Speaker 1 (00:07):
Good morning everybody. Welcome back. I'm Ron Wilson. You're in
the garden. If you'd like to join us, love to
have you number seven four nine fifty five hundred. You
can also have pound five to fifty on that at
and T film. By the way, you're gonna wind up
right here in our studios at Kenwoods. Joe Streckers in
the captain's seat. He'll take the calls. Get you lined up.
We'll do our best help answer those gardening questions. Have
a tip you want to share, I want to hear
(00:27):
from you seven nine fifty five hundred here at fifty
five KRC. The talk station eight hundred eight two three
eight two five five is our number. Good morning, I
am Ron Wilson, your personal yard boy talking about yardening.
Don't forget our website. It's Ron Wilson online dot com
Facebook page. In the garden with Ron Wilson. Rita's recipe
(00:49):
this week is a school zedy, great very easy recipe.
Buggy Joe Boggs talking about fall webworm, long jaw, long
jawed spiders and other spiders. We have the aphis post
on there. As far as this is a check your
tree out month and look at all your trees, especially
the maples, looking for Asian longhorn beetle. That's one of
(01:12):
those things. If it is detected, they will come in
and they quarantine the area and they eradicate it. Eradicate it,
and you can learn more about it and see the
areas around the United States. Only a few areas, but
what it's been, what it takes to get rid of those,
and amount of trees they have to take down, and
it's all of hard work. But your eyes become their
their eyes when it comes to detecting where these things
(01:35):
like this are. And that's why you know, when Joe
and I or whatever, just us on the show talking
about new insects that come along or whatever, we're trying
to keep you aware of it, not to scare you,
but so you keep your eyes open for it and
and and to realize that when you find something out
there that just doesn't look like something you've ever seen before,
I don't you know, I just don't reckon I've never
(01:57):
seen something. Please take pictures, catch it it, put it
in a ziploc bag, sometimes kill it. Put it in
a ziplock bag, and then take a picture of it
and send it to us, and I'll get it. If
I can't figure out what it is, I get it
to Joe. He typically can and then we find out
and if it's something that we need to be concerned about,
you know, then we you know, can do something about it.
(02:18):
But you know, it's letting you know about these things
keeps you looking. And again you can let your Department
of Agriculture, the US Department of Agriculture OSU Extension, whatever it
may be, to find out, you know, what it is
and go from there. And that's how this Asian longhorn
beetle was detected in our area. Someone noticed that it's
(02:39):
very unusual the branches falling out of the trees and
the large boreholes. It went all the way into the
tree size of a pencil, et cetera, et cetera. So anyway,
learn more about it, and you know, check out all
your trees and then you can learn more about it
at Ron Wilson online dot com. And one of my
most favorite bugs, and I actually have a framed picture
of one of these on my wall at the at
(02:59):
my desk, is the giant robber flies. I just think
those are the gools and the way they work and
what they do is phenomenal and you can find out
more a bottom at Ron Wilson online dot com. By
the way, plant of the Week this week, we're talking
about Barbie Butletcher our queen bee earlier and talking about
planting things that will bloom late in the season for
(03:20):
our pollinators. Well, guess what My plan of the week
this week is one that not a lot of folks
know about. It's been around a long time. I think
was first collected in nineteen oh seven by E. H. Wilson.
No relation, but it's called seven sunflower seve n sun
so o n flower hepticodium, and it's it's kind of
(03:43):
it kind of looks like a honeysuckle. It's a related
to vi burnhams and Forsythia. Usually multi stem and get
fifteen feet high and wide. Sometimes it looks just like
an old honeysuckle growing there, but in the wintertime has
its foliating barks, pretty cool looking, kind of like the
river birch, a little bit lighter in color. Leaves are okay,
(04:05):
not much as far as fall color. But when this
thing flowers in late summer, they are creamy white jasmine
like flowers come off on the tips of these branches,
and they are gorgeous, slight fragrance, very sweet fragrance. And
if you look closely, and Joe Boggs loves this plant
because you can look at these flowers and they are
(04:25):
covered with anything that everything has to do with pollination.
They're all over this plant. And it lasts about two
or three weeks, so it's a long lasting flower. And
then when the flowers are done, those bracts they start
to form the seed on the middle, those bracts around
the outside actually turn red, and the red bracts and
the berries are more attractive than the white flowers were
(04:48):
two or three weeks before that, it's again and the
rest of the year of the plant is okay, just
a normal looking plant. Harder to find, but I'll tell
you what. It's a great one for late color and
great fall interest and the winter interest with the bark
shedding or exfoliating. But it's called seven sunflower, all right,
(05:09):
so woody shrub or hepticodium and you can check that
out at Ron Wilson online dot com. It's it's a
good one, but it may be harder to find. There's
some newer varieties available on the market. And you look
at and you're probably gonna see that's kind of just
shrew shrubby looking. Trust me, give it time, you will
absolutely love it. But keep that in mind. Also want
(05:29):
to remind you that if you are doing well in
your garden, vegetable garden, and you have extra and you
would like to donate that, and your neighbors are tired
of you giving them vegetables, there's a website you can
go to to find out who food pantries in your
area will take fresh produce. Ample harvest dot org. Ample
harvest dot org and you can put in your zip
(05:51):
code and it will tell you where you can go
to drop off your fresh produce that they can give
it away to folks that don't have the fresh produce
real quick. And I don't know what Joe's gonna talk
about today, never do so I don't want to step
on his toes, but I can tell you right now,
starting to get a lot of reports in our area
with magnolia scale, Folks are finally starting to notice it.
(06:13):
Sometimes the sooty mold on the stems and the leaves
kind of draw their attention. Bees and butterflies and wasps
flying around gets their attention. But control of magnolia scale,
and you don't typically see it too much on Sweet
beaz or Southern, but you do an the other selections
is coming up. You're right there as far as getting
it under control and suppressing the scale. So we'll see
(06:36):
if he talks about it. If he doesn't, I've got
a great tip sheet on it and I will email
it to you. But it's Magnoia scale, so be sure
to check out your magnolia's for that. Also check out
your evergreens especially are providing. And some of the junipers
the damage really starting to show right now. Fall webworms
out there, which we know really not an issue. You
can blow those out of the tree if you want
(06:57):
to with a garden hose and it's a done deal.
But those are things that you're starting to see out there.
And before we go back to the gardening phone lines,
I just want to mention naked ladies flowering a lot
in our area right now. We had a big storm
that came through about three days ago and blew a
lot of real tall, lanky flowers over and some of
them are having a hard time standing back up. And
(07:19):
I've seen a lot of naked ladies that are kind
of bent over and just none able to pull themselves
back up again. Did I say that? Joe just said?
What did you just say? You know, I'm talking about
the flowers and they're bending over and they can't straighten up.
Don't forget. Those make great cutting flowers. So if they're
you can't see them, go cut a few and put
(07:41):
them in a vase, and they's great to bring in
a house. Oh last a couple of weeks for you
in the home. But that's a great one. And I'll
tell you another one. My wife was doing some dead
heading in our containers. We did a lot of colias
this year, she did, and she'll go back and cut
those back to keep them nice and full. Colius make
a grit rate vase plant cutting flower as well. As
(08:03):
a matter of fact, they start to root in the vases.
But they do a great job. So keep Colius in
mind when you're trimming those or whatever that you can
take cuttings from those, put them in a vase. A
great colorful foliage vase cutting flower that actually will start
the root in the in the water as well. But
it looks really nice in the home. All right. To
(08:26):
Donn in Ohio, Good morning.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
We listen every Saturday. Love your show.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Thanks Don.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
My wife is covered with poison ivy, as is our yard.
How do we get rid of it?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Is it growing on your wife?
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Oh? I think so, she's it's and like crazy.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Well for your wife. For your wife, you know, there
is a solution that really works well. It's called zanfell
z A n F E L And you can get
it like it yeah, Walgreens store yep. Go to their
website Zandfeld dot com and they'll give you the retailers
where you can buy it. You can buy it online,
but it truly works great. After the rash starts to
(09:11):
break out on your arms, you have to put it
on there and soap it up and wash it off anyway.
