Speaker 1 (00:35):
Now our total free number eight hundred eight two three
eight two five five. Good morning. I am Ron Wilson,
your personal yard boy, talking about yard day, moving our
way through this month of September. Wow, where has this
month gone?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
We are?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
You know, we're talking another week and what three days?
And we're out of here?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
And then you're on When I turn your mic on,
that's what actually works.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
You know, when you turn that when I see that
red button goes on and then all of a sudden
I can hear myself again. Yes, that happens sometimes anyway,
talking about yarding, taking your calls at eight hundred eighty
two three eight two five five. Of course our website
Ron Wilson online dot com and our Facebook page in
the Garden with Ron Wilson. Of course there's a lot
of activity going on there on Saturday mornings as well.
(01:19):
But as we're cruising in the fall, so many great
things going on out there. We were talking earlier about
the things that you don't want to do. This is
also a great time of the year for digging and
dividing a lot of those perennials, especially the spring and
summer flowering perennials, not the fall bloomers. But the spring
and summer flying perennials, this is a good time to
dig and divide those, separate them out. You know that
(01:40):
perennial gardens always on the move. Always those clumbs get
a little bit bigger and you thought they were going
to get but always on the move. But I do
wonder four and I talk about digging and dividing the perennials.
Also a great time for digging and moving those shrubs
that may be in the wrong place, or roses in
the wrong place, or trees or whatever that you need
(02:01):
to dig and move somewhere else. Transplanting. This is a
great time of the year to do that. I do
want to forewarn you that if you are in a
dry situation right now, you want to water those plants
really well, three or four days in advance. Get good
moisture in the soil, get good moisture in the plant
as well, and then dig and move and in the
course water and will be key as you move those
(02:23):
to their new location. But this time of the year
is great for doing that. In the course planting all
those great colors like moms and asters and pansies, cold
hardy annuals ornamental grasses looking really cool right now. Ornamental
cabbage and kale, And I'm telling you, ornamental cabbage and
kale and mustard greens ornamental mustard are definitely way underused
(02:44):
in your fall planters and your fall beds and blank
areas around the house that you can add a little
bit of fall color. Because when all these other plants
I just talked about are pooping out because it got
cold and they're done, and we're getting into close to
Thanksgiving and all that stuff is done, guess what's still
gonna be just getting better and better. Ornamental cabbage and
(03:07):
kale and mustard greens. Giant red or big red tastes
like horse radish, great flavor, just gets that darker purple
red as it gets colder. That's the whole key with
these plants. They get darker as the temperatures get colder,
and more bright colors and it's just beautiful. And then
if it snows and they last into the winter, it's
(03:27):
even more spectacular. So if you are planning ornamental cabbage,
kale and the mustard greens like the big red or
giant you're messing out. And I saw it was an
up in Cleveland this week at a garden center up
there and add a lot of different assortments, different colors,
pinks and whites and lavenders and reds, and is amazing
that which you can get out of those. But they
(03:50):
had one that we're going to grow next year that
is a a an actual cabbage. It's a purple cabbage,
has a purpleish red color the leaves and the head.
It's a fast producer, so it only takes about seventy
days to produce the head. It's a small head, but
growing it for the fall. So you check this out.
(04:12):
It's like the giant red or big red mustard green.
Not only do you get the color out of the
leaves or big bold leaves and that beautiful brightly colored
head in the center, but then once it's matured, you
can cut the head out of the middle and use
that for eating, like around Thanksgiving, and you still have
(04:33):
the red leaves around the outside of it, giving you
great fall color. What a great idea. I think it
was called ruby red or royal ruby, something like that,
but it was what a great idea. Dinner in a
show right there for fall colors. But you're overlooking great
color if you pie pass those ornamental cabbages, kales, mustard greens,
(04:55):
and the next year look for that particular cabbage as well.
It's a regular cabbage. Great colors, but again, lots of
great color out there right now. To freshen up those containers,
freshen up the entry plantings around the patio. Herbs can
be planted right now, and those containers as well, ornamental peppers.
Just so many great things for you to take a
look at. So get out to your local independent garden
centers this weekend and check them out. To the gardening
(05:18):
phone lines, we shall go to Delaware, Delaware. Scott, good morning,
Good morning, Yes, sir.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
I have a tree in my backyard. It puts out
rice acorns. The limbs on it are starting to split
length waves, and it is starting to weep. Is there
anything I can do to save it? I don't know
whether it should be prinned back or it's beyond saving
or what.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Is this a big tree?
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
It is, and it has it's from the weight of something,
or they're splitting or just all of a sudden.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Yeah, I planted here. I saw one of the limbs
was splitt in length waves, right, and that got several
of them doing it and they're starting to weep out
of their splits.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah, so you're getting a sapping, sapping coming out where
it's where it's this is the trip the branch is split.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Well, it's actually in the limbs that's not in the main.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Well, that's what I'm saying. On the limb itself where
it's split, then it starts to sap out of that.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Uh uh.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
And so acorns, meaning you've got an oak tree right, uh.
And these are talking we're talking like fifty sixty feet
tall big trees.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
No, no, it's not that big. It's maybe forty feet.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Because oak trees can, naturally, depending on what type it is,
they naturally sometimes carry a little bit dead wood. So
you get all these you know, like my and my mom,
she's got some older pinoaks that are three feet in
diameter trunk diameter, and the width on these things are
go out one hundred feet. And every year there are
branches that die and you know, and they are split.
