Speaker 6 (01:11):
You know, as a parent, did you ever wear helmets
when you're riding bikes?

Speaker 8 (01:16):

What was a helmet.

Speaker 5 (01:18):
Did you wear? Did you wear knee pads?

You know when you're playing youth baseball, you've got to
wear a helmet when you're batting.

as a parent now, like you know, man, I'm on
my kids about wearing helmets. And if they're climbing trees, hey,
you don't need to be climbing that you're gonna fall.
We'd fall down off trees and hit every branch on

but Kayley and them technically are married now.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
So congrats to my tim.

Speaker 6 (03:49):
You know it, and that crazy you know you think
about how fast things go. I mean, when when you
and Mike first started doing this radio show years ago.
You know, Mike's kids are still living at home and
your kids were babies. Oh and now Mike's got Mike
and Anne got grandkids out at the Yen Yang, and
here yours are.

Speaker 9 (04:06):
But yeah, it's time flies. But yeah, so on gardener,
because we gotta we gotta focus.

Speaker 6 (04:12):
Uh listen, and and got an got plants in yesterday
A man I saw that I was walking around.

Speaker 9 (04:18):
She won't have many vegetable plants. As fast as I
get back in there.

Speaker 6 (04:21):
I'm telling you, she's got the cauliflowers. She's got Brussels sprouts, cabbage,
collared greens. Saw some strawberries in there. She's got some
looked like some petunia hanging baskets, and a few other
you know, little odds, and in some calibrochia and you know,
just a few little fillers to put in some pots.
But I know that when before I left work yesterday,

(04:41):
she was talking about she's got another shipment coming in
next week that's gonna have some one gallon stuff in it,
some one gallon lantanas and sun patients, Salvia colia siloshiah.
She said some ferns too, so kimberly queen ferns and
macho ferns. And we had a plant truck come in
this week this past week for you know, a lot

(05:02):
of plants for landscape jobs.

Speaker 5 (05:04):
She's got more shrub trucks.

Speaker 6 (05:05):
Yeah, and they went right back at the bat or.
So it's that it's that time of year. Let's just
go ahead and say it's spring. I mean here we
are March, right, I mean here we are March. So
I'm just gonna call it and we're in spring.

Speaker 9 (05:15):
Yeah, well technically spring is two weeks away. Yeah, they're
like the first you know, meteorogical day or whatever of
spring is two weeks away, and I you know, I'm
not gonna tell you, hey, go out there and plant
fifty tom plants tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (05:31):
I mean, come on, we're still because we're still gonna
get co.

Speaker 9 (05:35):
Don't go out in the yard and plant, you know,
twenty five flats and patients.

Speaker 4 (05:39):
Uh, that's probably not a good idea.

Speaker 6 (05:41):
But if you if you want to get some stuff
to go ahead and get you a couple of flower
pots planted.

Speaker 4 (05:46):
And yeah, easy enough that you can cover in the garage.

Speaker 5 (05:48):
Yeah, yeah, that's right. That's that's what time of the
year it is. Don't buy pansies right now.

Speaker 6 (05:53):
If you go to some of these big blot stores
and they got big, beautiful pansies, don't waste your money,
because that's uh, they're gonna they're gonna die off just
as soon as you can, you know, blink an eye.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
I had to run in the big box store for
something the other day.

Speaker 9 (06:06):
I can't even remember what it was, and uh, we
were off, gosh, I think we were. We were working
up in Hayden and we needed some little something and
I had to run and get like some fittings or
you know, pop fittings or whatever.

Speaker 4 (06:20):
And I ran in and they had.

Speaker 9 (06:22):
Pansies in there and snap dragons and all that stuff.
And I'm just shaking my head, thinking, man, that stuff's
going to crap out on you. And you know a
month or two months, you know, and so you know
you don't want to be planting that kind of stuff now.
You know you want to wait and you know, plant
your summer stuff. Uh here in another couple of three weeks.

(06:43):
So it's it's time. There's a lot of stuff going on.

