Eight hundred eight two three eight twofive five. Good morning. I am
Ron Wilson, your personal yard.Avoid talking about yard. Dang. We're
gonna kick off our show as wenormally do, with a cup of Joe.
Mister Joe Strecker, executive producer.Let's find out what's going on his
lawn and his landscape. Probably nottoo much right now, of course.
Our website at Ron Wilson online dotcom and the Facebook page in the garden
with Ron Wilson. Good morning,kind sir. Just a cup of Joe
(00:59):
today. Just a cup of Joe, one cup or two, that's your
call. Mhm. It's you know, it's always interesting when you are here
like filling in for Dan, yeah, actually producing the show. Yeah,
it's always two cups, and attimes it has been three. That was
back in the day when you whenwe just when you just come in and
(01:21):
just do this just whereas you andme, it's typically just one cup,
sometimes an extended version. But isthat okay? I just think it's interesting.
The extended version, I guess isdecaf. Is that what it is?
Because you need a lot more inorder to favor it, right,
Yes, that's true. There yougo, so do you have a good
week. Yeah, it's all right, getting rain. We got a little
(01:44):
bit of rain. Good. Whatdid what day? Did that rain though?
Is it? I don't know,pup showers? I can't don't remember.
All the day is kind of runningtogether. I know we got some
rain Wednesday, I believe, andover the weekend we got hit. But
yeah, I think that's uh long. Still green, lawn is green.
(02:04):
Yes, good. Banana is stillgrowing. Bananas still growing. Did he
get any taller? It hasn't,but the pups are getting taller. There
you go. That's a good thing. That's a good thing. Yep.
Right, So yeah, and wherewe honestly, we're just getting ready for
our fence to get put in,so we got we're hoping that our our
(02:27):
name gets uh gets picked here soon. So because it's supposed to out of
the fencing lottery. Yeah, isn'tthat crazy. It's amazing how how busy
they are. When we scheduled it, they said eight to ten weeks.
It's nuts. So okay, folksthat's talking about them in their kitchen,
redone and they keep putting them off, putting them off, putting them off
because they don't have people to getout there and do the kitchen or whatever
(02:50):
it may be. What a crazything. Yeah, so our fence eventually,
hopefully we'll go up here soon.Yeah, eight to ten weeks out
from I don't know, the beginningof the middle of June, so should
be in the eighth to ten aweek. It's just a backyard, right
yeah, okay, Yeah, youcan run around the front of the house.
(03:12):
Yeah, well they'll gate up front. No we're not. We can't.
I don't think our neighborhood lets usdo that. Let's go set Yeah,
probably not. I remember people usedto do that, to have a
little off fence all the way aroundon gate in front, over the front
walk away. But yeah, Idon't I don't think that can be day.
But but we're gonna put a backyardfence in chain link, just you
(03:36):
know, just the dogs can runaround and keep contained and you know,
off a leash, yes right now. I mean, you know, our
neighbors didn't really mind it that theywere off leashed, and some of the
times they'd run in their yards orafter a bundy or something. But we
got a new neighbor to our toour left, and they got h he's
(03:58):
got three dogs and he put afence up just to keep his dogs contained,
and we just kind of thought itwas a good idea just yeah,
to kind of keep them separated anyway, So cool if you'll get it.
But it was it was time good. It was time good. So that's
that's really all that's going on inmy yard. Do you know what yesterday's
(04:19):
date was? Friday? It waseight eleven, eight eleven. Does that
number mean anything to you? No, come on eight eleven, call eight
one one. Oh okay, Ithat was that was stretch. That didn't
(04:40):
come to my mind. I knewit wouldn't, but uh, yes,
but the should be the fence companytakes care of that. Yeah, but
I'm glad you brought up that broughtthat up because it was eight one one
yesterday and that's kind of now becometheir their national recognition recognition day. To
remember that it's important to dial eightone one. It's a law in most
states to die, I think itin all states now to dial eight one
to one and have your utilities markedbefore you dig any holes in your property.
(05:03):
Does that include like just plants too, that includes digging trees, holes
for trees or whatever it may be. So every job we go to our
landscape, we have to call eightone to one get the utilities marked just
before we go out and put ourtrees and shrubs in. So I'm putting
some petunias in my front yard andthat technically yeah, but no, that's
not the petunias. But any digging, like fence posts, you know,
(05:26):
put a new mailbox in, puttingyour fence in, you know, anything
like that. Most definitely planting treesand shrubs, yep. Most definitely to
make sure you don't hit the utilities. So dialate one one. It's an
absolute free service. You got togive them at least three to four days
to come out and mark that foryou. But you can email them,
you can, you can call themwhatever it may be. And I think
(05:47):
every state has their own, sogot to do it. So falls coming
up falls a great time for planting. And if you're gonna be planting trees
and shrubs or whatever and you've neverdone that before and you think you know
where the utilities are, don't justassume. And here's the tip. They
smart paint your grass. They didwell in most cases. They spray paint
the grass. And there's different colorsfor different utilities. Or sometimes they'll use
(06:10):
flags. Most of the time it'sspray paint the grass. When they spray
paint the grass, don't go aheadand mow over the spray paint. Correct
And a lot of times one timemowing still leaves a lot of it there,
so that you know it does stillshow, because sometimes they'll come out
a week or two before you're likethe landscape company is going to get there.
So if you have to mow,just you know, it'll it'll usually
(06:30):
stay long enough for them to seeit. But yeah, that's that's important.
So eight one one yesterday was theyou know, just to try to
remember they you know, got adial eight one to one or click eight
one one or whatever it may be. But have marked utilities which they will
do for your your fence. Thereyou go even though there's no utilities in
your backyard exactly so and also rememberif a landscape firm is coming out to
(06:50):
your house or anybody, if youwould if you installed your own utilities,
like you ran that electric line backto the she shed, or you ran
a little pipe back to wherever tohave some extra water, remember where you
did that, so they don't cutthat either, So keep that in mind
too. So there you go.Eight one one cool you did No,
(07:14):
we don't good. That would havebeen yeah, why didn't you do hand
whoever? Your producer sucks? Yeah, really so that's horrible. Gosh geez.
Any other guests other than uh Ritais on with us today is Yeah,
we're gonna talk about her garden andthings that she's doing right now.
I think that the sales and cherriesand bourbon really went up last week.
(07:38):
I think all across the country,everybody's trying to do her cherry bounce recipes.
I thought she was doing that doingplus locally where she lives. Yeah,
they sold out, just decided justto everybody else in America think cherry
bounce. Yeah. So you know, she's busy. It's a busy young
lady. So we'll talk with her. We got Gary Solomon of course,
and then of course of Buggy JoeLoggs cool and any in between. And
(08:00):
you at the beginning and you're stuckwith me through all three hours. Yeah,
but people will get over that.The website is Ron Wilson online dot
com and a couple of people getover there. Some updates. One is
you know there was a tip sheetor alert sheet about chiggers. Yes,
I've never really looked up what atigger looked like. Yes, those things
(08:26):
are scary looking. It is littlemite. I always thought that they kind
of looked like I thought I alwaysthought they looked like something else. But
they look like those little red oneslike something else. Well, that's what
people confuse that they think those arechiggers concrete mites, little red mice,
and they are a mite. Butthat's that the people get confused with the
(08:48):
two of those. And it's obviouslythe chiggers are much smaller than the ones
you see on the concrete. Yeah, there's the ones that gets you.