(06:56):
Sometimes they just die back. It just naturally carries that
dead would and we have to have those cleaned out
every three or four years and knock all that dead
stuff out of there. So that's kind of a natural
thing with some of the oaks. But you know, if
you're seeing it throughout the entire tree, that's not normal.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
I'm getting more and more of them all the time.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Yeah. You know what I do, Scott, and I don't
have an answer for you without really seeing it, seeing
the overall tree is I would invest the money and
have a certified arbor stop out, and it may cost
you fifty bucks. There's seventy five dollars for them to
stop buy and take a look. But they canna look
and try to diagnose the issue if you've gotten into
any kind of a vascular disease or what could be
(07:39):
causing that to happen. Especially if you're seeing it showing
up on multiple branches, that's not normal.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Yeah, a friend I didn't notice that. A friend of
mine picked it out when I had the first one
split and he had the same thing happened to him,
and he called an arborus and they come out and
told him it had to be prune back, and they
prune it back, and a thousand dollars later, they couldn't
save it.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Yeah, I don't have a thousand dollars right now.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
No, I get that. I don't know what the pruning
back would have would have done for you besides cleaning
out whole branches, but cutting it back. No, and you know, again,
if it's a if it's a pinoak, you know they
naturally have that weeping branch. Anyway, they kind of come
out and hang back down again. I'll tell you what
you can do two things. If you can take me
a picture one or two of the overall tree, and
(08:32):
then give me some shots of the branch, a couple
branches up close with that split. I have a couple
of really good friends that are certified to ARBIST. I'll
share the pictures with them and we'll come back to
you with a you know something to help you out
just looking at those pictures. Just go to Ron Wilson
at iHeartMedia dot com and send them to me and
I'll have them look at him. I'll look at him.
(08:53):
We'll come back to you and tell you what we
think could be the issue. Okay, sound good? Yes, thank you, yeah,
and I'll watch for those. Let me know. John and Florida,
good morning, good morning.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
How are you sir.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
I'm doing great in yourself.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
I am fishing right now, so good for you. Nice
and warm in Florida.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
There you go.
Speaker 6 (09:15):
Yeah, and I've caught too Spanish backrols, all right, so yeah,
right on. Hey, So the reason I'm paulin where I live,
one of the amenities is we get access to raised
garden beds. Yes, they're about seven foot by three maybe
three and a half foot long, and we can grow
whatever we want in it. But the time span I
(09:38):
may have is October until early March. So I'm just
wondering what could grow out there. Like when I do
it in the spring, it's easy, tomatoes, peppers, you know,
it's easy, but basil and that type of thing. But
I'm just you know, you were talking earlier about cabbages.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
I don't know if.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
That's a option.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
I don't know. Well, I'm just looking for some home.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Does it cool down where you are over the winter
time in Florida? Does it stay pretty warm?
Speaker 6 (10:05):
It's you know what, I'm in a panhandle, so okay,
basically it's barely warm, but in December it ken I've
seen it go into freezing.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Sure. Then what I'd look at would be root crops
like you know, radishes, beets, things like that. They're pretty
cold tolerant. And then you look at the greens like
cabbages and kales, collars, you know, things like that all
tolerate and some of the Asian greens as well, tolerate
cooler tempts. And I'll tell you something you might want
to take a look at, John, if they allow you
(10:35):
to do this, is take like a one inch PVC
pipe and cut it so you make hoops over the top,
so you could actually hoop it a little plastic. You
don't have to cover up the ends, but just over
the top to help hold in a little bit of
heat when it does get really cold, and it's still
vented by having the ends open. But yeah, I would
(10:55):
be looking at perennial herbs, not the annuals, but perennial herbs.
And then I'd looking at the greens, carrots, radishes, beets, turnips,
and yeah, I think that's the right direction to go.
And like this cabbage I was telling you about earlier,
it produces ahead in seventy days, so you know a
lot of those smaller heads. That's perfect for you in
(11:16):
a situation like that.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
I wonder how well and I'm going to mispronounce this masculine.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Masculine mess let us, Yeah, Oh absolutely, yeah, that's see
that masculine mixes is a quick end, quick out, so
you you would be doing that and some of those
are cut and come again, so you harvest it and
they regrow again, so right out of the root system
that's there, So you would use this cooler weather is
perfect for something like that.
Speaker 6 (11:44):
Okay, perfect because I like it. I grow it on
my indoor hydroponic. Yes, you know, the little little system.
I'll go three or four at a time, right, and
I make sandwiches with it all day. Absolutely yep. So yeah,
so thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
I appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
So now you're gonna have mackerel and muscular mixed sandwiches.
Speaker 6 (12:05):
I actually got company in from out of town, so
who are probably gonna go out and eat?
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Uh? Got it? Hey, John, good talking to you.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
Yes, sir, thank you. I really appreciate it all.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
Word, mister Wilson.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
You know why you and I are so healthy. Mister
Sullivan and mister Boggs speak to me because we played
in the dirt when we were kids. Oh I think
I know. Scientific research is now proving that kids kids
that play in the dirt are much more healthy, are
(15:59):
much more immune, have much better bioguts microbes than those
kids that do not. So you know, you need to
get the kids outside, Let them get their hands dirty,
play in that dirt, playing little something. Maybe dig the
trench to put that new down spout in. Yeah, whatever
(16:21):
it may be. But get some dirt on your hands.
I agree, totally, get some dirt in your mouth. Well yeah, well,
you know we all eat a little dirt every now
and then, a little bit dust comes up and stuff
like Thattely, No, they really did. They have had so
many studies now and this is the most recent when
they said one gram of soil can contain ten billion
micro organisms. Well they did this research for ten weeks.
(16:45):
Kids that were not allowed to be, you know, touching
the soil they were on like AstroTurf and all that,
versus kids that were everyday, planting seeds, digging into soil,
doing whatever. And the program not only had positive changes
in the got micro biota micro biota, yeah, but also
improved you know it. They're psychological well being. Fascinating gardening
(17:11):
right there, Ladies and gentlemen, just two of the many
benefits that home improvement cannot say.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Well, I could probably come some studies.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I'm sure you can.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
I'll start waiting for my color year something.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Oh my god, I got it last week from I
didn't No, no, I didn't get I didn't get pantones yet,
had three colors? Oh did? They haven't gotten it yet.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
I'll wait all right, they've just kind of lost its
luster to me.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Well, the garden media group that they do their garden
trends and they had I forget what they said, but
they usually kind of kick it off and I forgot
to bring that with me. So anyway, Hey, I thought
of you this week because I was, as I always do,
because you're my hero. I was in Cleveland, Ohio, and
you know you're big in Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Hey, one's great.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
I didn't say that anything. I just said because you're
and everybody I met at the trade show Big Garden show.
Uh said, Hey, you know Gary Sullivan? Hey do you
know Gary Sullivan? Is that Gary Sulimon as nice as
he seems on the radio at the convention center right
there by the stadium?
