Speaker 1 (03:07):
That's right. The Streker family can now go out barefoot
into the grass.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Not just a Strucker family. But it's an old wives tale.
But can you say that anymore?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
But you say it? Go ahead?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
How about an adage?
Speaker 1 (03:20):
It's Jay strekker at don't do that. Well, I've never
heard of that till you till you told me so.
I always call it this struker Okay, we'll call the
striker rule rule. Yes, it has to have a name
to it. I'm a striker rum, I'm a striker rule.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
It's an adage that she brought over from that she
heard when she was little, so she gets credit for it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I think it's cool, very cool. I like those kind
of things.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
So we got some rain this week.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
And she's not an old wives tale it's jama that's true.
There you go.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
We've got some rain this week.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
I got some rain this week, got it yesterday, getting
it today again under marrow. Did you like that ident?
Text you a couple of text a couple of times
this week about thunder. We're getting thundered at our house,
how about you. Yeah, I'm hearing over here too. It's great.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
It was great because and my thunder is usually before
yours because.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
The well, the way it comes up, the way it
comes up. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
So, but but monday grass was cut, so you got
it just in time, just in time for the week
of wet weather. Now I got lake Strucker in the backyard.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yeah. So how I have asked you just before, how
do your dogs react to the thunder? Because our dogs,
and she wants to kind of get close to you,
kind of around. What is that? We have four dogs. Uh,
the oldest one, Fritz, the be Sean, he's scared, but
he's scared of everything. He's scared of his own shadow.
But the other three they really don't care about thunder.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Now. Fireworks are a different thing. Yeah, Oh yeah, Fritz
and Chewie will we'll dive under the bed. We have
to give them CBD. The chilling dog gummys to calm
him down, but Hans doesn't care. And Busters, you know,
(05:10):
he's not that very he's not that smart, so I
really don't think he knows what's going on.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Yeah Hans is It seems that that's way he would be. Yeah,
he's just like, oh.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Okay, whatever, I'm going to go over here and run
around and bring you another toy. He does do that
all the time. But yeah, they don't care. Yeah, they
don't really bother them.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Cool for the most part. Cool.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Now when they want to go outside and open up
the door and it's raining, that's a totally different story.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Some go, some don't.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Or well, because I have a covered patio, and the
covered patio is like, I don't know, about eight feet
from the door. Okay, So usually when I open up
the door, they go sprinting because they want to go
chase the squirrels or the rabbit or whatever. And they'll
go out sprinting and then they'll get to the edge. Well, Buster,
since he's not that smart, he'll just sprint out and
(06:08):
just go out into the yard and then he'll realize
it's raining and then come back. But the other don't
sprint out and as soon as they hit the end
of the patio, nails screeching. I don't think so yeah
on the porch.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Then you had to get the hose. Yeah, rent it off.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
It's fine.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
At least they do that, not in the house. But
I didn't say I didn't do it in the house.
I know at least they did that one that time.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeah, so so yeah, so we got the grass cut. Cool?
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Still, uh your banana coming up? What ours is it?
It's been pretty cool, not yet. I still haven't even
trimmed off west. She probably haven't even have looked.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
I was going to say, well, because of some health issues,
I haven't been able to get out and look around.
But no, it's not coming up. I actually did look
a couple of days ago, and it's uh no, it's
there's nothing there. Maybe one pup is kind of kind
of peeking out, or it was a weed. You're not sure,
probably more of a weed. But yeah, but yeah, grass
(07:10):
cot cut and you know, hey good and uh I
think next week Monday or Tuesday, I think is the
good long millon day because I think it stops raining
in our area Tuesday. Now it's mister rain Sunday too.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Yeah, but I'm saying that Sunday and then you get
a day of letting it dry out a little bit.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yeah, so maybe Tuesday. Tuesday, then it's sister rain for
the weekend again, is it awesome?
Speaker 1 (07:36):

the signage at the outlet or retail and it can
be very frustrating because you're like, you know, I need
to get the sign, help people director or explain something
or whatever. And you do these signs and you make
them big and everything and they're very easy to read
and nobody notices them. Yeah, you're like, but if you

Grande got scratched yesterday. Now I never knew Dan followed
the Kentucky Derby. I didn't know Dan followed the horses.
He never said anything about it. And right during the
break Grande got scratched yesterday. Wow, that was my pick.
(19:32):
So thank you Dan for letting me know that. So
now I've got to go with Bosse. And Bosse was
kind of an alternate. It was twenty there's a twenty
one horse if somebody got scratched, so he was in
anyway for I think the two other ones got scratched too,
And I like that because now we're getting down to
like seventeen or eighteen horses, makes you odds a little
bit better on a muddy track. But so I'm switching.
(19:53):
So if you went for Grande Hell, he can't because
he's a he got scratched. Thank you Danny Glease and
the Durango kid for letting me know. Yes, so it's
a basse Bosse is my pick to win. We'll see

personal yard boy. On this naked World Naked Gardening Day.
It's always the first Saturday in May, so you can always.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Just put some close on run please please.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
This is this is It's right. It's not World Naked
Radio Show Day, right, yes, yeah, gardening days. So anyway,
and uh, it was It's funny. They even put out
a list of the top five cities that that you
want to go to and the worst five cities. And
obviously the worst are up in the northern areas like
anchor Is, Alasta, places like that. But anyway, and it's
(23:43):
Derby Day and I can't believe they're running at seven
o'clock in the afternoon in the evening. That's kind of
late for me. But uh, anyway, that's kind of happened.
I got your picks. Uh, you know, it's always the
run for the roses, and if you like roses, my
two picks are three picks are on the Planet of
the Week at our website at Ron Wilson line dot com.
I have Cinco de Mayo, which has been around long time.
(24:04):
Really cool flora bunda rose, great colors, a little bit
of fragrance to it as well. But that would be
for Monday for Cinco de Mayo, and then I have
for today it would be easy does It. See that'd
be a great name for a horse, Easy does It,
which is my absolute favorite rows of all roses. It's
a Flora bunda and it's a wonderful peach coral uh colors,
(24:29):
ruffled petals, good fragrance. Uh, just absolutely wonderful. I don't
know anybody that's ever planted uh that easy does It rose.
It did not like it, say with Sinco de mayo,
same way. And I also threw in there, uh, the
petit knockout rose, I like. I like that rose. I'm
telling you you want a rose that will flower all
(24:49):
summer long, smaller flower, but it's in the knockout family,
so it's a it's a it's a hybrid between a knockout,
the double knockout and a miniature rose. And nice and
tight dark green, lush foliage, really brilliant, nice red fall
or red fall red flowers, small but lots of them,
(25:10):
and it's great and you can do it in containers,
do it as a small hedge, spot them here and
there throughout the landscape. But petite knockout rose absolutely wonderful.
But those are my three roses for the run for
the roses it picks this weekend, so be sure and
check those out as well, and you can get that
as our website at Ron Wilson online dot com. Now
talking about next weekend is Mother's Day weekend, right Sunday
(25:33):