She'll love you for that one. Trust me. That does
work in the lawn. Most of your broad leaf weedkillers
that you would treat in the lawn for weeds that
are there, we'll also cover poison ivy. Now, you may
have to spray it a couple times, but they typically
will go after that. And if poison ivy is growing
(09:33):
up a tree or up a post or whatever, two things. Remember,
if you cut it off at the ground, you've just
cut off the food source to the vine. So you
took care of that. And then where you cut it off,
spot treat that with the weed killer, with roundup, with kills,
(09:54):
all anything like that which will help to kill the
root out and keep it from regrowing. Now, do remember
this done The urishral, which is that toxic oil it's
in there, can last for several years, so be very careful.
Even after that vine dies when you go to pull
that off of there, still use your gloves and things
like that. So spot treating it in open areas with
(10:17):
the kills, all the round up things like that works
quite nicely. Cutting it off at the ground cut works nicely.
And then treating that little stump that's at the bottom,
sprang for it in the lawn with a lawn weed killer.
Most of them will list that for you as well,
will help. And it may take multiple applications, but it's
(10:38):
it's doing quite well this year from what I see
in both my yard and other folks.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
It is here. And then I have another question, if
I may ask, we planted vegetables in pots, does it
take longer for them to come to you know, be
vegetables and.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Uh no, not necessarily, not necessarily As a matter of fact,
sometimes I think I can. If I do radishes and
onions and things like that, and containers, sometimes I think
I get them quicker than if they're in the ground.
So all right, good talking with you. We got to
take a break, Katie, email me go to It's Ron
Wilson at iHeartMedia dot com. Email me and I'll get
(11:23):
back to you on your question about bamboo because we've
got to take a break. And coming up next, Gary

Okay, So here you got something.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
I understand you're excited that and folks don't unless you
live locally. Dorothy Lane, open it up in Mason.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
I know.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
Wednesday? Is it next week? Wednesday? Yeah, Wednesday, I think
is the twentieth. That's the day.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
That's the day. I could tell something was happening because
they started cleaning up the parking lot last week, Uh,
putting maulch in the beds. It's all planted, so it's
a big one.
Speaker 7 (13:23):
I don't know about you, but if you'd like to cook,
just say goodbye all your retirement funds.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
You don't have to cook if you go there because
it's they have all that pre made stuff.
Speaker 7 (13:30):
Oh my god, place is delightful. Yep, I got an
answer to my problems.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
I think you got an answer for your problems we
didn't get.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
I think it's gonna be a problem for you though.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
We didn't get to answer my problem last week.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
We didn't know you.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
You uh politely reminded me as we were saying goodbye
to you that we forgot that because I had Someone
was asking about the artillery or shotgun fungus, Yes, sir,
and we were talking about what to do about that
in the mulch, But uh, the question really was what
can I do to get it off of my car
and off the siding of the house.
Speaker 7 (14:09):
You know that answer as well as I do. We
haven't really found anything yet. I mean, you can get
the bulk of it off, but it leaves that little
like almost looks like a nicotine stain.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Yeah, I said that as far as I knew that,
you still hadn't come up with a down.
Speaker 7 (14:22):
The wea you forget, No, you know, might do a
little something something, Purple power does a little something something,
but nothing that you would spray on and just wipe
it off.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I mean, didn't you the car tar remover.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
The bug in tar? Yeah, yeah, a little bit, but
you'll be there forever. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
The other thing I had read the other day was
that if you if you notice it like it just
happened yesterday or the day before, if you notice it
and you get on it quickly, you have a better
chance of getting rid of its. And if it stays
on for a week or.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
Two, it's just like a helmet or a shell on
the top of that. I mean it is I for
the windows, no problem, you know, razor blade bingo. Yeah,
but when you get it on vinyl shutters, vinyl sighting
side of your car, side of your car, and that's
(15:22):
where I've used the bug in tar and it did
take it off. But if you got it on your
vinyl sighting on the side of your house, you're you're
gonna be out there forever.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Of course, you only notice that when you're standing up
close to it.
Speaker 7 (15:36):
Right, And that's why I say I always find it
like two months after it's happened. You know, I'll see
it like trimming the bushes and humming. And I had
the mulch in March, which is where it's coming from,
as you know. And I guess it's not all mulches
do that. What's the mulch that when bark chips?
Speaker 1 (15:54):
And yeah, and I don't see it too much out
of pine straw, but I guess they all hold. But
hardwoods that type of you know, you do the chips
you do sometimes when newers you do. You know, it
just depends. But again I always tell folks, don't throw
it away. Scoop it up and put it out around
your trees because it doesn't matter to the tree, and
(16:15):
then come back and freshen up the malt or do whatever,
or scoop off most of the top and put new
on top of that. But that's a lot of work.
That's a lot of work. But getting it off of
the house and off the side of your car another story.
And I didn't think there was anything else that did.
Speaker 7 (16:28):
Purple power probably did perfect power. Yeah, okay, but you
still got scrub and still still he's a little stained.
They get rid of the the hard part of the shell.
I'll call it all right.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
So what were you in trouble? What am I in trouble?
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (16:45):
Man?
Speaker 7 (16:45):
You know the weeds are growing like crazy, right, they're
growing like a weed and we only got twenty seconds.
I think I'm gonna get one of those flamethrower weed killers.
Are you really yeah? You think no way? No, No,
I'm just saying no way. Are you really thinking about it?
Can I come over to help you do it?
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Sure? I think it would make a great visual.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
That'll be like the pressure washer when you get that
in your hands.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Do you think that's a no? No, though, i'd gear
of it.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Be very careful, be very cautious, and I think the
whole Yeah, there goes the mulch when you light it
all up. Oh yeah, bare ground, not on top of mulch.
And uh, you've got to hold that on there for
a certain amount of time or it doesn't do the job.
Speaker 7 (17:26):
I know it's somebody that got one, oh from tank,
I have a mentor. I'm gonna I'm gonna watch him succeed.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
All right, and give us an update on it. I've
always you know what. I've always wanted one of those, really,
Oh yeah, and I've never never went and got one.
But yeah, we got a new project. You used to
always see him in the magazines. Never see him sol
too much, you know. But I think that Pat.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
And may have gone. They're inexpensive.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Yeah they aren't that they are seventy eighty bucks. We
Dragon or something like that.
Speaker 7 (17:56):
We got them on I don't know, Fire King. Yeah, yeah,
they got him on Amazon. Run well, got it work.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
If you are neighbors of Gary Sullivan, ladies and gentlemen,
I'm just telling you right now, he's going for the
uh burn your weeds. I would be careful. You might
want to keep the power washer right behind you case
you light something on.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
I'll have my phone with me at all times.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Gary Sullivan always a pleasure his website, Garysullivan online dot com.

This is fifty five karc an iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 6 (18:57):
You have stagnant stuff Globe from the fifty KRC You Center.
Speaker 9 (19:02):
President Trump will be meeting with Ukrainian Leader of Vladimir
Zelensky at the White House on Monday to discuss ending
the war with Russia. Trump and Zelenski made the announcement
in a conference call with NATO leaders on Friday, following
Trump's meeting in Alaska with Russian leader of Vladimir Putin.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
I believe we had a very productive meeting.
Speaker 8 (19:18):
There were many many points that we agreed on most
of them, I would say.
