Ladies and gentlemen. He doesn't use a mask for Halloween, No,
(00:54):
not in at all. He just opens the door and
his kids run and scared.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
You didn't even laugh, the one the only oh I.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Didn't know I was on yet I'm on on.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Yeah, all right, how was Halloween for you?
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Oh fantastic? Man. I made out like a bandit. You know,
people were just throwing uh, you know, just throwing candy
at me. Just get me off the porch.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
So the and they throw their candy at you.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
They just oh yeah, knock on the door and give
one of his crazy laughs, and they just know. I
didn't even need to do that, you know. And I
noticed that back. You know, my kids are all grown.
I have you know, I have two grand children now
that they're down in Louisville, So I, uh, I got
to sneak down there next year and help them out,
because that's what I noticed when I was taking the
kids around. And you know that they seem to do
(01:52):
much better, you know, if I if I stepped up
on the porch with them, right. You know that I'm
making all that up. But I heard you and Gary talking,
and it does seem there were not many porch lights
on in my particular neighborhood, a lot less than before.
And I just seemed like a lot less trick or treating.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Yeah, I don't know, is it is it fading away?
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Well, you know my wife pointed something out that I
don't like to admit, and I have a feeling you
don't either, And she said, well, you know, the kids
in the neighborhood have largely grown up.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah, but but yeah, you know, but true. But again,
you know, even the neighborhoods that have younger kids. You know,
at work, we're saying they didn't have as many kids
as they normally do. And of course we have a
little bit of misty rain in that kind I realize
that holds them back.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Well, yeah, but I just as.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Many porch lights on me as you're driving around. I
just didn't seem like, you know, a lot of decorations.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Oh my goodness. Yeah, that's what's interesting to me is
that it seems like, I mean, you go down some
neighbor I was on the neighborhood street a week or
so ago, going out to take a look at something.
And I need to explain that that kind of came
out so any right, So what I was going to
(03:19):
take a look at was some aphids and willows, and
then I will talk about that, and then I I
thanks to today and I got to say his name
because he works for Great Parks of Hamla County and
and Dave Raybender sent me some pictures of giant willow
aphids and a bold faced hornets nest. It was only
(03:42):
like a foot off the ground.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Yeah, well, but I was I had another email about
giant will well, I didn't know they were giant willow
a fids. And that's what I was going to look
at last week. And as I was driving to the
neighborhood to get to be you know, to do what
you and I, you know, call sight and visit, you know,
just to take a look at this tree, I was amazed.
(04:07):
It was almost like Halloween was rivaling Christmas with decorations.
You know, in this one particular area, they're almost every
house had something. And you know that's that wasn't kind
of that way. Uh yeah. We would have pumpkins out right.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah yeah, yeah, pumpkins and light them up and that
was you know, that was it. That was about it.
I didn't I don't want to be like that's the
way we used to do it kind of a thing.
But you know, it's it's it's fun and it's amazing
what people do put in their yards now with those
ten foot skeletons and all I don't get that. But
(04:45):
oh my goodness, all of those things, but I don't know,
it just doesn't seem like the trigger treat thing. And
I don't know. The candies available readily available, you don't
have to really work for it anymore. Again, I sound
like my grandfather.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Oh man, was people just tuned in. I had a
couple of crimagions on, you know, like on the Muppets.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
That would be, that would be, we'd have to be
more Gary Sullivan's age to qualify for this.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
And you know, I was hearing you guys talking about
about the so called so called normal time when it
gets dark like at two in the afternoon, you know,
And that's uh, you know, And I've noticed something because
you know, older people tend to go to bed earlier,
so they are usually the ones that like normal time.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Well there you go. So Joe Boggs, mister sleep in late,
and we actually get him out of bed to do
this segment.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Oh man, you gotta are circling around. I do like
daylight saving you go out, Well, it's photography. Ye yes,
this time of the year. I wasn't going to skin Well,
I know you knew a lot.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I know I knew they were I know ikne Hey.
By the way, a good friend Mary see over in
the Cole Rain area, send me an email, you remember me,
and send me an email this past week and said,
just want to let you know that, uh, stink bugs
are extremely bad here right now. And she said the
(06:27):
lady bugs, Asian lady beatles are also unbelievable right now.
So because we were talking about you know, I haven't
seen her, and she said, they're just unindaated with them.
So there you go.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
It always it has always amazed me. And I don't
think I've looked. I don't believe. I don't believe there's
been a lot of work, a lot of research done
on this, you know how you know, what are all
the population drivers, you know, for these these home invaders.
