(01:02):
welcome in. It's time now for the Green Country Gardener Show.
Larry Glass is our expert. Time Tom, I justn't answered
the phones. And speaking of phones, it is one eight
hundred seven poor nine five nine three six that'll get
you on the air well A little bit warm out
there in the garden and in the lawn, Larry.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Yeah, well what expect it's August already.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
No, this is middle middle of July.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
You're like, god, we got two months of this?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Yeah, maybe three. The record high for July. He brought
in this big chart folks, and.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
I got one hundred and fifteen degrees was the record high.
I didn't say when. And the mean temperature it's really
mean one point nine wow, typical. The daily maximum mean
is ninety two point seven and the daily means eighty
point six.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Whatever that means.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
There's a lot of meaning going on there.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Actually, the record minimum is record low was forty eight
degrees at the.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
One point in time.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
I don't think.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
I think somebody let the fridge open that day.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Must yeah, that's probably in you know, seventeen eighty or something.
And typically in July we get three point six five
inches of rain, which I think we got.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Oh, I'm pretty already over with.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
So then I was looking at the forecast and hot, hot, steamy.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
Well, actually some people have come in and here's my
my ring gauge over here showing two and quarter inches
after this week, So we're right about on que Actually,
just it all comes at once, it does, and the
long range of forecast for.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
The next week is calling for nothing. Nothing, yeah, I think.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
So we're starting the landscape crew starting at six am.
We're knocking off at around one or two o'clock. It
seems kind of strange you go home so early, but
golly when you come out there with crack it.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
On, well, I know, I know those hours.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Well, I still someone sharing the road with me besides
the guy in the bread truck and the officer.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
So anyway, it's just how you deal with the weather.
You try to work around a little bit and keep
yourself hydrated before you mow your grass, get buns of
water in. You don't wait till after the fact, but
you want to be prepared and go ahead and drink
a lot of water before you mow your grass. And
if you have to take a break halfway through, so
what at least you at least you won't get too
(03:42):
hot and and and expire what's the word right out?
What's the word desiccated?
Speaker 6 (03:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Yeah, you won't get to to dried up, rated, yeah yeah,
hydrated yeah yeah, anyway.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Between the doors will get it.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
So before you go out and do some work in
the yard, even though it's not very hot yet, still
want to you go ahead and get hydrated, and it's
just plaine of water works.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Fine, So that's kind of how we That's how I
deal with it too.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Carry this big old water jug around with me where
and try to empty it out, you know, during the
course of the day, just uh, and just so you
don't get overrun by the heat. Your body has a
way of keeping itself cool with selecting and all that,
but if you don't let it do it, you'll get overheated.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Then you got problems.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Oh yeah, we've got to call it. We do. Hey,
good morning, and welcome to the Green Country Gardener.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Your you're called your comment, Good morning morning.
Speaker 7 (04:43):
Have a question that Hardy had discus.
Speaker 8 (04:45):
Yeah, so once they boom, is that helpful.
Speaker 7 (04:50):
To uh, pull off, cut off whatever the little what
you call it?
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it wouldn't hurt to cut those off.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
In fact, it might even make it bloom some more.
If you cut those off, it'll probably send out a
sideshoot and continue blooming. They have a fairly long bloom
period during the during the summer. And I have some
of my house and I keep them cut back after
they're done, and sometimes I'll put on some flowers.
Speaker 9 (05:24):
Okay, that's all I need to know.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Thank you, all right, thanks for calling.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
All right, thank you very much for your composting.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
And it's really easy. All you have to do is
dial one eight hundred seven nine five dying three six
and that will get you one with Larry.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
Hibiscus mushadoes well are actually it is a native American
species typical and there's native to swampy areas. Actually. Okay,
so anyway, somebody said, oh that's a cool plant. Let's
hybridize it. Now, we got flowers the size the folkswagens.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
They do.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
They do make a real nice large flower and they
are really extraordinarily hardy. However it can be, and I
think we're talking about them this week, but anyway, they are.
They do come up late in the year, and when
they come up, it's in three days or like twelve
feet tall.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Wow, No, they're not that tall.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Yeah, my goodness.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Once it gets warm enough, they really grow quickly. So okay,
at the nursery, we still have lots of color. We
got stuff on sale to so come on check it
out and.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
See you. Here we go.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Rosa Sharon's a thirty percent off African bottle it's a
thirty percent off Japanese maples, thirty percent off, Clematis, thirty
percent off. I date just thirty percent off prinso dollar off, etcetera, etcetera,
et cetera. So anyway, it's coming to the end of
our fiscal year, so we need to sell some stuff.
Speaker 8 (06:55):
Here.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
You go anyway, come on out and take advantage of
the sale prices. You know, it's not too late to plant.
You just have to be a little bit more diligent
with it. You need to be more observant with it.
And I don't plant too deeply, and definitely do not
over water. There can cause some problems. I've met with
the customer yesterday and her hinge and chicks were rotten away. WHOA, Well,
(07:19):
we've had a superfluous amount of brains, yes we have.
And hens and chicks simply are not they're not ducks
to pervive them. They're they're yeah, really, they're just not
suited for extended periods of wet weather. So hens and
chicks and seasons like that or something. You just simply
don't have the water that much because they store a
(07:41):
lot of water, okay, and they're just not suited to
wet areas like that. So in the Vesta regard this week,
tomatoes is showing some wet and heat related problems. You
might have some yellow leaves on the bottom as they
go up, and a lot of times that can be
alleviated with some bulch. It's a big fan of that.
(08:02):
For the tomatoes are well, tom it's a it's a
fundus issue. It bounces off the soil. When we have
brain and it gets on there, it CAUs there's a
fun problem. So adding some molts to tomatoes just fine.
I go to people's houses where they have tomatoes with
molts and beautiful green leaves all the way from the
bottom of the one up solid huh yeah. And these
giant tomatoes you know, the.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Size of basketballs.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Huh well that or cageball.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Yeah, big tomatoes, record ball size, majors.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Man.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
There you go.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
I didn't grow any tomatoes this year. My garden is fallow.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Okay, but next year I'll grow something.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yeah, you're just a little too busy. Dodge and thunderbolts
and brain drops.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
This great. They've got a broken toe and a broken finger.
That's still.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
You've been the pillar and pill for a long time.
This year you break two bones, I know, and you
never miss a day or work.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
I wasunderneath our tractor yesterday working on maintenance, bagor maintenance.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
That's fun.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Shade anyway, head to doe because the only time we
had to work on stuff like that is when it rains.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
And yeah, and just.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
Headed dope covered in mud and great and oil. I
was just in my element, just loved it.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
I can't tell you smiling your ears.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
God anyway, we just had to do a maintenance on
oil change. So wow, that's the kind of stuff we
do when we can't dig a hole in the ground,
do that kind of stuff too. So anyway, bermuda grass
and oyster grass are growing rapidly now. The crabgrass is
mature m so it's kind of too late to control
(09:47):
crab grass. Yeah, a lot that's at that stage right
now where a post emergent crabgrass control simply doesn't work.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
No, you spray round up on it and you're gonna
get yellow spots all over the.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Stay around and go buy some sod. I guess yeah,
is this what we.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Call claw hammery time? Were you?
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (10:08):
Actually I did that yesterday when he came home. There's
there's two kinds of craggrass. One of them has it's
very I don't know what they call it because I'm
not a professional when it comes to craggrass, but it
has its real long stem and forms just open like
an open hand on the ground and those just just
pull them up, throw them under the lawn bower and
(10:31):
drying them up, spread the seeds everywhere.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
So yeah, it get somebody else's yard.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
So yeah, the craggrass at least it's it's alive and growing.
I think it's feeling a little too hot for some
of it, kind of turning a little brown around the edges.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
A little bit. So wow.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
So also it's a time to maybe do another fertilization
on your bimeter as your grass, But don't do it
unless you have moisture in the ground what you do
right now, or have a means by which it can
be watered through right away too.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Diffusion is what it takes.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
Maybe, Yeah, if you put it, if you put fertilizer
down on drug ground, it can cause some problems.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (11:15):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
Shallow ritz is one of them, and it makes the
grass intolerant of dry conditions because hey, this.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Is I don't have to work.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Fertilizer right there.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
I don't have to go down deep to get it
and then it then it droughtstress is real bad. So
you can still fertilize but lightly right now on the lawn,
just just to kind of keep it going a little
bit and be prepared to irrigate when that happens when
you do put it down too. Okay, So grass is
growing erma grasses in its element right now. It tolerates
(11:45):
the heat quite well. So good fescue grass, though, keep
it tall. Don't don't cut your fescue grass very short
and sowers your grass kind of the same thing. Don't
cut it too short right now, all the grasses need
to be fairly high. And what that does it increases
the surface area of the of the grass, so it
has a better chance to keep yourself cool. It also
(12:07):
helps shade the ground a little bit. Keep that just
a little bit cooler too.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Now. I've been mowing it kind of high, even when
it was kind of wet. Yeah, and I had mook
quite often.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Too, but oh, it just seems like you get you
get a tent of an inch exploded, and it's like.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Oh my gosh, Okay, here I go. I'm getting in shape.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
That we had to buy a corner a lot.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Uh huh.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
That's what I got, So I delegate designate areas. I
don't know the whole thing at once, especially when it's hot,
So I do some bit on one day, So about
about a three day cycle. That's about motographs because you know,
work all day out of the heat. The less you
want to do is well, yeah, you got to keep.
