Speaker 1 (00:05):
And good morning, good morning, good morning, welcome, welcome, welcome
time for the Green Country Gardener Program. And our phone
line is open at one eight hundred and seven four
nine five nine.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
At three six. Our host is Larry Glass. I'm Tom.
I just answered the phones. He knows a few things.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
By golly, how you doing there, old knowledgeable one doing?
Speaker 3 (00:24):
It's fine? Actually, thank you? Yeah, yeah, I've got quite
a workout yesterday. But what did you do with some
caps on a few projects?
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Very good?
Speaker 2 (00:34):
The weather has been very nice for you. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Can't you guys do something about the temperature though?
Speaker 1 (00:40):
What it was fine? I know that it's getting a
little bit more like summer.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Again, yeah I know. And it's allergy season too, bike,
I found thirty day flu. Got jeez, you know what
it takes just to get out a bit?
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Oh my goodness. So what's happening in the lawn and
in the garden.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
It follows in the air, So get to work. The
pansins have popped up and ready to be planted. Right now.
We have fallen moms with color just about to burst
anywhere from the four inch to the six inch pot side.
So little ones and big ones and so on. And
we have something to fit your needs as far as
color and sizes, control on the mums. So time to
(01:21):
get that shovel out, get her done, sharper that shovel,
get that ground all dug up. I know in our
soil here, a sharp shovel is definitely an attribute.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Yes it is.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
It's a necessity that a couple of boots too.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Yeah, maybe some blasting caps.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Help a little bit too. Sometimes I think that's just
we go to these houses and you just shovel just
bounces off the ground anyway, So that's part of it.
You get the tailor out there a little bit through it. Okay,
but I busted through a few taillers too, My goodness,
(02:00):
they just wear out. Just go buy another one.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Oh okay, maybe you're killing a stone corey.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Well, it is Barlasville. We also have a flowering kail
and the flowering cabbage as well. It's really nice looking
flowering cabbage plants up there. And they they'll turn colors
once it gets cooler. Right now, they're just sort of
a green color, the cool bluish green color. But they'll
(02:26):
they'll change to reds and yellows and white and so on.
And the purple tube and give you some good color,
but saved by the front door somewhere. You don't need
a whole bunch of them, just a few of them,
just to give you some interest there by the house.
Those are coming too, so it's still a little early though.
You might get a few bugs on them, these little caterpillars,
(02:47):
they just love that stuff. Or somebody with some coalsall
dressing and the knife and the fork and.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Might coattion them, to my goodness.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
So anyway, so the fall color coming on right now.
Also time to plants and trees also, and we're getting
those in at a pretty good rate right now. You're
a Chinese fistache or red maples, et cetera, et cetera.
They're arriving at the nursery. We put them on them
on the drip lines and you know, keep them well
watered for you and all that too. Landscaping is busy.
(03:21):
We completed three projects this week and golly, there's just
so many to do on the horizon right now. So
it has been a bit of a tortuous summer a bit,
as I know, and we're getting try to get caught
up and all that too. So like everybody else. Anyway,
it's a good time to plant the trees. Remember the
(03:43):
spacey rules of planting trees. Got it you as asks
at the nursery, how big does this tree get? Do
is they get ten feet wide? Thirty feet wide for
defeet white? How wide does this tree get? And keep
that in mind when we're placing it in the lane escape.
How far away from the house doesn't need to be.
Do you want it to rattle when the wind blows
(04:05):
and wake you up at night or do you want
it to be far away enough to where it won't
be a problem so close to the house. So those
factors have to play in the when looking in tree.
Also consider your drainage patterns too. Where does the water
drain around the house. And if you put a tree
right in the middle of the drainage swell, it'll probably
(04:27):
just die from ret rot. But the root mass, if
it does survive, will swell up the ground around it
because you got an increasing mass in there and it
has to be displaced somewhere. And typically the soil is
displaced upwards as a result of the increased mass of
(04:48):
the root system, and a lot of people's houses have
a very critical drainage pattern to them. And if this
tree is in the drainage pattern near the drainage pattern,
it will block that and cause a backup of water.
Then you just open the front door of the back door,
let the water run through in the rain.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
So keep that of mind. Also also utilities. Where does
the water line come into the house, Where does the
stewer line go out of the house. This is information
that when you purchase the house that should be provided
so you know where it is, and then you can
avoid those locations too. Because if you do plant a
(05:30):
tree on top of a water line and it goes kupuitz. Yeah,
the tree all of a sudden starts growing real fast
along with your water bill. You wonder what is going on. Well,
let's see three feet this year and my back account
has dropped three so yeah, So keep that in mind.
(05:53):
Also keep it away from pavement and away from utility
lines to paralyze and so on, and keep it out
of drainage patterns on all those criteria are met. Also
keep it away from the house fifteen twenty feet away
from the house too. Probably in your property line. It's
probably a little area about that big yep.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Tree, we can pinpoint it for you.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
And then once that happens, you got to decide, well,
what do I want this tree to do? Do you
want to shay the house? Do you want it to
just to be an accent? You want some fall color,
you want some spring blooms on it. All these factories
had to play into there to pick out a variety
of tree to plant. So it's not as simple as
you think.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
No, that's why we got you.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
I want that one. So helps sometimes if you do
make a map of your property and then go ahead
and mark on that map where you tell those lines are,
you'd be surprised if you do a ten foot area
away from the house, ten fed area away from all
the paving, ten feet away from the yeah, water lane
coming into the house, and tinted away from the power
(07:03):
lane coming in the house. It'll kind of tell you
where you can plant one there. You go, so cool.
So any trees there, we got them coming in just
by the truck load. Whenever they'reever they come in and
we're ready to sell, you can also have this plant
it for you too. That's a lot and it extends
(07:26):
the guarantee on it also, so good to know Okay,
So the Chinese pistache is our tree of the week,
and it's becoming a very popular tree.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Actually it should be. You got one in your yard. Yeah,
that was.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Growing in the backyard at a crack of the concrete
and I pulled it up planted it in the mud.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
See the tree, see theo.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
And yeah, it's huge. You can see it from out
of space. It shades my old truck in the afternoon
when you get home from work. Oh so it's I
did planet a little close to the house, but it's
about fifteen feet away from the house and it's a
little close. You got a little bigger than I thought
it would, not really knowing what variety it was or
(08:13):
guess and so on, it grew. It just got out
the loppers and that so anyway, generally an upright oval
shaped tree, it's moderately growing to about forty feet tall
and about thirty feet wide, and it typically exhibits excellent
red fault color. It's a primary attribute of the tree.
(08:34):
This one color is up most reliable.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
So most of the factors affecting fault color color have
a little you know, variability on my time, temperature and
so on. This one just changes color basically regardless of
what it does, unless we have an early frost and
all the leave just fall off.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
So what's happened now, It happens the cold of the nights,
the more vibrant the colors. Of course, it's a very
deeply rooted and it's structured to tolerate our storms and ice.
In other words, that this tree is in the front
yard and I live on top of a gravel pit,
(09:14):
and I don't have any roots coming up anywhere, so
that they're down into the.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Soil right over there pretty well exactly. It's a good
tree for tough urban sites. A lot of them are
used downtown but too so these are very it's a
very tolerant tree. It does not like poor drainage. If
there's an area where water sits when it rains, it's
it won't it won't make it, so keep that in mind. Also,
(09:43):
it's dioecious. Male and female on separate plants too, And
if typically you want to ask for a male clone
kind of reminds me of Woody Allen Sleeper, but I saw.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
That movie that I have yet.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
So anyway, but you want to try to get one
of those otherwise it's a fifty to fifty chance male
or females. Anyway, the females are still they still color
up nice too, but they have seeds on them. So anyway,
it's a good, good overall trade to be planned to
run here because it doesn't have a wide variety of
tolerance as far as where it's planet is concerned and
(10:23):
the conditions, so it can tolerate varying soil types and
conditions and still prosper. If it'll grow in a cutout
in the curb in the street, it'll more than likely
grow in your rocky backyard.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Where no bugs, no bugs. Well, yeah, look how strong
it is. I mean it's yeah, it's like the truck
dorsh of trees exactly. But it's somewhat ugly when it's young.
So when you see them at the nursery when it's small,
we all, yeah, really, I was so ugly when I
was a kid.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
I still am. But hey, I have to agree with that.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
I tell you what, it's a lot better than my folks.
For my birthday, my father took me to the zoo.
