I'm looking on the screen, DannyGleeson. We call him the Durango kid.
Uh. This morning was a Iwant to be honest with you.
It's kind of a little bit ofa cluster in here. Some things happen
with the computers with a couple stationson the way in driving here, Dan
pulls over, calls me to tryto assist to get things back on the
on the air again. He showsup, gets things, take tastes handles,

(15:28):
grabs our flagship station that I didn'tknow about until I aftar camera.
Yeah, so he just grabs ahold of the controls and gets everything back
in the way. It's supposed tobe a little behind on what I like
to do, but we'll get there. But you do it, and that's
what and nobody knows any any ofthe difference. I mean, it's you
know, and that's why I alwayssay, you don't understand what the how

(15:48):
how important the producers are, especiallyDanny Gleeson, from when they come in.
They just do so many things thatyou don't have no idea, so
talk about being thankful, being thankfulfor Danny Glease And of course this morning
he just came in and just youknow, took the coat off and said,
okay, where are we starting.Got it all back together again and
things just move forward like nothing everhappened. So you are so thankful for

(16:11):
that and free. Our computers wenta little crazy overnight, so we're trying
to figure out what happened there.But he's a I can see him,
of course, as you all wellknow, we don't. I can't see
him anywhere as no actual window,but I see him on our TV screen
here on our computer screens, andhe is busy working away at I see
him staring at screens and computers andpunching buttons and doing all kinds of stuff,

(16:33):
which totally as a matter of fact, he was trying to explain something
to me while he was He pulledover called and I'm looking at the board
and I am I am clueless.Uh, But finally got here and got
it all take care of. Sothere we go. So we thanked Danny
for that, and hopefully, Dan, you had a great Thanksgiving. It
was very nice, very relaxing,very then you just kind of chilled out.
You and your mind ate a lotto help my mom with cooking some

(16:56):
of the food. So he atea lot. Yes. So when Dan,
when Dan Gleason walks up to theThanksgiving table and he looks at the
spread that's out there, what isthe what is your main focus? We

oh, rolls, whoa. Andjust a nice time with my mom.
That's good. Yeah, just torelax. And yeah, what did you
do? You watch the parade?No, I don't watch any of that.
Okay, I'm kind of disappointed inthe parade. They always have the
little show things where they dance andsing and all that instead of just showing

(17:40):
the parade. And I don't know, I don't that's not I'm not into
that so much anymore. But that'sokay. But I'm glad you were able
to just sit back and relax,had the day off from here. Thank
you, big dog for that bigdog giving you the time off. Yeah,
and uh, spend some time withmom and none have to get up
at two thirty in the morning likeI usually do and sit back and eat.

(18:03):
I'm gonna bet that you probably tooka couple naps at least one at
least one nap, because I knowI did when we got home. So
anyway, so we're always thankful forDanny. That's why at the end of
the show, I thank him somuch, because you have no idea all

roth Is. His website is arbordoctordot com. Did you have a great
Thanksgiving? Sir? Yeah, itstarted out kind of strange, but it
got better. Are you gonna leaveus hangings that? Are you gonna leave
us hanging? No? My mommoved to assisted living at Twin Towers Retirement

(24:00):
Community, and I spent the wholedays trying to figure out what if I
could eat lunch with her somewhere upthere, and nobody knew the answer.
It's like you talk to ten differentpeople, you get ten different answers.
It was very frustrating. So Ifinally get up there because I was told
by somebody that I could in theassisted living area that she was at.
So I went up there and theylooked at me and said, no,

(24:22):
you can't do that. You haveto go downstairs to the main dining room.
I'm like, okay, So Itake her in her wheelchair down to
the main dining room and we getdown there and they look at me and
they say, well, we don'thave we're not accepting guests here today.
You have to go back upstairs,like really. So at that point I'm
extremely frustrated. And we finally wrentacross the security guard that we'd done for

(24:47):
a while and he looked at meand he's like, that's ridiculous. So
we go back up to the assistedliving area and he looks at the people.
He says, you let him eatwith his mother. I said,
so, if anyone argues with me, haven come to me. So I
finally got to eat with her,but it was like, you've got to
be kidding me. Yeah, really, cops. But then after I spent

