Mom, No, Mom wouldn't let me cook anything on the
Blackstone for Thanksgiving? Really crazy? Well, I don't know, no way,
some kind of special or DIRV or something. You cook
two pounds of bacon.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Maybe, yeah, now Mom would not allow that. Okay, Now

Speaker 2 (02:47):
Not potato salad? She'll take it, making the famous stuffing? Okay,

from my dad's mom, from you know, over in Europe.

So there. Yeah, well I'm just saying we do. We
try to do the same. We can never cook as
as well as your mother. I'm it's great cook can
My mom does a pretty good job too. I never

had any years either. You always do to bring that
potato salad. Try it.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
I've threatened you to bring it in here. You're always
is an open invite to the house all the time,
and you never show up.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
You know what, I can see the look on your
family's face of Thanksgiving Day about two thirty. Well, why
would they make my mom make potatoes on Thanksgiving Day?
I don't know. Potato salad is a summer thing. Oh
it is not a warm potato salad.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
It's still warm, but still it's you should make me
should make mashed potatoes, okay, but not.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Thanksgiving? Okay, Well we'll have a pole. Would you rather
eat potato salad or mashed potatoes? I would have both Okay,
unbelievable anyway, you know, you face on your family's face.
When if I would show up on Thanksgiving, that would
be I would like to see it, Joe. Joe invited him. Oh,
(04:24):
we have to, let's say at the kids table. Yeah great,
so well that would be worth it. I think, yeah,
it would be. So did you see the big news?
I thought I sent it to you. What is that
The Farmer's Almanac is going to stop printing? Is that
the sign of the times? That's what they said. I mean,
(04:44):
is that we're going to just keep seeing that more
and more.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
You think there was that the they're not even going
to maintain the online version anymore either.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Oh they're not. No, like they're done. They're done. Oh
I just read that said. I thought you meant they
were just only going to do a No.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
They're bored hard copy the whole whole thing up two
and whatever years. Which is that the older Yeah, the
Ben Franklin one.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
See. I just read that, and I thought you meant
they were just gonna stop printing it.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
No, they're they're gonna stop printing it, and they're gonna
stop maintaining the website. Done deal they're done. They're just saying,
you know what, we can't we're not making any more
money on this, so we're boarding it up.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Gotta do what you gotta don That's that's an institution.
I was going to say, talk about something's been around
for it. I mean, your grandparents, think about it, My grandparents, grandparents, grandparents,
That's what I'm saying. But you know, realistic and your grandparents,
their parents said, where Ben Franklin's rolling in his grave?
It's a bad Yeah, but you know, if they can't
(05:49):
make money at it. Yeah, and I guess today's Yeah,
I guess today folks don't read like they used to
hard copy things.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
And well, now and now what's now? How's the TV
news going to predict the weather?
Speaker 1 (06:02):
It's right, because that's that was always.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
The I was always somewhere around either one of those
came up with around mid October, it was here's the prediction.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
From the whole numbers for two weeks. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yeah, I guess they're going to figure it out themselves
with their own weather people that they spend all the
money on, or have to look at the wooly worms.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yeah, and then let Joe explain to him that doesn't count. Yeah,
it doesn't matter. I always get on him about that.

lights off. And they needed one of the girls trigger
(08:10):
treated anymore. Yeah, they're too old for that. And they
were working anyone. They were working anyway. So it was
Friday night. So how did you come up with candy?
How did I come up with candy? Yeah? Did you
go buy it? Where did I get candy? I was
I'm just asking. I didn't get candy, Okay, it's kind
of a roundabout way to see if he came up
(08:31):
on a wing candy.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
No, I didn't. I didn't have any candy whatsoever. Since
it was it was it was Friday feeling and I
wasn't feeling well to begin with. But uh, and we
didn't have football, so I went to uh the sports bar,
hung out for a couple hours, and then after eight
o'clock when Hallyween was over, I went home.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Who needs candy? If you can hang out at the
sports bar, yeah, I have a couple of beers, have
some wings there. You go watch a little football since
I didn't have to work football. Good So yeah that's
what I did. Ye, good for you. Yep, that was
my Halloween. Good for you. Did you put anything out
in the yard? No, no blow ups or anything? Okay,
(09:15):
any pumpkins. No house was dark, okay, just curious. No,
no decorations, nothing got it. So it's all right.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
So the website has a has a couple of things
from I guess the last things from Buggy Joe for
the for the year, yes, or the at least for
this year.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yes. Rita's got a recipe kind of well he kind
of keeps get they keep going, extension keeps going. Yeah,

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Rita's recipe is kind of religious today is but it's
something to do with eggs.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
So check that out, be sure and check it out.
That's all we're going to leave it has something to
do with eggs.
Speaker 2 (09:58):

