Speaker 1 (00:35):
Eight hundred eight two three eight two five five Give morning.
I am Ron Wilson, your personal yard boy, talking about yarding.
Rainy days, hot days, stormy days, thunder days, lightning days,
sunny days. It's been all over the board that and
it's all been one thing along with all of those.
It's been hot, and that means that Joe's treker is
(00:57):
still a happy camper. Let's kick it all with our
cup of Joe, Miss Joe Struck. Our executive producer Findal
was going to his lawn, his landscape, of course, our website,
Ron Wilson online dot com, Facebook page in the garden
with Ron Wilson. It's been hot and sticky. But I'm
gonna say something that's probably gonna shock you that Wait
a second, let me hang on to the Okay, got
a hold the arms of my chair. All the rain
(01:19):
that we had this week, you got none. I got
barely any. Yeah, it's just been really isolated. I mean
I think we got a little bit on Thursday, just
a little bit on Friday. That what's it? All the
other rain missed us. We've been getting pretty good showers,
(01:39):
but I knew other Kentucky got hammered on they're still Thursday.
Why is it They're they're getting that that front of
those frontes come up stay right below the Ohio River
kind of tiptoe up into Cincinnati a little bit now.
And I watched a radar because yeah, because I mean,
Rothhouse might be an amateur meteorologist, but I like watching them.
You still watch the radar. I still you're just looking
(02:00):
for lightning strikes, though, And so I'm watching and I'm
watching and watching it, and I'm just like, oh, here
it comes here, come there, it goes it just for
some reason, it right as soon as it hits in.
But you're watching for lightning strikes and thunder. I mean,
I'm got into it just from doing this job and
and over the years, you know, talking to meteorologists like
(02:24):
you know, the ones that we work with, and non
meterologists like Pat Berry, who was great at that. He
was he was I'm not I like Pad Barry. He was.
He was the best. Miss that man. He was was
the greatest. But yeah, I mean, I you know, start
(02:45):
doing this job. He kind of watched the weather and
you learn how to what to see because you know,
it affects her job. And but still I was just
watching that radar and it's just nothing, absolutely nothing. Yeah,
it has been pretty isolated, but we we've lucked out.
We've gotten it. So we really haven't water too much
this week. Even our containers haven't had to water too much.
(03:06):
A couple of times, but not much. Hopefully we'll get
some today, especially in in the on the west side
of town. I mean they I think, I think a
shower came through this morning. But how's your neighbor's landscape.
You've been able to get out in the water through
all this, No, her her her kids come over and
water and water. So yeah, yeah, I mean that it's
(03:31):
been that's been done just goes to show you you
can put landscaping in the middle of July. I just
need to I'm you know, I'm seriously I might. I
might get with whoever with the people that did are
landscaping and uh and try to contract that out because
one thing I hate doing other than mowing the lawn
is weeding. I cannot stand weeding. Yet I get it,
(03:57):
so I mean need some weeding. That's why that's why
they make kills all with a pump tank. And I
might need as you can just walk along. I'm gonna need.
I'm gonna need like a vat of kills all. I
need a tank truck full. Yeah, just yeah, it's pretty bad.
But I did notice kind of there that stripped between
(04:20):
the sidewalk in the driveway. Well, that's why I said
last week, I said, we need to get on that
right away. Well, it's it's pretty nasty. Fifteen minutes we
have that cleaned up. Really, Okay, you're hired. I'll see
you later. I'll have well, well forget you get that
stuff on the grill. I'll be happy to have cold beverages.
(04:42):
I'll be happy to have a couple of a couple
of slips, little Willie Nelson slives and uh some steaks.
So yeah, if you want to do that. Playing in
the background, you heard that America Ron Wilson's gonna come
over my garden. Yeah, a hard time weeding my own. Yeah,
(05:04):
that's what I said. You need a thing of pump
spray with a spray water. I might need fire. We
can get you one of those the dragon torch. Uh wow,
little well, put a little propane tank on there, walk around,
burn them off. Dragon fairy, the dragon fairy, the garden fairy.
(05:25):
Drop it off. See that was. That was another one
of those we always tried to get on the show
so that one of us could BUYE one of those
real cheap and get you know, yea share that bad boy. Wow,
that didn't light light the mulch on fire and burn
your house down. I think I'm gonna tear off that
that whole area and just put rocks in there, and
(05:46):
think twice about the rocks. But you put him there,
it's hard to get rid of them, and you got it,
scoop them all out again. I'm not playing on putting
anything there anymore. All right, we'd eventually come up through rocks. Yeah,
but I don't have a fluff fluff up and you
don't have to do anything to get a crusty's as
for sure. I don't have to fluff anything up, and
(06:06):
I don't have to put new malt new rocks down
every couple of years. So do I have any guests today?
Now that I'm depressed? Do you have any guests today? Yeah?
Last week we had the Gary Bakman scheduled and soon
is he working out? Mister Bachman uh overslept because he
(06:32):
was too busy. Well, I told you, but he forgot
he totally for anyone. Oh my gosh, I am so embarrassed.
So anyway, he is if you follow him on Facebook,
he's like a he's like the work, always on the go,
always on the go. But yeah, so we we got
him rescheduled for it. I said, let's just give another try.
So I'm pretty sure he'll make it this time. And
then readers with us this morning. Cool, So we'll talk
(06:54):
about her recipe, what you're going to talk about here
in a minute, and what is going on in her
garden as well. So those are two yes, Scarry Sol
and Buggy Joe Boggs, you, Danny Gleeson and me in
between Facebook page in the garden with run Wilson. The
website I Ron Wilson online dot com. And there's a
couple of alerts from from Buggy Joe. Did you get
the one posted about the weeds and pals the seeds? Yeah, yes,
(07:16):
I got that one posted. See that's when you should
read a little don't let your weeds go to seed.
It's a little late now for that. How important that is.
And there's a couple other cool little tip sheets and
stuff going on, things that are happening right now. Cool.
So there's a lot going on. There's a lot going
on now. Rita is going to be on later like
you said, and it's time to get it started. I
(07:41):
knew you'd get fired up with that recipe. Yes, it's
the cherry bounce season. You gotta get it started because
you got to get it going for Christmas. I think
Barbie Bletcher started hers about a month ago. She got
to early jump on it. As soon as the cherries
are ready. She was out buying cherries and there you go,
get it started. They were shoe bottles of stuff. They're
going to experiment with the three stingers. Yeah, so we'll see.
(08:04):
It's so it's cherry bounce season, yep. And her cherry
side therefore you, I hope. So that is the best
lemon cello I ever had. It is so smooth you
don't even taste it, and it's very it's very it's
it's very dangerous, yes, because it tastes just like I
just remember watching you the first time she brought that in.
You were like, oh, I mean, you can't even taste it.
(08:28):
It was so smooth. Not that you're doing it in
the studios. I don't know what you're talking about. That's
what I said, you step out, but yeah, it was.
It was very smooth.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Well so it was a cherry bounce and she did
peach bounce one time and that was really good. I remember, gosh,
this was it's had it been five years ago when
we used to do the Thanksgiving special and she brought
in the cherry bounce that was made with the bourbon
from that that restaurant Indianapolis, the that Teresa Parker sent
(09:00):
you the recipe for that. Yeah. Uh, I forget the
name of the rest of the movie. Cherry it's a fire, okay,
and that's something to do with that. I've never been there.
