Speaker 1 (00:09):
Hey, good morning, good morning, good morning. Welcome, welcome, welcome,
and it's time for the Green Country Gardner program now
once again. That telephone line is open at one eight
hundred and seven four nine five nine three six. Good
morning to you all. I know that some of you
have woken up to no power and they're working on it.
In fact, we do have some reports of some down
(00:31):
power lines here in the Bartlesville, Oklahoma area. We have
a silver lake closed at Rice Creek to Georgetown. At Georgetown,
I should say, because there is a power line down
in the road at Georgetown. Seventy five mile per hour
winds raced through parts of Kansas and Oklahoma this morning,
and that was just a good morning, nurse. It was
(00:54):
looking like a hurricane blowing that wind around. It was crazy,
some mad Hey, that's quite a eighty is a hurricane.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
I don't even think my old truck would go that fast.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
I think of the tail wind and with the miley
you maybe so third class boy? In goodness sake, how
is it to around your ranch?
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Well, at my house, I just had a broken tree
branch and I'll address that, uh some point in time.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Right now, that's very.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
So yeah, so I'll address that when I get home today.
We have a good day at the nursery today, hope, Oh, yes,
you do.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
You got it? You know, a rainy day in the garden,
big day at the.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Greenhow hopefully I haven't been to the nursery. I hope
hopefully there's a roof still on the greenou Gary, I'll
let you know. Well, the phone hasn't run yet, so
he's good. But I did one of my guys go
check it out and they we canceled the tree planning
this morning for obvious reasons.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
But you might find another tree somewhere else.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Yeah, so it's schedule for next Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
So it just kind of moved. But that's that's going
on there at the Greenhoun.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Hey. At the nursery today, we have a big day
with the A s p c. A. Yeah, they're they're
bringing some puppies out to be adopted and just just
to kind of cuddle and whatever.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
And we have.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Some plants on sale here and there too, yeah, just
a few. Yeah, And there's a food trug going to
be out there a few hundred calories with a few
good stuff to eat. Oh yeah, and if you decide
to adopt a pet. The nursery has covered the expense
for the the adoption fee.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Wow, we so that that's very generous of you.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Sure, well, it's up we would like to do to
promote animal whatever, well.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Dogs the dog woods, we got it here. Oh that's great. Yeah,
I understand. You can have somebody playing a little music
out there.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Yeah, there's a one of our employees has a daughter
who likes to play country music. Were playing that too,
that would be kind of fun it between rainstorms. Well,
the greenhouse is hopefully is dry on the inside.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
So yeah, well you've got people checking that out. Yeah good.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
I remember one time it was in January. It was
cold and it got really really windy, and it blew
the greenhouse top off. It's a new one we put in,
and uh, somebody purchased it wasn't made for somebody purchased
the wrong gage of the polythylene and it wasn't held
down very well. And we were up there in the
(03:34):
wind trying to put that down, and I said, no, no, no,
we got to stop this. We moved air all the
inventory in the greenhouse back to other greenhouses which was
unaffected sure, and was able to make all the stuffs
survive and it was frozen and cold and.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Rescue mission in the middle.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Yeah, it looked it looked really bleaking there at that time.
That's a long time ago to so anyway, so hopefully
there's everything's okay out there. So we had a lot
of plants that are sideways. I'm sure, I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
And if you're worrying about pruning your fruit trees, mother
nature might have done a little something for you.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
I have a lot of plums from a plum tree
out of the yard right now.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Oh boy, I'm sorry. This is going to be a
vintage here. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Last year was I put on the jar just twenty
four Oh but anyway, one of the plum trees is
onnest way out. I'm gonna have to dig it up
and plant a new one. I guess they just don't
last forever. It's been there about eighteen years, so it's
about time to replace it.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
So anyway, that's what's going on at the nursery. So
come on out and check it out. Then I have
a good time and pet the animals and perhaps pick
up some flowers if they're not over in Ramona. Oh okay,
And the fruit trees right now. You want to avoid
systemics at this time. The kneem oil, it's really good
(04:54):
for insects and funcus. Look for borer activity also, and
scrape away the frash and dried sap. That way you
can tell. You can apply spiners ad to the trunks.
So there's a lot of things you can do with
the fruit trees. The fruit is on the tree is
getting ready to go. I know, I picked a few
cherries the other day. They were delicious. So it's kind
(05:16):
of a quiet time as far as sprague is concerned.
But I kind of like to use the spinazad and
the knem oil and stuff on the tree, and it
seems to be very effective in controlling insects. Okay, And
so yeah, you do want to avoid the systemics once
again at the vegetable garden this week. Keep the soil
loosened in light of the rain. It does have a
(05:38):
tendency to compact the soil again.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
It does, so get out there and move that dirt.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
It's time of course, the plant warm season seeds and
consider rotating what you planted last year. Gypsum prepared the
soil and we talked about this in January. Gyp and
if you forgot to do it, well, it's probably not
too late, but anyway, it's better. It works a lot
if it's in the ground a little bit rather than
trying to make it do instantly. It doesn't.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
It doesn't happen that way.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Okay, where was a oh yeah, a special guard this week? Yes,
magnesium sulfate. You might put a little bit of that
around your tomatoes. That tend to like it real well.
Potatoes should be about twelve to eighteen inches tall, almost
time to dig them up. I like to use a
fertilizer with the trace elements in it. They don't use
the big old bag of stuff without knowing what's in it.
(06:32):
Look at the back of the bag and you should
have all these little symbols in the mg F E
and some one iron and all that. You want those
trace elements in there to help the plant out too, Okay,
got it, So keep the soil loosen a little bit.
And we do have a fertilizer for tomatoes and has
a lot of those tracers in it too, so it
(06:53):
makes a lot healthier tomato and a lot better tasting
tomato plant too. On the lawn this week, it's time
of fertilizer per mute and zoida. I like to add
iron cell fate and you see that in a lot
of fertilizers. They do put some iron and stuff in
it and it does help darken the color and those
trace elements are good for the plants too. Craggrass is
(07:15):
up and coming, and something called queenchlorac or furlan weed
out with crabgrass killer to control before they get too mature.
If the crabgrass gets too well established, you can't control it.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
It just it owns you.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
It just kind of laughs at you when you did that.
And I saw some crabgrass coming up, and I use
some of that stuff on it and it's gone. And
it selectively removes annual grasses without killing the bermuda grass.
I think I'll over applied it a little bit, but
if the bermutgrass is starting to recover. So I don't
have a sprinkler system in my house, but I do
(07:54):
have six inches of soil. So it makes it difficult
to grow a really nice My neighbor a cross the street,
he knows nothing about horticulture. He has the most beautiful
on but that.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
The way it goes. But he has dirt got good dirt.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Yeah, he has an irrigation system and we had to
do some repairs on it. You dig all the way
down to infinity and not hit any rock, so that
makes a big difference. So if you're in the market
to build a house and you do it in an
area that is rocky, you might consider before you really
get started on the landscape part of it, digging all
that rock out, maybe bringing in some soil or something,
(08:33):
just so you can have some nice stuff. I know
that firsthand. Okay, So crabgrass once it's up. There are
some posts emergent controls, MSMA works pretty well, and Queen
Clarac and all that other stuff, but I don't like.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
To use a lot of those.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
I do tolerate a few weeds, a little bit of
crabgrass here in there. You know the big I don't
you know. I come home and look at it and
go in the house and cook.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
You know, there you go really as you take a
click and there.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Yeah, one day a week to maintain the garden. So
crape myrtles right now. They're really growing grow rapidly right
now at this point, so there'll be differentiating pretty soon.
Differentiating means of the tip of the of the stem.
As they grow, the leaves will look a little different.
That means the length of day is shortening a little
(09:25):
bit and they and they'll start to produce blooms. There
are some we have some early blooming varieties in bloom
right now at the nursery, so they can give you
a little bit more time to have cr Yeah, and
also look for crape myrtle scale. It's very very prevalent,
(09:45):
and it's easy to see because the stems typically the
stems on the on the crape myrtles somewhat tan colored,
but if they're if they're exhibiting somewhat of a blackness,
almost looks like it's spin on fire. That's the sign
that you have scale. And the mold, which is the
black stuff, is a mold actually in it and it
forms from the sugars that the the the scale insects exude.
(10:15):
It's an interesting symbiosis between uh scale insects and ants.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
So anyway, so look at your craig myrtle. Work carefully.
If it just doesn't look healthy, look at the stem
real carefully, and look for tiny little eggs stuck to
the stem and those are the well they look like eggs,
but those are the scale insects. And also on oak
trees too, almost every oak tree. I go to everybody's house.
So look, you got you have scale on your oak tree,
(10:40):
and uh, they're real getting It's getting real bad on
oak trees as well. So look at your oak tree
up there, and if you see these little bumps on it,
and it's very prevalental and say pinoaks and northern red
oaks and whatnot, it basically all oaks that you got
a problem with the scale and it drains the plant
(11:02):
of it of its health and makes it weak, falls
over in the storms.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
A lot of that going on exactly, So look out
for that too.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Is that with Craig Murlins on the shrubs, go ahead
and continue to fertilize your shrubs. Look at your holly plants.