And did you hit some of thefacts out of that and the fact that
they don't burrow themselves down into yourskin and yeah, you witch and they
go her and all that kind ofstuff that doesn't that's not so a lot
of interesting. Yeah, that's becausethat was that was that one was was
really enlightening. Yeah, so learnmore about chiggers. So August is check
(09:11):
your tree month. I know we'rea couple of weeks in, so check
your tree for especially for the Asianlonghorn betough that's the big one. Yeah,
and uh in addition to Rita comingon the show today, she has
got a nice recipe for you ifyou have a couple of little extra tomatoes
that you grew up your yard thisyear. Mm hmm, she's she's got
a recipe for a spot show.Gaspacho. I'm not a guess. It's
(09:33):
okay, not one of my favorites, but it's all right. Somebody makes
it for me in service to me, I'll eat it. Yeah, but
it's a great recipe, though I'mneither here I've had it. I have
not had it, and I've nothad gi spot sho before, so I
can't really I've had that at oneof the cooking classes I have, like
not eating my tomato soup and it'sgotten cold. That's not the same thing
(09:56):
as it. I don't think thatcounts. Not the same thing. No,
sorry, that doesn't count. Actually, you have a favorite soup tomatoes?
My favorite soup? Well, gosh, I got a lot of favorite
soups. Boy, I can't evenI can't. I tell you what.
(10:16):
My My favorite soup of all timeis that Jolie that Olive Garden has.
Okay, that is awesome. Ilove that And I even have a coffeecat
recipe at home to make that,and that's probably one of my favorite soups.
(10:37):
But I kind of like, youknow, when I was a kid,
I didn't really eat soup that much, and I kind of fought it
whenever mom made. I never atea soup day. But now I've gotten
older, I'm pig bowl of soup. And then you know, yeah,
like creamy tomato soup with a girlcheese or or you know, a nice
(11:00):
bean soup on a on our coldJanuary bean soup is good with a with
a ham bone in it. Youknow, do you like chewing a hambone
while your dog's cheesy broccoli baked potatosoup? Yes, I bet that's I
(11:20):
love I love all that. That'sthat's good stuff. Cool lobster biscuit,
m home made chicken noodle. Yeah, yeah, that's good. So and
you were especially speaking of working,uh, you were working double time this
week. We got two Plants ofthe Week. Well, I had to
do it first of all last weekwhen we had a couple weeks ago.
(11:41):
They had the Russian sage, whichis in flour everywhere. Yeah. The
other one you're seeing everywhere right now, which is great and a lot of
folks are using it, are rude, Beccy, black eyed Susan And of
course the one that I really likeis the American gold Rush, and that
was a perennial of the year acouple of years ago, and that thing,
it's just proven to be an absolutewinter, no doubt about it,
and it has showing its colors rightnow. It is phenomenal what it's doing.
(12:03):
So again, we've got that featured. But you know, we had
to feature the other one, yep, because it's that time of the year,
that time of the year where youdrive around in your car and make
sure you have someone in the passengerseat, yep, and when you drive
by, you scream, hey,look there's some naked ladies exactly, and
your passenger goes, what, huhwhat, And exactly it's the naked ladies
(12:26):
are up. And I have plentyin my yard that they came up a
couple weeks ago. So yeah,as a matter of fact, that I'm
kind of late on some of thembecause they've been up for a couple of
weeks. Yeah, but I'm seeinga lot of beds just now starting to
come up, So we're we're rightthere. But naked ladies. Naked ladies
have come up putting their show andall of the gardens where they've been planted,
so in our area anyway, Sothat's always we feature that one every
(12:46):
year because it's so much fun.The thing about having the naked ladies in
the yard. Yeah, it's kindof like the end of summer. It
starts to signal that things are there. You're right, and it's like then
we're getting into the the bird monthsand where it's just where you can't go
barefoot in the yard. According toyour mother, Missus Striker, I love

I love the bird months. Usuallyrand my birthday usually gets really cold.

there. No, I'm not inthis room anyway. You're the army of
one in this room anyway. Yeah, that's what I'm saying, all right,
(13:33):
Well, one cup to day.I sent for me to head on
out and go get some sausage burritos. I texted doctor Z this week because
they had a big storm going throughDC. He had all the warnings,
So I asked him if he hadthe bowser batting down. He sent me
a picture. The dog was layingon his legs. He said he was
scared to death. There's the thunder, lightning, everything going on. Yeah,
(13:54):
so he was like hanging on himlike a tick. Was was doctor
Z on one knee? No,he was lined in the recliner. Gotcha.

(17:56):
in the garden with Ron Wilson againthat toll free number eight hundred eight to
three eight two five five, talkingabout yardening, working our way into that
fall season. You can see itnow, can't you. The light at
the end of the summer tunnel isright there, and fall is right on
the other side of that light,and head toward the light, head toward
the light. I cannot wait forthe fall season. What you don't like
(18:21):
the fall? I like the fall. Not everybody does. I know Joe
doesn't because it starts to cool down. He wants to live in Phoenix,
which one hundred and ten every day. Well, with technology, he can
still do your cup of Joe fromout there. I don't want to go
out there, oh, he goeshim. Yeah, I get it.
Yeah, I would visit, butI don't live there. I wouldn't visit.
(18:41):
Too hot, too hot. Iwould visit, but it makes me
appreciate where I live. Anyway,it's right around the corner. So I
just throw this out because you know, now the kids are getting ready to
go back to school, and thepools are going to be closing here shortly,
and you start to wind down thesummer season, and you've been doing
your thing all summer and the wholenine yards, and a lot of folks
look at that, see that lightaround the corner, and they start saying,
(19:03):
you know what, when September getshere, September October, I'm ready
to throw in the trowel. Iam done. I have done my duty
for the summer with the gardener,whatever it may be, and I am
finished. And that is not agood attitude to have as we go into
the fall season, because fall isa great time for planting. And I'm
(19:26):
telling you right now, I knowlooking around our area and several states around
US, many states where box woodhave been damaged severely from that cold blast,
the long fall of the fall,dry fall, warm dry fall last
year, setting us up for thatcold blast that came through. Box were
just destroyed. A lot of folksnow are looking to replace those planting new
(19:48):
trees. You know you went toa hot summer. Now you can appreciate
why you need more shade trees,shade that house, shade that property,
screening off with evergreens. Fall isa great time to be doing that.
Now's the time to get your plansin place. We'll talk more about that.

(22:10):
You're in the garden with Ron Wilsonagain. That total free number would
be eight hundred eight two three eighttwo five talking about yard ning, and
you're sure about that. I ampositive that that's the number, at least
it was the last time I lookedor the last time I dialed it.
Did you change it on the stand? No, I wouldn't do that.
I wouldn't be that cruel. Youwouldn't. Yeah, we appreciate that.
(22:30):
Talking about seeing the light at theend of the tunnel. Yes, at
the end of the summer, andof course fall right around the corner.
And how important it is to getyour plans in place because of a couple
of weeks, we're going to bestarting to think about that. And I'm
as Joe and I were talking earlier. You know, you do see that
out there, you contract to havea new kitchen or bathroom or something done
on your home. And I've hadmore folks say, you know, we've
(22:52):
been waiting for this contractor or so, and so, you know, they
just keep putting us off because theyjust can't get the projects done that they
need to do. So they're allway behind. Well, you know,
the same thing kind of happens withlandscaping too. If you're looking now and
you're saying, you know, ifyou're going to do it yourself, great,
but again, you want to getyour plans in place, whether you
have somebody come out and draw alittle design for you, or if you
(23:14):
know a local independent garden center thatmay offer something like that. You know,
you take pictures in and some dimensionsand can draw or sketch something out
for you to follow, so youcan do it yourself. That's great,
but get that done now while they'rekind of slow, because right now,
obviously they're getting ready for the fallseason. Over the next couple of weeks,
they're going to see the garden centersagain start to stock back up in
(23:37):
the inventory may have been a littlebit low through the summer, but now
all of a sudden, you're goingto start to see nursery plants coming in.
