Speaker 1 (00:11):
Good morning, good morning morning, Welcome, welcome, welcome, a bright,
bouncy Larry Glasses with us here today for our Green
Country Gardener program again. Phone number is one eight hundred
and seven four nine five nine three six. Well, I
gotta say you got to spring in your step and
everywhere else all over.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
You you're today, Todd, What a difference today, and yeah,
you know, especially jeez.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
We're here in the seventies a week after Labor Day
in this part of the world.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Yeah, it was it was what five thousand degrees a
couple of weeks ago. Yeah, now and now it's down
to you know, fifty five right now. That kind of
messes with your metabolism a little bit.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Oh my goodness sake. You know, we went from the
Susie Homemaker easy bake up and it's just pretty right nice.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
I know, great weather, and this week I'll leave the
weather looks stillar that it's gonna be a little bit
on the warm side on today, but compared to what
it has been you know, one hundred and what was it,
one hundred and twenty degrees or something.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Something like that.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yeah, it's not going to be that bad anyway. At
the nursery of course when the season changed. We have
all kinds of cool stuff happening.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
You and Gary stay after and starting changing things in
and out right.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
We got all kinds of mums right now. Mum's the word,
and their color is just about ready to burst on them.
We got anything from four inch to the two gallon sides,
so they're really quite showy.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Mums are plenty.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Mums is the word. Yeah. So we got those flowering
kale cabbage coming home pretty soon too. We got a
few pansies right now. It's okay to plant pansies right now.
They'll do okay. If it doesn't get to be one
hundred and four degrees, it'll be fine.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I don't think it will.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Oh you just wait, I know, just right before October?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
What is that?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
I see? Where are we on this thing? I got
this deal here?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Ah this chart?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yes, yeah, in September, the average yeah, the record high
was one hundred and ten and the record low was
twenty nine.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
It could go either way. We live in a volatile climate.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
And we got a little bit of bumping average precipitation
too coming on. So after that it kind of goes
down a little bit. But well, October is really more
rainy than September, but we got you know, we're still
in the midst of a somewhat of a rainy period
if you will, coming on.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
So, yeah, it's great. It's better than a two year
draft that we had.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Oh man, that's crazy. Yeah, you look on the tree
rings a different area right there where well what happened
It was nuclear holocaust. I don't know. It was pretty
bad there for about three years. But anyway, things are
coming around pretty good, and I think it's going to
be a really good fall and they're going to have
some great color too, because this rain that we got
(03:04):
a good kind of final blast for the trees.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
They'll be nice full of water.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Full of water and happy and all that. So I
think we'll have a good fall too. We'll have all
these tour buses going through looking at our fall color tree.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Here a town, Yeah, Calaheda, you got nothing on.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
So anyway, we've got the moms any from a four
inch pot to a two gallon size, depending on how
much really show you want to start with right away.
And when you plant these moms in the ground, it's
a good idea to make sure the soil is really prepared.
Get a shovel out, and not just the hole itself,
but make it at least twice as wide as a
(03:44):
whole as the size of the container to get out
the shovel a little backwork in it, and it helps
also to put a layer of mulch on there. This
coming week, it's not going to rain at all, so
we're gonna probably towards the end of the week it's
going to get a little draw So you want to
make sure you can get water around that plant so
(04:04):
it's roots can grow out and explore the area. If
you put it in a really heavy soil and anaerobic
type soil, it really won't grow out like that and
it'll just kind of sit there in its own little
pot and then it gets really dry and it'll go
cuplep so just like that. Yeah, like that, So make
sure that you do a good a good site preparation
(04:25):
when we do our landscaping, which golly we've been involved
in we're so far behind because of the weather. Everybody's
fin Yeah, I know, we just get just right, it'll rain,
but anyway, we do a lot of ground preparation prior
to planting these things because it has to transition from
being in this little tiny pot going out in this
(04:47):
big you know area like that, and the riots have
to exploit that real well, and they really won't if
there's this wall of clay in the way, they just
really won't do much. So don't forget the sw prep
when your plant. It doesn't have to be a huge thing.
You can go, you know, twice the size of the
pot at the very least, and just work up the soil.
(05:09):
And if it's real heavy and it's real clumpy, then
it needs some amendment. And that could be the form
of a compost or peat moss or something like that
just to or the shredded multi even potting soil would
work to blend it in with the.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Soil, but you got to work to dirt.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
One way is you have to work it in to
get it to work right. And that acts also as
it's kind of a battery for water storage too, because
it's course stays right there and then then it comes
a point of overwatering too.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
You gotta watch that be just as bad.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
So if you prepare a little bitty hole you know
in it's clay, it's gonna hold water and then you
have root rot. Then it dies from that so you
just have to just make sure it's pretty well drained.
And for the most part, momas do pretty well here.
So they don't like the shade though. No, So okay,
(05:59):
in the garden right now, there's fertilized your spring bulbs,
recent your dapodils, tulips and things like that. If you
have some but a little they're not too picky to
twenty ten or something like that, Uh, to fertilize them
because they're gonna they're some activity starting up on those
two as it cools down and they're getting ready to bloom,
(06:21):
just sprint it. So so you want to try to
fertilize those a little bit. Also, fescue grass is coming
pretty popular right now. Had a customer coming yesterday and
he put down some fescue sod on the ground. Well died. Oh,
I came to start at as a green carper turned
into a brown carpet, and he said, I just pick
(06:42):
it up, and you'll pick up the sod and just
you know, it wasn't even stuck in the ground. Well,
just like a doormat. Yeah, exactly, I guess that would
that's what you'd say. And I asked him did he
do any tilling or anything. Well, no so bingo.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
So anyway, our soil here is dust tend to be
somewhat heavy. Do you want to do some preparation. That's
why we go through kbably three semi truckloads of composts
here here, just so we can get the landscape behind you,
get it ready, so it is time to sew fescue seed.
A deep tailing and lots of composts will make your
efforts successful. There are many varieties of fescue out there,
(07:21):
making this selection difficult. We pick out the one that
does the best here, and it's a blend. There's all
kinds of different stuff in it. So we've done our
research and all that to figure out which is the
best one for this area. So we carry that. It's
a five star blend or something like that. Right now,
leave the permuta grass alone right now. You really don't
(07:44):
want to cut it down too much. You don't want
to spur on a lot of tender girl from the
permutograps because someday we'll get a little chili and it'll
survive the winter better that way if you have some
good heavy stolens on it. So try not to scalp
the bermuda graphs at this point in time and don't
do it and Hall, don't do that really until March. Okay,
then it should survive. Okay, it needs that extra thath
(08:05):
in there, just for some insulation if you will. It
does help moderate peaks and valleys and soil wassher as well.
So any heavy desatcher on the bermuda grass should happen
in March and April, so just kind of leave it alone.
Maybe some ten twenty ten on it right now. The
phosphorus helps a stolen growth a little bit. So it's
(08:28):
about all you want to do with bermuda grass. And
if it gets really dry and one you know, water
at too, even in the wintertime. It's kind of silly,
the water dorm with grass.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
But yeah, it may look silly, but it's basically it's
about the wisest thing you can do.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
But your lng will be the one that looks good.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
It's exactly right.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
So I watched the soil washer too on the winter
for the Bermuda grass, so kind of the same thing
with zoysiaz oisu is really excellent grass. Golly we go,
It's it's just so dense. My neighbor across the street
has some and it's just really really a nice grass.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
That's a good kind of grass to go barefoot.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Yeah, it's a good thing. The wind comes out of
the south a lot of times because my crabgrass will
get it.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
You know, I'm seeing yards in my neighborhood where crabgrass
is the grass.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
I know that I got to the north of me,
and I got to the to the south southwest. It's
just all just all it is crabgrass, and I'm never home,
so I don't know what's up. Oh yeah, So now
also for a winter weeds. Right now, we have a
(09:38):
product called pro diamine in terms of a big old
yellow bag Howard Johnson on it. No, that's the name
of the company.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Okay, I'm thinking that there's gonna be ice cream involved.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
It was that way, but no.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
But anyway, people who are under the age of fifty
have no idea what we just said.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Oh yeah, oh we got when we were travel we
were kids in my teens, sixty eight Mercury, the Howard
how yeah, all right, hell we'd go to Howard Johnson. Anyway,
this company has a granular pro diamine and it's on
a fertilizer pellet. But the fertilizer.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Pellet has a a consistent or contents of zero zero
seven nonrogenal fosters, but a little bit of potassium as
a carrier for the for the herbicide. In other words,
it's an efficient way to spread it out. So they
use a double knot seven as a carrier for this
(10:44):
pre diaming. And it has said what I like about
this particular one is it has a good longevity to
It lasts quite a.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Bit of time. So the the dandelions and the hand
bit and the chickweed are just now starting to come up,
and you've almost missed the boat, guess because of the
sudden weather change. It spurs it them to grow out,
but it's not all out yet, so you still have
time to control the Those are greatly winter weeds. And
(11:14):
it's not going to rain this week to where it'll
wash it all away, So you put it in. This
will be the week to do it, and water it
with your sprinker system or and let it get into
the ground and it stops the well, it doesn't. It
stops root development on you when they when they sprouts physiologically.