out and get taking care of mom, because you know,
moms love things from the garden. They love things from

things at you know, new gloves and new pruners, and
new watering can and a moisture meter. She loves all
that kind of stuff, new hummingbird feeder, you know, that
(25:55):
type of thing. But she also loves things that you know,
our gifts for the garden and so container plantings like I,
you know, do my mom. I do plant all of
her tomato plants, and she gets her dragon wing bogonia
hanging basket and do a couple of other planters as well,
and loves it. And that's she counts on that every year.
And sometimes I get it done my Mother's Day weekend.
(26:16):
Sometimes it's a little later, depending on how busy you are,
but you know it's a that's what she likes. And
so you know, if you're if it's it's a rainy
weekend this week in our area, maybe it is in
your area as well. If it is and you're looking
for something to do as far as gardening, getting your
containers ready and planted, because you could do those, you know,
set up a house in the garage and do all
(26:38):
your container planting. Get out to your local independent garden center.
Take your umbrella, and a lot of them are covered.
So I mean you go to a lot of garden
centers today. They've gotten smart. They do a lot of
covering so you can go out there and shop in
any kind of weather. Get out there and start to
take a look because they're stocked there. It's full boar here.
Ain't no looking back. We're planting, you know, we're going forward,
(27:00):
and you know, get everything picked out from not only
your house, hanging baskets for your house. You could do
that now. And what you're gonna do for mom? And
think about for mom? Does she want a rose? Look
at that the easy does or look at the Petit rose,
the Petit knockout, or the sink of Demayo, or maybe
you do a container planter for does mom like to cook,
(27:21):
does she like to use fresh herbs? Make her an
herb planter. I think that's one of the outside to me,
a great planter. And you get to get yourself an
eighteen inch twenty inch planter, even if you just use
the black nursery pots, which are fairly inexpensive. Let the
plants do the talking. Let let the pot fade into
the background. That's the way I look at it, because
I use a lot of those. And think of the
(27:43):
herbs that mom likes to use fresh and for cooking,
And you can potter up a really nice herb garden
and a large container, put that on the back patio, deck,
the porch, whatever it may be, that she would have
fresh herbs right at her fingertips right outside that or
moms love that one. That's a good one. And if
she just, you know, maybe she'd just always use basil,
(28:05):
do a whole thing of maybe two or three types
of basil uh in one big container. But herb planters
are absolutely outstanding, all right, So what about pollinator planters?
If mom likes a little dinner and a show. So
you've got nice flowers that are doing growing, and the
pollinators will come to it as well. Then think of
your pollinator plants. I mean you can you milkweed. Milkweed
(28:29):
will grow nicely in a container, So you can look
at milkweed as far as playing milky milk weed in
a container, and then surround it with Rebeccia annuals that
love that the that the that the pollinators love. That
will be flowering all summer long, because the milkweed is
going to take a while before it starts to flour.
So do a combo in there and perennials annuals and
(28:49):
the milkweed. All right, and now she's got a pollinator planter.
Now that's pretty darn cool. So you show up now
think about it an herb planter with all of her favorites,
or you show up with a pollinator planter with all
the pollinator's favorites. And of course, if it's a pollinator favorite,
that means it's going to be in flour. Something in
there's going to be in flour all the time. As
(29:11):
we get toward the mid to the latter part of
the summer, than of course, the butter of the b
butterfly weed milk weed starting to come into flour as well.
What a great thing there, and as the pollinators come
to that, not only does she get the the great
look of all of the flowers, but she's also seeing
the butterflies and the bees and all the other pollinators,
(29:32):
you know, hummingbirds showing up and using that pollinator planter.
Great way to do that. And maybe you do a
couple of them on the patio. Maybe you do one
of her planter and a pollinator planner. And of course
you can just do a regular planter with filled with perennials.
You can do a regular planter filled with annuals, whatever
it may be, or go the vegetable roud doing nice
(29:55):
planters with tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and you know there so
many great dwarf vegetables available today. Like if you want
to do tomatoes, now, do I do some indeterminates indeterminates
so they know I have to stak them up, you know,
six seven foot cages because they'll fill that up. But
there are bush and dwarf varieties, determinate varieties of cherry
(30:20):
tomatoes and others as well as a matter of fact,
what I'm going to be trying for the first time
this year, weird name is big dwarf tomato. It's a
big beef steak tomato, but it's a dwarf plant gets
about thirty thirty six inches high and wide. Perfect for containers.
But again think about that. You could do you know,
some tomatoes, peppers. Yep, maybe you do a pepper, couple
(30:42):
of peppers and some basil in a container. I do
the tomatoes with basil at the bottom. One tomato, twenty
gallon pot, twenty five gallon pot with basil at the base.
Basil and tomatoes are great to grow together. It's a
perfect planter. So those are things you could get out
to your local owned independent garden centers this weekend if
(31:02):
the weather's not good in your area, all right, and
get mom taken care of. Get them plotted up and
planted and ready to go this weekend so you're not
fighting the traffic next weekend because it's been rainy, Folks
have been holding back. It's going to be kind of
rainy this weekend. Uh, And it looks like it's going
to start to clear out next week. Well, if it
does that, it's going to be crazy in the locally
(31:26):
owned independent garden centers, right, So take advantage of this.
These two days today and tomorrow, and get your hanging baskets,
and get your annuals, and get your vegetables, and get
mom taken care of. Get them all plotted up and
ready to go, so you don't have to mess with
that next weekend you can spend more time with mom.
What a great idea. Before we take a break. Dick
(31:48):
from Dayton, good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (31:51):
I am great? Are you happy with your red legs?
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Yes, yes, they're doing good. Take it out. Just thinking
of going back my aunt and in north Ridgeville and
my cousin Carla in Olmestead, Yes, and my uncle Carl.
They were gardeners. And I always think of my aunt,
you know, and uh on Mother's Day in Carla because
then my grandmother in Wllington had that big oh yard
(32:16):
and all tomatoes, you know, peppers, grapes. I mean you
miss it, you know, Oh sure, yeah, she was even
in the heart weather. She would wait, you know, till
about six seven o'clock. And boy, I tell you, they
used to bring like tomatoes and zuccini and fruit. You
miss all that stuff, you know?
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Oh yeah, you know what though, you know, don't forget
you could do container gardening at your house kind of
bring back those memories. Oh yeah, you might want to
think about that.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Yeah, and uh, I got to play in the strummers
this week.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
I'll go for you.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
It was good everybody. Oh gee, there was one of
my school teachers was there. He Chuck Kerr and he says,
he calls me, I love it.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
Yeah, Well I have a good day.
Speaker 5 (33:05):
All right.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Well stay dry. It's raining up there, I know, so
stayed dry and have a good weekend.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Okay you could, all right.
Speaker 1 (33:11):