Speaker 9 (19:22):
Trump reportedly called Zelenski from Air Force one on his
way back to Washington and told him and NATO leaders
that Putin doesn't want to cease fire and would prefer
a comprehensive agreement to end the war. The Justice Department
is backing away from its plans to take over the
Washington d C. Police Force. The Trump administration on Friday
rescinded an earlier order that named DEEA Chief Terry Cole
(19:42):
as emergency police chief. Instead, Metro Police Chief Pamela Smith
will stay in charge under Mayor Muriel Bowser. The Justice
Department has also directed Bowser to have police assist with
immigration enforcement and comply with federal database checks. The decision
comes after DC's Attorney general filed a lawsuit to challenge
the federal TIS takeover. I'm Misa Taylor, don't miss Clay

You're in the garden with Ron Wilson in this time
(20:30):
for the Buggy Joe Boggs Report. Joe Boggs, Assistant Professor,
Commercial Horder coachure Educator for the Ohio State University Extension
OHU Department of Entomology. Bygl dot OSU dot edu is
his website. Hello Joe, Hello Ron, How you doing today?
I'm great in yourself, Oh.
Speaker 8 (20:52):
Man, I tell you, I just can't complain. Although we
were having a chat before I came on about you know,
a couple couple of weeks from now, the big day,
Big day up in Columbus and uh, and so we're
gonna have to get all primed up for that, aren't we.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I'm already primed up. I don't know about you.
Speaker 8 (21:11):
I'm very primed up. I just wish it wasn't Texas because, uh,
bring it on. I think I think they're a little
upset with us though, you know how you's the word upset? Yes, yes,
right yes.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
By the way, by the way, you know the UH
O G I A. Ron Roth is playing healthcare newsletter
this week? Did you see the picture of you on there?
Speaker 8 (21:34):
I did not? Oh you didn't?
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Did you?
Speaker 1 (21:36):
And Steve Fault standing on the wall and it looks
like one of you You're trying to figure out who's
gonna jump first?
Speaker 8 (21:42):
Yeah, yeah, we had to, if you notice. And the
wall wasn't very tall, so we don't. We're not high
risk people.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
It's like Steve's going to Joe, You're gonna jump first?
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Am I gonna jump?
Speaker 8 (21:53):
Are you gonna go first? Or am I gonna go
that's a? Oh, that's A. That's the O G I
A and and I issue extension walk abouts. We love
doing those, and h Ron was that all of them put?
You know? And what we'd love about it is that
even though that in that case, Steve and I were
leading that at the Cincinnati Botanical Garden and zoom Ron
(22:18):
is always participating and uh and providing valuable information, which
is what we really do love with it. Even you know,
the teachers aren't just us, it's the whole group. And
that's because we have a lot of very good professionals
in the horticulture industry. I may be biased, but I
(22:38):
think that that's something that that you and I are
very fortunate about, right. Yeah, have so many just fantastic,
top notch people that can help us, for example, with
figuring out those little black spots on the side of
shiny sighting or cars. I've been hearing you Gary talk
(23:00):
about it. And you know, first of all, when you
go online, I think I think last week you may
have said this, but if you go online and and
and search you know, a shotgun fungus, about half the
pictures are incorrect. There bird's nest fungi that that are
being shown. The shotgun fungus fruiting structures are very very tiny,
(23:26):
and you kind of really have to get down your
hands and knees. But if you do be kind of
careful if you're wearing glasses, because that that does fungi
because there's more than one species. They aim at shiny surfaces.
It's been been shown research Dont Penn State, for example,
(23:47):
showed that that if you have a dull surface, if
you have something like a tree trunk, no, But if
you have a shiny surface, something like a leaf, yes,
really and in person might say yeah, might you might think, well,
why would a shiny surface be so helpful? Well, that
helps us with distribution, and that's why that that uh,
(24:09):
that spore packet is surrounded by such a sticky, gelatinous mass,
which I've said many times and I think Gary should
get onto this, says, I don't want to say a
retirement plan, but it could be something just to help
with his you know, with funding his house in kN
kuon right that find out what what one.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Of his many houses?
Speaker 8 (24:33):
Yes, I know we know about that. Yeah, he's always
always hanging that over us. You know, that's right, that's right,
but I mean, I mean they're not half as good
as the ones in Europe, but anyway, he is, he
coming over to your your spot in the That adhesive
(24:56):
is remarkable and there has been there has been some
work done on it, but nothing that I could find
it was published. The reason I know there's been some
work and had to do with trying to come up
with things to break it down. And it is stubborn.
I mean, I don't honestly think. I mean we're in
the epoxy group basically when we talk about how solid
(25:20):
you know, the that becomes once it dries. As you said,
you're exactly right. If you get it, Let's say that
it's launched first thing in the morning, because it doesn't
do it at night.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
It does it with daylight. As I said, at night.
Speaker 8 (25:36):
That's right. The positively phototrophy, positively phototrophy, so that means, yeah,
thank you love that. So if you get them, you know,
the day that it happens, you can do a pretty
good job of cleaning it. But that is unless you
have it on a shiny surface in the sun, which
(25:57):
happened at a car dealership or BMW's about twenty years
ago that we got you know, an email phone call
I forgetting now to try to help.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
And this isn't a.
Speaker 8 (26:10):
Dealership with with as I if I remember, there were
at least three white BMWs sitting next to mulch and
they had to repaint them. They it was that bad.
So if you if you don't, yeah, well of course
they were being sold you know, these little fly spacks. Well,
you know, didn't really didn't really help out. It didn't
(26:34):
go over well. But the point being is that the
identification why I said that, is because the birds nest
fungi that get mistaken for shotgun fungi. The birds and
nest fungi, if you go online and type that into
the search, you'll you'll see that that they are very
evident cup like structures that typically have two to four
(26:58):
sometimes three spores in the air looking like eggs.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
That's why the.
Speaker 8 (27:05):
Exactly they don't fire those spores off. So if you
have birds nest fungi, that's just another sacrifite, meaning that
it's just another decayor of organic matter h and doesn't
really doesn't really cause any it doesn't cause any problems.
There was some work done to see if you have
(27:26):
more of that, we have less shotgun fungi. In other words,
do they compete for the same resources. And my understanding
is that it's kind of a wash, so to speak.
Oh that was stretched right, Yeah, yeah, I know that's
pretty bad. Yeah. Uh, they will compete for the same resources,
but it doesn't seem like one suppresses the other, so.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
You can have both together.
Speaker 8 (27:51):
But if you see birds nest fungi, it doesn't mean
necessarily going to have shotgun fungi. And as you said,
raking Away, that that that mulch and redistributing it somewhere
is a good idea. But as you also know, you know,
once those spores are there, even in the soil you
put down new mult you're gonna have to be just say, cognizant,
(28:13):
just be aware that since this these are fungi that
are are actually good fungi, they're decaying organic matter, breaking
it down so that the organic matter can go into
the soil. The downside is that it's if you have
it in a location, it's kind of hard to get
rid of if you as long as you keep you know,
(28:34):
disturbing the mulch so it can't kind of get organized.
That's that's extremely helpful, and and you might want to
be thinking about, you know, going a year without mulch
in some locations, which is you know, kind of difficult
when we have droughty conditions because mulch is so helpful
with maintaining soil moisture, but it's it's a bit of
(28:58):
a challenge on the On the other hand, run, I mean,
I'm not a big fan of rock mult or what
we call inorganic mulch. There have been that, That's what
that dealership went to simply because they had to. But
around homes, I mean, I don't know, I just I'm not,
Like I said, I'm not a huge fan of it.
People can do what they want. But the key with
(29:22):
with organic mulch is it does break down over time.
It does contribute organic matter to the soil, so it
improves soil structure, and that's that's very important, particularly if
you have high clay soils, which you and I are
just we we've never seen that before, right, no, never.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
We got to take a break. Your takeaway from that
particular segment is positive phototrophic. Use that in conversation sometime
and saffro fyight safro fight.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
There you go, there you.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Go, use that in conversation sometime as well. But take
a break. Come back with the part two of the
Bugget Joe Boggs Report Here in the Garden with Ron.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Wilson landscaping made easier with your personal yard boy. He's
in the garden and he's Ron Wilson.

This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Hey Gary Salvin here for the loose.
Speaker 9 (30:26):
Are welcome to here Californians leaving California, they better not
come to my street.

