Speaker 1 (00:35):
That toll free number here in the garden is eight
hundred eight two three eight two five five. Good morning.
I am Ron Wilson, your personal yard boy, talking about
yarding Danny Night during the break talking about the ending
of the daylight saving time. And you know they have
the benefits and the pluses and minuses and all the
things that can happen. You know what, Quit chain here's
my theory, and dance with me on this one.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
I am.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
It's very rare that dance. Ever.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
I am question mark.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
He ever agrees with me on anything, but quit changing it.
Just leave it at one or the other. And if
you're gonna leave it at one, leave it at the
normal time. As far as I'm concerned. What we're going
to tonight, that's my favorite. Just take it to that.
Dan even said the only time I'm grumpy is when
we have to spring forward in the springtime, that particular Sunday,
(01:22):
I'm grumpy as can be for a week or so. Yeah,
and Gary takes the brunt of it and then yeah,
here Sunday morning. That's right because he has come in
on Sunday morning and do a show. So I say,
when daylight Saving time is done, which is Sunday morning
at two o'clock. Just leave it alone and let's stay
with that regular time. That's me, that's my opinion. I
(01:42):
like it, and I'm sticking to it. Always have always
said that. You know that, and it'll never change until
they finally just drop it and it'll probably go to
daylight saving time forever and not the what I like.
But that's the way it goes. But anyway, don't forget
tonight is when you turn the clocks back, you get
the fall get an extra hour tomorrow, so you get
the fall back, and things will change a little bit.
(02:04):
It's going to get darker a little bit earlier in
the evening, no doubt about it. But you know what,
the sun comes up a little earlier in the morning.
So there you go, get up in the morning and
enjoy the extra hour in the morning. It's pretty simple.
And you said, no, it's not because I don't like
getting up early. Well I do. Well, I do too
for my job, and just in general I do. I
(02:26):
always been that way. I'm not a late sleeper. I
have to get up early. I love I love watching
the sun come up if it's already up when I
wake up, and it's out. I feel like I've wasted
the day. And then maybe I got that from my parents.
I don't know my grandparents too, but that's the way
I am anyway. But don't forget tonight you turn o'clock's
back at two am. Now, who's going to get up
at two am and do that? Well, not me, So
(02:47):
you're gonna do it before you go to bed. But
don't forget.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
A lot of us have our cell phones now and
it just does it itself.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Does it for you? Some things do it for you,
some things don't. Just double check to make sure for
those things that do not turn it back. Yes, sir,
what happened. But you know, everything's going on in the yard,
and garden continues right on whether it's daylight saving time
or your normal time. So everything is going to keep
right on going. And we are in the fall season.
We're right in the middle of the fall season, and
(03:14):
you still have plenty of time to plant. Maybe a
little dry out there, but you're going to have to water.
But otherwise, you know, we still got plenty of time
to get those trees planted, get some evergreens in the ground,
get that screens established. You know, in in the ground
mulched in ready to go watered in, so the next
spring you can sit back and watch it start to
grow and enjoy those without having to do it in
(03:35):
the springtime. There's usually better planting time, and it's more
extended time in the fall than there is in the spring.
You never know what spring is going to bring. You know,
it's falls a lot more, I think, more consistent when
it comes to the weather. Spring you got, you know,
it's cold, it's wet, snow and it's whatever's going to do.
It's sunny, it's dry, back to rain. You never know.
Next thing you know, you're in a June and it's
(03:56):
all over and you didn't get everything planted. So you know,
take advantage of the fall season. More roocher developed this
time of the year than any other time the rest
of the year. And like I said, the watering, well
you would have had to do that. You do that
anyway with newly planted trees and shrubs, and make sure
you're watering the existing ones as well if you are
experiencing the dry weather that we are experiencing here as well.
(04:19):
Looking at the lawns right now, cool season lawns, a
lot of lawns still looking pretty good. That the last
big good rainfall we had kind of pulled a lot
of lawns out. I see a lot of lawns that
have a lot of thin areas, bear areas in them. Folks,
you know, putting off putting down new seed because of
the way the weather's been. If that's you, that's quite
(04:40):
all right. It's not an issue. But what I would do,
what I would suggest if you've still got halfway decent lawn,
you've got some bear areas you're gonna have to take
care of if you didn't feed the lawn at all
this fall, I'd at least get one feeding down, and
you could do that anytime right now. Furlong's lawn food
plus iron, something of that sort of lawn food. Go
(05:03):
ahead and put that down now, and do that as
your last You know, you could do it just one time.
We just do it one time. Do that as your
last feeding if you'd like, and at least do that
for the existing law and it's there, all right. And
then if you think you need to do some seating
because you've got a few bear areas here and there,
what I'd like for you to do is over the
next week or two, get out there with a leaf
(05:25):
rake and rake those areas out so if you clean
out any of the dead grass or dead debris that's
laying there, so that when we get into either December,
late December, or I like to wait until mid to
late February, you can do your dormant seating. At that time,
you can go into those areas and do the dormant
seating in those bare areas. But you raked all the
(05:45):
debris out and you got it ready to go, so
you know that's something you could do right now and
then have the seed on hand. So get out to
your local independent garden center and get the seed that
you need for dormant seating. And so what dormant seating
does that is it works it into the soil. The
seed's in place, it's ready to go. As soon as
(06:05):
the weather breaks, soil and air temperatures become just right
in the springtime, that seed's ready to bust, germination, start
to grow, root in and do the best that it
can before we get into the summer season, which doesn't
take very long in the spring. So you know that's
fall seating, the best time for cool season grasses dormant
(06:27):
seeding the second best time, spring seating the third, and
summer seating the worst. And that's the way it works.
So and again, if you put down seed during the
winter time, don't forget you can't put down a regular
pre emergent nervoside on those areas because it will stop
the grass seed from coming up. But get out and
get your grass seed in hand now so that you
(06:48):
have it available for you when you're ready to go
out and do your dormant seeding, and make sure it's
the grass seed or a grass seed mix or blend
that is compatible or matches what you're already growing in
your laun And if you don't know what it is,
maybe take a ten or twelve inch square of the
green lawn to the local garden center lest somebody to
try to identify what they see in there. It's kind
(07:09):
of hard to do that, but maybe you can pick
out which basically what you have in there, and then
go from there. And then when you do seating, always
save the label from the seed bag and put it somewhere,
stapled up in the garage or somewhere, so if you
ever have to come back and do some reseeding, you
know what you use the last time you seeded. All right,
(07:30):
keep that label so you know what you used. But again,
you've still got time to take care of that. In
some areas, if the lawn still looks pretty active, you
can still core air raid. I don't see any problem
with doing that at this stage, other than in fact,
you probably have to water to get that to work properly.
If you have broad leaf weeds growing in a lawn
that looks at the lawn looks okay, but you've got
some weeds here and there. Now is a good time,
(07:52):
still a good time to spot treat those broad leaf
weeds with a broad leaf weed killer. Still got time
to do that the way the weather's been holding in
there for us late this time of the year. So
be sure and do that. And of course keep mowing.
As long as it's growing, you keep mowing. And once
it stops mowing, you're growing, and the leaves may be
still falling on your lawn. Keep mowing in a high
(08:15):
raise up more up, and just keep mowing, just to
keep grinding those leaves up and putting it back into
your mature turf. Very very important to Tennessee. We go Karen,
good morning.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Hi, good morning. I'm up at the cracking well way
before dawn. As you can see, it's well. I got
up at five point thirty here, good for you, and
I don't watch the time change. But that's neither here
or there. Okay, my question. I have eight large ferns
that I've been bringing in every year. They hang and
(08:47):
they make such a mess in the house. They're too
full to dig them out and transplant. Can I just
cut all the throngs back and hopefully they'll grow nice
and big next year?
