my guess. Yeah. It's funny
when you when you're outside all your all your life
like that, you know, you can feel what the tempter is.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Your skin is a pretty good day and you're out there.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
It was told one day and I said, it's it's
forty four degrees outside. Oh how do you know? I said,
they got their little phone out, it's forty four.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Just remember old age and treachery, beast youth.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
And.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Oh golly, the weather is warming up, so watch for
the bugs and Mike's too, especially Mike's. I was at
a guy's house yesterday. He had some great myrtles that
were infested by scaling last year, and he put down
the minicloper at that point he should and he said, well,
it looks like I still have them. He said, no, no,
(01:37):
these these are just stuck on the dirt. They just
fell right off. And said, you don't have them right now.
So I'm going to get some more of that stuff
I don't want. I don't want mikes and jail and stuff.
I said, okay, it's a good preventive measurement there. Yeah, yeah,
So the scale insects are starting to come around. I've
seen some of these people's crepe myrtles, So right now
(01:58):
you could use some in his ad which is a
macrobial natural kind of check this idea on it as
a topical application if you don't want to really use
the emitic flopid, but but that'll control them right away.
I use a dormant oil of mine. You do it
after hours, dormant oil.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
You don't want to cook your plants.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
The plants that if they can't breathe it leaves to
kind of shrivel up. So if you do use a
dormant oil in your crpe murals or anything like that
for scale, you want to go ahead and do it,
but let us stay all night and wash it off
in the morning, just so it doesn't smother your plants.
So it's coming of scales coming up. And also on
(02:39):
your burning bush to look on near. You want to
miss your burning bush plants they for some odd reason,
you've been immune to everything for the last but four
thousand years. Then all of a sudden you want to miss.
Scales got to them. So look at your burning bush
and see if indeed you might have some scale on
your burning bush as well. What a look? What's a
(03:03):
burning wish?
Speaker 1 (03:03):
No no, no, no, no no. I was thinking of
something clever that I decided.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
No, no, no, it's burning. How come to live with
the plants burning? Right?
Speaker 1 (03:14):
I was going to go into the sci fi world.
But never mind me being quiet here. You just saw
me actually think, And that doesn't happen very often.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
We share that golly, and on your spruce trees and
all that, and look for spider maights. I look really
really close, and if you see any stippling on the needles,
the newly emerging needles. If they're okay, you probably don't
have them. But if you do have some discoloration, very
(03:47):
specific point of discoloration on your spruce plant, pranchances are
you might have some mites on it too.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
You might have mites.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
It's a mighty big problem yet, so you want to
try to circumment that also. And the mites are there,
and a rachnid, they're not an insect like spiders. Yeah,
they have eight legs, so and they their physiology is
a little different than insects, so you have to use
a different mite control for them.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
So there you go.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Okay, So that's kind of the the bug insect thing
going on right now. And I'm getting ready to sneeze.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I thought you're.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Thinking sneeze in the flying words. You can see the
intent also on your fescue lawn right now it's getting warmer.
You don't want to encourage a lot of growth on it.
(04:49):
You do want to lengthen this, make it taller, just
so it can transpire properly. Transpire is transpiration is the
mechan and the plant used to keep themselves cool when
it's really hot. And they need, uh, you know, enough
surface area for that to work. And whoa if you
(05:09):
cut it back too much, cut back your fescue grass
too much. Too much hot sunlight reaches the ground and
the stems of the plant and it can't keep itself
cool and it gives up. Right, Yeah, it overheats and
dies out. So you need to start raising your fais
cue on not or two from what it was in
(05:31):
the spring. And as time progresses, you need to raise
it up a little higher. So that would keep it doing,
keep it cooler.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Also make your grass look a little bit more lush
and plodyful.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Right, And the same thing with zoysia grass. A lot
of people really cut it really really short. As our
help the other day said, well, they're down to the
dirt onness thing. Why they need to raise us up
because when it gets hot, it's going to overheat the
roots of anything else. And even permutigrass needs to be
(06:04):
up a little taller to and he gets hot like this.
So unless you want to go out and syringe your
yard like they do a golf courses sure to help
keep it cool. That's what they call a syringe is
when on the petty greens they have to cut them
rather short, so you see them out there with the
hose watering them down occasionally when he gets really hot.
(06:25):
That's just so they don't burn up from the heat.
So you need to raise that up to last year.
We were at a house and they had beautiful so
we planted in nineteen ninety beautiful soyser grass. And they're
cutting it too low, so you can see dirt through
this thing.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Not supposed to do that.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Raise it up a little higher and a half two
inches tall. Beautiful all summer.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Wow. So just a little bit of knowledge, folks.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Okay, now, also fertilizing your lawn. This is the absolute
positive last time to fertilize or try to encourage some
growth on your fescue lawn. To this point, it's getting
time to put down say the ten twenty ten or
something like that, not a lot of nitrogen, but perhaps
some phosphorus and potassium, just so it would have a
(07:10):
stronger stem and root system. It kind of slows down
significantly in the heat, so you want to kind of
back off of the nitrogen applications of your fiscian grass.
If you don't like the color of it, you might
consider an iron supplement which will darken the green color
iron make it all pretty. I put iron sulfate on
(07:32):
my Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
That's another wise, just kept it.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yeah, So if you're not really satisfied with the color
of the soiser grass, typically some iron sulfate with the
lower the darken the color a little bit. Us grass.
Typically it is kind of a grayish green, dark grayish
green color. Yep, oh, look at that cam here you go,
it's coming away.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Someday sent it my day off at rains. Now it's
your fault, Larry. I'm gonna get off the course a bit.
And you want to tell the story about how you're
getting ready for church, and you decided that maybe I
want to take care of the lawn.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Clouds coming in through Osage County heading right for us,
Sarah a suit and tie fertiles the yards. I feel
good about this. It's going to rain. It's stopped at
the county line.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
And here you were just need.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I had to go ahead of water the yard. It
does look like it's going to stop at Osage County
according to their prediction there. So so anyway, we do
have some rain coming on, it's a good time to
fertilize that gass. And if you really want to rain
my truck is use a wash too. I need to
(08:55):
wash it too.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
I thought about washing my vehicle and I saw the forecast.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I really would like to add the rein, so I
think we're going to wash it anyway.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Oh yeah, yeah, I'm gonna get a poor man power
water exactly now, a little hail, you know, just to
get the bugs off.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Right, yeah, all right, now, fungus can be a problem
with fescu lungs too. I can't if if you might
want to consider catching the grass when it's really warm
like this, just so it stays a little bit cleaner,
closer to the ground. Not a lot of thatch on it. Okay,
(09:36):
How do I trim my trees and shrubs? It's one
of the bigger questions. And I've got this big mop
in the front yard called a Chinese fustache. This when
I dug up in the backyard and it's big trunk
right now. I planted that in the ground when it's
a little tike and it had to use a pick
just but it's done very well. It's gone through the
(09:59):
rock layers and it's it found something under there there
you go, and it's just grown like crazy, so it
needs to be trimmed up a little bit. So I
might be doing that tomorrow between the thunderstorms. So it's
not hanging down though it's clear for a little bit.
I planted it right there, just the right size. At
(10:19):
the end of the day when I come home, the
truck has some shade doing it perfect shade, Yeah, exactly.
So anyway, so you can steal trim trees and things
at this point, it's not too much to do.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
So all right, let's say quick break. We'll be right
back after this three minute time out.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Spring has frown and literally that's true.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
Welcome back to the Green Country Gardener Program. It's eight
twenty and fifty nine degrees sunshine, a little bit of
wind from the northa not too bad, but we could
have some bumpy weather later on today and definitely on
a Sunday and Monday. Keep it right here, as we
will keep you ahead of the storm. As we're here
to prepare you, not to scare you. Right now. Hey,
(13:15):
you watch the TV. They will scare the living daylights
out of you. Hey, all the size of cinder blocks.
Oh my god, it's raining. Cheeseburgers and tolsan cheeseburgers. Heck,
I like cheeseburgers. Yeah, you know, one drop, one one
one bounch rule. Anyway, this is the Green Country Gardener Program.
(13:37):
Larry's are our smart guy. I'm just a smart alec
and it's one eight seven nine three six. That'll get
you on board if you have a question to comment
from Larry.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Well, anyway, I got a call yesterday and I said,
there are holes in my tree. Well, well we might
want to put your drill away.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
You know, well that too, but.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
They said the holes are in a horizontal pattern, and said, well,
insects don't really associate like that. What you have are
sapsuckers or woodpeckers.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Wow, it was lucky, guess, because what.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
They do they cling to the tree with their claws
and then they plump and then they jump out and
grab again. And so typically if you have some scars
or some holes in the trees that are in a
pattern like that, that's from a bird. It's not it's
not an insect.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
How do they do that without getting a concussion?