You're going to see the mums andthe cabbages and the kales and all
the fall decorating plants starting to showup. So by the by time we
get to the first of September,they're all stocked and ready to go.
For you to do your fall thing. And again, fall is such a
great time for planting almost anything inevery thing, and the seasons are usually
(24:02):
it's so much easier. It lastslonger than the spring planting season. You
get things planted in the fall.And one of the biggest benefits of planting
in the fall, you know,and there's a lot of them that you
can throw out there, but oneof the biggest benefits is the fact that
more roots are developed on plants thatare planted in the fall, tree,
shrubs, evergreens, whatever it maybe. Then basically any other time the
(24:25):
rest of the year. Now theyput roots out through throughout the entire season,
but more are developed in September,October, November, and sometimes into
December as long as the soil temperaturestay warmer than any other time the rest
of the year. So as thetops are shutting down or slowing down in
evergreens cases, they're putting out thatnow they're putting out that energy into putting
out the more of a root system. So you get a jump start on
(24:48):
the spring season because you get themplanted, they've already started to put out
a few roots now, and againthey're not going to get established by the
end of the fall season. That'snot the deal. But they will start
rooting in through the fall and havea little more of a jumpstart than what
you would be doing in the springtime. And the springtime their goal is to
what put out new growth, flowerif they're a flowering plant, put all
(25:11):
that energy into that, get thatgoing, and in the meantime trying to
root as well. They don't haveany roots and they're depending on the root
ball. So it just you know, it's just one of the many reasons
why fall is such a great timefor planting. But point being is this,
if you're going to be doing thisstuff and you need some ideas,
you need suggestions, or you sayI'm not going to do it. I'd
(25:33):
rather have the professionals install it forme to design it and install it.
You need to get those landscape designersout to your house now. I guarantee
you they're not all that busy rightnow, you know, And don't wait
until the fall hits and then everybodystarts thinking about having planting done because the
same thing's going to happen, youlike with the kitchens and the bathrooms and
(25:55):
all that. Get your name onthe list now, so you're on the
list to go for planting in September, October, November. And like I
said, most landscape firms, dependingon the weather, will continue right up
until the holiday season. So wegot four months there. So again,
get the designers out, get yourplans in place. If you're going to
(26:15):
do it yourself, get some pictures, some dimensions, Get to your local
independent garden center, have somebody dosome sketching for you. You can do
your homework, look at the plantsthat you like, what you want to
plant there, and then be readyto go once we get into September,
October, November, and get youryour plants planted. And I like,
you know, you know, asfar as getting the planet in the sooner
(26:37):
you can is great because it givesme more time to get them, you
know, rooting themselves in. Anddo remember as we go through the fall
season, you're still gonna be wateringjust like you did. You know if
you had planted in the springtime orin the summer or last year, same
practices all go into too place.It's just that it's such a great time
for everybody involved and what's going onto be planting in the fall but get
(27:00):
your plans in place, get yourname on the list. If you're having
a professional install it, design itand install it. Do it now.
Don't wait. I'm telling you,are you gonna wind up getting on a
list and you're gonna get late.Next thing, you know, you're pushed
off. You're pushed off. It'sNovember. You start to get nervous,
start looking at the holiday season.Still haven't planted, you know, and
there's still plenty of time to plan. But people get a little nervous when
(27:21):
it gets that late in the season. But there's still time to plant.
But it's such a great season todo that. Get your name on the
list now, get the plans inplace, and get ready to go.
And of course the other one wouldbe if you have a warm season grasses,
this is going to be kind ofyour last shot as far as giving
that the final feeding before we getin the fall season, because you're not
going to be encouraging a lot ofnew growth as we get into the fall.
(27:41):
On the other hand, if youhave a cool season, lawn,
fescues rise, blue grass, thingslike that, don't forget September October are
you two most important once and eveninto November for everything you're going to do
for those launch the backbone to howwell they're going to perform in the future.
And so again like putting your plansin place, now's the time to
(28:04):
be doing that. Reevaluating your lawncool seasoned lawns to figure out what you
need to do to make it evenbetter. You know, you got some
areas that may have thinned out alittle bit. We'd seemed to pop up
there a little bit more than otherplaces. You know. I read an
interesting article and you were seeing thiskind of come up more and more all
the time. Why we don't domore overseating of turf on a more regular
(28:30):
basis Because they kind of compared it, and I thought it was kind of
interesting to weeds that move into areasthat then out weeds flower and seed,
and that's why you see so manyof them. So if we were seating
the lawn and doing all the culturalpractices to make it fuller, the weeds
can't compete. So why aren't wethinking more about that? Especially with the
(28:53):
turf type tall rescues. Remember eachseed that you put down produces one plant
in over time that one plan ortwo can actually die out. You know,
and then a little bit depending onall kinds of situations. So you
know, we should be looking atif you have a turf type tall escu
lawn, reseating or overseating an existinglawn, you know every what two or
(29:15):
three four years, or you know, every two or three years if needed
to keep it a little bit fuller. Because again all the cultural practices plus
doing a little additional seating helps tokeep that as thick as possible. And
that is the key, the backboneto keeping that you know, that lawn
looking good throughout the entire season.And of course we talk and also cultural
(29:36):
practices as inverted slicing, which islike when you when you use the slit
or slice set or cut grooves inthe top core. Aeration which is you
know, very very important, especiallySeptember October, you know, watering,
fertilizing obviously or two feedings in thefall, two most important feedings that you
can put out there for you weedcontrol in mid to late October is the
(29:56):
best time to do that. Soagain, put all those cultural practices together.
Watering is needed and then the overseedingand that should get that lawn back
together. But again that's another goodSeptember October fall thing that you gotta get
evaluation now. Get your plans inplace. You could even get out your
local independent garden center, get yourgrass seed, get your fertilizer, and
(30:18):
be ready to go once we getto the point where it's time to do
that. So again, you know, falls right around the corner. It's
only a few weeks away. Thelight is at the end of the tunnel.
Get your plans in place, becauseit is such a great time for
all kinds of things to be done. Don't throw in the trowel, all
right, And I'm not asking toget out there and do your spring gardening,
but there are some really really importantthings, timely things that can be
(30:41):
done in the fall, and it'sa great time for doing them. Dick
and Dayton. Dick, good morning, good morning. How are you?
