Speaker 1 (00:40):
Our toll free number eight hundred eight two three eight
two five five. Good morning. I am Ron Wilson. I
am your firstly yard boy. We're all talking about yard ning,
kicking this month of January out of here. Next week February,
next weekend, February rolls in. We got four weeks there
and we're into March. We're back in the spring. Now.
If you're down south office, he's gonna be there a
little bit quicker maybe just talking with Gary Bachman, our
(01:03):
southern gardener. We just got rid of eight and a
half inches of snow five miles north of the Gulf
in Mississippi, So you never know what's gonna happen, but
under whatever normal would be circumstances, they're going to be
getting started here in another few weeks as well in
their yards and gardens. And of course he gets the
early start because he does all container gardening, earth boxes,
(01:24):
five gallon buckets, you name it. He grows in it
and sent me pictures this week of his backyard and
it's all those things are piled up with eight inches
of snow. He has been down there for years and
years and years with Mississippi State and just you know,
been a weather horticulturists and professors at all and never
(01:45):
ever experienced that before, although he is as a child
from Michigan, so he remembers what it was like way
back when. Hey, I want to put a shout out
to Larry Sunderman. Larry has been a listener of our
show for many, many, many years. He travels around the country,
has lived in in all different parts of the areas,
but always checking out our show, whether it's streaming online,
down only the downloaded, the iHeart app, listening to it
(02:06):
through the app, whatever it may be. But he stays
in touch with our show on a regular basis and
emails lets me know what they're doing. When he was
in I think he was in Texas.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
For a while.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Now he's out in central Oregon, been out there for
some time. We were talking last week about the glowing
logs in the wood and he said, you know what's
funny is back in the fifties he was a boy
scout and camping in Michigan and he said, I we
saw log that actually was going in the dark. He
broke off a piece, took it home, kept it, got
it wet, put it in a closet, and actually growed
(02:37):
this would glow for he said several months. He said
he was amazed. Anyway, he still growing peppers and tomatoes
in his greenhouse, plus herbs during the wintertime. So you know,
he's always sending pictures of what was growing on in
his small greenhouse, and he grew all kinds of great
things during the wintertime no matter where he was living.
So Larry, always a pleasure hearing from you, and a
(03:00):
pleasure hearing from anybody out there that listens to our
show on a regular basis. There's a lot of them
that you folks that email me keep me up to
day with what you're doing year after year. We get
to see what's happening and what you're doing out there too,
so we appreciate that very very much, and of course
we appreciate your calls as well. Don't forget our website.
It's Ron Wilson Online dot com. Plan of the Week.
This week, I've been focusing on trees because it's so
(03:22):
important to get out there and plant trees, and I've
been trying to pick trees that are really good trees
really obviously, but something a little bit different, maybe that
you haven't seen as much out there. That you might
want to incorporate into your landscape. And you can scroll
back through our website and see the different ones we've chosen.
Last week was paperbark maple. This week, if you look
(03:44):
at both of the tip sheets for paperbark maple and
for our tree, this week was his Persian ironwood parodia.
If you look at the pictures, they are very similar
in what they do. Two medium size, specimen type trees,
small ornamental trees that are absolutely gorgeous. Again, you don't
see a lot of them out there. They're available, but
(04:06):
these are two trees that I guarantee you if you
have them in your yard or garden or patio planting
or whatever it may be. Whoever comes to your house
going with, they're gonna want to know what it is
because they're so spectacular. They give you you season round
interest with their bark colors, exfoliating bark, fall colors, good
dark green in the summer, small flowers on boat not
too noticeable. The tree itself is gorgeous, the way they're shaped,
(04:31):
just something for you year round. But again, this week's
is called parodia or persian ironwood. Be sure and check
that out. Rita's recipe is a garlic palm bites from Rita.
That's a garlic chicken that you can make just in
time for that big game coming up in a couple
of weeks and enjoy those for a halftime snack or
whatever it may be. The big game, the big game.
(04:52):
I'm not allowed to say that, right Are you allowed
to say that? They might allowed to say that. You
can say the big game, but not what the game is.
Not what it is now. I can say National championship game,
we're Ohio State one, but I can't say what the
big game is coming up in a couple weeks. Anyway,
talking about yardening, a few things here I wanted to
(05:12):
hit real quick. One is as we start to approach
our growing season again, no matter where you live, right,
no matter where you live, how important it is to
know first of all what zone you have your growing zone.
And I was listening to some folks talking about this
the other day, and sometimes it gets a little confusing.
You know, what exactly is our growing zone? And if
you look USDA as a map, and if you just
(05:36):
type in Google growing zone, planting zone, and you'll see
this map come up, and it's all divided up into
these different zones. We were talking to Gary Bachman in
Mississippi this morning and he's in a nine to A.
Where we are located, we are in the zone six
got A and B, and we're seeing a little bit
of seven right at the southern part of Ohio along
(05:58):
the Ohio River and at the very top along the
lake up Top as well. A little bit of zone
seven is starting to creep in as things continue to
warm up. But anyway, know what planting zone you're in.
What does that tell you? Well, if you look at
the hardy and non hardy plants that you purchase at
your local independent garden center, they'll have plant hardiness zones
(06:20):
on there. So for us in a zone six, all right,
we'll take that for instance, we're looking for plants that
if we want them to come back every year, hardy plants.
We want plants to say zone hardy to zone six
or hardy to zone five four to three. If they're
hardy zone six five four to three, you know they're
they're they're pretty tough for our area. And if it
(06:42):
says zone seven, you're on a hardiness borderline. And those
zones are based on average coldest winter temperatures. Has nothing
to do with the frost, nothing to do with with
the summertime heat, you know, anything like that. Although you
can start to have characteristics of each particular zone, but
(07:05):
it's strictly based on your hearty. Winter hardiness is what
it boils down to, how hardy is that plant through
our winter, And it's depending on again where that where
you know, what zone you're in. And then the average
coldest winter temperatures for us, I think it's minus between
minus five and minus ten. So when we got down
(07:25):
into single digits last week, we're still within our zone ranges,
you know, as far as the plants that being hardy
for the area. So as long as they are Zone
six and they are, we're very healthy going into the winter.
We're watered well in the fall, planted in the right location,
all of that stuff to keep it healthy and nice,
should make it through the winter without any issues. If
(07:48):
the plant, even though it's a Zone six suffering didn't
get watered well. We saw that with some of the
evergreens a couple of years ago. Without sudden dropping temperatures,
those can affect the overall heartiness of the plant as well.
But it's you know, it's but the the the plant
should make it through those particular temperature zones. So that's
(08:08):
all that thing is. Now you can give you general
characteristics of what also what your temperatures like. You know
this is own six. Well, we usually have this kind
of a summer, usually have this kind of a whatever.
If you want to know when your first frost, you know,
your your first frost in the fall typically is average,
or when your last average frost is in the springtime
for planting tender annuals, you know, you have to go
(08:32):
to other maps, uh, and and and and the best
thing to do is just put in again if you
if you Google, just put in their first frost or
you know, last frost, frost free dates, frost free dates.
And what that'll do is that'll give you They used
to just use a if you had a frost free
date for your area, and ours used to be May fifteenth, Right,
(08:53):
What that that meant was at May fifteenth, your chances
of having a frost from that point forward were fifty
percent or less based on past averages. All Right, You're
looking at past dates of when it was frosting, and
as we have continued to warm over the years, that
frost free date in the springtime has gotten closer and closer,
and now we're at the beginning of May late April.
