Speaker 1 (00:01):
Roman's Outdoor Power Acces, pest Control, Ascension, Saint John, Jane
Phillips had Gateway first back. Good morning, poets, It's time
now for the Green Country Gardener Program with Larry Glass,
(00:23):
our expert. I'm Tom Davis at his ansel's phone, speaking
up phones. Our phone line is open at one eight
hundred and seven three six, Larry. It was a week
ago today we were picking up tree limbs and watching
the professionals pick up down power lines. But my, what
a difference a week makes. Yes, whether it's a little
(00:44):
bit more, uh, you know it's not working.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I saw Noah's art, go Bob Bob bobbling down. Frank
Phillips full of art. Golly, don't you guys look at
next week too? Don't you guys know when to quit
while we're trying making up for lost time?
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Yeah, we got a good if we through tonight will
be okay.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Yeah, tonight. I suppose there's a half a chance of
rain tonight, half a chance. I don't know if it's
going to be rather strong or I don't know how
fast it's moving, what the atmosphere doing right now, they'll
have some burying on the severity of it.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
I'm gonna get a guess it's Oklahoma so chaotic.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
I have to put pontoons on my old truck.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Yeah, that would I would pay to see that.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
That would be Nute James Bond thing boom.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yeah really anyway, Uh, a lot of stuff going on
the garden right now.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Yeah, there's some growth, lots of growth.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
And uh and the weeds sorry to come in now
that's forming up a little bit. I'm seeing a lot
of weed emergence here and there too, so it's time
to do battle with that. Pre emergence work pretty well.
There's all kinds of weed control out there that are
pre emergent which actually prevent the seed from sprotting there.
But I wouldn't use that in the measureable garden really,
(02:01):
it'll keep those seeds from coming up too so anyway,
so watch for that also, multi mulch molt. The rain
is going to quit one of these days, one of
these days, and then there'll be camel's going down frightful. Anyway.
Multing does a whole lot to stabilize the moisture levels
in the soil, and when the rain does shut off,
(02:23):
you'll have at least some way to try to preserve
some of that moisture in the soil at least for
a period of time, if you will. So multing is
always good to do. It helps us stabilize soil temperature,
helps control weeds, and it helps ferment water loss. So
if typically we do have some dry weather in the summer,
and however the trend is quite the contrary, but nonetheless
(02:46):
we do have a pretty good chance of having some hot,
dry weather. So you want to try to preserve that
moisture that's in the ground as much as possible. Yes,
and I think in the long run mult is cheaper
than water in the long run have the water quite
so much and it also looks nice too. So we
do a lot of landscape work and the mult is
(03:08):
the finishing tuxt can really make a break of the
landscape depending on how that surface is done there too,
So multuose tomatoes, watch for mites and bacterial lift spot
at least spot on the tomatoes too. The spider mites
when it gets hot, they're going to be coming in
a full force, so you want to be aware of
that too, and there are some organic type insecticides that
(03:29):
you can use for that too. Spin as out as
one and oh there's some others. Anyway, the the natural
controls work quite well. You could use soapy water on
your tomatoes too if you have a problem with mites. However,
within an hour you do need to do a rinse. Yeah,
(03:49):
because it does its work in a bit of time,
you know, not too much, depending on how soapy the
soapy water is.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
And then but you got to let it breathe.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Yeah, you gotta let the tomatoes breathe, and you don't
want the mites to breathe. So what that does. What
does is it's a surfactant soapy water is and it
encapsulates the insect or coats the insect or might as
it were. Uh, so air can't get through and they drowned.
(04:19):
I guess if you will. So that's kind of physiological
have it works too. The spin is add is a
kind of a neurotoxin specific to insects, so you don't
have to worry about it too much of humans, okay,
And also spay for insects and fungus on your roses too.
(04:39):
I see some yellowing leaves on the roses and that's
a byproduct probably in this case, not those inside, but
dropping leaves. It might have a fungus on them, is
something that the roses will do. So if you have
a lot of leaves spot on there, look look carefully
at it and see if there's some black spots on
the leaves. So that could be the problem too. The
(05:02):
soil at this point should be fairly loose and easy
to work. I did some of that yesterday in my
garden a little bit. Most of my garden is dedicated
to screening. The yard's kind of small. Should the soil
should be loose, easy to work prior to planting your
annuals and perennials. Also, in other words, you can't just
(05:23):
plant them in the clay because he won't make it there.
They're not suited for most of your annuals or what's
considered to be tropical, and they're not physiologically suited for
heavy soil.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
They need some earthier earth exactly.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
So if you want to have some good annuals, get
get your flowers, and then get a sack of oak composts.
Something they can't say over the here anyway, Get a
sack of compost with it and blend it in with
the soil, and you'll find they do a whole lot better, good,
little Saco, it's probably time for that second advocation of
(06:00):
pere emerged herberside and the beds if you have a
lot of weeds and stuff. But the mult is a
pretty good job of that. Also, watch out for lace
buggs on yours alias and mis. Lace bug is is
an insect that goes in and skeletonizes the leaf and
it's not it's not good and uh so on your azalias.
(06:23):
It's one thing you have to watch up for. And
Mike's also spider mightes give them too. We've had some
troubles this year also with scale insect on burning bush.
Bernie brush has traditionally been uh bulletproof, but but somebody
found the back door into this plant and we got
scale everywhere I go. I see scale on your bernie bush.
(06:46):
Scale is a is an insect that's about the size
of ahead of a pen maybe and it plants itself
on the plant, if you will, and draws juices from
the plant and then they they oosee out this honeydew
and ants spread it around and this kind of how
it goes up and on your planet is it's a
(07:06):
symbiotic relationship between scale insect and ana.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
This possibility of things being kind of wet U well
really with the scale.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Actually no, there's a scale of pretty much immune to that. Okay,
But and then they spot they prosper rather in warmer weather, sure,
and so on so on.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
So this is really an anomaly, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
On Bernie Bush? Yes, and I've seen it actually on Manhattan.
You wanted us as well, so you want to us scale.
There's a bit of a problem. I did some experimenting
the other day with some spinasad and seemed to be successful.
So traditionally, though, if you do have scale, a winter
application of dormant oil works rather well, ok because the
(07:50):
dormant oil will cause h leaf loss.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Just remember your your one of moust doesn't want much
of that.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Scale's the one, and it can get pretty bad. And
I've seen some. I was at a house a couple
of weeks ago, now, why aren't my plants doing well?
And looked at it real close, and brought over there,
looking real close at this stem and got my thumb
nail and scraped off some of them. There it was,
and it said, there's there's your problem right there. You
have scale real bad. Let's fix that. So that we
(08:19):
have have the ingredients necessary to fix that problemly. So anyway,
so people go out and look closely at your manhattan.
You wantamus look at your burnie bush. The uanamous radikins, though,
which is a groundcover, doesn't in the habit as much
as these other uprechton, so watch after that. Also, the
(08:40):
scale insect are really heavy on oak trees too, and
typically the admitted cloper is applied to that. Follow the
directions implicitly and it'll be effective, very good.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
So anyway, that's.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Why they put directions on those things so they could
be followed implicitly.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Yeah, and there are regulations involved with those directions, and
you can't just say on the first page you have
two ounces to the.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Gallon, da da da d D.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
You have to go through all this stuff, all the
cautionary things and all that which is its h You want.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
To be able to take care of the problem, not create.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Newing exactly if you want to be very careful with
how you use these things. Even though the amir culprit
is basically harmless to mammals, but still though you don't
want to You don't want to slash it around like
soapy water.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
You wanted. Let's take quick raanko. We'll be right back
after this two minute time out.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
If you're a do it yourself, the place you need
to go and the place you need to know is
United Riddles. A wise man once said, if the only
tool you have is a hammer, every problem will.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Look like a nail.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Finding out what you need is what the professionals at
United Rintles are great at doing. You've noticed when you
finally get the right tool or equipment for the job, how.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
Easy it is to fix.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Well, that's what the expert stew at United Rentals every day.
United Rentals on the southeast corner of Highway sixty and
seventy five.
Speaker 7 (10:07):
United Rentals. Who do I call to get my trees trimmed?
Speaker 6 (10:12):
Kelly Banks Tree Service? Who can grind up these stumps
in my yard? Kelly Banks Tree Service.
Speaker 7 (10:17):
There's a dead tree right by my house and I'm
nervous it might fall.
Speaker 6 (10:21):
Well, you better call Kelly Banks Tree Service.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
What's that number.
Speaker 8 (10:25):
It's nine one eight three five seven thousand. It's nine
one eight day three five seven zero zero zero.
Speaker 7 (10:31):
Call it today for your tree trimming, stump grinding and
tree removal needs.
Speaker 8 (10:36):
That's nine one eight three five seven zero zero zero
nine one eight day three five seven thousand.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
String is frun and literally that's true.
