Speaker 1 (08:38):
It's an issue with trees.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Yeah, it's hard to diagnose. And if you take a
look at a lot of these different situations that come up,
and if you see the pictures and a lot of
pictures on that one, yeah, you might recognize some things
that have happened to your trees in the past.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
So, yeah, take a look at that. That's a long one.
That one you have to sit and read for a while.
Speaker 1 (08:56):

Two. Yeah, Rita's recipe of the week. It's not really recipes.
She's just talking about different kind of flowers you can eat, right, yeah.
Poison ivy? No, no, well you can. You've you know
you you were producing I think when we had we
first started having what's his face on from Zanfell? Yeah,
(09:20):
poison ivy. Yeah, and people used to eat and they
still do eat poison ivy. Thinking that made you immune
to poison ivy And he's like, no, no, no, I
did find out something that was interesting. This was this
is not related to anything that we previously discussed. Did
you know that almonds are members of the poison ivy family? No,
(09:46):
you knew that. No, they're not.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
No, I'm saying no is an amazement. Is it the genus, species,
or the family.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
It's just it's the family. I mean, obviously you don't
break out when you.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Eat almond, but unless you're allergic to.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Your allergic to it. But I thought that was really interesting, Like, huh,
so they're connected. So they're connected. So when you eat
almond milk or drink almond milk, you're drinking poison ivy milk. No,
they're the same family. Stretching it too much anyway, Well,
they weren't. The sales of almond milk yep. I tried
that once. It's not bad. It's okay, not for me,
(10:27):
It's not for me, but it was okay. And this
week's don't eat poison ivy lees by the way, Yeah,
don't do that. And they're not almonds are not poison
ivy almonds. No, but there are the same. They could
be related. They're related.

Let's not hesitate, Let's go right to the gardening phone lines.
Donna and Cincinnati.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
Good morning, good morning. How are you?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
I am great in yourself?
Speaker 6 (16:41):
Good?
Speaker 5 (16:41):
I am great too good. I have something I've never
seen before. Okay, and I wondered if you can give
me a little information about it.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
We'll give it a shot.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
I looked out the window and decided a wasp was
building a nest hanging from the overhang of the poor
kind of hidden behind the gutter so it was protected.
It looked like a large, very large acorn. Okay, it
(17:12):
even it even had kind of a thing that looked
like the top. And then it had a hole about
half inch or five eighths of an inch in diameter.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
In the bottom.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
And was made out of mud.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
It didn't look like it was made out of mud.
But when I looked at it yesterday, I was wishing
I had taken a picture of the day before, because
the hole was covered and it has a tunnel or
tube of mud coming down from there.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah, more than like there's a there's a wasp out
there called a pottery wasp, and you can you can
google that when we're done, take a look and see
if that's it. But they'll make these mud that looks
like a pot you know, like out of pottery, and
they put it keep a hole in the end of it,
and then they lay their inside that, and then they
steal that back over with a mud on the top.
Then the babies hatch out inside. Then they come back
(18:07):
out of that and they move on and they're really cool.
And when you find them where they've already hatched out.
It looks like a little bitty cup. And they'll put
them on the side of stems. You'll find them on plants,
you'll find them on the house, under the eve, something
like that. But that's the first thing that comes to
mind with me is that's probably a pottery wasp. And
(18:28):
like I say, you can google that and see if
you do, take a picture of it up close, email
it to me. I can take a quick look at
it and help identify it as well. But more than
likely that said it, and those are pretty cool. And
again I let them do their thing. I mean, wasps,
you know, as long as they're not bothering you are
a good thing, because I mean they are predators in
the garden. They go after a lot of the leaf
eating caterpillars. They're meat eaters, and so they can really
(18:52):
do you a lot of good as long as it's
not a nuisance or a problem for you in a
high traffic area that type of a thing. But usually
with a pottery wasp, it's only uh, you know, that's small,
like you're seeing right there. So it's not like you
get those paper wasps where you got hundreds of them
all swarmed around it. That's all they do, so it's
usually not an issue and more of a to me.
(19:12):
It's intriguing and you can learn learn a lot more
about them. But google that see see if that's what
it is. Or send me a picture and I'll take
a look at it and tell.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
You for sure.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Okay, all right, excellent.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Have a happy Mother's Day weekend. Pottery wasp. They're pretty cool.
And then you'll see all different sizes of them. But
they make that out of mud? How do they do that?
It is so darn perfect, you mean Mother nature. Still
I just cracks They don't crack me up. It's just
so intriguing, you know. I still watch the carpenter bees
on our deck, and I have to admit, if you've
been listening to the show for a long time, you know,
(19:44):
I let them do their thing. They're great pollinators. The
female is the male doesn't do anything besides mate and
fly around and kind of scay you a little bit.
And they can't sting you, so you don't have to
worry about it. And they're not going to sting you,
and the mothers, the females are gonna sting unless you
will try to pick one up, but you know, let
them do their thing. And over about I think when
I read that our dick was probably about seven years
(20:05):
ago or so. There are a couple of rails, handrails
that they've been using for quite some time. And I
was looking at him a couple weeks ago, and there's
a lot of holes in there, and I may wind
up replacing that this summer. I might I might not
have to see. But if you don't and you have
holes like that, remember you can fill those back up
with like liquid nail, a construction adhesive. It adds structure
(20:26):
back to the wood, fills that hole back up again.
Done deal. But remember they are great pollinators. There are
a nuisance because they buzz you, but they aren't gonna
sting yet. Let them do their thing. Eight hundred eight

Speaker 1 (22:55):
We are talking your ardening at eight hundred and eight
two three eight two five five. Happy Mother's Day weekend.
