out about processed foods. I get it, I get it.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Well, they keep on saying it, and everything always misses
us or miss me.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
We haven't had hardly anything. We had a couple of
showers that came through and that's about it. I mean
they were just on Monday. When on Monday, when it
came through, we got like a downpour for like ten
to fifteen minutes and it came down pretty hard. But
that was it, and it just made it muggy here.
Oh yeah, yeah, those quick showers. It's like, oh my god.
(06:54):
Now you see the steam coming off the black top. Yeah,

year besides stay in the house and pull the shades down.
So but that guess you're getting ready to go into that.

So grow a whole bunch of stuff in an earth box.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Now. See, you always talk about you want you're going
to go to Arizona when you retire because it's hot
out there. Why didn't you ever look at Mississippi or
Alabama or Florida?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
The real reason? Yeah, because I just I want to
move west. Okay, I don't want to move south. I
want to move west.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Got it. Of course, it's you're talking high humidity and
you're talking low humidity. Oh I'm also talking.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
I can watch the super Bowl at two o'clock local time,
and then when the time the game is over us
to have time to have fun.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
There you go. I still remember going to Tucson on
a Saturday college football and watching it, got up at
eight o'clock and watching college foot game day at eight
in the morning, eating eggs. Yeah, yeah, that's what I
want to do. Yeah, there you go. There, that's the
bottom line right there.
Speaker 2 (08:58):

Batman's on, I'm going to assume he's on in the

new graphic is Interesting is on there for the for
the chat room, so check.
Speaker 1 (09:35):

Speaker 2 (09:37):
I know I work hard on those things, so I
hope people appreciate him.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Uh this week Buggy Joe. Yeah, but he had several
postings for you to choose from a couple of posts
about the cicados. Yeah, came through. So that's all done.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
And then there's uh something about that Thomas de Hawes
has about about trees, so check that out. Rito's recipe
of the week is zucchini bread.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Great timing, it is timing it starts to come on
now then you start thinking about what am I going
to do with all those.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah, I'm not a big zucchini bread fan.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
But I'm not either, But how about that recipe? Oh yeah,
it's definitely a twist to the normal zucchini bread right exactly,
because you know, you can use zucchini for any kind
of filler. But I'm not, and I'm like you, But
a pineapple zucchini recipe, Okay, that's a different story. It
is now we got the pineapple flavor in there. It is.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I just you know, I love those. I love breads, yeah,
and I love like nut bread and banana bread. I
used to love zucchini bread, but I just had so
much of it.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
I think it was one year we had so much zucchini.
I think we had zucchini bread for weeks and I
was just like, I can't eat this anymore. So so yeah,
I kind of lots of taste for it.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Peaches are my favorite fruit. They are. But my wife
will go and get from the peach truck tour those
big case and then we eat peaches like twice, three
times a day, and I get peached out.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Well. Well, and if you don't eat them fast enough,
they rock.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Well.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
She does other things with them besides eating them fresh.
She cooks them. She makes these little things of freezes,
you know, so she mixes it up. But you know,
it's just I get kind of peached out. I can't
understand that. But I love peaches.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I love peaches too, nice little fuzzy peaches.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
And shake your trees nice and all the time. Oh baby. Okay,
the plants of the week this week are can give
me a little background music music. Okay. The first one
(11:50):
is Russian sage. Yes, that's a pollinator. It is putting
out some good flowers right now.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
If you want your monarchs, definitely.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
And they that back at the rush. You see it everywhere.
But it just keeps like that right on through the summer.
I mean that one just hangs right in there. So
pretty tough, pretty durable. Cut it back in the springtime.
It's all you have to do. I know one thing.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I used to have one of those in my yard
and that thing grew, and especially when I got hot,
that thing multiplied. You can watch that thing and grow.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Oh yeah, they're tough, they're durable. They and it's you know,
it's lavender purple blue flower, not purple lavender blue flower.
It's it's it's just tough. And there's so many different
varieties now that are more compact, more upright, spread it,
you know, all of that, so you have all to
choose from.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
You get you can get out of the upgrade. Yeah,
so check that out. I like the names of those. Yeah,
they're pretty cool. Yeah, huh huh uh. And the second one,
there's two places of the week this week. The second
one is the Mexican sunflower.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
I had to throw that. I've been mentioning that, but
I haven't had any pictures posted, so we thought we'd
better put that up there. I mean, that thing is
just it's too You probably can't find them now in
the garden centers, but put it on your list if
your garden center doesn't row them for next year for
an annual. That thing is absolutely gorgeous. It flowers like
that all summer long, and the butterflies and pollinators love it,
butterflies especially, and you'll see hummingbirds all over too. It's big.
(13:12):
Give it plenty of room. But man, that Mexican sunflower
is something else. Tithonia. There you go. So there you
have that.
Speaker 2 (13:20):

let's get some callers on. I'm ready to go, all right,

Welcome back here in the garden with Ron Wilson again.
That toll free number would be eight hundred eight two
three eight two five five. Don't forget it, write it down,
put it on the refrigerator. We're here to help you
out to be as successful as we can and you
can in your yardening endeavors. And of course, if you
like to share your experiences with us, we like that
even better. We love hearing from folks that say, hey,
(18:27):
this is what I did and it worked for me.
Or here's a plant that I planted and it worked
for me, or didn't work for me. I'll take that too,
because if it didn't work for you, you know, don't
make us go through it and find out it doesn't work. Right.
We'll find out and we'll share that information. How about
your tomatoes right now? I have gotten more emails over
the last ten days or so from folks saying, in
(18:49):
our area anyway you it could be different where you're
listening to our show, but in our area saying, man,
what is with the lack of tomatoes? Vines look good? Unfortunately,
my mom's and you know I always plan her as
several containers of cherry tomatoes usually experiment with one or
two different ones, which I have the big dwarf growing
at her house, and man, that's a good looking plant.
(19:12):
But it does have a tomato and it's a nice
ize beefsteak tomato.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
One.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
I think there were two one was coming on only
one though, but and a few peppers and things like that.
But anyway, same way on hers, you know, the couple
of them have gotten a sup tory leaf spot. Got
it early, man, and it's just kind of wiping out
those bottom leaves. But the tomatoes that are there look good,
and it's not gonna affect those tomatoes. They will ripen,
but definitely not as many. Definitely not as many flowers
(19:40):
so far. As a matter of fact, hers just because
we had a shade tree close by so they always
had filtered sun. Now it's full sun. But nevertheless, tomatoes
in our area are late. There's no doubt about it,
whether it be production or ripening or actual production of
the you know, the flowers actually forming and in setting fruit.
(20:01):
And again, like I said, I talked to our tomato
professional tomato grower, Terry Diefenbacker last week and he said,
of all of the years. And he's been doing this forever.
I mean, man's old, old, and he's been doing it forever.
He's probably laughing right now, but he's his family's been
doing it for a long time. And you know, he said,
this is the latest ever that they have not had
(20:23):
ripe tomatoes. And I think they planted the first week
of May. So it's been a little frustrating. But all
I can tell you is this, keep watering, feed as needed,
don't overfeed him, definitely, don't overfeed him, and be patient.
They will come. Eight hundred eight two three eight two
five five. That's our number here in the Garden with
Ron Wilson. Green tom or not.
Speaker 5 (20:56):