Speaker 10 (06:46):
Man.

Speaker 4 (06:46):
Now it's great time to plant trees. Uh.

Speaker 9 (06:49):
You know, if you want to plant big trees, you
don't want to wait for them. Now is a good
time to do it. I mean they're digging trees left
and right right now. And uh as far as planting landscaping, man,
it is it's busting. We did a big job over
gosh over on Windwood Lakes. That's where we took all
those plants.

Speaker 4 (07:09):
The other day.

Speaker 9 (07:10):
Chris and uh put in added two zones to drip
irrigation over there, and then uh put plants in a
couple of spots. He had big magnoia trees and big
crape myrtles and stuff like that. I never saw it before,
but I know, you know, I get there and everything's
cutting ground and gone. Mark Whitfield had been by there

(07:31):
to do his job, uh for cob a tree, and
uh he wiped all that stuff out of the way
and got us a clean, clean slate there, and then
we went back in and put you know, low maintenance
plants back in there, and then added some plants in
the natural area and then put two zones of your
drip on those so we got them in good shape.

Speaker 5 (07:52):
That's where that an anisee went.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
Yeah, I love it.

Speaker 5 (07:55):
I love the way that stuff smells.

Speaker 4 (07:57):
It does smell good.

Speaker 6 (07:57):
It doesn't bloom, it's just a it's just a green bush,
but it just has kind of a citrusy ish type
smell to it. Yeah, you can brush up against kind
of like rosemary too. You know, if you see a
rosemary plant, you just kind of brush up against it
just to get that smell on you, kind of like
kind of like perfume. And niece is the same way
bulletproof plant too. Man, you can't hard to kill those things.

Speaker 5 (08:18):
I got.

Speaker 6 (08:18):
I got I got four of them up on my
hillside that don't get a drop of water and those things.
I mean, they'll will in the middle of a severe drought,
but once you get a little teeny tiny sprinkle, they'll.

Speaker 9 (08:28):
Bounce right back. The thing is the deer won't touch it,
that's right, I mean you can. I was at a
lady south over in Liberty Park. I got to do
a design for this weekend, and she had a niece
down the left hand side of the right hand side
of the house around some air conditioning units.

Speaker 4 (08:45):
They're too big.

Speaker 9 (08:46):
We're gonna, you know, if we get the job for
we're gonna cut them way back. But you know, they
the deer pounding everything else in her yard. She's on
you know, King's Mountain, so she's in the back part
of Liberty Park and those I mean, they are just
they're pounding her shrubs and we're gonna have to go
in there and pull her stuff up and put new
stuff in there. Hopefully we'll land that one, because I

(09:09):
really like her. When I met with the other day,
she's she's counting down to Earth, you know, And that's
you know, when you pull up at a big house
like that in Liberty Park, you're thinking, you know, who
am I going to meet this time? And uh, because
I've met all kinds of people in Liberty Park. And
she comes out. She says, I hate these shrubs. I
don't want to get all this stuff out of there.

(09:30):
And I'm just like, oh man, she's right up my alley.

Speaker 5 (09:33):
We get to work for it, snatch every one of
these things out.

Speaker 9 (09:36):
He has got a complex. I'll have to show it
to you. The way the walkway goes up to her house.
It goes up and then it hits the forty five
and goes and it winds up there, you know, and
in like eight or ten foot increments up there, And
I'm having a hard time getting my head wrapped around
drawing that thing.

Speaker 5 (09:54):
Isn't it funny?

Speaker 6 (09:55):
How like you throw a couple of different angles in
to a flower bed and that can just make it
so difficult to like properly designed. Yeah, I got a
flower bed out here and that I plant sun patients
in and I used to do like a lot of
different assorted things in it, but it was so difficult
because it.

Speaker 5 (10:14):
Was almost pie shaped.

Speaker 6 (10:15):
So you're trying to get everything, you know, as perfect
as possible, you know, levels and everything, but there's there's
a lot of thought that it's not if you start
getting outside of just like a regular old like rectangular
flower bed.