I am Ron Wilson, your personal yard boy, and yes,
as I always remind you if you are out and
about to your local independent garden centers. This weekend, and
I know I'm looking. Yesterday they were jammed, they were packed. Hey,
(23:16):
it's the first good weekend we've had in our area
pretty much all spring, so you know, it's been a
kind of a hold off, hold off, hold off. Now
is finally cutting loose. Plus it's Mother's Day weekend. It's
gonna be crazy at your local garden centers. So when
you get out there, a couple of tips here for
you real quick. Know what you're looking for, have your homework,
have your notes in hand so you know what annuals,
(23:38):
your perennials, or trees and shrubs you're looking for. Maybe
with them being so busy, you limit it to maybe
just the annuals and the perennials, and then come back
next week and look at the trees and shrubs or
vice versa. Whatever may be vegetables as well, but you know,
have a list so you know what you're looking for. Now,
You're going to find a lot of stuff in there
this weekend, next week, in the following weekend. These are
(23:58):
the busiest two weekends of the year for most garden centers,
and the week before usually in the week in between
or after Mother's Day. I'm extremely busy, so they're going
to be bringing in a lot of things they really
gear up for this weekend. You're going to see things
in the garden centers this weekend that you may not
see any other time the rest of the year because
of those impulse items for mom, gifts for mom, because
(24:22):
you know moms love gifts for and from the garden
so you're going to see a lot of that out there.
But point being is, have your notes together so if
you're on a mission, so you know what you're looking
for and you'll make it easier for it to navigate.
Get everything together for you. If you are looking for
something specific and the particular garden center handles it, grows
(24:42):
it usually sells it. But when you get there they're
out of it. Don't write it off. Now. You may substitute,
and you know, if you want to get it all
done today, substitute. And sometimes I've always said sometimes running
out of something that you looking for that you're used
to planting forces you to try something else. And a
lot of times when you try something else, you find
out that guess what, I actually liked what I tried
(25:05):
out because I couldn't find the one and I usually
use there. But you know, if you're specific and you
got to have it, ask them because in many cases
they're growing. You know, growers grow two, three, four, five
succession plantings to carry that particular plant through the entire
spring season. Now, if we get hammered over a two
(25:25):
or three week period, you may use up a lot
of them in a very short period of time. But
they try to stretch that supply out, So ask if
they're getting more in. If they're not, then you may
need to substitute. But again ask questions and be patient. Please,
these garden centers, you know, this is their this is it,
this is where they really shine. This is this is
(25:45):
their two weekends, two weeks that really are very very
very important to them. So it's important that you get
out and visit and buy. Obviously, of course Mother's Day weekend.
Moms love things for the garden and from the garden.
But be patient. They're going to be very busy. They're
going to do their best to take care of you.
Help them out a little bit, but have yourself, have
(26:07):
your list together, and then go from there. And like
I said, you're going to find some endpulse items out there.
That's absolutely crazy. I saw some statistics the other day.
It always kills me. Dad's listen to this. This year
the spending America's spending on mom is going to rise
two percent, so they anticipate two percent more being spent
(26:28):
on mom. Guess how much mom gets? How much money
spend on mom every Mother's Day three or thirty four
point one billion dollars. That's about two hundred and sixty
bucks per mom.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Not bad.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
I think Father's Day is about half of that, maybe
two thirds of that. It's very low, but it doesn't
matter because mom deserves it. There's no doubt but about it.
Eighty five percent of the population actually celebrates Mom's Day.
And one of the biggest gifts out there, hors is
something from the garden, whether it be cut flowers, potted flowers,
(27:04):
potted rose, planting a tree or shrub or plan or
whatever it may be. That makes up seventy five percent
of the gifts given to mom on Mother's Day weekend.
Of course, greeting cars very important, that's a major and
then taking her out to eat. But again, forty eight
percent want to find something unique for their mom, and
that's what and it creates special memories. That's what you're
(27:25):
going to find that you're locally owned independent garden centers
this weekend. So you know, if you're looking for something
special for mom, and if you get out there and
you just can't decide what it's going to be, what
Mom's gonna like, get her gift card and that way
mom can go back and buy whatever she wants and
don't be cheap. Give her some bucks there so she
can go back and pick out things that she really likes.
But get out to your local independent garden centers this
(27:46):
weekend and be patient because I guarantee they are going
to be extremely, extremely busy. Today we go Cliff, Good morning, Cliff.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
I have.
Speaker 7 (28:02):
Across the front of my yard, I had five boxwood
shrubbery and within the last year two of those have died.
And back in back of my house, I have a
barn and I have two bigger ones back there, and
(28:25):
one of those big ones died. They were older. I'm
wondering what's going on with Do they just after certain names,
just up and die or.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Well, you know, I think clift the thing out. You know,
plants don't live forever. Now, there are some trees out
there that are hundreds and hundreds of years old and
plants that have been out there, especially boxwood. Think about
they've been used in old mansions and for formal hedges
and stuff for many, many, many years. So there's some
pretty old plants out there. But here's what's happened with
(29:01):
boxwood in our area over the last couple of years.
Three years ago, if you remember, we had that sudden
cold snap at the right before Christmas, and.
Speaker 7 (29:09):
That really yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
That really did a number on a lot of boxwood.
I mean they had a lot of die back. It
set them up for a stem canker called voltellos. So
we saw that which we all have always had, but
now that they were stressed, it made it even worse.
