Speaker 1 (00:36):
That toll free number here in the garden is eight
hundred eight two three eight two five five. Good morning.
I am Ron Wilson, your personal yard boy, talking about
yarding Danny Night during the break talking about the ending
of the daylight saving time. And you know they have
the benefits and the pluses and the minuses and all
the things that can happen. You know what, Quit chain
here's my theory, and dance with me on this one.
(00:56):
I am. It's very rare that dance. Ever. I am
question mark that he ever agrees with me on anything.
But quit changing it. Just leave it at one or
the other. And if you're gonna leave it at one,
leave it at the normal time. As far as I'm concerned.
What we're going to tonight, that's my favorite. Just take
it to that. Dan even said the only time I'm
(01:17):
grumpy is when we have to spring forward in the
spring time. That's particular Sunday, I'm grumpy as can be
for a week or so. Yeah, and Gary takes the
brunt of it and then yeah, here Sunday morning. That's
right because he has come in on Sunday morning and
do a show. So I say, when daylight saving time
is done, which is Sunday morning at two o'clock. Just
leave it alone and let's stay with that regular time.
(01:40):
That's me, that's my opinion. I like it, and I'm
sticking to it. Always have always said that. You know that,
and it'll never change until they finally just drop it
and it'll probably go to daylight saving time forever and
not the what I like. But that's the way it goes.
But anyway, don't forget tonight is when you turn the
clocks back, you get the fall get an extra hour tomorrow,
(02:01):
so you get to fall back, and things will change
a little bit. It's going to get darker a little
bit earlier in the evening. I doubt about it, but
you know what, the sun comes up a little earlier
in the morning. So there you go, get up in
the morning and enjoy the extra hour in the morning.
It's pretty simple. And you said, no, it's not because
I don't like getting up early. Well I do. Well,
(02:23):
I do too for my job and just in general
I do. I always been that way. I'm not a
late sleeper. I have to get up early. I love
I love watching the sun come up if it's already
up when I wake up and it's out. I feel
like I've wasted the day. And then maybe I got
that from my parents. I don't know my grandparents too,
but that's the way I am anyway. But don't forget
tonight you ten o'clock's back at two am. Now, who's
(02:45):
going to get up a two am and do that? Well,
not me, So you're gonna do it before you go
to bed. But don't forget.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
A lot of us have our cell phones now, and
it just doesn't itself.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Does it for you? Some things do it for you,
some things don't. Just double check to make sure for
those things that do not. Turn it back. Yes, sir,
what happened. But you know, everything's going on in the yard,
and garden continues right on, whether it's daylight saving time
or your normal time. So everything is going to keep
right on going. And we are in the fall season.
We're right in the middle of the fall season, and
(03:14):
you still have plenty of time to plant. Maybe a
little dry out there, but you're gonna have to water.
But otherwise, you know, we still got plenty of time
to get those trees planted, get some evergreens in the ground,
get that screens established. You know, in in the ground,
mulched in ready to go watered in, so that next
spring you can sit back and watch it start to
grow and enjoy those without having to do it in
(03:35):
the springtime. There's usually better planting time, and it's more
extended time in the fall than there is in the spring.
You never know what spring's gonna bring. You know, it's
falls a lot more, I think, more consistent when it
comes to the weather. Spring you get you know, it's cold,
it's wet, snow and it's whatever's going to do. It's sunny,
it's dry, back to rain. You never know. Next thing
you know, you're in a June and it's all over
(03:57):
and you didn't get everything planted. So you know, take
advantage of the all season. More roocher developed this time
of the year than any other time the rest of
the year. And like I said, the watering, well you
would have had to do that. You do that anyway
with newly planted trees and shrubs, and make sure you're
watering the existing ones as well if you are experiencing
the dry weather that we are experiencing here as well.
(04:19):
Looking at the lawns right now, cool season lawns a
lot of lawns still looking pretty good. That the last
big good rainfall we had kind of pulled a lot
of lawns out. I see a lot of lawns that
have a lot of thin areas, bear areas in them. Folks,
you know, putting off putting down new seed because of
the way the weather's been. If that's you, that's quite
(04:40):
all right. It's not an issue. But what I would do,
what I would suggest if you've still got halfway decent lawn,
you've got some bear areas you're gonna have to take
care of if you didn't feed the lawn at all
this fall, I'd at least get one feeding down, and
you could do that anytime right now. Furlong's lawn food
plus iron, something of that sort of lawn food. Go
(05:03):
ahead and put that down now, and do that as
your last You know, you could do it just one time.
We just do it one time. Do that as your
last feeding if you'd like, and at least do that
for the existing law and it's there, all right. And
then if you think you need to do some seating
because you've got a few bear areas here and there,
what I'd like for you to do is over the
next week or two, get out there with a leaf
(05:25):
rake and rake those areas out so that you clean
out any of the dead grass or dead debris that's
laying there, so that when we get into either December,
late December, or I like to wait until mid to
late February, you can do your dormant seating. At that time.
You can go into those areas and do the dormant
seating in those bare areas. But you raked all the
(05:45):
debris out and you got it ready to go, so
you know that's something you could do right now and
then have the seed on hand, So get out to
your local independent garden center and get the seed that
you need for dormant seating. And so what dormant seating
does of that is it works it into the soil.
The seed's in place, it's ready to go. As soon
as the weather breaks soil and air air temperatures become
(06:08):
just right in the springtime, that seed's ready to bust, germination,
start to grow, root in and do the best that
it can before we get into the summer season, which
doesn't take very long in the spring. So you know
that's fall seating, the best time for cool season grasses.
Dormant seeding the second best time, spring seeding the third,
(06:31):
and summer seating the worst. And that's the way it works.
So and again, if you put down seed during the
winter time, don't forget you can't put down a regular
pre emergent nervoside on those areas because it will stop
the grass seed from coming up. But get out and
get your grass seed in hand now so that you
have it available for you when you're ready to go
out and do your dormant seeding, and make sure it's
(06:51):
the a grass seed or a grass seed mix or
blend that is compatible or matches what you're already growing
in your laun If you don't know what it is,
maybe take a ten or twelve inch square of the
green lawn to the local garden center les somebody to
try to identify what they see in there. It's kind
of hard to do that, but maybe you can pick
out which basically what you have in there, and then
(07:14):
go from there. And then when you do seating, always
save the label from the seed bag and put it somewhere,
stapled up in the garage or somewhere, so if you
ever have to come back and do some reseeding. You
know what you use the last time you seated, all right,
keep that label so you know what you used. But again,
you've still got time to take care of that. In
(07:36):
some areas, if the lawn still looks pretty active, you
can still core air raid. I don't see any problem
with doing that at this stage, other than in fact
you probably have to water to get that to work properly.
If you have broad leaf weeds growing in a lawn
that looks at the lawn looks okay, but you've got
some weeds here and there. Now is a good time,
still a good time to spot treat those broad leaf
weeds with a broad leaf weed killer. Still got time
(07:57):
to do that, the way the weather's been holding in
there for It's late this time of the year, so
be sure and do that. And of course keep mowing.
As long as it's growing, you keep mowing. And once
it stops mowing, you're growing and the leaves may be
still falling on your lawn. Keep mowing in a high
raise up more up, and just keep mowing, just to
(08:18):
keep grinding those leaves up and putting it back into
your mature turf. Very very important to Tennessee. We go Karen,
Good morning, Hi.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Good morning. I'm up at the cracking well way before dawn.