That was pretty darn good. Yeah, pretty darn good. And
uh I actually have uh not last year's cherry bounce
(09:20):
because I didn't get any, uh, but the year before
when I actually got some cherry bounce, I still got
some of that. Well you said you just occasionally open
and go take a little sip. Hey, it's it stays,
it stays good. Yeah, oh I know. But I'm just saying,
you don't just drink it. You no, no, you can't
make it last. Chug it. You gotta get that. Yeah,
you sipt that. Yeah, I appreciate it. Is cherry bounce
(09:44):
done and pull a cherry out of there, Yes, very
much so. So if you're if you want to make
some cherry bout or if you don't have any idea
what we're talking about that most people make cherry bounce,
enjoy the cherry bounce. Yes, once you get started, you
enjoy the extra that's left over. The plants of the week, Yes,
(10:05):
the first one is the Indian cup plant. Yes, it
kind of looks like like some flower almost kind of
tell us about the Indian cup plant. You know that
picture that's on there. I think it's from Ron Roths's backyard.
It is, and that's one of his favorite plants. It's
a prairie plant. And what's cool about that you get
the flowers for the pollinators, but the way the leaves
(10:26):
come together on that stem and they're cupped, it holds water.
Indian cup got it, so the Indians actually would use
that for a source of water because it held water.
Plus the birds and the wildlife does the same thing
because of the water. There, so really cool looking plant.
And it coincides with the one that's right below it,
which is the compass plant, which is the compass plant,
which is buggy Joe Boggs one of his favorites. And
(10:50):
again another good prairie plant, great pollinator plant. And the
leaves are situated so it helps the direct to north
and south. So as they were going across the prairie,
they could look take a look at the coumps plant
figure where where they were going. So but yeah, when
you see those in mass plant things, they are spectacular.
But the wildlife loves them cool and you can grow
(11:12):
them in your own perennial garden. Well, I'm off to
the store to get some cherries. So you already have
the bounce, right, I got, I got plenty of bounce.
I just need the cherry. I wonder what shlive of
it's that bounce would be like, it might be interesting,
that could be a that could be something to try. Man,
it's live it's so expensive. I wouldn't want to there's
(11:36):
no cheap there's no cheap slive. And then the cherry
shlive of it's burn all the way down to your
toes still. But wow, it's expensive to experiment.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
It is.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
I mean when I went and bought your bottle one
time for Christmas, I was like, Wow, Yeah, they're not.
It's not. Yeah, you definitely got to take out a
bring a co signer with you when you get some.
So all right, all right, let's get out of all right,
have a great weekend. Relax, Try to get some sleep.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
At good morning, Welcome back here in the garden with
(16:46):
Ron Wilson again that total free number eight hundred eight
two three eight two five five. Talking about yardening, and
as Joe and I were talking earlier, very timely we've
had we've lucked out in our our yard. We've had
very timely showers over the last seven days or so.
Uh and they've been good, you know, pretty good soakers too.
And once we've got the moisture in the ground, it's
kind of been sticking there. We've had to water a
(17:08):
couple containers that don't get exposed to it quite as much.
But otherwise we've been pretty good. But again, as we look,
you know, I've got to you can continue to physically check,
to use your moisture meters, to use your rain gauges,
and see how much rain you got that they came
through as well. And again I say, consider all the
rain showers that come through as a bonus, build on
(17:31):
top of them. Don't count on those rain showers. As
a matter of fact, if you look at our forecasts,
I don't know about from where you are, but if
you look at our forecasts for the next seven to
ten days, I think every day has a chance of showers,
you know, the pop up afternoon showers, and the temperatures
get just right, and the humidity gets right, and the
monkey gets tight and they all get together and what
(17:53):
was that song anyway?
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (17:55):
And you know, and that's when all of a sudden
they just pop Damn. Gary Sullivan home and Pruven Buggy,
Joe Boggs and myself all live kind of in a
same line, several miles apart, but kind of the same line,
so a lot we kind of share the fronts that
can come across from west to east. It missed me.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
I think he came from the southwest up and so the.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Way it came up has been coming up lately. It
has been missing Dan but catching the other three of us.
So it's been really weird. But anyway, point being is
watch your rain gages physically, check to see how much
moisture you did get in the ground.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
You know.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
One of my tell tales out in the yard is
I'll take my square spade. I have a very sharp,
square hall aluminum am Leonard D shaped handles spade that
I've had for years and you'll never break it. And
it's a one time purchase it. It's outstanding. But anyway,
and get a good rainfall, take that out in the
(18:52):
yard and throw it down. You know. Now you throw
a shovel down and get us a stick into the ground,
not a record round point, but a square spade. And
if it hits the ground and goes ting and then
bounces back, I know we didn't get very much rainfall.
But if it goes down and he goes boo and
it sticks, then I know we did. And then I
can just kind of pull that back. I look down,
see how deep it went into the ground. Gives me
(19:14):
a good. It takes me twenty seconds to do. That
gives me a good indicator as far as what's going on.
So again, you know, check those as they come through. Physically,
look look at your rain gages, use your moisture meters. Remember,
newly planted trees and shrubs many times do not benefit
from some of these showers unless the surface water actually
(19:37):
runs to them and down into the hole. But otherwise
a lot of times, and if it's mounded, of course
it'll go around the outside of it, and if it's mounded,
it runs off the outside of it as well. But
you know, again physically check. This is a very important
time right now, as it is anytime during the year obviously,
but you know, to make sure we keep this good
even moisture as we work our way through probably the
(19:59):
hottest time of the summer over these next few weeks.
So stick with it. I'm still seeing some things, you know,
the leaf diseases popping up like crazy, powdery, mildew, brown
patch in the lawns, all kinds of leaf diseases in
the lawns is crazy. I think I mentioned last week
the folks from OSU Turf saying if there's anything out there,
(20:19):
that you can get in your lawn. It's getting it
right now, brown pats for most of us. If you
have like a turf type toll rescue or several of
the other grasses as well, seeing a little bit of
that right now. Not a lot you can do at
this point. We'll talk more about that after the break.
Got lots of tips to share. Taking your calls eight

Speaker 1 (22:56):
Talking to your ardening at eight hundred eight two three
eight two five five, good morning, I am Ron Wilson
your personal yard. Well, we don't forget our website Ron
Wilson online dot com, Facebook page in the garden with
Ron Wilson. Use a little chatting going on there on
Saturday mornings, so be sure and check that out as well,
and of course talking about the weather, which when we're
out working in the yard and garden, what is the
(23:17):
topic out there besides how beautiful things look or in
some cases how bad they might be looking because of
the weather. Weather is always at the top of the list,
so you know, you you deal with It's one of
those things I've always said, you know, I've been in
this business, the green industry, all my life for the
most part, and working with something that you have no
(23:38):
control over. You can do everything else that you want
to do right, but you have no control over the weather.
But you learn how to work around it and do
other things. But again counting those blow through showers as
a bonus showers, you know, and then physically checking. And
then of course I was talking about lawn diseases before
we went into the break and we are seeing some.
(24:00):
I'm brown patch especially, and it's really hard to tell
some of these things. I mean, Joe Boggs probably pretty
good if he had a lens, his lens and get
down and take a look at it. But a lot
of times you have to have samples unless somebody identify it.
And those services are available if you want to go
to that point and have these identified. Most states go
to your extension service and they'll direct you to a
(24:24):
lab that can help to diagnose and sometimes there's a fee,
sometimes there's not, but diagnose what's going on with your plans,
and I'll tell you how to wrap them up and
send them so that they stay fresh, et cetera. Set up.
A lot of times they can do that, especially with turf.
A lot of professional lawn care companies will do that
because it's very hard to identify it. There's no way
(24:44):
I can brown patch when I see it pretty much
know what that is. A red thread. You can understand
that one and a few others, but it's hard to
separate them out. But anyway, see a lot of brown
patch for sure, in a lot of the homeowner's lawns.