So we got through all that. We cut them back,
we cleaned them up. Some people pulled them out and
(29:32):
replaced them with other plants. Some people pulled them out
and replaced them with a new boxwood. And so far
they're doing great. But we're also seeing there's a couple
there's a new new insect in the town that is
in southwestern Ohio. It's in the Hamilton County, Claremont County,
Warren County, it's up in Green County. It's up in
Dayton as well. And this particular caterpillar absolutely destroys boxwood
(29:58):
if you don't catch it soon enough, and they'll just
eat all of them, eat all of the leaves off.
So let me ask you this, as we look at
those box would did they just I mean, are the
leaves still on them? They just turned brown and went
just done?
Speaker 7 (30:11):
Or they're just surreal dry like, oh, I've removed through
the five of running across the Let me ask you this.
They have them in the garden centers, but they're not
(30:32):
very big, right If five those smaller ones in there
were the ones I have left, will they grow up
and reach those sighs? Are the ones I still have left?
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Eventually? I mean, it's going to take a couple of years.
And remember boxwood usually puts out one good new set
of growth every year, and that could be four inches
five inches long and tip we've proven that in half
to keep them nice and shaped, keep them nice and full.
So in the meantime, you're gonna have to keep the
other ones maintained at at the size they're at right
now to try to let those new ones catch up
(31:11):
with them. So it's gonna take time. There's no doubt,
but you know, and matching the variety is gonna be
really hard to You may not be able to find
you know, I couldn't. I couldn't identify the different species.
You know that you're you're you're seeing, so you're gonna guess.
But take take a piece with you from the ones
that you have growing in the front of your house
when you go to the local nursery and try to
(31:33):
match up at least the leaf size and the leaf
color as best you can, and then go.
Speaker 7 (31:41):
For the ones.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
I take a little piece, Yeah, take a piece about
four inches long, so you got that whole little end.
Speaker 7 (31:47):
And compare and compare it with what they've got.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Ther exactly and that again, they're not gonna be able
to identify it identically, but at least you can kind
of match it up that way.
Speaker 7 (31:59):
I think I think you have the answer. I remember
that winter and they did turn, they did turn and
brown and didn't look very healthy.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Nope.
Speaker 7 (32:11):
And I think that that cold step.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Is what got yep.
Speaker 7 (32:15):
And it still takes Street that died Yep.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
They're still taking his toll here and there on a
few of them out there. And you know what, even
last fall Cliff, it wasn't cold, but it was extremely
warm and it was extremely dry, and they don't like that.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (32:30):
Yeah, some people have told me that I probably didn't
water enough.
Speaker 8 (32:37):
Uh uh.
Speaker 7 (32:39):
So it could have been a combination of both, right
that winter and not water them enough during that dry
spell last.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Summer absolutely and fall it was dry right to the
end of the season.
Speaker 7 (32:52):
Yeah, okay, okay, so a little neglect on my part. Well,
there's nothing I could do about the winter.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
No, you can't control that. But again, keep that in
mind when we get into a drought situation, how important
it is to water evergreens, boxwood, needle plants like spruce
and things like that. It's very important to keep those
watered during those periods of time. Arbor vidy the same way.
Arborvidy in general was hurt here and there and everywhere
(33:20):
because of the fact of just basically lack of moisture
in the ground, especially going into the winter. So keep
that in mind when you replace those two box wood
to keep the other ones that looking good as well.

Speaker 1 (35:43):
Talking to you, arguing at eight hundred and eight two
three eight two five five. Right back to the gardening
fuond lines, we shall go. Dave in Cincinnati, Dave, good morning,
Good morning, Ron. Listen.
Speaker 10 (35:52):
I got a question the other day.
Speaker 6 (35:55):
I was standing the internet. I've seen something you can
to be old.
Speaker 10 (35:59):
As these if the books too good to be true,
it probably is.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Yeah, most of the time, especially with plants.
Speaker 10 (36:06):
I've seen a dwarf cherry tree and the description I'll
say it can be container grown. It showed what I
think is a mature tree in the in the planter.
And when it was sitting there they I guess for
for expected, there was a man's sind next to it,
(36:27):
and it was a further or two taller than the
average guy, I guess. But Ron, this this dwarf cherry
tree they called it had little foliage, and it had
When I say on abundant to cherries, I'm talking abundant,
abundant as.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
In more cherries than leaves.
Speaker 6 (36:51):
Oh yeah, and and and the cherries Ron.
Speaker 10 (36:56):
Looked to be about the side of a small plump Wow.
Speaker 6 (37:02):
And I'm thinking come on. So I then I didn't
google or anything then I.
Speaker 10 (37:09):
Googled a dwarf cherry tree. Aln there was probably eight
options to buy other dwarf cherry tree. Yes, and I
don't know if it's a new cold tomorrow or what
do you call it.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
Here's here's what I usually do if I've never if
I haven't talked to anybody or or know about that
particular one, is look for the name what it's called
that particular one, like you saw the first one, and
then put that back in your Google and google that
particular tree, and then that'll bring up other sites if
other sites are out there, or folks that have grown
(37:46):
that particular tree, to give you a little bit more
feedback to see, you know, is it for real or not.
Now here's the kicker, Dave, the dwarf, the dwarf trees,
fruit trees, fruits and berries, blueberries and raspberries and figs
and all those that are on the market today. It's phenomenal.
(38:06):
And these plants are true dwarfs like that cherry. And
I've seen the dwarf cherries that get probably eight feet tall,
probably five feet in diameter. But they are heavy producers.