As you can see, it's well. I got up at
five point thirty here, good for you, and I don't
watch the time change. But that's neither here or there.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Okay, my question.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
I have eight large ferns that I've been bringing in
every year. They hang and they make such a mess
in the house. They're too full to dig them out
and transplant. Can I just cut all the throns back
and hopefully they'll grow nice and big next year.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Uh, you can give that a try. What's going to
happen over the winters. You'll probably see them start to
leaf back out again. What I try to do is
is to you know, keep as much of the foliage
there as I can, and you can you know where
it's really hanging over the side of the pot. A
lot of times I'll just cut all those off and
leave what's sticking up above the pot there, So you
(09:20):
kind of remove half of the foliage, but leave some
on there and then let them, you know, lamp them
through the winter time and they are going to shed,
There's no doubt about it. They just do that and
then in the springtime, I just take them off. You
take right off the top of the pot, you know,
right right about it, give them about a half an
inch sticking up out of the pot, cut them off
and let them just regrow totally in the springtime. And
(09:42):
it doesn't take them very long to fill back out again.
So you know, if you can personally, if you're going
to do that, I would take about half of that
foliage out, but leave half of it there just to
get you through the wintertime, and then cut it all
off in the springtime, start it all over again.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
What is the fit to leave it there? If you're
gonna cut it off in the spring.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Well, you you're still you're still producing energy to feedback
to that root system over the wintertime. What a little
it may be. They're still staying alive. I mean, even
though they shed leaves over the wintertime, there's still some
green left on them typically right by the time you
get the spring. Oh yeah, So what they're doing is
they're still feeding the roots down below. They're still keeping
that massive roots down there alive. Whereas if you cut
(10:26):
everything off and now it goes dormant, and so you
take a bigger risk of it not coming back in
the spring time. By cutting all that off now and again,
it'll probably start to regrow anyway. And you know what
you might want to do, Karen, experiment with one. Take
one and do that and see what happens. Take the
other ones and just take everything off that's hanging off
the side and leave what's coming up straight up out
(10:47):
of the pot. Leave that there. Take one or two
of them and cut it off at the at the
top of the pot, and compare and see what happens
with both of them. And if you do that, now,
you got to call me back and let me know
how it turned out for you.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Okay, all right, well at least be as much.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Of a mess exactly exactly, But give that to give
that a try. And that's a bad thing about most
of them, like the Boston ferns in that is that
they just you know, they need that light. It's dry
in the house. They just shed and it's horrible. And
a lot of folks by the time they get to
the interwell, they just throw them away. You see a
lot of them in the trash and out in the garbage,
and they throw them out, when when they could have
(11:25):
just cut them off and started them all over again.
But try try both ways and see what happens for you.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Okay, I'm a cheap skate, you know expensive ferns.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
I'm with you. Uh, you're a cheap You're not a
cheap skate. I get it. You know, if you can,
if you can get them over winter, good for you.
But like I said, you know, you cut them back
and they can flush right back up again. A lot
of folks don't realize.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
That, right.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
We'll try.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Thanks for appreciate it and keep me posted. I always
want to hear back from folks and we try something
like that, a little bit of an experiment, you know,
and to see what happens if you can get them
too limp through without any foliage on there whatsoever. There
you go, all right, quick break, we come back. Phone lines.

Well.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Of course, reader's recipes are always outstanding and they're easy,
so be sure and check it out again at Ron
Wilson online dot com. And one last thing. Our plant
of the week this week is Amarillis bulbs. All right, now,
you say, wait a second, Amarillis bulbs. Doesn't that have
to do with Christmas? Kind of? Yeah. We use them
a lot for Christmas for a little bit of color,
(16:42):
along with our pond set he is and Christmas cactus
and all of those, and paper whites. But if you
want to have you know, we talk. We buy all
of the kits, and of course you'll I just harp
on it the last of the year, talking about scarf
up all the paper, the paper well, paper whites too.
But Amarillis kiss because they're great Christmas presents. Oh my gosh,
(17:04):
it's the double thank you. They thank you when you
get it, they thank you about six or eight weeks
later when it's in flower. Whenever they pot it up
and it starts to flower, you get another caller a
text that says, man that Amarillis was absolutely gorgeous. Thank
you forgiving me the kid. They're so easy to do,
it's crazy, but it's one of those things that you
also want to scarf up a few because they usually
(17:26):
go on sale, like you know, between Christmas and New
Year's if there's any leftover, h and pot those up
about every two or three weeks, so as you've got
one in flower all the time through the winter season.
Jerry Rose, our giant pumpkin grower. They heard me talking
about these last year. Bought a whole bunch of them,
and he gave him away for Christmas. He sent me
(17:46):
pictures Christmas presents, potted up his own, got all kinds
of great flowers. Was loving it, and of course he
grew him over the summer and he's got him sitting
dormant right now. Got to leave the dormant about six
or eight weeks and then he's gonna bring him back
out even get him to flower again. So you know,
it was fun and he enjoyed it, and he said,
you're right, you know, the great color. But I have
(18:07):
it as our planet of the Week this week because
you will find Amarillis bulbs now available. Both the bulbs
and the kits in your local garden centers or wherever
they happen to sell holiday plants. They're out there now,
and if they aren't, they'll be there very soon. And
the reason I brought it up now is the fact
that if you want them in flower for the holiday
(18:28):
season for Christmas and New Year's remember what I just said,
it takes about six weeks or more to get them
in the flower, from the time you pot them up
and they start to you know, sit there for a
couple three days, and all sudden you start to see
them kind of green up, and then there you see
start at a little bit of the folly start to
pop a little bit. Then you see the flower buds
start to come up. Well, it takes about six weeks
(18:49):
or so before they start to open it. Once they do,
and depending on how many stop flower stalks you have,
and the number of flower stalks you get depends on
the size of the bulb, they could last three four
five weeks easily giving you some good color. So by
getting them started now, that puts them starting to flower
(19:10):
about mid December ish, just in time for all of
your little get togethers for the holiday season for Christmas
and through the holiday season as well, and so then
you start potting them up about every two or three
weeks so that you've got some in flour all winter long.
But that's why we made it our plan of the
week this week, so that if you needed to get
(19:31):
them started now over the next week or so for
the holiday season color. That's why you want to get
out and get them right now. And when you if
you go look at what we've got on there as
far as information, it also has the steps to get
them to reflour. So if you're interested in trying to
get your ambiillis bulbs to you know, reflour again next
(19:52):
year is pretty easy process. I've never been one hundred
percent getting into flower the following year. Some times you
get them, you know, depending on what the bulbs you have,
but sometimes you get them all over reflowers. Sometimes they do,
sometimes they don't. But it's pretty fun and it can
it's a great house plant, and you take them outside
the summer, bring them back in and it's fun to
(20:14):
see if you can get it to do it. Heavy feeders,
I stress that, so you make sure you feed them
on a regular basis. But again, all that information is
available for you on our website. It is our plan
of the week Amarillis Bulbs. You'll find it at Ron
Wilson online dot com. Have you seen any crab apples
or lilacs or other plants and flower right now around
your house? I'll tell you why that's happening after the break.

Eight or visit letter E letter Z Breathe dot com
(22:52):
talking you arding at eight hundred eight two three eight
two five five. You know, I had several emails. I
get these every year and it's usually only few here
and there, but I've probably got more questions about this
over the last two or three weeks, and I think
I ever have. And folks are looking around the landscape
and you're sitting there, you're driving the car, maybe you're
walking the sidewalk or whatever, or maybe you're in your
(23:13):
own yard and you look up and a spring flowering
tree or shrub right now is flowering. And we're not
talking full flower, but you've got enough flowers on it
that you notice that it's flowering. As a matter of fact,
two of them that I saved, I want to thank
Kathy van Arsdale from Louisville had sent me pictures of
(23:36):
her lilac, and then Alan Mary Hockley up in the
Bell Fountain, Ohio. And thanks Gary for sending that along
as well, both of them sending pictures of their lilacs
in flower. As a matter of fact, Kathy van Arsdale
and Louisville sent me a picture. She said, this is
really an unusual sight. Alan and Mary's is a white
(24:01):
one that was in flower. Kathy's is a purple lilac.