That's how pre emergent were still grows, but the roots
(11:36):
don't develop. So so anyway, So for diamine right now,
for a hand bit and chick weed right now, it
will be good time do it again next year in
the spring for crackgrass control.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Got it.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
So I need to learn you just have time to
do this stuff in my heart. Make time to make
some time. Yeah, So you know, that's kind of it
with lawns right now. If your soil is real heavy,
we've had a lot of rain and there might be
some compaction in the soil, so maybe a aerration would work. Okay,
(12:07):
they have spy carriators and whatnot that you can use
to errate it if you will. In some parts of
the town the soil is real heavy and if you
grass just simply doesn't grow, then maybe the soil is
just too compacted. Gypsum also helped to calcium sulfate does
an awfu lot to break up the bonds and these
clay clumps to loosen up the soil.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Very good.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
So just so lawn it's kind of a busy time
for lawns really right now, but you kind of have
to be careful what you're doing. You can cut back
here but medo grass a little bit, but it's going
to be kind of straw like when you do that,
but it'll green up a little bit.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
So that's about it was long.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Al Right about all I got saved by grass. We're
gonna take it a little break and we'll be back
after this too minute.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
All right, welcome back to the Green Country Gardener program.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Larry.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
We've got a call, so let's go ahead and take it.
Good morning, and thank you for holding on. You're on
with the Green Country Gardener. Your question a comment, Yes,
I have.
Speaker 11 (15:26):
A question about one tree. Would you recommend in lieu
of a privacy fence for a commercial property? We were
looking into those type of like cedar trees that are
like pencils fins. We just want something mainly that looks
really good and.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Low maintenance a degree. Sure. Those those plants you're referring
to are called the Taylor junipers, and they are quite
hearty and they do pretty well here. I've seen very
just a little bit of bagworm problems on them, not
that much, but they do. You want to watch out
for that on any species of conifer like that. The
(16:09):
only drawback would be the back rooms. But they don't
get very wide, so it takes a lot of them
to do it. So you have to consider how much
longitudinal space you have and how much the lateral space
you have too for the screen. In other words, if
you have a real narrow area right in there and
you don't want the leaves to come out to interfere
with say parking or people walking or something, then you
(16:31):
do need something narrow and upright like that. And the
tailor juniper is proving itself to be a good performer
in our neck of the woods here.
Speaker 11 (16:40):
Okay, the tailor juniper.
Speaker 12 (16:44):
Okay, they're all over town.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Just drive around and see something pointy like that, that's
the tailor juniper.
Speaker 11 (16:52):
They get very tall.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
They get about twenty five feet tall or so at
the most. And then wow, and they only spread I
guess as big around as I am after eating lunch.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
They don't. They don't get pretty wide.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
You'll probably get two feet wide out of them.
Speaker 11 (17:14):
At Okay, is there any others that you recommend that
are good for this area?
Speaker 2 (17:22):
The yup on holly works pretty well too. It just
kind of grows like a weed and it's easy to maintain. Uh,
it's relatively pest free. But it does get wider than
it is tall. So that's why. That's why I was wondering,
what kind of a lateral space do you have in there?
Maybe a different species, Yeah, not very much space. Yeah,
And so that might work if you have a pretty
(17:43):
good soil, depending on what part of the town you're in.
There's soprieties of holly too. The foster holly would be
a good one also. They get there kind of narrowing
up right, but they'll get up to you know, six
eight feet wide or so. So foster holly is a
good hearty one too, But it is to touch you
when it comes to soil pH A lot of times
our pH seems to be a little high here for
(18:04):
holly plants particularly, and it can come up and do
just find all of a sudden it turns yellow and
sort of dies out. So if your soil is uh,
if you if your soil is really compacted and the
PhD is a little high, then that kind of rules
out any species of holly. Another one is another plant
(18:25):
is arbraviting. There's a variety of ar provided that's narrow
and upright. The group'spider ubroviting is it's kind of a
dwarf one doesn't get very tall. And then there's the
emerald arbraviting. It'll it'll take a fair amount of soil
preparation to get them to work. They're a little touchier
as far as soil requirements are than the juniper. So
(18:49):
the emerald emerald arproviding gets bigger around, then the but
not too big around uh, then the then the tailor junipers.
It gets a little white than that. So you don't
need a many of them. But if we have a
really really cold spell associated with a lot of drought,
you could wipe out your emerald arborvities. And that happened
(19:10):
a number of years ago when we got really cold
with no rain associated with it, and they died all
over town. But the people who kept in water did
did just fine. Are you go ahead?
Speaker 1 (19:27):
What arbroviting?
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Yeah? Yeah, Emerald arborvit a r b O r v
I T A arbor i T. And they're they're pretty
good plants. Now. A drawback of these members of the
pine family like that, they do tend to get back
words too, so and a simple application of BT or
(19:51):
Beatcheller's third Genesis in late March does a pretty good
job keeping them under control. It's very simple to do.
Speaker 11 (19:58):
You've done, okay, okay, thank you.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
So around here, that's thank you. That's if those are
the best ones in Foster. Holly, YopE, I'm holly. It
would be something that's a bit more bulletproof, but they
need more room to grow.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
All right, very good, All right, We're gonna go ahead
and take another break and we'll be right back after
this two minute time out.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
Welcome back to the Green Country Gardener Program. It is Saturday,
September sixth, and you don't what, Larry just a just
about three weeks away from Umpah music. Yeah, October October
fest stuff right that lit. We're taking calls right now
at nine one at rather one eight hundred seven four
(22:51):
nine five nine three six. That's one eight hundred seven
four nine five nine three six. If you got a
question or a comment for our expert Larry last, just
fire away, Larry, what's going on? Where are we now?
Here's I'm all lost?
Speaker 2 (23:05):
He well, lons of time to sew that fescus seed.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
So you want to be sure to till the ground
pretty well? Can't just go buy a sack of seed
and throw it on the ground and push the sprinkler
system button and walk in the house. No, it's it's
it's a little more complicated than that. So now, so
you come by the nursery or something, we can kind
of show you the steps involved with that. Or you
just want to get your ground all turned up. Sure,
(23:30):
and we don't have any rain coming in, so at
least I won't wash away. Yeah, we want to go
ahead and get the tailer out if it'll.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Start, and I'm sure you put some oil in it exactly.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
And do an old moderate tailly probably four inches or
so at least, and that that kind of breaks up
the crust. Our. Soul has a tendency to kind of
crush over the top and turn into an airport. So
we want to try to loosen that up a little bit.
So you want good deeperants on your fescue. But next
summer is going to get hot.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Oh yeah, we just got lucky this year.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Oh yeah, so you want did it ever reach one
hundred once? Just once? For what ten minutes?
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Maybe something like that, Because I was coming back from
Tulsa and I saw it on my dash and I said,
well about time you can stop now.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Yeah, yeah, it's time for the fescue. But you want
good deep roots and they really won't go down deep.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
If the soil is rell heavy, so so good breaking it.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
If if your soil it's really heavy clay and all that,
you might consider adding some gypsum to the soil. Cassium
sulfate has a way of kind of breaking up that
clay a little bit so the roots can get down
in there. So once you get a good deep roots
system established, it should be pretty much on its own
and do quite well. There are some really nice fescue
laws here in town.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Oh yeah, there are.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Yeah, even downtown. You can see around the appeal being
all the beautiful pascue grass around there. So it will
grow here. But there's a little bit of a work involved.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
With it, just a little scot.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Yeah, yeah, just a little bit. So Also, I've got
two appointments after the show, so time to plant, don't
you always? I always have. It's time to do some
planning for the landscape, and it's not that difficult to do.
You kind of look at the architecture of your house
and you don't want to cover up the windows or
(25:29):
anything like that. You want to be able to get
in the front door.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
So you would think, you know, if you.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Want, if you want to put some kind of shrub
and ask how big it's going to get, or it'll
be on the label how large it's going to get. Yeah,
I was driving up here. Notice somebody planted a whole
bunch of trees around the new building here, and they
got a tree they get thirty feet wide five feet
away from the building. So it does make a lot
of sense.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
But somebody's in for a world or hurt.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Yeah, So a little bit of planning helps a whole
lot to make things work out real well in the landscape.
And there are all kinds of plants out there that
start with the word dward for a compact and whatnot,
and they stay relatively small, so we're not limited to great,
big old Burford Hollies and giant Foster Holies and stuff
(26:15):
around the house. There are some things that stays kind
of small that I don't get a lot of bugs
and don't outgrow the space. So keep that in mind too.
I've got some landscapes that are thirty years older doing fine.
