Speaker 1 (00:09):
Good morning, good morning, good morning, Welcome, welcome, welcome, seventy
seven degrees and a few clouds may or may not
be holding rain. You're my liege, may vary. It is
the Green Country Gardener program. Larry Glasses with this of course,
he is our expert hero and Green Country Gardener. Our
telephone line is open at one eight hundred seven nine
(00:29):
five nine three six.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Well.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Interesting week. We've had just about all all forms of
the spring summer with the water and heat.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
I'm surprised you guys didn't try to sneak in a
little bit of snow with it.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
That would have been nice. I mean, really, that would
have taken the edge.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Off I guess though.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Yeah, I couldn't mind that button, you know.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Yeah, the blue one's gone. Yeah. Well anyway, really it's
getting to be at the heat of summer and kind
of a time, but there's still some things to be
done in the landscape. Okay, so, uh tink caterpillars. I
haven't seen very many of them this year, you know,
the up in the trees. Yeah, big.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Do you think the kind of radical weather we've been
having had anything to do with that?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
I think so. It's it's been actually it's a fairy
cool spring so and and their their populations sort of
come and go. If you look around, you see a
few of them here and there. But it's not got
it that one year it looks like Halloween all over town.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yeah, they all moved in here, good barlows.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
We got default he is. But I think it's it's
kind of a cyclical thing, so we'll probably see some,
but by now we should have seen some. So if
you do have them, Actually, the Selpy water soapy water
works were real well, quite well. Actually yes on tink
caterpillars exactly Calley, but they actually did that. When they're
(02:05):
in the caterpillar stage like that have a very high
rate of metabolism and it doesn't take them long with
smother out when you wash them down some some soapy
water a hose in spray works pretty well, or just
a regular pump up sprayer, just some dish soap, very
effective on them. Actually, MIC's h also might be a
(02:26):
bit of a problem, so look very closely at your
great myrtles. You're bringing bush too. It can get some mics.
Almost everything you can get in box woods especially get mics.
So what you do with the box woods is at
the end of the day or when it's when they're
not in the full sun. I spray mine down with
the dish soap in a hose in sprayer and.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Then you rinse it clean.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
You rent clean, you spray it. I leave on home
for about an hour and then go back and there
rent it off and it usually does a pretty job
take care of the mics, and there's no residual action
to that. It's harmless. So if anything, your box was
a pretty all the dust off of them, squeaky clean
box was so anyway, that works, are good for mices too,
(03:12):
but make sure to uh spray it off with some
with some clean water so it doesn't cause problem. Okay,
tomatoes also might be getting some too. It hadn't really
been that hot yet for the mic populations to really
just explode, so I don't see a lot of them
at my house or other people's houses really, so it
(03:33):
was probably I'm going to be all right with that
this year. So it seems clear this year than normal.
We've not hit one hundred yet.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
No, that's strange. I've lived here for six years. Yeah,
I can't remember summer where it didn't get into the
deep bake of over one hundred for.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
We had one. We had one seven years ago.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Oh we did well. I went around for that one,
just like this year. So cyclic.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Yeah, it has to do with all this stuff and
outer space whatever. So also we've had quite a bit
of rain this year too, so it's saving a lot
on irrigation and the systematic operation of irrigation systems is up.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Here we go, and we're gonna have a weather warning
here in just a little bit. We kind of get
the heads up just before they go live.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
And well, that's kind of clouding up to the north there,
so we just might get a little bit of stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah, here covers the National Weather Service in a moment.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Well you'll get it here in a second here folks, okay,
and the rain it is causing here we go what.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
And and once again it's the fly flood warning. Two
regions to our stream south and we're still within our
loasting area. And that's why we carry the watches in
mornings because everyone is important, no matter where you live.
If you can hear our voice, we're here to keep
you ahead of the storm. All right, it's eight fifteen.
It's the Green Country Gardenment Program.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
I remember I said it was clambering up a little bit. Well,
I just popped on the radar this thing and this
building up in Central Osage County.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yep. We are probably going to be in for one
or two rounds today and tonight.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Kaboom. And it looks like west of thirty five starting
to pile up a little bit too. So yeah, well, anyway,
good get out for Eliza grass, real quick.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Quick confusion this afternoon.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
If you don't want it, terrain for light of grass, Yeah,
it works every time. If you do want to rain,
wash the car exactly where sending this, Buy a bunch
of panzies, art up pansies with flowers and things, and
it'll rain for sure. Oh golly, all these little things
that happen makes it whatever. Anyway, Yeah, it's just when
(05:57):
I was driving over here coming, I was looking to
the northwest and looks like it's piling up a little bit.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
We do, we do have.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
There's some just just a little bit right up the
husky really looks like kind of heading this way. So
so anyway, get ready for that. So if you haven't fertilized,
you're long in a while, you might consider doing that
before it does rain, and do yourself a favor. Definitely,
maybe it'll maybe it won't rain anyway, So it is
(06:27):
time to on a monthly basis apply some fertilizer to
the bermuda grass. Also, it's time to raise it up
all the way up in the lawnmower and make sure
those blades are good and sharp.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Oh yeah, because especially sticking wet as the grass has
been lately.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
I got people jards and the grass that the tips
of it are shredded, and it makes for a kind
of an unsightly appearance. So grass looks kind of sick.
I said, what do we need to do? Sharping your
long ord blade that's all you? Yeah, that will help
it a whole lot. And so to check it out,
if you do have shredded tips on your grass, perhaps
(07:04):
you might want to take the blade off and sharpen.
Make sure to balance it too. I have this little
tools look like a top, and you put the blade
on it and it but my daughter, when she was young,
you used to used to play with it and make
I just let her, you know, it was like, but
I never did lose my blade balance her. And I
(07:25):
think over every time a bounce my lumbow. Yeah, so anyway,
so go ahead and sharpen it. And also you know
they do wear out, so you might be getting another
one perhaps, but they work so much more efficiently with
a sharp blade they do, so okay. Also, your grass,
if it's not really greening up like you want to,
(07:47):
there might be a pH issue. Perhaps some parts of
town the soul tends to be a little acid, and
some parts of town so it can be somewhat alkaline.
So if you're not getting really green, you might consider
having a soil test. Hey, before you spend all this
money on water and fertilizers and da da da d D,
you might want to know exactly where you stand chemically
(08:10):
on your yard before spending all the money. It didn't
cost much, or extension agent will do that for you,
or you can get a we I think we have
some litmus tests the dustry, and I know they got
them at the big Buck stores too, where you can
actually test your soil and you get a pretty good
idea where it's going. And so you need before you
really do something like changing the pH or something, you
(08:32):
need a basis for which to make a decision on that.
And knowing your soil pH your soil chemistry is a
good way to do that. Then you see your neighbor's yard,
it's very beautiful, you know all that. Well, they hire
somebody to do it, whether they do the same thing.
They check the chemistry and respond to it, so you
just don't see them doing no. So that's for that.
