how is this bird flu affecting the wild birds that
(05:41):
are out there?
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
And what we should be doing obviously in our bird
feeders and all is we start to transition into the
spring season. And we're gonna take a look at a
new book called The Water Smart Garden. It's really well
written about ways I mean, we're starting to go through
like last fall was a drought, you know, through the
fall season, better ways to your gardening using plants that
(06:03):
you know require less water or adding more whatever nice
tips she's gotten. It's a great book, and that's why
it's called the Water Smart Garden. So it's ways to
get around that you don't have to water quite as often.
Noel Johnson is their name, and she's going to join
us this morning, of course, you and me and Danny
Gary Sullivan. So no buggy Joe, No buggy Joe. Yet

So he's recovering from the workshop last week. I gotcha,
I gotcha. So the website is Ron Wilson online dot com,

By the way, i'd invited Barbie Bletcher to be on today.
(06:48):
You did. She's teaching at one of the many multiple
B classes that are out there. Reason being is, I
don't know if you've read that some of the headlines
out there, but there are some bees missing was missing
as far as disappeared, kind of like the old colony
collapse days way way back when. A little bit of
a shortage right now with the almond groves out in California,
(07:09):
and so they're not quite sure what's going on. And
it's been kind of a few headlines but not a
whole lot said about it so far. So we'll see.
I hope it's not back into some disease. Yeah that's issue. Yeah,
that'll be terrible. We know the road mites are still
an issue, but I don't know. So she has some information,
but I said, let's hold off another week.

I said, what, you want to sit here and watch
the birds in the backyard. We sat there for about
five minutes. There was one cardinal that flew up. Yeah,
so that'd be a great report. One one car Cardinal
put our zip code in there, so thanks. Yeah, it
was kind of snowing a little bit and whatever. Yeah,
(08:35):
so there weren't too many active at that point. Now,
I know it's a day late, but it's the annual.
What does the color of your rose means?

walked away with a funny look on their face, or
understand what or.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
If you don't know what it meant and you know,
like so some guy gave you something and you're like, oh,
that's very very sweet, and then it turns out, you know,
the color is like yeah, oh wait a minute.

you send him the wrong message.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Yeah yeah, so yeah, so the annual What color is
my rose? What does it mean?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
And Joe and I have played it safe for many
years when buying roses, we just get multiple colors. That way,
it's just a totally mixed up message exactly exactly. It's
the safe way.

steak from Rita.

Yes, carrots and potatoes and all kinds of stuff. And

(09:51):
Swiss steak or did you rather Swiss steak? It's like
in a tomato even more of a just a tomato
sauce and onions, not the carrots and potatoes.

Welcome back here in the Garden with Ron Wilson and
again that toll free number eight hundred eight two three
eight two five five talking about yarding and boy you
talk about a weather mix. Uh watching the weather last night.
And by the way, Joe, we we didn't say anything
and it's so we don't waste time. But anyway, I'm
in Columbus today, actually, so I was talking with Joe
via that I'm looking at Dan right now on the
(19:19):
computer screen, which I have to do when I'm in Cincinnati,
but from up in Columbus, Ohio, we're going to be
at the hom of Garden show here in Columbus, which,
by the way, if you've got hom of Garden shows
that are close to you, and they probably kick off
about right now, you know, I look at those as
kind of the spring opening day for the spring season,
and I can't wait to go to this one. And
you know, you walk in, smell the mulch and all
the flowering things and all that and whatever. But anyway,
(19:43):
in Columbus, and last night watching the Weather Channel just
a little bit to see what the weather's going to
be like in our state, and of course all around
us said, well what a duke's mix of weather, you know.
And we had Ron Rothason a couple of weeks ago
with the big throwdown with Ponks to Tony Phil and
Buckeye Chuck, and he he said he thought, you know,
he thought that, you know, you know, it would be
(20:05):
a spring was right, that was right there, not six
more weeks of winter. But he also through out there
that it's going to be a pretty wild up and down.
There's gonna be a week or a week and a
half or two weeks in that with some up and
down weather depending on how it comes out of the
north and all that. Well, it's happening, and I can't
believe how it's so different all around, especially through the Midwest.
(20:25):
We'll talk about that, we'll talk about Valentine's Day, we'll
talk about tips for you for this time of the year,
and of course we're taking your calls at eight hundred
eight two three eight two five five. It's all happening
here in the garden with Ron Wilson.
Speaker 6 (20:48):