We're talking yard ning at eight hundred eight two three
eight two five five. Good morning. I am Ron Wilson,
your personal yard boy. Don't forget our websites Ron Wilson
online dot com. All kinds of great information on there
for you, including if you're zucchinis, we're talking about tomatoes
being a little bit slow and late in our area.
If your zucchinis are coming on strong and you know
(23:23):
they're the size of that baseball bat. You can still
use those, you know. I think Olsue Extension does a
share zucchini or share Zucchini Day or put zucchini on
your neighbor's porch day, something like that. Anyway, you know,
you make all finds, all kinds of ways to use
up the zucchini. Uh. But she has a nice twist here,
and I like it because, you know, you kind of
get tired of the zucchini as we were talking about,
(23:44):
you know, you don't eat so much of it. But
it's it's got pineapple in it. No, that's a different story.
Talking about putting little pineapple with the zucchini sounds sounds
pretty good to me. Yeah, I think I can handle that.
So check it out. It's at Ron Wilson online dot
com and Joe has a great posting there. We talk
about periodical cicadas and possible mysterious bug bites, kind of
(24:06):
a some of the periodicals. Let's show you about them
a little bit. But what happens this time of the year.
You're out at a picnic, all right, or maybe it's
in your own yard and you're under an oak tree
and you're having a great time, and all of a
sudden you realize you're starting itch around your neck, around
your shoulders, you know, basically on the top part of
(24:27):
your body, starting to get break and all of a
sudden you're breaking out a little bit of a rash.
And it's like, what is going on here? And I
still remember my brother in law. They were somewhere and
a sat perfect scenario, huge oak trees, picnic underneath tables
and all he came away with this huge rash on
his neck and his ears and his back and his shoulders.
(24:47):
Well it's a it's a small mite that actually causes
the leaves of the oak to to turn into a
gull right around the edges, and they will drop out
of the tree. And when they drop out of the tree,
and if they land on you, they will they can
bite you. And these things are micro. I mean, he's
a little little bit guys, so you really don't notice them,
(25:08):
but they will land on you and bite you and
cause this big rash. And it's not a pretty site
and it doesn't feel good either. And it's like the
mysterious bug bite word and I didn't see anything. Whatever, Well,
that's what it is, and it's interesting and this does happen,
and it may have happened to you sometime in the
past and you're like, I always wondered what that was. Well,
(25:30):
that's probably what it was. But if you want to
learn more about it, go to our website at run
Wilson online dot com and you will see periods, periodical
cicadas and possible mysterious bug bites, and then then it'll
tell you all about us. To be sure and check
that out. Of course, we continue to post Buggy Joe
Boggs all the Ohio State University Extension beagles there so
(25:50):
you can see those. You can also get them on
their website at bygl osu dot e. Du Rita's recipes