Speaker 5 (18:19):
And are you a friend of Gary Sullivan?
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Writing? Downtown? Huh?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Right? And downtown State at the Marriotte. You know, I
felt kind of dumb because we pulled in the Marriott,
I got you know, we checked and I said, how
far is the walk here to the convention Center? The
guy said, right across the street.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Oh, I'm pretty convenient. Somebody took care of me.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Folks at BFG got his book there, So here you go.
Lots of lots of things going on there. So interesting
what they have to say about pumpkins. They didn't say
anything about pumpkins.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Why I think the price of pumpkins might be high
this year? Uh?
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Not with us?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
No, No, I didn't get much water, did they?
Speaker 1 (19:00):
But you know that, you know the thing of it
is when when they got the water, they were okay
up to that point, and it could reduce the sizing
a little bit. Okay, but we're okay, we're fine. Well
you might want to do that too last year after year,
but uh, now we're in pretty good shape. And the
(19:21):
prices right now, I've been staying right about same as
last year. Maybe up just a tab, which is normal
because of tariffs and shipping.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Tariffs on pumpkins. We're getting our pumpkins from.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
China state to state tariffs.
Speaker 2 (19:37):

Yes, sir.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
The giveaway, I.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Mean the big bucks now boys, I'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Was the video.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
Oh yeah, Oh isn't that.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
He sent me a picture and a video and said,
what in the heck am I seeing on my beach tree?
Speaker 5 (27:13):
And they seem to be pretty common this year, although
I haven't run across and I'm just so I need
to do that because I've posted on them, as you know,
and I even have a video to music posted on YouTube.
But you can never have enough, right right, my wife,
(27:33):
I was taking some pictures my long suffering family. You know,
they're tagging along and you know, in fact, in fact,
my daughter got me a T shirt that says wait,
wait a bug, because because that's what they they heard
growing up, you know, and and and more than once
(27:54):
my wife and family said, well, I thought you've taken
a lot of pictures of those, and my response is
you can ever have enough, right and this particular one,
you can never have enough. And with video that really
doesn't doesn't it. Oh goodness?
Speaker 1 (28:09):
But they had no idea. And when she's you know,
obviously said when I got close to it also to
start moving like, what in the world is this?
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Well, this is.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
Their very you know, it's we're doing an inside joke thing,
aren't we. Because I just realized, oh, you know, we
we better talk about this. Because Curtis Young, for example,
van OSU Extension van Wert County this past Tuesday, you know,
every Tuesday morning we have our gathering of different extension
folks who work with trees and shrubs, and and he
(28:39):
wild us with some really great photography. It was on
the o ISSU Mansfield campus was really a nice campus.
A lot of folks don't realize that Ohio State does
have these other campuses. But nonetheless, the OSU Mansfield campus
has a very nice woods on the property and every
(29:01):
year they can almost you can almost count all it,
which is not true all over the place. Because I
have revisited sites with American Beach and that's very important
to start with. So these are only found on American Beach,
not European beach. If you find white aphids and European beach,
they're going to be on the underside of the leaves,
(29:22):
maybe a little bit at the tips of the twigs,
and those are just called beach leaf aphids. Okay, so
they have a pretty nice name, beach leaf aped But
if it's you're looking at American Beach and you have
this these gatherings of hundreds thousands really in tight bunches,
and we call them a colony, even though that's not
(29:43):
entirely correct. You know, they're not really colonial. It's just
a grouping of these white looking insects. And if you
look very closer, they look like little cotton balls, don't
they They just but that's at the back end of
their abdomen. So you if you look real close, so
you can see that this co and balls attached to
an insect and if you do nothing, they just they're
(30:04):
just you know, moving around. But even if you just
blow on them, if you do anything disturbing, they start
wiggling that cotton ball that Q tip at their tail
end in Unison, and I thought, I've always thought that
was kind of interesting because Curtis, for example, showed a
video and I've never I've never paid attention to this,
(30:25):
and I probably saw it, but there's a whole group
of these beach blight aphids or boogie woogie aphids, because
it looks like they're dancing in Unison. There's a whole
group wiggling. There were ends, you know, in Unison, and
then there was one by itself out kind of on
leaf and Ron. It was it was, it was in
sync with the rest of them. It was wiggling next
(30:49):
neighborhoods out there, which yeah, which you know, you know, obviously,
if we could just hear aphid talk, they'd be yelling
all together now you know, you know, I'm sorry, Yeah, no,
I'd do my Richard Simmons or something like that. You know,
it's just dancing around, but it's well, that's an old
name in that Oh my gosh, well you know. I'm
(31:11):
just thinking this.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Yeah, really.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
High energy.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Tell me you worked out on TV. You worked out
in your family room on the TV watching Richard Simmons.
Speaker 5 (31:22):
I kept falling off the TV. That was a problem. Wrong.
I wanted to work out on the TV. Oh, he's
really flat screens. It just didn't work. That's why I
stopped working out.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Well, we got to take a break with ladies and gentlemen.
He won the grand prize. It is boogie woogie aphid uh.
What's the other one?
Speaker 5 (31:39):
Beach beach black white, he sounds. Yeah. They don't call
it any harm. But you will come back to some
of these things.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Yeah, yeah, okay, Well, anyway you want, I'll get your

Speaker 5 (34:27):
Sounds like that, doesn't it. So so it's really hit
the media this past Oh.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
My gosh, you got Joe Strecker. Joe Strucker was on
his soapbox last week about that. He's like, oh my god,
you've got to be kidding me.
Speaker 5 (34:43):
Well, you know, it's something, it's something. So so what
we're talking about. If you go to our b y
g L, I mean, if you just even just google
b yg L or whatever search engine you use that
stands for Buckeye Yard and Garden Online, but byg you'll
see the postings and and it's, uh, you know, you
(35:03):
and I have talked about this just about this time
every year we do have in Ohio. So if you're
talking the you know, Ohio, if you're talking Maryland, uh,
in this in this belt, in this eastern area, and
we do have a native kissing bug, and it's called
a bloodsucking tone. Those sounds terrible. It focuses its attention
(35:26):
though on animals, on small animals, even where it exists
all the way down in Central and South America, same species,
but it is it doesn't come after people quite as
much as the other kissing bugs. And people are probably wondering, what, well,
what the what's wrong with the kissing bug? Well, there is.