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Uh, and give that a try. What's going to happen
over the winters. You'll probably see them start to leaf
back out again. What I try to do is is
to you know, keep as much of the foliage there
as I can, and you can you know where it's
really hanging over the side of the pot. A lot
of times I'll just cut all those off and leave
what's sticking up above the pot there, so you kind
(09:21):
of remove half of the foliage, but leave some on
there and then let them, you know, lamp them through
the winter time and they are gonna shed, There's no
doubt about it. They just do that. And then in
the springtime, I just take them off. You take right
off the top of the pot, you know, right about it,
give them about a half an inch sticking up out
of the pot, cut them off and let them just
regrow totally in the springtime, and it doesn't take them
(09:43):
very long to fill back out again. So you know,
if you can personally, if you're going to do that,
I would take about half of that foliage out, but
leave half of it there just to get you through
the wintertime, and then cut it all off in the springtime,
start it all over again.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
What is the benefit fit to leave it there? If
you're going to cut it off in the spring.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Well, you're still you're still producing energy to feedback to
that root system over the wintertime. What a little it
may be. They're still staying alive. I mean, even though
they shed leaves over the wintertime, there's still some green
left on them typically right by the time you get
the spring. Oh yeah, So what they're doing is they're
still feeding the roots down below. They're still keeping that
(10:23):
massive roots down there alive. Whereas if you cut everything
off and now it goes dormant, and so you take
a bigger risk of it not coming back in the springtime.
By cutting all that off now and again, it'll probably
start to regrow anyway. And you know what you might
want to do, Karen, experiment with one. Take one and
do that and see what happens. Take the other ones
and just take everything off that's hanging off the side
(10:45):
and leave what's coming up straight up out of the pot.
Leave that there. Take one or two of them and
cut it off at the at the top of the
pot and compare and see what happens with both of them.
And if you do that, now you've got to call
me back and let me know how it turned out
for you.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Okay, all right, well at least be as much of
a mess.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Exactly exactly, But give that to give that a try.
And that's a bad thing about most of them, like
the Boston ferns, and that is that they just you know,
they need that light. It's dry in the house. They
just shed and it's horrible. And a lot of folks
by the time they get to the interwere they just
throw them away. You see a lot of them in
the trash and out in the garbage. They throw them out,
when when they could have just cut them off and
(11:26):
started them all over again. But try, try both ways
and see what happens for you.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Okay, I'm a cheap skate, you know, expensive those ferns are.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
I'm with you. Uh, you're a cheap You're not a
cheap skate. I get it.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
You know.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
If you can, if you can get them over winter,
good for you. But like I said, you know, you
cut them back and they can flush right back up again.
A lot of folks don't realize that.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Right, We'll try it.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Thanks, appreciate it, and keep me posted. I always want
to hear back from folks and we try something like that,
a little bit of an experiment, you know, and to
see what happens. See if you can get them too
limp through without any foliage on there whatsoever. There you go,
all right, quick break, we come back. Phone lines. You're

butter recipe for you at Ron Wilson online dot com.
Be sure and check it out. Uh, and that the
recipes she had last week. A lot of people asking

(16:16):
Uh yeah, it turned out pretty good. A couple people
said that we tried that it was darn good. Well,
of course, reader's recipes are always outstanding and they're easy,
so be sure and check it out again at Ron
Wilson online dot com. And one last thing. Our plant
of the week this week is Amarillis bulbs. All right, now,
you say, wait a second, Amarillis bulbs. Doesn't that have
to do with Christmas? Kind of? Yeah. We use them
(16:40):
a lot for Christmas for a little bit of color,
along with our pond set is and Christmas cactus and
all of those and paper whites. But if you want
to have you know, we talk, we buy all of
the kits and of course you'll I just harp on
it the last of the year, talking about scarf up
all the paper, the paper well, paper whites too. Amarillis
(17:01):
kiss because they're great Christmas presents. Oh my gosh, it's
the double thank you. They thank you when you get it,
they thank you about six or eight weeks later when
it's in flower. Whenever they pot it up and it
starts to flower. You get another caller a text and
says man that Amarillis was absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for
giving me the kid. They're so easy to do, it's crazy,
(17:21):
but it's one of those things that you also want
to scarf up a few because they usually go on sale,
like you know, between Christmas and New Year's if there's
any leftover, U and pot those up about every two
or three weeks, so as you've got one in flower
all the time through the winter season. Jerry Rose, our
giant pumpkin grower. They heard me talking about these last year.
(17:43):
Bought a whole bunch of them, and he gave him
away for Christmas. He sent me pictures Christmas presents, potted
up his own, got all kinds of great flowers, was
loving it, and of course he grew him over the summer,
and then he's got up sitting dormant right now. Got
to leave the dormant about six or eight weeks and
then he's gonna bring him back out can get him
to flower again. So you know, it was fun and
he enjoyed it, and he said, you're right, you know,
(18:04):
the great color. But I have it as our planet
of the Week this week because you will find Amarillis
Bulbs now available, both the bulbs and the kits in
your local garden centers or wherever they happen to sell
holiday plants. They're out there now, and if they aren't,
they'll be there very soon. And the reason I brought
it up now is the fact that if you want
(18:25):
them in flower for the holiday season, for Christmas and
New Year's remember what I just said, it takes about
six weeks or more to get them in the flower,
from the time you pot them up and they start
to you know, sit there for a couple three days
and all sudden start to see them kind of green up.
And then there you see start at a little bit
of the folly start to pop a little bit. Then
(18:46):
you see the flower buds start to come up. Well,
it takes about six weeks or so before they start
to open it. Once they do, and it depending on
how many stock flower stalks you have, and the number
of flower stalks you get depends on the size of
the bulb. They could last three four five weeks easily
giving you some good color. So by getting them started now,
(19:08):
that puts them starting to flower about mid December ish,
just in time for all of your little get togethers
for the holiday season. For Christmas and through the holiday season.
As well, and so then you start potting them up
about every two or three weeks so that you've got
some in flour all winter long. But that's why we
made it our plan of the week this week, so
(19:29):
that if you needed to get them started now over
the next week or so for the holiday season color.
That's why you want to get out and get them
right now and when you if you go look at
what we've got on there as far as information, it
also has the steps to get them to reflour. So
if you're interested in trying to get your ambirollis bulbs
(19:50):
to you know, reflour again next year is pretty easy process.
I've never been one hundred percent getting into flower the
following year. Times you get them, you know, depending on
what the bulbs you have, but sometimes you get them
all over reflowers. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. But
it's pretty fun and it can it's a great house
plant and you take them outside the summer, bring them
(20:13):
back in and it's fun to see if you can
get it to do it. Heavy feeders, I stress that,
so you make sure you feed them on a regular basis.
But again all that information is available for you on
our website. It is our plan of the week Amarillis Bulbs.
You'll find it at Ron Wilson online dot com. Have
you seen any crab apples or lilacs or other plants
and flower right now around your house? I'll tell you

Speaker 1 (22:13):
Com Talking Yard to at eight hundred eight two three
(22:54):
eight two five five. You know, I had several emails.