(08:54):
That's kind of the same thing with always of grass
right now, fescue grass, if you have festque, it should
be rather tall at this point too, because they need
that surface area for a bapple transporation to help keep
it cool. It also shades the ground so it doesn't
get so hot. And when you do water when you irrigate,
make sure you have a dry spell between irrigation too.
(09:17):
Don't keep it constantly wet, constantly wet. What that does
just creates a very shallow root system because the grass
doesn't have to reach it down for the water, and
then it becomes addicted to water. So you have to
you have to train it. Yeah, I have to train
it and make them go down with deeper work for
it so for it, yes, so well that they'll give
(09:43):
you more of a of an area of absorption. When
you do water, you can water and get it you know,
down deep, so it'll it'll stay down there and let
it dry out a little between the waterings. For here
we go again.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
All right, folks, we're going to get another weather I'll
alert here and just a little bit. Wouldn't be a
bit surprised if they include Osage County and on this one.
But we'll wait to see what the National Weather Service
has to say about the flood watches. In mornings, we
are under a flood watch here. We have mornings later
(10:26):
and once again we're keeping you ahead of the store,
especially if you live into the southernmost counties of our
listening area. We are also monitoring some development looks like
in Osage County at the very southern tip and also
near four Acre and also a little bit back on
the Kansas side a little still to our west of
(10:47):
our listening areas, but we're keeping an eye on it.
We're going to take a quick greg for words from
our sponsors, and we will be right back after this
three minute time out.

United Rentals welcome back to the Green Country Gardener program
and say twenty six our phone line is hoping you
can speak with Larry are expert and one eight hundred
seven nine three six between weather warnings.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Really yeah, Actually, on with the rain, we've we've had
the plants to kind of kind of become dependent on
the shallow water available and some of them don't have
we got a collar and some of them, some of
them don't have a deep root system. So when you
do water, you don't discourage that from happening, and water
(14:35):
them fairly deeply in the ground and it doesn't hurt
them to wilt just a little bit between watering.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Let them just kind of say help me please.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
I said, no, no, I don't discipline you. You're gonna
have some deep roots here.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
You.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
That's what I do to my stuff. It's got it's
got it. I got a dog with in the back
of that's just begging for rain, and I said, this time,
I don't know, you need to get some. It's down
into there. So but it's actually it's a sibling of
the big one. The big dog would treat that we
transplanted from the front yard twenty five years ago. So
(15:13):
it seemed quite well, okay, dog woods are actually speaking
of those, they're starting to begin to produce the blooms
in the spring. So whatever you do, don't cut them
back at this point.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Oh, you don't want to do that.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
The blooms will beginning. The tips are differentiating from leaves
to blooms, and it's a respond a response rather of
the shortening of the day.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Sure, so we had the fastest day on record yesterday.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Yeah, the earth.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Sped up for a little bit about a second past.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Oh yeah, I felt that too.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Hick my breath away.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Anyway, at the nursery, We've got some sales going a
Rosa Sharon Rosa Sharon is, hibiscuits, suriakids and it's thirty
percent off. We have some African policies that are on sale.
Japanese maples are on sale too, tind to plant folds.
We have a few Climatis vines and they're thirty percent off.
Hydrangees a thirty percent off perennials or a dollar off,
(16:11):
and person lane hanging baskets. Got some really nicely in
person lane handing hanging baskets. They're like five bucks off.
So roses themselves are a half price, and fakes blueberries
blackberries are forty percent off too. Some stuff on sale.
And you know, we've had some really good weather this year,
(16:32):
so I don't see why you really don't want to
plant something. You just have to monitor it a little
bit and not over water it and it'll do just fine.
We were at a project we finish up, and the
customer wanted to know, do we need to water this more?
And I said, absolutely not, because it's captured by the
driveway and I'll smell that and I stuck my finger
(16:53):
in the ground and there's why it's it's the moisture
is really good, really good, so you don't have to
worry about watering. And on that particular circuit of the
irrigation system, you want to go ahead and program it
to run on its own, maybe once a week, twice
a week, rather than as you do on your long
(17:15):
perhaps maybe a little bit further apart water and just
to let it dry out. By letting it dry out
a little bit like that, it prevents the fungal growth
in root rot and so on. Yeah, our soil here
tends to be a little bit on the heavy side,
and even though we might put in tons and tons
(17:36):
of compost in the soil, it's still kind of tight
down deeper than that. So the percolation rate rather low
in a lot of parts of towns too. So if
you do a bed, the soil is looser in that bed.
It tends to act like a sort of a post,
if you will, because of the rates of percolation being
(17:56):
greater in the soil you have and lesser than the
soil around it. So the water doesn't seep down around
us quickly, which is a common problem people have. You
plant these trees and either they don't water them enough,
or they water them too much the lean and they
kind of die, yeah, either from a root rod or
(18:20):
a lack of water actually, So you just have to
kind of check themsels and develop a schedule because I
can't develop a schedule because there's so many variables in
the equation. You have temperature, wind, you have the precipitation,
soil type, all the other things like that that you
have to account for when you're trying to determine a
(18:41):
watering schedule for something. So my best solution just water
when he gets dry, very simple, easy, and it'll tell
you if it needs water because the leaves will wilt
a little bit. And then when they do wilt, go
ahead and water fairly heavily, so the water goes down
fairly deep and they'll pop back up and when they
drop game it's time to water. Then you'll be able
(19:01):
to develop a schedule based on that. So using your
watch or your clock on the wall or whatever you
calendar of water, it's just just not the way to
do it because there's so many variables in the equation.
It's got to be visual, and yeah, you have to
look at your plant and see if it needs water,
and then water pretty heavily. Then you want to do
this much. So your people ask me how often do
(19:23):
I water this tree? I said, when he gets dry?
And when you plant a newly planet a tree, you
want to put some mulch over the top. We got
done with a big project where the planeted a lot
of trees and we put steel edging around them and
mulch in there. And I was checking out the soil
it's got it's getting a little bit dry, and I
(19:45):
checked the water level down. Fine, you don't need water.
That three inches of molch does an awful lot conserve water.
So keep that in mind too. There are some planting
practices you can implement in order to not have to
water just so much all the time. Understood. And also
(20:07):
we put in a sprinkler system and and a timer
that monitors the National Weather Service and it and then
you enter criteria soil type, plant type, slope. You have
to get all the ingredients in there, all the you
enter all that all that criteria into the algorithms there.
(20:29):
Algorithms in there will generate the schedule and it'll change,
like we have all this radar coming in and it'll
shut you down.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
There it comes.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
You don't need water, buddy, so it'll uh, it'll stop it.
And also that gets really dry, it'll water a little
bit more, so it kind of responds environmentally to that.
So that might be a consideration when doing a sprinker
system is too and is to have a timer like
that or it makes it real good. When Rainberd makes
them two uh some of them though, you gotta you gotta,
(21:07):
And we've had to swap out a few because they
they change their motive in there and doesn't do two
point five G anymore. No, and some of them are
five point h and some of them five and two
point oh, but some of the older ones, and Rainberd
needs to update their stuff to make it five G compatible.