Speaker 1 (22:49):
Welcome back. You're in the garden with Ron Wilson again
that toll free number eight hundred eight two three eight
two five five on the Saturday post Valentine's Day. And
the weather is just crazy. I mean, you know, Dan
and I were talking during the break there looking at
the weather channel and all, I mean, you look around
the Midwest, there's everything, and it's from tornadoes to thunderstorms,
to snow to flooding to you name it. It's all
(23:13):
over the place. And in our area it's just back
and forth depending on the time of the day. Morning,
we're gonna a little wintery mix and then rain, and
then back to the winter re mix and little snow,
a little more rain, crazy stuff. So you know, hopefully,
like I said earlier, if you've got a home of
garden show in your area, something, you get out and
kind of go do that. Otherwise kind of many have
to be hunkering down for the next couple of days
(23:33):
here to see what actually winds up coming through. I
feel bad for the folks. I'm looking at the front
coming through down in Kentucky, Northern Tennessee. Then I'll go
up through West Virginia and all major front Paduca, Bowling
Green and at four inches of rainfall they're expecting plus
in a day, that's a lot of rainfall. So we'll see.
(23:55):
That's a I love going down there. My uncle used
to have a cabin down there and Grand Rivers I
think it is, and this is the land between the
lakes and beautiful area. But I never realized how much
that area Paducah, Grand Rivers, in net and through Bowling Green.
A lot of these fronts that come through every year
always go dip down and go through that area. I
(24:16):
never realized that until I went down there saw the
lot of the tops of the trees bent over or
snapped off. Beautiful place, though, unbelieve if you ever a
chance to go there. I think if you're into quilting
and all of that, Paducah is like a capital of
that kind of stuff, but pretty neat lots of shops
and into the lakes are just phenomenal. The dam there
(24:36):
at all sailboating and they've got great restaurants and it's
good place. So there's my pitch for Grand Rivers, Kentucky,
Paducah land between the lakes and all you will totally
enjoy it. Talking about yarding at eight hundred eight two
three eight two five five. Don't forget our website at
Ron Wilson online dot com. It is post Valentine's Day
(24:58):
and that means yesterday was valentin Day. Of course, anybody
was selling flowers, candies, all kinds of Valentine's Day goodies
are probably picked over right now, but it's almost like
Christmas time for me. Sometimes I like going through where
I know they have a lot of plant selections the
day after thanks or after Valentine's Day and take a
(25:21):
look at what still remains because in many cases it's
on sale because they want to get rid of it
this weekend. And you can find some pretty nice indoor plants.
Now obviously cut flowers too, but indoor plants that you
can scarf up usually it at a little bit better price.
And you know, if you didn't get any yesterday things
that are a living that it will keep on giving.
(25:42):
You know, if you still get the orchids out there,
they still have the miniature roses. And as Joe mentioned
earlier and the Cup of Joe, the thing about that
most of those miniature roses is that they are very hardy,
typically through you know, zones five easily depending on the selection,
but in most cases they are. So if you get
a miniature flowing rose, potted growing flowering for Valentine's Day,
(26:07):
if you can keep that thing in a nice sunny window,
you know, through typical water dry out, water dry out.
I even like to take those and put them under
the sink and rinse them off about every ten days
to two weeks. They can get mites really quickly for
some reason in the house. But point being is if
you can get those to last for you until we
(26:29):
get into the weather, weather breaks in the springtime. You
can then take those miniature roses outside, plant them in containers,
grow them in a container all summer. They keep flowering
all summer long. I mean, they're very good at that.
Small flowers, and you just sometimes they kind of clean themselves,
but just go through with a small pair of like
you dram pruiting scissors and just clip those off every
(26:51):
now and then and they will continue to flower for
you all summer long. And like I said, many of
the selections are actually hearty for our zones. So you
could actually take those and put them in the ground
if you'd like to, and grow them along with your
other plants, perennials, whatever it may be in you in
your flower beds, So you can do them in containers,
do them in the flower beds whatever may be through
(27:13):
the growing season, and if you're in the ground, typically
are hardy enough to make it through the winter and
come back the following spring. Most of those are on
their own root stock, so that means they're not grafted,
so they'll you know if they're if that's the case,
and they do the tops because they're smaller branches. If
they do, you have a really severe winter and they
do brown and dive back a little bit. Typically you
(27:35):
cut them all back and they come right back up
again from the roots and you got a new plant,
kind of like the knockout roses do. And that was
one of the cool things about knockout was when it
first came out. Can you believe that's been I think
it's twenty or twenty five years this year that the
first knockout rose came under the market. I think twenty
five years that the first knockout came out of the market.
And look what knockout roses did for the rose for
(28:00):
roses coming back into the garden. I mean, at that point,
they had started to fade out. I remember back in
the seventies, everybody had roses, and a lot of people
had multiple roses, had two or three dozen, especially hybrid
t's and granded floors and the floor abundus and cutting
roses you know that, and just really you know, sprang
(28:20):
and taken care of them. Do it because it's a
lot of work. And of course the maintenance of those
started to become as the gardening started to change a
little bit. Didn't want to be that involved with things
