Speaker 1 (00:38):
Eight hundred eight two three eight two five five.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I am Ron Wilson, your personally yard boy talking about yarding,
moving our way through this month of December. Guess who's
here this morning. He actually is here. He's not taking
it on a three day weekend for this vacation. Did
you use everything up yet? Joe Strecker, executive produce some
more days? Still got a couple more, all right, Joe Stracker,
executive producer. Find out what's going on his I know,
(01:01):
nothing in his lawn because it's white. I shouldn't have
said that. Uh, you're not too happy about that. What
snow and stuff?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
What's the color of the year so we can stay
white off white? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Uh, find out what's going on our website. Ryan Wilson
on i dot com Facebook page In the Garden with
Ron Wilson, Good morning. Sure, Yeah, it is the color
of snow, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
I Gary and I always talk about the color of
the year, and you know, it's always been the pantone thing,
and then four or five six years ago, everybody and
his brother started getting into the color of the year.
So it kind of just muddied everything out. I mean
it was like, okay, you know, there's no rhyme or
reason anymore. And I think Pantone did an interesting thing.
They used to release their color of the Year earlier,
(01:44):
like in September October. Now it's late late November, December.
So they let all the other people get all their
things out of the way, and then Pantone comes on.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
And their color of the year is the color that's
devoid of color.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Well yeah, and so so this year they come up
with this off white. What is a cloud dancer?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I think it is.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
And what's interesting is they are just getting nailed.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Oh yeah, of course they're for.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Picking that color, not just because of the color, from politics,
for the I mean the race cards are going out there,
and the politics and non creativity and oh my gosh,
just getting hammered. It's crazy. Where is this world?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
I don't know. I'm not going to get into that.
Let's move on from that. Isn't that it?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I mean, it's just nuts. So, I mean here we've
been talking about Pantones Color of the Year forever and
they finally pick a color. Who cares, it's not off white?
Everybody uses it anyway, and it has the reasoning behind
it's kind of interesting, and I agree with it, but
then why does everybody have to jump on it and
just rip it the piece?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Everyone's bored. Oh my gosh. So although I saw you, no,
I'm just kidding. So I showed you a video of
me shoveling my snow.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Folks, I'm telling you what it's. We've had some snow
off and on. I went to get a trying to
get just a handheld the cordless ones because I got
to do my mom's driveway and our side watched. I figure, what,
what the heck? I can take one back and forth,
and I and I went to get one, and nobody's
got him available. So we've had a couple of good
snows here. So I remember Joe has a handheld one,
(03:27):
and he also has one he got for Christmas a
couple of years ago, a few years ago. It's a
gas powered one because their driveways a little steep coming
out of the garage, so you got to clear it off.
We got a twenty degree grade and I and I
knew Joe hadn't been using this, so I asked him
when he came in this morning, Hey, would you be
interested in maybe selling that or written me your gas
(03:48):
powered one. And he said, no, I'm getting it fixed
so I can use it, because I guess couldn't get
it started.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
But he said, it's a little side issue.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Year.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Here's what I'm doing right now. And uh, yeah, that's
pretty interesting, Joe.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
It's a flamethrower.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
It's a flamethrower. I was able to look like Gary
Salivan with a powerwasher.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Remember earlier this summer when we started talking about I
was going to get a weed throw yeah, the dragon drag,
and I was kind of hesitant to use it. And
I'm like, you know what, I'm going to use it
when it snows. It's just to see what happens. And
(04:35):
sure enough, it snows, and if it's like eight inches
of snow, it's not going to do it. But it was.
It was two inches of snow, and I was just like,
you know, I'm going to try this thing out. And
I was able to clear my driveway, which is a
pretty decent sized driveway. I did the whole thing in
about an hour and every and it was clear. It
(04:56):
wasn't like you know, you know how I when you.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Drive the tires on top of the the snow, you
get the ice right there. Where it and you had that.
I saw the pictures and you just worked right on
past those.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
But like everybody in on my street, you know, when
you know, when you shovel, you don't get all the
snow off, he says, you just get enough so that
you can, you know, drive over it. All the snow
was My entire driveway was completely just back to concrete,
and they it was just it was just so satisfying
to watch the snow just melt away. It's you know,
(05:27):
it's you know, it's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Well I saw the video and I could hear the
noise and he was, well, I had got a little
grunting in.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
One of my daughters took the video and she was
just she was enjoying the watches like me. Whoa because
when the snow happened, it happened overnight and they said, damn,
should we got and shovel the snow snow? And I
said no. They said, I got this way, why not?
I said, you'll see when I get home. So there
(06:02):
you go, there you go. Now. Yeah, So I didn't
get either one of Joe's snowblowers. And we get a
if we get a good six seven eight inches of
snow then you need the other one. Yeah, I'm gonna have.
But it's just fun and satisfying. Absolutely, it's really satisfying
that thing. So anyway, so it was entertaining, Yes, it was.
(06:25):
It was very much. So who do we have on
the show? Today? Show?
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Today? Guests? You I feel like you're a guest now
because you're off for a while and you're back on again. Yeah,
specially very special guest Joe Stricker, Very true. Anthony Knight.
He's from Flawing Seeds. We've had him on before flowering lawns,
but he's come up with a new concept. They're also
into the bird seed business and uh, I'm not going
(06:52):
to give away the secret, but I'll let him explain
to you what he's got. But it's pretty interesting concept.
Uh so we're gonna talk to him about that. I
also have on Pete Richmond. Pete is a co I
wnder with his wife Emily of rich Life Farms out
in New Richmond, Ohio. I met them several weeks ago
at a produce farmers market and they specialize in mushrooms
(07:17):
and they grow all the different types of gourmet mushrooms
absolutely outstanding, plus a lot of other things too, So
a great story. So we're gonna have him on it
this morning talking about how you could grow mushrooms at
your own home and what they do to grow them.
But do you like mushrooms? Oh yeah, oh they You
got to see these. I mean they just they do
the whole ninety yards, all different kinds. We bought some
and they were outstanding. So he's gonna come on and
(07:39):
talk about growing mushrooms. That's kind of becoming. You know,
you can find these kids now. You used to find
them a long time ago, but now it's for real,
lots of kids out there that you can grow them
right in your own Remember the guy we used to
have on in Central Ohio, the Magic the Mushroom Wizard.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Or or something like that. Yeah, yeah, And I haven't
heard from them for one I'm not sure what happened there.
I think I know.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
But anyway, we're gonna have Pete rich Richmond on from
a Rich Life Farm, so the other two of them,
and as a matter of fact, we get him scheduled
for three segments. We're gonna talk about all kinds of yeah,
and then of course you and of course Gary Salivan
at the end and Danny and me in between.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Very cool. So the website is Ron Wilson Online dot com,
Facebook page in the garden with Ron Wilson and the
chat room is up and running and speaking of seeds
from the earlier guest, Burpie Seed is doing something really
cool for next year.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Interesting. I know you got that pressure release too. That
was kind of neat there with the big two hundred
and fiftieth anniversary. They went back and put these seed
collections together from George Washington's garden, from Thomas Jefferson's garden,
and I think it's Martha's seeds actually from George's. He's
got well, they have a four or five of these
seed collections of old heirloom seeds from way back and
(08:56):
their gardens so you can replicate their gardens your garden
this year. Yeah, twenty twenty six. So it's pretty cool.