Speaker 9 (10:47):
At Green Thunder three and Greenhouses, it's time to plant,
and Green Thumb has the larger selection of quality plants
in the area. Annuals perennials, plants to feature butterflies, trees
and shrubs all now and stuck my biscus, herbs and
house plants. Green Thumb Nursery and Greenhouses open Monday through Saturday,
nine to five noon to four Sunday. Green Thumb Nursery
(11:09):
and Greenhouses on the.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
What A Road.
Speaker 9 (11:14):
Melissa Wandle was nine months pregnant with her first child
when her husband Mark was killed in a car accident.
His life insurance made a huge difference for Melissa and
her daughter Madison.
Speaker 10 (11:24):
I wasn't going to have to worry about going to
work every day, leaving her in the hands of somebody
else struggling day by day to get by.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
A message from the nonprofit Life Foundation. Yes, so.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Alrighty, we're back to the Green Country Gardener program. It
is eight fifty eight degree sunshine and Larry ashes with
us today. Now, Now, Larry, uh, this this this this
thing we call late spring.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
It's upon us now and things are happening.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
We have a lengthy spring, yes, which is good.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Usually we get two and a half weeks.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I don't have as many weeds at my house, but
some of some of the cool tolerant species are really
gone crazy. So anyway, I'm never homes Well.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
I took a look at my yard and it's been
a while since saying, you know, sou as he's been
able to cut the grass because every time I say
I'm going to mow the yard, she says, once you
take it out.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Next thing you know, she's out there and she's got
it done.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Anyway, International Harvest, Sir longmoordr Power.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
You talk about thirty two flavors of ice cream, I
think we got thirty two different types of weeds growing on.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Well. At LEASA stops erosion, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
It does, so keeps that dirt work supposed to be.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Actually, I'm getting along at my house this year. You
all terrain, yeah, because it's a moonscape basically.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
When they were putting down these optic whatever fiber internet
things in the front yard, they have big old piles
of rock. They pull up this huge rock a little
area between the sidewalk and the street. This giant rock.
Oh my gosh, I said, cool, Maybe I grow grass
(13:25):
now now anyway, so yeah, I watch out for that.
That's one reason why I'm unsuccessful with that is I
knew golly twenty some years ago. When I'm first moving there,
I wanted to rent an excavator and just rip all
the dirt out or rock out and put it into good soil.
Now I feel like I should have done that, but anyway,
(13:47):
not goodness sakes, it's not too late, I guess. So
Also back to your agilia's look for you the leafs.
Look at the leaf size on your zilia. Had a
customer coming last week and they had a I'm having
trouble with my jail. They're not growing very much. I said, look,
what's happening to the leafs you brought to understand? And
the olderlys priticize, but the newer leaves get progressively smaller
(14:09):
as they go out towards the outside the city or
your pH is off. So as are iericacious, meaning they
require in the city type soil. There originate in areas
of basically a volcanic soil base, which we don't wear
sedimentary here. They have a high pH. That's why people's
(14:29):
panoks are dying this year. But anyway, they do like
a low pH. And that's another reason why.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Wait, man, I might be in trouble here because that
that pinook's pretty big.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
If it falls in my house, I'm in trouble.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
So I'm hoping well call it expert, right, expert, No, really,
look at the health of the trade. Look at the
size of the leaf.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
It's fine.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Look at the the node between the leaves on it.
That's a good good rendering of how healthy the tree
is is by looking up the distance between the leaves
and the growth rate. Now, of course, as the tree
gets yeah it's not the doorbell.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Captain's log.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
But anyway, as the tree grows, ruth go out and
all that, and if it really can't get enough nutrients
in it, it slows its growth down. And am sure
the leave gets smaller and they all turn kind of
gallowish and color eventually. So that's a good sign that
you have what we call floor roses, which is a
plant's inability to take up nitrogen because of the pH
(15:37):
of the soil. Understood, So that's the problem with the
trees that traditionally grow in the city type soil such
as pinoaks.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Now, the northern red.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Oak was tolerted pretty well, and the Chinese fistached. It's
a very good job. My front yard is an example
of that, as is my neighborhood down the street and
so on.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Someone the red oak just kind of like grow up
anywhere in Oklahoma just about.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
But really you don't find it really growing in very
liney type foils.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Now, another one, of course, the Chinese elm is an
excellent tree, and that's our tree of the week is
the lace ark or Chinese lace bark rather or Chinese
lace arc. Here I'm thinking about the rain, but the
lace bark or the Chinese elm or armis parorfolio. It's
a really a super tree for urban conditions, and it
(16:29):
really should be considered as a street tree actually, because
it does tolerate a wide variety of conditions. It's a
street scape. It does very well in street escape, landscape
and someone and usually those are the worst growing situations
for a tree. And the lace parking, I'm just a
bloded just has a good time with it.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
So it's a deciduous tree, of course, and it's very hearty,
a very tough tree. It's capable of withstanding the rigors
of heart climates, poor soils, and street cape. Street scape situation,
gotcha the stuff we learned in college. Anyway. It's noted
for a quick growth, particularly planet and furtile soil. It
(17:12):
does seem to wave around in the wind a lot
and tolerate a lot of wind damage pretty well. I mean,
I don't see very much of any damage on lace
spark elums after all the storms we've got now, the
regular American albums, yes, they just fall apart. But the
laf spark elm has a different branching structure altogether, and
it does pretty well. So it's a good one to
(17:35):
have in the landscape. It gets foward to fifty feet tall.
It's widely adaptable, mature spread of forward to fifty feet flowers,
not very showy, and it's kind of upright spreading shape.
It has a rapid growth rate and the fall color
it can be yellow to purple, even red depending on
the variety cool so sun departial shade zone five to nine.
(17:58):
We're in zone six, let's just right about the middle,
and it's very widely adaptable to moisture levels too. Well,
you see this plant growing in the wild doing just
fine and down and the river banks doing just fine
and coming up, and cracks in the concrete.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
I gotta watch those.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
So if you really want to pretty much a bulletproof tree,
if I consider a lake sparko, if you're having trouble
with some plants, and I go through the neighborhoods and
I see a lot of trees that are just dying,
I think that has a lot to do, not necessarily
with the moisture and the winter we had last year,
but the drought we've had in the last couple of
years gotcha and stresses the trees out pretty much. And
(18:42):
then typically when a traier or a shrub of some
kind is stress, insects kind of come in, more bores
and things attack it because it's it's a real sweep,
but you know, because they're storing up for the winter
real heavily, and these bugs coming in and then they
and what they do. What the board does is it
(19:03):
channels in the in the floam layer of the tree.
The floam layer is that thin layer of cells that
carried the photosynthesized sugars down to the roots, and they
munch on that and they tunnel over there and it
and by going around all the way, it girdles the tree.
(19:24):
You know, these girdling means a section of the floam
layer is broken and the nutrients can't get down to
the roots and the tree diyes got a good ahead
of that. So another thing on bores is typically they
begin at the southwest portion of the tree. We've discussed
(19:45):
it so many times. It's warmer there in the wintertime,
so it's an adaptive strategy on their part. It has
had a little compass in their head or something.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I don't know, it's a little cold over here.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
So anyway, that typically on the southwest side of the
trees where you're going to find most of your boars,
and it's associated with the peeling bark. And if the
bark hasn't peeled yet, there's a flat spot in the
trunk where typically typically the trees of stalk or trunk
is circular in shape, but it'll come along and then
(20:18):
they'll have a flat spot on the southwest side and
come around with the bark has not been broken at
that point. So if you see a flat spot like
that on the southwest side of the tree, chances already
have bars underneath it.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
How do we get rid of it? The knife just kind.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Of that's one way, I guess. But we used to
use a diceison.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Can we use it anymore?
Speaker 2 (20:39):
No, they took it off the market. But the middle
cloprid once again has been very effective. Been controlling them too, so,
which is kind of a natural kind of thing. So
we use the middle clopred to attack bors, if you will,
and also if you see bark peeling off. I know
my plum trees have suffered a lot from borders, but
(21:02):
I've tried. They're just old. I got to pick what
I can this year and bring my cabota out. Just
pull them up and put some new ones in next
thing next spring early. But anyway, that's not of one thing.
You have to watch if the tree and watch out
for If the trees are having diminished health, they just
(21:24):
don't look good and they're not growing very well. Chances
are it might be some border problems because most of
the trees around here it's just too fine.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Can you recover?
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Okay, good, all right?
Speaker 2 (21:36):
That one day if you catch it in time, if.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
It gets completely girdled, it's done right.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
So anyway, that's Lake spark Helm. It grows fast enough
a lot of times it will heal itself up from
these border problems. And uh, it's just a pretty good tree.
