(00:48):
producer as well. Find out what's going on in his life.
Of course, our website at Ron Wilson online dot com
Facebook page. In the garden with Ron Wilson and the Joe.
It's Danny's on vacation. It's a pleasure to have you back.
It was three weeks ago we had you. Yeah, something
like that. Wow, it's a pleasure. Yeah, I know, it's
like riding a bike. I guess, of course it is.
(01:10):
Nothing changes, it's still it's still the same. So how's uh,
how's there anything this week? Was it hot enough for you?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Yeah, I know it's not hot enough for you. I'm sure.
I know you know you really like the warmer weather.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Tell you what, there was a couple of days, like
Wednesday Thursday of this week where it was just like, ugh, uh,
you know, I like it hot, but my goodness, that's
all I can say. Yeah, it was, it was. It
was pretty bad Wednesday Thursday.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
So you just have to kind of wipe it out
of your head, you know, you just kind of walk out.
So you just get out there and say, okay, forget it.
You gotta deal with it. It's not going to change.
Just deal with it. And then you're like, not, I'm done.
But yeah, but this kind of weather does definitely wipes
you out. I would. I got a late afternoon I
(02:02):
went out and was doing some clean up with some
Grolo Sumax and kind of edge in the bed, and
I was gonna plant. I still got a few more
things to plant flower wise, and I'll tell you what.
After about forty minutes, I was done. I just said,
I can't. I'm not doing this is stupid. I usually
can handle that. It doesn't usually bother me. Boy, it
just wiped me. You're like, right wiped me out.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Yeah, it was. You know, my grass really needs to
get cut, but this week it was just so bad.
I mean, just walking outside was just bad.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
So well, and you know what, when it's hot like that,
sometimes it's best just to let your lawn alone and
not even turn the more on. Let it just sit
there because it's not going to really grow a whole
lot when the heats like this. It just kind of
sit there, let it go and cools down a little bit.
Then you get back out there and you mow it.
So you made the right decision for both of you.
So I have the blessing of you to not cut
(02:56):
my grass the rest of the summer. No, I didn't
say that, we get it. You just said if it's
really really hot, really extreme hot temperatures. Yeah, but hey,
you're in Cincinnati. Cincinnati, you get five days of hot
weather then it breaks. You can always count on a
break and you get a cool front to come through,
and then we go back up again and a cool
front comes through. It just seems to ninety nine percent
(03:18):
of the time gives us a nice break, you know,
just the time to mow the grass. You know.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
I think we need an expert to talk about this, really, Yeah,
do you know anybody? I don't know, Maybe Ron Rothause
in about an hour, you think you'll you think he
would want to talk to us about the weather.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I know.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Maybe we'll try him and we'll see if he's awake,
all right, and we'll we'll see if we can get
him on Okay, all right, that's fair.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Can we ask him what to do about the trees?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Now?
Speaker 1 (03:45):
If the cicadas are pretty well done, we can ask
him that too. Did you have any at all at
your house? Any cicadas? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:51):
No, just I mean the usual ones that you hear
at night chirping. But we didn't have like any But
you didn't have or anything.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Of this brew seventeen that came out, now, okay, I
didn't have anything in my house. Okay, well they already
they took out all my trees, so I don't have
anything for them to hang out next to it. Still,
every time I see the cicada damage, I think of
your cherry tree out in front of your house. Man.
They just hammered that thing. Yeah, it just never came back. Nope,
(04:24):
it didn't die, but it just never recovered. Yeah, so
it so it had to go. I mean here at
the radio station, it was you know, there was some
mornings where it was it was almost apocalyptic, but other
than that, I didn't really feel anything. Yeah, they were
screaming like we got it. Nursery around around our nursery,
my mom's house, you know, out that that area of
(04:46):
b there's some pockets that were just unbelievable. It was
fun watching they're doing a lot of construction work out
road construction work out by the nursery, and it was
fun to go up to this one intersection where there
were a ton of them and watch the workers because
they'd be doing it. All sudden you see a polar
hat off start jumping around like the bees rolling with
cicadas up inside their hats and stuff. So well, you did.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
You see the story about the warnings about uh people
riding rides at King's Island is supposed to keep your
mouth shut, No, you didn't see that, No.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
And they did. They got hammered with them.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
There was a couple of new stories of telling people, hey,
when you ride the rides, when you're especially on the
roller coasters, to keep your mouth shut. Don't man you
one of those things smack you when you're on that
on the beast.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
That could inflict a little damage a little bit. Yeah,
I wouldn't want to swamp. It was a lot of funny.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
There was a lot of funny TikTok videos of people
getting attacked by cicadas at at King's Island and everyone's
freaking out and flipping out, and and there was that.
There was a did you see the story about the
car accident too?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
You told me about that? Yeah I didn't. I didn't
see it, but you told me about it.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Flew in the person's window and and instead of paying
attention they're driving, they're swatting at the at the cicada
and they ended up turning their car over crazy.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
So again that's another situation where there's a there's an
insect and I know they're big and they're just ugh
and if they sit on you, you're like, oh my god,
I mean it's a huge fly type of thing. But
you know they can't bite you. They have no mouth.
They're ugly, they're ugly, but you know they're not gonna
hurt you. So you gotta stay calm in a situation
like that. And I see more people running and screaming
(06:26):
and like those traffic work or the yeah, the construction
guys in that, it's like, chill out, man, I mean,
they're not they can't do anything to you. Yeah, they're
not gonna lay eggs on you. Just grab their wings
and flip them off. Go well, not flip them, yeah,
flip them off. Flick them off. I'm sorry, off, not
flip them off. You can do that too, well, you
flip them off, you can, but just flick them off.
(06:47):
Then they're good to go. You're gonna fly away somewhere else.
So the website Ron Wilson online dot com, along with
the Facebook page in the Garden with Ron Wilson and
on the Facebook page the chat room is up and running.
So if you want to this week's cool new graphic,
go ahead and check that one out. Who was that
guy in there last week? Last week?
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Yeah, I mean two weeks ago, two weeks ago, two
weeks ago was uh, that was me growing?
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Was that you? That was me growing? Did you see
my sandals and socks? Oh? Yeah, oh me. I have
never done that, but grilled the sandals of the socks.
I grill all the time. I get grilled all the time.
You never done sandals and socks? No, hm, you have.
(07:35):
I'm assuming sure about that. Yes, even as a child, Okay, okay,
I'll take your word for it. Even there's no pictures,
I'll take your word for it. Now. I grew up
in that era with the water buffalo sandals. The water
what's that? Well, it was made out of water buffalo
skin and they were you know, I think they probably
made an India somewhere, and then they had one strap
(07:56):
that went across your toe and one strap that went
around the other side. They were real lightweight, and you
get them wet purposely and then wear them and they
kind of fit to your foot. But that was like
the thing in the early seventies was a water buffalo sand.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Early seventies, what eighteen seventies, water buffalo skin with that.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Heck man, it was part of that hippie okay, sown
earthy yeah, earthy huh yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Well on, well, on the website. There's the first thing
is there's a tick test that Ohio.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
The jr Z should take. TikTok.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Yeah, it's the TIC test from the Ohio. What's it
called from It's it's the bucket, it's buggy Joe from
the high extend the extensions you extension. Yeah, And it's
a great thing because and I'm surprised that other places
haven't come up with this, but they actually had. Now,
if you have a tick that's attached to you, you
(08:58):
can you know, you know how to remove it, pull
it off. You can actually put that in a baggie
and all that. They'll they show you how to do
it and send it to them, and they can tell
you what kind of ticket it is and whether or
not it actually has any diseases that you may have
gotten from the tick. But they can tell you right away.
And I thought that's a pretty cool thing to do.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Huh. So now you know you don't have to you know,
you don't kind of just second guess. They test it
right away and can tell you for sure if it's
a yay or an a cool yeah, plus what kind
it is. So yeah, that's you need you need to
know that, and you need to know because you never
you pull that thing off. You're just never sure did
I get anything? Did I not get anything? Then every
(09:38):
time something happens to you, it's like you think you
get something from the tick. But it's a new service
from the from OSUE. And you can go to Buckeye
the Buckeye Garden Line byg I dots you dot edu
or to our website at royn Wilson online dot com.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Also, even though it's one hundred and five degrees in
the in the in the shade here there's a posting
about native plants for the summer.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
No kidding, Yeah, where's that? I need a refreshing you
need to refresh it finally popped up. Oh good. Yeah.