But what's interesting is behind it is there maple tree
in fall color. And she said, isn't that quite a contrast?
Look and see my maple tree in fall color and
my lilac and flower, and there's quite a few flowers
that are open on this lilac and it's like, you know,
(24:23):
what is going on here? And this does happen every
year some years worse than others, and I say worse
more than others. And there hasn't been a whole lot
of research done on this as far as exactly what
causes it, but it's called remontant or remontancy, and remontancy
is the ability of a plant, the flowering plant that
(24:46):
usually flowers in the springtime to flower again a second time.
And you know, there are reblooming lilacs, and there are
other reblooming shrubs that are out there that have been
bred to flower a second time. As a matter of factor,
reblooming lilacs sometimes it's a little misunderstanding. They flower in
the springtime and then they kind of hold off, put
out all that new growth, and then open a few
(25:08):
up in the falls, not a show like in the spring,
but a few in the fall. But regular lilacs will
do the same thing. But it's called remontant or remontancy.
And again they're not really sure exactly what causes this
or what triggers it, but most of the consensus is
that it's usually a stress related reaction by the plant,
(25:32):
or you know, to a change in the environment like
extremely hot we had that all fall, extremely dry, or
in a drought situation, had that all fall, sudden dropping
temperatures had that happen, was really hot, and also it
got cool for three or four nights in several days
that's some frosts there and all sun drops the tips
of frost, et cetera. They said, can trigger some of
(25:53):
these plants to do that, and otherwise they're not, you know,
not one hundred percent sure why they do it, but
we do see it in the landscapes every fall, a
little bit here and there. But this falls seems to
have been whatever stress they were going through, whatever it
may be, whether it's the heat, the cold, the drought, whatever,
(26:15):
seem to have really triggered a lot more flowers to
open up. And we'll see it mostly in lilacs, for sure,
see that all the time. I'll see for scythia that
will open up and do that. I've seen azaleas and
rhodos typically rhododendrons uh pjam was always it would always
open up in the fall. You get three or four
nice of those buds, and you know that once they're open, uh,
(26:37):
that's gone for next spring, so you lose those. So
you know, I always tell folks to take a picture
and enjoy it because that won't be there in the springtime. Fortunately,
it's not all the flower buds that open up, but
you know, in some cases you can see a pretty
good show We've got several crab apples in our area
right now that are showing enough color that you notice it.
And I saw two of the ornamental pairs, not the
(27:00):
invasive pairs, but the that were planted in a landscape
that had about a three inch so trunk diameter, so
they've been there for a little while that were white
enough that I could see the outline of both trees,
and I caught it outside of my eyes I was
driving by, So you know, you do see it mostly
with crab apples, lilacs. Like I said, rodos occasional will
(27:22):
do that as well. But it's called roumontant or emontancy,
and you know, nothing you can do about it. It's all,
from what we can tell, environmentally related, some type of
a stress quick factor put on the plant and then
they just happened to react that way and open back up.
Drick didn't have thinking the spring or whatever. I don't know,
but that's what it is. There is a term for it,
(27:43):
and uh, like I say, just enjoy it because those
flower buds that have been spent for this fall won't
be there for next spring. But again, fortunately it's not
excessive enough that you you know, lose all of the
flowers on the plant. I swear there's two pairs I
saw yesterday. That's probably the most I've ever seen a
flowering tree out in color in the mid to late fall.
(28:07):
Due to this, the double flowering, I mean, it really
stood out kind of interesting. But the crab apples a
lot right now. So thank you for sending the pictures.
That had quite a few people that ask about that.
Thought we might want to bring it up. Case you
take a look around your landscape, you might be seeing
that as well. All right, We're gonna go to Kentucky.
Terry's got a tip for us this morning.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Terry, Good morning, Hi, Ron, spent a long time since
I talked to you.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Good to hear from you.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
A few weeks ago, I don't know if you remember,
there was a guy that called in and he had
problem with one false thread cypress kept dying on it.
He had a whole row of him, and there was
one that just kept dying, kept replanting. Repl Do you
remember that. I do, okay, I had the same situation
(28:54):
with oak tree. I have a row of red oaks
and one just wouldn't do well, and they finally died.
I replanted it did everything I was supposed to do,
and it kept dying. I figured out we had a
gas line underneath that close to that root ball root system,
(29:14):
and the gas line had leaked. Would that cause that
tree to die?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Ooh, I don't know that I could answer that. I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
I mean, it was the leak was probably six to
eight feet away from the tree itself. But you know,
the rootball goes out right, you know. I now that
the gas leaks fixed, I haven't had time to, you know,
get rid of the old soil. I wonder if that
could have contaminated that soil enough to till that tree.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
I don't think it would. Again, you can have it tested,
you know, there's a lot of labs that can test it,
and you can tell them what you're testing for and
they can take a look to see. But I would
think that a gas it's just like humigating soils to
sterilize them or whatever. Eventually that does wear off.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Yeah, but it would be it would be a constant leak.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Yeah, I'm just saying for planting a new tree.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Yeah, yeah, I know, But I wonder if that would
be causing your caller a couple of weeks ago, if
he looked into.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
That's a good question. And again, you know, six or
eight feet away from where you're planting. I mean, it
still could move through the soil that much. I don't know.
I'm gonna I'm writing myself a note here to find out. Yeah,
I'll do some research to find out if that possibly
could could have been the issue.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Yeah, it would be about six to eight feet away
from the tree trunk, but you know the root ball
goes out another two feet, right, so it's closer closer
to four feet or three and a half feet. I
wonder if that could be, you know, contaminating that soil
enough to kill that he had a false thread.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Cyprust, Well, you know, we're always trying, always trying to
be a detective, trying to figure out what all the
other factors that could be causing a problem that very
well could be. And Terry, I'll tell you what I
wrote myself a note. I'm gonna find out if that
has any effect on plants or not.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Okay, great, That's all I got for you, right, all.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Right, Terry, appreciate the call. Good hearing from you. I
don't if you happen to know, I don't know what
the gas leak would do uh to the root system.
I don't know. I can't answer that question. Never been
I've never asked that and never looked into it. But
we'll certainly do that because I love looking into you know,
learning more and looking into things like this. Trying to
figure out that's always an issue, you know, trying to
(31:31):
figure out like that doing your detective work. What in
the world could be possibly happening in this one spot
that I can't get another plant to grow that a
plant did grow there at one time. Something changed, something's
in the soil. What happened And that's always a tough
one to try to figure that one out. But again,
I'll look into that gas leak and if you're familiar
with it, if you know for sure, we'd love to

How are you today, Chris?
Speaker 1 (34:28):
I'm great in yourself, excellent, Thank you good.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
I was just listening to your last caller, and I
wanted to let you know that I had a little
gas leak in our front yard, you know, near the
sidewalk for probably the better part of ten years before
they actually got to the bottom of it and fixed it.
And I never ever could get grass to grow, and
(34:56):
it was probably about an eight foot di I'm gonna
circle in the front that I was just no matter
what I did, I could not get grass to grow.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
And then after they fixed it.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
Perfectly fine, there you go.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
I think you may have just answered our question.
Speaker 4 (35:19):
Well, it's not the same as a tree, but it's something,
you know, So you've answered a million of my questions.