eight hundred eight two three eight two five five. Don't
forget our website, Ron Wilson online dot com, Facebook page
in the Garden with Ron Wilson. Use a little chatting
going on there on Saturday mornings as well, so be
sure and check that out. To Dellaware we go Stella,
good morning, Hi Ron, how are you, Stella? I'm doing great?
How about yourself?
Speaker 7 (35:48):
I'm doing good. I need to replace some laribi that
have gotten really large and the zoisa grass has grown
into them and they're really ugly. I was wondering if
I cut the bottom of the pots off to restrict
the growth, do you think they'll survive and just plant
the whole pod?
Speaker 1 (36:07):
So you want to keep them contained, yes, and.
Speaker 7 (36:10):
The grass from growing into them.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
They will for a while. But the problem is, you
know the way the rioty grows, you know what, it's
going to fill that in very quickly. So after a
couple of year period, you know it's going to fill
that up. Now, if you use a what you could
do is go in there and do a even a
larger one, do like a two or three gallon pot
and take the bottom out of it and basically all
you're doing is trying to create that barrier around it
(36:35):
from growing in. But yeah, you could do that. It's
just that you're going to have to probably adjust them
every now and then because they'll just fill it up.
One thing I could suggest for you that you might
want to try is have you ever tried any of
the over the top sprays? No?
Speaker 7 (36:52):
What are they?
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Okay? Because one of my notes today is I had
somebody actually send me an email this week with pictures
of their little and they said, look, we got this
grass that continues growing into the loriiope. I can't get
it out. I pull it, I do everything I can,
and see it still keeps coming back up. And their
question was I just take all the loriope out, kind
of go through a hand weed all the grass out
(37:14):
and replant it, or what would you do? I said,
you know what's interesting is there's a couple of products
on the market they're called over the top sprays, and
they only kill grass. They don't kill anything else, they
don't kill other kinds of weeds. They only kill grass,
and you can spray them over the top of a
ton of different desirable landscape plants, including the wriope and
(37:36):
Theriope is not a grass, so it can be used
over top. Now it takes a couple applications, but it
does a pretty decent job to get rid of the
grasses while the warriopy is still growing and works, you know,
right around it. And of course you got to wait
till that' zoysur or whatever grass is creeping in there
is green. But once it greens up, you know, as
(37:57):
soon as you see it, use that as an over
the top spray fertilo slash high yield. They have the
one that's called over the straight. That's what it's called
over the top, and then I think I think bonnydes
is called grass be Gone, but it's the same chemical
and it and and again it's safe for almost all
(38:18):
your landscape plants even some some vegetables as well. But
read the label. They've got quite a large listing of
things that they've tested it on that you can use.
But that's that's something you might want to take a
look at before you get involved with doing the in
the container thing. So an answer to your question, could
you do that? Yeah, and that does work, And you
know for mints in my nts, you know, ments have
(38:40):
been I've always said meant to be grown in a
container to try to keep controlled. But you get into
something that has a lot of rooting like that, you
put a barrier around it. A lot of times you
can keep it uh in control. So I know you're
trying to keep the grass out, but yeah, that does work.
But try to check with your local independent garden centers
and tell you wanted over the top spray to kill
(39:01):
that kills grass only in your landscape. And again Fertilo
over the top or Bonneyde's grass be gone.
Speaker 7 (39:11):
What about round up?
Speaker 1 (39:12):
Then no, because roundup would kill the loriope.
Speaker 7 (39:16):
Oh okay, So see this product. I'm going to plant
them into the ground. It's not going to be a
container plant, but.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
It would have the container around it.
Speaker 7 (39:28):
Right, It'll be the pot that it comes in, right,
and I'll just cut the bottom off.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
Yeah, well that works. I'm agreeing with you that that
that can work. But what I'm saying is, over time
is that the loriopy will fill up that pot and
now it's so root bound, you know, it's hard to
keep it watered. You need it. You'll have to go
in there and separate it out. It only takes a
couple of years the way they grow to fill that
pot up. So can you do that? Absolutely? I'm agreeing
with you on that. I'm just saying that down the
(39:54):
road you're probably gonna have to pull those out of
the pot, kind of separate them out, replant it because
it gets so tight with the root system. But but
try me over the top and again, like I said,
it may take you a couple applications, but it does work.
And that's a great way in groundcover and things like
that to get grasses out that you just can't seem
(40:15):
to stop.
Speaker 7 (40:17):
Okay, but only so it's too early then for tho
zo oyster grass until well it's starting to green up
a little here, right.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
But it's got to be yes, it needs to be
actively growing for that to work.
Speaker 7 (40:27):
Okay, that sounds good. Okay, thank you very much your show.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
Thank you. I appreciate your listening, appreciate the call. And
that's great that I got that, because it's interesting. I
have right here in my left hand a picture of
a of a bed of loriope sometimes called monkey grass
loriope very guely ripe, and grass is growing up through
it and it can be very frustrating, and you know,
what do you do? And again, these over the top
(40:53):
sprays or they've tested them on quite a few and
if you don't see what you're trying to spray it
on on the label, then I just suggest that you
get it. Spray it just a little bit on a
part of the plant, just you know, a little bit,
just to test it. Give it a couple of days,
see what happens. If it doesn't do anything to it,
you're good to go. And it's amazing what you can
(41:14):
spray over the top of using that fertilom's over the
top or Bonneyes I believe it's Boneyes is called the
grass be Gone, but it does take a couple applications
between that, and of course you know grass will also
seed and throw seed into there and pre emerge in obicides.
You should be good to go, and it's an easy
way to do it, so keep those in mind, especially
(41:35):
like you got juniper's groundcover iris. This As a matter
of fact, my wife's grandmother used to be a commercial
iris grower and every year she would buy the fuselade
which is what the chemical is, and a professional like
a one gallon two gallon container that she would use
with they're iris to keep the grass out of it.
You can spray it right over the top of the
iris plants, and we used to give her a gal
(41:57):
of that for Christmas. She loved it because it was.
Speaker 5 (42:01):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (42:01):
So we used to do that that's and she used
it all the time. So it's amazing what it's labeled for.
But again over the top by fertilo grass be gone
uh by bonnaye. Check both of those out. I think
you will you will like that.
Speaker 5 (42:16):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (42:16):
By the way, talking about planting and landscape beds, don't
forget as you're working in your landscape beds around the
house wherever they may be, every time you go out
there to edge, take it a little bit further, take
it out bed a little bit further. You know, bigger
beds look better. So many times you look at the
landscape beds around the house and they've got those cut
four feet away from the house, five feet away from
the house, plants all crammed in there up against the foundation.
(42:40):
Bring that bed out. The deeper you bring that bed out,
the more depth you give that landscape, the better it's
gonna look from the street and on the in the yard.
And you're taking up more and more of the grass
less grass for you to mow do nice sweeping lines.
So it's easy for you to mow around the edges.
And then when you get in there and mulch. As
(43:00):
soon as you're done mulching and you've got all your
planting done, you've fluffed the mulch, you've reapplied, done whatever
you need to do. Come back with a pre emergent herbicide.
All right, and dimension is a great one. You know
that the prene products are out there, but a pre
emerge and if you want to go natural corn gluten
meal works nicely, Sprinkle that in your beds, Water it
in and now you've got a pre emerged herbicide to