And I think the thing to remember, which was kind
of ironic, And I don't know if I brought this
up last week or not, but I'm sitting in a
traffic light and I'm looking at this yard and it's
(25:06):
a beautiful lawn. It's got the brown, hazy patches all
throughout the yard, and they had irrigation going on both sides.
It was in the morning, on both sides of the corners,
just soaking the heck out of that thing. Well, one
of the things to not do when you have brown
patch is to over irrigate, especially in the morning. You
(25:28):
know you want to do it early enough that it dries.
As soon as it starts drying, susan sun comes up,
and you only do it if absolutely necessary. So you know,
you're trying to keep the turf as dry as possible
to get through this brown patch. And yeah, you can
apply a funge a side. There are some out there
to help get it into check. But remember fung of
sides are preventators, preventatives, preventors preventatives rather than curatives in
(25:55):
many cases. So you can kind of get it into
check by using a funge a side, but there are
cultural things too. Don't feed it right now that type
of a thing. Keep mowing on a higher level and
all of that. But again the watering, you actually want
to cut back and here and it's a natural reaction again.
You know, you see plants starting to yell and lose leaves.
What do you do? You water more? It's just a
(26:16):
natural reaction. And there they were, and I should have
actually just left them a note. I don't think anybody
was home. I think they had it on a timer.
But I should have left the note, but I didn't.
But again, if you can try to find out or
get a general idea of what it is. Check with
your local garden center, local lawn care company, local extension
office to get a better feel for it and take
(26:36):
it from there. Also seeing right now where folks have
planted plants last year or the year before, last year,
especially and you know, last spring, and you've got a
whole year, a season and a half under your belt,
you know. And I think people think that once you
get into that point, you don't have to water like
you were doing when you first planted the plan. You know,
(26:58):
the first year. Well, in many cases, as you do,
especially when you get into a dry situation, hot and dry.
And right now I'm seeing a lot of plants that
put out a lot of foliage. I was looking at
a magnolia yesterday, but then for a year and two,
a year and a half and looking great, new growth,
looking great, leaves look great. Just I mean it was dense,
(27:22):
but starting to lose yellow leaves on the inside of
the plant. Now they're going to send me pictures to
make sure we don't have any magnolia scale but may
cause it to happen. But otherwise, my first question was,
you know, what's the water schedule been like, And the
answer was it's been raining. All spring. We really haven't
(27:44):
watered it because you know it's been in for a
year and a half. You know, we figured it was established,
blah blah blah. Well it's not, and more than likely
it's a reaction to the lack of moisture, especially when
you see those leaves dropping to the inside like that.
That's one thing that leafy plants, deciduous plants have the
opportunity to do, and that is to lose leaves to
compensate for the lack of moisture, so they can drop
(28:06):
some of those inner leaves, less transpiration, less lose being
lost out of the leaves, less moisture needed to supply
to those leaves, so they can do that. Where evergreens
obviously can't do that, and that's why it's so important
we talk about watering those evergreens on a regular basis,
especially during the dry times of the year. So again,
(28:27):
you know, it's a physical check. Moisture meters don't count
on the rainfalls. Count consider those a bonus check to
see how much you got each time it came through,
how far did it penetrate newly? And you know what
the other thing is a lot of times, especially with evergreens.
Look after a shower comes through. Look at the mulch
underneath the plant. A lot of times you'll see a
(28:48):
ring where the drip line where the leaves go out.
You'll see a ring underneath that where it's still dry
on the mulch but wet all the way around it.
They can be their own umbrella. Sometimes yeah, they can
collect water also and push it to the inside. But
sometimes it can be an umbrella as well. So again
it's just important to keep watching that monitor that do
(29:10):
it on a regular basis. If you're having problems with
the lawn right now, look really good up until this point.
Look at the weather, Look at the way things are
right now. There are a lot of lawn diseases that
are running pretty rampid right now. Check with your local extension,
Check with your local lawn care. Maybe take samples and
send them into a lab to be tested to see
(29:31):
what it is. But in most cases you may not
be able to do anything about it at this stage,
or if you do spray a fund just side kind
of get it into check. And of course you've got
we're about a month and a half away where we
start looking at what can you believe what I'm just
gonna say this September, and of course that's the best time.
They'll go back in and start renovating the lawn, core,
aer rating, seating, feeding and bringing it back to life again.
(29:53):
If that's the case. Before we take a break, pick
from Dayton.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
Good morning, Hey, good morning. How are you I am?
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Great house? Things going good? Good good?
Speaker 5 (30:03):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Uh, Well, my cousin's coming from Uh. He was from Malaria, Yeah,
you know, near Lorraine there. He was part of the
family that played music. He's gonna come see uh with
my friends Eddie and Mary and my other friend. But
that's gonna be nice. He's supposed to get here about
four o'clock today. Isn't that nice?
Speaker 1 (30:24):
That is nice. That is something for you to look
forward to, just visit.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Uh. He said he might stay a couple of days,
good to see what was I hope? So, but I went,
uh see what's the other day or yesterday? Bob picked
me up back to the Spring Bankers in Xenia and
we had a good time there. Chris plays, he plays you,
he teaches you. And I know one thing he told
(30:52):
me that Sue from the Strummers, you know, the ukulele
group Dick. Yeah, they missed me quite a bit. You know,
there was a big show I couldn't go. But you know,
you know what, you know, get around and I'm meeting
more people. I'm gonna be part time on the activities director.
We play like and me and Heather and what's her name, Lexi?
(31:16):
She she just you know, when when there's music, I'll
probably do a couple of songs. So I've been entertaining
the people outside when it's been nice.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
Good about that.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
I think that's outstanding.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
You know.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
I told you my grandson was in a ukulele group
at their middle school, and I guess that's becoming more
and more popular, getting kids involved playing the ukulele because
it's I guess fairly easy to learn how to play it.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
But maybe it is.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Maybe you should investigate and maybe you could go around
to some of the schools and help teach these young
kids how to play the ukulele. Yeah, yeah, and you
are instructor.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
Yeah. I go on Sunday morning, they have a couple Well,
I go to a couple of Bible studies and I
met a lady down there, her and her and her
husband or she said he was Italian and she's a gardener,
and she said, Dick.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
My.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
Friends listened to Ron Wilson and and my friends here
you every Saturday morning.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
All right, all right, Well that's good for you and
good for us too.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
Yes it is. But it's always great, you know.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
So it's always great here. Going to have a good week,
good and have a good visit with your friends, and
I hope they stick around with you for a few
days and share a few stories and all of that,
and we'll talk to you next Saturday. Have a great day,
all right, Dick, good talking with you as always. Bye bye,
bye bye, Dick from Dayton right there. Now, we're gonna
have to get a see if his community has a
(32:52):
community gardener, maybe container gardens, and we can get Dick
involved with growing some tomatoes and peppers and things like that.
How are your tomatoes doing, by the way, so far,
finally starting to come on in our area, finally starting
to get some reports of blossom in rod. I'll talk
about that after the breaking of course. Taking your calls
at eight hundred and eight two three eight two five five,
don't forget coming up the top of the hour, rita
(33:14):
hike and fell. We're gonna go in the garden with
Rita talk about her recipe, which is absolutely outstanding. They
always are yes, sir, because it's cherry Bounce time. It's
one of her roast requested recipes out there, Cherry Bounce time.
And at the bottom of the hour, we're gonna try
it one more time. We're gonna go down south. Talk
to our southern gardener, mister Gary Buckman here in the
(33:34):
garden with Ron Wilson.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
Eight hundred eight two three eight two five five. That
is our number. Good morning. I am Ron Wilson, your
personal yard boy, talking about yardening as we move our
(35:56):
way through the Are you ready for this through the summer?