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Imagine through years and years of adaptations they come.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Up with that.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
So yeah, that just really enjoy it. They fly around
kind of plenty after all that. But anyway, it's an
heck of a way to make a living.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
I guess it's driving none the influence a timber.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
So those are just either sapsuckers or woodpeckers. Pepper peckers, woodpeckers,
I say peppers. Yeah, Well anyway like that like that.
So anyway, and typically the tree will heel up around
that okay unless it gets really really interested. Now I
have seen people's blue out of cedars just absolutely riddled
(15:23):
with holes from sapsuckers. They really enjoy that, apparently drinking
the sap out of these cedar trees. And this one house,
it was just just like the whole thing was just covered.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
In looks like a birdie war zone patterned.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Holes and and we put some tree wrap on it. Yeah,
and that stopped it. So if you do have some that,
and if you do have a lot of these patterned
holes on there, a lot of them, you might want
to consider maybe using some tree wrap because that they
kind of go so that that's interesting. So in the
(16:05):
garden right now, back to that, you want to trend
the foliage on the tulips and daffodil pretty soon because
it gets a little insightly because it turns kind of
yellow and all that. So get the scissors out and
cut it back. Add some molts most much molt Why
moult because moltch does several things. It does moderate the
peaks and valleys and temperature in your soil for the
(16:26):
sort of an insulating blanket, and it does a very
good job of controlling weeds. So you are consider adding
some molt shit. We have both mulch or in the bag.
The bags are rather convenient, but the mulch is slightly
less expensive than the bags delivered in our big old
truck that has a tip on it up your front yard.
(16:49):
So anyway, so molch is very important to the landscape
because these plants are not indigenous and they do need
a little bit of help. So also the tomatoes be
molt should be multitude at this point. I don't like
to use the seed of bark molts, but if a
prairie hay or something like that, yeah, works on them,
and lots of it. I don't know if you're familiar
(17:10):
with Ruth Stout. I studied her back when I was
thirteen about organic gardening and all that. Then she uses
a whole lot of hay and stuff record roses, tomatoes
the size of you know, beach balls. Yeah, well we're
talking like weather Man here exactly. So a lot of
molts too. It helps moderate this the moisture level and
(17:35):
the soil run your tomatoes. So if you if your
tomatoes come up and soil is really dry, then it
rains a lot. But they just pull up the water
out of the ground and the tomato skin can't tolerate
the increase in water and it's in the cracks. So
you want to have as much of a constant supply
of water, steady supply water your to tomatoes as possible,
(17:59):
just so they don't crack as much. I had that
problem at my house, so even though I did all that,
but I just picked them before they ripened, and they
did fine in the house.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Oh good.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
So if you have a problem with cracking, you might
consider picking them a little early and then letting them
just as they start to change color, just as it
happen there, you give it, let them ripe it on
the windowsillars, a little change. It's just fine.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
We've got a call here. All right, good morning, and
welcome to the Green Country Gardener Program. Your question or
comment for Larry Glass.
Speaker 11 (18:33):
All right, this is cafe. You was over at my
house last week and said, my oak tree looks really
sick and it needed some iron. How do I put
they aren't on it? Is it in a bag or
how do you treat it?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
It comes in a bag? Do you say fertilizer with
some iron in it or iron sulfate? I don't know
that we have any We do have iron sulfate in
a a five pound bag and you spread that not
necessarily close to the tree, but that's what they call
the drip line of the tree and it'll help darken
(19:06):
the color of the leaves.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Big circle around it.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Yeah, and U turn on the spring for system. Water
it in.
Speaker 11 (19:13):
Okay, be a good idea that today and let it rain.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
And I don't if we don't know how much it's
good to rain, it could just wash down the hill.
Speaker 11 (19:23):
Head water. I've read where you had to kind of
drill holes, So go down in, is that right?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Or just sprinted around.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
I would put it around the just around there. You
can't drill holes. It'll get it down there quicker. Yeah,
but go ahead and just put it on the ground.
Should do fine.
Speaker 11 (19:41):
Okay, I'll build a person and get some And I
have another thing to tell you. The humming birds are here.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Yeah, I know we had hummingbirds a couple of weeks ago.
They showed up and.
Speaker 11 (19:56):
Okay, well, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
And I want to remind folks too to turn down
your radio or your app when you're on the online
with us, because it'll that's what we were kind of
hearing there is a little bit of a looping replay.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
There in the background half an apple.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
What's that little thing on your phone? There isn't app
for that.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
I believe it's show for application application. Although we're getting
scholarly here. Proper okay, mister proper pH All right, properly,
take a quick break.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
We'll be back back after this two minute time out,
and we'll be proper about it.
Speaker 12 (20:34):
What is a number story?
Speaker 2 (20:36):
My number story started with fear and lack of support,
and it has.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
Led me to be there for others.
Speaker 12 (20:41):
A number story begins in our childhood with aces adverse
childhood experiences.
Speaker 13 (20:47):
My number story begins with the separation from my father
and the emotional abandonment from my mother. It leads to
me being a role model to not only myself but
those around me by becoming a person that wasn't there
for me.
Speaker 12 (20:58):
Aces are so common to thirds of us have one.
Speaker 14 (21:01):
My number story begins with drug abuse and homelessness and
leads to realizing that I can live life by my
own standards.
Speaker 12 (21:08):
A study found the more aces, the more likely we
may experience a host of serious health effects, physical and mental.
But that doesn't need to be the case. Your ace
number is simply an entry point to your own story.
Where it leads is up to you. My number story
begins with years of emotional abuse and leads to peace, clarity,
and security, and my self worth take control of war.
(21:31):
Your number story leads at numberstory dot org.
Speaker 15 (21:38):
The mission of Paralyzed Veterans of America is clear accessibility.
Veterans who have served and sacrificed the best of themselves
deserve access to the best our country has to offer.
Access to meaningful employment, access to the veterans benefits they've earned,
(21:59):
accessible homes and vehicles, and access to every part of
their communities. With PVA staff working inside via hospitals, no
whether Veterans Organization has provided more real time, ongoing support
for paralyzed veterans and their families. PDA is pround to
(22:19):
serve veterans across all branches, all generations, in all conflicts.
Our nation's heroes fought for your independence. Join PBA and
fighting for theirs at PVA dot org.

I'm Dave Hunziker, and you've got the Bruins, Cardinals, Cowboys
and more on K one A fourteen hundred and f
M ninety three point three.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
All right, welcome back. It is eight thirty two sixty
one degree sunshine for the time being USA, and it
is the Green Country Gardner Program and you can get
your question answered by Larry Glass or expert at one
eight seven four five three six.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
It's probably that second time, maybe that second application of
pre emergent overside, if you do that on your beds,
you don't want to overdo it. And golly, we had
two years ago. It didn't ring very much. I remember that,
and people had this pre merchant in their yards, and
then the next spring after that, some of the grasses
(23:25):
simply didn't come up. Well, if the whole idea of
this pre emergent is, of course to stop seeds from
sprouting and all that, yeah, but if it stays resident
in the soil, in other words, it doesn't wash out
or wash away or delude into the soil or whatever,
it builds up. And a pre merchant is a kind
(23:45):
of a gentle form of a serraulent and causes problems
if you use too much of it.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
It's like anything.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Yeah, so you know, it's better probably just to put
up with just a few weeds there and they're not
worried about it. What I do in my yard. I
have done is a lot. Is this is to stimulate
the positive aspect of the yard. Fertilize the grass. Yeah,
that'll work and take over and do very well. So
(24:16):
the problem is my house I have about three inches
of soiled and it's like an airport. So anyway, it
can be difficult. That's try to maintain a yard in
those situations. So anyway, the soil should be loose and
easy to work for your premier retired to work. I
use some grass killer in my yard to remedia. Grass
(24:38):
went crazy in my beds. Got that out of there.
Remember to compose your plantings too. If you want some
color in there, and you do want some perennials, you
might want to blend in a few annuals as well.
What they do is it kind of bridge the color
gaps and perennials. Not all perennials bloom all the time.
So if you have something in there with your perennials,
(25:00):
give you some color all year round. So you might
consider adding some annuals to your perennial beds. Just see
if it's some color too. Okay, if you have the
dimensions of your bed in mind, we can advise you
on what the plant and kind of know where you live.
Maybe we can kind of know what your soil is
(25:21):
like or lack there of, and make some recommendations also.