And the link is on your yeah walk page. Yeah,
so you go right to that Lincoln go check them out.
It's Burpie. See, it's always fun with burpe purp Yeah. Yeah,
you can't go wrong with purpley purpis and Johnny's you know,
(09:17):
got it right at the top. Rita is making brisket. Yeah,
she is specifically a Hanica brisket. That is what she said.
That's what she what she said, I know what she said, honey,
And then I kind of looked at her little but yeah,
it looks pretty good. I've never had that one, but
that looks pretty dark.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
It does look some reasons I believe as os oras. Yeah, brisket,
and it could be done the croc. That's you. So
that's definitely something that I could do. That's Joe Strekker
right there. Yeah, put it in the crock walk away.
Walk away for eight hours. Yeah, take a nap, yep,
(09:58):
two naps. Start to smell it. I could probably take
two naps. Take one quick look in there, just to
stir it a little bit if necessary. Done, absolutely done, done, done.
And the plan of the week is Christmas fern.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Christmas fern. It's an evergreen fern, yep. And it's a
beautiful fern. Firns should be used a lot more in
shade guards and we just don't seem to think about ferns.
But obviously being Christmas time and you can see what
they look like, and it's called Christmas fern. Try to
pick use that for a pick of the year. But
keep ferns in mind for those shady areas. They actually
are not that hard to grow. And this one's a
(10:34):
tough one and it is evergreen. But check it out
at Ron Wilson online dot com.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
And speaking of Christmas ferns, Yes, if you watched Charlie
Brown Christmas this year, you did, have you? No? I
have none.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
The only Christmas special I've seen so far because we
just we have been, we've been on to go and
not watching was the thing that Kevin Cosner put together
this week. I thought it was a pretty interesting show.
Oh yeah, I didn't see that one.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
It was.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I heard about it, but I didn't see.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Yeah, it was. I thought it was pretty interesting. What's
called the First Christmas? Yeah, and he kind of they don't.
They do it based on the Bible writings and everything,
all the scriptures, but he presents it in a way
that it more than likely would have been like back then.
Instead of just telling the story, he actually shows like
(11:22):
when they travel from from uh from their home to Bethlehem,
it just wasn't Joseph and Mary on a donkey. More
than likely it was a group of people because nobody
traveled by themselves back then. You always had to travel
in packs. Yeah, because of the Romans and August. Anyway,
it was an interesting concept. I thought it was really uh.
I thought it was very fascinating, very well done.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
So cool.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
You get a chance to watch and watch, But no,
we haven't seen it. I haven't seen any Hallmark movies.
I've seen nothing so far.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
I watched Charlie Brown Christmas this week. You know, that's
one of your favorites, and it's the one the favorite
of mine. And the Christmas fern is looks just like
the tree Charlie Brown's Charlie Brown's tree. So don't those
leaves have a little hooked like stockings stockings on there?
If I'm not mistaken. Yeah, so there you go. There
(12:12):
you go. So all right, Well, I'll let you get
on with the show, and I'll talk to you next week.
And now on with the show. Exit stage lifts next week,
and I think next week is the last one for
the year, because the next to bea well the one,
well least the ones that I'm on, because we're off
(12:36):
from the radio station here maybe maybe not.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
No, get the twentieth and the twenty seventh, that's right,
so we get two more. That's right, you're right post
your Christmas and yeah, you're right, you're right. So you
know we got to you before we say, uh, pop

other go joke? Can you believe in other years going by?

Welcome back here in the Garden with Ron Wilson again
that toll free number eight hundred eight two three eight
two five five talking about yardening and yes, I want
to go back to what Joe and I were talking
about with the commemorative seed collection that the American Horticultural
Society teamed up with Burpie. And yeah, Burpie, I mean
you can't go yea Burpie's been around. What there are
(17:53):
This is our one hundred and fiftieth, one hundred and
fiftieth anniversary. Uh, crazy stuff there. But they teamed up
together to put these four historic seed collections together, and
they also when they did that, they also have their
anniversary historic Breakthroughs. It's a book that they have. It
(18:15):
be a great garden gift that they have. It's thirty
bucks and it talks about all of their plants from
the past that they have developed over the years that
you're probably still growing. Tell us about those in the
history of Burpie. Pretty cool book. I will be ordering
one for myself, no doubt about it golden Banam, sweet corn,
black Beauty egg plant, Ford Hook, Giant Swiss chart. Remember
(18:37):
we had Sarah on a couple of weeks ago out
in California. We had the pictures of the giant Swiss chart.
It was about four feet tall. Well, that was the
Ford Hook and that was developed in nineteen twenty four.
Nineteen twenty four. How about this one? Do you remember
there's one big boy tomato. Of course you do, Snowbird
sugar snat piece. Fourth of July tomato one of my
(19:00):
absolute favorites is one of the top introductions for Burpie.
And I still say Fourth of July tomato when I
recommend that one. It's the first ever medium slicer that
it's ready by the fourth of July, and they really are.
There's very early tomato and they produce like crazy all
summer long. But that's the fourth of July back in
(19:21):
nineteen ninety eight. But I still recommend that one. It's great.
But anyway, what a great book, and it's Burpee's historic
breakthroughs one hundred and fifty years of first from their
Burbie seed collections and then the seed packs. There are
four of them. Thomas Jefferson's Revolutionary Garden, Martha Washington's Kitchen Garden,
(19:43):
a Colonial door herb garden, and then the Declaration bouquet
with a combination of reds and yellows and white flowers,
all from Burpie. And again the link for you to

of these packs of seeds as well. Eight hundred eight

Talking to your nig at eight hundred eight two three
eight two five five getting ready for the big storm
coming through.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
We had one about what about a week and a
half ago down with five inch four to five inches
around the area. Yeah, didn't really slow us down. I
think everybody was ready for that one and kind of
got the roads cleared quickly. Got a second when we
got a little snow a couple of nights ago, it
was nice little dusting.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
And then of course tonight coming through. Now they're talking
four to six inches in our area. Uh, you know,
and you have to say that the cold weather. They're
talking four tonight, twelve on Sunday, very cold next week.
Thank you Mother Nature for bringing in the five inches
of snow, and it's then.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
It's supposed to be like in the fifties at some
point next week.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
So it's going to come back up again and then
all go away. But thank mother Nature for the blanket
of snow coming in today as the temperatures continue to drop,
because you know as well as I do, that is
a blanket of insulation for all those root systems, for
everything underneath that. It's blanket of snow. It's insulating, and
them going to get back up to the fifties, it'll melt,
(23:16):
go back into the ground water our plans for us,
that's exactly what we can use. So we'll take it.
But we'll take that snow cover as well. Thank you
Mother Nature for helping us out as we dip in it.
It's funny how she does that sometimes a lot of
times when we're going to dip into those colder temperatures.
Eight hundred and eight two three eight two five five.
