Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back here to the guide with Ron Wilson at
his time for Buggy Joe Boggs, your propos of Joe Bobs.
This is a professor, commercial, ordentitator. When you laugh at
me at the Ohiose State University Extension, I know it's
your Department of Entomology, the co creator of Matha Coffee

Ladies and gentlemen, mister common Sensikal himself Buggy Joe Boggs,
and today and today and today I'm gonna call you
Joey Maximilian.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Oh are they? Are they blooming big, big time?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
I hope there was Johnny Appleseed who went around the world.
The guy was kind of weird from what I understand.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
It's true, uh I went around the.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
United States planning apple seeds everywhere he could plan apple seeds. Well,
Buggy Joe Bogs went around the local neighborhood and planted
Maximilian sunflower seeds. And his Maximilian sunflower seeds have just
taken off like crazy at the Voice of America Parks
and wow are they in color right now?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Well there you go there, now that is I mean,
you know, the whole story on that. They did a
really yeah, a really nice job with a prairie blend there.
I actually I actually have some Voice in America the listeners.
If you're growing up seventy five, I'll tell you that the
Maximilian bloom is worth getting off when it's good though,
(01:42):
But you know that plant does require a little more
moisture than what you would think for prairie plant. But
that's the whole story. So they put in this nice
prairie blend mix of seed, and over time, you know,
I kept noticing a little more maximilion, a little more maximilion,
(02:03):
and uh and I just kind of fell in love
with a balloom. I mean, it is a gorgeous yeah,
gold and yellow. It's just oh my goodness. And so
I wrote a big alert about this several years ago,
and it was it was it was the plant of
the week, you know, for a big old and just
(02:23):
extole this virtues and posted that, you know, like at
ten o'clock in the morning or something like that. And
and then I immediately got this email from a naturalist
over you know, with odn R Ohio Department Natural Resources, said, well,
that's not a really good plant for for Ohio. Yes,
(02:45):
it's native to the United States prairie region, which you know,
this goes back to this whole thing. You and I've
talked many times about, you know, native to where, and
I in the back actually I called the guy a
really interesting fellow, and and he said that that in
the prairie areas of the United States where this is native,
they don't get a lot of rain and necessarily dry
(03:07):
adapted plants, but if you put it in a rainy
area like Ohio, it is extremely aggressive. And so you know,
the whole story there that oh, this thing really took
over things. It wasn't intended. But now the display is
uh is tremendous, and that.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Though the whole corner. Oh oh yes, you know in
the soccer fields they put that path walk path and
the and the and the fencing, and you kind of
didn't see him for the last couple not too much
over the last couple of years, I kind of you know,
but man, did they kick back in this year. They
(03:51):
I mean, they are so tall, they're hanging out over
the walkway.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Oh, I got it, beautiful. That's going to have to well.
So the rest the story was after I talked with
him on the phones at ten o'clock or thereabout Maximilian
sunflowers plan of the week, and then I think at
three o'clock I posted maximillion sunflowers Weed of the week.
So it was you know again too, you know, one
(04:17):
person's weed, you know as another person's wildflower. You've heard that.
Who said that? But but it is true? It is,
it is true. Well, well that's fantastic. So I was
concerned about this year because of our mini drafts. You know,
last year it looks great. Yeah, yeah, last year it
really got suppressed. Yeah, and and but this year, okay,
(04:40):
I'm going to have to Well, I've been out of
the I've been out of the country. There you go,
and I still have vacation fog. I mean we traveled
far on we it was, I gotta say for this
this year's vacation. We I mean the ends of the
earth maybe could be. We we vacation in Brown County State Park, Indiana.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I love Brown County.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Is Nashville, Nashville, Indiana.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Yeah, did you wave as you went through my hometown.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
We did good. We actually came out that way.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Did you stop and take a picture of the tree?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
I have too many? Okay, there you go, I have
too many. You better tell people what I mean. We're
speaking shorthand here.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Indiana, Greensburg, Indiana. Alme of three things. Tree in a
courthouse growing out of the roof of the courthouse. And
W root beer.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Oh I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Oh yeah, thatt beer stands been there forever, and an
W root beer And the yard boy.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Well there you go. Now, why is the yard boy
boy not on home move signs?
Speaker 3 (05:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
We need we need to work on that. And and
and there's a connection. I mean the yard boy. You know,
I don't know how in the world you planted that tree.
How did that in that tower?
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I don't know? But you know where he gets his
water from the springs in the clock?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Oh? No, gee? Yeah, you know serious?