And by the way, will be with this next Saturday.
See what's going on in here her yard and garden
this time of the year. I'll tell you what it is,
hot hot hot. It is dry, dry, dry in our area.
(26:12):
Right now. I planted, you know, we pretty much finished
up all the containers. And containers are one thing, you know.
You plant those containers up, you water them, I really
soak them well. They'll last a couple of days. Before
you put a little soil moist in there, some core
in there. You can get them to last a couple
of days and really soak them well, and plants start
to root in and then you're you know, you go
(26:33):
to water on a regular basis, But that's because it's
container gardening. Well, I planted purposely, and I seriously did
this on purpose. I planted this week, and I think
I did it on Monday. I'm pretty sure it was Monday,
maybe Tuesday. Three American gold rush rebeccia. I love that plant.
(26:54):
And we had a little spot in our front landscape,
established landscape, little triangular area that was oh and I
forget what I had in there before, but I had
taken it out. So we planted three in there to
make a nice clumping. And so I held off purposely
to plant these because I said, you know what, they'll
kind of give me the you know, explaining to somebody
(27:14):
as I go through the summer trying to keep these
things watered in this bed and this bed is not irrigated,
I do not wish to bring I have to bring
a sprinkler out there unless we get into a serious
drought situation to water that. But it's really dry. Got
them planted, really watered, and well when I got done,
soaked them in well. But what's interesting is, and this
(27:34):
is where you start to get into this fight. It's like,
wait a second, I just watered those. When you get
the surrounding soil is not moist as well, it just
sucks that out of there like a sponge. And that's
why I say I purposely did that, just to see
how quickly. And it's good soil, it's a very well
prepped bed, but man, as it sucked that out of there,
(27:55):
and they're just trying to be watering that triangular area
where these are planted. I have had to do that
at at least once, if not twice a day, and
again wilted down by four o'clock in the afternoon it's
full sun and not the moisture's not there. It's already gone.
So you know, it just shows you how important and
(28:16):
you know that you've got to stick with these. And
if I was really busy, if I had things doing,
if I wasn't paying attention to them and not watering
on a regular basis or monitoring as I needed to water,
you know, a day or two of that and those
things are toast. And that's how quickly these things can happen.
So many times I see folks that say I planted them,
(28:37):
blah blah blah. Yeah, I'm watering on a regard basis.
You skip one or two this time of the year,
you know, where they're still not rooted in enough to
you know, try to really hold their own. They're going
to be toast. I know this week, I couple three
folks emailing me about barbary, and you know, Barbary. I
love barbary, pick me barbary, all the maroon foliage. I
(28:59):
love those plants, but the one and they'll tolerate a
dry condition. They'll tolerate droughts fairly well once established. But
until that thing gets established, you know, you let that
dry out. One time, Barbary dry out. One time, it's toast.
It's done, and it's you know, it's it's almost as
picky as evergreens. For the first two or three years.
(29:20):
You've got to keep that in there. And if you
await for a week or two or ten days on
vacation and somebody doesn't water this for you, or you
didn't pay a lot of attention to them, and didn't
water them. I'm telling you those things will go into
toast with and that's exactly what I was seeing. So
it's a very difficult time right now. I get that
you got to monitor, you got to stay on top
of it basically as I want, you know, looking at
(29:41):
our right now and our landscape at all, my two
things are dead heading, pinching, annuals as best needed and
perennials as needed, watching for insects. Not really much out
there going on right now as far as insects goes
in our area and keeping them more to what needs
to be watered. And I think that's really key right
(30:03):
now as we try to get through these hot dry
period to keep these plants going. And again, like I said,
I did that on purpose because I wanted to see
what it would take, you know. And these are tough
plants again, you know, Rubeccia, once it's established, tough, durable.
But again it's getting it established and it's always fun
to see other plants who takes it the best. And
I'm telling you and you for me, talk about these
(30:25):
before Ruella, which is Mexican petunia ruella. You give that
a week to get established in the ground or in
a container and that bad boy you you know, it'll
weld a little bit, but not much Perrilla Angelonia, Liiza machia,
if you know, if you like creeping genya hanging down
(30:47):
the side of the pots, unbelievable what they'll take as
far as drying out, still flowering and still looking good
for you. One last thing, and I'll kind of leave
this as a teaser. We have one hanging basket and
I'm not big on hanging baskets, but we got a
couple of them. Missus Wilson wanted to put on their
swing garden swing, but anyway, it's a black Eyed Susan,
(31:08):
the vining one and having some issues with that. I'm
going to take a break and then we'll come back.
I'll tell you what I did with that. But in
the meantime, we open the funds for you, obviously at
eight hundred eight two three eight two five five. And
I want to go to Dayton real quick and talk
to our buddy Dick.