As a matter of fact, we're going to have the
gentleman on Bill de Boor is going to join us
today and talk about native plants for hot native plants,
colors for the summer, a great group of shrubs that
you can consider using.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
So yeah, check out that list and follow along when
he gets on here later.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Yeah. I always fun talking with Bill, and yeah, and
it's very nice to supply the list and thank you
for putting it on there. Yes, you're welcome. Rita's making pickles.
What's in the jar? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
You have to check it out. You have to go
to the website click on and see what's in the jar?
What is she?
Speaker 1 (10:40):
What is she pickling? That's the question. What is she pickling?
That is the question.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
And if you know, go to the chat room and
and and let us know.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
I see, I'm trying to refresh. I'm sorry, but.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
That's a sure. But it's a Rita's recipe for pickling.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
And it's that time, yes, And I would imagine it's
too early yet for the uh pepper pickled pepper recipe
for my mom, because the peppers haven't even really started
to develop too much yet. But we'll get you that
as we get closer to that one as well. But
this is a great pickling recipe and it's kind of
a little play on the jar pickle that Joe's sense
of humor on the front page there.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
And there's a there's a couple of plants of the
week this week. The first one. The first one is
butterfly weed, yes, or milkweed or milk weed, which is
a good for the monarchs, which is good for the
monarchs all the butterflies and pollinators in general. And if anything,
you're reading right now about saving the butterflies, saving the pollinators,
(11:43):
saving the bees. The one plant that comes to the
top of the list to plant anywhere containers whatever is
would be butterfly bush or butterfly weed or milk weed.
And there are many different types that you can plant,
including annual and tropical types. There are native species for
your particular state. But they are the cats mew when
it comes to pollinators, and of course they're pretty cool
(12:07):
with the flower too, so uh and they're out there.
Your garden centers all have them now, many different selections
to choose from.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Uh, so be sure and check out. But uh yeah,
it's one of those planet and they will come, trust me,
they will.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
And the second plane of the week is the bottle
brush buckeye.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yep. And we did that for a reason because you're
a buckeye Nope, because well yeah, but the arbor doct
ron Roth has sent us a picture of his and
it's in flower and he said, man, talk about a
great plant pick of the week. I said, okay, we'll
do that for you. Well, so there he not only
is he I'm not going to try to get him
(12:43):
on for next hour. He's also contributing to the Plants
of the Week. I guess you don't need me anymore. No,
you still have that. We have to have somebody to
post it. It's true, yeah, true, But yeah, that's a
that's a really that's a shrub form of a buckeye
and a really nice plant. Way under using the landscape.
All right, let's get started. Is that it? That's it?
A couple. Joe's done a couple. Joe's done. Out of here.
(13:05):
I'm out of here now, No, no two cup huh?
All right, Joe Strecker, executive producer. If you like what
you see on our website at Ron Wilson online dot com,
Facebook page in the Garden with Ron Wilson, Joe Strecker
had everything to do with it. Something on there you
don't like, Maybe you're questioning, maybe it shouldn't be on there.
Not my fault. Don't blame Joe. Let's blame doctor Z
Washington d C riding around his vest bunk that was
(13:28):
around the back, still on the back, not in the
sidecart that the sweet church would be on the back.

But that's the way it goes. Thank you, Joe, Yes,
and fun working with you this morning. Can't wait, so
join me in between all of our guests and our callers.
All right. Eight hundred eight two three eight two five

Speaker 1 (14:23):
Hey, the Kent County Extension has got a great class
coming up Tuesday, July twenty ninth at their Marshall Road location.
They've got three classes, two them on Tuesday and one
on August the seventh. How do you use and care
for rain barrels?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Now?
Speaker 1 (14:35):
It's for Kenton County residents only, all right, So, but
for twenty five bucks and class attendant, you can go
home with a rainbarrow to stall for your to water
with and learn more about how to use rain barrels.
Let them know you're coming eight five nine three five
six three five one one. Welcome back here in the
garden with Ron Wilson again that toll free number eight
(14:56):
hundred eight two three eight two five five talking about
your hardening and Najoe and I. They are going over
the plants of the weak, and of course asclepias or
milk weed or butterfly weed definitely at the top of
the list. Now when it comes to pollinator plants, it
is the one. And the thing about asclepias using those
varieties is the fact that they are an all purpose
(15:19):
pollinator plant, especially for the butterflies, because the butterflies will
not only enjoy the nectar, but they also lay their
eggs on these plants, the larvae feet on the leaves,
so they're gonna eat some of your plants. That way
it goes, but that's what it's all about. And continue
on and of course do their crystalis and all of
that and become another butterfly. So you know, that's why
(15:41):
these are so important. And you can still plant other
pollinator plants out there, but this one really and it
attracts everything. As a matter of fact, you're a sclepias,
your butterfly weed or milk weed becomes hosts for many
other insects as well, so don't be shocked when that happens.
As a matter of fact, you will also see oleander
(16:01):
aphids show up on those pretty good sized aphen and
they love them and they're all over them. And the
kicker is you cannot spray your milk weed with anything
to get rid of the aphids without causing possible harm
to the larvae should they feed on the leaves, including
insecticidal soap, that would be the safest thing to use,
(16:25):
and you know it does the residual is a very
short period of time, but there is a chance that
that could cause some problems. So you hose it off,
you wipe your fingers over them, try to get rid
of them whatever, or you leave it alone and just
plan a lot of them, let it do its thing.
But that's gonna happen, and you're gonna see other insects
on there as well. You cannot spray these or you
will mess up the entire system. As a matter of fact,
(16:47):
when you if you're raising you know, butterflies, monarch butterflies,
whatever may be in cages, or you know, trying to
do that. You know, you know, you're you become a
big hobby now and you go out your local garden
said or maybe to buy some milk weed to supplement
to feed those caterpillars, those larvae. You know, again, ask
(17:08):
them to make sure that they haven't been treated with
an insecticide, especially the systemics. And there are some, you know,
there are some insecticides that have zero residual property. So
you spray them on there, they just don't they don't
hang on to the leaf very long at all, if
if at all strictly a contact spray. Occasionally those can
(17:30):
be used early on and growing that the milk weed.
But otherwise, you know, you want these things pretty much,
you know, with no sprays and no systemic insecticides, or
it'll take care of your your caterpillars or your you're
the larvae. So always ask and find out. And if
they buy them from someone, they may not know whether
(17:50):
they've been treated or not. But for the most part,
I think anybody that's growing them milkweeder or butterfly weed
will do their best to not spray them. The problems
and here's the problem you get into if you're a grower,
if you don't do anything to them. You will be
selling them with bugs already on them, aphids or whatever
it may be, because it's very natural. So if you
buy them, you go to your garden center and you
(18:11):
see those on there, remember that's a good sign to
show you that they aren't spraying them. They're pretty much
passed aside, free and good for your your monarch butterflies.
Eight hundred eight two three eight two five five. That's
our number here in the garden with Ron Wilson.

five KRC News Center.
Speaker 6 (19:04):
Senate debate on President Trump's massive spending bill could begin today.
Majority leader John Thune told his fellow Republicans there could
be a vote to start debate at noon Eastern. The
spending measure is facing headwinds as Republicans race against the
clock to meet Trump's July fourth deadline. On Friday, Trump added, however,
the deadline was not the end all, and that he
(19:24):
knew some Republicans are against the bill in its present
form were under a lot of pressure. President Trump says
he believes there will be an Israeli Hamas peace deal
within a week. He told reporters in the Oval Office
Friday that it's sad to see the long food lines
in Gaza filled with hungry and dying people. Trump said
he's interested in a permanent ceasefire and the release of
all the hostages Hamas still holds. Israel and Hamas have
(19:46):
been at war since October of twenty twenty three. Karen
Reid is signing a deal to develop a screen adaptation

On Sunday most of cloudy eighty eight, and on Monday
thunderstorms are likely. I have eighty six degrees seven four
nine fifty five hundred here at fifty five KRC the
(20:30):
talk station. Good morning, welcome back. You're in the garden
with Ron Wilson again that toll free number eight hundred
eight two three eight two five five talking about yarding.
Don't forget our website, Ron Wilson online dot com. Rita's
recipe is a refrigerator pickle recipe, so it's easy to do.