like that that took so much time, rosarians became you know,
rose gardens and individual yards, but otherwise you didn't see
(28:40):
roses too much. Kind of started to fade out, and
the rose sales and local garden centers went from thousands
to just the hundreds in the you know, in the springtime,
and then you were done, and so you didn't see
too many. But then all of a sudden, ord was
out that and and I mean back up for a second.
In the seventies, there were a couple of shrub roses
(29:02):
that you could always count on. But you know, it
was like everybody always wanted the cutting rows, that was
the deal. But then we started that you started changing
the same. Wait a second, if these if these shrub
roses require less maintenance because they were self cleaning, pretty tough,
pretty durable, and flowered all summer long without a lot
of work, maybe that is an option we start to
(29:22):
look at. And there was like a new dawn, little
fairy I think it was one of them. Uh, there was.
And then some new ones came along and were kind
of interesting and they were showing good a little bit
of disease resistance and more flowering and started to sparking
a little bit of interest and then through the plant
(29:44):
breeding they came up with the knockout ros the original
one with that raspberry red, and I always want to
see raspberry red lemon yellow come from fruit loops. But anyway,
that when that was released, that was like the the
you know, one of the best things in sliced bread.
Because here is this rose. That's a shrub rose that
(30:05):
you know, typically you keep it three to four feet
high and wide, that basically flowers with no help whatsoever
throughout the entire summer. And you know, you can deadhead
it if you want to, but otherwise it was self cleaning,
very hardy, grown on its own rootstock. And knockout roses.
Say what you may about knockout and there are multiple
(30:26):
colors of knockouts on the market today, not just that one.
But you can say what you say about knockouts. But
they brought roses back into the landscape, especially using shrub roses,
landscape shrub roses, and now of course you see mass
plantings of them, drift planting of them, mixing them in
(30:46):
with your perennial gardens, things like that, and so many again,
so many great colors that are out there. I still
think the doubles were the best. The double red, the
double pink, I think still had the best colors. But
you know, now they've got everything from whites to yellows
to whatever in the knockout sea. But it actually was
the rose that brought the focus back on roses back
(31:07):
into the garden and in containers. Here was a rose
and we never thought about that, never thought about growing
roses and containers, and here was one that actually did
very well growing in a container. So you know, you
have to applaud knockout roses. And then from that point forward,
plant rose breeders started coming up with all kinds of
new selections. So look at the ones, the drift roses,
(31:28):
and the coral roses and the you know, all the
groundcover types and it's just phenomenal. But point being was,
and I got off on a little tangent theories that
if you find some of these miniature roses that are
still petite, by the way, knockout petite. They came out
a couple of years ago with small red flower that's
actually a cross between the knockout rose and a miniature rose.
(31:50):
So it has a great knockout dark green, glossy leaf,
good disease resistance, self cleaning for the most part, still
good at death had them and help themlong. It's a
little smaller rose that looks like a miniature rose covered
on those and they stay a little bit smaller and
really nice plants called petit knockout meat petit, and I
(32:11):
really like that one. But you know, that just is
an example that these are very hardy. You can win
limp them through if you got them for Valentine's Day,
or go out this weekend and see if you can
find a few out there for a good price. Limp
them through in the house because they've been greenhouse grown.
They're not, you know, hardened off to plant outside. The
weather's not right's got to wait till the weather changes
(32:32):
and we get warmed up that you can actually take
them back outside and you'll acclimate them for a week
and then plant them in and do whatever you're gonna do.
But just limp them through for the next month and
a half or so, and you get yourself some miniature
roses for a pretty good price. Orchids African violence for
inside the house, easy to take care of orchids. I
see lost cyclements and one of my favorite that I
(32:55):
love for an indoor plant that just tough, durable, the
flowers outstanding. It does flowers for you, just off and
on all the time. Is an theoreum and theorem. And
it looks like that red looks like a red heart
shaped flower. Actually it's a brack the flowers the yellow
stem that comes out the top of that. But it's
a it's a really cool one. But again, good chance
(33:17):
you might find those where they were selling Valentine's Day
flowers yesterday now trying to move them along and probably
at a little better price, So be sure and check
that out. I love going to kind of scarfing and now,
of course while you're there, you can always walk down
the Valentine's Day candy isle and see what's left there.
Rees's Valentine's hearts. Eight hundred, Yeah, you got it, eight
(33:40):
hundred eight two three eight two five five. That's our
number here in the garden with Ron Wilson.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
Good morning, Welcome back. You're in the garden with Ron
Wilson again. The toll free number is eight hundred eight
two three eight two five five. Talking about post Valti's
day cleanup, going down the candy cleaning up what's left
over because you know it's gonna be on sale. And
again the flower department, you know, and I hope they
got picked clean and everybody got flowers and took them butt.
You know, sometimes you go when you look at some
(36:11):
of these places and they've got some great potted plants
that you can add to your indoor collection, miniature roses
that you can do that for right now, take them