Can you believe it? I just said something about, you know,
a month and a half away and we're into September. Yes,
I tell you what. It goes by in a flash.
But in the meantime, dealing with these pop up showers
and the hot temperatures, in the humidity and sets you
up for some leaf diseases and issues with plants and
(36:18):
gets a little you know, it gets a little frustrating sometimes,
but stay with it, stick with it, and you know
who really likes this kind of weather, weeds, things that
you don't want growing in the beds that you have
other things growing, and they love it. And like Joe
Strucker was saying earlier, he could he could certainly use
a landscape company to come in and help weed because
(36:39):
they've just gotten out of control. And it's easy for
a lot of different weas to do that. And one
of the beagle posts that we have on our website
at Ron Wilson online dot com is titled stop the seeds,
and it's a good tip sheet remind you that even
though you have weeds out there, Let's say you look
out and there's weeds all over the PLA's the one
(37:00):
thing you don't want them to do. Okay, you don't
have time to go out and maybe pull them all,
weed them out, spray, do whatever, but is you don't
want them to go to seed. You don't want them
to flower, and you don't want them to seed. And
sometimes folks will send us a picture of a plant
that came up in their bed that they didn't plant,
and it's hard to tell what it is, so we
(37:20):
kind of stick with them for a while. Give me
another shot in ten days, another shot of today's or
if it starts to flower, give me a shot of
the picture. But once it starts to flower, we're gonna
I want to see the picture. Then we can tell
for sure what it is. But then you get rid
of the flower, or you get rid of the weed.
But you don't want these to flower and set seed.
It's like the winter annuals, and we talk about those
(37:41):
coming out of the winter and end of the springtime,
the hairy bittercress, and the chick weed and the hen
bit and the purple dead netal you know, all of
those that their goal. They're any annual. They germinate in
the fall, which is unusual, kind of hang in there
over the winter. As soon as it starts to warm
and the spring, they grow like a weed, all right.
They grows fan us as they can. They flower, they seed,
(38:01):
they throw seeds everywhere, and they die. And guess what,
You're now stuck with more seeds than you had at
the beginning of the year. And that makes it even
harder to get them under control. Pre Emerging herbicides obviously
can help you to stop those weed seeds from being
able to grow. But again, you know, if we can
(38:21):
get rid of the seeds first, that's a great way
to stop the spread and then work from there. So again,
great article about it, you can find out on our
website at Ron Wilson online dot com. So we've got
to keep the weeds down. Don't let them get it
taking over. Don't let them take over in your vegetable garden.
Not a good thing because a lot of them not
only for the seeding, and some can be a perennial.
(38:42):
So once they get themselves rooted in, not only you're
dealing with the seeds, but coming back up from the
root system as well makes them harder to get rid of.
So you know, again stay on top of the weeds
as best you can. And I know it's tough during
the heat of the summer, but you got to stick
with them. Don't let them get a foothold, all right,
stay with him. And they can also one other thing.
They can harbor disease and they can harbor insect There's
(39:04):
a lot of insects that love to get on your
vegetable plants that hang out in the weeds, and then
you know, benefit from the weeds and then get onto
your plants and go from there. Keeping debris and weeds
down around your vegetables is a real good step and
keeping a lot of insects and disease situations lower because
you don't give them a place to hang out, a
(39:26):
place to breed, a place to multiply or whatever, and
then get into your vegetable gardens. So keep that in
mind as well. Speaking of vegetables, Oh, one last thing
with all the moisture, a lot of emails this week
with folks looking in their mulch and looking at that
mulch and seeing these blobs showing up, specially in shredded hardwood,
(39:47):
especially in the shredded fine hardwood. They're really fine stuff. Boy,
this really does it great. But it'll show up at
almost any mulch, but hardwoods are its favorite. And you
get these blobs of oranges and yellows and whites, and
if they sit there for a day or two, they
start to turn tan and then brown and kind of
crusted up and go away. It looks like somebody threw
(40:08):
up there, like a dog, you know, with a foami
how dog throws up. Thus the common name dog vomit
fungus or dog barf fungus. It's a slime mold. It
happens when the humidity and the moisture, and that mulch
is just right, these slime molds will start to grow.
They are not harmful to you, they are not harmful
(40:29):
to the pets. They are not harmful to the kids.
But they look bad, they look funny. So the best
way to get rid of them is either scoop them
up and throw them away, or just keep fluffing up
that mulch. And if you can keep it airy, keep
it fluffed up, you'll see a lot less of this.
I used a kid all the time if I got it,
and I don't use hardwood anymore, but when I did,
(40:51):
I would scoop it up and put it around my
neighbor's front door, then knock on the door and ask
everybody's okay, or if the dog's sick or whatever. But
it's called slime mold, and it will actually climb and move,
thus the name slime mold. Move up the side of
a tree. Oh, she had to kind of go up
to side six or eight inches. Somebody sent me a
picture the other day. They had someone on the mault
around the base of their ornamental grasses, and it actually
(41:12):
climbed up some of the stems on the ornamental grass
as well. Again, no harm to you, no harm to
the pets, no harm to the plants. Uh, fluff it up,
scoop it up, whatever it may be. But it's called
slime mold or commonly known as dog vomit fungus or
dog barf fungus. A true plantsman. One of my heroes,
(41:33):
my idol when it comes to plantsmen, along with Steve
Faults and many others, is mister Kevin O'Dell when he's
with us. This morning, Kevin, and good morning.
Speaker 5 (41:40):
Good morning Ron. It was wonderful seeing to you the
other day.
Speaker 1 (41:44):
Good seeing you, my friend.
Speaker 5 (41:45):
And they're so full of exciting new plants, some things.
My gosh, I just love that show.
Speaker 1 (41:50):
Don't you almost you're you almost have a headache when
you leave that thing. There's so many new plants and
things you want to Oh, I tell you, it's crazy. Yep.
Speaker 5 (41:58):
Fun. I hate to disagree with Joe there and you
said it very nicely, but try to never ever use
or gravel per mulch. Oh. Yeah, comes from below the ground.
Most plants come from above the ground.
Speaker 1 (42:13):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (42:14):
And it's us more and more and more and more
run and it just makes me. It doesn't make me sick,
but pretty close to it. And you know, a lot
of it's used professionally. People say I want to use gravel.
You never had their remulch. Use plants and you don't
hit the remulch, you know, like our area is plant mulch.
And you know this gravel is getting out of control.
(42:37):
I mean we you know, my company has spent much
more time getting rid of gravel than we have or ever.
Speaker 1 (42:44):
Have put it down. I'm with you. And the thing
of it is, you know it looks you know, you
look at it and say, oh man, maintenance free. And
when I have to ever put it down again, well,
over time silt starts to build up in those rocks,
and weed seeds start to grow in the rocks too.
It's no different than in the more elch, plus all
the non benefits of putting a gravel. I'm with you, uh,
(43:05):
you know, And I always just suggest to folks, you know,
think about it two or three or four times before
you make that final decision. But I'm with you hundred percent.
Spend more time taking it up than you do putting
it down. Excellent excellent information. Plants grow, Let the plants
fill it up for you. Yeah, they don't grow and gravel.
Let the plants fill it up for you. Don't worry
about the gravel or the mulch. A fine day, Sir Kevin.
(43:28):
Always a pleasure, my man. Quick break, we come back
riad a hike and Feld we'll be with us. We're
going to talk about her herbs and her recipe, cherry bounce.
It's that time of the year. Cherry bounce the most
requested read a recipe, I think of all of her recipes.