But typically around here the lantanas do quite well. Monardas
and things like that do quite well. Dailylies galardias it's
another excellent one. It's a good perennial and bloom for
a long period of time. So there are some plants
and yarrows another give one too, all kinds of perennials
(25:43):
that do very well in our climate here, and you
don't have to replant them every year. They come up
and bloom whenever. The important thing is, though, is to
make sure your soil is very well prepared prior to planting.
This is something we do. It involves a significant portion
of the landscape installation process. Is number one getting the
soil ridder. Number two making sure it's drains really well,
(26:04):
and number three make sure the soil level is not
higher than the floor elevation of the house. But it
took a lot, but if you do have your soil
level above the floor elevation of the house, it can
cause problems with your studs inside the wall too.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Don't want to have trouble there is.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
That moisture gets in here, you get what they called
dry rot. So be sure to make sure that when
you do your beds up front that keep in mind
where your floor elevation is before you decide on an
elevation of your beds. I see this so many times
when we do landscapes. We have to regrade a lot
(26:42):
to get it so the water rens away from the house. Okay.
So preparation is nineteenths to the law. And that look
at your soil type and squeeze a little bit, and
if it holds together real well, you might want to
add some compost to it. And just by default we
always add compost to our compositions when we do the installations,
just because the soil is nice and loose and it
(27:03):
gives you some good nutrients for the plants, okay, without
burning them up, you know. And moulch is always important.
Figure on a two inch layer of molts and you
just measure your surface area and multiply that by whatever
two is or foot the two divided at twelve is
(27:25):
I don't know right now, And that'll tell you how
many cubic feet of molch you need.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Once again, we have to do maths, a little bit.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Of math so you can get approximate of your service area.
Doesn't have to be exact, but you do want that
at least that two inch layer. It does several things.
It does help prevent weeds, it does help conserve moisture,
and it does keep the temperature down a little bit
lower than the soil too, so your plants do a
lot better. So moch moch.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Molts, thank you very much. I did there.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Also look at some of your plants azalias for instance,
Alias are what we call aircaceious yep airtaceous, meaning they
require a low pH and Dentris and some other plants
like that. You need that lower pH and uh if
if you plant them in an alkaline soil, they'll last
(28:24):
by the time you get in the front door of
the house, will probably gone yeah, too high. Too high
a pH on your zis is toxic to them. So
you want to amend this oil with a significant amount
of peed moths. Pe moss is getting expensive too, my goodness,
it is. So we were stretching it out a bit
with peat moths and some pine bark molds. It has
(28:47):
the same effect as just using all peat moths, but
it stretch out, stretches out the dollars a little bit,
and then uh, you have to maintain them within a
type fertilizer on an annual basis too, to keep the
soil peach down where it belongs. So so planting knows
that is culturally different than others. Hydrage is also they
(29:10):
have a unique quality. The PG hydrag is, for instance,
the one that come out blue or pink. Well, you
remember litmus paper. If it's soil is a city, it'll
be blue, and if it's alkaline, it'll be pink. So
you plant this beautiful blue hydrogen you bought it the nursery,
and the next year they come out pink. What happened?
Speaker 1 (29:33):
What happened?
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Chemistry happens. So anyway, keep that in mind too. Please
do good idea to get a soil test done too
before you do landscaping. When we were doing a work
downtown with with a soil test was a prerequisite requirement
to make sure the soil is fine and no big
(29:56):
problems with it chemically or no salts or anything before
we did the which it makes a good sense, and
most of them turn out really just fine. And when
you get that result. You can adjust the soil structure
of chemistry based on what plants are putting in. But
if you're planting Nandina's app don't go anywhere, don't go nowhere.
I tell people the Russians found them on Mars. Oh anyway,
(30:24):
so it helps. It helps. Uh, when you do a
landscape design and you do an estimate on you want
to add some things to that estimate just to maybe
make some adjustments and the soil sea plants will prosper
do well.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
A lot of these plants come from the orient that
we that we plant a lot of them from different
parts of the country. There a different soils over there.
They have a volcanic or igneous type soil. The Asian
continent some part they also had kind of like Oklahoma.
(30:58):
It changes for one house to another, it does. So
you want to keep in mind and you can ask
and we can look it up. You can google it
and say they'll tell you what, what kind of pH
and what kind of chemistry these plants need. Things like
pieris for instance, it's an evergreen plant, has some pretty
flowers on it and so on, looks kind of nice.
(31:19):
It requires a low pH but Lako, though we've grown
it in in a neutral soil, it looks like it
would belong in it in a low page soil. But
it does very well. And it's not very common that
Luko does very well. Heredes Bay interesting plant, so but anyway,
(31:42):
not for Bartlesville.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Tell you what we need to take a break. Let's
go ahead and do that. We'll be back in two minutes.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
And literally that's true.

Speaker 5 (33:12):
A message from the nonprofit Life Foundation, HM, maybe you
can make retirement happen.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
After all, you made home ownership happen, homeschooling, your cell
phone loans, beefing up your credit score.
Speaker 12 (33:25):
No, I'm preapproved.
Speaker 7 (33:26):
You are like yes, sorry, color coding listings, ticking boxes
and flushing every toilet in a twenty.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
Mile radies home, sweet home. You aised house hunting. Now
get the tips you need to get on track at
acedoor Retirement dot Org.
Speaker 11 (33:52):
I got it.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Exchanging that pack. Welcome back to the Greek God regard
your program. And it is eight forty four sixty one
where he's on. Our phone line is open at one
eight hundred seven four nine five nine three six. He's
Larry Glass. He knows a few things. I'm Tom. I
just answered the phone.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Yeah, those are scratch waffles.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
He's showing me pictures of his breakfast.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
And well, this is a a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Couple weeks ago. Also, you showed a pretty mean yuka plant.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Yeah, there are some yukka plasma.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
This is.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
This is a big blue one and actually you can
trim it up. That has almost a palm tree electric
to it over time, so you can trim it up
from the bottom.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
And that one just looked like a big old exploding ball.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Yeah, it's a yeah anyway thing for those of you
with color radio. Yes, there it is right there. It's
just sixty tall. It's this huge yuka plant. And see
those leaves on the bottom there, you can cut them
down and it shows the stem and this is very hardy.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
Here.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Actually it's a blue blue yuka and that's right here
in the Yeah, yeah, right here. It's a little and
we planted several of on this property. He's letting them
grow up, and then we can cut off the lotwer
benches and it looks has a very talk they get
six feet about it, it'll get about six almost ape tallow.
(35:14):
It's a rather unique plant, a little a little pricey,
but man, what a what a specimen.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
What a beautiful thing?
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Yeah, so yukus. And it's really not that thorny or anything.
It's not that bad.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
It looks like it, but it's not.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
I wouldn't put it near a swimming pool. So you
can use those in the landscape, and this particular one
we use it. It's kind of an arid type plandscape
looks really nice. I was there yesterday talking about some
other things you might want to do. So okay, trees,
(35:52):
uh container and bald and burl at trees can be
planted just about any time. Just don't move them. Be
sure to water them proper. Go see a tree today
we planted last week. I think she might have overwatered it.
The do require a bit of a drying period between,
so you might want to check it out. And I
usually tell people don't Number one, don't water it in
(36:13):
the afternoon. In the morning because in the afternoon the
hose gets.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
Hot and it'll burn it right there, b r T.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
Right there, you'll have a root for lunch. I guess
you'll burn them up and cook them. And so that's
probably one of the biggest problems that people have is
hot water and the hose with water and plants because
of the tissues to collapse in there and just drives up. Oh,
here we go. This is Saturday, yesterday.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
We're looking at storm zone pictures.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
Folks. Good night, Okay, then get out there.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Yeah, you know one or two. I'm enjoying it while
at lasts Larry, Yeah, I don't know about you.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
So any of on newly planet trees, you want to
water them fairly thoroughly, but not so frequently. Just let
them dry out a little bit. That way the risk
will venture forth and take over into the landscape. Okay,
so they're pretty easy to get established. Don't fertilize them
yet either, wait until they've established to give them the fertilizer. Typically,
(37:20):
when we plant, we add some composts to the soil
and they keeps them going for a year or so.