Speaker 1 (10:03):
How was how was her?
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (10:05):
How is her witch's brew? I haven't talked to her. Wow,
So I don't know. That's why I was hoping we
kind of find out get.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
A little summer, because you know, Santa is able to
hit every house in one night, She's able to do
the same thing with that new broom she's.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Got, I would think. So that's why I was just
trying to get a little update from her. But we're
not sure. A little tired to see what. Yeah, how
the morning brings.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Plan of the week and maillis what we're getting into
that season where ammarillis where it's time to uh, it's
time to start talking about holiday holiday flowers, flowers and stuff.
So the amarillis of course.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
With the amarillas, we we're talking about it now because
if they're out there available for and you will find
them available if you want them in flower for the holidays,
for Christmas and New Year's start now, you got to
get them started now. And so that's why we went
ahead and put that on there early. See you get
a quick start on that. And now like I said,
the catalogs and all and your local independent garden centers.
I should have them all in stock at this stage.
(11:04):
So if you want some for early and then you
know what, go back later and buy something when you
get closer to Christmas because they usually put them on
sale run around. Then we'll get those for the winter color.
Very cool, but yeah, it tells you all about how
to grow them and how to get them to reflour
again as well. I think all the informations in there cool.
All right? Is that it? That's it for me? Are
(11:25):
you sure? Yep? All right? Until next week? Until next
week and enjoy if some of that white stuff does
come down on Monday, enjoy. I didn't say what it was,
just a little mix in there, maybe first little taste. Nope,
(11:46):
just remember it'll be seventy degrees by time by next week,
couple days later next weekend, so just hang in there.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
Welcome back. You're in the garden with Ron Wilson again,
that toll free number eight hundred eight two three eight
two five five talking about yardning moving our way? Can
you believe this? We're right on through the November, uh,
you know, and Joe and I always joke every year
because we always say, you know, once you get to Halloween,
then it's Thanksgiving right around the corner, and then Christmas,
(15:28):
New Year's and the next thing you know, we're talking
about Valentine's Day again. So we just keep right on
rolling through it, of course, and with Dan's birthday, and
we'll have to make sure we got to get that in.
And that's March right, March sixteenth, sixteen. I knew that
March is sixteenth, and we'll we'll make sure we keep
you up to date with that as well. He does
accept the gift cards, checks, cash, whatever, whatever it may be. Anyway,
(15:54):
talk about yard at eight hundred, fall on bills, small
on mark bills as he would prefer. Yes, eight were
at eight two three, eight two five five. Lots going
on right now. As a matter of fact, the big
weather change is Joe and I were mentioning early in
our area, and I think it's covering most of the Midwest.
As it goes through here, we're gonna have a big
change over the next couple days. We've enjoyed some really
(16:15):
nice weather this week. I mean we're talking sixties. I
don't know if it reached seventy or not, but it
was in the sixties, upper fifties. Nighttime, not too bad.
It's been beautiful here. Yeah, it's been absolutely gorgeous. Got
some rainfall. That's a good thing. We need a rainfall.
Continue to have the rainfalls timely ones. If we could
do that through the rest of the fall, would be outstanding.
But some rainfalls. But tomorrow and Monday, it looks like
(16:38):
some pretty cooler weather down low forties. I think forty
four is the high. And there's a little thing in
there called wintry mix possible depending on where the temper
sailtimaters are or air temperatures are. But the thing to
remember is this. I checked the soil temperatures here last
night before I went to bed, and it was right
around fifty four degrees, right. So when you got soil
(17:01):
temperatures that are still running about fifty four degrees now,
it doesn't take long for the soil temps to start
to go down when the air temperatures go down and
stay consistently low. And as a matter of fact, you'll
watch when we've got warm days and cooler nights, the
soil temps it could be fifty six during the day,
drop down to fifty forty forty eight, forty nine degrees,
(17:22):
and then come right back up the next day. So
it'll be there. So this wintry mix that may be
coming through, first of all, I doubt that anything's gonna stick.
And the asphalt and conquering things like that are even
warmer than the soil, so don't worry. Yeah, don't worry
about that. But you start looking at plants, and I
got a Brazilian emails from folks yesterday saying, oh my gosh,
(17:46):
it's gonna have this go. What do I do now?
And this is nothing now obviously, if you have tropical
plants outside still and we still have a couple that
we had to bring in yesterday, that I would get inside, obviously,
because they they don't want that forty forty degree temperature
and a little bit snow falling down on them when
it drops into the thirties, all right, But other than that,
(18:07):
you know, we just let it ride. We're good to go.
A lot of leaves are gonna get knocked down. That's
a good thing, because you get this wintery mix with
a little bit of wet snow, a little bit of
ice on there and rain. That could be bad when
you've got leaves still on the trees. You know, I
start to look around our area now, and I'll tell
you what. Last week was spectacular. We just had an explosion,
especially the reds, red maples, burning bush things like that.
(18:31):
Now we're starting to see, at least I am more
of the oranges and the golden colors really starting to shine.
And you know, one of the plants I don't talk
too much about as far as fall colors, is a
service berry am lank here, But boy, the service berries
now they get that kind of a yellow than an orange,
a little bit of a red ten in there. Really
nice standout, I mean, and I'm looking around right now,
(18:53):
service berries are really putting on a nice show. But again,
leaves are falling. This still really start to push them along.
The only thing left out there that still has green leaves,
even the oaks are starting to drop with some color
are the pears, the ornamental pears that are now invasive
in our area and you don't plant them anymore, not
(19:13):
for sale, and of course honeysuckle. So you look around
right now and you want to see the invasive plants
that are out there, and you know why they're invasive, Well,
they last a long time. They last. Their last ones
that lose the leaves and the winter fall first ones
will put them out in the springtime. But that's a
lot of times when the pairs wind up having breakage,
splitting and things like that when we get into situation
(19:36):
with high winds obviously, but the wintery mixes of snow's ice, rain,
and they still have the leaves on them, and they
still do in our area, so be cautious about that.
But otherwise, as we go through the next couple of
days of this really not a whole lot you need
to do, we'll talk more about that. We've got lots
of tips to share. Taking your calls eight hundred eight

