But we're gonna talk about growing garlic. This guy is
it's just mister Garlic, mister Garland.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Does he have a shirt that says mister Garland.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
I think he probably does have multiple shirts to say
mister Garland. Everything's garlic. He grows eighteen different types of garlic.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Does he have a website? Yes he does. Maybe is
it mister garlic dot com?
Speaker 1 (06:05):
No, but it should be. So we're going to talk
about two things, which garlic should you be planting? Of
course now's a good time to plant, and how to
play garlic. And then we're going to talk about which
garlic should be the spaghetti carbonoglee. Why why is garlic?
So you know, why are we eating more garlic? Why
is garlic So, I mean, it's like, right the high
at the top of the list of things that are
good for you to eat. And he's gonna talk a
(06:26):
little bit about that as well. This guy knows his garlic.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I know my mom, she really likes garlic, and I
don't think I don't know if she does it much anymore,
but I still remember when I was a kid, she
would just have bread and clothes of garlic on top
of the bread, right, and just eat it like a sandwich. Yep.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
We had a pizza a couple of weeks ago with
Megans and it had slices of the clothes on the
pizza and it wasn't too overbearing, but it was good.
It was a nice, good tasting and yeah, it was
very tasty. You always knew when Mamma had her garlic sandwiches,
but they knew that she knew for a reason. Not
only do they like the flavor, but she knew that
was good for you.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Well. She's also was born in Romania, so she's keep
waiting up to the vampires. Yes, we're not talking about
wearing it around your neck. Well, anyway, I love you, mom.
She's of course not as is she wear that at Halloween.
(07:27):
She wears it all the time, all the time. Yeah, okay,
all the time. So cool. But yeah, those are two
guests for today. You and mister Garlic and and mister
Sullivan and of course Buggy Joe and yeah, Buggy Joe.
I mean, what's going he is, like, he's totally slacking.
Usually around this time we have, like, even though it's
(07:47):
it's kind of wearing mid October, even though it's wearing down,
we usually get at least three or four things. He
only sent two things this week. I don't know what
to tell you. I don't know what to tell you.
He's slacking down. I must be that Buggy text me.
That's him right there, man. So maybe sending another is
his favorite, his his very favorite bug The ant lions.
(08:10):
Oh yeah, he loves and uh. I used to have
a ton of ant lions in one of my planting
beds and then I started putting stuff in there and
they're not there anymore.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Because it's not dry, right, dry soil. Yeah, so but
those things are cool.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
And beach blight, yes, the beach blight a feed that
kind of looks like, yeah, it kind of looks like
if you have I don't know if you're if your
tree's got dandruff.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Cotton cotton growing on the stems, but when you walk
up to him, they dance and do a little jig for.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah, got video of that bill Yeah. As a matter
of fact, As a matter of fact, about three weeks ago,
we actually had one of our listeners send me a
video of these things that they saw on their beach tree.
And they walked up and it was a video, and
it walked up to it. They all started going back
and forth. So I said it to Jo because that's
the why they called a boogie woogie beechaf and as
(09:07):
they do the boogie woogie. So he was impressed with
the videos.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yes, I was just making a drug apparently a surprise
surprise exactly. Uh. This week, Rita's recipe of the week
is a rugas try it again rug salad. I love
aug I'm okay for now. Yeah, I mean I kind
(09:32):
of like all those except kale. Yeah, I do not
like kale. But a arugula's got that peppery yeah taste
to it, very distinct. And then of course you got
a arugula with sobby and has the horse radish flavored
every last horse radish. There you go. So she's got
a salad this week with made with a arugula and pears.
(09:52):
And she said, and she claims she picked these pears
from her neighbor's tree.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Probably in the darkness of night. What did she come
in with so the neighbors didn't know that she picked them.
What wasn's she coming in with her potions?
Speaker 2 (10:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
She's on the show next Saturday, tell us about the
warm up for the for Halloween. So I don't know,
Maybe she'll bring them in.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
M acquiring mindes want to know.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Really, So once you give her your dress and then
maybe when she's out flying on the Halloween night she
could drop just to kind of drop those off of
your house. Yeah. Yeah, So then you wake up in
the morning and there's a bag on the first of
all bags hopefully some lemonchello.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Yes. The plant of the week is the winterbery. What winterbury?
Why would you want to giberry? Well, isn't that the
holly that they you put in those porch pots.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Yeah, you'll see them in the porch pots. But now
the leaves are starting to fall off plants, you'll start
to see these nice big shrubs that have these huge
red berries on them, and I mean they're brilliant, and
the birds don't eat until later in the year, so
they stay on there for a while and they use
them a lot at Christmas time in your holiday porch spots.
But it's a nice big shrub for like screening and
(11:14):
in your mass plantings and things like that. But it's
a holly that loses the lease. So it's a deciduous holly,
and it's male and female, dislike the evergreen hollies. But
the berries are phenomenal, as you can see with the
picture there. So yes, So that's my plan of the
week this week. And there are many different ones to
choose from as well, so even some that have yellow berries.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Does the does the garden fairy have those? Me personally
or the garden Fairy? Yes? Would you like some? Well,
because because I told you I was clearing out that front,
I needed something you don't want that there?
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Why we need a male and female to get the berries.
Oh okay, so you'd have to have a place to
plant the male. Also, he doesn't get beeres, he just
takes care of pollinating for the berries. She'd have to
plant him somewhere close by. So see, when you do
a mass planning, you work in the one male and
then you get four or five females planning mass planting.
(12:14):
He kind of gets hidden in there. Get that one
he got, that one doesn't flower, and all the rest
of them do. Gotcha, Okay, Southern Gentleman is one of
the never mind longest flowering ones for pollinating. That's ironic.
I used to be my nickname, Southern Gentleman. All right,
that's it for the West Side. The Facebook pages is
(12:36):
rocket and Rolling. And did I send you pictures from
ron rothis this week? Yeah, New Zealand.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Use was he running? It was that a camel.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
It was on a camel, camel jockey doing a little
camel jockeying out there, and then he saw, oh you
guy to believe this?