There are some others you can use too. So there's
an emerald Sunshine elm, which is an American alm. It's
found out in western Oklahoma. Well, and it's a it's
a seedless album and it I think, but it only
(22:08):
gets about twenty by twenty feet. It's a small tree,
so you might consider one of that. It's a good
tough tree. Another one is ginko male.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Huh you just want to mail. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Yeah, the ginkos are dioecious, and typically the ones you
get the nurseries are cloned. So you'll be sure you'll
have a male plant.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
But don't get in a hurry for it to grow.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
Well.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Yeah, they are a little slow.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
They take a little bit healthy.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Yeah, but really a good thing about ginko is nothing
really bothers.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
It no easy.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
They'll live for generations. I mean they were developed back
into Cretaceous and these bid old dinosaurs eating on them
and all that. I guess they that so they've had
a long time to develop the you know, the ability
to survive under harsh conditions.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
They've been around, they've seen a few things.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
My neighbor behind me has a beautiful example of an
inkle tree on the west side of our house and
it kind of backdrops my landscape real well, it's really
beautiful tree. We had them at the University of Georgia campus,
big things you couldn't reach around. These things were planet
in the seventeen hundreds and they were just thriving and
doing well. And one day in the fall, the leaves
(23:22):
fall down.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Yeah, November first.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Yeah, I don't know why it didn't start. And if
you got the female, they started dropping the free it
sounds like incoming artillery coming in.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
No, it's not that bad. More than one days, but
essentially in a day I would just I would just
know they turned yellow and I'll just fall so you
don't have to wreak the yard once.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Yeah, right though.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
But anyway, this this tree is the ginkle tree, and
we have something at the nursery too. They're bulletproof, but
it's like some near the tree. There are some good
examples of egle trees are in town two.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
There are all right, let's take a quick break. We'll
be right back after this two minute time.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
Welcome back to the Green Country Gardner program in tea
thirty five and our phone line is open at one
eight hundreds up in four nine five ninety three six.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
You can talk to our expert Larry glass. I'm Tom.
I just dance on the phone and say selling things.
What's got there?
Speaker 2 (26:27):
But oh golly. Another tree that we really enjoyed back
in the eighties is the Bradford pair. I remember when
we carry those that the nurse couldn't get enough of them.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Pretty popular with that.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Oh yeah, the USDA tree. Excellent tree. Well, and actually
they were resistant to a lot of diseases and things
until we had a really bad cold spill and what
happened and they got a stem tozy. I can't think
of it right now. Anyway, they got a disease and
it lacked a lot of them, make them wait and
(27:00):
weaken all that. Fire Blake's what they got, is what
it was. And then they it looks like what it does.
It's a fungus disease, and it makes the bark kind
of break up into squares like it's been on fire.
It's called fire blake. And anyway, the Bradford bear has
has escaped to go down Silver Lake Avenue. You see
(27:22):
a lot of them on the side of the road,
and yeah, over there by behind lows and all that,
there's a whole forest of them. And they really they're
they're they they're considered invasive at this point because the
birds really like the berries on them, and then they
fly around and they distribute they plant them. Yes, around
there it's stripy. So we have a breadford pair forests,
(27:44):
if you will. But when they came out, they were
revolutionary because they were attractive tree shape blooms in the spring.
Some people were offended by the smell of the blooms.
Some people like them. I like the ginkle tree though.
The smell of the fruit some people don't. You know,
it doesn't bother me any Some people, Oh my god,
I can't handle that. So it just depends on the
(28:07):
individual really. So anyway, that's kind of coming gone. And
the elm tree, I think it's gonna be a good one, uh,
for for you here in our climate because it holds
up real well. Okay, uh leaves it to the sharp
of the week. Is a rose of Sharon or high
Biscus syriacus.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
I with roses sharon. Okay.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
The roads of Sharon gets somebody be tall and four
feet white if you let it. It can be pruned
every year. Uh. And it's a value for its large
flowers and produce in summer when very few other shrubs
are in bloom. It's a useful garden accent due to
a strict kind of upright habit when it's young, but
it will kind of broaden out over time. Okay, Uh,
(28:50):
this one's just tough. It has open, loose branches and
leaves to kind of light green, and it looks a
bit like a hibiscus leave, just a little bit like one.
And they grow in virtually any any climate. I like
to put it in an area that's under just a
little bit of stress. It tends to make the wood
a little harder, if you will.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
They have a kind of a bad problem like the
brad prepair of having a little bitty rosy sharings all
over the yard, like sharing sharing life exactly. But they
have a son that are sterile out there that don't
do that. So it's easy to grow for that reason. Okay, Uh,
it's important to keep it prune to do so in
the wintertime just so it doesn't get so big and leggy.
(29:35):
Has a tendency to be kind of weak branched and
and just coming. Yeah, it splits in half if you will.
And uh, but it's it's it's really good for our
climate because it's tough.
Speaker 13 (29:50):
Now.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
When I lived up in Chicago, we had them up
there and they didn't get as as large as they
do here, and they were a little bit more better
suit of the so I guess at the cooler temperature
and the shorter summer and that it didn't grow as much.
But over here they tend to get rather large, and
they can get some someone cumbersome and actually kind of
(30:11):
fall apart. So it's very important to keep this plant
maybe five or six feet tall, and that's done typically
in the winter time. And also it gets very branchy.
You need to kind of thin it out a little
bit too. Spend an hour with your rosa sharing every year,
just an hour, and it is just fine.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Do you do the St. Valentine's Day massacre that way?
Speaker 2 (30:32):
What do you mean by doing it in the winter, Well, yes,
but with a bit more finesse.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Saint Valentine's Day.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Now, this plant is what it does. Why it's so
good around here is that it does tolerate the drought
real well. A remember of the high biscus family, and
that's quite well. It's kind of related to the hardy
high biscuits, which is a very popular plant. These flowers
the old flower home. And it's related to tropical high biscus,
so so remember of the biscus family. So you might
(31:03):
consider that in the landscape as a backdrop. We keep
in mind it's going to take probably an hour a
year to maintain it. After that, it's just fine. Pets.
It gets some occasional aphids on it, but typically they
don't they don't drain it to the point where it's
not going to make it. I've not seen any scale
on on any uh Rosa sharings other than that to
(31:26):
be fine, put them in the backdrop somewhere. They don't
really belong close to the house. They need to be
off of the distance somewhere sure, because there a flower
appearance isn't constant like that. So and I don't like
to use it close to the house because it does
tend to look a little wild, if you will, So
Rosa Sharon good good one to consider maybe for screening
(31:48):
or backdrops something like that. But I sort of like
to keep it away from the house, okay, except if
you really have a situation of what it's needed where
nothing else will grow. Just like you're going over there,
that's a two story brick wall facing west and clay soil. Perfect.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
You're there, You're home.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Yeah. So it's usually fairly strong and easy to grow,
can be. It does get some aphis on occasion, and
but that's about it really, So I like to use
it for distant hedgerows and things. Okay. That leads us
to our annual this week is New Guinean Patients and Patients.
(32:35):
Is just one of five hundred species in this plant
family of balsam balsam Athia. So it includes old fashioned
garden balsam and new hibrids, ne Guinean Patients and the
Patients and someone the New Guinean Patient was introduced to
nineteen eighty nine, also known as Busy Lizzie, Touch Me
not impatience originally thought to be indigenous and Zanzibar. So
(33:00):
now they're just all over the world. They come up
wild and people's yards too. But anyway, the New Guinean
Patient is kind of a large version of the impatience
and impatients that typically are associated with shady gardens if
you will, with very loose organic type soil that do
quite well. But these can tolerate the sun. There's a
(33:22):
house on Shawnee I was admiring. We're doing a project
over there last summer windows and these an't new guinea
and patience. We're just smiling in the breaths on the
west side of the house. Oh right, Yeah, so they
must have been put in some really good soil so
you can get a good root system out there to
help keep their rather fleshy stems full of water. Then,
(33:48):
so good soil. It does a lot for these planets too,
and they just give you a good, reliable color alsover long.
So you might consider some impatience in the shade or
some new guinea I patients in the sun. I wouldn't
put it out in the middle of the yard in
the open sun, but come close to the house maybe
where you can water it a little bit more. It'll
(34:11):
do because the vascular tissue in this tem has a
lot of water in it, and if it gets droughting,
it just kind of will. So it's like a sheet
in the breeze, just wagon back and forth. But when night,
when nighttime comes up, there's one of them.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
Calls your popular as a doctor, Yes, so that.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
It rings all day long. I get texts all day long. Yeah,
in the middle of the night, So considered the new
Guinea and Patient for an area that's got some good
soil and good moisture content and even in the in
the sun, and new Guinea and Patient will work just fine.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Okay, very good. Let's take a quick break. We'll be
right back after this two minute time out screen has frun.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
And literally that's true.

Good morning, Welcome back to the Green Country Gardener Program.
And it's eight forty six sixty two degrees warming up.
