Speaker 1 (00:02):
Well, it's time to talk a little bit about the
outside of our home. And when really, when we take
a look at our home, we always talking about curb appeal.
It's all about the landscaping, the yard, the house, the
front door, and then the inside. And that's what we do.
We do the house, mister Wilson. Ron Wilson, he joins us,
We're always talking about the landscaping in the garden, and Ron,
(00:23):
this is the Super Bowl month, that's for sure, a
lot going on. Can I get my tomatoes now?
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Yes, Rod, you say, sheep roadblock, Yeah, you're road.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
I'm still stuck with a roadblock in my head.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Well, that's okay.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
It could have been a speed bump.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
It's a speed bump. We started out really.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
You know, you know, slow you down, but you know
what a roadblock. Well that was the first hand came
to my mind. That's okay, gep Off my Schneid visit. Yes,
tomatoes just now. Yeah, absolutely, people have been planting them
for a couple of weeks, longer than that, unfortunately, but yeah, absolutely.
(01:09):
As a matter of fact, that mister Sullivan, I will
comment on the fact that if I'm somewhere at the
end of June at a garden center and I find
something of tomato pepper that I've never planned to before,
and I would like to try it. I will continue
to plan until the fourth of July. So yes, I
have plenty of time. We got plenty of time. Selections
will obviously dwindle down over time.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
As people get off the schneid.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
If they get off their schneid start planting. But yes,
but it you know, it's amazing how many things can
be grown from seed that folks don't realize. You can
plant the same way later on. As a matter of fact,
a lot of the pumpkin and gord growers won't plant
any seeds at all till they get into June, really, yeah,
before they want to get into some really warm soil temperatures,
(01:54):
air temperatures consistently and yeah, and so many times, you know,
if I get stuff planted in, whether we flower the annuals, tomatoes, whatever,
you know, first second, third week of June, and so
at that point they just explode with new growth. So
they get caught basically caught up with everybody else's so well.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Also, you know, besides the garden, you know, the landscaping,
the flowers, the annuals and things. We saw a past
a house actually, and Sue goes, gosh, look at that.
I really liked that. And it was somebody that had planned.
They had a little planning bed in the front of
the house in front of the bushes that were along
(02:34):
the foundation planets, and they had planted colias, and man,
it was colorful. It was really pretty. And it kind
of got me thinking, I don't know much about colius
at all, never grown it, but I was thinking, Gee, said,
it certainly brings good color to the landscaping.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
And I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Is that a trend or has it always been people
would plant plants that would deliver color rather than flowers,
And it is it easier to take care of than
the annual flowers?
Speaker 3 (03:06):
You know my lovely bride yes, And you know she
has never really been involved with planting our planters or
whatever till the last two or three years. But up
until that point, as I planted them with flowers, I
would finish and she would say, where are the flowers?
Because they were filled with colias and kalladiums and thrills
and things like that, that we're all foliage colors rather
(03:30):
than flower colors, and I'd put a few things in
it flower, but I love plants that give you foliage
colors versus. And of course Colius is my absolute favorite
annual of all annuals. I'm glad you brought it up.
And there are so many great color selections out there today,
it is crazy, Like I mean, even in our greenhouse
we probably grow thirty or forty different selections of colias.
(03:53):
Really yeah, with different types of variegation and all that
their leaves. So the thing about Colius, it is considered
more of a shade annual, although there are some of
the newer varieties will tolerate the sun. But if you
like that, you know, look at Perilla. Parilla looks like Colius,
but it will tolerate full sun. So there are you know,
(04:13):
there are things to work around. Kalladiums are the same way.
They've got so many great combination of colors orange or
whites and greens and pinks and reds and love. The
shade can really brighten up a shady garden, so I
like that. There's a there's a preennial called coral bells,
and I don't know if you have those in your
garden or not, but Cora bells the same way. Coral
bells are all sold with all these colors, from dark
(04:35):
maroons to shartruse to oranges and peach colors. And I've
seen gardens where they've taken and just planted an array
of all the different colors and made like a patchwork
kilt quilt. Look in the garden absolutely stunning. And again
the flowers are not all that showy, but the foliage
is fantastic. So an answer to your question, yes, well
(04:57):
we'll have.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
To see what missus Sullivan bought. Because they're playing it
in a sunny location.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Well, now that's okay. Keep the watered, you're all right.
Sometimes it gets really hot and dry. They can scorch
a little bit, and some of them are doing a
much better job in the sun today than they used to,
so you know, you're probably still okay.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
All right. Well, there's a couple that are a little
bit shaded, but I'll check. But they the ones we saw, seriously,
they were beautiful, no idea what type they were. And
she right away said, I think I'm gonna put those
right in front of you know, this one area, and
I went, great, and that it looks it looks nice.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
They'll be fine. And the thing about colius is that
they do flower, okay, and I don't let them flower,
and most people don't. Is it kind of flower like
right at the top. Yeah, okay, So you'll pinch that
out anytime you see them start the flower, just pinch
that out. Anytime colus catching a little bit laggy and
stretching out on you a little bit, you pinch the
top out of it. Takes about two weeks they feel
right back in again, so so easy to take care of.
(05:58):
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Oh, it'll be a new proceed to Sullivan household, that's
for sure. Gosh, everything's growing like always does in May.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Right.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Oh, yeah, bushes have bloomed.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Hopefully you haven't started pruning already.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
No, but that was the question, you know. I mean,
I got some lilacs right outside in my office window.
They're beautiful. The fragrance is awesome, and they still got
flowers on them. They certainly wouldn't trim him yet. But
in another week or two those flowers will be gone.
Is that a good time to just kind of reshaped them.
That's an exception to the rule. Lilacs you want to
prone within a two or three week period after they're
(06:32):
finished flowering.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Do you want to get on that right away? You
wait any longer into the season, you start to prune
away some of your flower buds for next year already,
So that's when you get on it right away. But
anything in the evergreens and at that are putting out
a lot of box within that right now, let that
harden off right before you go in and pun.