And that's the cool thing about these. Now that may
be photoshopped a little bit as far as the production,
but they're pretty darn good at production. There's an apple
(38:29):
out there that I'll give you for instance, that came
out and I think Stark Brothers came out with it,
originally called Colonnades. And these colonnades get four feet in
diameter about eight to nine feet tall. And the production
on these apple trees, it's a regular sized apple, is
a lot higher percentage based on the size of the
(38:49):
tree than you would get out of a regular dwarf
or semi dwarf fruit tree, apple tree, because they really
produce heavily and they're good apples, but they could be
grown in containers that are in the So that has
come a long way. And this was that was thirty
years ago, so they've come a long way. So when
I see these new varieties like that, yeah, they are
out there on the market, but I also take that
(39:11):
particular name and I'll go back and try to find
other people that have grown it, uh, just to see
if is it for real or not, and where it's
sourced from, because there's some sources out there that are
dependable on some that are not. But it is amazing
And again like I say, I'm sure they probably souped
it up a little bit as far as adding a
few more cherries. But those are out there for you,
(39:32):
and it's exciting because they can be grown in large
containers or if you put them in the ground, they
don't take up a lot of space. You can have
this fruit tree.
Speaker 10 (39:41):
I think I put it in the ground.
Speaker 6 (39:42):
If you see one, yes, I think one more question,
can I ask?
Speaker 1 (39:48):
Yeah, and let me add one more thing. Make sure
that that is is for our zone, because a lot
of times those may be for a warmer zone. I
that so look a look at look at the information
about the particular tree.
Speaker 6 (39:59):
Okay, thanks for the information. I'm going to ask you
one more Okay. I also seen that there is a
new colsmar of a lemon called a Meyer lemon.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
Yes, now see Meyer lemon's been around a long time.
Speaker 6 (40:14):
Oh it.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
Is.
Speaker 10 (40:17):
They're talking.
Speaker 6 (40:18):
They're talking about these can be in big pots, can
be grown they say on the.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Patio, you know, but it has to come back in
the house over the winter.
Speaker 6 (40:28):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that you know. But I'm saying, I
have a sunny, sunny room. Do you think that being
grown during our winter months inside that it would produce lemons.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
Yes, absolutely, Meyer Lemon was Again there's another one that
was bred and developed as a high producer. Small obviously
small lemon tree, but perfect for growing in containers or indoors,
so that you put it on the patio in the summer,
you bring it back in the house in the winter.
Now comes in the house. It's got to be in
a really well lit area, but it does work inside
(41:04):
the house. So yeah, these new dwarf rieties that are
coming along are phenomenal. Just make sure you do your
research or give me a call or email me and
I'll help you out as well. But there are a
ton of them out there that are really nice. Kevin O'Dell,
good morning.
Speaker 8 (41:16):
Good morning, mister Wilson. How's everything with you?
Speaker 1 (41:19):
It's great. Happy Mother's Day weekend to you, sir.
Speaker 8 (41:22):
Do you also we're going to have a little celebration tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
Good God, grandkids and everybody over.
Speaker 8 (41:27):
I'll bet grandkids and we're all frying fish that we
caught in British Columbia. I'm jealous of fresh fish to
catch to eat that we've already caught. My little grandson
went with me last year and eleven years old, and
he did nothing but fish for five.
Speaker 1 (41:44):
Days because he was.
Speaker 8 (41:46):
Ice cream ate lots of ice cream.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
I bet I bet I bet he visited a garden
or too while he was there.
Speaker 8 (41:53):
No he didn't. No, no, no, no, he does that
around here with me. Okay, that's good. They just wanted
to comment Ron when you talk about all those garden
centers being so busy this weekend, I mean that's absolutely
the truth. And have patients when you go there, yep,
you know they're growing phenomenal plants just for you. But
(42:15):
it's like it is just incredible, and we can't impress
upon people how busy it is. Keep your list going
and everything. You know, never any want more plug is
you know, this is Mother Day weekend for the garden
centers and everything and your landscapers and the people that
care for your gardens. We've had all that rain also,
(42:35):
and we're a little bit behind this year, so please
have patience with us.
Speaker 1 (42:39):
Yeah. I know a lot of a lot of landscapers
are you know, you have sold the jobs. I haven't
been able to put them in because it's been You're
absolutely right, because it's been so wet. So yeah, I
got to be patient, you know, we can't do anything
about the weather. That's funny. You and I've been in
this business our entire life, and we deal with something
that we have no control over every day, absolutely, and
that's the weather. So you know, you can't be a
little frustrating, but have the patients, as Kevin said, and
(43:02):
it'll get here.
Speaker 8 (43:05):
Yeah, one more thing, Ron, I want to wish all
the mothers happy Mother's Day. I'd really like to wish
the mothers that taught us all about gardening.

it was. It looked like it was gonna rain all
day and then all of a sudden, about I don't know,
six thirty seven o'clock, it came down like a monsuit.
That's what I heard for about ten minutes and then
(04:01):
it's I see, as you can snap your fingers, it
was gone.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
That stayed south of us. You could see it, but
it stayed south of us. That never made it up
our way. And sure as Shanola. Guess when the dogs

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Oh it could be.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I mean during the winter when it was you know,
ten below he even though he's loaded the ground and
he's still you know, you have to go out there
and get them some times, like his dad, well stubborn.
I loaded the ground, but yeah, he I mean, but
I wasn't gonna go out there in that downport to
(05:12):
go get him. I'm like, you know what if you
want to still stay there and get away, stay and

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Yeah, I'll tell you yesterday was great. Today it's going
to be great. Tomorrow is going to be great. If
you're going out to your local independent garden centers, be
patient and be great, and it's going to be good.
It's the're going to be busy. I mean, think about it.