I said, what are we going to see, say, your
birth parents?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
But the tree when they're young, they're all gangly and
you're not going to get a straight now one size
of Chinese pistache that really sells real well. It's a
thirty gallon size. It's too big, too big to carry,
and it's almost too big to plant in some parts,
but it starts to have that structure, the branching structure
(11:42):
of a Chinese stache. One needs to be to be
a bigger tree like that. But if you by say
a five gallon tree or something, they just look like
a whip. But you have to be optimistic about it.
It will grow into it. The five gallon tree is
that gawky teenager that runs into walls all the time,
(12:04):
but it will It will grow and mature and make
a nice tree. So that's one to consider. There are
some other fall blooming, fall colored trees we can talk about.
Sure do the break from you guess.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
All right, we'll take a break and we'll come back
with that. It is eight twenty one.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Remember you can be a part of the program at
one eight hundred and seven, four nine three six. It's
the Green Country Gardener Program back in two minutes.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
Nothing says fall like mums, pansies and ornamental kale, and
fall has fail. At Green Thumb Nursery and Greenhouses with
an abundance of mums, pansies and ornamental kale to get
that fall color. Green Thumb has the largest election of
quality plants and vegetable plants ready to plant, and they
always have new trees and shrubs arriving just in time.
(12:50):
While at green Theam be sure to check out their
sale items too. Green Thumb Nursery and Greenhouses open Monday
through Saturday, nine to five, eleven to three Sunday. Green

Speaker 11 (14:12):
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 3 (14:21):
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 11 (14:29):
A message from the nonprofit Life Foundation, got a black man,
(14:54):
got why.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yeah, we are back once again with a green Country
gardener program and our phone lane is open at one
eight hundred and seven four nine five nine three six.
Larry Glass, we were talking about trees, baby trees, trees, shrubs.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Also, it's pretty good time to plant those. Also keep
in mind the heartiness of it, and golly by all means,
keep in mind how big this thing's going to get. Yeah,
you see these houses all around and you really can't
see the front of the house, And to me, that's
kind of a security kind of thing, you know, So
(15:31):
keep in mind how big this plant's going to get.
It might look real good at the nursery or wherever
you get it from, but do a little research on it.
How big is this plant going to get? And so
on and so on. Is it's name prefaced by the
words dwarf or a hooge that was kind to tell
you kind of wear the planet? And how far away
(15:51):
from the house, And don't don't try to do that
little zone real close to the house. Go ahead and
branch out a little bit, go out to the frame
the house, that focus the front door. Sure, that kind
of thing, and then it can be a real attractive landscape,
a good landscape. That first impression when somebody's looking at
a house to buy its Sometimes it evens sell it
(16:14):
before they even go in the door. Yeah, you go,
that's from the outward appearance of it. So it's very
important to maintain your property properly. It's very important to
have a landscape that enhances the house and property and
all that too. And there's all kinds of shrubs out there,
a lot of them prefaced by the word dwarf, dwarf men, dina, dwarf,
y open holley, dwarf, kraick myrtle, dwarf, this and that,
(16:35):
and it doesn't get so awful big, and just don't
be afraid to go out just a little bit from
the house. And a specimen plant, say yop on holly,
a specimen type plant that needs to be probably five
to seven feet away from the house. When you first
plant it, it's going to look off a lonely, but
they grow and try not to I had this problem
(16:58):
at my house. Somebody to put a you'll be up
on hollys two feet from the house, and they got
this beautiful stone. Well you can't see it, so this
winter they get really hacked back. About every ten years
or so. I just whack them back and try to
get a little bit smaller because it looks somewhat overgrown
for the for the house. And then I had a
(17:22):
box with it in front in front of the window,
and lower plants beside the window. It's kind of weird.
So so I dragged this great, big old box with
the rip balls three feet around and dug a trench
and got got some ropes and pulled it over to
where it could go ahead and grow somewhere and not
(17:44):
block the windows and all that. And it's doing fine.
I'm training it to be an upright growing point. So
it's taking years to train it. I mean, they're like
kids forever, have to do it the way you want anyway.
(18:05):
So it's it's doing very well. For a while there
I thought I had lost it. It was it kind
of weep and cry and turn a little brown here
and there with it. But it finally it turned around
and did.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
It, put some dirt on it, and walk it off fu.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Houses on the garden tour, and people were really amazed
how different, how many different ways you can treat a boxwood.
Some of them were growing on a very low informal
hedge back along the fence. To make an informal hedge,
you see something that was too tall and cut it
way back inside, so it's not really a sheared hedge,
but they're kind of a feathery sort of thing. It's
(18:45):
pretty nice. Opposite that there's a boxwoods trained into a tree.
I have one that it's about nine feet tall and
all the trunking is exposed because it was planted there.
It was too close to the house, and so I
just cut everything off and it looks like a little tree,
kind of cool. And then there's some in front of
(19:07):
the shed that are not.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
This tall, but a little less knee high.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
But I try not to use the electric shears on them.
I prefer more informal billow. We look to it rather
than a box and they do fine. And really, when
trimming something like that that you want it to make
it kind of smaller. You looked at one that's really
too tall and just cut it way back inside, not
(19:33):
on the surface, but cut it down inside. In that way,
the other branches that are there will bush it and
bush out and make a good dense head like that,
so they can be treated a lot of ways. I
have some that are sculpted and they're they're eight feet tall,
but they're a perfect pyramid, and they're trammed in February
(19:54):
down below the kind of below the leafline. They look
ugly for a while for a little while where they
come out again.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
To Saint Valentine's Massacre.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Yeah, and that kind of the same thing with I
have dwarf yopin hollis that are forty years old and
they're knee high, and every February you get there to
cut the poor of those things away back to that
and they come back just fine. Goodness, So uh, anyway.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
So they recover, it's what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
So the thing is, uh, you know, it's a landscaping landscape.
You put it in and you're not done with it.
There's there'll be some maintenance involved with it too, and
you want to pick up plants that will work, that
don't get so awful big. In other words, a foster
holly close to the house, well, it's okay if you
can cut it back on an annual basis in February,
(20:45):
just really just almost skeletonize it because they get so big.
And the same with an La R. Stevens holly. I
see the people use them at the corner of the household.
Why use that when you you can use a needle
point holly.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
It's a job done more effective.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
But that sounds like something rather notorious, but really it's
only a needle on the point of the leave it's
a misnomer and I'm like, guess, about six to eight
feet tall. So it's easy to keep in a house situation.
See in the corner of the house, it's easy to
maintain it, as opposed to a foster holly or Nearly
Our Savings holly, which he gets twenty five feet tall.
(21:26):
So if you want a plant like that, say in
the corner of the house, you might ask to ask
at the nursery how big does this plant get? And
it's either on the level of the plant or some
like myself or Gary or somebody working there should know
how big this plant gets. And you can anticipate in
most holly plants getting up to twenty five feet tall. Yeah,
(21:51):
but the NRS Nearly r S Evings and the Foster
holly get twenty five thirty feet.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Tall, so that's good size.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Holly too close to the house does use for backdrops
and screenings and stuff like that off in the distance,
but up close to the house.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
All right, let's take a quick break. We're gonna be
right back after this two minute time out.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Those were the days a little risk never scared us.
Hands tight, clans loose. We'd cruised down drags with our
favorite bands. We bought good times with loose quarters, and
(22:40):
every night we had standing dates with the same friends.
Life was simpler back then. We hustled, we bumped, you
bust stopped, and we smoked Paul all the time.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
If that was you, then.

Speaker 7 (23:13):
Have you ever felt so dizzy you could hardly stand up?
You're not alone. Millions of people struggle with dizziness and
experience the debilitating symptoms of vestibular dysfunction, such as vertigo, nausea,
and ringing in their ears. Vestibular disorders affect people of
all ages and can impact ability to work, go to school,
or just perform everyday tasks like shopping and getting dressed.
(23:36):
Because these symptoms are invisible and difficult to describe, they're
often overlooked by doctors and dismissed by family and friends.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
Good morning, Welcome back to the Green Country Gardener program.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
And our phone line is one eight hundred and seven
four nine three six, and we have a caller caller,
Good morning, welcome to the program.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Your question to comment, Good.
Speaker 12 (24:26):
Morning, calm. This is Kevin.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Hey, Good morning, Kevin, Hey, Larry.
Speaker 12 (24:32):
How we're doing today?
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Hey? Doing all right? For uh tired guy? Pretty good?
Speaker 12 (24:40):
Hey? I congratulations Tom, Thank you, sir, Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Yes, Tom, fifty years.
Speaker 12 (24:47):
There is a long time. Yeah, fifty years that.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
It goes real fast.
Speaker 12 (24:55):
All right, No, that's okay, long is it?
Speaker 3 (24:57):
No, at it goes real fast.