And at the bottom of the hour, we're going to
travel south. We'll see if we can get him Gary
Bachman our southern gud Gev's awake, uh to find out
(43:49):
what's going on in our southern states who are also
experiencing some real heat and some storms. Right now, it's
all happening here in the garden with Ron Wilson, Green,
(44:10):
Tom or not.
Speaker 3 (44:11):
Ron can help at one eight hundred eighty two three talk.
This is in the Garden with Ron Wilson.
Eight hundred eight two three eight two five five Give morning.
I am Ron Wilson, your personal yard boy, talking about yarding.
Rainy days, hot days, stormy days, thunder days, lightning days,
sunny days. It's been all over the board that and
it's all been one thing along with all of those.
It's been hot, and that means that Joe's treker is
(00:57):
still a happy camper. Let's kick it all with our
cup of Joe, Miss Joe Struck. Our executive producer Findal
was going to his lawn, his landscape, of course, our website,
Ron Wilson online dot com, Facebook page in the garden
with Ron Wilson. It's been hot and sticky. But I'm
gonna say something that's probably gonna shock you that Wait
a second, let me hang on to the Okay, got
a hold the arms of my chair. All the rain
(01:19):
that we had this week, you got none. I got
barely any. Yeah, it's just been really isolated. I mean
I think we got a little bit on Thursday, just
a little bit on Friday. That what's it? All the
other rain missed us. We've been getting pretty good showers,
(01:39):
but I knew other Kentucky got hammered on they're still Thursday.
Why is it They're they're getting that that front of
those frontes come up stay right below the Ohio River
kind of tiptoe up into Cincinnati a little bit now.
And I watched a radar because yeah, because I mean,
Rothhouse might be an amateur meteorologist, but I like watching them.
You still watch the radar. I still you're just looking
(02:00):
for lightning strikes, though, And so I'm watching and I'm
watching and watching it, and I'm just like, oh, here
it comes here, come there, it goes it just for
some reason, it right as soon as it hits in.
But you're watching for lightning strikes and thunder. I mean,
I'm got into it just from doing this job and
and over the years, you know, talking to meteorologists like
(02:24):
you know, the ones that we work with, and non
meterologists like Pat Berry, who was great at that. He
was he was I'm not I like Pad Barry. He was.
He was the best. Miss that man. He was was
the greatest. But yeah, I mean, I you know, start
(02:45):
doing this job. He kind of watched the weather and
you learn how to what to see because you know,
it affects her job. And but still I was just
watching that radar and it's just nothing, absolutely nothing. Yeah,
it has been pretty isolated, but we we've lucked out.
We've gotten it. So we really haven't water too much
this week. Even our containers haven't had to water too much.
(03:06):
A couple of times, but not much. Hopefully we'll get
some today, especially in in the on the west side
of town. I mean they I think, I think a
shower came through this morning. But how's your neighbor's landscape.
You've been able to get out in the water through
all this, No, her her her kids come over and
water and water. So yeah, yeah, I mean that it's
(03:31):
been that's been done just goes to show you you
can put landscaping in the middle of July. I just
need to I'm you know, I'm seriously I might. I
might get with whoever with the people that did are
landscaping and uh and try to contract that out because
one thing I hate doing other than mowing the lawn
is weeding. I cannot stand weeding. Yet I get it,
(03:57):
so I mean need some weeding. That's why that's why
they make kills all with a pump tank. And I
might need as you can just walk along. I'm gonna need.
I'm gonna need like a vat of kills all. I
need a tank truck full. Yeah, just yeah, it's pretty bad.
But I did notice kind of there that stripped between
(04:20):
the sidewalk in the driveway. Well, that's why I said
last week, I said, we need to get on that
right away. Well, it's it's pretty nasty. Fifteen minutes we
have that cleaned up. Really, Okay, you're hired. I'll see
you later. I'll have well, well forget you get that
stuff on the grill. I'll be happy to have cold beverages.
(04:42):
I'll be happy to have a couple of a couple
of slips, little Willie Nelson slives and uh some steaks.
So yeah, if you want to do that. Playing in
the background, you heard that America Ron Wilson's gonna come
over my garden. Yeah, a hard time weeding my own. Yeah,
(05:04):
that's what I said. You need a thing of pump
spray with a spray water. I might need fire. We
can get you one of those the dragon torch. Uh wow,
little well, put a little propane tank on there, walk around,
burn them off. Dragon fairy, the dragon fairy, the garden fairy.
(05:25):
Drop it off. See that was. That was another one
of those we always tried to get on the show
so that one of us could BUYE one of those
real cheap and get you know, yea share that bad boy. Wow,
that didn't light light the mulch on fire and burn
your house down. I think I'm gonna tear off that
that whole area and just put rocks in there, and
(05:46):
think twice about the rocks. But you put him there,
it's hard to get rid of them, and you got it,
scoop them all out again. I'm not playing on putting
anything there anymore. All right, we'd eventually come up through rocks. Yeah,
but I don't have a fluff fluff up and you
don't have to do anything to get a crusty's as
for sure. I don't have to fluff anything up, and
(06:06):
I don't have to put new malt new rocks down
every couple of years. So do I have any guests today?
Now that I'm depressed? Do you have any guests today? Yeah?
Last week we had the Gary Bakman scheduled and soon
is he working out? Mister Bachman uh overslept because he
(06:32):
was too busy. Well, I told you, but he forgot
he totally for anyone. Oh my gosh, I am so embarrassed.
So anyway, he is if you follow him on Facebook,
he's like a he's like the work, always on the go,
always on the go. But yeah, so we we got
him rescheduled for it. I said, let's just give another try.
So I'm pretty sure he'll make it this time. And
then readers with us this morning. Cool, So we'll talk
(06:54):
about her recipe, what you're going to talk about here
in a minute, and what is going on in her
garden as well. So those are two yes, Scarry Sol
and Buggy Joe Boggs, you, Danny Gleeson and me in
between Facebook page in the garden with run Wilson. The
website I Ron Wilson online dot com. And there's a
couple of alerts from from Buggy Joe. Did you get
the one posted about the weeds and pals the seeds? Yeah, yes,
(07:16):
I got that one posted. See that's when you should
read a little don't let your weeds go to seed.
It's a little late now for that. How important that is.
And there's a couple other cool little tip sheets and
stuff going on, things that are happening right now. Cool.
So there's a lot going on. There's a lot going
on now. Rita is going to be on later like
you said, and it's time to get it started. I
(07:41):
knew you'd get fired up with that recipe. Yes, it's
the cherry bounce season. You gotta get it started because
you got to get it going for Christmas. I think
Barbie Bletcher started hers about a month ago. She got
to early jump on it. As soon as the cherries
are ready. She was out buying cherries and there you go,
get it started. They were shoe bottles of stuff. They're
going to experiment with the three stingers. Yeah, so we'll see.
(08:04):
It's so it's cherry bounce season, yep. And her cherry
side therefore you, I hope. So that is the best
lemon cello I ever had. It is so smooth you
don't even taste it, and it's very it's very it's
it's very dangerous, yes, because it tastes just like I
just remember watching you the first time she brought that in.
You were like, oh, I mean, you can't even taste it.
(08:28):
It was so smooth. Not that you're doing it in
the studios. I don't know what you're talking about. That's
what I said, you step out, but yeah, it was.
It was very smooth.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Well so it was a cherry bounce and she did
peach bounce one time and that was really good. I remember, gosh,
this was it's had it been five years ago when
we used to do the Thanksgiving special and she brought
in the cherry bounce that was made with the bourbon
from that that restaurant Indianapolis, the that Teresa Parker sent
(09:00):
you the recipe for that. Yeah. Uh, I forget the
name of the rest of the movie. Cherry it's a fire, okay,
and that's something to do with that. I've never been there.