(43:22):
help keep the weeds seeds from growing in there. The
beds are deeper, they look better, the mulch is nice
and fluffed just the right depth. You're good to go.
But keep that pre emergent in mind because it really
does help you in the long run when it comes
to weeding during the summer season. Quick break, We come
back in our next hour. Rita Hikenfell's going to join us.
We've got to talk about herbs and still rooms. Have
(43:44):
you ever heard of that are still rooms? You're gonna
talk about that just in time for Mother's Day weekend,
and then at the bottom of the hour, our favorite
ball lady Peggy and Montgomery will join us. We'll talk
about those summer bulbs all happening here in the garden
with Ron Wilson.
Speaker 4 (44:15):
Landscaping ladies, ear with your personal yard boy. He's in
the garden and he's Ron Wilson.
Eight hundred eight two three eight two five five. Good morning.
I am Ron Wilson. You're personally yard boy talking about
yarding on this first Saturday in May. And there's a
lot going on today, and there's a lot going on
this weekend. There's a lot going on Monday. It's just
a crazy weekend. So let's kick it off with a
crazy person. Ow Joe Strucker, our executive producer, find out
(00:55):
what's uppen.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
It's already it's only twenty seconds into this.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Going on in our website at Ron Wilson online dot
com facebook page. In the Garden with Ron Wilson. Good morning, sire,
Morning sire. Yes, it is crazy. It is a very
important day today is it's all you know, there's stuff
going on today. You got stuff, you know, like in Cincinnati,
got the big Flying Pig tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
There's tons of things happening in Cincinnati. And we're we're located. Yeah,
I in the marathon. Huge Reds are in town. Interesting
if you want to go to Reds.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Game Monday is Sinco de Mayo. He still cracks me up.
They don't celebrate that in Mexico, but we sure do
in the United States. Yeah, y grate a great thing
to party. Absolutely, And of course today we got to
Kentucky Derby later on this afternoon.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Like that, we're in muddy as heck. Yeah, it's going
to be wet. So pick a mutter.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Twenty horses, which is ridiculous and a muddy track. You
might as well flip a coin. Yeah, I mean really,
I mean it's twenty horses, you might as well flip
a coin. Anyway. I know their favorites and I know
blah blah blah. But seriously, that's just you put those
two together and I don't know, it could be pretty crazy.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
It is going to be uh, unpredictable, as it always is. Yeah,
well it really is. You know, if a favor wins,
it's to me, I think it's almost unusual anymore. But
I know you've got your picks. I've got my picks. Well, uh,
we'll do that here. We'll talk about that in a second.
But yeah, and then of course today is today is
May third, and that means it is the third of May.
(02:29):
World Naked Gardening Day.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Naked gardening Day.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Are you celebrating, no wonder, you're not wearing anything.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Yeah, so you get so kind of shirt off. But yeah,
no pants. Uh so yeah, garden all day drinking. Uh
you know meant julips and uh naked in the garden
and then take a shower and get ready for the
Kentucky Derby this night late?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Were they running it right before seven or something? Yeah,
it's like right before seven later every year. And another thing,
it is now that we're in May, it's time to
take your you can walk out barefoot.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
That's right. The Streker family can now go out barefoot
into the grass.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Not just a Strucker family. But it's an old wives tale.
But can you say that anymore?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
But you say it? Go ahead?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
How about an adage?
Speaker 1 (03:20):
It's Jay strekker at don't do that. Well, I've never
heard of that till you till you told me so.
I always call it this struker Okay, we'll call the
striker rule rule. Yes, it has to have a name
to it. I'm a striker rum, I'm a striker rule.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
It's an adage that she brought over from that she
heard when she was little, so she gets credit for it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I think it's cool, very cool. I like those kind
of things.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
So we got some rain this week.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
And she's not an old wives tale it's jama that's true.
There you go.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
We've got some rain this week.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
I got some rain this week, got it yesterday, getting
it today again under marrow. Did you like that ident?
Text you a couple of text a couple of times
this week about thunder. We're getting thundered at our house,
how about you. Yeah, I'm hearing over here too. It's great.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
It was great because and my thunder is usually before
yours because.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
The well, the way it comes up, the way it
comes up. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
So, but but monday grass was cut, so you got
it just in time, just in time for the week
of wet weather. Now I got lake Strucker in the backyard.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yeah. So how I have asked you just before, how
do your dogs react to the thunder? Because our dogs,
and she wants to kind of get close to you,
kind of around. What is that? We have four dogs. Uh,
the oldest one, Fritz, the be Sean, he's scared, but
he's scared of everything. He's scared of his own shadow.
But the other three they really don't care about thunder.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Now. Fireworks are a different thing. Yeah, Oh yeah, Fritz
and Chewie will we'll dive under the bed. We have
to give them CBD. The chilling dog gummys to calm
him down, but Hans doesn't care. And Busters, you know,
(05:10):
he's not that very he's not that smart, so I
really don't think he knows what's going on.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Yeah Hans is It seems that that's way he would be. Yeah,
he's just like, oh.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Okay, whatever, I'm going to go over here and run
around and bring you another toy. He does do that
all the time. But yeah, they don't care. Yeah, they
don't really bother them.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Cool for the most part. Cool.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Now when they want to go outside and open up
the door and it's raining, that's a totally different story.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Some go, some don't.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Or well, because I have a covered patio, and the
covered patio is like, I don't know, about eight feet
from the door. Okay, So usually when I open up
the door, they go sprinting because they want to go
chase the squirrels or the rabbit or whatever. And they'll
go out sprinting and then they'll get to the edge. Well, Buster,
since he's not that smart, he'll just sprint out and
(06:08):
just go out into the yard and then he'll realize
it's raining and then come back. But the other don't
sprint out and as soon as they hit the end
of the patio, nails screeching. I don't think so yeah
on the porch.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Then you had to get the hose. Yeah, rent it off.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
It's fine.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
At least they do that, not in the house. But
I didn't say I didn't do it in the house.
I know at least they did that one that time.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeah, so so yeah, so we got the grass cut. Cool?
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Still, uh your banana coming up? What ours is it?
It's been pretty cool, not yet. I still haven't even
trimmed off west. She probably haven't even have looked.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
I was going to say, well, because of some health issues,
I haven't been able to get out and look around.
But no, it's not coming up. I actually did look
a couple of days ago, and it's uh no, it's
there's nothing there. Maybe one pup is kind of kind
of peeking out, or it was a weed. You're not sure,