I've got to go see one today. Wow, she had
a sewer repair and we did the sprinkler system thirty
years ago, and I asked, well, how's it run. She
said just fine.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
So okay, check on the kids once they've grown up.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
They've gone through. They've gone through like six cars and
ten washing machines, but.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
The system just keep and alone.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
It just got to engineer these things for them to
last like that. So anyway, so always make a plan
for the last fit. You can make just a rough
outline of the house and bring some pictures and then
we can kind of show us some shrub devital worker
Gary or myself or can can do that, can show
you what what plants can kind of do in that situation.
(27:08):
And uh yeah, I got to keep in mind what
these plants are going to do, or prinstances tell you,
is to give you some green leaves all year around me.
They have some flowers on them during the course of
the years. They're kind of nice and say the dwarf
felp on holly, which is kind of a workhorse in
the landscape. So many windows are real low to the ground,
so you want something that's going to stay kind of
(27:28):
like that, and that that's what you so you don't
have this giant thing hold hiding the window, you know.
So So anyway, so there are solutions, pretty simple solutions
to your landscaping and stuff like that. It's time to
plan for that too. Trees also elected to make trees
work in the landscape. They provide shade, color and architectural
(27:50):
la situation, and provide habitats for wildlife. There as many
tree species or grow here as anyone who could possibly consider.
And when it's choosing a tree, you can must consider
first what role the tree used to play in the landscape.
Is it going to be for shade, is going to
be for specimen interest or whatever, so flowering shade or
(28:16):
fall color. So all these factors have to be played
in picking up a tree. And know where your waterline
is too. Don't plan on top of your water wine
color we do.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Good morning, and welcome to the Green Country Gardener program.
Your question what you comment?
Speaker 18 (28:29):
Hey, good morning Tom and Larry, and I do have
a question. My elephant heirs have out grown the big
tub that I put them in, and I was going
to transplant them and maybe cut them in half and
put one down another big tub. But am I too
light to be doing that in the year because they'll
(28:52):
be going in the house there before too long.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Yeah, you want to go ahead and dig them up,
and you can divide them anytime during the wintertime or
something for them to and then plant them separately at
that point. Yeah, so yeah, ahead, I'm sorry, go ahead,
go ahead and enjoy them like they are right now,
and then actually have a big old freeze. Just kind
(29:14):
of dig them up and divide the bulbs and set
them in. So that's what I do with mine. I
set them in the garage all winter and then.
Speaker 18 (29:23):
Pot upside down and dump it out. Uh do I
just kind of cut them cut it in half.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Well, actually, no, you're really they'll have bulbs and they'll
have bulblets, and you just kind of break them apart,
and so you have separate bulbs around. They will produce
little bulbs beside them, and then then you can break
them up at that point. And I just put mine
in the cardboard box and set them in the garage
(29:48):
and put them back in the ground and uh, you know,
middle late March, early April.
Speaker 18 (29:56):
Okay, I just set them on my Sure, maybe a
plasure wait till next spring to do this, but I
can do it right now.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
I want to get cold.
Speaker 18 (30:04):
I'll just bring them.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
In the house right well, not in the house, somewhere
where it's relatively cool.
Speaker 18 (30:11):
Okay, if you have out of mud room, that's yeah, or.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
A garage, an enclosed garage works pretty good, and they'll
do fine. All right, very good, All right, thank you guys.
All right, Yeah I did that football put them in
the garage last year and they all came came out.
But yeah, one that is just giant. I mean this
see yes, it's six.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Feet across, six feet huge.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Yeah wow, okay, yeah, I didn't think it was. It
sat there forever didn't do anything else. It grew out, okay,
and then now we got these giant leads as tall
as I am.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Wow. You oh, you're not exactly sure, you're about six
two yeah wow, goodness, Gracest's take a quick break and
we'll be back after this two minute timeout.

All Right, we're gonna get your calls here real quick.
And you are listening to the Green Country Gardner program.
He's Verry Glass. He knows something. I'm Tom Davis. I
just dancew the phones one eight seven, three six. Larry,
we have a caller, call her, Good morning and welcome aboard.
What do you have for us today?
Speaker 20 (33:28):
Good morning guys. I wasn't able to listen earlier. You
might have mentioned it, but is it time to put
them pro diamine? Yeah, on bermuda. Yes, okay, all right,
that's that's that's all I needed. All right, next next week.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Follow those directions, get get a wigglong. That's kind of
cool out there, and I've seen some emergence from some
of the leads, so do we get to it right away?
All right, thanks for calling me.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
All right, there you go. It's that easy. Three six,
and then good morning. You are on the air with
Larry Glass. Hi, how can we help you? Hey?
Speaker 20 (34:10):
Hey, Larry, Hey, this is Kobe. I came in the
Greenhouse yesterday and spoke to your partner. Anyway, we're wanting
to plant some trees and I know the best time
to plant trees is after your last freeze in spring.
But what are some What are some trees I can
plant for fall?
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Okay, it depends on There's some factories you got to
consider in doing that. How much room do you have
for the tree to grow? Number one? And your soil
type uh, and the drainage. All these other factors had
to factor in there, and your underground utilities and overhead utilities,
et cetera, et cetera. So probably a Chinese for sash
would do fine. Okay. They're kind of a medium sized
(34:51):
tree and they exhibit a really extraordinarily fall color. They
are dioecious, though, so you got to your choice to
be there male or a female. Yeah, so you want
a male tree if you can look under the leaves
and see what it is. So the pistache would be
a good one. The October Lawyer red sunset. The red
(35:14):
maples do a very good job too also, but if
you have a lot of clay or some shallow rock,
they's going to be a bit of a root nuisance
on you. So, and of course the big old oak trees.
The color variation on a oak tree here is variable
from year to year. I mean, some years we might
have a good show, some years we might not. But anyway,
(35:36):
so probably consider so all these factories. Consider how much
space you have, and how far away from your waterline
and utility lines and all this other stuff. Usually we'll
pretty much give you an idea of what kind of
a tree you can have and how big a tree
you can have. The red maple is a good one, too. Awesome.
Speaker 20 (35:56):
Yeah, that's one of my favorites. I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Okay, thanks for telling.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
We've got another call coming in right now, so let's
go for that. Hi, good morning, and welcome to the
Green Country Gardener Program. Your question or comment for Larry.
Speaker 12 (36:11):
Hey, I was just wondering if you've got any orange
trees or.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Anything orange tree, some citrus. I always have a few
here and there, but not a whole lot. We've got
some with the nursery, all right, Thanks, all right, thanks
for calling. All right, all right, I hope obeys mentioned
(36:36):
could have been a fall colored tree.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
All right, there we go. Hi, good morning, Welcome to
the Green Country Gardener Program. You're on the air with Larry.
What do you got for us today?
Speaker 2 (36:45):
I have a comment?
Speaker 21 (36:46):
All right, We're talking about planting trees and the wrong
places a boy.
Speaker 7 (36:52):
Well, a few years.
Speaker 21 (36:53):
Back I planted a about a four foot Christmas tree
about three foot from the corner of my bedroom outside,
and I thought it would stay pretty close to that height.
After a few years, it grew up past the eve
of the house and I saided in it was time
to get rid of it. So I called the neighbor
(37:15):
and they had some teenage boys or almost teenage boys,
and told them if they would like to have the
tree for a Christmas tree, they could come and cut
it down. They were so excited, and I think that
tree was worth every bit of the price I paid
for it. But it was little to just watch those
(37:37):
kids enjoy cutting that tree down and ease it for
a Christmas tree.
Speaker 11 (37:42):
That ten foot tall by Ben.
Speaker 21 (37:45):
All Right, That was just my comment that.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
Hi, good morning, and welcome to the Green Country Gardener program.
What you got for us today?
Speaker 22 (37:57):
Yeah, I'm not studied the different types of mushrooms and
stuff that's coming up in the yards. It's kind of neat.
How didn't I don't know if he's studied about mushrooms
and stuff because of the moisture in the rain. But
you know, you notice a lot of the mushrooms in
the yard which I mowed mine down, But a lot
(38:18):
of them is in a circle or half moon shape,
a half moon. That's kind of interesting. How come they
they grow in certain patterns, the mushrooms.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Yeah, Actually the mushroom you see on top is a flower.
It's a flowering probably if a subterranean my cellium. It's
a fungus. It's type of fungus that lives underground. And
it usually it starts with maybe a piece of wood
or old cowl round through the front yard or something
and made it dropping in the middle and then and
(38:49):
it grows in a circular fashion like that.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Really.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
Yeah, but the mushroom itself is a flowering part of
a subterranean cell right right.
Speaker 22 (39:01):
I know, I know the morales are, you know, annible
and all that, But yeah, I heard these a couple
of kids down about three thousand road. Gotta hold some
poison ones. I'm not sure how they may. I don't
know how bad they got sick, but I don't know.