outside once the weather breaks, because they've been greenhouse forced,
so they're gonna be pretty tender. So they have to
wait for the weather to break, get past most of
those heavy frosts and freezes, and then you can get
those moved outside. But you can get some pretty good
(36:32):
prices on things like that, just like when I'm talking
about at Christmas time, you know, when it's past Christmas,
scarfing up those amberillas and paper white kits so that
you can have good color throughout the winter season with
the kits that you know, sometimes at half the price,
so you know, be sure and check that out. I
think you'll you'll find that there's some good prices there.
And hey, if they still have the cut flowers left over,
(36:54):
and there's you know, a couple three vases of cut
flowers throughout the house makes you feel great, There's no
doubt about it. Research has shown it, you know, how
much it makes it feel feel really good having that
bright color indoors. So and that's funny, you know, they
said the research started with the remember the one eight
hundred was it one eight hundred flowers? One hundred floors?
Way back when when they first started doing the you
(37:16):
could call and order flowers or someone anywhere in the
United States with one number. Wows that changed Now you
just get on your whatever and go. But they did
a lot of research back then, starting to trying to
boost the floor you know, industry knowing that you know
what how good these did for it, flowers did for you,
(37:37):
And the research that came out of that was phenomenal.
And then you're talking about cut flowers, indoor plants, plants,
and then took it from there and went to outdoor plants.
You know, and if you look at the research today,
cut flowers, house plants. Being able to look out a
window like at a hospital, you know, having flowers in
the room, how much that makes the patient feel better
(37:58):
having a window that looks out into the landscape. How
that makes patients feel so much better. They require typically
less pain medication, and they said in many cases they
actually start to heal faster because they've got that good view.
So you see a lot of newer hospitals now that
have the opportunity they try to face a lot of
those windows now out into the landscape, rooftop gardens where
(38:22):
they look you know, some of the building tops there
are different heights so that you look out onto the
rooftop gardens to be able to see that. And of
course more indoor plants, and of course the flowers as well.
Funerals were the same way, which I thought was kind
of interesting. Sending funeral flowers not only helped the folks
that were grieving, but it helped you feel better by
(38:43):
sending the flowers because you were grieving too, But it
helped you because you help them. So it was a
two way street there showing what it does to cut flowers,
to have like an assisted living nursing homes, things like that,
to pick up the seniors, and of course the house
plants with us students and clearing the air and making
you feel better indoors. I mean it's just the whole
(39:05):
nine yards how much plants influence us every day, and
it's just and it's scientific research proving that. So pretty cool.
I like that. So anyway, if you find extra cut
flowers that are really nice and still seem fairly fresh,
that would be a fun thing to do too. And
you can, you know, drop a few off on the
(39:26):
way home maybe to some folks that maybe didn't get
cut flowers for Valentine's Day, or maybe take a few
extra if you can get some smaller bouquets, go to
a close nearby assisted living senior community, whatever may be,
and drop those off and have them put them out
for the folks there to enjoy as well. By the way,
a good question came up yesterday talking about with the
(39:50):
cut flowers, you know, you get that packet of cut
flower present preserve that you sprinkle in the water when
you're putting your cut flowers in the vase. Does that
really work and is it really necessary? And that always
comes up at Christmas time With the cut trees, do
you need that cut tree product that they sell at
the garden centers or whatever to put in the water
(40:10):
to keep them fresher? Well? The key with cut flowers
or with a cut trees. And I've always said you
treat a cut Christmas tree like a vase of cut flowers.
Same way. Was that the key for the cut tree
was actually just the water. Don't let it dry up.
Fresh cut water, you got it made. But for cut flowers,
(40:31):
you want the fresh cut. You want the fresh water.
You never want to let foliage that's on the stem
be in the water. So the only thing that should
be down in the water in those vases should be
stems only. No foliage, all right, fresh cut right into
the water. And yes, you do want to use those preservatives.
(40:52):
As a matter of fact, if you look on the
and a lot of times they will layel them. Sometimes
they don't. But if you look on the label, what
they put in there is is some type of a
product that adds sugar which gives a little bit of
nourishment for the flower. There's usually some type of citric
acid something like that to adjust the pH of your
water to make it right for the plants, so that
(41:14):
helps to travel up the stem. They typically also have
an antibacterial agent in them to help prevent the growth
of bacteria and algae and fungus. Within the vase water.
So yeah, you do want to use those preservatives when
you are doing cut flowers. It does help in that
particular case. All right, before we take a break here,
I'm coming up. At the bottom of the hour, the
(41:35):
Wild Winged Wonder will join us Monica Brubaker from Wildbirds Unlimited.
We're gonna talk about the Great Backyard Bird Count and
of course what's going on right now. Is the weather
starting to change? Birds You're gonna start migrating soon. What
should we be doing in our backyards to take care
of those birds? Always great information. And then at the
top of the next hour, next segment, our book for
(41:56):
this weekend is The Water Smart Garden Techniques and Strategies
for Conserving, capturing, and efficiently using water in today's climate
and tomorrow's as well. It's great read and a lot