So you don't don't add fertilizer to them until they're established. Okay,
they do just fine. And if they're a little discolored
here and there, there's probably you know, you forget the
water once with tw life, they're very forgiving. They should
come back, okay. Kind of shrubs kind of the same
(37:42):
way the shrubbed aad killer and backdrop seasonal stability your
landscape using the hide unsightly stuff. And maybe some neighbors
who that. I go to a lot of people's houses
and you look over there and they you know, your
your breakfast, your neighbors having wheedies for breakfast. WHOA You
(38:05):
might want to do some trees and shrubs, wraps for
some privacy in the backyard too. I did that in
my yard. I can't see anything back there, which is
a good thing. Yeah, so you cept my plants. Now
the lilies are getting ready to bloom. They're about five
feet tall, huge plants, and you know what's going to happen.
They're going to be leap or bloomed out and then
(38:27):
we'll have a storm beat them all up. What can
you do with lap? I mean, come on, so anyway, lawns,
right now is time to raise them more up and
notch a little bit. We talked about that in the past.
For your fescue grass to raise it up a little bit,
but festque and so just raise them up a little bit,
(38:51):
just so they have more surface areas to transpire. The
plants the use of water to keep themselves cool, and
the more surface area they have on them, the better
the cooling process. The more efficient the coolings want to be,
and the less hot it gets it so it'll be
better off. So, yeah, don't don't leave the grass too low.
(39:12):
When he gets hot, he raise it up. Okay. Oh,
golly birds, hummingbirds are here. So plant Salvia, Lentana, menarda, honeysuckle,
Petunia penta. There's a lot of them, liverords that hummingbirds
really like.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
I tell you what. They do a lot of eating
for I.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
Have lantana pots in my backyard. Yeah, they're electronically water too.
That's pretty cool. They really and the butterflies really like
the lanannas, and the hummingbirds really appreciate that too. Tell
you might consider planting some plants that they sort of like.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
The visitors.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Yeah, really very vigital things too.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
Tray of the week is the teddy bear magnolia. I
gotta call my magnolias in all the leaves. I said,
it's the time here.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
They do that.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
Yeah, it's weird. They springtime is for shedding, yes, right,
and they're putting on flowers. But some of the leaves
are falling off. It's normal. So we're gonna litter for
a little bit and nothing to worry about. But anyway,
so magnolia is our tree. Wik specifically maybe a teddy bear.
Teddy bear is a smaller growing magnolia about forty by
(40:24):
twenty feet, which is small bird for magnolia. Seems kind
of big though. I remember in Georgia, Jolly, these magnolias
the biggest the front yard. They're huge. Yeah, they are
so here they don't get quite so big. We planted
one at somebody's house. He wanted some privacy first office,
and it's still there that we did that in the eighties.
(40:46):
We planeted it and it's still still and the leaves
are starting to fall off. So because it's the time here,
they do so anyway, Magnolia trees, they you got to
grow about it anywhere. They have a shallow root system,
and because of that you want to leave the lower
branches on. You want them. As one of my professors
(41:09):
of college said, dancing Southern bills dancing across the landscape.
You want to leave the big branches all the way
to the ground because they drop something every single day
and they have shallow roots. It be nixon possible to
keep it clean underneath unless you just hide it with
(41:29):
the lower branches. So like a spruce tree, people they
like them all the way from the ground up. Kind
of a similar thing for that. So try not to
trim up the magnolia tree. It's better off if it's
if it has lower branches close to the ground, then
you don't have to worry about it. You just take
the leaf lower and blow the leaves into they keep
(41:52):
it clean. Here you go bill a little present there
are just getting ready to bloom. Also, I notice a
lot of blossoms on the magnolia tree cert in Town two,
and they're very tolerant that that glossy color helps kind
of seal the leaves up a little bit when it
gets real drowny, so you don't really have to water
it too much. But if it does get really really dry,
(42:14):
you might want to water up plants specifically because they
are somewhat shallow rooted. So magnolia tree is a good
good thing in the yard given room. If you have
a small yard, it won't work. You might consider if
you want to magnolia, you might consider star magnelia perhaps,
or saucer magnillia. Even the saucer magnolias get real big.
The star bagnoid stay a little smaller, but keep in
(42:37):
mind they're going to get to be big plants, okay.
And even even the teddy bear might be a bit
too large for some cases too. And if you tram
it up, you're constantly you're going to be working a
lot leaves coming down, and in parts of the fats
when they come out, they have a sheath around the
leaf and it sheds that that's around two so they're
(43:00):
kind of messy. It okak. Good plans though beautiful in
the landscape. Yeah, but you gotta have enough room trying
to keep them off in the distance. And they do
very well.
Speaker 1 (43:09):
Again, folks, we're going to take a little time out here.
Let's see, it's going to be a two minute, thirty

Speaker 17 (43:49):
In nineteen thirty nine, James Farley, the former chairman of
the Democratic National Committee and Franklin Roosevelt's Postmaster General, travel
to Bartlesville, Oklahoma to meet with Frank Phillips. This was
a special meeting, and for Frank a bit different, as
Farley did not come to visit about oil or banking.
He had another purpose. He came to Bartlesville to try
(44:10):
to convince mister Phillips to buy the New York Yankees
baseball team. The former owner had died in nineteen thirty nine,
and Farley and others felt that Frank had the resources
necessary to buy the ball club. Already a wonderful dynasty
with such greats as Babe Ruth and Lou Garrick leading
the way the Yankees were known worldwide. And would certainly
provide great personal and professional exposure to Frank in to
(44:34):
Phillips Petroleum. After much consideration, Frank decided not to buy
the Yankees, and despite their continued success, he never regretted
that decision, as he told his friends, I just couldn't
buy him. I've always been a National League man. Come

minutes up to the show. Maybe room for a phone
call at one eight hundred seven ninety three six, which
got Larry.
Speaker 2 (46:08):
Anyway, that's rub of the week this week is Nanina's. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (46:14):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (46:16):
There's several actually several types of nandinas. It's not your
your old fashioned plants that kind of grow everywhere. They've
got some some refined ones too, very good. And one
I really like is this deep deep purple leaves on it.
I can't think of the name right now. I think
it's sand of sunrise or something like that. Anyway, Oh,
obsession Nandina, the obsession. Yeah, And what I like about
(46:39):
them is they don't spread everywhere. They just formed this
tight little shrub, no bugs, heat tolerant, cold tolerant, disease resistant.
You know, it has all the attributes you really want.
And this particular plant doesn't spread out everywhere. It stays.
Speaker 1 (46:58):
It's pretty little maintenance.
Speaker 2 (47:00):
I have one at my house to the right of
the garage, faces south and all winter on it was
bright red, beautiful, and now it's putting on new leaves
and and it'll be a purple color for the most
part of the summer. Really, so it's really the obsession
is really an excellent plant, uh that they come up with.
(47:22):
I guess about knee higher. So it's not a huge
plant either. So it's good for sake color accidents for you.
Really don't have to do anything, you know, Sign me.
Speaker 1 (47:31):
Up, Sign me up. I wanted to look good them
all on.
Speaker 2 (47:34):
And so if it's if it's on a southern exposure
or a western exposure the wintertime, the appearance in the
winter just can't be beat. It's a really good plant obsession,
no bugs, no diseases. It will grow just about anywhere.
Some people have managed to kill them, so otherwise I
(48:00):
want to get established there. Really quite well. They don't
set any flowers, they don't do anything like that. They're
just kind of a green and purple and purple shrub.
Very attractive plant. And it's kind of tight to you
know something anteenas ending as they have these stems that
this has a very tight form to it too. So
that and the Dwarf. Dwarf and Ending are just they're
(48:22):
kind of what we call workhorses in the landscape. They
do really quite well with a whole lot, with not
a whole lot of preparation and very little maintenance.
Speaker 1 (48:32):
Are these things spread out?
Speaker 2 (48:33):
No used to be now the old fashioned ending is
do they get six feet tall and they come up
all over the place, and that's kind of giving them
a bit of a bad name. But these new ones
really don't do that, so just.
Speaker 1 (48:48):
Kind of stay in their own little sphere exactly, very good,
well behaved.
Speaker 2 (48:52):
So you might consider some of those just for some
seasonal interest in the off season, and even in the
old season, they're they're quite attractive, quite nice. So anyway,
we've got that and several other things to the nursery too,
all kinds of new stuff. You got plenty of sun
patients on hand right now, geraniums and just about any
(49:12):
pereneal you can think of. Gary has done a great
job growing those perennials are beautiful and we export a
lot of them too, so we bring some money in town. Yeah.
So anyway, so you might come check out the perennials
and the annuals we have and also we have sectioned
some herbs and sectioned for hommingbirds. You might want to
(49:34):
track some on birds. We got some planets that they
like to as well. So anyway, you know where we are,
halfway between No Water Road and Madison Boutle Arts on
the south side of or No Water Road, south side
of No Water Road, and come on and check us out,
check out our annuals or prinials and our tropicals, and
enjoy the waterfall in the greenhouse.