Speaker 1 (35:43):
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 yardening. It's hot outside. There's
no rain out there in our area. Hopefully you're getting
some in yours, but it is. It's been hot this week.
I thought I used to be able to handle the
heat and I would work and I would I used
to bike a lot. I like biking, biking in the
(36:03):
heat of the day, but I'm not. I used to
be in that eat I'm doing more of that morning
stuff and the evening stuff and hitting the pool in between.
Well I'm still working, but yeah, I actually hit the
pool yesterday. It was kind of surprised me. That's something
I don't normally do. Community pool. By the way, talking
about yardening, and before we went into the break, you know,
(36:24):
we're talking right now basically as it's the old Manni's
by walking around and you know, looking for insect disease problems,
dead heading, pinching out those dead flowers, pension back plants
and are starting to get a little leggy some of
the annual starting to do that as well, and making
sure we keep the water. Well, we've got a hanging basket,
first time we've had a it's a vining black eyed Susan.
(36:46):
And you know you talk about aggressive hand, you'll find
that bad boy takes over everywhere. Well, we hung this
on the end of our garden swing, which has you know,
a lattice over the top of it, and the goal
is to get it to grow on the side and
the cross the top. And my wife's been taking it
and put it out of it. But anyway, there's another one.
It's in a twelve inch container. That you just cannot
(37:08):
keep enough moisture in that container. By the end, you
watered every day and by three o'clock it's dry as
a bone. And the problem with hanging baskets we get
into this time of the year is a lot of
times when you buy hanging baskets, you know they're planted
a little bit tighter than you normally would plant in
a landscape bed or a container whatever, because you want
(37:29):
a nice show. So the garden centers will do that.
It's it's it happens, and it's nice and tight. But
what happens is you started getting into July and August,
those plants have all filled in, They've rooted in that
whole thing. If you turn it over and pull the
soil out of the pot, it'd be just a solid
mass of roots and very little soil. That's the way
(37:50):
it happens. And so you know, by the time you start,
you know, getting into August, some of those hanging baskets
start to look pretty darn rough because you just can't
keep up with the water. And of course the nutrients
levels goes down and they're all competing for that's gonna
be tough. And even with this black eyed Susan, the
vining one. It's it likes a lot of moisture anyway,
(38:11):
And there's quite a few in that plant. That hanging basket,
and again twelve inch baskets. If anybody buys anything less
than twelve inch basket, I don't know how you keep
them water through the summertime. I don't know how you
do it. But anyway, so now what I'm gonna do
is we're gonna I'm gonna go get a fourteen inch
hanging basket nose a're availab. We can get them bigger
(38:31):
than that as well, but fourteen inch will just very
gently take this off the bottom. We'll just very gently
put a new one back on top and reconnect the
hangars to the pot. And I will also put around
the outside of that good potting soil with a little
bit of core COI R and a little bit of
(38:52):
soil moist mixed in with that. And then I will
go through and I'm gonna poke some channels down with
a pencil or a wooden dowl in that and sprinkle
a little bit of soil moist in those as well.
That should help to cut down on our water and
hold a little moisture, more moisture there for us and
hopefully make that plant a little bit happier. I'll tell
(39:14):
you what, even though it dries up by the end
of the day, I mean, it's just wilded. It's down
and it comes right back up. And once you water
it or it starts to cool down, it starts to
come up a little bit, but you gotta water it.
What a show if you've never grown those before. I mean,
they really produce a lot of flowers. And this happens
to be a new series that is a citrus peel
(39:39):
peel us, Yeah, something like that. Anyway, it's an it's
kind of a citrusy orange, dark orange and a dark center.
Really attractive flower citrus appeal, I think is what it's called.
Really cool series. But man, they put out the flowers
even under the conditions of being drought dry, they still
(40:02):
could produce for you. So keep that one in mind
for a hanging basket next year, and again if you
can protect that from the heat of the afternoon sun.
They like the sun, but it's a little bit easier
on it, which I think is pretty much true for
about any plant out there, pretty much any annual out there.
You know, you can protect them from that two to
(40:23):
five three to you know somewhere in that two to
three hour period from the heat, they usually perform a
lot better for you. But again that's another one to
put on your list as far as annuals because it's
a providing annuals. It's great. And I did we did
that one, and I also planted an individual one that's
in a planter box on a trellis and it's now
(40:44):
pretty much filling in the trellis and just starting to
give us some color there. It was a small one
and we're just now starting to get some color there.
But it doesn't wilt down like the one in the
hanging basket because it's not subject to the full sun
exposed dried out a lot of plants in a small
area blah blah blah. So it shows you the difference
between the baking basket and the ground. So anyway, as
(41:05):
we're walking around and managing by walking around right now,
remember keep dead heading, keep pinching those annuals back to
keep them nice and full. Watch your watering spot treat
if needed. And this is you know what, when you're
walking around, if you're not doing a you know, if
you're not actually running a sprinkle, but you just need
a spot treat here and there. That's whether your DRAM
d R a MM DRAM watering wands really come in
(41:27):
handy because that watering wand is just they get the
longest one. It's perfect. You got the thumb control, shut
it off, walk around, you see something, you can turn
that on and the watering head on a dram. Their
dram watering heads are outstanding and there's four hundred that
I think in one holes in the end of that thing.
So it makes a really nice, strong but yet soft
(41:50):
and gentle watering that pierces right into the root ball,
pierces right into the soil. You can put that right
in the middle of the plant and soak that bad
boy really well and then move on and do that.
So if you kind of have to walk around like
I especially I am right now with those rebeccas, you
know that works out very nicely. You don't have to
carry anything you have to bend over that watering one,
(42:12):
and the same way with hanging baskets and all. That
watering one is great. You can poke that right in
around the base of the plants. You're not watering the foliage.
You're watering the soil only, and the way the water
comes out of that is great. As a matter of fact,
in the garden centers, if they have balden burlap plants
that are that are B and B balden bur laft
trees and that that need to be watered, they'll take
that head on a watering You can stand there and
(42:34):
put that head right on the top of the burr lap,
and the way the water comes out of that head
will go right through the burlap and soak right into
the root ball. But what's interesting is if you feel it,
it's a very soft and gentle, but you're very forceful.
And that's what the key is with that dram watering.
The watering head I think it's called the four one
(42:56):
or four ten or something like that. But anyway, that
and the watering one a great combination to move around
in water and water the plants, not the foliage, all right.
And when I say not the foliage, it's not because
we don't want water on the foliage. It's gonna he's
gonna leave sunburn on there. That doesn't work. That's a myth.
That doesn't happen, all right. You don't burn your leaves
(43:17):
by leaving water on the leaves. That's not it. We
don't want to set up the leaves for a fungused
and problems, disease problems. So we water the soil. We
don't waste it on the foliage. We water the soil,
not the leaves. And that dram watering one does a
great job for doing that for you. All right, another
break and then we come back. We'll continue sharing tips
with you. Coming up the bottom of the next hour,
(43:38):
we're gonna do a little Southern gardening with Gary Bachman.
He's gonna give us an update what's going on in
the Southern States with the gardening right now. They're getting
into that heat wave. This is there. They're like three
or four weeks. That's just absolute eight double hockey sticks
bad news down there. So we'll find out how they
garden through that, and then of course taking your calls
at eight hundred eight two three eight two five five,
(43:59):
here the carden, Ron Wilson.
Speaker 5 (44:18):
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'm Ron Wilson, your personal yard boy. It's hot outside
talking about yardening. That's kicking off with a cup of Joe.
It's the Joe Strecker Executive producer. But it's hot outside.
Find out what's going on in his long and landscape.
Not a lot because it's hot outside. Our website, Ron
Wilson online dot com Facebook page. In the Garden with
Ron Wilson. Good morning, sir. Yes, it is very hot outside.
(00:57):
That's you're loving it. I'm loving it. And you know
because because it's so hot, you don't have to do
much outside. Well, it's a good excuse not to do
anything outside. That's besides water. That's it. Yeah, that's it.
Are you watering?
Speaker 2 (01:14):
What?
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Are you ready for this?
Speaker 2 (01:16):
I'm not watering.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
What.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
How'd your neighbor's new landscape turnout?
Speaker 2 (01:22):
It looked really, it's really it's it's really nice.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
They did a good job. Good, they did a good job.
Did you Apparently you did a drive by? I did,
and you saw my yard. They look good. It looks
like it's terrible. Well, the grass look good, the weeds
look good. The weeds look good. Well, you got to
redo that strip, little thing between the sidewalking. I don't
(01:46):
know if i'm I'm I'm thinking about just making it
a lot again, making it what making it grass again?
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Oh, that'd be hard to mow at least, just maulch it.
I don't know. I don't know what I'm gonna do.
Take anything out, maulch it.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
I don't know what I'm gonna do with that yet,
either either mulchit or or put rocks.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
We may have to take a look at that this fall,
the little project there. Yeah, Joey's in the afternoon. Get
some volunteers to stop by.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Well, since the garden ferry is kind of in retirement,
he can come over to my house.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Yeah, anytime, just anytime, just to swing by. Yeah, go
on by. They even had a dingo in their front
yard moving stuff around.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Yeah, they were. They were working hard. They were, They're
really working hard. And trust my dogs hated it, did
they because they want to go out there and bark
at them? Did they just work on the front they
know they brought him back and not to evergreen screens
between the two of you. No, not really, but they
but the dogs, they they saw I mean, they heard
(02:44):
and they saw and they were just like, we want
to go out there and bark at them because they're
not supposed to be there, and that's what dogs do,
Yes they do, but no, no, they stayed inside.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Good for you guys, work. I thought you'd be surprised that.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I I know, I was surprised for a second there,
I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
But then yeah, it's like, oh, yeah, there's two weeks ago.
Two weeks wasn't this week? It was last week? Was