Speaker 12 (25:00):
It's I asked you. Anyway, did you get to eat
anything yet?
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Yeah? They brought in some lovely kish and thank you
very much.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (25:10):
Yeah, yeah, all right. So anyway, so Clarry, what are
we doing this time of year?
Speaker 3 (25:17):
What are we doing this time of year? We're getting
our grassy start planting trees. We are planting trees. If
you bet, Kley. We just finished a couple of projects
this week. What a bunch of work. But a lot
of trees too. So is that time of year you
need to get them in the ground. Well, it's a
(25:39):
good idea to get that. Oh yeah, yeah, for for
winter too.
Speaker 12 (25:44):
Yes, yeah, So what were you going to say?
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Oh, I don't know. Yeah, we're busy planting a whole
lot of trees this time of year, and we wrapped
up a few projects. We got more online, so we're
going to be quite busy.
Speaker 12 (26:04):
When we start putting that free emerging on for the
for the weeds next spring.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
About two weeks ago. No, yes, those spring weeds are
coming up right now, so you want to get after
it real quick.
Speaker 12 (26:20):
Are spraying with round up?
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Oh yeah, I'll look for your your name written in
round up on the satellite image of your property.
Speaker 12 (26:30):
Yeah, oh I know.
Speaker 13 (26:31):
But you know, of course, after we can get it
pretty good fast to kill the bermuda, I can go
in there and spray that whole place with the round up.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Yeah. Round up has a good post emergent herbicide and
it's a non selective too. However, no worry, it is
absorbed through the leaves on the planet, so exactly, So
don't don't get it on your live oaks or your
jellias or your arbor vit a's or things like that.
Speaker 13 (27:02):
And you should do okay, oh man, then you start
qualifying everything napted.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Well, one thing you want to do is not pick
a windy day. You do not pick a windy day
when applying that.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
And you.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Take your your twelve cylinder sprayer. And and you might
want to turn the throttle down a little bit to
keep the droplet size.
Speaker 12 (27:31):
Yeah, keep them, keep them large, large.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Keep the droplet size fairly large. Right. You don't want
mists coming out because it will drift in the wind
and maybe cast some maybe cause some problems down wind.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
You don't want collateral damage.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
That's a good word for it.
Speaker 12 (27:49):
Yes, but I can, I can. We can still put
three margin on.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Can't you can.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
It'll have uh some control at this point, yes, A
good a good deal of control.
Speaker 12 (28:00):
What about for the crabgrass next year?
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Oh good god, you put down you put down a
pre emergent in March February, March.
Speaker 12 (28:09):
For that in March.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Yeah, okay, cragrass huh go ahead with the cra craggrass
likes it rather warm, so it comes out typically after
the bermuda graphs starts to grow. So you want to
be ahead of the game on that and put mid
March or.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
So for that.
Speaker 12 (28:31):
What about those pretty purple flowers.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Oh, they're beautiful. You need to cut them off and
put them in flower arrangements and all that. Really nice.
Now's the time to consider controlling hindt Uh. This is
the hot weather this week. I'm sure we'll slow down
the significant portion of the germination of the seed that
(28:53):
are in the ground at this point. So a pre
emergent will probably have some pretty good effect at this point. However,
once it starts to get a little rainier and cooler,
well you missed the boat.
Speaker 12 (29:03):
So yeah, I'll get them somehow.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
And the word, the term or the term for that
is control. You're going to have some survivors. So and
when that happens, that's when you get out the round
up and do a spot application.
Speaker 12 (29:20):
Here, get it round up, that's right, get it out.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
At that time, the bermuda grass is dormant. So now
the thing with hnbed is when it grows, the first
thing that does is bloom and it makes seed just
just almost instantly, so you'll have to be very diligent
and be observant. So what's happening with that? And try
to do that before it has a chance to bloom
like that?
Speaker 12 (29:43):
No wonder, I keep getting it coming back.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Yes, it's blooming, just you know, two days after it grows.
I'm being facetious. But anyway, shortly after it comes up,
it does have blood voit.
Speaker 12 (29:58):
I've got five acrews of it out there.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Yeah, I understand it makes a pretty good goat smelk too,
so you might.
Speaker 12 (30:08):
All I'm gonna let you get on with the program.
All right again, good to hear, and congratulations to Tom.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Yeah, good show guy.

Yeah, hey, welcome back. It's the Green Country Gardner Program
right here on your favorite radio station, and your phone
calls are welcome at to one eight hundred and seven
four nine three six. Larry Glasses are expert. I'm Tom,
(33:21):
I just answer the phones. I hang around till he
tells me to go home, and once again the seventy
one degrees beautiful day to day Larry to get out
in about and do a few things outside before the
heat hits.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Oh, good night. I think I might be taking the
day off today.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
I don't know. Ninety three.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
I mean it's hot, you know when he gets up there,
like ninety eight to one hundred and five, that's what
it feels like. Somebody's iron in your clothes and you're
still in him terribly. Yeah, anyway, then they hit you
with the steamer exactly.
Speaker 10 (33:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
You have all fall in winter, long now and early
spring to do some planning for your landscape.
Speaker 15 (33:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
So that's something we do at the nursery. Gives you
a roadmap, a direction, a directive if you will, what
to do, what plans will do well in your landscape
based on your your lifestyle. In other words, to see
one of those who comes in put the carnigarage goes nouse.
That's it, aren't We all kind of that way?
Speaker 2 (34:21):
There days a lot of days like that with me.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
I don't want to do anything.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Well, you've been doing this for fifty years as well, exactly.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
Yeah. I started kind of messing around with us when
I was thirteen.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Yeah, didn't you build your first routining wallet twelve?
Speaker 3 (34:36):
Yeah, i'd see.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
You've been at it a little bit longer than fifty
years now.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
That built the greenhouse when I was thirteen, the Pride
of Chicago right there on the west side anyway. So
one thing that that'll be how happening pretty soon is
these tree branches, oak trees and some I'll just follow
the ground, just little sections of the tree branch. And
(35:09):
we have an insect over here that's a very unique,
unique life cycle. It's called the twig girdler. This little
bugs up out of the ground, crawls out there and
deposits an egg inside of a twig on a tree,
and then turns around and cuts the tree almost all
(35:31):
the way around, and then it, I guess it dies off.
Insect does this thing breaks, hits the ground, and the
larvae grows in the tree, and it goes back into
the ground, turns into a bug and next fall does
the same thing over again.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Why did you dig their own hole and leave the
tree alone?
Speaker 3 (35:53):
I don't understand. It's a rather unique relationship between the
insects and trees.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Yeah, only the insect bits from it. So if you
do have some twigsation here.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
Look at look at the twig where it is cut
and if you see a very clean radio line around it,
then that's a twig girdler. The squirrels kind of the
same thing down then, but they're not as neat with
their cutting abilities as a twig girdler is. It's a
kind of a fairly harmless insect. It really doesn't do
(36:25):
too much damage unless it really really get a whole
bunch of them, and so it's it's kind of an
interesting thing. Interesting life cycle too, is the twig girdler.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
So pretty cool, pretty cool wildlife out there interesting the least.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
Typically they get pecans and hickories and oaks are the
most common ones they get. Uh, they'll they'll, they'll get
after per simmons and elms and poppward gumbasket, honeylocus, dog
woods some other trees that are damage as well. So,
speaking of dogwoods, if you want to trim your dog back,
don't that the buds are set on them. So now
(37:06):
it's not the time you're to tram your dog wood back.
I don't know if anybody don't want to do it anyway, but.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
No dog would groomy.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
It's not a big tree. The dogwood is a medium
sized tree. You get fifteen feet tall or something in
about ten twelve feet wide, depending on the situation. And
they're very quite showy in the spring. Now, what we
think of dog woods with a cornice Florida is and
when we typically associated with blooming in the spring, and
(37:34):
they do pretty well here in some situations. The primary
locational criteria for them would be areas that is well drained.
They don't thrive very well in lowland areas and so on.
Another thing is they do like some shielding from the
hot sun. Memory as a kid in rural North Carolina
(37:56):
where we lived, we'd run through the woods in the spring.
The dog wizard everywhere is growing wild out there and
it kind of nice. Yeah, And they will grow here.
They are they will adapt to our climate here. But
they do need a little bit of shielding in the
afternoon than they do find good and the color, albeit brief,
is very showy. There is, however, a pale a parallel
(38:19):
to the corner of Florida that's the corners calca, the
corners calca which is known as the Korean dog wood.