Speaker 1 (21:59):
Welcome back. You're in the garden with Ron Wilson again.
That tot free number eight hundred eight two three eight
two five five taken your calls, any questions you have
or maybe a tips. You know, I always love and
we we do this a lot, especially during the winter time.
Updates from everybody. As far as the vegetables, what grew
in your garden that was exceptionally you know, did an
(22:19):
exceptional job or didn't do a very good job either way,
because you know, I always look at that and say,
you know, we can't grow everything. I can't grow every
tomato this out there, neither can you. But other folks
do you know? We all try something different every year
and if it's successful for you, let somebody else know.
About it. That's how you know you can. You can
go through and read the name and read the description
(22:40):
and all of that, and a lot of times that's
how we try new varieties. But when you hear from folks,
let's say, you know, I grew this last year, I've
grown this for a couple of years, you know, and
this thing is consistently done well, or it's a bummer,
I've tried it twice, it just doesn't work. It's good information,
and then we all share that with each other. As
(23:00):
a matter of fact, I even suggest that if you
have a favorite local independent garden center that you shop with,
that you go there for your gardening supplies or your
plants or whatever it may be. And you have plants
like that, maybe something that you really do like, but
you can't find it anywhere that you've you went and
bought the seed or you got the mail order from
somewhere and you can't find anywhere else, tell them about it.
(23:23):
We take We we encourage our customers to, hey, if
you see something you know something on here though, or
we don't grow it, and you you know, think we
should and uh, you know it does well, let us
know and we'll we lots of times add products and
plants to our lists for the upcoming year based on
what our customers are saying. You know, we listen to
(23:45):
the customers, and your local independent garden centers are going
to do that. They're going to listen and say, wow,
you know, if this works, let's get it in and
or let's grow it or do whatever, and then you
can tell other people about it and spread it around.
But sharing that information is always great and I highly
encourage you to do that. Sometimes I get folks to say, well,
I'm not going to call your show and say, hey,
(24:06):
I grew Kellogg's breakfast tomato and I didn't get any
production down of it. It was good tomato, but didn't get
very tomato. Mi mani tomatoes. Well tell us that so
that we know that's good information. Takes a minute. You
talk to me, and when we're done, make the notes
and we move forward. That's a good thing. So you know,
feel free to share your information of goods and bads,
things that you may have done that worked for you,
(24:27):
because I, again I always say there's more than one
way to garden successfully. In some cases, I'm pretty strict
about what to do, but in you know, like an
insect control or disease or something like that. You've got
to be a little more specific. But otherwise there's always
more than one way to garden, and it's fun hearing
the other ways that you do it that are legit,
(24:49):
all right. I have had every now and in somebody
call and say, oh, I know, to get rid of
them weeds, I get my motor oil, and it's like click, No,
I don't think so. But anyway, we love hearing from you,
so keep that in mind. And I do you know,
I get a ton of emails that are like that, saying, hey, Ron,
we tried this and that we'll call us on the
show and share with us as well. We love to
(25:11):
hear your lovely voice talking about yarning at eight hundred
eight two three eight two five five, and as I mentioned,
the Winter remix coming in. You know a lot of
folks scrambling, not sure what to do with this stage.
You know, really you don't have to do anything. Just
kind of ride through the next couple of days, you know,
get out there and keep cleaning up, and you do
whatever you're doing right now, and then we're gonna go
(25:33):
through this for a couple of days. And I'm looking
down the road and it's right back up into the
sixties again. You can continue to plant right on through
the fall season for the most part, tree shrubs, evergreens,
you know, things like that, continue to plant right up
until the holiday season, as long as the weather is
conducive to get out there and plant. Watering is going
(25:54):
to be the key. Timely watering comes through great, but again,
build on it, don't care out on it. Always consider
those rainfalls a bonus. Unless it's an all dare, then
you can count on it as being part of the
of your watering process. But otherwise, water is going to
be key, especially for the evergreens. I don't think I've
done one show, maybe not even the entire year this
(26:17):
year that we're not stressing the fact of how important
even moisture in the ground is for evergreens, especially as
they're first getting established, first two or three or four
years very important, and then arbraviding and all of them.
You know, you get into a dry spell, you've got
to water. It's very important for evergreens. They're a different
beast than dealing with a lot of the leafy plants
that are out there in your landscape. So we got
(26:39):
to keep that in mind. Key for all of these
plants is going to be the watering. I even had
a landscaper send me an email this week saying, we're
planting a bunch of perennials for customer. You know, how
long would you suggest that we do keep watering these perennials,
And that my point was at least through Thanksgiving making
sure they've got good even moisture. And from that point on,
(27:01):
a lot of times the temperatures are cool enough, moisture
stays in the ground. Unless it's really warm and dry,
you may be okay, maybe one more watering, but at
least through Thanksgiving and then start to look at it
at that point and make a calculation. And by the
Christmas obviously we kind of put everything away and we're