Look at the size of the leaf that they're getting
a little smaller than they used to be. That's a
sign that the soil pH is too high. So once
once again iron sulfate will help darkened color and alleviate
(11:34):
that smallness of leaves. And also they get susceptible to
a fungus disease. Uh, and they get black spots and
yellow leaves, so.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
I gotta keep an eye out.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
This is Oklahoma. We have sedimentary soil and the phdins
are in a little high little jes yeah, little yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
All right, tell you what, Let's take a quick break.
We'll be right back after this two minute time out.
Speaker 4 (11:59):

Are you putting your family's financial future at risk by
not having enough life insurance? David Woods, president of the
Life Foundation.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
The consequences can be devastating if you don't have life insurance.
Life insurance isn't a luxury, It's a necessity for sound
financial planning.
Speaker 9 (13:55):
A message from the nonprofit Life Foundation.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Welcome back to the Green Country Gardener Program. It's eight
twenty three sixty three degrees. It's hoping your power has
returned to those who are affected by the storms. Early
early this morning. Our toll free number is wide open
one eight hundred seven three six. I know a lot
of people want to we're thinking about trying to get
out and about. We got to go pick up a
(14:25):
satellite dish in our parking lot here in a little bit.
Uh yeah, you kind of went in here. Oh my yeah?
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Is that that big? When that that front?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
The one little smaller one but smaller. The wind got
it and you might have some down trees or limbs
in your area. I believe there's.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
More precipitation on the way. Isn't there all.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
The way up until Monday night break? Your flood watch
fourty six inches possible throughout this period.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
We registered a half inch in our rank age. You did, okay,
just in that short period of time.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
How'd you ring gage get? It is going sideways?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I have it on the patio.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
I have it.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
There's a big rock, and I have some angle irons
anchored to that big rock, and then a two by
four coming up holding this ring gage.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
You don't believe in you sturdiness at all.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
Not at all.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
It's kind of overdone. But but it's still there.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
It's there, and it's accurate.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
It does exactly so so you have to kind of
plan for these. My god golly so trees. Also trying
to trend back the dog woods if you need to.
Right now it's time for fertilizing trees, maybe the last
pertilization for the year. Uh, good time to plant new ones.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Especially if you lost some old ones over the.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Ground.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
So what we just throw it off the back of
the truck and it just dumped into the clay. You know,
the look good. Also when picking out a tree, I
say this over and over again, noted utilities and drainage
patterns too. Don't don't planet tree in a drainage pattern
because the root masks will swell the soil up and
then you'll have to open the front and the back
(16:10):
door of the garage in order to get the rain
out of your backyard.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
So I actually have seen people where they have to
do that.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I bet you have.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Yeah, I have actually, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
People, little space, little space.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Don't planet tree in the in the in the flood,
it'd be a good time to see how your water
drains in the yards, you know where not the plant tree.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Just a little observation of way.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
So anyway, so we have some pretty good trees to
plant right now. I hope I've been to the nursery
this morning. They might they might be in the turley
or maybe ocean aid perhaps I don't know, but anyway,
there we'll find out prey soon. But anyway, just time
(17:01):
to apply systemics for lacebugs on your azalias. Lacebugs are
a real problem with azelias. Look under the leaf and
if you see these little brown spots under there, chances
are those or lace lace wings.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
How do we get how do we get rid of they?
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Systemic can suck Society will do that. The medicalopri will
work on that too, so we'll be pretty good for that.
Spider mite, sir, will become a problem pretty soon. They
do like the hot weather. Get in your box woods
and your boxwoods too. And I was meeting with a
customer yesterday. She said, oh, I don't like the old smell.
And I said, well, I don't have a problem in
my house because I use soapy water on them and
(17:35):
spray them down with that and let it sit for
an hour and then rense it off and they do.
Fun don't have a problem with them, so oh okay. Well,
we do have other plants besides boxwoods that kind of
do the same thing. They don't have that problem. So
if you do want a boxwood, I like to plant
them on the east side of the house made the
north side. I have someone on the west side of
(17:56):
my house. But also have a was in spray with
some dish. Open it anyway. But if you do that,
make sure I've run. I did this one time with
my gorge. I had aphins on them and I forgot
to rinse it off and all the leaves and it
went to shrivel up. But they still has some big gourds.
(18:20):
I grew some last year.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
There's there's a big, big industrial drum size.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
I know, it's as big as as somebody's Torso these
huge gorge only I only got about four of them.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
You're hold your arms. That's bigger than me, you know,
and I'm kind of sizeable.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Well yeah, well yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Somebody once told me I was buoyant and said.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Alicia float I always had the sinking problem when I'm
in the water to the ground. Anyway, I have those,
and I grew last year some different gords too. They're
really cool. I used them to spread bird seed around
the patio. Cut them in half, and I might bring
somebody the nursing lits people take them if they want.
(19:05):
I don't know, so anyway, landscaping, get a landscape plan.
I've got several of them on the on the deal.
You've seen some I've showed them to you. And if
there's something you like somebody's landscape, just tell me where
it is and I can identify the plants easily, and
perhaps we can utilize some of those plants on your
(19:25):
landscape plan. I met with a customer yesterday and showed her.
She was really kind of surprised because, oh, that's my house.
Well you know, well, yeah, that's.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
What we're working on, is landscaping.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
For your your house. Yeah. And actually a customer brought
in an AI program. Yeah, they got when you get
your phone, take a picture of what you want landscape,
and it comes back. It takes into account your longitude
and latitude and all that. And I said, well, some
of these won't work, some of them will. You know,
(20:00):
it's not not quite there yet.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
No, No, they're still teaching AI. That's still very artificial.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Yes, so you want an artificial landscape, I need to
download that app and try it out, just see what
see what it does.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Be kind of fun. Let the doctor see what it does.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
So so anyway, and of course I use a CAD
program and it's kind of easy to change. And sometimes
somebody might want something different. I shipped out something yesterday,
all these pictures with different schemes. It's different appearances because
the house is styled kind of contemporary, if you will,
(20:41):
and it's very square and someone almost oriental like. So
I gave him several choices of appearance in the landscape.
Do you want a curbed beds? You want square beds?
What when they designed the house or when they bought
the design of the house, what were they looking for? Uh,
(21:02):
as far as structure, the house is concerned. And do
we need to continue that theme outwards on the landscape
or do we want to disguise it or we want
to compliment the whole idea of a landscape. It's it's
a compliment the landscape to the house too. So we
gave them some choices in they're moulling it over right now.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
That's got to be kind of fun. I mean, I mean,
you've been at it for more than a minute. Yeah,
you know what works. You know it doesn't work, sure,
but by God, like you know, every house is different, right,
so it's not going to be a cookie cutter. Every
every one of these projects is going to be tanner made.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
For this one faces west and it's in an area
where there's a lot of rock, so an irrigation system
is probably in the work too. But still, you gotta
you gotta consider all that stuff on the west side
of it's kind of hot. Here we go again. Anyway,
(21:58):
it's not gonna do that look too bad.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
We were taking a look, we were taking a look
at a radar suite. No, here we go.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
It's all I know is arc, you know. So anyway,
you take all that into account when you did soil
type and exposure architecture of the house too. If it
has a very and one I did had a kind
of a nondescript you know, there was really was no style.
So I did the landscape in a configuration that actually
(22:25):
created a sense of style on a very bland house.
So we'll see how that goes. Very good, But this
other house is very stylized, but the landscape needs to
complement it or follow through with it. You know what
I mean, because you don't really have to emphasize the house.
So all these factors you've got to do in and
(22:46):
I don't think AI will do that. So, uh, well,
that comes to irrigation systems and you want to make
sure that they're engineered properly. You want to inventory the
available water pressure, et cetera. So we runt that problem
out east of town on one and with fifty pounds
of water pressure and then then it registered forty pounds
(23:10):
and hey, and then so we're going to the customers.
It's going to put a booster pump in so we
can at least get the thing to cover. So there's
the water pressure. Apparently it's not available in that area.
So that's the remedy. I mean, I recalibrated the whole
thing and it works pretty good. But there's sometimes when
(23:32):
there just simply isn't enough pressure.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Enough pressure.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Now you're pulling about eight gallons a minute and you
still don't get any performance.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Wow, Wow, that's stressed.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
And it turns on the faucet in the house and well,
whenever you can get round and round to it, can
you come on out of there. So that's a little
bit of a problem. So we're working on that and
resolving at that. And we have an internet based timer.
It's his telephone perfect with it, and he wanted me
to go in with it on it so I could
(24:04):
control the two would not work. I really think it's
settings for his home internet. Really won't let me get
through to it.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Oh a little firewall.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
I think it's just a firewall thing.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
But anyway, so he's getting very astute at running the system,
and uh, there you can run it manually as well.