Speaker 2 (12:50):
He was. He's now in New Zealand. All right, Yeah,
he's walking through this garden, botanical card hanging out with hobbits.
I don't know, but he's and he was got a
picture in the Mountain of Snowy. But he's walking through
this botanical garden next to their hotel.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Yeah, yeah, so yeah, my favorite pumpkins are the the
little pumpkins that you get that kind of look like
candy corn. Those are the best, okay, that you pop
in your mouth and actually, yes, all right, then it
takes like marshmallow. Remember, don't eat too much at the
(14:36):
pumpkin festival. Why because you have a nice dinner coming up. Yeah, yeah,
I mean we'll leave room for the great birthday dinner.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
We're talking yardening at eight hundred eight two three eight
two five five.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
I am Ron Wilson, your personal yard boy, and of
course you don't forget a website, Ron Wilson online dot com. Yeah,
and looking at our weather forecast for us here we
are in a dry spell right now, but we have showers.
That storm is hitting us. It's I guess severe weather
everywhere coming through and hitting us tonight and tomorrow. Talking
(22:30):
about some pretty heavy rains, lots of winds, and I
don't like the wind. But you know, the rain we
need badly, and I want to continue to push the
fact that we need that rain badly. And you know, again,
if this is an all night rain that we get
or an all day shower that we get, rain that
we get, that counts, that counts. If it's a blow
(22:53):
through shower, quick end, quick out, even if it's an
anch or two inches a rain, they don't count. I
put those down bonus waterings. But otherwise, you know, you
build on those. But the other ones, if they're an
all day soaker, all night soaker, absolutely outstanding, but so important.
Right now, I'm telling you Key, you know, we talk
about planting, you know, right plant, right place, obviously really important,
(23:17):
very important. Get the right plant to fit the right spot,
soil conditions, lighting conditions, exposures, things like that. Pick the
right tree, the right shrub, the right perennial, the right
evergreen for the right location. That's your first step of
success when it comes to planting trees, shrubs, evergreens, perennials,
(23:37):
whatever it may be. Proper planting procedures. Then following along
behind that, and depending on where you live, soil amendments,
obviously adding organic matter if you can that million dollar hole,
you know, et cetera, et cetera. Show me the root
flare when you're planting these plants, so the root flair
is at the top of the soil, not buried down
in the ground.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Deeper.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Only dig the hole as deep as you need to.
All of those practice is very very important, uh, to
get these trees and shrubs and perennials and all in
the ground and planted correctly, and then of course watering.
And I'm and whether you use a root stimulant or not.
And a lot of garden centers when you're buying plants
will show you a furlough and root stimulator, you know,
(24:18):
things like that that you can use water soluble to
help get a It's a light easy feeding. You could
dump the whole bottle on top of the plant, wouldn't
cause any problem. But it's a light water soluble easy
feed help get those roots started. Fertilizer that's great if
you use that, but if you don't, it's okay. The
key right now for this fall is then watering. And
(24:40):
I'm talking soaking that plant when you first water it,
when you're done, or when you're soaking the plant with
first water, yeah, but when you're soon as you're done
planting is really soaking that thing in. I'm talking so
that that hole you dug actually fills up with water,
soaks the root ball, fills up the hole with water,
soaks all the soil around it, and then so shoul
run out the top outstanding. Do it again tomorrow, back
(25:06):
to back soakings. This is really key. I'm not kidding,
really key, back to back soakings and then take it
from there. As far as your regular watering process of
I like to keep them kind of evenly moist for
the first couple of weeks, and then you back off
where you soak it, let it dry. Soak it, let
it dry. And as plants start to shut down going
(25:26):
into the fall season, leafy plants, deciduous plants, as they
lose their leaves, you know, good soaking. You can take
it a little bit longer in between waterings, but again,
timely waterings right up until the holidays. Evergreens, you gotta
stick with them. You gotta stick with them. Soak them dry,
soak them dry, soak them dry right up to the holidays.
And I'm telling you, you get into January and February,
(25:49):
if the temperature stay warmer, you don't get any rainfall
or snowfall, and it's dry. Remember they're still losing moisture
out of those needles and out of those leaves that
are still on the plant. So if they don't have
moisture in the ground to take it up, that's where
a lot of this winter burn comes from. So I
recommended in some cases, you know of taking five gallon
(26:11):
buckets and filling those up and on a day above freezing,
going out and dumping that right in the middle of
that root ball, down the middle of the plant and
into that root ball to make sure we've got moisture
down in the ground. So watering in the fall is
key for about anything that you do, whether it's grass seeding, fertilizing, planting, whatever,
and being successful with evergreens. And I can't stress it enough,
(26:34):
all right, I can't push it enough. And again, don't
let rain showers fool you. One last thing about this planting.
I had a couple of emails this week, and I
kind of take this for granted sometimes but that folks
just know. But a couple of emails this week saying,
you know, I know you've talked about and where I
bought the plants. They said something about loosening up the roots. Well,
I took the plant out of the container and it's
(26:58):
pretty solid with roots in there. I'm afraid that I'm
going to damage the plant by trying to loosen those
roots up. In many cases where annuals and perennials, a
lot of times you can do that with your hands
and your fingers just massage it. Next thing, you know,
you get those loose. Because we don't want those those
roots growing in a circle like they're growing inside that pot.
You want to take those loose. Otherwise I have taken
(27:19):
plants out of the ground and been on the ground
three or four or five years and still be growing
in a circle with the roots where they were in
that original container. So you've got to loosen that up.
It also opens it up for air to penetrate and
for water to penetrate. So many times when we think
we're doing a good watering job, if we didn't do
(27:40):
a good planting job loosening up those roots so that
the water can flow into that root ball. The plants
are nice and moist around the outside of the rootball,
but nothing penetrates into the immediate root ball. The container
that was around it would hold that, you know, bring
that moisture to the root ball and make it go
(28:01):
down through the root ball. Right, So once you took
that off, there's no more container. So now we got
to open up channels for that to flow back and forth.
So you've got to loosen that up. So don't be
too scared to get in there. And really dig in.