I get these every year and it's usually only a
few here and there, but I've probably got more questions
about this over the last two or three weeks I
think I ever have. And folks are looking around the
landscape and you're sitting there, you're driving the car, maybe
you're walking the sidewalk or whatever, or maybe you're in
your own yard and you look up and a spring
(23:17):
flowering tree or shrub right now is flowering. And we're
not talking full flower, but you've got enough flowers on
it that you notice that it's flowering. As a matter
of fact, two of them that I saved, I want
to thank Kathy van Arsdale from Louisville had sent me
pictures of her lilac, and then Alan Mary Hockley up
(23:40):
in the Bell Fountain, Ohio. And thanks Gary for sending
that along as well, both of them sending pictures of
their lilacs in flower. As a matter of fact, Kathy
van Arsdale and Louisville sent me a picture. She said,
this is really an unusual sight. Alan and Mary's is
(24:01):
a white one that was in flower. Kathy's is a
purple lilac. But what's interesting is behind it is there
maple tree in fall color. And she said, isn't that
quite a contrast? Look and see my maple tree in
fall color and my lilac and flower. And there's quite
a few flowers that are open on this lilac. And
(24:22):
it's like, you know, what is going on here? And
this does happen every year, some years worse than others,
and I say worse more than others. And there hasn't
been a whole lot of research done on this as
far as exactly what causes it. But it's called remontant
or remontancy, and remontancy is the ability of a plant,
(24:44):
the flowering plant that usually flowers in the springtime to
flower again a second time. And you know, there are
reblooming lilacs, and there are other reblooming shrubs that are
out there that have been bred to flower a second time.
As a matter of factor, reblooming lilacs sometimes it's a
little misunderstanding. They flower in the springtime and then they
kind of hold off, put out all that new growth,
(25:07):
and then open a few up in the fall. It's
not a show like in the spring, but a few
in the fall. But regular lilacs will do the same thing,
but it's called remontant or remontancy. And again they're not
really sure exactly what causes this or what triggers it,
but most of the consensus is that it's usually a
(25:27):
stress related reaction by the plant, or you know to
a change in the environment like extremely hot We had
that all fall, extremely dry in a drought situation, had
that all fall, sudden drop in temperatures had that happen,
was really hot, and also it got cool for three
or four nights in several days. That's some frosts there
(25:49):
and all sun drops, the tips of frost, et cetera,
they said, can trigger some of these plants to do that,
and otherwise they're not, you know, not one hundred percent
sure why they do it, but we do see it
in the landscapes every fall, a little bit here and there.
But this fall seems to have been whatever stress they
(26:10):
were going through, whatever it may be, whether it's the heat,
the cold, the drought, whatever, seem to have really triggered
a lot more flowers to open up. And we'll see
it mostly in lilacs, for sure, see that all the time.
I'll see for scythia that will open up and do that.
I've seen azaleas and rhodos typically rhododendrons uh pjam was
always it would always open up in the fall. You
(26:33):
get three or four nice of those buds, and you
know that once they're open, h that's gone for next spring,
so you lose those. So you know, I always tell
folks take a picture and enjoy it because that won't
be there in the springtime. Fortunately, it's not all the
flower buds that open up, but you know, in some
cases you can see a pretty good show. We've got
several crab apples in our area right now that are
(26:55):
showing enough color that you notice it. And I saw
two of the ornamental pairs, not the invasive pairs, but
the that were planted in a landscape that had about
a three inch so trunk diameter, so they've been there
for a little while that were white enough that I
could see the outline of both trees, and I caught
it outside of my eyes. I was driving by, so
(27:17):
you know, you do see it mostly with crab apples, lilacs.
Like I said, rodos occasional will do that as well.
But it's called roumontant or emontancy, and you know, nothing
you can do about it. It's all, from what we
can tell, environmentally related, some type of a stress quick
factor put on the plant and then they just happened
to react that way and open back up. Drick didn't
(27:39):
have thinking the spring or whatever. I don't know, but
that's what it is. There is a term for it,
and uh, like I say, just enjoy it because those
flower buds that have been spent for this fall won't
be there for next spring. But again, fortunately it's not
excessive enough that you you know, lose all of the
flowers on the plant. I swear there's two pairs I
saw yesterday. That's probably the most I've ever seen a
(28:01):
flowering tree out in color in the mid to late fall.
Due to this, the double flowering, I mean, it really
stood out kind of interesting. But the crab apples a
lot right now. So thank you for sending the pictures.
That had quite a few people that ask about that
thought we might want to bring it up in case
you take a look around your landscapes. You might be
(28:21):
seeing that as well. All right, We're gonna go to Kentucky.
Terry's got a tip for us this morning. Terry, good morning, Hi, Ron.
Speaker 6 (28:29):
Spent a long time since I talked to you.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Good to hear from you.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
A few weeks ago, I don't know if you remember,
there was a guy that called in and he had
problem with one false thread cypress kept dying on him.
He had a whole row of him, and there was
one that just kept dying, kept replanting. REPLI do you
remember that, I do, okay. I had the same situation
(28:54):
with oak tree. I have a row of red oaks
and one just wouldn't do well and they finally died.
I replanted it did everything I was supposed to do,
and it kept dying. I figured out we had a
gas line underneath that close to that root ball root system,
(29:14):
and the gas line had leaked. Would that cause that
tree to die?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Ooh, I don't know that I could answer that. I
don't know.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
I mean it was the leak was probably six to
eight feet away from the tree itself. But you know,
the rootball goes out right, you know. I now that
the gas leaks fixed, I haven't had time to, you know,
get rid of the old soil. I wonder if that
could have contaminated that soil enough to kill that tree.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
I don't think it would. Again, you can have it tested,
you know, there's a lot of labs that can test it,
and you can tell them what you're testing for and
they can take a look to see. But I would
think that a gas it's just like umigating soils to
sterilize them or whatever. Eventually that does wear off.
Speaker 6 (30:05):
Yeah, but it would be it would be a constant leak.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Yeah, I'm just saying for planting a new tree.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
Yeah, yeah, I know, But I wonder if that would
be causing your caller a couple of weeks ago, if
he looked into that's.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
A good question. And again, you know, six or eight
feet away from where you're planting. I mean, it still
could move through the soil that much. I don't know.
I'm gonna I'm writing myself a note here to find out. Yeah,
I'll do some research to find out if that possibly
could could have been the issue.
Speaker 6 (30:35):
Yeah, it would be about six to eight feet away
from the tree trunk, but you know the root ball
goes out another two feet, right, so it's closer closer
to four feet or three and a half feet. I
wonder if that could be you know, contaminating that soil
enough to kill that he had a false spread cyprus.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Well, you know, we're always trying, always trying to be
a detective, trying to figure out what all the other
factors that could be causing a problem that very well
could be. And Terry, I'll tell you what I wrote
myself a note. I'm gonna find out if that has
any effect on plants or not.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
Okay, great, That's all I got for you, right.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
All right, Terry, appreciate the call. Good hearing from you.
I don't if you happen to know, I don't know
what the gas leak would do uh, to the root system.
I don't know. I can't answer that question. Never been
I've never asked that and never looked into it. But
we'll certainly do that because I love looking into, you know,
learning more and looking into things like this. Trying to
figure out that's always an issue, you know, trying to
(31:31):
figure out like that doing your detective work, what in
the world could be possibly happening in this one spot
that I can't get another plant to grow that a
plant did grow there at one time. Something changed, something's
in the soil. What happened And that's always a tough
one to try to figure that one out. But again,
I'll look into that gas leak and if you're familiar
with it, if you know for sure, we'd love to

(34:24):
good morning, Good morning, Ron. How are you today, Chris?
I'm great in yourself, excellent, Thank you good.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
I was just listening to your last caller, and I
wanted to let you know that I had a little
gas leak in our front yard, you know, near the
sidewalk for probably the better part of ten years before
they actually got to.
Speaker 7 (34:50):
The bottom of it and fixed it. And I never
ever could get grass to grow, and it was probably
about an eight foot di I'm gonna circle in the
front that I was just no matter what I did,
I could not get grass to grow.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
And then after they fixed it perfectly fine, there you go.
I think you may have just answered our question.
Speaker 8 (35:19):
Well, it's not the same as a tree, but it's something,
you know, So you've answered a million of my questions.