(09:15):
That's at the fifty percent chance. If you're looking for
ninety percent chances, so you're not going to get frost,
then it could be May fifteenth. So now they're doing
these charts where it says you're you know, if you're
you get a ten percent chance, twenty percent chance, fifty
percent chance, ninety percent chance. They give you all these
different dates, and you would use those based on the
(09:37):
how tender the annuals are that you're planting, like cool
crops can take those thirty forty degree temperatures, whereas the
tomatoes and peppers can. So point being is this planting
zone where zone six is based on winter coldest average temperatures,
how hardy will the plant be coming through the winter
frost free dates, whether it be in the spring time,
(10:00):
and of course your first frost and fall is based
on where you are, and again it's characteristics within that zone.
But put in your zip code or your city or
state or city, and then it could tell you more
specific in your area. And then of course your micro
climate within your own herd will determine that the frost
amounts as well. Living out in the country, living in
(10:20):
the town blah blah blah can make it the chase.
But those are different things, and they don't you know. Again,
the zone will give you general characteristics, but you've got
to look at the specifics as far as frost free
dates and winter hardiness states zones. They're not the same thing, right.
I hope I didn't confuse you there, But you got
to look at both of them, not just the zone six.
(10:42):
And this is where we are. It changes depending on
what your zip code, and that information is so readily available.
As a matter of fact, I found a chart somebody
was asking about when the plant seeds for a lot
of the tomatoes and peppers and things like that, and
you base that on your average frost free date. That's
when you would go out and play those and you
count back how long it takes for the cas of
(11:02):
German eight and be ready to transplant outside. And most
seed packs will tell you that. But again you've got
to go and look and see when that date would be.
Garden dot org, garden dot org and then put in
your zip code. It does a really good job with
the percentages. All right, that tells you it takes you
all along. But it's garden dot org. We'll give you
(11:25):
those frost free dates. And look, if you're looking for
truly frost free, go to that ninety percent date because
that's when it's pretty chances of getting frost after that
are minimal, real quick. Anna in West Virginia, Good morning.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
Talking your aready get eight hundred and eight two three
eight two five five. You know, we're talking about this hardiness,
plant zones and then of course the frost free dates
in your particular area. Two different things there. But we
picked up a new station for our Gardening Network out
in Eugene, Oregon a couple of weeks ago, kug N
five ninety News Talk five ninety out of Eugene, Oregon,
(16:24):
and I was doing some research and they're they're zone eight,
so they're kind of like Flora Georgia zones there. But
if you talk about confusing the state of Oregon has
I think ten or eleven different. They have all the
planting zones from because the mountains and the ocean, and
(16:46):
in inland and the old They go everywhere from minus
twenty nine degree the the minus twenty for their hearty
in the zone five A all the way up to
ten eight crazy. So yeah, you got to really look
to see you and check everything out where you're planting
if you live in the state of Oregon, because they're
all over the bord as far as the herding the zones.
(17:09):
Back to the Cincinnati we go gardening phone Susie, good morning.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Hello, I have.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
Last year. I started from sieves, first time ever, and
I grew them. I love them. I had light and
water and everything, and I grew twelve different herbs and
three different types of tomatoes. And I transplanted everything when
it was free to do so, and put them in
containers on a patio. The herbs I got three of
(17:41):
them out of that, and the tomatoes they flourished, they
grew like wild things. And I didn't get a single
tomato out of any of them.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Wow, I was mad. Yeah, I would be too, sad.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
They didn't get pollinated.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Well you know, well, you know what what's interesting? Did?
Let me ask you this? First of all, Let's go
just go to the tomatoes. Did they flower at all?
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Yes, they were tons of flowers.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
All right, So your neighbor was right that they didn't
get pollinated. But here's the deal. Tomatoes can be pollinated,
whether it be through insect or wind or vibration. So
when tomatoes are grown inside a greenhouse, they actually go
through and shake the vines, so if the pollen falls
out and falls onto the flowers below, or they have
slight breezes, or sometimes they bring in boxed bumblebees to
(18:40):
go through and pollinate. So there that is a possibility.
But the other thing is tomatoes are so darn pickie
that when the temperatures are too cold at night or
too hot during the day, that the fruit won't set either.
So your your neighbor was right if you had a
bunch of flowers on there, but she got no fruit whatsoever.
(19:00):
Obviously the pollen was not setting, and you weren't getting
good fruit set. If you try that again and you're
still not seeing. And they were in full sun right.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
Oh most of the time.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Yet Okay, and again tomatoes need I have pulled it
off in a four hour direct sun. My mom has
the container ones and the tree there gives them probably
about three or four direct hours of sun and then
good bright light the rest of the day, and she
does pretty good job. Cherry tomatoes especially, get a lot
(19:31):
of them on there, but again full sun, as much
sun as possible. And if they if this happens again
next year and you're getting the flowers but you're not
getting any fruit set, there is a product it's called
blossom set, and it helps the pollen to stick on
to those flowers. So a lot of times when we
get a situation where the heat's not right, you know,
(19:53):
it's too hot too cool, can get them to set.
Sometimes that blossom set can work out for you quite nicely.
Keep listen thing, I'll address the herbs as we come
after the break for you as well. Try to come
up with some matches for you there too. Eight hundred
eight two three eight two five five. That's our number
here in the garden with Ron Wilson, Green thumb or not.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Ron can help at one eight hundred eighty two three talk.
This is in the garden with Ron Wilson.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
It doesn't matter where you live, you'll always be dealing
with rust. But whether it's rusty nuts or bolts or
rusty parts and equipment. You really only need to remember
one product, PB Blaster. It's the number one selling penetrate
for breaking for you rusted are stuck parts. It works
every time and with their new pro straw top you
can control the float down to just a drop. So
(21:07):
remember when there's rust to bust, it's pbe Blaster. You
can pick up a can at home, autit our hardware
stores and always use Blaster products and working like a pro. Hey,
it's Gary Salivan for Roto Router plumbing and water cleanup,
a company that has been trusted and recommended for generations
coast to coast. Roto Router fixes clogged drains, leaky faucets
(21:28):
and running toilets. They repair and replace water heaters, garbage disposals,
some pumps, water softeners, and every other residential a commercial
plumbing fixture. I use Rotor Ruter at my house and
you should leave plumbing to the pros too. Call one
eight hundred get Roto or go to Rotrouter dot com today.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
We're talking to you ard and you get eight hundred
eight two three eight two five five. Don't forget our website.
Roan Wilson online dot com talking there before growing things
and containers that growing from seed, got the plants planting
them and really no production. And I look at that.
You kind of have to walk your way through and
again encourage her. If this comes up again this year,
(22:46):
take pictures, email them to me. You will try to
walk you through a tomatoes. The thing about tomatoes, I
never plan them in any me personally. Now A lot
of folks will do them in a five gallon bucket.
That'd be the smallest thing I would use for growing
indetermined to tomatoes. Determined sometimes could take a little smaller one,
but I use twenty gallon pots. Twenty gallon pot. Sometimes
I'll put basil in the bottom, but otherwise it's one
(23:08):
tomato plant and a twenty gallon pot. So I give
it as much of a root system as I can,
so you don't have to water quite as often, and
it likes a good established root system in that soil.