Down about three thousand road. Yeah, hold some mushrooms.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
You'll make you pretty sick. You need you need to
know your mushroom. Uh yeah, yeah, a lot of them
are that are big and white and.
Speaker 22 (39:30):
Uh was white big brown white, Yeah, and.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
They're they're called ferry rings for the most part, and
a lot of times right in the middle of there,
there'll be an old tree stump or something in there
where they started, right, and then it just grows out
in the radio pattern like that, and eventually it becomes
it kind of breaks up a little bit over time, right,
But it's an interesting.
Speaker 22 (39:52):
You know if you knew, but yeah, ain't interesting pattern.
And some of them, you know, you see a whole
totally just one big ring, or some of them half
mod you know, moon, yeah, shapes and all that. So
it's interesting.
Speaker 23 (40:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
I really don't know the physics behind their physiology behind
them growing in a ring like that, but I imagine
it has something to do with whether when they spread,
they don't spread against each other. And they all tend
to just grow out in a radio pattern like that,
and after a while it kind of breaks up. But
it's kind of interesting the way that happens. Yeah, but
(40:26):
don't don't eat them.
Speaker 22 (40:27):
No, no, no, no, I know that, so, yeah, don't
put them. It's interesting. How uh who was the first one,
you know, like the Morales who discovered that you could
eat them? Who was the first guinea pig to try
one said hey, hey, sister, eat this sick we can
(40:48):
eat it?
Speaker 2 (40:49):
Or yeah, then you walk back home and PLoP. Well,
let's try these others, you know.
Speaker 22 (40:54):
Yeah, I don't know when they just who discovered who
could eat them or what?
Speaker 9 (40:58):
You know?
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Guessing it was either dog or nog about.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
Somebody had to eat that bushroom first to find out.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
We've got another call on the line. Hi, and welcome
to the Green Country Gardener Program. What do you have
for Larry Glass or expert today?
Speaker 12 (41:23):
Yeah, I'm just that there's y'all. So i'd be sort
of like sprinkler loud or sprinkler on there. Anything I
can put it in the sprinkler system and unclog it
and make it run better more pressure.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
Uh, that's that's a loaded question really. Typically a throttling
of the sprinkler system like that could be in the
valve itself. In other words, you shut off your your
your your water to your sprinkler system, and if you
have access to the valves that run it, you might
want to start by unscrewing the soleenoid and letting it
(41:57):
blow out a little bit and putting them back in.
That could be throttling it acting as a regulator. If
there's something stuck in the solar wide of your sprinkler,
in other words, it's not opening all the way. Uh.
If that doesn't work, then it's probably something in a
diaphragm in there. So you then you take off the
upper half of the valve and and check it out.
Speaker 22 (42:16):
And see, I hate messing with them, I get so, honey.
Speaker 12 (42:23):
I've had it for about twenty years.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
Been a long time.
Speaker 12 (42:25):
Yeah, I got some work I hate.
Speaker 2 (42:30):
Okay. Another thing you can do is turn it on
and and listen. Listen to the valves. If you hear
a lot of cavitation in in a in a valve,
either a shut off valve or something that could be
just something stuck somewhere, and that's that's when I do
a diagnosis like that. I listen and if I hear
some cavitation like that, that's typically where the problem is.
Speaker 12 (42:54):
I'll go out. I appreciate it. I hope I can't
get on.
Speaker 2 (42:58):
If you get a like a if it's a pipe
or something, you can put it inside the valve box
and listen to it. That way, and it's a good
way to and just you know, and just you know
what water sounds like when you open up the faucet
just a little bit, make the kind of a hissing sound. Well,
if you hear that on the sprinkler system, there's something
wrong in that particular place.
Speaker 1 (43:18):
Fake for your call. Alrighty, we gonna have to take
a break. We'll be right back after this two minutes.
And I'm gonna say twenty second time out.

Back in the early nineteen thirties, Frank and Jane Phillips
hosted a wonderful party at their lodge home at Willarock.
For this special party, Frank hired the world famous magician
Harry Blackstone to provide the entertainment for the large crowd.
Throughout the evening, Blackstone amazed the guests with his card
tricks in sleight of hand, with the crowd applauding and
(44:17):
laughing as the tricks got better and better. Finally, Blackstone
asked Jane Phillips to step forward. He reached into his
coat and removed a new deck of cards and dramatically
unwrapped them. Removed the cards from the deck and shuffle
them several times. He then asked missus Phillips to cut
the cards, which she did, pulling the Queen of Spage,
(44:38):
which she showed to the crowd. She put the card
back into the deck and Blackstone carefully shuffled the cards
two or three times, then suddenly spun around and threw
the entire deck of cards into the wall of the lodge,
just to the left of the front door. Fifty one
cards fell to the floor and the Queen of Spades
stuck on the wall, where it still remains today. A
(45:01):
perfect example of the magic of Wellarock. Come see it

Speaker 2 (46:07):
Anyway Landscape the landscape plan. It's always a good idea. Sorry,
If anything, If I just come out and draw a
little circles some things around here to show you what'll do,
it gives you some idea of what there's just such
a wide variety of different plants from which to choose
on a landscape, and you have to factor in drainage,
sunlight exposure and all that and soil type and how
(46:31):
far away from how much roomors are available to put
these plants and so, and how high are the windows
on the house. What is the is a house made
of brick? You don't want to use too many dandinas.
But anyway, so there's there's different factoris you got to
put in and also how much time is the customer
willing to put in to maintaining this landscape? There you
(46:53):
go if do they want to be bolded to it
or do they want to have something they can completely ignore.
We did a landscape for somebody about three years ago,
and he was the anti landscaper. You don't want to
do anything to his yard. He's out there right now.
We made almost a bulletproof landscape, but he's there every day.
He got he kind of got into it. He's and
(47:15):
sort of got you know, he's very involved in his
landscape and he's so it's kind of fun to see
people do that because you're retired. What else are you
going to.
Speaker 1 (47:23):
Do landscaping these days?
Speaker 2 (47:27):
So anyway, he enjoys that, the relaxation of taking care
of the plants and managing them and all that. So
so so there's all these factors together to consider him
doing a landscape plan. And that's something we incorporate in
a design, something that's going to succeed rather than you
plan for success. And you might not agree with their
(47:48):
type of plants we put in, but those are the
ones that will work in that situation, and then we
can switch them to maybe a parallel that'll grow in
the environment in which they are. So that's kind of
easy to do. It's easy to change. So you do
it on a cab program, so it's real quick and
easy to change things out. So anyway, a tree of
the week is a shoe martoak, which is kind of
(48:10):
a native species, not of for it's good fall color,
lots of acorns and squirrels and things, so it makes
a really good big shade tree in the landscape. And
make sure you have a lot of room for this flat.
Speaker 1 (48:23):
Like twenty feet away from that. There's a.
Speaker 2 (48:26):
On this thing, a picture of a house that we
did back in the eighties and those look at the
size of that treeage. It's bigger than the house. That
thing is just huge, and it's in the right place.
It shields the house from the afternoon sun, but it's
(48:48):
it's far away enough from the house where it's not
a problem, but it's as big as the house.
Speaker 1 (48:51):
So just know what you're getting into.
Speaker 2 (48:54):
But also the soil conditions over there were not that good.
There were, and you needed a deeply rooted plant. And
this this is about five ft away from the sidewalk
and there's not a crack in the sidewalk anywhere. So
you gotta factor all this stuff in with picking out
a plant. What do you wanted to do, and how
big is it going to get, how far away from
(49:14):
the house planted? All these factories you have to consider
in there when picking out trees in the landscape. Not
just fall color, not just the pretty and all that.
You've got to consider how is this going to coexist
in your landscape. So there are a lot of them
out there to choose a lot of different sizes and
shapes and colors of trees and plants and things, and
(49:35):
so the sight and the requirements or the should be
the deciding factor, not how pretty it is. Okay, all right,
Oh okay, So anyway, anyway, at the nursery, We've got
all kinds of mums and pansies right now. The pansies
are are are here looking kind of pretty. That will
(49:58):
be time to plant those real singy people buying them
all over the place. You got mums everywhere. They're just
rolling all out of there, so come check it out.
We have several kinds of mums at the nursery, several
sizes right now, and we have some things on sale
African violets and citrus and clematis and crepe myrtles and
dad their own sale right now. We have a lot
of things on sale.
Speaker 1 (50:18):
No kids, big you gotta have to have a lot
of things.
Speaker 2 (50:21):
We gotta have room for all this new stuff. So
you can come by and check it out and get
excited about we gally. I was in there yesterday. People
were just walking out with these big old mud plants.
I mean they're like bushold bathrooms. Like wow, we and
uh they're they're really nice and attractive and very healthy plants.
So anyway, come by the nursery and check us out.
(50:43):
We're on the south side of No Water Road, right
between Washington and Madison, Billvard on the south side and Uh,
we got all kinds of plants and trees, all kinds
of advice, and a waterfall, and a waterfall in the
green outs. You can come by and check us out.