We haven't had a great, good weekend, a really good
weekend like this all spring. All spring.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Yeah, at least last week when was cold. I went
to the Reds game on Saturday and it was freezing.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Yeah, you a little dampness in the air.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I mean, if if it didn't have if if we
didn't have the wind, it would have at least been decent.
But all of a sudden, around uh, when when the
sun went down, that wind started coming off the river
and it was cold. It was literally cold, like this.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Is supposed to be Man's like man, Julie had to

So the website is Ron Wilson Online dot com and
the Facebook page in the Garden with Ron Wilson. The
chat room is rocking and rolling, yes already, yes, sir.
And the Facebook and the website has there's a couple
of things from Joey Bobbs's minions, yes, that are on there,
(08:31):
something about the spotted lantern fly and what is vascular cambium.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
It's an issue with trees.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Yeah, it's hard to diagnose. And if you take a
look at a lot of these different situations that come up,
and if you see the pictures and a lot of
pictures on that one, yeah, you might recognize some things
that have happened to your trees in the past.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
So, yeah, take a look at that. That's a long one.
That one you have to sit and read for a while.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Yeah, a lot, a lot of illustrations.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Two. Yeah, Rita's recipe of the week. It's not really recipes.
She's just talking about different kind of flowers you can eat, right, yeah.
Poison ivy? No, no, well you can. You've you know
you you were producing I think when we had we
first started having what's his face on from Zanfell? Yeah,
(09:20):
poison ivy. Yeah, and people used to eat and they
still do eat poison ivy. Thinking that made you immune
to poison ivy And he's like, no, no, no, I
did find out something that was interesting. This was this
is not related to anything that we previously discussed. Did
you know that almonds are members of the poison ivy family? No,
(09:46):
you knew that. No, they're not.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
No, I'm saying no is an amazement. Is it the genus, species,
or the family.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
It's just it's the family. I mean, obviously you don't
break out when you.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Eat almond, but unless you're allergic to.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Your allergic to it. But I thought that was really interesting, Like, huh,
so they're connected. So they're connected. So when you eat
almond milk or drink almond milk, you're drinking poison ivy milk. No,
they're the same family. Stretching it too much anyway, Well,
they weren't. The sales of almond milk yep. I tried
that once. It's not bad. It's okay, not for me,
(10:27):
It's not for me, but it was okay. And this
week's don't eat poison ivy lees by the way, Yeah,
don't do that. And they're not almonds are not poison
ivy almonds. No, but there are the same. They could
be related. They're related.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
And the plants of the week are plants for mom.

Let's not hesitate, Let's go right to the gardening phone lines.
Donna and Cincinnati.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
Good morning, good morning. How are you?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
I am great in yourself?
Speaker 6 (16:41):
Good?
Speaker 5 (16:41):
I am great too good. I have something I've never
seen before. Okay, and I wondered if you can give
me a little information about it.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
We'll give it a shot.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
I looked out the window and decided a wasp was
building a nest hanging from the overhang of the poor
kind of hidden behind the gutter so it was protected.
It looked like a large, very large acorn. Okay, it
(17:12):
even it even had kind of a thing that looked
like the top. And then it had a hole about
half inch or five eighths of an inch in diameter.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
In the bottom.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
And was made out of mud.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
It didn't look like it was made out of mud.
But when I looked at it yesterday, I was wishing
I had taken a picture of the day before, because
the hole was covered and it has a tunnel or
tube of mud coming down from there.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah, more than like there's a there's a wasp out
there called a pottery wasp, and you can you can
google that when we're done, take a look and see
if that's it. But they'll make these mud that looks
like a pot you know, like out of pottery, and
they put it keep a hole in the end of it,
and then they lay their inside that, and then they
steal that back over with a mud on the top.
Then the babies hatch out inside. Then they come back
(18:07):
out of that and they move on and they're really cool.
And when you find them where they've already hatched out.
It looks like a little bitty cup. And they'll put
them on the side of stems. You'll find them on plants,
you'll find them on the house, under the eve, something
like that. But that's the first thing that comes to
mind with me is that's probably a pottery wasp. And
(18:28):
like I say, you can google that and see if
you do, take a picture of it up close, email
it to me. I can take a quick look at
it and help identify it as well. But more than
likely that said it, and those are pretty cool. And
again I let them do their thing. I mean, wasps,
you know, as long as they're not bothering you are
a good thing, because I mean they are predators in
the garden. They go after a lot of the leaf
eating caterpillars. They're meat eaters, and so they can really
(18:52):
do you a lot of good as long as it's
not a nuisance or a problem for you in a
high traffic area that type of a thing. But usually
with a pottery wasp, it's only uh, you know, that's small,
like you're seeing right there. So it's not like you
get those paper wasps where you got hundreds of them
all swarmed around it. That's all they do, so it's
usually not an issue and more of a to me.
(19:12):
It's intriguing and you can learn learn a lot more
about them. But google that see see if that's what
it is. Or send me a picture and I'll take
a look at it and tell.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
You for sure.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Okay, all right, excellent.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Have a happy Mother's Day weekend. Pottery wasp. They're pretty cool.
And then you'll see all different sizes of them. But
they make that out of mud? How do they do that?
It is so darn perfect, you mean Mother nature. Still
I just cracks They don't crack me up. It's just
so intriguing, you know. I still watch the carpenter bees
on our deck, and I have to admit, if you've
been listening to the show for a long time, you know,
(19:44):
I let them do their thing. They're great pollinators. The
female is the male doesn't do anything besides mate and
fly around and kind of scay you a little bit.