Speaker 1 (49:55):
You got the chimes out too.
Speaker 2 (49:57):

As we go tiptoeing through the tulips, A, hey, I got.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
On, I got on my jibble here and I'm ready
to go.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
There you go. Now, we had a lot of rain
and then it got really nice. Yeah that's for then
it got it went from April to August in twenty
four hours.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Now today, what is it sixty degrees?
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Yeah? Whatever, yeah, sixty and beautiful fifty six fifty nine.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Wow, that's pretty close to my guess. Yeah. It's funny
when you when you're outside all your all your life
like that, you know, you can feel what the tempter is.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Your skin is a pretty good day and you're out there.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
It was told one day and I said, it's it's
forty four degrees outside. Oh how do you know? I said,
they got their little phone out, it's forty four.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Just remember old age and treachery, beast youth.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
And.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Oh golly, the weather is warming up, so watch for
the bugs and Mike's too, especially Mike's. I was at
a guy's house yesterday. He had some great myrtles that
were infested by scaling last year, and he put down
the minicloper at that point he should and he said, well,
it looks like I still have them. He said, no, no,
(01:37):
these these are just stuck on the dirt. They just
fell right off. And said, you don't have them right now.
So I'm going to get some more of that stuff
I don't want. I don't want mikes and jail and stuff.
I said, okay, it's a good preventive measurement there. Yeah, yeah,
So the scale insects are starting to come around. I've
seen some of these people's crepe myrtles, So right now
(01:58):
you could use some in his ad which is a
macrobial natural kind of check this idea on it as
a topical application if you don't want to really use
the emitic flopid, but but that'll control them right away.
I use a dormant oil of mine. You do it
after hours, dormant oil.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
You don't want to cook your plants.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
The plants that if they can't breathe it leaves to
kind of shrivel up. So if you do use a
dormant oil in your crpe murals or anything like that
for scale, you want to go ahead and do it,
but let us stay all night and wash it off
in the morning, just so it doesn't smother your plants.
So it's coming of scales coming up. And also on
(02:39):
your burning bush to look on near. You want to
miss your burning bush plants they for some odd reason,
you've been immune to everything for the last but four
thousand years. Then all of a sudden you want to miss.
Scales got to them. So look at your burning bush
and see if indeed you might have some scale on
your burning bush as well. What a look? What's a
(03:03):
burning wish?
Speaker 1 (03:03):
No no, no, no, no no. I was thinking of
something clever that I decided.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
No, no, no, it's burning. How come to live with
the plants burning? Right?
Speaker 1 (03:14):
I was going to go into the sci fi world.
But never mind me being quiet here. You just saw
me actually think, And that doesn't happen very often.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
We share that golly, and on your spruce trees and
all that, and look for spider maights. I look really
really close, and if you see any stippling on the needles,
the newly emerging needles. If they're okay, you probably don't
have them. But if you do have some discoloration, very
(03:47):
specific point of discoloration on your spruce plant, pranchances are
you might have some mites on it too.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
You might have mites.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
It's a mighty big problem yet, so you want to
try to circumment that also. And the mites are there,
and a rachnid, they're not an insect like spiders. Yeah,
they have eight legs, so and they their physiology is
a little different than insects, so you have to use
a different mite control for them.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
So there you go.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Okay, So that's kind of the the bug insect thing
going on right now. And I'm getting ready to sneeze.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I thought you're.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Thinking sneeze in the flying words. You can see the
intent also on your fescue lawn right now it's getting warmer.
You don't want to encourage a lot of growth on it.
(04:49):
You do want to lengthen this, make it taller, just
so it can transpire properly. Transpire is transpiration is the
mechan and the plant used to keep themselves cool when
it's really hot. And they need, uh, you know, enough
surface area for that to work. And whoa if you
(05:09):
cut it back too much, cut back your fescue grass
too much. Too much hot sunlight reaches the ground and
the stems of the plant and it can't keep itself
cool and it gives up. Right, Yeah, it overheats and
dies out. So you need to start raising your fais
cue on not or two from what it was in
(05:31):
the spring. And as time progresses, you need to raise
it up a little higher. So that would keep it doing,
keep it cooler.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Also make your grass look a little bit more lush
and plodyful.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Right, And the same thing with zoysia grass. A lot
of people really cut it really really short. As our
help the other day said, well, they're down to the
dirt onness thing. Why they need to raise us up
because when it gets hot, it's going to overheat the
roots of anything else. And even permutigrass needs to be
(06:04):
up a little taller to and he gets hot like this.
So unless you want to go out and syringe your
yard like they do a golf courses sure to help
keep it cool. That's what they call a syringe is
when on the petty greens they have to cut them
rather short, so you see them out there with the
hose watering them down occasionally when he gets really hot.
(06:25):
That's just so they don't burn up from the heat.
So you need to raise that up to last year.
We were at a house and they had beautiful so
we planted in nineteen ninety beautiful soyser grass. And they're
cutting it too low, so you can see dirt through
this thing.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Not supposed to do that.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Raise it up a little higher and a half two
inches tall. Beautiful all summer.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Wow. So just a little bit of knowledge, folks.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Okay, now, also fertilizing your lawn. This is the absolute
positive last time to fertilize or try to encourage some
growth on your fescue lawn. To this point, it's getting
time to put down say the ten twenty ten or
something like that, not a lot of nitrogen, but perhaps
some phosphorus and potassium, just so it would have a
(07:10):
stronger stem and root system. It kind of slows down
significantly in the heat, so you want to kind of
back off of the nitrogen applications of your fiscian grass.
If you don't like the color of it, you might
consider an iron supplement which will darken the green color
iron make it all pretty. I put iron sulfate on
(07:32):
my Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
That's another wise, just kept it.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yeah, So if you're not really satisfied with the color
of the soiser grass, typically some iron sulfate with the
lower the darken the color a little bit. Us grass.
Typically it is kind of a grayish green, dark grayish
green color. Yep, oh, look at that cam here you go,
it's coming away.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Someday sent it my day off at rains. Now it's
your fault, Larry. I'm gonna get off the course a bit.
And you want to tell the story about how you're
getting ready for church, and you decided that maybe I
want to take care of the lawn.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Clouds coming in through Osage County heading right for us,
Sarah a suit and tie fertiles the yards. I feel
good about this. It's going to rain. It's stopped at
the county line.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
And here you were just need.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I had to go ahead of water the yard. It
does look like it's going to stop at Osage County
according to their prediction there. So so anyway, we do
have some rain coming on, it's a good time to
fertilize that gass. And if you really want to rain
my truck is use a wash too. I need to
(08:55):
wash it too.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
I thought about washing my vehicle and I saw the forecast.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I really would like to add the rein, so I
think we're going to wash it anyway.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Oh yeah, yeah, I'm gonna get a poor man power
water exactly now, a little hail, you know, just to
get the bugs off.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Right, yeah, all right, now, fungus can be a problem
with fescu lungs too. I can't if if you might
want to consider catching the grass when it's really warm
like this, just so it stays a little bit cleaner,
closer to the ground. Not a lot of thatch on it. Okay,
(09:36):
How do I trim my trees and shrubs? It's one
of the bigger questions. And I've got this big mop
in the front yard called a Chinese fustache. This when
I dug up in the backyard and it's big trunk
right now. I planted that in the ground when it's
a little tike and it had to use a pick
just but it's done very well. It's gone through the
(09:59):
rock layers and it's it found something under there there
you go, and it's just grown like crazy, so it
needs to be trimmed up a little bit. So I
might be doing that tomorrow between the thunderstorms. So it's
not hanging down though it's clear for a little bit.
I planted it right there, just the right size. At
(10:19):
the end of the day when I come home, the
truck has some shade doing it perfect shade, Yeah, exactly.
So anyway, so you can steal trim trees and things
at this point, it's not too much to do.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
So all right, let's say quick break. We'll be right
back after this three minute time out.
Speaker 4 (10:37):

Welcome back to the Green Country Gardener Program. It's eight
twenty and fifty nine degrees sunshine, a little bit of
wind from the northa not too bad, but we could
have some bumpy weather later on today and definitely on
a Sunday and Monday. Keep it right here, as we
will keep you ahead of the storm. As we're here
to prepare you, not to scare you. Right now. Hey,
(13:15):
you watch the TV. They will scare the living daylights
out of you. Hey, all the size of cinder blocks.
Oh my god, it's raining. Cheeseburgers and tolsan cheeseburgers. Heck,
I like cheeseburgers. Yeah, you know, one drop, one one
one bounch rule. Anyway, this is the Green Country Gardener Program.