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
So because that's where everybody's going.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Everybody's going to that. Yeah, what's the next one?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
What G or something something like that.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
We're gonna so we need to make sure, you know,
if you do want to get an Internet best timer,
it's to know your your router so it'll it'll tap
into the Weather Service.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
It'll work just fine. You gonna take a little bit
of a break, Leary, We're going to be right back
after this three minute time out.

Back a Green Country Gardener program. Our phone lane is
open at three six. Larry Glasses are expert. Larry, what's
next on the agenda.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Let's say trees. Yes, trees, make them work in the landscape,
make them like like for instance you were mentioning earlier,
somebody planted a pino tree too close to the driveway
and it makes for a moove art a broken pavement.
So you want to if you want some a tree
kind of close to that, you might consider maybe a
smaller tree. Yeah, because pino something they get about as
(25:51):
big a round as this room and huge and the
root system the pinoaks actually are indigenous to a lowland
areas and because of that day a fairly shallow root system.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
You don't have to go deeper water right there.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
In response to anaerobic soil. So the physiology is set
up for that kind of thing. Now, something like a
northern red oical work pretty well. An English oak and
a white oak actually is a real good tree. Actually
it doesn't get oakropted. That pretty cool tree. They have
an interesting bark and so very deep it's too. So
(26:25):
there are some good trees out there that they'll do that.
We've planted a lot of English oaks here in town,
some of the upright ones. And in a situation where
you're kind of into a place where there's just not
a lot of room it is, but you want a tree,
but you want one that's where the upright English oak
where because rob Fastigiata comes in in.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
We got that too.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
We have some at the nursery too, you do. And
also another tree is a Chinese fustache as quite well.
It has a good deep root system. And I planted
one years ago on the west side of the driveway.
Actual dug it up out of the yard and now
it's a big old tree. Trunk's a bigger around and
it shades my old pickup truck when I come home.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
See how he made it work for you.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
And there's grass growing right up to it, and it
shades the and doesn't buckle the cement. It's twenty feet away,
fifteen twenty feet away from the driveway. It won't cause
any problem. So it's pretty cool too. So there are
some trees out there that you can plant that won't
tear up your pavement and or drought tolerant, and they
give us some afternoon shade. Imagine that's why the oak
(27:33):
tree is pinted there for some afternoon shade. And there
are some that will grow without having to buckle the
pavement and cause problems with seeds and acorns and who
knows what else coming out of the tree. Another one
is the Chinese elm. Kind of the same thing as
a pistache as far as sides is concerned. And they
(27:56):
have a very small leaf that kind of blows away
in the wind in the fall easily, and actually the
leaves decomposed pretty quickly on the on the elm. And
now Dutch alm does' eat that's usually what they know.
They don't get it. Yeah, the Dutch alm is for
American elms things like that, not the Chinese. They don't
get that. They make actually excellent street trees. There's a
(28:19):
lot of them planted downtown. So they do make good
street trees. Need that very well to harsh environments, as
you will, So you might consider maybe that one also
as a tree close to the driveway or something. But
if you're going to put a tree close to a pool,
you want to make sure you get a male pustache,
(28:42):
so they don't they don't litter anything. The females are
kind of messy, you know. And another one that's kind
of slow growing is the ginkgo tree. There's a probably
one of the best trees you can have, and uh,
they don't litter anything. Typically, the ones that are available
(29:02):
in the market, or the male ones, not the females.
They're cloned, if you will, so they don't have all
these obnoxious, smelly fruits on them. So it's a good
tree to have also, but it's kind of slow growing.
So if you're new to town and you're fairly young,
you might want to plan a kinkle tree.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
By the time you're retired. It's hey, that's a good look.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
My neighbor behind me has a beautiful one, and if
she moves away, it's kind of close to the house.
I would hate to have somebody come in and cut
that down. There'll be a tragedy. Yeah, But anyway, so
there are some trees out there that will work in
a tight, difficult situation, and there's a lot of them
(29:44):
out there that won't work. So we can we can
supply that information for you, give you some choices for
trees to pick out. Okay, shrubs also, there's just so
many of them available out there. They do someth many
different things. They exhibit color, either seasonal color or leaf color.
(30:06):
For instance, the blue rug juniper, the or the you know,
there's some red leaf shrubs too. It be anything from
barbaris to create myrtle and create myrtles that have a
real plum purple color leaf on them, and they they're
starting to turn red right now, so they're kind of
pretty too. It give me some color in the landscape,
(30:26):
not only with the flowers but the leave also. So
when doing your landscape competition, you do something you know
for some specimen enteres like that, and keep in mind
also that the landscape has to look good pretty much
all year round. It does, so you just don't want
to use hydrangeas and deciduous shrubs because in the wintertime
(30:47):
it looks like the land that time forgot. So you
might want to blend in just some evergreen backdrop plants
in with your landscape competition, so it does look nice
in January as well as in you know July or
June in August, so a blending of the two different
kinds which work very well. And there's several varieties of
(31:09):
Nandina's people. Oh no, they spread no, no, they don't.
They don't spread everywhere, not the new ones. And probably
one of my favorites is the obsession Nandia has a
real purple plumb purple leaves on it, really attractive and
it's evergreen. So and of course the dwarf Nandina is
(31:29):
a good workhorse in the landscape. If you get some
good afternoon sun, it turns a bright red color in
the winter, so you have these bright red leaves. So
that's kind of all season interests. You don't want to
make an entire composition of these plants. They use them
in bits and pieces and kind of a four plant
(31:50):
if you will, in front of a boxer or something
to give you some color change in the wintertime. Okay,
so there you go. So keep in mind our environment
over here just rather hot and drying the summertime. Keep
in mind bugs.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
They happen that week.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
You don't want to be outspraying all this stuff all
the time. Have keep in mind how big these plants
are going to get in relation to your house and
how sharp your your shares are too.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Got to keep that.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
So a lot of the plants that are prefaced by
the word dwarf, we're working a lot of landscapes in
people's yards.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
All right, we're gonna have to take a break. Now,
we're going to be back after this three minute time out.

In this station, welcome back to the Green Country Gardener Program.
It's a eight forty seven and our phone line is
opening one eight hundred seven four nine five ninety three six.
Our expert is Larry Glass. Larry, what do we have
coming up next?
Speaker 6 (35:47):
People?
Speaker 3 (35:48):
They asked me how to I gear to crabgrass in
the grass? Now my yard is I got rid of it.
It came back. That happens a lot. I know, mark
came back. I didn't put down for timing. Oh you
do that in March. Put it down before, by the way.
Well yeah, well some people, uh, actually it's all I have.
(36:11):
Like the next door neighbor, all he has this craggrass,
but one to the south is beautiful. Oh it's beautiful.
It looks like a pudding green. Perfect. And then you
go across the street it's horrible. And mine's kind of
stuck between these two yards.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
So you're out there with Larry's claw ham.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
Claw hammer. That's what I got to do tomorrow afternoon.