Fifty five KRC the Talk Station.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Oh it's the how To Saturday here on fifty five

He's got the car show. Then you're gonna get Victor Gray,
Sean Hannity, and it all happens right here at the
home of Joe Strecker. Fifty five KRC, the Talk Station.
Welcome back here in the garden with Ron Wilson. Time
(30:55):
for part two of the Buggy Joe Bobsy Porto issue
stition bygl do osu Edu. Hello Joe.
Speaker 8 (31:03):
Hello, Well, during the break I was cut loose. I
got disconnected and it was interesting because I had just
put another quarter, you know, in the phone. Is it
thirty five? Well, there was a suggestion maybe it was
a maybe it was a Canadian quarter. Or something like that.
(31:23):
I could explain it, yet, that could be it, that
could be it. I don't even have a good segue
for that. I don't even know where I was heading
with that. It's just kind of a funny thing.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
But Joe said he was going to play a joke
on you.
Speaker 8 (31:37):
I I know, I think that was quite the trickster.
He used to threaten that so many times, right, and
I finally came through.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Yeah, oh it still does.
Speaker 8 (31:49):
If I keep talking, I'm going to hear another clique.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
I know that.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Hey for you, I'm waiting.
Speaker 8 (31:56):
I think what we're going to talk about.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
You don't. This is totally off whatever you're going to
talk about.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Okay, hornworms.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
I haven't had too many reports of hornworms year, which
I think usually I get a bunch of them, and
I haven't had any as a matter of fact. But
I didn't know that you could take a black light
and they reflect the black light if you're looking for
him at nighttime on your tomato and pepper plants.
Speaker 8 (32:23):
Isn't that It is remarkable? Yes? I was like wow, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It takes us back to the old, to our younger days, remember,
you know, and everything with black lights everybody had one
in your room.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
No, no, well, no.
Speaker 8 (32:39):
No, that are misspent youth. I had a strobe light too,
Oh man, I just yeah, strobe light. Yes, I'm sorry,
I just I'm trying to think of the one of
many horror movies where strobe lights were involved. Right, you
just you just saw the bad thing coming at you,
(33:00):
you know, and as I go, no, I don't know,
I keep going in different directions. But black lights, it's
it is amazing how that's used for a number of
different insects and well, I should say arthropods because you
know the trick out West. They really are very very
(33:20):
useful if you're looking for scorpions, same deal. Those things
just they they light up with a black light. And
if you speak to people that you know, live where
scorpions can be an issue, it's not a bad idea,
you know, to kind of check your room out, you know,
with a black light very quickly.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
There you go, Joe Strecker, when you move to Arizona.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
There you go.
Speaker 8 (33:44):
That's right, And well, I know Gary's homes down and can.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Kun you know black lights on Arizona too.
Speaker 8 (33:53):
You know. It is interesting though, like you I expected,
I expected Frank on my own tomatoes to be seeing uh,
at least the tobacco. Well, now here's the thing. So
yesterday I was out there just well, I was picking
some tomatoes. Only have three plants, but they are thick.
(34:14):
And I found a little bit of little tiny pellets
and these hadn't turned black yet, but little.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Yes, yes, so you tasted them and they weren't crunchy.
Speaker 8 (34:30):
No, if you know that there are limits, there are
limits to my entomological you.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Know, by the way, you know what a drone bee
tastes like, because Barbon and I were talking about this
this morning.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
A drone bee.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Yeah, there are actually people that will pick the drone
bees and eat them fresh. They don't taste like chicken.
They taste like, oh.
Speaker 8 (34:53):
There, Well that's interesting. That's interesting.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
And I said, you know what, Joe Boggs will never
find out. She said, no, you right now, I will.
Speaker 8 (35:01):
I will never find out. But the little black pellets
tells me that. And Ron I looked.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
I looked very hard, and.
Speaker 8 (35:10):
It's just a So I'm gonna have to see if
I can find a black light because there has to
be by the way, So what we're talking about is
insect excrement that we call frass.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
And you I do.
Speaker 8 (35:23):
Yeah, that's what we're saying that poop poop. But frass
is a great word because it doesn't really sound at
all like what it stands for right where it comes from. Yeah,
so it's a good indicator. Fresh we're skirting around this
(35:43):
right so that Joe Joe doesn't hang up on me. Again,
it's a it's a great indicator when you do have
certain insects and tobacco or tomato horn worms. And I'm
saying that that way because I've had folks go online
and they'll have a tobacco horn worm, which was really
more common frankly on tomatoes.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
I see, I never get that. Why do we see
that more? And why does the tobacco hornworm have it's
got the redtail right, and the tomato backworm or as
the black horn and that doesn't make sense either.
Speaker 8 (36:15):
But nevertheless, well it's one of those deals where I've
I've had really nice picture set in fact last year
and because the person went online to look I mean,
they were on tomatoes, but they well what and they
saw that they looked up tomato hornworm, and of course
they look very similar. Obviously, but not quite the same,
(36:35):
and so they thought they had a different a whole
different thing. And so that's why I want to make
sure people know, Okay, they're two different species. And it's
because you know, tobacco and tomatoes are in the same
family soul an Ace, so you know that it's the
insect of just feeding on another host. But if you
(36:55):
are searching for these things and just can't find them,
I really am please that you said that about the
black light because you can buy these now in a
flashlight form. That's what I've seen the entomologists you out
in Arizona doing research on scorpions, and so you know,
that makes it kind of a little easier. If a
(37:16):
person has quite a few tomato plants, in my case,
with three plants, I'm eventually going to find the caterpillars.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
I just can't believe.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
I yeah, and then it's as big as your little finger,
and you go, how did I not see that?
Speaker 8 (37:30):
Yeah, by then it's knocking your tomatoes over. You know,
I'm kind of going after your you know, dogs and
cats and just yeah, like, oh my gosh. But I
will tell you the last thing we need to bring up,
and maybe we're going to have to hold the next week,
which won't be a problem. But these little, these helmet
shaped things that can show up on Magnolia's well, helmet
(37:51):
shaped things.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
I did bring it up earlier and I said, I
don't know if Joe's going to talk about it or.
Speaker 8 (37:55):
Not, but yeah, yeah, all your scale being a lookout
for it. Now, Look, if you have a small magnolia tree,
like one of my neighbors up the street has a
very small magnolia tree, and honestly, if it's if you
don't want to do it barehanded, you can do it
with gloves. But if you spend a little time and
squash these things, that's the end of it. It's called
(38:17):
a soft scale. And so if it's a small tree,
and I emphasize that right ron because a big, bigger
magnolia that could take a while, But only a small tree.
I've had many homeowners tell me, you know, that's what
they did for years and and you got rid of
the problem. If it's a larger tree, though, and you
(38:38):
try to spray them, now, you're not going to get
much in the way of control. Uh. They're waxy. Uh,
they are sucking juice from directly underneath their bodies out
of the tree, so they're not going to you know,
take up the insecticide. Even a systemic applied right now
is going to have a limited impact on these big
(38:59):
females that are, you know, pulling juice from the tree.
It won't be too much longer, though, until we'll start
going into a stage called the crawler stage. Those females
lay eggs of they hatch and then the crawlers start feeding.
And if you do have a systemic in the tree
at that time, or spray the tree directly when they're
(39:21):
crawlers available, you can suppress them. But right now it's
a difficult time. On the other hand, look for lady
beetles and we'll talk more about that next week.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
You promise, I promise. Make your notes. Buggy Joe Bugs
always a pleasure byg L dot OSU dot ed. You
have a great weekend.
Speaker 8 (39:41):
You have a great weekend, Ron Bye bye bye bye.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
Thanks to our callers, Thanks to our sponsors, Thanks of
course to Joe Strecker, our producer today, because without Joe,
this show just wouldn't go. Been a long times I
can be able to say that, So thank you Joe
for all that you do. Now do yourself a favor
falls right around the corner. Where're you going to plant
a tree or two or three? Where you gonna plant
those native plants and those native bars? Think about that?