That was pretty darn good. Yeah, pretty darn good. And
uh I actually have uh not last year's cherry bounce
(09:20):
because I didn't get any, uh, but the year before
when I actually got some cherry bounce, I still got
some of that. Well you said you just occasionally open
and go take a little sip. Hey, it's it stays,
it stays good. Yeah, oh I know. But I'm just saying,
you don't just drink it. You no, no, you can't
make it last. Chug it. You gotta get that. Yeah,
you sipt that. Yeah, I appreciate it. Is cherry bounce
(09:44):
done and pull a cherry out of there, Yes, very
much so. So if you're if you want to make
some cherry bout or if you don't have any idea
what we're talking about that most people make cherry bounce,
enjoy the cherry bounce. Yes, once you get started, you
enjoy the extra that's left over. The plants of the week, Yes,
(10:05):
the first one is the Indian cup plant. Yes, it
kind of looks like like some flower almost kind of
tell us about the Indian cup plant. You know that
picture that's on there. I think it's from Ron Roths's backyard.
It is, and that's one of his favorite plants. It's
a prairie plant. And what's cool about that you get
the flowers for the pollinators, but the way the leaves
(10:26):
come together on that stem and they're cupped, it holds water.
Indian cup got it, so the Indians actually would use
that for a source of water because it held water.
Plus the birds and the wildlife does the same thing
because of the water. There, so really cool looking plant.
And it coincides with the one that's right below it,
which is the compass plant, which is the compass plant,
which is buggy Joe Boggs one of his favorites. And
(10:50):
again another good prairie plant, great pollinator plant. And the
leaves are situated so it helps the direct to north
and south. So as they were going across the prairie,
they could look take a look at the coumps plant
figure where where they were going. So but yeah, when
you see those in mass plant things, they are spectacular.
But the wildlife loves them cool and you can grow
(11:12):
them in your own perennial garden. Well, I'm off to
the store to get some cherries. So you already have
the bounce, right, I got, I got plenty of bounce.
I just need the cherry. I wonder what shlive of
it's that bounce would be like, it might be interesting,
that could be a that could be something to try. Man,
it's live it's so expensive. I wouldn't want to there's
(11:36):
no cheap there's no cheap slive. And then the cherry
shlive of it's burn all the way down to your
toes still. But wow, it's expensive to experiment.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
It is.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
I mean when I went and bought your bottle one
time for Christmas, I was like, Wow, Yeah, they're not.
It's not. Yeah, you definitely got to take out a
bring a co signer with you when you get some.
So all right, all right, let's get out of all right,
have a great weekend. Relax, Try to get some sleep.
I know he didn't sleep much this week, so get
(12:09):

Speaker 1 (15:55):
At good morning, Welcome back here in the garden with
(16:46):
Ron Wilson again that total free number eight hundred eight
two three eight two five five. Talking about yardening, and
as Joe and I were talking earlier, very timely we've
had we've lucked out in our our yard. We've had
very timely showers over the last seven days or so.
Uh and they've been good, you know, pretty good soakers too.
And once we've got the moisture in the ground, it's
kind of been sticking there. We've had to water a
(17:08):
couple containers that don't get exposed to it quite as much.
But otherwise we've been pretty good. But again, as we look,
you know, I've got to you can continue to physically check,
to use your moisture meters, to use your rain gauges,
and see how much rain you got that they came
through as well. And again I say, consider all the
rain showers that come through as a bonus, build on
(17:31):
top of them. Don't count on those rain showers. As
a matter of fact, if you look at our forecasts,
I don't know about from where you are, but if
you look at our forecasts for the next seven to
ten days, I think every day has a chance of showers,
you know, the pop up afternoon showers, and the temperatures
get just right, and the humidity gets right, and the
monkey gets tight and they all get together and what
(17:53):
was that song anyway?
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (17:55):
And you know, and that's when all of a sudden
they just pop Damn. Gary Sullivan home and Pruven Buggy,
Joe Boggs and myself all live kind of in a
same line, several miles apart, but kind of the same line,
so a lot we kind of share the fronts that
can come across from west to east. It missed me.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
I think he came from the southwest up and so the.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Way it came up has been coming up lately. It
has been missing Dan but catching the other three of us.
So it's been really weird. But anyway, point being is
watch your rain gages physically, check to see how much
moisture you did get in the ground.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
You know.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
One of my tell tales out in the yard is
I'll take my square spade. I have a very sharp,
square hall aluminum am Leonard D shaped handles spade that
I've had for years and you'll never break it. And
it's a one time purchase it. It's outstanding. But anyway,
and get a good rainfall, take that out in the
(18:52):
yard and throw it down. You know. Now you throw
a shovel down and get us a stick into the ground,
not a record round point, but a square spade. And
if it hits the ground and goes ting and then
bounces back, I know we didn't get very much rainfall.
But if it goes down and he goes boo and
it sticks, then I know we did. And then I
can just kind of pull that back. I look down,
see how deep it went into the ground. Gives me
(19:14):
a good. It takes me twenty seconds to do. That
gives me a good indicator as far as what's going on.
So again, you know, check those as they come through. Physically,
look look at your rain gages, use your moisture meters. Remember,
newly planted trees and shrubs many times do not benefit
from some of these showers unless the surface water actually
(19:37):
runs to them and down into the hole. But otherwise
a lot of times, and if it's mounded, of course
it'll go around the outside of it, and if it's mounded,
it runs off the outside of it as well. But
you know, again physically check. This is a very important
time right now, as it is anytime during the year obviously,
but you know, to make sure we keep this good
even moisture as we work our way through probably the
(19:59):
hottest time of the summer over these next few weeks.
So stick with it. I'm still seeing some things, you know,
the leaf diseases popping up like crazy, powdery, mildew, brown
patch in the lawns, all kinds of leaf diseases in
the lawns is crazy. I think I mentioned last week
the folks from OSU Turf saying if there's anything out there,
(20:19):
that you can get in your lawn. It's getting it
right now, brown pats for most of us. If you
have like a turf type toll rescue or several of
the other grasses as well, seeing a little bit of
that right now. Not a lot you can do at
this point. We'll talk more about that after the break.
Got lots of tips to share. Taking your calls eight

Speaker 1 (22:56):
Talking to your ardening at eight hundred eight two three
eight two five five, good morning, I am Ron Wilson
your personal yard. Well, we don't forget our website Ron
Wilson online dot com, Facebook page in the garden with
Ron Wilson. Use a little chatting going on there on
Saturday mornings, so be sure and check that out as well,
and of course talking about the weather, which when we're
out working in the yard and garden, what is the
(23:17):
topic out there besides how beautiful things look or in
some cases how bad they might be looking because of
the weather. Weather is always at the top of the list,
so you know, you you deal with It's one of
those things I've always said, you know, I've been in
this business, the green industry, all my life for the
most part, and working with something that you have no
(23:38):
control over. You can do everything else that you want
to do right, but you have no control over the weather.
But you learn how to work around it and do
other things. But again counting those blow through showers as
a bonus showers, you know, and then physically checking. And
then of course I was talking about lawn diseases before
we went into the break and we are seeing some.
(24:00):
I'm brown patch especially, and it's really hard to tell
some of these things. I mean, Joe Boggs probably pretty
good if he had a lens, his lens and get
down and take a look at it. But a lot
of times you have to have samples unless somebody identify it.
And those services are available if you want to go
to that point and have these identified. Most states go
to your extension service and they'll direct you to a
(24:24):
lab that can help to diagnose and sometimes there's a fee,
sometimes there's not, but diagnose what's going on with your plans,
and I'll tell you how to wrap them up and
send them so that they stay fresh, et cetera. Set up.
A lot of times they can do that, especially with turf.
