Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, it's time to go outdoors. Our friend Ron Wilson,
who does a national gardening show, is joining us once again.
And mister Wilson, missus Sullivan would like to know if
there's a drought going on. But as I look out
the window, it looks like a pretty steady rain.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
You tell missus Sullivan, she's just becoming a regular stand
up comedian.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
She's enjoying this, is she. And for folks that don't know,
is we like many many people have had some really
dry summers over the last ten to fifteen years, falls
in falls. Yeah, last fall was really yeah. And Ron
preaches everybody about taking care of the landscaping the lawn
(00:45):
if you'd like, And Missus Sullivan always likes to say,
tell Ron it's okay. Well it's not always okay, but
right now, seriously, we've had a very wet spring, have
we not here?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yeah, lots of rainfall out about it actually confusing folks
sometimes actual water newly planted trees and shrubs or not right,
and you know it's the same old, same were don't
need to check the immediate rootball to see if they
because sometimes even with all the rain, right, it doesn't
penetrate to trade the root ball. So you know what
I thought you were going to say on that water
volcano thing? What's that you said? I wasn't going to
(01:21):
go get the ladder, so I convinced all the grandkids.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Oh, get them up there. I mean, I'm telling you what, ron.
I've seen gutters overflow, I've seen downspouts back up, and
this thing it was a volcano.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
That thing was plugged. I pulled out it looked like
a four inch wide, uh, big piece of rope that
must have been two feet long. And I guess it's
the pine needles. You know where those pine trees are, right,
the pine needles and different things that have just gotten
(01:55):
in there over the years, little pieces, And it just
kept mounting and mountain water was going through it just fine.
And then one day it said maybe not, I couldn't
do that enough MP, enough's enough, and it was. It
was kind of I started pulling this ropeie thing out
with it with literally a snake, a garden snake, and
(02:17):
and it was or drain snake, and it looked like
a garden snake when I pulled.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
It actually had a garden snake in there as well.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
I thought it was when I started pulling it, like,
I don't know what I'm pulling out, but this could
just might not have a good ending.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Crazy stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Yeah, but you know, again, if you don't really pay attention.
I was actually went out to see how hard it
was raining. I knew it was raining really hard. I
didn't know if it was hailing. I was just curious.
I picked my head out on the screen porch and
I see this just gushing out of the double elbow
of that downs about, like, what in the world is
(02:54):
going on there?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
And I found out so may have been doing that
a couple of times. You might have been never know,
I just didn't notice. I have to get those grand
kids up there more often to take a look.
Speaker 1 (03:05):

rainy day like today, this Saturday or tomorrow and get
out to your local independagartic race idea and buy what

folks aren't gonna go out today or tomorrow. I'm not

a lot of outdoor contractors, you know, painters outdoors, they're
probably slow right now. Yeah, for outside work. And I'm like,
I got it right on my notes, big print book

stuff for mom, like making our special planter or hanging
basket or whatever, you may do, get it this weekend,
take it home, put it in the garage, down on
the patio or whatever. But you got it out of
the way now, Sure, spend more time with Mom next weekend, so.