And they can't sting you, so you don't have to
worry about it. And they're not going to sting you,
and the mothers, the females are gonna sting unless you
will try to pick one up, but you know, let
them do their thing. And over about I think when
I read that our dick was probably about seven years
(20:05):
ago or so. There are a couple of rails, handrails
that they've been using for quite some time. And I
was looking at him a couple weeks ago, and there's
a lot of holes in there, and I may wind
up replacing that this summer. I might I might not
have to see. But if you don't and you have
holes like that, remember you can fill those back up
with like liquid nail, a construction adhesive. It adds structure
(20:26):
back to the wood, fills that hole back up again.
Done deal. But remember they are great pollinators. There are
a nuisance because they buzz you, but they aren't gonna
sting yet. Let them do their thing. Eight hundred eight

Speaker 1 (22:55):
We are talking your ardening at eight hundred and eight
two three eight two five five. Happy Mother's Day weekend.
I am Ron Wilson, your personal yard boy, and yes,
as I always remind you if you are out and
about to your local independent garden centers. This weekend, and
I know I'm looking. Yesterday they were jammed, they were packed. Hey,
(23:16):
it's the first good weekend we've had in our area
pretty much all spring, so you know, it's been a
kind of a hold off, hold off, hold off. Now
is finally cutting loose. Plus it's Mother's Day weekend. It's
gonna be crazy at your local garden centers. So when
you get out there, a couple of tips here for
you real quick. Know what you're looking for, have your homework,
have your notes in hand so you know what annuals,
(23:38):
your perennials, or trees and shrubs you're looking for. Maybe
with them being so busy, you limit it to maybe
just the annuals and the perennials, and then come back
next week and look at the trees and shrubs or
vice versa. Whatever may be vegetables as well, but you know,
have a list so you know what you're looking for. Now,
You're going to find a lot of stuff in there
this weekend, next week, in the following weekend. These are
(23:58):
the busiest two weekends of the year for most garden centers,
and the week before usually in the week in between
or after Mother's Day. I'm extremely busy, so they're going
to be bringing in a lot of things they really
gear up for this weekend. You're going to see things
in the garden centers this weekend that you may not
see any other time the rest of the year because
of those impulse items for mom, gifts for mom, because
(24:22):
you know moms love gifts for and from the garden
so you're going to see a lot of that out there.
But point being is, have your notes together so if
you're on a mission, so you know what you're looking
for and you'll make it easier for it to navigate.
Get everything together for you. If you are looking for
something specific and the particular garden center handles it, grows
(24:42):
it usually sells it. But when you get there they're
out of it. Don't write it off. Now. You may substitute,
and you know, if you want to get it all
done today, substitute. And sometimes I've always said sometimes running
out of something that you looking for that you're used
to planting forces you to try something else. And a
lot of times when you try something else, you find
out that guess what, I actually liked what I tried
(25:05):
out because I couldn't find the one and I usually
use there. But you know, if you're specific and you
got to have it, ask them because in many cases
they're growing. You know, growers grow two, three, four, five
succession plantings to carry that particular plant through the entire
spring season. Now, if we get hammered over a two
(25:25):
or three week period, you may use up a lot
of them in a very short period of time. But
they try to stretch that supply out, So ask if
they're getting more in. If they're not, then you may
need to substitute. But again ask questions and be patient. Please,
these garden centers, you know, this is their this is it,
this is where they really shine. This is this is
(25:45):
their two weekends, two weeks that really are very very
very important to them. So it's important that you get
out and visit and buy. Obviously, of course Mother's Day weekend.
Moms love things for the garden and from the garden.
But be patient. They're going to be very busy. They're
going to do their best to take care of you.
Help them out a little bit, but have yourself, have
(26:07):
your list together, and then go from there. And like
I said, you're going to find some endpulse items out there.
That's absolutely crazy. I saw some statistics the other day.
It always kills me. Dad's listen to this. This year
the spending America's spending on mom is going to rise
two percent, so they anticipate two percent more being spent
(26:28):
on mom. Guess how much mom gets? How much money
spend on mom every Mother's Day three or thirty four
point one billion dollars. That's about two hundred and sixty
bucks per mom.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Not bad.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
I think Father's Day is about half of that, maybe
two thirds of that. It's very low, but it doesn't
matter because mom deserves it. There's no doubt but about it.
Eighty five percent of the population actually celebrates Mom's Day.
And one of the biggest gifts out there, hors is
something from the garden, whether it be cut flowers, potted flowers,
(27:04):
potted rose, planting a tree or shrub or plan or
whatever it may be. That makes up seventy five percent
of the gifts given to mom on Mother's Day weekend.
Of course, greeting cars very important, that's a major and
then taking her out to eat. But again, forty eight
percent want to find something unique for their mom, and
that's what and it creates special memories. That's what you're
(27:25):
going to find that you're locally owned independent garden centers
this weekend. So you know, if you're looking for something
special for mom, and if you get out there and
you just can't decide what it's going to be, what
Mom's gonna like, get her gift card and that way
mom can go back and buy whatever she wants and
don't be cheap. Give her some bucks there so she
can go back and pick out things that she really likes.
But get out to your local independent garden centers this
(27:46):
weekend and be patient because I guarantee they are going
to be extremely, extremely busy. Today we go Cliff, Good morning, Cliff.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
I have.
Speaker 7 (28:02):
Across the front of my yard, I had five boxwood
shrubbery and within the last year two of those have died.