We're going to be in the mid eighties today. It's
going to be a nice day today. We have our
phone line open for you if you'd like to join
the conversation with our Guru of the garden, Larry Glass.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
It's one eight hundred and seven six.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Our p per Yeah, our prennial this week. Yeah, it's
Stella d'Oro daily, Stella Stella door. Yeah. Celladoro daily as
valued as a compact rather compact growing plant, Richie high
of about twelve inches. It's not a huge plant really,
it's pretty cool with a kind of a similar spread,
(37:56):
so I can tell me about about the size of
a basketball against And it blooms from May through July,
which is unusual for daily lilies. Typically their dailylies they
have us talk with seven flowers on them and you
get seven days. But anyway, these bloom for a forty
long period of time in the summer. And it's that
that is it's adaptable to a ride rank there you
(38:20):
get it out a wide range of planting situations. I
have a some up my yard in the backyard doing
just fine in part cent and some in the front
yard underneath a maple tree, which of course deprives it
a lot of water, and things doing just fine. It's
just it's blooming right now despite all the utility companies
coming through and.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
Went having away.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
What a messy at the front yard they were. They
were on our block for months.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
I can just hear missus Larry again.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
Yeah, the house is rallying around anyway. So this one
does very well, and uh, and I do nothing to it. Yeah,
and actually there's a stone border around them. I got
these big rocks going around the maple tree because grass
whom grow underneath it. And I started to putting mulch
there and grass clippings pilot up on there, and the
(39:15):
you can pull trend into good stuff. And this thing
is doing quite well. This will be its fourth year
in that same place, and it blooms for fair to
the long period of time. It'll be in bloom till
all the middle of June or so. Then it just
gets too hot for it and everything else. So but anyway, uh,
may through July, and it's as its ability to rebloom
(39:36):
over a long period. It's an attribute to this is
not for sure, and it makes us Della Door one
of the most popular of the day levelies. The flowers
are fragrant, golden, and trumpet shaped. The foliages, of course,
like lilies, looks almost like a monkey grass. The foliage
does so LARIOPI. You can't say monkey grass. You get
failed to test. It's gluid.
Speaker 3 (39:57):
Your professor from college live around here? Does he come
by and visit?
Speaker 16 (40:01):
Yeah, that's it's old Jack. A couple of weeks ago,
I was old Jack doing I was covered in mud.
I bet he loves oh glarious. You went out of
it even.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
Jack, how's it going.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
I'm sixty seven years old and I'm working circles around
the kids.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
Jack, how about you?
Speaker 2 (40:19):
So anyway, that's that's It was pretty cool to see
you see it like that. He remembers me now said,
I talk about you and in my classes. Really cool. Wow,
So that's interesting.
Speaker 1 (40:33):
That's pretty cool. Mind mine talk about me too, but
not in the way that he talks about you.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
Oh yeah, they'll be like Dave, I shot him. The
CAD programs and all that. Oh yeah, but now I
was looking at the curriculum back at school and you
have to have a laptop and i'm drive and software.
Speaker 3 (40:52):
You just did it with all scholarly smarts back in
your day.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
Well, we used vellum and reverse CPS back then. And
he asked me, he said, what do you think about
I said, I really think you learn a lot more
with penn andiqu than you did with the computer thing,
because it's difficult to change. You have to think things through.
(41:16):
You can't say and look right and he sings it
all around, so he said, a good point. So now
they're they're re implementing pen.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
And ink nice. So you have to be very intentional
about you exactly.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
You have to be able to letter and all that
other stuff too. Back then it was really quite a
quite a deal. So but anyway, the Dole tourally really
doesn't have any any piss at all. It's a good
one to have. The better the soil, the better it's
going to do, even though little girl, and the worse
of soils, the better the better. So it's a good
(41:51):
one to happened the last year. I wouldn't make a
big show of it, use it just here and there,
but not a not a big massa because it's bloom
is kind of limited, and after that it just looks
kind of like some little grassy kind of thing. So
you don't use it as a mainstay in the landscape.
Just here and there some sparkle in the landscape when
(42:12):
it booms. You could put it with the cone flowers
which boom a little bit later. They're starting to bloom
right now and galardia something like that associate with it
for a perennial show. There are a lot of perennials
out there till you can use, so this is just one.
Speaker 3 (42:27):
Of them, and you can.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
It does need about every three years, it needs to
be divided. If it's growing out real well, it tends
to get kind of crowded. And I have one in
the backyard that it's kind of that doesn't bloom very well.
It's going to get divided, divide and conquer, but anyway,
and it's just they just don't perform if they're two crowded.
So about every two or three years they need to
(42:54):
be dug up and split. Oh good one to have
really roses right now, always turn back your roses to
the first leaf with five leaflets when pruning back after
the flowers. That's kind of an old old school methodology,
that's so, but my grandmother taught me that and it
works so anyway, So first leaf with five leaflets on
(43:18):
the roses, when the flowers all expire on the topic,
cut it back to that point, okay, and cut at
one eighth of an inch above the leak petiole at
an angle away from an angle down away from it,
real close to the upper leaf. That way a bud
will come out and it'll take it over where it
(43:38):
was broken off and get some more flowers. So black
spot as much of a problem yet, it's too cool
for black spot. But a lot of new roses simply
don't have that. So you might on the new ones
so that the knockout roses and the drift roses don't
seem to have much. The drift roses maybe a little
(43:59):
bit more than the then the knockout roses have a
problem with that. I see more people planting knockout roses.
Hopefully this rosette disease has run its course. I hope, so,
I would hope. And so people are having good luck
with I see them blooming everywhere, So I think they're
going to make a bit of a comeback to If
you want to avoid the rosette disease on your roses,
(44:21):
don't plant them close to a brick wall in the afternoon.
As far as spider mice like can. Spider mice are
the vehicle for the spread of this disease, gotcha, So
kind of keep it away from the house. Plant them
mount in the open somewhere, or plant them on the
east side of the house so they shielded from the
hot sun. Because Mike's really like a warm climate. So
I have a knockouts on the north side of my house.
(44:44):
It'll kind of away from the house. And they do fine.
I do nothing to them to take the hedge clip
or to them in the winter. If they come out
bloom me.
Speaker 3 (44:56):
Nicely, give them a haircut and they throw back.
Speaker 2 (44:59):
So that's kind of with the roses right now.
Speaker 1 (45:01):
All rightdee, Well, we're going to have to take a
little break here, and by I'm going to l I
mean four minute break.
Speaker 2 (45:06):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (45:07):
Yeah, we'll be back up to this four minute timeout.

The original Waldorf Astoria Hotel on Fifth Avenue in New
York City was built in eighteen ninety three. Constructed in
the German Renaissance style, the hotel had four hundred and
fifty guest rooms and another one hundred rooms for staff
and servant. After merging with their next door neighbor, the
Astoria Hotel, in eighteen ninety seven, the hotel had one thousand,
(46:07):
three hundred rooms, making it the largest hotel in the
world at the time. The Empire Room at the hotel
was the largest and most lavishly decorated room in the
Waldorf and quickly became one of the finest restaurants in
New York City. From the beginning, the Waldorf was the
must stay place for foreign dignitaries from around the world.
Some of those guests were the leaders of China, the
(46:29):
Princess Iam, the Grand Duchess of Russia, and many others.
Andrew Carnegie was a regular guest at the hotel, and
the Waldorf Astoria Bar became a favorite haunt from many
of the financial elites such as Diamond Jim Brady, Buffalo,
Bill Cody, and Bat Masterson. In short, anyone who was
anyone in the world of politics, society, business or entertainment
(46:53):
wanted to be seen at the Waldorf.
Speaker 2 (46:55):
It truly was the world's hotel.
Speaker 13 (46:58):
Following the tragic sinking of the Titanic, the Waldorf Hotel
was the official site for the inquiry that was performed
by the United States Senate into the disaster. With this backdrop,
our very own Frank Phillips was a major player at
the Waldorf. In nineteen twenty nine, a private corporation was
formed by Uncle Frank and he became part owner of
(47:19):
the Waldorf. Later that year, they sold the buildings and
the land to a corporation named Empire State, Inc. Their
plan was to demolish the hotel, which they did and
build the Empire State Building in that location in July
of nineteen twenty nine. Prior to the demolition, Frank Phillips
inspected the hotel and paid particular attention to four handsome
(47:42):
chandeliers which hung in the tap room of the hotel.
When the hotel was gutted in preparation for the demolition,
Frank was given those ornate lights. He promptly shipped them
to Oklahoma and had them hung in the great living
room of the Woolarock Lodge, where they illuminated family gatherings,
business meetings, cock tail parties, poker games, and many other
(48:02):
social events. When never asked by guests about the lights,
Frank liked a joke and say they were all that
he got out of his investment, calling them his million
dollar chandeliers and declaring them the most expensive in the country.
The Magic of New York City and the Waldorf Astoria
from eighteen ninety three is still part of the lodge today,
(48:23):
and the wonderful history of Wallarock. That same magic still exists.
Welcome home to Wallarock.

it's a one eight hundred seven four nine three six
Larry on your lawn.
Speaker 2 (49:28):
Fertilized for me and in Zoisa only if there's plenty
of moisture in the ground, which I think we balifyed
very well for that. The fertilizer diffuses in the ground.