Speaker 2 (03:09):
They were. They were there a couple of weeks ago,
right before the holiday, right, and they were there this week.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Okay too, I guess finish. I saw him at the
very begin of that. So there were the plants and
had a dingo run across the yard. Look get that.
Ye yep, she's a nice lady. Good good. So yeah,
it's hot and uh that's pretty much it. And I
(03:35):
can report that your banana is about four feet tall?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Four foot tall? What'd you stand next to it?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Yeah? I walked your yard. No you did not. You
did not.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
If if you walked, if you walked my yard, my
dogs would have noticed.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
No, I didn't I'm quiet. I'm like, I'm like a ninja, stealthy,
I'm like a ninja, the yard boy ninja. Then people
say that your garden guy was here today and they say,
I didn't have a I don't have a gardening guy.
Well there was a truck here with a gardening name
on it and he was walking around your yard. They're like,
maybe then I slipped out. Maybe need to make a
(04:11):
new graphic. You may have to gardening ninja, gardening ninja.
There you go. Yeah, but it's about four and a
half feet tall. Now yeah, well great, so there you
go a little close to the house. Well that's where
it ended up. Well, I know with the bed that's there. Yeah,
so but yeah, we might have to take a look
(04:31):
at that kind of spruce that strip up a little bit. Well,
when you're up I don't know. I don't know when
you're up for it, I don't know. I'm just don't
do low maintenance. Take it easy. Well, yeah, I'm all
about roses there. I learned that from Sally. Oh yeah absolutely,
but yeah, no roses or anything like that. All low maintenance.
(04:52):
Take everything out, yeah, clean it up. We could do
that a couple hours, all right, let's do it. Okay,

Speaker 1 (05:39):
I heard him talking about another research thing that came
out about processed foods. I get it, I get it.
I understand it says it's going to be processed foods.
I mean, it could be fresh, but if it's smoked.
See if you put it on a smoker, it could
be fresh. Uh it's that's that's smokers in that category. Sorry, Okay,

I think they're saying tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Well, they keep on saying it, and everything always misses
us or miss me.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
We haven't had hardly anything. We had a couple of
showers that came through and that's about it. I mean
they were just on Monday. When on Monday, when it
came through, we got like a downpour for like ten
to fifteen minutes and it came down pretty hard. But
that was it, and it just made it muggy here.
Oh yeah, yeah, those quick showers. It's like, oh my god.
(06:54):
Now you see the steam coming off the black top. Yeah,
but it's like, oh, let's go outside. But other than that, nothing,
Maybe we should get I think we should. What's he
gonna do? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
He's the he's the guy that's the amateur mediaologist.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
So what's he gonna do. Let's just dial up the
rain bringing on. Maybe he'll call us, Maybe he can
call in give us an update.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Sure, he's in the chut room. I'm sure he is,
so talking about Ron roth House. Is there any guests today?
Is he one of them?
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Let's see. No, he's not, but he could be. He
calls in. We've been more happy to talk to him.
Here you go. We have one specific guest. Now, we
have Gary Sullivan, we have Buggy Joe, we have you,
Danny Gleeson in between, but we have a little southern
gardening today. Cool mister Gary Bachman's going to join us.
Here you go. They're getting ready now you talk about hot.
(07:47):
They're getting ready to go into their heat stretch for
the summer. This is where it really cranks up. So
it's like an in between of their seasons. So he's
gonna tell us what they do the same of the
year besides stay in the house and pull the shades down.
So but that guess you're getting ready to go into that.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
So grow a whole bunch of stuff in an earth box.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Now. See, you always talk about you want you're going
to go to Arizona when you retire because it's hot
out there. Why didn't you ever look at Mississippi or
Alabama or Florida?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
The real reason? Yeah, because I just I want to
move west. Okay, I don't want to move south. I
want to move west.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Got it. Of course, it's you're talking high humidity and
you're talking low humidity. Oh I'm also talking.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
I can watch the super Bowl at two o'clock local time,
and then when the time the game is over us
to have time to have fun.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
There you go. I still remember going to Tucson on
a Saturday college football and watching it, got up at
eight o'clock and watching college foot game day at eight
in the morning, eating eggs. Yeah, yeah, that's what I
want to do. Yeah, there you go. There, that's the
bottom line right there.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
That's so that's theah, that's all right. So if Gary
Batman's on, I'm going to assume he's on in the
next hour. He is, So Ron Rothhouse could probably call
back in white up the next then.

Yeah, go ahead, Ron, six thirty seven. He's got the number.
You've got give us an update. You've got the number. Yeah,