Put them right in a fridge and they're ready to go.
(20:50):
And of course we've got our plants in the week.
There our TIC test, I think is outstanding that the
issue extension is putting together. Now you can have the
tics tested if you get have one stuck on you
to find out what it is and of course if
it would have any UH any issues as far as
diseases or whatever. And also one last one I want
to add to the UH to the UH plants of
(21:11):
the week, and that is Golden rain tree. Golden rain tree,
cold cold Rotaria piniculata, and it is uh in some
cases in flower are just getting ready to flower right now,
and it is absolutely gorgeous. And I will talk about
that a little bit later because we're gonna go to
northern Kentucky. You talk to Steve, Steve, good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
We're on a him cold in a while. But hey,
I've got something kind of exciting. You were talking about
the tillbugs of roly Polis last week. Yes, I've always
I've always liked him is to try to feeders. They
helped turn turn the dead stuff into into fertilizer, and
they're they're important to the composers. But I did just
(21:52):
recently learn that they do they do more than they
do more than that. And there they're they're crustaceans, they're
not insects.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Right. Is that kind and that kind of interesting?
Speaker 7 (22:06):
But when they eat.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
They can live in highly toxic soils. They actually take
things like cadmium, arsenic and lead, and they can can
sort of digest it in their mid gut and and
turn it into little innert spheres. So in the essence
remove arsenic from the soil. Wow, if that's true, that
(22:33):
is that is an amazing environmental benefit of those little critters.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Yeah, and if you don't know what Steve's talking about,
we sometimes refer to as roly polly's because you touch
them up and they roll up like an armadillo, sal
bugs pill bugs. But you see sometimes you know, you
pull the mault away from your plant. That's where I
always get to. Somebody will send me an email and
they'll say, I just pulled the mult back and these
are all around and they're destroying my plants. Well, the
(22:59):
funny thing is they they really don't like the feed
on plants that much. They may get on some tender seedlings.
Sometimes if you've got fruit that's touching the ground and
it starts to decay, sometimes they can get into that.
But like Steve's saying, these things are really cool because
one they're in the crustacean family, which is shrimp and
lobsters and things like that. They have to have moisture
(23:22):
to survive, and that's why you always see them, like
if they're in the house, they're around the threshold of
the door or in the basement or whatever, because they
need moisture to survive. They have to have that moist
area and then The thing of it is is they're,
like he said, they're debris eaters. So they go through
and they clean it. They're clean up they're the cleanup crew.
(23:42):
And if they can actually get into the soil and
help clean up some of the some of the toxins
that are in the soil as well, Wow, what an
added benefit. I've never I'd never heard that before, but
that if that's true, that's that would be great.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
That's that's brand new research. And of course what was
I ga to add to that? Yeah? Where where I
tend to find a lot of them, as I've used
a lot of cardboard is like a mulch for like
garden pathways and stuff like that. You pick up that
cardboard and they're just loaded with those. They will eventually
(24:16):
eat my cardboard, so I have to bring it more cardboard.
Not a problem.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
But just cleaning up that mood, cleaning up that moist cardboard.
That's exactly right.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Yeah, so that's cool. I thought I passed it along.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
All right, Steve's good talking with you, and that's great information, man.
I appreciate it. All right, take care and again we yeah,
we were talking about those last week because I now
you know, when we have excessive moisture this time of
the year. We'll get moisture into that mault or whatever,
and you start to look and all of a sudden
you see these pill bugs or roly polleys and you
course right away start thinking that they're causing problems to
(24:51):
your plants, uh, when ninety nine point nine percent of
the time they are not. Like I said, high populations
can start chewing on some Uh, if you've got tomatoes
or something that's right at the on the ground, sometimes
they'll get into that sometimes. But they're debris eaters and
they're the cleanup crew, and you know, they're always doing
(25:12):
research on these things. And what's interesting is they are
part of the crustacean family. They have to have the moisture.
So one of the ways to get rid of them
if you have a problem with them is just pull
the mault back and let it dry out. And they
can't exist there. They've got to have that shade. They've
got to have that moisture to exist. But they're debris eaters.
They're good. They're actually a good thing ninety nine point
(25:33):
nine percent of the time. So and if that's true
with the new research out here, that's that's even more
recent to make sure those things stick around out in
the garden. I know there's no fun in the house,
but out in the garden because that's what they're there for.
West Virginia, we go Larry, Good morning, Larry.
Speaker 7 (25:52):
Oh Western Virginia. Yeah, oh Worster Okay, yeah, Hey. I
talked to you probably last months at the beginning a
month about using sheep bully, yes, yeah, and being the
grand cats. We dug out the old dirt sug laders
sheep bull on top of dirt and so forth. We
(26:14):
planted sunshine tomatoes like those oh yeah, layer of sheeple
on top of that around them and they're already up
about five feet now. So it worked out really well.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
So it's it's working well for you. I'm telling you,
this may be one of those products that we're going
to continue as more folks like yourself using not only
the sheep wool, but using the wool pellets that are
out there too. As a soil amendment. I think we're
going to see this becoming more and more as it's
becoming more and more available, more affordable, and a lot
(26:49):
more folks using it. And you know, the other thing
on top of it. They're finding out now that that
landline in that sheep wool is an excellent deterrent for
deer and habits, so you know, you get all that
benefit on top of it as well. So I appreciate
you letting us know how it's going so far. You
got to keep me updated as we go to the season.
Speaker 7 (27:09):
Well, I have to say some pictures. Yeah, it's already
in bloom. Good about that. So, yeah, lots of fruit
on the vines and I haven't had in the water
and yet of course we've had a lot of rain
for the past couple of weeks. Doing really well.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Good's that's a good one. Hey, I appreciate you. Keep
me posted. And yeah, anytime you've got a few pictures
to send to us, we'd love to see that as well,
So keep us posted. I love hearing from him. And
again he's talking about using sheep wool. If you remember
this past winter we had the wooletts on and this
is something nothing new. They've been doing it in Europe
(27:49):
for years and years and years, but they use sheep wold.
And what I did not know about sheep wall is
that there's only a certain type of sheep wool that
is in demand in the United States to use for
knitting and material and fabric and things like that, and
so otherwise all the sheep that are out there have
to get sheared. And if it's not the right sheep wool,
(28:11):
what do you do with all that sheep wool? Will
you just kind of throw it away? Well, they found
out that sheep wool actually is a great soil amendment,
a great mulch. And they also a German gardener found
a way to pelletize this, so they heat it up.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Do what.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
They've got a machine that heats it up, puts it
into a pellet form, and then you can buy it
in this pellet form and when you open it up,
it smells like wool, and so you use it as
a soil amendment. And they're finding as they're doing more
and more research about this matter of fact, I got
a gentleman it's going to be coming up here in
a couple of weeks talking more about the actual research
being done now on using wool pellets and wool in
(28:49):
the garden. But they're finding all kinds of stuff, including
the nutrient, the organic value of adding organic matter, the
repelling value of deer and rabit. It's moisture retention, like
in containers, raised beds where you want to help cut
back up. They're finding it that that does a great
job for that as well. So it's it's got a
(29:10):
lot of benefits for a product that usually gets just
tossed out because nobody wants to use it, that sheep wool.
And they are also doing research on that repelling and
they're finding out that the landlin in sheep wool lasts
longer as a deer repellent than most other repellents that
are on the market, So they're playing with that a
lot now as well. So we'll talk more about it,
(29:32):
and if you're using it, let me know, just like
he's been keeping me updated on how he's using just
a regular sheep wool. If you're doing the pellets or
the wool, let me know how it's working out for you,
because I think this is one of those things that's
going to be becoming more and more popular in our
gardens and in our containers as well. Quick break, we
come back and you're coming up next. Phone lines are
open for you at eight hundred eight two three eight

Speaker 1 (30:47):
That total free number would be eight hundred eight two
three eight two five five. Back to the gardening phone lines.
We shall go to Cincinnati and good morning.
Speaker 8 (30:57):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
How are you you hear me? Nikes, I'm good good.
Speaker 8 (31:01):
Taking advantage of a slightly cooler morning to get the
dog walks. Yes, I took advantage of your recommendation for
dwarf plants in the garden this spring and planted dwarf
cucumber and dwarf eggplants, and they are amazing great. I
happy to have them. So we've already gotten two cucumbers
(31:23):
about there's about eight or ten little eggplants hanging on
the vine.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Still excellent. Good for you. So do you are the
containers or in the ground in containers? Excellent?