Remember I said that I didn't even see, you know,
(07:01):
really good research on what would drive box seller bugs
to start moving. Now we do know there's been good
research done on Asian lady beetles. In fact fact, well
that a connection to soybean is great, Yeah, it's that's
been noted. But also that this rise in temperature and
(07:21):
then falling temperature then rise again, that roller coaster that's
been documented. But you know, in terms of okay, why
can you have a real challenge in one spot and
go a few miles down the road you don't see
any You know that. That's what I'm talking about when
I say highly You know, when I'm writing these legal alerts,
(07:44):
and I often use the phrase highly localized, I use
the phrase localized meaning Okay, it might be in in Cincinnati,
it's not in Columbus. Right. When I say highly localized,
I'm intending to mean, you know, just one part of Cincinnati.
(08:05):
And we've seen that with these these home invaders. You know,
sometimes it's pretty obvious. Ron for example, the western conifer
seed bug. Well, you know, if somebody has a lot
of mature conifers, particularly white pine and used to be
Austrian pine, we had a lot more of those. But
if you had a lot of conifers or jackpine in
(08:28):
our area, right, because we're going to have that, then okay,
you're more likely to have those insects near near your home.
There was a site visit I made a few years ago.
We talked about on the radio where a person had
They were beautiful. They had Norway's you know, all the
way around the back and in part of the sides
(08:50):
of their of their of their property, and it was
a windbreak. That was the idea and it worked well.
U Plus you know they they had a well spaced
and that that's something that is extremely important because you
get conifers too close together no matter almost no matter
what arborbody can grow pretty close together. But you put
(09:13):
spruce very close together, and what happens you and I've
seen it all the time. You start, Yeah, they start
shading the lower branches that they just start and you know,
pretty soon you can see through, you can see your neighbor.
And if your plan them so you wouldn't, well you
lost that screening. But these were properly spaced. They were
beautiful and they were probably going to be good for
(09:35):
a lot of a lot more years. But some are
producing some pretty heavy cones. They matured. And the reason
I made the visit was I'd really never seen I mean,
you know, the western coniferce seed budg bug, which I
wish we wouldn't call it western because we have a
lot of them, but they were all over the place
(09:56):
because of the cones. So again, you know, sometimes it's
explain just by things like that. And I think we
have a break.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Listen to you taking your own break.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Listen. I tell you we don't have to breathe at
some point.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
But think about this during the break. Danny Gleason has
never had apple butter in his life.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
I know I have an apple butter story.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Oh man, We'll take a break and we'll learn more
about Joe's way too much of a joke, uh, and
a whole lot more after the break. Here in the

Welcome back, You're in the garden with Ryan Ron Wilson.
Time for Part two of the Buggy Joe Boggs Report.
(12:28):
By the way, apple butter apple butter originated in Germany
Belgium area and was brought to the Appalasia by the
Pennsylvania Dutch.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
I didn't know that, and the rest is history. What
I hear is the thing. So if Andy's never had,
if he's never had apple butter, then we gotta we
got to start him off with good apple butter.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Well, there's a there's a recipe on our website this
week from Rita. It's called mister Wilson's Apple Butter. I have.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Well, I have to look at it. I have to
see what because I was the chief stir for our
family apple butter ritual. Every year we made that. We
had a big copper kettle over an open fire, and
I don't even recall the number of quarts of apple
butter that we would that we would make. And of
course true apple butter of ficionados will tell you that
(13:27):
you have kind of different types of apple butter. It is.
Of course, some of that's based on apples, because this
was in Clay County, West Virginia, home of the Golden
Delicious Apple Festival. So you probably guess what was a
dominant apple in in our apple butter. We're Golden Delicious
(13:49):
apples and they've got they have a very high sugar content,
very sweet. But at the end of the day, though,
what did you flavor it with? And you had you
had the sin group, you had the clothes group, and
then you had the straight We don't want a lot
more than just apple group. I was kind of in
(14:09):
the apple group, to be honest. I cinnamon. I love cinnamon,
and a little touch of cinnamon was not too much.
The clothes could cause my mouth to go to sleep. Well,
now that's so, here is the thing, and we're just
gonna have to hop in the car and do a
(14:30):
road trip or a person could probably get this in another way.