And back in back of my house, I have a
barn and I have two bigger ones back there, and
(28:25):
one of those big ones died. They were older. I'm
wondering what's going on with Do they just after certain names,
just up and die or.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Well, you know, I think clift the thing out. You know,
plants don't live forever. Now, there are some trees out
there that are hundreds and hundreds of years old and
plants that have been out there, especially boxwood. Think about
they've been used in old mansions and for formal hedges
and stuff for many, many, many years. So there's some
pretty old plants out there. But here's what's happened with
(29:01):
boxwood in our area over the last couple of years.
Three years ago, if you remember, we had that sudden
cold snap at the right before Christmas, and.
Speaker 7 (29:09):
That really yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
That really did a number on a lot of boxwood.
I mean they had a lot of die back. It
set them up for a stem canker called voltellos. So
we saw that which we all have always had, but
now that they were stressed, it made it even worse.
So we got through all that. We cut them back,
we cleaned them up. Some people pulled them out and
(29:32):
replaced them with other plants. Some people pulled them out
and replaced them with a new boxwood. And so far
they're doing great. But we're also seeing there's a couple
there's a new new insect in the town that is
in southwestern Ohio. It's in the Hamilton County, Claremont County,
Warren County, it's up in Green County. It's up in
Dayton as well. And this particular caterpillar absolutely destroys boxwood
(29:58):
if you don't catch it soon enough, and they'll just
eat all of them, eat all of the leaves off.
So let me ask you this, as we look at
those box would did they just I mean, are the
leaves still on them? They just turned brown and went
just done?
Speaker 7 (30:11):
Or they're just surreal dry like, oh, I've removed through
the five of running across the Let me ask you this.
They have them in the garden centers, but they're not
(30:32):
very big, right If five those smaller ones in there
were the ones I have left, will they grow up
and reach those sighs? Are the ones I still have left?
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Eventually? I mean, it's going to take a couple of years.
And remember boxwood usually puts out one good new set
of growth every year, and that could be four inches
five inches long and tip we've proven that in half
to keep them nice and shaped, keep them nice and full.
So in the meantime, you're gonna have to keep the
other ones maintained at at the size they're at right
now to try to let those new ones catch up
(31:11):
with them. So it's gonna take time. There's no doubt,
but you know, and matching the variety is gonna be
really hard to You may not be able to find
you know, I couldn't. I couldn't identify the different species.
You know that you're you're you're seeing, so you're gonna guess.
But take take a piece with you from the ones
that you have growing in the front of your house
when you go to the local nursery and try to
(31:33):
match up at least the leaf size and the leaf
color as best you can, and then go.
Speaker 7 (31:41):
For the ones.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
I take a little piece, Yeah, take a piece about
four inches long, so you got that whole little end.
Speaker 7 (31:47):
And compare and compare it with what they've got.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Ther exactly and that again, they're not gonna be able
to identify it identically, but at least you can kind
of match it up that way.
Speaker 7 (31:59):
I think I think you have the answer. I remember
that winter and they did turn, they did turn and
brown and didn't look very healthy.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Nope.
Speaker 7 (32:11):
And I think that that cold step.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Is what got yep.
Speaker 7 (32:15):
And it still takes Street that died Yep.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
They're still taking his toll here and there on a
few of them out there. And you know what, even
last fall Cliff, it wasn't cold, but it was extremely
warm and it was extremely dry, and they don't like that.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (32:30):
Yeah, some people have told me that I probably didn't
water enough.
Speaker 8 (32:37):
Uh uh.
Speaker 7 (32:39):
So it could have been a combination of both, right
that winter and not water them enough during that dry
spell last.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Summer absolutely and fall it was dry right to the
end of the season.
Speaker 7 (32:52):
Yeah, okay, okay, so a little neglect on my part. Well,
there's nothing I could do about the winter.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
No, you can't control that. But again, keep that in
mind when we get into a drought situation, how important
it is to water evergreens, boxwood, needle plants like spruce
and things like that. It's very important to keep those
watered during those periods of time. Arbor vidy the same way.
Arborvidy in general was hurt here and there and everywhere
(33:20):
because of the fact of just basically lack of moisture
in the ground, especially going into the winter. So keep
that in mind when you replace those two box wood
to keep the other ones that looking good as well.
Cliff and I appreciate the call. Have a happy Mother's
Day weekend quick break we come back. Phone lines are

Speaker 1 (35:43):
Talking to you, arguing at eight hundred and eight two
three eight two five five. Right back to the gardening
fuond lines, we shall go. Dave in Cincinnati, Dave, good morning,
Good morning, Ron. Listen.
Speaker 10 (35:52):
I got a question the other day.
Speaker 6 (35:55):
I was standing the internet. I've seen something you can
to be old.
Speaker 10 (35:59):
As these if the books too good to be true,
it probably is.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Yeah, most of the time, especially with plants.
Speaker 10 (36:06):
I've seen a dwarf cherry tree and the description I'll
say it can be container grown. It showed what I
think is a mature tree in the in the planter.
And when it was sitting there they I guess for
for expected, there was a man's sind next to it,
(36:27):
and it was a further or two taller than the
average guy, I guess. But Ron, this this dwarf cherry
tree they called it had little foliage, and it had
When I say on abundant to cherries, I'm talking abundant,
abundant as.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
In more cherries than leaves.
Speaker 6 (36:51):
Oh yeah, and and and the cherries Ron.
Speaker 10 (36:56):
Looked to be about the side of a small plump Wow.
Speaker 6 (37:02):
And I'm thinking come on. So I then I didn't
google or anything then I.