Speaker 8 (31:35):
All my gardens in big, huge pots and they're working great.
The cucumbers is vining around itself and not taking over anything.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Isn't that amazing. I mean, they're doing so much work
now with these dwarf vegetables and fruits as well, berries
and fruit trees. That is phenomenal. They do so well
in containers. And you know, obviously they're smaller plants, but
their production on those are pretty dark high for the
size of the plant. It's just I think it amazes
people when they finally try them and see what you
(32:06):
really can't get out of these little plants. It's crazy,
it is.
Speaker 8 (32:10):
It's not like they're little tiny baby cucumbers like the
size of your little finger. They're a medium pized cucumber
and they taste.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Really good, good, good, well, And I appreciate keeping us
updated on that and stay cool this morning. Thanks, all right,
take care and again you know we talked about that
going into the spring season, planting, planting those the dwarf
vegetables that are crazy. I did a lot of research
over the winter and we've been working on this for
a while and been growing some of the newer selections.
(32:36):
But some of these true dwarfs, you know, they used
to be like especially with the tomatoes, like a determined
they would set one one group of fruit on the
on the plant. You pick those off of there. You
may get fifteen or twenty tomatoes, little cherry tomatoes, and
it would be done. But the ones today continue to
grow just slightly enough to have flowers on them, so
(32:58):
they continue to flower and fruit all summer long. Cucumbers, eggplant, tomatoes,
peas beans. I mean, there's so many plants that fall
into this category. Now with these dwarf plants that are
perfect for growing in containers, in hanging baskets, and where
they're really starting to market these more and more is
(33:20):
that if you've got a really nice sunroom, warm sunroom,
really well lit room, grow lights, the whole nine acurs,
you can do these indoors over the winter and have
that year round vegetable production going on inside your home
and because they stay small again high producers, et cetera,
(33:40):
et cetera. So they are it's crazy what they've been
coming up with and they are now when folks finally
give them a try and you say, wow, I just
like with an you know, I can't believe how much
they're producing. It's crazy. So you know, keep that in
mind when if you haven't done them this year, but
look at them next year, especially you know in a
patio planting something like that where you want to do
(34:02):
a few vegetables, give him a shot. Or the kicker
is about the winter the time is that it's hard
to find him. There's not many garden centers that have
a request for that type of thing. Going into the
fall season. You'll see greens out there the cool season crop,
but not too many as far as the tomatoes and
peppers and things like that. But you know, if you
(34:22):
can find him, I mean, that's that's really something to
give a shot or try to take years and overwinter
them by bringing them in the house and keeping them going.
It's amazing, Larry. I'm trying to think of where he
is now. He's out in New Mexico or somewhere out there. Anyway,
he has always brought two or three tomatoes and a
pepper back in the house, kept him over the wintertime,
(34:43):
taking them back outside in the springtime, and has always
gotten production out of those as well. He has a
really well lit area where he does that, but gets
good production, So do keep that in mind. Eight hundred
eight two three eight two five five. I was talking
earlier about plants of the week, and we were talking
about butterfly or milkweed and how important it become to
all the pollinators that are out there, including the monarch butterfly.
(35:04):
Our other plant of the week, which is on our
website is bottle brush buckeye, which is a shrub form
of a buckeye and flowering right now. These white, creamy
white bottle brush type flowers really cool and they'll take
the shade, they'll take the sun as well. Don't get
the leaf scorch on them like you're doing a lot
of the other buck guys. You still get a buck
(35:25):
eye on it, so you know, you get your buck
eyed nuts off of that as well. But this is
a way underused plant for the landscape, big shrub, so
give it room. To grow, but it's it's really nice
and if you want to, you know, if you're looking
to get a buck eye in your yard but don't
have room for the tree, the bottlebrush buck guy would
be a wise choice for you. And the other tree
(35:45):
that I thought about using this week but I didn't,
but I wanted to bring it up anyway as a
plant of the week is golden rain tree. And I
think it's interesting. You'll find it so spelled golden rain tree,
golden dash, rain dash tree, golden rain tree, and golden
(36:09):
rain tree. I mean, there's all kinds of spellings for it.
But nevertheless, it's cold Rotaria piniculata. And this is a
tree that has the penately compound leaves, interesting bark twenty
five thirty feet tall. They can't get a little bit
bigger than that, but you usual see them around thirty
feet by thirty feet kind of rounded.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
You know.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Sometimes folks who look at it from a distance may
think it's something like it has the same type of
leaf like a walnut or you know, that type of
like locust type leaf, but larger than locus obviously, But
this time of the year, all of a sudden, these
like stars star shaped things like exploding on the ends
of the branches yellow and all of a sudden they
(36:50):
open up and there are yellow flowers that are just
really cool. Thus the golden part of this, all right,
and they are absolutely wonderful. And then those form a
seed pod on the end of that. So when the
wind blows, it sounds like it's raining. So you get
golden rain tree. And it's a really cool tree. Medium
(37:10):
sized tree, pretty tough, pretty durable. And I always think
of this tree when I see a golden rain tree,
I think of my dad. I remember back and I
was in high school, I believe, yeah, I think it
was high school, early college, and our nursery got in
some golden rain trees. Never seen him before. Now I'm
not talking golden chain by the time, by the way,
(37:31):
some people confuse it, and that's not what we're talking.
A golden rain tree. And got some in and they
were like in a five gallon container. And when they're
small like that, they look like something you'd grub out
of this, you know, the a fence row. And I
brought that home. I was so proud of that. I
couldn't wait to plant that. And my parents had this
little pool and stuff that I created for him by
(37:53):
their patio, and I planted that golden rain tree and
got it all settled, and my dad came home and
saw that, and exactly what he said was, what is that?
Looks like something you grubbed out of the fence row.
And I will always remember that, And he's right. When
they're younger like that, they don't look like a whole lot.
(38:13):
But as that thing continued to grow really multi stemmed,
really nice and started to flower, my gosh, it was
just absolutely gorgeous. Now those seeds can drop down and
you can have little rain trees coming up around the base.
Really easy to get rid of, et cetera, etc. Just
pick up the seed pods when they drop and you
don't have to worry about it. So that that would
probably be the only issue with this plant. But otherwise
(38:36):
it is a really cool early summer flowering tree that
you might want to consider if you're looking for that
twenty five thirty foot high and wide, little specimen tree
to add closer to your house in a patio area.
You know, that type of thing. Absolutely gorgeous. But every
time I see the golden rain trees, I always think
of my dad, because he was just being honest and
(38:58):
he looked at that thing and said, you grow that
out of some What is that? And of course I
explained to him what it was. I think he was
still questioning it for a while, but after two or
three years and it finally started to grow and fill
out that top, and then once it finally started to flower,
then he realized what a cool planet was. And for
some reason, eventually something happened to it and we wound
(39:19):
up losing and have to take it out. And I didn't.
I never replaced it with another one. But I will
always think of my dad when I seek golden rain
trees in flower? Is that something you grubbed out of
the fencero?
Speaker 2 (39:30):
Or what is that?
Speaker 1 (39:32):
Their landscape was always on the move when I was
still at home. It was never settled down. Every time
I'd find something new, I was always planning and transplanting
and changing it all around. So once I went to
college and stayed away from home, their landscape finally settled
down into one standard landscape. All right, we're gonna take
a quick break. We come back, ron rothis is going
to join us, the arbor doc. Yeah, we're gonna talk
(39:52):
about the weather. We're also going to talk about trees.
What's going on with him right now. We're in the
aftermath of the cicadas and the damages that we're seeing
out there. What do we do for those trees? Of course,
Ron's got a lot to share with us as well.
But at the bottom of the hour, mister Bill de
Boor is gonna join us. He's our native expert. We're
gonna talk about hot native plant colors for summer summer shrubs.
It's all happening here in the garden with Ron Wilson.
Speaker 4 (40:22):
Not gardening questions. Ron has the answers. At one eight
hundred eighty two three Talk. You are in the garden
with Ron Wilson. We need not hold ways agree, but
we can agree on one thing. Fifty five KRC is

am Ron Wilson, your personal yard boy, talking about yarding.