I am great? How about yourself? Good? Good? Well, I
underestimate and I flipped over. Youknow what what that second street that's a
big Wills look pretty good. Theywere. You know, they had a
(31:02):
couple of mistakes, but I likedthat quarterback they got and this one guy
ran a couple for a touchdown.You know what kind of neat well they
got a couple of backups there thatnobody's really stepped up to the plate yet,
so hopefully that that will help alittle bit. But I don't know
if you heard before the pregame coverage, Joe Burrow is out on the field
kind of jogging a little bit andthrowing the football. So he had everybody
(31:23):
kind of fired up last night.Yeah, so it's showing he's that he's
right around the corner being healed andready to start playing again. You know
this is this is a coincidence thatI was saying that my family knew me
playing the bandolin. Yes, butI have we have had tell Danny do
(31:44):
we have had more concerts on theyuku leley and I'm telling you this play
the places we play at the nursinghomes or Senior said, there's so many
people there and I usually sit inthe back row, and uh, Sue
always says, well, Dick,he kind of cheated on us, but
(32:06):
he's still he's still a musician onthe bandolin. But I've got that ukulele
down now, Ron Good, I'mproud of you. Now. You know
what you have to do is kindof dedicate your playing of the ukulele to
the poor folks in Maui with thosefires out there. Isn't that terrible?
Oh, it's horrible. I justDanny and I were talking. I just
(32:28):
can't believe that that happened, butit did. But you know, now,
when you're playing that ukulele, Ialways think of the folks in Hawaii
the ukule and you'll have to dedicatewhat you play to the folks in Maui.
Yeah, you know, I go, uh, you know, I
get out early in the morning.But when it's hot that you know,
it's bad from where is it inthe California, the California the fires I
(32:52):
get so I have to take allergymedicine. That's the haze, you know
what. Oh yeah, yeah,coming down from Canada and all around it,

hundred eight two three eight two fivefive. Talking about yarding a website run
Wilson online dot com, got atext from the arbor doc Ron rothis a
little while ago said that we usuallyin our Facebook page in the garden with
Ron Wilson and us to do alittle chatting on Saturday morning. Joy has
to set up a special little thingthere to get so that everybody can chat
with each other. And I guessthat didn't post this morning, so they
(35:59):
are on the other one. Wehave another group that somebody set up a
long long time ago. It's justcalled in the Garden and it's the in
the Garden group page and you cango to that one, and that's where
they are chatting this morning. SoRon said, if you can't find them
in the Garden with Ron Wilson,go to in the Garden that's our group
page. A rare time where Joeforgot something I guess, or maybe let's
(36:20):
just blame it on the computer.It just didn't post. Maybe he really
want to those sausage burritos this morning, so he just left forgotten and forgot.
I don't know. But that's whereyou want to go if you would
like to chat with other gardeners.And Ron rothis as well. Tulu we
go. Debbie, good morning,Good morning. I wanted to ask you
about grass. I know someone somehave said just moved, but what chemical
(36:49):
do you use to control boma grass? Do you have existing lawn as well?
Is it growing in that or isit all by itself? Yes?
Yes, Bio Advanced which you tobe bear, has a special one that's
called Bermuda Bermuda grass control, andit is used in turf where you get
(37:09):
you know, try to spread it. And it takes multiple applications where it
will take out the bermuda grass anda few others as well, but not
your selected grass. So go toeither a local independent garden center or Audies
or somewhere and or I think evensome of them. Some of the box
(37:29):
stores may have it too, butit actually is labeled as a Bermuda grass
for lawns control, and that doesa fairly decent job. The problem I
had with that is sometimes you're notsure if you got it all or not.
And if you didn't, and youknow this, you didn't get it
all out of there, it'll comeright back up again. So I look
(37:50):
at that sometimes and say, look, here's the way I look at it.
I try to mark off the areawhere you know it is for sure,
and go out about another two orthree feet and I look to just
take everything out. So whether you'vegot grass there or muta grass, whatever
else happens to be in that area, you use a non selective vegetation killer
like kills all round up something likethat, where it takes everything out and
(38:15):
you do it and you give itabout ten days or two weeks, and
you go back and you do itagain if anything else is sprouting up,
and that way you pretty much knowyou've killed everything out. Then you come
back and either you know, reseedin that area, and which September is
a great time for doing that,receding starter fertilizer and get that new lawn
(38:36):
established nice and thick. I've evenhad in some cases folks that had it
really bad, you know, ina smaller area, go in with and
actually cut once they kill everything out, cut that up like a like a
sod, roll that up, throwit away, take it away, come
back in and either resawd or pullittle soil down and reseed. And that
(38:57):
way you got rid of all therhizomes, You got rid of anything that
was on the top, and thatway you're pretty much assured you got rid
of all of it. And thenyou start all over again. But I
think the thing to remember, dewi is if you don't get it all
and don't get that thicking back upagain, all of a sudden, it's
right back filling back in those bareareas, and you know it's it's a
it's a tough one, it reallyis. But those are the two options
(39:19):
I see for you to work with, and right now is the time to
be getting on that. Okay,all right, thank you so much.
All right, Debbie, good talkingto you. Appreciate the call. And
again that's it's a tough one.But when you get into that nimble will
sometimes or whatever, you know,you got to make sure you get everything
out of there. So if you'vegot it in an area where the lawnch
thinned a little bit and that's whereit usually moves in and takes over,
(39:40):
you know, you mark that areaoff, but then you go out into
the existing grass a little bit moreso to make sure that you get all
of it. And if you don'tget that all out of there, especially
the bermuda grass, it those rhizomes, they'll just come right back up,
and then you've kind of wasted yourtime, uh, taking care of it.
Now, the thing of it isit in the fall obviously that goes,
(40:01):
you know, shuts down. It'snot as likely to come back up
this fall. So hopefully you canget the lawn growing thicker, looking better
by the spring for when that startsto come back on again as the temperature
start to warm up. But againit's still in there. And you know
you could look at it that way, get the new grass up and going,
(40:21):
and then come back later in theseason with that bermuda grass killer that
doesn't hurt your lawn after that newlawn has been hardened off a little bit
more so that that would be anoption too, But sometimes you're just better
off going in and just getting ridof everything that's there, cleaning it all
out, and again the sad removal. You know, you can take a
(40:43):
square spade, nice sharp square spade. There are hand sowd cutters, or
you can rent sod cutters, andyou can come in and you slice that.
You roll it up and you takeoff that top inch and a half
or so layer. You roll itup, just like cutting sod. You've
now removed all those isomes, anyseeds that may be there. You roll
it up, you get rid ofit. You know, you know,
(41:05):
you can do whatever you want withit, but get rid of it,
and then come back and either sawed, which would be perfect to place the
sowd right back in into that areaso it's instant and it fills up the
gap that you picked up when youpull the sad up or add a little
top soil there, you have anice prep bed for your seeds. Then
come back seed over top starter fertilizeras the seed starts to germinate, and
(41:25):
fill it back in again. Butyou know, just work really hard to
make sure you get all that outof there, or you could be wasting
your time, you know, go, you know, not getting it all
out, and it's gonna pop rightback up again for you. And again,
one of the great things that wewant to think about right now with
cool seasoned lawns is that you're atthat point. So you're looking right now
to do whatever needs to be donefor renovation. If you need to kill
(41:47):
everything out. And remember if youuse it, you know you maybe you
look at your lawn, backyard,front yard, whatever may be, and
you say, you know what,it's such a duke's mix of all kinds
of stuff and weeds. And I'vesowed ten different types of grass seat out
there. I have no idea what'seven growing here. I just want to
get rid of it and start allover. Now's the time to do that.
To use a non selective vegetation killerand kill everything out, kills all
(42:08):
round up, whatever it may be, Kill everything out. You want to
give it at least ten days ortwo weeks to make sure it doesn't green.
Back up, come back in withthe second application of needed. Where
does that put you versus September?When's the best time for seeding in our
area? Middle of August through theend of September. That's the best window.
And we still have a little bittime in October. But why wait?
This is those are the best windows, so take it during that time.