So I figured that was the least I could do
was to call in and let you know.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
I appreciate that. And you know what the thing of
it is, lawns can be very forgiving. I mean they
could tolerate a whole bunch of different conditions out there,
So you know, to fork to wipe out the grass
totally in that area, and obviously having it fixed and
then coming back in the grass, coming right back obviously
tells the tale right there. And I really do appreciate it. Chris,
(35:53):
You'll be well, all right, take care. Good hearing from you.
Robin in South Carolina, Good morning, Good mine.
Speaker 6 (35:59):
How are you taking my call?
Speaker 1 (36:01):
I'm great and you're welcome.
Speaker 9 (36:05):
My husband brought home several limbs from elderberry bushes.
Speaker 4 (36:11):
Yes, and I kind of put them in.
Speaker 9 (36:13):
Water, and I've got about fifty rooted now. I was
wondering can I plant them?
Speaker 4 (36:19):
Now?
Speaker 9 (36:20):
I live, I live south of Columbia, South Carolina. It's
are weathers miles and if I can't plan them, how
far apart should I plant them?
Speaker 1 (36:30):
And this was elderberry?
Speaker 3 (36:32):
Yes, sir, all right?
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Can you plant them in the fall? You can? The
only thing I'm thinking is there root system? Pretty well?
I mean what kind of root system do you have
on them?
Speaker 6 (36:44):
Now?
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Pretty I mean are they still in the water? Are
they still in are they in soil?
Speaker 9 (36:49):
I have a few in soil, and then I've still
got several with water, and I transplant them into soil
and I keep it pretty moist at first because of
the water.
Speaker 6 (37:00):
Sure, but I mean they're really crazy.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
They've got the yep, well, that's that's excellent. I The
thing I was asking is that if they've got a
pretty good at root system, the kicker is when you
put them in that container, and I'm assuming you're using
potting soil something like that, you're still able to Yeah,
there you go, and you're able to control the moisture levels.
(37:27):
At that point when you put them in the ground
becomes a little bit more difficult trying to control that.
So my question would be, do we go ahead and
pot them all up in a one or two gallon
pot and let them continue to root there through the
fall this winter? Of course, you don't have a really
tough winter, but this winter, let's just overwinter. Then once
(37:47):
they go dorm it like in an unheated garage or
an unheated shed water about once a month or so,
bring them back out in the springtime. Now they've developed
a little bit better root system, a little bit more
hardened off, and then I'd say, let's go for getting
them in the ground at that time. I'm just trying
to acclimate them so that you're as successful as you
can be from the from that rooting into the water
(38:09):
to actually putting them into the ground. You can plant
in the fall, and you've still got plenty of time
to do that obviously, but I'm just concerned about getting
them hardened off and having that root system established enough
and tough enough that they can handle going right into
the soil. So I would I would personally pot them
all up, let them root in there, get a nice
(38:30):
little root system going before I would put them in
the ground, which would be, like I said, as soon
as we get the weather breaks for you in the springtime,
pull them out there. I think you'd be surprised how
many roots they will develop it over the wintertime in there,
and then get them planted at that point and go
from there as far as how far apart. You know,
elderberries can get pretty good size, and you know you're
(38:51):
talking a plant that you know easily can get six
eight feet high and wide. So in a case like that,
you know you'd be planning those on. You know, figure
if they got eight feet wide, you would be planning
them on eight foot centers four feet four feet, and
they would be touching at that point. Now you could
go closer if you wanted to and just you know,
(39:12):
create a hedge out of them. But even on six
to eight foot centers, eventually they will touch each other.
Speaker 7 (39:18):
Okay, well, I've got twenty acres so there.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
Yeah, oh yo, yeah, twenty acres. Absolutely. I'll tell you what.
I love elderberry jam. That stuff is absolutely outstanding.
Speaker 10 (39:33):
I make an elderberry syrup allergies. Yes, that's mainly what
I'm going forward.
Speaker 9 (39:44):
But I didn't know you could make elderberry jam.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Oh yeah, my mom used to make elderberry jam and
it is absolutely outstanding. Of course, you got to fight
the birds for him. You gotta get there and get
to get them before the birds do. But man, if
you do, yes, yep, that's what you're gonna have to
do to protect them. Protect You're right, But yeah, that's
that that works well. But yeah, do the syrup. But
(40:08):
as it gets a couple of recipes. If you can't
find one, let me know. I'll send you my mom's
recipe and we'll you know, get you doing the jams
as well.
Speaker 9 (40:17):
Oh wow, you wouldn't happen to have one of her
recipes in her own handwriting with you.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
I don't know if she does or not. I'll find out, though.
Speaker 9 (40:27):
I made my h my children, grandchildren books in my
mother's grandmother's and some of their auntsoms.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
That have passed on.
Speaker 9 (40:36):
I made this for Christmas last year or so.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
What a great idea. Yeah, you know what. I never
even thought of doing that, because you know, we usually
type it all up and make it look real professional.
Why not do it in their own hand. What a
great idea.
Speaker 9 (40:52):
Yeah, and you put it, you know, you just printed
on some pretty paper, laminade them so.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
They don't get messed up.
Speaker 8 (40:58):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (40:59):
I love.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
Oh absolutely well, Robin. Good luck with everything. If I
if you need the recipe, email me and I'll see
if I can. If she's got.
Speaker 6 (41:08):
One for you, I sure will and thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
My pleasure. Be safe driving out there, and the good
luck with those elderberries.
Speaker 6 (41:17):
I do.
Speaker 1 (41:18):
Elderberry jam absolutely my favorite. I've always said my mom
makes the best. Rita Hikenfeld, who's always on our show,
are herbalist, she makes it as well, and I think
she makes the elderberry syrup as well, if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 4 (41:31):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
And I never forget, I forget what I was gonna.
I was looking into the elderberries because it's expensive elderberry
syrup for allergies, for sinuses and all. It's not cheap. Uh.
And you know you can make your own and uh
and of course, uh Rita, I think she actually she
may have given us a recipe on that as well,
but I don't remember. But anyway, fairly easy to grow.
Speaker 10 (41:52):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (41:52):
You just got to fight the birds for him when
they come into flower. But man, is that good? And
and again they have to be cooked. But love that elderberry.
All right, to Mason, we go, Chad, good morning.
Speaker 11 (42:05):
And I got a question about a street tree situation.
So I've got two pinoaks I just pulled out. They
were doing very terrible and under one of the trees,
I've got maybe twelve inches down. I've got a four
inch PVC pipe right under that tree. So I'm guessing
(42:29):
I cannot replace the tree like I can't put another
tree there. Well, I guess that's the question.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
You don't want to. I mean, the thing of it is,
what's the PVC pipe for?
Speaker 11 (42:44):
Well, that's a good question. We have no idea. We
live on a hill. We're very far back from this position.
I don't have any drainage from the house that I'm
aware because I don't have a since I'm on a hill.
Speaker 1 (43:03):
Uh, well, you know what I plan. I try to
find out obviously what the PVC pipes if it doesn't
leak or whatever. You know. The thing of it is,
trees don't know that that water is there.
Speaker 6 (43:13):
Now.
Speaker 1 (43:13):
If it starts to sweat or leak or cracked, then
of course they would they the roofs would go toward it.
But otherwise they never know that that's there, just like
a stick or a rock or something that's in the soil.
It's not the best thing in the world to do,
but you can get around that. But I try to
find out what that is before I would before i'd
be planning sending back in that area again. Most definitely,
(43:35):
That's why I doubt that that was the issue. Hey,
we got to go, do me a favorite email. I mean,
I'll get back to you. We'll converse with the email
as well. You're in the garden with Ron Wilson.
Speaker 3 (44:00):
Green Thumb or not.
Speaker 5 (44:01):
Ron can help at one eight hundred eighty two three
talk This is in the garden with Ron Wilson.