I usually will sprinkle in some osma coat, which is
a real slow release fertilizer. Doesn't give it all at
one time, slow release feedsure kind of throughout the season
does an overfeed. And then I will also work in
(23:31):
at the top a little bit in the soil, but
at the top I will put it in kind of
scratch it in and then watered in. I use Aspoma's
Tomato Tone. It's a great all purpose, all natural fertilizer
for tomatoes. And it has calcium, and it's very very
important because potting soil does not have calcium in it.
You'll get blossom in rod every time, so you got
(23:53):
to add a little bit of calcium in there. And
then of course, watering very important. They don't like to
you know, in consistency is of watering, so you'll soak
them well, close to dry, soak them well, close to dry,
soak them well. But consistent even watering very very important.
Don't overfeed. If you use a fertilizer that's high in nitrogen,
they'll grow like a weed. You'll get tomatoes that grow
(24:13):
like crazy, even set a few flowers, but they rarely
set the fruit because they're concentrating on growing rather than fruiting.
So watch that you don't overfeed. And that's why I
like that Aspoma's a tomato tone combined with the osma
coat kind of a slow feed lower numbers, just does
(24:33):
a great job for you. So keep that in mind.
Don't overfeed. Make sure you have a good consistent watering,
large enough container to support it, and then you know,
tomatoes and peppers of two and other plants as well
can follow as cat They're very picky as far as
proper fruit set depending on the temperatures. Naytime temperatures drop down,
(24:54):
they won't set fruit. Daytime temperatures get above eighty two
eighty five degrees, they won't set fruit. So temperatures will
cause that, high humidity will cause that to not happen.
I mean, it does occur that way, So that can
be a little bit picky, so be cautious about that
as well. Nothing much you can do about it besides
trying to use blossom sets. So if you've got a
(25:15):
lot of flowers but you're not getting fruit, you know
you waited, you wait waited, try the blossom set. It
may you spray the flower of the flowers with it,
and it may help you to set some fruit. If
I don't know what kind of tomatoes you were growing,
but I've always told folks, if you don't have any
success growing tomatoes and containers and you're doing all that
right stuff, try doing cherry tomatoes first. I swear to you,
(25:37):
cherry tomatoes are the easiest things to grow in containers
or in the ground. Of all the tomatoes, do them first,
and you know, do some of the indeterminates to get
tall and viiny, and do a couple determinants that stay smaller,
smaller fruit, smaller plant. See if see if you can
get those to go first and then expand from there.
(25:58):
So there's some suggestions for the tomatoes. As far as
the herbs, herbs usually do fairly well in containers, and
again overfeeding can be a real issue. Herbs are not
high feeders. A little bit of osma code at the
beginning of the season, a little bit of a garden
tone from a spowma or whatever sprinkled in, that's all
you need. They're good to go. I have grown them
(26:19):
in containers and never put anything in there and they
just do great. So don't overfeed them. Again. Watering for
the herbs, I do a little bit more of a
close to drying out then, so come close to drying out.
And again sunlight. They would like to have four to
five hours of sun minimum, and the tomatoes, of course
would be five hours six hours. But I have pulled
(26:40):
it off in an area where it got only four
hours of direct sun bright the rest of the time,
not as many tomatoes, but I have had that work
for you as well. So again, if you get into
situation still not doing well, get some pictures to me,
get in touch with me, and I'll try to help
you out as much as I can. A couple other
things real quick, I was gonna have Monica Brubaker on
today wild Birds Unlimited. We're gonna talk about feeding the
(27:02):
birds this time of the year. She's got the flu
and we had to cancel out this morning. But one
thing that came up that I thought was interesting. Somebody
was talking about thistle and thistle and the misconception there
putting thistle seed in a bird feeder causes the thistle
to come up in your landscape beds and your lawn
and things like that. Canada thistle and some of the
(27:23):
other thistles as well. Well, that's not true. The thistle
that is sold through bird feeders for birds is actually
not from the United States at all. I think it's
from Africa somewhere. But it's nyger ny g e er
nyger this and it's commonly called thistle, and it's like thistle,
(27:44):
it's a little bit more meaty, but thistle eaters love
it commonly known as thistle, And if I'm not mistaken,
it's not hardy here, can't grow here, and I think
they treat that microwaving it. I believe, not treated with
chemicals the microwave, but I believe to make sure that
it doesn't grow in our area so it's not invasive.
(28:04):
So if you're using thistle seed from a bird feed source,
that's not the same thistle that you would see the
seeds blowing around from the thistle seed heads like the
Canada thistle and things like that. Totally different products. And
if you're having issues with the milo and stuff coming
up in your yard or in your landscape bed, expect
that to happen obviously, because a lot of it falls down.
(28:26):
If you buy the cheaper bird feed, they're going to
kick a lot of that stuff out. That's what grows
very quickly down at the base. You can use a
more expensive feed which has less junk seeds in there,
the less they throw out and the fewer weed seeds
that you see coming up as well. But again remember
(28:46):
that thistle is not the thistle seed that's growing on
the seed heads that you see thistle growing wild along
expressways and things like that. That's not it. It's actually
imported from another country. But it's called nysure, or commonly
known as thistle for bird feed. Annie in Westchester, good morning.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Good morning, Ron, I have a tomato question. Yes, in
the cold ice, I have grown tomatoes and containers for
many years, and I usually always plant at least three
early girl bush tomatoes.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Uh huh.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
And this year they were great. In July. I got
my first one shortly after the first fourth of July. Well,
then by the time I got to August, the fruit
would not ripen. It would just turn gray on the vine.
And I've never had that before.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Interesting, And it was that the plant looked good, plants
looked great.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
All my other plants were continuing to ripe, and I
had better bush, and then quite a few cherries and
a couple of heirlooms, and everything else was fine. It
was just the three early girls they would not ripen.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Interesting. And again, I'm trying to think later in the season.
It was pretty warm at that point, sometimes, you know,
so again, temperature can affect the ripening of those tomatoes
as well, and they could could get to a point
where they just stop and they don't do anything else.
And I've actually had people or might do it myself,
pick them off of there, take them inside, put them
on a window sill, and they wind up ripening under
(30:17):
under yeah, cooler conditions. I don't know. Did you try
that with any of those?
Speaker 3 (30:21):
I did, and they were fine inside, and we actually
ate quite a few green fried tomatoes.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Yeah, yeah, But I was just.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Wondering if there was I don't know, if something last
year was just different. Maybe it was too hot, because
boy was it hot.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Yeah, it was hot, and that could be what had
affected just and being that was just the three early
girls and they were in separate containers, that's what I
started to look at and say it had to be,
you know, like a weather can related condition something like
that versus anything else. And if you picked a few
and brought them inside and they ripen, more than likely
that was the issue. Okay, all right, any good talking
(30:56):
with you.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
All right, appreciate you call. Oh, I appreciate listening to
our show. All right, let's take a quick break. You
know who's coming up next, The Man, the Myth, the Legend.
Mister Gary Sullivan here in the garden with Ron.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
Welcome back. You're in the garden with Ron Wilson's Time
for the Man, the Men, The Legend, the Most listened To.
Holman Proven Show hosted What's He Saying? Holman Proven Show
hosted the entire Solar System his website, Garysullivan Online dot com.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the One, the Only Mister Gary Solomon. Oh,
(33:40):
I'm so excited to be here. Why he thought he
was just talking to me?