(42:30):
So timing wise, you are rightthere. Get out and evaluate your
lawn this weekend. Take a lookat it, see what you need to
do. All right, to takequick break, we come back Rita Hike
and Feld. Oh yeah, everybodyloves Rita. Coming up next here in
the garden with Ron Wilson, LandscapingLadies. Here with your personal yard boy.
(43:04):
He's in the garden and he's RonWilson. The Best way to wake
up in the morning on Cup ofCoffee and Ryan Thomas Monday morning at five
on fifty five KRC, the talkstation
Eight hundred eight two three eight twofive five. Good morning. I am
Ron Wilson, your personal yard.Avoid talking about yard. Dang. We're
gonna kick off our show as wenormally do, with a cup of Joe.
Mister Joe Strecker, executive producer.Let's find out what's going on his
lawn and his landscape. Probably nottoo much right now, of course.
Our website at Ron Wilson online dotcom and the Facebook page in the garden
with Ron Wilson. Good morning,kind sir. Just a cup of Joe
(00:59):
today. Just a cup of Joe, one cup or two, that's your
call. Mhm. It's you know, it's always interesting when you are here
like filling in for Dan, yeah, actually producing the show. Yeah,
it's always two cups, and attimes it has been three. That was
back in the day when you whenwe just when you just come in and
(01:21):
just do this just whereas you andme, it's typically just one cup,
sometimes an extended version. But isthat okay? I just think it's interesting.
The extended version, I guess isdecaf. Is that what it is?
Because you need a lot more inorder to favor it, right,
Yes, that's true. There yougo, so do you have a good
week. Yeah, it's all right, getting rain. We got a little
(01:44):
bit of rain. Good. Whatdid what day? Did that rain though?
Is it? I don't know,pup showers? I can't don't remember.
All the day is kind of runningtogether. I know we got some
rain Wednesday, I believe, andover the weekend we got hit. But
yeah, I think that's uh long. Still green, lawn is green.
(02:04):
Yes, good. Banana is stillgrowing. Bananas still growing. Did he
get any taller? It hasn't,but the pups are getting taller. There
you go. That's a good thing. That's a good thing. Yep.
Right, So yeah, and wherewe honestly, we're just getting ready for
our fence to get put in,so we got we're hoping that our our
(02:27):
name gets uh gets picked here soon. So because it's supposed to out of
the fencing lottery. Yeah, isn'tthat crazy. It's amazing how how busy
they are. When we scheduled it, they said eight to ten weeks.
It's nuts. So okay, folksthat's talking about them in their kitchen,
redone and they keep putting them off, putting them off, putting them off
because they don't have people to getout there and do the kitchen or whatever
(02:50):
it may be. What a crazything. Yeah, so our fence eventually,
hopefully we'll go up here soon.Yeah, eight to ten weeks out
from I don't know, the beginningof the middle of June, so should
be in the eighth to ten aweek. It's just a backyard, right
yeah, okay, Yeah, youcan run around the front of the house.
(03:12):
Yeah, well they'll gate up front. No we're not. We can't.
I don't think our neighborhood lets usdo that. Let's go set Yeah,
probably not. I remember people usedto do that, to have a
little off fence all the way aroundon gate in front, over the front
walk away. But yeah, Idon't I don't think that can be day.
But but we're gonna put a backyardfence in chain link, just you
(03:36):
know, just the dogs can runaround and keep contained and you know,
off a leash, yes right now. I mean, you know, our
neighbors didn't really mind it that theywere off leashed, and some of the
times they'd run in their yards orafter a bundy or something. But we
got a new neighbor to our toour left, and they got h he's
(03:58):
got three dogs and he put afence up just to keep his dogs contained,
and we just kind of thought itwas a good idea just yeah,
to kind of keep them separated anyway, So cool if you'll get it.
But it was it was time good. It was time good. So that's
that's really all that's going on inmy yard. Do you know what yesterday's
(04:19):
date was? Friday? It waseight eleven, eight eleven. Does that
number mean anything to you? No, come on eight eleven, call eight
one one. Oh okay, Ithat was that was stretch. That didn't
(04:40):
come to my mind. I knewit wouldn't, but uh, yes,
but the should be the fence companytakes care of that. Yeah, but
I'm glad you brought up that broughtthat up because it was eight one one
yesterday and that's kind of now becometheir their national recognition recognition day. To
remember that it's important to dial eightone one. It's a law in most
states to die, I think itin all states now to dial eight one
to one and have your utilities markedbefore you dig any holes in your property.
(05:03):
Does that include like just plants too, that includes digging trees, holes
for trees or whatever it may be. So every job we go to our
landscape, we have to call eightone to one get the utilities marked just
before we go out and put ourtrees and shrubs in. So I'm putting
some petunias in my front yard andthat technically yeah, but no, that's
not the petunias. But any digging, like fence posts, you know,
(05:26):
put a new mailbox in, puttingyour fence in, you know, anything
like that. Most definitely planting treesand shrubs, yep. Most definitely to
make sure you don't hit the utilities. So dialate one one. It's an
absolute free service. You got togive them at least three to four days
to come out and mark that foryou. But you can email them,
you can, you can call themwhatever it may be. And I think
(05:47):
every state has their own, sogot to do it. So falls coming
up falls a great time for planting. And if you're gonna be planting trees
and shrubs or whatever and you've neverdone that before and you think you know
where the utilities are, don't justassume. And here's the tip. They
smart paint your grass. They didwell in most cases. They spray paint
the grass. And there's different colorsfor different utilities. Or sometimes they'll use
(06:10):
flags. Most of the time it'sspray paint the grass. When they spray
paint the grass, don't go aheadand mow over the spray paint. Correct
And a lot of times one timemowing still leaves a lot of it there,
so that you know it does stillshow, because sometimes they'll come out
a week or two before you're likethe landscape company is going to get there.
So if you have to mow,just you know, it'll it'll usually
(06:30):
stay long enough for them to seeit. But yeah, that's that's important.
So eight one one yesterday was theyou know, just to try to
remember they you know, got adial eight one to one or click eight
one one or whatever it may be. But have marked utilities which they will
do for your your fence. Thereyou go even though there's no utilities in
your backyard exactly so and also rememberif a landscape firm is coming out to
(06:50):
your house or anybody, if youwould if you installed your own utilities,
like you ran that electric line backto the she shed, or you ran
a little pipe back to wherever tohave some extra water, remember where you
did that, so they don't cutthat either, So keep that in mind
too. So there you go.Eight one one cool you did No,
(07:14):
we don't good. That would havebeen yeah, why didn't you do hand
whoever? Your producer sucks? Yeah, really so that's horrible. Gosh geez.
Any other guests other than uh Ritais on with us today is Yeah,
we're gonna talk about her garden andthings that she's doing right now.
I think that the sales and cherriesand bourbon really went up last week.
(07:38):
I think all across the country,everybody's trying to do her cherry bounce recipes.
I thought she was doing that doingplus locally where she lives. Yeah,
they sold out, just decided justto everybody else in America think cherry
bounce. Yeah. So you know, she's busy. It's a busy young
lady. So we'll talk with her. We got Gary Solomon of course,
and then of course of Buggy JoeLoggs cool and any in between. And
(08:00):
you at the beginning and you're stuckwith me through all three hours. Yeah,
but people will get over that.The website is Ron Wilson online dot
com and a couple of people getover there. Some updates. One is
you know there was a tip sheetor alert sheet about chiggers. Yes,
I've never really looked up what atigger looked like. Yes, those things
(08:26):
are scary looking. It is littlemite. I always thought that they kind
of looked like I thought I alwaysthought they looked like something else. But
they look like those little red oneslike something else. Well, that's what
people confuse that they think those arechiggers concrete mites, little red mice,
and they are a mite. Butthat's that the people get confused with the
(08:48):
two of those. And it's obviouslythe chiggers are much smaller than the ones
you see on the concrete. Yeah, there's the ones that gets you.