done with it. Speaking of which, when this weather drops down,
(27:22):
like we're gonna have tomorrow and Monday in our area
where it's gonna freeze, make sure you take that hose
off of the spigot. Don't leave it on there. As
a matter of fact, if you're listening to me right
now and your rose is still attached, and guess what
mine is, But I plan on taking it off later
on today, but you know, make sure you disconnect that
(27:44):
leave it there because you're gonna need it. Remember my
last two things to put away is the garden spade,
maybe the rake, but the garden spade, the saw knife
always goes around with me and the hose, so I
can keep watering right to the very end as needed.
But make sure you take it off that space get
with the cold weather coming through, and then put it
back on again, but again plenty of time. The only
(28:05):
thing I worry about are tropicals right now. Make sure
you get those back inside the house. I do worry
about the trees and still have leaves on them, like
the pears. You know that they only because of the
fact they're gonna snap could snap. They get a lot
of weight on them. So keep a watch on those
and go from there. And the color right now in
our area. Don't know about yours finishing up, but just
has been spectacular, quick but spectacular over the last couple
(28:28):
of weeks. And as I mentioned before, service berry. Talk
about service berry. Service berry is one of the most
grown landscape shrubs small tree, large shrub. I think in
the nursery numbers. We checked that a couple of years
ago and extremely popular. And the thing about service berry
is you get the flower in the spring, you get
(28:49):
the edible berry, which is absolutely wonderful. Pick right off
of there, put it in your cereal. It's outstanding. Use
a multi stem tree, smaller type tree, and then of
course good green during the growing season and some nice
fall color. Usually not spectacular, but it's enough this year
that golden with some orange in it as well, really
(29:10):
standing out to me. I thought it looks looks outstanding.
And I'll tell you another one that I noticed yesterday
with good color and I rarely mentioned it is the
grafted lilac trees. You know where you get the miss
Kim lilac on a on a trunk, so you've got
the lilac at the very top showing some good orangey
color as well. For the fall, these little smaller heads
(29:34):
which were absolutely outstanding, but the service bury unbelievable. But again,
don't let the two days of cold weather fool you.
You got plenty of time to keep on planting. If
you've got things sitting out that you haven't planted yet
and you can't get them planted today, it's not the
weather you get them plant It's not gonna bother them
tomorrow the next day, that's no big deal. Slide them
(29:55):
up by the house, by the foundation. They'll be fine.
If you want to put them in the garage or
unheated shed, that's fine. But just slide them up by
the house, let them sit there for a couple of days,
come back next week and get them in the ground.
That's all you got to do. Pretty simple, and Cannas
Dallius things like that. If they haven't started to die
back yet, My canners are still green as can be.
(30:16):
If they haven't started to die back, I'm going to
just leave them alone. Like I said, so aw, temperatures
are warm enough. It's not going to freeze. So I
think we're good to go. Let mother nature kill those back.
But if you want to dig them up today and
store them away, you know, don't forget to let them dry,
let them cure a little bit before you store them away,
and the underheated garage or shed works out very nicely
(30:36):
until you're ready to put them put them in the
basement or wherever you wind up storing them. But again,
don't let it cause you into a panic. I seriously
doubt the ground's going to freeze in your area, at
least not in our area because it's just way too
warm right now. Before we take a break, Dick from Dayton,
good morning. I am great, mister Dick from Dayton. How
(30:58):
are you, sir?
Speaker 6 (31:00):
I'm fighting this done. Uh. Every year I get to
Sinnus when the weather changes, you.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Know, yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 6 (31:07):
Yeah. Today, Oh, I wanted to take a moment in
history to salute my dad's family and all the veterans
you know that serve their country. And uh, I learned
a lot from my dad, so i'm music and the
value of life and going to school. But I want
(31:29):
to salute them for what they've done for me, and
we need to and I'm proud that they have served
this country, you know.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
But uh, yeah, well said, well said.
Speaker 6 (31:42):
And I'll say another thing. Yes, the Bengals need a
defensive coordinator, you think, so.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
They need everything defensive, they need new I don't know,
I don't get it.
Speaker 6 (31:54):
I thought they won that game, you know.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
They did. The offense did offense one, but the defense
let them down. So I don't know. There's it's the Bengals.
What can I say?
Speaker 6 (32:07):
What can you say?
Speaker 1 (32:08):
That's right? And who's at the bottom of the list
on that in that division, your favorite Brownies and Bengals. Yeah,
right at the bottom.
Speaker 6 (32:18):
They just need to revamp the troops, get some get
some winners in there, you know.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Yep, they need to bring you into the locker room
right before the game. Let you fire them up a
little bit, well, play bring our band right, you can
play a little music and give them a little inspirational
talk and send them out to the field.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
Yeah, you go buck Eyes today.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Go buck Eyes. You think they'll I think they'll do
a number on the boiler Makers. I hope so.
Speaker 6 (32:43):
Yeah, I hope so too. Have a good week, all.