hope people appreciate him.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Uh this week Buggy Joe. Yeah, but he had several
postings for you to choose from a couple of posts
about the cicados. Yeah, came through. So that's all done.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
And then there's uh something about that Thomas de Hawes
has about about trees, so check that out. Rito's recipe
of the week is zucchini bread.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Great timing, it is timing it starts to come on
now then you start thinking about what am I going
to do with all those.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah, I'm not a big zucchini bread fan.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
But I'm not either, But how about that recipe? Oh yeah,
it's definitely a twist to the normal zucchini bread right exactly,
because you know, you can use zucchini for any kind
of filler. But I'm not, and I'm like you, But
a pineapple zucchini recipe, Okay, that's a different story. It
is now we got the pineapple flavor in there. It is.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I just you know, I love those. I love breads, yeah,
and I love like nut bread and banana bread. I
used to love zucchini bread, but I just had so
much of it.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
I think it was one year we had so much zucchini.
I think we had zucchini bread for weeks and I
was just like, I can't eat this anymore. So so yeah,
I kind of lots of taste for it.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Peaches are my favorite fruit. They are. But my wife
will go and get from the peach truck tour those
big case and then we eat peaches like twice, three
times a day, and I get peached out.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Well. Well, and if you don't eat them fast enough,
they rock.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Well.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
She does other things with them besides eating them fresh.
She cooks them. She makes these little things of freezes,
you know, so she mixes it up. But you know,
it's just I get kind of peached out. I can't
understand that. But I love peaches.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I love peaches too, nice little fuzzy peaches.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
And shake your trees nice and all the time. Oh baby. Okay,
the plants of the week this week are can give
me a little background music music. Okay. The first one
(11:50):
is Russian sage. Yes, that's a pollinator. It is putting
out some good flowers right now.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
If you want your monarchs, definitely.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
And they that back at the rush. You see it everywhere.
But it just keeps like that right on through the summer.
I mean that one just hangs right in there. So
pretty tough, pretty durable. Cut it back in the springtime.
It's all you have to do. I know one thing.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I used to have one of those in my yard
and that thing grew, and especially when I got hot,
that thing multiplied. You can watch that thing and grow.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Oh yeah, they're tough, they're durable. They and it's you know,
it's lavender purple blue flower, not purple lavender blue flower.
It's it's it's just tough. And there's so many different
varieties now that are more compact, more upright, spread it,
you know, all of that, so you have all to
choose from.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
You get you can get out of the upgrade. Yeah,
so check that out. I like the names of those. Yeah,
they're pretty cool. Yeah, huh huh uh. And the second one,
there's two places of the week this week. The second
one is the Mexican sunflower.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
I had to throw that. I've been mentioning that, but
I haven't had any pictures posted, so we thought we'd
better put that up there. I mean, that thing is
just it's too You probably can't find them now in
the garden centers, but put it on your list if
your garden center doesn't row them for next year for
an annual. That thing is absolutely gorgeous. It flowers like
that all summer long, and the butterflies and pollinators love it,
butterflies especially, and you'll see hummingbirds all over too. It's big.
(13:12):
Give it plenty of room. But man, that Mexican sunflower
is something else. Tithonia. There you go. So there you
have that.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
All right, Well, let's get started. Open the phone's and
let's get some callers on. I'm ready to go, all right,

Welcome back here in the garden with Ron Wilson again.
That toll free number would be eight hundred eight two
three eight two five five. Don't forget it, write it down,
put it on the refrigerator. We're here to help you
out to be as successful as we can and you
can in your yardening endeavors. And of course, if you
like to share your experiences with us, we like that
even better. We love hearing from folks that say, hey,
(18:27):
this is what I did and it worked for me.
Or here's a plant that I planted and it worked
for me, or didn't work for me. I'll take that too,
because if it didn't work for you, you know, don't
make us go through it and find out it doesn't work. Right.
We'll find out and we'll share that information. How about
your tomatoes right now? I have gotten more emails over
the last ten days or so from folks saying, in
(18:49):
our area anyway you it could be different where you're
listening to our show, but in our area saying, man,
what is with the lack of tomatoes? Vines look good? Unfortunately,
my mom's and you know I always plan her as
several containers of cherry tomatoes usually experiment with one or
two different ones, which I have the big dwarf growing
at her house, and man, that's a good looking plant.
(19:12):
But it does have a tomato and it's a nice
ize beefsteak tomato.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
One.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
I think there were two one was coming on only
one though, but and a few peppers and things like that.
But anyway, same way on hers, you know, the couple
of them have gotten a sup tory leaf spot. Got
it early, man, and it's just kind of wiping out
those bottom leaves. But the tomatoes that are there look good,
and it's not gonna affect those tomatoes. They will ripen,
but definitely not as many. Definitely not as many flowers
(19:40):
so far. As a matter of fact, hers just because
we had a shade tree close by so they always
had filtered sun. Now it's full sun. But nevertheless, tomatoes
in our area are late. There's no doubt about it,
whether it be production or ripening or actual production of
the you know, the flowers actually forming and in setting fruit.
(20:01):
And again, like I said, I talked to our tomato
professional tomato grower, Terry Diefenbacker last week and he said,
of all of the years. And he's been doing this forever.
I mean, man's old, old, and he's been doing it forever.
He's probably laughing right now, but he's his family's been
doing it for a long time. And you know, he said,
this is the latest ever that they have not had
(20:23):
ripe tomatoes. And I think they planted the first week
of May. So it's been a little frustrating. But all
I can tell you is this, keep watering, feed as needed,
don't overfeed him, definitely, don't overfeed him, and be patient.
They will come. Eight hundred eight two three eight two
five five. That's our number here in the Garden with
Ron Wilson. Green tom or not.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
Ron can help at one eight hundred eighty two three