(35:47):
These bugs can carry a protozoan, a little tiny worm
like critter that that can infect people and lead to
a disease, a disease called Schegi's disease at agus Schegi's disease,
which is which is a serious disease. But we've never
(36:10):
seen that occur in Ohio where a kissing bug has
bitten a person, they've contracted Schega's disease. It has occurred
in Texas and some southern states. And kissing bugs are
a real problem in Central and South America quite frankly,
where many of the species, and there's more than one,
many of the species behave a little bit like bedbugs.
(36:31):
They come into homes and they exist in large numbers
in homes. So and then of course you have people
who who are infected and have Shegi's disease. They get
bitten by kissing bug, and then that bug goes and
bites somebody else. And you see what I'm driving at.
It does spread the disease, but not in Ohio. However,
(36:53):
as a result of year after year, because every year
we talk about them, don't we run.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
That's what your record was all fired up, I said,
you know, you can't count on buggy Joe to do yourself.
Speaker 5 (37:04):
Well, yeah, it's a it's a very strange thing because
you go back and look at past writings. I think
I think this is one of those you know, good
or bad. With the web, you know, people can find
information now like they never could in the past. So
(37:24):
someone finds an insect, you know, you know, walking around
they've never seen before, they're fairly big, and then they
go on the web and and even I hate to
say I've been told this, I've never tried them out.
Even some of the identification apps on phones for other
insects can take you to kissing bugs. So so it's
(37:44):
a bit of a problem. And we don't know. I mean,
on one hand, are we seeing more or is it
just that people are able to get you know, uh,
information easier, and I think.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
It's yeah, I agree with that.
Speaker 5 (38:02):
Yeah, I think that's it. But here's the real problem.
Then we have all these lookalikes. So the big one
is a wheelbug. Got actually a little bit bigger. And
in fact, yesterday during the is a field day, a
wheelbug was found and we all looked at it, and
you know, I can kind of see why people kind
you know, they have kind of stilt like legs, just
(38:24):
like kissing bugs, kind of elongated.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Bodies trying to kiss me.
Speaker 5 (38:31):
Well attack, I tell you, even I want, well, I
won't handle wheelbugs. They are good bugs. They are predators.
They have. All these bugs, including kissing bugs, are in
a family that we call assassin bugs, and so wheelbugs,
as their name implies, they kill things. They kill other insects.
(38:51):
They use this pierce they're piercing, sucking mouth parts to
inject enzymes and then does all the innards of their
prey and then suck it up for food. But if
you mishandle these, which I'm not, we often say that mishandled, well, yeah,
I mean, if you squeeze on them, they can bite you.
That's the main point. They won't come after you and
(39:12):
bite you, but wheelbugs can deliver pretty painful bite. So
people have been bitten by wheelbugs, and of course they
look at it, and even I probably would make a
little noise if one of them landed on me. But
the point being, is there a bunch of look like?
So I posted on Tuesday about kissing bugs, and Ron,
(39:34):
oh my goodness, I started getting pictures of everything but
kissing bugs. And again, you know, you know, we want
folks to take a really good look at what they're
thinking is a kissing bug, because we really do want
to know, you know, about them. I've been keeping track
of where they're being found in Ohio, and one thing
(39:58):
that's pretty consistent. If they're in or around the home. First,
you don't have a bunch of them. You only have
maybe one or two at most, very often in a garage.
But usually that home is surrounded by woods, maybe in
the woods, or has very close at hand. You know
what we'd call naturalized area. That's nice. Growing up in
(40:20):
West Virginia, I wish we'd have known that because all
these fields that we let go, we could have just
called them naturalized areas, right, Yeah, it would have sounded better. Yeah, yeah,
but what else do you find in naturalized areas and
in the woods you find mice, ratoons, you find a
lot of animals, and that's what the blood sucking tone
nose goes after. Now, they do suck blood from these
(40:45):
other animals. And if you're in close, if they're in
close proximity or home, yes, occasionally they will wander in.
And that's why we want to kind of know about this.
Is there a consistency with location, you know, the different
counties they do seem to be more often found in
(41:05):
southern Ohio, the southern part of the state, or the
paper written in nineteen sixty that said, you know, this
kissing bug is endemic, meaning it you know, it's native
too southern Ohio. So it's been with us forever apparently,
and it's not unexpected to find them. But let's all
(41:27):
pay closed attention to exactly what we're seeing. So I
posted yesterday or no day before yesterday Thursday, a follow
up showing the look alikes. And I got to tell you,
based on what my wife found on the front porch,
I'm going to have to add another one. And I
want to add the one that with a squashed pine bug. Yes,
(41:50):
it looks a little bit like it.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
Yeah, I loved it. On the sixteenth we get the
Ohio kissing bug conundrum, and then on the eighteenth quick
follow up. Look closely, there are a lot of look alike.
That's so take your Scheghi's disease, you bloodsucking coos and
get out of here.
Speaker 5 (42:06):
I will, I will, I'm gonna go dance with the
aphis there you.
Speaker 1 (42:09):
Go, Buggy, Joe bugs always a pleasure. Have a great
Saturday off because the Bucks don't play today.
Speaker 5 (42:14):
I know it's gonna be fantastic. You have a great
weekend and week.
Speaker 1 (42:18):
Rod all right, take care of Joe Buggy Joe Boggs
byg L dot O su dot e du Thanks all
of our colles, thanks our sponsors, thanks of course of
Danny Glees and our producer. Without Danny, none of the
stuff would happen. I'll do yourself a favorite. We're you
gonna plant a tree or two or three. Get the
kids involved with gardening. Very important by all means making
the best weekend of your life. See it.
Speaker 3 (42:42):
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 7 (43:00):
I don't
Speaker 6 (43:03):
Know
Now our total free number eight hundred eight two three
eight two five five. Good morning. I am Ron Wilson,
your personal yard boy, talking about yard day, moving our
way through this month of September. Wow, where has this
month gone?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
We are?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
You know, we're talking another week and what three days?