We'll kick off our show as always with our cup
of Joe, mister Joe Strecker, executive producer and today our
(00:48):
producer as well. Find out what's going on in his life.
Of course, our website at Ron Wilson online dot com
Facebook page. In the garden with Ron Wilson and the Joe.
It's Danny's on vacation. It's a pleasure to have you back.
It was three weeks ago we had you. Yeah, something
like that. Wow, it's a pleasure. Yeah, I know, it's
like riding a bike. I guess, of course it is.
(01:10):
Nothing changes, it's still it's still the same. So how's uh,
how's there anything this week? Was it hot enough for you?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Yeah, I know it's not hot enough for you. I'm sure.
I know you know you really like the warmer weather.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Tell you what, there was a couple of days, like
Wednesday Thursday of this week where it was just like, ugh, uh,
you know, I like it hot, but my goodness, that's
all I can say. Yeah, it was, it was. It
was pretty bad Wednesday Thursday.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
So you just have to kind of wipe it out
of your head, you know, you just kind of walk out.
So you just get out there and say, okay, forget it.
You gotta deal with it. It's not going to change.
Just deal with it. And then you're like, not, I'm done.
But yeah, but this kind of weather does definitely wipes
you out. I would. I got a late afternoon I
(02:02):
went out and was doing some clean up with some
Grolo Sumax and kind of edge in the bed, and
I was gonna plant. I still got a few more
things to plant flower wise, and I'll tell you what.
After about forty minutes, I was done. I just said,
I can't. I'm not doing this is stupid. I usually
can handle that. It doesn't usually bother me. Boy, it
just wiped me. You're like, right wiped me out.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Yeah, it was. You know, my grass really needs to
get cut, but this week it was just so bad.
I mean, just walking outside was just bad.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
So well, and you know what, when it's hot like that,
sometimes it's best just to let your lawn alone and
not even turn the more on. Let it just sit
there because it's not going to really grow a whole
lot when the heats like this. It just kind of
sit there, let it go and cools down a little bit.
Then you get back out there and you mow it.
So you made the right decision for both of you.
So I have the blessing of you to not cut
(02:56):
my grass the rest of the summer. No, I didn't
say that, we get it. You just said if it's
really really hot, really extreme hot temperatures. Yeah, but hey,
you're in Cincinnati. Cincinnati, you get five days of hot
weather then it breaks. You can always count on a
break and you get a cool front to come through,
and then we go back up again and a cool
front comes through. It just seems to ninety nine percent
(03:18):
of the time gives us a nice break, you know,
just the time to mow the grass. You know.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
I think we need an expert to talk about this, really, Yeah,
do you know anybody? I don't know, Maybe Ron Rothause
in about an hour, you think you'll you think he
would want to talk to us about the weather.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I know.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Maybe we'll try him and we'll see if he's awake,
all right, and we'll we'll see if we can get
him on Okay, all right, that's fair.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Can we ask him what to do about the trees?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Now?
Speaker 1 (03:45):
If the cicadas are pretty well done, we can ask
him that too. Did you have any at all at
your house? Any cicadas? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:51):
No, just I mean the usual ones that you hear
at night chirping. But we didn't have like any But
you didn't have or anything.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Of this brew seventeen that came out, now, okay, I
didn't have anything in my house. Okay, well they already
they took out all my trees, so I don't have
anything for them to hang out next to it. Still,
every time I see the cicada damage, I think of
your cherry tree out in front of your house. Man.
They just hammered that thing. Yeah, it just never came back. Nope,
(04:24):
it didn't die, but it just never recovered. Yeah, so
it so it had to go. I mean here at
the radio station, it was you know, there was some
mornings where it was it was almost apocalyptic, but other
than that, I didn't really feel anything. Yeah, they were
screaming like we got it. Nursery around around our nursery,
my mom's house, you know, out that that area of
(04:46):
b there's some pockets that were just unbelievable. It was
fun watching they're doing a lot of construction work out
road construction work out by the nursery, and it was
fun to go up to this one intersection where there
were a ton of them and watch the workers because
they'd be doing it. All sudden you see a polar
hat off start jumping around like the bees rolling with
cicadas up inside their hats and stuff. So well, you did.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
You see the story about the warnings about uh people
riding rides at King's Island is supposed to keep your
mouth shut, No, you didn't see that, No.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
And they did. They got hammered with them.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
There was a couple of new stories of telling people, hey,
when you ride the rides, when you're especially on the
roller coasters, to keep your mouth shut. Don't man you
one of those things smack you when you're on that
on the beast.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
That could inflict a little damage a little bit. Yeah,
I wouldn't want to swamp. It was a lot of funny.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
There was a lot of funny TikTok videos of people
getting attacked by cicadas at at King's Island and everyone's
freaking out and flipping out, and and there was that.
There was a did you see the story about the
car accident too?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
You told me about that? Yeah I didn't. I didn't
see it, but you told me about it.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Flew in the person's window and and instead of paying
attention they're driving, they're swatting at the at the cicada
and they ended up turning their car over crazy.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
So again that's another situation where there's a there's an
insect and I know they're big and they're just ugh
and if they sit on you, you're like, oh my god,
I mean it's a huge fly type of thing. But
you know they can't bite you. They have no mouth.
They're ugly, they're ugly, but you know they're not gonna
hurt you. So you gotta stay calm in a situation
like that. And I see more people running and screaming
(06:26):
and like those traffic work or the yeah, the construction
guys in that, it's like, chill out, man, I mean,
they're not they can't do anything to you. Yeah, they're
not gonna lay eggs on you. Just grab their wings
and flip them off. Go well, not flip them, yeah,
flip them off. Flick them off. I'm sorry, off, not
flip them off. You can do that too, well, you
flip them off, you can, but just flick them off.
(06:47):
Then they're good to go. You're gonna fly away somewhere else.
So the website Ron Wilson online dot com, along with
the Facebook page in the Garden with Ron Wilson and
on the Facebook page the chat room is up and running.
So if you want to this week's cool new graphic,
go ahead and check that one out. Who was that
guy in there last week? Last week?
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Yeah, I mean two weeks ago, two weeks ago, two
weeks ago was uh, that was me growing?
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Was that you? That was me growing? Did you see
my sandals and socks? Oh? Yeah, oh me. I have
never done that, but grilled the sandals of the socks.
I grill all the time. I get grilled all the time.
You never done sandals and socks? No, hm, you have.
(07:35):
I'm assuming sure about that. Yes, even as a child, Okay, okay,
I'll take your word for it. Even there's no pictures,
I'll take your word for it. Now. I grew up
in that era with the water buffalo sandals. The water
what's that? Well, it was made out of water buffalo
skin and they were you know, I think they probably
made an India somewhere, and then they had one strap
(07:56):
that went across your toe and one strap that went
around the other side. They were real lightweight, and you
get them wet purposely and then wear them and they
kind of fit to your foot. But that was like
the thing in the early seventies was a water buffalo sand.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Early seventies, what eighteen seventies, water buffalo skin with that.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Heck man, it was part of that hippie okay, sown
earthy yeah, earthy huh yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Well on, well, on the website. There's the first thing
is there's a tick test that Ohio.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
The jr Z should take. TikTok.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Yeah, it's the TIC test from the Ohio. What's it
called from It's it's the bucket, it's buggy Joe from
the high extend the extensions you extension. Yeah, And it's
a great thing because and I'm surprised that other places
haven't come up with this, but they actually had. Now,
if you have a tick that's attached to you, you
(08:58):
can you know, you know how to remove it, pull
it off. You can actually put that in a baggie
and all that. They'll they show you how to do
it and send it to them, and they can tell
you what kind of ticket it is and whether or
not it actually has any diseases that you may have
gotten from the tick. But they can tell you right away.
And I thought that's a pretty cool thing to do.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Huh. So now you know you don't have to you know,
you don't kind of just second guess. They test it
right away and can tell you for sure if it's
a yay or an a cool yeah, plus what kind
it is. So yeah, that's you need you need to
know that, and you need to know because you never
you pull that thing off. You're just never sure did
I get anything? Did I not get anything? Then every
(09:38):
time something happens to you, it's like you think you
get something from the tick. But it's a new service
from the from OSUE. And you can go to Buckeye
the Buckeye Garden Line byg I dots you dot edu
or to our website at royn Wilson online dot com.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Also, even though it's one hundred and five degrees in
the in the in the shade here there's a posting
about native plants for the summer.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
No kidding, Yeah, where's that? I need a refreshing you
need to refresh it finally popped up. Oh good. Yeah.