This is where your soil knife. You hear me talking
about soil knives, how important they are. It's a tool
(28:24):
that I think every gardener needs at whatever level you
are at. Soil knives really come in handy in a
situation like this where you can really get in there
and cut in a couple inches or so and open
that up. You gotta do it. If you don't, you're
not going to be successful with that plant. It's not
going to work. And especially the watering, it just rolls
to the outside does not penetrate the rootball. So don't
(28:46):
be too afraid to loosen it up. And if you're
not sure, at your local garden center, have them take
one out and show what show you what they would do,
and they'll slide it back in the pot. Take it home,
plant it. It'll already be loosened up for you. But
that is key. I can't dress how important that is
to loosen the roots of the plant. When I'm planting annuals,
I'll take them and tear that small pot of the
(29:07):
root ball in the bottom in half. A lot of
times I'll just pull it, pull it in half at
the bottom to open that up to get those roots,
so they start to get stimulated to go to the
outside and water penetrates that root ball. So from annuals
to perennials, to trees and shrubs to roses to evergreens.
If they're growing in a container and you've got you know,
you pull them out of there, and then you've got
that nice thicker root system. You gotta loosen that up
(29:30):
before you plant them, all right, Or you can set
them down in the hole and then start working around
the outer edge of it. And that's where a really
sharp square spade can help you. Or that's soil knife.
And if you're looking for Christmas presents for young gardeners,
new gardeners, older gardeners that doesn't have a soil knife,
get them a soil knife. Hurry Harry Curry's, Harry Curris,
(29:53):
Hory Corey's sometimes they're called also. I get mine from
AM Leonard. They're not a sponsor of our show, but
I like AM Leonard's products. Gardener's Edge I think is
their retail catalog. But that's the soil knife that I use,
And I'm telling you it's something that really can come
in handy for all the different things that you do.
Out there when it comes to gardening, but loosening those roots,
(30:16):
finding that root flare, proper planting besiegures, and then following
up with proper watering key, proper watering key, carrying that
through the fall season to getting the success from these
plants for next spring. And don't forget with evergreens, you're
kind of with them for a couple first couple of
years until they get themselves rooted in a little bit
better that they can get out there and grab some
(30:38):
of that moisture in the soil. And even even at
that point when it's dry, you need water evergreens. I
can't stress again how important that even moisture is throughout
the season. Before we take a break, Dick from dating,
Good morning, Good morning, How I am great. What's for breakfast?
Speaker 5 (30:58):
Well, let's see, I'll probably well I usually stop uh
oh uh. Sometimes I'll go over to uh McDonald's and
get the uh what is it? The breakfast sandwich is good? Yeah,
pretty good.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Get a hash brown with that.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
Yeah, I'll get a hash brown little coffee. Yeah. Oh
the coffee is good at McDonald's. Oh no, it's cheap too.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
I have a lot of friends up there Eddie and
Mary come over and see me, and then the whole
group calm and uh pam and we just have a
little gathering there. We either talked where, we talked football,
when we talk, you know, just about everything. You know.
It's kind of nice.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Good.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
Hey, I couldn't believe it. The Bengals look pretty good.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Were you screaming and yellow at that last veal?
Speaker 5 (31:51):
Goee?
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Man?
Speaker 5 (31:54):
I couldn't believe it. They just they were just red hot.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Those two old court backs put on a pretty nice show.
Speaker 5 (32:02):
Yes they did.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
I mean yes, they did. Two oldest quarterbacks in the league,
and they did a nice job. It was fun watching
them both.
Speaker 5 (32:10):
Oh yeah, yeah, it was just I was kind of
happy for him, you know, it was good. I heard
from a couple of my friends from Lowe's and I
got a call and they asked me if I wanted to,
you know, maybe work part time. How about that?
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Well, are you going to do it?
Speaker 5 (32:30):
No? No, I you know, I'm too busy, you know
what the other thing.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
You're having fun doing all the other stuff. No sense
going back to work.
Speaker 5 (32:40):
No, But I'll tell you what, I'd love that place.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
You know.
Speaker 5 (32:43):
I knew a lot of people there and they came
to see me and it just you just get different ideas.
And I did hear from my my cousin Carla. Yes,
and GE's been doing.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
You know what it means?
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Sure going to Uncle John's up in Olmsteed Falls. Yeah, yeah, Yeah,

Speaker 1 (35:11):
We're talking yardening at eight hundred eight two three eight
two five five. Don't forget our website run Wilson online
dot com and the Facebook page. In the garden with
Ron Wilson. Our plant of the week winterberry, great plant
that's a deciduous holly loses the leaves, big bulky plant.
Some there's some smaller varieties available today, some yellow berries
(35:31):
as well, but mostly all the red varieties. They're male
and females. You have to have a male and then
all the females. Somebody again a great email question said,
you know, when we're doing things like this where we
need a male and then you know, the to pollinate
the females, you know, how many males per female and
how close does the male have to be to the
female so you get good pollination And you know, it's
(35:55):
a great question. It depends on the plant but a
one to maybe five show usually can work fairly well,
and it's nice to keep them within, you know, as
close as you can. Actually, if you're having the same
planting as outstanding, you know, it's it's the bees and
the pollinators that have to carry it. So the further
away the male is from the females, the bigger chance
(36:17):
you're going to have of them not getting properly pollinated
or fully pollinated for the berries on the females. So
you know, fifty feet thirty feet, the closer you can get,
you know, the great and when you're doing mass plantings
like you would with like these winter berries, which that's
where they really put on a show. If you've got
a screen of planting or you know, something like that,
(36:38):
or a border planting, or you can plant three or
four of the five of the females and one male
in with them. Kind of tuck him into the back
somewhere because you know he's not going to have any berries,
so he's just there to pollinate. Good looking plant, but
he's just there to pollinate. Then you've got the berries
of the females out front. They're all right there together,
easy for the bees and the pollinators to take care
(36:59):
of the situation, and then you're good to go. But again,
a bees flying distance would be a general answer for you,
or pollinator flying distance, but the closer the better. About
one to five something like that is a great ratio
in a situation like that. But check out the winter berries.