And we're out of here?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
And then you're on When I turn your mic on,
that's what actually works.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
You know, when you turn that when I see that
red button goes on and then all of a sudden
I can hear myself again. Yes, that happens sometimes anyway,
talking about yarding, taking your calls at eight hundred eighty
two three eight two five five. Of course our website
Ron Wilson online dot com and our Facebook page in
the Garden with Ron Wilson. Of course there's a lot
of activity going on there on Saturday mornings as well.
(01:19):
But as we're cruising in the fall, so many great
things going on out there. We were talking earlier about
the things that you don't want to do. This is
also a great time of the year for digging and
dividing a lot of those perennials, especially the spring and
summer flowering perennials, not the fall bloomers. But the spring
and summer flying perennials, this is a good time to
dig and divide those, separate them out. You know that
(01:40):
perennial gardens always on the move. Always those clumbs get
a little bit bigger and you thought they were going
to get but always on the move. But I do
wonder four and I talk about digging and dividing the perennials.
Also a great time for digging and moving those shrubs
that may be in the wrong place, or roses in
the wrong place, or trees or whatever that you need
(02:01):
to dig and move somewhere else. Transplanting. This is a
great time of the year to do that. I do
want to forewarn you that if you are in a
dry situation right now, you want to water those plants
really well, three or four days in advance. Get good
moisture in the soil, get good moisture in the plant
as well, and then dig and move and in the
course water and will be key as you move those
(02:23):
to their new location. But this time of the year
is great for doing that. In the course planting all
those great colors like moms and asters and pansies, cold
hardy annuals ornamental grasses looking really cool right now. Ornamental
cabbage and kale, And I'm telling you, ornamental cabbage and
kale and mustard greens ornamental mustard are definitely way underused
(02:44):
in your fall planters and your fall beds and blank
areas around the house that you can add a little
bit of fall color. Because when all these other plants
I just talked about are pooping out because it got
cold and they're done, and we're getting into close to
Thanksgiving and all that stuff is done, guess what's still
gonna be just getting better and better. Ornamental cabbage and
(03:07):
kale and mustard greens. Giant red or big red tastes
like horse radish, great flavor, just gets that darker purple
red as it gets colder. That's the whole key with
these plants. They get darker as the temperatures get colder,
and more bright colors and it's just beautiful. And then
if it snows and they last into the winter, it's
(03:27):
even more spectacular. So if you are planning ornamental cabbage,
kale and the mustard greens like the big red or
giant you're messing out. And I saw it was an
up in Cleveland this week at a garden center up
there and add a lot of different assortments, different colors,
pinks and whites and lavenders and reds, and is amazing
that which you can get out of those. But they
(03:50):
had one that we're going to grow next year that
is a a an actual cabbage. It's a purple cabbage,
has a purpleish red color the leaves and the head.
It's a fast producer, so it only takes about seventy
days to produce the head. It's a small head, but
growing it for the fall. So you check this out.
(04:12):
It's like the giant red or big red mustard green.
Not only do you get the color out of the
leaves or big bold leaves and that beautiful brightly colored
head in the center, but then once it's matured, you
can cut the head out of the middle and use
that for eating, like around Thanksgiving, and you still have
(04:33):
the red leaves around the outside of it, giving you
great fall color. What a great idea. I think it
was called ruby red or royal ruby, something like that,
but it was what a great idea. Dinner in a
show right there for fall colors. But you're overlooking great
color if you pie pass those ornamental cabbages, kales, mustard greens,
(04:55):
and the next year look for that particular cabbage as well.
It's a regular cabbage. Great colors, but again, lots of
great color out there right now. To freshen up those containers,
freshen up the entry plantings around the patio. Herbs can
be planted right now, and those containers as well, ornamental peppers.
Just so many great things for you to take a
look at. So get out to your local independent garden
centers this weekend and check them out. To the gardening
(05:18):
phone lines, we shall go to Delaware, Delaware. Scott, good morning,
Good morning, Yes, sir.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
I have a tree in my backyard. It puts out
rice acorns. The limbs on it are starting to split
length waves, and it is starting to weep. Is there
anything I can do to save it? I don't know
whether it should be prinned back or it's beyond saving
or what.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Is this a big tree?
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
It is, and it has it's from the weight of something,
or they're splitting or just all of a sudden.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Yeah, I planted here. I saw one of the limbs
was splitt in length waves, right, and that got several
of them doing it and they're starting to weep out
of their splits.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah, so you're getting a sapping, sapping coming out where
it's where it's this is the trip the branch is split.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Well, it's actually in the limbs that's not in the main.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Well, that's what I'm saying. On the limb itself where
it's split, then it starts to sap out of that.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Uh uh.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
And so acorns, meaning you've got an oak tree right, uh.
And these are talking we're talking like fifty sixty feet
tall big trees.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
No, no, it's not that big. It's maybe forty feet.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Because oak trees can, naturally, depending on what type it is,
they naturally sometimes carry a little bit dead wood. So
you get all these you know, like my and my mom,
she's got some older pinoaks that are three feet in
diameter trunk diameter, and the width on these things are
go out one hundred feet. And every year there are
branches that die and you know, and they are split.
(06:56):
Sometimes they just die back. It just naturally carries that
dead would and we have to have those cleaned out
every three or four years and knock all that dead
stuff out of there. So that's kind of a natural
thing with some of the oaks. But you know, if
you're seeing it throughout the entire tree, that's not normal.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
I'm getting more and more of them all the time.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Yeah. You know what I do, Scott, and I don't
have an answer for you without really seeing it, seeing
the overall tree is I would invest the money and
have a certified arbor stop out, and it may cost
you fifty bucks. There's seventy five dollars for them to
stop buy and take a look. But they canna look
and try to diagnose the issue if you've gotten into
any kind of a vascular disease or what could be
(07:39):
causing that to happen. Especially if you're seeing it showing
up on multiple branches, that's not normal.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Yeah, a friend I didn't notice that. A friend of
mine picked it out when I had the first one
split and he had the same thing happened to him,
and he called an arborus and they come out and
told him it had to be prune back, and they
prune it back, and a thousand dollars later, they couldn't
save it.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Yeah, I don't have a thousand dollars right now.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
No, I get that. I don't know what the pruning
back would have would have done for you besides cleaning
out whole branches, but cutting it back. No, and you know, again,
if it's a if it's a pinoak, you know they
naturally have that weeping branch. Anyway, they kind of come
out and hang back down again. I'll tell you what
you can do two things. If you can take me
a picture one or two of the overall tree, and
(08:32):
then give me some shots of the branch, a couple
branches up close with that split. I have a couple
of really good friends that are certified to ARBIST. I'll
share the pictures with them and we'll come back to
you with a you know something to help you out
just looking at those pictures. Just go to Ron Wilson
at iHeartMedia dot com and send them to me and
I'll have them look at him. I'll look at him.