How are you going to be more friendly in your
(40:04):
gardening and more pollinator or polite? Think about that? How
are you gonna get get the kids and dogs involved
with gardening. Pamper your worms because if the worms are happy,
your plants are happy, and by all means, make this
the best weekend of your life.
Speaker 3 (40:16):
See you.
Speaker 4 (40:25):
Help, So let's do it yourself gardener at one eight
hundred eight two three talk You're in the garden with
Ron Wilson.
Speaker 5 (40:33):
It's plan weekday mornings at nine oh six on fifty
five KRC, the Dook Station, and that
Good morning everybody. Welcome back. I'm Ron Wilson. You're in
the garden. If you'd like to join us, love to
have you number seven four nine fifty five hundred. You
can also have pound five to fifty on that at
and T film. By the way, you're gonna wind up
right here in our studios at Kenwoods. Joe Streckers in
the captain's seat. He'll take the calls. Get you lined up.
We'll do our best help answer those gardening questions. Have
a tip you want to share, I want to hear
(00:27):
from you seven nine fifty five hundred here at fifty
five KRC. The talk station eight hundred eight two three
eight two five five is our number. Good morning, I
am Ron Wilson, your personal yard boy talking about yardening.
Don't forget our website. It's Ron Wilson online dot com
Facebook page. In the garden with Ron Wilson. Rita's recipe
(00:49):
this week is a school zedy, great very easy recipe.
Buggy Joe Boggs talking about fall webworm, long jaw, long
jawed spiders and other spiders. We have the aphis post
on there. As far as this is a check your
tree out month and look at all your trees, especially
the maples, looking for Asian longhorn beetle. That's one of
(01:12):
those things. If it is detected, they will come in
and they quarantine the area and they eradicate it. Eradicate it,
and you can learn more about it and see the
areas around the United States. Only a few areas, but
what it's been, what it takes to get rid of those,
and amount of trees they have to take down, and
it's all of hard work. But your eyes become their
their eyes when it comes to detecting where these things
(01:35):
like this are. And that's why you know, when Joe
and I or whatever, just us on the show talking
about new insects that come along or whatever, we're trying
to keep you aware of it, not to scare you,
but so you keep your eyes open for it and
and and to realize that when you find something out
there that just doesn't look like something you've ever seen before,
I don't you know, I just don't reckon I've never
(01:57):
seen something. Please take pictures, catch it it, put it
in a ziploc bag, sometimes kill it. Put it in
a ziplock bag, and then take a picture of it
and send it to us, and I'll get it. If
I can't figure out what it is, I get it
to Joe. He typically can and then we find out
and if it's something that we need to be concerned about,
you know, then we you know, can do something about it.
(02:18):
But you know, it's letting you know about these things
keeps you looking. And again you can let your Department
of Agriculture, the US Department of Agriculture OSU Extension, whatever it
may be, to find out, you know, what it is
and go from there. And that's how this Asian longhorn
beetle was detected in our area. Someone noticed that it's
(02:39):
very unusual the branches falling out of the trees and
the large boreholes. It went all the way into the
tree size of a pencil, et cetera, et cetera. So anyway,
learn more about it, and you know, check out all
your trees and then you can learn more about it
at Ron Wilson online dot com. And one of my
most favorite bugs, and I actually have a framed picture
of one of these on my wall at the at
(02:59):
my desk, is the giant robber flies. I just think
those are the gools and the way they work and
what they do is phenomenal and you can find out
more a bottom at Ron Wilson online dot com. By
the way, plant of the Week this week, we're talking
about Barbie Butletcher our queen bee earlier and talking about
planting things that will bloom late in the season for
(03:20):
our pollinators. Well, guess what My plan of the week
this week is one that not a lot of folks
know about. It's been around a long time. I think
was first collected in nineteen oh seven by E. H. Wilson.
No relation, but it's called seven sunflower seve n sun
so o n flower hepticodium, and it's it's kind of
(03:43):
it kind of looks like a honeysuckle. It's a related
to vi burnhams and Forsythia. Usually multi stem and get
fifteen feet high and wide. Sometimes it looks just like
an old honeysuckle growing there, but in the wintertime has
its foliating barks, pretty cool looking, kind of like the
river birch, a little bit lighter in color. Leaves are okay,
(04:05):
not much as far as fall color. But when this
thing flowers in late summer, they are creamy white jasmine
like flowers come off on the tips of these branches,
and they are gorgeous, slight fragrance, very sweet fragrance. And
if you look closely, and Joe Boggs loves this plant
because you can look at these flowers and they are
(04:25):
covered with anything that everything has to do with pollination.
They're all over this plant. And it lasts about two
or three weeks, so it's a long lasting flower. And
then when the flowers are done, those bracts they start
to form the seed on the middle, those bracts around
the outside actually turn red, and the red bracts and
the berries are more attractive than the white flowers were
(04:48):
two or three weeks before that, it's again and the
rest of the year of the plant is okay, just
a normal looking plant. Harder to find, but I'll tell
you what. It's a great one for late color and
great fall interest and the winter interest with the bark
shedding or exfoliating. But it's called seven sunflower, all right,
(05:09):
so woody shrub or hepticodium and you can check that
out at Ron Wilson online dot com. It's it's a
good one, but it may be harder to find. There's
some newer varieties available on the market. And you look
at and you're probably gonna see that's kind of just
shrew shrubby looking. Trust me, give it time, you will
absolutely love it. But keep that in mind. Also want
(05:29):
to remind you that if you are doing well in
your garden, vegetable garden, and you have extra and you
would like to donate that, and your neighbors are tired
of you giving them vegetables, there's a website you can
go to to find out who food pantries in your
area will take fresh produce. Ample harvest dot org. Ample
harvest dot org and you can put in your zip
(05:51):
code and it will tell you where you can go
to drop off your fresh produce that they can give
it away to folks that don't have the fresh produce
real quick. And I don't know what Joe's gonna talk
about today, never do so I don't want to step
on his toes, but I can tell you right now,
starting to get a lot of reports in our area
with magnolia scale, Folks are finally starting to notice it.
(06:13):
Sometimes the sooty mold on the stems and the leaves
kind of draw their attention. Bees and butterflies and wasps
flying around gets their attention. But control of magnolia scale,
and you don't typically see it too much on Sweet
beaz or Southern, but you do an the other selections
is coming up. You're right there as far as getting
it under control and suppressing the scale. So we'll see
(06:36):
if he talks about it. If he doesn't, I've got
a great tip sheet on it and I will email
it to you. But it's Magnoia scale, so be sure
to check out your magnolia's for that. Also check out
your evergreens especially are providing. And some of the junipers
the damage really starting to show right now. Fall webworms
out there, which we know really not an issue. You
can blow those out of the tree if you want
(06:57):
to with a garden hose and it's a done deal.
But those are things that you're starting to see out there.
And before we go back to the gardening phone lines,
I just want to mention naked ladies flowering a lot
in our area right now. We had a big storm
that came through about three days ago and blew a
lot of real tall, lanky flowers over and some of
them are having a hard time standing back up. And
(07:19):
I've seen a lot of naked ladies that are kind
of bent over and just none able to pull themselves
back up again. Did I say that? Joe just said?
What did you just say? You know, I'm talking about
the flowers and they're bending over and they can't straighten up.
Don't forget. Those make great cutting flowers. So if they're
you can't see them, go cut a few and put
(07:41):
them in a vase, and they's great to bring in
a house. Oh last a couple of weeks for you
in the home. But that's a great one. And I'll
tell you another one. My wife was doing some dead
heading in our containers. We did a lot of colias
this year, she did, and she'll go back and cut
those back to keep them nice and full. Colius make
a grit rate vase plant cutting flower as well. As
(08:03):
a matter of fact, they start to root in the vases.