Just get in there and get all my hands and
knees and dig up some of that stuff. Some of
that's this big, old heavy stuff. It's just giant crabgrass,
plants gay. This is the year, all the rain, it's
been the year for these craggrass to really grow.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Why do some people call that water grass? Is that
because it pulls a lot of water?
Speaker 3 (36:52):
I guess so it uses up a lot of water maybe. Anyway,
So at this point in time, the the herber side.
But there are some like the burbicides for the crabgrass,
but it's gone to seed right now, so they won't work.
So you missed the boat. So those big ones that
are about.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
One hundred year old snapping hurdle pull the camera.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
Actually, for for the last three years we have really
not had the rain we've had this year, and it's
been difficult and expensive actually to water along.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
So I've gone from the lakes being down to a
mud puddle to now being.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
Like overflowing cattle skulls.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
Like fish hit hiking to the next puddle, a little
stick and a bag over and you know, yeah out
of here, Yeah, hiking along the ring.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
But no different this year. I remember we did a
project and when the reservoir about ran out of water
and and we had to you know, test fire the
sprinker system and they cut the pressure. Ye it's working fine.
Now there you go. So so we're getting crab in
(38:09):
the grass right now. There's nothing you can do about
it but physically remove it.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
Uh so uh.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
And and listen to us in March April, we'll talk
about pro diamine and stuff that's a pre emergent control
and it's very effective. Actually, it doesn't. Doesn't bring good
job of controlling it, so you might consider doing that
next next year. Doing it in the fall won't do
any good if you do. Your pre emergence later on
in the fall are good for the spring blooming weeds
(38:38):
such a henbit and chick weed and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
Those are.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
Yeah, Actually they start coming in in over so so
we're a couple of months away before you want to
do that, So I wouldn't worry about it right now.
But yeah, and you could do some actually some spot
spray applications, a round up where you get like a
tube or a pipe or something and spray down the tube,
(39:02):
but it doesn't spray out and that will selectfully. Then
you'll have all these little you look like a leopard lawn. Yeah,
but thereat grass will fill in.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
It will. It will take a little bit, but it'll
get there.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
So I don't think, really, really people don't care too
much about crabgrass.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
I think I think they've learned to live with it,
to be quite honestly. From where I live.
Speaker 3 (39:24):
Well, make sure the blower is good and sharp and
the carburetor is in good shafe. Yeah, it'll be Fun'll
pick it all up and grind it up.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
Jeez.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
Anyway, annual the week this week is parawinkle. We do
have some parawinkles still for sale as the nursery, and
they are a tropical pero. It takes the heat, takes
the heat real well, so you don't want to plant
these when it's cool. And we have we have had
a kind of a cool spring and a little that
one too, and the pair of winkles don't like.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
Cool wet weather, no they don't. So they're just funny that.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
If you plant a time and they didn't make it,
well we still have something, and then we can replace
you put new ones in that it'll tolerate the heat.
And then you look at the radar and I just
check it on your screen. There's another big old bunch
coming yep. Western os H County kind of kind of
piling up a little bit out there.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
So oh yeah, look at that.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
So here we go.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
Well we might get some rain today, so at least
just save us some water.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
Get Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
Anyway, the para winkless, a heavy bloomer, is a heat tolerant.
It likes full sun, maybe just a little bit of shade,
but a good thing about it is no bugs, no
body insects don't like it. The bad thing is if
we have a cool spell with a lot of rain,
stem rock, real bad. So you might have an issue
(40:47):
with that maybe, But as time goes on in July like.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
This, just put it this year. The next six years
ought to be good.
Speaker 10 (40:53):
For it.
Speaker 3 (40:56):
And our pent perennial of the week is hardy have biscuits.
Oh yeah, well heard of hibiscuits as a member of
the hibiscus family is actually it's an American native. It's
been hybridizing all that to have different bloom glasts some
of my house that I planted, and big red flowers
on them. A nice yeah. Actually they're very cold hearty
(41:16):
and very drought tolerant too. I don't I don't have
to water them.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
They're just good that way.
Speaker 3 (41:24):
They have a heavy upward system where they and they're
they're in full bloom right now. Very very showy, actually
I bet they are, so you might consider give it
some room to grow a hearty hibiscus. They's get six
feet tall the ones I have, and big red flowers
on them, big as a dinner plate. Really kind of nice.
Speaker 1 (41:43):
Yeah, cool.
Speaker 3 (41:44):
So they have a bloom time if you will, so
when they're done blooming, you'll have pufully some other plants
around them.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
That's why you got to go to an expert like
Larry to make sure you, Hey, we got a five
minute break or something like that. We've got to take
right now, so we'll be back after this five minute
time out.

Jane Phillips and Bartlesville Frank Phillips, the old man with
barred wired nerves and the courage of a wolf, didn't
realize his own capacity to love until after the death
of his dear wife Jane in nineteen forty eight.
Speaker 17 (42:41):
He no longer heard her laughter in the mansion in town,
nor enjoyed the long drives out to his beloved Woolarock,
where they would often go to share an evening dinner.
After her death, he found himself waking to the cold
reality of her absence and confided to others that his
soul ached.
Speaker 16 (42:58):
More and more of.
Speaker 17 (42:59):
Frank's time being spent at the ranch, sitting on the
front porch of the lodge and enjoying the magnificent view
and likely reflecting back on an incredible life of personal
and professional accomplishments. However, without his wife in the chair
next to him, these simple joys became shallow to Uncle Frank.
After her death, those around Frank soon discovered that he
(43:19):
had one desire, and that was to build a masolem
at Woolloarroock to serve as a final resting place for
Jane and himself. He had picked out the spot years before,
a favorite spot that overlooked one of the beautiful lakes
that dotted the grounds of the ranch. Inspired by the
memorial built for his good friend Will Rogers and Claremore,
the mausolem soon became the primary focus of Frank's life.
(43:41):
Once construction started on the mausolem in nineteen forty nine,
he personally came out every day to see how work
was progressing. Frank wanted it within walking distance of the lodge,
yet not directly in the public eye, which is why
he chose the site above Elk Lake, one of his
favorite fishing holes at Willarock. Built of native stone with
no cut edges, the tomb appeared to spring from the
(44:03):
side of the hill as if it was part of
the terrain. Workmen blasted through eighteen feet of solid rock
to form the burial chamber, and the twenty four square
foot room was lined with a twelve inch steel reinforced
concrete wall. The chamber was air conditioned and a telephone
was installed inside. The mausolem is a circular rotunda outlined
(44:24):
by eight columns of Saint Cecilia marble imported from Italy,
which rises ten feet to a dome. The walls are
covered with thousands of mosaic tiles, and in the center
of the room is an eight pointed star formed by
the different shades of marble. Construction took about a year,
and as soon as it was completed, Frank had Jane's
casket brought from White Rose Cemetery and a memorial service
(44:46):
was held at the new mausolem. To his friends and staff.
Mister Phillips seemed happier than at any time in recent years.
His final work was completed and he could return to
the porch of the lodge, which he did his death
on August twenty third, nineteen fifty. The magic of Woollarock
is a story worth sharing and it can be found
(45:07):
everywhere at this national treasure. Come see it for yourself
and welcome home to Wollarock.