Speaker 1 (06:22):
You know what great, great story I had, Both of
our both of our daughters. You know, we still go
back and visit Greensburg, both of our daughters standing we're
standing in the courthouse square there downtown Greensburg, looking up
at the tree on the top, and I said, you know,
there's an old story, you old joke here that used
to always tell about, you know, where it gets its
water from the springs in the clock. And this guy
(06:43):
walked up, seriously, couldn't have been better timing. So now
you all doing pretty good, you know, and enjoying our
tree up there. Oh yeah, it's pretty neat. And he said, girls,
you know how that gets its water? Megan said, from
the springs in the clock. Just kind of uh, you must, you.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Know, seriously, the whole story. And this I find this
interesting because you know, construction today. I'm sure Gary you know,
is well aware of, you know, changes in construction. But
my understanding is this, and I've read it, you know
enough now and in places where okay, it must there
(07:27):
must be some validity to it. But but whenever they
were trying, whenever they were putting you know, those that
kind of steeply slanted roof on top of that power,
they would they would often use soil as the support underneath,
with the idea of them taking it out. So they
would use soil, you know, to uh to keep whatever
(07:47):
structure it is as they're building it. And uh, and
that's what they did and apparently there there was in
their a seed of a tree that my understanding though
this is the same. Is that right?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Well see they yeah, I think so.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
I think so, but I'm not. I don't think it.
And currently it's listed as a mulberry, which they probably
didn't need to plant that right one time. Aspen, Yeah,
it was, it was. Indeed, it was definitely an aspen.
And then and if you if you zoom in on that,
(08:27):
you know when it has leaves. That told me because
it's like, well, I need a new tree identification class
because I'm not getting the aspen out of that one.
And well it just it just it's but we need
to add more landscaping. I've been kind of I've been
(08:48):
voicing that opinion for quite a few years. Shrubs.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
That whole courthouse, that whole court area was all trees
at one time. So when you pulled in downtown Greensburg,
you could barely see the courthouse in the middle of
all and it was it was like a park. And
it got to where somebody complained about too many birds
hanging out in the trees all the time. Oh no, yep,
And next thing you knew, they took they took them
(09:12):
all down.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I never knew that story.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
That day, that thing was totally you could barely see
the courthouse because there was trees in all all around
the whole thing. And yeah, somebody that happened after we
left there, But yeah, somebody got the bright idea to
just just take them all down. And I think they
planted Linden's or something around it, or there's some.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Other smaller Yeah, yeah, they lost it. Well, that that
is really because I've taken a lot of shots of
the surrounding of the whole court house, and that really
is interesting because I I kind of always wondered why
there aren't I just assumed, you know, maybe there was
some big renovation that occurred.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
You know, they did, they renovated the courthouse, but they
took the trees down as well.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
So let's hope that that same thinking doesn't apply to
the rest of Indian all Right.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Really, I tell you crazy. All Right, we're going to
take a break. We're talking about Joey Maximilian. That would

You're in the garden with Ron Wilson. Special guest this morning,
Bucky Joe Box with the Buggy Joe Box Support OSUE
Extension b y G L dot O SU dot E du. Now,
did you have lots of things you want to talk about?
Because I have a couple more.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Things, just a couple things. But I but what do
you have?
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Let's I have a special jar of honey for you. Oh,
always smoky flavored.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Dark hoored and smoky flavored. Boy, could that be uh
not from spotted lantern fly? Is it?
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I can't wait to get that to you, to see
the buggets your bogs actually eat honey made from spotted
lantern fly poop?
Speaker 2 (12:22):
You know I actually have. I've tasted that and you
know if you don't, then no, no, no, I.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Oh god, let's go on to the next time.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
I have to see if where was it made. That's
a very good question. I when I asked.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Nina Bagley and German Village, Columbus.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
We'll see there you go. So, so what I had
came from Philadelphia, and I'm quite certain it's probably different,
so I have to check that out, you know, I
really all right, all right, well you're pretty impressed that
I got that.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Right, Yeah, I am as a matter of fact, and
think about it. I sent you a test about it.
But you didn't respond that that's okay.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Oh I didn't see that. You never vacation.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Yes, anyway, young man said that back in late August,
early September. When they sit on their deck, the tiny
black bugs land on my arms and legs. They can
bite smaller than that's come in through the screen. What
are those.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Well, that's they're they're probably and there's a whole group
of insects, uh that that we have to think about
with that, you know, bigger and this isn't what they are.
But you know, we do have in in let's just
say our listening area, which is quite quite large, right,
(13:52):
we do have black flies. Now they're more gnatlike, they're
not tiny, they don't get through screens, but they are
vicious biters. But the connection to this, you know, black
flies are kind of moving in the direction of a
group of flies that we typically just called midge flies.
They're not exactly the same obviously, But then we have this.
(14:15):
Within midge flies, we have a group called the biting midges,
and they can be they could be a real challenge.
They like to have kind of moist soil. The larvae
develop in moist soil, whereas blackfly larvae develop in running water.