But they do a great job. So keep Colius in
mind when you're trimming those or whatever that you can
take cuttings from those, put them in a vase. A
great colorful foliage vase cutting flower that actually will start
the root in the in the water as well. But
it looks really nice in the home. All right. To
(08:26):
Donn in Ohio, Good morning.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
We listen every Saturday. Love your show.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Thanks Don.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
My wife is covered with poison ivy, as is our yard.
How do we get rid of it?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Is it growing on your wife?
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Oh? I think so, she's it's and like crazy.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Well for your wife. For your wife, you know, there
is a solution that really works well. It's called zanfell
z A n F E L And you can get
it like it yeah, Walgreens store yep. Go to their
website Zandfeld dot com and they'll give you the retailers
where you can buy it. You can buy it online,
but it truly works great. After the rash starts to
(09:11):
break out on your arms, you have to put it
on there and soap it up and wash it off anyway.
She'll love you for that one. Trust me. That does
work in the lawn. Most of your broad leaf weedkillers
that you would treat in the lawn for weeds that
are there, we'll also cover poison ivy. Now, you may
have to spray it a couple times, but they typically
will go after that. And if poison ivy is growing
(09:33):
up a tree or up a post or whatever, two things. Remember,
if you cut it off at the ground, you've just
cut off the food source to the vine. So you
took care of that. And then where you cut it off,
spot treat that with the weed killer, with roundup, with kills,
(09:54):
all anything like that which will help to kill the
root out and keep it from regrowing. Now, do remember
this done The urishral, which is that toxic oil it's
in there, can last for several years, so be very careful.
Even after that vine dies when you go to pull
that off of there, still use your gloves and things
like that. So spot treating it in open areas with
(10:17):
the kills, all the round up things like that works
quite nicely. Cutting it off at the ground cut works nicely.
And then treating that little stump that's at the bottom,
sprang for it in the lawn with a lawn weed killer.
Most of them will list that for you as well,
will help. And it may take multiple applications, but it's
(10:38):
it's doing quite well this year from what I see
in both my yard and other folks.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
It is here. And then I have another question, if
I may ask, we planted vegetables in pots, does it
take longer for them to come to you know, be
vegetables and.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Uh no, not necessarily, not necessarily As a matter of fact,
sometimes I think I can. If I do radishes and
onions and things like that, and containers, sometimes I think
I get them quicker than if they're in the ground.
So all right, good talking with you. We got to
take a break, Katie, email me go to It's Ron
Wilson at iHeartMedia dot com. Email me and I'll get
(11:23):
back to you on your question about bamboo because we've
got to take a break. And coming up next, Gary

the only Mister Gary Sullivan. Good morning, sir.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
How you doing, Farmer Ron?
Speaker 5 (12:50):
I what.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Farmer?
Speaker 7 (12:53):
Well? Then we always talk to you about landscaping and gardening.
I just call you a farmer today.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Farmer.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Okay, So here you got something.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
I understand you're excited that and folks don't unless you
live locally. Dorothy Lane, open it up in Mason.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
I know.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
Wednesday? Is it next week? Wednesday? Yeah, Wednesday, I think
is the twentieth. That's the day.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
That's the day. I could tell something was happening because
they started cleaning up the parking lot last week, Uh,
putting maulch in the beds. It's all planted, so it's
a big one.
Speaker 7 (13:23):
I don't know about you, but if you'd like to cook,
just say goodbye all your retirement funds.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
You don't have to cook if you go there because
it's they have all that pre made stuff.
Speaker 7 (13:30):
Oh my god, place is delightful. Yep, I got an
answer to my problems.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
I think you got an answer for your problems we
didn't get.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
I think it's gonna be a problem for you though.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
We didn't get to answer my problem last week.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
We didn't know you.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
You uh politely reminded me as we were saying goodbye
to you that we forgot that because I had Someone
was asking about the artillery or shotgun fungus, Yes, sir,
and we were talking about what to do about that
in the mulch, But uh, the question really was what
can I do to get it off of my car
and off the siding of the house.
Speaker 7 (14:09):
You know that answer as well as I do. We
haven't really found anything yet. I mean, you can get
the bulk of it off, but it leaves that little
like almost looks like a nicotine stain.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Yeah, I said that as far as I knew that,
you still hadn't come up with a down.
Speaker 7 (14:22):
The wea you forget, No, you know, might do a
little something something, Purple power does a little something something,
but nothing that you would spray on and just wipe
it off.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I mean, didn't you the car tar remover.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
The bug in tar? Yeah, yeah, a little bit, but
you'll be there forever. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
The other thing I had read the other day was
that if you if you notice it like it just
happened yesterday or the day before, if you notice it
and you get on it quickly, you have a better
chance of getting rid of its. And if it stays
on for a week or.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
Two, it's just like a helmet or a shell on
the top of that. I mean it is I for
the windows, no problem, you know, razor blade bingo. Yeah,
but when you get it on vinyl shutters, vinyl sighting
side of your car, side of your car, and that's
(15:22):
where I've used the bug in tar and it did
take it off. But if you got it on your
vinyl sighting on the side of your house, you're you're
gonna be out there forever.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Of course, you only notice that when you're standing up
close to it.
Speaker 7 (15:36):
Right, And that's why I say I always find it
like two months after it's happened. You know, I'll see
it like trimming the bushes and humming. And I had
the mulch in March, which is where it's coming from,
as you know. And I guess it's not all mulches
do that. What's the mulch that when bark chips?
Speaker 1 (15:54):
And yeah, and I don't see it too much out
of pine straw, but I guess they all hold. But
hardwoods that type of you know, you do the chips
you do sometimes when newers you do. You know, it
just depends. But again I always tell folks, don't throw
it away. Scoop it up and put it out around
your trees because it doesn't matter to the tree, and
(16:15):
then come back and freshen up the malt or do whatever,
or scoop off most of the top and put new
on top of that. But that's a lot of work.
That's a lot of work. But getting it off of
the house and off the side of your car another story.
And I didn't think there was anything else that did.
Speaker 7 (16:28):
Purple power probably did perfect power. Yeah, okay, but you
still got scrub and still still he's a little stained.
They get rid of the the hard part of the shell.
I'll call it all right.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
So what were you in trouble? What am I in trouble?
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (16:45):
Man?
Speaker 7 (16:45):
You know the weeds are growing like crazy, right, they're
growing like a weed and we only got twenty seconds.
I think I'm gonna get one of those flamethrower weed killers.
Are you really yeah? You think no way? No, No,
I'm just saying no way. Are you really thinking about it?
Can I come over to help you do it?
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Sure? I think it would make a great visual.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
That'll be like the pressure washer when you get that
in your hands.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Do you think that's a no? No, though, i'd gear
of it.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Be very careful, be very cautious, and I think the
whole Yeah, there goes the mulch when you light it
all up. Oh yeah, bare ground, not on top of mulch.
And uh, you've got to hold that on there for
a certain amount of time or it doesn't do the job.
Speaker 7 (17:26):
I know it's somebody that got one, oh from tank,
I have a mentor. I'm gonna I'm gonna watch him succeed.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
All right, and give us an update on it. I've
always you know what. I've always wanted one of those, really,
Oh yeah, and I've never never went and got one.
But yeah, we got a new project. You used to
always see him in the magazines. Never see him sol
too much, you know. But I think that Pat.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
And may have gone. They're inexpensive.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Yeah they aren't that they are seventy eighty bucks. We
Dragon or something like that.
Speaker 7 (17:56):
We got them on I don't know, Fire King. Yeah, yeah,
they got him on Amazon. Run well, got it work.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
If you are neighbors of Gary Sullivan, ladies and gentlemen,
I'm just telling you right now, he's going for the
uh burn your weeds. I would be careful. You might
want to keep the power washer right behind you case
you light something on.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
I'll have my phone with me at all times.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Gary Sullivan always a pleasure his website, Garysullivan online dot com.
See you, sir, all right? All right, Coming up next,
buggy Joe Boggs here in the garden with Ron.

You have stagnant stuff Globe from the fifty KRC You Center.