(25:07):
several hours with my mother good.It was fine after that, And then
later in the evening, I'm like, you know, I really need a
more relaxing Thanksgiving. So I stoppedat the cracker barrel and they had me
sit right in front of the fireplaceand it was absolutely wonderful. So it
ended well. So you chilled atthe cracker barrel, a little fire crackling

(25:32):
in the background, exactly the wayThanksgiving should be and next thing you knew,
you woke up and they were closing. Exactly next thing I woke up
and I was supposed to be callingyou for the Thanksgiving special on Saturday.
Yes, there you go. Talkingwith Ron roth Is at Arbordoctor's website is
arbordoctor dot com. So you know, when you show up to the Thanksgiving

(25:55):
table and all that stuff's all spreadout everywhere's the what's the one thing you
read and turkey doesn't count in hamdoesn't count? What do you focus on?
What am I focused? You knowthat? You know? I really
like cranberry sauce. It's strange becauseI never liked it as a child.
But it's one of those I guessacquired tastes, or maybe your taste buds

(26:18):
change as you get older, theychange. But I really like the cranberry
sauce. So yeah, now,are you the kind of the jello cranberry
sauce or do you like the oneswith the real cranberries in it? I
like it with real cranberry. Yeah, yes, yeah, I like that
too. Let's face it, it'splant related, so well, yeah,
it's got to be makes sense,right, sure? Absolutely? Talking with

(26:38):
Ron Rothis Thearbord Doctor arbordoctor dot comis his website. You know, I
have to get serious here for asecond. Looking out there. We got
some pretty good rainfall in our areathis past week. Are you happy with
that? I'm happy with it.But we're still well blown normal for the
month of November. I mean,that was the only rain that we had
for the month, and you know, this time of the year, you

(27:00):
know, as much evaporation, thetemperatures are cooler, So yeah, it's
it's nice, but it didn't rewetthe entire soil profile. It's still dry
deeper down. I mean, ifyou if people had been watering like we've
been saying and then we got thatrain on top of it, you're probably
in pretty good shape. But ifnot, I think the soil profile is

(27:22):
still dry. You know, alot of the streams are still running low.
Southeast third of Kentucky is in severedrought route right now in parts of
southern Indiana and parts of other partsof Kentucky and modern drought. There's several
areas of Ohio, Northeast Ohio,Southeast Ohio that are that are in drought

(27:44):
right now, and other parts arenormally dry so it's still dry. In
the southeast is dry. Gary,Bauchman Land is like the Sahara Desert,
and that extends up toward the Carolinas. So a lot of areas are really
really still dry. Now we're lookingat next week. We're actually looking at
highs in the upper thirties and theninto the forties, pretty cold at nighttime.

(28:07):
We can still keep watering, right, I mean, I'm telling folks
to keep going right uptil the holidayseason as best you can. Yeah,
I usually tell people through Thanksgiving.And if people have been regularly watering up
to this point, like I saidbefore, the soil profile I think would
be pretty moist. I don't knowthat much more watering is really necessary on
a plant that's out in the opennow. If it's under an overhang or

(28:29):
something near the house, you know, probably have the water occasionally all winter.
But if you've been watering up untilnow, I think you're probably in
pretty good shape, at least inCincinnati. Like I said, other areas
are even drier than we've been.But if you haven't been watering, it's
still dry out there, and sowatering is still important. I'm looking at

(28:52):
trees, I'm getting calls in treesthat evergreens that obviously are droughtstressed, and
you know, some of it's leftoversfrom last year just being exacerbated by this
year. Some of it's you know, from this year, but it's and
then you have the effects of thecold sat But remember what we said last
year, that cold snap that wehad around Christmas. I think the damage

(29:17):
from that was made worse because thetrees had been so dry in the fall.
So right now we're kind of settingourselves up. If your plants are
dried out now, they're that muchmore vulnerable to wacky weather that we might
get over the winter. And youknow how the weather's been around the country
the past, I don't know,a decade or two. It's pretty wacky.