So I figured that was the least I could do
was to call in and.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Let you know I appreciate that. And you know what,
the thing of it is lawns can be very forgiving.
I mean they could tolerate a whole bunch of different
conditions out there. So you know, to for to wipe
out the grass totally in that area and obviously having
it fixed and then coming back in the grass, coming
right back obviously tells the tale right there. And I
really do appreciate it. Chris, You'll be well, all right,
(35:54):
take care. Good hearing from you. Robin in South Carolina,
good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
How are you taking my call?
Speaker 1 (36:01):
I'm great, and you're welcome.
Speaker 7 (36:05):
My husband brought home several lambs from elderberry bushes. Yes,
and I kind of put them in water, and I've
got about fifty rooted now. I was wondering can I
plant them?
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Now?
Speaker 7 (36:20):
I live, I live south of Columbia and South Carolina.
It's our weather's miles. And if I can't plan them,
how far apart should I plant?
Speaker 1 (36:30):
And this was elderberry? Yes, sir, all right? Can you
plant them in the fall? You can. The only thing
I'm thinking is the root system? Pretty well, I mean,
what kind of root system do you have on them?
Speaker 3 (36:44):
Now?
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Pretty I mean are they still in the water? Are
they still in are they in soil.
Speaker 7 (36:49):
I have a few in soil, and then I've still
got several with water, and I transplant them into soil
and I keep it pretty moist at first because of
the water.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
Sure, but I mean they're really crazy. They've got the yep, well,
that's that's excellent. I The thing I was asking is
that if they've got a pretty good at root system,
the kicker is when you put them in that container,
and I'm assuming you're using potting soil something like that,
you're still able to Yeah, there you go, and you're
(37:24):
able to control the moisture levels. At that point when
you put them in the ground becomes a little bit
more difficult trying to control that. So my question would be,
do we go ahead and pot them all up in
a one or two gallon pot and let them continue
to root there through the fall this winter? Of course,
you don't have a really tough winter, but this winter,
(37:45):
let's just overwinter. Then once they go dorm it like
in an unheated garage or an unheated shed water about
once a month or so, bring them back out in
the springtime. Now they've developed a little bit better root system,
a little bit more hardened off and then I'd say
let's go for getting them in the ground. At that time.
I'm just trying to acclimate them so that you're as
successful as you can be from the from that rooting
(38:08):
into the water to actually putting them into the ground.
You can plant in the fall, and you've still got
plenty of time to do that obviously, but I'm just
concerned about getting them hardened off and having that root
system established enough and tough enough that they can handle
going right into the soil. So I would I would
personally pot them all up, let them root in there,
(38:30):
get a nice little root system going before I would
put them in the ground, which would be, like I said,
as soon as we get the weather breaks for you
in the springtime, pull them out there. I think you'd
be surprised how many roots they will develop it over
the winter time in there, and then get them planted
at that point and go from there as far as
how far apart. You know, elderberries can get pretty good size,
and you know you're talking a plant that you know
(38:53):
easily can get six eight feet high and wide. So
in a case like that, you know you'd be planning
those on. You know, figure if they got eight feet wide.
You would be planning them on eight foot centers four
feet four feet and they would be touching at that point.
Now you could go closer if you wanted to and
just you know, create a hedge out of them. But
(39:13):
even on six to eight foot centers, eventually they will
touch each other.
Speaker 7 (39:18):
Okay, well I've got twenty acres so there.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
Yeah, oh yo, yeah, twenty acres. Absolutely. I'll tell you what,
I love elderberry jam. That stuff is absolutely outstanding.
Speaker 7 (39:33):
I make an elderberry syrup allergies, yes, and that's mainly
what I'm going forward. But I didn't know you could
make elderberry jam.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Oh yeah, my mom used to make elderberry jam and
is absolutely outstanding. Of course, you got to fight the
birds for him. You gotta get there and get to
get him before the birds do. But man, if you do, yes, yep,
that's what you're gonna have to do to protect them.
Protect You're right, But yeah, that's that that works well.
But yeah, do the syrup. But as it gets a
(40:09):
couple of recipes. If you can't find one, let me know.
I'll send you my mom's recipe and we'll, you know,
get you doing the jams. As well.
Speaker 7 (40:17):
Oh wow, you wouldn't.
Speaker 5 (40:19):
Happen to have one of her recipes in her own
handwriting like uh, I don't know if she does or not.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
I'll find out though.
Speaker 7 (40:27):
I made my h my children, grandchildrencipe books in my
mother's grandmother's and some of their auntoms that have passed on.
I made this for Christmas last.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
Year or so.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
What a great idea. Yeah, you know what, I never
even thought of doing that because you know, we usually
type it all up and make it look real professional.
Why not do it in their own hand? What a
great idea.
Speaker 7 (40:52):
Yeah, and you put it, you know, you just printed
on some pretty paper, laminade them so they don't get
messed up.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
Wow. I love that. Oh absolutely well, Robin, good luck
with everything. If I if you need the recipe, email
me and I'll see if I can. If she's got
one for you, I sure will and thank you so much.
My pleasure. Be safe driving out there, and the good
luck with those elderberries.
Speaker 3 (41:17):
I do.
Speaker 1 (41:18):
Elderberry jam absolutely my favorite. I've always said my mom
makes the best. Rita Hikenfeld, who's always on our show,
our herbalist, she makes it as well, and I think
she makes the elderberry syrup as well, if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 4 (41:31):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
And I never forget, I forget what I was gonna.
I was looking into the elderberries because it's expensive elderberry
syrup for allergies, for sinuses and all. It's not cheap.
Speaker 3 (41:42):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (41:42):
And you know you can make your own and uh
and of course, uh Rita, I think she actually she
may have given us a recipe on that as well,
but I don't remember. But anyway, fairly easy to grow.
Speaker 8 (41:52):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (41:52):
You just got to fight the birds for him when
they come into flower. But man, is that good? And
again they have to be cooked. But love that elderberry.
All right, to Mason, we go, Chad, good morning.
Speaker 8 (42:05):
And I got a question about a street tree situation.
So I've got two pinoaks I just pulled out. They
were doing very terrible and under one of the trees,
I've got maybe twelve inches down. I've got a four
inch PVC pipe right under that tree. So I'm guessing
(42:29):
I cannot replace the tree like I can't put another
tree there. Well, I guess that's the question.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
You don't want to. I mean, the thing of it is,
what's the PVC pipe for?
Speaker 8 (42:44):
Well, that's a good question. We have no idea. We
live on a hill. We're very far back from this position.
I don't have any drainage from the house that I'm
aware because I don't have a since I'm on a hill.
Speaker 1 (43:03):
Uh, well, you know what I plan. I try to
find out obviously what the PVC pipes if it doesn't
leak or whatever.
Speaker 3 (43:11):
You know.
Speaker 1 (43:11):
The thing of it is, trees don't know that that
water is there. Now if it starts to sweat or
leak or cracked, and of course they would they the
roofs would go toward it. But otherwise they never know
that that's there, just like a stick or a rock
or something that's in the soil. It's not the best
thing in the world to do, but you can get
around that. But I try to find out what that
is before I would before i'd be planning sending back
(43:32):
in that area. Again, most definitely, That's why I doubt
that that was the issue. Hey, we gotta go, do
me a favorite email. I mean, I'll get back to you.
We'll converse with the email as well. You're in the
garden with Ron Wilson. Bring some or not.
Speaker 5 (44:01):
Ron can help at one eight hundred eighty two three talk.
This is in the Garden with Ron Wilson
That toll free number here in the garden is eight
hundred eight two three eight two five five. Good morning.