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Still not you still talking to him? I didn't even
know I was in the air. But anyway, aggresses green Ron.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Yeah, well it was white a couple of days ago.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
It's been white for about two weeks, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Yeah, it's what happened. It's green now. Well, thank goodness,
it's going away now. It's just the dirty stuff, yeah,
on the edges of the sod streets in that. But
I think after tomorrow most of that should be gone.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Too, and it should be clean up weekend clean up weekend.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
He says, yes, sir, so any leftover salt or with
the ice or that's left on this.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Munch of that. Did you have you noticed how much
salt just and I'm just talking about on the roadways. Yeah,
just laying at Ceturn Lane or something. You can just
see this just looks like sand. Yeah, and you know
your garage floor looks the same. I would recommend you
kind of get that all.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Sweep that up, don't you load it off? Just sweep
it up, put it back in the can ye use
it again, Use it again. You are a Cincinnati chili lover, Yes, sir,
it doesn't matter which one. But did you see the
new ice cream? And I know you're a big ice
cream eter.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
I did see that, oddly enough, we were just talking
about that. Yeah. Yeah, well you're the one that loves
to try new stuff.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Skyline ice cream. Yeah, with crackers in it.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Yeah, that's the part that intrigues me. So no, I
haven't try to.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
I'm looking at a picture of it, and uh, there
are chunks of little pieces of crackers in there.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
Really, that's amazing. You think they get soggy? Yeah, I know,
I guess I have to try something like everybody else run.
I guess they would go have you know, skyline and
then go have you know, a bowl of ice cream afterwards.
So he's probably something there. I just I can't visualize
what that would taste like.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Do you think that you would top that with cheddar cheese?
Speaker 2 (35:29):
No?
Speaker 1 (35:30):
I don't think so either.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
I think maybe you could use a little bit of
chocolate syrup, chocolate and together chocolate and chili.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Anyway, Yeah, they do that, So they say they do that.
You can bite you know, you can buy chocolate with
the peppers in it. Yeah, so yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
I don't know. You're the one that's our experimental taster.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
I was going to send it to your house.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Well, no, you're the you know Jalipino man.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Okay, did you try the chicken big Mac? Yeah? You
try that either, I did. Is it still too much chicken?
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
How much chicken?
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (36:09):
What is it real thick or something?
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Yeah? Well it was to those chicken patties on there,
it was I don't know a lot of chicken. My
taste buds weren't handling it because they were tasting the
Big Max sauce and then they were tasting chicken chicken, Like,
wait a second, this isn't right. Yeah, I can't do this,
can't do that. I should have tried a second one though,
just to be short, you know, it's all about easy
when it comes to mister Gary Sullivan. And I'm surprised
(36:30):
that you haven't gotten one of those automated robot lawnmowers yet.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
How do you know?
Speaker 1 (36:34):
I don't, well, you don't. And I know that you
like to mow your grass. That's why. Okay, do you
have one? Because the last time I asked you that,
you said no, Why would I want one? I like
to mow my grass.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Yeah, well I don't like it that much. I mean
it'd be nice mower right now too. You like this
during leaf season the last mowing, I'm like, godly gosh,
this mare is really hard to push the grounds probably
at that and I looked and I kind of lifted
it up a little bit. My self propelled was like one.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
It was not self propelling, not.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Very well, maybe a little bit. And now I looked
at the wheels that they were totally smooth. Wall. I'm
gonna have to change out all the wheels, probably the belt,
or probably buy a new mower so I started looking
just last night. Ron just last night was looking at
some Ego battery mowers. Yeah, and sixty five minute cutting time,
(37:38):
which is takes me about an hour to do my air.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
So it's close, close and.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Self propelled. I don't know. And I said to Sue,
I said, oh, look, they know that battery thing which
runs on GPS and some of the brands rather than
the old steaks and the wires and all that, which
I know. Gosh, twelve years ago we probably did a
TV show on them when they first came out. Toro
had one. Yeah, but they've gotten a little more refined,
(38:06):
a little better, and but still I don't know.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
Well, I just thought that mud.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
Say, I love cutting the grass anymore, but.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
Keep it, you know, Yes, sir, where do the go there?
I am keep this in mind in case you would
decide to get one. Now they're having some problems with
robotic lawnmowers and nighttime collisions with hedgehogs in Germany.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
Whose fault is it? Is it the hedgehog or the mower?
Speaker 1 (38:37):
Well, hedgehogs are out at night. Yeah, people are running
these robotic mowers at nighttime, right, and so it's running
over the hedgehogs.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Maybe, oh, mating season.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
And they said it's become such a such a happening
more often, very serious thing that they're now looking at.
You can't run your lawnmower. You're automated lawnmower at nighttime
and trying to come up with better ways to detect
because you know, it hits stuff and bumps away and
all that, trying to detect better that it is a hedgehog.
And I guess, you know, hedgehogs are really little, and
(39:12):
so I guess I thought you'd be interest.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
Some kinds of problems, don't we.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
Yeah, so there you go. So you know, if you're
thinking about having one and you have hedgehogs in your.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
Yard, I shouldn't do it.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
I would stay away from it, or just make sure
you use it.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
Really, I really, really really thought you were going to
tell me they had something to do with mating season.
I really know. And then when you told me that,
I thought, well, what about skunks because we're about you know,
love is in the air on the Valentine's Day and
we start smelling skunks in our area. Yeah, wonder how
that gets along with motor you.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Know, do they run away or do they stop and
say turn around and say let us spray.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Yes. I don't know. Like I said, we got all
kinds of problems things to worry about.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
Ron I know, well, I just saw I throw it
because I you know, if you were.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
I don't see it as a purchase in my near future.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
But it is.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
But I don't I don't think.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
That there's a guy down the street from us. It's
got he must have three acres, he's got two of them,
run there all the time. Yeah, you see him, see
him on the sidewalk, and then you see him way
down up on the hillside.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
And I'm saying, it's not a bad idea. I just
don't know if I want to, I don't.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
I wouldn't move around with them. Want to moment myself.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
In an hour, I can go out and walk it
and be done.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
I mow it myself. There you go. So were we
impressed with the appliances to match the mocha?
Speaker 2 (40:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Like as soon as I saw all that, I said, Oh,
yeah's love this one.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
Oh you know this, this whole thing is you know,
the color of the year. As you and I talked,
and we've talked about this for twenty five years. Yep,
you know, we would look forward to what the color
we'd banner, whether we liked it or not, And then
we're getting into then they were like men different lashes,
the color of the year, and appliances that make plants,
Oh my god, plants and yeah, what plant goes with it?
And it's like, oh my gosh, it's all over the
(41:02):
place now.
Speaker 1 (41:03):
So now it's the wall coverings and stuff to match
the color of the wall.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
Yeah. Well, here's what I read this week. This This
was funny that headlines were the avocado bathroom makes a
big comeback new trend, the avocatta bathroom. And I went,
you know who says? Yeah, who says this? Because maybe
it will be. I've certainly been wrong many times. I'm
(41:30):
looking at you like, I don't see that happening.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
I just don't see that either.
Speaker 2 (41:35):
Avocatto's not a real maybe like a misty forest green
or something. No, I don't see it, dusty tweed.
Speaker 1 (41:45):
I'm pretty sure my mom had an avocado refrigerator.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
Oh yeah, well harvest golden avocado probably what sixties seventies.