It's just you do a lot of running around trying.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
To shoven Martha, try to to that, got me right?
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Ye? But I did give him a zone map. Good
that the areas correspond with the numbers on the timer.
So okay, yeah that ares water. I look on the map. Okay,
you get on the phone through it, there it goes.
So that's pretty cool. So anyway, if you do get
a sprinter system done, no matter who does it, you
want to make sure you get his zone map.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
You need that.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
It saves a lot of steps cause you say, well,
my backyard's a little bit dry. Well is it one?
Two or three or six?
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Got me? I remember which.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
One it is? And you can do that yourself.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
You can take your process of elimination.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
You can take your sprinkler system and turn on station
number one to get a make a drawing of the yard,
pencil in area where number one is and put it
up by the timer. So easy that way, maybel it's
the backyard. I don't remember what number that one is,
you know that kind of a thing.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
No, but we got the mailman coming up the lane.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Get them.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Let's take a break.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
It helps to knowwhere where they are, especially if you've
got twelve circuits. That makes it easier.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Oh my gosh. All right, well, it's a time now
to take a little bit of a break and we
will be right back after these words.
Speaker 4 (25:47):

Speaker 10 (26:45):
I was under me, have did some stupid things, how
committed some crimes, even got shot.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
But I'm not a criminal, that's right.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
I'm Jamal.
Speaker 11 (26:54):
I'll work for you to advocate programs. Yet I was
Tomani's advocate, help him stay out of jail, stay in
the neighborhoo to get a job, and work hard to
see a better future for himself. If you have a
change of mindset, you can have a change of action.
Speaker 8 (27:06):
As a little kid, I experienced trauma and I acted out,
made some mistakes, But I'm not a mistake.
Speaker 9 (27:12):
No, She's a good student and a great kid.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
As Jalens yeah advocate.
Speaker 12 (27:17):
I'm always here for her. With the Youth Advocate programs
I was able to connect with Jalen. YEP is a
community based alternative to youth incarceration, congregate placement, and neighborhood violence.
After completing our program, eighty six percent of participants where
arrest free.
Speaker 10 (27:33):
YAP works and now I mean YEP advocate helping kids
like me find it.
Speaker 12 (27:37):
By the way youth advocate programs, others talk social change,
we make it happen.
Speaker 9 (27:42):
Learn how at yapinc Dot org.
Speaker 13 (28:00):
Been out the parent.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
All right, and welcome back to the Green Country Gardener program.
It is eight thirty six and sixty four degrees. I'm
starting to see a little lightness in the sky instead
of lightning.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Now I think we're going to have a brief party
of here of the oh yeah, the era of the irrigation.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Yeah, of the right. Yeah, So the kids can go
to the carnival, do your graduation stuff, and then let
the rain afterwards. Here our phone line is open and
you can call us up in one eight hundred seven
three six.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Yes, and once again back to sprinter systems. Yes, they
need They can be very efficient, but they can be
very inefficient too.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Yeah, like if they're running willet wall is raining.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Yeah, but rain gages help. They have these our rain
sensors that are wireless. We put them in all of
ours or wireless rain sensor and some of the newer
timers also account for the weather. So I have one
of those in my garage. And when you drive in
there's this light on the blinks and it's green, it
(29:04):
turns yellow or then like this morning, it was redt.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
You're so.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
So they're called the smart smart timers, and it's still
a good idea to go ahead and put a rain
sensor in along with them. And they do have ports
for those in their circuitry to account for a rain
sensor too, and a temperature sensor as well. But they're
getting they're any kind of smart with these things. It
can adjust the amount of water it gets based on
(29:36):
the irrigation and your soil type. You have to enter
all this data in the soil type.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Are you growing grass, a, you're growing shrubs? What kind
of a slope do you have? And all this other stuff.
Does he get a lot of sun? Or what's the
drainage like? And then once you get all that criteria
in there, it has ai.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Put it into the old computer to see what.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
Had that will turnout? And then it takes data from
the data.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Data is on Star Trek.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
From the from the Weather Service and plugs that into
the too that and it since there and thinks a
minute and says, well, you're not going to get water today.
It also really I might at home. I got a
demo from the supplier. It it this windy, so we're
not going to water.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Oh yeah, well you just just go all over the
place where you.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Want water the neighbors yards send them a bill. Sure,
so yeah, it accounts for that as well. So they're
getting smart with these things. And you really have to
because golly, look what happened a year before last with
the reservoir. Yeah, you really got to be smart with
this stuff. And I still see even this morning people
out water in the yards in the rain, and you know,
(30:53):
come on. And actually, the the smart timers again less
expensive too. They're becoming more prevalent and more of a
almost a standard.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Then.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
I don't know if if any place is made a
cold requirement or not, but it read of death.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
I'll ever do that.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
But at least a rain sensor to shut the thing
off when it when it does rain. We'll save you
some money and save us some water too, Kelly. When
he gets a really really dry in the summer, we're
going to need you know that water too, So let's
try not to use it all up on grass that's
already wet.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Also, another thing to consider is lighting on the outside,
and I like to use LED lights. Halogen lights are
kind of kind of pass a. I don't know if
you'd buy out or lighting with LED.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
You remember when halogen was like the big thing.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Yeah, wow, this world's white hot light in there. So
they're available in the copper brows. So then when I'm
stayingless steel and so on, and really I like to
use the either or one that has all the same
metal on it. The reason for that is galvanic corrosion.
So you don't and that's a real thing, folks. Yeah,
(32:11):
if you have an aluminum one with a brass screw
or a yeah, it'll just corrode. Don't don't. Don't fall
for an aluminum lightning picture. It's stainless steel or brass
aluminum just that or somebody somebody even iron heel steel
(32:31):
over the last few years and I've tried them all,
so now we get the we use old brass ones.
These things are heavy, I mean the way well they're brass, yeah,
and heavy too their machine Actually there's no problems. They
just they're not going to go anywhere and that and
they're assembled with they kind of pop together if you
(32:55):
will with an over ring, so there's no screws holding
it together, so you don't have that. And when you
come on the outside, it's the metal attachment on it
and it has a plastic thing with a stainless screw
in it, so there's no way to rush. Yeah, I
won't rust so and they just last forever. They cost more.
They're like sixty dollars apiece.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Well yeah, but you take a look at all the
time you're replacing the you.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
Buy a cheap one for thirty dollars, now you know,
and then it goes coup put. Five years later you
buy another one that's forty dollars, and then see you
buy the same thing and then four years later it's
sixty dollars. So you spent one hundred and twenty dollars
on something which you initially would have only spent, you know, sixty.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Dollars forty dollars for take the long range play exactly.
I think long You said it, and I get it.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Yeah. Also, when you're doing a lighting you say, well,
i've got ten light pictures, there are four wats apiece.
I need a forty watt timer. No, you need an
you need to double the average.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Because you go in places.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Well you could add onto it also and it doesn't
have to work as hard and then lasts longer. Yeah,
and don't don't put them out in the rain, and
try not to put them inside the garage because it
can overheat. If it shorts out, it can cause some problems.
Yeah fire, yeah, so yeah. Really in my house, I
have about two hundred watch of lights. I have a
(34:27):
six hundred WAT transformer and it just runs as cool
as a cucumber. It does never And we did that
on a landscape plan. We have all these lights on
there and we over overkilled the transformer. No problems. So
you have to take take a ivice from an electrician.
(34:49):
You always want to overdesign it.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
A little bit, just a little bit for your own protect.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
It's the same thing with sprinker systems. If you're pulling,
you know, fifteen gallons a minute, you need a one
inch pipe at least. So that's kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Got to do the math, do the math right.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
How to save water in the landscape, Well, we talked
about the microsystem. That's the one way. Not but a
good deep soil preparation. When we do our landscapes, we
go down fairly deep in the soil and get it
all turned up and put some composts in it. And
what that does is it helps loose the soil so
the water winter does come in goes down in through
it easily. Our soil here is naturally just kind of
(35:27):
heavy and when it rains, it kind of runs off.
If you have a bed or something that will actually
absorb the water, then it can store it deep in
the lower clay layers and make it come up.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Gotcha.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
So it's a flywheel of that kind of thing. If
you have a heavy soils, it doesn't get in very deep.
It all runs off and you have less less of
a battery of water in there. So you do want to.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Do maximize your potential.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
You do want to do and it's some backwork. Been
doing backwork for forty years. Hasn't hurt me.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
At all, No, it has and say that pinacle of fitness,
thank you.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
So'll you want to make sure to get some good
deep soil prep so it will act as a battery
to hold water. And to do that you add organic
materials such as pete moser compost which also helps store
water too, and it's good aeration for the plants too
to do better.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be back
after this two minute timeout.