I am Ron Wilson, your personal yard boy, talking about
yarding Danny Night during the break talking about the ending
of the daylight saving time. And you know they have
the benefits and the pluses and the minuses and all
the things that can happen. You know what, Quit chain
here's my theory, and dance with me on this one.
(00:56):
I am. It's very rare that dance. Ever. I am
question mark that he ever agrees with me on anything.
But quit changing it. Just leave it at one or
the other. And if you're gonna leave it at one,
leave it at the normal time. As far as I'm concerned.
What we're going to tonight, that's my favorite. Just take
it to that. Dan even said the only time I'm
(01:17):
grumpy is when we have to spring forward in the
spring time. That's particular Sunday, I'm grumpy as can be
for a week or so. Yeah, and Gary takes the
brunt of it and then yeah, here Sunday morning. That's
right because he has come in on Sunday morning and
do a show. So I say, when daylight saving time
is done, which is Sunday morning at two o'clock. Just
leave it alone and let's stay with that regular time.
(01:40):
That's me, that's my opinion. I like it, and I'm
sticking to it. Always have always said that. You know that,
and it'll never change until they finally just drop it
and it'll probably go to daylight saving time forever and
not the what I like. But that's the way it goes.
But anyway, don't forget tonight is when you turn the
clocks back, you get the fall get an extra hour tomorrow,
(02:01):
so you get to fall back, and things will change
a little bit. It's going to get darker a little
bit earlier in the evening. I doubt about it, but
you know what, the sun comes up a little earlier
in the morning. So there you go, get up in
the morning and enjoy the extra hour in the morning.
It's pretty simple. And you said, no, it's not because
I don't like getting up early. Well I do. Well,
(02:23):
I do too for my job and just in general
I do. I always been that way. I'm not a
late sleeper. I have to get up early. I love
I love watching the sun come up if it's already
up when I wake up and it's out. I feel
like I've wasted the day. And then maybe I got
that from my parents. I don't know my grandparents too,
but that's the way I am anyway. But don't forget
tonight you ten o'clock's back at two am. Now, who's
(02:45):
going to get up a two am and do that? Well,
not me, So you're gonna do it before you go
to bed. But don't forget.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
A lot of us have our cell phones now, and
it just doesn't itself.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Does it for you? Some things do it for you,
some things don't. Just double check to make sure for
those things that do not. Turn it back. Yes, sir,
what happened. But you know, everything's going on in the yard,
and garden continues right on, whether it's daylight saving time
or your normal time. So everything is going to keep
right on going. And we are in the fall season.
We're right in the middle of the fall season, and
(03:14):
you still have plenty of time to plant. Maybe a
little dry out there, but you're gonna have to water.
But otherwise, you know, we still got plenty of time
to get those trees planted, get some evergreens in the ground,
get that screens established. You know, in in the ground,
mulched in ready to go watered in, so that next
spring you can sit back and watch it start to
grow and enjoy those without having to do it in
(03:35):
the springtime. There's usually better planting time, and it's more
extended time in the fall than there is in the spring.
You never know what spring's gonna bring. You know, it's
falls a lot more, I think, more consistent when it
comes to the weather. Spring you get you know, it's cold,
it's wet, snow and it's whatever's going to do. It's sunny,
it's dry, back to rain. You never know. Next thing
you know, you're in a June and it's all over
(03:57):
and you didn't get everything planted. So you know, take
advantage of the all season. More roocher developed this time
of the year than any other time the rest of
the year. And like I said, the watering, well you
would have had to do that. You do that anyway
with newly planted trees and shrubs, and make sure you're
watering the existing ones as well if you are experiencing
the dry weather that we are experiencing here as well.
(04:19):
Looking at the lawns right now, cool season lawns a
lot of lawns still looking pretty good. That the last
big good rainfall we had kind of pulled a lot
of lawns out. I see a lot of lawns that
have a lot of thin areas, bear areas in them. Folks,
you know, putting off putting down new seed because of
the way the weather's been. If that's you, that's quite
(04:40):
all right. It's not an issue. But what I would do,
what I would suggest if you've still got halfway decent lawn,
you've got some bear areas you're gonna have to take
care of if you didn't feed the lawn at all
this fall, I'd at least get one feeding down, and
you could do that anytime right now. Furlong's lawn food
plus iron, something of that sort of lawn food. Go
(05:03):
ahead and put that down now, and do that as
your last You know, you could do it just one time.
We just do it one time. Do that as your
last feeding if you'd like, and at least do that
for the existing law and it's there, all right. And
then if you think you need to do some seating
because you've got a few bear areas here and there,
what I'd like for you to do is over the
next week or two, get out there with a leaf
(05:25):
rake and rake those areas out so that you clean
out any of the dead grass or dead debris that's
laying there, so that when we get into either December,
late December, or I like to wait until mid to
late February, you can do your dormant seating. At that time.
You can go into those areas and do the dormant
seating in those bare areas. But you raked all the
(05:45):
debris out and you got it ready to go, so
you know that's something you could do right now and
then have the seed on hand, So get out to
your local independent garden center and get the seed that
you need for dormant seating. And so what dormant seating
does of that is it works it into the soil.
The seed's in place, it's ready to go. As soon
as the weather breaks soil and air air temperatures become
(06:08):
just right in the springtime, that seed's ready to bust, germination,
start to grow, root in and do the best that
it can before we get into the summer season, which
doesn't take very long in the spring. So you know
that's fall seating, the best time for cool season grasses.
Dormant seeding the second best time, spring seeding the third,
(06:31):
and summer seating the worst. And that's the way it works.
So and again, if you put down seed during the
winter time, don't forget you can't put down a regular
pre emergent nervoside on those areas because it will stop
the grass seed from coming up. But get out and
get your grass seed in hand now so that you
have it available for you when you're ready to go
out and do your dormant seeding, and make sure it's
(06:51):
the a grass seed or a grass seed mix or
blend that is compatible or matches what you're already growing
in your laun If you don't know what it is,
maybe take a ten or twelve inch square of the
green lawn to the local garden center les somebody to
try to identify what they see in there. It's kind
of hard to do that, but maybe you can pick
out which basically what you have in there, and then
(07:14):
go from there. And then when you do seating, always
save the label from the seed bag and put it somewhere,
stapled up in the garage or somewhere, so if you
ever have to come back and do some reseeding. You
know what you use the last time you seated, all right,
keep that label so you know what you used. But again,
you've still got time to take care of that. In
(07:36):
some areas, if the lawn still looks pretty active, you
can still core air raid. I don't see any problem
with doing that at this stage, other than in fact
you probably have to water to get that to work properly.
If you have broad leaf weeds growing in a lawn
that looks at the lawn looks okay, but you've got
some weeds here and there. Now is a good time,
still a good time to spot treat those broad leaf
weeds with a broad leaf weed killer. Still got time
(07:57):
to do that, the way the weather's been holding in
there for It's late this time of the year, so
be sure and do that. And of course keep mowing.
As long as it's growing, you keep mowing. And once
it stops mowing, you're growing and the leaves may be
still falling on your lawn. Keep mowing in a high
raise up more up, and just keep mowing, just to
(08:18):
keep grinding those leaves up and putting it back into
your mature turf. Very very important to Tennessee. We go Karen,
Good morning, Hi.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Good morning. I'm up at the cracking well way before dawn.