he is our expert hero and Green Country Gardener. Our

(00:29):

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Well.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Interesting week. We've had just about all all forms of
the spring summer with the water and heat.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
I'm surprised you guys didn't try to sneak in a
little bit of snow with it.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
That would have been nice. I mean, really, that would
have taken the edge.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Off I guess though.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Yeah, I couldn't mind that button, you know.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Yeah, the blue one's gone. Yeah. Well anyway, really it's
getting to be at the heat of summer and kind
of a time, but there's still some things to be
done in the landscape. Okay, so, uh tink caterpillars. I
haven't seen very many of them this year, you know,
the up in the trees. Yeah, big.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Do you think the kind of radical weather we've been
having had anything to do with that?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
I think so. It's it's been actually it's a fairy
cool spring so and and their their populations sort of
come and go. If you look around, you see a
few of them here and there. But it's not got
it that one year it looks like Halloween all over town.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yeah, they all moved in here, good barlows.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
We got default he is. But I think it's it's
kind of a cyclical thing, so we'll probably see some,
but by now we should have seen some. So if
you do have them, Actually, the Selpy water soapy water
works were real well, quite well. Actually yes on tink
caterpillars exactly Calley, but they actually did that. When they're
(02:05):
in the caterpillar stage like that have a very high
rate of metabolism and it doesn't take them long with
smother out when you wash them down some some soapy
water a hose in spray works pretty well, or just
a regular pump up sprayer, just some dish soap, very
effective on them. Actually, MIC's h also might be a
(02:26):
bit of a problem, so look very closely at your
great myrtles. You're bringing bush too. It can get some mics.
Almost everything you can get in box woods especially get mics.
So what you do with the box woods is at
the end of the day or when it's when they're
not in the full sun. I spray mine down with
the dish soap in a hose in sprayer and.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Then you rinse it clean.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
You rent clean, you spray it. I leave on home
for about an hour and then go back and there
rent it off and it usually does a pretty job
take care of the mics, and there's no residual action
to that. It's harmless. So if anything, your box was
a pretty all the dust off of them, squeaky clean
box was so anyway, that works, are good for mices too,
(03:12):
but make sure to uh spray it off with some
with some clean water so it doesn't cause problem. Okay,
tomatoes also might be getting some too. It hadn't really
been that hot yet for the mic populations to really
just explode, so I don't see a lot of them
at my house or other people's houses really, so it
(03:33):
was probably I'm going to be all right with that
this year. So it seems clear this year than normal.
We've not hit one hundred yet.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
No, that's strange. I've lived here for six years. Yeah,
I can't remember summer where it didn't get into the
deep bake of over one hundred for.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
We had one. We had one seven years ago.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Oh we did well. I went around for that one,
just like this year. So cyclic.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Yeah, it has to do with all this stuff and
outer space whatever. So also we've had quite a bit
of rain this year too, so it's saving a lot
on irrigation and the systematic operation of irrigation systems is up.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Here we go, and we're gonna have a weather warning
here in just a little bit. We kind of get
the heads up just before they go live.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
And well, that's kind of clouding up to the north there,
so we just might get a little bit of stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah, here covers the National Weather Service in a moment.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Well you'll get it here in a second here folks, okay,
and the rain it is causing here we go what.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
And and once again it's the fly flood warning. Two
regions to our stream south and we're still within our
loasting area. And that's why we carry the watches in
mornings because everyone is important, no matter where you live.
If you can hear our voice, we're here to keep
you ahead of the storm. All right, it's eight fifteen.
It's the Green Country Gardenment Program.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
I remember I said it was clambering up a little bit. Well,
I just popped on the radar this thing and this
building up in Central Osage County.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yep. We are probably going to be in for one
or two rounds today and tonight.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Kaboom. And it looks like west of thirty five starting
to pile up a little bit too. So yeah, well, anyway,
good get out for Eliza grass, real quick.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Quick confusion this afternoon.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
If you don't want it, terrain for light of grass, Yeah,
it works every time. If you do want to rain,
wash the car exactly where sending this, Buy a bunch
of panzies, art up pansies with flowers and things, and
it'll rain for sure. Oh golly, all these little things
that happen makes it whatever. Anyway, Yeah, it's just when
(05:57):
I was driving over here coming, I was looking to
the northwest and looks like it's piling up a little bit.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
We do, we do have.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
There's some just just a little bit right up the
husky really looks like kind of heading this way. So
so anyway, get ready for that. So if you haven't fertilized,
you're long in a while, you might consider doing that
before it does rain, and do yourself a favor. Definitely,
maybe it'll maybe it won't rain anyway, So it is
(06:27):
time to on a monthly basis apply some fertilizer to
the bermuda grass. Also, it's time to raise it up
all the way up in the lawnmower and make sure
those blades are good and sharp.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Oh yeah, because especially sticking wet as the grass has
been lately.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
I got people jards and the grass that the tips
of it are shredded, and it makes for a kind
of an unsightly appearance. So grass looks kind of sick.
I said, what do we need to do? Sharping your
long ord blade that's all you? Yeah, that will help
it a whole lot. And so to check it out,
if you do have shredded tips on your grass, perhaps
(07:04):
you might want to take the blade off and sharpen.
Make sure to balance it too. I have this little
tools look like a top, and you put the blade
on it and it but my daughter, when she was young,
you used to used to play with it and make
I just let her, you know, it was like, but
I never did lose my blade balance her. And I
(07:25):
think over every time a bounce my lumbow. Yeah, so anyway,
so go ahead and sharpen it. And also you know
they do wear out, so you might be getting another
one perhaps, but they work so much more efficiently with
a sharp blade they do, so okay. Also, your grass,
if it's not really greening up like you want to,
(07:47):
there might be a pH issue. Perhaps some parts of
town the soul tends to be a little acid, and
some parts of town so it can be somewhat alkaline.
So if you're not getting really green, you might consider
having a soil test. Hey, before you spend all this
money on water and fertilizers and da da da d D,
you might want to know exactly where you stand chemically
(08:10):
on your yard before spending all the money. It didn't
cost much, or extension agent will do that for you,
or you can get a we I think we have
some litmus tests the dustry, and I know they got
them at the big Buck stores too, where you can
actually test your soil and you get a pretty good
idea where it's going. And so you need before you
really do something like changing the pH or something, you
(08:32):
need a basis for which to make a decision on that.
And knowing your soil pH your soil chemistry is a
good way to do that. Then you see your neighbor's yard,
it's very beautiful, you know all that. Well, they hire
somebody to do it, whether they do the same thing.
They check the chemistry and respond to it, so you
just don't see them doing no. So that's for that.
(08:54):
That's kind of the same thing with always of grass
right now, fescue grass, if you have festque, it should
be rather tall at this point too, because they need
that surface area for a bapple transporation to help keep
it cool. It also shades the ground so it doesn't
get so hot. And when you do water when you irrigate,
make sure you have a dry spell between irrigation too.