A lot of professional lawn care companies will do that
because it's very hard to identify it. There's no way
(24:44):
I can brown patch when I see it pretty much
know what that is. A red thread. You can understand
that one and a few others, but it's hard to
separate them out. But anyway, see a lot of brown
patch for sure, in a lot of the homeowner's lawns.
And I think the thing to remember, which was kind
of ironic, And I don't know if I brought this
up last week or not, but I'm sitting in a
traffic light and I'm looking at this yard and it's
(25:06):
a beautiful lawn. It's got the brown, hazy patches all
throughout the yard, and they had irrigation going on both sides.
It was in the morning, on both sides of the corners,
just soaking the heck out of that thing. Well, one
of the things to not do when you have brown
patch is to over irrigate, especially in the morning. You
(25:28):
know you want to do it early enough that it dries.
As soon as it starts drying, susan sun comes up,
and you only do it if absolutely necessary. So you know,
you're trying to keep the turf as dry as possible
to get through this brown patch. And yeah, you can
apply a funge a side. There are some out there
to help get it into check. But remember fung of
sides are preventators, preventatives, preventors preventatives rather than curatives in
(25:55):
many cases. So you can kind of get it into
check by using a funge a side, but there are
cultural things too. Don't feed it right now that type
of a thing. Keep mowing on a higher level and
all of that. But again the watering, you actually want
to cut back and here and it's a natural reaction again.
You know, you see plants starting to yell and lose leaves.
What do you do? You water more? It's just a
(26:16):
natural reaction. And there they were, and I should have
actually just left them a note. I don't think anybody
was home. I think they had it on a timer.
But I should have left the note, but I didn't.
But again, if you can try to find out or
get a general idea of what it is. Check with
your local garden center, local lawn care company, local extension
office to get a better feel for it and take
(26:36):
it from there. Also seeing right now where folks have
planted plants last year or the year before, last year,
especially and you know, last spring, and you've got a
whole year, a season and a half under your belt,
you know. And I think people think that once you
get into that point, you don't have to water like
you were doing when you first planted the plan. You know,
(26:58):
the first year. Well, in many cases, as you do,
especially when you get into a dry situation, hot and dry.
And right now I'm seeing a lot of plants that
put out a lot of foliage. I was looking at
a magnolia yesterday, but then for a year and two,
a year and a half and looking great, new growth,
looking great, leaves look great. Just I mean it was dense,
(27:22):
but starting to lose yellow leaves on the inside of
the plant. Now they're going to send me pictures to
make sure we don't have any magnolia scale but may
cause it to happen. But otherwise, my first question was,
you know, what's the water schedule been like, And the
answer was it's been raining. All spring. We really haven't
(27:44):
watered it because you know it's been in for a
year and a half. You know, we figured it was established,
blah blah blah. Well it's not, and more than likely
it's a reaction to the lack of moisture, especially when
you see those leaves dropping to the inside like that.
That's one thing that leafy plants, deciduous plants have the
opportunity to do, and that is to lose leaves to
compensate for the lack of moisture, so they can drop
(28:06):
some of those inner leaves, less transpiration, less lose being
lost out of the leaves, less moisture needed to supply
to those leaves, so they can do that. Where evergreens
obviously can't do that, and that's why it's so important
we talk about watering those evergreens on a regular basis,
especially during the dry times of the year. So again,
(28:27):
you know, it's a physical check. Moisture meters don't count
on the rainfalls. Count consider those a bonus check to
see how much you got each time it came through,
how far did it penetrate newly? And you know what
the other thing is a lot of times, especially with evergreens.
Look after a shower comes through. Look at the mulch
underneath the plant. A lot of times you'll see a
(28:48):
ring where the drip line where the leaves go out.
You'll see a ring underneath that where it's still dry
on the mulch but wet all the way around it.
They can be their own umbrella. Sometimes yeah, they can
collect water also and push it to the inside. But
sometimes it can be an umbrella as well. So again
it's just important to keep watching that monitor that do
(29:10):
it on a regular basis. If you're having problems with
the lawn right now, look really good up until this point.
Look at the weather, Look at the way things are
right now. There are a lot of lawn diseases that
are running pretty rampid right now. Check with your local extension,
Check with your local lawn care. Maybe take samples and
send them into a lab to be tested to see
(29:31):
what it is. But in most cases you may not
be able to do anything about it at this stage,
or if you do spray a fund just side kind
of get it into check. And of course you've got
we're about a month and a half away where we
start looking at what can you believe what I'm just
gonna say this September, and of course that's the best time.
They'll go back in and start renovating the lawn, core,
aer rating, seating, feeding and bringing it back to life again.
(29:53):
If that's the case. Before we take a break, pick
from Dayton.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
Good morning, Hey, good morning. How are you I am?
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Great house? Things going good? Good good?
Speaker 5 (30:03):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Uh, Well, my cousin's coming from Uh. He was from Malaria, Yeah,
you know, near Lorraine there. He was part of the
family that played music. He's gonna come see uh with
my friends Eddie and Mary and my other friend. But
that's gonna be nice. He's supposed to get here about
four o'clock today. Isn't that nice?
Speaker 1 (30:24):
That is nice. That is something for you to look
forward to, just visit.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Uh. He said he might stay a couple of days,
good to see what was I hope? So, but I went,
uh see what's the other day or yesterday? Bob picked
me up back to the Spring Bankers in Xenia and
we had a good time there. Chris plays, he plays you,
he teaches you. And I know one thing he told
(30:52):
me that Sue from the Strummers, you know, the ukulele
group Dick. Yeah, they missed me quite a bit. You know,
there was a big show I couldn't go. But you know,
you know what, you know, get around and I'm meeting
more people. I'm gonna be part time on the activities director.
We play like and me and Heather and what's her name, Lexi?
(31:16):
She she just you know, when when there's music, I'll
probably do a couple of songs. So I've been entertaining
the people outside when it's been nice.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
Good about that.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
I think that's outstanding.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
You know.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
I told you my grandson was in a ukulele group
at their middle school, and I guess that's becoming more
and more popular, getting kids involved playing the ukulele because
it's I guess fairly easy to learn how to play it.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
But maybe it is.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Maybe you should investigate and maybe you could go around
to some of the schools and help teach these young
kids how to play the ukulele. Yeah, yeah, and you
are instructor.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
Yeah. I go on Sunday morning, they have a couple Well,
I go to a couple of Bible studies and I
met a lady down there, her and her and her
husband or she said he was Italian and she's a gardener,
and she said, Dick.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
My.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
Friends listened to Ron Wilson and and my friends here
you every Saturday morning.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
All right, all right, Well that's good for you and
good for us too.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
Yes it is. But it's always great, you know.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
So it's always great here. Going to have a good week,
good and have a good visit with your friends, and
I hope they stick around with you for a few
days and share a few stories and all of that,
and we'll talk to you next Saturday. Have a great day,
all right, Dick, good talking with you as always. Bye bye,
bye bye, Dick from Dayton right there. Now, we're gonna
have to get a see if his community has a
(32:52):
community gardener, maybe container gardens, and we can get Dick
involved with growing some tomatoes and peppers and things like that.
How are your tomatoes doing, by the way, so far,
finally starting to come on in our area, finally starting
to get some reports of blossom in rod. I'll talk
about that after the breaking of course. Taking your calls
at eight hundred and eight two three eight two five five,
don't forget coming up the top of the hour, rita

Speaker 1 (35:32):
Eight hundred eight two three eight two five five. That
is our number. Good morning. I am Ron Wilson, your
personal yard boy, talking about yardening as we move our
(35:56):
way through the Are you ready for this through the summer?