It just doesn't magically go down to the grounds. It
has to have its transmission mechanism is it's diffusion. So
fertilizer typically is a salt. And if you do fertilize,
(49:49):
if you do want to fertilize and it is dry,
you want to water first, fertilize and water again. I
think we had to water first this last week. Whoa,
and actually tonight and maybe middle of next week we're
going to have the water in cycle. So not too
so anyway, so it's probably a good time to give
that permutographs and uzoids a little bit of fertilizer. It's
(50:09):
time to kind of refrain from that on your on
your fescue grass, and it's time to raise the height
of your grass at this point on your fescue grass too,
because it is going to get hot and it needs
that surface area for it to keep itself cool. So
don't don't cut the grass really though. Also you want
to raise up permuta grass. And I see a lot
(50:31):
of people with their zoidelon is really cut really short
right now, so you need to not bring that up
a notch. It should be about two inches tall for
to do really well in the heat. So when you
come by it, come by the nursery and check us out.
We got all kinds of cool stuff for sale over there,
and talk about maybe a little bit of landscaping here
and there. We're pretty much with all the rain, we're
(50:51):
not exactly up to schedule. I wonder why anyway, we
can talk about doing some landscaping on your and irrigates
and system too, and outdoor lighting so we do just
in retaining walls and all that other stuff we do
at so things have to be engineered if they are
to last. But anyway, Tom Golly, been quite a show
(51:12):

now for the Green Country Gardener Program with Larry Glass,
(00:23):
our expert. I'm Tom Davis at his ansel's phone, speaking
up phones. Our phone line is open at one eight
hundred and seven three six, Larry. It was a week
ago today we were picking up tree limbs and watching
the professionals pick up down power lines. But my, what
a difference a week makes. Yes, whether it's a little
(00:44):
bit more, uh, you know it's not working.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I saw Noah's art, go Bob Bob bobbling down. Frank
Phillips full of art. Golly, don't you guys look at
next week too? Don't you guys know when to quit
while we're trying making up for lost time?
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Yeah, we got a good if we through tonight will
be okay.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Yeah, tonight. I suppose there's a half a chance of
rain tonight, half a chance. I don't know if it's
going to be rather strong or I don't know how
fast it's moving, what the atmosphere doing right now, they'll
have some burying on the severity of it.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
I'm gonna get a guess it's Oklahoma so chaotic.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
I have to put pontoons on my old truck.

That would be Nute James Bond thing boom.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yeah really anyway, Uh, a lot of stuff going on
the garden right now.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Yeah, there's some growth, lots of growth.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
And uh and the weeds sorry to come in now
that's forming up a little bit. I'm seeing a lot
of weed emergence here and there too, so it's time
to do battle with that. Pre emergence work pretty well.
There's all kinds of weed control out there that are
pre emergent which actually prevent the seed from sprotting there.
But I wouldn't use that in the measureable garden really,
(02:01):
it'll keep those seeds from coming up too so anyway,
so watch for that also, multi mulch molt. The rain
is going to quit one of these days, one of
these days, and then there'll be camel's going down frightful. Anyway.
Multing does a whole lot to stabilize the moisture levels
in the soil, and when the rain does shut off,
(02:23):
you'll have at least some way to try to preserve
some of that moisture in the soil at least for
a period of time, if you will. So multing is
always good to do. It helps us stabilize soil temperature,
helps control weeds, and it helps ferment water loss. So
if typically we do have some dry weather in the summer,
and however the trend is quite the contrary, but nonetheless
(02:46):
we do have a pretty good chance of having some hot,
dry weather. So you want to try to preserve that
moisture that's in the ground as much as possible. Yes,
and I think in the long run mult is cheaper
than water in the long run have the water quite
so much and it also looks nice too. So we
do a lot of landscape work and the mult is
(03:08):
the finishing tuxt can really make a break of the
landscape depending on how that surface is done there too,
So multuose tomatoes, watch for mites and bacterial lift spot
at least spot on the tomatoes too. The spider mites
when it gets hot, they're going to be coming in
a full force, so you want to be aware of
that too, and there are some organic type insecticides that
(03:29):
you can use for that too. Spin as out as
one and oh there's some others. Anyway, the the natural
controls work quite well. You could use soapy water on
your tomatoes too if you have a problem with mites. However,
within an hour you do need to do a rinse. Yeah,
(03:49):
because it does its work in a bit of time,
you know, not too much, depending on how soapy the
soapy water is.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
And then but you got to let it breathe.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Yeah, you gotta let the tomatoes breathe, and you don't
want the mites to breathe. So what that does. What
does is it's a surfactant soapy water is and it
encapsulates the insect or coats the insect or might as
it were. Uh, so air can't get through and they drowned.
(04:19):
I guess if you will. So that's kind of physiological
have it works too. The spin is add is a
kind of a neurotoxin specific to insects, so you don't
have to worry about it too much of humans, okay,
And also spay for insects and fungus on your roses too.
(04:39):
I see some yellowing leaves on the roses and that's
a byproduct probably in this case, not those inside, but
dropping leaves. It might have a fungus on them, is
something that the roses will do. So if you have
a lot of leaves spot on there, look look carefully
at it and see if there's some black spots on
the leaves. So that could be the problem too. The
(05:02):
soil at this point should be fairly loose and easy
to work. I did some of that yesterday in my
garden a little bit. Most of my garden is dedicated
to screening. The yard's kind of small. Should the soil
should be loose, easy to work prior to planting your
annuals and perennials. Also, in other words, you can't just
(05:23):
plant them in the clay because he won't make it there.
They're not suited for most of your annuals or what's
considered to be tropical, and they're not physiologically suited for
heavy soil.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
They need some earthier earth exactly.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
So if you want to have some good annuals, get
get your flowers, and then get a sack of oak composts.
Something they can't say over the here anyway, Get a
sack of compost with it and blend it in with
the soil, and you'll find they do a whole lot better, good,
little Saco, it's probably time for that second advocation of
(06:00):
pere emerged herberside and the beds if you have a
lot of weeds and stuff. But the mult is a
pretty good job of that. Also, watch out for lace
buggs on yours alias and mis. Lace bug is is
an insect that goes in and skeletonizes the leaf and
it's not it's not good and uh so on your azalias.
(06:23):
It's one thing you have to watch up for. And
Mike's also spider mightes give them too. We've had some
troubles this year also with scale insect on burning bush.
Bernie brush has traditionally been uh bulletproof, but but somebody
found the back door into this plant and we got
scale everywhere I go. I see scale on your bernie bush.
(06:46):
Scale is a is an insect that's about the size
of ahead of a pen maybe and it plants itself
on the plant, if you will, and draws juices from
the plant and then they they oosee out this honeydew
and ants spread it around and this kind of how
it goes up and on your planet is it's a
(07:06):
symbiotic relationship between scale insect and ana.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
This possibility of things being kind of wet U well
really with the scale.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Actually no, there's a scale of pretty much immune to that. Okay,
But and then they spot they prosper rather in warmer weather, sure,
and so on so on.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
So this is really an anomaly, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
On Bernie Bush? Yes, and I've seen it actually on Manhattan.
You wanted us as well, so you want to us scale.
There's a bit of a problem. I did some experimenting
the other day with some spinasad and seemed to be successful.
So traditionally, though, if you do have scale, a winter
application of dormant oil works rather well, ok because the
(07:50):
dormant oil will cause h leaf loss.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Just remember your your one of moust doesn't want much
of that.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Scale's the one, and it can get pretty bad. And
I've seen some. I was at a house a couple
of weeks ago, now, why aren't my plants doing well?
And looked at it real close, and brought over there,
looking real close at this stem and got my thumb
nail and scraped off some of them. There it was,
and it said, there's there's your problem right there. You
have scale real bad. Let's fix that. So that we
(08:19):
have have the ingredients necessary to fix that problemly. So anyway,
so people go out and look closely at your manhattan.
You wantamus look at your burnie bush. The uanamous radikins, though,
which is a groundcover, doesn't in the habit as much
as these other uprechton, so watch after that. Also, the
(08:40):
scale insect are really heavy on oak trees too, and
typically the admitted cloper is applied to that. Follow the
directions implicitly and it'll be effective, very good.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
So anyway, that's.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Why they put directions on those things so they could
be followed implicitly.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Yeah, and there are regulations involved with those directions, and
you can't just say on the first page you have
two ounces to the.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Gallon, da da da d D.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
You have to go through all this stuff, all the
cautionary things and all that which is its h You want.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
To be able to take care of the problem, not create.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Newing exactly if you want to be very careful with
how you use these things. Even though the amir culprit
is basically harmless to mammals, but still though you don't
want to You don't want to slash it around like
soapy water.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
You wanted. Let's take quick raanko. We'll be right back
after this two minute time out.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
If you're a do it yourself, the place you need
to go and the place you need to know is
United Riddles. A wise man once said, if the only
tool you have is a hammer, every problem will.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Look like a nail.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Finding out what you need is what the professionals at
United Rintles are great at doing. You've noticed when you
finally get the right tool or equipment for the job, how.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
Easy it is to fix.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Well, that's what the expert stew at United Rentals every day.

Melissa Wandle was nine months pregnant with her first child
when her husband Mark was killed in a car accident.
His life insurance made a huge difference for Melissa and
her daughter Madison.