(09:17):
Don't keep it constantly wet, constantly wet. What that does
just creates a very shallow root system because the grass
doesn't have to reach it down for the water, and
then it becomes addicted to water. So you have to
you have to train it. Yeah, I have to train
it and make them go down with deeper work for
it so for it, yes, so well that they'll give
(09:43):
you more of a of an area of absorption. When
you do water, you can water and get it you know,
down deep, so it'll it'll stay down there and let
it dry out a little between the waterings. For here
we go again.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
All right, folks, we're going to get another weather I'll
alert here and just a little bit. Wouldn't be a
bit surprised if they include Osage County and on this one.
But we'll wait to see what the National Weather Service
has to say about the flood watches. In mornings, we
are under a flood watch here. We have mornings later
(10:26):
and once again we're keeping you ahead of the store,
especially if you live into the southernmost counties of our
listening area. We are also monitoring some development looks like
in Osage County at the very southern tip and also
near four Acre and also a little bit back on
the Kansas side a little still to our west of
(10:47):
our listening areas, but we're keeping an eye on it.
We're going to take a quick greg for words from
our sponsors, and we will be right back after this
three minute time out.

United Rentals welcome back to the Green Country Gardener program
and say twenty six our phone line is hoping you
can speak with Larry are expert and one eight hundred
seven nine three six between weather warnings.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Really yeah, Actually, on with the rain, we've we've had
the plants to kind of kind of become dependent on
the shallow water available and some of them don't have
we got a collar and some of them, some of
them don't have a deep root system. So when you
do water, you don't discourage that from happening, and water
(14:35):
them fairly deeply in the ground and it doesn't hurt
them to wilt just a little bit between watering.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Let them just kind of say help me please.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
I said, no, no, I don't discipline you. You're gonna
have some deep roots here.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
You.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
That's what I do to my stuff. It's got it's
got it. I got a dog with in the back
of that's just begging for rain, and I said, this time,
I don't know, you need to get some. It's down
into there. So but it's actually it's a sibling of
the big one. The big dog would treat that we
transplanted from the front yard twenty five years ago. So
(15:13):
it seemed quite well, okay, dog woods are actually speaking
of those, they're starting to begin to produce the blooms
in the spring. So whatever you do, don't cut them
back at this point.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Oh, you don't want to do that.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
The blooms will beginning. The tips are differentiating from leaves
to blooms, and it's a respond a response rather of
the shortening of the day.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Sure, so we had the fastest day on record yesterday.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Yeah, the earth.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Sped up for a little bit about a second past.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Oh yeah, I felt that too.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Hick my breath away.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Anyway, at the nursery, We've got some sales going a
Rosa Sharon Rosa Sharon is, hibiscuits, suriakids and it's thirty
percent off. We have some African policies that are on sale.
Japanese maples are on sale too, tind to plant folds.
We have a few Climatis vines and they're thirty percent off.
Hydrangees a thirty percent off perennials or a dollar off,
(16:11):
and person lane hanging baskets. Got some really nicely in
person lane handing hanging baskets. They're like five bucks off.
So roses themselves are a half price, and fakes blueberries
blackberries are forty percent off too. Some stuff on sale.
And you know, we've had some really good weather this year,
(16:32):
so I don't see why you really don't want to
plant something. You just have to monitor it a little
bit and not over water it and it'll do just fine.
We were at a project we finish up, and the
customer wanted to know, do we need to water this more?
And I said, absolutely not, because it's captured by the
driveway and I'll smell that and I stuck my finger
(16:53):
in the ground and there's why it's it's the moisture
is really good, really good, so you don't have to
worry about watering. And on that particular circuit of the
irrigation system, you want to go ahead and program it
to run on its own, maybe once a week, twice
a week, rather than as you do on your long
(17:15):
perhaps maybe a little bit further apart water and just
to let it dry out. By letting it dry out
a little bit like that, it prevents the fungal growth
in root rot and so on. Yeah, our soil here
tends to be a little bit on the heavy side,
and even though we might put in tons and tons
(17:36):
of compost in the soil, it's still kind of tight
down deeper than that. So the percolation rate rather low
in a lot of parts of towns too. So if
you do a bed, the soil is looser in that bed.
It tends to act like a sort of a post,
if you will, because of the rates of percolation being
(17:56):
greater in the soil you have and lesser than the
soil around it. So the water doesn't seep down around
us quickly, which is a common problem people have. You
plant these trees and either they don't water them enough,
or they water them too much the lean and they
kind of die, yeah, either from a root rod or
(18:20):
a lack of water actually, So you just have to
kind of check themsels and develop a schedule because I
can't develop a schedule because there's so many variables in
the equation. You have temperature, wind, you have the precipitation,
soil type, all the other things like that that you
have to account for when you're trying to determine a
(18:41):
watering schedule for something. So my best solution just water
when he gets dry, very simple, easy, and it'll tell
you if it needs water because the leaves will wilt
a little bit. And then when they do wilt, go
ahead and water fairly heavily, so the water goes down
fairly deep and they'll pop back up and when they
drop game it's time to water. Then you'll be able
(19:01):
to develop a schedule based on that. So using your
watch or your clock on the wall or whatever you
calendar of water, it's just just not the way to
do it because there's so many variables in the equation.
It's got to be visual, and yeah, you have to
look at your plant and see if it needs water,
and then water pretty heavily. Then you want to do
this much. So your people ask me how often do
(19:23):
I water this tree? I said, when he gets dry?
And when you plant a newly planet a tree, you
want to put some mulch over the top. We got
done with a big project where the planeted a lot
of trees and we put steel edging around them and
mulch in there. And I was checking out the soil
it's got it's getting a little bit dry, and I
(19:45):
checked the water level down. Fine, you don't need water.
That three inches of molch does an awful lot conserve water.
So keep that in mind too. There are some planting
practices you can implement in order to not have to
water just so much all the time. Understood. And also
(20:07):
we put in a sprinkler system and and a timer
that monitors the National Weather Service and it and then
you enter criteria soil type, plant type, slope. You have
to get all the ingredients in there, all the you
enter all that all that criteria into the algorithms there.
(20:29):
Algorithms in there will generate the schedule and it'll change,
like we have all this radar coming in and it'll
shut you down.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
There it comes.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
You don't need water, buddy, so it'll uh, it'll stop it.
And also that gets really dry, it'll water a little
bit more, so it kind of responds environmentally to that.
So that might be a consideration when doing a sprinker
system is too and is to have a timer like
that or it makes it real good. When Rainberd makes
them two uh some of them though, you gotta you gotta,
(21:07):
And we've had to swap out a few because they
they change their motive in there and doesn't do two
point five G anymore. No, and some of them are
five point h and some of them five and two
point oh, but some of the older ones, and Rainberd
needs to update their stuff to make it five G compatible.
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
So because that's where everybody's going.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Everybody's going to that. Yeah, what's the next one?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
What G or something something like that.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
We're gonna so we need to make sure, you know,
if you do want to get an Internet best timer,
it's to know your your router so it'll it'll tap
into the Weather Service.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
It'll work just fine. You gonna take a little bit
of a break, Leary, We're going to be right back
after this three minute time out.