Speaker 11 (12:52):
It neat you do.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
The neighbors might code yeah, rock fet your house.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
It's over there. Yeah, well shoot, they get off work.
You know, it's the west. We do the west side
first where it's kind of cool, and then kind of
gradually do the front and then I'll wait till Sunday.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Too in the back. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
I do do a little bit at a time when
it's really hot. You know, when you get to be
my age, just kind of have to do that.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
So yeah, I take a lot of breaks. See you
got a writer, don't you know? You know you got
to push her. Yeah, that's why I got.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
Yeah, it's got this variable speed and always run as
the fastest speed.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Keep those blades sharp.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Yeah, I got, I just got one speed.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
It's a good workout too.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Actually it is a good workout. I have one speed.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
It's called Mosy Mosy and is a mowen.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
Yeah, my mower is thirty years old. It needs a
new transmission. So okay, when Craig myrtles, uh there right
now they are and they're doing quite well. I know
I haven't won in front of my house.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
That's right. Happened after it?
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Right, It kind of went a little floppy on me.
But it seems to be pulling himself back up. And
I see that a lot of in the great myrtles
because I had a lot of weight and the rain
kind of made them bend down a little bit. You
could lighten them up a little bit, but not much.
And look at look at the blooms and if they're
if they're expired. In other words, the plumes come up
(14:27):
on the tips, the blooms come up on the tips
of the branch, and when they start to die out
that you still have time to cut them back and
they will regenerate.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Some blooms. At this point in time, the day length.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
Is such that that's typically what affects them and what
stimuls in the bloom is the length of day. And
while we're still at this people although we're going down
a little bit on.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
The peak, we're still in the arch.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
There's still time for them to put on somewhere bloom.
So if the blooms are starting to kind of to deteriorate,
and you can cut those old blooms off and chances
are it will send out a side shooting and bloom
even more.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Oh there you go.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Yeah, look at the color of your crepe myrtle.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
If you've got a red one and it's not really
super red, you might have a phosphorus deficiency. And I
wouldn't recommend fertilizing it too much at this point, but
just as a good practice, give it some ten twenty
ten something like that early in the spring and that'll
help it. But enhance enhance phosphor's content will help the
(15:32):
bloom color in the bloom volume too, got it, So
give them some of that earlier in the spring. I
think we discussed it and show us past to what
to do with the crepe myrtles. But right now, don't
water them too much. At this point. You can get
mildew and mold on them, stuff real bad. So give
they like it a little bit on the dry side.
(15:53):
They really don't like wet feet, so they should do. Okay,
watch out for a scale insect on them too. It's
a traite myrtle. Scale is a pretty bad problem with them.
And look at the stand and look for a little tiny,
little white specs on them, and those are typically our
scale insects. You can kind of rub them off a
(16:13):
little bit, but there are some controls for that you
can get you too.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Sopie waterworks.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Sophie water works pretty well. Captain Jack's dead bug works
pretty good.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
All right, Captain Jack's dead bug, it works pretty good. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
Also one cure and is a metoploprid too. It's a
systemic and it works from within. Okay, So you mix
it up and pour it on the ground and the tree.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Draws it up.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Dope, put it on the tree.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
It's a systemic nicotinoid, gotcha, and it affects the nervous
system of the insect.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
All right, We're going to take a quick break, folks.
We are going to be back after this two minute,
thirty second time out.

along with that's okay, it is seventy seven degrees and
this is the Green Country Gardener Program.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
I'm Tom, He's Larry. Larry Glasses are expert.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
And our phone line is open at one eight hundred
seven four nine five nine three six.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
And I gotta tell you you're the busiest man.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
Yeah, doorbell ring, I thought it was on start tracking
the door was nobody, okay.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Irrigation systems, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
So talk about irrigation system down to rain for another
six months.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
You really want to allow a at least a slight
drying period between irrigation systems.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Is that in order to keep the plants always thirsting
a little bit?
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Well?
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Yeah, that, and it helps it stimulates a deeper root system.
So when you do irrigate, set out of something and
say how long it takes you to do an inch
of water, and that's how much time you need to
go on a week?
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Okay, that's all. Yeah, So you gotta do a little math, a.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
Little bit of mathea and you can save you some
water too. Actually, and you do want the ground to
dry out on the surface significantly before I go to
a lot of people's yards and they run their sprint
cards that on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, eight o'clock in the morning.
And then when you dig a hole in the ground,
the grass is only you know, two inches deep because yeah,
(21:00):
because it there's no incentive to go down and dig in, and.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
So you need to irrigate.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
You know, the sprinkler heads have specifications and how much
water you put out basically on the nozzle, tam there
in the spacing, et.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Cetera, et cetera, and uh, typically thirty minute.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
It takes about thirty minutes to do an inch of
rain or so, and a rainbird five thousand and three
point zero. So you want to keep that in mind
for a total length of time. Look, you need to
research and look at the precipitation rate. How much water
do you put down on a given time And it's
easy to do. Just take the wife's at night with
thirteen pin and turn it on and combat to you
(21:45):
with a rolling pin.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
With my cookwaard's off there.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
It's just my cookware my case anyway, and that'll tell
you how much how long to irrigate an a given
period of time. Typically on this thing totals we have
a year of precipitation of what is it average inches
forty point five inches of rain given here, Yeah, and
(22:15):
that's about an inch a week, so.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Maybe a little less. But so.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
The thing is, though you do want the surface of
the grass and your plants, do you want the surface
of the soil to dry out a little.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Bit between water?
Speaker 5 (22:33):
These plants just simply aren't suited for living in a
constantly wet environment. You know, if you're growing cattails and.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Lily pads, that's another story.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
But bermuda grass and stuff like that. No, it doesn't
need so much water. So Monday, Wednesday, Friday, it's fine,
but know how much rain or water you're putting down
in that time period. And another factor considered is the slope.
If you have a fairly steep slope on there, you
(23:02):
do want to water, say Monday or Tuesday or Thursday
or whatever, twice.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
A week or so.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
But most of the timers have multiple start times on them,
so you can observe how it's irrigating and observe when
it starts running down the curb, and that'll be the
maximum time per cycle on it. So you can let
it run at three am and six am and maybe
and then nine am or something like that, and so
(23:31):
it'll soak.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Into the ground rather than run off.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
So you have to consider it your percolation rate in
your soil also, and we have a bit of a
clay and a sOliver here also. Yeah, so and it
does retain water quite well. And that's one reason why
we need a little bit of a dry period between irrigations,
just so we don't have a problem with shallow rists
and stam rot on your grass and stuff.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
A little bit of a science to it, but there is.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
That's why you went. You went to the College of Knowledge.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
So if you do have a slope and you do
have a sprinker system, consider doing UH and do several
startups on that particular circuit. A lot of them have
A B, C and D circuits on their channels on
them start times if you will. And you can designate
that one circuit that's on a hill to go.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
UH A and B and the C D. But you
can delete the other one from the PC and D
just want of that one.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
So get it organized. We have our ways get it organized.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
Also that some of the newer timers are their internet connected.
We put one in for a customer and let's say
a lot of do we need to put a range
and s Ring says, none of those things working just
great without it. It gets data from National Weather Service
and how much rain we have, and it adjusts the
(24:55):
irrigation accordingly, accordingly, exactly.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
So like some people I know, well, I tell you
what they got, the fountains flaring in the middle of
a storm.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
Yeah, and also on on the on these web based
the timers, you can designate.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
What type of soil you have and what so on.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
You can vary the amount of water it gets in
based on what you have in it. We did a
a system recently where he has two different types of
grass and we put the soyser grass in one area,
in permutograss in the other. And they have slightly different
requirements as far as watering is concerned, so those areas
can be designated separately, so you put less water on
(25:41):
the permuta grass and more and more water perths on
the Soisier grass.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Makes sense because the soiser is close to the house.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
It's real nice and velvety and it's a pretty grass,
and the permuta grasserras, it just covers things.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Yeah, sut there to make sure you don't see anything exactly.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
A lot of times when we do a landscape. On
several occasions we've done that, we're close to the house.