That toll free number here in the garden is eight
hundred eight two three eight two five five. Good morning.
I am Ron Wilson, your personal yard boy, talking about
yarding Danny Night during the break talking about the ending
of the daylight saving time. And you know they have
the benefits and the pluses and minuses and all the
things that can happen. You know what, Quit chain here's
my theory, and dance with me on this one.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
I am.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
It's very rare that dance. Ever.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
I am question mark.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
He ever agrees with me on anything, but quit changing it.
Just leave it at one or the other. And if
you're gonna leave it at one, leave it at the
normal time. As far as I'm concerned. What we're going
to tonight, that's my favorite. Just take it to that.
Dan even said the only time I'm grumpy is when
we have to spring forward in the springtime, that particular Sunday,
(01:22):
I'm grumpy as can be for a week or so. Yeah,
and Gary takes the brunt of it and then yeah,
here Sunday morning. That's right because he has come in
on Sunday morning and do a show. So I say,
when daylight Saving time is done, which is Sunday morning
at two o'clock. Just leave it alone and let's stay
with that regular time. That's me, that's my opinion. I
(01:42):
like it, and I'm sticking to it. Always have always
said that. You know that, and it'll never change until
they finally just drop it and it'll probably go to
daylight saving time forever and not the what I like.
But that's the way it goes. But anyway, don't forget
tonight is when you turn the clocks back, you get
the fall get an extra hour tomorrow, so you get
the fall back, and things will change a little bit.
(02:04):
It's going to get darker a little bit earlier in
the evening, no doubt about it. But you know what,
the sun comes up a little earlier in the morning.
So there you go, get up in the morning and
enjoy the extra hour in the morning. It's pretty simple.
And you said, no, it's not because I don't like
getting up early. Well I do. Well, I do too
for my job, and just in general I do. I
(02:26):
always been that way. I'm not a late sleeper. I
have to get up early. I love I love watching
the sun come up if it's already up when I
wake up, and it's out. I feel like I've wasted
the day. And then maybe I got that from my parents.
I don't know my grandparents too, but that's the way
I am anyway. But don't forget tonight you turn o'clock's
back at two am. Now, who's going to get up
at two am and do that? Well, not me, So
(02:47):
you're gonna do it before you go to bed. But
don't forget.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
A lot of us have our cell phones now and
it just does it itself.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Does it for you? Some things do it for you,
some things don't. Just double check to make sure for
those things that do not turn it back. Yes, sir,
what happened. But you know, everything's going on in the yard,
and garden continues right on whether it's daylight saving time
or your normal time. So everything is going to keep
right on going. And we are in the fall season.
We're right in the middle of the fall season, and
(03:14):
you still have plenty of time to plant. Maybe a
little dry out there, but you're going to have to water.
But otherwise, you know, we still got plenty of time
to get those trees planted, get some evergreens in the ground,
get that screens established. You know, in in the ground
mulched in ready to go watered in, so the next
spring you can sit back and watch it start to
grow and enjoy those without having to do it in
(03:35):
the springtime. There's usually better planting time, and it's more
extended time in the fall than there is in the spring.
You never know what spring is going to bring. You know,
it's falls a lot more, I think, more consistent when
it comes to the weather. Spring you got, you know,
it's cold, it's wet, snow and it's whatever's going to do.
It's sunny, it's dry, back to rain. You never know.
Next thing you know, you're in a June and it's
(03:56):
all over and you didn't get everything planted. So you know,
take advantage of the fall season. More roocher developed this
time of the year than any other time the rest
of the year. And like I said, the watering, well
you would have had to do that. You do that
anyway with newly planted trees and shrubs, and make sure
you're watering the existing ones as well if you are
experiencing the dry weather that we are experiencing here as well.
(04:19):
Looking at the lawns right now, cool season lawns, a
lot of lawns still looking pretty good. That the last
big good rainfall we had kind of pulled a lot
of lawns out. I see a lot of lawns that
have a lot of thin areas, bear areas in them. Folks,
you know, putting off putting down new seed because of
the way the weather's been. If that's you, that's quite
(04:40):
all right. It's not an issue. But what I would do,
what I would suggest if you've still got halfway decent lawn,
you've got some bear areas you're gonna have to take
care of if you didn't feed the lawn at all
this fall, I'd at least get one feeding down, and
you could do that anytime right now. Furlong's lawn food
plus iron, something of that sort of lawn food. Go
(05:03):
ahead and put that down now, and do that as
your last You know, you could do it just one time.
We just do it one time. Do that as your
last feeding if you'd like, and at least do that
for the existing law and it's there, all right. And
then if you think you need to do some seating
because you've got a few bear areas here and there,
what I'd like for you to do is over the
next week or two, get out there with a leaf
(05:25):
rake and rake those areas out so if you clean
out any of the dead grass or dead debris that's
laying there, so that when we get into either December,
late December, or I like to wait until mid to
late February, you can do your dormant seating. At that time,
you can go into those areas and do the dormant
seating in those bare areas. But you raked all the
(05:45):
debris out and you got it ready to go, so
you know that's something you could do right now and
then have the seed on hand. So get out to
your local independent garden center and get the seed that
you need for dormant seating. And so what dormant seating
does that is it works it into the soil. The
seed's in place, it's ready to go. As soon as
(06:05):
the weather breaks, soil and air temperatures become just right
in the springtime, that seed's ready to bust, germination, start
to grow, root in and do the best that it
can before we get into the summer season, which doesn't
take very long in the spring. So you know that's
fall seating, the best time for cool season grasses dormant
(06:27):
seeding the second best time, spring seating the third, and
summer seating the worst. And that's the way it works.
So and again, if you put down seed during the
winter time, don't forget you can't put down a regular
pre emergent nervoside on those areas because it will stop
the grass seed from coming up. But get out and
get your grass seed in hand now so that you
(06:48):
have it available for you when you're ready to go
out and do your dormant seeding, and make sure it's
the grass seed or a grass seed mix or blend
that is compatible or matches what you're already growing in
your laun And if you don't know what it is,
maybe take a ten or twelve inch square of the
green lawn to the local garden center lest somebody to
try to identify what they see in there. It's kind
(07:09):
of hard to do that, but maybe you can pick
out which basically what you have in there, and then
go from there. And then when you do seating, always
save the label from the seed bag and put it somewhere,
stapled up in the garage or somewhere, so if you
ever have to come back and do some reseeding, you
know what you use the last time you seeded. All right,
(07:30):
keep that label so you know what you used. But again,
you've still got time to take care of that. In
some areas, if the lawn still looks pretty active, you
can still core air raid. I don't see any problem
with doing that at this stage, other than in fact,
you probably have to water to get that to work properly.
If you have broad leaf weeds growing in a lawn
that looks at the lawn looks okay, but you've got
some weeds here and there. Now is a good time,
(07:52):
still a good time to spot treat those broad leaf
weeds with a broad leaf weed killer. Still got time
to do that the way the weather's been holding in
there for us late this time of the year. So
be sure and do that. And of course keep mowing.
As long as it's growing, you keep mowing. And once
it stops mowing, you're growing, and the leaves may be
still falling on your lawn. Keep mowing in a high
(08:15):
raise up more up, and just keep mowing, just to
keep grinding those leaves up and putting it back into
your mature turf. Very very important to Tennessee. We go Karen,
good morning.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Hi, good morning. I'm up at the cracking well way
before dawn. As you can see, it's well. I got
up at five point thirty here, good for you, and
I don't watch the time change. But that's neither here
or there. Okay, my question. I have eight large ferns
that I've been bringing in every year. They hang and
(08:47):
they make such a mess in the house. They're too
full to dig them out and transplant. Can I just
cut all the throngs back and hopefully they'll grow nice
and big next year?