Speaker 10 (11:24):
I wasn't going to have to worry about going to
work every day, leaving her in the hands of somebody
else struggling day by day to get by.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
A message from the nonprofit Life Foundation. Yes, so.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Alrighty, we're back to the Green Country Gardener program. It
is eight fifty eight degree sunshine and Larry ashes with
us today. Now, Now, Larry, uh, this this this this
thing we call late spring.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
It's upon us now and things are happening.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
We have a lengthy spring, yes, which is good.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Usually we get two and a half weeks.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I don't have as many weeds at my house, but
some of some of the cool tolerant species are really
gone crazy. So anyway, I'm never homes Well.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
I took a look at my yard and it's been
a while since saying, you know, sou as he's been
able to cut the grass because every time I say
I'm going to mow the yard, she says, once you
take it out.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Next thing you know, she's out there and she's got
it done.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Anyway, International Harvest, Sir longmoordr Power.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
You talk about thirty two flavors of ice cream, I
think we got thirty two different types of weeds growing on.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Well. At LEASA stops erosion, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
It does, so keeps that dirt work supposed to be.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Actually, I'm getting along at my house this year. You
all terrain, yeah, because it's a moonscape basically.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
When they were putting down these optic whatever fiber internet
things in the front yard, they have big old piles
of rock. They pull up this huge rock a little
area between the sidewalk and the street. This giant rock.
Oh my gosh, I said, cool, Maybe I grow grass
(13:25):
now now anyway, so yeah, I watch out for that.
That's one reason why I'm unsuccessful with that is I
knew golly twenty some years ago. When I'm first moving there,
I wanted to rent an excavator and just rip all
the dirt out or rock out and put it into good soil.
Now I feel like I should have done that, but anyway,
(13:47):
not goodness sakes, it's not too late, I guess. So
Also back to your agilia's look for you the leafs.
Look at the leaf size on your zilia. Had a
customer coming last week and they had a I'm having
trouble with my jail. They're not growing very much. I said, look,
what's happening to the leafs you brought to understand? And
the olderlys priticize, but the newer leaves get progressively smaller
(14:09):
as they go out towards the outside the city or
your pH is off. So as are iericacious, meaning they
require in the city type soil. There originate in areas
of basically a volcanic soil base, which we don't wear
sedimentary here. They have a high pH. That's why people's
(14:29):
panoks are dying this year. But anyway, they do like
a low pH. And that's another reason why.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Wait, man, I might be in trouble here because that
that pinook's pretty big.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
If it falls in my house, I'm in trouble.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
So I'm hoping well call it expert, right, expert, No, really,
look at the health of the trade. Look at the
size of the leaf.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
It's fine.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Look at the the node between the leaves on it.
That's a good good rendering of how healthy the tree
is is by looking up the distance between the leaves
and the growth rate. Now, of course, as the tree
gets yeah it's not the doorbell.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Captain's log.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
But anyway, as the tree grows, ruth go out and
all that, and if it really can't get enough nutrients
in it, it slows its growth down. And am sure
the leave gets smaller and they all turn kind of
gallowish and color eventually. So that's a good sign that
you have what we call floor roses, which is a
plant's inability to take up nitrogen because of the pH
(15:37):
of the soil. Understood, So that's the problem with the
trees that traditionally grow in the city type soil such
as pinoaks.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Now, the northern red.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Oak was tolerted pretty well, and the Chinese fistached. It's
a very good job. My front yard is an example
of that, as is my neighborhood down the street and
so on.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Someone the red oak just kind of like grow up
anywhere in Oklahoma just about.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
But really you don't find it really growing in very
liney type foils.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Now, another one, of course, the Chinese elm is an
excellent tree, and that's our tree of the week is
the lace ark or Chinese lace bark rather or Chinese
lace arc. Here I'm thinking about the rain, but the
lace bark or the Chinese elm or armis parorfolio. It's
a really a super tree for urban conditions, and it
(16:29):
really should be considered as a street tree actually, because
it does tolerate a wide variety of conditions. It's a
street scape. It does very well in street escape, landscape
and someone and usually those are the worst growing situations
for a tree. And the lace parking, I'm just a
bloded just has a good time with it.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
So it's a deciduous tree, of course, and it's very hearty,
a very tough tree. It's capable of withstanding the rigors
of heart climates, poor soils, and street cape. Street scape situation,
gotcha the stuff we learned in college. Anyway. It's noted
for a quick growth, particularly planet and furtile soil. It
(17:12):
does seem to wave around in the wind a lot
and tolerate a lot of wind damage pretty well. I mean,
I don't see very much of any damage on lace
spark elums after all the storms we've got now, the
regular American albums, yes, they just fall apart. But the
laf spark elm has a different branching structure altogether, and
it does pretty well. So it's a good one to
(17:35):
have in the landscape. It gets foward to fifty feet tall.
It's widely adaptable, mature spread of forward to fifty feet flowers,
not very showy, and it's kind of upright spreading shape.
It has a rapid growth rate and the fall color
it can be yellow to purple, even red depending on
the variety cool so sun departial shade zone five to nine.
(17:58):
We're in zone six, let's just right about the middle,
and it's very widely adaptable to moisture levels too. Well,
you see this plant growing in the wild doing just
fine and down and the river banks doing just fine
and coming up, and cracks in the concrete.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
I gotta watch those.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
So if you really want to pretty much a bulletproof tree,
if I consider a lake sparko, if you're having trouble
with some plants, and I go through the neighborhoods and
I see a lot of trees that are just dying,
I think that has a lot to do, not necessarily
with the moisture and the winter we had last year,
but the drought we've had in the last couple of
years gotcha and stresses the trees out pretty much. And
(18:42):
then typically when a traier or a shrub of some
kind is stress, insects kind of come in, more bores
and things attack it because it's it's a real sweep,
but you know, because they're storing up for the winter
real heavily, and these bugs coming in and then they
and what they do. What the board does is it
(19:03):
channels in the in the floam layer of the tree.
The floam layer is that thin layer of cells that
carried the photosynthesized sugars down to the roots, and they
munch on that and they tunnel over there and it
and by going around all the way, it girdles the tree.
(19:24):
You know, these girdling means a section of the floam
layer is broken and the nutrients can't get down to
the roots and the tree diyes got a good ahead
of that. So another thing on bores is typically they
begin at the southwest portion of the tree. We've discussed
(19:45):
it so many times. It's warmer there in the wintertime,
so it's an adaptive strategy on their part. It has
had a little compass in their head or something.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I don't know, it's a little cold over here.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
So anyway, that typically on the southwest side of the
trees where you're going to find most of your boars,
and it's associated with the peeling bark. And if the
bark hasn't peeled yet, there's a flat spot in the
trunk where typically typically the trees of stalk or trunk
is circular in shape, but it'll come along and then
(20:18):
they'll have a flat spot on the southwest side and
come around with the bark has not been broken at
that point. So if you see a flat spot like
that on the southwest side of the tree, chances already
have bars underneath it.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
How do we get rid of it? The knife just kind.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Of that's one way, I guess. But we used to
use a diceison.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Can we use it anymore?
Speaker 2 (20:39):
No, they took it off the market. But the middle
cloprid once again has been very effective. Been controlling them too, so,
which is kind of a natural kind of thing. So
we use the middle clopred to attack bors, if you will,
and also if you see bark peeling off. I know
my plum trees have suffered a lot from borders, but
(21:02):
I've tried. They're just old. I got to pick what
I can this year and bring my cabota out. Just
pull them up and put some new ones in next
thing next spring early. But anyway, that's not of one thing.
You have to watch if the tree and watch out
for If the trees are having diminished health, they just
(21:24):
don't look good and they're not growing very well. Chances
are it might be some border problems because most of
the trees around here it's just too fine.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Can you recover?
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Okay, good, all right?
Speaker 2 (21:36):
That one day if you catch it in time, if.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
It gets completely girdled, it's done right.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
So anyway, that's Lake spark Helm. It grows fast enough
a lot of times it will heal itself up from
these border problems. And uh, it's just a pretty good tree.
There are some others you can use too. So there's
an emerald Sunshine elm, which is an American alm. It's
found out in western Oklahoma. Well, and it's a it's
a seedless album and it I think, but it only
(22:08):
gets about twenty by twenty feet. It's a small tree,
so you might consider one of that. It's a good
tough tree. Another one is ginko male.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Huh you just want to mail. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Yeah, the ginkos are dioecious, and typically the ones you
get the nurseries are cloned. So you'll be sure you'll
have a male plant.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
But don't get in a hurry for it to grow.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
Well.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Yeah, they are a little slow.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
They take a little bit healthy.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Yeah, but really a good thing about ginko is nothing
really bothers.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
It no easy.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
They'll live for generations. I mean they were developed back
into Cretaceous and these bid old dinosaurs eating on them
and all that. I guess they that so they've had
a long time to develop the you know, the ability
to survive under harsh conditions.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
They've been around, they've seen a few things.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
My neighbor behind me has a beautiful example of an
inkle tree on the west side of our house and
it kind of backdrops my landscape real well, it's really
beautiful tree. We had them at the University of Georgia campus,
big things you couldn't reach around. These things were planet
in the seventeen hundreds and they were just thriving and
doing well. And one day in the fall, the leaves
(23:22):
fall down.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Yeah, November first.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Yeah, I don't know why it didn't start. And if
you got the female, they started dropping the free it
sounds like incoming artillery coming in.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
No, it's not that bad. More than one days, but
essentially in a day I would just I would just
know they turned yellow and I'll just fall so you
don't have to wreak the yard once.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Yeah, right though.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
But anyway, this this tree is the ginkle tree, and
we have something at the nursery too. They're bulletproof, but
it's like some near the tree. There are some good
examples of egle trees are in town two.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
There are all right, let's take a quick break. We'll
be right back after this two minute time.