As you can see, it's well. I got up at
five point thirty here, good for you, and I don't
watch the time change. But that's neither here or there.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Okay, my question.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
I have eight large ferns that I've been bringing in
every year. They hang and they make such a mess
in the house. They're too full to dig them out
and transplant. Can I just cut all the throns back
and hopefully they'll grow nice and big next year.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Uh, you can give that a try. What's going to
happen over the winters. You'll probably see them start to
leaf back out again. What I try to do is
is to you know, keep as much of the foliage
there as I can, and you can you know where
it's really hanging over the side of the pot. A
lot of times I'll just cut all those off and
leave what's sticking up above the pot there, So you
(09:20):
kind of remove half of the foliage, but leave some
on there and then let them, you know, lamp them
through the winter time and they are going to shed,
There's no doubt about it. They just do that and
then in the springtime, I just take them off. You
take right off the top of the pot, you know,
right right about it, give them about a half an
inch sticking up out of the pot, cut them off
and let them just regrow totally in the springtime. And
(09:42):
it doesn't take them very long to fill back out again.
So you know, if you can personally, if you're going
to do that, I would take about half of that
foliage out, but leave half of it there just to
get you through the wintertime, and then cut it all
off in the springtime, start it all over again.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
What is the fit to leave it there? If you're
gonna cut it off in the spring.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Well, you you're still you're still producing energy to feedback
to that root system over the wintertime. What a little
it may be. They're still staying alive. I mean, even
though they shed leaves over the wintertime, there's still some
green left on them typically right by the time you
get the spring. Oh yeah, So what they're doing is
they're still feeding the roots down below. They're still keeping
that massive roots down there alive. Whereas if you cut
(10:26):
everything off and now it goes dormant, and so you
take a bigger risk of it not coming back in
the spring time. By cutting all that off now and again,
it'll probably start to regrow anyway. And you know what
you might want to do, Karen, experiment with one. Take
one and do that and see what happens. Take the
other ones and just take everything off that's hanging off
the side and leave what's coming up straight up out
(10:47):
of the pot. Leave that there. Take one or two
of them and cut it off at the at the
top of the pot, and compare and see what happens
with both of them. And if you do that, now,
you got to call me back and let me know
how it turned out for you.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Okay, all right, well at least be as much.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Of a mess exactly exactly, But give that to give
that a try. And that's a bad thing about most
of them, like the Boston ferns in that is that
they just you know, they need that light. It's dry
in the house. They just shed and it's horrible. And
a lot of folks by the time they get to
the interwell, they just throw them away. You see a
lot of them in the trash and out in the garbage,
and they throw them out, when when they could have
(11:25):
just cut them off and started them all over again.
But try try both ways and see what happens for you.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Okay, I'm a cheap skate, you know expensive ferns.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
I'm with you. Uh, you're a cheap You're not a
cheap skate. I get it. You know, if you can,
if you can get them over winter, good for you.
But like I said, you know, you cut them back
and they can flush right back up again. A lot
of folks don't realize.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
That, right.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
We'll try.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Thanks for appreciate it and keep me posted. I always
want to hear back from folks and we try something
like that, a little bit of an experiment, you know,
and to see what happens if you can get them
too limp through without any foliage on there whatsoever. There
you go, all right, quick break, we come back. Phone lines.

A lot of people asking about that it's a pulled
pork she did it for Halloween. Uh yeah, it turned
out pretty good. A couple people said that we tried
that it was darn good.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Well.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Of course, reader's recipes are always outstanding and they're easy,
so be sure and check it out again at Ron
Wilson online dot com. And one last thing. Our plant
of the week this week is Amarillis bulbs. All right, now,
you say, wait a second, Amarillis bulbs. Doesn't that have
to do with Christmas? Kind of? Yeah. We use them
a lot for Christmas for a little bit of color,
(16:42):
along with our pond set he is and Christmas cactus
and all of those, and paper whites. But if you
want to have you know, we talk. We buy all
of the kits, and of course you'll I just harp
on it the last of the year, talking about scarf
up all the paper, the paper well, paper whites too.
But Amarillis kiss because they're great Christmas presents. Oh my gosh,
(17:04):
it's the double thank you. They thank you when you
get it, they thank you about six or eight weeks
later when it's in flower. Whenever they pot it up
and it starts to flower, you get another caller a
text that says, man that Amarillis was absolutely gorgeous. Thank
you forgiving me the kid. They're so easy to do,
it's crazy, but it's one of those things that you
also want to scarf up a few because they usually
(17:26):
go on sale, like you know, between Christmas and New
Year's if there's any leftover, h and pot those up
about every two or three weeks, so as you've got
one in flower all the time through the winter season.
Jerry Rose, our giant pumpkin grower. They heard me talking
about these last year. Bought a whole bunch of them,
and he gave him away for Christmas. He sent me
(17:46):
pictures Christmas presents, potted up his own, got all kinds
of great flowers. Was loving it, and of course he
grew him over the summer and he's got him sitting
dormant right now. Got to leave the dormant about six
or eight weeks and then he's gonna bring him back
out even get him to flower again. So you know,
it was fun and he enjoyed it, and he said,
you're right, you know, the great color. But I have
(18:07):
it as our planet of the Week this week because
you will find Amarillis bulbs now available. Both the bulbs
and the kits in your local garden centers or wherever
they happen to sell holiday plants. They're out there now,
and if they aren't, they'll be there very soon. And
the reason I brought it up now is the fact
that if you want them in flower for the holiday
(18:28):
season for Christmas and New Year's remember what I just said,
it takes about six weeks or more to get them
in the flower, from the time you pot them up
and they start to you know, sit there for a
couple three days, and all sudden you start to see
them kind of green up, and then there you see
start at a little bit of the folly start to
pop a little bit. Then you see the flower buds
start to come up. Well, it takes about six weeks
(18:49):
or so before they start to open it. Once they do,
and depending on how many stop flower stalks you have,
and the number of flower stalks you get depends on
the size of the bulb, they could last three four
five weeks easily giving you some good color. So by
getting them started now, that puts them starting to flower
(19:10):
about mid December ish, just in time for all of
your little get togethers for the holiday season for Christmas
and through the holiday season as well, and so then
you start potting them up about every two or three
weeks so that you've got some in flour all winter long.
But that's why we made it our plan of the
week this week, so that if you needed to get
(19:31):
them started now over the next week or so for
the holiday season color. That's why you want to get
out and get them right now. And when you if
you go look at what we've got on there as
far as information, it also has the steps to get
them to reflour. So if you're interested in trying to
get your ambiillis bulbs to you know, reflour again next
(19:52):
year is pretty easy process. I've never been one hundred
percent getting into flower the following year. Some times you
get them, you know, depending on what the bulbs you have,
but sometimes you get them all over reflowers. Sometimes they do,
sometimes they don't. But it's pretty fun and it can
it's a great house plant, and you take them outside
the summer, bring them back in and it's fun to
(20:14):
see if you can get it to do it. Heavy feeders,
I stress that, so you make sure you feed them
on a regular basis. But again, all that information is
available for you on our website. It is our plan
of the week Amarillis Bulbs. You'll find it at Ron
Wilson online dot com. Have you seen any crab apples
or lilacs or other plants and flower right now around

Speaker 1 (22:09):
Eight or visit letter E letter Z Breathe dot com
(22:52):
talking you arding at eight hundred eight two three eight
two five five. You know, I had several emails. I
get these every year and it's usually only few here
and there, but I've probably got more questions about this
over the last two or three weeks, and I think
I ever have. And folks are looking around the landscape
and you're sitting there, you're driving the car, maybe you're
walking the sidewalk or whatever, or maybe you're in your
(23:13):
own yard and you look up and a spring flowering
tree or shrub right now is flowering. And we're not
talking full flower, but you've got enough flowers on it
that you notice that it's flowering. As a matter of fact,
two of them that I saved, I want to thank
Kathy van Arsdale from Louisville had sent me pictures of
(23:36):
her lilac, and then Alan Mary Hockley up in the
Bell Fountain, Ohio. And thanks Gary for sending that along
as well, both of them sending pictures of their lilacs
in flower. As a matter of fact, Kathy van Arsdale
and Louisville sent me a picture. She said, this is
really an unusual sight. Alan and Mary's is a white
(24:01):
one that was in flower. Kathy's is a purple lilac.