everywhere else all over.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
You you're today, Todd, What a difference today, and yeah,
you know, especially jeez.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
We're here in the seventies a week after Labor Day
in this part of the world.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Yeah, it was it was what five thousand degrees a
couple of weeks ago. Yeah, now and now it's down
to you know, fifty five right now. That kind of
messes with your metabolism a little bit.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Oh my goodness sake. You know, we went from the
Susie Homemaker easy bake up and it's just pretty right nice.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
I know, great weather, and this week I'll leave the
weather looks stillar that it's gonna be a little bit
on the warm side on today, but compared to what
it has been you know, one hundred and what was it,
one hundred and twenty degrees or something.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Something like that.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yeah, it's not going to be that bad anyway. At
the nursery of course when the season changed. We have
all kinds of cool stuff happening.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
You and Gary stay after and starting changing things in
and out right.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
We got all kinds of mums right now. Mum's the word,
and their color is just about ready to burst on them.
We got anything from four inch to the two gallon sides,
so they're really quite showy.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Mums are plenty.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Mums is the word. Yeah. So we got those flowering
kale cabbage coming home pretty soon too. We got a
few pansies right now. It's okay to plant pansies right now.
They'll do okay. If it doesn't get to be one
hundred and four degrees, it'll be fine.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I don't think it will.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Oh you just wait, I know, just right before October?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
What is that?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
I see? Where are we on this thing? I got
this deal here?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Ah this chart?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yes, yeah, in September, the average yeah, the record high
was one hundred and ten and the record low was
twenty nine.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
It could go either way. We live in a volatile climate.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
And we got a little bit of bumping average precipitation
too coming on. So after that it kind of goes
down a little bit. But well, October is really more
rainy than September, but we got you know, we're still
in the midst of a somewhat of a rainy period
if you will, coming on.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
So, yeah, it's great. It's better than a two year
draft that we had.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Oh man, that's crazy. Yeah, you look on the tree
rings a different area right there where well what happened
It was nuclear holocaust. I don't know. It was pretty
bad there for about three years. But anyway, things are
coming around pretty good, and I think it's going to
be a really good fall and they're going to have
some great color too, because this rain that we got
(03:04):
a good kind of final blast for the trees.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
They'll be nice full of water.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Full of water and happy and all that. So I
think we'll have a good fall too. We'll have all
these tour buses going through looking at our fall color tree.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Here a town, Yeah, Calaheda, you got nothing on.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
So anyway, we've got the moms any from a four
inch pot to a two gallon size, depending on how
much really show you want to start with right away.
And when you plant these moms in the ground, it's
a good idea to make sure the soil is really prepared.
Get a shovel out, and not just the hole itself,
but make it at least twice as wide as a
(03:44):
whole as the size of the container to get out
the shovel a little backwork in it, and it helps
also to put a layer of mulch on there. This
coming week, it's not going to rain at all, so
we're gonna probably towards the end of the week it's
going to get a little draw So you want to
make sure you can get water around that plant so
(04:04):
it's roots can grow out and explore the area. If
you put it in a really heavy soil and anaerobic
type soil, it really won't grow out like that and
it'll just kind of sit there in its own little
pot and then it gets really dry and it'll go
cuplep so just like that. Yeah, like that, So make
sure that you do a good a good site preparation
(04:25):
when we do our landscaping, which golly we've been involved
in we're so far behind because of the weather. Everybody's
fin Yeah, I know, we just get just right, it'll rain,
but anyway, we do a lot of ground preparation prior
to planting these things because it has to transition from
being in this little tiny pot going out in this
(04:47):
big you know area like that, and the riots have
to exploit that real well, and they really won't if
there's this wall of clay in the way, they just
really won't do much. So don't forget the sw prep
when your plant. It doesn't have to be a huge thing.
You can go, you know, twice the size of the
pot at the very least, and just work up the soil.
(05:09):
And if it's real heavy and it's real clumpy, then
it needs some amendment. And that could be the form
of a compost or peat moss or something like that
just to or the shredded multi even potting soil would
work to blend it in with the.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Soil, but you got to work to dirt.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
One way is you have to work it in to
get it to work right. And that acts also as
it's kind of a battery for water storage too, because
it's course stays right there and then then it comes
a point of overwatering too.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
You gotta watch that be just as bad.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
So if you prepare a little bitty hole you know
in it's clay, it's gonna hold water and then you
have root rot. Then it dies from that so you
just have to just make sure it's pretty well drained.
And for the most part, momas do pretty well here.
So they don't like the shade though. No, So okay,
(05:59):
in the garden right now, there's fertilized your spring bulbs,
recent your dapodils, tulips and things like that. If you
have some but a little they're not too picky to
twenty ten or something like that, Uh, to fertilize them
because they're gonna they're some activity starting up on those
two as it cools down and they're getting ready to bloom,
(06:21):
just sprint it. So so you want to try to
fertilize those a little bit. Also, fescue grass is coming
pretty popular right now. Had a customer coming yesterday and
he put down some fescue sod on the ground. Well died. Oh,
I came to start at as a green carper turned
into a brown carpet, and he said, I just pick
(06:42):
it up, and you'll pick up the sod and just
you know, it wasn't even stuck in the ground. Well,
just like a doormat. Yeah, exactly, I guess that would
that's what you'd say. And I asked him did he
do any tilling or anything. Well, no so bingo.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
So anyway, our soil here is dust tend to be
somewhat heavy. Do you want to do some preparation. That's
why we go through kbably three semi truckloads of composts
here here, just so we can get the landscape behind you,
get it ready, so it is time to sew fescue seed.
A deep tailing and lots of composts will make your
efforts successful. There are many varieties of fescue out there,
(07:21):
making this selection difficult. We pick out the one that
does the best here, and it's a blend. There's all
kinds of different stuff in it. So we've done our
research and all that to figure out which is the
best one for this area. So we carry that. It's
a five star blend or something like that. Right now,
leave the permuta grass alone right now. You really don't
(07:44):
want to cut it down too much. You don't want
to spur on a lot of tender girl from the
permutograps because someday we'll get a little chili and it'll
survive the winter better that way if you have some
good heavy stolens on it. So try not to scalp
the bermuda graphs at this point in time and don't
do it and Hall, don't do that really until March. Okay,
then it should survive. Okay, it needs that extra thath
(08:05):
in there, just for some insulation if you will. It
does help moderate peaks and valleys and soil wassher as well.
So any heavy desatcher on the bermuda grass should happen
in March and April, so just kind of leave it alone.
Maybe some ten twenty ten on it right now. The
phosphorus helps a stolen growth a little bit. So it's
(08:28):
about all you want to do with bermuda grass. And
if it gets really dry and one you know, water
at too, even in the wintertime. It's kind of silly,
the water dorm with grass.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
But yeah, it may look silly, but it's basically it's
about the wisest thing you can do.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
But your lng will be the one that looks good.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
It's exactly right.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
So I watched the soil washer too on the winter
for the Bermuda grass, so kind of the same thing
with zoysiaz oisu is really excellent grass. Golly we go,
It's it's just so dense. My neighbor across the street
has some and it's just really really a nice grass.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
That's a good kind of grass to go barefoot.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Yeah, it's a good thing. The wind comes out of
the south a lot of times because my crabgrass will
get it.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
You know, I'm seeing yards in my neighborhood where crabgrass
is the grass.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
I know that I got to the north of me,
and I got to the to the south southwest. It's
just all just all it is crabgrass, and I'm never home,
so I don't know what's up. Oh yeah, So now
also for a winter weeds. Right now, we have a
(09:38):
product called pro diamine in terms of a big old
yellow bag Howard Johnson on it. No, that's the name
of the company.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Okay, I'm thinking that there's gonna be ice cream involved.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
It was that way, but no.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
But anyway, people who are under the age of fifty
have no idea what we just said.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Oh yeah, oh we got when we were travel we
were kids in my teens, sixty eight Mercury, the Howard
how yeah, all right, hell we'd go to Howard Johnson. Anyway,
this company has a granular pro diamine and it's on
a fertilizer pellet. But the fertilizer.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Pellet has a a consistent or contents of zero zero
seven nonrogenal fosters, but a little bit of potassium as
a carrier for the for the herbicide. In other words,
it's an efficient way to spread it out. So they
use a double knot seven as a carrier for this
(10:44):
pre diaming. And it has said what I like about
this particular one is it has a good longevity to
It lasts quite a.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Bit of time. So the the dandelions and the hand
bit and the chickweed are just now starting to come up,
and you've almost missed the boat, guess because of the
sudden weather change. It spurs it them to grow out,
but it's not all out yet, so you still have
time to control the Those are greatly winter weeds. And
(11:14):
it's not going to rain this week to where it'll
wash it all away, So you put it in. This
will be the week to do it, and water it
with your sprinker system or and let it get into
the ground and it stops the well, it doesn't. It
stops root development on you when they when they sprouts physiologically.