The difference between the Korean dog wood and the corner
of Florida, the flowering dogwood, is that the Korean dog
wood blooms after the leaves come out and the bracts
on it be our acts bracts, which is basically what
(38:40):
we see is the flower on the plant. They last
a lot longer on corners calca, and they're born on
top of the leaves, so they're really a pretty plant.
Another good attribute of the corners calca is it has
more tolerance of sunshine and it has more tolerance of
us them rot. Then the dogwood does too, So if
(39:04):
it's an area that doesn't really dry out too much,
you might consider a cornice calca. But the more sun
you have on the Korean dogwood, the more blooms you're
going to have on the two. Okay, so it does
do very well in the full sun. Most of these
plants need a little bit of TLC. They don't like
to be grown in the lawn because of the competition
(39:24):
with the grass and all that, and the tendency for
people to bump into the trunk with or mower. Well,
so you want to kind of keep them out of
the lawn. They're a little sensitive, so they work pretty well,
say in a good sized bed close to the house.
Some people like to do this curve and it comes
around to the corner of the house and they put
in this big ten foot wide curve going out and
(39:47):
you put this dogwood in there, and they grow up
really nice to make a good specimen plant. But the
big Calca dogwood is a bit more tolerant of our
variable soil conditions we have here too, and climatic conditions
you know they set about Oklahoma. Well all right, yeah,
(40:11):
so anyway, so those are two specimen interest trees you
might consider in the landscape. And because of their the
blooms in the spring do quite well. If you want
something that blooms in the summer, you might consider a
saucer magnolia. They bloom a little bit letter than the
corner of scows depending on the weather. But they're they
(40:31):
get kind of large, and they're they're a little messy,
but they do put on quite a show. I do
like the star magnillion. It's a really nice plant too.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
How tall to those guys.
Speaker 3 (40:41):
They get fifteen to twenty feet tall, about the same
wide on it to you. We had a weather situation
this year that we got really hot and kind of humid,
and we had some leaf drop on the star magnolias.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
But I think they'll come out. Okay, Okay, good. So
I tell you what, you can't much around here without.
Speaker 3 (41:03):
Hackberries.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Yeah, they have no problem with that.
Speaker 3 (41:06):
Johnson grass.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
Yeah, they just do fine. No, hasshole.
Speaker 1 (41:11):
It's the stuff you don't want it's problem, and it's
the stuff that you do want. You got to really
work at it. That's why we have this program here
because you know you're working into your yard.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
It's kind of hard. Yeah, makes it easier if you.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
Know what you can do it.
Speaker 3 (41:24):
Another tree you might consider it blooms a little bit later,
is the fringe tree. Okays it that's kind of an
interesting balloom on it blooms later on in the summer,
all right, and it's a kind of an attractive it's
very durable tree too. It can handle a lot of abuse.
I'm not saying you can back into it whatever it was,
(41:44):
but still but still it can tolerate our weather real well.
And it's not very well known.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (41:50):
So it's an interesting plant. Has a fascinating flower on
it too, kind of a it's like a it's a
little humming bird or something. Flowers interesting flower on it
and they're typically they're white. But the fringe trees an
interesting tree also in the landscape. For does that get
up about twenty It gets about fifteen twelve fifteen feet
(42:11):
tall and white. It's not a huge tree, and it's
kind of slow growing, but it's tough too.
Speaker 1 (42:16):
It takes the sun. Okay, it just very well. Yes,
in the name of that again, fringe tree, the fringe tree.
So good plant got throw in the Latin. Are you
keep every bay on their toes?
Speaker 3 (42:29):
Of course? Why not? Why not?
Speaker 2 (42:30):
You went to school to learn those words, better use them.
Speaker 3 (42:33):
And as we progress into the summer, where we start
off with the crape myrtles and things for the summer
color right there of the so what with the place
some of the trees. With the placement of the crape
myrtles and some flowering trees, you can have something in
bloom almost every month or almost all summer long with
some flowering trees and shrubs. And two and fall color
(42:55):
to the burning bush is an excellent fall color plant.
I had them and using them in several conditions at
my house, some of them in a low hedge, some
of them tree formed, and some of them just a
big old screening bush. So they're very versatile. And the
fall color goes in there. So you can have some
kind of color with these trees all summer long, just
(43:17):
by planting the right ones.
Speaker 1 (43:18):
We've got a call. Good morning, welcome to the Green
Country Gardener Program. You're a question or comment please?
Speaker 15 (43:25):
Okay, I'd like to know what was a good time?
Where the best time? I want to dig up a
pone and move it and see when the best time
for that.
Speaker 3 (43:37):
Well, you hit the nail on the head. This is
a great time right now, just right now, it would
be the good time.
Speaker 4 (43:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (43:44):
Number one, you know where that you know where they
are because a lot of the leaves are still on there.
And number two, they're basically dormant at this point.
Speaker 15 (43:53):
Oh all right, very much, Okay.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
Very good. So they won't know the difference when they're.
Speaker 3 (43:59):
Dormant, right, yeah, so there you go. Yeah, I know,
my peonies look like they've been hit with a blowtorch.
Speaker 2 (44:06):
Oh my goodness, but golly when they blew.
Speaker 3 (44:08):
Them, it's being they're really nice and actually every three
years they really need to be dug up and divided
for them to do well.
Speaker 2 (44:15):
Oh well I didn't know that. Yeah, well, now I
know something new.
Speaker 3 (44:18):
So what you do is you have some peonies growing
this part of the art and some over there and
some over there. Well, you start over here with these three.
The next year, they did the next one, the next
one like yeah. So when they're divided, you have a good,
good succession of blooms at least some of the peony bushes.
But if you're really into them or really want them
to do well, that's kind of what they need to
(44:39):
be done.
Speaker 1 (44:40):
All right, ladies, Deblan, We'll be back with more of
your calls and more of the program after this four

Speaker 8 (45:16):
Jane Phillips and Bartlesville.
Speaker 17 (45:20):
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. 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
(45:41):
found himself waking to the cold reality of her absence
and confided to others that his soul ached. More and
more of Frank's time was 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
(46:01):
in the chair next to him, these simple joys became
shallow to Uncle Frank. After her death, those around Frank
soon discovered that he had one desire, and that was
to build a masolem at Woolloarock 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
(46:21):
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. 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
(46:42):
the public eye, which is why he chose the site
above Elk Lake, one of his favorite fishing holes at Wollarock.
Built of native stone with no cut edges, the tomb
appeared to spring from the side of the hill as
if it was part of the terrain. Workmen blasted through
eighteen feet of solid rock to form the burial chain,
and the twenty four square foot room was lined with
(47:02):
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 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,
(47:23):
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 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
(47:45):
and he could return to the porch of the lodge,
which he did until his death on August twenty third,
nineteen fifty. The magic of Woolarrock is a story worth sharing,
and it can be found everywhere at this National Treasure
Comes see it for yourself and welcome home to Wallarock.

News Talk K one at AM fourteen hundred and FM
ninety three three and ninety five one.
Speaker 2 (48:45):
Give and we're back with the Greek Guntry Gardner Program.
Speaker 1 (48:52):
It say fifty seven, we're at seventy one degree sunshine,
Gonna get a whole lot warmer. I am ninety three
anticipated and right here in the cool shade of our
studio is Larry Glass, our expert here in the Green
Country Gardener Program.
Speaker 3 (49:06):
Hey, we are selling pansies at the nursing Really yeah,
they're just running out the door. But anyway, the pansy
is related to Viola's not the musical instrument, but the
group of plants of Johnny jump ups are related, and
viola is a genus containing five hundred different species. Cheese
and violas are similar to millions of people living in
(49:28):
Greece and because they've just native habitat anyway, anyway, known
as Viola tracler. The early vild pansies had two clear
differences from viola. They grew from the ground, from the
main well anyway, they do pretty well here in the
cool just all that, and they were cultivated in Europe
(49:53):
by many gardeners and they've grown up the way the
big pansies we have right now, and it's it's the
time of hear too. It's gonna be a little hot
this week, but it's that time of year to go
ahead and think about getting them in the ground. And
if you have some annuals in there, you might want
to maybe take some of them out and put some
pans in between, so you have a kind of a
transition between the summer and the winter, and they can
(50:15):
be planted after. Actually we have a frost too, so
there's still time to get them in the ground, but
it's a good time to think about it. Maybe very
good time to get some if you've got some blank
bases in the landscape, because it's going to get cool
one of these days. It's not going to be you know,
four hundred degrees during the day like it is now,
like it was yesterday, but it's going to cool down
a little bit and they are a cool season plant,
so we are anyway, God, we've got lots of stuff
(50:38):
to look at it the nursery, all depends of house
plants and brand new trees coming in, all kinds of panzies.