the signage at the outlet or retail and it can
be very frustrating because you're like, you know, I need
to get the sign, help people director or explain something
or whatever. And you do these signs and you make
them big and everything and they're very easy to read
and nobody notices them. Yeah, you're like, but if you

favorite rose, which I still have mine in my front yard,
great rose, and it blooms every year. And I don't
even favorite thing. Don't generally pruvene the thing, I'd barely
any of it, but this one it's still it's still.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
I was walking through our roses the other day and
I thought, you because you used to have uh.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Well, I used to have a whole bunch of roses.
I used to have a big rose.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
All those roses that we had, Gina Little, I still

Ketchup and Mustard, I was my favorite. We had the Pope,
we had all call all those things in there.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Yeah. Well, now that life has changed a little bit,
maybe I'll get back to doing you quite a collection. Yeah,
I had a lot. I had like ten different roses
in my yard. But like I said, now life has
changed a little bit, maybe I could be like, maybe
they'll be back, be back. And the third one is
the Petite Knockout. Yes, there's a petit and I mean
(12:25):
there's a whole bunch of I mean roses are there's
so many of them.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
I know. And then of course Monday is Sinkle Demayo,
and there is a rose called Sinco Demyo and it's
very not they're very close to that easy does it.
It's a little bit it's got more reds and things
in it, but it's very close to that as well.
So that's another one if you're interested, and I put
it down there as an honorable mention.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Here you go.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
But yes, Sinkle Demayo.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
In the remaining about two minutes, we got maybe who
you picking?
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Who am I picking? Yep? Again, might as well flip
a coin with a muddy track and all that and
twenty horses. But for my long shot, yeah, I'm picking
Flying Mohawk, which reason.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I knew you were gonna do that. I'm gonna do
American promise, American promise. Did you write this down? No,
I'm not writing it down because I was like, looking back,
I thought flying Mohawk because that sounds like a name
you'd have if you were a professional wrestler. Yeah, to
show I've got citizen bull. Mine was going to be.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Where is it? I think it was final judgment, Final judgment.
I think they're thirty to one too, and the winter
because I like Johnny, he's a great jockey. Is grande?
Speaker 2 (13:39):
No, final judgment got scratched, so I gotta pick it different. Oh,
gotta pick a different one. Now, Render judgment, Render judgment.
That's what it was, Number fifteen, Rendered judgment thirty to one, Okay,
And in your winner My winner is journalism. Journal it's
a favorite. And you're only doing that because you're in
the business. Yeah, why not everybody I've talked to it
(14:00):

Speaker 1 (14:01):
Journalism? So I took Grande, and actually, when after I
did more research on Grande because I like Johnny the
quet violin Quez. That horse has done really well. And
what tracks there you go?
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Who Ron Wilson says, put one hundred on Grande.