Speaker 8 (36:33):

Speaker 3 (39:07):
Let's talk a little bit about Japanese maple.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
Let's do that. We haven't done that all day.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
The Japanese maple is a really treasure and it can
be a real treasure in the landscape. I have one
in my backyard. I had to relocate it like four
different times.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
You pickies side of a gun art well to account.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
For the changes. I did one thing, and well water
got in my house. I to do another, move it
over there temporarily, and then I planted oak trees.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
Well, it could be perfect over there.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
Then the oak trees died in the freeze. So those
remove and the tree is there and doing very well.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
Actually, well you must be doing pretty well. You didn't
want to go anywhere going, dude, I'm putting down my roots.
I'm staying here.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
So anyway, they get the blood good, that's one most
people want. Just got the red red leaves on it. Yeah,
it grows about twenty by twenty feet. Oh so it
gets to be big. Oo, So you plan it away
from the house.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
Do not plant that thing right up by the side
of the house.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
I see so many of them that are growing up
and around the eave of the house and go back,
continue back up. If you want a smaller tree there,
there's an acer palmatum dissect them, which is a smaller
one good and you only get about so tall it
does six feet taller, and it'll do a lot better
as a ornamental tree in the landscape if you really
(40:26):
want to do that. It needs to be ten feet
away from the house. Now, when your planet, it's going
to look like initially it's gonna look like, well, the
trees out in the middle of the front yard. It's
making any sense, Yeah, But before you know it, though,
it'll be something under which you can walk and really
enjoy it and create a nice space between. It was
(40:47):
a couple of years ago, so so keep in mind
how big these trees are going to do. There's some
smaller ones too. We have them once to get like
so taller. I don't remember the name of them, but
they're really smaller growing trees too. But anyway, so the
Japanese maple is uh. It's grown for its red to
purple foliage and it's growth habit. It's not a straight
growing tree. Yeah, people coming to I want one with
(41:10):
a straight trunk. Well, they don't come that way.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
They have a character. No, they don't grow straight.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
So you want to pick one out that's crooked. And actually,
from my standpoint, from a static standpoint, the one that's
the most crooked is going to the best is going
to be the best looking one.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Well, you've got one that you can say that that's
so because that you had fun with that one. It
was growing, didn't you.
Speaker 3 (41:37):
Yeah, it's dode fine. It's been in there for twenty
forty years. Yeah, it's been there quite some time. So
they prefer well drained soil and plenty of more. So
what this is is in an area where it's built up. Actually,
there's all the turd. I had to move away from
the house. I put it over there and make kind
of a little bit of a hill in the landscape
(41:57):
and then it's up on there and it's it's really
enjoying bird.
Speaker 1 (42:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (42:02):
So anyway, even in the full sun, it's doing quite well.
It does grow best in moist, well drained, fertile soil,
so it's a wonder it'll do well here at all.
We don't have any of.
Speaker 1 (42:15):
That, No, none of that business.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
You want to fertilize in the early spring, we'll say
sixteen eighty eight, to use some moorganize or something. And
when you do that, keep in mind it is a
maple tree and they're kind of shallow rooted and it's
very easy to burn the roots with too much fertilizer.
So a little bit at a time, a little bit at.
Speaker 1 (42:33):
A time, give it some snacks.
Speaker 3 (42:35):
I don't really want to culture shock this plant because
it can cause some collapse as stem and stuff like
that if you change it too drastically. So a mid
organite works very well, or organic type fertilizer works fine,
but don't overdo it. Don't try to fertilize all that
at once. A little bit at a time, turn on
the sprinkers, get out your phone, turn your shrinkers on,
(43:00):
pay attention, and then later on watered again. So but
just a light fertilization really okay. It does happen tendency
to leave out really early, which kind of unfortunately makes
them susceptible to spring crosts. They just can't wait to
leave out. They're one of the first ones to come out,
and a lot of times we'll have a frost or
(43:22):
something and it'll it'll damage to leave somewhat and cause
some appearance problems throughout the throughout the summer. So typically
that happens when it gets a lot of same morning
sun or something. This year though, they came out early,
but we didn't really have any super cold and the
Japanese mample it's really putting on a really big, really
big shoe right now. So anyway, so they're really really
(43:45):
attractive once you get established, are very easy to grow.
The one thing you have to watch out for they
do get bagworms. It's kind of hard to see, but
they will get them. It's not that serious on them,
but you get a few up here and there. But
the biggest problem we have is Japanese maples or bores,
the boring insects. They go underneath the bark and they
(44:07):
attack the floam layer. The flow layer is a little
thin layer just outside the xylum or the wood and
just inside the bark where the carbohydrates from the leaves,
leaves manufactured carbohydrates, and they go down through that and
it's store it in the roots.
Speaker 1 (44:24):
And they like those boards.
Speaker 3 (44:26):
Loved all that sugary stuff coming down to those veins.
So you want so, there are some ways to control that.
They systemic insecticides, admit Cloper. It works very well to
control them. It's a simple thing to do and keep
them from getting those bores. Typically the boars go in
the tree on the southwest side of the tree. If
(44:49):
it does get some sunshine. That's where they prevail for
the most part. If it is in the shade, it'll
get it at any position, but typically if one just
gets the sun it will the bores will go in
that area.
Speaker 1 (45:01):
First.
Speaker 3 (45:02):
I mentioned this several times, and I ran into that
this last week. Somebody's having trouble with the tree and
I looked at the southwest side. Of course, they're all
the barbars torn off of It's easy diagnosed. Yes, So
you prune the Japanese maples in late fall or winter
while they're dormant, removing any dead or damage branches. They
adapt well to pruning and are easily thinned and sculpted
(45:24):
to accentuate their graceful shape. Japanese maples can be easily transplanted,
even larger one. I've moved these in July before. I
bet you have, so they and it survived. It always
sat there and cried whined a little bit for a while,
but it took root, it took root again, and it
did just fine. So they're fairly easy to move around.
(45:47):
So Japanese maple a heavy consideration in the landscape. Make
sure it's well drained, make sure it's eight to ten
feet away from the house, you know, and make sure
it doesn't get a lot of really hot sun.
Speaker 1 (45:58):
Are these expensive trees? Mid range? What are they? Oh?
Speaker 3 (46:02):
They started about one hundred dollars and we got some
I think first six.
Speaker 1 (46:05):
That's pretty usual on the pocketbook for a nice treat
that's gonna last long.
Speaker 3 (46:09):
They taking you up to three hundred dollars, depending on
how big one you want to get.
Speaker 1 (46:13):
Yeah, just kind of you know, Yeah, I want to
get folks a little range. So cool, all right, tell
you what, we got to take a break care. This
is a big one. We'll be back in three minutes,
in thirty seconds.

Jane Phillips, and bartlesvill Oh.
Speaker 17 (47:01):
From the time Frank Phillips completed his magnificent Lodge home
at Woolla Rock in nineteen twenty five until Jane's death
in nineteen forty eight, they entertained the rich and the
famous from all over the world. Their guests included wealthy
business legends such as John D. Rockefeller and Henry Sinclair,
politicians such as President Harry Truman and President Herbert Hoover,
(47:23):
entertainers Rudy Valley, Will Rogers and Rubinoff, famous authors such
as Edna Ferber, Pilot Wiley Post, Elliott Roosevelt, son of
President Roosevelt. The list goes on and on. As we
look back on the parties and the stories and the
deals that were being done at the lodge, we realized
that it truly was the Great Gatsby of the Midwest.
(47:47):
To most of Frank's guests who were visiting from the
East or West coast, and many times from Europe. They
were truly seeing a glimpse of the wild West that
they had heard so much about, while in fact that
era was long over by then. Frank Phillips loved the
history and wanted to do everything he could to make
sure that his guests received there's money's worth during their
(48:08):
visit to his lodge and to Wollarock. With that in mind,
it was not unusual for a car load of his
guests to arrive at the gates of Woolarock and their
large black sedans and be stopped by masked bandits on horseback,
taken from their cars and robbed of their wallets, jewelry,
and purses, and then sent on their.
Speaker 3 (48:26):
Way by the thieves.
Speaker 17 (48:27):
What those guests didn't realize is that these were employees
of Franks, who hurried back to the lodge on horseback,
arriving well ahead of the cars. When the guests arrived
at the lodge and burst into the house telling their
wild and terrifying story to Frank, he would smile and
point to the table in the living room where the
stolen loot was on display, compliments of Uncle Frank. Once
(48:50):
their blood pressure had returned to normal, they too enjoyed
Frank's welcome to the Ranch joke. They came to see
the wild West, and Frank Phillips obliged in true Oklahoma fashion,
and they left Woollarock with stories that likely got bigger
and bigger and bigger over the years. That same magic
continues still today at this national treasure. Welcome home to Wallarock.

(50:29):
Come by and check out that. We all have all
kinds of flowers and trees and shrubs and things for
you to look at and to purchase.
Speaker 1 (50:35):
And you remember where.
Speaker 3 (50:36):
We are, of course, on the south side of No
Water Road, halfway between Madison Boulevard and Washington Boulevard, on
the south side.
Speaker 1 (50:44):
Of the road.