Speaking of catalogs, if you haven't gotten your orders out
(23:37):
there yet, if you're not a regular on their mailing list,
make sure you get out there and get some gardening catalogs.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Great inspiration for you to read through and see what's
coming on a lot of them.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
I think I've really added to their information and their catalogs.
I'm always a big one for Burpie. We talked about
that early and they do have great information in there.
You can always count on Burpie, Johnny's Seeds. I actually
I keep Johnny Seeds catalog with me all the time.
Great info there talking about planting and charts and all
(24:10):
kinds of stuff. They do a great job. Make sure
you get theirs. Baker Creek sometimes it's called Rare and
Unusual Seeds or Baker Creek Seeds for heirloom unbelievable, what
a fantastic catalog. Totally Tomato, I love that one. And
then Gardener's Supply. I love that one as well for
(24:30):
gardening supplies. And there are a lot of others too
that I enjoy. But those are some of the tops
that I would make sure you get your hands on.
And speaking of which, this past week, I got an
envelope in the mail from our good friends Sandra and
Tom zilly I from Doylestown, Ohio, and they've been listening
to our show forever, they said, and got involved with
(24:53):
gardening in their community. Garden do vegetable gardening there, and
we're at an antique show, big antique show in Columbus, Ohio.
Said they were looking through and they found what they
mailed to me is a gardening catalog from nineteen thirty one.
It's a Henry Field's seed book and they were in Shenandoah,
(25:15):
Iowa at the time spring nineteen thirty one. This book
is still an outstanding condition, so I have gently read
through it. It's a hoot to read through these old books,
to look at the garden collections, the writings that are
in here, and of course there's no pictures. It's all
drawings and illustrations. This has color in it, which is surprising.
But what they do here's their special you ready. They
(25:39):
have garden seed collections where they have a whole collection
of seeds, packages of seeds to complete your entire vegetable garden. Beans, beats, cabbage, salery, carrots, cucumbers,
let us onions. Partially, I mean in the whole nine yards,
all the way down to salsify tomatoes, everything you would
(26:01):
need to grow in your vegetable gardens. You get a
pack of seeds for all these different there's twenty six
packs in your garden seed collection. All right, guess how
much the garden seed collection was in nineteen thirty one.
Twenty six packs one dollar, one dollar. And what's interesting
(26:22):
is you turn itto the next page. Of course, they
sell paint, and they sell gardening coats and all horses
harnesses for plowing in that. But it's a letter from
Henry Field and he's writing to you about their business
and all. He got to picture of the family in there,
and he says, yes, plant a good big garden. I
(26:42):
encourage you to plant a good big garden. That's the
way to beat the high cost of living. And it's
the only way to have nice, fresh and tasty things
that we all like. That was written in nineteen thirty one,
and nothing has changed since then. He's absolutely correct. Great
when he talks about also being they were on the
(27:03):
radio at the time sharing gardening tips way back in
nineteen thirty one on a weekly, regular basis, and it
was k f n F and in Nebraska kgb Z,
and they did it on a regular basis, and I
thought that was pretty interesting. But going through the catalog,
(27:25):
reading the descriptions, looking at the pricing and everything. It
was phenomenal. But I thought that was great. Be the
high cost of living. Grow your own, fresh, taste, good
plant the big garden. They also talk about they have annuals,
they have perennials, and they have nursery stuck that they
sell all the way through and in their annuals and perennials,
(27:45):
he talks about everybody would love to have a circle
of flowers in their lawn. The circle of flowers, you know,
is everybody's dream and everybody's goal to have one or
more circle of flowers in your garden. And I looked
at the drawing and the illustration, and you think back
to some of the pictures that I have seen of
grandmas and grandpa's way back when in their gardens having
(28:07):
these circles of flowers. He was right. But they have
a cannon is in it, and then all the annuals
around the outside and all pretty cool. I mean, it's
just like wow, that still applies today. Sweet peppers California Wonder,
California Wonder, nineteen thirty one. And guess what they refer
to them in the description A great mango, A great
(28:29):
mango with sweet flavor mango, and my parents called the
green peppers mangoes back when I was growing up, so
my grandparents, but it was referred to as a mango.
So they talked about California wonder and they list a
whole bunch of sweet peppers. And the one hot pepper
that they have available shows you where hot peppers have
(28:49):
come today, was red cayenne. And it even says in
the description, a really hot one, red cayenne will spice
up whatever you know you're gonna you're gonna cook with
red cayenne pepper was the real hot one in nineteen
thirty one, and I was blown back. French breakfast radish.
(29:10):
I knew it was an oldie, but I didn't know
when back that far. French breakfast radish was available in
nineteen thirty one, and you know another one. It was
a big one. And I still know folks that grow
this not as much anymore because nobody cooks with it
as much as it used to. Is salsify. It's a
root crop and it was common names like a poor
(29:31):
man's oyster or a vegetable oyster. When you cook with
it, it tastes like oysters, and it's called salsify and easy
to grow, but you just every now and then you'll
see it in a produce some market, but just not
that often. I rarely hear from folks that grow salsify
in their garden. But it tasted like oyster, so when
you added a little bit of milk to it when
(29:52):
you're cooking it, you could use it for soups and
all kinds of things that you needed at oyster flavoring.
That's where that came from. But it was it's just
a great catalog. I want to thank them for sending
it to me. They said, I know, I appreciate some
of the things from way back in the old days,
and I certainly do this a great catalog. I will
be tucking this one away because it's in really good
(30:13):
shape and I very gingerly turned the pages, still has
all the order forums in it, and everything is crazy.
By the way, Henry Fields no longer in existence, but
you may recognize that the company that took them over
is called Gurney's Gurney Seeds, and that's the one that's
going on today. But no more Henry Field. So thanks
again to Sandra and Tom Zelle I and Doylestown, Ohio
(30:35):
for the Henry Fields nineteen thirty one catalog. I totally
enjoyed reading through that page by page. Before we take
a break, let's go to Dayton.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Dick from Dayton, good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 6 (30:46):

Speaker 6 (31:11):
Oh yeah, I've got about so far. Yeah, yeah, I
got about eight.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
So yeah, you notice every year we don't get quite
as many as we did the year before. Yeah, Fewer
and fewer people are setting those Christmas. I still do
that a little bit with some of the family and
and yeah. All but yeah, you don't get the amount
that you used to get, no doubt, no, no.
Speaker 6 (31:32):

Yeah, yeah, it's uh. Eddie came yesterday, my best friend.
He came because he had they to do. We were
just looking about that storm, you know. But not predict
the Bengals to win this week. You are my prediction.

It's going to be pretty cold. Twelve degrees for the.
Speaker 6 (32:10):
Game, yeah, twelve yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Yeah, but so Bengals and Ravens. What's the score?
Speaker 6 (32:18):

Speaker 2 (34:33):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
I am run Wilson, your personally yard boy, and we
are talking yarding. Don't forget our websites. Run Wilson online
dot com. Rita's recipe this week is a brisket, absolutely outstanding,
and last week we weren't able to post her her
recipe or the week uh didn't make it on there,
but it's on there now and it's there her uh brittle,
you know, the the peppermint brittle, and it's an outstanding one.