And did you hit some of thefacts out of that and the fact that
they don't burrow themselves down into yourskin and yeah, you witch and they
go her and all that kind ofstuff that doesn't that's not so a lot
of interesting. Yeah, that's becausethat was that was that one was was
really enlightening. Yeah, so learnmore about chiggers. So August is check
(09:11):
your tree month. I know we'rea couple of weeks in, so check
your tree for especially for the Asianlonghorn betough that's the big one. Yeah,
and uh in addition to Rita comingon the show today, she has
got a nice recipe for you ifyou have a couple of little extra tomatoes
that you grew up your yard thisyear. Mm hmm, she's she's got
a recipe for a spot show.Gaspacho. I'm not a guess. It's
(09:33):
okay, not one of my favorites, but it's all right. Somebody makes
it for me in service to me, I'll eat it. Yeah, but
it's a great recipe, though I'mneither here I've had it. I have
not had it, and I've nothad gi spot sho before, so I
can't really I've had that at oneof the cooking classes I have, like
not eating my tomato soup and it'sgotten cold. That's not the same thing
(09:56):
as it. I don't think thatcounts. Not the same thing. No,
sorry, that doesn't count. Actually, you have a favorite soup tomatoes?
My favorite soup? Well, gosh, I got a lot of favorite
soups. Boy, I can't evenI can't. I tell you what.
(10:16):
My My favorite soup of all timeis that Jolie that Olive Garden has.
Okay, that is awesome. Ilove that And I even have a coffeecat
recipe at home to make that,and that's probably one of my favorite soups.
(10:37):
But I kind of like, youknow, when I was a kid,
I didn't really eat soup that much, and I kind of fought it
whenever mom made. I never atea soup day. But now I've gotten
older, I'm pig bowl of soup. And then you know, yeah,
like creamy tomato soup with a girlcheese or or you know, a nice
(11:00):
bean soup on a on our coldJanuary bean soup is good with a with
a ham bone in it. Youknow, do you like chewing a hambone
while your dog's cheesy broccoli baked potatosoup? Yes, I bet that's I
(11:20):
love I love all that. That'sthat's good stuff. Cool lobster biscuit,
m home made chicken noodle. Yeah, yeah, that's good. So and
you were especially speaking of working,uh, you were working double time this
week. We got two Plants ofthe Week. Well, I had to
do it first of all last weekwhen we had a couple weeks ago.
(11:41):
They had the Russian sage, whichis in flour everywhere. Yeah. The
other one you're seeing everywhere right now, which is great and a lot of
folks are using it, are rude, Beccy, black eyed Susan And of
course the one that I really likeis the American gold Rush, and that
was a perennial of the year acouple of years ago, and that thing,
it's just proven to be an absolutewinter, no doubt about it,
and it has showing its colors rightnow. It is phenomenal what it's doing.
(12:03):
So again, we've got that featured. But you know, we had
to feature the other one, yep, because it's that time of the year,
that time of the year where youdrive around in your car and make
sure you have someone in the passengerseat, yep, and when you drive
by, you scream, hey,look there's some naked ladies exactly, and
your passenger goes, what, huhwhat, And exactly it's the naked ladies
(12:26):
are up. And I have plentyin my yard that they came up a
couple weeks ago. So yeah,as a matter of fact, that I'm
kind of late on some of thembecause they've been up for a couple of
weeks. Yeah, but I'm seeinga lot of beds just now starting to
come up, So we're we're rightthere. But naked ladies. Naked ladies
have come up putting their show andall of the gardens where they've been planted,
so in our area anyway, Sothat's always we feature that one every
(12:46):
year because it's so much fun.The thing about having the naked ladies in
the yard. Yeah, it's kindof like the end of summer. It
starts to signal that things are there. You're right, and it's like then
we're getting into the the bird monthsand where it's just where you can't go
barefoot in the yard. According toyour mother, Missus Striker, I love
(13:09):
I mean September. September is stillkind of you can still kind of.
I love the burd month when andthen starts to hit mid October, and
I love the bird months. Usuallyrand my birthday usually gets really cold.
I love the bird months. Sowell, may you're an army of one
there. No, I'm not inthis room anyway. You're the army of
one in this room anyway. Yeah, that's what I'm saying, all right,
(13:33):
Well, one cup to day.I sent for me to head on
out and go get some sausage burritos. I texted doctor Z this week because
they had a big storm going throughDC. He had all the warnings,
So I asked him if he hadthe bowser batting down. He sent me

three eight two five five, talkingabout yardening, working our way into that
fall season. You can see itnow, can't you. The light at
the end of the summer tunnel isright there, and fall is right on
the other side of that light,and head toward the light, head toward
the light. I cannot wait forthe fall season. What you don't like
(18:21):
the fall? I like the fall. Not everybody does. I know Joe
doesn't because it starts to cool down. He wants to live in Phoenix,
which one hundred and ten every day. Well, with technology, he can
still do your cup of Joe fromout there. I don't want to go
out there, oh, he goeshim. Yeah, I get it.
Yeah, I would visit, butI don't live there. I wouldn't visit.
(18:41):
Too hot, too hot. Iwould visit, but it makes me
appreciate where I live. Anyway,it's right around the corner. So I
just throw this out because you know, now the kids are getting ready to
go back to school, and thepools are going to be closing here shortly,
and you start to wind down thesummer season, and you've been doing
your thing all summer and the wholenine yards, and a lot of folks
look at that, see that lightaround the corner, and they start saying,
(19:03):
you know what, when September getshere, September October, I'm ready
to throw in the trowel. Iam done. I have done my duty
for the summer with the gardener,whatever it may be, and I am
finished. And that is not agood attitude to have as we go into
the fall season, because fall isa great time for planting. And I'm
(19:26):
telling you right now, I knowlooking around our area and several states around
US, many states where box woodhave been damaged severely from that cold blast,

(19:48):
trees. You know you went toa hot summer. Now you can appreciate
why you need more shade trees,shade that house, shade that property,
screening off with evergreens. Fall isa great time to be doing that.

(22:10):
You're in the garden with Ron Wilsonagain. That total free number would
be eight hundred eight two three eighttwo five talking about yard ning, and
you're sure about that. I ampositive that that's the number, at least
it was the last time I lookedor the last time I dialed it.
Did you change it on the stand? No, I wouldn't do that.
I wouldn't be that cruel. Youwouldn't. Yeah, we appreciate that.
(22:30):
Talking about seeing the light at theend of the tunnel. Yes, at
the end of the summer, andof course fall right around the corner.