And don't forget to look at the mums. We got
just tons of mums that are really just getting ready
to pop.
Speaker 2 (50:49):
And the indoor waterfall, that's cool.
Speaker 3 (50:52):
Yeah, we've had a lot of people get married in
front of that thing too.
Speaker 2 (50:55):
Really, I did not know that.
Speaker 3 (50:58):
Anyway, it's kind of fun those come on by and
check us out, or at no water road right smack
between Madison and Washington Boulevard, and Tom keep that shovel sharp.
Golly good show. We will see again next week, all right,
And good morning, good morning, good morning, welcome, welcome, welcome
time for the Green Country Gardener Program. And our phone
line is open at one eight hundred and seven four
nine five nine.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
At three six. Our host is Larry Glass. I'm Tom.
I just answered the phones. He knows a few things.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
By golly, how you doing there, old knowledgeable one doing?
Speaker 3 (00:24):
It's fine? Actually, thank you? Yeah, yeah, I've got quite
a workout yesterday. But what did you do with some
caps on a few projects?
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Very good?
Speaker 2 (00:34):
The weather has been very nice for you. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Can't you guys do something about the temperature though?
Speaker 1 (00:40):
What it was fine? I know that it's getting a
little bit more like summer.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Again, yeah I know. And it's allergy season too, bike,
I found thirty day flu. Got jeez, you know what
it takes just to get out a bit?
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Oh my goodness. So what's happening in the lawn and
in the garden.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
It follows in the air, So get to work. The
pansins have popped up and ready to be planted. Right now.
We have fallen moms with color just about to burst
anywhere from the four inch to the six inch pot side.
So little ones and big ones and so on. And
we have something to fit your needs as far as
color and sizes, control on the mums. So time to
(01:21):
get that shovel out, get her done, sharper that shovel,
get that ground all dug up. I know in our
soil here, a sharp shovel is definitely an attribute.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Yes it is.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
It's a necessity that a couple of boots too.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Yeah, maybe some blasting caps.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Help a little bit too. Sometimes I think that's just
we go to these houses and you just shovel just
bounces off the ground anyway, So that's part of it.
You get the tailor out there a little bit through it. Okay,
but I busted through a few taillers too, My goodness,
(02:00):
they just wear out. Just go buy another one.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Oh okay, maybe you're killing a stone corey.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Well, it is Barlasville. We also have a flowering kail
and the flowering cabbage as well. It's really nice looking
flowering cabbage plants up there. And they they'll turn colors
once it gets cooler. Right now, they're just sort of
a green color, the cool bluish green color. But they'll
(02:26):
they'll change to reds and yellows and white and so on.
And the purple tube and give you some good color,
but saved by the front door somewhere. You don't need
a whole bunch of them, just a few of them,
just to give you some interest there by the house.
Those are coming too, so it's still a little early though.
You might get a few bugs on them, these little caterpillars,
(02:47):
they just love that stuff. Or somebody with some coalsall
dressing and the knife and the fork and.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Might coattion them, to my goodness.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
So anyway, so the fall color coming on right now.
Also time to plants and trees also, and we're getting
those in at a pretty good rate right now. You're
a Chinese fistache or red maples, et cetera, et cetera.
They're arriving at the nursery. We put them on them
on the drip lines and you know, keep them well
watered for you and all that too. Landscaping is busy.
(03:21):
We completed three projects this week and golly, there's just
so many to do on the horizon right now. So
it has been a bit of a tortuous summer a bit,
as I know, and we're getting try to get caught
up and all that too. So like everybody else. Anyway,
it's a good time to plant the trees. Remember the
(03:43):
spacey rules of planting trees. Got it you as asks
at the nursery, how big does this tree get? Do
is they get ten feet wide? Thirty feet wide for
defeet white? How wide does this tree get? And keep
that in mind when we're placing it in the lane escape.
How far away from the house doesn't need to be.
Do you want it to rattle when the wind blows
(04:05):
and wake you up at night or do you want
it to be far away enough to where it won't
be a problem so close to the house. So those
factors have to play in the when looking in tree.
Also consider your drainage patterns too. Where does the water
drain around the house. And if you put a tree
right in the middle of the drainage swell, it'll probably
(04:27):
just die from ret rot. But the root mass, if
it does survive, will swell up the ground around it
because you got an increasing mass in there and it
has to be displaced somewhere. And typically the soil is
displaced upwards as a result of the increased mass of
(04:48):
the root system, and a lot of people's houses have
a very critical drainage pattern to them. And if this
tree is in the drainage pattern near the drainage pattern,
it will block that and cause a backup of water.
Then you just open the front door of the back door,
let the water run through in the rain.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
So keep that of mind. Also also utilities. Where does
the water line come into the house, Where does the
stewer line go out of the house. This is information
that when you purchase the house that should be provided
so you know where it is, and then you can
avoid those locations too. Because if you do plant a
(05:30):
tree on top of a water line and it goes kupuitz. Yeah,
the tree all of a sudden starts growing real fast
along with your water bill. You wonder what is going on. Well,
let's see three feet this year and my back account
has dropped three so yeah, So keep that in mind.
(05:53):
Also keep it away from pavement and away from utility
lines to paralyze and so on, and keep it out
of drainage patterns on all those criteria are met. Also
keep it away from the house fifteen twenty feet away
from the house too. Probably in your property line. It's
probably a little area about that big yep.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Tree, we can pinpoint it for you.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
And then once that happens, you got to decide, well,
what do I want this tree to do? Do you
want to shay the house? Do you want it to
just to be an accent? You want some fall color,
you want some spring blooms on it. All these factories
had to play into there to pick out a variety
of tree to plant. So it's not as simple as
you think.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
No, that's why we got you.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
I want that one. So helps sometimes if you do
make a map of your property and then go ahead
and mark on that map where you tell those lines are,
you'd be surprised if you do a ten foot area
away from the house, ten fed area away from all
the paving, ten feet away from the yeah, water lane
coming into the house, and tinted away from the power
(07:03):
lane coming in the house. It'll kind of tell you
where you can plant one there. You go, so cool.
So any trees there, we got them coming in just
by the truck load. Whenever they'reever they come in and
we're ready to sell, you can also have this plant
it for you too. That's a lot and it extends
(07:26):
the guarantee on it also, so good to know Okay,
So the Chinese pistache is our tree of the week,
and it's becoming a very popular tree.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Actually it should be. You got one in your yard. Yeah,
that was.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Growing in the backyard at a crack of the concrete
and I pulled it up planted it in the mud.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
See the tree, see theo.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
And yeah, it's huge. You can see it from out
of space. It shades my old truck in the afternoon
when you get home from work. Oh so it's I
did planet a little close to the house, but it's
about fifteen feet away from the house and it's a
little close. You got a little bigger than I thought
it would, not really knowing what variety it was or
(08:13):
guess and so on, it grew. It just got out
the loppers and that so anyway, generally an upright oval
shaped tree, it's moderately growing to about forty feet tall
and about thirty feet wide, and it typically exhibits excellent
red fault color. It's a primary attribute of the tree.
(08:34):
This one color is up most reliable.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
So most of the factors affecting fault color color have
a little you know, variability on my time, temperature and
so on. This one just changes color basically regardless of
what it does, unless we have an early frost and
all the leave just fall off.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
So what's happened now, It happens the cold of the nights,
the more vibrant the colors. Of course, it's a very
deeply rooted and it's structured to tolerate our storms and ice.
In other words, that this tree is in the front
yard and I live on top of a gravel pit,
(09:14):
and I don't have any roots coming up anywhere, so
that they're down into the.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Soil right over there pretty well exactly. It's a good
tree for tough urban sites. A lot of them are
used downtown but too so these are very it's a
very tolerant tree. It does not like poor drainage. If
there's an area where water sits when it rains, it's
it won't it won't make it, so keep that in mind. Also,
(09:43):
it's dioecious. Male and female on separate plants too, And
if typically you want to ask for a male clone
kind of reminds me of Woody Allen Sleeper, but I saw.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
That movie that I have yet.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
So anyway, but you want to try to get one
of those otherwise it's a fifty to fifty chance male
or females. Anyway, the females are still they still color
up nice too, but they have seeds on them. So anyway,
it's a good, good overall trade to be planned to
run here because it doesn't have a wide variety of
tolerance as far as where it's planet is concerned and
(10:23):
the conditions, so it can tolerate varying soil types and
conditions and still prosper. If it'll grow in a cutout
in the curb in the street, it'll more than likely
grow in your rocky backyard.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Where no bugs, no bugs. Well, yeah, look how strong
it is. I mean it's yeah, it's like the truck
dorsh of trees exactly. But it's somewhat ugly when it's young.