But oh golly. Another tree that we really enjoyed back
in the eighties is the Bradford pair. I remember when
we carry those that the nurse couldn't get enough of them.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Pretty popular with that.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Oh yeah, the USDA tree. Excellent tree. Well, and actually
they were resistant to a lot of diseases and things
until we had a really bad cold spill and what
happened and they got a stem tozy. I can't think
of it right now. Anyway, they got a disease and
it lacked a lot of them, make them wait and
(27:00):
weaken all that. Fire Blake's what they got, is what
it was. And then they it looks like what it does.
It's a fungus disease, and it makes the bark kind
of break up into squares like it's been on fire.
It's called fire blake. And anyway, the Bradford bear has
has escaped to go down Silver Lake Avenue. You see
(27:22):
a lot of them on the side of the road,
and yeah, over there by behind lows and all that,
there's a whole forest of them. And they really they're
they're they they're considered invasive at this point because the
birds really like the berries on them, and then they
fly around and they distribute they plant them. Yes, around
there it's stripy. So we have a breadford pair forests,
(27:44):
if you will. But when they came out, they were
revolutionary because they were attractive tree shape blooms in the spring.
Some people were offended by the smell of the blooms.
Some people like them. I like the ginkle tree though.
The smell of the fruit some people don't. You know,
it doesn't bother me any Some people, Oh my god,
I can't handle that. So it just depends on the
(28:07):
individual really. So anyway, that's kind of coming gone. And
the elm tree, I think it's gonna be a good one, uh,
for for you here in our climate because it holds
up real well. Okay, uh leaves it to the sharp
of the week. Is a rose of Sharon or high
Biscus syriacus.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
I with roses sharon. Okay.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
The roads of Sharon gets somebody be tall and four
feet white if you let it. It can be pruned
every year. Uh. And it's a value for its large
flowers and produce in summer when very few other shrubs
are in bloom. It's a useful garden accent due to
a strict kind of upright habit when it's young, but
it will kind of broaden out over time. Okay, Uh,
(28:50):
this one's just tough. It has open, loose branches and
leaves to kind of light green, and it looks a
bit like a hibiscus leave, just a little bit like one.
And they grow in virtually any any climate. I like
to put it in an area that's under just a
little bit of stress. It tends to make the wood
a little harder, if you will.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
They have a kind of a bad problem like the
brad prepair of having a little bitty rosy sharings all
over the yard, like sharing sharing life exactly. But they
have a son that are sterile out there that don't
do that. So it's easy to grow for that reason. Okay, Uh,
it's important to keep it prune to do so in
the wintertime just so it doesn't get so big and leggy.
(29:35):
Has a tendency to be kind of weak branched and
and just coming. Yeah, it splits in half if you will.
And uh, but it's it's it's really good for our
climate because it's tough.
Speaker 13 (29:50):
Now.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
When I lived up in Chicago, we had them up
there and they didn't get as as large as they
do here, and they were a little bit more better
suit of the so I guess at the cooler temperature
and the shorter summer and that it didn't grow as much.
But over here they tend to get rather large, and
they can get some someone cumbersome and actually kind of
(30:11):
fall apart. So it's very important to keep this plant
maybe five or six feet tall, and that's done typically
in the winter time. And also it gets very branchy.
You need to kind of thin it out a little
bit too. Spend an hour with your rosa sharing every year,
just an hour, and it is just fine.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Do you do the St. Valentine's Day massacre that way?
Speaker 2 (30:32):
What do you mean by doing it in the winter, Well, yes,
but with a bit more finesse.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Saint Valentine's Day.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Now, this plant is what it does. Why it's so
good around here is that it does tolerate the drought
real well. A remember of the high biscus family, and
that's quite well. It's kind of related to the hardy
high biscuits, which is a very popular plant. These flowers
the old flower home. And it's related to tropical high biscus,
so so remember of the biscus family. So you might
(31:03):
consider that in the landscape as a backdrop. We keep
in mind it's going to take probably an hour a
year to maintain it. After that, it's just fine. Pets.
It gets some occasional aphids on it, but typically they
don't they don't drain it to the point where it's
not going to make it. I've not seen any scale
on on any uh Rosa sharings other than that to
(31:26):
be fine, put them in the backdrop somewhere. They don't
really belong close to the house. They need to be
off of the distance somewhere sure, because there a flower
appearance isn't constant like that. So and I don't like
to use it close to the house because it does
tend to look a little wild, if you will, So
Rosa Sharon good good one to consider maybe for screening
(31:48):
or backdrops something like that. But I sort of like
to keep it away from the house, okay, except if
you really have a situation of what it's needed where
nothing else will grow. Just like you're going over there,
that's a two story brick wall facing west and clay soil. Perfect.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
You're there, You're home.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Yeah. So it's usually fairly strong and easy to grow,
can be. It does get some aphis on occasion, and
but that's about it really, So I like to use
it for distant hedgerows and things. Okay. That leads us
to our annual this week is New Guinean Patients and Patients.
(32:35):
Is just one of five hundred species in this plant
family of balsam balsam Athia. So it includes old fashioned
garden balsam and new hibrids, ne Guinean Patients and the
Patients and someone the New Guinean Patient was introduced to
nineteen eighty nine, also known as Busy Lizzie, Touch Me
not impatience originally thought to be indigenous and Zanzibar. So
(33:00):
now they're just all over the world. They come up
wild and people's yards too. But anyway, the New Guinean
Patient is kind of a large version of the impatience
and impatients that typically are associated with shady gardens if
you will, with very loose organic type soil that do
quite well. But these can tolerate the sun. There's a
(33:22):
house on Shawnee I was admiring. We're doing a project
over there last summer windows and these an't new guinea
and patience. We're just smiling in the breaths on the
west side of the house. Oh right, Yeah, so they
must have been put in some really good soil so
you can get a good root system out there to
help keep their rather fleshy stems full of water. Then,
(33:48):
so good soil. It does a lot for these planets too,
and they just give you a good, reliable color alsover long.
So you might consider some impatience in the shade or
some new guinea I patients in the sun. I wouldn't
put it out in the middle of the yard in
the open sun, but come close to the house maybe
where you can water it a little bit more. It'll
(34:11):
do because the vascular tissue in this tem has a
lot of water in it, and if it gets droughting,
it just kind of will. So it's like a sheet
in the breeze, just wagon back and forth. But when night,
when nighttime comes up, there's one of them.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
Calls your popular as a doctor, Yes, so that.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
It rings all day long. I get texts all day long. Yeah,
in the middle of the night, So considered the new
Guinea and Patient for an area that's got some good
soil and good moisture content and even in the in
the sun, and new Guinea and Patient will work just fine.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Okay, very good. Let's take a quick break. We'll be
right back after this two minute time out screen has frun.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
And literally that's true.

Good morning, Welcome back to the Green Country Gardener Program.
And it's eight forty six sixty two degrees warming up.
We're going to be in the mid eighties today. It's
going to be a nice day today. We have our
phone line open for you if you'd like to join
the conversation with our Guru of the garden, Larry Glass.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
It's one eight hundred and seven six.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Our p per Yeah, our prennial this week. Yeah, it's
Stella d'Oro daily, Stella Stella door. Yeah. Celladoro daily as
valued as a compact rather compact growing plant, Richie high
of about twelve inches. It's not a huge plant really,
it's pretty cool with a kind of a similar spread,
(37:56):
so I can tell me about about the size of
a basketball against And it blooms from May through July,
which is unusual for daily lilies. Typically their dailylies they
have us talk with seven flowers on them and you
get seven days. But anyway, these bloom for a forty
long period of time in the summer. And it's that
that is it's adaptable to a ride rank there you
(38:20):
get it out a wide range of planting situations. I
have a some up my yard in the backyard doing
just fine in part cent and some in the front
yard underneath a maple tree, which of course deprives it
a lot of water, and things doing just fine. It's
just it's blooming right now despite all the utility companies
coming through and.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
Went having away.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
What a messy at the front yard they were. They
were on our block for months.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
I can just hear missus Larry again.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
Yeah, the house is rallying around anyway. So this one
does very well, and uh, and I do nothing to it. Yeah,
and actually there's a stone border around them. I got
these big rocks going around the maple tree because grass
whom grow underneath it. And I started to putting mulch
there and grass clippings pilot up on there, and the
(39:15):
you can pull trend into good stuff. And this thing
is doing quite well. This will be its fourth year
in that same place, and it blooms for fair to
the long period of time. It'll be in bloom till
all the middle of June or so. Then it just
gets too hot for it and everything else. So but anyway, uh,
may through July, and it's as its ability to rebloom
(39:36):
over a long period. It's an attribute to this is
not for sure, and it makes us Della Door one
of the most popular of the day levelies. The flowers
are fragrant, golden, and trumpet shaped. The foliages, of course,
like lilies, looks almost like a monkey grass. The foliage
does so LARIOPI. You can't say monkey grass. You get
failed to test. It's gluid.