I mean, I just don't see it making a comeback
right now. Blues reds. I could see that.
Speaker 1 (41:59):
Yeah, more so black black.
Speaker 2 (42:01):
Yeah, sure there's black out there now. But when I
read that, I well, like you ever read things and
you go like, who.
Speaker 1 (42:07):
Says, yeah, who determined that?
Speaker 2 (42:10):
Who says that's a big trend? Maybe they sold to
this year instead of you know, the year before is one?
Speaker 1 (42:16):
Well you talked about it. We're selling a lot more
of well, what's a lot more of based on one
last year? And they have acado bathroom new trend, new tread. Yes,
So what are we gonna talk about today?
Speaker 2 (42:31):
Oh, we're gonna still talk a lot about insulation and
also clean up and also getting up in your attic
and see what's going on. In other words, you got
enough insulation up there? Have there been animals up there?
So you know, not all of us can just jump
up into the attic yours truly, but get somebody up
there and take a look at what's going on.
Speaker 1 (42:49):
And now's better than in the summertime as far as
I'm concerned, rather be cold. Absolutely my rear end off.
And then you bet you Thank you, Gary saliv all right, buddy,
have a great show, you too. His website's Gerrie Sullivan
online dot com. Thanks all of our colors today thanks
to our sponsors, thanks of course, of Danny Gleeson fighting
through the flu, staying on his side of the studios
so it doesn't spread it to everybody else. We appreciate
(43:11):
it all you do, Danny, to make this show happen. Always,
always pleasure having you here. Now, do yourself a favor.
Where you gonna plant a tree or two or three,
where you gonna plant those data plants. You're gonna be
pollinator friendly this year. Get the worms pampered, get the
kids and dogs involved garden and make it the best
weekend of your life.
Speaker 2 (43:25):
See yuh.
Speaker 4 (43:31):
Landscaping ladies here with your personal yard boy. He's hitting
the garden and he's Ron Wilson.
Our toll free number eight hundred eight two three eight
two five five. Good morning. I am Ron Wilson. I
am your firstly yard boy. We're all talking about yard ning,
kicking this month of January out of here. Next week February,
next weekend, February rolls in. We got four weeks there
and we're into March. We're back in the spring. Now.
If you're down south office, he's gonna be there a
little bit quicker maybe just talking with Gary Bachman, our
(01:03):
southern gardener. We just got rid of eight and a
half inches of snow five miles north of the Gulf
in Mississippi, So you never know what's gonna happen, but
under whatever normal would be circumstances, they're going to be
getting started here in another few weeks as well in
their yards and gardens. And of course he gets the
early start because he does all container gardening, earth boxes,
(01:24):
five gallon buckets, you name it. He grows in it
and sent me pictures this week of his backyard and
it's all those things are piled up with eight inches
of snow. He has been down there for years and
years and years with Mississippi State and just you know,
been a weather horticulturists and professors at all and never
(01:45):
ever experienced that before, although he is as a child
from Michigan, so he remembers what it was like way
back when. Hey, I want to put a shout out
to Larry Sunderman. Larry has been a listener of our
show for many, many, many years. He travels around the country,
has lived in in all different parts of the areas,
but always checking out our show, whether it's streaming online,
down only the downloaded, the iHeart app, listening to it
(02:06):
through the app, whatever it may be. But he stays
in touch with our show on a regular basis and
emails lets me know what they're doing. When he was
in I think he was in Texas.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
For a while.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Now he's out in central Oregon, been out there for
some time. We were talking last week about the glowing
logs in the wood and he said, you know what's
funny is back in the fifties he was a boy
scout and camping in Michigan and he said, I we
saw log that actually was going in the dark. He
broke off a piece, took it home, kept it, got
it wet, put it in a closet, and actually growed
(02:37):
this would glow for he said several months. He said
he was amazed. Anyway, he still growing peppers and tomatoes
in his greenhouse, plus herbs during the wintertime. So you know,
he's always sending pictures of what was growing on in
his small greenhouse, and he grew all kinds of great
things during the wintertime no matter where he was living.
So Larry, always a pleasure hearing from you, and a
(03:00):
pleasure hearing from anybody out there that listens to our
show on a regular basis. There's a lot of them
that you folks that email me keep me up to
day with what you're doing year after year. We get
to see what's happening and what you're doing out there too,
so we appreciate that very very much, and of course
we appreciate your calls as well. Don't forget our website.
It's Ron Wilson Online dot com. Plan of the Week.
This week, I've been focusing on trees because it's so
(03:22):
important to get out there and plant trees, and I've
been trying to pick trees that are really good trees
really obviously, but something a little bit different, maybe that
you haven't seen as much out there. That you might
want to incorporate into your landscape. And you can scroll
back through our website and see the different ones we've chosen.
Last week was paperbark maple. This week, if you look
(03:44):
at both of the tip sheets for paperbark maple and
for our tree, this week was his Persian ironwood parodia.
If you look at the pictures, they are very similar
in what they do. Two medium size, specimen type trees,
small ornamental trees that are absolutely gorgeous. Again, you don't
see a lot of them out there. They're available, but
(04:06):
these are two trees that I guarantee you if you
have them in your yard or garden or patio planting
or whatever it may be. Whoever comes to your house
going with, they're gonna want to know what it is
because they're so spectacular. They give you you season round
interest with their bark colors, exfoliating bark, fall colors, good
dark green in the summer, small flowers on boat not
too noticeable. The tree itself is gorgeous, the way they're shaped,
(04:31):
just something for you year round. But again, this week's
is called parodia or persian ironwood. Be sure and check
that out. Rita's recipe is a garlic palm bites from Rita.
That's a garlic chicken that you can make just in
time for that big game coming up in a couple
of weeks and enjoy those for a halftime snack or
whatever it may be. The big game, the big game.
(04:52):
I'm not allowed to say that, right Are you allowed
to say that? They might allowed to say that. You
can say the big game, but not what the game is.
Not what it is now. I can say National championship game,
we're Ohio State one, but I can't say what the
big game is coming up in a couple weeks. Anyway,
talking about yardening, a few things here I wanted to
(05:12):
hit real quick. One is as we start to approach
our growing season again, no matter where you live, right,
no matter where you live, how important it is to
know first of all what zone you have your growing zone.
And I was listening to some folks talking about this
the other day, and sometimes it gets a little confusing.
You know, what exactly is our growing zone? And if
you look USDA as a map, and if you just
(05:36):
type in Google growing zone, planting zone, and you'll see
this map come up, and it's all divided up into
these different zones. We were talking to Gary Bachman in
Mississippi this morning and he's in a nine to A.
Where we are located, we are in the zone six
got A and B, and we're seeing a little bit
of seven right at the southern part of Ohio along
(05:58):
the Ohio River and at the very top along the
lake up Top as well. A little bit of zone
seven is starting to creep in as things continue to
warm up. But anyway, know what planting zone you're in.
What does that tell you? Well, if you look at
the hardy and non hardy plants that you purchase at
your local independent garden center, they'll have plant hardiness zones
(06:20):
on there. So for us in a zone six, all right,
we'll take that for instance, we're looking for plants that
if we want them to come back every year, hardy plants.