But what's interesting is behind it is there maple tree
in fall color. And she said, isn't that quite a contrast?
Look and see my maple tree in fall color and
my lilac and flower, and there's quite a few flowers
that are open on this lilac and it's like, you know,
(24:23):
what is going on here? And this does happen every
year some years worse than others, and I say worse
more than others. And there hasn't been a whole lot
of research done on this as far as exactly what
causes it, but it's called remontant or remontancy, and remontancy
is the ability of a plant, the flowering plant that
(24:46):
usually flowers in the springtime to flower again a second time.
And you know, there are reblooming lilacs, and there are
other reblooming shrubs that are out there that have been
bred to flower a second time. As a matter of factor,
reblooming lilacs sometimes it's a little misunderstanding. They flower in
the springtime and then they kind of hold off, put
out all that new growth, and then open a few
(25:08):
up in the falls, not a show like in the spring,
but a few in the fall. But regular lilacs will
do the same thing. But it's called remontant or remontancy.
And again they're not really sure exactly what causes this
or what triggers it, but most of the consensus is
that it's usually a stress related reaction by the plant,
(25:32):
or you know, to a change in the environment like
extremely hot we had that all fall, extremely dry, or
in a drought situation, had that all fall, sudden dropping
temperatures had that happen, was really hot, and also it
got cool for three or four nights in several days
that's some frosts there and all sun drops the tips
of frost, et cetera. They said, can trigger some of
(25:53):
these plants to do that, and otherwise they're not, you know,
not one hundred percent sure why they do it, but
we do see it in the landscapes every fall, a
little bit here and there. But this falls seems to
have been whatever stress they were going through, whatever it
may be, whether it's the heat, the cold, the drought, whatever,
(26:15):
seem to have really triggered a lot more flowers to
open up. And we'll see it mostly in lilacs, for sure,
see that all the time. I'll see for scythia that
will open up and do that. I've seen azaleas and
rhodos typically rhododendrons uh pjam was always it would always
open up in the fall. You get three or four
nice of those buds, and you know that once they're open, uh,
(26:37):
that's gone for next spring, so you lose those. So
you know, I always tell folks to take a picture
and enjoy it because that won't be there in the springtime. Fortunately,
it's not all the flower buds that open up, but
you know, in some cases you can see a pretty
good show We've got several crab apples in our area
right now that are showing enough color that you notice it.
And I saw two of the ornamental pairs, not the
(27:00):
invasive pairs, but the that were planted in a landscape
that had about a three inch so trunk diameter, so
they've been there for a little while that were white
enough that I could see the outline of both trees,
and I caught it outside of my eyes I was
driving by, So you know, you do see it mostly
with crab apples, lilacs. Like I said, rodos occasional will
(27:22):
do that as well. But it's called roumontant or emontancy,
and you know, nothing you can do about it. It's all,
from what we can tell, environmentally related, some type of
a stress quick factor put on the plant and then
they just happened to react that way and open back up.
Drick didn't have thinking the spring or whatever. I don't know,
but that's what it is. There is a term for it,
(27:43):
and uh, like I say, just enjoy it because those
flower buds that have been spent for this fall won't
be there for next spring. But again, fortunately it's not
excessive enough that you you know, lose all of the
flowers on the plant. I swear there's two pairs I
saw yesterday. That's probably the most I've ever seen a
flowering tree out in color in the mid to late fall.
(28:07):
Due to this, the double flowering, I mean, it really
stood out kind of interesting. But the crab apples a
lot right now. So thank you for sending the pictures.
That had quite a few people that ask about that.
Thought we might want to bring it up. Case you
take a look around your landscape, you might be seeing
that as well. All right, We're gonna go to Kentucky.
Terry's got a tip for us this morning.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Terry, Good morning, Hi, Ron, spent a long time since
I talked to you.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Good to hear from you.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
A few weeks ago, I don't know if you remember,
there was a guy that called in and he had
problem with one false thread cypress kept dying on it.
He had a whole row of him, and there was
one that just kept dying, kept replanting. Repl Do you
remember that. I do, okay, I had the same situation
(28:54):
with oak tree. I have a row of red oaks
and one just wouldn't do well, and they finally died.
I replanted it did everything I was supposed to do,
and it kept dying. I figured out we had a
gas line underneath that close to that root ball root system,
(29:14):
and the gas line had leaked. Would that cause that
tree to die?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Ooh, I don't know that I could answer that. I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
I mean, it was the leak was probably six to
eight feet away from the tree itself. But you know,
the rootball goes out right, you know. I now that
the gas leaks fixed, I haven't had time to, you know,
get rid of the old soil. I wonder if that
could have contaminated that soil enough to till that tree.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
I don't think it would. Again, you can have it tested,
you know, there's a lot of labs that can test it,
and you can tell them what you're testing for and
they can take a look to see. But I would
think that a gas it's just like humigating soils to
sterilize them or whatever. Eventually that does wear off.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Yeah, but it would be it would be a constant leak.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Yeah, I'm just saying for planting a new tree.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Yeah, yeah, I know, But I wonder if that would
be causing your caller a couple of weeks ago, if
he looked into.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
That's a good question. And again, you know, six or
eight feet away from where you're planting. I mean, it
still could move through the soil that much. I don't know.
I'm gonna I'm writing myself a note here to find out. Yeah,
I'll do some research to find out if that possibly
could could have been the issue.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Yeah, it would be about six to eight feet away
from the tree trunk, but you know the root ball
goes out another two feet, right, so it's closer closer
to four feet or three and a half feet. I
wonder if that could be, you know, contaminating that soil
enough to kill that he had a false thread.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Cyprust, Well, you know, we're always trying, always trying to
be a detective, trying to figure out what all the
other factors that could be causing a problem that very
well could be. And Terry, I'll tell you what I
wrote myself a note. I'm gonna find out if that
has any effect on plants or not.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Okay, great, That's all I got for you, right, all.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Right, Terry, appreciate the call. Good hearing from you. I
don't if you happen to know, I don't know what
the gas leak would do uh to the root system.
I don't know. I can't answer that question. Never been
I've never asked that and never looked into it. But
we'll certainly do that because I love looking into you know,
learning more and looking into things like this. Trying to
figure out that's always an issue, you know, trying to
(31:31):
figure out like that doing your detective work. What in
the world could be possibly happening in this one spot
that I can't get another plant to grow that a
plant did grow there at one time. Something changed, something's
in the soil. What happened And that's always a tough
one to try to figure that one out. But again,
I'll look into that gas leak and if you're familiar
with it, if you know for sure, we'd love to

How are you today, Chris?
Speaker 1 (34:28):
I'm great in yourself, excellent, Thank you good.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
I was just listening to your last caller, and I
wanted to let you know that I had a little
gas leak in our front yard, you know, near the
sidewalk for probably the better part of ten years before
they actually got to the bottom of it and fixed it.
And I never ever could get grass to grow, and
(34:56):
it was probably about an eight foot di I'm gonna
circle in the front that I was just no matter
what I did, I could not get grass to grow.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
And then after they fixed it.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
Perfectly fine, there you go.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
I think you may have just answered our question.