Speaker 5 (10:27):
That can be tricky.

Speaker 4 (10:28):
And I know there's got six spots.

Speaker 6 (10:30):
Yeah, and I know there's sometimes where you know, Micha
will go out, he'll look at it and he's like,
oh man, I just you know, this is hard for
me to wrap my head around. This is what I'm
thinking we do. But I'm gonna get Chris Keith out here,
you know, just for double opinion. And nine times out
of ten, like y'all's, y'all's designs are essentially exactly the same.

Speaker 5 (10:47):
But it can be it can be tricky. Get well.

Speaker 9 (10:49):
Some of the time down Mike looks at it and
it looks like you can't you know, you can't see
the forest for the trees because the shrubs are so
huge and grown, and it's like, I don't know what
he's like, I just don't know what I don't want
to do with it.

Speaker 5 (11:06):
I was overwhelming almost.

Speaker 4 (11:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (11:07):
Now some of the time the shrubs itself, I mean
like Stephen Day, he actually stopped over there. We did
a big landscape job for him and about a year ago,
and uh, they're right there and want uh wine wood
or wind wood and Uh. He stopped while I waved
at and we was going out, and he stopped and
he said, I'm gonna get y'all back out to do

(11:28):
some more work. He said, about three days after y'all
left him there, the neighbor came in and cut a
bunch of trees, actually cut trees over on my property.
And uh, I want to put some more screen plants
in there. And I said, we'll be glad to do
it for you, buddy, So we'll be back out doing
work for him. But yeah, some of the time it's
just and the last thing you should do is go

(11:52):
and pay for a landscape design. I can't tell you
how many times I throw those things in the trash.
You know, you go spend fifteen hundred, two thousand and three.
I've seen them, you know, five thousand bucks, and uh,
you know, half the time there's too many plants crammed
in there. It's stuff that is just uh, you know,
acting just accident prong you know, auto luke and laurels

(12:15):
and Indian how thorns and stuff like that, just they
covered up with disease. And uh, nine times out of ten,
you know, you just wade that thing up, throw.

Speaker 4 (12:23):
It in the track.

Speaker 5 (12:24):
It looks pretty on paper, Oh yeah, I.

Speaker 9 (12:26):
Mean they druve, they do a nice design. I mean
it's it's pretty, you know when they they print it out.

Speaker 5 (12:31):
But you know, and it looks good when it's first planted.

Speaker 6 (12:34):
And that's part of the problem because you know, they
take a plant that gets four feet wide and they
plan them like two feet apart if that, and so
by the time you get two or three years in,
it's like it's so just jam packed with stuff. It's
just it's already overgrown in just a couple of years.

Speaker 9 (12:54):
If you think about it too, you I mean, you're
you gotta just say, you got a seven thousand dollars
landscape job. You go spend some fifteen hundred dollars on design,
and then I throw the thing in the trash and
make you a little quick design for nothing, and then
I hand it ten and say what do you think
about this? You say, great, Chris, let's go with that.
Then you just wasted that undred buck. Fortunately, that goes
a long way towards plants. You buy a lot of

(13:16):
plants with fifteen hundred bucks. That's try, sure can or
you know, two thousand, whatever the case may be. But
Uh yeah, just to consult with a landscaper, and we'd
love for you to do it with us eight five
four four thousand and five before you just run off
and get a design, because you know, nine times out
of ten when I look at it, I'm just shaking
my head, like, man, you just wasted that twenty five

(13:37):
hundred dollars.

Speaker 4 (13:39):
Chris, it's time for break. Let's go ahead and do that.
Our number.

Speaker 9 (13:41):
If y'all want to call us ask us a gardener question,
you can do it. It's two O five for three
nine nine three seven two. A lot of gardening going on.
If you've got any questions, you know, what do you
need to be cutting back? What do you need to
be pruning? Any of that? You call us two O
five four three nine nine three seven two and we'll
be right back.