Speaker 1 (34:38):
Welcome back. You're in the garden with Ron Wilson again
that toll free number eight hundred eight two three eight
two five five talking about yardening to Ohio, we go. Greg,
Good morning, Good morning, good morning.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
I have a question.
Speaker 7 (34:50):
I top dressed in over sated a portion of my yard,
and it really about mid September. We got a big
rain afterwards, and I don't see much growth. I didn't
put any fertilizer down, but I'm wondering if I should.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
What do you recommend you?
Speaker 5 (35:10):
Still?
Speaker 1 (35:11):
You still have an existing lawn, right, and this was
just some overseating.
Speaker 7 (35:15):
Yeah, dress overseaed. Yeah, where the top dressing portion portions
are doesn't look like it terminated.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
All right? So did you put the seed down first
and then top dress over that? No? Okay, all right.
You know, the thing of it is that if you
didn't have good even moisture in the ground, although you'd
had the one rainfall, if you didn't keep good even moisture,
there's a good chance as seed just never germinated, so
it can still be there, just gonna sit there dormant
(35:45):
at this stage and now become dormant seating. Uh So,
why would treat the lawn still as you normally would?
And we're at that point now for that final feeding,
So I would go ahead and feed the lawn. As
a matter of fact, do you have any lawn for
it on hand, No, buy the starter fertilizer. It's still
gonna give you about Yeah, it's gonna give you about
(36:07):
twenty five percent nitrogen. It's gonna have a little phosphorus,
little pot ash in there. But do that one. It'll
still feed your existing lawn, and we'll keep some nutrients
there for that new seed as it starts to germinate
in the springtime. But right now it's gonna be dormant seeding.
If if by chance, you know, this is a long
time for that seed to sit there, you're probably gonna
(36:28):
lose a little bit of it. You could come back
mid to late February, Greg and just maybe at a
quarter of the normal rate, do some slight overseeding in
it one more time, just to be sure.
Speaker 7 (36:42):
All right, Can I Can I still play landscaping?
Speaker 1 (36:45):
Oh? Absolutely? We got a long way to go as
far as planting trees and shrubs and things like that.
We'll go right up until Christmas, as long as the
weather's good. What about hostas now in a one gallon
or larger absolutely smaller pots. I've probably been a little
bit more hesitant this late in the season, but one
(37:06):
gallon are larger, not an issue. And make sure again, Greg,
watering is gonna be key, especially through Thanksgiving and maybe
one or two more times after that, and then you
should be good to go. Multr men going into the
winter and they should be fine.
Speaker 7 (37:20):
Okay, Well, thank you very much, hard sorry, sorry about
the dog noises.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
That's okay, good talking with you. And again great point.
We've got plenty of time to plant. As a matter
of fact, spring flowering bulbs, daffodils, tulips, crocus, all of
those can be planted now. I like doing it now
versus earlier in the season. Uh So, now's a great time.
And of course if you get out to the garden
centers a lot of times as we get closer to
(37:44):
the Thanksgiving and the holiday season, whatever spring flowering bulbs
are left over, a lot of times they go on
sale and you can scarf those things up at a
better price. And then you get lots of daffodils, uh
you know, and things like that that are dear and
gritter proof, and and they get those planted now and
you start to benefit from those. Of course, next spring, again,
(38:06):
watering is going to be important. Get them done, planning,
get the sprinkler set up or irrigation. Most irrigations are
turned off by now, but sprinkler set up. Make sure
you water them in well, a little bald food in
there for you. I love Aspoma's bulb tone. I think
it's one of the best ones out there for you.
Watered in and you're good to go. Also, when you're
picking these up, all right, grab a few extra especially
(38:27):
of the minor bulbs, the crocus and the snow drops
and things like that, and grab yourself some five inch
four inch five inch six inch plant pots. Get the
shallow ones. Doesn't need to be very deep, some good
potting soil. Put some good potting soil in there, with
a little bit of baldfood with it, and just stick
those bulbs. You plant them a little bit closer than
(38:49):
you would outside, because you're just creating this little show
in the pot. Stick your bulbs down in there. They're
not gonna be as deep as they normally would be
if they were planted in the ground. It's okay, we
don't care at this stage. But we're gonna pot them
up all right, and then we're gonna water them in well,
and we're gonna keep them outside for a while until
we get into some really cold weather closer to Christmas,
and then you're gonna bring those pots and put them
(39:11):
in that unheated garage, unheated shed, uh, maybe down a window. Well.
Water them as needed through the winter, maybe once a
month or so, and when they start to grow in
the springtime, bring those out you and you may have
to use a little water soluble fertilizer like Miracle Grow whatever.
But now you've got these pots of spring flowering bulbs
that you can bring in your house and use them
(39:31):
or give them away for gifts or whatever during the
spring season. Let them grow in the let them flower
and grow in the pot. When they start to turn yellow,
you can take them out of the pot and plant
them in the ground where you would use them in
your landscape, and then they come up for years and
years after that. So you know, it's a great way
to do that. And they're typically again all on sale
(39:55):
going up to the Thanksgiving weekend because they want to
get rid of those get the get out of the inventory,
so you can save a little bit and light up
the spring at the same time, both in containers and
doing it in the ground as well. Cincinnati Botanical Garden
Zoo always does a great job with a lot of
their larger containers above ground that they will go and
do a mixed spring ball planter. Well they'll put daffodils
(40:18):
down deep, some tulips over top of those, some of
the minor bulbs above those, and then they flower at
different times and they come up through each other, and
it's you know, don't plant on top and try to
work your way so the bulbs aren't exactly over top
of each other that they've got room to come up.
But you can create this spring flowering planter mix that
(40:40):
they do, and they have them all around the Botanical
Garden and zoo and it's absolutely gorgeous. And then they
take them all out when they're all done flowering, and
then they come back and freshen them up, and then
they do all their tropical plants and their annual plantings
for the summer season. So that's something you can do
as well. But again take advantage of some good prices
on these things. This time of the year great time
(41:01):
to plant and get yourself some spring flowering bulbs in
the ground or in containers ready to go to light
up your spring next spring. So take advantage of those please,
And it's an easy, easy thing to do. And speaking
of bulbs, our plan of the week this week is Amarillis.
And the reason I chose Amarillis is our plant of
the week this week is that now you're starting to
(41:21):
see them for sale at the garden centers. You're seeing
them for sale the catalogs and all showing you all
their Amarillis selections, and there's up geez, there are a
ton of Amarillis bulbs, colors and doubles and singles, and
oh my gosh, I can't believe how many Amarillis types
are out there for you to buy to pot up
and create nice holiday color. If you're doing them for
(41:42):
the holidays and Amarillis, let me tell you something. If
you're sitting there saying I can't grow house plan, I
can't grow anything. Amarillis are a piece of cake. Amarillis
and paper white bulbs for the holidays, piece of cake.
But point being is it takes about six to eight
weeks when they start to grow you pot them up.
It's a flower. Where does that put you six weeks
(42:04):
from now? That puts you right at before Christmas season.
So you want to get him going now, if you
want them for the holiday, Christmas in New Year's color.
Gotta pot them up now, so to all flower by
that time, not the paper whites. They only take about
three weeks or so, wait a little bit longer on
those and then buy some extras. So it should be
planning them up on about a three or three weeks
(42:24):
staggering to give you winter color all through the winter season.
But learn more about him on our website at Ron
Wilson online dot com. Coming up next, Rita Hikenfeld will