(29:37):
So you better prepare for the wacky. And if it doesn't happen,
at least you were ready for it. You heard him right there, Ron
Roth said, and prepare for thewacky, yeah, which is the same
thing that you do when Buggy jais going to be on right, the
wacky of Buggy Joe Boggs as well. Yeah. Again, you know,
a newly planted evergreense for this fall, if you you know, fill up
a five gama bucket. I wantto dump that right, kind of complain,

(30:00):
There's no doubt about that, Somake sure they've got good moition in
the ground. Ron Roth, thiswe want to say thank you in all
sincerity for all that you do.You spend a lot of time on our
show. You share a lot ofgreat information with us, both with the
weather and tree care, and weappreciate that so much, and we are
thankful for you being a part ofour show, and we appreciate you spending

(30:22):
time with us this morning. Wehope you have a great Thanksgiving week end.
And those messages of appreciation are certainlygo two ways, because I really
appreciate the opportunity to be on yourshow. It's amazing. I was thinking
this morning how many years I've beenlistening to the radio gardening shows. I
think I started listening to Denny McEwenfrom practically his first show, Harry Selbman

(30:45):
Sulivan too many many years ago,and it's been you know, a respectable
part of my education over the yearsis those of you who do the gardening
shows on the radio, because youhave such great information. So I very
much appreciate you too. Thank you, and you add to that. Now
you got one last thing, andyou know what I'm going to ask you.
Christmas is three weeks away. What'syour early prediction. It's looking unlikely

(31:10):
that we're going to have a whiteChristmas this year. I'm looking unlikely for
a good part of the country.But then it turns cold and colder and
snowier after that as we get intoJanuary. You heard it, Ron Rothis

so stick with us and then betweenthen we're taking your calls at eight
hundred eight two three eight two fivefive. Don't forget our website. It's
Ron Wilson online dot com. Weare posting this week our plan of the
week, the Real Christmas Tree.If you're on the fence, artificial reel
artificial reel pull that up and reada lots of great information and just trying

(34:12):
to help you to decide to goto the real Christmas tree. I'll tell
you what, yesterday I went byprobably two or three tree lots that I
know are there on a regular basis, been doing it for a long time,
and the folks out already picking outtheir tree. Every year this has
gotten quicker and quicker. And eventhough Thanksgiving is a little bit earlier this
year, you know it's the earlyone and you get the late one.

(34:35):
Boy, there was a lot offolks out yesterday already starting to pick out
there Christmas trees. So good foryou. I'm glad to see that.
And you know, again, likeI say, you might not want one
to put off too long getting outthere to pick that out, because I
know last year we went was alater Thanksgiving if I'm not mistaken, that
weekend, and boy was amazing howmany trees they had already gone through in

(34:55):
a lot of the lots. Sobe sure and keep that in mind.
But again, if you want tolearn more about it, go to our
website at Ron Wilson online dot com. Also, you know I always talk
about amarillas and paper whites for theholiday season. Amarillis being a great gift
because you can buy them in thekits the box. You just wrap the
box, give them to somebody.Remember when you look when you buy the

(35:16):
box or the Amarillis kids, openthe box up and take a look inside.
Make sure it hasn't started growing.If it's kind of, you know,
maybe a half an inch that startedto grow a little bit, that's
fine. But if it's already gota little bit of a neck on it,
kind of curling around, and I'dlook for one it's maybe a little
bit more dormant. I've taken themlike that before when they're on sale after
the holidays, and they do okay, sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.

(35:39):
But just make sure it's a littlebit tighter. And that's all depending
on how well they store those awaywhile they're hanging on to them, keeping
them a little bit cooler. Butpoint being is the Amarillis and paper white
kids are absolutely wonderful Christmas gifts.And I always say it's the two thank
you. You get a thank youfor giving it to them, and you'll
get another thank you six or eightweeks down the road, and then Amarilla

(35:59):
starts to fly or two or threeweeks down the row and the paper whites
start the flower. If you arebuying Amarilla's kits this weekend looking for the
hot for them to be in flowerin three weeks for the Christmas probably even't
gonna happen. Takes about six weeksfor him to start to show color,
so you won't get anything till afterthe first of the year. But remember
I like doing that. As amatter of fact, I buy myself kits