So when you see them at the nursery when it's small,
we all, yeah, really, I was so ugly when I
was a kid.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
I still am. But hey, I have to agree with that.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
I tell you what, it's a lot better than my folks.
For my birthday, my father took me to the zoo.
I said, what are we going to see, say, your
birth parents?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
But the tree when they're young, they're all gangly and
you're not going to get a straight now one size
of Chinese pistache that really sells real well. It's a
thirty gallon size. It's too big, too big to carry,
and it's almost too big to plant in some parts,
but it starts to have that structure, the branching structure
(11:42):
of a Chinese stache. One needs to be to be
a bigger tree like that. But if you by say
a five gallon tree or something, they just look like
a whip. But you have to be optimistic about it.
It will grow into it. The five gallon tree is
that gawky teenager that runs into walls all the time,
(12:04):
but it will It will grow and mature and make
a nice tree. So that's one to consider. There are
some other fall blooming, fall colored trees we can talk about.
Sure do the break from you guess.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
All right, we'll take a break and we'll come back
with that. It is eight twenty one.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Remember you can be a part of the program at
one eight hundred and seven, four nine three six. It's

Speaker 6 (12:29):
Nothing says fall like mums, pansies and ornamental kale, and
fall has fail. At Green Thumb Nursery and Greenhouses with
an abundance of mums, pansies and ornamental kale to get
that fall color. Green Thumb has the largest election of
quality plants and vegetable plants ready to plant, and they
always have new trees and shrubs arriving just in time.

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 3 (14:21):
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 11 (14:29):
A message from the nonprofit Life Foundation, got a black man,
(14:54):
got why.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yeah, we are back once again with a green Country
gardener program and our phone lane is open at one
eight hundred and seven four nine five nine three six.
Larry Glass, we were talking about trees, baby trees, trees, shrubs.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Also, it's pretty good time to plant those. Also keep
in mind the heartiness of it, and golly by all means,
keep in mind how big this thing's going to get. Yeah,
you see these houses all around and you really can't
see the front of the house, And to me, that's
kind of a security kind of thing, you know, So
(15:31):
keep in mind how big this plant's going to get.
It might look real good at the nursery or wherever
you get it from, but do a little research on it.
How big is this plant going to get? And so
on and so on. Is it's name prefaced by the
words dwarf or a hooge that was kind to tell
you kind of wear the planet? And how far away
(15:51):
from the house, And don't don't try to do that
little zone real close to the house. Go ahead and
branch out a little bit, go out to the frame
the house, that focus the front door. Sure, that kind
of thing, and then it can be a real attractive landscape,
a good landscape. That first impression when somebody's looking at
a house to buy its Sometimes it evens sell it
(16:14):
before they even go in the door. Yeah, you go,
that's from the outward appearance of it. So it's very
important to maintain your property properly. It's very important to
have a landscape that enhances the house and property and
all that too. And there's all kinds of shrubs out there,
a lot of them prefaced by the word dwarf, dwarf men, dina, dwarf,
y open holley, dwarf, kraick myrtle, dwarf, this and that,
(16:35):
and it doesn't get so awful big, and just don't
be afraid to go out just a little bit from
the house. And a specimen plant, say yop on holly,
a specimen type plant that needs to be probably five
to seven feet away from the house. When you first
plant it, it's going to look off a lonely, but
they grow and try not to I had this problem
(16:58):
at my house. Somebody to put a you'll be up
on hollys two feet from the house, and they got
this beautiful stone. Well you can't see it, so this
winter they get really hacked back. About every ten years
or so. I just whack them back and try to
get a little bit smaller because it looks somewhat overgrown
for the for the house. And then I had a
(17:22):
box with it in front in front of the window,
and lower plants beside the window. It's kind of weird.
So so I dragged this great, big old box with
the rip balls three feet around and dug a trench
and got got some ropes and pulled it over to
where it could go ahead and grow somewhere and not
(17:44):
block the windows and all that. And it's doing fine.
I'm training it to be an upright growing point. So
it's taking years to train it. I mean, they're like
kids forever, have to do it the way you want anyway.
(18:05):
So it's it's doing very well. For a while there
I thought I had lost it. It was it kind
of weep and cry and turn a little brown here
and there with it. But it finally it turned around
and did.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
It, put some dirt on it, and walk it off fu.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Houses on the garden tour, and people were really amazed
how different, how many different ways you can treat a boxwood.
Some of them were growing on a very low informal
hedge back along the fence. To make an informal hedge,
you see something that was too tall and cut it
way back inside, so it's not really a sheared hedge,
but they're kind of a feathery sort of thing. It's
(18:45):
pretty nice. Opposite that there's a boxwoods trained into a tree.
I have one that it's about nine feet tall and
all the trunking is exposed because it was planted there.
It was too close to the house, and so I
just cut everything off and it looks like a little tree,
kind of cool. And then there's some in front of
(19:07):
the shed that are not.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
This tall, but a little less knee high.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
But I try not to use the electric shears on them.
I prefer more informal billow. We look to it rather
than a box and they do fine. And really, when
trimming something like that that you want it to make
it kind of smaller. You looked at one that's really
too tall and just cut it way back inside, not
(19:33):
on the surface, but cut it down inside. In that way,
the other branches that are there will bush it and
bush out and make a good dense head like that,
so they can be treated a lot of ways. I
have some that are sculpted and they're they're eight feet tall,
but they're a perfect pyramid, and they're trammed in February
(19:54):
down below the kind of below the leafline. They look
ugly for a while for a little while where they
come out again.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
To Saint Valentine's Massacre.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Yeah, and that kind of the same thing with I
have dwarf yopin hollis that are forty years old and
they're knee high, and every February you get there to
cut the poor of those things away back to that
and they come back just fine. Goodness, So uh, anyway.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
So they recover, it's what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
So the thing is, uh, you know, it's a landscaping landscape.
You put it in and you're not done with it.
There's there'll be some maintenance involved with it too, and
you want to pick up plants that will work, that
don't get so awful big. In other words, a foster
holly close to the house, well, it's okay if you
can cut it back on an annual basis in February,
(20:45):
just really just almost skeletonize it because they get so big.
And the same with an La R. Stevens holly. I
see the people use them at the corner of the household.
Why use that when you you can use a needle
point holly.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
It's a job done more effective.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
But that sounds like something rather notorious, but really it's
only a needle on the point of the leave it's
a misnomer and I'm like, guess, about six to eight
feet tall. So it's easy to keep in a house situation.
See in the corner of the house, it's easy to
maintain it, as opposed to a foster holly or Nearly
Our Savings holly, which he gets twenty five feet tall.
(21:26):
So if you want a plant like that, say in
the corner of the house, you might ask to ask
at the nursery how big does this plant get? And
it's either on the level of the plant or some
like myself or Gary or somebody working there should know
how big this plant gets. And you can anticipate in
most holly plants getting up to twenty five feet tall. Yeah,
(21:51):
but the NRS Nearly r S Evings and the Foster
holly get twenty five thirty feet.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Tall, so that's good size.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Holly too close to the house does use for backdrops
and screenings and stuff like that off in the distance,
but up close to the house.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
All right, let's take a quick break. We're gonna be
right back after this two minute time out.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Those were the days a little risk never scared us.
Hands tight, clans loose. We'd cruised down drags with our
favorite bands. We bought good times with loose quarters, and
(22:40):
every night we had standing dates with the same friends.
Life was simpler back then. We hustled, we bumped, you
bust stopped, and we smoked Paul all the time.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
Good morning, Welcome back to the Green Country Gardener program.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
And our phone line is one eight hundred and seven
four nine three six, and we have a caller caller,
Good morning, welcome to the program.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Your question to comment, Good.
Speaker 12 (24:26):
Morning, calm. This is Kevin.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Hey, Good morning, Kevin, Hey, Larry.
Speaker 12 (24:32):
How we're doing today?
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Hey? Doing all right? For uh tired guy? Pretty good?
Speaker 12 (24:40):
Hey? I congratulations Tom, Thank you, sir, Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Yes, Tom, fifty years.
Speaker 12 (24:47):
There is a long time. Yeah, fifty years that.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
It goes real fast.
Speaker 12 (24:55):
All right, No, that's okay, long is it?
Speaker 3 (24:57):
No, at it goes real fast.
Speaker 12 (25:00):
It's I asked you. Anyway, did you get to eat
anything yet?
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Yeah? They brought in some lovely kish and thank you
very much.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (25:10):
Yeah, yeah, all right. So anyway, so Clarry, what are
we doing this time of year?