Speaker 9 (19:02):
President Trump will be meeting with Ukrainian Leader of Vladimir
Zelensky at the White House on Monday to discuss ending
the war with Russia. Trump and Zelenski made the announcement
in a conference call with NATO leaders on Friday, following
Trump's meeting in Alaska with Russian leader of Vladimir Putin.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
I believe we had a very productive meeting.
Speaker 8 (19:18):
There were many many points that we agreed on most
of them, I would say.
Speaker 9 (19:22):
Trump reportedly called Zelenski from Air Force one on his
way back to Washington and told him and NATO leaders
that Putin doesn't want to cease fire and would prefer
a comprehensive agreement to end the war. The Justice Department
is backing away from its plans to take over the
Washington d C. Police Force. The Trump administration on Friday
rescinded an earlier order that named DEEA Chief Terry Cole
(19:42):
as emergency police chief. Instead, Metro Police Chief Pamela Smith
will stay in charge under Mayor Muriel Bowser. The Justice
Department has also directed Bowser to have police assist with
immigration enforcement and comply with federal database checks. The decision
comes after DC's Attorney general filed a lawsuit to challenge
the federal TIS takeover. I'm Misa Taylor, don't miss Clay

You're in the garden with Ron Wilson in this time
(20:30):
for the Buggy Joe Boggs Report. Joe Boggs, Assistant Professor,
Commercial Horder coachure Educator for the Ohio State University Extension
OHU Department of Entomology. Bygl dot OSU dot edu is
his website. Hello Joe, Hello Ron, How you doing today?
I'm great in yourself, Oh.
Speaker 8 (20:52):
Man, I tell you, I just can't complain. Although we
were having a chat before I came on about you know,
a couple couple of weeks from now, the big day,
Big day up in Columbus and uh, and so we're
gonna have to get all primed up for that, aren't we.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I'm already primed up. I don't know about you.
Speaker 8 (21:11):
I'm very primed up. I just wish it wasn't Texas because, uh,
bring it on. I think I think they're a little
upset with us though, you know how you's the word upset? Yes, yes,
right yes.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
By the way, by the way, you know the UH
O G I A. Ron Roth is playing healthcare newsletter
this week? Did you see the picture of you on there?
Speaker 8 (21:34):
I did not? Oh you didn't?
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Did you?
Speaker 1 (21:36):
And Steve Fault standing on the wall and it looks
like one of you You're trying to figure out who's
gonna jump first?
Speaker 8 (21:42):
Yeah, yeah, we had to, if you notice. And the
wall wasn't very tall, so we don't. We're not high
risk people.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
It's like Steve's going to Joe, You're gonna jump first?
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Am I gonna jump?
Speaker 8 (21:53):
Are you gonna go first? Or am I gonna go
that's a? Oh, that's A. That's the O G I
A and and I issue extension walk abouts. We love
doing those, and h Ron was that all of them put?
You know? And what we'd love about it is that
even though that in that case, Steve and I were
leading that at the Cincinnati Botanical Garden and zoom Ron
(22:18):
is always participating and uh and providing valuable information, which
is what we really do love with it. Even you know,
the teachers aren't just us, it's the whole group. And
that's because we have a lot of very good professionals
in the horticulture industry. I may be biased, but I
(22:38):
think that that's something that that you and I are
very fortunate about, right. Yeah, have so many just fantastic,
top notch people that can help us, for example, with
figuring out those little black spots on the side of
shiny sighting or cars. I've been hearing you Gary talk
(23:00):
about it. And you know, first of all, when you
go online, I think I think last week you may
have said this, but if you go online and and
and search you know, a shotgun fungus, about half the
pictures are incorrect. There bird's nest fungi that that are
being shown. The shotgun fungus fruiting structures are very very tiny,
(23:26):
and you kind of really have to get down your
hands and knees. But if you do be kind of
careful if you're wearing glasses, because that that does fungi
because there's more than one species. They aim at shiny surfaces.
It's been been shown research Dont Penn State, for example,
(23:47):
showed that that if you have a dull surface, if
you have something like a tree trunk, no, But if
you have a shiny surface, something like a leaf, yes,
really and in person might say yeah, might you might think, well,
why would a shiny surface be so helpful? Well, that
helps us with distribution, and that's why that that uh,
(24:09):
that spore packet is surrounded by such a sticky, gelatinous mass,
which I've said many times and I think Gary should
get onto this, says, I don't want to say a
retirement plan, but it could be something just to help
with his you know, with funding his house in kN
kuon right that find out what what one.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Of his many houses?
Speaker 8 (24:33):
Yes, I know we know about that. Yeah, he's always
always hanging that over us. You know, that's right, that's right,
but I mean, I mean they're not half as good
as the ones in Europe, but anyway, he is, he
coming over to your your spot in the That adhesive
(24:56):
is remarkable and there has been there has been some
work done on it, but nothing that I could find
it was published. The reason I know there's been some
work and had to do with trying to come up
with things to break it down. And it is stubborn.
I mean, I don't honestly think. I mean we're in
the epoxy group basically when we talk about how solid
(25:20):
you know, the that becomes once it dries. As you said,
you're exactly right. If you get it, Let's say that
it's launched first thing in the morning, because it doesn't
do it at night.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
It does it with daylight. As I said, at night.
Speaker 8 (25:36):
That's right. The positively phototrophy, positively phototrophy, so that means, yeah,
thank you love that. So if you get them, you know,
the day that it happens, you can do a pretty
good job of cleaning it. But that is unless you
have it on a shiny surface in the sun, which
(25:57):
happened at a car dealership or BMW's about twenty years
ago that we got you know, an email phone call
I forgetting now to try to help.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
And this isn't a.
Speaker 8 (26:10):
Dealership with with as I if I remember, there were
at least three white BMWs sitting next to mulch and
they had to repaint them. They it was that bad.
So if you if you don't, yeah, well of course
they were being sold you know, these little fly spacks. Well,
you know, didn't really didn't really help out. It didn't
(26:34):
go over well. But the point being is that the
identification why I said that, is because the birds nest
fungi that get mistaken for shotgun fungi. The birds and
nest fungi, if you go online and type that into
the search, you'll you'll see that that they are very
evident cup like structures that typically have two to four
(26:58):
sometimes three spores in the air looking like eggs.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
That's why the.
Speaker 8 (27:05):
Exactly they don't fire those spores off. So if you
have birds nest fungi, that's just another sacrifite, meaning that
it's just another decayor of organic matter h and doesn't
really doesn't really cause any it doesn't cause any problems.
There was some work done to see if you have
(27:26):
more of that, we have less shotgun fungi. In other words,
do they compete for the same resources. And my understanding
is that it's kind of a wash, so to speak.
Oh that was stretched right, Yeah, yeah, I know that's
pretty bad. Yeah. Uh, they will compete for the same resources,
but it doesn't seem like one suppresses the other, so.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
You can have both together.
Speaker 8 (27:51):
But if you see birds nest fungi, it doesn't mean
necessarily going to have shotgun fungi. And as you said,
raking Away, that that that mulch and redistributing it somewhere
is a good idea. But as you also know, you know,
once those spores are there, even in the soil you
put down new mult you're gonna have to be just say, cognizant,
(28:13):
just be aware that since this these are fungi that
are are actually good fungi, they're decaying organic matter, breaking
it down so that the organic matter can go into
the soil. The downside is that it's if you have
it in a location, it's kind of hard to get
rid of if you as long as you keep you know,
(28:34):
disturbing the mulch so it can't kind of get organized.
That's that's extremely helpful, and and you might want to
be thinking about, you know, going a year without mulch
in some locations, which is you know, kind of difficult
when we have droughty conditions because mulch is so helpful
with maintaining soil moisture, but it's it's a bit of
(28:58):
a challenge on the On the other hand, run, I mean,
I'm not a big fan of rock mult or what
we call inorganic mulch. There have been that, That's what
that dealership went to simply because they had to. But
around homes, I mean, I don't know, I just I'm not,
Like I said, I'm not a huge fan of it.