Speaker 3 (50:46):
Easy to find, folks, Yeah, easy to find. So come
on check it out. We had all kinds of cool plants,
big old pots, big old rocks, so we delivered a
big old rock yesterday. Let's keep your shovel sharp, Tom,
We will see you next week. Residential and commercial plumbing
call Mason's Plumbing.
Speaker 2 (51:03):
We're serving you with their priority.
Speaker 1 (51:05):
KWN Bartlesville, K two twenty seven c Q Bartlesville K
two thirty six c T Pahusca
Hey, good morning, good morning, good morning. Welcome, welcome, welcome,
and it's time for the Green Country Gardner program now
once again. That telephone line is open at one eight
hundred and seven four nine five nine three six. Good
morning to you all. I know that some of you
have woken up to no power and they're working on it.
In fact, we do have some reports of some down
(00:31):
power lines here in the Bartlesville, Oklahoma area. We have
a silver lake closed at Rice Creek to Georgetown. At Georgetown,
I should say, because there is a power line down
in the road at Georgetown. Seventy five mile per hour
winds raced through parts of Kansas and Oklahoma this morning,
and that was just a good morning, nurse. It was
(00:54):
looking like a hurricane blowing that wind around. It was crazy,
some mad Hey, that's quite a eighty is a hurricane.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
I don't even think my old truck would go that fast.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
I think of the tail wind and with the miley
you maybe so third class boy? In goodness sake, how
is it to around your ranch?
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Well, at my house, I just had a broken tree
branch and I'll address that, uh some point in time.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Right now, that's very.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
So yeah, so I'll address that when I get home today.
We have a good day at the nursery today, hope, Oh, yes,
you do.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
You got it? You know, a rainy day in the garden,
big day at the.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Greenhow hopefully I haven't been to the nursery. I hope
hopefully there's a roof still on the greenou Gary, I'll
let you know. Well, the phone hasn't run yet, so
he's good. But I did one of my guys go
check it out and they we canceled the tree planning
this morning for obvious reasons.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
But you might find another tree somewhere else.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Yeah, so it's schedule for next Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
So it just kind of moved. But that's that's going
on there at the Greenhoun.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Hey. At the nursery today, we have a big day
with the A s p c. A. Yeah, they're they're
bringing some puppies out to be adopted and just just
to kind of cuddle and whatever.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
And we have.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Some plants on sale here and there too, yeah, just
a few. Yeah, And there's a food trug going to
be out there a few hundred calories with a few
good stuff to eat. Oh yeah, and if you decide
to adopt a pet. The nursery has covered the expense
for the the adoption fee.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Wow, we so that that's very generous of you.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Sure, well, it's up we would like to do to
promote animal whatever, well.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Dogs the dog woods, we got it here. Oh that's great. Yeah,
I understand. You can have somebody playing a little music
out there.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Yeah, there's a one of our employees has a daughter
who likes to play country music. Were playing that too,
that would be kind of fun it between rainstorms. Well,
the greenhouse is hopefully is dry on the inside.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
So yeah, well you've got people checking that out. Yeah good.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
I remember one time it was in January. It was
cold and it got really really windy, and it blew
the greenhouse top off. It's a new one we put in,
and uh, somebody purchased it wasn't made for somebody purchased
the wrong gage of the polythylene and it wasn't held
down very well. And we were up there in the
(03:34):
wind trying to put that down, and I said, no, no, no,
we got to stop this. We moved air all the
inventory in the greenhouse back to other greenhouses which was
unaffected sure, and was able to make all the stuffs
survive and it was frozen and cold and.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Rescue mission in the middle.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Yeah, it looked it looked really bleaking there at that time.
That's a long time ago to so anyway, so hopefully
there's everything's okay out there. So we had a lot
of plants that are sideways. I'm sure, I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
And if you're worrying about pruning your fruit trees, mother
nature might have done a little something for you.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
I have a lot of plums from a plum tree
out of the yard right now.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Oh boy, I'm sorry. This is going to be a
vintage here. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Last year was I put on the jar just twenty
four Oh but anyway, one of the plum trees is
onnest way out. I'm gonna have to dig it up
and plant a new one. I guess they just don't
last forever. It's been there about eighteen years, so it's
about time to replace it.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
So anyway, that's what's going on at the nursery. So
come on out and check it out. Then I have
a good time and pet the animals and perhaps pick
up some flowers if they're not over in Ramona. Oh okay,
And the fruit trees right now. You want to avoid
systemics at this time. The kneem oil, it's really good
(04:54):
for insects and funcus. Look for borer activity also, and
scrape away the frash and dried sap. That way you
can tell. You can apply spiners ad to the trunks.
So there's a lot of things you can do with
the fruit trees. The fruit is on the tree is
getting ready to go. I know, I picked a few
cherries the other day. They were delicious. So it's kind
(05:16):
of a quiet time as far as sprague is concerned.
But I kind of like to use the spinazad and
the knem oil and stuff on the tree, and it
seems to be very effective in controlling insects. Okay, And
so yeah, you do want to avoid the systemics once
again at the vegetable garden this week. Keep the soil
loosened in light of the rain. It does have a
(05:38):
tendency to compact the soil again.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
It does, so get out there and move that dirt.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
It's time of course, the plant warm season seeds and
consider rotating what you planted last year. Gypsum prepared the
soil and we talked about this in January. Gyp and
if you forgot to do it, well, it's probably not
too late, but anyway, it's better. It works a lot
if it's in the ground a little bit rather than
trying to make it do instantly. It doesn't.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
It doesn't happen that way.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Okay, where was a oh yeah, a special guard this week? Yes,
magnesium sulfate. You might put a little bit of that
around your tomatoes. That tend to like it real well.
Potatoes should be about twelve to eighteen inches tall, almost
time to dig them up. I like to use a
fertilizer with the trace elements in it. They don't use
the big old bag of stuff without knowing what's in it.
(06:32):
Look at the back of the bag and you should
have all these little symbols in the mg F E
and some one iron and all that. You want those
trace elements in there to help the plant out too, Okay,
got it, So keep the soil loosen a little bit.
And we do have a fertilizer for tomatoes and has
a lot of those tracers in it too, so it
(06:53):
makes a lot healthier tomato and a lot better tasting
tomato plant too. On the lawn this week, it's time
of fertilizer per mute and zoida. I like to add
iron cell fate and you see that in a lot
of fertilizers. They do put some iron and stuff in
it and it does help darken the color and those
trace elements are good for the plants too. Craggrass is
(07:15):
up and coming, and something called queenchlorac or furlan weed
out with crabgrass killer to control before they get too mature.
If the crabgrass gets too well established, you can't control it.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
It just it owns you.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
It just kind of laughs at you when you did that.
And I saw some crabgrass coming up, and I use
some of that stuff on it and it's gone. And
it selectively removes annual grasses without killing the bermuda grass.
I think I'll over applied it a little bit, but
if the bermutgrass is starting to recover. So I don't
have a sprinkler system in my house, but I do
(07:54):
have six inches of soil. So it makes it difficult
to grow a really nice My neighbor a cross the street,
he knows nothing about horticulture. He has the most beautiful
on but that.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
The way it goes. But he has dirt got good dirt.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Yeah, he has an irrigation system and we had to
do some repairs on it. You dig all the way
down to infinity and not hit any rock, so that
makes a big difference. So if you're in the market
to build a house and you do it in an
area that is rocky, you might consider before you really
get started on the landscape part of it, digging all
that rock out, maybe bringing in some soil or something,
(08:33):
just so you can have some nice stuff. I know
that firsthand. Okay, So crabgrass once it's up. There are
some posts emergent controls, MSMA works pretty well, and Queen
Clarac and all that other stuff, but I don't like.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
To use a lot of those.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
I do tolerate a few weeds, a little bit of
crabgrass here in there. You know the big I don't
you know. I come home and look at it and
go in the house and cook.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
You know, there you go really as you take a
click and there.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Yeah, one day a week to maintain the garden. So
crape myrtles right now. They're really growing grow rapidly right
now at this point, so there'll be differentiating pretty soon.
Differentiating means of the tip of the of the stem.
As they grow, the leaves will look a little different.
That means the length of day is shortening a little
(09:25):
bit and they and they'll start to produce blooms. There
are some we have some early blooming varieties in bloom
right now at the nursery, so they can give you
a little bit more time to have cr Yeah, and
also look for crape myrtle scale. It's very very prevalent,
(09:45):
and it's easy to see because the stems typically the
stems on the on the crape myrtles somewhat tan colored,
but if they're if they're exhibiting somewhat of a blackness,
almost looks like it's spin on fire. That's the sign
that you have scale. And the mold, which is the
black stuff, is a mold actually in it and it
forms from the sugars that the the the scale insects exude.
(10:15):
It's an interesting symbiosis between uh scale insects and ants.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
So anyway, so look at your craig myrtle. Work carefully.
If it just doesn't look healthy, look at the stem
real carefully, and look for tiny little eggs stuck to
the stem and those are the well they look like eggs,
but those are the scale insects. And also on oak
trees too, almost every oak tree. I go to everybody's house.