I think it's another one of those deciduous plants that's
way underused in our landscapes, and beautiful berries in the fall,
(37:23):
and you can use those for decorations for the holidays,
and the birds will lead them off that After the holidays,
they typically leave those particular berries alone for some reason,
like hawthorns. They leave those berries alone and eat them
a little bit later into the season. So I don't
know if they like them weathered a little bit or
whatever it may be. But they have a tendency to
stay on the plant a little longer in the season.
(37:44):
Big berries, bright colors, but eleaks Verta solata or verticleta
or deciduous hollies, and I think you really like them. Again,
just a good look at shrub, but good and mass
plantings and things like that. To Ohio we go.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
Matt, good morning, Good morning. How are you man?
Speaker 1 (38:05):
I'm doing great? How about yourself?
Speaker 6 (38:08):
Hey, So I bought one of those planners two years
ago and I planted some hands and chicks in it.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
You know.
Speaker 6 (38:15):
It's one of those planners that has the holes in
the side and the top open.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
Yeah, okay, old strawberry crocks.
Speaker 6 (38:24):
Okay, Well, the the plant at the top of the
has two sprouts coming out, and I can transplant them
either the sprout or go down to the root and
(38:46):
pull it out, not transplant separated. That's what I meant
to say.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
So you've got see them succulents that are growing in
those that's what that is.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
The plant. Yeah, okay, yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
As a matter of fact, right now at the Wilson household,
my wife has oh probably three or four of those
with different succulents in them, and they're originally these were
strawberry crocks and that's how they grew strawberries. And containers
were strawberry crocks, and so they put strawberries in those
holes and then the strawberries would fine out over the
top and cover over the pot and get strawberries. And
(39:20):
it's pretty cool. But now, of course we use them
for all kinds of things, especially the succulents. And she's
got the same way several of them that have started
to come out separate, you know, grown babies send them
out off the side. So she is in a process
at this stage of collecting all of those. And as
long as you've got a small stem on the bottom
of that, you don't have to grab all the roots
(39:41):
of small stem that you can stick in soil or
in water, they'll root from that. As a matter of fact,
I've taken some of those seedams and succulents and where
they just broke off and put them right on top
of the soil and kind of you know, just kind
of nestle them in and use a toothpick or something
to attach to kind of hold them in, and they'll
root right into that. So they're very easy to do,
(40:03):
so doing and doing it this time of the year
and bringing them inside is a great thing to do.
So if you can get roots with it, great, But
if you don't, you've got a little bit of a
stem that you can stick in the water or stick
in the soil. Great, and they transplant nicely and they
make great house plants as well.
Speaker 6 (40:21):
Yeah, okay, yeah, I didn't even think about sticking them
in water.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
I just yeah, okay, take it small like a shot glass.
Shot glasses are really good for that, and just set
them right on the top of that and have that
little stem in there. Next thing you know, you get
little roots developing. Then you put them in the soil
and you're good to go.
Speaker 6 (40:37):
Awesome, thank you.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
All right, Matt, good talking. We did good luck with everything.
And that's what we are going through at the Wilson
household right now. Missus Wilson this year has just exploded
into container gardening, all kinds of succulents. That's what she's
into now. And I can't think of the term, but
she's now doing the where you make the root ball
out of soil and then you put street and twined
(41:00):
around it and so it's an all natural you know,
there's not in a pot, it's all by itself. And
there's a oh my gosh, I can't think I'm drawing
a blank. But anyway, she's doing some of that. But
what's really fun is that many years ago we were
in the Amish country up in northeastern Ohio and we
were at a small store that all kinds of stuff
in it. But anyway, the lady that was there was
(41:22):
a gardener, and she had taken all kinds of small
glass vases and tubes chemistry tubes in that and it
really creatively put them on things, wire things and hung
them on the walls or hanging from the ceiling. And
in those it was in the fall. She had taken
cuttings from her annual plantings and had stuck them in
(41:43):
there as far as the flowers, and two of them
that were outstanding, and that's I remember talking about this
way back then, and now we're doing it at our
house were Colius, which is my favorite annual, and the
ornamental sweet Potatovin. And you take cuttings from those, stick
them then make a great vase of assorted colors. We've
got vases of Colius all around our house right now
(42:05):
been given away as gifts. But sweet potato vine the
same way, and you stick them in that water, they
start to root, they start to grow, and they'll actually
grow in the water, kind of hang in there for
you over the wintertime and give you a great color indoors.
So as you're taking and cutting back your annuals and things,
keep that in mind. If they've got nice foliage, especially
colius and ornamental sweet potato vine, did do that in
(42:26):
a water like that in the house makes a really
nice show, nice gift as well. By the way, if
you find those ornamental sweet potatoes when you're digging those up,
they are edible, very bland, but very edible. Coming up next,
we're gonna talk to Neil Bevla Bell Beva lock Up,
and we're also gonna talk to the folks from power
Planter here in the garden with Ron Wilson.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
Help.
Speaker 4 (42:49):
So let's do it yourself gardener at one eight hundred
eighty two three Talk You're in the garden with Ron Wilson,
Sat
Eight hundred eight two three eight two five five.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I am Ron Wilson, your personally yard boy talking about yarding.
Let's kick off our show with the cup of Joe,
mister Joe Strucker, executive producer. We're not going to find
out what's going on his landscape because it's usually nothing exactly,
but we'll find out what's going on our website at
Ron Wilson online dot com, Facebook page in the Garden
with Ron Wilson as Welcome morning, sir.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Little chili this week Chile today, hot to moy. Yeah,
and we're going to get some good rain tomorrow. I
hope so. Well tonight and tomorrow tonight tomorrow, I hope so.
And then the cold is supposed to come in.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Would you see the storms on the East Coast, Yeah,
they got holy not a pretty sight.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Glad it went to Florida. When I went, oh my gosh,
did it hit Florida too? I don't think so. I mean,
because it's more up to the northeast coast. They got
they got Jersey, they got weather, but they.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Didn't get like that nasty weather. Both coasts were getting
hit the same time. Yeah, And I didn't know anything
about the thing in Alaska?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
How did you not know that?