Speaker 3 (14:01):
These guys know they're dirt. It's the Classic Gardens and
Landscape Show with Chris Joiner and Chris Keith Russell.

Speaker 7 (14:08):
Green Houge has been insuring my business, my home and
my farm for over twenty years. You see Russell as
an independent agent. He gets to shop the insurance industry
to bring me the best possible insurance and price. Green
Hoouge Insurance is a family run business, with his wife
Marcia and son Adam involved. As Russ eases up a little,

(14:31):
Adam is stepping in. I remember when my home on
my farm burned down to the ground. I called Russ
that afternoon and the next morning I had an adjuster
standing next to me on my farm. My memory is
a little foggy, but the way I tell the story
is he wrote me a check on the spot for
the full amount of the policy. If it didn't happen

(14:52):
that way. It was so easy to work with them
that it seemed it happened that way. I also remember
when my house in Birmingham had tornado damage. I called
green Houge late on a Saturday, prepared to leave a
message on the phone. Russ answered. I said, Russ, why
are you work so late on a Saturday. He said, Mike,
there is a storm and I'm expecting some phone calls

(15:13):
from my customers. It might be hard to believe, but
that's the kind of service you get from Green Houge Insurance.
Give Russ or Adam a call today nine six seven
eighty eight hundred and tell them that Mike sent you.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
News Radio one oh five five WERC.

Speaker 7 (15:29):
You have been hearing me talk about Caboda on this
program for thirty three years now. When I first went
into business, I had to have a tractor. I didn't
know much about Koboda, but that it was a pretty
tractor and affordable. Only later did I find out how
dependable they are. Another key component is where you buy
your Koboda. Blunt County Tractor established nineteen forty seven and

(15:52):
Josh Fallen in Auniana is where I go six two, five,
five three eight one. A family run business. Jo Oush
and his wife Oddie Newture.

Speaker 7 (16:03):
Whether you're looking for a small tractor, a mid size
or a large tractor, Caboda and Blunt County Tractor have
them all, and so do I. I own the smallest
tractor and the largest tractor Caboda makes. I don't think
any of my tractors are newer than twenty years old.
At every time I use them, they crank, they run,
they get the job done, and they are dependable and comfortable.

(16:25):
Blunt County Tractor also has a complete line of z
turn mowers. Man These are the best. I have a
small one from my home in town and the largest one.
They make for my farm the Z seven two six X.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
Don't no del no, no no, dunno, don't no, dunn out,
don't no, don't no, don't don't know your.

Speaker 9 (17:02):
Plants, Yes, sir, you got to know your plants. And hey, buddy,
we know our plants. If y'all need landscape and irrigation,
night lighting, long care, if you need a patio or
a taina wall built, you've got to call us.

Speaker 4 (17:14):
Eight five four four thousand and five. Uh.

Speaker 9 (17:17):
But between me and my guys, we got about one
hundred years experience.

Speaker 5 (17:20):
Yeah, well, y'all are efficient and do things.

Speaker 9 (17:23):
Yeah we're getting we're getting long in the tooth. But hey, buddy,
still handler you throw a kid out there with us.
We're working today. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (17:32):
Hey, if you need pre mergent put on your yard,
now is the time to do it. Like now, come in,
get the bag of gold. Let us come, Let us
come out and put down that bag of gold on
your yard, because I know that, you know, I was
out all this past week, as you know I would have.
I had four or five bids to go do first

(17:52):
thing in the morning, and the next thing, you know,
Jenny sends me another one, and another one and another one.
And it's primarily because like people that didn't do anything
last fall, they're just now starting to see all those
weeds popping up.

Speaker 5 (18:05):
In the yard.