We want plants to say zone hardy to zone six
or hardy to zone five four to three. If they're
hardy zone six five four to three, you know they're
they're they're pretty tough for our area. And if it
(06:42):
says zone seven, you're on a hardiness borderline. And those
zones are based on average coldest winter temperatures. Has nothing
to do with the frost, nothing to do with with
the summertime heat, you know, anything like that. Although you
can start to have characteristics of each particular zone, but
(07:05):
it's strictly based on your hearty. Winter hardiness is what
it boils down to, how hardy is that plant through
our winter, And it's depending on again where that where
you know, what zone you're in. And then the average
coldest winter temperatures for us, I think it's minus between
minus five and minus ten. So when we got down
(07:25):
into single digits last week, we're still within our zone ranges,
you know, as far as the plants that being hardy
for the area. So as long as they are Zone
six and they are, we're very healthy going into the winter.
We're watered well in the fall, planted in the right location,
all of that stuff to keep it healthy and nice,
should make it through the winter without any issues. If
(07:48):
the plant, even though it's a Zone six suffering didn't
get watered well. We saw that with some of the
evergreens a couple of years ago. Without sudden dropping temperatures,
those can affect the overall heartiness of the plant as well.
But it's you know, it's but the the the plant
should make it through those particular temperature zones. So that's
(08:08):
all that thing is. Now you can give you general
characteristics of what also what your temperatures like. You know
this is own six. Well, we usually have this kind
of a summer, usually have this kind of a whatever.
If you want to know when your first frost, you know,
your your first frost in the fall typically is average,
or when your last average frost is in the springtime
for planting tender annuals, you know, you have to go
(08:32):
to other maps, uh, and and and and the best
thing to do is just put in again if you
if you Google, just put in their first frost or
you know, last frost, frost free dates, frost free dates.
And what that'll do is that'll give you They used
to just use a if you had a frost free
date for your area, and ours used to be May fifteenth, Right,
(08:53):
What that that meant was at May fifteenth, your chances
of having a frost from that point forward were fifty
percent or less based on past averages. All Right, You're
looking at past dates of when it was frosting, and
as we have continued to warm over the years, that
frost free date in the springtime has gotten closer and closer,
and now we're at the beginning of May late April.
(09:15):
That's at the fifty percent chance. If you're looking for
ninety percent chances, so you're not going to get frost,
then it could be May fifteenth. So now they're doing
these charts where it says you're you know, if you're
you get a ten percent chance, twenty percent chance, fifty
percent chance, ninety percent chance. They give you all these
different dates, and you would use those based on the
(09:37):
how tender the annuals are that you're planting, like cool
crops can take those thirty forty degree temperatures, whereas the
tomatoes and peppers can. So point being is this planting
zone where zone six is based on winter coldest average temperatures,
how hardy will the plant be coming through the winter
frost free dates, whether it be in the spring time,
(10:00):
and of course your first frost and fall is based
on where you are, and again it's characteristics within that zone.
But put in your zip code or your city or
state or city, and then it could tell you more
specific in your area. And then of course your micro
climate within your own herd will determine that the frost
amounts as well. Living out in the country, living in
(10:20):
the town blah blah blah can make it the chase.
But those are different things, and they don't you know. Again,
the zone will give you general characteristics, but you've got
to look at the specifics as far as frost free
dates and winter hardiness states zones. They're not the same thing, right.
I hope I didn't confuse you there, But you got
to look at both of them, not just the zone six.
(10:42):
And this is where we are. It changes depending on
what your zip code, and that information is so readily available.
As a matter of fact, I found a chart somebody
was asking about when the plant seeds for a lot
of the tomatoes and peppers and things like that, and
you base that on your average frost free date. That's
when you would go out and play those and you
count back how long it takes for the cas of
(11:02):

Talking your aready get eight hundred and eight two three
eight two five five. You know, we're talking about this hardiness,
plant zones and then of course the frost free dates
in your particular area. Two different things there. But we
picked up a new station for our Gardening Network out
in Eugene, Oregon a couple of weeks ago, kug N
five ninety News Talk five ninety out of Eugene, Oregon,
(16:24):
and I was doing some research and they're they're zone eight,
so they're kind of like Flora Georgia zones there. But
if you talk about confusing the state of Oregon has
I think ten or eleven different. They have all the
planting zones from because the mountains and the ocean, and
(16:46):
in inland and the old They go everywhere from minus
twenty nine degree the the minus twenty for their hearty
in the zone five A all the way up to
ten eight crazy. So yeah, you got to really look
to see you and check everything out where you're planting
if you live in the state of Oregon, because they're
all over the bord as far as the herding the zones.
(17:09):
Back to the Cincinnati we go gardening phone Susie, good morning.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Hello, I have.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
Last year. I started from sieves, first time ever, and
I grew them. I love them. I had light and
water and everything, and I grew twelve different herbs and
three different types of tomatoes. And I transplanted everything when
it was free to do so, and put them in
containers on a patio. The herbs I got three of
(17:41):
them out of that, and the tomatoes they flourished, they
grew like wild things. And I didn't get a single
tomato out of any of them.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Wow, I was mad. Yeah, I would be too, sad.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
They didn't get pollinated.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Well you know, well, you know what what's interesting? Did?
Let me ask you this? First of all, Let's go
just go to the tomatoes. Did they flower at all?
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Yes, they were tons of flowers.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
All right, So your neighbor was right that they didn't
get pollinated. But here's the deal. Tomatoes can be pollinated,
whether it be through insect or wind or vibration. So
when tomatoes are grown inside a greenhouse, they actually go
through and shake the vines, so if the pollen falls
out and falls onto the flowers below, or they have
slight breezes, or sometimes they bring in boxed bumblebees to
(18:40):
go through and pollinate. So there that is a possibility.
But the other thing is tomatoes are so darn pickie
that when the temperatures are too cold at night or
too hot during the day, that the fruit won't set either.
So your your neighbor was right if you had a
bunch of flowers on there, but she got no fruit whatsoever.
(19:00):
Obviously the pollen was not setting, and you weren't getting
good fruit set. If you try that again and you're
still not seeing. And they were in full sun right.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
Oh most of the time.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Yet Okay, and again tomatoes need I have pulled it
off in a four hour direct sun. My mom has
the container ones and the tree there gives them probably
about three or four direct hours of sun and then
good bright light the rest of the day, and she
does pretty good job. Cherry tomatoes especially, get a lot
(19:31):
of them on there, but again full sun, as much
sun as possible. And if they if this happens again
next year and you're getting the flowers but you're not
getting any fruit set, there is a product it's called
blossom set, and it helps the pollen to stick on
to those flowers. So a lot of times when we
get a situation where the heat's not right, you know,
(19:53):
it's too hot too cool, can get them to set.
Sometimes that blossom set can work out for you quite nicely.
Keep listen thing, I'll address the herbs as we come
after the break for you as well. Try to come
up with some matches for you there too. Eight hundred
eight two three eight two five five. That's our number
here in the garden with Ron Wilson, Green thumb or not.

it's Gary Salivan for Roto Router plumbing and water cleanup,
a company that has been trusted and recommended for generations
coast to coast. Roto Router fixes clogged drains, leaky faucets
(21:28):
and running toilets. They repair and replace water heaters, garbage disposals,
some pumps, water softeners, and every other residential a commercial

you should leave plumbing to the pros too. Call one
eight hundred get Roto or go to Rotrouter dot com today.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
We're talking to you ard and you get eight hundred
eight two three eight two five five. Don't forget our website.