Speaker 1 (23:03):
We're talking yard ning at eight hundred eight two three
eight two five five. Good morning. I am Ron Wilson,
your personal yard boy. Don't forget our websites Ron Wilson
online dot com. All kinds of great information on there
for you, including if you're zucchinis, we're talking about tomatoes
being a little bit slow and late in our area.
If your zucchinis are coming on strong and you know
(23:23):
they're the size of that baseball bat. You can still
use those, you know. I think Olsue Extension does a
share zucchini or share Zucchini Day or put zucchini on
your neighbor's porch day, something like that. Anyway, you know,
you make all finds, all kinds of ways to use
up the zucchini. Uh. But she has a nice twist here,
and I like it because, you know, you kind of
get tired of the zucchini as we were talking about,
(23:44):
you know, you don't eat so much of it. But
it's it's got pineapple in it. No, that's a different story.
Talking about putting little pineapple with the zucchini sounds sounds
pretty good to me. Yeah, I think I can handle that.
So check it out. It's at Ron Wilson online dot
com and Joe has a great posting there. We talk
about periodical cicadas and possible mysterious bug bites, kind of
(24:06):
a some of the periodicals. Let's show you about them
a little bit. But what happens this time of the year.
You're out at a picnic, all right, or maybe it's
in your own yard and you're under an oak tree
and you're having a great time, and all of a
sudden you realize you're starting itch around your neck, around
your shoulders, you know, basically on the top part of
(24:27):
your body, starting to get break and all of a
sudden you're breaking out a little bit of a rash.
And it's like, what is going on here? And I
still remember my brother in law. They were somewhere and
a sat perfect scenario, huge oak trees, picnic underneath tables
and all he came away with this huge rash on
his neck and his ears and his back and his shoulders.
(24:47):
Well it's a it's a small mite that actually causes
the leaves of the oak to to turn into a
gull right around the edges, and they will drop out
of the tree. And when they drop out of the tree,
and if they land on you, they will they can
bite you. And these things are micro. I mean, he's
a little little bit guys, so you really don't notice them,
(25:08):
but they will land on you and bite you and
cause this big rash. And it's not a pretty site
and it doesn't feel good either. And it's like the
mysterious bug bite word and I didn't see anything. Whatever, Well,
that's what it is, and it's interesting and this does happen,
and it may have happened to you sometime in the
past and you're like, I always wondered what that was. Well,
(25:30):
that's probably what it was. But if you want to
learn more about it, go to our website at run
Wilson online dot com and you will see periods, periodical
cicadas and possible mysterious bug bites, and then then it'll
tell you all about us. To be sure and check
that out. Of course, we continue to post Buggy Joe
Boggs all the Ohio State University Extension beagles there so
(25:50):
you can see those. You can also get them on
their website at bygl osu dot e. Du Rita's recipes
you can always count on her recipes every week as well.
And by the way, will be with this next Saturday.
See what's going on in here her yard and garden
this time of the year. I'll tell you what it is,
hot hot hot. It is dry, dry, dry in our area.
(26:12):
Right now. I planted, you know, we pretty much finished
up all the containers. And containers are one thing, you know.
You plant those containers up, you water them, I really
soak them well. They'll last a couple of days. Before
you put a little soil moist in there, some core
in there. You can get them to last a couple
of days and really soak them well, and plants start
to root in and then you're you know, you go
(26:33):
to water on a regular basis, But that's because it's
container gardening. Well, I planted purposely, and I seriously did
this on purpose. I planted this week, and I think
I did it on Monday. I'm pretty sure it was Monday,
maybe Tuesday. Three American gold rush rebeccia. I love that plant.
(26:54):
And we had a little spot in our front landscape,
established landscape, little triangular area that was oh and I
forget what I had in there before, but I had
taken it out. So we planted three in there to
make a nice clumping. And so I held off purposely
to plant these because I said, you know what, they'll
kind of give me the you know, explaining to somebody
(27:14):
as I go through the summer trying to keep these
things watered in this bed and this bed is not irrigated,
I do not wish to bring I have to bring
a sprinkler out there unless we get into a serious
drought situation to water that. But it's really dry. Got
them planted, really watered, and well when I got done,
soaked them in well. But what's interesting is, and this
(27:34):
is where you start to get into this fight. It's like,
wait a second, I just watered those. When you get
the surrounding soil is not moist as well, it just
sucks that out of there like a sponge. And that's
why I say I purposely did that, just to see
how quickly. And it's good soil, it's a very well
prepped bed, but man, as it sucked that out of there,
(27:55):
and they're just trying to be watering that triangular area
where these are planted. I have had to do that
at at least once, if not twice a day, and
again wilted down by four o'clock in the afternoon it's
full sun and not the moisture's not there. It's already gone.
So you know, it just shows you how important and
(28:16):
you know that you've got to stick with these. And
if I was really busy, if I had things doing,
if I wasn't paying attention to them and not watering
on a regular basis or monitoring as I needed to water,
you know, a day or two of that and those
things are toast. And that's how quickly these things can happen.
So many times I see folks that say I planted them,
(28:37):
blah blah blah. Yeah, I'm watering on a regard basis.
You skip one or two this time of the year,
you know, where they're still not rooted in enough to
you know, try to really hold their own. They're going
to be toast. I know this week, I couple three
folks emailing me about barbary, and you know, Barbary. I
love barbary, pick me barbary, all the maroon foliage. I
(28:59):
love those plants, but the one and they'll tolerate a
dry condition. They'll tolerate droughts fairly well once established. But
until that thing gets established, you know, you let that
dry out. One time, Barbary dry out. One time, it's toast.
It's done, and it's you know, it's it's almost as
picky as evergreens. For the first two or three years.
(29:20):
You've got to keep that in there. And if you
await for a week or two or ten days on
vacation and somebody doesn't water this for you, or you
didn't pay a lot of attention to them, and didn't
water them. I'm telling you those things will go into
toast with and that's exactly what I was seeing. So
it's a very difficult time right now. I get that
you got to monitor, you got to stay on top
of it basically as I want, you know, looking at
(29:41):
our right now and our landscape at all, my two
things are dead heading, pinching, annuals as best needed and
perennials as needed, watching for insects. Not really much out
there going on right now as far as insects goes
in our area and keeping them more to what needs
to be watered. And I think that's really key right
(30:03):
now as we try to get through these hot dry
period to keep these plants going. And again, like I said,
I did that on purpose because I wanted to see
what it would take, you know. And these are tough
plants again, you know, Rubeccia, once it's established, tough, durable.
But again it's getting it established and it's always fun
to see other plants who takes it the best. And
I'm telling you and you for me, talk about these
(30:25):
before Ruella, which is Mexican petunia ruella. You give that
a week to get established in the ground or in
a container and that bad boy you you know, it'll
weld a little bit, but not much Perrilla Angelonia, Liiza machia,
if you know, if you like creeping genya hanging down
(30:47):
the side of the pots, unbelievable what they'll take as
far as drying out, still flowering and still looking good
for you. One last thing, and I'll kind of leave
this as a teaser. We have one hanging basket and
I'm not big on hanging baskets, but we got a
couple of them. Missus Wilson wanted to put on their
swing garden swing, but anyway, it's a black Eyed Susan,
(31:08):
the vining one and having some issues with that. I'm
going to take a break and then we'll come back.
I'll tell you what I did with that. But in
the meantime, we open the funds for you, obviously at