(08:53):
We'll come back to you and tell you what we
think could be the issue. Okay, sound good? Yes, thank you, yeah,
and I'll watch for those. Let me know. John and Florida,
good morning, good morning.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
How are you sir.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
I'm doing great in yourself.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
I am fishing right now, so good for you. Nice
and warm in Florida.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
There you go.
Speaker 6 (09:15):
Yeah, and I've caught too Spanish backrols, all right, so yeah,
right on. Hey, So the reason I'm paulin where I live,
one of the amenities is we get access to raised
garden beds. Yes, they're about seven foot by three maybe
three and a half foot long, and we can grow
whatever we want in it. But the time span I
(09:38):
may have is October until early March. So I'm just
wondering what could grow out there. Like when I do
it in the spring, it's easy, tomatoes, peppers, you know,
it's easy, but basil and that type of thing. But
I'm just you know, you were talking earlier about cabbages.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
I don't know if.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
That's a option.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
I don't know. Well, I'm just looking for some home.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Does it cool down where you are over the winter
time in Florida? Does it stay pretty warm?
Speaker 6 (10:05):
It's you know what, I'm in a panhandle, so okay,
basically it's barely warm, but in December it ken I've
seen it go into freezing.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Sure. Then what I'd look at would be root crops
like you know, radishes, beets, things like that. They're pretty
cold tolerant. And then you look at the greens like
cabbages and kales, collars, you know, things like that all
tolerate and some of the Asian greens as well, tolerate
cooler tempts. And I'll tell you something you might want
to take a look at, John, if they allow you
(10:35):
to do this, is take like a one inch PVC
pipe and cut it so you make hoops over the top,
so you could actually hoop it a little plastic. You
don't have to cover up the ends, but just over
the top to help hold in a little bit of
heat when it does get really cold, and it's still
vented by having the ends open. But yeah, I would
(10:55):
be looking at perennial herbs, not the annuals, but perennial herbs.
And then I'd looking at the greens, carrots, radishes, beets, turnips,
and yeah, I think that's the right direction to go.
And like this cabbage I was telling you about earlier,
it produces ahead in seventy days, so you know a
lot of those smaller heads. That's perfect for you in
(11:16):
a situation like that.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
I wonder how well and I'm going to mispronounce this masculine.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Masculine mess let us, Yeah, Oh absolutely, yeah, that's see

and he happens to be mister Gary Solomon.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Word, mister Wilson.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
You know why you and I are so healthy. Mister
Sullivan and mister Boggs speak to me because we played
in the dirt when we were kids. Oh I think
I know. Scientific research is now proving that kids kids
that play in the dirt are much more healthy, are
(15:59):
much more immune, have much better bioguts microbes than those
kids that do not. So you know, you need to
get the kids outside, Let them get their hands dirty,
play in that dirt, playing little something. Maybe dig the
trench to put that new down spout in. Yeah, whatever
(16:21):
it may be. But get some dirt on your hands.
I agree, totally, get some dirt in your mouth. Well yeah, well,
you know we all eat a little dirt every now
and then, a little bit dust comes up and stuff
like Thattely, No, they really did. They have had so
many studies now and this is the most recent when
they said one gram of soil can contain ten billion
micro organisms. Well they did this research for ten weeks.
(16:45):
Kids that were not allowed to be, you know, touching
the soil they were on like AstroTurf and all that,
versus kids that were everyday, planting seeds, digging into soil,
doing whatever. And the program not only had positive changes
in the got micro biota micro biota, yeah, but also
improved you know it. They're psychological well being. Fascinating gardening
(17:11):
right there, Ladies and gentlemen, just two of the many
benefits that home improvement cannot say.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Well, I could probably come some studies.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I'm sure you can.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
I'll start waiting for my color year something.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Oh my god, I got it last week from I
didn't No, no, I didn't get I didn't get pantones yet,
had three colors? Oh did? They haven't gotten it yet.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
I'll wait all right, they've just kind of lost its
luster to me.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Well, the garden media group that they do their garden
trends and they had I forget what they said, but
they usually kind of kick it off and I forgot
to bring that with me. So anyway, Hey, I thought
of you this week because I was, as I always do,
because you're my hero. I was in Cleveland, Ohio, and
you know you're big in Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Hey, one's great.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
I didn't say that anything. I just said because you're
and everybody I met at the trade show Big Garden show.
Uh said, Hey, you know Gary Sullivan? Hey do you
know Gary Sullivan? Is that Gary Sulimon as nice as
he seems on the radio at the convention center right
there by the stadium?
Speaker 5 (18:19):
And are you a friend of Gary Sullivan?
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Writing? Downtown? Huh?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Right? And downtown State at the Marriotte. You know, I
felt kind of dumb because we pulled in the Marriott,
I got you know, we checked and I said, how
far is the walk here to the convention Center? The
guy said, right across the street.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Oh, I'm pretty convenient. Somebody took care of me.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Folks at BFG got his book there, So here you go.
Lots of lots of things going on there. So interesting
what they have to say about pumpkins. They didn't say
anything about pumpkins.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Why I think the price of pumpkins might be high
this year? Uh?
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Not with us?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
No, No, I didn't get much water, did they?
Speaker 1 (19:00):
But you know that, you know the thing of it
is when when they got the water, they were okay
up to that point, and it could reduce the sizing
a little bit. Okay, but we're okay, we're fine. Well
you might want to do that too last year after year,
but uh, now we're in pretty good shape. And the
(19:21):
prices right now, I've been staying right about same as
last year. Maybe up just a tab, which is normal
because of tariffs and shipping.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Tariffs on pumpkins. We're getting our pumpkins from.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
China state to state tariffs.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Oh okay, yeah, yeah sure.