We make it look really, really nice for this beautiful,
beautiful green velvet carpet of.
Speaker 4 (26:14):

up for me.

You know what they say, right, no pain, no gain.
But what if it hurts just to walk? It's probably
just you getting older, right, Well, it could be peripheral
arterial disease, a serious condition often called clogged arteries in
the legs.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
PAD.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
Symptoms can include cramping in your legs when you walk,
but some people don't feel any symptoms at all, and
PAD severely limits blood flow, making it one of the
leading causes of foot and leg amputations. It also makes
you up to six times more likely to die for
heart disease or stroke. PAD is no walk in the
(28:04):
park if you're over fifty, especially if you smoke or
have diabetes. Talk to your doctor about getting tested for PAD.

Speaker 4 (28:56):
Our tree the week is a Japanese people.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
They're atctually several types sizes of Japanese maple there are.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
It's not that old big purple thing that people plant
two feet away from the house. There are some smaller
ones too, they are they Yeah, yeah, we have some
of the nursery too. Oh yeahs again. Think it's aboutnee high.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
That's a small tree.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
It's a small tree. Yeah, what's that medium size hip
high around around here?
Speaker 5 (29:27):
And then the Japanese that the blood good say, Japanese
mample gets up to twenty feet.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
So I have one in my backyard that's about to
be tall. All right, nice, blood good. Nice It was
moved like five times.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Do they leave much leaves in the fall?
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Do they leave much leads in the fall? Well, yeah,
they don't have any leaves.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
I didn't think fall.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
Yeah, but they can have some actually, some good fall
color in them too. One thing you want to watch
out from the crap murles at this point.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
In any time, or a border. I've seen that so
many times.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
So the boars go in and part of the tree
dies out, and said, what's wrong with my tree? Then
you look at it as the bar's all falling off
the tree from boars girdling it.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Now we have ways to stop that or supervented all together,
do we not?
Speaker 4 (30:16):
Yes. If you do have a situation where your Japanese mable.
Speaker 5 (30:20):
Has some bars on it, you might want to consider
using some medicloporate on it, which is a systemic. You
used to use a di system but they took it
off the market. But the mediclop bridge is very effective
in controlling them and also keep them watered real well.
Not you know, they're not swamp plants spelled me, but
(30:41):
let them get a little bit on the dry side
and make.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
Sure they have adequate water.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
Sure because the bar insecttendo attack more plants that are
under stress typically than ones that are super healthy. So
uh and look very closely at it looked and especially
on the southwest side, looked very close. Or a bark
that's peeling or something, and if you see it or
on the trunk typically is round. When you cut it,
(31:09):
cut out of sections around, but it'll have a flat
spot on it, say on the southwest side or on
a sunny side where we're situated, and that's the indication
that there's some border damage in there.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
They will recover from border damage.
Speaker 5 (31:24):
The tree will encapsulate it and just do its way,
going on its way with growing.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
But they can get overwhelmed.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
They can.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
So look at him real closely this time of year,
look at him real.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
Closely, because the problem is pretty bad right at this
point in time. So take a good close look at
your Japanese maple and look for.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
Holes in it.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
Look for weeping, especially on the southwest side of it.
Look for flat spots on the bark, on the on
the trunk where it's it's not circular, and that's a
sure signage.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
Have boards. So very simple application.
Speaker 5 (32:03):
You mix this step up in a bucket and portland ground,
then get back out of the heat.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
It does pretty well.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
But I really like them for their leaf and their
color effect and all that. And if you really want
a big Japanese maple, plant it five feet away from.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
The house about this far. It's still kind of close.
Speaker 5 (32:25):
It's gonna look a little distant at first, why did
you plant that thing in the middle of the front
yard wine? He said, plant it out there, you know,
and then you know eight years later it fits nicely.
Keep it five to seven feet away from the sidewalk
five to seven feet so away from the house, and
it did quite well if you want to have them
(32:45):
fairly close to there.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
There are some miniature varieties of the Japanese maple.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
There's an acer Palmatum dissectum, which gets about max t
ten feet apart or so, and then there are some
other ones that are too numerous. A name that Emperor's
one that stays kind of small so it won't outdrove
the space got it, and it likes the well drained areas.
(33:11):
It does like some shielding from the midday sun. It
will tolerate some sun pretty well, but your leaves on
the top will tend to bleach a little bit, and
you'll also get some winter damage from scorch sun scorch
that's when it gets really really cold. That warm sun
comes on there and it causes problems with the vascular
(33:34):
with the vascular tissue on the stems.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
It causesus some issues.
Speaker 5 (33:37):
So they do need some shielding from the sun, but
if anything, they need some shielding from the winter. So
that's one of the biggest problems, is a sun scorch
from are rapidly up and down the weather cycles in
the winter. So it's a good one having the landscape.
(33:58):
Keep in mind that it's it's crooked when you're when
you're picking out a Japanese maple, don't pick out a
straight one because it won't be that way, not growing lumber,
growing an esthetically pleasing tree with kind of crooked branching
on it. So really the ugliest one in the shop
(34:18):
will be probably the best I can tree. I know
at my house one comes out this way and it's
got a branch over this way, and then it comes
away out and it's even in the winter time, it's
really fascinating to look. So Japanese maple is a good
thing in the landscape. They do very well in areas
of hillcrest and with them parked beautiful plants over there,
(34:40):
got on the big old Japanese maples and some of
the older parks of Colonial there's some down there too.
They're real pretty also, so they do associate very well
with other trees. Keep them away from hackberry trees because hackberry,
the rich system of the hackberry tree tends to be
very aggressive. It can cause some problems. So you had that,
(35:01):
well you might consider something else, Yeah, you plants. Well,
actually we've planted them in there. They've stayed up pretty
well with.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
With hackbray trees.
Speaker 5 (35:11):
Maybe it's because they're toxic, but peez so. But the
Jaffese maple can't tolerate a lot of heavy competition like that.
All right, good plan to have in the landscape. It's
a specimen interest plant.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
Very good.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
Okay, let's take a quick break.

the number, Larry.
Speaker 5 (37:56):
With all the rain we've had and the heat comes on,
you want to get some cracking on you tomatoes, So
you might want to pick them when they start to
turn a little bit on the pink side, just so
you don't get those nasty old multi cracks.
Speaker 3 (38:07):
On your Yeah, just say not a crack on the tomato.
Speaker 5 (38:11):
That's what I do when I have the tomatoes. We
pick them just when they start to lighten up a.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
Little bit, stick them in the window for a while,
rotating a little go in.
Speaker 4 (38:18):
The window cill and they do just fine.
Speaker 5 (38:20):
The heat is pretty bad about that, and we have
a lot of moisture in the ground too, so they're
soaking up a lot of water. So there's just going
to be some cracking on the tomatoes. So you might
want to pick them while their skins still kind of tough.
Speaker 4 (38:32):
Oa, right.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (38:35):
Chinese pistache is another tree we can talk about. This
is a very popular one. They grow up to about
fifty feet at the most fifty foot tall the wide,
and they're crooking and gangling when young, you know what,
we all, but they will they'll straighten up with age though.
What The good thing about this is the excellent fall color,
(38:56):
and it's very deeply rooted too, so it'll go down
and seek out new life and new civilizations rather deeply
into the ground.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
Let's go to the phones here real quick. Hey, good morning, welcome.
You're on the air with the Green Country Gardener.
Speaker 7 (39:13):
Why do you want to put your tomatoes in the window?
Speaker 5 (39:15):
Still, Well, if it's gonna get really hot like that
and the ground's kind of saturated and you could get
some cracking.
Speaker 7 (39:24):
Well, tomatoes rife and in the absence of light, okay,
rife and with the sun. Oh okay, so well I've
always put mine in the window sill. So well that's
a no, that's an old wives tale thing.
Speaker 5 (39:40):
Well we're both very old wives, yes, so anyway, yeah,
it's uh well put them in the dark and okay,
all right, thank you appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
All right, there you go. Well, I'm gonna get it
when I get home. Get those tomatoes.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
Out the window sill.
Speaker 5 (40:05):
Well, the windows in the east window, so and I
can see when they're ready to go.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
Anyway, so.
Speaker 4 (40:13):
There might be a little bit of an issue with cracking.
Speaker 5 (40:16):
So anyway, the Chinese pistache, it's very disease resistant tree,
and it's dioecious libra or not. That means male and
female are on a separate plant. One has male flowers,
one has female flowers. So if you want to get one,
if you if you want to pustache, if you don't
(40:37):
want the female seeds, you want to pick one that's
fairly mature. That's a nursery or whatever, or ask if
it's a cloned one. It's just been it's just a
a female for sure. Was a cloned off of a
female plant? Or is it or is a seed drone
typically we have clones at the nursery, so most of
them are going to turn out to be male. You
(40:59):
don't have the name seeds everywhere. Now, then what up
and get through?