route this year. I did not get anything living. M
(03:13):
I feel kind of bad. But the cut flowers look nice.
But you know what, but I didn't get a miniature
rose or anything this year. Why is that?
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Because you know, I don't know if you caught this
and similar other shows, but Carol's now into she has
a plant stand. She's growing plants on her plant stand.

let's see, we're gonna have the Wild Winged wonder on.
She was sick a couple of weeks ago when she
was scheduled beyond hand the flu. So she's back. We're
going to talk about migrating birds starting to move back in. Uh,
how is this bird flu affecting the wild birds that
(05:41):
are out there?
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
And what we should be doing obviously in our bird
feeders and all is we start to transition into the
spring season. And we're gonna take a look at a
new book called The Water Smart Garden. It's really well
written about ways I mean, we're starting to go through
like last fall was a drought, you know, through the
fall season, better ways to your gardening using plants that
(06:03):
you know require less water or adding more whatever nice
tips she's gotten. It's a great book, and that's why
it's called the Water Smart Garden. So it's ways to
get around that you don't have to water quite as often.
Noel Johnson is their name, and she's going to join
us this morning, of course, you and me and Danny
Gary Sullivan. So no buggy Joe, No buggy Joe. Yet
(06:26):
he was all excited last week when he talked, he
was like, how soon you went? Said, Joe, you tell
me man, We're ready for you. Whatever you are, I'll talk.
So he's recovering from the workshop last week. I gotcha,
I gotcha. So the website is Ron Wilson online dot com,
along with the Facebook page in the Garden with Ron Wilson.
By the way, i'd invited Barbie Bletcher to be on today.
(06:48):
You did. She's teaching at one of the many multiple
B classes that are out there. Reason being is, I
don't know if you've read that some of the headlines
out there, but there are some bees missing was missing
as far as disappeared, kind of like the old colony
collapse days way way back when. A little bit of
a shortage right now with the almond groves out in California,
(07:09):
and so they're not quite sure what's going on. And
it's been kind of a few headlines but not a
whole lot said about it so far. So we'll see.
I hope it's not back into some disease. Yeah that's issue. Yeah,
that'll be terrible. We know the road mites are still
an issue, but I don't know. So she has some information,
but I said, let's hold off another week.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Be diarrhea and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Yeah, well she always breaks it up. She said, well
we'll talk about Joe's favorite b diarrhea. I just gnaws
me or knows me or something like that. It's just
it's just imagining that someone's in the you know, that's
not funny if you were a bee, it was not
one of.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
The bees in the hive.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
He's like run into the bathroom, like get out of
my way to get out of the hive. H me.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Uh, you know what time it is? What time is it?
It's tough for the Great Backyard Bird.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Count Yes, it is. It started yesterday the other day. Yeah. Yeah.
Valentine's Day runs through Monday.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
So if you want to be a part of it,
it's not too late to sign up. And the sign
up is on the website. Yeah you got the link
on there.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Yep. I was talking to my wife on Thursday. I said,
you know, the Great Great Backyard Bird Counts starts tomorrow.
I said, what, you want to sit here and watch
the birds in the backyard. We sat there for about
five minutes. There was one cardinal that flew up. Yeah,
so that'd be a great report. One one car Cardinal
put our zip code in there, so thanks. Yeah, it
was kind of snowing a little bit and whatever. Yeah,
(08:35):
so there weren't too many active at that point. Now,
I know it's a day late, but it's the annual.
What does the color of your rose means?
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
So if you want to know, so if you kind
of rose that you got, what color you got?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
If you gave roses away and that person kind of
walked away with a funny look on their face, or
understand what or.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
If you don't know what it meant and you know,
like so some guy gave you something and you're like, oh,
that's very very sweet, and then it turns out, you know,
the color is like yeah, oh wait a minute.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Now, now you understand why he's texting you every because
you send him the wrong message.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Yeah yeah, so yeah, so the annual What color is
my rose? What does it mean?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
And Joe and I have played it safe for many
years when buying roses, we just get multiple colors. That way,
it's just a totally mixed up message exactly exactly. It's
the safe way.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
The recipe of the week is yes of baked Swiss
steak from Rita.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Yes, carrots and potatoes and all kinds of stuff. And
with that, now, do you like that's kind of like
it's like stew in a in a stew in a
was it a It's like a thing, isn't it. I
don't know, you're just drawing. I'm drawing a blank hat.
I don't know, But do you like that kind of
(09:51):
Swiss steak or did you rather Swiss steak? It's like
in a tomato even more of a just a tomato
sauce and onions, not the carrots and potatoes.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I'm more like making like a pot risk kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Yeah, okay, yeah and the other way. Yeah, and without
all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
And it's weird.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
By the way, you and I were talking about that
pizza recipes she had last week. Yeah, that did have
the freshest tartar sauce. It did. Yeah, huh. I was
reading that and I went, well, wait a second, she
does mention fresh's tartar sauce in here, so well we
brought it up. Yeah we did. We did, remember when
she did that recipe, but there you go, well that
she put that in there, so uh, the we're surprised
(10:30):
by the super Bowl, by the way, was I surprised me?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I was surprised. Uh, actually, I was not that surprised.
I knew. I thought I had a feeling they were
going to blow them out. They're just a better team.
You could just see it. Oh yeah, And every time
something happened, man, it was just like.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Don't you feel that many many of the key players
may have had their heads somewhere else after all the
other things that they do.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
He yeah, they were They're trying to figure out. Did
you notice that all the State Farm commercials have changed?
Speaker 5 (11:02):