So look, you got you have scale on your oak tree,
(10:40):
and uh, they're real getting It's getting real bad on
oak trees as well. So look at your oak tree
up there, and if you see these little bumps on it,
and it's very prevalental and say pinoaks and northern red
oaks and whatnot, it basically all oaks that you got
a problem with the scale and it drains the plant
(11:02):
of it of its health and makes it weak, falls
over in the storms.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
A lot of that going on exactly, So look out
for that too.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Is that with Craig Murlins on the shrubs, go ahead
and continue to fertilize your shrubs. Look at your holly plants.
Look at the size of the leaf that they're getting
a little smaller than they used to be. That's a
sign that the soil pH is too high. So once
once again iron sulfate will help darkened color and alleviate
(11:34):
that smallness of leaves. And also they get susceptible to
a fungus disease. Uh, and they get black spots and
yellow leaves, so.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
I gotta keep an eye out.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
This is Oklahoma. We have sedimentary soil and the phdins
are in a little high little jes yeah, little yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
All right, tell you what, Let's take a quick break.
We'll be right back after this two minute time out.
Speaker 4 (11:59):

Are you putting your family's financial future at risk by
not having enough life insurance? David Woods, president of the
Life Foundation.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
The consequences can be devastating if you don't have life insurance.
Life insurance isn't a luxury, It's a necessity for sound
financial planning.
Speaker 9 (13:55):
A message from the nonprofit Life Foundation.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Welcome back to the Green Country Gardener Program. It's eight
twenty three sixty three degrees. It's hoping your power has
returned to those who are affected by the storms. Early
early this morning. Our toll free number is wide open
one eight hundred seven three six. I know a lot
of people want to we're thinking about trying to get
out and about. We got to go pick up a
(14:25):
satellite dish in our parking lot here in a little bit.
Uh yeah, you kind of went in here. Oh my yeah?
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Is that that big? When that that front?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
The one little smaller one but smaller. The wind got
it and you might have some down trees or limbs
in your area. I believe there's.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
More precipitation on the way. Isn't there all.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
The way up until Monday night break? Your flood watch
fourty six inches possible throughout this period.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
We registered a half inch in our rank age. You did, okay,
just in that short period of time.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
How'd you ring gage get? It is going sideways?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I have it on the patio.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
I have it.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
There's a big rock, and I have some angle irons
anchored to that big rock, and then a two by
four coming up holding this ring gage.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
You don't believe in you sturdiness at all.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
Not at all.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
It's kind of overdone. But but it's still there.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
It's there, and it's accurate.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
It does exactly so so you have to kind of
plan for these. My god golly so trees. Also trying
to trend back the dog woods if you need to.
Right now it's time for fertilizing trees, maybe the last
pertilization for the year. Uh, good time to plant new ones.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Especially if you lost some old ones over the.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Ground.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
So what we just throw it off the back of
the truck and it just dumped into the clay. You know,
the look good. Also when picking out a tree, I
say this over and over again, noted utilities and drainage
patterns too. Don't don't planet tree in a drainage pattern
because the root masks will swell the soil up and
then you'll have to open the front and the back
(16:10):
door of the garage in order to get the rain
out of your backyard.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
So I actually have seen people where they have to
do that.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I bet you have.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Yeah, I have actually, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
People, little space, little space.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Don't planet tree in the in the in the flood,
it'd be a good time to see how your water
drains in the yards, you know where not the plant tree.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Just a little observation of way.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
So anyway, so we have some pretty good trees to
plant right now. I hope I've been to the nursery
this morning. They might they might be in the turley
or maybe ocean aid perhaps I don't know, but anyway,
there we'll find out prey soon. But anyway, just time
(17:01):
to apply systemics for lacebugs on your azalias. Lacebugs are
a real problem with azelias. Look under the leaf and
if you see these little brown spots under there, chances
are those or lace lace wings.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
How do we get how do we get rid of they?
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Systemic can suck Society will do that. The medicalopri will
work on that too, so we'll be pretty good for that.
Spider mite, sir, will become a problem pretty soon. They
do like the hot weather. Get in your box woods
and your boxwoods too. And I was meeting with a
customer yesterday. She said, oh, I don't like the old smell.
And I said, well, I don't have a problem in
my house because I use soapy water on them and
(17:35):
spray them down with that and let it sit for
an hour and then rense it off and they do.
Fun don't have a problem with them, so oh okay. Well,
we do have other plants besides boxwoods that kind of
do the same thing. They don't have that problem. So
if you do want a boxwood, I like to plant
them on the east side of the house made the
north side. I have someone on the west side of
(17:56):
my house. But also have a was in spray with
some dish. Open it anyway. But if you do that,
make sure I've run. I did this one time with
my gorge. I had aphins on them and I forgot
to rinse it off and all the leaves and it
went to shrivel up. But they still has some big gourds.
(18:20):
I grew some last year.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
There's there's a big, big industrial drum size.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
I know, it's as big as as somebody's Torso these
huge gorge only I only got about four of them.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
You're hold your arms. That's bigger than me, you know,
and I'm kind of sizeable.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Well yeah, well yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Somebody once told me I was buoyant and said.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Alicia float I always had the sinking problem when I'm
in the water to the ground. Anyway, I have those,
and I grew last year some different gords too. They're
really cool. I used them to spread bird seed around
the patio. Cut them in half, and I might bring
somebody the nursing lits people take them if they want.
(19:05):
I don't know, so anyway, landscaping, get a landscape plan.
I've got several of them on the on the deal.
You've seen some I've showed them to you. And if
there's something you like somebody's landscape, just tell me where
it is and I can identify the plants easily, and
perhaps we can utilize some of those plants on your
(19:25):
landscape plan. I met with a customer yesterday and showed her.
She was really kind of surprised because, oh, that's my house.
Well you know, well, yeah, that's.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
What we're working on, is landscaping.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
For your your house. Yeah. And actually a customer brought
in an AI program. Yeah, they got when you get
your phone, take a picture of what you want landscape,
and it comes back. It takes into account your longitude
and latitude and all that. And I said, well, some
of these won't work, some of them will. You know,
(20:00):
it's not not quite there yet.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
No, No, they're still teaching AI. That's still very artificial.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Yes, so you want an artificial landscape, I need to
download that app and try it out, just see what
see what it does.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Be kind of fun. Let the doctor see what it does.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
So so anyway, and of course I use a CAD
program and it's kind of easy to change. And sometimes
somebody might want something different. I shipped out something yesterday,
all these pictures with different schemes. It's different appearances because
the house is styled kind of contemporary, if you will,
(20:41):
and it's very square and someone almost oriental like. So
I gave him several choices of appearance in the landscape.
Do you want a curbed beds? You want square beds?
What when they designed the house or when they bought
the design of the house, what were they looking for? Uh,
(21:02):
as far as structure, the house is concerned. And do
we need to continue that theme outwards on the landscape
or do we want to disguise it or we want
to compliment the whole idea of a landscape. It's it's
a compliment the landscape to the house too. So we
gave them some choices in they're moulling it over right now.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
That's got to be kind of fun. I mean, I mean,
you've been at it for more than a minute. Yeah,
you know what works. You know it doesn't work, sure,
but by God, like you know, every house is different, right,
so it's not going to be a cookie cutter. Every
every one of these projects is going to be tanner made.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
For this one faces west and it's in an area
where there's a lot of rock, so an irrigation system
is probably in the work too. But still, you gotta
you gotta consider all that stuff on the west side
of it's kind of hot. Here we go again. Anyway,
(21:58):
it's not gonna do that look too bad.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
We were taking a look, we were taking a look
at a radar suite. No, here we go.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
It's all I know is arc, you know. So anyway,
you take all that into account when you did soil
type and exposure architecture of the house too. If it
has a very and one I did had a kind
of a nondescript you know, there was really was no style.
So I did the landscape in a configuration that actually
(22:25):
created a sense of style on a very bland house.
So we'll see how that goes. Very good, But this
other house is very stylized, but the landscape needs to
complement it or follow through with it. You know what
I mean, because you don't really have to emphasize the house.
So all these factors you've got to do in and
(22:46):
I don't think AI will do that. So, uh, well,
that comes to irrigation systems and you want to make
sure that they're engineered properly. You want to inventory the
available water pressure, et cetera. So we runt that problem
out east of town on one and with fifty pounds
of water pressure and then then it registered forty pounds
(23:10):
and hey, and then so we're going to the customers.
It's going to put a booster pump in so we
can at least get the thing to cover. So there's
the water pressure. Apparently it's not available in that area.
So that's the remedy. I mean, I recalibrated the whole
thing and it works pretty good. But there's sometimes when
(23:32):
there just simply isn't enough pressure.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Enough pressure.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Now you're pulling about eight gallons a minute and you
still don't get any performance.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Wow, Wow, that's stressed.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
And it turns on the faucet in the house and well,
whenever you can get round and round to it, can
you come on out of there. So that's a little
bit of a problem. So we're working on that and
resolving at that. And we have an internet based timer.