Speaker 3 (41:02):
Though, I know how that goes anywhere.
Speaker 5 (41:06):
I got lucky at my house when when I dugling
up out of the backyard.
Speaker 4 (41:10):
It's made a really good tree. I mean it's the trunk.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
Is really pretty good size. Yeah, and it.
Speaker 5 (41:16):
Has no problems at all. I do need to trim
it up a little bit. It looks kind of like
doctor Seus's tree really.
Speaker 3 (41:21):
Oh yeah, I've seen those in the books.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
Yeah, so I need to work on a little bit.
Speaker 17 (41:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (41:27):
Anyway, just pistache is a good one. I liked it
close to structures or the garage or somewhere. Does shield
stuff in the afternoon from the heat. Does well around patios.
But you want to make sure you get a mail
plant if you're going to put it close to the house.
Speaker 4 (41:43):
Okay, got it. Very very few bug problems.
Speaker 5 (41:47):
I have seen some bore problems with pistache trees, so
that's something against which they are not immune. So you
want to keep them pretty healthy and fertilized. You know,
they don't have to fertilize it too much, but you
don't want to put them under too much stress.
Speaker 4 (42:02):
They'll do fine. This tree I have to do nothing too,
so that's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
You've got a lot of stuff in your yard. You've
really not had to do anything to.
Speaker 5 (42:13):
Get One plant I have I did a long time ago,
and it's a weeping bald cypress.
Speaker 4 (42:21):
And it comes up, droves up, and then.
Speaker 5 (42:23):
The branches just weep and hang over like this weep
beautiful plant really and bald cypress gallop. It's as tough
as the day as long doesn't bother them, and it's
really very showy. Actually, how big of that thing yet?
It's about twelve feet tall right now. It's been in
there for a good twenty years. But it's weeping bald cypress.
(42:44):
And I really do like this plant because I do
nothing to it.
Speaker 3 (42:48):
You don't have to maintain. You have to do a trimmery. Oh.
Speaker 4 (42:50):
I have a few dead branches here and there.
Speaker 5 (42:52):
You kind of shape it up a little bit, but
they don't do too much too. Wow, and it's getting
fairly large.
Speaker 3 (42:58):
I kind of like those that are on independence.
Speaker 4 (43:00):
What I mean.
Speaker 5 (43:01):
Now, my plumb tree that's on the south side of
it is starting to die out there, so they kind
of run the course. But I got to pull it
out then you'll be able to see it more clearly.
But it's it's really very kind of an interesting study
in a textural stuff in the landscape, textural appearance and
differences and so on. So anyway, so there are some
(43:25):
interesting plants like that. Another one is a ruby falls
a red bud. We planted some of those in town
and they are really really nice.
Speaker 4 (43:33):
It's a red bud.
Speaker 5 (43:34):
You know, it's native to the area so we can
tolerate the conditions pretty well. And this one grows weeping
like this, and the leaves are red and it has
all these flowers on it. In the spring, it's very
very showy for the most part. But August, July and
August and September, red buds get a little ugly. Well
(43:56):
it's so hot, yeah, and the leaves tend to kind
of brown a little bit. But anyway, the the ruby
Fall's red bud, it's very attractive tree. We planted a few.
There's one in Glenua we planted. Go into his house
city check out his drain. But anyway, and it just
when it blooms it's just beautiful and there's nothing to it.
Speaker 3 (44:18):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (44:19):
So uh so, plants like that in the landscape, the
ruby fall's red bud, the Chinese pustache, and the bold
cress trees that really do very well without a lot
of care.
Speaker 3 (44:33):
All those take pretty good sun. They take it over
the Wow.
Speaker 5 (44:38):
So consider that, and and the Japanese ma able to
consider that for specimen interest trees in the landscape, they
should be highlighted somewhere, somewhere you can see them, are
framed with a bed around them, or other plants beside them,
or something to make them really pop out.
Speaker 4 (44:54):
Okay, it looks good.
Speaker 3 (44:58):

In nineteen thirty nine, James Farley, the former chairman of
the Democratic National Committee and Franklin Roosevelt's Postmaster General, traveled
to Bartlesville, Oklahoma to meet with Frank Phillips. This was
a special meeting, and for Frank, a bit different, as
Farley did not come to visit about oil or banking.
He had another purpose. He came to Bartlesville to try
(45:56):
to convince mister Phillips to buy the New York Yankees
baseball team. The former owner had died in nineteen thirty nine,
and Farley and others felt that Frank had the resources
necessary to buy the ball club. Already a wonderful dynasty
with such greats as Babe Ruth and Lou Garrick leading
the way, the Yankees were known worldwide and would certainly
provide great personal and professional exposure to Frank in to
(46:20):
Phillips Petroleum. After much consideration, Frank decided not to buy
the Yankees, and despite their continued success, he never regretted
that decision, as he told his friends, I just couldn't
buy him. I've always been a National League man. Come

and our total free number one eight hundred seven four
nine five nine three six. If you want to reach
out and touch Larry, Hey, I'm Tom. He's Larry, he's
the guru. I just answered the phones. We had a
little fun together, and uh, let's see, we just got
a few minutes Left's the.
Speaker 4 (48:25):
Rain gage, Mike. Yeah, look at that two and our.
Speaker 5 (48:28):
Two and about three eight inches of the range.
Speaker 3 (48:31):
Yeah, there we go. That's a professional rain gauge. It
looks like a big old bucket you got there.
Speaker 5 (48:38):
No, it's just a regular ring too. We calibrated too. Yeah,
it's the big one. So for those of us who are.
Speaker 4 (48:45):
Old, we can see it, we can read it.
Speaker 13 (48:49):
Golly.
Speaker 4 (48:50):
So we had a couple of inches of rain this week.
Speaker 10 (48:52):
Not bad.
Speaker 4 (48:53):
So final last very long we're going of the weather.
Speaker 3 (48:57):
Yeah, this this will drive up quickly.
Speaker 4 (48:59):
Okay, we're going to talk a little bit about.
Speaker 5 (49:01):
The door feelup on holiday. Yep, they're a very versatile
planet in the landscape. That's in the lighthouse that are
forty years old, so they're durable, and they're not even
knee high. What do I do to keep them that small?
Some people let them get too big. They can't get
up to ten feet tall. Better get the out the
electric hedge climmers.
Speaker 4 (49:21):
Poor things. Only use them once a year and just
cut them.
Speaker 3 (49:24):
Flat Saint Valentine's Day massacre about the.
Speaker 5 (49:28):
Middle of February, saying wow, And I just cut them
and so you can kind of see in between. And
about two weeks later they're growing and all this fills
back in and it makes for a small mounted shrub.
Speaker 4 (49:42):
Very nice.
Speaker 5 (49:43):
But it's just this one thing. The only thing I
do with them all year long is just that one cutback.
Speaker 3 (49:49):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (49:50):
And I don't cut it around the edge, just flat
across the block. It may seem a little odd, but
it works. But I have the windows that are about
this tall, and I didn't want to cover them up.
So the dwarf jop on holly is in front there. Yeah,
Kevin is envious, like walking back.
Speaker 4 (50:14):
Yeah, he's got one that.
Speaker 5 (50:15):
I think The thing is his heads clippers probably weigh
a couple of thousand pounds.
Speaker 3 (50:19):
Ye bounce it on the back of a tracker.
Speaker 5 (50:23):
So that's the secret to keep him, the dwarf yop
on holly in shape and in bounds. It's just once
a year cutting him back real well. And then I
use some iron sulfate on them and some just good
old shrub fur laser, just general purpose whatever I got.
They're not too picky, and it maintains a really fairly
(50:43):
dark green color the dwarf jop on holly. Typically it's
kind of a grayish green color, and it's not as
dark green as we might want it to be green too,
So that's kind and what I like about this plant
is not a whole lot really bothers it Now. Going
into the winter, though, you want to make sure that
the ground is well mulched one and number two not permitted.
Speaker 4 (51:06):
To get really dry, because you.
Speaker 5 (51:08):
Can't get some sporadic die off on this if if
it's not tended to in the in.
Speaker 3 (51:13):
The fall at the shop.
Speaker 4 (51:15):
At the shop, we got all kinds of stuff on sale.
Speaker 5 (51:16):
We've got some really nice perennials still around, and how
many weird plants and so on, checking the plants, plenty
of hanging baskets and all that, and got a lot
of stuff on sale.
Speaker 3 (51:26):
Oh gosh, yeah, we're all going, uh.
Speaker 5 (51:28):
Yeah, we got trees and shrubs, and give us a
shout and I come out to your house and laugh
at your landscape. Anyway, tom, it's been a good show
this week. We do a lot of talking and hopefully
we help out some people here and there.