(36:22):
so that you start now and doone again about three weeks and another one
about three weeks to carry you throughthe winter season. Jerry Rose, our
giant pumpkin grower up in northeast Ohio, sent me a text this week with
a picture and said, look,I was listening to your show. Now
look what I have. Had awhole table of Amarilli's kits that he had
bought that they're going to use forpotting up at home as well as giving

(36:43):
away for gifts as well. Soit's a good one. Get out to
your local independent garden centers and graba few of those. The paper whites.
Some folks like the smell. Somefolks don't like the smell or the
fragrance of paper whites. I do. It can be very pungent, so
be cautious there. But they flowerman. You put those things in a
little gravel, a little water.Touching the bottom of those pots are the

(37:04):
bulbs. Those things shoot up ina hurry two weeks maybe three, and
you got them in flour. Ifyou have problems with them falling over,
a lot of folks that get tallto kind of fall over, don't forget.
You can use alcohol as in boozeb oze like gin, probably on
the best vodka something like that.When you're watering adding water to the base

(37:28):
of those paper white kits. It'sonly for the paper whites, not Amerillus,
just the paper whites. Just puta splash of that in there.
That alcohol seems to keep the greengrowth more stunted, a little bit smaller,
so it doesn't get so floppy.But yet you still get the great
flowers. So it's a great wayto keep them a little bit smaller and
keeping them cooler rather than warmer andcooler temperatures. You can actually delay the

(37:52):
flowering a little bit by keeping alittle bit cooler. If they start to
come along too fast, put themin a room where it's much cooler than
the average room, and then you'llsee him slow down and bring them back
out. So it could be alot of fun doing that too. But
again, a Marilla's and paper whiteKids actually very very cool gifts for the
holiday season and cool for you tohave for great colors and fragrances over the

(38:14):
winter season. Eight hundred eight twothree eight two five five. You know
in our local area, when Italk about plants, when I talk about
Steve Foltz from the Cincinnti Potanical gardensotalk about Bill Henrys from Clein Nurseries,
and I talk about Kevin O'Dell,and Kevin is with us this morning.
Good morning, sir, Good morning, mister Wilson. Are you in a
tree stand somewhere? Monday morning?Is opening days working? All right?

(38:38):
That's why I can talk on Monday, got it. But I have been
in tree stands this year in NewMexico and then Wyoming, Montana, so
I've I've had my time in treestands. So now it's now it's local
time. Now it's local time.Yea. It's good for you. Do

(38:58):
you have a great Thanksgiving? Ihad a wonderful Thanksgiving. You know,
smaller family unit, but just veryrelaxing. You know, barely got out
of my chair. You know,I'm not allowed to accept to do dishes.
Yeah, yeah, that's kind ofa rule around their home. But
that's okay. You know. Sowhen Kevin Odell walks up to the Thanksgiving

(39:21):
table, what besides the ham andthe turkey, what do you focus on?
The cranberry relish and the oyster dressing. Oh, oyster dressing, Yes,
sir, I like it. That'sa tradition there, and since my
grandson's been liking oysters, the oystersget doubled up in the recipe. O

(39:44):
good for you. Yeah, Iliked. I like cooked. I love
those and stuffing. I think it'soutstanding. Yes it is. And everything
was good. You know. Ronyou sit around, you think of what
today is, and I think it'sthe most It's my favorite holiday, and
I think we have much to bethankful for in our country with our families.

(40:05):
There's some division in the world,but we still always have that gathering
of the family, put the politicsaside and just have fun and relax and
enjoy and give thanks for everything wehave in our in our world. Bill,
You're yeah, I agree with you. One hundred percent. And you
know, and again I give thanksfor you, Kevin O'Dell, for all
you do for our industry locally andUH and other states as well. You

(40:27):
seem to pop up everywhere. Aright look and there's Kevin O'Dell. But
UH, for all that you've doneover all these years and you're continuing on,
which is a great thing. Butwe can't thank you enough for all
that you do for for this industryas well. Well. Thank you all.
And you were an inspiration for meto buy another bottle of vodka.
Great. I hope Sarah doesn't puttoo much vodka in for the paper.

(40:50):