Speaker 1 (01:40):
You know that until I saw the well, I mean
I didn't know that there was like some storm brewing
I didn't know or whatever that was going to hit.
And then all of a sudden, it's like Alaska's wiped
off the map or something. I didn't know either, So
and it's like, well, where did that come from? So anyway,
that looked pretty nasty too. Yeah, so are you getting
(02:01):
darn weather? Are you getting ready for Halloweens?
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Ah?
Speaker 1 (02:06):
No, no, no, not decorated anything. We haven't yet. But
my wife said that she wants to dig out all
the Halloween stuff that we have and put it up

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Wait a minute, for once, So she wants to dig
out all the Halloween stuff. She wants you to dig
out all the Halloween stuff and you put it put
it up. Okay, that's just one.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Then then we're going to clear out well we don't want,
well she doesn't want, and donate the rest.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
That's so we clarify.

We have two guests today, Yes, Greg knee Wold. Greg
has been on our show many times, well two or
three times at least. He is the inventor of power planters,
the heavy duty Augurs and of course they've he's just
blown up, expanded and then all that they have mixed
gardening so much easier. Uh, just put those power planters
on there and just drill the holes, drill it all
(05:33):
and then we're gonna have Neil Bevla bevla aqua. And
Neil's been on with this a couple of times as well.
Irish guy.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
He's the inventor or the Earthlifter tool, which is a
really cool tool, and this thing has exploded as well.
But we're gonna talk about growing garlic. This guy is
it's just mister Garlic, mister Garland.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Does he have a shirt that says mister Garland.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
I think he probably does have multiple shirts to say
mister Garland. Everything's garlic. He grows eighteen different types of garlic.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Does he have a website? Yes he does. Maybe is
it mister garlic dot com?
Speaker 1 (06:05):
No, but it should be. So we're going to talk
about two things, which garlic should you be planting? Of
course now's a good time to plant, and how to
play garlic. And then we're going to talk about which
garlic should be the spaghetti carbonoglee. Why why is garlic?
So you know, why are we eating more garlic? Why
is garlic So, I mean, it's like, right the high
at the top of the list of things that are
good for you to eat. And he's gonna talk a
(06:26):
little bit about that as well. This guy knows his garlic.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I know my mom, she really likes garlic, and I
don't think I don't know if she does it much anymore,
but I still remember when I was a kid, she
would just have bread and clothes of garlic on top
of the bread, right, and just eat it like a sandwich. Yep.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
We had a pizza a couple of weeks ago with
Megans and it had slices of the clothes on the
pizza and it wasn't too overbearing, but it was good.
It was a nice, good tasting and yeah, it was
very tasty. You always knew when Mamma had her garlic sandwiches,
but they knew that she knew for a reason. Not
only do they like the flavor, but she knew that
was good for you.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Well. She's also was born in Romania, so she's keep
waiting up to the vampires. Yes, we're not talking about
wearing it around your neck. Well, anyway, I love you, mom.
She's of course not as is she wear that at Halloween.
(07:27):
She wears it all the time, all the time. Yeah, okay,
all the time. So cool. But yeah, those are two
guests for today. You and mister Garlic and and mister
Sullivan and of course Buggy Joe and yeah, Buggy Joe.
I mean, what's going he is, like, he's totally slacking.
Usually around this time we have, like, even though it's
(07:47):
it's kind of wearing mid October, even though it's wearing down,
we usually get at least three or four things. He
only sent two things this week. I don't know what
to tell you. I don't know what to tell you.
He's slacking down. I must be that Buggy text me.
That's him right there, man. So maybe sending another is
his favorite, his his very favorite bug The ant lions.
(08:10):
Oh yeah, he loves and uh. I used to have
a ton of ant lions in one of my planting
beds and then I started putting stuff in there and
they're not there anymore.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Because it's not dry, right, dry soil. Yeah, so but
those things are cool.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
And beach blight, yes, the beach blight a feed that
kind of looks like, yeah, it kind of looks like
if you have I don't know if you're if your
tree's got dandruff.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Cotton cotton growing on the stems, but when you walk
up to him, they dance and do a little jig for.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah, got video of that bill Yeah. As a matter
of fact, As a matter of fact, about three weeks ago,
we actually had one of our listeners send me a
video of these things that they saw on their beach tree.
And they walked up and it was a video, and
it walked up to it. They all started going back
and forth. So I said it to Jo because that's
the why they called a boogie woogie beechaf and as
(09:07):
they do the boogie woogie. So he was impressed with
the videos.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yes, I was just making a drug apparently a surprise
surprise exactly. Uh. This week, Rita's recipe of the week
is a rugas try it again rug salad. I love
aug I'm okay for now. Yeah, I mean I kind
(09:32):
of like all those except kale. Yeah, I do not
like kale. But a arugula's got that peppery yeah taste
to it, very distinct. And then of course you got
a arugula with sobby and has the horse radish flavored
every last horse radish. There you go. So she's got
a salad this week with made with a arugula and pears.
(09:52):
And she said, and she claims she picked these pears
from her neighbor's tree.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Probably in the darkness of night. What did she come
in with so the neighbors didn't know that she picked them.
What wasn's she coming in with her potions?
Speaker 2 (10:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
She's on the show next Saturday, tell us about the
warm up for the for Halloween. So I don't know,
Maybe she'll bring them in.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
M acquiring mindes want to know.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Really, So once you give her your dress and then
maybe when she's out flying on the Halloween night she
could drop just to kind of drop those off of
your house. Yeah. Yeah, So then you wake up in
the morning and there's a bag on the first of
all bags hopefully some lemonchello.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Yes. The plant of the week is the winterbery. What winterbury?
Why would you want to giberry? Well, isn't that the
holly that they you put in those porch pots.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Yeah, you'll see them in the porch pots. But now
the leaves are starting to fall off plants, you'll start
to see these nice big shrubs that have these huge
red berries on them, and I mean they're brilliant, and
the birds don't eat until later in the year, so
they stay on there for a while and they use
them a lot at Christmas time in your holiday porch spots.