As a matter of fact, we're going to have the
gentleman on Bill de Boor is going to join us
today and talk about native plants for hot native plants,
colors for the summer, a great group of shrubs that
you can consider using.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
So yeah, check out that list and follow along when
he gets on here later.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Yeah. I always fun talking with Bill, and yeah, and
it's very nice to supply the list and thank you
for putting it on there. Yes, you're welcome. Rita's making pickles.
What's in the jar? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
You have to check it out. You have to go
to the website click on and see what's in the jar?
What is she?
Speaker 1 (10:40):
What is she pickling? That's the question. What is she pickling?
That is the question.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
And if you know, go to the chat room and
and and let us know.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
I see, I'm trying to refresh. I'm sorry, but.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
That's a sure. But it's a Rita's recipe for pickling.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
And it's that time, yes, And I would imagine it's
too early yet for the uh pepper pickled pepper recipe
for my mom, because the peppers haven't even really started
to develop too much yet. But we'll get you that
as we get closer to that one as well. But
this is a great pickling recipe and it's kind of
a little play on the jar pickle that Joe's sense
of humor on the front page there.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
And there's a there's a couple of plants of the
week this week. The first one. The first one is
butterfly weed, yes, or milkweed or milk weed, which is
a good for the monarchs, which is good for the
monarchs all the butterflies and pollinators in general. And if anything,
you're reading right now about saving the butterflies, saving the pollinators,
(11:43):
saving the bees. The one plant that comes to the
top of the list to plant anywhere containers whatever is
would be butterfly bush or butterfly weed or milk weed.
And there are many different types that you can plant,
including annual and tropical types. There are native species for
your particular state. But they are the cats mew when
it comes to pollinators, and of course they're pretty cool
(12:07):
with the flower too, so uh and they're out there.
Your garden centers all have them now, many different selections
to choose from.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Uh, so be sure and check out. But uh yeah,
it's one of those planet and they will come, trust me,
they will.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
And the second plane of the week is the bottle
brush buckeye.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yep. And we did that for a reason because you're
a buckeye Nope, because well yeah, but the arbor doct
ron Roth has sent us a picture of his and
it's in flower and he said, man, talk about a
great plant pick of the week. I said, okay, we'll
do that for you. Well, so there he not only
is he I'm not going to try to get him
(12:43):
on for next hour. He's also contributing to the Plants
of the Week. I guess you don't need me anymore. No,
you still have that. We have to have somebody to
post it. It's true, yeah, true, But yeah, that's a
that's a really that's a shrub form of a buckeye
and a really nice plant. Way under using the landscape.
All right, let's get started. Is that it? That's it?
A couple. Joe's done a couple. Joe's done. Out of here.
(13:05):
I'm out of here now, No, no two cup huh?
All right, Joe Strecker, executive producer. If you like what
you see on our website at Ron Wilson online dot com,
Facebook page in the Garden with Ron Wilson, Joe Strecker
had everything to do with it. Something on there you
don't like, Maybe you're questioning, maybe it shouldn't be on there.
Not my fault. Don't blame Joe. Let's blame doctor Z
Washington d C riding around his vest bunk that was
(13:28):
around the back, still on the back, not in the
sidecart that the sweet church would be on the back.
I'm telling you, doctor Z dog in the sidecar. Sorry, Bowser.
But that's the way it goes. Thank you, Joe, Yes,
and fun working with you this morning. Can't wait, so
join me in between all of our guests and our callers.
All right. Eight hundred eight two three eight two five
five that's our number here in the garden with Ron Wilson.

Hey, the Kent County Extension has got a great class
coming up Tuesday, July twenty ninth at their Marshall Road location.
They've got three classes, two them on Tuesday and one
on August the seventh. How do you use and care
for rain barrels?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Now?
Speaker 1 (14:35):
It's for Kenton County residents only, all right, So, but
for twenty five bucks and class attendant, you can go
home with a rainbarrow to stall for your to water
with and learn more about how to use rain barrels.
Let them know you're coming eight five nine three five
six three five one one. Welcome back here in the
garden with Ron Wilson again that toll free number eight
(14:56):
hundred eight two three eight two five five talking about
your hardening and Najoe and I. They are going over
the plants of the weak, and of course asclepias or
milk weed or butterfly weed definitely at the top of
the list. Now when it comes to pollinator plants, it
is the one. And the thing about asclepias using those
varieties is the fact that they are an all purpose
(15:19):
pollinator plant, especially for the butterflies, because the butterflies will
not only enjoy the nectar, but they also lay their
eggs on these plants, the larvae feet on the leaves,
so they're gonna eat some of your plants. That way
it goes, but that's what it's all about. And continue
on and of course do their crystalis and all of
that and become another butterfly. So you know, that's why
(15:41):
these are so important. And you can still plant other
pollinator plants out there, but this one really and it
attracts everything. As a matter of fact, you're a sclepias,
your butterfly weed or milk weed becomes hosts for many
other insects as well, so don't be shocked when that happens.
As a matter of fact, you will also see oleander
(16:01):
aphids show up on those pretty good sized aphen and
they love them and they're all over them. And the
kicker is you cannot spray your milk weed with anything
to get rid of the aphids without causing possible harm
to the larvae should they feed on the leaves, including
insecticidal soap, that would be the safest thing to use,
(16:25):
and you know it does the residual is a very
short period of time, but there is a chance that
that could cause some problems. So you hose it off,
you wipe your fingers over them, try to get rid
of them whatever, or you leave it alone and just
plan a lot of them, let it do its thing.
But that's gonna happen, and you're gonna see other insects
on there as well. You cannot spray these or you
will mess up the entire system. As a matter of fact,
(16:47):
when you if you're raising you know, butterflies, monarch butterflies,
whatever may be in cages, or you know, trying to
do that. You know, you know, you're you become a
big hobby now and you go out your local garden
said or maybe to buy some milk weed to supplement
to feed those caterpillars, those larvae. You know, again, ask
(17:08):
them to make sure that they haven't been treated with
an insecticide, especially the systemics. And there are some, you know,
there are some insecticides that have zero residual property. So
you spray them on there, they just don't they don't
hang on to the leaf very long at all, if
if at all strictly a contact spray. Occasionally those can
(17:30):
be used early on and growing that the milk weed.
But otherwise, you know, you want these things pretty much,
you know, with no sprays and no systemic insecticides, or
it'll take care of your your caterpillars or your you're
the larvae. So always ask and find out. And if
they buy them from someone, they may not know whether
(17:50):
they've been treated or not. But for the most part,
I think anybody that's growing them milkweeder or butterfly weed
will do their best to not spray them. The problems
and here's the problem you get into if you're a grower,
if you don't do anything to them. You will be
selling them with bugs already on them, aphids or whatever
it may be, because it's very natural. So if you
buy them, you go to your garden center and you
(18:11):
see those on there, remember that's a good sign to
show you that they aren't spraying them. They're pretty much
passed aside, free and good for your your monarch butterflies.
Eight hundred eight two three eight two five five. That's
our number here in the garden with Ron Wilson.
Speaker 4 (18:32):

Speaker 6 (19:04):
Senate debate on President Trump's massive spending bill could begin today.
Majority leader John Thune told his fellow Republicans there could
be a vote to start debate at noon Eastern. The
spending measure is facing headwinds as Republicans race against the
clock to meet Trump's July fourth deadline. On Friday, Trump added, however,
the deadline was not the end all, and that he
(19:24):
knew some Republicans are against the bill in its present
form were under a lot of pressure. President Trump says
he believes there will be an Israeli Hamas peace deal
within a week. He told reporters in the Oval Office
Friday that it's sad to see the long food lines
in Gaza filled with hungry and dying people. Trump said
he's interested in a permanent ceasefire and the release of
all the hostages Hamas still holds. Israel and Hamas have
(19:46):
been at war since October of twenty twenty three. Karen

after three o'clock high of eighty six Tonight cloudy seventy two.
On Sunday most of cloudy eighty eight, and on Monday
thunderstorms are likely. I have eighty six degrees seven four
nine fifty five hundred here at fifty five KRC the
(20:30):
talk station. Good morning, welcome back. You're in the garden
with Ron Wilson again that toll free number eight hundred
eight two three eight two five five talking about yarding.