(13:37):
Larry's are our smart guy. I'm just a smart alec
and it's one eight seven nine three six. That'll get
you on board if you have a question to comment
from Larry.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Well, anyway, I got a call yesterday and I said,
there are holes in my tree. Well, well we might
want to put your drill away.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
You know, well that too, but.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
They said the holes are in a horizontal pattern, and said, well,
insects don't really associate like that. What you have are
sapsuckers or woodpeckers.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Wow, it was lucky, guess, because what.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
They do they cling to the tree with their claws
and then they plump and then they jump out and
grab again. And so typically if you have some scars
or some holes in the trees that are in a
pattern like that, that's from a bird. It's not it's
not an insect.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
How do they do that without getting a concussion?
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Imagine through years and years of adaptations they come.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Up with that.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
So yeah, that just really enjoy it. They fly around
kind of plenty after all that. But anyway, it's an
heck of a way to make a living.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
I guess it's driving none the influence a timber.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
So those are just either sapsuckers or woodpeckers. Pepper peckers, woodpeckers,
I say peppers. Yeah, Well anyway like that like that.
So anyway, and typically the tree will heel up around
that okay unless it gets really really interested. Now I
have seen people's blue out of cedars just absolutely riddled
(15:23):
with holes from sapsuckers. They really enjoy that, apparently drinking
the sap out of these cedar trees. And this one house,
it was just just like the whole thing was just covered.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
In looks like a birdie war zone patterned.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Holes and and we put some tree wrap on it. Yeah,
and that stopped it. So if you do have some that,
and if you do have a lot of these patterned
holes on there, a lot of them, you might want
to consider maybe using some tree wrap because that they
kind of go so that that's interesting. So in the
(16:05):
garden right now, back to that, you want to trend
the foliage on the tulips and daffodil pretty soon because
it gets a little insightly because it turns kind of
yellow and all that. So get the scissors out and
cut it back. Add some molts most much molt Why
moult because moltch does several things. It does moderate the
peaks and valleys and temperature in your soil for the
(16:26):
sort of an insulating blanket, and it does a very
good job of controlling weeds. So you are consider adding
some molt shit. We have both mulch or in the bag.
The bags are rather convenient, but the mulch is slightly
less expensive than the bags delivered in our big old
truck that has a tip on it up your front yard.
(16:49):
So anyway, so molch is very important to the landscape
because these plants are not indigenous and they do need
a little bit of help. So also the tomatoes be
molt should be multitude at this point. I don't like
to use the seed of bark molts, but if a
prairie hay or something like that, yeah, works on them,
and lots of it. I don't know if you're familiar
(17:10):
with Ruth Stout. I studied her back when I was
thirteen about organic gardening and all that. Then she uses
a whole lot of hay and stuff record roses, tomatoes
the size of you know, beach balls. Yeah, well we're
talking like weather Man here exactly. So a lot of
molts too. It helps moderate this the moisture level and
(17:35):
the soil run your tomatoes. So if you if your
tomatoes come up and soil is really dry, then it
rains a lot. But they just pull up the water
out of the ground and the tomato skin can't tolerate
the increase in water and it's in the cracks. So
you want to have as much of a constant supply
of water, steady supply water your to tomatoes as possible,
(17:59):
just so they don't crack as much. I had that
problem at my house, so even though I did all that,
but I just picked them before they ripened, and they
did fine in the house.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Oh good.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
So if you have a problem with cracking, you might
consider picking them a little early and then letting them
just as they start to change color, just as it
happen there, you give it, let them ripe it on
the windowsillars, a little change. It's just fine.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
We've got a call here. All right, good morning, and
welcome to the Green Country Gardener Program. Your question or
comment for Larry Glass.
Speaker 11 (18:33):
All right, this is cafe. You was over at my
house last week and said, my oak tree looks really
sick and it needed some iron. How do I put
they aren't on it? Is it in a bag or
how do you treat it?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
It comes in a bag? Do you say fertilizer with
some iron in it or iron sulfate? I don't know
that we have any We do have iron sulfate in
a a five pound bag and you spread that not
necessarily close to the tree, but that's what they call
the drip line of the tree and it'll help darken
(19:06):
the color of the leaves.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Big circle around it.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Yeah, and U turn on the spring for system. Water
it in.
Speaker 11 (19:13):
Okay, be a good idea that today and let it rain.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
And I don't if we don't know how much it's
good to rain, it could just wash down the hill.
Speaker 11 (19:23):
Head water. I've read where you had to kind of
drill holes, So go down in, is that right?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Or just sprinted around.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
I would put it around the just around there. You
can't drill holes. It'll get it down there quicker. Yeah,
but go ahead and just put it on the ground.
Should do fine.
Speaker 11 (19:41):
Okay, I'll build a person and get some And I
have another thing to tell you. The humming birds are here.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Yeah, I know we had hummingbirds a couple of weeks ago.
They showed up and.
Speaker 11 (19:56):
Okay, well, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
And I want to remind folks too to turn down
your radio or your app when you're on the online
with us, because it'll that's what we were kind of
hearing there is a little bit of a looping replay.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
There in the background half an apple.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
What's that little thing on your phone? There isn't app
for that.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
I believe it's show for application application. Although we're getting
scholarly here. Proper okay, mister proper pH All right, properly,
take a quick break.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
We'll be back back after this two minute time out,
and we'll be proper about it.
Speaker 12 (20:34):
What is a number story?
Speaker 2 (20:36):
My number story started with fear and lack of support,
and it has.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
Led me to be there for others.
Speaker 12 (20:41):
A number story begins in our childhood with aces adverse
childhood experiences.
Speaker 13 (20:47):
My number story begins with the separation from my father
and the emotional abandonment from my mother. It leads to
me being a role model to not only myself but
those around me by becoming a person that wasn't there
for me.
Speaker 12 (20:58):
Aces are so common to thirds of us have one.
Speaker 14 (21:01):
My number story begins with drug abuse and homelessness and
leads to realizing that I can live life by my
own standards.
Speaker 12 (21:08):
A study found the more aces, the more likely we
may experience a host of serious health effects, physical and mental.
But that doesn't need to be the case. Your ace
number is simply an entry point to your own story.
Where it leads is up to you. My number story
begins with years of emotional abuse and leads to peace, clarity,
and security, and my self worth take control of war.
(21:31):
Your number story leads at numberstory dot org.
Speaker 15 (21:38):
The mission of Paralyzed Veterans of America is clear accessibility.
Veterans who have served and sacrificed the best of themselves
deserve access to the best our country has to offer.
Access to meaningful employment, access to the veterans benefits they've earned,
(21:59):
accessible homes and vehicles, and access to every part of
their communities. With PVA staff working inside via hospitals, no
whether Veterans Organization has provided more real time, ongoing support
for paralyzed veterans and their families. PDA is pround to
(22:19):
serve veterans across all branches, all generations, in all conflicts.

I'm Dave Hunziker, and you've got the Bruins, Cardinals, Cowboys
and more on K one A fourteen hundred and f
M ninety three point three.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
All right, welcome back. It is eight thirty two sixty
one degree sunshine for the time being USA, and it
is the Green Country Gardner Program and you can get
your question answered by Larry Glass or expert at one
eight seven four five three six.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
It's probably that second time, maybe that second application of
pre emergent overside, if you do that on your beds,
you don't want to overdo it. And golly, we had
two years ago. It didn't ring very much. I remember that,
and people had this pre merchant in their yards, and
then the next spring after that, some of the grasses
(23:25):
simply didn't come up. Well, if the whole idea of
this pre emergent is, of course to stop seeds from
sprouting and all that, yeah, but if it stays resident
in the soil, in other words, it doesn't wash out
or wash away or delude into the soil or whatever,
it builds up. And a pre merchant is a kind
(23:45):
of a gentle form of a serraulent and causes problems
if you use too much of it.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
It's like anything.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Yeah, so you know, it's better probably just to put
up with just a few weeds there and they're not
worried about it. What I do in my yard. I
have done is a lot. Is this is to stimulate
the positive aspect of the yard. Fertilize the grass. Yeah,
that'll work and take over and do very well. So
(24:16):
the problem is my house I have about three inches
of soiled and it's like an airport. So anyway, it
can be difficult. That's try to maintain a yard in
those situations. So anyway, the soil should be loose and
easy to work for your premier retired to work. I
use some grass killer in my yard to remedia. Grass
(24:38):
went crazy in my beds. Got that out of there.