But it's a nice big shrub for like screening and
(11:14):
in your mass plantings and things like that. But it's
a holly that loses the lease. So it's a deciduous holly,
and it's male and female, dislike the evergreen hollies. But
the berries are phenomenal, as you can see with the
picture there. So yes, So that's my plan of the
week this week. And there are many different ones to
choose from as well, so even some that have yellow berries.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Does the does the garden fairy have those? Me personally
or the garden Fairy? Yes? Would you like some? Well,
because because I told you I was clearing out that front,
I needed something you don't want that there?
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Why we need a male and female to get the berries.
Oh okay, so you'd have to have a place to
plant the male. Also, he doesn't get beeres, he just
takes care of pollinating for the berries. She'd have to
plant him somewhere close by. So see, when you do
a mass planning, you work in the one male and
then you get four or five females planning mass planting.
(12:14):
He kind of gets hidden in there. Get that one
he got, that one doesn't flower, and all the rest
of them do. Gotcha, Okay, Southern Gentleman is one of
the never mind longest flowering ones for pollinating. That's ironic.
I used to be my nickname, Southern Gentleman. All right,
that's it for the West Side. The Facebook pages is
(12:36):
rocket and Rolling. And did I send you pictures from
ron rothis this week? Yeah, New Zealand.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Use was he running? It was that a camel.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
It was on a camel, camel jockey doing a little
camel jockeying out there, and then he saw, oh you
guy to believe this?
Speaker 2 (12:50):
He was. He's now in New Zealand. All right, Yeah,
he's walking through this garden, botanical card hanging out with hobbits.
I don't know, but he's and he was got a
picture in the Mountain of Snowy. But he's walking through
this botanical garden next to their hotel.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Guess who he sees in New Zealand.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Gary Bachman in.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
No in the garden, Tim Back?
Speaker 2 (13:14):

Speaker 3 (13:15):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (13:17):
He said?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
He sent me a picture him and Tim's to each other.
He said, I walking through this garden and I look
up and it's Tim Back from back Tree Service.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Holy cow? What's he doing in New Zealand doing the
same thing where I was doing?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Riding camels? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:34):
I would be in camel jockeys or whatever. I don't know,
but yeah, okay, what a small It just the world
gets smaller and smaller all the time.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Alrighty, all right, gotta go home and get ready to
a pumpkins? Do you like pumpkin? Do I like pumpkin?
The flavor? Pump flavor? It's okay, But I mean you're
not like the pumpkin spice coffee. No, no, okay, no,
not all pumpkin pie. I'm not really a big pumpkin
(14:03):
pie guy either. Well then, what do you what do
you like about pumpkin? I just go to the pumpkin
fest because it's cool to Okay, to the festival, right
and see all the other stuff that goes on.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
But you'll try things that are pumpkin flavored.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Yeah, yeah, so yeah, my favorite pumpkins are the the
little pumpkins that you get that kind of look like
candy corn. Those are the best, okay, that you pop
in your mouth and actually, yes, all right, then it
takes like marshmallow. Remember, don't eat too much at the
(14:36):
pumpkin festival. Why because you have a nice dinner coming up. Yeah, yeah,
I mean we'll leave room for the great birthday dinner.
There's there's at least one funnel cake will probably be
eating and well, and probably one of those really big
lemonades that they hand squeeze. That's good too. Yeah, watch
out for the yellow jackets, they're still out there. We'll
(14:58):
do that and I'll bring some uh maybe some Tito's
and put it in the lemonade. Great funnel very last
funnel cake. Yeah, I love funnel Who doesn't like funnel
ca And you have to get it a powdered sugar
so you can get it all over your show. Oh
my gosh, it has all over your shirt, your face,
done on your shoes. Yeah. Absolutely, that's part of the
(15:20):

Speaker 1 (22:04):
We're talking yardening at eight hundred eight two three eight
two five five.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
I am Ron Wilson, your personal yard boy, and of
course you don't forget a website, Ron Wilson online dot com. Yeah,
and looking at our weather forecast for us here we
are in a dry spell right now, but we have showers.
That storm is hitting us. It's I guess severe weather
everywhere coming through and hitting us tonight and tomorrow. Talking
(22:30):
about some pretty heavy rains, lots of winds, and I
don't like the wind. But you know, the rain we
need badly, and I want to continue to push the
fact that we need that rain badly. And you know, again,
if this is an all night rain that we get
or an all day shower that we get, rain that
we get, that counts, that counts. If it's a blow
(22:53):
through shower, quick end, quick out, even if it's an
anch or two inches a rain, they don't count. I
put those down bonus waterings. But otherwise, you know, you
build on those. But the other ones, if they're an
all day soaker, all night soaker, absolutely outstanding, but so important.
Right now, I'm telling you Key, you know, we talk
about planting, you know, right plant, right place, obviously really important,
(23:17):
very important. Get the right plant to fit the right spot,
soil conditions, lighting conditions, exposures, things like that. Pick the
right tree, the right shrub, the right perennial, the right
evergreen for the right location. That's your first step of
success when it comes to planting trees, shrubs, evergreens, perennials,
(23:37):
whatever it may be. Proper planting procedures. Then following along
behind that, and depending on where you live, soil amendments,
obviously adding organic matter if you can that million dollar hole,
you know, et cetera, et cetera. Show me the root
flare when you're planting these plants, so the root flair
is at the top of the soil, not buried down
in the ground.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Deeper.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Only dig the hole as deep as you need to.
All of those practice is very very important, uh, to
get these trees and shrubs and perennials and all in
the ground and planted correctly, and then of course watering.
And I'm and whether you use a root stimulant or not.