Don't forget our website, Ron Wilson online dot com. Rita's
recipe is a refrigerator pickle recipe, so it's easy to do.
Put them right in a fridge and they're ready to go.
(20:50):
And of course we've got our plants in the week.
There our TIC test, I think is outstanding that the
issue extension is putting together. Now you can have the
tics tested if you get have one stuck on you
to find out what it is and of course if
it would have any UH any issues as far as
diseases or whatever. And also one last one I want
to add to the UH to the UH plants of
(21:11):
the week, and that is Golden rain tree. Golden rain tree,
cold cold Rotaria piniculata, and it is uh in some
cases in flower are just getting ready to flower right now,
and it is absolutely gorgeous. And I will talk about
that a little bit later because we're gonna go to
northern Kentucky. You talk to Steve, Steve, good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
We're on a him cold in a while. But hey,
I've got something kind of exciting. You were talking about
the tillbugs of roly Polis last week. Yes, I've always
I've always liked him is to try to feeders. They
helped turn turn the dead stuff into into fertilizer, and
they're they're important to the composers. But I did just
(21:52):
recently learn that they do they do more than they
do more than that. And there they're they're crustaceans, they're
not insects.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Right. Is that kind and that kind of interesting?
Speaker 7 (22:06):
But when they eat.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
They can live in highly toxic soils. They actually take
things like cadmium, arsenic and lead, and they can can
sort of digest it in their mid gut and and
turn it into little innert spheres. So in the essence
remove arsenic from the soil. Wow, if that's true, that
(22:33):
is that is an amazing environmental benefit of those little critters.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Yeah, and if you don't know what Steve's talking about,
we sometimes refer to as roly polly's because you touch
them up and they roll up like an armadillo, sal
bugs pill bugs. But you see sometimes you know, you
pull the mault away from your plant. That's where I
always get to. Somebody will send me an email and
they'll say, I just pulled the mult back and these
are all around and they're destroying my plants. Well, the
(22:59):
funny thing is they they really don't like the feed
on plants that much. They may get on some tender seedlings.
Sometimes if you've got fruit that's touching the ground and
it starts to decay, sometimes they can get into that.
But like Steve's saying, these things are really cool because
one they're in the crustacean family, which is shrimp and
lobsters and things like that. They have to have moisture
(23:22):
to survive, and that's why you always see them, like
if they're in the house, they're around the threshold of
the door or in the basement or whatever, because they
need moisture to survive. They have to have that moist
area and then The thing of it is is they're,
like he said, they're debris eaters. So they go through
and they clean it. They're clean up they're the cleanup crew.
(23:42):
And if they can actually get into the soil and
help clean up some of the some of the toxins
that are in the soil as well, Wow, what an
added benefit. I've never I'd never heard that before, but
that if that's true, that's that would be great.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
That's that's brand new research. And of course what was
I ga to add to that? Yeah? Where where I
tend to find a lot of them, as I've used
a lot of cardboard is like a mulch for like
garden pathways and stuff like that. You pick up that
cardboard and they're just loaded with those. They will eventually
(24:16):
eat my cardboard, so I have to bring it more cardboard.
Not a problem.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
But just cleaning up that mood, cleaning up that moist cardboard.
That's exactly right.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Yeah, so that's cool. I thought I passed it along.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
All right, Steve's good talking with you, and that's great information, man.
I appreciate it. All right, take care and again we yeah,
we were talking about those last week because I now
you know, when we have excessive moisture this time of
the year. We'll get moisture into that mault or whatever,
and you start to look and all of a sudden
you see these pill bugs or roly polleys and you
course right away start thinking that they're causing problems to
(24:51):
your plants, uh, when ninety nine point nine percent of
the time they are not. Like I said, high populations
can start chewing on some Uh, if you've got tomatoes
or something that's right at the on the ground, sometimes
they'll get into that sometimes. But they're debris eaters and
they're the cleanup crew, and you know, they're always doing
(25:12):
research on these things. And what's interesting is they are
part of the crustacean family. They have to have the moisture.
So one of the ways to get rid of them
if you have a problem with them is just pull
the mault back and let it dry out. And they
can't exist there. They've got to have that shade. They've
got to have that moisture to exist. But they're debris eaters.
They're good. They're actually a good thing ninety nine point
(25:33):
nine percent of the time. So and if that's true
with the new research out here, that's that's even more
recent to make sure those things stick around out in
the garden. I know there's no fun in the house,
but out in the garden because that's what they're there for.
West Virginia, we go Larry, Good morning, Larry.
Speaker 7 (25:52):
Oh Western Virginia. Yeah, oh Worster Okay, yeah, Hey. I
talked to you probably last months at the beginning a
month about using sheep bully, yes, yeah, and being the
grand cats. We dug out the old dirt sug laders
sheep bull on top of dirt and so forth. We
(26:14):
planted sunshine tomatoes like those oh yeah, layer of sheeple
on top of that around them and they're already up
about five feet now. So it worked out really well.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
So it's it's working well for you. I'm telling you,
this may be one of those products that we're going
to continue as more folks like yourself using not only
the sheep wool, but using the wool pellets that are
out there too. As a soil amendment. I think we're
going to see this becoming more and more as it's
becoming more and more available, more affordable, and a lot
(26:49):
more folks using it. And you know, the other thing
on top of it. They're finding out now that that
landline in that sheep wool is an excellent deterrent for
deer and habits, so you know, you get all that
benefit on top of it as well. So I appreciate
you letting us know how it's going so far. You
got to keep me updated as we go to the season.
Speaker 7 (27:09):
Well, I have to say some pictures. Yeah, it's already
in bloom. Good about that. So, yeah, lots of fruit
on the vines and I haven't had in the water
and yet of course we've had a lot of rain
for the past couple of weeks. Doing really well.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Good's that's a good one. Hey, I appreciate you. Keep
me posted. And yeah, anytime you've got a few pictures
to send to us, we'd love to see that as well,
So keep us posted. I love hearing from him. And
again he's talking about using sheep wool. If you remember
this past winter we had the wooletts on and this
is something nothing new. They've been doing it in Europe
(27:49):
for years and years and years, but they use sheep wold.
And what I did not know about sheep wall is
that there's only a certain type of sheep wool that
is in demand in the United States to use for
knitting and material and fabric and things like that, and
so otherwise all the sheep that are out there have
to get sheared. And if it's not the right sheep wool,
(28:11):
what do you do with all that sheep wool? Will
you just kind of throw it away? Well, they found
out that sheep wool actually is a great soil amendment,
a great mulch. And they also a German gardener found
a way to pelletize this, so they heat it up.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Do what.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
They've got a machine that heats it up, puts it
into a pellet form, and then you can buy it
in this pellet form and when you open it up,
it smells like wool, and so you use it as
a soil amendment. And they're finding as they're doing more
and more research about this matter of fact, I got
a gentleman it's going to be coming up here in
a couple of weeks talking more about the actual research
being done now on using wool pellets and wool in
(28:49):
the garden. But they're finding all kinds of stuff, including
the nutrient, the organic value of adding organic matter, the
repelling value of deer and rabit. It's moisture retention, like
in containers, raised beds where you want to help cut
back up. They're finding it that that does a great
job for that as well. So it's it's got a
(29:10):
lot of benefits for a product that usually gets just
tossed out because nobody wants to use it, that sheep wool.
And they are also doing research on that repelling and
they're finding out that the landlin in sheep wool lasts
longer as a deer repellent than most other repellents that
are on the market, So they're playing with that a
lot now as well. So we'll talk more about it,
(29:32):
and if you're using it, let me know, just like
he's been keeping me updated on how he's using just
a regular sheep wool. If you're doing the pellets or
the wool, let me know how it's working out for you,
because I think this is one of those things that's
going to be becoming more and more popular in our
gardens and in our containers as well. Quick break, we
come back and you're coming up next. Phone lines are
open for you at eight hundred eight two three eight

That total free number would be eight hundred eight two
three eight two five five. Back to the gardening phone lines.
We shall go to Cincinnati and good morning.
Speaker 8 (30:57):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
How are you you hear me? Nikes, I'm good good.