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Uh, and give that a try. What's going to happen
over the winters. You'll probably see them start to leaf
back out again. What I try to do is is
to you know, keep as much of the foliage there
as I can, and you can you know where it's
really hanging over the side of the pot. A lot
of times I'll just cut all those off and leave
what's sticking up above the pot there, so you kind
(09:21):
of remove half of the foliage, but leave some on
there and then let them, you know, lamp them through
the winter time and they are gonna shed, There's no
doubt about it. They just do that. And then in
the springtime, I just take them off. You take right
off the top of the pot, you know, right about it,
give them about a half an inch sticking up out
of the pot, cut them off and let them just
regrow totally in the springtime, and it doesn't take them
(09:43):
very long to fill back out again. So you know,
if you can personally, if you're going to do that,
I would take about half of that foliage out, but
leave half of it there just to get you through
the wintertime, and then cut it all off in the springtime,
start it all over again.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
What is the benefit fit to leave it there? If
you're going to cut it off in the spring.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Well, you're still you're still producing energy to feedback to
that root system over the wintertime. What a little it
may be. They're still staying alive. I mean, even though
they shed leaves over the wintertime, there's still some green
left on them typically right by the time you get
the spring. Oh yeah, So what they're doing is they're
still feeding the roots down below. They're still keeping that
(10:23):
massive roots down there alive. Whereas if you cut everything
off and now it goes dormant, and so you take
a bigger risk of it not coming back in the springtime.
By cutting all that off now and again, it'll probably
start to regrow anyway. And you know what you might
want to do, Karen, experiment with one. Take one and
do that and see what happens. Take the other ones
and just take everything off that's hanging off the side
(10:45):
and leave what's coming up straight up out of the pot.
Leave that there. Take one or two of them and
cut it off at the at the top of the
pot and compare and see what happens with both of them.
And if you do that, now you've got to call
me back and let me know how it turned out
for you.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Okay, all right, well at least be as much of
a mess.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Exactly exactly, But give that to give that a try.
And that's a bad thing about most of them, like
the Boston ferns, and that is that they just you know,
they need that light. It's dry in the house. They
just shed and it's horrible. And a lot of folks
by the time they get to the interwere they just
throw them away. You see a lot of them in
the trash and out in the garbage. They throw them out,
when when they could have just cut them off and
(11:26):
started them all over again. But try, try both ways
and see what happens for you.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Okay, I'm a cheap skate, you know, expensive those ferns are.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
I'm with you. Uh, you're a cheap You're not a
cheap skate. I get it.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
You know.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
If you can, if you can get them over winter,
good for you. But like I said, you know, you
cut them back and they can flush right back up again.
A lot of folks don't realize that.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Right, We'll try it.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Thanks, appreciate it, and keep me posted. I always want
to hear back from folks and we try something like that,
a little bit of an experiment, you know, and to
see what happens. See if you can get them too
limp through without any foliage on there whatsoever. There you go,
all right, quick break, we come back. Phone lines. You're

Our recipe this week from rita hiking fellas called it's
for mister Wilson. She said, it's apple butter. I love
apple butter. Dan, you like apple butter? Never tried it
(15:39):
apple butter? Correct? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 3 (15:43):
And she doesn't bring it to us anymore?
Speaker 1 (15:46):
So I can't try it? All right, Well, I'll bring
you some in. My mom used to make it. I mean,
it's all right, I'll try it. It's one of my
it's one of my favorites.
Speaker 3 (15:52):

I will bring some in for you. And you can

I love apple butter. But there's a very simple apple
butter recipe for you at Ron Wilson online dot com.
Be sure and check it out. Uh, and that the
recipes she had last week. A lot of people asking
about that it's a pulled pork. She did it for Halloween.
(16:16):
Uh yeah, it turned out pretty good. A couple people
said that we tried that it was darn good. Well,
of course, reader's recipes are always outstanding and they're easy,
so be sure and check it out again at Ron
Wilson online dot com. And one last thing. Our plant
of the week this week is Amarillis bulbs. All right, now,
you say, wait a second, Amarillis bulbs. Doesn't that have
to do with Christmas? Kind of? Yeah. We use them
(16:40):
a lot for Christmas for a little bit of color,
along with our pond set is and Christmas cactus and
all of those and paper whites. But if you want
to have you know, we talk, we buy all of
the kits and of course you'll I just harp on
it the last of the year, talking about scarf up
all the paper, the paper well, paper whites too. Amarillis
(17:01):
kiss because they're great Christmas presents. Oh my gosh, it's
the double thank you. They thank you when you get it,
they thank you about six or eight weeks later when
it's in flower. Whenever they pot it up and it
starts to flower. You get another caller a text and
says man that Amarillis was absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for
giving me the kid. They're so easy to do, it's crazy,
(17:21):
but it's one of those things that you also want
to scarf up a few because they usually go on sale,
like you know, between Christmas and New Year's if there's
any leftover, U and pot those up about every two
or three weeks, so as you've got one in flower
all the time through the winter season. Jerry Rose, our
giant pumpkin grower. They heard me talking about these last year.
(17:43):
Bought a whole bunch of them, and he gave him
away for Christmas. He sent me pictures Christmas presents, potted
up his own, got all kinds of great flowers, was
loving it, and of course he grew him over the summer,
and then he's got up sitting dormant right now. Got
to leave the dormant about six or eight weeks and
then he's gonna bring him back out can get him
to flower again. So you know, it was fun and
he enjoyed it, and he said, you're right, you know,
(18:04):
the great color. But I have it as our planet
of the Week this week because you will find Amarillis
Bulbs now available, both the bulbs and the kits in
your local garden centers or wherever they happen to sell
holiday plants. They're out there now, and if they aren't,
they'll be there very soon. And the reason I brought
it up now is the fact that if you want
(18:25):
them in flower for the holiday season, for Christmas and
New Year's remember what I just said, it takes about
six weeks or more to get them in the flower,
from the time you pot them up and they start
to you know, sit there for a couple three days
and all sudden start to see them kind of green up.
And then there you see start at a little bit
of the folly start to pop a little bit. Then
(18:46):
you see the flower buds start to come up. Well,
it takes about six weeks or so before they start
to open it. Once they do, and it depending on
how many stock flower stalks you have, and the number
of flower stalks you get depends on the size of
the bulb. They could last three four five weeks easily
giving you some good color. So by getting them started now,
(19:08):
that puts them starting to flower about mid December ish,
just in time for all of your little get togethers
for the holiday season. For Christmas and through the holiday season.
As well, and so then you start potting them up
about every two or three weeks so that you've got
some in flour all winter long. But that's why we
made it our plan of the week this week, so
(19:29):
that if you needed to get them started now over
the next week or so for the holiday season color.
That's why you want to get out and get them
right now and when you if you go look at
what we've got on there as far as information, it
also has the steps to get them to reflour. So
if you're interested in trying to get your ambirollis bulbs
(19:50):
to you know, reflour again next year is pretty easy process.
I've never been one hundred percent getting into flower the
following year. Times you get them, you know, depending on
what the bulbs you have, but sometimes you get them
all over reflowers. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. But
it's pretty fun and it can it's a great house
plant and you take them outside the summer, bring them
(20:13):
back in and it's fun to see if you can
get it to do it. Heavy feeders, I stress that,
so you make sure you feed them on a regular basis.
But again all that information is available for you on
our website. It is our plan of the week Amarillis Bulbs.
You'll find it at Ron Wilson online dot com. Have
you seen any crab apples or lilacs or other plants

Speaker 1 (22:13):
Com Talking Yard to at eight hundred eight two three
(22:54):
eight two five five. You know, I had several emails.