looking at big farm machinery. I couldn't believe it. I
had to do a shout out.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Isn't that amazing?
Speaker 5 (23:09):
It's amazing. As I was leaving the two gentlemen in
a booth that were just they're kind of out there
by themselves because they were giving out the brochures as
people entered. Don Breese and Gary Wilson both have retired
from Extension longer ago than I remembered, and they both
said ron that they wake up with us every Saturday morning.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Oh my gosh, wait, wait.
Speaker 5 (23:33):
A second, I didn't that's who that is. Yes, So
I was.

Always going to have two shirts Brenda that says I
wake up with my yard boy every Saturday morning.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
You need to do that. That is really good. That's
that's very good. Well, and Gary shared a story like
that when he used to do it. He did radio
when he was with Extension, and he said, you know
that a person in his audience said that to him,
you know, I wake up with you every Saturday morning.
And you know, I was like, wait a minute.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Wait'll I'll tell your husband, don't.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
Say anything about that. So, yes, I I like it.
I like that. That was and we'll we can hand

Now just hear me out A branch on a beach tree.
Uh huh okay, so you got the beach.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
Tree, right, I got the beach in my head.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Three three foot segments. There's two of them on this
branch and they're white. And not only did I get
a picture of this? No wait wait wait here's the key.
I got a video of this for three dollars and
fifty cents and the grand prize, buggy, Joe Boggs. What

insect was in that picture?
Speaker 5 (25:36):
Oh? Insect? Oh man? That's where I was gonna go

was thinking that. Yes, okay, we went off.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
So is that your final answer, Joe?
Speaker 5 (26:25):
No, My final answer is it's it's a horrible sounding name.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Well, I'm just it's because I was thinking of you
when I see it.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
Well, okay, the two names you got to let me
do that beach flight aphids.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Why did you throw that out there?
Speaker 5 (26:43):
Because that's their real that is exact. Yes, the boogie woogie.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Aphis there we go, buggy Joe Boggs.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Yes, sir.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
The giveaway, I.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Mean the big bucks now boys, I'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Was the video.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
Oh yeah, Oh isn't that.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
He sent me a picture and a video and said,
what in the heck am I seeing on my beach tree?
Speaker 5 (27:13):
And they seem to be pretty common this year, although
I haven't run across and I'm just so I need
to do that because I've posted on them, as you know,
and I even have a video to music posted on YouTube.
But you can never have enough, right right, my wife,
(27:33):
I was taking some pictures my long suffering family. You know,
they're tagging along and you know, in fact, in fact,
my daughter got me a T shirt that says wait,
wait a bug, because because that's what they they heard
growing up, you know, and and and more than once
(27:54):
my wife and family said, well, I thought you've taken
a lot of pictures of those, and my response is
you can ever have enough, right and this particular one,
you can never have enough. And with video that really
doesn't doesn't it. Oh goodness?
Speaker 1 (28:09):
But they had no idea. And when she's you know,
obviously said when I got close to it also to
start moving like, what in the world is this?
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Well, this is.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
Their very you know, it's we're doing an inside joke thing,
aren't we. Because I just realized, oh, you know, we
we better talk about this. Because Curtis Young, for example,
van OSU Extension van Wert County this past Tuesday, you know,
every Tuesday morning we have our gathering of different extension
folks who work with trees and shrubs, and and he
(28:39):
wild us with some really great photography. It was on
the o ISSU Mansfield campus was really a nice campus.
A lot of folks don't realize that Ohio State does
have these other campuses. But nonetheless, the OSU Mansfield campus
has a very nice woods on the property and every
(29:01):
year they can almost you can almost count all it,
which is not true all over the place. Because I
have revisited sites with American Beach and that's very important
to start with. So these are only found on American Beach,
not European beach. If you find white aphids and European beach,
they're going to be on the underside of the leaves,
(29:22):
maybe a little bit at the tips of the twigs,
and those are just called beach leaf aphids. Okay, so
they have a pretty nice name, beach leaf aped But
if it's you're looking at American Beach and you have
this these gatherings of hundreds thousands really in tight bunches,
and we call them a colony, even though that's not
(29:43):
entirely correct. You know, they're not really colonial. It's just
a grouping of these white looking insects. And if you
look very closer, they look like little cotton balls, don't
they They just but that's at the back end of
their abdomen. So you if you look real close, so
you can see that this co and balls attached to
an insect and if you do nothing, they just they're
(30:04):
just you know, moving around. But even if you just
blow on them, if you do anything disturbing, they start
wiggling that cotton ball that Q tip at their tail
end in Unison, and I thought, I've always thought that
was kind of interesting because Curtis, for example, showed a
video and I've never I've never paid attention to this,
(30:25):
and I probably saw it, but there's a whole group
of these beach blight aphids or boogie woogie aphids, because
it looks like they're dancing in Unison. There's a whole
group wiggling. There were ends, you know, in Unison, and
then there was one by itself out kind of on
leaf and Ron. It was it was, it was in
sync with the rest of them. It was wiggling next
(30:49):
neighborhoods out there, which yeah, which you know, you know, obviously,
if we could just hear aphid talk, they'd be yelling
all together now you know, you know, I'm sorry, Yeah, no,
I'd do my Richard Simmons or something like that. You know,
it's just dancing around, but it's well, that's an old
name in that Oh my gosh, well you know. I'm
(31:11):
just thinking this.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Yeah, really.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
High energy.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Tell me you worked out on TV. You worked out
in your family room on the TV watching Richard Simmons.
Speaker 5 (31:22):
I kept falling off the TV. That was a problem. Wrong.
I wanted to work out on the TV. Oh, he's
really flat screens. It just didn't work. That's why I
stopped working out.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Well, we got to take a break with ladies and gentlemen.
He won the grand prize. It is boogie woogie aphid uh.
What's the other one?
Speaker 5 (31:39):
Beach beach black white, he sounds. Yeah. They don't call
it any harm. But you will come back to some
of these things.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Yeah, yeah, okay, Well, anyway you want, I'll get your

of it?