Larry Glass is our expert. Time Tom, I justn't answered
the phones. And speaking of phones, it is one eight
hundred seven poor nine five nine three six that'll get
you on the air well A little bit warm out
there in the garden and in the lawn, Larry.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Yeah, well what expect it's August already.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
No, this is middle middle of July.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
You're like, god, we got two months of this?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Yeah, maybe three. The record high for July. He brought
in this big chart folks, and.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
I got one hundred and fifteen degrees was the record high.
I didn't say when. And the mean temperature it's really
mean one point nine wow, typical. The daily maximum mean
is ninety two point seven and the daily means eighty
point six.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Whatever that means.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
There's a lot of meaning going on there.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Actually, the record minimum is record low was forty eight
degrees at the.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
One point in time.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
I don't think.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
I think somebody let the fridge open that day.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Must yeah, that's probably in you know, seventeen eighty or something.
And typically in July we get three point six five
inches of rain, which I think we got.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Oh, I'm pretty already over with.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
So then I was looking at the forecast and hot, hot, steamy.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
Well, actually some people have come in and here's my
my ring gauge over here showing two and quarter inches
after this week, So we're right about on que Actually,
just it all comes at once, it does, and the
long range of forecast for.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
The next week is calling for nothing. Nothing, yeah, I think.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
So we're starting the landscape crew starting at six am.
We're knocking off at around one or two o'clock. It
seems kind of strange you go home so early, but
golly when you come out there with crack it.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
On, well, I know, I know those hours.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Well, I still someone sharing the road with me besides
the guy in the bread truck and the officer.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
So anyway, it's just how you deal with the weather.
You try to work around a little bit and keep
yourself hydrated before you mow your grass, get buns of
water in. You don't wait till after the fact, but
you want to be prepared and go ahead and drink
a lot of water before you mow your grass. And
if you have to take a break halfway through, so
what at least you at least you won't get too
(03:42):
hot and and and expire what's the word right out?
What's the word desiccated?
Speaker 6 (03:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Yeah, you won't get to to dried up, rated, yeah yeah,
hydrated yeah yeah, anyway.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Between the doors will get it.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
So before you go out and do some work in
the yard, even though it's not very hot yet, still
want to you go ahead and get hydrated, and it's
just plaine of water works.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Fine, So that's kind of how we That's how I
deal with it too.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Carry this big old water jug around with me where
and try to empty it out, you know, during the
course of the day, just uh, and just so you
don't get overrun by the heat. Your body has a
way of keeping itself cool with selecting and all that,
but if you don't let it do it, you'll get overheated.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Then you got problems.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Oh yeah, we've got to call it. We do. Hey,
good morning, and welcome to the Green Country Gardener.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Your you're called your comment, Good morning morning.
Speaker 7 (04:43):
Have a question that Hardy had discus.
Speaker 8 (04:45):
Yeah, so once they boom, is that helpful.
Speaker 7 (04:50):
To uh, pull off, cut off whatever the little what
you call it?
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it wouldn't hurt to cut those off.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
In fact, it might even make it bloom some more.
If you cut those off, it'll probably send out a
sideshoot and continue blooming. They have a fairly long bloom
period during the during the summer. And I have some
of my house and I keep them cut back after
they're done, and sometimes I'll put on some flowers.
Speaker 9 (05:24):
Okay, that's all I need to know.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Thank you, all right, thanks for calling.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
All right, thank you very much for your composting.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
And it's really easy. All you have to do is
dial one eight hundred seven nine five dying three six
and that will get you one with Larry.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
Hibiscus mushadoes well are actually it is a native American
species typical and there's native to swampy areas. Actually. Okay,
so anyway, somebody said, oh that's a cool plant. Let's
hybridize it. Now, we got flowers the size the folkswagens.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
They do.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
They do make a real nice large flower and they
are really extraordinarily hardy. However it can be, and I
think we're talking about them this week, but anyway, they are.
They do come up late in the year, and when
they come up, it's in three days or like twelve
feet tall.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Wow, No, they're not that tall.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Yeah, my goodness.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Once it gets warm enough, they really grow quickly. So okay,
at the nursery, we still have lots of color. We
got stuff on sale to so come on check it
out and.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
See you. Here we go.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Rosa Sharon's a thirty percent off African bottle it's a
thirty percent off Japanese maples, thirty percent off, Clematis, thirty
percent off. I date just thirty percent off prinso dollar off, etcetera, etcetera,
et cetera. So anyway, it's coming to the end of
our fiscal year, so we need to sell some stuff.
Speaker 8 (06:55):
Here.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
You go anyway, come on out and take advantage of
the sale prices. You know, it's not too late to plant.
You just have to be a little bit more diligent
with it. You need to be more observant with it.
And I don't plant too deeply, and definitely do not
over water. There can cause some problems. I've met with
the customer yesterday and her hinge and chicks were rotten away. WHOA, Well,
(07:19):
we've had a superfluous amount of brains, yes we have.
And hens and chicks simply are not they're not ducks
to pervive them. They're they're yeah, really, they're just not
suited for extended periods of wet weather. So hens and
chicks and seasons like that or something. You just simply
don't have the water that much because they store a
(07:41):
lot of water, okay, and they're just not suited to
wet areas like that. So in the Vesta regard this week,
tomatoes is showing some wet and heat related problems. You
might have some yellow leaves on the bottom as they
go up, and a lot of times that can be
alleviated with some bulch. It's a big fan of that.
(08:02):
For the tomatoes are well, tom it's a it's a
fundus issue. It bounces off the soil. When we have
brain and it gets on there, it CAUs there's a
fun problem. So adding some molts to tomatoes just fine.
I go to people's houses where they have tomatoes with
molts and beautiful green leaves all the way from the
bottom of the one up solid huh yeah. And these
giant tomatoes you know, the.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Size of basketballs.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Huh well that or cageball.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Yeah, big tomatoes, record ball size, majors.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Man.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
There you go.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
I didn't grow any tomatoes this year. My garden is fallow.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Okay, but next year I'll grow something.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yeah, you're just a little too busy. Dodge and thunderbolts
and brain drops.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
This great. They've got a broken toe and a broken finger.
That's still.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
You've been the pillar and pill for a long time.
This year you break two bones, I know, and you
never miss a day or work.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
I wasunderneath our tractor yesterday working on maintenance, bagor maintenance.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
That's fun.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Shade anyway, head to doe because the only time we
had to work on stuff like that is when it rains.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
And yeah, and just.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
Headed dope covered in mud and great and oil. I
was just in my element, just loved it.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
I can't tell you smiling your ears.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
God anyway, we just had to do a maintenance on
oil change. So wow, that's the kind of stuff we
do when we can't dig a hole in the ground,
do that kind of stuff too. So anyway, bermuda grass
and oyster grass are growing rapidly now. The crabgrass is
mature m so it's kind of too late to control
(09:47):
crab grass. Yeah, a lot that's at that stage right
now where a post emergent crabgrass control simply doesn't work.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
No, you spray round up on it and you're gonna
get yellow spots all over the.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Stay around and go buy some sod. I guess yeah,
is this what we.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Call claw hammery time? Were you?
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (10:08):
Actually I did that yesterday when he came home. There's
there's two kinds of craggrass. One of them has it's
very I don't know what they call it because I'm
not a professional when it comes to craggrass, but it
has its real long stem and forms just open like
an open hand on the ground and those just just
pull them up, throw them under the lawn bower and
(10:31):
drying them up, spread the seeds everywhere.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
So yeah, it get somebody else's yard.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
So yeah, the craggrass at least it's it's alive and growing.
I think it's feeling a little too hot for some
of it, kind of turning a little brown around the edges.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
A little bit. So wow.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
So also it's a time to maybe do another fertilization
on your bimeter as your grass, But don't do it
unless you have moisture in the ground what you do
right now, or have a means by which it can
be watered through right away too.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Diffusion is what it takes.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
Maybe, Yeah, if you put it, if you put fertilizer
down on drug ground, it can cause some problems.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (11:15):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
Shallow ritz is one of them, and it makes the
grass intolerant of dry conditions because hey, this.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Is I don't have to work.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Fertilizer right there.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
I don't have to go down deep to get it
and then it then it droughtstress is real bad. So
you can still fertilize but lightly right now on the lawn,
just just to kind of keep it going a little
bit and be prepared to irrigate when that happens when
you do put it down too. Okay, So grass is
growing erma grasses in its element right now. It tolerates
(11:45):
the heat quite well. So good fescue grass, though, keep
it tall. Don't don't cut your fescue grass very short
and sowers your grass kind of the same thing. Don't
cut it too short right now, all the grasses need
to be fairly high. And what that does it increases
the surface area of the of the grass, so it
has a better chance to keep yourself cool. It also
(12:07):
helps shade the ground a little bit. Keep that just
a little bit cooler too.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Now. I've been mowing it kind of high, even when
it was kind of wet. Yeah, and I had mook
quite often.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Too, but oh, it just seems like you get you
get a tent of an inch exploded, and it's like.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Oh my gosh, Okay, here I go. I'm getting in shape.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
That we had to buy a corner a lot.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Uh huh.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
That's what I got, So I delegate designate areas. I
don't know the whole thing at once, especially when it's hot,
So I do some bit on one day, So about
about a three day cycle. That's about motographs because you know,
work all day out of the heat. The less you
want to do is well, yeah, you got to keep.