(34:58):
She gets a lot of requests for that one, and
like I said, we weren't able to put it up
last week, but we got it up for you. Peppermint bark,
I'm sorry, not brutal peppermint bark, and it's up there
for you as well. Be sure and check it out.
There's an interesting story up there about how colorful murals
can be a catalyst for climate and community action. Read
that one. If you get some empty walls in your community,
(35:19):
that could actually stand a nice colorful mural. Some of
the benefits of doing that is on our website and
of course at commemorative seed collection from Burpie. The link
to do that is on there as well, and our
plan of the week Christmas fern and yes, those little
pennies which is the individual little leaf on the fern stem.
(35:40):
It's evergreen, so it's green year round, look like a
little Christmas stocking, has a little boot at the bottom
and hold on yards, so be sure and check that out.
By the way, we are at that time of the
year where your local independent garden center, your local nurseries,
local greenhouses, local growers are getting their plant lists together
for twenty twenty six now for nursery stock. They've been
(36:01):
doing that two and three years out and so a
lot of times new nursery plants woody plants that are
introduced in twenty twenty five may not be available till
twenty twenty seven, twenty eight, depending on the production levels,
one of which we talked about this earlier this spring
and it hasn't changed yet. So the production numbers are
still very low, but they're going to promote the heck
(36:23):
out of it. It's called Centennial ruby hydrangea. It's four
obviously the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary. It's a macrofila.
It's a red flowers, very attractive. The stems are dark
in colored, dark green leaves. Is a macrophyla, but a
flowers on old and new wood, about three to three
(36:46):
feet tall and wide, hearty to zone four. So it's
a tougher party one. But numbers will be very limited.
As a matter of fact, our nursery, which is a
fairly large nursery, and we go through a lot of plants.
They're all I've only been able to commit a very
small number at the beginning of the season for twenty
twenty six for us to sell. So if you put
(37:07):
it on your list, you might want to check with
your local nursery see if they're going to get any
end centennial ruby, and maybe put your name on a
waiting list or something because number is going to be
low for a while. Then I was told by July
production numbers will pick up more and more, and of
course it'll become available. Then the rooty cuttings we've become
available another year and we can start growing on ourselves.
Blah blah, blah. But anyway, it's a centennial ruby hydrangia,
(37:30):
and you will see it being promoted quite a bit
coming through January and February as we go into that
two hundred and fifteenth celebration. But at this time, what
I was saying is they're they're ramping up right now
with their production of what they're going to be growing
annuals and perennials, which can be adjusted on an annual basis.
Perennials typically yes, and some of the newer ones might
(37:51):
be difficult to get older rooted cuttings or whatever, but
they can change and update and see and all that.
So if there are are annuals, especially or if there
are vegetables especially that you know do a great job,
but unfortunately your local independent garden center, nursery, greenhouse, whatever
(38:13):
does not grow or sell them, you may want to
print out some information about it, go see them and say, hey,
I've grown this or we've grown this for several years
or whatever and have gotten fantastic results. The All American
selections that we are out there every year, those are
typically already they're proven that they're going to do a
(38:34):
nice job for you in your area. So you know, again, Mike,
I want to take that list and show them what
if they don't have it already, what's out there. But
now's the time to put your request list together so
that they will grow or try to get the seeds
and grow some of these for you. So I'm asking
you as we're putting our list together and we're pretty
well there, but we always leave room to add to
(38:56):
it the tomatoes. What tomatoes have really done well for
you that you totally enjoy that maybe you don't see
too much out there available in local garden centers, greenhouses, nursery,
et cetera. I'll give you, for instance, woodstock. That's a
Johnny Seed introduction and we grew that for the first
time this year and had absolutely great results with it.
(39:20):
But it's called woodstock. It's a green kind of an orange.
It's a green tomato, very sweet, very flavorful. I love
green tomatoes. I think we're gonna see more of these
bicolor green, red, green, orange, green, yellow tomatoes coming under
the market, more and more of it. It's called woodstock.
And someone had suggested that to us last year and
we added to our list and everybody I know so
(39:42):
far that grew it did an outstanding job with it.
The Aas which I mentioned earlier, has a tomato that
I had a couple of people again ask about. And
I have not tried this one, but usually all the
things they go through through and all the testing and
all these are usually pretty much total winners. As in
(40:05):
the Aas winter the tomato is called butt a Bang,
another cherry tomato, but with butt a ban it's a
larger cherry tomato. But what's so unique about this one?
It shows resistance against septoria leaf spot, which can be
a major issue. My mom got into that in early
blight this year, and man, it just her tomato. Some
(40:26):
of her vines look horrible, still produced, but looked horrible,
but septoria leaf spot, early blight, and late bought blite.
It's resistant to all three of those, all right, So
you'll stay a lot healthier, your plants will all season long.
Better tomatoes, great flavor, juicy and for a one and
a half inch bright red cherry fruit. It is crack resistant,
(40:49):
so if the rains come through and they hit your plants,
this one shows pretty good resistance to cracking, and so
you've got a nice solid tomato. Good one and again
we're growing. We added this to our list thanks to
the American Association all American Selections, and I had a
couple of people ask we were going to grow it
as well, but it's called buda bing, so we added
(41:12):
that to our list. We'll have that out there. But
my question to you is are there other ones out
there that you have enjoyed? And if so, make sure
you let your local independent garden center know and let
me know and share with everybody else so that we
can kind of take a look at tomatoes or anything
really in the vegetable garden or annuals or perennials that
(41:32):
you've had tremendous success with and share that on our
show because it's fun hearing from folks that have experience
with let me, let's face the facts. When it comes
to tomatoes and peppers and all these you can't grow
them all. There's no room. And so every year you
try to grow two or three new ones out there
just to get a better feel. But I love it
when folks let us know what they have grown and
(41:53):
has been successful. So let me know if you don't
of any tomatoes you're going to add or that you
really like, and let you're a low garden center know
as well, so they can put it on their list.
But share, share your favors with us, or tomatoes or
that that didn't do well, let us know about those
as well. All Right, we're gonna take a break. When
we come back from the break, we'll be taking your
calls at eight hundred eight two three, eight two five five.
(42:15):
Then halfway through the next segment, our special guest Pete Richmond.
Pete is the owner with his wife Emily, a rich
life farm and fun guy. Their website is richlifefarm dot
com if you want to check it out before we
talk to Pete. They specialize in growing gourmet mushrooms, and
we're gonna talk about grown mushrooms here in the Garden
(42:38):
with Ron Wilson.
Speaker 4 (42:50):
How is your garden growing? Call Ron now at one
eight hundred eighty two three. Talk you are listening to
In the Garden with Ron Wilson
Speaker 3 (43:09):
Had
Eight hundred eight two three eight two five five.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I am Ron Wilson, your personally yard boy talking about yarding,
moving our way through this month of December. Guess who's
here this morning. He actually is here. He's not taking
it on a three day weekend for this vacation. Did
you use everything up yet? Joe Strecker, executive produce some
more days? Still got a couple more, all right, Joe Stracker,
executive producer. Find out what's going on his I know,
(01:01):
nothing in his lawn because it's white. I shouldn't have
said that. Uh, you're not too happy about that. What
snow and stuff?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
What's the color of the year so we can stay
white off white? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Uh, find out what's going on our website. Ryan Wilson
on i dot com Facebook page In the Garden with
Ron Wilson, Good morning. Sure, Yeah, it is the color
of snow, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
I Gary and I always talk about the color of
the year, and you know, it's always been the pantone thing,
and then four or five six years ago, everybody and
his brother started getting into the color of the year.