Remember to compose your plantings too. If you want some
color in there, and you do want some perennials, you
might want to blend in a few annuals as well.
What they do is it kind of bridge the color
gaps and perennials. Not all perennials bloom all the time.
So if you have something in there with your perennials,
(25:00):
give you some color all year round. So you might
consider adding some annuals to your perennial beds. Just see
if it's some color too. Okay, if you have the
dimensions of your bed in mind, we can advise you
on what the plant and kind of know where you live.
Maybe we can kind of know what your soil is
(25:21):
like or lack there of, and make some recommendations also.
But typically around here the lantanas do quite well. Monardas
and things like that do quite well. Dailylies galardias it's
another excellent one. It's a good perennial and bloom for
a long period of time. So there are some plants
and yarrows another give one too, all kinds of perennials
(25:43):
that do very well in our climate here, and you
don't have to replant them every year. They come up
and bloom whenever. The important thing is, though, is to
make sure your soil is very well prepared prior to planting.
This is something we do. It involves a significant portion
of the landscape installation process. Is number one getting the
soil ridder. Number two making sure it's drains really well,
(26:04):
and number three make sure the soil level is not
higher than the floor elevation of the house. But it
took a lot, but if you do have your soil
level above the floor elevation of the house, it can
cause problems with your studs inside the wall too.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Don't want to have trouble there is.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
That moisture gets in here, you get what they called
dry rot. So be sure to make sure that when
you do your beds up front that keep in mind
where your floor elevation is before you decide on an
elevation of your beds. I see this so many times
when we do landscapes. We have to regrade a lot
(26:42):
to get it so the water rens away from the house. Okay.
So preparation is nineteenths to the law. And that look
at your soil type and squeeze a little bit, and
if it holds together real well, you might want to
add some compost to it. And just by default we
always add compost to our compositions when we do the installations,
just because the soil is nice and loose and it
(27:03):
gives you some good nutrients for the plants, okay, without
burning them up, you know. And moulch is always important.
Figure on a two inch layer of molts and you
just measure your surface area and multiply that by whatever
two is or foot the two divided at twelve is
(27:25):
I don't know right now, And that'll tell you how
many cubic feet of molch you need.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Once again, we have to do maths, a little bit.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Of math so you can get approximate of your service area.
Doesn't have to be exact, but you do want that
at least that two inch layer. It does several things.
It does help prevent weeds, it does help conserve moisture,
and it does keep the temperature down a little bit
lower than the soil too, so your plants do a
lot better. So moch moch.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Molts, thank you very much. I did there.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Also look at some of your plants azalias for instance,
Alias are what we call aircaceious yep airtaceous, meaning they
require a low pH and Dentris and some other plants
like that. You need that lower pH and uh if
if you plant them in an alkaline soil, they'll last
(28:24):
by the time you get in the front door of
the house, will probably gone yeah, too high. Too high
a pH on your zis is toxic to them. So
you want to amend this oil with a significant amount
of peed moths. Pe moss is getting expensive too, my goodness,
it is. So we were stretching it out a bit
with peat moths and some pine bark molds. It has
(28:47):
the same effect as just using all peat moths, but
it stretch out, stretches out the dollars a little bit,
and then uh, you have to maintain them within a
type fertilizer on an annual basis too, to keep the
soil peach down where it belongs. So so planting knows
that is culturally different than others. Hydrage is also they
(29:10):
have a unique quality. The PG hydrag is, for instance,
the one that come out blue or pink. Well, you
remember litmus paper. If it's soil is a city, it'll
be blue, and if it's alkaline, it'll be pink. So
you plant this beautiful blue hydrogen you bought it the nursery,
and the next year they come out pink. What happened?
Speaker 1 (29:33):
What happened?
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Chemistry happens. So anyway, keep that in mind too. Please
do good idea to get a soil test done too
before you do landscaping. When we were doing a work
downtown with with a soil test was a prerequisite requirement
to make sure the soil is fine and no big
(29:56):
problems with it chemically or no salts or anything before
we did the which it makes a good sense, and
most of them turn out really just fine. And when
you get that result. You can adjust the soil structure
of chemistry based on what plants are putting in. But
if you're planting Nandina's app don't go anywhere, don't go nowhere.
I tell people the Russians found them on Mars. Oh anyway,
(30:24):
so it helps. It helps. Uh, when you do a
landscape design and you do an estimate on you want
to add some things to that estimate just to maybe
make some adjustments and the soil sea plants will prosper
do well.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
A lot of these plants come from the orient that
we that we plant a lot of them from different
parts of the country. There a different soils over there.
They have a volcanic or igneous type soil. The Asian
continent some part they also had kind of like Oklahoma.
(30:58):
It changes for one house to another, it does. So
you want to keep in mind and you can ask
and we can look it up. You can google it
and say they'll tell you what, what kind of pH
and what kind of chemistry these plants need. Things like
pieris for instance, it's an evergreen plant, has some pretty
flowers on it and so on, looks kind of nice.
(31:19):
It requires a low pH but Lako, though we've grown
it in in a neutral soil, it looks like it
would belong in it in a low page soil. But
it does very well. And it's not very common that
Luko does very well. Heredes Bay interesting plant, so but anyway,
(31:42):
not for Bartlesville.
Speaker 1 (31:44):

Exchanging that pack. Welcome back to the Greek God regard
your program. And it is eight forty four sixty one
where he's on. Our phone line is open at one
eight hundred seven four nine five nine three six. He's
Larry Glass. He knows a few things. I'm Tom. I
just answered the phone.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Yeah, those are scratch waffles.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
He's showing me pictures of his breakfast.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
And well, this is a a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Couple weeks ago. Also, you showed a pretty mean yuka plant.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Yeah, there are some yukka plasma.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
This is.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
This is a big blue one and actually you can
trim it up. That has almost a palm tree electric
to it over time, so you can trim it up
from the bottom.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
And that one just looked like a big old exploding ball.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Yeah, it's a yeah anyway thing for those of you
with color radio. Yes, there it is right there. It's
just sixty tall. It's this huge yuka plant. And see
those leaves on the bottom there, you can cut them
down and it shows the stem and this is very hardy.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
Here.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Actually it's a blue blue yuka and that's right here
in the Yeah, yeah, right here. It's a little and
we planted several of on this property. He's letting them
grow up, and then we can cut off the lotwer
benches and it looks has a very talk they get
six feet about it, it'll get about six almost ape tallow.
(35:14):
It's a rather unique plant, a little a little pricey,
but man, what a what a specimen.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
What a beautiful thing?
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Yeah, so yukus. And it's really not that thorny or anything.
It's not that bad.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
It looks like it, but it's not.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
I wouldn't put it near a swimming pool. So you
can use those in the landscape, and this particular one
we use it. It's kind of an arid type plandscape
looks really nice. I was there yesterday talking about some
other things you might want to do. So okay, trees,
(35:52):
uh container and bald and burl at trees can be
planted just about any time. Just don't move them. Be
sure to water them proper. Go see a tree today
we planted last week. I think she might have overwatered it.
The do require a bit of a drying period between,
so you might want to check it out. And I
usually tell people don't Number one, don't water it in
(36:13):
the afternoon. In the morning because in the afternoon the
hose gets.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
Hot and it'll burn it right there, b r T.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
Right there, you'll have a root for lunch. I guess
you'll burn them up and cook them. And so that's
probably one of the biggest problems that people have is
hot water and the hose with water and plants because
of the tissues to collapse in there and just drives up. Oh,
here we go. This is Saturday, yesterday.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
We're looking at storm zone pictures.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
Folks. Good night, Okay, then get out there.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Yeah, you know one or two. I'm enjoying it while
at lasts Larry, Yeah, I don't know about you.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
So any of on newly planet trees, you want to
water them fairly thoroughly, but not so frequently. Just let
them dry out a little bit. That way the risk
will venture forth and take over into the landscape. Okay,
so they're pretty easy to get established. Don't fertilize them
yet either, wait until they've established to give them the fertilizer. Typically,
(37:20):
when we plant, we add some composts to the soil
and they keeps them going for a year or so.
So you don't don't add fertilizer to them until they're established. Okay,
they do just fine. And if they're a little discolored
here and there, there's probably you know, you forget the
water once with tw life, they're very forgiving. They should
come back, okay. Kind of shrubs kind of the same
(37:42):
way the shrubbed aad killer and backdrop seasonal stability your
landscape using the hide unsightly stuff. And maybe some neighbors
who that. I go to a lot of people's houses
and you look over there and they you know, your
your breakfast, your neighbors having wheedies for breakfast. WHOA You
(38:05):
might want to do some trees and shrubs, wraps for
some privacy in the backyard too. I did that in
my yard. I can't see anything back there, which is
a good thing. Yeah, so you cept my plants. Now
the lilies are getting ready to bloom. They're about five
feet tall, huge plants, and you know what's going to happen.