Speaker 11 (12:52):
It neat you do.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
The neighbors might code yeah, rock fet your house.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
It's over there. Yeah, well shoot, they get off work.
You know, it's the west. We do the west side
first where it's kind of cool, and then kind of
gradually do the front and then I'll wait till Sunday.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Too in the back. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
I do do a little bit at a time when
it's really hot. You know, when you get to be
my age, just kind of have to do that.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
So yeah, I take a lot of breaks. See you
got a writer, don't you know? You know you got
to push her. Yeah, that's why I got.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
Yeah, it's got this variable speed and always run as
the fastest speed.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Keep those blades sharp.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Yeah, I got, I just got one speed.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
It's a good workout too.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Actually it is a good workout. I have one speed.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
It's called Mosy Mosy and is a mowen.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
Yeah, my mower is thirty years old. It needs a
new transmission. So okay, when Craig myrtles, uh there right
now they are and they're doing quite well. I know
I haven't won in front of my house.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
That's right. Happened after it?
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Right, It kind of went a little floppy on me.
But it seems to be pulling himself back up. And
I see that a lot of in the great myrtles
because I had a lot of weight and the rain
kind of made them bend down a little bit. You
could lighten them up a little bit, but not much.
And look at look at the blooms and if they're
if they're expired. In other words, the plumes come up
(14:27):
on the tips, the blooms come up on the tips
of the branch, and when they start to die out
that you still have time to cut them back and
they will regenerate.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Some blooms. At this point in time, the day length.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
Is such that that's typically what affects them and what
stimuls in the bloom is the length of day. And
while we're still at this people although we're going down
a little bit on.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
The peak, we're still in the arch.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
There's still time for them to put on somewhere bloom.
So if the blooms are starting to kind of to deteriorate,
and you can cut those old blooms off and chances
are it will send out a side shooting and bloom
even more.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Oh there you go.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Yeah, look at the color of your crepe myrtle.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
If you've got a red one and it's not really
super red, you might have a phosphorus deficiency. And I
wouldn't recommend fertilizing it too much at this point, but
just as a good practice, give it some ten twenty
ten something like that early in the spring and that'll
help it. But enhance enhance phosphor's content will help the
(15:32):
bloom color in the bloom volume too, got it, So
give them some of that earlier in the spring. I
think we discussed it and show us past to what
to do with the crepe myrtles. But right now, don't
water them too much. At this point. You can get
mildew and mold on them, stuff real bad. So give
they like it a little bit on the dry side.
(15:53):
They really don't like wet feet, so they should do. Okay,
watch out for a scale insect on them too. It's
a traite myrtle. Scale is a pretty bad problem with them.
And look at the stand and look for a little tiny,
little white specs on them, and those are typically our
scale insects. You can kind of rub them off a
(16:13):
little bit, but there are some controls for that you
can get you too.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Sopie waterworks.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Sophie water works pretty well. Captain Jack's dead bug works
pretty good.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
All right, Captain Jack's dead bug, it works pretty good. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
Also one cure and is a metoploprid too. It's a
systemic and it works from within. Okay, So you mix
it up and pour it on the ground and the tree.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Draws it up.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Dope, put it on the tree.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
It's a systemic nicotinoid, gotcha, and it affects the nervous
system of the insect.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
All right, We're going to take a quick break, folks.
We are going to be back after this two minute,
thirty second time out.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
All right, it's eight twenty seven. We went a little
along with that's okay, it is seventy seven degrees and
this is the Green Country Gardener Program.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
I'm Tom, He's Larry. Larry Glasses are expert.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
And our phone line is open at one eight hundred
seven four nine five nine three six.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
And I gotta tell you you're the busiest man.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
Yeah, doorbell ring, I thought it was on start tracking
the door was nobody, okay.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Irrigation systems, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
So talk about irrigation system down to rain for another
six months.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
You really want to allow a at least a slight
drying period between irrigation systems.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Is that in order to keep the plants always thirsting
a little bit?
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Well?
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Yeah, that, and it helps it stimulates a deeper root system.
So when you do irrigate, set out of something and
say how long it takes you to do an inch
of water, and that's how much time you need to
go on a week?
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Okay, that's all. Yeah, So you gotta do a little math, a.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
Little bit of mathea and you can save you some
water too. Actually, and you do want the ground to
dry out on the surface significantly before I go to
a lot of people's yards and they run their sprint
cards that on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, eight o'clock in the morning.
And then when you dig a hole in the ground,
the grass is only you know, two inches deep because yeah,
(21:00):
because it there's no incentive to go down and dig in, and.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
So you need to irrigate.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
You know, the sprinkler heads have specifications and how much
water you put out basically on the nozzle, tam there
in the spacing, et.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Cetera, et cetera, and uh, typically thirty minute.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
It takes about thirty minutes to do an inch of
rain or so, and a rainbird five thousand and three
point zero. So you want to keep that in mind
for a total length of time. Look, you need to
research and look at the precipitation rate. How much water
do you put down on a given time And it's
easy to do. Just take the wife's at night with
thirteen pin and turn it on and combat to you
(21:45):
with a rolling pin.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
With my cookwaard's off there.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
It's just my cookware my case anyway, and that'll tell
you how much how long to irrigate an a given
period of time. Typically on this thing totals we have
a year of precipitation of what is it average inches
forty point five inches of rain given here, Yeah, and
(22:15):
that's about an inch a week, so.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Maybe a little less. But so.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
The thing is, though you do want the surface of
the grass and your plants, do you want the surface
of the soil to dry out a little.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Bit between water?
Speaker 5 (22:33):
These plants just simply aren't suited for living in a
constantly wet environment. You know, if you're growing cattails and.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Lily pads, that's another story.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
But bermuda grass and stuff like that. No, it doesn't
need so much water. So Monday, Wednesday, Friday, it's fine,
but know how much rain or water you're putting down
in that time period. And another factor considered is the slope.
If you have a fairly steep slope on there, you
(23:02):
do want to water, say Monday or Tuesday or Thursday
or whatever, twice.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
A week or so.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
But most of the timers have multiple start times on them,
so you can observe how it's irrigating and observe when
it starts running down the curb, and that'll be the
maximum time per cycle on it. So you can let
it run at three am and six am and maybe
and then nine am or something like that, and so
(23:31):
it'll soak.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Into the ground rather than run off.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
So you have to consider it your percolation rate in
your soil also, and we have a bit of a
clay and a sOliver here also. Yeah, so and it
does retain water quite well. And that's one reason why
we need a little bit of a dry period between irrigations,
just so we don't have a problem with shallow rists
and stam rot on your grass and stuff.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
A little bit of a science to it, but there is.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
That's why you went. You went to the College of Knowledge.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
So if you do have a slope and you do
have a sprinker system, consider doing UH and do several
startups on that particular circuit. A lot of them have
A B, C and D circuits on their channels on
them start times if you will. And you can designate
that one circuit that's on a hill to go.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
UH A and B and the C D. But you
can delete the other one from the PC and D
just want of that one.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
So get it organized. We have our ways get it organized.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
Also that some of the newer timers are their internet connected.
We put one in for a customer and let's say
a lot of do we need to put a range
and s Ring says, none of those things working just
great without it. It gets data from National Weather Service
and how much rain we have, and it adjusts the
(24:55):
irrigation accordingly, accordingly, exactly.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
So like some people I know, well, I tell you
what they got, the fountains flaring in the middle of
a storm.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
Yeah, and also on on the on these web based
the timers, you can designate.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
What type of soil you have and what so on.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
You can vary the amount of water it gets in
based on what you have in it. We did a
a system recently where he has two different types of
grass and we put the soyser grass in one area,
in permutograss in the other. And they have slightly different
requirements as far as watering is concerned, so those areas
can be designated separately, so you put less water on
(25:41):
the permuta grass and more and more water perths on
the Soisier grass.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Makes sense because the soiser is close to the house.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
It's real nice and velvety and it's a pretty grass,
and the permuta grasserras, it just covers things.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Yeah, sut there to make sure you don't see anything exactly.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
A lot of times when we do a landscape. On
several occasions we've done that, we're close to the house.