Speaker 3 (25:17):
What are we doing this time of year? We're getting
our grassy start planting trees. We are planting trees. If
you bet, Kley. We just finished a couple of projects
this week. What a bunch of work. But a lot
of trees too. So is that time of year you
need to get them in the ground. Well, it's a
(25:39):
good idea to get that. Oh yeah, yeah, for for
winter too.
Speaker 12 (25:44):
Yes, yeah, So what were you going to say?
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Oh, I don't know. Yeah, we're busy planting a whole
lot of trees this time of year, and we wrapped
up a few projects. We got more online, so we're
going to be quite busy.
Speaker 12 (26:04):
When we start putting that free emerging on for the
for the weeds next spring.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
About two weeks ago. No, yes, those spring weeds are
coming up right now, so you want to get after
it real quick.
Speaker 12 (26:20):
Are spraying with round up?
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Oh yeah, I'll look for your your name written in
round up on the satellite image of your property.
Speaker 12 (26:30):
Yeah, oh I know.
Speaker 13 (26:31):
But you know, of course, after we can get it
pretty good fast to kill the bermuda, I can go
in there and spray that whole place with the round up.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Yeah. Round up has a good post emergent herbicide and
it's a non selective too. However, no worry, it is
absorbed through the leaves on the planet, so exactly, So
don't don't get it on your live oaks or your
jellias or your arbor vit a's or things like that.
Speaker 13 (27:02):
And you should do okay, oh man, then you start
qualifying everything napted.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Well, one thing you want to do is not pick
a windy day. You do not pick a windy day
when applying that.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
And you.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Take your your twelve cylinder sprayer. And and you might
want to turn the throttle down a little bit to
keep the droplet size.
Speaker 12 (27:31):
Yeah, keep them, keep them large, large.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Keep the droplet size fairly large. Right. You don't want
mists coming out because it will drift in the wind
and maybe cast some maybe cause some problems down wind.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
You don't want collateral damage.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
That's a good word for it.
Speaker 12 (27:49):
Yes, but I can, I can. We can still put
three margin on.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Can't you can.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
It'll have uh some control at this point, yes, A
good a good deal of control.
Speaker 12 (28:00):
What about for the crabgrass next year?
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Oh good god, you put down you put down a
pre emergent in March February, March.
Speaker 12 (28:09):
For that in March.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Yeah, okay, cragrass huh go ahead with the cra craggrass
likes it rather warm, so it comes out typically after
the bermuda graphs starts to grow. So you want to
be ahead of the game on that and put mid
March or.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
So for that.
Speaker 12 (28:31):
What about those pretty purple flowers.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Oh, they're beautiful. You need to cut them off and
put them in flower arrangements and all that. Really nice.
Now's the time to consider controlling hindt Uh. This is
the hot weather this week. I'm sure we'll slow down
the significant portion of the germination of the seed that
(28:53):
are in the ground at this point. So a pre
emergent will probably have some pretty good effect at this point. However,
once it starts to get a little rainier and cooler,
well you missed the boat.
Speaker 12 (29:03):
So yeah, I'll get them somehow.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
And the word, the term or the term for that
is control. You're going to have some survivors. So and
when that happens, that's when you get out the round
up and do a spot application.
Speaker 12 (29:20):
Here, get it round up, that's right, get it out.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
At that time, the bermuda grass is dormant. So now
the thing with hnbed is when it grows, the first
thing that does is bloom and it makes seed just
just almost instantly, so you'll have to be very diligent
and be observant. So what's happening with that? And try
to do that before it has a chance to bloom
like that?
Speaker 12 (29:43):
No wonder, I keep getting it coming back.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Yes, it's blooming, just you know, two days after it grows.
I'm being facetious. But anyway, shortly after it comes up,
it does have blood voit.
Speaker 12 (29:58):
I've got five acrews of it out there.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Yeah, I understand it makes a pretty good goat smelk too,
so you might.
Speaker 12 (30:08):
All I'm gonna let you get on with the program.

Yeah, hey, welcome back. It's the Green Country Gardner Program
right here on your favorite radio station, and your phone
calls are welcome at to one eight hundred and seven
four nine three six. Larry Glasses are expert. I'm Tom,
(33:21):
I just answer the phones. I hang around till he
tells me to go home, and once again the seventy
one degrees beautiful day to day Larry to get out
in about and do a few things outside before the
heat hits.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Oh, good night. I think I might be taking the
day off today.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
I don't know. Ninety three.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
I mean it's hot, you know when he gets up there,
like ninety eight to one hundred and five, that's what
it feels like. Somebody's iron in your clothes and you're
still in him terribly. Yeah, anyway, then they hit you
with the steamer exactly.
Speaker 10 (33:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
You have all fall in winter, long now and early
spring to do some planning for your landscape.
Speaker 15 (33:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
So that's something we do at the nursery. Gives you
a roadmap, a direction, a directive if you will, what
to do, what plans will do well in your landscape
based on your your lifestyle. In other words, to see
one of those who comes in put the carnigarage goes nouse.
That's it, aren't We all kind of that way?
Speaker 2 (34:21):
There days a lot of days like that with me.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
I don't want to do anything.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Well, you've been doing this for fifty years as well, exactly.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
Yeah. I started kind of messing around with us when
I was thirteen.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Yeah, didn't you build your first routining wallet twelve?
Speaker 3 (34:36):
Yeah, i'd see.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
You've been at it a little bit longer than fifty
years now.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
That built the greenhouse when I was thirteen, the Pride
of Chicago right there on the west side anyway. So
one thing that that'll be how happening pretty soon is
these tree branches, oak trees and some I'll just follow
the ground, just little sections of the tree branch. And
(35:09):
we have an insect over here that's a very unique,
unique life cycle. It's called the twig girdler. This little
bugs up out of the ground, crawls out there and
deposits an egg inside of a twig on a tree,
and then turns around and cuts the tree almost all
(35:31):
the way around, and then it, I guess it dies off.
Insect does this thing breaks, hits the ground, and the
larvae grows in the tree, and it goes back into
the ground, turns into a bug and next fall does
the same thing over again.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Why did you dig their own hole and leave the
tree alone?
Speaker 3 (35:53):
I don't understand. It's a rather unique relationship between the
insects and trees.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Yeah, only the insect bits from it. So if you
do have some twigsation here.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
Look at look at the twig where it is cut
and if you see a very clean radio line around it,
then that's a twig girdler. The squirrels kind of the
same thing down then, but they're not as neat with
their cutting abilities as a twig girdler is. It's a
kind of a fairly harmless insect. It really doesn't do
(36:25):
too much damage unless it really really get a whole
bunch of them, and so it's it's kind of an
interesting thing. Interesting life cycle too, is the twig girdler.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
So pretty cool, pretty cool wildlife out there interesting the least.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
Typically they get pecans and hickories and oaks are the
most common ones they get. Uh, they'll they'll, they'll get
after per simmons and elms and poppward gumbasket, honeylocus, dog
woods some other trees that are damage as well. So,
speaking of dogwoods, if you want to trim your dog back,
don't that the buds are set on them. So now
(37:06):
it's not the time you're to tram your dog wood back.
I don't know if anybody don't want to do it anyway, but.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
No dog would groomy.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
It's not a big tree. The dogwood is a medium
sized tree. You get fifteen feet tall or something in
about ten twelve feet wide, depending on the situation. And
they're very quite showy in the spring. Now, what we
think of dog woods with a cornice Florida is and
when we typically associated with blooming in the spring, and
(37:34):
they do pretty well here in some situations. The primary
locational criteria for them would be areas that is well drained.
They don't thrive very well in lowland areas and so on.
Another thing is they do like some shielding from the
hot sun. Memory as a kid in rural North Carolina
(37:56):
where we lived, we'd run through the woods in the spring.
The dog wizard everywhere is growing wild out there and
it kind of nice. Yeah, And they will grow here.
They are they will adapt to our climate here. But
they do need a little bit of shielding in the
afternoon than they do find good and the color, albeit brief,
is very showy. There is, however, a pale a parallel
(38:19):
to the corner of Florida that's the corners calca, the
corners calca which is known as the Korean dog wood.
The difference between the Korean dog wood and the corner
of Florida, the flowering dogwood, is that the Korean dog
wood blooms after the leaves come out and the bracts
on it be our acts bracts, which is basically what
(38:40):
we see is the flower on the plant. They last
a lot longer on corners calca, and they're born on
top of the leaves, so they're really a pretty plant.