Grande and then you'll get a Gronde. Tell you what
to bet because Ron Wilson is not a bat. Put

folks that you would never expect come up with something.
You're like, I didn't know you were into that or
checked that. During the break, Danny Gleason let me know
the Durango Kid our producer, mister Noah All, smart man,
(19:04):
he does. He's way out there, he knows his stuff.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Said just some people say I'm just way out there.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Well yeah, but he just pushed the button down and said,
Grande got scratched yesterday. Now I never knew Dan followed
the Kentucky Derby. I didn't know Dan followed the horses.
He never said anything about it. And right during the
break Grande got scratched yesterday. Wow, that was my pick.
(19:32):
So thank you Dan for letting me know that. So
now I've got to go with Bosse. And Bosse was
kind of an alternate. It was twenty there's a twenty
one horse if somebody got scratched, so he was in
anyway for I think the two other ones got scratched too,
And I like that because now we're getting down to
like seventeen or eighteen horses, makes you odds a little
bit better on a muddy track. But so I'm switching.
(19:53):
So if you went for Grande Hell, he can't because
he's a he got scratched. Thank you Danny Glease and
the Durango kid for letting me know. Yes, so it's
a basse Bosse is my pick to win. We'll see
what happens. He actually was a pretty from what I saw,
was a pretty good horse, so I'm glad he got
into the race. But anyway, it's sometimes it's just things
like that, You're like, what I did? You followed? Did
(20:16):
you know? You know? I didn't. I didn't ask. I
just said thank you very much. So it's just some

Speaker 1 (23:08):
Talking to your yardening at eight hundred eight two three eight
two five five. Good morning, I am Ron Wilson, your
personal yard boy. On this naked World Naked Gardening Day.
It's always the first Saturday in May, so you can always.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Just put some close on run please please.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
This is this is It's right. It's not World Naked
Radio Show Day, right, yes, yeah, gardening days. So anyway,
and uh, it was It's funny. They even put out
a list of the top five cities that that you
want to go to and the worst five cities. And
obviously the worst are up in the northern areas like
anchor Is, Alasta, places like that. But anyway, and it's
(23:43):
Derby Day and I can't believe they're running at seven
o'clock in the afternoon in the evening. That's kind of
late for me. But uh, anyway, that's kind of happened.
I got your picks. Uh, you know, it's always the
run for the roses, and if you like roses, my
two picks are three picks are on the Planet of
the Week at our website at Ron Wilson line dot com.
I have Cinco de Mayo, which has been around long time.
(24:04):
Really cool flora bunda rose, great colors, a little bit
of fragrance to it as well. But that would be
for Monday for Cinco de Mayo, and then I have
for today it would be easy does It. See that'd
be a great name for a horse, Easy does It,
which is my absolute favorite rows of all roses. It's
a Flora bunda and it's a wonderful peach coral uh colors,
(24:29):
ruffled petals, good fragrance. Uh, just absolutely wonderful. I don't
know anybody that's ever planted uh that easy does It rose.
It did not like it, say with Sinco de mayo,
same way. And I also threw in there, uh, the
petit knockout rose, I like. I like that rose. I'm
telling you you want a rose that will flower all
(24:49):
summer long, smaller flower, but it's in the knockout family,
so it's a it's a it's a hybrid between a knockout,
the double knockout and a miniature rose. And nice and
tight dark green, lush foliage, really brilliant, nice red fall
or red fall red flowers, small but lots of them,
(25:10):
and it's great and you can do it in containers,
do it as a small hedge, spot them here and
there throughout the landscape. But petite knockout rose absolutely wonderful.
But those are my three roses for the run for
the roses it picks this weekend, so be sure and
check those out as well, and you can get that
as our website at Ron Wilson online dot com. Now
talking about next weekend is Mother's Day weekend, right Sunday
(25:33):
is Mother's Day. Why wait until next weekend to get
out and get taking care of mom, because you know,
moms love things from the garden. They love things from
and for the garden. If she's a gardener, she loves
things at you know, new gloves and new pruners, and
new watering can and a moisture meter. She loves all
that kind of stuff, new hummingbird feeder, you know, that
(25:55):
type of thing. But she also loves things that you know,
our gifts for the garden and so container plantings like I,
you know, do my mom. I do plant all of
her tomato plants, and she gets her dragon wing bogonia
hanging basket and do a couple of other planters as well,
and loves it. And that's she counts on that every year.
And sometimes I get it done my Mother's Day weekend.
(26:16):
Sometimes it's a little later, depending on how busy you are,
but you know it's a that's what she likes. And
so you know, if you're if it's it's a rainy
weekend this week in our area, maybe it is in
your area as well. If it is and you're looking
for something to do as far as gardening, getting your
containers ready and planted, because you could do those, you know,
set up a house in the garage and do all
(26:38):