And how important it is to getyour plans in place because of a couple
of weeks, we're going to bestarting to think about that. And I'm
as Joe and I were talking earlier. You know, you do see that
out there, you contract to havea new kitchen or bathroom or something done
on your home. And I've hadmore folks say, you know, we've
(22:52):
been waiting for this contractor or so, and so, you know, they
just keep putting us off because theyjust can't get the projects done that they
need to do. So they're allway behind. Well, you know,
the same thing kind of happens withlandscaping too. If you're looking now and
you're saying, you know, ifyou're going to do it yourself, great,
but again, you want to getyour plans in place, whether you
have somebody come out and draw alittle design for you, or if you
(23:14):
know a local independent garden center thatmay offer something like that. You know,
you take pictures in and some dimensionsand can draw or sketch something out
for you to follow, so youcan do it yourself. That's great,
but get that done now while they'rekind of slow, because right now,
obviously they're getting ready for the fallseason. Over the next couple of weeks,
they're going to see the garden centersagain start to stock back up in
(23:37):
the inventory may have been a littlebit low through the summer, but now
all of a sudden, you're goingto start to see nursery plants coming in.
You're going to see the mums andthe cabbages and the kales and all
the fall decorating plants starting to showup. So by the by time we
get to the first of September,they're all stocked and ready to go.
For you to do your fall thing. And again, fall is such a
great time for planting almost anything inevery thing, and the seasons are usually
(24:02):
it's so much easier. It lastslonger than the spring planting season. You
get things planted in the fall.And one of the biggest benefits of planting
in the fall, you know,and there's a lot of them that you
can throw out there, but oneof the biggest benefits is the fact that
more roots are developed on plants thatare planted in the fall, tree,
shrubs, evergreens, whatever it maybe. Then basically any other time the
(24:25):
rest of the year. Now theyput roots out through throughout the entire season,
but more are developed in September,October, November, and sometimes into
December as long as the soil temperaturestay warmer than any other time the rest
of the year. So as thetops are shutting down or slowing down in
evergreens cases, they're putting out thatnow they're putting out that energy into putting
out the more of a root system. So you get a jump start on
(24:48):
the spring season because you get themplanted, they've already started to put out
a few roots now, and againthey're not going to get established by the
end of the fall season. That'snot the deal. But they will start
rooting in through the fall and havea little more of a jumpstart than what
you would be doing in the springtime. And the springtime their goal is to
what put out new growth, flowerif they're a flowering plant, put all
(25:11):
that energy into that, get thatgoing, and in the meantime trying to
root as well. They don't haveany roots and they're depending on the root
ball. So it just you know, it's just one of the many reasons
why fall is such a great timefor planting. But point being is this,
if you're going to be doing thisstuff and you need some ideas,
you need suggestions, or you sayI'm not going to do it. I'd
(25:33):
rather have the professionals install it forme to design it and install it.
You need to get those landscape designersout to your house now. I guarantee
you they're not all that busy rightnow, you know, And don't wait
until the fall hits and then everybodystarts thinking about having planting done because the
same thing's going to happen, youlike with the kitchens and the bathrooms and
(25:55):
all that. Get your name onthe list now, so you're on the
list to go for planting in September, October, November. And like I
said, most landscape firms, dependingon the weather, will continue right up
until the holiday season. So wegot four months there. So again,
get the designers out, get yourplans in place. If you're going to
(26:15):
do it yourself, get some pictures, some dimensions, Get to your local
independent garden center, have somebody dosome sketching for you. You can do
your homework, look at the plantsthat you like, what you want to
plant there, and then be readyto go once we get into September,
October, November, and get youryour plants planted. And I like,
you know, you know, asfar as getting the planet in the sooner
(26:37):
you can is great because it givesme more time to get them, you
know, rooting themselves in. Anddo remember as we go through the fall
season, you're still gonna be wateringjust like you did. You know if
you had planted in the springtime orin the summer or last year, same
practices all go into too place.It's just that it's such a great time
for everybody involved and what's going onto be planting in the fall but get
(27:00):
your plans in place, get yourname on the list. If you're having
a professional install it, design itand install it. Do it now.
Don't wait. I'm telling you,are you gonna wind up getting on a
list and you're gonna get late.Next thing, you know, you're pushed
off. You're pushed off. It'sNovember. You start to get nervous,
start looking at the holiday season.Still haven't planted, you know, and
there's still plenty of time to plan. But people get a little nervous when
(27:21):
it gets that late in the season. But there's still time to plant.
But it's such a great season todo that. Get your name on the
list now, get the plans inplace, and get ready to go.
And of course the other one wouldbe if you have a warm season grasses,
this is going to be kind ofyour last shot as far as giving
that the final feeding before we getin the fall season, because you're not
going to be encouraging a lot ofnew growth as we get into the fall.
(27:41):
On the other hand, if youhave a cool season, lawn,
fescues rise, blue grass, thingslike that, don't forget September October are
you two most important once and eveninto November for everything you're going to do
for those launch the backbone to howwell they're going to perform in the future.
And so again like putting your plansin place, now's the time to
(28:04):
be doing that. Reevaluating your lawncool seasoned lawns to figure out what you
need to do to make it evenbetter. You know, you got some
areas that may have thinned out alittle bit. We'd seemed to pop up
there a little bit more than otherplaces. You know. I read an
interesting article and you were seeing thiskind of come up more and more all
the time. Why we don't domore overseating of turf on a more regular
(28:30):
basis Because they kind of compared it, and I thought it was kind of
interesting to weeds that move into areasthat then out weeds flower and seed,
and that's why you see so manyof them. So if we were seating
the lawn and doing all the culturalpractices to make it fuller, the weeds
can't compete. So why aren't wethinking more about that? Especially with the
(28:53):
turf type tall rescues. Remember eachseed that you put down produces one plant
in over time that one plan ortwo can actually die out. You know,
and then a little bit depending onall kinds of situations. So you
know, we should be looking atif you have a turf type tall escu
lawn, reseating or overseating an existinglawn, you know every what two or
(29:15):
three four years, or you know, every two or three years if needed
to keep it a little bit fuller. Because again all the cultural practices plus
doing a little additional seating helps tokeep that as thick as possible. And
that is the key, the backboneto keeping that you know, that lawn
looking good throughout the entire season.And of course we talk and also cultural
(29:36):
practices as inverted slicing, which islike when you when you use the slit
or slice set or cut grooves inthe top core. Aeration which is you
know, very very important, especiallySeptember October, you know, watering,
fertilizing obviously or two feedings in thefall, two most important feedings that you
can put out there for you weedcontrol in mid to late October is the
(29:56):
best time to do that. Soagain, put all those cultural practices together.
Watering is needed and then the overseedingand that should get that lawn back
together. But again that's another goodSeptember October fall thing that you gotta get
evaluation now. Get your plans inplace. You could even get out your
local independent garden center, get yourgrass seed, get your fertilizer, and
(30:18):
be ready to go once we getto the point where it's time to do
that. So again, you know, falls right around the corner. It's
only a few weeks away. Thelight is at the end of the tunnel.
Get your plans in place, becauseit is such a great time for
all kinds of things to be done. Don't throw in the trowel, all
right, And I'm not asking toget out there and do your spring gardening,
but there are some really really importantthings, timely things that can be
(30:41):
done in the fall, and it'sa great time for doing them. Dick
and Dayton. Dick, good morning, good morning. How are you?