Another good attribute of the corners calca is it has
more tolerance of sunshine and it has more tolerance of
us them rot. Then the dogwood does too, So if
(39:04):
it's an area that doesn't really dry out too much,
you might consider a cornice calca. But the more sun
you have on the Korean dogwood, the more blooms you're
going to have on the two. Okay, so it does
do very well in the full sun. Most of these
plants need a little bit of TLC. They don't like
to be grown in the lawn because of the competition
(39:24):
with the grass and all that, and the tendency for
people to bump into the trunk with or mower. Well,
so you want to kind of keep them out of
the lawn. They're a little sensitive, so they work pretty well,
say in a good sized bed close to the house.
Some people like to do this curve and it comes
around to the corner of the house and they put
in this big ten foot wide curve going out and
(39:47):
you put this dogwood in there, and they grow up
really nice to make a good specimen plant. But the
big Calca dogwood is a bit more tolerant of our
variable soil conditions we have here too, and climatic conditions
you know they set about Oklahoma. Well all right, yeah,
(40:11):
so anyway, so those are two specimen interest trees you
might consider in the landscape. And because of their the
blooms in the spring do quite well. If you want
something that blooms in the summer, you might consider a
saucer magnolia. They bloom a little bit letter than the
corner of scows depending on the weather. But they're they
(40:31):
get kind of large, and they're they're a little messy,
but they do put on quite a show. I do
like the star magnillion. It's a really nice plant too.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
How tall to those guys.
Speaker 3 (40:41):
They get fifteen to twenty feet tall, about the same
wide on it to you. We had a weather situation
this year that we got really hot and kind of humid,
and we had some leaf drop on the star magnolias.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
But I think they'll come out. Okay, Okay, good. So
I tell you what, you can't much around here without.
Speaker 3 (41:03):
Hackberries.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Yeah, they have no problem with that.
Speaker 3 (41:06):
Johnson grass.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
Yeah, they just do fine. No, hasshole.
Speaker 1 (41:11):
It's the stuff you don't want it's problem, and it's
the stuff that you do want. You got to really
work at it. That's why we have this program here
because you know you're working into your yard.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
It's kind of hard. Yeah, makes it easier if you.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
Know what you can do it.
Speaker 3 (41:24):
Another tree you might consider it blooms a little bit later,
is the fringe tree. Okays it that's kind of an
interesting balloom on it blooms later on in the summer,
all right, and it's a kind of an attractive it's
very durable tree too. It can handle a lot of abuse.
I'm not saying you can back into it whatever it was,
(41:44):
but still but still it can tolerate our weather real well.
And it's not very well known.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (41:50):
So it's an interesting plant. Has a fascinating flower on
it too, kind of a it's like a it's a
little humming bird or something. Flowers interesting flower on it
and they're typically they're white. But the fringe trees an
interesting tree also in the landscape. For does that get
up about twenty It gets about fifteen twelve fifteen feet
(42:11):
tall and white. It's not a huge tree, and it's
kind of slow growing, but it's tough too.
Speaker 1 (42:16):
It takes the sun. Okay, it just very well. Yes,
in the name of that again, fringe tree, the fringe tree.
So good plant got throw in the Latin. Are you
keep every bay on their toes?
Speaker 3 (42:29):
Of course? Why not? Why not?
Speaker 2 (42:30):
You went to school to learn those words, better use them.
Speaker 3 (42:33):
And as we progress into the summer, where we start
off with the crape myrtles and things for the summer
color right there of the so what with the place
some of the trees. With the placement of the crape
myrtles and some flowering trees, you can have something in
bloom almost every month or almost all summer long with
some flowering trees and shrubs. And two and fall color
(42:55):
to the burning bush is an excellent fall color plant.
I had them and using them in several conditions at
my house, some of them in a low hedge, some
of them tree formed, and some of them just a
big old screening bush. So they're very versatile. And the
fall color goes in there. So you can have some
kind of color with these trees all summer long, just
(43:17):
by planting the right ones.
Speaker 1 (43:18):
We've got a call. Good morning, welcome to the Green
Country Gardener Program. You're a question or comment please?
Speaker 15 (43:25):
Okay, I'd like to know what was a good time?
Where the best time? I want to dig up a
pone and move it and see when the best time
for that.
Speaker 3 (43:37):
Well, you hit the nail on the head. This is
a great time right now, just right now, it would
be the good time.
Speaker 4 (43:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (43:44):
Number one, you know where that you know where they
are because a lot of the leaves are still on there.
And number two, they're basically dormant at this point.
Speaker 15 (43:53):
Oh all right, very much, Okay.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
Very good. So they won't know the difference when they're.
Speaker 3 (43:59):
Dormant, right, yeah, so there you go. Yeah, I know,
my peonies look like they've been hit with a blowtorch.
Speaker 2 (44:06):
Oh my goodness, but golly when they blew.
Speaker 3 (44:08):
Them, it's being they're really nice and actually every three
years they really need to be dug up and divided
for them to do well.
Speaker 2 (44:15):
Oh well I didn't know that. Yeah, well, now I
know something new.
Speaker 3 (44:18):
So what you do is you have some peonies growing
this part of the art and some over there and
some over there. Well, you start over here with these three.
The next year, they did the next one, the next
one like yeah. So when they're divided, you have a good,
good succession of blooms at least some of the peony bushes.
But if you're really into them or really want them
to do well, that's kind of what they need to
(44:39):
be done.
Speaker 1 (44:40):

Speaker 8 (45:16):
Jane Phillips and Bartlesville.
Speaker 17 (45:20):
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. 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
(45:41):
found himself waking to the cold reality of her absence
and confided to others that his soul ached. More and
more of Frank's time was 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
(46:01):
in the chair next to him, these simple joys became
shallow to Uncle Frank. After her death, those around Frank
soon discovered that he had one desire, and that was
to build a masolem at Woolloarock 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
(46:21):
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. 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
(46:42):
the public eye, which is why he chose the site
above Elk Lake, one of his favorite fishing holes at Wollarock.
Built of native stone with no cut edges, the tomb
appeared to spring from the side of the hill as
if it was part of the terrain. Workmen blasted through
eighteen feet of solid rock to form the burial chain,
and the twenty four square foot room was lined with
(47:02):
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 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,
(47:23):
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 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
(47:45):
and he could return to the porch of the lodge,
which he did until his death on August twenty third,
nineteen fifty. The magic of Woolarrock is a story worth sharing,
and it can be found everywhere at this National Treasure
Comes see it for yourself and welcome home to Wallarock.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
Give and we're back with the Greek Guntry Gardner Program.
Speaker 1 (48:52):
It say fifty seven, we're at seventy one degree sunshine,
Gonna get a whole lot warmer. I am ninety three
anticipated and right here in the cool shade of our
studio is Larry Glass, our expert here in the Green
Country Gardener Program.
Speaker 3 (49:06):
Hey, we are selling pansies at the nursing Really yeah,
they're just running out the door. But anyway, the pansy
is related to Viola's not the musical instrument, but the
group of plants of Johnny jump ups are related, and
viola is a genus containing five hundred different species. Cheese
and violas are similar to millions of people living in
(49:28):
Greece and because they've just native habitat anyway, anyway, known
as Viola tracler. The early vild pansies had two clear
differences from viola. They grew from the ground, from the
main well anyway, they do pretty well here in the
cool just all that, and they were cultivated in Europe
(49:53):
by many gardeners and they've grown up the way the
big pansies we have right now, and it's it's the
time of hear too. It's gonna be a little hot
this week, but it's that time of year to go
ahead and think about getting them in the ground. And
if you have some annuals in there, you might want
to maybe take some of them out and put some
pans in between, so you have a kind of a
transition between the summer and the winter, and they can
(50:15):
be planted after. Actually we have a frost too, so
there's still time to get them in the ground, but
it's a good time to think about it. Maybe very
good time to get some if you've got some blank
bases in the landscape, because it's going to get cool
one of these days. It's not going to be you know,
four hundred degrees during the day like it is now,
like it was yesterday, but it's going to cool down
a little bit and they are a cool season plant,
so we are anyway, God, we've got lots of stuff
(50:38):
to look at it the nursery, all depends of house
plants and brand new trees coming in, all kinds of panzies.
And don't forget to look at the mums. We got
just tons of mums that are really just getting ready
to pop.
Speaker 2 (50:49):
And the indoor waterfall, that's cool.
Speaker 3 (50:52):
Yeah, we've had a lot of people get married in
front of that thing too.
Speaker 2 (50:55):
Really, I did not know that.
Speaker 3 (50:58):
Anyway, it's kind of fun those come on by and
check us out, or at no water road right smack
between Madison and Washington Boulevard, and Tom keep that shovel sharp.
Golly good show. We will see again next week, all right,