But my wife and I came across the best apple
butter that I have had since since we made it
from scratch. From what it could be, I suppose, but
I will tell you that my wife and I were
down in pitcheon Forde thenness, Remember we had we talked
(14:53):
about it. We're on vacation Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and we
were looking for a spot to eat. And you know,
normally I can't mention things because you know, extensions tax supported,
so we don't. But I'm not mentioning this because you know,
I'm I have a say. Except the Apple Barn, I'm
(15:14):
just sat. Oh you know it? Then I didn't. I
knew nothing about it. It has the best apple butter.
And here is something that I'm gonna I'm going to
put this out there, and so apple butter fisionados those
that make and consume apple butter. And now I have
(15:34):
to look at Rita's recipe vinegar. How many put how
many people put vinegar in their apple butter recipe?
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Just the Bog's family and Apple Barn and apple Barn.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Yeah, that was really interesting. My wife was looking at
the ingredients and see what is vinegar? I guess, well,
I you know, it was really interesting. We you know,
I recipe was I was just passed down. Seriously, I
mean it was you know, my mom and dad, grandmother
(16:09):
and grandfather, you know, everybody's involved, and this is just
how they made it for generations. And at some point
there was there was, It wasn't at the beginning. At
some point, and I don't remember the ratio I wish
I did. I couldn't give you the recipe right now because,
like I said, I was just a stir big wooden paddle.
(16:32):
But at some point we would add in the vinegar
and and my dad started wondering, well, you know, what
would happen if we didn't, So we took off a
portion of the batch. Now, granted this is a little
bit of a test, you know. That wasn't done just
like the rest of it over the open fire, but
(16:52):
we brought it inside, continuing cooking on the stow. Without
the vinegar and ron. You could I mean you couldn't
place what was missing or what was in the recipe,
but you could definitely tell the their difference. Yeah, and
it wasn't a lot, but I would be you know,
i'd be very interested with the folks of the apple barn.
(17:14):
Where did they because that vinegar idea you've very you know,
and now I've been I've been looking into it. Yeah,
it's it's a asque other people who grew up, you know,
making apple butter, same thing, and so boy, it does
make a difference, not a lot. I will tell you that.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
By the way, I didn't finish that paragraph. I was
reading about the appellation that and the Dutch and all itself.
I'm sorry, Oh no, no, yeah, I was done until
you started saying this. But the last paragraph says in
the American South, apple butter production is often a family
event because of the amount of labor required. Oh yeah, see,
(17:55):
I used to see that Bog's family from West Virginia.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
Oh there you go. I mean, I'm sure it was.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
You know it was. It's often the family event because
the amount of labor required. Put in the camera, soa
I saw it.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I will tell you it was almost
like a family reunion, you know, because uh, it does
take a lot of work, you know, getting the apples.
We had a we had kind of a small orchard ourselves,
and then we would go to another orchard. Uh. In fact,
it was the orchard where the Golden Delicious apple was
(18:31):
first discovered. And I talked about that. That is a
The golden Delicious apple was not something that was that
was bread. It wasn't something selected, you know, you know,
crossing between different It was. It was a wild well,
I should say that I'm being very careful, but it
was a naturally occurring mutation obviously.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
So when you when you're cutting up those apples, if
there happened to be a worm in there or half
a worm in that cut, did you just make it?
Dan wants to know why they call it apple butter.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Well, it's kind of I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
That's because of the consistency.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
It is because of the consistency, and you.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Don't need butter when you put that on whatever you're
putting it on.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Well, and also the constant kind of stirring as you're
making it. I mean, it does have, like you say,
a butter consistency. Oh man, that's like I do like
butter on it too, Oh I do. Oh my goodness,
fresh cat heads.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Open that up.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
And warm you know, you know what.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Apple butter. I would have one with apple butter, and
I would have one with sorghum.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
Oh good, molasses. Now there is another discussion. Sorghum or
or molasses is a good you know, I think I
agree with you because we can gross sorgan. I mean,
you know, I grew up thinking, I mean I thought
(20:10):
we were growing sugarcane and it wasn't true. I mean,
obviously it West Virginia, you couldn't. But uh but yeah
we could grow sorgan and and there was that's another story.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Buck weed hanted. Buckweed hunting takes just like sorghum.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Okay, now that I'm starving Joe Loggs this morning. That
was the funniest segment. I enjoyed it. Now I'm starving
to death.

I know you knew a lot.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I know I knew they were I know ikne Hey.
By the way, a good friend Mary see over in
the Cole Rain area, send me an email, you remember me,
and send me an email this past week and said,
just want to let you know that, uh, stink bugs
are extremely bad here right now. And she said the
(06:27):
lady bugs, Asian lady beatles are also unbelievable right now.