In water. And so if you're in an area where
(14:37):
you know you're surrounded by kind of poor drainage or
which let's face it, that's that's a lot of our area, right,
you can have you can have you know, the rise
of these biting midges, and that describes it perfectly. But
of course it's exactly the same thing that will dissuade
mosquitoes will dissuade the biting midges. So that's kind of
(14:57):
good news, because you know, we mosquitoes are all right
type of flyers. Sometimes we forget that, but I would
say that's probably what it is.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
What a great name for a sporting team. Ladies and gentlemen,
here are your biting midges.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
I think. So that's exactly right. I mean, vicious, little
vicious things that would be the right underneath. So I
have to share.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Get the last four minutes.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Okay, last four minutes. So my wife came across a plaque.
We were staying. It's called the Aide Martin Lodge there
the Brown County State Park, which is really a neat place.
It's just a fantastic place. And so in one of
the hallways she was just out, you know, we were
both just kind of going around and looking at different things.
It's fascinating lodge, there was this display on yellowwood. Now
(15:47):
you I didn't know this. In fact, I talked to
our good friend Steve Foltz, you know, director of horticulture
to Cincinnati Botanical Garden. You're a good friends, yes, and Steve,
Steve wasn't aware of this either. I didn't know this,
(16:08):
But there are native there are yellow woods native too
to that part of Indiana. In fact, if you look
at the map, it's called Yellowood State Forest, and you
know there's a whole thing there about. And I didn't
know this that the yellow came from a yellowish stain
that's extracted from the from the wood used to sustain
(16:31):
different things including clothing. I did not know that. But
yellow woods in the Yellowood State Forest. That's going to
be a road trip. We've already decided we've got to
go over and see it. And if you go to
Eye Naturalists and look in that area and then click
on the you know, the reports. You can see images
that I have to say, right there, pretty good size,
(16:52):
pretty good sized trees. Yeah, so I never knew that,
never knew you. Of course, yellow woods are native different
parts of the United States, mostly central and you know Tennessee, Kentucky,
and but I didn't know that. And it's it's quite
a deal there. They emphasized it. We took a dry
through it, and I just I didn't I couldn't see
(17:15):
any I think probably it's going to take a little
hike off the road to see these native yellow woods
growing in Yellowood state for so, yeah, that's pretty neat.
When you go on vacation, sometimes the unexpected pops up.
This was really unexpected. Yeah. Yeah, it's the same one.
(17:38):
I mean, it's the one that we have that we
but it is native and it is growing right there.
And like I said, you look at some pictures posted
with high Naturalists and you know they're not a lot.
I mean some look like, you know, just straight poles,
single stem. Then when have you ever seen a Yellowood
what a single stem? Because they they are understory, you know,
(17:59):
succession trees so you put them out in the sun,
and you know, you kind of lose that apical dominance
a little bit more stems. But yeah, that's gonna have
to be a trip this next year. It's gonna have
to We're gonna have to maybe get a bus. What
do you think just pick up to us. Yeah, well
three of us, three of us, me, you and Steve.
(18:20):
We're gonna yeah, Steve, yes, our good.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Well the bus is to carry in the back.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
That's yeah. Well did you say that loud? I we
don't want anybody to hear that. So so yes, yellow wood.
So when you're out of the battle of your vacations,
I guess the take home is, uh, you know, just
look at the surroundings and and see what you can
find that's unique to that area. And maybe beforehand I
(18:50):
didn't do this beforehand. I have to thank my wife
for putting us onto that because I had no clue
none onless. Although there is a great big yellow wood
growing at one of the entrances, just well not at
the interest you couldn't get in, but off to the
side of one of the entrances that a Martin lodge.
(19:12):
And I didn't know why that was there. Other than
we do use yellow woods quite a lot in our
landscapings in Ohio, and I just thought, well, that was
just no. It's there for a reason. It's there because
you know, yellow woods are are I want to say,
a prize tree, a recognized tree. It's actually considered though,
to be threatened. Threatened there in Indiana because birds landed.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
I might think, yeah, good, good point. I'll tell you
what I plug in for Nashville, Indiana. That's a really
that's a fun town to visit. And the park there,
you know, Brown County, the whole thing is a great
place to go. Joe Boggs, thank you so much, have
a great afternoon, a great weekend. We'll talk to you
next week. And I know what you're going to say.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Say it buck there you go, Buck go, Buck go
there we go.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Take care. Thanks to our callers, Thanks for our sponsors.
Thanks of course to Dan Gleeson, our producer, because without
Danny Gleeson, none of the stuff would happens. So Danny,
thank you so much for all that you do. Now
it is fall, great time to plan, get out and
plant a tree or two or three. Key planting those
native plants, native selections, native of ours, keep your worms pampered,
get the kids and dogs involved with guardening. By all means,
(20:21):
oh be pollinat or polite, friendly, And by all means
make it the best weekend of your life.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
See it, landscaping ladies, here with your personal yard boy.
He's hitting the garden and he's Ron Wilson.