So it kind of just muddied everything out. I mean
it was like, okay, you know, there's no rhyme or
reason anymore. And I think Pantone did an interesting thing.
They used to release their color of the Year earlier,
(01:44):
like in September October. Now it's late late November, December.
So they let all the other people get all their
things out of the way, and then Pantone comes on.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
And their color of the year is the color that's
devoid of color.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Well yeah, and so so this year they come up
with this off white. What is a cloud dancer?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I think it is.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
And what's interesting is they are just getting nailed.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Oh yeah, of course they're for.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Picking that color, not just because of the color, from politics,
for the I mean the race cards are going out there,
and the politics and non creativity and oh my gosh,
just getting hammered. It's crazy. Where is this world?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
I don't know. I'm not going to get into that.
Let's move on from that. Isn't that it?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I mean, it's just nuts. So, I mean here we've
been talking about Pantones Color of the Year forever and
they finally pick a color. Who cares, it's not off white?
Everybody uses it anyway, and it has the reasoning behind
it's kind of interesting, and I agree with it, but
then why does everybody have to jump on it and
just rip it the piece?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Everyone's bored. Oh my gosh. So although I saw you, no,
I'm just kidding. So I showed you a video of
me shoveling my snow.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Folks, I'm telling you what it's. We've had some snow
off and on. I went to get a trying to
get just a handheld the cordless ones because I got
to do my mom's driveway and our side watched. I figure, what,
what the heck? I can take one back and forth,
and I and I went to get one, and nobody's
got him available. So we've had a couple of good
snows here. So I remember Joe has a handheld one,
(03:27):
and he also has one he got for Christmas a
couple of years ago, a few years ago. It's a
gas powered one because their driveways a little steep coming
out of the garage, so you got to clear it off.
We got a twenty degree grade and I and I
knew Joe hadn't been using this, so I asked him
when he came in this morning, Hey, would you be
interested in maybe selling that or written me your gas
(03:48):
powered one. And he said, no, I'm getting it fixed
so I can use it, because I guess couldn't get
it started.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
But he said, it's a little side issue.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Year.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Here's what I'm doing right now. And uh, yeah, that's
pretty interesting, Joe.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
It's a flamethrower.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
It's a flamethrower. I was able to look like Gary
Salivan with a powerwasher.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Remember earlier this summer when we started talking about I
was going to get a weed throw yeah, the dragon drag,
and I was kind of hesitant to use it. And
I'm like, you know what, I'm going to use it
when it snows. It's just to see what happens. And
(04:35):
sure enough, it snows, and if it's like eight inches
of snow, it's not going to do it. But it was.
It was two inches of snow, and I was just like,
you know, I'm going to try this thing out. And
I was able to clear my driveway, which is a
pretty decent sized driveway. I did the whole thing in
about an hour and every and it was clear. It
(04:56):
wasn't like you know, you know how I when you.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Drive the tires on top of the the snow, you
get the ice right there. Where it and you had that.
I saw the pictures and you just worked right on
past those.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
But like everybody in on my street, you know, when
you know, when you shovel, you don't get all the
snow off, he says, you just get enough so that
you can, you know, drive over it. All the snow
was My entire driveway was completely just back to concrete,
and they it was just it was just so satisfying
to watch the snow just melt away. It's you know,
(05:27):
it's you know, it's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Well I saw the video and I could hear the
noise and he was, well, I had got a little
grunting in.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
One of my daughters took the video and she was
just she was enjoying the watches like me. Whoa because
when the snow happened, it happened overnight and they said, damn,
should we got and shovel the snow snow? And I
said no. They said, I got this way, why not?
I said, you'll see when I get home. So there
(06:02):
you go, there you go. Now. Yeah, So I didn't
get either one of Joe's snowblowers. And we get a
if we get a good six seven eight inches of
snow then you need the other one. Yeah, I'm gonna have.
But it's just fun and satisfying. Absolutely, it's really satisfying
that thing. So anyway, so it was entertaining, Yes, it was.
(06:25):
It was very much. So who do we have on
the show? Today? Show?
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Today? Guests? You I feel like you're a guest now
because you're off for a while and you're back on again. Yeah,
specially very special guest Joe Stricker, Very true. Anthony Knight.
He's from Flawing Seeds. We've had him on before flowering lawns,
but he's come up with a new concept. They're also
into the bird seed business and uh, I'm not going
(06:52):
to give away the secret, but I'll let him explain
to you what he's got. But it's pretty interesting concept.
Uh so we're gonna talk to him about that. I
also have on Pete Richmond. Pete is a co I
wnder with his wife Emily of rich Life Farms out
in New Richmond, Ohio. I met them several weeks ago
at a produce farmers market and they specialize in mushrooms
(07:17):
and they grow all the different types of gourmet mushrooms
absolutely outstanding, plus a lot of other things too, So
a great story. So we're gonna have him on it
this morning talking about how you could grow mushrooms at
your own home and what they do to grow them.
But do you like mushrooms? Oh yeah, oh they You
got to see these. I mean they just they do
the whole ninety yards, all different kinds. We bought some
and they were outstanding. So he's gonna come on and
(07:39):
talk about growing mushrooms. That's kind of becoming. You know,
you can find these kids now. You used to find
them a long time ago, but now it's for real,
lots of kids out there that you can grow them
right in your own Remember the guy we used to
have on in Central Ohio, the Magic the Mushroom Wizard.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Or or something like that. Yeah, yeah, And I haven't
heard from them for one I'm not sure what happened there.
I think I know.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
But anyway, we're gonna have Pete rich Richmond on from
a Rich Life Farm, so the other two of them,
and as a matter of fact, we get him scheduled
for three segments. We're gonna talk about all kinds of yeah,
and then of course you and of course Gary Salivan
at the end and Danny and me in between.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Very cool. So the website is Ron Wilson Online dot com,
Facebook page in the garden with Ron Wilson and the
chat room is up and running and speaking of seeds
from the earlier guest, Burpie Seed is doing something really
cool for next year.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Interesting. I know you got that pressure release too. That
was kind of neat there with the big two hundred
and fiftieth anniversary. They went back and put these seed
collections together from George Washington's garden, from Thomas Jefferson's garden,
and I think it's Martha's seeds actually from George's. He's
got well, they have a four or five of these
seed collections of old heirloom seeds from way back and
(08:56):
their gardens so you can replicate their gardens your garden
this year. Yeah, twenty twenty six. So it's pretty cool.
And the link is on your yeah walk page. Yeah,
so you go right to that Lincoln go check them out.
It's Burpie. See, it's always fun with burpe purp Yeah. Yeah,
you can't go wrong with purpley purpis and Johnny's you know,
(09:17):
got it right at the top. Rita is making brisket. Yeah,
she is specifically a Hanica brisket. That is what she said.