Speaker 10 (37:09):
Googled a dwarf cherry tree. Aln there was probably eight
options to buy other dwarf cherry tree. Yes, and I
don't know if it's a new cold tomorrow or what
do you call it.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
Here's here's what I usually do if I've never if
I haven't talked to anybody or or know about that
particular one, is look for the name what it's called
that particular one, like you saw the first one, and
then put that back in your Google and google that
particular tree, and then that'll bring up other sites if
other sites are out there, or folks that have grown
(37:46):
that particular tree, to give you a little bit more
feedback to see, you know, is it for real or not.
Now here's the kicker, Dave, the dwarf, the dwarf trees,
fruit trees, fruits and berries, blueberries and raspberries and figs
and all those that are on the market today. It's phenomenal.
(38:06):
And these plants are true dwarfs like that cherry. And
I've seen the dwarf cherries that get probably eight feet tall,
probably five feet in diameter. But they are heavy producers.
And that's the cool thing about these. Now that may
be photoshopped a little bit as far as the production,
but they're pretty darn good at production. There's an apple
(38:29):
out there that I'll give you for instance, that came
out and I think Stark Brothers came out with it,
originally called Colonnades. And these colonnades get four feet in
diameter about eight to nine feet tall. And the production
on these apple trees, it's a regular sized apple, is
a lot higher percentage based on the size of the
(38:49):
tree than you would get out of a regular dwarf
or semi dwarf fruit tree, apple tree, because they really
produce heavily and they're good apples, but they could be
grown in containers that are in the So that has
come a long way. And this was that was thirty
years ago, so they've come a long way. So when
I see these new varieties like that, yeah, they are
out there on the market, but I also take that
(39:11):
particular name and I'll go back and try to find
other people that have grown it, uh, just to see
if is it for real or not, and where it's
sourced from, because there's some sources out there that are
dependable on some that are not. But it is amazing
And again like I say, I'm sure they probably souped
it up a little bit as far as adding a
few more cherries. But those are out there for you,
(39:32):
and it's exciting because they can be grown in large
containers or if you put them in the ground, they
don't take up a lot of space. You can have
this fruit tree.
Speaker 10 (39:41):
I think I put it in the ground.
Speaker 6 (39:42):
If you see one, yes, I think one more question,
can I ask?
Speaker 1 (39:48):
Yeah, and let me add one more thing. Make sure
that that is is for our zone, because a lot
of times those may be for a warmer zone. I
that so look a look at look at the information
about the particular tree.
Speaker 6 (39:59):
Okay, thanks for the information. I'm going to ask you
one more Okay. I also seen that there is a
new colsmar of a lemon called a Meyer lemon.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
Yes, now see Meyer lemon's been around a long time.
Speaker 6 (40:14):
Oh it.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
Is.
Speaker 10 (40:17):
They're talking.
Speaker 6 (40:18):
They're talking about these can be in big pots, can
be grown they say on the.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Patio, you know, but it has to come back in
the house over the winter.
Speaker 6 (40:28):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that you know. But I'm saying, I
have a sunny, sunny room. Do you think that being
grown during our winter months inside that it would produce lemons.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
Yes, absolutely, Meyer Lemon was Again there's another one that
was bred and developed as a high producer. Small obviously
small lemon tree, but perfect for growing in containers or indoors,
so that you put it on the patio in the summer,
you bring it back in the house in the winter.
Now comes in the house. It's got to be in
a really well lit area, but it does work inside
(41:04):
the house. So yeah, these new dwarf rieties that are
coming along are phenomenal. Just make sure you do your
research or give me a call or email me and
I'll help you out as well. But there are a
ton of them out there that are really nice. Kevin O'Dell,
good morning.
Speaker 8 (41:16):
Good morning, mister Wilson. How's everything with you?
Speaker 1 (41:19):
It's great. Happy Mother's Day weekend to you, sir.
Speaker 8 (41:22):
Do you also we're going to have a little celebration tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
Good God, grandkids and everybody over.
Speaker 8 (41:27):
I'll bet grandkids and we're all frying fish that we
caught in British Columbia. I'm jealous of fresh fish to
catch to eat that we've already caught. My little grandson
went with me last year and eleven years old, and
he did nothing but fish for five.
Speaker 1 (41:44):
Days because he was.
Speaker 8 (41:46):
Ice cream ate lots of ice cream.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
I bet I bet I bet he visited a garden
or too while he was there.
Speaker 8 (41:53):
No he didn't. No, no, no, no, he does that
around here with me. Okay, that's good. They just wanted
to comment Ron when you talk about all those garden
centers being so busy this weekend, I mean that's absolutely
the truth. And have patients when you go there, yep,
you know they're growing phenomenal plants just for you. But
(42:15):
it's like it is just incredible, and we can't impress
upon people how busy it is. Keep your list going
and everything. You know, never any want more plug is
you know, this is Mother Day weekend for the garden
centers and everything and your landscapers and the people that
care for your gardens. We've had all that rain also,
(42:35):
and we're a little bit behind this year, so please
have patience with us.
Speaker 1 (42:39):
Yeah. I know a lot of a lot of landscapers
are you know, you have sold the jobs. I haven't
been able to put them in because it's been You're
absolutely right, because it's been so wet. So yeah, I
got to be patient, you know, we can't do anything
about the weather. That's funny. You and I've been in
this business our entire life, and we deal with something
that we have no control over every day, absolutely, and
that's the weather. So you know, you can't be a
little frustrating, but have the patients, as Kevin said, and
(43:02):
it'll get here.
Speaker 8 (43:05):
Yeah, one more thing, Ron, I want to wish all
the mothers happy Mother's Day. I'd really like to wish
the mothers that taught us all about gardening.
Speaker 1 (43:14):
Absolutely aim into that one, Kevin O'Dell, I appreciate it. Man,
have a great weekend. All right, we'll take a quick break.