I didn't know. You know what I did? They did
not know.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
They totally changed the campaign to the w NBA. They
got all the w NBA players doing State Farm commercials
and the Super Bowl. I bet they had a whole
bunch of of ones in case they won but they lost.
You know that all got pulled so much for those Yeah, yeah,
but they still got paid. No, I did not notice it.

Welcome back here in the Garden with Ron Wilson and
again that toll free number eight hundred eight two three
eight two five five talking about yarding and boy you
talk about a weather mix. Uh watching the weather last night.
And by the way, Joe, we we didn't say anything
and it's so we don't waste time. But anyway, I'm
in Columbus today, actually, so I was talking with Joe
via that I'm looking at Dan right now on the
(19:19):
computer screen, which I have to do when I'm in Cincinnati,
but from up in Columbus, Ohio, we're going to be
at the hom of Garden show here in Columbus, which,
by the way, if you've got hom of Garden shows
that are close to you, and they probably kick off
about right now, you know, I look at those as
kind of the spring opening day for the spring season,
and I can't wait to go to this one. And
you know, you walk in, smell the mulch and all
the flowering things and all that and whatever. But anyway,
(19:43):
in Columbus, and last night watching the Weather Channel just
a little bit to see what the weather's going to
be like in our state, and of course all around
us said, well what a duke's mix of weather, you know.
And we had Ron Rothason a couple of weeks ago
with the big throwdown with Ponks to Tony Phil and
Buckeye Chuck, and he he said he thought, you know,
he thought that, you know, you know, it would be
(20:05):
a spring was right, that was right there, not six
more weeks of winter. But he also through out there
that it's going to be a pretty wild up and down.
There's gonna be a week or a week and a
half or two weeks in that with some up and
down weather depending on how it comes out of the
north and all that. Well, it's happening, and I can't
believe how it's so different all around, especially through the Midwest.
(20:25):
We'll talk about that, we'll talk about Valentine's Day, we'll
talk about tips for you for this time of the year,
and of course we're taking your calls at eight hundred
eight two three eight two five five. It's all happening
here in the garden with Ron Wilson.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
Landscaping made easier with your personal yard boy.
Speaker 4 (20:52):