I get these every year and it's usually only a
few here and there, but I've probably got more questions
about this over the last two or three weeks I
think I ever have. And folks are looking around the
landscape and you're sitting there, you're driving the car, maybe
you're walking the sidewalk or whatever, or maybe you're in
your own yard and you look up and a spring
(23:17):
flowering tree or shrub right now is flowering. And we're
not talking full flower, but you've got enough flowers on
it that you notice that it's flowering. As a matter
of fact, two of them that I saved, I want
to thank Kathy van Arsdale from Louisville had sent me
pictures of her lilac, and then Alan Mary Hockley up
(23:40):
in the Bell Fountain, Ohio. And thanks Gary for sending
that along as well, both of them sending pictures of
their lilacs in flower. As a matter of fact, Kathy
van Arsdale and Louisville sent me a picture. She said,
this is really an unusual sight. Alan and Mary's is
(24:01):
a white one that was in flower. Kathy's is a
purple lilac. But what's interesting is behind it is there
maple tree in fall color. And she said, isn't that
quite a contrast? Look and see my maple tree in
fall color and my lilac and flower. And there's quite
a few flowers that are open on this lilac. And
(24:22):
it's like, you know, what is going on here? And
this does happen every year, some years worse than others,
and I say worse more than others. And there hasn't
been a whole lot of research done on this as
far as exactly what causes it. But it's called remontant
or remontancy, and remontancy is the ability of a plant,
(24:44):
the flowering plant that usually flowers in the springtime to
flower again a second time. And you know, there are
reblooming lilacs, and there are other reblooming shrubs that are
out there that have been bred to flower a second time.
As a matter of factor, reblooming lilacs sometimes it's a
little misunderstanding. They flower in the springtime and then they
kind of hold off, put out all that new growth,
(25:07):
and then open a few up in the fall. It's
not a show like in the spring, but a few
in the fall. But regular lilacs will do the same thing,
but it's called remontant or remontancy. And again they're not
really sure exactly what causes this or what triggers it,
but most of the consensus is that it's usually a
(25:27):
stress related reaction by the plant, or you know to
a change in the environment like extremely hot We had
that all fall, extremely dry in a drought situation, had
that all fall, sudden drop in temperatures had that happen,
was really hot, and also it got cool for three
or four nights in several days. That's some frosts there
(25:49):
and all sun drops, the tips of frost, et cetera,
they said, can trigger some of these plants to do that,
and otherwise they're not, you know, not one hundred percent
sure why they do it, but we do see it
in the landscapes every fall, a little bit here and there.
But this fall seems to have been whatever stress they
(26:10):
were going through, whatever it may be, whether it's the heat,
the cold, the drought, whatever, seem to have really triggered
a lot more flowers to open up. And we'll see
it mostly in lilacs, for sure, see that all the time.
I'll see for scythia that will open up and do that.
I've seen azaleas and rhodos typically rhododendrons uh pjam was
always it would always open up in the fall. You
(26:33):
get three or four nice of those buds, and you
know that once they're open, h that's gone for next spring,
so you lose those. So you know, I always tell
folks take a picture and enjoy it because that won't
be there in the springtime. Fortunately, it's not all the
flower buds that open up, but you know, in some
cases you can see a pretty good show. We've got
several crab apples in our area right now that are
(26:55):
showing enough color that you notice it. And I saw
two of the ornamental pairs, not the invasive pairs, but
the that were planted in a landscape that had about
a three inch so trunk diameter, so they've been there
for a little while that were white enough that I
could see the outline of both trees, and I caught
it outside of my eyes. I was driving by, so
(27:17):
you know, you do see it mostly with crab apples, lilacs.
Like I said, rodos occasional will do that as well.
But it's called roumontant or emontancy, and you know, nothing
you can do about it. It's all, from what we
can tell, environmentally related, some type of a stress quick
factor put on the plant and then they just happened
to react that way and open back up. Drick didn't
(27:39):
have thinking the spring or whatever. I don't know, but
that's what it is. There is a term for it,
and uh, like I say, just enjoy it because those
flower buds that have been spent for this fall won't
be there for next spring. But again, fortunately it's not
excessive enough that you you know, lose all of the
flowers on the plant. I swear there's two pairs I
saw yesterday. That's probably the most I've ever seen a
(28:01):
flowering tree out in color in the mid to late fall.
Due to this, the double flowering, I mean, it really
stood out kind of interesting. But the crab apples a
lot right now. So thank you for sending the pictures.
That had quite a few people that ask about that
thought we might want to bring it up in case
you take a look around your landscapes. You might be
(28:21):
seeing that as well. All right, We're gonna go to Kentucky.
Terry's got a tip for us this morning. Terry, good morning, Hi, Ron.
Speaker 6 (28:29):
Spent a long time since I talked to you.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Good to hear from you.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
A few weeks ago, I don't know if you remember,
there was a guy that called in and he had
problem with one false thread cypress kept dying on him.
He had a whole row of him, and there was
one that just kept dying, kept replanting. REPLI do you
remember that, I do, okay. I had the same situation
(28:54):
with oak tree. I have a row of red oaks
and one just wouldn't do well and they finally died.
I replanted it did everything I was supposed to do,
and it kept dying. I figured out we had a
gas line underneath that close to that root ball root system,
(29:14):
and the gas line had leaked. Would that cause that
tree to die?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Ooh, I don't know that I could answer that. I
don't know.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
I mean it was the leak was probably six to
eight feet away from the tree itself. But you know,
the rootball goes out right, you know. I now that
the gas leaks fixed, I haven't had time to, you know,
get rid of the old soil. I wonder if that
could have contaminated that soil enough to kill that tree.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
I don't think it would. Again, you can have it tested,
you know, there's a lot of labs that can test it,
and you can tell them what you're testing for and
they can take a look to see. But I would
think that a gas it's just like umigating soils to
sterilize them or whatever. Eventually that does wear off.
Speaker 6 (30:05):
Yeah, but it would be it would be a constant leak.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Yeah, I'm just saying for planting a new tree.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
Yeah, yeah, I know, But I wonder if that would
be causing your caller a couple of weeks ago, if
he looked into that's.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
A good question. And again, you know, six or eight
feet away from where you're planting. I mean, it still
could move through the soil that much. I don't know.
I'm gonna I'm writing myself a note here to find out. Yeah,
I'll do some research to find out if that possibly
could could have been the issue.
Speaker 6 (30:35):
Yeah, it would be about six to eight feet away
from the tree trunk, but you know the root ball
goes out another two feet, right, so it's closer closer
to four feet or three and a half feet. I
wonder if that could be you know, contaminating that soil
enough to kill that he had a false spread cyprus.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Well, you know, we're always trying, always trying to be
a detective, trying to figure out what all the other
factors that could be causing a problem that very well
could be. And Terry, I'll tell you what I wrote
myself a note. I'm gonna find out if that has
any effect on plants or not.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
Okay, great, That's all I got for you, right.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
All right, Terry, appreciate the call. Good hearing from you.
I don't if you happen to know, I don't know
what the gas leak would do uh, to the root system.
I don't know. I can't answer that question. Never been
I've never asked that and never looked into it. But
we'll certainly do that because I love looking into, you know,
learning more and looking into things like this. Trying to
figure out that's always an issue, you know, trying to
(31:31):
figure out like that doing your detective work, what in
the world could be possibly happening in this one spot
that I can't get another plant to grow that a
plant did grow there at one time. Something changed, something's
in the soil. What happened And that's always a tough
one to try to figure that one out. But again,
I'll look into that gas leak and if you're familiar
with it, if you know for sure, we'd love to

good morning, Good morning, Ron. How are you today, Chris?
I'm great in yourself, excellent, Thank you good.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
I was just listening to your last caller, and I
wanted to let you know that I had a little
gas leak in our front yard, you know, near the
sidewalk for probably the better part of ten years before
they actually got to.