The Farmer's Almanac is going to stop printing? Is that
the sign of the times? That's what they said. I mean,
(04:44):
is that we're going to just keep seeing that more

came up with around mid October, it was here's the prediction.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
From the whole numbers for two weeks. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:13):

with their own weather people that they spend all the
money on, or have to look at the wooly worms.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (10:05):
How is her witch's brew? I haven't talked to her. Wow,
So I don't know. That's why I was hoping we
kind of find out get.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
A little summer, because you know, Santa is able to
hit every house in one night, She's able to do
the same thing with that new broom she's.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Got, I would think. So that's why I was just
trying to get a little update from her. But we're
not sure. A little tired to see what. Yeah, how
the morning brings.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Plan of the week and maillis what we're getting into
that season where ammarillis where it's time to uh, it's
time to start talking about holiday holiday flowers, flowers and stuff.
So the amarillis of course.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
With the amarillas, we we're talking about it now because
if they're out there available for and you will find
them available if you want them in flower for the holidays,
for Christmas and New Year's start now, you got to
get them started now. And so that's why we went
ahead and put that on there early. See you get
a quick start on that. And now like I said,
the catalogs and all and your local independent garden centers.
I should have them all in stock at this stage.
(11:04):
So if you want some for early and then you
know what, go back later and buy something when you
get closer to Christmas because they usually put them on
sale run around. Then we'll get those for the winter color.
Very cool, but yeah, it tells you all about how
to grow them and how to get them to reflour
again as well. I think all the informations in there cool.
All right? Is that it? That's it for me? Are
(11:25):
you sure? Yep? All right? Until next week? Until next
week and enjoy if some of that white stuff does
come down on Monday, enjoy. I didn't say what it was,

Speaker 1 (15:08):
Welcome back. You're in the garden with Ron Wilson again,
that toll free number eight hundred eight two three eight
two five five talking about yardning moving our way? Can
you believe this? We're right on through the November, uh,
you know, and Joe and I always joke every year
because we always say, you know, once you get to Halloween,
then it's Thanksgiving right around the corner, and then Christmas,
(15:28):
New Year's and the next thing you know, we're talking
about Valentine's Day again. So we just keep right on
rolling through it, of course, and with Dan's birthday, and
we'll have to make sure we got to get that in.
And that's March right, March sixteenth, sixteen. I knew that
March is sixteenth, and we'll we'll make sure we keep
you up to date with that as well. He does
accept the gift cards, checks, cash, whatever, whatever it may be. Anyway,
(15:54):
talk about yard at eight hundred, fall on bills, small
on mark bills as he would prefer. Yes, eight were
at eight two three, eight two five five. Lots going
on right now. As a matter of fact, the big
weather change is Joe and I were mentioning early in
our area, and I think it's covering most of the Midwest.
As it goes through here, we're gonna have a big
change over the next couple days. We've enjoyed some really
(16:15):
nice weather this week. I mean we're talking sixties. I
don't know if it reached seventy or not, but it
was in the sixties, upper fifties. Nighttime, not too bad.
It's been beautiful here. Yeah, it's been absolutely gorgeous. Got
some rainfall. That's a good thing. We need a rainfall.
Continue to have the rainfalls timely ones. If we could
do that through the rest of the fall, would be outstanding.
But some rainfalls. But tomorrow and Monday, it looks like
(16:38):
some pretty cooler weather down low forties. I think forty
four is the high. And there's a little thing in
there called wintry mix possible depending on where the temper
sailtimaters are or air temperatures are. But the thing to
remember is this. I checked the soil temperatures here last
night before I went to bed, and it was right
around fifty four degrees, right. So when you got soil
(17:01):
temperatures that are still running about fifty four degrees now,
it doesn't take long for the soil temps to start
to go down when the air temperatures go down and
stay consistently low. And as a matter of fact, you'll
watch when we've got warm days and cooler nights, the
soil temps it could be fifty six during the day,
drop down to fifty forty forty eight, forty nine degrees,
(17:22):
and then come right back up the next day. So
it'll be there. So this wintry mix that may be
coming through, first of all, I doubt that anything's gonna stick.
And the asphalt and conquering things like that are even
warmer than the soil, so don't worry. Yeah, don't worry
about that. But you start looking at plants, and I
got a Brazilian emails from folks yesterday saying, oh my gosh,
(17:46):
it's gonna have this go. What do I do now?
And this is nothing now obviously, if you have tropical
plants outside still and we still have a couple that
we had to bring in yesterday, that I would get inside, obviously,
because they they don't want that forty forty degree temperature
and a little bit snow falling down on them when
it drops into the thirties, all right, But other than that,
(18:07):
you know, we just let it ride. We're good to go.
A lot of leaves are gonna get knocked down. That's
a good thing, because you get this wintery mix with
a little bit of wet snow, a little bit of
ice on there and rain. That could be bad when
you've got leaves still on the trees. You know, I
start to look around our area now, and I'll tell
you what. Last week was spectacular. We just had an explosion,
especially the reds, red maples, burning bush things like that.
(18:31):
Now we're starting to see, at least I am more
of the oranges and the golden colors really starting to shine.
And you know, one of the plants I don't talk
too much about as far as fall colors, is a
service berry am lank here, But boy, the service berries
now they get that kind of a yellow than an orange,
a little bit of a red ten in there. Really
nice standout, I mean, and I'm looking around right now,
(18:53):
service berries are really putting on a nice show. But again,
leaves are falling. This still really start to push them along.
The only thing left out there that still has green leaves,
even the oaks are starting to drop with some color
are the pears, the ornamental pears that are now invasive
in our area and you don't plant them anymore, not
(19:13):
for sale, and of course honeysuckle. So you look around
right now and you want to see the invasive plants
that are out there, and you know why they're invasive, Well,
they last a long time. They last. Their last ones
that lose the leaves and the winter fall first ones
will put them out in the springtime. But that's a
lot of times when the pairs wind up having breakage,
splitting and things like that when we get into situation
(19:36):
with high winds obviously, but the wintery mixes of snow's ice, rain,
and they still have the leaves on them, and they
still do in our area, so be cautious about that.
But otherwise, as we go through the next couple of
days of this really not a whole lot you need
to do, we'll talk more about that. We've got lots
of tips to share. Taking your calls eight hundred eight