So because we were talking about you know, I haven't
seen her, and she said, they're just unindaated with them.
So there you go.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
It always it has always amazed me. And I don't
think I've looked. I don't believe. I don't believe there's
been a lot of work, a lot of research done
on this, you know how you know, what are all
the population drivers, you know, for these these home invaders.
Remember I said that I didn't even see, you know,
(07:01):
really good research on what would drive box seller bugs
to start moving. Now we do know there's been good
research done on Asian lady beetles. In fact fact, well
that a connection to soybean is great, Yeah, it's that's
been noted. But also that this rise in temperature and
(07:21):
then falling temperature then rise again, that roller coaster that's
been documented. But you know, in terms of okay, why
can you have a real challenge in one spot and
go a few miles down the road you don't see
any You know that. That's what I'm talking about when
I say highly You know, when I'm writing these legal alerts,
(07:44):
and I often use the phrase highly localized, I use
the phrase localized meaning Okay, it might be in in Cincinnati,
it's not in Columbus. Right. When I say highly localized,
I'm intending to mean, you know, just one part of Cincinnati.
(08:05):
And we've seen that with these these home invaders. You know,
sometimes it's pretty obvious. Ron for example, the western conifer
seed bug. Well, you know, if somebody has a lot
of mature conifers, particularly white pine and used to be
Austrian pine, we had a lot more of those. But
if you had a lot of conifers or jackpine in
(08:28):
our area, right, because we're going to have that, then okay,
you're more likely to have those insects near near your home.
There was a site visit I made a few years ago.
We talked about on the radio where a person had
They were beautiful. They had Norway's you know, all the
way around the back and in part of the sides
(08:50):
of their of their of their property, and it was
a windbreak. That was the idea and it worked well.
U Plus you know they they had a well spaced
and that that's something that is extremely important because you
get conifers too close together no matter almost no matter
what arborbody can grow pretty close together. But you put
(09:13):
spruce very close together, and what happens you and I've
seen it all the time. You start, Yeah, they start
shading the lower branches that they just start and you know,
pretty soon you can see through, you can see your neighbor.
And if your plan them so you wouldn't, well you
lost that screening. But these were properly spaced. They were
beautiful and they were probably going to be good for
(09:35):
a lot of a lot more years. But some are
producing some pretty heavy cones. They matured. And the reason
I made the visit was I'd really never seen I mean,
you know, the western coniferce seed budg bug, which I
wish we wouldn't call it western because we have a
lot of them, but they were all over the place
(09:56):
because of the cones. So again, you know, sometimes it's
explain just by things like that. And I think we
have a break.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Listen to you taking your own break.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Listen. I tell you we don't have to breathe at
some point.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
But think about this during the break. Danny Gleason has
never had apple butter in his life.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
I know I have an apple butter story.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Oh man, We'll take a break and we'll learn more
about Joe's way too much of a joke, uh, and
a whole lot more after the break. Here in the

Time for Part two of the Buggy Joe Boggs Report.
(12:28):
By the way, apple butter apple butter originated in Germany
Belgium area and was brought to the Appalasia by the
Pennsylvania Dutch.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
I didn't know that, and the rest is history. What
I hear is the thing. So if Andy's never had,
if he's never had apple butter, then we gotta we
got to start him off with good apple butter.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Well, there's a there's a recipe on our website this
week from Rita. It's called mister Wilson's Apple Butter. I have.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Well, I have to look at it. I have to
see what because I was the chief stir for our
family apple butter ritual. Every year we made that. We
had a big copper kettle over an open fire, and
I don't even recall the number of quarts of apple
butter that we would that we would make. And of
course true apple butter of ficionados will tell you that
(13:27):
you have kind of different types of apple butter. It is.
Of course, some of that's based on apples, because this
was in Clay County, West Virginia, home of the Golden
Delicious Apple Festival. So you probably guess what was a
dominant apple in in our apple butter. We're Golden Delicious
(13:49):
apples and they've got they have a very high sugar content,
very sweet. But at the end of the day, though,
what did you flavor it with? And you had you
had the sin group, you had the clothes group, and
then you had the straight We don't want a lot
more than just apple group. I was kind of in
(14:09):
the apple group, to be honest. I cinnamon. I love cinnamon,
and a little touch of cinnamon was not too much.