I am great? How about yourself? Good? Good? Well, I
underestimate and I flipped over. Youknow what what that second street that's a
big Wills look pretty good. Theywere. You know, they had a
(31:02):
couple of mistakes, but I likedthat quarterback they got and this one guy
ran a couple for a touchdown.You know what kind of neat well they
got a couple of backups there thatnobody's really stepped up to the plate yet,
so hopefully that that will help alittle bit. But I don't know
if you heard before the pregame coverage, Joe Burrow is out on the field
kind of jogging a little bit andthrowing the football. So he had everybody
(31:23):
kind of fired up last night.Yeah, so it's showing he's that he's
right around the corner being healed andready to start playing again. You know
this is this is a coincidence thatI was saying that my family knew me
playing the bandolin. Yes, butI have we have had tell Danny do
(31:44):
we have had more concerts on theyuku leley and I'm telling you this play
the places we play at the nursinghomes or Senior said, there's so many
people there and I usually sit inthe back row, and uh, Sue
always says, well, Dick,he kind of cheated on us, but
(32:06):
he's still he's still a musician onthe bandolin. But I've got that ukulele
down now, Ron Good, I'mproud of you. Now. You know
what you have to do is kindof dedicate your playing of the ukulele to
the poor folks in Maui with thosefires out there. Isn't that terrible?
Oh, it's horrible. I justDanny and I were talking. I just
(32:28):
can't believe that that happened, butit did. But you know, now,
when you're playing that ukulele, Ialways think of the folks in Hawaii
the ukule and you'll have to dedicatewhat you play to the folks in Maui.
Yeah, you know, I go, uh, you know, I
get out early in the morning.But when it's hot that you know,
it's bad from where is it inthe California, the California the fires I

(35:36):
in the garden with Ron Wilson again. That toll free number would be eight
hundred eight two three eight two fivefive. Talking about yarding a website run
Wilson online dot com, got atext from the arbor doc Ron rothis a
little while ago said that we usuallyin our Facebook page in the garden with
Ron Wilson and us to do alittle chatting on Saturday morning. Joy has
to set up a special little thingthere to get so that everybody can chat
with each other. And I guessthat didn't post this morning, so they
(35:59):
are on the other one. Wehave another group that somebody set up a
long long time ago. It's justcalled in the Garden and it's the in
the Garden group page and you cango to that one, and that's where
they are chatting this morning. SoRon said, if you can't find them
in the Garden with Ron Wilson,go to in the Garden that's our group
page. A rare time where Joeforgot something I guess, or maybe let's
(36:20):
just blame it on the computer.It just didn't post. Maybe he really
want to those sausage burritos this morning, so he just left forgotten and forgot.
I don't know. But that's whereyou want to go if you would
like to chat with other gardeners.And Ron rothis as well. Tulu we
go. Debbie, good morning,Good morning. I wanted to ask you
about grass. I know someone somehave said just moved, but what chemical
(36:49):
do you use to control boma grass? Do you have existing lawn as well?
Is it growing in that or isit all by itself? Yes?
Yes, Bio Advanced which you tobe bear, has a special one that's
called Bermuda Bermuda grass control, andit is used in turf where you get
(37:09):
you know, try to spread it. And it takes multiple applications where it
will take out the bermuda grass anda few others as well, but not
your selected grass. So go toeither a local independent garden center or Audies
or somewhere and or I think evensome of them. Some of the box
(37:29):
stores may have it too, butit actually is labeled as a Bermuda grass
for lawns control, and that doesa fairly decent job. The problem I
had with that is sometimes you're notsure if you got it all or not.
And if you didn't, and youknow this, you didn't get it
all out of there, it'll comeright back up again. So I look
(37:50):
at that sometimes and say, look, here's the way I look at it.
I try to mark off the areawhere you know it is for sure,
and go out about another two orthree feet and I look to just
take everything out. So whether you'vegot grass there or muta grass, whatever
else happens to be in that area, you use a non selective vegetation killer
like kills all round up something likethat, where it takes everything out and
(38:15):
you do it and you give itabout ten days or two weeks, and
you go back and you do itagain if anything else is sprouting up,
and that way you pretty much knowyou've killed everything out. Then you come
back and either you know, reseedin that area, and which September is
a great time for doing that,receding starter fertilizer and get that new lawn
(38:36):
established nice and thick. I've evenhad in some cases folks that had it
really bad, you know, ina smaller area, go in with and
actually cut once they kill everything out, cut that up like a like a
sod, roll that up, throwit away, take it away, come
back in and either resawd or pullittle soil down and reseed. And that
(38:57):
way you got rid of all therhizomes, You got rid of anything that
was on the top, and thatway you're pretty much assured you got rid
of all of it. And thenyou start all over again. But I
think the thing to remember, dewi is if you don't get it all
and don't get that thicking back upagain, all of a sudden, it's
right back filling back in those bareareas, and you know it's it's a
it's a tough one, it reallyis. But those are the two options
(39:19):
I see for you to work with, and right now is the time to
be getting on that. Okay,all right, thank you so much.
All right, Debbie, good talkingto you. Appreciate the call. And
again that's it's a tough one.But when you get into that nimble will
sometimes or whatever, you know,you got to make sure you get everything
out of there. So if you'vegot it in an area where the lawnch
thinned a little bit and that's whereit usually moves in and takes over,
(39:40):
you know, you mark that areaoff, but then you go out into
the existing grass a little bit moreso to make sure that you get all
of it. And if you don'tget that all out of there, especially
the bermuda grass, it those rhizomes, they'll just come right back up,
and then you've kind of wasted yourtime, uh, taking care of it.
Now, the thing of it isit in the fall obviously that goes,
(40:01):
you know, shuts down. It'snot as likely to come back up
this fall. So hopefully you canget the lawn growing thicker, looking better
by the spring for when that startsto come back on again as the temperature
start to warm up. But againit's still in there. And you know
you could look at it that way, get the new grass up and going,
(40:21):
and then come back later in theseason with that bermuda grass killer that
doesn't hurt your lawn after that newlawn has been hardened off a little bit
more so that that would be anoption too, But sometimes you're just better
off going in and just getting ridof everything that's there, cleaning it all
out, and again the sad removal. You know, you can take a
(40:43):
square spade, nice sharp square spade. There are hand sowd cutters, or
you can rent sod cutters, andyou can come in and you slice that.
You roll it up and you takeoff that top inch and a half
or so layer. You roll itup, just like cutting sod. You've
now removed all those isomes, anyseeds that may be there. You roll
it up, you get rid ofit. You know, you know,
(41:05):
you can do whatever you want withit, but get rid of it,
and then come back and either sawed, which would be perfect to place the
sowd right back in into that areaso it's instant and it fills up the
gap that you picked up when youpull the sad up or add a little
top soil there, you have anice prep bed for your seeds. Then
come back seed over top starter fertilizeras the seed starts to germinate, and
(41:25):
fill it back in again. Butyou know, just work really hard to
make sure you get all that outof there, or you could be wasting
your time, you know, go, you know, not getting it all
out, and it's gonna pop rightback up again for you. And again,
one of the great things that wewant to think about right now with
cool seasoned lawns is that you're atthat point. So you're looking right now
to do whatever needs to be donefor renovation. If you need to kill
(41:47):
everything out. And remember if youuse it, you know you maybe you
look at your lawn, backyard,front yard, whatever may be, and
you say, you know what,it's such a duke's mix of all kinds
of stuff and weeds. And I'vesowed ten different types of grass seat out
there. I have no idea what'seven growing here. I just want to
get rid of it and start allover. Now's the time to do that.
To use a non selective vegetation killerand kill everything out, kills all
(42:08):
round up, whatever it may be, Kill everything out. You want to
give it at least ten days ortwo weeks to make sure it doesn't green.
Back up, come back in withthe second application of needed. Where
does that put you versus September?When's the best time for seeding in our
area? Middle of August through theend of September. That's the best window.