Speaker 1 (22:49):
Welcome back. You're in the garden with Ron Wilson again
that toll free number eight hundred eight two three eight
two five five on the Saturday post Valentine's Day. And
the weather is just crazy. I mean, you know, Dan
and I were talking during the break there looking at
the weather channel and all, I mean, you look around
the Midwest, there's everything, and it's from tornadoes to thunderstorms,
to snow to flooding to you name it. It's all
(23:13):
over the place. And in our area it's just back
and forth depending on the time of the day. Morning,
we're gonna a little wintery mix and then rain, and
then back to the winter re mix and little snow,
a little more rain, crazy stuff. So you know, hopefully,
like I said earlier, if you've got a home of
garden show in your area, something, you get out and
kind of go do that. Otherwise kind of many have
to be hunkering down for the next couple of days
(23:33):
here to see what actually winds up coming through. I
feel bad for the folks. I'm looking at the front
coming through down in Kentucky, Northern Tennessee. Then I'll go
up through West Virginia and all major front Paduca, Bowling
Green and at four inches of rainfall they're expecting plus
in a day, that's a lot of rainfall. So we'll see.
(23:55):
That's a I love going down there. My uncle used
to have a cabin down there and Grand Rivers I
think it is, and this is the land between the
lakes and beautiful area. But I never realized how much
that area Paducah, Grand Rivers, in net and through Bowling Green.
A lot of these fronts that come through every year
always go dip down and go through that area. I
(24:16):
never realized that until I went down there saw the
lot of the tops of the trees bent over or
snapped off. Beautiful place, though, unbelieve if you ever a
chance to go there. I think if you're into quilting
and all of that, Paducah is like a capital of
that kind of stuff, but pretty neat lots of shops
and into the lakes are just phenomenal. The dam there
(24:36):
at all sailboating and they've got great restaurants and it's
good place. So there's my pitch for Grand Rivers, Kentucky,
Paducah land between the lakes and all you will totally
enjoy it. Talking about yarding at eight hundred eight two
three eight two five five. Don't forget our website at
Ron Wilson online dot com. It is post Valentine's Day
(24:58):
and that means yesterday was valentin Day. Of course, anybody
was selling flowers, candies, all kinds of Valentine's Day goodies
are probably picked over right now, but it's almost like
Christmas time for me. Sometimes I like going through where
I know they have a lot of plant selections the
day after thanks or after Valentine's Day and take a
(25:21):
look at what still remains because in many cases it's
on sale because they want to get rid of it
this weekend. And you can find some pretty nice indoor plants.
Now obviously cut flowers too, but indoor plants that you
can scarf up usually it at a little bit better price.
And you know, if you didn't get any yesterday things
that are a living that it will keep on giving.
(25:42):
You know, if you still get the orchids out there,
they still have the miniature roses. And as Joe mentioned
earlier and the Cup of Joe, the thing about that
most of those miniature roses is that they are very hardy,
typically through you know, zones five easily depending on the selection,
but in most cases they are. So if you get
a miniature flowing rose, potted growing flowering for Valentine's Day,
(26:07):
if you can keep that thing in a nice sunny window,
you know, through typical water dry out, water dry out.
I even like to take those and put them under
the sink and rinse them off about every ten days
to two weeks. They can get mites really quickly for
some reason in the house. But point being is if
you can get those to last for you until we
(26:29):
get into the weather, weather breaks in the springtime. You
can then take those miniature roses outside, plant them in containers,
grow them in a container all summer. They keep flowering
all summer long. I mean, they're very good at that.
Small flowers, and you just sometimes they kind of clean themselves,
but just go through with a small pair of like
you dram pruiting scissors and just clip those off every
(26:51):
now and then and they will continue to flower for
you all summer long. And like I said, many of
the selections are actually hearty for our zones. So you
could actually take those and put them in the ground
if you'd like to, and grow them along with your
other plants, perennials, whatever it may be in you in
your flower beds, So you can do them in containers,
do them in the flower beds whatever may be through
(27:13):
the growing season, and if you're in the ground, typically
are hardy enough to make it through the winter and
come back the following spring. Most of those are on
their own root stock, so that means they're not grafted,
so they'll you know if they're if that's the case,
and they do the tops because they're smaller branches. If
they do, you have a really severe winter and they
do brown and dive back a little bit. Typically you
(27:35):
cut them all back and they come right back up
again from the roots and you got a new plant,
kind of like the knockout roses do. And that was
one of the cool things about knockout was when it
first came out. Can you believe that's been I think
it's twenty or twenty five years this year that the
first knockout rose came under the market. I think twenty
five years that the first knockout came out of the market.
And look what knockout roses did for the rose for
(28:00):
roses coming back into the garden. I mean, at that point,
they had started to fade out. I remember back in
the seventies, everybody had roses, and a lot of people
had multiple roses, had two or three dozen, especially hybrid
t's and granded floors and the floor abundus and cutting
roses you know that, and just really you know, sprang
(28:20):
and taken care of them. Do it because it's a
lot of work. And of course the maintenance of those
started to become as the gardening started to change a
little bit. Didn't want to be that involved with things
like that that took so much time, rosarians became you know,
rose gardens and individual yards, but otherwise you didn't see
(28:40):
roses too much. Kind of started to fade out, and
the rose sales and local garden centers went from thousands
to just the hundreds in the you know, in the springtime,
and then you were done, and so you didn't see
too many. But then all of a sudden, ord was
out that and and I mean back up for a second.
In the seventies, there were a couple of shrub roses
(29:02):
that you could always count on. But you know, it
was like everybody always wanted the cutting rows, that was
the deal. But then we started that you started changing
the same. Wait a second, if these if these shrub
roses require less maintenance because they were self cleaning, pretty tough,
pretty durable, and flowered all summer long without a lot
of work, maybe that is an option we start to
(29:22):
look at. And there was like a new dawn, little
fairy I think it was one of them. Uh, there was.
And then some new ones came along and were kind
of interesting and they were showing good a little bit
of disease resistance and more flowering and started to sparking
a little bit of interest and then through the plant
(29:44):
breeding they came up with the knockout ros the original
one with that raspberry red, and I always want to
see raspberry red lemon yellow come from fruit loops. But anyway,
that when that was released, that was like the the
you know, one of the best things in sliced bread.
Because here is this rose. That's a shrub rose that
(30:05):
you know, typically you keep it three to four feet
high and wide, that basically flowers with no help whatsoever
throughout the entire summer. And you know, you can deadhead
it if you want to, but otherwise it was self cleaning,
very hardy, grown on its own rootstock. And knockout roses.
Say what you may about knockout and there are multiple
(30:26):
colors of knockouts on the market today, not just that one.
But you can say what you say about knockouts. But
they brought roses back into the landscape, especially using shrub roses,
landscape shrub roses, and now of course you see mass
plantings of them, drift planting of them, mixing them in
(30:46):
with your perennial gardens, things like that, and so many again,
so many great colors that are out there. I still
think the doubles were the best. The double red, the
double pink, I think still had the best colors. But
you know, now they've got everything from whites to yellows
to whatever in the knockout sea. But it actually was
the rose that brought the focus back on roses back
(31:07):
into the garden and in containers. Here was a rose
and we never thought about that, never thought about growing
roses and containers, and here was one that actually did
very well growing in a container. So you know, you
have to applaud knockout roses. And then from that point forward,
plant rose breeders started coming up with all kinds of
new selections. So look at the ones, the drift roses,
(31:28):
and the coral roses and the you know, all the
groundcover types and it's just phenomenal. But point being was,
and I got off on a little tangent theories that
if you find some of these miniature roses that are
still petite, by the way, knockout petite. They came out
a couple of years ago with small red flower that's
actually a cross between the knockout rose and a miniature rose.
(31:50):
So it has a great knockout dark green, glossy leaf,
good disease resistance, self cleaning for the most part, still
good at death had them and help themlong. It's a
little smaller rose that looks like a miniature rose covered
on those and they stay a little bit smaller and
really nice plants called petit knockout meat petit, and I
(32:11):
really like that one. But you know, that just is
an example that these are very hardy. You can win
limp them through if you got them for Valentine's Day,
or go out this weekend and see if you can
find a few out there for a good price. Limp
them through in the house because they've been greenhouse grown.
They're not, you know, hardened off to plant outside. The
weather's not right's got to wait till the weather changes
(32:32):
and we get warmed up that you can actually take
them back outside and you'll acclimate them for a week
and then plant them in and do whatever you're gonna do.
But just limp them through for the next month and
a half or so, and you get yourself some miniature
roses for a pretty good price. Orchids African violence for
inside the house, easy to take care of orchids. I
see lost cyclements and one of my favorite that I
(32:55):
love for an indoor plant that just tough, durable, the
flowers outstanding. It does flowers for you, just off and
on all the time. Is an theoreum and theorem. And
it looks like that red looks like a red heart
shaped flower. Actually it's a brack the flowers the yellow
stem that comes out the top of that. But it's
a it's a really cool one. But again, good chance
(33:17):
you might find those where they were selling Valentine's Day
flowers yesterday now trying to move them along and probably
at a little better price, So be sure and check
that out. I love going to kind of scarfing and now,
of course while you're there, you can always walk down
the Valentine's Day candy isle and see what's left there.
Rees's Valentine's hearts. Eight hundred, Yeah, you got it, eight
(33:40):