Speaker 8 (31:01):
Taking advantage of a slightly cooler morning to get the
dog walks. Yes, I took advantage of your recommendation for
dwarf plants in the garden this spring and planted dwarf
cucumber and dwarf eggplants, and they are amazing great. I
happy to have them. So we've already gotten two cucumbers
(31:23):
about there's about eight or ten little eggplants hanging on
the vine.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Still excellent. Good for you. So do you are the
containers or in the ground in containers? Excellent?
Speaker 8 (31:35):
All my gardens in big, huge pots and they're working great.
The cucumbers is vining around itself and not taking over anything.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Isn't that amazing. I mean, they're doing so much work
now with these dwarf vegetables and fruits as well, berries
and fruit trees. That is phenomenal. They do so well
in containers. And you know, obviously they're smaller plants, but
their production on those are pretty dark high for the
size of the plant. It's just I think it amazes
people when they finally try them and see what you
(32:06):
really can't get out of these little plants. It's crazy,
it is.
Speaker 8 (32:10):
It's not like they're little tiny baby cucumbers like the
size of your little finger. They're a medium pized cucumber
and they taste.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Really good, good, good, well, And I appreciate keeping us
updated on that and stay cool this morning. Thanks, all right,
take care and again you know we talked about that
going into the spring season, planting, planting those the dwarf
vegetables that are crazy. I did a lot of research
over the winter and we've been working on this for
a while and been growing some of the newer selections.
(32:36):
But some of these true dwarfs, you know, they used
to be like especially with the tomatoes, like a determined
they would set one one group of fruit on the
on the plant. You pick those off of there. You
may get fifteen or twenty tomatoes, little cherry tomatoes, and
it would be done. But the ones today continue to
grow just slightly enough to have flowers on them, so
(32:58):
they continue to flower and fruit all summer long. Cucumbers, eggplant, tomatoes,
peas beans. I mean, there's so many plants that fall
into this category. Now with these dwarf plants that are
perfect for growing in containers, in hanging baskets, and where
they're really starting to market these more and more is
(33:20):
that if you've got a really nice sunroom, warm sunroom,
really well lit room, grow lights, the whole nine acurs,
you can do these indoors over the winter and have
that year round vegetable production going on inside your home
and because they stay small again high producers, et cetera,
(33:40):
et cetera. So they are it's crazy what they've been
coming up with and they are now when folks finally
give them a try and you say, wow, I just
like with an you know, I can't believe how much
they're producing. It's crazy. So you know, keep that in
mind when if you haven't done them this year, but
look at them next year, especially you know in a
patio planting something like that where you want to do
(34:02):
a few vegetables, give him a shot. Or the kicker
is about the winter the time is that it's hard
to find him. There's not many garden centers that have
a request for that type of thing. Going into the
fall season. You'll see greens out there the cool season crop,
but not too many as far as the tomatoes and
peppers and things like that. But you know, if you
(34:22):
can find him, I mean, that's that's really something to
give a shot or try to take years and overwinter
them by bringing them in the house and keeping them going.
It's amazing, Larry. I'm trying to think of where he
is now. He's out in New Mexico or somewhere out there. Anyway,
he has always brought two or three tomatoes and a
pepper back in the house, kept him over the wintertime,
(34:43):
taking them back outside in the springtime, and has always
gotten production out of those as well. He has a
really well lit area where he does that, but gets
good production, So do keep that in mind. Eight hundred
eight two three eight two five five. I was talking
earlier about plants of the week, and we were talking
about butterfly or milkweed and how important it become to
all the pollinators that are out there, including the monarch butterfly.
(35:04):
Our other plant of the week, which is on our
website is bottle brush buckeye, which is a shrub form
of a buckeye and flowering right now. These white, creamy
white bottle brush type flowers really cool and they'll take
the shade, they'll take the sun as well. Don't get
the leaf scorch on them like you're doing a lot
of the other buck guys. You still get a buck
(35:25):
eye on it, so you know, you get your buck
eyed nuts off of that as well. But this is
a way underused plant for the landscape, big shrub, so
give it room. To grow, but it's it's really nice
and if you want to, you know, if you're looking
to get a buck eye in your yard but don't
have room for the tree, the bottlebrush buck guy would
be a wise choice for you. And the other tree
(35:45):
that I thought about using this week but I didn't,
but I wanted to bring it up anyway as a
plant of the week is golden rain tree. And I
think it's interesting. You'll find it so spelled golden rain tree,
golden dash, rain dash tree, golden rain tree, and golden
(36:09):
rain tree. I mean, there's all kinds of spellings for it.
But nevertheless, it's cold Rotaria piniculata. And this is a
tree that has the penately compound leaves, interesting bark twenty
five thirty feet tall. They can't get a little bit
bigger than that, but you usual see them around thirty
feet by thirty feet kind of rounded.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
You know.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Sometimes folks who look at it from a distance may
think it's something like it has the same type of
leaf like a walnut or you know, that type of
like locust type leaf, but larger than locus obviously, But
this time of the year, all of a sudden, these
like stars star shaped things like exploding on the ends
of the branches yellow and all of a sudden they
(36:50):
open up and there are yellow flowers that are just
really cool. Thus the golden part of this, all right,
and they are absolutely wonderful. And then those form a
seed pod on the end of that. So when the
wind blows, it sounds like it's raining. So you get
golden rain tree. And it's a really cool tree. Medium
(37:10):
sized tree, pretty tough, pretty durable. And I always think
of this tree when I see a golden rain tree,
I think of my dad. I remember back and I
was in high school, I believe, yeah, I think it
was high school, early college, and our nursery got in
some golden rain trees. Never seen him before. Now I'm
not talking golden chain by the time, by the way,
(37:31):
some people confuse it, and that's not what we're talking.
A golden rain tree. And got some in and they
were like in a five gallon container. And when they're
small like that, they look like something you'd grub out
of this, you know, the a fence row. And I
brought that home. I was so proud of that. I
couldn't wait to plant that. And my parents had this
little pool and stuff that I created for him by
(37:53):
their patio, and I planted that golden rain tree and
got it all settled, and my dad came home and
saw that, and exactly what he said was, what is that?
Looks like something you grubbed out of the fence row.
And I will always remember that, And he's right. When
they're younger like that, they don't look like a whole lot.
(38:13):
But as that thing continued to grow really multi stemmed,
really nice and started to flower, my gosh, it was
just absolutely gorgeous. Now those seeds can drop down and
you can have little rain trees coming up around the base.
Really easy to get rid of, et cetera, etc. Just
pick up the seed pods when they drop and you
don't have to worry about it. So that that would
probably be the only issue with this plant. But otherwise
(38:36):
it is a really cool early summer flowering tree that
you might want to consider if you're looking for that
twenty five thirty foot high and wide, little specimen tree
to add closer to your house in a patio area.
You know, that type of thing. Absolutely gorgeous. But every
time I see the golden rain trees, I always think
of my dad, because he was just being honest and
(38:58):
he looked at that thing and said, you grow that
out of some What is that? And of course I
explained to him what it was. I think he was
still questioning it for a while, but after two or
three years and it finally started to grow and fill
out that top, and then once it finally started to flower,
then he realized what a cool planet was. And for
some reason, eventually something happened to it and we wound
(39:19):
up losing and have to take it out. And I didn't.
I never replaced it with another one. But I will
always think of my dad when I seek golden rain
trees in flower? Is that something you grubbed out of
the fencero?
Speaker 2 (39:30):
Or what is that?
Speaker 1 (39:32):
Their landscape was always on the move when I was
still at home. It was never settled down. Every time
I'd find something new, I was always planning and transplanting
and changing it all around. So once I went to
college and stayed away from home, their landscape finally settled
down into one standard landscape. All right, we're gonna take
a quick break. We come back, ron rothis is going
to join us, the arbor doc. Yeah, we're gonna talk
(39:52):
about the weather. We're also going to talk about trees.
What's going on with him right now. We're in the
aftermath of the cicadas and the damages that we're seeing
out there. What do we do for those trees? Of course,
Ron's got a lot to share with us as well.
But at the bottom of the hour, mister Bill de
Boor is gonna join us. He's our native expert. We're
gonna talk about hot native plant colors for summer summer shrubs.
It's all happening here in the garden with Ron Wilson.
Speaker 4 (40:22):
Not gardening questions. Ron has the answers. At one eight
hundred eighty two three Talk. You are in the garden