We make it look really, really nice for this beautiful,
beautiful green velvet carpet of.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
Vois on the other side of the driveway or somewhere
up for me.

You know what they say, right, no pain, no gain.
But what if it hurts just to walk? It's probably
just you getting older, right, Well, it could be peripheral
arterial disease, a serious condition often called clogged arteries in
the legs.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
PAD.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
Symptoms can include cramping in your legs when you walk,
but some people don't feel any symptoms at all, and
PAD severely limits blood flow, making it one of the
leading causes of foot and leg amputations. It also makes
you up to six times more likely to die for
heart disease or stroke. PAD is no walk in the
(28:04):
park if you're over fifty, especially if you smoke or
have diabetes. Talk to your doctor about getting tested for PAD.

Speaker 4 (28:56):
Our tree the week is a Japanese people.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
They're atctually several types sizes of Japanese maple there are.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
It's not that old big purple thing that people plant
two feet away from the house. There are some smaller
ones too, they are they Yeah, yeah, we have some
of the nursery too. Oh yeahs again. Think it's aboutnee high.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
That's a small tree.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
It's a small tree. Yeah, what's that medium size hip
high around around here?
Speaker 5 (29:27):
And then the Japanese that the blood good say, Japanese
mample gets up to twenty feet.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
So I have one in my backyard that's about to
be tall. All right, nice, blood good. Nice It was
moved like five times.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Do they leave much leaves in the fall?
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Do they leave much leads in the fall? Well, yeah,
they don't have any leaves.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
I didn't think fall.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
Yeah, but they can have some actually, some good fall
color in them too. One thing you want to watch
out from the crap murles at this point.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
In any time, or a border. I've seen that so
many times.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
So the boars go in and part of the tree
dies out, and said, what's wrong with my tree? Then
you look at it as the bar's all falling off
the tree from boars girdling it.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Now we have ways to stop that or supervented all together,
do we not?
Speaker 4 (30:16):
Yes. If you do have a situation where your Japanese mable.
Speaker 5 (30:20):
Has some bars on it, you might want to consider
using some medicloporate on it, which is a systemic. You
used to use a di system but they took it
off the market. But the mediclop bridge is very effective
in controlling them and also keep them watered real well.
Not you know, they're not swamp plants spelled me, but
(30:41):
let them get a little bit on the dry side
and make.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
Sure they have adequate water.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
Sure because the bar insecttendo attack more plants that are
under stress typically than ones that are super healthy. So
uh and look very closely at it looked and especially
on the southwest side, looked very close. Or a bark
that's peeling or something, and if you see it or
on the trunk typically is round. When you cut it,
(31:09):
cut out of sections around, but it'll have a flat
spot on it, say on the southwest side or on
a sunny side where we're situated, and that's the indication
that there's some border damage in there.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
They will recover from border damage.
Speaker 5 (31:24):
The tree will encapsulate it and just do its way,
going on its way with growing.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
But they can get overwhelmed.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
They can.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
So look at him real closely this time of year,
look at him real.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
Closely, because the problem is pretty bad right at this
point in time. So take a good close look at
your Japanese maple and look for.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
Holes in it.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
Look for weeping, especially on the southwest side of it.
Look for flat spots on the bark, on the on
the trunk where it's it's not circular, and that's a
sure signage.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
Have boards. So very simple application.
Speaker 5 (32:03):
You mix this step up in a bucket and portland ground,
then get back out of the heat.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
It does pretty well.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
But I really like them for their leaf and their
color effect and all that. And if you really want
a big Japanese maple, plant it five feet away from.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
The house about this far. It's still kind of close.
Speaker 5 (32:25):
It's gonna look a little distant at first, why did
you plant that thing in the middle of the front
yard wine? He said, plant it out there, you know,
and then you know eight years later it fits nicely.
Keep it five to seven feet away from the sidewalk
five to seven feet so away from the house, and
it did quite well if you want to have them
(32:45):
fairly close to there.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
There are some miniature varieties of the Japanese maple.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
There's an acer Palmatum dissectum, which gets about max t
ten feet apart or so, and then there are some
other ones that are too numerous. A name that Emperor's
one that stays kind of small so it won't outdrove
the space got it, and it likes the well drained areas.
(33:11):
It does like some shielding from the midday sun. It
will tolerate some sun pretty well, but your leaves on
the top will tend to bleach a little bit, and
you'll also get some winter damage from scorch sun scorch
that's when it gets really really cold. That warm sun
comes on there and it causes problems with the vascular
(33:34):
with the vascular tissue on the stems.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
It causesus some issues.
Speaker 5 (33:37):
So they do need some shielding from the sun, but
if anything, they need some shielding from the winter. So
that's one of the biggest problems, is a sun scorch
from are rapidly up and down the weather cycles in
the winter. So it's a good one having the landscape.
(33:58):
Keep in mind that it's it's crooked when you're when
you're picking out a Japanese maple, don't pick out a
straight one because it won't be that way, not growing lumber,
growing an esthetically pleasing tree with kind of crooked branching
on it. So really the ugliest one in the shop
(34:18):
will be probably the best I can tree. I know
at my house one comes out this way and it's
got a branch over this way, and then it comes
away out and it's even in the winter time, it's
really fascinating to look. So Japanese maple is a good
thing in the landscape. They do very well in areas
of hillcrest and with them parked beautiful plants over there,
(34:40):
got on the big old Japanese maples and some of
the older parks of Colonial there's some down there too.
They're real pretty also, so they do associate very well
with other trees. Keep them away from hackberry trees because hackberry,
the rich system of the hackberry tree tends to be
very aggressive. It can cause some problems. So you had that,
(35:01):
well you might consider something else, Yeah, you plants. Well,
actually we've planted them in there. They've stayed up pretty
well with.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
With hackbray trees.
Speaker 5 (35:11):
Maybe it's because they're toxic, but peez so. But the
Jaffese maple can't tolerate a lot of heavy competition like that.
All right, good plan to have in the landscape. It's
a specimen interest plant.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
Very good.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
Okay, let's take a quick break.

the number, Larry.
Speaker 5 (37:56):
With all the rain we've had and the heat comes on,
you want to get some cracking on you tomatoes, So
you might want to pick them when they start to
turn a little bit on the pink side, just so
you don't get those nasty old multi cracks.
Speaker 3 (38:07):
On your Yeah, just say not a crack on the tomato.
Speaker 5 (38:11):
That's what I do when I have the tomatoes. We
pick them just when they start to lighten up a.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
Little bit, stick them in the window for a while,
rotating a little go in.
Speaker 4 (38:18):
The window cill and they do just fine.
Speaker 5 (38:20):
The heat is pretty bad about that, and we have
a lot of moisture in the ground too, so they're
soaking up a lot of water. So there's just going
to be some cracking on the tomatoes. So you might
want to pick them while their skins still kind of tough.
Speaker 4 (38:32):
Oa, right.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (38:35):
Chinese pistache is another tree we can talk about. This
is a very popular one. They grow up to about
fifty feet at the most fifty foot tall the wide,
and they're crooking and gangling when young, you know what,
we all, but they will they'll straighten up with age though.
What The good thing about this is the excellent fall color,
(38:56):
and it's very deeply rooted too, so it'll go down
and seek out new life and new civilizations rather deeply
into the ground.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
Let's go to the phones here real quick. Hey, good morning, welcome.
You're on the air with the Green Country Gardener.
Speaker 7 (39:13):
Why do you want to put your tomatoes in the window?
Speaker 5 (39:15):
Still, Well, if it's gonna get really hot like that
and the ground's kind of saturated and you could get
some cracking.
Speaker 7 (39:24):
Well, tomatoes rife and in the absence of light, okay,
rife and with the sun. Oh okay, so well I've
always put mine in the window sill. So well that's
a no, that's an old wives tale thing.
Speaker 5 (39:40):
Well we're both very old wives, yes, so anyway, yeah,
it's uh well put them in the dark and okay,
all right, thank you appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
All right, there you go. Well, I'm gonna get it
when I get home. Get those tomatoes.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
Out the window sill.
Speaker 5 (40:05):
Well, the windows in the east window, so and I
can see when they're ready to go.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
Anyway, so.
Speaker 4 (40:13):
There might be a little bit of an issue with cracking.
Speaker 5 (40:16):
So anyway, the Chinese pistache, it's very disease resistant tree,
and it's dioecious libra or not. That means male and
female are on a separate plant. One has male flowers,
one has female flowers. So if you want to get one,
if you if you want to pustache, if you don't
(40:37):
want the female seeds, you want to pick one that's
fairly mature. That's a nursery or whatever, or ask if
it's a cloned one. It's just been it's just a
a female for sure. Was a cloned off of a
female plant? Or is it or is a seed drone
typically we have clones at the nursery, so most of
them are going to turn out to be male. You
(40:59):
don't have the name seeds everywhere. Now, then what up
and get through?