Speaker 7 (34:50):
The bottom of it and fixed it. And I never
ever could get grass to grow, and it was probably
about an eight foot di I'm gonna circle in the
front that I was just no matter what I did,
I could not get grass to grow.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
And then after they fixed it perfectly fine, there you go.
I think you may have just answered our question.
Speaker 8 (35:19):
Well, it's not the same as a tree, but it's something,
you know, So you've answered a million of my questions.
So I figured that was the least I could do
was to call in and let you know.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
I appreciate that. And you know what the thing of
it is, lawns can be very forgiving. I mean they
could tolerate a whole bunch of different conditions out there,
So you know, to fork to wipe out the grass
totally in that area, and obviously having it fixed and
then coming back in the grass, coming right back obviously
tells the tale right there. And I really do appreciate it. Chris,
(35:53):
You'll be well, all right, take care. Good hearing from you.

Speaker 4 (36:11):
Yes, and I kind of put them in.
Speaker 9 (36:13):

Now?
Speaker 9 (36:20):
I live, I live south of Columbia, South Carolina. It's
are weathers miles and if I can't plan them, how
far apart should I plant them?
Speaker 1 (36:30):
And this was elderberry?
Speaker 3 (36:32):
Yes, sir, all right?
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Can you plant them in the fall? You can? The
only thing I'm thinking is there root system? Pretty well?
I mean what kind of root system do you have
on them?
Speaker 6 (36:44):
Now?
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Pretty I mean are they still in the water? Are
they still in are they in soil?
Speaker 9 (36:49):
I have a few in soil, and then I've still
got several with water, and I transplant them into soil
and I keep it pretty moist at first because of
the water.
Speaker 6 (37:00):
Sure, but I mean they're really crazy.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
They've got the yep, well, that's that's excellent. I The
thing I was asking is that if they've got a
pretty good at root system, the kicker is when you
put them in that container, and I'm assuming you're using
potting soil something like that, you're still able to Yeah,
there you go, and you're able to control the moisture levels.
(37:27):
At that point when you put them in the ground
becomes a little bit more difficult trying to control that.
So my question would be, do we go ahead and
pot them all up in a one or two gallon
pot and let them continue to root there through the
fall this winter? Of course, you don't have a really
tough winter, but this winter, let's just overwinter. Then once
(37:47):
they go dorm it like in an unheated garage or
an unheated shed water about once a month or so,
bring them back out in the springtime. Now they've developed
a little bit better root system, a little bit more
hardened off, and then I'd say, let's go for getting
them in the ground at that time. I'm just trying
to acclimate them so that you're as successful as you
can be from the from that rooting into the water
(38:09):
to actually putting them into the ground. You can plant
in the fall, and you've still got plenty of time
to do that obviously, but I'm just concerned about getting
them hardened off and having that root system established enough
and tough enough that they can handle going right into
the soil. So I would I would personally pot them
all up, let them root in there, get a nice
(38:30):
little root system going before I would put them in
the ground, which would be, like I said, as soon
as we get the weather breaks for you in the springtime,
pull them out there. I think you'd be surprised how
many roots they will develop it over the wintertime in there,
and then get them planted at that point and go
from there as far as how far apart. You know,
elderberries can get pretty good size, and you know you're
(38:51):
talking a plant that you know easily can get six
eight feet high and wide. So in a case like that,
you know you'd be planning those on. You know, figure
if they got eight feet wide, you would be planning
them on eight foot centers four feet four feet, and
they would be touching at that point. Now you could
go closer if you wanted to and just you know,
(39:12):
create a hedge out of them. But even on six
to eight foot centers, eventually they will touch each other.
Speaker 7 (39:18):
Okay, well, I've got twenty acres so there.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
Yeah, oh yo, yeah, twenty acres. Absolutely. I'll tell you what.
I love elderberry jam. That stuff is absolutely outstanding.
Speaker 10 (39:33):
I make an elderberry syrup allergies. Yes, that's mainly what
I'm going forward.
Speaker 9 (39:44):
But I didn't know you could make elderberry jam.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Oh yeah, my mom used to make elderberry jam and
it is absolutely outstanding. Of course, you got to fight
the birds for him. You gotta get there and get
to get them before the birds do. But man, if
you do, yes, yep, that's what you're gonna have to
do to protect them. Protect You're right, But yeah, that's
that that works well. But yeah, do the syrup. But
(40:08):
as it gets a couple of recipes. If you can't
find one, let me know. I'll send you my mom's
recipe and we'll you know, get you doing the jams
as well.
Speaker 9 (40:17):
Oh wow, you wouldn't happen to have one of her
recipes in her own handwriting with you.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
I don't know if she does or not. I'll find out, though.
Speaker 9 (40:27):
I made my h my children, grandchildren books in my
mother's grandmother's and some of their auntsoms.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
That have passed on.
Speaker 9 (40:36):
I made this for Christmas last year or so.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
What a great idea. Yeah, you know what. I never
even thought of doing that, because you know, we usually
type it all up and make it look real professional.
Why not do it in their own hand. What a
great idea.
Speaker 9 (40:52):
Yeah, and you put it, you know, you just printed
on some pretty paper, laminade them so.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
They don't get messed up.
Speaker 8 (40:58):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (40:59):
I love.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
Oh absolutely well, Robin. Good luck with everything. If I
if you need the recipe, email me and I'll see
if I can. If she's got.
Speaker 6 (41:08):
One for you, I sure will and thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
My pleasure. Be safe driving out there, and the good
luck with those elderberries.
Speaker 6 (41:17):
I do.
Speaker 1 (41:18):
Elderberry jam absolutely my favorite. I've always said my mom
makes the best. Rita Hikenfeld, who's always on our show,
are herbalist, she makes it as well, and I think
she makes the elderberry syrup as well, if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 4 (41:31):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
And I never forget, I forget what I was gonna.
I was looking into the elderberries because it's expensive elderberry
syrup for allergies, for sinuses and all. It's not cheap. Uh.
And you know you can make your own and uh
and of course, uh Rita, I think she actually she
may have given us a recipe on that as well,
but I don't remember. But anyway, fairly easy to grow.
Speaker 10 (41:52):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (41:52):
You just got to fight the birds for him when
they come into flower. But man, is that good? And
and again they have to be cooked. But love that elderberry.
All right, to Mason, we go, Chad, good morning.
Speaker 11 (42:05):
And I got a question about a street tree situation.
So I've got two pinoaks I just pulled out. They
were doing very terrible and under one of the trees,
I've got maybe twelve inches down. I've got a four
inch PVC pipe right under that tree. So I'm guessing
(42:29):
I cannot replace the tree like I can't put another
tree there. Well, I guess that's the question.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
You don't want to. I mean, the thing of it is,
what's the PVC pipe for?
Speaker 11 (42:44):
Well, that's a good question. We have no idea. We
live on a hill. We're very far back from this position.
I don't have any drainage from the house that I'm
aware because I don't have a since I'm on a hill.
Speaker 1 (43:03):
Uh, well, you know what I plan. I try to
find out obviously what the PVC pipes if it doesn't
leak or whatever. You know. The thing of it is,
trees don't know that that water is there.
Speaker 6 (43:13):
Now.
Speaker 1 (43:13):
If it starts to sweat or leak or cracked, then
of course they would they the roofs would go toward it.
But otherwise they never know that that's there, just like
a stick or a rock or something that's in the soil.
It's not the best thing in the world to do,
but you can get around that. But I try to
find out what that is before I would before i'd
be planning sending back in that area again. Most definitely,
(43:35):
That's why I doubt that that was the issue. Hey,
we got to go, do me a favorite email. I mean,
I'll get back to you. We'll converse with the email
as well. You're in the garden with Ron Wilson.