Back a Green Country Gardener program. Our phone lane is
open at three six. Larry Glasses are expert. Larry, what's
next on the agenda.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Let's say trees. Yes, trees, make them work in the landscape,
make them like like for instance you were mentioning earlier,
somebody planted a pino tree too close to the driveway
and it makes for a moove art a broken pavement.
So you want to if you want some a tree
kind of close to that, you might consider maybe a
smaller tree. Yeah, because pino something they get about as
(25:51):
big a round as this room and huge and the
root system the pinoaks actually are indigenous to a lowland
areas and because of that day a fairly shallow root system.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
You don't have to go deeper water right there.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
In response to anaerobic soil. So the physiology is set
up for that kind of thing. Now, something like a
northern red oical work pretty well. An English oak and
a white oak actually is a real good tree. Actually
it doesn't get oakropted. That pretty cool tree. They have
an interesting bark and so very deep it's too. So
(26:25):
there are some good trees out there that they'll do that.
We've planted a lot of English oaks here in town,
some of the upright ones. And in a situation where
you're kind of into a place where there's just not
a lot of room it is, but you want a tree,
but you want one that's where the upright English oak
where because rob Fastigiata comes in in.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
We got that too.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
We have some at the nursery too, you do. And
also another tree is a Chinese fustache as quite well.
It has a good deep root system. And I planted
one years ago on the west side of the driveway.
Actual dug it up out of the yard and now
it's a big old tree. Trunk's a bigger around and
it shades my old pickup truck when I come home.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
See how he made it work for you.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
And there's grass growing right up to it, and it
shades the and doesn't buckle the cement. It's twenty feet away,
fifteen twenty feet away from the driveway. It won't cause
any problem. So it's pretty cool too. So there are
some trees out there that you can plant that won't
tear up your pavement and or drought tolerant, and they
give us some afternoon shade. Imagine that's why the oak
(27:33):
tree is pinted there for some afternoon shade. And there
are some that will grow without having to buckle the
pavement and cause problems with seeds and acorns and who
knows what else coming out of the tree. Another one
is the Chinese elm. Kind of the same thing as
a pistache as far as sides is concerned. And they
(27:56):
have a very small leaf that kind of blows away
in the wind in the fall easily, and actually the
leaves decomposed pretty quickly on the on the elm. And
now Dutch alm does' eat that's usually what they know.
They don't get it. Yeah, the Dutch alm is for
American elms things like that, not the Chinese. They don't
get that. They make actually excellent street trees. There's a
(28:19):
lot of them planted downtown. So they do make good
street trees. Need that very well to harsh environments, as
you will, So you might consider maybe that one also
as a tree close to the driveway or something. But
if you're going to put a tree close to a pool,
you want to make sure you get a male pustache,
(28:42):
so they don't they don't litter anything. The females are
kind of messy, you know. And another one that's kind
of slow growing is the ginkgo tree. There's a probably
one of the best trees you can have, and uh,
they don't litter anything. Typically, the ones that are available
(29:02):
in the market, or the male ones, not the females.
They're cloned, if you will, so they don't have all
these obnoxious, smelly fruits on them. So it's a good
tree to have also, but it's kind of slow growing.
So if you're new to town and you're fairly young,
you might want to plan a kinkle tree.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
By the time you're retired. It's hey, that's a good look.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
My neighbor behind me has a beautiful one, and if
she moves away, it's kind of close to the house.
I would hate to have somebody come in and cut
that down. There'll be a tragedy. Yeah, But anyway, so
there are some trees out there that will work in
a tight, difficult situation, and there's a lot of them
(29:44):
out there that won't work. So we can we can
supply that information for you, give you some choices for
trees to pick out. Okay, shrubs also, there's just so
many of them available out there. They do someth many
different things. They exhibit color, either seasonal color or leaf color.
(30:06):
For instance, the blue rug juniper, the or the you know,
there's some red leaf shrubs too. It be anything from
barbaris to create myrtle and create myrtles that have a
real plum purple color leaf on them, and they they're
starting to turn red right now, so they're kind of
pretty too. It give me some color in the landscape,
(30:26):
not only with the flowers but the leave also. So
when doing your landscape competition, you do something you know
for some specimen enteres like that, and keep in mind
also that the landscape has to look good pretty much
all year round. It does, so you just don't want
to use hydrangeas and deciduous shrubs because in the wintertime
(30:47):
it looks like the land that time forgot. So you
might want to blend in just some evergreen backdrop plants
in with your landscape competition, so it does look nice
in January as well as in you know July or
June in August, so a blending of the two different
kinds which work very well. And there's several varieties of
(31:09):
Nandina's people. Oh no, they spread no, no, they don't.
They don't spread everywhere, not the new ones. And probably
one of my favorites is the obsession Nandia has a
real purple plumb purple leaves on it, really attractive and
it's evergreen. So and of course the dwarf Nandina is
(31:29):
a good workhorse in the landscape. If you get some
good afternoon sun, it turns a bright red color in
the winter, so you have these bright red leaves. So
that's kind of all season interests. You don't want to
make an entire composition of these plants. They use them
in bits and pieces and kind of a four plant
(31:50):
if you will, in front of a boxer or something
to give you some color change in the wintertime. Okay,
so there you go. So keep in mind our environment
over here just rather hot and drying the summertime. Keep
in mind bugs.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
They happen that week.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
You don't want to be outspraying all this stuff all
the time. Have keep in mind how big these plants
are going to get in relation to your house and
how sharp your your shares are too.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Got to keep that.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
So a lot of the plants that are prefaced by
the word dwarf, we're working a lot of landscapes in
people's yards.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
All right, we're gonna have to take a break. Now,
we're going to be back after this three minute time out.
Speaker 5 (32:36):

work every day, leaving her in the hands of somebody
else struggling day by day to get by.

In this station, welcome back to the Green Country Gardener Program.
It's a eight forty seven and our phone line is
opening one eight hundred seven four nine five ninety three six.
Our expert is Larry Glass. Larry, what do we have
coming up next?
Speaker 6 (35:47):
People?
Speaker 3 (35:48):
They asked me how to I gear to crabgrass in
the grass? Now my yard is I got rid of it.
It came back. That happens a lot. I know, mark
came back. I didn't put down for timing. Oh you
do that in March. Put it down before, by the way.
Well yeah, well some people, uh, actually it's all I have.
(36:11):
Like the next door neighbor, all he has this craggrass,
but one to the south is beautiful. Oh it's beautiful.
It looks like a pudding green. Perfect. And then you
go across the street it's horrible. And mine's kind of
stuck between these two yards.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
So you're out there with Larry's claw ham.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
Claw hammer. That's what I got to do tomorrow afternoon.
Just get in there and get all my hands and
knees and dig up some of that stuff. Some of
that's this big, old heavy stuff. It's just giant crabgrass,
plants gay. This is the year, all the rain, it's
been the year for these craggrass to really grow.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Why do some people call that water grass? Is that
because it pulls a lot of water?