your container planting. Get out to your local independent garden center.
Take your umbrella, and a lot of them are covered.
So I mean you go to a lot of garden
centers today. They've gotten smart. They do a lot of
covering so you can go out there and shop in
any kind of weather. Get out there and start to
take a look because they're stocked there. It's full boar here.
Ain't no looking back. We're planting, you know, we're going forward,
(27:00):
and you know, get everything picked out from not only
your house, hanging baskets for your house. You could do
that now. And what you're gonna do for mom? And
think about for mom? Does she want a rose? Look
at that the easy does or look at the Petit rose,
the Petit knockout, or the sink of Demayo, or maybe
you do a container planter for does mom like to cook,
(27:21):
does she like to use fresh herbs? Make her an
herb planter. I think that's one of the outside to me,
a great planter. And you get to get yourself an
eighteen inch twenty inch planter, even if you just use
the black nursery pots, which are fairly inexpensive. Let the
plants do the talking. Let let the pot fade into
the background. That's the way I look at it, because
I use a lot of those. And think of the
(27:43):
herbs that mom likes to use fresh and for cooking,
And you can potter up a really nice herb garden
and a large container, put that on the back patio, deck,
the porch, whatever it may be, that she would have
fresh herbs right at her fingertips right outside that or
moms love that one. That's a good one. And if
she just, you know, maybe she'd just always use basil,
(28:05):
do a whole thing of maybe two or three types
of basil uh in one big container. But herb planters
are absolutely outstanding, all right, So what about pollinator planters?
If mom likes a little dinner and a show. So
you've got nice flowers that are doing growing, and the
pollinators will come to it as well. Then think of
your pollinator plants. I mean you can you milkweed. Milkweed
(28:29):
will grow nicely in a container, So you can look
at milkweed as far as playing milky milk weed in
a container, and then surround it with Rebeccia annuals that
love that the that the that the pollinators love. That
will be flowering all summer long, because the milkweed is
going to take a while before it starts to flour.
So do a combo in there and perennials annuals and
(28:49):
the milkweed. All right, and now she's got a pollinator planter.
Now that's pretty darn cool. So you show up now
think about it an herb planter with all of her favorites,
or you show up with a pollinator planter with all
the pollinator's favorites. And of course, if it's a pollinator favorite,
that means it's going to be in flour. Something in
there's going to be in flour all the time. As
(29:11):
we get toward the mid to the latter part of
the summer, than of course, the butter of the b
butterfly weed milk weed starting to come into flour as well.
What a great thing there, and as the pollinators come
to that, not only does she get the the great
look of all of the flowers, but she's also seeing
the butterflies and the bees and all the other pollinators,
(29:32):
you know, hummingbirds showing up and using that pollinator planter.
Great way to do that. And maybe you do a
couple of them on the patio. Maybe you do one
of her planter and a pollinator planner. And of course
you can just do a regular planter with filled with perennials.
You can do a regular planter filled with annuals, whatever
it may be, or go the vegetable roud doing nice
(29:55):
planters with tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and you know there so
many great dwarf vegetables available today. Like if you want
to do tomatoes, now, do I do some indeterminates indeterminates
so they know I have to stak them up, you know,
six seven foot cages because they'll fill that up. But
there are bush and dwarf varieties, determinate varieties of cherry
(30:20):
tomatoes and others as well as a matter of fact,
what I'm going to be trying for the first time
this year, weird name is big dwarf tomato. It's a
big beef steak tomato, but it's a dwarf plant gets
about thirty thirty six inches high and wide. Perfect for containers.
But again think about that. You could do you know,
some tomatoes, peppers. Yep, maybe you do a pepper, couple
(30:42):
of peppers and some basil in a container. I do
the tomatoes with basil at the bottom. One tomato, twenty
gallon pot, twenty five gallon pot with basil at the base.
Basil and tomatoes are great to grow together. It's a
perfect planter. So those are things you could get out
to your local owned independent garden centers this weekend if
(31:02):
the weather's not good in your area, all right, and
get mom taken care of. Get them plotted up and
planted and ready to go this weekend so you're not
fighting the traffic next weekend because it's been rainy, Folks
have been holding back. It's going to be kind of
rainy this weekend. Uh, And it looks like it's going
to start to clear out next week. Well, if it
does that, it's going to be crazy in the locally
(31:26):
owned independent garden centers, right, So take advantage of this.
These two days today and tomorrow, and get your hanging baskets,
and get your annuals, and get your vegetables, and get
mom taken care of. Get them all plotted up and
ready to go, so you don't have to mess with
that next weekend you can spend more time with mom.
What a great idea. Before we take a break. Dick
(31:48):
from Dayton, good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (31:51):
I am great? Are you happy with your red legs?