Good morning, Welcome back. You're in the garden with Ron
Wilson again. The toll free number is eight hundred eight
two three eight two five five. Talking about post Valti's
day cleanup, going down the candy cleaning up what's left
over because you know it's gonna be on sale. And
again the flower department, you know, and I hope they
got picked clean and everybody got flowers and took them butt.
You know, sometimes you go when you look at some
(36:11):
of these places and they've got some great potted plants
that you can add to your indoor collection, miniature roses
that you can do that for right now, take them
outside once the weather breaks, because they've been greenhouse forced,
so they're gonna be pretty tender. So they have to
wait for the weather to break, get past most of
those heavy frosts and freezes, and then you can get
those moved outside. But you can get some pretty good
(36:32):
prices on things like that, just like when I'm talking
about at Christmas time, you know, when it's past Christmas,
scarfing up those amberillas and paper white kits so that
you can have good color throughout the winter season with
the kits that you know, sometimes at half the price,
so you know, be sure and check that out. I
think you'll you'll find that there's some good prices there.
And hey, if they still have the cut flowers left over,
(36:54):
and there's you know, a couple three vases of cut
flowers throughout the house makes you feel great, There's no
doubt about it. Research has shown it, you know, how
much it makes it feel feel really good having that
bright color indoors. So and that's funny, you know, they
said the research started with the remember the one eight
hundred was it one eight hundred flowers? One hundred floors?
Way back when when they first started doing the you
(37:16):
could call and order flowers or someone anywhere in the
United States with one number. Wows that changed Now you
just get on your whatever and go. But they did
a lot of research back then, starting to trying to
boost the floor you know, industry knowing that you know
what how good these did for it, flowers did for you,
(37:37):
And the research that came out of that was phenomenal.
And then you're talking about cut flowers, indoor plants, plants,
and then took it from there and went to outdoor plants.
You know, and if you look at the research today,
cut flowers, house plants. Being able to look out a
window like at a hospital, you know, having flowers in
the room, how much that makes the patient feel better
(37:58):
having a window that looks out into the landscape. How
that makes patients feel so much better. They require typically
less pain medication, and they said in many cases they
actually start to heal faster because they've got that good view.
So you see a lot of newer hospitals now that
have the opportunity they try to face a lot of
those windows now out into the landscape, rooftop gardens where
(38:22):
they look you know, some of the building tops there
are different heights so that you look out onto the
rooftop gardens to be able to see that. And of
course more indoor plants, and of course the flowers as well.
Funerals were the same way, which I thought was kind
of interesting. Sending funeral flowers not only helped the folks
that were grieving, but it helped you feel better by
(38:43):
sending the flowers because you were grieving too, But it
helped you because you help them. So it was a
two way street there showing what it does to cut flowers,
to have like an assisted living nursing homes, things like that,
to pick up the seniors, and of course the house
plants with us students and clearing the air and making
you feel better indoors. I mean it's just the whole
(39:05):
nine yards how much plants influence us every day, and
it's just and it's scientific research proving that. So pretty cool.
I like that. So anyway, if you find extra cut
flowers that are really nice and still seem fairly fresh,
that would be a fun thing to do too. And
you can, you know, drop a few off on the
(39:26):
way home maybe to some folks that maybe didn't get
cut flowers for Valentine's Day, or maybe take a few
extra if you can get some smaller bouquets, go to
a close nearby assisted living senior community, whatever may be,
and drop those off and have them put them out
for the folks there to enjoy as well. By the way,
a good question came up yesterday talking about with the
(39:50):
cut flowers, you know, you get that packet of cut
flower present preserve that you sprinkle in the water when
you're putting your cut flowers in the vase. Does that
really work and is it really necessary? And that always
comes up at Christmas time With the cut trees, do
you need that cut tree product that they sell at
the garden centers or whatever to put in the water
(40:10):
to keep them fresher? Well? The key with cut flowers
or with a cut trees. And I've always said you
treat a cut Christmas tree like a vase of cut flowers.
Same way. Was that the key for the cut tree
was actually just the water. Don't let it dry up.
Fresh cut water, you got it made. But for cut flowers,
(40:31):
you want the fresh cut. You want the fresh water.
You never want to let foliage that's on the stem
be in the water. So the only thing that should
be down in the water in those vases should be
stems only. No foliage, all right, fresh cut right into
the water. And yes, you do want to use those preservatives.
(40:52):
As a matter of fact, if you look on the
and a lot of times they will layel them. Sometimes
they don't. But if you look on the label, what
they put in there is is some type of a
product that adds sugar which gives a little bit of
nourishment for the flower. There's usually some type of citric
acid something like that to adjust the pH of your
water to make it right for the plants, so that
(41:14):
helps to travel up the stem. They typically also have
an antibacterial agent in them to help prevent the growth
of bacteria and algae and fungus. Within the vase water.
So yeah, you do want to use those preservatives when
you are doing cut flowers. It does help in that
particular case. All right, before we take a break here,
I'm coming up. At the bottom of the hour, the