That's what she what she said, I know what she said, honey,
And then I kind of looked at her little but yeah,
it looks pretty good. I've never had that one, but
that looks pretty dark.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
It does look some reasons I believe as os oras. Yeah, brisket,
and it could be done the croc. That's you. So
that's definitely something that I could do. That's Joe Strekker
right there. Yeah, put it in the crock walk away.
Walk away for eight hours. Yeah, take a nap, yep,
(09:58):
two naps. Start to smell it. I could probably take
two naps. Take one quick look in there, just to
stir it a little bit if necessary. Done, absolutely done, done, done.
And the plan of the week is Christmas fern.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Christmas fern. It's an evergreen fern, yep. And it's a
beautiful fern. Firns should be used a lot more in
shade guards and we just don't seem to think about ferns.
But obviously being Christmas time and you can see what
they look like, and it's called Christmas fern. Try to
pick use that for a pick of the year. But
keep ferns in mind for those shady areas. They actually
are not that hard to grow. And this one's a
(10:34):
tough one and it is evergreen. But check it out

Speaker 2 (10:39):
And speaking of Christmas ferns, Yes, if you watched Charlie
Brown Christmas this year, you did, have you? No? I
have none.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
The only Christmas special I've seen so far because we
just we have been, we've been on to go and
not watching was the thing that Kevin Cosner put together
this week. I thought it was a pretty interesting show.
Oh yeah, I didn't see that one.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
It was.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I heard about it, but I didn't see.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Yeah, it was. I thought it was pretty interesting. What's
called the First Christmas? Yeah, and he kind of they don't.
They do it based on the Bible writings and everything,
all the scriptures, but he presents it in a way
that it more than likely would have been like back then.
Instead of just telling the story, he actually shows like
(11:22):
when they travel from from uh from their home to Bethlehem,
it just wasn't Joseph and Mary on a donkey. More
than likely it was a group of people because nobody
traveled by themselves back then. You always had to travel
in packs. Yeah, because of the Romans and August. Anyway,
it was an interesting concept. I thought it was really uh.
I thought it was very fascinating, very well done.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
So cool.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
You get a chance to watch and watch, But no,
we haven't seen it. I haven't seen any Hallmark movies.
I've seen nothing so far.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
I watched Charlie Brown Christmas this week. You know, that's
one of your favorites, and it's the one the favorite
of mine. And the Christmas fern is looks just like
the tree Charlie Brown's Charlie Brown's tree. So don't those
leaves have a little hooked like stockings stockings on there?
If I'm not mistaken. Yeah, so there you go. There
(12:12):
you go. So all right, Well, I'll let you get
on with the show, and I'll talk to you next week.
And now on with the show. Exit stage lifts next week,
and I think next week is the last one for
the year, because the next to bea well the one,
well least the ones that I'm on, because we're off
(12:36):
from the radio station here maybe maybe not.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
No, get the twentieth and the twenty seventh, that's right,
so we get two more. That's right, you're right post
your Christmas and yeah, you're right, you're right. So you
know we got to you before we say, uh, pop

other go joke? Can you believe in other years going by?

Speaker 1 (17:31):
Welcome back here in the Garden with Ron Wilson again
that toll free number eight hundred eight two three eight
two five five talking about yardening and yes, I want
to go back to what Joe and I were talking
about with the commemorative seed collection that the American Horticultural
Society teamed up with Burpie. And yeah, Burpie, I mean
you can't go yea Burpie's been around. What there are
(17:53):
This is our one hundred and fiftieth, one hundred and
fiftieth anniversary. Uh, crazy stuff there. But they teamed up
together to put these four historic seed collections together, and
they also when they did that, they also have their
anniversary historic Breakthroughs. It's a book that they have. It
(18:15):
be a great garden gift that they have. It's thirty
bucks and it talks about all of their plants from
the past that they have developed over the years that
you're probably still growing. Tell us about those in the
history of Burpie. Pretty cool book. I will be ordering
one for myself, no doubt about it golden Banam, sweet corn,
black Beauty egg plant, Ford Hook, Giant Swiss chart. Remember
(18:37):
we had Sarah on a couple of weeks ago out
in California. We had the pictures of the giant Swiss chart.
It was about four feet tall. Well, that was the
Ford Hook and that was developed in nineteen twenty four.
Nineteen twenty four. How about this one? Do you remember
there's one big boy tomato. Of course you do, Snowbird
sugar snat piece. Fourth of July tomato one of my
(19:00):
absolute favorites is one of the top introductions for Burpie.
And I still say Fourth of July tomato when I
recommend that one. It's the first ever medium slicer that
it's ready by the fourth of July, and they really are.
There's very early tomato and they produce like crazy all
summer long. But that's the fourth of July back in
(19:21):
nineteen ninety eight. But I still recommend that one. It's great.
But anyway, what a great book, and it's Burpee's historic
breakthroughs one hundred and fifty years of first from their
Burbie seed collections and then the seed packs. There are
four of them. Thomas Jefferson's Revolutionary Garden, Martha Washington's Kitchen Garden,
(19:43):
a Colonial door herb garden, and then the Declaration bouquet
with a combination of reds and yellows and white flowers,
all from Burpie. And again the link for you to
go check with this out is on our website at
Ron Wilson online dot com. Check it out. Definitely an't
going to be ordering the book and maybe a couple
of these packs of seeds as well. Eight hundred eight
(20:05):
two three eight two five five That is our number
here in the garden, Ron Wilson.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Not gardening questions. Ron has the answers and one eight
hundred eight two three talk you are in the garden

Speaker 1 (22:15):
Talking to your nig at eight hundred eight two three
eight two five five getting ready for the big storm
coming through.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
We had one about what about a week and a
half ago down with five inch four to five inches
around the area. Yeah, didn't really slow us down. I
think everybody was ready for that one and kind of
got the roads cleared quickly. Got a second when we
got a little snow a couple of nights ago, it
was nice little dusting.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
And then of course tonight coming through. Now they're talking
four to six inches in our area. Uh, you know,
and you have to say that the cold weather. They're
talking four tonight, twelve on Sunday, very cold next week.
Thank you Mother Nature for bringing in the five inches
of snow, and it's then.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
It's supposed to be like in the fifties at some
point next week.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
So it's going to come back up again and then
all go away. But thank mother Nature for the blanket
of snow coming in today as the temperatures continue to drop,
because you know as well as I do, that is
a blanket of insulation for all those root systems, for
everything underneath that. It's blanket of snow. It's insulating, and
them going to get back up to the fifties, it'll melt,
(23:16):
go back into the ground water our plans for us,
that's exactly what we can use. So we'll take it.
But we'll take that snow cover as well. Thank you
Mother Nature for helping us out as we dip in it.
It's funny how she does that sometimes a lot of
times when we're going to dip into those colder temperatures.
Eight hundred and eight two three eight two five five.
Speaking of catalogs, if you haven't gotten your orders out
(23:37):
there yet, if you're not a regular on their mailing list,
make sure you get out there and get some gardening catalogs.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Great inspiration for you to read through and see what's
coming on a lot of them.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
I think I've really added to their information and their catalogs.