Speaker 1 (21:59):
Welcome back. You're in the garden with Ron Wilson again.
That tot free number eight hundred eight two three eight
two five five taken your calls, any questions you have
or maybe a tips. You know, I always love and
we we do this a lot, especially during the winter time.
Updates from everybody. As far as the vegetables, what grew
in your garden that was exceptionally you know, did an
(22:19):
exceptional job or didn't do a very good job either way,
because you know, I always look at that and say,
you know, we can't grow everything. I can't grow every
tomato this out there, neither can you. But other folks
do you know? We all try something different every year
and if it's successful for you, let somebody else know.
About it. That's how you know you can. You can
go through and read the name and read the description
(22:40):
and all of that, and a lot of times that's
how we try new varieties. But when you hear from folks,
let's say, you know, I grew this last year, I've
grown this for a couple of years, you know, and
this thing is consistently done well, or it's a bummer,
I've tried it twice, it just doesn't work. It's good information,
and then we all share that with each other. As
(23:00):
a matter of fact, I even suggest that if you
have a favorite local independent garden center that you shop with,
that you go there for your gardening supplies or your
plants or whatever it may be. And you have plants
like that, maybe something that you really do like, but
you can't find it anywhere that you've you went and
bought the seed or you got the mail order from
somewhere and you can't find anywhere else, tell them about it.
(23:23):
We take We we encourage our customers to, hey, if
you see something you know something on here though, or
we don't grow it, and you you know, think we
should and uh, you know it does well, let us
know and we'll we lots of times add products and
plants to our lists for the upcoming year based on
what our customers are saying. You know, we listen to
(23:45):
the customers, and your local independent garden centers are going
to do that. They're going to listen and say, wow,
you know, if this works, let's get it in and
or let's grow it or do whatever, and then you
can tell other people about it and spread it around.
But sharing that information is always great and I highly
encourage you to do that. Sometimes I get folks to say, well,
I'm not going to call your show and say, hey,
(24:06):
I grew Kellogg's breakfast tomato and I didn't get any
production down of it. It was good tomato, but didn't get
very tomato. Mi mani tomatoes. Well tell us that so
that we know that's good information. Takes a minute. You
talk to me, and when we're done, make the notes
and we move forward. That's a good thing. So you know,
feel free to share your information of goods and bads,
things that you may have done that worked for you,
(24:27):
because I, again I always say there's more than one
way to garden successfully. In some cases, I'm pretty strict
about what to do, but in you know, like an
insect control or disease or something like that. You've got
to be a little more specific. But otherwise there's always
more than one way to garden, and it's fun hearing
the other ways that you do it that are legit,
(24:49):
all right. I have had every now and in somebody
call and say, oh, I know, to get rid of
them weeds, I get my motor oil, and it's like click, No,
I don't think so. But anyway, we love hearing from you,
so keep that in mind. And I do you know,
I get a ton of emails that are like that, saying, hey, Ron,
we tried this and that we'll call us on the
show and share with us as well. We love to
(25:11):
hear your lovely voice talking about yarning at eight hundred
eight two three eight two five five, and as I mentioned,
the Winter remix coming in. You know a lot of
folks scrambling, not sure what to do with this stage.
You know, really you don't have to do anything. Just
kind of ride through the next couple of days, you know,
get out there and keep cleaning up, and you do
whatever you're doing right now, and then we're gonna go
(25:33):
through this for a couple of days. And I'm looking
down the road and it's right back up into the
sixties again. You can continue to plant right on through
the fall season for the most part, tree shrubs, evergreens,
you know, things like that, continue to plant right up
until the holiday season, as long as the weather is
conducive to get out there and plant. Watering is going
(25:54):
to be the key. Timely watering comes through great, but again,
build on it, don't care out on it. Always consider
those rainfalls a bonus. Unless it's an all dare, then
you can count on it as being part of the
of your watering process. But otherwise, water is going to
be key, especially for the evergreens. I don't think I've
done one show, maybe not even the entire year this
(26:17):
year that we're not stressing the fact of how important
even moisture in the ground is for evergreens, especially as
they're first getting established, first two or three or four
years very important, and then arbraviding and all of them.
You know, you get into a dry spell, you've got
to water. It's very important for evergreens. They're a different
beast than dealing with a lot of the leafy plants
that are out there in your landscape. So we got
(26:39):
to keep that in mind. Key for all of these
plants is going to be the watering. I even had
a landscaper send me an email this week saying, we're
planting a bunch of perennials for customer. You know, how
long would you suggest that we do keep watering these perennials,
And that my point was at least through Thanksgiving making
sure they've got good even moisture. And from that point on,
(27:01):
a lot of times the temperatures are cool enough, moisture
stays in the ground. Unless it's really warm and dry,
you may be okay, maybe one more watering, but at
least through Thanksgiving and then start to look at it
at that point and make a calculation. And by the
Christmas obviously we kind of put everything away and we're
done with it. Speaking of which, when this weather drops down,
(27:22):
like we're gonna have tomorrow and Monday in our area
where it's gonna freeze, make sure you take that hose
off of the spigot. Don't leave it on there. As
a matter of fact, if you're listening to me right
now and your rose is still attached, and guess what
mine is, But I plan on taking it off later
on today, but you know, make sure you disconnect that
(27:44):
leave it there because you're gonna need it. Remember my
last two things to put away is the garden spade,
maybe the rake, but the garden spade, the saw knife
always goes around with me and the hose, so I
can keep watering right to the very end as needed.
But make sure you take it off that space get
with the cold weather coming through, and then put it
back on again, but again plenty of time. The only
(28:05):
thing I worry about are tropicals right now. Make sure
you get those back inside the house. I do worry
about the trees and still have leaves on them, like
the pears. You know that they only because of the
fact they're gonna snap could snap. They get a lot
of weight on them. So keep a watch on those
and go from there. And the color right now in
our area. Don't know about yours finishing up, but just
has been spectacular, quick but spectacular over the last couple
(28:28):
of weeks. And as I mentioned before, service berry. Talk
about service berry. Service berry is one of the most
grown landscape shrubs small tree, large shrub. I think in
the nursery numbers. We checked that a couple of years
ago and extremely popular. And the thing about service berry
is you get the flower in the spring, you get
(28:49):
the edible berry, which is absolutely wonderful. Pick right off
of there, put it in your cereal. It's outstanding. Use
a multi stem tree, smaller type tree, and then of
course good green during the growing season and some nice
fall color. Usually not spectacular, but it's enough this year
that golden with some orange in it as well, really
(29:10):
standing out to me. I thought it looks looks outstanding.
And I'll tell you another one that I noticed yesterday
with good color and I rarely mentioned it is the
grafted lilac trees. You know where you get the miss
Kim lilac on a on a trunk, so you've got
the lilac at the very top showing some good orangey
color as well. For the fall, these little smaller heads
(29:34):
which were absolutely outstanding, but the service bury unbelievable. But again,
don't let the two days of cold weather fool you.
You got plenty of time to keep on planting. If
you've got things sitting out that you haven't planted yet
and you can't get them planted today, it's not the
weather you get them plant It's not gonna bother them
tomorrow the next day, that's no big deal. Slide them
(29:55):
up by the house, by the foundation. They'll be fine.
If you want to put them in the garage or
unheated shed, that's fine. But just slide them up by
the house, let them sit there for a couple of days,
come back next week and get them in the ground.
That's all you got to do. Pretty simple, and Cannas
Dallius things like that. If they haven't started to die
back yet, My canners are still green as can be.
(30:16):
If they haven't started to die back, I'm going to
just leave them alone. Like I said, so aw, temperatures
are warm enough. It's not going to freeze. So I
think we're good to go. Let mother nature kill those back.
But if you want to dig them up today and
store them away, you know, don't forget to let them dry,
let them cure a little bit before you store them away,
and the underheated garage or shed works out very nicely
(30:36):
until you're ready to put them put them in the
basement or wherever you wind up storing them. But again,
don't let it cause you into a panic. I seriously
doubt the ground's going to freeze in your area, at
least not in our area because it's just way too
warm right now. Before we take a break, Dick from Dayton,
good morning. I am great, mister Dick from Dayton. How
(30:58):
are you, sir?
Speaker 6 (31:00):
I'm fighting this done. Uh. Every year I get to
Sinnus when the weather changes, you.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Know, yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 6 (31:07):
Yeah. Today, Oh, I wanted to take a moment in
history to salute my dad's family and all the veterans
you know that serve their country. And uh, I learned
a lot from my dad, so i'm music and the
value of life and going to school. But I want
(31:29):
to salute them for what they've done for me, and
we need to and I'm proud that they have served
this country, you know.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
But uh, yeah, well said, well said.
Speaker 6 (31:42):
And I'll say another thing. Yes, the Bengals need a
defensive coordinator, you think, so.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
They need everything defensive, they need new I don't know,
I don't get it.
Speaker 6 (31:54):
I thought they won that game, you know.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
They did. The offense did offense one, but the defense
let them down. So I don't know. There's it's the Bengals.
What can I say?
Speaker 6 (32:07):
What can you say?
Speaker 1 (32:08):
That's right? And who's at the bottom of the list
on that in that division, your favorite Brownies and Bengals. Yeah,
right at the bottom.
Speaker 6 (32:18):
They just need to revamp the troops, get some get
some winners in there, you know.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Yep, they need to bring you into the locker room
right before the game. Let you fire them up a
little bit, well, play bring our band right, you can
play a little music and give them a little inspirational
talk and send them out to the field.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
Yeah, you go buck Eyes today.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Go buck Eyes. You think they'll I think they'll do
a number on the boiler Makers. I hope so.