Speaker 3 (41:02):
Though, I know how that goes anywhere.
Speaker 5 (41:06):
I got lucky at my house when when I dugling
up out of the backyard.
Speaker 4 (41:10):
It's made a really good tree. I mean it's the trunk.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
Is really pretty good size. Yeah, and it.
Speaker 5 (41:16):
Has no problems at all. I do need to trim
it up a little bit. It looks kind of like
doctor Seus's tree really.
Speaker 3 (41:21):
Oh yeah, I've seen those in the books.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
Yeah, so I need to work on a little bit.
Speaker 17 (41:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (41:27):
Anyway, just pistache is a good one. I liked it
close to structures or the garage or somewhere. Does shield
stuff in the afternoon from the heat. Does well around patios.
But you want to make sure you get a mail
plant if you're going to put it close to the house.
Speaker 4 (41:43):
Okay, got it. Very very few bug problems.
Speaker 5 (41:47):
I have seen some bore problems with pistache trees, so
that's something against which they are not immune. So you
want to keep them pretty healthy and fertilized. You know,
they don't have to fertilize it too much, but you
don't want to put them under too much stress.
Speaker 4 (42:02):
They'll do fine. This tree I have to do nothing too,
so that's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
You've got a lot of stuff in your yard. You've
really not had to do anything to.
Speaker 5 (42:13):
Get One plant I have I did a long time ago,
and it's a weeping bald cypress.
Speaker 4 (42:21):
And it comes up, droves up, and then.
Speaker 5 (42:23):
The branches just weep and hang over like this weep
beautiful plant really and bald cypress gallop. It's as tough
as the day as long doesn't bother them, and it's
really very showy. Actually, how big of that thing yet?
It's about twelve feet tall right now. It's been in
there for a good twenty years. But it's weeping bald cypress.
(42:44):
And I really do like this plant because I do
nothing to it.
Speaker 3 (42:48):
You don't have to maintain. You have to do a trimmery. Oh.
Speaker 4 (42:50):
I have a few dead branches here and there.
Speaker 5 (42:52):
You kind of shape it up a little bit, but
they don't do too much too. Wow, and it's getting
fairly large.
Speaker 3 (42:58):
I kind of like those that are on independence.
Speaker 4 (43:00):
What I mean.
Speaker 5 (43:01):
Now, my plumb tree that's on the south side of
it is starting to die out there, so they kind
of run the course. But I got to pull it
out then you'll be able to see it more clearly.
But it's it's really very kind of an interesting study
in a textural stuff in the landscape, textural appearance and
differences and so on. So anyway, so there are some
(43:25):
interesting plants like that. Another one is a ruby falls
a red bud. We planted some of those in town
and they are really really nice.
Speaker 4 (43:33):
It's a red bud.
Speaker 5 (43:34):
You know, it's native to the area so we can
tolerate the conditions pretty well. And this one grows weeping
like this, and the leaves are red and it has
all these flowers on it. In the spring, it's very
very showy for the most part. But August, July and
August and September, red buds get a little ugly. Well
(43:56):
it's so hot, yeah, and the leaves tend to kind
of brown a little bit. But anyway, the the ruby
Fall's red bud, it's very attractive tree. We planted a few.
There's one in Glenua we planted. Go into his house
city check out his drain. But anyway, and it just
when it blooms it's just beautiful and there's nothing to it.
Speaker 3 (44:18):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (44:19):
So uh so, plants like that in the landscape, the
ruby fall's red bud, the Chinese pustache, and the bold
cress trees that really do very well without a lot
of care.
Speaker 3 (44:33):
All those take pretty good sun. They take it over
the Wow.
Speaker 5 (44:38):
So consider that, and and the Japanese ma able to
consider that for specimen interest trees in the landscape, they
should be highlighted somewhere, somewhere you can see them, are
framed with a bed around them, or other plants beside them,
or something to make them really pop out.
Speaker 4 (44:54):
Okay, it looks good.
Speaker 3 (44:58):
Good.
Speaker 2 (44:58):

Jane Phillips in Bartlesville.
Speaker 19 (45:36):
In nineteen thirty nine, James Farley, the former chairman of
the Democratic National Committee and Franklin Roosevelt's Postmaster General, traveled
to Bartlesville, Oklahoma to meet with Frank Phillips. This was
a special meeting, and for Frank, a bit different, as
Farley did not come to visit about oil or banking.
He had another purpose. He came to Bartlesville to try
(45:56):
to convince mister Phillips to buy the New York Yankees
baseball team. The former owner had died in nineteen thirty nine,
and Farley and others felt that Frank had the resources
necessary to buy the ball club. Already a wonderful dynasty
with such greats as Babe Ruth and Lou Garrick leading
the way, the Yankees were known worldwide and would certainly
provide great personal and professional exposure to Frank in to
(46:20):
Phillips Petroleum. After much consideration, Frank decided not to buy
the Yankees, and despite their continued success, he never regretted
that decision, as he told his friends, I just couldn't
buy him. I've always been a National League man. Come

little fun together, and uh, let's see, we just got
a few minutes Left's the.
Speaker 4 (48:25):
Rain gage, Mike. Yeah, look at that two and our.
Speaker 5 (48:28):
Two and about three eight inches of the range.
Speaker 3 (48:31):
Yeah, there we go. That's a professional rain gauge. It
looks like a big old bucket you got there.
Speaker 5 (48:38):
No, it's just a regular ring too. We calibrated too. Yeah,
it's the big one. So for those of us who are.
Speaker 4 (48:45):
Old, we can see it, we can read it.
Speaker 13 (48:49):
Golly.
Speaker 4 (48:50):
So we had a couple of inches of rain this week.
Speaker 10 (48:52):
Not bad.
Speaker 4 (48:53):
So final last very long we're going of the weather.
Speaker 3 (48:57):
Yeah, this this will drive up quickly.
Speaker 4 (48:59):
Okay, we're going to talk a little bit about.
Speaker 5 (49:01):
The door feelup on holiday. Yep, they're a very versatile
planet in the landscape. That's in the lighthouse that are
forty years old, so they're durable, and they're not even
knee high. What do I do to keep them that small?
Some people let them get too big. They can't get
up to ten feet tall. Better get the out the
electric hedge climmers.
Speaker 4 (49:21):
Poor things. Only use them once a year and just
cut them.
Speaker 3 (49:24):
Flat Saint Valentine's Day massacre about the.
Speaker 5 (49:28):
Middle of February, saying wow, And I just cut them
and so you can kind of see in between. And
about two weeks later they're growing and all this fills
back in and it makes for a small mounted shrub.
Speaker 4 (49:42):
Very nice.
Speaker 5 (49:43):
But it's just this one thing. The only thing I
do with them all year long is just that one cutback.
Speaker 3 (49:49):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (49:50):
And I don't cut it around the edge, just flat
across the block. It may seem a little odd, but
it works. But I have the windows that are about
this tall, and I didn't want to cover them up.
So the dwarf jop on holly is in front there. Yeah,
Kevin is envious, like walking back.
Speaker 4 (50:14):
Yeah, he's got one that.
Speaker 5 (50:15):
I think The thing is his heads clippers probably weigh
a couple of thousand pounds.
Speaker 3 (50:19):
Ye bounce it on the back of a tracker.
Speaker 5 (50:23):
So that's the secret to keep him, the dwarf yop
on holly in shape and in bounds. It's just once
a year cutting him back real well. And then I
use some iron sulfate on them and some just good
old shrub fur laser, just general purpose whatever I got.
They're not too picky, and it maintains a really fairly
(50:43):
dark green color the dwarf jop on holly. Typically it's
kind of a grayish green color, and it's not as
dark green as we might want it to be green too,
So that's kind and what I like about this plant
is not a whole lot really bothers it Now. Going
into the winter, though, you want to make sure that
the ground is well mulched one and number two not permitted.
Speaker 4 (51:06):
To get really dry, because you.
Speaker 5 (51:08):
Can't get some sporadic die off on this if if
it's not tended to in the in.
Speaker 3 (51:13):
The fall at the shop.
Speaker 4 (51:15):
At the shop, we got all kinds of stuff on sale.
Speaker 5 (51:16):
We've got some really nice perennials still around, and how
many weird plants and so on, checking the plants, plenty
of hanging baskets and all that, and got a lot
of stuff on sale.
Speaker 3 (51:26):
Oh gosh, yeah, we're all going, uh.
Speaker 5 (51:28):
Yeah, we got trees and shrubs, and give us a
shout and I come out to your house and laugh
at your landscape. Anyway, tom, it's been a good show
this week. We do a lot of talking and hopefully
we help out some people here and there.