They're going to be leap or bloomed out and then
(38:27):
we'll have a storm beat them all up. What can
you do with lap? I mean, come on, so anyway, lawns,
right now is time to raise them more up and
notch a little bit. We talked about that in the past.
For your fescue grass to raise it up a little bit,
but festque and so just raise them up a little bit,
(38:51):
just so they have more surface areas to transpire. The
plants the use of water to keep themselves cool, and
the more surface area they have on them, the better
the cooling process. The more efficient the coolings want to be,
and the less hot it gets it so it'll be
better off. So, yeah, don't don't leave the grass too low.
(39:12):
When he gets hot, he raise it up. Okay. Oh,
golly birds, hummingbirds are here. So plant Salvia, Lentana, menarda, honeysuckle,
Petunia penta. There's a lot of them, liverords that hummingbirds
really like.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
I tell you what. They do a lot of eating
for I.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
Have lantana pots in my backyard. Yeah, they're electronically water too.
That's pretty cool. They really and the butterflies really like
the lanannas, and the hummingbirds really appreciate that too. Tell
you might consider planting some plants that they sort of like.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
The visitors.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Yeah, really very vigital things too.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
Tray of the week is the teddy bear magnolia. I
gotta call my magnolias in all the leaves. I said,
it's the time here.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
They do that.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
Yeah, it's weird. They springtime is for shedding, yes, right,
and they're putting on flowers. But some of the leaves
are falling off. It's normal. So we're gonna litter for
a little bit and nothing to worry about. But anyway,
so magnolia is our tree. Wik specifically maybe a teddy bear.
Teddy bear is a smaller growing magnolia about forty by
(40:24):
twenty feet, which is small bird for magnolia. Seems kind
of big though. I remember in Georgia, Jolly, these magnolias
the biggest the front yard. They're huge. Yeah, they are
so here they don't get quite so big. We planted
one at somebody's house. He wanted some privacy first office,
and it's still there that we did that in the eighties.
(40:46):
We planeted it and it's still still and the leaves
are starting to fall off. So because it's the time here,
they do so anyway, Magnolia trees, they you got to
grow about it anywhere. They have a shallow root system,
and because of that you want to leave the lower
branches on. You want them. As one of my professors
(41:09):
of college said, dancing Southern bills dancing across the landscape.
You want to leave the big branches all the way
to the ground because they drop something every single day
and they have shallow roots. It be nixon possible to
keep it clean underneath unless you just hide it with
(41:29):
the lower branches. So like a spruce tree, people they
like them all the way from the ground up. Kind
of a similar thing for that. So try not to
trim up the magnolia tree. It's better off if it's
if it has lower branches close to the ground, then
you don't have to worry about it. You just take
the leaf lower and blow the leaves into they keep
(41:52):
it clean. Here you go bill a little present there
are just getting ready to bloom. Also, I notice a
lot of blossoms on the magnolia tree cert in Town two,
and they're very tolerant that that glossy color helps kind
of seal the leaves up a little bit when it
gets real drowny, so you don't really have to water
it too much. But if it does get really really dry,
(42:14):
you might want to water up plants specifically because they
are somewhat shallow rooted. So magnolia tree is a good
good thing in the yard given room. If you have
a small yard, it won't work. You might consider if
you want to magnolia, you might consider star magnelia perhaps,
or saucer magnillia. Even the saucer magnolias get real big.
The star bagnoid stay a little smaller, but keep in
(42:37):
mind they're going to get to be big plants, okay.
And even even the teddy bear might be a bit
too large for some cases too. And if you tram
it up, you're constantly you're going to be working a
lot leaves coming down, and in parts of the fats
when they come out, they have a sheath around the
leaf and it sheds that that's around two so they're
(43:00):
kind of messy. It okak. Good plans though beautiful in
the landscape. Yeah, but you gotta have enough room trying
to keep them off in the distance. And they do
very well.
Speaker 1 (43:09):
Again, folks, we're going to take a little time out here.
Let's see, it's going to be a two minute, thirty
second time out.

Jane Phillips and Bartlesville.
Speaker 17 (43:49):
In nineteen thirty nine, James Farley, the former chairman of
the Democratic National Committee and Franklin Roosevelt's Postmaster General, travel
to Bartlesville, Oklahoma to meet with Frank Phillips. This was
a special meeting, and for Frank a bit different, as
Farley did not come to visit about oil or banking.
He had another purpose. He came to Bartlesville to try
(44:10):
to convince mister Phillips to buy the New York Yankees
baseball team. The former owner had died in nineteen thirty nine,
and Farley and others felt that Frank had the resources
necessary to buy the ball club. Already a wonderful dynasty
with such greats as Babe Ruth and Lou Garrick leading
the way the Yankees were known worldwide. And would certainly
provide great personal and professional exposure to Frank in to
(44:34):
Phillips Petroleum. After much consideration, Frank decided not to buy
the Yankees, and despite their continued success, he never regretted
that decision, as he told his friends, I just couldn't
buy him. I've always been a National League man. Come
enjoy the magic of Willarock and welcome home to Willarock.

got Larry.
Speaker 2 (46:08):
Anyway, that's rub of the week this week is Nanina's. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (46:14):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (46:16):
There's several actually several types of nandinas. It's not your
your old fashioned plants that kind of grow everywhere. They've
got some some refined ones too, very good. And one
I really like is this deep deep purple leaves on it.
I can't think of the name right now. I think
it's sand of sunrise or something like that. Anyway, Oh,
obsession Nandina, the obsession. Yeah, And what I like about
(46:39):
them is they don't spread everywhere. They just formed this
tight little shrub, no bugs, heat tolerant, cold tolerant, disease resistant.
You know, it has all the attributes you really want.
And this particular plant doesn't spread out everywhere. It stays.
Speaker 1 (46:58):
It's pretty little maintenance.
Speaker 2 (47:00):
I have one at my house to the right of
the garage, faces south and all winter on it was
bright red, beautiful, and now it's putting on new leaves
and and it'll be a purple color for the most
part of the summer. Really, so it's really the obsession
is really an excellent plant, uh that they come up with.
(47:22):
I guess about knee higher. So it's not a huge
plant either. So it's good for sake color accidents for you.
Really don't have to do anything, you know, Sign me.
Speaker 1 (47:31):
Up, Sign me up. I wanted to look good them
all on.
Speaker 2 (47:34):
And so if it's if it's on a southern exposure
or a western exposure the wintertime, the appearance in the
winter just can't be beat. It's a really good plant obsession,
no bugs, no diseases. It will grow just about anywhere.
Some people have managed to kill them, so otherwise I
(48:00):
want to get established there. Really quite well. They don't
set any flowers, they don't do anything like that. They're
just kind of a green and purple and purple shrub.
Very attractive plant. And it's kind of tight to you
know something anteenas ending as they have these stems that
this has a very tight form to it too. So
that and the Dwarf. Dwarf and Ending are just they're
(48:22):
kind of what we call workhorses in the landscape. They
do really quite well with a whole lot, with not
a whole lot of preparation and very little maintenance.
Speaker 1 (48:32):
Are these things spread out?
Speaker 2 (48:33):
No used to be now the old fashioned ending is
do they get six feet tall and they come up
all over the place, and that's kind of giving them
a bit of a bad name. But these new ones
really don't do that, so just.
Speaker 1 (48:48):
Kind of stay in their own little sphere exactly, very good,
well behaved.
Speaker 2 (48:52):
So you might consider some of those just for some
seasonal interest in the off season, and even in the
old season, they're they're quite attractive, quite nice. So anyway,
we've got that and several other things to the nursery too,
all kinds of new stuff. You got plenty of sun
patients on hand right now, geraniums and just about any
(49:12):
pereneal you can think of. Gary has done a great
job growing those perennials are beautiful and we export a
lot of them too, so we bring some money in town. Yeah.
So anyway, so you might come check out the perennials
and the annuals we have and also we have sectioned
some herbs and sectioned for hommingbirds. You might want to
(49:34):
track some on birds. We got some planets that they
like to as well. So anyway, you know where we are,
halfway between No Water Road and Madison Boutle Arts on
the south side of or No Water Road, south side
of No Water Road, and come on and check us out,
check out our annuals or prinials and our tropicals, and
enjoy the waterfall in the greenhouse.
Speaker 1 (49:55):

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