It's his telephone perfect with it, and he wanted me
to go in with it on it so I could
(24:04):
control the two would not work. I really think it's
settings for his home internet. Really won't let me get
through to it.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Oh a little firewall.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
I think it's just a firewall thing.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
But anyway, so he's getting very astute at running the system,
and uh, there you can run it manually as well.
It's just you do a lot of running around trying.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
To shoven Martha, try to to that, got me right?
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Ye? But I did give him a zone map. Good
that the areas correspond with the numbers on the timer.
So okay, yeah that ares water. I look on the map. Okay,
you get on the phone through it, there it goes.
So that's pretty cool. So anyway, if you do get
a sprinter system done, no matter who does it, you
want to make sure you get his zone map.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
You need that.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
It saves a lot of steps cause you say, well,
my backyard's a little bit dry. Well is it one?
Two or three or six?
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Got me? I remember which.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
One it is? And you can do that yourself.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
You can take your process of elimination.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
You can take your sprinkler system and turn on station
number one to get a make a drawing of the yard,
pencil in area where number one is and put it
up by the timer. So easy that way, maybel it's
the backyard. I don't remember what number that one is,
you know that kind of a thing.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
No, but we got the mailman coming up the lane.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Get them.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Let's take a break.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
It helps to knowwhere where they are, especially if you've
got twelve circuits. That makes it easier.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Oh my gosh. All right, well, it's a time now
to take a little bit of a break and we
will be right back after these words.
Speaker 4 (25:47):

Speaker 10 (26:45):
I was under me, have did some stupid things, how
committed some crimes, even got shot.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
But I'm not a criminal, that's right.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
I'm Jamal.
Speaker 11 (26:54):
I'll work for you to advocate programs. Yet I was
Tomani's advocate, help him stay out of jail, stay in
the neighborhoo to get a job, and work hard to
see a better future for himself. If you have a
change of mindset, you can have a change of action.
Speaker 8 (27:06):
As a little kid, I experienced trauma and I acted out,
made some mistakes, But I'm not a mistake.
Speaker 9 (27:12):
No, She's a good student and a great kid.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
As Jalens yeah advocate.
Speaker 12 (27:17):
I'm always here for her. With the Youth Advocate programs
I was able to connect with Jalen. YEP is a
community based alternative to youth incarceration, congregate placement, and neighborhood violence.
After completing our program, eighty six percent of participants where
arrest free.
Speaker 10 (27:33):
YAP works and now I mean YEP advocate helping kids
like me find it.
Speaker 12 (27:37):
By the way youth advocate programs, others talk social change,
we make it happen.
Speaker 9 (27:42):
Learn how at yapinc Dot org.
Speaker 13 (28:00):
Been out the parent.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
All right, and welcome back to the Green Country Gardener program.
It is eight thirty six and sixty four degrees. I'm
starting to see a little lightness in the sky instead
of lightning.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Now I think we're going to have a brief party
of here of the oh yeah, the era of the irrigation.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Yeah, of the right. Yeah, So the kids can go
to the carnival, do your graduation stuff, and then let
the rain afterwards. Here our phone line is open and
you can call us up in one eight hundred seven
three six.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Yes, and once again back to sprinter systems. Yes, they
need They can be very efficient, but they can be
very inefficient too.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Yeah, like if they're running willet wall is raining.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Yeah, but rain gages help. They have these our rain
sensors that are wireless. We put them in all of
ours or wireless rain sensor and some of the newer
timers also account for the weather. So I have one
of those in my garage. And when you drive in
there's this light on the blinks and it's green, it
(29:04):
turns yellow or then like this morning, it was redt.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
You're so.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
So they're called the smart smart timers, and it's still
a good idea to go ahead and put a rain
sensor in along with them. And they do have ports
for those in their circuitry to account for a rain
sensor too, and a temperature sensor as well. But they're
getting they're any kind of smart with these things. It
can adjust the amount of water it gets based on
(29:36):
the irrigation and your soil type. You have to enter
all this data in the soil type.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Are you growing grass, a, you're growing shrubs? What kind
of a slope do you have? And all this other stuff.
Does he get a lot of sun? Or what's the
drainage like? And then once you get all that criteria
in there, it has ai.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Put it into the old computer to see what.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
Had that will turnout? And then it takes data from
the data.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Data is on Star Trek.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
From the from the Weather Service and plugs that into
the too that and it since there and thinks a
minute and says, well, you're not going to get water today.
It also really I might at home. I got a
demo from the supplier. It it this windy, so we're
not going to water.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Oh yeah, well you just just go all over the
place where you.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Want water the neighbors yards send them a bill. Sure,
so yeah, it accounts for that as well. So they're
getting smart with these things. And you really have to
because golly, look what happened a year before last with
the reservoir. Yeah, you really got to be smart with
this stuff. And I still see even this morning people
out water in the yards in the rain, and you know,
(30:53):
come on. And actually, the the smart timers again less
expensive too. They're becoming more prevalent and more of a
almost a standard.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Then.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
I don't know if if any place is made a
cold requirement or not, but it read of death.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
I'll ever do that.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
But at least a rain sensor to shut the thing
off when it when it does rain. We'll save you
some money and save us some water too, Kelly. When
he gets a really really dry in the summer, we're
going to need you know that water too, So let's
try not to use it all up on grass that's
already wet.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Also, another thing to consider is lighting on the outside,
and I like to use LED lights. Halogen lights are
kind of kind of pass a. I don't know if
you'd buy out or lighting with LED.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
You remember when halogen was like the big thing.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Yeah, wow, this world's white hot light in there. So
they're available in the copper brows. So then when I'm
stayingless steel and so on, and really I like to
use the either or one that has all the same
metal on it. The reason for that is galvanic corrosion.
So you don't and that's a real thing, folks. Yeah,
(32:11):
if you have an aluminum one with a brass screw
or a yeah, it'll just corrode. Don't don't. Don't fall
for an aluminum lightning picture. It's stainless steel or brass
aluminum just that or somebody somebody even iron heel steel
(32:31):
over the last few years and I've tried them all,
so now we get the we use old brass ones.
These things are heavy, I mean the way well they're brass, yeah,
and heavy too their machine Actually there's no problems. They
just they're not going to go anywhere and that and
they're assembled with they kind of pop together if you
(32:55):
will with an over ring, so there's no screws holding
it together, so you don't have that. And when you
come on the outside, it's the metal attachment on it
and it has a plastic thing with a stainless screw
in it, so there's no way to rush. Yeah, I
won't rust so and they just last forever. They cost more.
They're like sixty dollars apiece.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Well yeah, but you take a look at all the
time you're replacing the you.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
Buy a cheap one for thirty dollars, now you know,
and then it goes coup put. Five years later you
buy another one that's forty dollars, and then see you
buy the same thing and then four years later it's
sixty dollars. So you spent one hundred and twenty dollars
on something which you initially would have only spent, you know, sixty.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Dollars forty dollars for take the long range play exactly.
I think long You said it, and I get it.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Yeah. Also, when you're doing a lighting you say, well,
i've got ten light pictures, there are four wats apiece.
I need a forty watt timer. No, you need an
you need to double the average.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Because you go in places.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Well you could add onto it also and it doesn't
have to work as hard and then lasts longer. Yeah,
and don't don't put them out in the rain, and
try not to put them inside the garage because it
can overheat. If it shorts out, it can cause some problems.
Yeah fire, yeah, so yeah. Really in my house, I
have about two hundred watch of lights. I have a
(34:27):
six hundred WAT transformer and it just runs as cool
as a cucumber. It does never And we did that
on a landscape plan. We have all these lights on
there and we over overkilled the transformer. No problems. So
you have to take take a ivice from an electrician.
(34:49):
You always want to overdesign it.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
A little bit, just a little bit for your own protect.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
It's the same thing with sprinker systems. If you're pulling,
you know, fifteen gallons a minute, you need a one
inch pipe at least. So that's kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Got to do the math, do the math right.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
How to save water in the landscape, Well, we talked
about the microsystem. That's the one way. Not but a
good deep soil preparation. When we do our landscapes, we
go down fairly deep in the soil and get it
all turned up and put some composts in it. And
what that does is it helps loose the soil so
the water winter does come in goes down in through
it easily. Our soil here is naturally just kind of
(35:27):
heavy and when it rains, it kind of runs off.
If you have a bed or something that will actually
absorb the water, then it can store it deep in
the lower clay layers and make it come up.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Gotcha.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
So it's a flywheel of that kind of thing. If
you have a heavy soils, it doesn't get in very deep.
It all runs off and you have less less of
a battery of water in there. So you do want to.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Do maximize your potential.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
You do want to do and it's some backwork. Been
doing backwork for forty years. Hasn't hurt me.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
At all, No, it has and say that pinacle of fitness,
thank you.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
So'll you want to make sure to get some good
deep soil prep so it will act as a battery
to hold water. And to do that you add organic
materials such as pete moser compost which also helps store
water too, and it's good aeration for the plants too
to do better.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be back
after this two minute timeout.