And a lot of garden centers when you're buying plants
will show you a furlough and root stimulator, you know,
(24:18):
things like that that you can use water soluble to
help get a It's a light easy feeding. You could
dump the whole bottle on top of the plant, wouldn't
cause any problem. But it's a light water soluble easy
feed help get those roots started. Fertilizer that's great if
you use that, but if you don't, it's okay. The
key right now for this fall is then watering. And
(24:40):
I'm talking soaking that plant when you first water it,
when you're done, or when you're soaking the plant with
first water, yeah, but when you're soon as you're done
planting is really soaking that thing in. I'm talking so
that that hole you dug actually fills up with water,
soaks the root ball, fills up the hole with water,
soaks all the soil around it, and then so shoul
run out the top outstanding. Do it again tomorrow, back
(25:06):
to back soakings. This is really key. I'm not kidding,
really key, back to back soakings and then take it
from there. As far as your regular watering process of
I like to keep them kind of evenly moist for
the first couple of weeks, and then you back off
where you soak it, let it dry. Soak it, let
it dry. And as plants start to shut down going
(25:26):
into the fall season, leafy plants, deciduous plants, as they
lose their leaves, you know, good soaking. You can take
it a little bit longer in between waterings, but again,
timely waterings right up until the holidays. Evergreens, you gotta
stick with them. You gotta stick with them. Soak them dry,
soak them dry, soak them dry right up to the holidays.
And I'm telling you, you get into January and February,
(25:49):
if the temperature stay warmer, you don't get any rainfall
or snowfall, and it's dry. Remember they're still losing moisture
out of those needles and out of those leaves that
are still on the plant. So if they don't have
moisture in the ground to take it up, that's where
a lot of this winter burn comes from. So I
recommended in some cases, you know of taking five gallon
(26:11):
buckets and filling those up and on a day above freezing,
going out and dumping that right in the middle of
that root ball, down the middle of the plant and
into that root ball to make sure we've got moisture
down in the ground. So watering in the fall is
key for about anything that you do, whether it's grass seeding, fertilizing, planting, whatever,
and being successful with evergreens. And I can't stress it enough,
(26:34):
all right, I can't push it enough. And again, don't
let rain showers fool you. One last thing about this planting.
I had a couple of emails this week, and I
kind of take this for granted sometimes but that folks
just know. But a couple of emails this week saying,
you know, I know you've talked about and where I
bought the plants. They said something about loosening up the roots. Well,
I took the plant out of the container and it's
(26:58):
pretty solid with roots in there. I'm afraid that I'm
going to damage the plant by trying to loosen those
roots up. In many cases where annuals and perennials, a
lot of times you can do that with your hands
and your fingers just massage it. Next thing, you know,
you get those loose. Because we don't want those those
roots growing in a circle like they're growing inside that pot.
You want to take those loose. Otherwise I have taken
(27:19):
plants out of the ground and been on the ground
three or four or five years and still be growing
in a circle with the roots where they were in
that original container. So you've got to loosen that up.
It also opens it up for air to penetrate and
for water to penetrate. So many times when we think
we're doing a good watering job, if we didn't do
(27:40):
a good planting job loosening up those roots so that
the water can flow into that root ball. The plants
are nice and moist around the outside of the rootball,
but nothing penetrates into the immediate root ball. The container
that was around it would hold that, you know, bring
that moisture to the root ball and make it go
(28:01):
down through the root ball. Right, So once you took
that off, there's no more container. So now we got
to open up channels for that to flow back and forth.
So you've got to loosen that up. So don't be
too scared to get in there. And really dig in.
This is where your soil knife. You hear me talking
about soil knives, how important they are. It's a tool
(28:24):
that I think every gardener needs at whatever level you
are at. Soil knives really come in handy in a
situation like this where you can really get in there
and cut in a couple inches or so and open
that up. You gotta do it. If you don't, you're
not going to be successful with that plant. It's not
going to work. And especially the watering, it just rolls
to the outside does not penetrate the rootball. So don't
(28:46):
be too afraid to loosen it up. And if you're
not sure, at your local garden center, have them take
one out and show what show you what they would do,
and they'll slide it back in the pot. Take it home,
plant it. It'll already be loosened up for you. But
that is key. I can't dress how important that is
to loosen the roots of the plant. When I'm planting annuals,
I'll take them and tear that small pot of the
(29:07):
root ball in the bottom in half. A lot of
times I'll just pull it, pull it in half at
the bottom to open that up to get those roots,
so they start to get stimulated to go to the
outside and water penetrates that root ball. So from annuals
to perennials, to trees and shrubs to roses to evergreens.
If they're growing in a container and you've got you know,
you pull them out of there, and then you've got
that nice thicker root system. You gotta loosen that up
(29:30):
before you plant them, all right, Or you can set
them down in the hole and then start working around
the outer edge of it. And that's where a really
sharp square spade can help you. Or that's soil knife.
And if you're looking for Christmas presents for young gardeners,
new gardeners, older gardeners that doesn't have a soil knife,
get them a soil knife. Hurry Harry Curry's, Harry Curris,
(29:53):
Hory Corey's sometimes they're called also. I get mine from
AM Leonard. They're not a sponsor of our show, but
I like AM Leonard's products. Gardener's Edge I think is
their retail catalog. But that's the soil knife that I use,
And I'm telling you it's something that really can come
in handy for all the different things that you do.
Out there when it comes to gardening, but loosening those roots,
(30:16):
finding that root flare, proper planting besiegures, and then following
up with proper watering key, proper watering key, carrying that
through the fall season to getting the success from these
plants for next spring. And don't forget with evergreens, you're
kind of with them for a couple first couple of
years until they get themselves rooted in a little bit
better that they can get out there and grab some
(30:38):
of that moisture in the soil. And even even at
that point when it's dry, you need water evergreens. I
can't stress again how important that even moisture is throughout
the season. Before we take a break, Dick from dating,
Good morning, Good morning, How I am great. What's for breakfast?
Speaker 5 (30:58):
Well, let's see, I'll probably well I usually stop uh

Speaker 1 (35:11):
We're talking yardening at eight hundred eight two three eight
two five five. Don't forget our website run Wilson online
dot com and the Facebook page. In the garden with
Ron Wilson. Our plant of the week winterberry, great plant
that's a deciduous holly loses the leaves, big bulky plant.