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Bucky Joe off with it. But you know, bloods.
Speaker 5 (34:27):
Sounds like that, doesn't it. So so it's really hit
the media this past Oh.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
My gosh, you got Joe Strecker. Joe Strucker was on
his soapbox last week about that. He's like, oh my god,
you've got to be kidding me.
Speaker 5 (34:43):
Well, you know, it's something, it's something. So so what
we're talking about. If you go to our b y
g L, I mean, if you just even just google
b yg L or whatever search engine you use that
stands for Buckeye Yard and Garden Online, but byg you'll
see the postings and and it's, uh, you know, you
(35:03):
and I have talked about this just about this time
every year we do have in Ohio. So if you're
talking the you know, Ohio, if you're talking Maryland, uh,
in this in this belt, in this eastern area, and
we do have a native kissing bug, and it's called
a bloodsucking tone. Those sounds terrible. It focuses its attention
(35:26):
though on animals, on small animals, even where it exists
all the way down in Central and South America, same species,
but it is it doesn't come after people quite as
much as the other kissing bugs. And people are probably wondering, what, well,
what the what's wrong with the kissing bug? Well, there is.
(35:47):
These bugs can carry a protozoan, a little tiny worm
like critter that that can infect people and lead to
a disease, a disease called Schegi's disease at agus Schegi's disease,
which is which is a serious disease. But we've never
(36:10):
seen that occur in Ohio where a kissing bug has
bitten a person, they've contracted Schega's disease. It has occurred
in Texas and some southern states. And kissing bugs are
a real problem in Central and South America quite frankly,
where many of the species, and there's more than one,
many of the species behave a little bit like bedbugs.
(36:31):
They come into homes and they exist in large numbers
in homes. So and then of course you have people
who who are infected and have Shegi's disease. They get
bitten by kissing bug, and then that bug goes and
bites somebody else. And you see what I'm driving at.
It does spread the disease, but not in Ohio. However,
(36:53):
as a result of year after year, because every year
we talk about them, don't we run.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
That's what your record was all fired up, I said,
you know, you can't count on buggy Joe to do yourself.
Speaker 5 (37:04):
Well, yeah, it's a it's a very strange thing because
you go back and look at past writings. I think
I think this is one of those you know, good
or bad. With the web, you know, people can find
information now like they never could in the past. So
(37:24):
someone finds an insect, you know, you know, walking around
they've never seen before, they're fairly big, and then they
go on the web and and even I hate to
say I've been told this, I've never tried them out.
Even some of the identification apps on phones for other
insects can take you to kissing bugs. So so it's
(37:44):
a bit of a problem. And we don't know. I mean,
on one hand, are we seeing more or is it
just that people are able to get you know, uh,
information easier, and I think.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
It's yeah, I agree with that.
Speaker 5 (38:02):
Yeah, I think that's it. But here's the real problem.
Then we have all these lookalikes. So the big one
is a wheelbug. Got actually a little bit bigger. And
in fact, yesterday during the is a field day, a
wheelbug was found and we all looked at it, and
you know, I can kind of see why people kind
you know, they have kind of stilt like legs, just
(38:24):
like kissing bugs, kind of elongated.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Bodies trying to kiss me.
Speaker 5 (38:31):
Well attack, I tell you, even I want, well, I
won't handle wheelbugs. They are good bugs. They are predators.
They have. All these bugs, including kissing bugs, are in
a family that we call assassin bugs, and so wheelbugs,
as their name implies, they kill things. They kill other insects.
(38:51):
They use this pierce they're piercing, sucking mouth parts to
inject enzymes and then does all the innards of their
prey and then suck it up for food. But if
you mishandle these, which I'm not, we often say that mishandled, well, yeah,
I mean, if you squeeze on them, they can bite you.
That's the main point. They won't come after you and
(39:12):
bite you, but wheelbugs can deliver pretty painful bite. So
people have been bitten by wheelbugs, and of course they
look at it, and even I probably would make a
little noise if one of them landed on me. But
the point being, is there a bunch of look like?
So I posted on Tuesday about kissing bugs, and Ron,
(39:34):
oh my goodness, I started getting pictures of everything but
kissing bugs. And again, you know, you know, we want
folks to take a really good look at what they're
thinking is a kissing bug, because we really do want
to know, you know, about them. I've been keeping track
of where they're being found in Ohio, and one thing
(39:58):
that's pretty consistent. If they're in or around the home. First,
you don't have a bunch of them. You only have
maybe one or two at most, very often in a garage.
But usually that home is surrounded by woods, maybe in
the woods, or has very close at hand. You know
what we'd call naturalized area. That's nice. Growing up in
(40:20):
West Virginia, I wish we'd have known that because all
these fields that we let go, we could have just
called them naturalized areas, right, Yeah, it would have sounded better. Yeah, yeah,
but what else do you find in naturalized areas and
in the woods you find mice, ratoons, you find a
lot of animals, and that's what the blood sucking tone
nose goes after. Now, they do suck blood from these
(40:45):
other animals. And if you're in close, if they're in
close proximity or home, yes, occasionally they will wander in.
And that's why we want to kind of know about this.
Is there a consistency with location, you know, the different
counties they do seem to be more often found in
(41:05):
southern Ohio, the southern part of the state, or the
paper written in nineteen sixty that said, you know, this
kissing bug is endemic, meaning it you know, it's native
too southern Ohio. So it's been with us forever apparently,
and it's not unexpected to find them. But let's all
(41:27):
pay closed attention to exactly what we're seeing. So I
posted yesterday or no day before yesterday Thursday, a follow
up showing the look alikes. And I got to tell you,
based on what my wife found on the front porch,
I'm going to have to add another one. And I
want to add the one that with a squashed pine bug. Yes,
(41:50):
it looks a little bit like it.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
Yeah, I loved it. On the sixteenth we get the
Ohio kissing bug conundrum, and then on the eighteenth quick
follow up. Look closely, there are a lot of look alike.
That's so take your Scheghi's disease, you bloodsucking coos and
get out of here.
Speaker 5 (42:06):
I will, I will, I'm gonna go dance with the
aphis there you.
Speaker 1 (42:09):

Saturday off because the Bucks don't play today.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