Speaker 1 (34:38):
Welcome back. You're in the garden with Ron Wilson again
that toll free number eight hundred eight two three eight
two five five talking about yardening to Ohio, we go. Greg,
Good morning, Good morning, good morning.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
I have a question.
Speaker 7 (34:50):
I top dressed in over sated a portion of my yard,
and it really about mid September. We got a big
rain afterwards, and I don't see much growth. I didn't
put any fertilizer down, but I'm wondering if I should.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
What do you recommend you?
Speaker 5 (35:10):
Still?
Speaker 1 (35:11):
You still have an existing lawn, right, and this was
just some overseating.
Speaker 7 (35:15):
Yeah, dress overseaed. Yeah, where the top dressing portion portions
are doesn't look like it terminated.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
All right? So did you put the seed down first
and then top dress over that? No? Okay, all right.
You know, the thing of it is that if you
didn't have good even moisture in the ground, although you'd
had the one rainfall, if you didn't keep good even moisture,
there's a good chance as seed just never germinated, so
it can still be there, just gonna sit there dormant
(35:45):
at this stage and now become dormant seating. Uh So,
why would treat the lawn still as you normally would?
And we're at that point now for that final feeding,
So I would go ahead and feed the lawn. As
a matter of fact, do you have any lawn for
it on hand, No, buy the starter fertilizer. It's still
gonna give you about Yeah, it's gonna give you about
(36:07):
twenty five percent nitrogen. It's gonna have a little phosphorus,
little pot ash in there. But do that one. It'll
still feed your existing lawn, and we'll keep some nutrients
there for that new seed as it starts to germinate
in the springtime. But right now it's gonna be dormant seeding.
If if by chance, you know, this is a long
time for that seed to sit there, you're probably gonna
(36:28):
lose a little bit of it. You could come back
mid to late February, Greg and just maybe at a
quarter of the normal rate, do some slight overseeding in
it one more time, just to be sure.
Speaker 7 (36:42):
All right, Can I Can I still play landscaping?
Speaker 1 (36:45):
Oh? Absolutely? We got a long way to go as
far as planting trees and shrubs and things like that.
We'll go right up until Christmas, as long as the
weather's good. What about hostas now in a one gallon
or larger absolutely smaller pots. I've probably been a little
bit more hesitant this late in the season, but one
(37:06):
gallon are larger, not an issue. And make sure again, Greg,
watering is gonna be key, especially through Thanksgiving and maybe
one or two more times after that, and then you
should be good to go. Multr men going into the
winter and they should be fine.
Speaker 7 (37:20):
Okay, Well, thank you very much, hard sorry, sorry about
the dog noises.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
That's okay, good talking with you. And again great point.
We've got plenty of time to plant. As a matter
of fact, spring flowering bulbs, daffodils, tulips, crocus, all of
those can be planted now. I like doing it now
versus earlier in the season. Uh So, now's a great time.
And of course if you get out to the garden
centers a lot of times as we get closer to
(37:44):
the Thanksgiving and the holiday season, whatever spring flowering bulbs
are left over, a lot of times they go on
sale and you can scarf those things up at a
better price. And then you get lots of daffodils, uh
you know, and things like that that are dear and
gritter proof, and and they get those planted now and
you start to benefit from those. Of course, next spring, again,
(38:06):
watering is going to be important. Get them done, planning,
get the sprinkler set up or irrigation. Most irrigations are
turned off by now, but sprinkler set up. Make sure
you water them in well, a little bald food in
there for you. I love Aspoma's bulb tone. I think
it's one of the best ones out there for you.
Watered in and you're good to go. Also, when you're
picking these up, all right, grab a few extra especially
(38:27):
of the minor bulbs, the crocus and the snow drops
and things like that, and grab yourself some five inch
four inch five inch six inch plant pots. Get the
shallow ones. Doesn't need to be very deep, some good
potting soil. Put some good potting soil in there, with
a little bit of baldfood with it, and just stick
those bulbs. You plant them a little bit closer than
(38:49):
you would outside, because you're just creating this little show
in the pot. Stick your bulbs down in there. They're
not gonna be as deep as they normally would be
if they were planted in the ground. It's okay, we
don't care at this stage. But we're gonna pot them
up all right, and then we're gonna water them in well,
and we're gonna keep them outside for a while until
we get into some really cold weather closer to Christmas,
and then you're gonna bring those pots and put them
(39:11):
in that unheated garage, unheated shed, uh, maybe down a window. Well.
Water them as needed through the winter, maybe once a
month or so, and when they start to grow in
the springtime, bring those out you and you may have
to use a little water soluble fertilizer like Miracle Grow whatever.
But now you've got these pots of spring flowering bulbs
that you can bring in your house and use them
(39:31):
or give them away for gifts or whatever during the
spring season. Let them grow in the let them flower
and grow in the pot. When they start to turn yellow,
you can take them out of the pot and plant
them in the ground where you would use them in
your landscape, and then they come up for years and
years after that. So you know, it's a great way
to do that. And they're typically again all on sale
(39:55):
going up to the Thanksgiving weekend because they want to
get rid of those get the get out of the inventory,
so you can save a little bit and light up
the spring at the same time, both in containers and
doing it in the ground as well. Cincinnati Botanical Garden
Zoo always does a great job with a lot of
their larger containers above ground that they will go and
do a mixed spring ball planter. Well they'll put daffodils
(40:18):
down deep, some tulips over top of those, some of
the minor bulbs above those, and then they flower at
different times and they come up through each other, and
it's you know, don't plant on top and try to
work your way so the bulbs aren't exactly over top
of each other that they've got room to come up.
But you can create this spring flowering planter mix that
(40:40):
they do, and they have them all around the Botanical
Garden and zoo and it's absolutely gorgeous. And then they
take them all out when they're all done flowering, and
then they come back and freshen them up, and then
they do all their tropical plants and their annual plantings
for the summer season. So that's something you can do
as well. But again take advantage of some good prices
on these things. This time of the year great time
(41:01):
to plant and get yourself some spring flowering bulbs in
the ground or in containers ready to go to light
up your spring next spring. So take advantage of those please,
And it's an easy, easy thing to do. And speaking
of bulbs, our plan of the week this week is Amarillis.
And the reason I chose Amarillis is our plant of
the week this week is that now you're starting to
(41:21):
see them for sale at the garden centers. You're seeing
them for sale the catalogs and all showing you all
their Amarillis selections, and there's up geez, there are a
ton of Amarillis bulbs, colors and doubles and singles, and
oh my gosh, I can't believe how many Amarillis types
are out there for you to buy to pot up
and create nice holiday color. If you're doing them for
(41:42):
the holidays and Amarillis, let me tell you something. If
you're sitting there saying I can't grow house plan, I
can't grow anything. Amarillis are a piece of cake. Amarillis
and paper white bulbs for the holidays, piece of cake.
But point being is it takes about six to eight
weeks when they start to grow you pot them up.
It's a flower. Where does that put you six weeks
(42:04):
from now? That puts you right at before Christmas season.
So you want to get him going now, if you
want them for the holiday, Christmas in New Year's color.
Gotta pot them up now, so to all flower by
that time, not the paper whites. They only take about
three weeks or so, wait a little bit longer on
those and then buy some extras. So it should be
planning them up on about a three or three weeks
(42:24):
staggering to give you winter color all through the winter season.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