Some there's some smaller varieties available today, some yellow berries
(35:31):
as well, but mostly all the red varieties. They're male
and females. You have to have a male and then
all the females. Somebody again a great email question said,
you know, when we're doing things like this where we
need a male and then you know, the to pollinate
the females, you know, how many males per female and
how close does the male have to be to the
female so you get good pollination And you know, it's
(35:55):
a great question. It depends on the plant but a
one to maybe five show usually can work fairly well,
and it's nice to keep them within, you know, as
close as you can. Actually, if you're having the same
planting as outstanding, you know, it's it's the bees and
the pollinators that have to carry it. So the further
away the male is from the females, the bigger chance
(36:17):
you're going to have of them not getting properly pollinated
or fully pollinated for the berries on the females. So
you know, fifty feet thirty feet, the closer you can get,
you know, the great and when you're doing mass plantings
like you would with like these winter berries, which that's
where they really put on a show. If you've got
a screen of planting or you know, something like that,
(36:38):
or a border planting, or you can plant three or
four of the five of the females and one male
in with them. Kind of tuck him into the back
somewhere because you know he's not going to have any berries,
so he's just there to pollinate. Good looking plant, but
he's just there to pollinate. Then you've got the berries
of the females out front. They're all right there together,
easy for the bees and the pollinators to take care
(36:59):
of the situation, and then you're good to go. But again,
a bees flying distance would be a general answer for you,
or pollinator flying distance, but the closer the better. About
one to five something like that is a great ratio
in a situation like that. But check out the winter berries.
I think it's another one of those deciduous plants that's
way underused in our landscapes, and beautiful berries in the fall,
(37:23):
and you can use those for decorations for the holidays,
and the birds will lead them off that After the holidays,
they typically leave those particular berries alone for some reason,
like hawthorns. They leave those berries alone and eat them
a little bit later into the season. So I don't
know if they like them weathered a little bit or
whatever it may be. But they have a tendency to
stay on the plant a little longer in the season.
(37:44):
Big berries, bright colors, but eleaks Verta solata or verticleta
or deciduous hollies, and I think you really like them. Again,
just a good look at shrub, but good and mass
plantings and things like that. To Ohio we go.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
Matt, good morning, Good morning. How are you man?
Speaker 1 (38:05):
I'm doing great? How about yourself?
Speaker 6 (38:08):
Hey, So I bought one of those planners two years
ago and I planted some hands and chicks in it.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
You know.
Speaker 6 (38:15):
It's one of those planners that has the holes in
the side and the top open.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
Yeah, okay, old strawberry crocks.
Speaker 6 (38:24):
Okay, Well, the the plant at the top of the
has two sprouts coming out, and I can transplant them
either the sprout or go down to the root and
(38:46):
pull it out, not transplant separated. That's what I meant
to say.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
So you've got see them succulents that are growing in
those that's what that is.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
The plant. Yeah, okay, yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
As a matter of fact, right now at the Wilson household,
my wife has oh probably three or four of those
with different succulents in them, and they're originally these were
strawberry crocks and that's how they grew strawberries. And containers
were strawberry crocks, and so they put strawberries in those
holes and then the strawberries would fine out over the
top and cover over the pot and get strawberries. And
(39:20):
it's pretty cool. But now, of course we use them
for all kinds of things, especially the succulents. And she's
got the same way several of them that have started
to come out separate, you know, grown babies send them
out off the side. So she is in a process
at this stage of collecting all of those. And as
long as you've got a small stem on the bottom
of that, you don't have to grab all the roots
(39:41):
of small stem that you can stick in soil or
in water, they'll root from that. As a matter of fact,
I've taken some of those seedams and succulents and where
they just broke off and put them right on top
of the soil and kind of you know, just kind
of nestle them in and use a toothpick or something
to attach to kind of hold them in, and they'll
root right into that. So they're very easy to do,
(40:03):
so doing and doing it this time of the year
and bringing them inside is a great thing to do.
So if you can get roots with it, great, But
if you don't, you've got a little bit of a
stem that you can stick in the water or stick
in the soil. Great, and they transplant nicely and they
make great house plants as well.
Speaker 6 (40:21):
Yeah, okay, yeah, I didn't even think about sticking them
in water.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
I just yeah, okay, take it small like a shot glass.
Shot glasses are really good for that, and just set
them right on the top of that and have that
little stem in there. Next thing you know, you get
little roots developing. Then you put them in the soil
and you're good to go.
Speaker 6 (40:37):
Awesome, thank you.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
All right, Matt, good talking. We did good luck with everything.
And that's what we are going through at the Wilson
household right now. Missus Wilson this year has just exploded
into container gardening, all kinds of succulents. That's what she's
into now. And I can't think of the term, but
she's now doing the where you make the root ball
out of soil and then you put street and twined
(41:00):
around it and so it's an all natural you know,
there's not in a pot, it's all by itself. And
there's a oh my gosh, I can't think I'm drawing
a blank. But anyway, she's doing some of that. But
what's really fun is that many years ago we were
in the Amish country up in northeastern Ohio and we
were at a small store that all kinds of stuff
in it. But anyway, the lady that was there was
(41:22):
a gardener, and she had taken all kinds of small
glass vases and tubes chemistry tubes in that and it
really creatively put them on things, wire things and hung
them on the walls or hanging from the ceiling. And
in those it was in the fall. She had taken
cuttings from her annual plantings and had stuck them in
(41:43):
there as far as the flowers, and two of them
that were outstanding, and that's I remember talking about this
way back then, and now we're doing it at our
house were Colius, which is my favorite annual, and the
ornamental sweet Potatovin. And you take cuttings from those, stick
them then make a great vase of assorted colors. We've
got vases of Colius all around our house right now
(42:05):
been given away as gifts. But sweet potato vine the
same way, and you stick them in that water, they
start to root, they start to grow, and they'll actually
grow in the water, kind of hang in there for
you over the wintertime and give you a great color indoors.
So as you're taking and cutting back your annuals and things,
keep that in mind. If they've got nice foliage, especially
colius and ornamental sweet potato vine, did do that in
(42:26):
a water like that in the house makes a really
nice show, nice gift as well. By the way, if
you find those ornamental sweet potatoes when you're digging those up,
they are edible, very bland, but very edible. Coming up next,
we're gonna talk to Neil Bevla Bell Beva lock Up,
and we're also gonna talk to the folks from power