And you know you talk about aggressive hand, you'll find
that bad boy takes over everywhere. Well, we hung this
on the end of our garden swing, which has you know,
a lattice over the top of it, and the goal
is to get it to grow on the side and
the cross the top. And my wife's been taking it
and put it out of it. But anyway, there's another one.
It's in a twelve inch container. That you just cannot
(37:08):
keep enough moisture in that container. By the end, you
watered every day and by three o'clock it's dry as
a bone. And the problem with hanging baskets we get
into this time of the year is a lot of
times when you buy hanging baskets, you know they're planted
a little bit tighter than you normally would plant in
a landscape bed or a container whatever, because you want
(37:29):
a nice show. So the garden centers will do that.
It's it's it happens, and it's nice and tight. But
what happens is you started getting into July and August,
those plants have all filled in, They've rooted in that
whole thing. If you turn it over and pull the
soil out of the pot, it'd be just a solid
mass of roots and very little soil. That's the way
(37:50):
it happens. And so you know, by the time you start,
you know, getting into August, some of those hanging baskets
start to look pretty darn rough because you just can't
keep up with the water. And of course the nutrients
levels goes down and they're all competing for that's gonna
be tough. And even with this black eyed Susan, the
vining one. It's it likes a lot of moisture anyway,
(38:11):
And there's quite a few in that plant. That hanging basket,
and again twelve inch baskets. If anybody buys anything less
than twelve inch basket, I don't know how you keep
them water through the summertime. I don't know how you
do it. But anyway, so now what I'm gonna do
is we're gonna I'm gonna go get a fourteen inch
hanging basket nose a're availab. We can get them bigger
(38:31):
than that as well, but fourteen inch will just very
gently take this off the bottom. We'll just very gently
put a new one back on top and reconnect the
hangars to the pot. And I will also put around
the outside of that good potting soil with a little
bit of core COI R and a little bit of
(38:52):
soil moist mixed in with that. And then I will
go through and I'm gonna poke some channels down with
a pencil or a wooden dowl in that and sprinkle
a little bit of soil moist in those as well.
That should help to cut down on our water and
hold a little moisture, more moisture there for us and
hopefully make that plant a little bit happier. I'll tell
(39:14):
you what, even though it dries up by the end
of the day, I mean, it's just wilded. It's down
and it comes right back up. And once you water
it or it starts to cool down, it starts to
come up a little bit, but you gotta water it.
What a show if you've never grown those before. I mean,
they really produce a lot of flowers. And this happens
to be a new series that is a citrus peel
(39:39):
peel us, Yeah, something like that. Anyway, it's an it's
kind of a citrusy orange, dark orange and a dark center.
Really attractive flower citrus appeal, I think is what it's called.
Really cool series. But man, they put out the flowers
even under the conditions of being drought dry, they still
(40:02):
could produce for you. So keep that one in mind
for a hanging basket next year, and again if you
can protect that from the heat of the afternoon sun.
They like the sun, but it's a little bit easier
on it, which I think is pretty much true for
about any plant out there, pretty much any annual out there.
You know, you can protect them from that two to
(40:23):
five three to you know somewhere in that two to
three hour period from the heat, they usually perform a
lot better for you. But again that's another one to
put on your list as far as annuals because it's
a providing annuals. It's great. And I did we did
that one, and I also planted an individual one that's
in a planter box on a trellis and it's now
(40:44):
pretty much filling in the trellis and just starting to
give us some color there. It was a small one
and we're just now starting to get some color there.
But it doesn't wilt down like the one in the
hanging basket because it's not subject to the full sun
exposed dried out a lot of plants in a small
area blah blah blah. So it shows you the difference
between the baking basket and the ground. So anyway, as
(41:05):
we're walking around and managing by walking around right now,
remember keep dead heading, keep pinching those annuals back to
keep them nice and full. Watch your watering spot treat
if needed. And this is you know what, when you're
walking around, if you're not doing a you know, if
you're not actually running a sprinkle, but you just need
a spot treat here and there. That's whether your DRAM
d R a MM DRAM watering wands really come in
(41:27):
handy because that watering wand is just they get the
longest one. It's perfect. You got the thumb control, shut
it off, walk around, you see something, you can turn
that on and the watering head on a dram. Their
dram watering heads are outstanding and there's four hundred that
I think in one holes in the end of that thing.
So it makes a really nice, strong but yet soft
(41:50):
and gentle watering that pierces right into the root ball,
pierces right into the soil. You can put that right
in the middle of the plant and soak that bad
boy really well and then move on and do that.
So if you kind of have to walk around like
I especially I am right now with those rebeccas, you
know that works out very nicely. You don't have to
carry anything you have to bend over that watering one,
(42:12):
and the same way with hanging baskets and all. That
watering one is great. You can poke that right in
around the base of the plants. You're not watering the foliage.
You're watering the soil only, and the way the water
comes out of that is great. As a matter of fact,
in the garden centers, if they have balden burlap plants
that are that are B and B balden bur laft
trees and that that need to be watered, they'll take
that head on a watering You can stand there and
(42:34):
put that head right on the top of the burr lap,
and the way the water comes out of that head
will go right through the burlap and soak right into
the root ball. But what's interesting is if you feel it,
it's a very soft and gentle, but you're very forceful.
And that's what the key is with that dram watering.
The watering head I think it's called the four one
(42:56):
or four ten or something like that. But anyway, that
and the watering one a great combination to move around
in water and water the plants, not the foliage, all right.
And when I say not the foliage, it's not because
we don't want water on the foliage. It's gonna he's
gonna leave sunburn on there. That doesn't work. That's a myth.
That doesn't happen, all right. You don't burn your leaves
(43:17):
by leaving water on the leaves. That's not it. We
don't want to set up the leaves for a fungused
and problems, disease problems. So we water the soil. We
don't waste it on the foliage. We water the soil,
not the leaves. And that dram watering one does a
great job for doing that for you. All right, another
break and then we come back. We'll continue sharing tips
with you. Coming up the bottom of the next hour,
(43:38):
we're gonna do a little Southern gardening with Gary Bachman.
He's gonna give us an update what's going on in
the Southern States with the gardening right now. They're getting
into that heat wave. This is there. They're like three
or four weeks. That's just absolute eight double hockey sticks
bad news down there. So we'll find out how they
garden through that, and then of course taking your calls
at eight hundred eight two three eight two five five,
(43:59):
here the carden, Ron Wilson.
Speaker 5 (44:18):
Landscaping Ladies, ear with your personal yard boy. He's in