That's how pre emergent were still grows, but the roots
(11:36):
don't develop. So so anyway, So for diamine right now,
for a hand bit and chick weed right now, it
will be good time do it again next year in
the spring for crackgrass control.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Got it.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
So I need to learn you just have time to
do this stuff in my heart. Make time to make
some time. Yeah, So you know, that's kind of it
with lawns right now. If your soil is real heavy,
we've had a lot of rain and there might be
some compaction in the soil, so maybe a aerration would work. Okay,
(12:07):
they have spy carriators and whatnot that you can use
to errate it if you will. In some parts of
the town the soil is real heavy and if you
grass just simply doesn't grow, then maybe the soil is
just too compacted. Gypsum also helped to calcium sulfate does
an awfu lot to break up the bonds and these
clay clumps to loosen up the soil.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Very good.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
So just so lawn it's kind of a busy time
for lawns really right now, but you kind of have
to be careful what you're doing. You can cut back
here but medo grass a little bit, but it's going
to be kind of straw like when you do that,
but it'll green up a little bit.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
So that's about it was long.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Al Right about all I got saved by grass. We're
gonna take it a little break and we'll be back
after this too minute.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
All right, welcome back to the Green Country Gardener program.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Larry.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
We've got a call, so let's go ahead and take it.
Good morning, and thank you for holding on. You're on
with the Green Country Gardener. Your question a comment, Yes,
I have.
Speaker 11 (15:26):
A question about one tree. Would you recommend in lieu
of a privacy fence for a commercial property? We were
looking into those type of like cedar trees that are
like pencils fins. We just want something mainly that looks
really good and.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Low maintenance a degree. Sure. Those those plants you're referring
to are called the Taylor junipers, and they are quite
hearty and they do pretty well here. I've seen very
just a little bit of bagworm problems on them, not
that much, but they do. You want to watch out
for that on any species of conifer like that. The
(16:09):
only drawback would be the back rooms. But they don't
get very wide, so it takes a lot of them
to do it. So you have to consider how much
longitudinal space you have and how much the lateral space
you have too for the screen. In other words, if
you have a real narrow area right in there and
you don't want the leaves to come out to interfere
with say parking or people walking or something, then you
(16:31):
do need something narrow and upright like that. And the
tailor juniper is proving itself to be a good performer
in our neck of the woods here.
Speaker 11 (16:40):
Okay, the tailor juniper.
Speaker 12 (16:44):
Okay, they're all over town.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Just drive around and see something pointy like that, that's
the tailor juniper.
Speaker 11 (16:52):
They get very tall.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
They get about twenty five feet tall or so at
the most. And then wow, and they only spread I
guess as big around as I am after eating lunch.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
They don't. They don't get pretty wide.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
You'll probably get two feet wide out of them.
Speaker 11 (17:14):
At Okay, is there any others that you recommend that
are good for this area?
Speaker 2 (17:22):
The yup on holly works pretty well too. It just
kind of grows like a weed and it's easy to maintain. Uh,
it's relatively pest free. But it does get wider than
it is tall. So that's why. That's why I was wondering,
what kind of a lateral space do you have in there?
Maybe a different species, Yeah, not very much space. Yeah,
And so that might work if you have a pretty
(17:43):
good soil, depending on what part of the town you're in.
There's soprieties of holly too. The foster holly would be
a good one also. They get there kind of narrowing
up right, but they'll get up to you know, six
eight feet wide or so. So foster holly is a
good hearty one too, But it is to touch you
when it comes to soil pH A lot of times
our pH seems to be a little high here for
(18:04):
holly plants particularly, and it can come up and do
just find all of a sudden it turns yellow and
sort of dies out. So if your soil is uh,
if you if your soil is really compacted and the
PhD is a little high, then that kind of rules
out any species of holly. Another one is another plant
(18:25):
is arbraviting. There's a variety of ar provided that's narrow
and upright. The group'spider ubroviting is it's kind of a
dwarf one doesn't get very tall. And then there's the
emerald arbraviting. It'll it'll take a fair amount of soil
preparation to get them to work. They're a little touchier
as far as soil requirements are than the juniper. So
(18:49):
the emerald emerald arproviding gets bigger around, then the but
not too big around uh, then the then the tailor junipers.
It gets a little white than that. So you don't
need a many of them. But if we have a
really really cold spell associated with a lot of drought,
you could wipe out your emerald arborvities. And that happened
(19:10):
a number of years ago when we got really cold
with no rain associated with it, and they died all
over town. But the people who kept in water did
did just fine. Are you go ahead?
Speaker 1 (19:27):
What arbroviting?
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Yeah? Yeah, Emerald arborvit a r b O r v
I T A arbor i T. And they're they're pretty
good plants. Now. A drawback of these members of the
pine family like that, they do tend to get back
words too, so and a simple application of BT or
(19:51):
Beatcheller's third Genesis in late March does a pretty good
job keeping them under control. It's very simple to do.
Speaker 11 (19:58):
You've done, okay, okay, thank you.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
So around here, that's thank you. That's if those are
the best ones in Foster. Holly, YopE, I'm holly. It
would be something that's a bit more bulletproof, but they
need more room to grow.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
All right, very good, All right, We're gonna go ahead
and take another break and we'll be right back after
this two minute time out.

FM ninety three three and ninety five one, and.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Welcome back to the Green Country Gardener Program. It is Saturday,
September sixth, and you don't what, Larry just a just
about three weeks away from Umpah music. Yeah, October October
fest stuff right that lit. We're taking calls right now
at nine one at rather one eight hundred seven four
(22:51):
nine five nine three six. That's one eight hundred seven
four nine five nine three six. If you got a
question or a comment for our expert Larry last, just
fire away, Larry, what's going on? Where are we now?
Here's I'm all lost?
Speaker 2 (23:05):
He well, lons of time to sew that fescus seed.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
So you want to be sure to till the ground
pretty well? Can't just go buy a sack of seed
and throw it on the ground and push the sprinkler
system button and walk in the house. No, it's it's
it's a little more complicated than that. So now, so
you come by the nursery or something, we can kind
of show you the steps involved with that. Or you
just want to get your ground all turned up. Sure,
(23:30):
and we don't have any rain coming in, so at
least I won't wash away. Yeah, we want to go
ahead and get the tailer out if it'll.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Start, and I'm sure you put some oil in it exactly.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
And do an old moderate tailly probably four inches or
so at least, and that that kind of breaks up
the crust. Our. Soul has a tendency to kind of
crush over the top and turn into an airport. So
we want to try to loosen that up a little bit.
So you want good deeperants on your fescue. But next
summer is going to get hot.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Oh yeah, we just got lucky this year.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Oh yeah, so you want did it ever reach one
hundred once? Just once? For what ten minutes?
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Maybe something like that, Because I was coming back from
Tulsa and I saw it on my dash and I said,
well about time you can stop now.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Yeah, yeah, it's time for the fescue. But you want
good deep roots and they really won't go down deep.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
If the soil is rell heavy, so so good breaking it.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
If if your soil it's really heavy clay and all that,
you might consider adding some gypsum to the soil. Cassium
sulfate has a way of kind of breaking up that
clay a little bit so the roots can get down
in there. So once you get a good deep roots
system established, it should be pretty much on its own
and do quite well. There are some really nice fescue
laws here in town.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Oh yeah, there are.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Yeah, even downtown. You can see around the appeal being
all the beautiful pascue grass around there. So it will
grow here. But there's a little bit of a work involved.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
With it, just a little scot.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Yeah, yeah, just a little bit. So Also, I've got
two appointments after the show, so time to plant, don't
you always? I always have. It's time to do some
planning for the landscape, and it's not that difficult to do.
You kind of look at the architecture of your house
and you don't want to cover up the windows or
(25:29):
anything like that. You want to be able to get
in the front door.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
So you would think, you know, if you.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Want, if you want to put some kind of shrub
and ask how big it's going to get, or it'll
be on the label how large it's going to get. Yeah,
I was driving up here. Notice somebody planted a whole
bunch of trees around the new building here, and they
got a tree they get thirty feet wide five feet
away from the building. So it does make a lot
of sense.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
But somebody's in for a world or hurt.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Yeah, So a little bit of planning helps a whole
lot to make things work out real well in the landscape.
And there are all kinds of plants out there that
start with the word dward for a compact and whatnot,
and they stay relatively small, so we're not limited to great,
big old Burford Hollies and giant Foster Holies and stuff
(26:15):
around the house. There are some things that stays kind
of small that I don't get a lot of bugs
and don't outgrow the space. So keep that in mind too.
I've got some landscapes that are thirty years older doing fine.