Can you believe it? I just said something about, you know,
a month and a half away and we're into September. Yes,
I tell you what. It goes by in a flash.
But in the meantime, dealing with these pop up showers
and the hot temperatures, in the humidity and sets you
up for some leaf diseases and issues with plants and
(36:18):
gets a little you know, it gets a little frustrating sometimes,
but stay with it, stick with it, and you know
who really likes this kind of weather, weeds, things that
you don't want growing in the beds that you have
other things growing, and they love it. And like Joe
Strucker was saying earlier, he could he could certainly use
a landscape company to come in and help weed because
(36:39):
they've just gotten out of control. And it's easy for
a lot of different weas to do that. And one
of the beagle posts that we have on our website
at Ron Wilson online dot com is titled stop the seeds,
and it's a good tip sheet remind you that even
though you have weeds out there, Let's say you look
out and there's weeds all over the PLA's the one
(37:00):
thing you don't want them to do. Okay, you don't
have time to go out and maybe pull them all,
weed them out, spray, do whatever, but is you don't
want them to go to seed. You don't want them
to flower, and you don't want them to seed. And
sometimes folks will send us a picture of a plant
that came up in their bed that they didn't plant,
and it's hard to tell what it is, so we
(37:20):
kind of stick with them for a while. Give me
another shot in ten days, another shot of today's or
if it starts to flower, give me a shot of
the picture. But once it starts to flower, we're gonna
I want to see the picture. Then we can tell
for sure what it is. But then you get rid
of the flower, or you get rid of the weed.
But you don't want these to flower and set seed.
It's like the winter annuals, and we talk about those
(37:41):
coming out of the winter and end of the springtime,
the hairy bittercress, and the chick weed and the hen
bit and the purple dead netal you know, all of
those that their goal. They're any annual. They germinate in
the fall, which is unusual, kind of hang in there
over the winter. As soon as it starts to warm
and the spring, they grow like a weed, all right.
They grows fan us as they can. They flower, they seed,
(38:01):
they throw seeds everywhere, and they die. And guess what,
You're now stuck with more seeds than you had at
the beginning of the year. And that makes it even
harder to get them under control. Pre Emerging herbicides obviously
can help you to stop those weed seeds from being
able to grow. But again, you know, if we can
(38:21):
get rid of the seeds first, that's a great way
to stop the spread and then work from there. So again,
great article about it, you can find out on our
website at Ron Wilson online dot com. So we've got
to keep the weeds down. Don't let them get it
taking over. Don't let them take over in your vegetable garden.
Not a good thing because a lot of them not
only for the seeding, and some can be a perennial.
(38:42):
So once they get themselves rooted in, not only you're
dealing with the seeds, but coming back up from the
root system as well makes them harder to get rid of.
So you know, again stay on top of the weeds
as best you can. And I know it's tough during
the heat of the summer, but you got to stick
with them. Don't let them get a foothold, all right,
stay with him. And they can also one other thing.
They can harbor disease and they can harbor insect There's
(39:04):
a lot of insects that love to get on your
vegetable plants that hang out in the weeds, and then
you know, benefit from the weeds and then get onto
your plants and go from there. Keeping debris and weeds
down around your vegetables is a real good step and
keeping a lot of insects and disease situations lower because
you don't give them a place to hang out, a
(39:26):
place to breed, a place to multiply or whatever, and
then get into your vegetable gardens. So keep that in
mind as well. Speaking of vegetables, Oh, one last thing
with all the moisture, a lot of emails this week
with folks looking in their mulch and looking at that
mulch and seeing these blobs showing up, specially in shredded hardwood,
(39:47):
especially in the shredded fine hardwood. They're really fine stuff. Boy,
this really does it great. But it'll show up at
almost any mulch, but hardwoods are its favorite. And you
get these blobs of oranges and yellows and whites, and
if they sit there for a day or two, they
start to turn tan and then brown and kind of
crusted up and go away. It looks like somebody threw
(40:08):
up there, like a dog, you know, with a foami
how dog throws up. Thus the common name dog vomit
fungus or dog barf fungus. It's a slime mold. It
happens when the humidity and the moisture, and that mulch
is just right, these slime molds will start to grow.
They are not harmful to you, they are not harmful
(40:29):
to the pets. They are not harmful to the kids.
But they look bad, they look funny. So the best
way to get rid of them is either scoop them
up and throw them away, or just keep fluffing up
that mulch. And if you can keep it airy, keep
it fluffed up, you'll see a lot less of this.
I used a kid all the time if I got it,
and I don't use hardwood anymore, but when I did,
(40:51):
I would scoop it up and put it around my
neighbor's front door, then knock on the door and ask
everybody's okay, or if the dog's sick or whatever. But
it's called slime mold, and it will actually climb and move,
thus the name slime mold. Move up the side of
a tree. Oh, she had to kind of go up
to side six or eight inches. Somebody sent me a
picture the other day. They had someone on the mault
around the base of their ornamental grasses, and it actually
(41:12):
climbed up some of the stems on the ornamental grass
as well. Again, no harm to you, no harm to
the pets, no harm to the plants. Uh, fluff it up,
scoop it up, whatever it may be. But it's called
slime mold or commonly known as dog vomit fungus or
dog barf fungus. A true plantsman. One of my heroes,
(41:33):
my idol when it comes to plantsmen, along with Steve
Faults and many others, is mister Kevin O'Dell when he's
with us. This morning, Kevin, and good morning.
Speaker 5 (41:40):
Good morning Ron. It was wonderful seeing to you the
other day.
Speaker 1 (41:44):
Good seeing you, my friend.
Speaker 5 (41:45):
And they're so full of exciting new plants, some things.
My gosh, I just love that show.
Speaker 1 (41:50):
Don't you almost you're you almost have a headache when
you leave that thing. There's so many new plants and
things you want to Oh, I tell you, it's crazy. Yep.
Speaker 5 (41:58):
Fun. I hate to disagree with Joe there and you
said it very nicely, but try to never ever use
or gravel per mulch. Oh. Yeah, comes from below the ground.
Most plants come from above the ground.
Speaker 1 (42:13):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (42:14):
And it's us more and more and more and more
run and it just makes me. It doesn't make me sick,
but pretty close to it. And you know, a lot
of it's used professionally. People say I want to use gravel.
You never had their remulch. Use plants and you don't
hit the remulch, you know, like our area is plant mulch.
And you know this gravel is getting out of control.
(42:37):
I mean we you know, my company has spent much
more time getting rid of gravel than we have or ever.
Speaker 1 (42:44):
Have put it down. I'm with you. And the thing
of it is, you know it looks you know, you
look at it and say, oh man, maintenance free. And
when I have to ever put it down again, well,
over time silt starts to build up in those rocks,
and weed seeds start to grow in the rocks too.
It's no different than in the more elch, plus all
the non benefits of putting a gravel. I'm with you, uh,
(43:05):
you know, And I always just suggest to folks, you know,
think about it two or three or four times before
you make that final decision. But I'm with you hundred percent.
Spend more time taking it up than you do putting
it down. Excellent excellent information. Plants grow, Let the plants
fill it up for you. Yeah, they don't grow and gravel.
Let the plants fill it up for you. Don't worry
about the gravel or the mulch. A fine day, Sir Kevin.
(43:28):
Always a pleasure, my man. Quick break, we come back
riad a hike and Feld we'll be with us. We're
going to talk about her herbs and her recipe, cherry bounce.
It's that time of the year. Cherry bounce the most

travel south. We'll see if we can get him Gary
Bachman our southern gud Gev's awake, uh to find out
(43:49):
what's going on in our southern states who are also
experiencing some real heat and some storms. Right now, it's
all happening here in the garden with Ron Wilson, Green,