I'm always a big one for Burpie. We talked about
that early and they do have great information in there.
You can always count on Burpie, Johnny's Seeds. I actually
I keep Johnny Seeds catalog with me all the time.
Great info there talking about planting and charts and all
(24:10):
kinds of stuff. They do a great job. Make sure
you get theirs. Baker Creek sometimes it's called Rare and
Unusual Seeds or Baker Creek Seeds for heirloom unbelievable, what
a fantastic catalog. Totally Tomato, I love that one. And
then Gardener's Supply. I love that one as well for
(24:30):
gardening supplies. And there are a lot of others too
that I enjoy. But those are some of the tops
that I would make sure you get your hands on.
And speaking of which, this past week, I got an
envelope in the mail from our good friends Sandra and
Tom zilly I from Doylestown, Ohio, and they've been listening
to our show forever, they said, and got involved with
(24:53):
gardening in their community. Garden do vegetable gardening there, and
we're at an antique show, big antique show in Columbus, Ohio.
Said they were looking through and they found what they
mailed to me is a gardening catalog from nineteen thirty one.
It's a Henry Field's seed book and they were in Shenandoah,
(25:15):
Iowa at the time spring nineteen thirty one. This book
is still an outstanding condition, so I have gently read
through it. It's a hoot to read through these old books,
to look at the garden collections, the writings that are
in here, and of course there's no pictures. It's all
drawings and illustrations. This has color in it, which is surprising.
But what they do here's their special you ready. They
(25:39):
have garden seed collections where they have a whole collection
of seeds, packages of seeds to complete your entire vegetable garden. Beans, beats, cabbage, salery, carrots, cucumbers,
let us onions. Partially, I mean in the whole nine yards,
all the way down to salsify tomatoes, everything you would
(26:01):
need to grow in your vegetable gardens. You get a
pack of seeds for all these different there's twenty six
packs in your garden seed collection. All right, guess how
much the garden seed collection was in nineteen thirty one.
Twenty six packs one dollar, one dollar. And what's interesting
(26:22):
is you turn itto the next page. Of course, they
sell paint, and they sell gardening coats and all horses
harnesses for plowing in that. But it's a letter from
Henry Field and he's writing to you about their business
and all. He got to picture of the family in there,
and he says, yes, plant a good big garden. I
(26:42):
encourage you to plant a good big garden. That's the
way to beat the high cost of living. And it's
the only way to have nice, fresh and tasty things
that we all like. That was written in nineteen thirty one,
and nothing has changed since then. He's absolutely correct. Great
when he talks about also being they were on the
(27:03):
radio at the time sharing gardening tips way back in
nineteen thirty one on a weekly, regular basis, and it
was k f n F and in Nebraska kgb Z,
and they did it on a regular basis, and I
thought that was pretty interesting. But going through the catalog,
(27:25):
reading the descriptions, looking at the pricing and everything. It
was phenomenal. But I thought that was great. Be the
high cost of living. Grow your own, fresh, taste, good
plant the big garden. They also talk about they have annuals,
they have perennials, and they have nursery stuck that they
sell all the way through and in their annuals and perennials,
(27:45):
he talks about everybody would love to have a circle
of flowers in their lawn. The circle of flowers, you know,
is everybody's dream and everybody's goal to have one or
more circle of flowers in your garden. And I looked
at the drawing and the illustration, and you think back
to some of the pictures that I have seen of
grandmas and grandpa's way back when in their gardens having
(28:07):
these circles of flowers. He was right. But they have
a cannon is in it, and then all the annuals
around the outside and all pretty cool. I mean, it's
just like wow, that still applies today. Sweet peppers California Wonder,
California Wonder, nineteen thirty one. And guess what they refer
to them in the description A great mango, A great
(28:29):
mango with sweet flavor mango, and my parents called the
green peppers mangoes back when I was growing up, so
my grandparents, but it was referred to as a mango.
So they talked about California wonder and they list a
whole bunch of sweet peppers. And the one hot pepper
that they have available shows you where hot peppers have
(28:49):
come today, was red cayenne. And it even says in
the description, a really hot one, red cayenne will spice
up whatever you know you're gonna you're gonna cook with
red cayenne pepper was the real hot one in nineteen
thirty one, and I was blown back. French breakfast radish.
(29:10):
I knew it was an oldie, but I didn't know
when back that far. French breakfast radish was available in
nineteen thirty one, and you know another one. It was
a big one. And I still know folks that grow
this not as much anymore because nobody cooks with it
as much as it used to. Is salsify. It's a
root crop and it was common names like a poor
(29:31):
man's oyster or a vegetable oyster. When you cook with
it, it tastes like oysters, and it's called salsify and easy
to grow, but you just every now and then you'll
see it in a produce some market, but just not
that often. I rarely hear from folks that grow salsify
in their garden. But it tasted like oyster, so when
you added a little bit of milk to it when
(29:52):
you're cooking it, you could use it for soups and
all kinds of things that you needed at oyster flavoring.
That's where that came from. But it was it's just
a great catalog. I want to thank them for sending
it to me. They said, I know, I appreciate some
of the things from way back in the old days,
and I certainly do this a great catalog. I will
be tucking this one away because it's in really good
(30:13):
shape and I very gingerly turned the pages, still has
all the order forums in it, and everything is crazy.
By the way, Henry Fields no longer in existence, but
you may recognize that the company that took them over
is called Gurney's Gurney Seeds, and that's the one that's
going on today. But no more Henry Field. So thanks
again to Sandra and Tom Zelle I and Doylestown, Ohio
(30:35):
for the Henry Fields nineteen thirty one catalog. I totally
enjoyed reading through that page by page. Before we take
a break, let's go to Dayton.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Dick from Dayton, good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 6 (30:46):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (30:47):
I am absolutely outstanding. How's Dick from Dayton?
Speaker 6 (30:50):
Good good. I've got a couple of cards from Laura
Listeners and DY five. It was kind of nice, they
hear me. I can't think the name Scott, and I
think was Gott and Julie was pretty, very pretty.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Card, very nice, very nice. Yeah, so you're starting to
get a few Christmas cards.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Here and there.
Speaker 6 (31:11):
Oh yeah, I've got about so far. Yeah, yeah, I
got about eight.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
So yeah, you notice every year we don't get quite
as many as we did the year before. Yeah, Fewer
and fewer people are setting those Christmas. I still do
that a little bit with some of the family and
and yeah. All but yeah, you don't get the amount
that you used to get, no doubt, no, no.
Speaker 6 (31:32):
Are you ready for the the blizzard they say coming
or maybe the bringing on.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
That's why bringing on. We'll deal with it.
Speaker 6 (31:40):
The roads bad this morning?
Speaker 1 (31:42):
When you all clear? All clear? So they're ready to go.
Speaker 6 (31:46):
So yeah, that's good.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
We'll get it and you can just hunker down and
play music and have fun indoors until they get the
roads cleared.
Speaker 6 (31:54):
Yeah, yeah, it's uh. Eddie came yesterday, my best friend.
He came because he had they to do. We were
just looking about that storm, you know. But not predict
the Bengals to win this week. You are my prediction.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
It's going to be pretty cold. Twelve degrees for the.