I've got to go see one today. Wow, she had
a sewer repair and we did the sprinkler system thirty
years ago, and I asked, well, how's it run. She
said just fine.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
So okay, check on the kids once they've grown up.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
They've gone through. They've gone through like six cars and
ten washing machines, but.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
The system just keep and alone.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
It just got to engineer these things for them to
last like that. So anyway, so always make a plan
for the last fit. You can make just a rough
outline of the house and bring some pictures and then
we can kind of show us some shrub devital worker
Gary or myself or can can do that, can show
you what what plants can kind of do in that situation.
(27:08):
And uh yeah, I got to keep in mind what
these plants are going to do, or prinstances tell you,
is to give you some green leaves all year around me.
They have some flowers on them during the course of
the years. They're kind of nice and say the dwarf
felp on holly, which is kind of a workhorse in
the landscape. So many windows are real low to the ground,
so you want something that's going to stay kind of
(27:28):
like that, and that that's what you so you don't
have this giant thing hold hiding the window, you know.
So So anyway, so there are solutions, pretty simple solutions
to your landscaping and stuff like that. It's time to
plan for that too. Trees also elected to make trees
work in the landscape. They provide shade, color and architectural
(27:50):
la situation, and provide habitats for wildlife. There as many
tree species or grow here as anyone who could possibly consider.
And when it's choosing a tree, you can must consider
first what role the tree used to play in the landscape.
Is it going to be for shade, is going to
be for specimen interest or whatever, so flowering shade or
(28:16):
fall color. So all these factors have to be played
in picking up a tree. And know where your waterline
is too. Don't plan on top of your water wine
color we do.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Good morning, and welcome to the Green Country Gardener program.
Your question what you comment?
Speaker 18 (28:29):
Hey, good morning Tom and Larry, and I do have
a question. My elephant heirs have out grown the big
tub that I put them in, and I was going
to transplant them and maybe cut them in half and
put one down another big tub. But am I too
light to be doing that in the year because they'll
(28:52):
be going in the house there before too long.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Yeah, you want to go ahead and dig them up,
and you can divide them anytime during the wintertime or
something for them to and then plant them separately at
that point. Yeah, so yeah, ahead, I'm sorry, go ahead,
go ahead and enjoy them like they are right now,
and then actually have a big old freeze. Just kind
(29:14):
of dig them up and divide the bulbs and set
them in. So that's what I do with mine. I
set them in the garage all winter and then.
Speaker 18 (29:23):
Pot upside down and dump it out. Uh do I
just kind of cut them cut it in half.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Well, actually, no, you're really they'll have bulbs and they'll
have bulblets, and you just kind of break them apart,
and so you have separate bulbs around. They will produce
little bulbs beside them, and then then you can break
them up at that point. And I just put mine
in the cardboard box and set them in the garage
(29:48):
and put them back in the ground and uh, you know,
middle late March, early April.
Speaker 18 (29:56):
Okay, I just set them on my Sure, maybe a
plasure wait till next spring to do this, but I
can do it right now.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
I want to get cold.
Speaker 18 (30:04):
I'll just bring them.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
In the house right well, not in the house, somewhere
where it's relatively cool.
Speaker 18 (30:11):
Okay, if you have out of mud room, that's yeah, or.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
A garage, an enclosed garage works pretty good, and they'll
do fine. All right, very good, All right, thank you guys.
All right, Yeah I did that football put them in
the garage last year and they all came came out.
But yeah, one that is just giant. I mean this
see yes, it's six.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Feet across, six feet huge.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Yeah wow, okay, yeah, I didn't think it was. It
sat there forever didn't do anything else. It grew out, okay,
and then now we got these giant leads as tall
as I am.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Wow. You oh, you're not exactly sure, you're about six
two yeah wow, goodness, Gracest's take a quick break and
we'll be back after this two minute timeout.

All Right, we're gonna get your calls here real quick.
And you are listening to the Green Country Gardner program.
He's Verry Glass. He knows something. I'm Tom Davis. I
just dancew the phones one eight seven, three six. Larry,
we have a caller, call her, Good morning and welcome aboard.
What do you have for us today?
Speaker 20 (33:28):
Good morning guys. I wasn't able to listen earlier. You
might have mentioned it, but is it time to put
them pro diamine? Yeah, on bermuda. Yes, okay, all right,
that's that's that's all I needed. All right, next next week.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Follow those directions, get get a wigglong. That's kind of
cool out there, and I've seen some emergence from some
of the leads, so do we get to it right away?
All right, thanks for calling me.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
All right, there you go. It's that easy. Three six,
and then good morning. You are on the air with
Larry Glass. Hi, how can we help you? Hey?
Speaker 20 (34:10):
Hey, Larry, Hey, this is Kobe. I came in the
Greenhouse yesterday and spoke to your partner. Anyway, we're wanting
to plant some trees and I know the best time
to plant trees is after your last freeze in spring.
But what are some What are some trees I can
plant for fall?
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Okay, it depends on There's some factories you got to
consider in doing that. How much room do you have
for the tree to grow? Number one? And your soil
type uh, and the drainage. All these other factors had
to factor in there, and your underground utilities and overhead utilities,
et cetera, et cetera. So probably a Chinese for sash
would do fine. Okay. They're kind of a medium sized
(34:51):
tree and they exhibit a really extraordinarily fall color. They
are dioecious, though, so you got to your choice to
be there male or a female. Yeah, so you want
a male tree if you can look under the leaves
and see what it is. So the pistache would be
a good one. The October Lawyer red sunset. The red
(35:14):
maples do a very good job too also, but if
you have a lot of clay or some shallow rock,
they's going to be a bit of a root nuisance
on you. So, and of course the big old oak trees.
The color variation on a oak tree here is variable
from year to year. I mean, some years we might
have a good show, some years we might not. But anyway,
(35:36):
so probably consider so all these factories. Consider how much
space you have, and how far away from your waterline
and utility lines and all this other stuff. Usually we'll
pretty much give you an idea of what kind of
a tree you can have and how big a tree
you can have. The red maple is a good one, too. Awesome.
Speaker 20 (35:56):
Yeah, that's one of my favorites. I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Okay, thanks for telling.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
We've got another call coming in right now, so let's
go for that. Hi, good morning, and welcome to the
Green Country Gardener Program. Your question or comment for Larry.
Speaker 12 (36:11):
Hey, I was just wondering if you've got any orange
trees or.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Anything orange tree, some citrus. I always have a few
here and there, but not a whole lot. We've got
some with the nursery, all right, Thanks, all right, thanks
for calling. All right, all right, I hope obeys mentioned
(36:36):
could have been a fall colored tree.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
All right, there we go. Hi, good morning, Welcome to
the Green Country Gardener Program. You're on the air with Larry.
What do you got for us today?
Speaker 2 (36:45):
I have a comment?
Speaker 21 (36:46):
All right, We're talking about planting trees and the wrong
places a boy.
Speaker 7 (36:52):
Well, a few years.
Speaker 21 (36:53):
Back I planted a about a four foot Christmas tree
about three foot from the corner of my bedroom outside,
and I thought it would stay pretty close to that height.
After a few years, it grew up past the eve
of the house and I saided in it was time
to get rid of it. So I called the neighbor
(37:15):
and they had some teenage boys or almost teenage boys,
and told them if they would like to have the
tree for a Christmas tree, they could come and cut
it down. They were so excited, and I think that
tree was worth every bit of the price I paid
for it. But it was little to just watch those
(37:37):
kids enjoy cutting that tree down and ease it for
a Christmas tree.
Speaker 11 (37:42):
That ten foot tall by Ben.
Speaker 21 (37:45):
All Right, That was just my comment that.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
Hi, good morning, and welcome to the Green Country Gardener program.
What you got for us today?
Speaker 22 (37:57):
Yeah, I'm not studied the different types of mushrooms and
stuff that's coming up in the yards. It's kind of neat.
How didn't I don't know if he's studied about mushrooms
and stuff because of the moisture in the rain. But
you know, you notice a lot of the mushrooms in
the yard which I mowed mine down, But a lot
(38:18):
of them is in a circle or half moon shape,
a half moon. That's kind of interesting. How come they
they grow in certain patterns, the mushrooms.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Yeah, Actually the mushroom you see on top is a flower.
It's a flowering probably if a subterranean my cellium. It's
a fungus. It's type of fungus that lives underground. And
it usually it starts with maybe a piece of wood
or old cowl round through the front yard or something
and made it dropping in the middle and then and
(38:49):
it grows in a circular fashion like that.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Really.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
Yeah, but the mushroom itself is a flowering part of
a subterranean cell right right.
Speaker 22 (39:01):
I know, I know the morales are, you know, annible
and all that, But yeah, I heard these a couple
of kids down about three thousand road. Gotta hold some
poison ones. I'm not sure how they may. I don't
know how bad they got sick, but I don't know.
Down about three thousand road. Yeah, hold some mushrooms.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
You'll make you pretty sick. You need you need to
know your mushroom. Uh yeah, yeah, a lot of them
are that are big and white and.