Roan Wilson online dot com talking there before growing things
and containers that growing from seed, got the plants planting
them and really no production. And I look at that.
You kind of have to walk your way through and
again encourage her. If this comes up again this year,
(22:46):
take pictures, email them to me. You will try to
walk you through a tomatoes. The thing about tomatoes, I
never plan them in any me personally. Now A lot
of folks will do them in a five gallon bucket.
That'd be the smallest thing I would use for growing
indetermined to tomatoes. Determined sometimes could take a little smaller one,
but I use twenty gallon pots. Twenty gallon pot. Sometimes
I'll put basil in the bottom, but otherwise it's one
(23:08):
tomato plant and a twenty gallon pot. So I give
it as much of a root system as I can,
so you don't have to water quite as often, and
it likes a good established root system in that soil.
I usually will sprinkle in some osma coat, which is
a real slow release fertilizer. Doesn't give it all at
one time, slow release feedsure kind of throughout the season
does an overfeed. And then I will also work in
(23:31):
at the top a little bit in the soil, but
at the top I will put it in kind of
scratch it in and then watered in. I use Aspoma's
Tomato Tone. It's a great all purpose, all natural fertilizer
for tomatoes. And it has calcium, and it's very very
important because potting soil does not have calcium in it.
You'll get blossom in rod every time, so you got
(23:53):
to add a little bit of calcium in there. And
then of course, watering very important. They don't like to
you know, in consistency is of watering, so you'll soak
them well, close to dry, soak them well, close to dry,
soak them well. But consistent even watering very very important.
Don't overfeed. If you use a fertilizer that's high in nitrogen,
they'll grow like a weed. You'll get tomatoes that grow
(24:13):
like crazy, even set a few flowers, but they rarely
set the fruit because they're concentrating on growing rather than fruiting.
So watch that you don't overfeed. And that's why I
like that Aspoma's a tomato tone combined with the osma
coat kind of a slow feed lower numbers, just does
(24:33):
a great job for you. So keep that in mind.
Don't overfeed. Make sure you have a good consistent watering,
large enough container to support it, and then you know,
tomatoes and peppers of two and other plants as well
can follow as cat They're very picky as far as
proper fruit set depending on the temperatures. Naytime temperatures drop down,
(24:54):
they won't set fruit. Daytime temperatures get above eighty two
eighty five degrees, they won't set fruit. So temperatures will
cause that, high humidity will cause that to not happen.
I mean, it does occur that way, So that can
be a little bit picky, so be cautious about that
as well. Nothing much you can do about it besides
trying to use blossom sets. So if you've got a
(25:15):
lot of flowers but you're not getting fruit, you know
you waited, you wait waited, try the blossom set. It
may you spray the flower of the flowers with it,
and it may help you to set some fruit. If
I don't know what kind of tomatoes you were growing,
but I've always told folks, if you don't have any
success growing tomatoes and containers and you're doing all that
right stuff, try doing cherry tomatoes first. I swear to you,
(25:37):
cherry tomatoes are the easiest things to grow in containers
or in the ground. Of all the tomatoes, do them first,
and you know, do some of the indeterminates to get
tall and viiny, and do a couple determinants that stay smaller,
smaller fruit, smaller plant. See if see if you can
get those to go first and then expand from there.
(25:58):
So there's some suggestions for the tomatoes. As far as
the herbs, herbs usually do fairly well in containers, and
again overfeeding can be a real issue. Herbs are not
high feeders. A little bit of osma code at the
beginning of the season, a little bit of a garden
tone from a spowma or whatever sprinkled in, that's all
you need. They're good to go. I have grown them
(26:19):
in containers and never put anything in there and they
just do great. So don't overfeed them. Again. Watering for
the herbs, I do a little bit more of a
close to drying out then, so come close to drying out.
And again sunlight. They would like to have four to
five hours of sun minimum, and the tomatoes, of course
would be five hours six hours. But I have pulled
(26:40):
it off in an area where it got only four
hours of direct sun bright the rest of the time,
not as many tomatoes, but I have had that work
for you as well. So again, if you get into
situation still not doing well, get some pictures to me,
get in touch with me, and I'll try to help
you out as much as I can. A couple other
things real quick, I was gonna have Monica Brubaker on
today wild Birds Unlimited. We're gonna talk about feeding the
(27:02):
birds this time of the year. She's got the flu
and we had to cancel out this morning. But one
thing that came up that I thought was interesting. Somebody
was talking about thistle and thistle and the misconception there
putting thistle seed in a bird feeder causes the thistle
to come up in your landscape beds and your lawn
and things like that. Canada thistle and some of the
(27:23):
other thistles as well. Well, that's not true. The thistle
that is sold through bird feeders for birds is actually
not from the United States at all. I think it's
from Africa somewhere. But it's nyger ny g e er
nyger this and it's commonly called thistle, and it's like thistle,
(27:44):
it's a little bit more meaty, but thistle eaters love
it commonly known as thistle, And if I'm not mistaken,
it's not hardy here, can't grow here, and I think
they treat that microwaving it. I believe, not treated with
chemicals the microwave, but I believe to make sure that
it doesn't grow in our area so it's not invasive.
(28:04):
So if you're using thistle seed from a bird feed source,
that's not the same thistle that you would see the
seeds blowing around from the thistle seed heads like the
Canada thistle and things like that. Totally different products. And
if you're having issues with the milo and stuff coming
up in your yard or in your landscape bed, expect
that to happen obviously, because a lot of it falls down.
(28:26):
If you buy the cheaper bird feed, they're going to
kick a lot of that stuff out. That's what grows
very quickly down at the base. You can use a
more expensive feed which has less junk seeds in there,
the less they throw out and the fewer weed seeds
that you see coming up as well. But again remember
(28:46):
that thistle is not the thistle seed that's growing on
the seed heads that you see thistle growing wild along
expressways and things like that. That's not it. It's actually
imported from another country. But it's called nysure, or commonly
known as thistle for bird feed. Annie in Westchester, good morning.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Good morning, Ron, I have a tomato question. Yes, in
the cold ice, I have grown tomatoes and containers for
many years, and I usually always plant at least three
early girl bush tomatoes.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Uh huh.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
And this year they were great. In July. I got
my first one shortly after the first fourth of July. Well,
then by the time I got to August, the fruit
would not ripen. It would just turn gray on the vine.
And I've never had that before.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Interesting, And it was that the plant looked good, plants
looked great.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
All my other plants were continuing to ripe, and I
had better bush, and then quite a few cherries and
a couple of heirlooms, and everything else was fine. It
was just the three early girls they would not ripen.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Interesting. And again, I'm trying to think later in the season.
It was pretty warm at that point, sometimes, you know,
so again, temperature can affect the ripening of those tomatoes
as well, and they could could get to a point
where they just stop and they don't do anything else.
And I've actually had people or might do it myself,
pick them off of there, take them inside, put them
on a window sill, and they wind up ripening under
(30:17):
under yeah, cooler conditions. I don't know. Did you try
that with any of those?