Speaker 6 (32:10):
Game, yeah, twelve yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Yeah, but so Bengals and Ravens. What's the score?
Speaker 6 (32:18):
I said, twenty seven to twenty.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Twenty seven to twenty Bengals. You got it right there, folks,
have you betting on the Bengals. There's the score to you.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
I have marked the tape.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Mark the tape.
Speaker 6 (32:29):
Thank you, Daniel, You're welcome. Well, guys, have a good day.
Speaker 2 (32:33):

Hunker down through the storm, play music, keep everybody happy
until they get the roads cleared and then we all

Speaker 2 (34:33):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
I am run Wilson, your personally yard boy, and we
are talking yarding. Don't forget our websites. Run Wilson online
dot com. Rita's recipe this week is a brisket, absolutely outstanding,
and last week we weren't able to post her her
recipe or the week uh didn't make it on there,
but it's on there now and it's there her uh brittle,
you know, the the peppermint brittle, and it's an outstanding one.
(34:58):
She gets a lot of requests for that one, and
like I said, we weren't able to put it up
last week, but we got it up for you. Peppermint bark,
I'm sorry, not brutal peppermint bark, and it's up there
for you as well. Be sure and check it out.
There's an interesting story up there about how colorful murals
can be a catalyst for climate and community action. Read
that one. If you get some empty walls in your community,
(35:19):
that could actually stand a nice colorful mural. Some of
the benefits of doing that is on our website and
of course at commemorative seed collection from Burpie. The link
to do that is on there as well, and our
plan of the week Christmas fern and yes, those little
pennies which is the individual little leaf on the fern stem.
(35:40):
It's evergreen, so it's green year round, look like a
little Christmas stocking, has a little boot at the bottom
and hold on yards, so be sure and check that out.
By the way, we are at that time of the
year where your local independent garden center, your local nurseries,
local greenhouses, local growers are getting their plant lists together
for twenty twenty six now for nursery stock. They've been
(36:01):
doing that two and three years out and so a
lot of times new nursery plants woody plants that are
introduced in twenty twenty five may not be available till
twenty twenty seven, twenty eight, depending on the production levels,
one of which we talked about this earlier this spring
and it hasn't changed yet. So the production numbers are
still very low, but they're going to promote the heck
(36:23):
out of it. It's called Centennial ruby hydrangea. It's four
obviously the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary. It's a macrofila.
It's a red flowers, very attractive. The stems are dark
in colored, dark green leaves. Is a macrophyla, but a
flowers on old and new wood, about three to three
(36:46):
feet tall and wide, hearty to zone four. So it's
a tougher party one. But numbers will be very limited.
As a matter of fact, our nursery, which is a
fairly large nursery, and we go through a lot of plants.
They're all I've only been able to commit a very
small number at the beginning of the season for twenty
twenty six for us to sell. So if you put
(37:07):
it on your list, you might want to check with
your local nursery see if they're going to get any
end centennial ruby, and maybe put your name on a
waiting list or something because number is going to be
low for a while. Then I was told by July
production numbers will pick up more and more, and of
course it'll become available. Then the rooty cuttings we've become
available another year and we can start growing on ourselves.
Blah blah, blah. But anyway, it's a centennial ruby hydrangia,
(37:30):
and you will see it being promoted quite a bit
coming through January and February as we go into that
two hundred and fifteenth celebration. But at this time, what
I was saying is they're they're ramping up right now
with their production of what they're going to be growing
annuals and perennials, which can be adjusted on an annual basis.
Perennials typically yes, and some of the newer ones might
(37:51):
be difficult to get older rooted cuttings or whatever, but
they can change and update and see and all that.
So if there are are annuals, especially or if there
are vegetables especially that you know do a great job,
but unfortunately your local independent garden center, nursery, greenhouse, whatever
(38:13):
does not grow or sell them, you may want to
print out some information about it, go see them and say, hey,
I've grown this or we've grown this for several years
or whatever and have gotten fantastic results. The All American
selections that we are out there every year, those are
typically already they're proven that they're going to do a
(38:34):
nice job for you in your area. So you know, again, Mike,
I want to take that list and show them what
if they don't have it already, what's out there. But
now's the time to put your request list together so
that they will grow or try to get the seeds
and grow some of these for you. So I'm asking
you as we're putting our list together and we're pretty
well there, but we always leave room to add to
(38:56):
it the tomatoes. What tomatoes have really done well for
you that you totally enjoy that maybe you don't see
too much out there available in local garden centers, greenhouses, nursery,
et cetera. I'll give you, for instance, woodstock. That's a
Johnny Seed introduction and we grew that for the first
time this year and had absolutely great results with it.
(39:20):
But it's called woodstock. It's a green kind of an orange.
It's a green tomato, very sweet, very flavorful. I love
green tomatoes. I think we're gonna see more of these
bicolor green, red, green, orange, green, yellow tomatoes coming under
the market, more and more of it. It's called woodstock.
And someone had suggested that to us last year and
we added to our list and everybody I know so
(39:42):
far that grew it did an outstanding job with it.
The Aas which I mentioned earlier, has a tomato that
I had a couple of people again ask about. And
I have not tried this one, but usually all the
things they go through through and all the testing and
all these are usually pretty much total winners. As in
(40:05):
the Aas winter the tomato is called butt a Bang,
another cherry tomato, but with butt a ban it's a
larger cherry tomato. But what's so unique about this one?
It shows resistance against septoria leaf spot, which can be
a major issue. My mom got into that in early
blight this year, and man, it just her tomato. Some
(40:26):
of her vines look horrible, still produced, but looked horrible,
but septoria leaf spot, early blight, and late bought blite.
It's resistant to all three of those, all right, So
you'll stay a lot healthier, your plants will all season long.
Better tomatoes, great flavor, juicy and for a one and
a half inch bright red cherry fruit. It is crack resistant,
(40:49):
so if the rains come through and they hit your plants,
this one shows pretty good resistance to cracking, and so
you've got a nice solid tomato. Good one and again
we're growing. We added this to our list thanks to
the American Association all American Selections, and I had a
couple of people ask we were going to grow it
as well, but it's called buda bing, so we added
(41:12):
that to our list. We'll have that out there. But
my question to you is are there other ones out
there that you have enjoyed? And if so, make sure
you let your local independent garden center know and let
me know and share with everybody else so that we
can kind of take a look at tomatoes or anything
really in the vegetable garden or annuals or perennials that
(41:32):
you've had tremendous success with and share that on our
show because it's fun hearing from folks that have experience
with let me, let's face the facts. When it comes
to tomatoes and peppers and all these you can't grow
them all. There's no room. And so every year you
try to grow two or three new ones out there
just to get a better feel. But I love it
when folks let us know what they have grown and
(41:53):
has been successful. So let me know if you don't
of any tomatoes you're going to add or that you
really like, and let you're a low garden center know
as well, so they can put it on their list.
But share, share your favors with us, or tomatoes or
that that didn't do well, let us know about those
as well. All Right, we're gonna take a break. When
we come back from the break, we'll be taking your
calls at eight hundred eight two three, eight two five five.