Speaker 22 (39:30):
Uh was white big brown white, Yeah, and.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
They're they're called ferry rings for the most part, and
a lot of times right in the middle of there,
there'll be an old tree stump or something in there
where they started, right, and then it just grows out
in the radio pattern like that, and eventually it becomes
it kind of breaks up a little bit over time, right,
But it's an interesting.
Speaker 22 (39:52):
You know if you knew, but yeah, ain't interesting pattern.
And some of them, you know, you see a whole
totally just one big ring, or some of them half
mod you know, moon, yeah, shapes and all that. So
it's interesting.
Speaker 23 (40:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
I really don't know the physics behind their physiology behind
them growing in a ring like that, but I imagine
it has something to do with whether when they spread,
they don't spread against each other. And they all tend
to just grow out in a radio pattern like that,
and after a while it kind of breaks up. But
it's kind of interesting the way that happens. Yeah, but
(40:26):
don't don't eat them.
Speaker 22 (40:27):
No, no, no, no, I know that, so, yeah, don't
put them. It's interesting. How uh who was the first one,
you know, like the Morales who discovered that you could
eat them? Who was the first guinea pig to try
one said hey, hey, sister, eat this sick we can
(40:48):
eat it?
Speaker 2 (40:49):
Or yeah, then you walk back home and PLoP. Well,
let's try these others, you know.
Speaker 22 (40:54):
Yeah, I don't know when they just who discovered who
could eat them or what?
Speaker 9 (40:58):
You know?
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Guessing it was either dog or nog about.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
Somebody had to eat that bushroom first to find out.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
We've got another call on the line. Hi, and welcome
to the Green Country Gardener Program. What do you have
for Larry Glass or expert today?
Speaker 12 (41:23):
Yeah, I'm just that there's y'all. So i'd be sort
of like sprinkler loud or sprinkler on there. Anything I
can put it in the sprinkler system and unclog it
and make it run better more pressure.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
Uh, that's that's a loaded question really. Typically a throttling
of the sprinkler system like that could be in the
valve itself. In other words, you shut off your your
your your water to your sprinkler system, and if you
have access to the valves that run it, you might
want to start by unscrewing the soleenoid and letting it
(41:57):
blow out a little bit and putting them back in.
That could be throttling it acting as a regulator. If
there's something stuck in the solar wide of your sprinkler,
in other words, it's not opening all the way. Uh.
If that doesn't work, then it's probably something in a
diaphragm in there. So you then you take off the
upper half of the valve and and check it out.
Speaker 22 (42:16):
And see, I hate messing with them, I get so, honey.
Speaker 12 (42:23):
I've had it for about twenty years.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
Been a long time.
Speaker 12 (42:25):
Yeah, I got some work I hate.
Speaker 2 (42:30):
Okay. Another thing you can do is turn it on
and and listen. Listen to the valves. If you hear
a lot of cavitation in in a in a valve,
either a shut off valve or something that could be
just something stuck somewhere, and that's that's when I do
a diagnosis like that. I listen and if I hear
some cavitation like that, that's typically where the problem is.
Speaker 12 (42:54):
I'll go out. I appreciate it. I hope I can't
get on.
Speaker 2 (42:58):
If you get a like a if it's a pipe
or something, you can put it inside the valve box
and listen to it. That way, and it's a good
way to and just you know, and just you know
what water sounds like when you open up the faucet
just a little bit, make the kind of a hissing sound. Well,
if you hear that on the sprinkler system, there's something
wrong in that particular place.
Speaker 1 (43:18):
Fake for your call. Alrighty, we gonna have to take
a break. We'll be right back after this two minutes.
And I'm gonna say twenty second time out.

Back in the early nineteen thirties, Frank and Jane Phillips
hosted a wonderful party at their lodge home at Willarock.
For this special party, Frank hired the world famous magician
Harry Blackstone to provide the entertainment for the large crowd.
Throughout the evening, Blackstone amazed the guests with his card
tricks in sleight of hand, with the crowd applauding and
(44:17):
laughing as the tricks got better and better. Finally, Blackstone
asked Jane Phillips to step forward. He reached into his
coat and removed a new deck of cards and dramatically
unwrapped them. Removed the cards from the deck and shuffle
them several times. He then asked missus Phillips to cut
the cards, which she did, pulling the Queen of Spage,
(44:38):
which she showed to the crowd. She put the card
back into the deck and Blackstone carefully shuffled the cards
two or three times, then suddenly spun around and threw
the entire deck of cards into the wall of the lodge,
just to the left of the front door. Fifty one
cards fell to the floor and the Queen of Spades
stuck on the wall, where it still remains today. A
(45:01):
perfect example of the magic of Wellarock. Come see it

a slot for you here at want to eight hundred
seventy five ninety three six Larry.
Speaker 2 (46:07):
Anyway Landscape the landscape plan. It's always a good idea. Sorry,
If anything, If I just come out and draw a
little circles some things around here to show you what'll do,
it gives you some idea of what there's just such
a wide variety of different plants from which to choose
on a landscape, and you have to factor in drainage,
sunlight exposure and all that and soil type and how
(46:31):
far away from how much roomors are available to put
these plants and so, and how high are the windows
on the house. What is the is a house made
of brick? You don't want to use too many dandinas.
But anyway, so there's there's different factoris you got to
put in and also how much time is the customer
willing to put in to maintaining this landscape? There you
(46:53):
go if do they want to be bolded to it
or do they want to have something they can completely ignore.
We did a landscape for somebody about three years ago,
and he was the anti landscaper. You don't want to
do anything to his yard. He's out there right now.
We made almost a bulletproof landscape, but he's there every day.
He got he kind of got into it. He's and
(47:15):
sort of got you know, he's very involved in his
landscape and he's so it's kind of fun to see
people do that because you're retired. What else are you
going to.
Speaker 1 (47:23):
Do landscaping these days?
Speaker 2 (47:27):
So anyway, he enjoys that, the relaxation of taking care
of the plants and managing them and all that. So
so so there's all these factors together to consider him
doing a landscape plan. And that's something we incorporate in
a design, something that's going to succeed rather than you
plan for success. And you might not agree with their
(47:48):
type of plants we put in, but those are the
ones that will work in that situation, and then we
can switch them to maybe a parallel that'll grow in
the environment in which they are. So that's kind of
easy to do. It's easy to change. So you do
it on a cab program, so it's real quick and
easy to change things out. So anyway, a tree of
the week is a shoe martoak, which is kind of
(48:10):
a native species, not of for it's good fall color,
lots of acorns and squirrels and things, so it makes
a really good big shade tree in the landscape. And
make sure you have a lot of room for this flat.
Speaker 1 (48:23):
Like twenty feet away from that. There's a.
Speaker 2 (48:26):
On this thing, a picture of a house that we
did back in the eighties and those look at the
size of that treeage. It's bigger than the house. That
thing is just huge, and it's in the right place.
It shields the house from the afternoon sun, but it's
(48:48):
it's far away enough from the house where it's not
a problem, but it's as big as the house.
Speaker 1 (48:51):
So just know what you're getting into.
Speaker 2 (48:54):
But also the soil conditions over there were not that good.
There were, and you needed a deeply rooted plant. And
this this is about five ft away from the sidewalk
and there's not a crack in the sidewalk anywhere. So
you gotta factor all this stuff in with picking out
a plant. What do you wanted to do, and how
big is it going to get, how far away from
(49:14):
the house planted? All these factories you have to consider
in there when picking out trees in the landscape. Not
just fall color, not just the pretty and all that.
You've got to consider how is this going to coexist
in your landscape. So there are a lot of them
out there to choose a lot of different sizes and
shapes and colors of trees and plants and things, and
(49:35):
so the sight and the requirements or the should be
the deciding factor, not how pretty it is. Okay, all right,
Oh okay, So anyway, anyway, at the nursery, We've got
all kinds of mums and pansies right now. The pansies
are are are here looking kind of pretty. That will
(49:58):
be time to plant those real singy people buying them
all over the place. You got mums everywhere. They're just
rolling all out of there, so come check it out.
We have several kinds of mums at the nursery, several
sizes right now, and we have some things on sale
African violets and citrus and clematis and crepe myrtles and
dad their own sale right now. We have a lot
of things on sale.
Speaker 1 (50:18):
No kids, big you gotta have to have a lot
of things.
Speaker 2 (50:21):
We gotta have room for all this new stuff. So
you can come by and check it out and get
excited about we gally. I was in there yesterday. People
were just walking out with these big old mud plants.
I mean they're like bushold bathrooms. Like wow, we and
uh they're they're really nice and attractive and very healthy plants.
So anyway, come by the nursery and check us out.
(50:43):
We're on the south side of No Water Road, right
between Washington and Madison, Billvard on the south side and Uh,
we got all kinds of plants and trees, all kinds
of advice, and a waterfall, and a waterfall in the
green outs. You can come by and check us out.
I can come to your house to keep that shovel sharp. Tom.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there.