People can do what they want. But the key with
(29:22):
with organic mulch is it does break down over time.
It does contribute organic matter to the soil, so it
improves soil structure, and that's that's very important, particularly if
you have high clay soils, which you and I are
just we we've never seen that before, right, no, never.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
We got to take a break. Your takeaway from that
particular segment is positive phototrophic. Use that in conversation sometime
and saffro fyight safro fight.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
There you go, there you.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Go, use that in conversation sometime as well. But take
a break. Come back with the part two of the
Bugget Joe Boggs Report Here in the Garden with Ron.

He's got the car show. Then you're gonna get Victor Gray,
Sean Hannity, and it all happens right here at the
home of Joe Strecker. Fifty five KRC, the Talk Station.
Welcome back here in the garden with Ron Wilson. Time
(30:55):
for part two of the Buggy Joe Bobsy Porto issue
stition bygl do osu Edu. Hello Joe.
Speaker 8 (31:03):
Hello, Well, during the break I was cut loose. I
got disconnected and it was interesting because I had just
put another quarter, you know, in the phone. Is it
thirty five? Well, there was a suggestion maybe it was
a maybe it was a Canadian quarter. Or something like that.
(31:23):
I could explain it, yet, that could be it, that
could be it. I don't even have a good segue
for that. I don't even know where I was heading
with that. It's just kind of a funny thing.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
But Joe said he was going to play a joke
on you.
Speaker 8 (31:37):
I I know, I think that was quite the trickster.
He used to threaten that so many times, right, and
I finally came through.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Yeah, oh it still does.
Speaker 8 (31:49):
If I keep talking, I'm going to hear another clique.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
I know that.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Hey for you, I'm waiting.
Speaker 8 (31:56):
I think what we're going to talk about.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
You don't. This is totally off whatever you're going to
talk about.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Okay, hornworms.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
I haven't had too many reports of hornworms year, which
I think usually I get a bunch of them, and
I haven't had any as a matter of fact. But
I didn't know that you could take a black light
and they reflect the black light if you're looking for
him at nighttime on your tomato and pepper plants.
Speaker 8 (32:23):
Isn't that It is remarkable? Yes? I was like wow, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It takes us back to the old, to our younger days, remember,
you know, and everything with black lights everybody had one
in your room.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
No, no, well, no.
Speaker 8 (32:39):
No, that are misspent youth. I had a strobe light too,
Oh man, I just yeah, strobe light. Yes, I'm sorry,
I just I'm trying to think of the one of
many horror movies where strobe lights were involved. Right, you
just you just saw the bad thing coming at you,
(33:00):
you know, and as I go, no, I don't know,
I keep going in different directions. But black lights, it's
it is amazing how that's used for a number of
different insects and well, I should say arthropods because you
know the trick out West. They really are very very
(33:20):
useful if you're looking for scorpions, same deal. Those things
just they they light up with a black light. And
if you speak to people that you know, live where
scorpions can be an issue, it's not a bad idea,
you know, to kind of check your room out, you know,
with a black light very quickly.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
There you go, Joe Strecker, when you move to Arizona.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
There you go.
Speaker 8 (33:44):
That's right, And well, I know Gary's homes down and can.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Kun you know black lights on Arizona too.
Speaker 8 (33:53):
You know. It is interesting though, like you I expected,
I expected Frank on my own tomatoes to be seeing uh,
at least the tobacco. Well, now here's the thing. So
yesterday I was out there just well, I was picking
some tomatoes. Only have three plants, but they are thick.
(34:14):
And I found a little bit of little tiny pellets
and these hadn't turned black yet, but little.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Yes, yes, so you tasted them and they weren't crunchy.
Speaker 8 (34:30):
No, if you know that there are limits, there are
limits to my entomological you.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Know, by the way, you know what a drone bee
tastes like, because Barbon and I were talking about this
this morning.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
A drone bee.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Yeah, there are actually people that will pick the drone
bees and eat them fresh. They don't taste like chicken.
They taste like, oh.
Speaker 8 (34:53):
There, Well that's interesting. That's interesting.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
And I said, you know what, Joe Boggs will never
find out. She said, no, you right now, I will.
Speaker 8 (35:01):
I will never find out. But the little black pellets
tells me that. And Ron I looked.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
I looked very hard, and.
Speaker 8 (35:10):
It's just a So I'm gonna have to see if
I can find a black light because there has to
be by the way, So what we're talking about is
insect excrement that we call frass.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
And you I do.
Speaker 8 (35:23):
Yeah, that's what we're saying that poop poop. But frass
is a great word because it doesn't really sound at
all like what it stands for right where it comes from. Yeah,
so it's a good indicator. Fresh we're skirting around this
(35:43):
right so that Joe Joe doesn't hang up on me. Again,
it's a it's a great indicator when you do have
certain insects and tobacco or tomato horn worms. And I'm
saying that that way because I've had folks go online
and they'll have a tobacco horn worm, which was really
more common frankly on tomatoes.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
I see, I never get that. Why do we see
that more? And why does the tobacco hornworm have it's
got the redtail right, and the tomato backworm or as
the black horn and that doesn't make sense either.
Speaker 8 (36:15):
But nevertheless, well it's one of those deals where I've
I've had really nice picture set in fact last year
and because the person went online to look I mean,
they were on tomatoes, but they well what and they
saw that they looked up tomato hornworm, and of course
they look very similar. Obviously, but not quite the same,
(36:35):
and so they thought they had a different a whole
different thing. And so that's why I want to make
sure people know, Okay, they're two different species. And it's
because you know, tobacco and tomatoes are in the same
family soul an Ace, so you know that it's the
insect of just feeding on another host. But if you
(36:55):
are searching for these things and just can't find them,
I really am please that you said that about the
black light because you can buy these now in a
flashlight form. That's what I've seen the entomologists you out
in Arizona doing research on scorpions, and so you know,
that makes it kind of a little easier. If a
(37:16):
person has quite a few tomato plants, in my case,
with three plants, I'm eventually going to find the caterpillars.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
I just can't believe.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
I yeah, and then it's as big as your little finger,
and you go, how did I not see that?
Speaker 8 (37:30):
Yeah, by then it's knocking your tomatoes over. You know,
I'm kind of going after your you know, dogs and
cats and just yeah, like, oh my gosh. But I
will tell you the last thing we need to bring up,
and maybe we're going to have to hold the next week,
which won't be a problem. But these little, these helmet
shaped things that can show up on Magnolia's well, helmet
(37:51):
shaped things.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
I did bring it up earlier and I said, I
don't know if Joe's going to talk about it or.
Speaker 8 (37:55):
Not, but yeah, yeah, all your scale being a lookout
for it. Now, Look, if you have a small magnolia tree,
like one of my neighbors up the street has a
very small magnolia tree, and honestly, if it's if you
don't want to do it barehanded, you can do it
with gloves. But if you spend a little time and
squash these things, that's the end of it. It's called
(38:17):
a soft scale. And so if it's a small tree,
and I emphasize that right ron because a big, bigger
magnolia that could take a while, But only a small tree.
I've had many homeowners tell me, you know, that's what
they did for years and and you got rid of
the problem. If it's a larger tree, though, and you
(38:38):
try to spray them, now, you're not going to get
much in the way of control. Uh. They're waxy. Uh,
they are sucking juice from directly underneath their bodies out
of the tree, so they're not going to you know,
take up the insecticide. Even a systemic applied right now
is going to have a limited impact on these big
(38:59):
females that are, you know, pulling juice from the tree.
It won't be too much longer, though, until we'll start
going into a stage called the crawler stage. Those females
lay eggs of they hatch and then the crawlers start feeding.
And if you do have a systemic in the tree
at that time, or spray the tree directly when they're
(39:21):
crawlers available, you can suppress them. But right now it's
a difficult time. On the other hand, look for lady
beetles and we'll talk more about that next week.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