Speaker 3 (39:57):
Your professor from college live around here? Does he come
by and visit?
Speaker 16 (40:01):
Yeah, that's it's old Jack. A couple of weeks ago,
I was old Jack doing I was covered in mud.
I bet he loves oh glarious. You went out of
it even.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
Jack, how's it going.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
I'm sixty seven years old and I'm working circles around
the kids.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
Jack, how about you?
Speaker 2 (40:19):
So anyway, that's that's It was pretty cool to see
you see it like that. He remembers me now said,
I talk about you and in my classes. Really cool. Wow,
So that's interesting.
Speaker 1 (40:33):
That's pretty cool. Mind mine talk about me too, but
not in the way that he talks about you.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
Oh yeah, they'll be like Dave, I shot him. The
CAD programs and all that. Oh yeah, but now I
was looking at the curriculum back at school and you
have to have a laptop and i'm drive and software.
Speaker 3 (40:52):
You just did it with all scholarly smarts back in
your day.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
Well, we used vellum and reverse CPS back then. And
he asked me, he said, what do you think about
I said, I really think you learn a lot more
with penn andiqu than you did with the computer thing,
because it's difficult to change. You have to think things through.
(41:16):
You can't say and look right and he sings it
all around, so he said, a good point. So now
they're they're re implementing pen.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
And ink nice. So you have to be very intentional
about you exactly.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
You have to be able to letter and all that
other stuff too. Back then it was really quite a
quite a deal. So but anyway, the Dole tourally really
doesn't have any any piss at all. It's a good
one to have. The better the soil, the better it's
going to do, even though little girl, and the worse
of soils, the better the better. So it's a good
(41:51):
one to happened the last year. I wouldn't make a
big show of it, use it just here and there,
but not a not a big massa because it's bloom
is kind of limited, and after that it just looks
kind of like some little grassy kind of thing. So
you don't use it as a mainstay in the landscape.
Just here and there some sparkle in the landscape when
(42:12):
it booms. You could put it with the cone flowers
which boom a little bit later. They're starting to bloom
right now and galardia something like that associate with it
for a perennial show. There are a lot of perennials
out there till you can use, so this is just one.
Speaker 3 (42:27):
Of them, and you can.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
It does need about every three years, it needs to
be divided. If it's growing out real well, it tends
to get kind of crowded. And I have one in
the backyard that it's kind of that doesn't bloom very well.
It's going to get divided, divide and conquer, but anyway,
and it's just they just don't perform if they're two crowded.
So about every two or three years they need to
(42:54):
be dug up and split. Oh good one to have
really roses right now, always turn back your roses to
the first leaf with five leaflets when pruning back after
the flowers. That's kind of an old old school methodology,
that's so, but my grandmother taught me that and it
works so anyway, So first leaf with five leaflets on
(43:18):
the roses, when the flowers all expire on the topic,
cut it back to that point, okay, and cut at
one eighth of an inch above the leak petiole at
an angle away from an angle down away from it,
real close to the upper leaf. That way a bud
will come out and it'll take it over where it
(43:38):
was broken off and get some more flowers. So black
spot as much of a problem yet, it's too cool
for black spot. But a lot of new roses simply
don't have that. So you might on the new ones
so that the knockout roses and the drift roses don't
seem to have much. The drift roses maybe a little
(43:59):
bit more than the then the knockout roses have a
problem with that. I see more people planting knockout roses.
Hopefully this rosette disease has run its course. I hope, so,
I would hope. And so people are having good luck
with I see them blooming everywhere, So I think they're
going to make a bit of a comeback to If
you want to avoid the rosette disease on your roses,
(44:21):
don't plant them close to a brick wall in the afternoon.
As far as spider mice like can. Spider mice are
the vehicle for the spread of this disease, gotcha, So
kind of keep it away from the house. Plant them
mount in the open somewhere, or plant them on the
east side of the house so they shielded from the
hot sun. Because Mike's really like a warm climate. So
I have a knockouts on the north side of my house.
(44:44):
It'll kind of away from the house. And they do fine.
I do nothing to them to take the hedge clip
or to them in the winter. If they come out
bloom me.
Speaker 3 (44:56):
Nicely, give them a haircut and they throw back.
Speaker 2 (44:59):
So that's kind of with the roses right now.
Speaker 1 (45:01):
All rightdee, Well, we're going to have to take a
little break here, and by I'm going to l I
mean four minute break.
Speaker 2 (45:06):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (45:07):
Yeah, we'll be back up to this four minute timeout.

The original Waldorf Astoria Hotel on Fifth Avenue in New
York City was built in eighteen ninety three. Constructed in
the German Renaissance style, the hotel had four hundred and
fifty guest rooms and another one hundred rooms for staff
and servant. After merging with their next door neighbor, the
Astoria Hotel, in eighteen ninety seven, the hotel had one thousand,
(46:07):
three hundred rooms, making it the largest hotel in the
world at the time. The Empire Room at the hotel
was the largest and most lavishly decorated room in the
Waldorf and quickly became one of the finest restaurants in
New York City. From the beginning, the Waldorf was the
must stay place for foreign dignitaries from around the world.
Some of those guests were the leaders of China, the
(46:29):
Princess Iam, the Grand Duchess of Russia, and many others.
Andrew Carnegie was a regular guest at the hotel, and
the Waldorf Astoria Bar became a favorite haunt from many
of the financial elites such as Diamond Jim Brady, Buffalo,
Bill Cody, and Bat Masterson. In short, anyone who was
anyone in the world of politics, society, business or entertainment
(46:53):
wanted to be seen at the Waldorf.
Speaker 2 (46:55):
It truly was the world's hotel.
Speaker 13 (46:58):
Following the tragic sinking of the Titanic, the Waldorf Hotel
was the official site for the inquiry that was performed
by the United States Senate into the disaster. With this backdrop,
our very own Frank Phillips was a major player at
the Waldorf. In nineteen twenty nine, a private corporation was
formed by Uncle Frank and he became part owner of
(47:19):
the Waldorf. Later that year, they sold the buildings and
the land to a corporation named Empire State, Inc. Their
plan was to demolish the hotel, which they did and
build the Empire State Building in that location in July
of nineteen twenty nine. Prior to the demolition, Frank Phillips
inspected the hotel and paid particular attention to four handsome
(47:42):
chandeliers which hung in the tap room of the hotel.
When the hotel was gutted in preparation for the demolition,
Frank was given those ornate lights. He promptly shipped them
to Oklahoma and had them hung in the great living
room of the Woolarock Lodge, where they illuminated family gatherings,
business meetings, cock tail parties, poker games, and many other
(48:02):
social events. When never asked by guests about the lights,
Frank liked a joke and say they were all that
he got out of his investment, calling them his million
dollar chandeliers and declaring them the most expensive in the country.
The Magic of New York City and the Waldorf Astoria
from eighteen ninety three is still part of the lodge today,
(48:23):
and the wonderful history of Wallarock. That same magic still exists.
Welcome home to Wallarock.

Fertilized for me and in Zoisa only if there's plenty
of moisture in the ground, which I think we balifyed
very well for that. The fertilizer diffuses in the ground.
It just doesn't magically go down to the grounds. It
has to have its transmission mechanism is it's diffusion. So
fertilizer typically is a salt. And if you do fertilize,
(49:49):
if you do want to fertilize and it is dry,
you want to water first, fertilize and water again. I
think we had to water first this last week. Whoa,
and actually tonight and maybe middle of next week we're
going to have the water in cycle. So not too
so anyway, so it's probably a good time to give
that permutographs and uzoids a little bit of fertilizer. It's
(50:09):
time to kind of refrain from that on your on
your fescue grass, and it's time to raise the height
of your grass at this point on your fescue grass too,
because it is going to get hot and it needs
that surface area for it to keep itself cool. So
don't don't cut the grass really though. Also you want
to raise up permuta grass. And I see a lot
(50:31):
of people with their zoidelon is really cut really short
right now, so you need to not bring that up
a notch. It should be about two inches tall for
to do really well in the heat. So when you
come by it, come by the nursery and check us out.
We got all kinds of cool stuff for sale over there,
and talk about maybe a little bit of landscaping here
and there. We're pretty much with all the rain, we're
(50:51):
not exactly up to schedule. I wonder why anyway, we
can talk about doing some landscaping on your and irrigates
and system too, and outdoor lighting so we do just
in retaining walls and all that other stuff we do
at so things have to be engineered if they are
to last. But anyway, Tom Golly, been quite a show

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
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.