Speaker 4 (35:19):
Well, it's not the same as a tree, but it's something,
you know, So you've answered a million of my questions.
So I figured that was the least I could do
was to call in and.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Let you know I appreciate that. And you know what,
the thing of it is lawns can be very forgiving.
I mean they could tolerate a whole bunch of different
conditions out there. So you know, to for to wipe
out the grass totally in that area and obviously having
it fixed and then coming back in the grass, coming
right back obviously tells the tale right there. And I
really do appreciate it. Chris, You'll be well, all right,
(35:54):
take care. Good hearing from you. Robin in South Carolina,
good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
How are you taking my call?
Speaker 1 (36:01):
I'm great, and you're welcome.
Speaker 7 (36:05):
My husband brought home several lambs from elderberry bushes. Yes,
and I kind of put them in water, and I've
got about fifty rooted now. I was wondering can I
plant them?
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Now?
Speaker 7 (36:20):
I live, I live south of Columbia and South Carolina.
It's our weather's miles. And if I can't plan them,
how far apart should I plant?
Speaker 1 (36:30):
And this was elderberry? Yes, sir, all right? Can you
plant them in the fall? You can. The only thing
I'm thinking is the root system? Pretty well, I mean,
what kind of root system do you have on them?
Speaker 3 (36:44):
Now?
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Pretty I mean are they still in the water? Are
they still in are they in soil.
Speaker 7 (36:49):
I have a few in soil, and then I've still
got several with water, and I transplant them into soil
and I keep it pretty moist at first because of
the water.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
Sure, but I mean they're really crazy. They've got the yep, well,
that's that's excellent. I The thing I was asking is
that if they've got a pretty good at root system,
the kicker is when you put them in that container,
and I'm assuming you're using potting soil something like that,
you're still able to Yeah, there you go, and you're
(37:24):
able to control the moisture levels. At that point when
you put them in the ground becomes a little bit
more difficult trying to control that. So my question would be,
do we go ahead and pot them all up in
a one or two gallon pot and let them continue
to root there through the fall this winter? Of course,
you don't have a really tough winter, but this winter,
(37:45):
let's just overwinter. Then once they go dorm it like
in an unheated garage or an unheated shed water about
once a month or so, bring them back out in
the springtime. Now they've developed a little bit better root system,
a little bit more hardened off and then I'd say
let's go for getting them in the ground. At that time.
I'm just trying to acclimate them so that you're as
successful as you can be from the from that rooting
(38:08):
into the water to actually putting them into the ground.
You can plant in the fall, and you've still got
plenty of time to do that obviously, but I'm just
concerned about getting them hardened off and having that root
system established enough and tough enough that they can handle
going right into the soil. So I would I would
personally pot them all up, let them root in there,
(38:30):
get a nice little root system going before I would
put them in the ground, which would be, like I said,
as soon as we get the weather breaks for you
in the springtime, pull them out there. I think you'd
be surprised how many roots they will develop it over
the winter time in there, and then get them planted
at that point and go from there as far as
how far apart. You know, elderberries can get pretty good size,
and you know you're talking a plant that you know
(38:53):
easily can get six eight feet high and wide. So
in a case like that, you know you'd be planning
those on. You know, figure if they got eight feet wide.
You would be planning them on eight foot centers four
feet four feet and they would be touching at that point.
Now you could go closer if you wanted to and
just you know, create a hedge out of them. But
(39:13):
even on six to eight foot centers, eventually they will
touch each other.
Speaker 7 (39:18):
Okay, well I've got twenty acres so there.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
Yeah, oh yo, yeah, twenty acres. Absolutely. I'll tell you what,
I love elderberry jam. That stuff is absolutely outstanding.
Speaker 7 (39:33):
I make an elderberry syrup allergies, yes, and that's mainly
what I'm going forward. But I didn't know you could
make elderberry jam.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Oh yeah, my mom used to make elderberry jam and
is absolutely outstanding. Of course, you got to fight the
birds for him. You gotta get there and get to
get him before the birds do. But man, if you do, yes, yep,
that's what you're gonna have to do to protect them.
Protect You're right, But yeah, that's that that works well.
But yeah, do the syrup. But as it gets a
(40:09):
couple of recipes. If you can't find one, let me know.
I'll send you my mom's recipe and we'll, you know,
get you doing the jams. As well.
Speaker 7 (40:17):
Oh wow, you wouldn't.
Speaker 5 (40:19):
Happen to have one of her recipes in her own
handwriting like uh, I don't know if she does or not.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
I'll find out though.
Speaker 7 (40:27):
I made my h my children, grandchildrencipe books in my
mother's grandmother's and some of their auntoms that have passed on.
I made this for Christmas last.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
Year or so.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
What a great idea. Yeah, you know what, I never
even thought of doing that because you know, we usually
type it all up and make it look real professional.
Why not do it in their own hand? What a
great idea.
Speaker 7 (40:52):
Yeah, and you put it, you know, you just printed
on some pretty paper, laminade them so they don't get
messed up.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
Wow. I love that. Oh absolutely well, Robin, good luck
with everything. If I if you need the recipe, email
me and I'll see if I can. If she's got
one for you, I sure will and thank you so much.
My pleasure. Be safe driving out there, and the good
luck with those elderberries.
Speaker 3 (41:17):
I do.
Speaker 1 (41:18):
Elderberry jam absolutely my favorite. I've always said my mom
makes the best. Rita Hikenfeld, who's always on our show,
our herbalist, she makes it as well, and I think
she makes the elderberry syrup as well, if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 4 (41:31):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
And I never forget, I forget what I was gonna.
I was looking into the elderberries because it's expensive elderberry
syrup for allergies, for sinuses and all. It's not cheap.
Speaker 3 (41:42):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (41:42):
And you know you can make your own and uh
and of course, uh Rita, I think she actually she
may have given us a recipe on that as well,
but I don't remember. But anyway, fairly easy to grow.
Speaker 8 (41:52):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (41:52):
You just got to fight the birds for him when
they come into flower. But man, is that good? And
again they have to be cooked. But love that elderberry.
All right, to Mason, we go, Chad, good morning.
Speaker 8 (42:05):
And I got a question about a street tree situation.
So I've got two pinoaks I just pulled out. They
were doing very terrible and under one of the trees,
I've got maybe twelve inches down. I've got a four
inch PVC pipe right under that tree. So I'm guessing
(42:29):
I cannot replace the tree like I can't put another
tree there. Well, I guess that's the question.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
You don't want to. I mean, the thing of it is,
what's the PVC pipe for?
Speaker 8 (42:44):
Well, that's a good question. We have no idea. We
live on a hill. We're very far back from this position.
I don't have any drainage from the house that I'm
aware because I don't have a since I'm on a hill.
Speaker 1 (43:03):
Uh, well, you know what I plan. I try to
find out obviously what the PVC pipes if it doesn't
leak or whatever.
Speaker 3 (43:11):
You know.
Speaker 1 (43:11):
The thing of it is, trees don't know that that
water is there. Now if it starts to sweat or
leak or cracked, and of course they would they the
roofs would go toward it. But otherwise they never know
that that's there, just like a stick or a rock
or something that's in the soil. It's not the best
thing in the world to do, but you can get
around that. But I try to find out what that
is before I would before i'd be planning sending back
(43:32):
in that area. Again, most definitely, That's why I doubt
that that was the issue. Hey, we gotta go, do
me a favorite email. I mean, I'll get back to you.
We'll converse with the email as well. You're in the
garden with Ron Wilson. Bring some or not.
Speaker 5 (44:01):
Ron can help at one eight hundred eighty two three talk.