Speaker 3 (30:21):
I did, and they were fine inside, and we actually
ate quite a few green fried tomatoes.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Yeah, yeah, But I was just.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Wondering if there was I don't know, if something last
year was just different. Maybe it was too hot, because
boy was it hot.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Yeah, it was hot, and that could be what had
affected just and being that was just the three early
girls and they were in separate containers, that's what I
started to look at and say it had to be,
you know, like a weather can related condition something like
that versus anything else. And if you picked a few
and brought them inside and they ripen, more than likely
that was the issue. Okay, all right, any good talking
(30:56):
with you.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
All right, appreciate you call. Oh, I appreciate listening to

Ladies and Gentlemen, the One, the Only Mister Gary Solomon. Oh,
(33:40):
I'm so excited to be here. Why he thought he
was just talking to me?
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Still not you still talking to him? I didn't even
know I was in the air. But anyway, aggresses green Ron.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Yeah, well it was white a couple of days ago.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
It's been white for about two weeks, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Yeah, it's what happened. It's green now. Well, thank goodness,
it's going away now. It's just the dirty stuff, yeah,
on the edges of the sod streets in that. But
I think after tomorrow most of that should be gone.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Too, and it should be clean up weekend clean up weekend.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
He says, yes, sir, so any leftover salt or with
the ice or that's left on this.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Munch of that. Did you have you noticed how much
salt just and I'm just talking about on the roadways. Yeah,
just laying at Ceturn Lane or something. You can just
see this just looks like sand. Yeah, and you know
your garage floor looks the same. I would recommend you
kind of get that all.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Sweep that up, don't you load it off? Just sweep
it up, put it back in the can ye use
it again, Use it again. You are a Cincinnati chili lover, Yes, sir,
it doesn't matter which one. But did you see the
new ice cream? And I know you're a big ice
cream eter.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
I did see that, oddly enough, we were just talking
about that. Yeah. Yeah, well you're the one that loves
to try new stuff.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Skyline ice cream. Yeah, with crackers in it.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Yeah, that's the part that intrigues me. So no, I
haven't try to.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
I'm looking at a picture of it, and uh, there
are chunks of little pieces of crackers in there.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
Really, that's amazing. You think they get soggy? Yeah, I know,
I guess I have to try something like everybody else run.
I guess they would go have you know, skyline and
then go have you know, a bowl of ice cream afterwards.
So he's probably something there. I just I can't visualize
what that would taste like.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Do you think that you would top that with cheddar cheese?
Speaker 2 (35:29):
No?
Speaker 1 (35:30):
I don't think so either.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
I think maybe you could use a little bit of
chocolate syrup, chocolate and together chocolate and chili.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Anyway, Yeah, they do that, So they say they do that.
You can bite you know, you can buy chocolate with
the peppers in it. Yeah, so yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
I don't know. You're the one that's our experimental taster.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
I was going to send it to your house.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Well, no, you're the you know Jalipino man.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Okay, did you try the chicken big Mac? Yeah? You
try that either, I did. Is it still too much chicken?
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
How much chicken?
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (36:09):
What is it real thick or something?
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Yeah? Well it was to those chicken patties on there,
it was I don't know a lot of chicken. My
taste buds weren't handling it because they were tasting the
Big Max sauce and then they were tasting chicken chicken, Like,
wait a second, this isn't right. Yeah, I can't do this,
can't do that. I should have tried a second one though,
just to be short, you know, it's all about easy
when it comes to mister Gary Sullivan. And I'm surprised
(36:30):
that you haven't gotten one of those automated robot lawnmowers yet.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
How do you know?
Speaker 1 (36:34):
I don't, well, you don't. And I know that you
like to mow your grass. That's why. Okay, do you
have one? Because the last time I asked you that,
you said no, Why would I want one? I like
to mow my grass.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Yeah, well I don't like it that much. I mean
it'd be nice mower right now too. You like this
during leaf season the last mowing, I'm like, godly gosh,
this mare is really hard to push the grounds probably
at that and I looked and I kind of lifted
it up a little bit. My self propelled was like one.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
It was not self propelling, not.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Very well, maybe a little bit. And now I looked
at the wheels that they were totally smooth. Wall. I'm
gonna have to change out all the wheels, probably the belt,
or probably buy a new mower so I started looking
just last night. Ron just last night was looking at
some Ego battery mowers. Yeah, and sixty five minute cutting time,
(37:38):
which is takes me about an hour to do my air.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
So it's close, close and.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Self propelled. I don't know. And I said to Sue,
I said, oh, look, they know that battery thing which
runs on GPS and some of the brands rather than
the old steaks and the wires and all that, which
I know. Gosh, twelve years ago we probably did a
TV show on them when they first came out. Toro
had one. Yeah, but they've gotten a little more refined,
(38:06):
a little better, and but still I don't know.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
Well, I just thought that mud.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
Say, I love cutting the grass anymore, but.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
Keep it, you know, Yes, sir, where do the go there?
I am keep this in mind in case you would
decide to get one. Now they're having some problems with
robotic lawnmowers and nighttime collisions with hedgehogs in Germany.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
Whose fault is it? Is it the hedgehog or the mower?
Speaker 1 (38:37):
Well, hedgehogs are out at night. Yeah, people are running
these robotic mowers at nighttime, right, and so it's running
over the hedgehogs.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Maybe, oh, mating season.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
And they said it's become such a such a happening
more often, very serious thing that they're now looking at.
You can't run your lawnmower. You're automated lawnmower at nighttime
and trying to come up with better ways to detect
because you know, it hits stuff and bumps away and
all that, trying to detect better that it is a hedgehog.
And I guess, you know, hedgehogs are really little, and
(39:12):
so I guess I thought you'd be interest.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
Some kinds of problems, don't we.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
Yeah, so there you go. So you know, if you're
thinking about having one and you have hedgehogs in your.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
Yard, I shouldn't do it.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
I would stay away from it, or just make sure
you use it.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
Really, I really, really really thought you were going to
tell me they had something to do with mating season.
I really know. And then when you told me that,
I thought, well, what about skunks because we're about you know,
love is in the air on the Valentine's Day and
we start smelling skunks in our area. Yeah, wonder how
that gets along with motor you.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Know, do they run away or do they stop and
say turn around and say let us spray.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Yes. I don't know. Like I said, we got all
kinds of problems things to worry about.
Speaker 1 (39:56):

Speaker 1 (40:04):
But it is.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
But I don't I don't think.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
That there's a guy down the street from us. It's
got he must have three acres, he's got two of them,
run there all the time. Yeah, you see him, see
him on the sidewalk, and then you see him way
down up on the hillside.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
And I'm saying, it's not a bad idea. I just
don't know if I want to, I don't.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
I wouldn't move around with them. Want to moment myself.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
In an hour, I can go out and walk it
and be done.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
I mow it myself. There you go. So were we
impressed with the appliances to match the mocha?
Speaker 2 (40:36):

the color of the year. As you and I talked,
and we've talked about this for twenty five years. Yep,

we'd banner, whether we liked it or not, And then
we're getting into then they were like men different lashes,
the color of the year, and appliances that make plants,

it will be. I've certainly been wrong many times. I'm
(41:30):

Speaker 1 (41:33):

Speaker 2 (41:35):
Avocatto's not a real maybe like a misty forest green
or something. No, I don't see it, dusty tweed.
Speaker 1 (41:45):
I'm pretty sure my mom had an avocado refrigerator.
Speaker 2 (41:48):

enough insulation up there? Have there been animals up there?
So you know, not all of us can just jump
up into the attic yours truly, but get somebody up
there and take a look at what's going on.