Speaker 3 (36:52):
I guess so it uses up a lot of water maybe. Anyway,
So at this point in time, the the herber side.
But there are some like the burbicides for the crabgrass,
but it's gone to seed right now, so they won't work.
So you missed the boat. So those big ones that
are about.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
One hundred year old snapping hurdle pull the camera.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
Actually, for for the last three years we have really
not had the rain we've had this year, and it's
been difficult and expensive actually to water along.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
So I've gone from the lakes being down to a
mud puddle to now being.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
Like overflowing cattle skulls.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
Like fish hit hiking to the next puddle, a little
stick and a bag over and you know, yeah out
of here, Yeah, hiking along the ring.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
But no different this year. I remember we did a
project and when the reservoir about ran out of water
and and we had to you know, test fire the
sprinker system and they cut the pressure. Ye it's working fine.
Now there you go. So so we're getting crab in
(38:09):
the grass right now. There's nothing you can do about
it but physically remove it.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
Uh so uh.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
And and listen to us in March April, we'll talk
about pro diamine and stuff that's a pre emergent control
and it's very effective. Actually, it doesn't. Doesn't bring good
job of controlling it, so you might consider doing that
next next year. Doing it in the fall won't do
any good if you do. Your pre emergence later on
in the fall are good for the spring blooming weeds
(38:38):
such a henbit and chick weed and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
Those are.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
Yeah, Actually they start coming in in over so so
we're a couple of months away before you want to
do that, So I wouldn't worry about it right now.
But yeah, and you could do some actually some spot
spray applications, a round up where you get like a
tube or a pipe or something and spray down the tube,
(39:02):
but it doesn't spray out and that will selectfully. Then
you'll have all these little you look like a leopard lawn. Yeah,
but thereat grass will fill in.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
It will. It will take a little bit, but it'll
get there.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
So I don't think, really, really people don't care too
much about crabgrass.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
I think I think they've learned to live with it,
to be quite honestly. From where I live.
Speaker 3 (39:24):
Well, make sure the blower is good and sharp and
the carburetor is in good shafe. Yeah, it'll be Fun'll
pick it all up and grind it up.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
Jeez.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
Anyway, annual the week this week is parawinkle. We do
have some parawinkles still for sale as the nursery, and
they are a tropical pero. It takes the heat, takes
the heat real well, so you don't want to plant
these when it's cool. And we have we have had
a kind of a cool spring and a little that
one too, and the pair of winkles don't like.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
Cool wet weather, no they don't. So they're just funny that.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
If you plant a time and they didn't make it,
well we still have something, and then we can replace
you put new ones in that it'll tolerate the heat.
And then you look at the radar and I just
check it on your screen. There's another big old bunch
coming yep. Western os H County kind of kind of
piling up a little bit out there.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
So oh yeah, look at that.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
So here we go.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
Well we might get some rain today, so at least
just save us some water.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
Get Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
Anyway, the para winkless, a heavy bloomer, is a heat tolerant.
It likes full sun, maybe just a little bit of shade,
but a good thing about it is no bugs, no
body insects don't like it. The bad thing is if
we have a cool spell with a lot of rain,
stem rock, real bad. So you might have an issue
(40:47):
with that maybe, But as time goes on in July like.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
This, just put it this year. The next six years
ought to be good.
Speaker 10 (40:53):
For it.
Speaker 3 (40:56):
And our pent perennial of the week is hardy have biscuits.
Oh yeah, well heard of hibiscuits as a member of
the hibiscus family is actually it's an American native. It's
been hybridizing all that to have different bloom glasts some
of my house that I planted, and big red flowers
on them. A nice yeah. Actually they're very cold hearty
(41:16):
and very drought tolerant too. I don't I don't have
to water them.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
They're just good that way.
Speaker 3 (41:24):
They have a heavy upward system where they and they're
they're in full bloom right now. Very very showy, actually
I bet they are, so you might consider give it
some room to grow a hearty hibiscus. They's get six
feet tall the ones I have, and big red flowers
on them, big as a dinner plate. Really kind of nice.
Speaker 1 (41:43):
Yeah, cool.
Speaker 3 (41:44):
So they have a bloom time if you will, so
when they're done blooming, you'll have pufully some other plants
around them.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
That's why you got to go to an expert like
Larry to make sure you, Hey, we got a five
minute break or something like that. We've got to take
right now, so we'll be back after this five minute
time out.

Jane Phillips and Bartlesville Frank Phillips, the old man with
barred wired nerves and the courage of a wolf, didn't
realize his own capacity to love until after the death
of his dear wife Jane in nineteen forty eight.
Speaker 17 (42:41):
He no longer heard her laughter in the mansion in town,
nor enjoyed the long drives out to his beloved Woolarock,
where they would often go to share an evening dinner.
After her death, he found himself waking to the cold
reality of her absence and confided to others that his
soul ached.
Speaker 16 (42:58):
More and more of.
Speaker 17 (42:59):
Frank's time being spent at the ranch, sitting on the
front porch of the lodge and enjoying the magnificent view
and likely reflecting back on an incredible life of personal
and professional accomplishments. However, without his wife in the chair
next to him, these simple joys became shallow to Uncle Frank.
After her death, those around Frank soon discovered that he
(43:19):
had one desire, and that was to build a masolem
at Woolloarroock to serve as a final resting place for
Jane and himself. He had picked out the spot years before,
a favorite spot that overlooked one of the beautiful lakes
that dotted the grounds of the ranch. Inspired by the
memorial built for his good friend Will Rogers and Claremore,
the mausolem soon became the primary focus of Frank's life.
(43:41):
Once construction started on the mausolem in nineteen forty nine,
he personally came out every day to see how work
was progressing. Frank wanted it within walking distance of the lodge,
yet not directly in the public eye, which is why
he chose the site above Elk Lake, one of his
favorite fishing holes at Willarock. Built of native stone with
no cut edges, the tomb appeared to spring from the
(44:03):
side of the hill as if it was part of
the terrain. Workmen blasted through eighteen feet of solid rock
to form the burial chamber, and the twenty four square
foot room was lined with a twelve inch steel reinforced
concrete wall. The chamber was air conditioned and a telephone
was installed inside. The mausolem is a circular rotunda outlined
(44:24):
by eight columns of Saint Cecilia marble imported from Italy,
which rises ten feet to a dome. The walls are
covered with thousands of mosaic tiles, and in the center
of the room is an eight pointed star formed by
the different shades of marble. Construction took about a year,
and as soon as it was completed, Frank had Jane's
casket brought from White Rose Cemetery and a memorial service
(44:46):
was held at the new mausolem. To his friends and staff.
Mister Phillips seemed happier than at any time in recent years.
His final work was completed and he could return to
the porch of the lodge, which he did his death
on August twenty third, nineteen fifty. The magic of Woollarock
is a story worth sharing and it can be found
(45:07):
everywhere at this national treasure. Come see it for yourself
and welcome home to Wollarock.

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.