Yes, yes, they're doing good. Take it out. Just thinking
of going back my aunt and in north Ridgeville and
my cousin Carla in Olmestead, Yes, and my uncle Carl.
They were gardeners. And I always think of my aunt,
you know, and uh on Mother's Day in Carla because
then my grandmother in Wllington had that big oh yard
(32:16):
and all tomatoes, you know, peppers, grapes. I mean you
miss it, you know, Oh sure, yeah, she was even
in the heart weather. She would wait, you know, till
about six seven o'clock. And boy, I tell you, they
used to bring like tomatoes and zuccini and fruit. You
miss all that stuff, you know?
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Oh yeah, you know what though, you know, don't forget
you could do container gardening at your house kind of
bring back those memories. Oh yeah, you might want to
think about that.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Yeah, and uh, I got to play in the strummers
this week.
Speaker 1 (32:50):

good morning, Hi Ron, how are you, Stella? I'm doing great?
How about yourself?
Speaker 7 (35:48):
I'm doing good. I need to replace some laribi that
have gotten really large and the zoisa grass has grown
into them and they're really ugly. I was wondering if
I cut the bottom of the pots off to restrict
the growth, do you think they'll survive and just plant
the whole pod?
Speaker 1 (36:07):
So you want to keep them contained, yes, and.
Speaker 7 (36:10):
The grass from growing into them.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
They will for a while. But the problem is, you
know the way the rioty grows, you know what, it's
going to fill that in very quickly. So after a
couple of year period, you know it's going to fill
that up. Now, if you use a what you could
do is go in there and do a even a
larger one, do like a two or three gallon pot
and take the bottom out of it and basically all
you're doing is trying to create that barrier around it
(36:35):
from growing in. But yeah, you could do that. It's
just that you're going to have to probably adjust them
every now and then because they'll just fill it up.
One thing I could suggest for you that you might
want to try is have you ever tried any of
the over the top sprays? No?
Speaker 7 (36:52):
What are they?
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Okay? Because one of my notes today is I had
somebody actually send me an email this week with pictures
of their little and they said, look, we got this
grass that continues growing into the loriiope. I can't get
it out. I pull it, I do everything I can,
and see it still keeps coming back up. And their
question was I just take all the loriope out, kind
of go through a hand weed all the grass out
(37:14):
and replant it, or what would you do? I said,
you know what's interesting is there's a couple of products
on the market they're called over the top sprays, and
they only kill grass. They don't kill anything else, they
don't kill other kinds of weeds. They only kill grass,
and you can spray them over the top of a
ton of different desirable landscape plants, including the wriope and
(37:36):
Theriope is not a grass, so it can be used
over top. Now it takes a couple applications, but it
does a pretty decent job to get rid of the
grasses while the warriopy is still growing and works, you know,
right around it. And of course you got to wait
till that' zoysur or whatever grass is creeping in there
is green. But once it greens up, you know, as
(37:57):
soon as you see it, use that as an over
the top spray fertilo slash high yield. They have the
one that's called over the straight. That's what it's called
over the top, and then I think I think bonnydes
is called grass be Gone, but it's the same chemical
and it and and again it's safe for almost all
(38:18):
your landscape plants even some some vegetables as well. But
read the label. They've got quite a large listing of
things that they've tested it on that you can use.
But that's that's something you might want to take a
look at before you get involved with doing the in
the container thing. So an answer to your question, could
you do that? Yeah, and that does work, And you
know for mints in my nts, you know, ments have
(38:40):
been I've always said meant to be grown in a
container to try to keep controlled. But you get into
something that has a lot of rooting like that, you
put a barrier around it. A lot of times you
can keep it uh in control. So I know you're
trying to keep the grass out, but yeah, that does work.
But try to check with your local independent garden centers
and tell you wanted over the top spray to kill
(39:01):
that kills grass only in your landscape. And again Fertilo
over the top or Bonneyde's grass be gone.
Speaker 7 (39:11):
What about round up?
Speaker 1 (39:12):
Then no, because roundup would kill the loriope.
Speaker 7 (39:16):
Oh okay, So see this product. I'm going to plant
them into the ground. It's not going to be a
container plant, but.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
It would have the container around it.
Speaker 7 (39:28):
Right, It'll be the pot that it comes in, right,
and I'll just cut the bottom off.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
Yeah, well that works. I'm agreeing with you that that
that can work. But what I'm saying is, over time
is that the loriopy will fill up that pot and
now it's so root bound, you know, it's hard to
keep it watered. You need it. You'll have to go
in there and separate it out. It only takes a
couple of years the way they grow to fill that
pot up. So can you do that? Absolutely? I'm agreeing
with you on that. I'm just saying that down the
(39:54):
road you're probably gonna have to pull those out of
the pot, kind of separate them out, replant it because
it gets so tight with the root system. But but
try me over the top and again, like I said,
it may take you a couple applications, but it does work.
And that's a great way in groundcover and things like
that to get grasses out that you just can't seem
(40:15):
to stop.
Speaker 7 (40:17):
Okay, but only so it's too early then for tho
zo oyster grass until well it's starting to green up
a little here, right.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
But it's got to be yes, it needs to be
actively growing for that to work.
Speaker 7 (40:27):
Okay, that sounds good. Okay, thank you very much your show.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
Thank you. I appreciate your listening, appreciate the call. And
that's great that I got that, because it's interesting. I
have right here in my left hand a picture of
a of a bed of loriope sometimes called monkey grass
loriope very guely ripe, and grass is growing up through
it and it can be very frustrating, and you know,
what do you do? And again, these over the top
(40:53):
sprays or they've tested them on quite a few and
if you don't see what you're trying to spray it
on on the label, then I just suggest that you
get it. Spray it just a little bit on a
part of the plant, just you know, a little bit,
just to test it. Give it a couple of days,
see what happens. If it doesn't do anything to it,
you're good to go. And it's amazing what you can
(41:14):
spray over the top of using that fertilom's over the
top or Bonneyes I believe it's Boneyes is called the
grass be Gone, but it does take a couple applications
between that, and of course you know grass will also
seed and throw seed into there and pre emerge in obicides.
You should be good to go, and it's an easy
way to do it, so keep those in mind, especially
(41:35):
like you got juniper's groundcover iris. This As a matter
of fact, my wife's grandmother used to be a commercial
iris grower and every year she would buy the fuselade
which is what the chemical is, and a professional like
a one gallon two gallon container that she would use
with they're iris to keep the grass out of it.
You can spray it right over the top of the
iris plants, and we used to give her a gal
(41:57):
of that for Christmas. She loved it because it was.
Speaker 5 (42:01):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (42:01):
So we used to do that that's and she used
it all the time. So it's amazing what it's labeled for.
But again over the top by fertilo grass be gone
uh by bonnaye. Check both of those out. I think
you will you will like that.
Speaker 5 (42:16):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (42:16):
By the way, talking about planting and landscape beds, don't
forget as you're working in your landscape beds around the
house wherever they may be, every time you go out
there to edge, take it a little bit further, take
it out bed a little bit further. You know, bigger
beds look better. So many times you look at the
landscape beds around the house and they've got those cut
four feet away from the house, five feet away from
the house, plants all crammed in there up against the foundation.
(42:40):
Bring that bed out. The deeper you bring that bed out,
the more depth you give that landscape, the better it's
gonna look from the street and on the in the yard.
And you're taking up more and more of the grass
less grass for you to mow do nice sweeping lines.
So it's easy for you to mow around the edges.
And then when you get in there and mulch. As
(43:00):
soon as you're done mulching and you've got all your
planting done, you've fluffed the mulch, you've reapplied, done whatever
you need to do. Come back with a pre emergent herbicide.
All right, and dimension is a great one. You know
that the prene products are out there, but a pre
emerge and if you want to go natural corn gluten
meal works nicely, Sprinkle that in your beds, Water it
in and now you've got a pre emerged herbicide to
(43:22):
help keep the weeds seeds from growing in there. The
beds are deeper, they look better, the mulch is nice
and fluffed just the right depth. You're good to go.
But keep that pre emergent in mind because it really
does help you in the long run when it comes
to weeding during the summer season. Quick break, We come
back in our next hour. Rita Hikenfell's going to join us.
We've got to talk about herbs and still rooms. Have
(43:44):
you ever heard of that are still rooms? You're gonna
talk about that just in time for Mother's Day weekend,
and then at the bottom of the hour, our favorite
ball lady Peggy and Montgomery will join us. We'll talk
about those summer bulbs all happening here in the garden
with Ron Wilson.
Speaker 4 (44:15):
Landscaping ladies, ear with your personal yard boy. He's in
the garden and he's Ron Wilson.