The clothes could cause my mouth to go to sleep. Well,
now that's so, here is the thing, and we're just
gonna have to hop in the car and do a
(14:30):
road trip or a person could probably get this in another way.
But my wife and I came across the best apple
butter that I have had since since we made it
from scratch. From what it could be, I suppose, but
I will tell you that my wife and I were
down in pitcheon Forde thenness, Remember we had we talked
(14:53):
about it. We're on vacation Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and we
were looking for a spot to eat. And you know,
normally I can't mention things because you know, extensions tax supported,
so we don't. But I'm not mentioning this because you know,
I'm I have a say. Except the Apple Barn, I'm
(15:14):
just sat. Oh you know it? Then I didn't. I
knew nothing about it. It has the best apple butter.
And here is something that I'm gonna I'm going to
put this out there, and so apple butter fisionados those
that make and consume apple butter. And now I have
(15:34):
to look at Rita's recipe vinegar. How many put how
many people put vinegar in their apple butter recipe?
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Just the Bog's family and Apple Barn and apple Barn.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Yeah, that was really interesting. My wife was looking at
the ingredients and see what is vinegar? I guess, well,
I you know, it was really interesting. We you know,
I recipe was I was just passed down. Seriously, I
mean it was you know, my mom and dad, grandmother
(16:09):
and grandfather, you know, everybody's involved, and this is just
how they made it for generations. And at some point
there was there was, It wasn't at the beginning. At
some point, and I don't remember the ratio I wish
I did. I couldn't give you the recipe right now because,
like I said, I was just a stir big wooden paddle.
(16:32):
But at some point we would add in the vinegar
and and my dad started wondering, well, you know, what
would happen if we didn't, So we took off a
portion of the batch. Now, granted this is a little
bit of a test, you know. That wasn't done just
like the rest of it over the open fire, but
(16:52):
we brought it inside, continuing cooking on the stow. Without
the vinegar and ron. You could I mean you couldn't
place what was missing or what was in the recipe,
but you could definitely tell the their difference. Yeah, and
it wasn't a lot, but I would be you know,
i'd be very interested with the folks of the apple barn.
(17:14):
Where did they because that vinegar idea you've very you know,
and now I've been I've been looking into it. Yeah,
it's it's a asque other people who grew up, you know,
making apple butter, same thing, and so boy, it does
make a difference, not a lot. I will tell you that.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
By the way, I didn't finish that paragraph. I was
reading about the appellation that and the Dutch and all itself.
I'm sorry, Oh no, no, yeah, I was done until
you started saying this. But the last paragraph says in
the American South, apple butter production is often a family
event because of the amount of labor required. Oh yeah, see,
(17:55):
I used to see that Bog's family from West Virginia.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
Oh there you go. I mean, I'm sure it was.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
You know it was. It's often the family event because
the amount of labor required. Put in the camera, soa
I saw it.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I will tell you it was almost
like a family reunion, you know, because uh, it does
take a lot of work, you know, getting the apples.
We had a we had kind of a small orchard ourselves,
and then we would go to another orchard. Uh. In fact,
it was the orchard where the Golden Delicious apple was
(18:31):
first discovered. And I talked about that. That is a
The golden Delicious apple was not something that was that
was bread. It wasn't something selected, you know, you know,
crossing between different It was. It was a wild well,
I should say that I'm being very careful, but it
was a naturally occurring mutation obviously.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
So when you when you're cutting up those apples, if
there happened to be a worm in there or half
a worm in that cut, did you just make it?
Dan wants to know why they call it apple butter.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Well, it's kind of I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
That's because of the consistency.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
It is because of the consistency, and you.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Don't need butter when you put that on whatever you're
putting it on.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Well, and also the constant kind of stirring as you're
making it. I mean, it does have, like you say,
a butter consistency. Oh man, that's like I do like
butter on it too, Oh I do. Oh my goodness,
fresh cat heads.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Open that up.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
And warm you know, you know what.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Apple butter. I would have one with apple butter, and
I would have one with sorghum.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
Oh good, molasses. Now there is another discussion. Sorghum or
or molasses is a good you know, I think I
agree with you because we can gross sorgan. I mean,
you know, I grew up thinking, I mean I thought
(20:10):
we were growing sugarcane and it wasn't true. I mean,
obviously it West Virginia, you couldn't. But uh but yeah
we could grow sorgan and and there was that's another story.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Buck weed hanted. Buckweed hunting takes just like sorghum.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Okay, now that I'm starving Joe Loggs this morning. That
was the funniest segment. I enjoyed it. Now I'm starving