Speaker 8 (36:33):

Speaker 3 (39:07):
Let's talk a little bit about Japanese maple.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
Let's do that. We haven't done that all day.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
The Japanese maple is a really treasure and it can
be a real treasure in the landscape. I have one
in my backyard. I had to relocate it like four
different times.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
You pickies side of a gun art well to account.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
For the changes. I did one thing, and well water
got in my house. I to do another, move it
over there temporarily, and then I planted oak trees.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
Well, it could be perfect over there.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
Then the oak trees died in the freeze. So those
remove and the tree is there and doing very well.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
Actually, well you must be doing pretty well. You didn't
want to go anywhere going, dude, I'm putting down my roots.
I'm staying here.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
So anyway, they get the blood good, that's one most
people want. Just got the red red leaves on it. Yeah,
it grows about twenty by twenty feet. Oh so it
gets to be big. Oo, So you plan it away
from the house.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
Do not plant that thing right up by the side
of the house.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
I see so many of them that are growing up
and around the eave of the house and go back,
continue back up. If you want a smaller tree there,
there's an acer palmatum dissect them, which is a smaller
one good and you only get about so tall it
does six feet taller, and it'll do a lot better
as a ornamental tree in the landscape if you really
(40:26):
want to do that. It needs to be ten feet
away from the house. Now, when your planet, it's going
to look like initially it's gonna look like, well, the
trees out in the middle of the front yard. It's
making any sense, Yeah, But before you know it, though,
it'll be something under which you can walk and really
enjoy it and create a nice space between. It was
(40:47):
a couple of years ago, so so keep in mind
how big these trees are going to do. There's some
smaller ones too. We have them once to get like
so taller. I don't remember the name of them, but
they're really smaller growing trees too. But anyway, so the
Japanese maple is uh. It's grown for its red to
purple foliage and it's growth habit. It's not a straight
growing tree. Yeah, people coming to I want one with
(41:10):
a straight trunk. Well, they don't come that way.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
They have a character. No, they don't grow straight.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
So you want to pick one out that's crooked. And actually,
from my standpoint, from a static standpoint, the one that's
the most crooked is going to the best is going
to be the best looking one.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Well, you've got one that you can say that that's
so because that you had fun with that one. It
was growing, didn't you.
Speaker 3 (41:37):
Yeah, it's dode fine. It's been in there for twenty
forty years. Yeah, it's been there quite some time. So
they prefer well drained soil and plenty of more. So
what this is is in an area where it's built up. Actually,
there's all the turd. I had to move away from
the house. I put it over there and make kind
of a little bit of a hill in the landscape
(41:57):
and then it's up on there and it's it's really
enjoying bird.
Speaker 1 (42:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (42:02):
So anyway, even in the full sun, it's doing quite well.
It does grow best in moist, well drained, fertile soil,
so it's a wonder it'll do well here at all.
We don't have any of.
Speaker 1 (42:15):
That, No, none of that business.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
You want to fertilize in the early spring, we'll say
sixteen eighty eight, to use some moorganize or something. And
when you do that, keep in mind it is a
maple tree and they're kind of shallow rooted and it's
very easy to burn the roots with too much fertilizer.
So a little bit at a time, a little bit at.
Speaker 1 (42:33):
A time, give it some snacks.
Speaker 3 (42:35):
I don't really want to culture shock this plant because
it can cause some collapse as stem and stuff like
that if you change it too drastically. So a mid
organite works very well, or organic type fertilizer works fine,
but don't overdo it. Don't try to fertilize all that
at once. A little bit at a time, turn on
the sprinkers, get out your phone, turn your shrinkers on,
(43:00):
pay attention, and then later on watered again. So but
just a light fertilization really okay. It does happen tendency
to leave out really early, which kind of unfortunately makes
them susceptible to spring crosts. They just can't wait to
leave out. They're one of the first ones to come out,
and a lot of times we'll have a frost or
(43:22):
something and it'll it'll damage to leave somewhat and cause
some appearance problems throughout the throughout the summer. So typically
that happens when it gets a lot of same morning
sun or something. This year though, they came out early,
but we didn't really have any super cold and the
Japanese mample it's really putting on a really big, really
big shoe right now. So anyway, so they're really really
(43:45):
attractive once you get established, are very easy to grow.
The one thing you have to watch out for they
do get bagworms. It's kind of hard to see, but
they will get them. It's not that serious on them,
but you get a few up here and there. But
the biggest problem we have is Japanese maples or bores,
the boring insects. They go underneath the bark and they
(44:07):
attack the floam layer. The flow layer is a little
thin layer just outside the xylum or the wood and
just inside the bark where the carbohydrates from the leaves,
leaves manufactured carbohydrates, and they go down through that and
it's store it in the roots.
Speaker 1 (44:24):
And they like those boards.
Speaker 3 (44:26):
Loved all that sugary stuff coming down to those veins.
So you want so, there are some ways to control that.
They systemic insecticides, admit Cloper. It works very well to
control them. It's a simple thing to do and keep
them from getting those bores. Typically the boars go in
the tree on the southwest side of the tree. If
(44:49):
it does get some sunshine. That's where they prevail for
the most part. If it is in the shade, it'll
get it at any position, but typically if one just
gets the sun it will the bores will go in
that area.
Speaker 1 (45:01):
First.
Speaker 3 (45:02):
I mentioned this several times, and I ran into that
this last week. Somebody's having trouble with the tree and
I looked at the southwest side. Of course, they're all
the barbars torn off of It's easy diagnosed. Yes, So
you prune the Japanese maples in late fall or winter
while they're dormant, removing any dead or damage branches. They
adapt well to pruning and are easily thinned and sculpted
(45:24):
to accentuate their graceful shape. Japanese maples can be easily transplanted,
even larger one. I've moved these in July before. I
bet you have, so they and it survived. It always
sat there and cried whined a little bit for a while,
but it took root, it took root again, and it
did just fine. So they're fairly easy to move around.
(45:47):
So Japanese maple a heavy consideration in the landscape. Make
sure it's well drained, make sure it's eight to ten
feet away from the house, you know, and make sure
it doesn't get a lot of really hot sun.
Speaker 1 (45:58):
Are these expensive trees? Mid range? What are they? Oh?
Speaker 3 (46:02):
They started about one hundred dollars and we got some
I think first six.
Speaker 1 (46:05):
That's pretty usual on the pocketbook for a nice treat
that's gonna last long.
Speaker 3 (46:09):
They taking you up to three hundred dollars, depending on
how big one you want to get.
Speaker 1 (46:13):
Yeah, just kind of you know, Yeah, I want to
get folks a little range. So cool, all right, tell
you what, we got to take a break care. This
is a big one. We'll be back in three minutes,
in thirty seconds.

Jane Phillips, and bartlesvill Oh.
Speaker 17 (47:01):
From the time Frank Phillips completed his magnificent Lodge home
at Woolla Rock in nineteen twenty five until Jane's death
in nineteen forty eight, they entertained the rich and the
famous from all over the world. Their guests included wealthy
business legends such as John D. Rockefeller and Henry Sinclair,
politicians such as President Harry Truman and President Herbert Hoover,
(47:23):
entertainers Rudy Valley, Will Rogers and Rubinoff, famous authors such
as Edna Ferber, Pilot Wiley Post, Elliott Roosevelt, son of
President Roosevelt. The list goes on and on. As we
look back on the parties and the stories and the
deals that were being done at the lodge, we realized
that it truly was the Great Gatsby of the Midwest.
(47:47):
To most of Frank's guests who were visiting from the
East or West coast, and many times from Europe. They
were truly seeing a glimpse of the wild West that
they had heard so much about, while in fact that
era was long over by then. Frank Phillips loved the
history and wanted to do everything he could to make
sure that his guests received there's money's worth during their
(48:08):
visit to his lodge and to Wollarock. With that in mind,
it was not unusual for a car load of his
guests to arrive at the gates of Woolarock and their
large black sedans and be stopped by masked bandits on horseback,
taken from their cars and robbed of their wallets, jewelry,
and purses, and then sent on their.
Speaker 3 (48:26):
Way by the thieves.
Speaker 17 (48:27):
What those guests didn't realize is that these were employees
of Franks, who hurried back to the lodge on horseback,
arriving well ahead of the cars. When the guests arrived
at the lodge and burst into the house telling their
wild and terrifying story to Frank, he would smile and
point to the table in the living room where the
stolen loot was on display, compliments of Uncle Frank. Once
(48:50):
their blood pressure had returned to normal, they too enjoyed
Frank's welcome to the Ranch joke. They came to see
the wild West, and Frank Phillips obliged in true Oklahoma fashion,
and they left Woollarock with stories that likely got bigger
and bigger and bigger over the years. That same magic
continues still today at this national treasure. Welcome home to Wallarock.