Speaker 6 (18:06):
I mean, you get, you get just you know, a
handful of days that are in the sixties and seventies,
and if you didn't do any pre emergent last fall,
all that hen bit and bitter cress and chick weed
and poanna, that stuff is going crazy right now. And
but what you've got to do is you've got to
get started on a pre mergent program now to prevent

(18:28):
all the weeds from coming up in the late spring
and summer. So crabgrass is one crabgrass. Now is the
time to do that pre mergent for that gripe weed
or chamber bitter little mimosa tree, that's what everybody calls it,
little mimosa tree. You start on a pre mergent program
right now, and you go ahead and you get ahead
of all those weeds that are going to be germinating
in the future. Now in the meantime, all those weeds

(18:50):
that you see in the yard right now, obviously there's
no way that you can prevent those, but we come
in and we start spraying those out and killing those.
So but biggest thing is you just got to get started.
And it's in people's minds right now when they go
out till you take a pretty weekend, like like like
we're gonna have this weekend, people are gonna start getting
out there scalping their yard, you know, piddling around, you know,

(19:13):
cleaning up flower beds, and they're gonna start looking around.
They're gonna be like, oh my gosh, I got a
mess YEP. And you can give us a call eight
five four four thousand and five. I can come out
and give you a quote, be personalized quote for our
lawn fertilization program and we'll get you taken care of.

Speaker 9 (19:29):
If you're one of those people mow your grass, yeah
that's huge. So right now you need a scalping your
yard anyway, So if you got to bermute a lawn
and you think you've got it cut.

Speaker 5 (19:37):
Low enough, cut it lower, I mean my mow and
you get it to the dirt.

Speaker 4 (19:40):
Get it to the dirt.

Speaker 5 (19:41):
Yeah, my mowing.

Speaker 6 (19:42):
Deck basically scrapes the ground when I when I scalped
my yard. I did my front yard last week, and
I'm gonna do my backyard this week.

Speaker 9 (19:49):
Those big lush you know waves that are growing out
there in those bad yards right now, if they'll just
keep them cut, you know, it's gonna help a lot
with long care.

Speaker 4 (19:57):
Because see what happens is we get out there new.

Speaker 9 (20:00):
Yard that we just took on and you know, they
got a big old, you know, lush green wheat up there,
and we spray it. And the way a lot of
chemicals work is it basically makes the weed outgrow just
you know, try to grow fast, and it just burns
the thing up. Well, in a lot of cases, if

(20:22):
you already got a big weed, you know, it doesn't
it's not as effective on it a kind of wipe
the thing out, you know, and just not do as
good a job. So if you got those weeds small
and down low, we come in there with that with
weed killer, and it's a lot more effective.

Speaker 6 (20:35):
I know, working in the garden center over the years,
Chris Keith, and you know way better than I do.
People will come in in the next three four weeks
with sackfuls of weeds, so those things will be six
or eight inches tall, and you know, they'll say, hey,
I need some weed killer for this, and we'll set
them up with some weed free zone. We free zone
is a fantastic weed killer to spray on broad leaf weeds.

(20:56):
But the first instruction that we give them is before
you spray this, you need to cut those weeds. And
once you cut those weeds and it starts putting off
that fresh tender growth, that's when you come in and
you spray those and that fresh tender growth is more
susceptible to uh, you know, to that spray. It's just
it's no different than plants. You know, like when when

(21:17):
uh when plants uh in the in the in the
fall or even this time of year. You know, plants
start to put on new growth and then we get
a hard freeze, that new growth hasn't hardened off, and
it gets singed, it gets burnt back. It's the same
way with weeds. Well, you want to cut those things down.
Let that new tender growth come up and then and
then spray them.

Speaker 5 (21:37):
And you'll be I mean, you'll be in the money.

Speaker 4 (21:40):
Just like in your shrub beds. You know.

Speaker 9 (21:42):
You get out there right now and in shrub beds,
and and man, you see weeds popping up all over
the place. You get you some kills off, you know,
and just as the name applies, it kills all and
you mix it up and the pump up spray going there,
spray the weeds that are in there. Put you that
you know it's coming in the next uh, in the
next about month or so, you can prune just about anything.

Speaker 4 (22:04):
You know.

Speaker 9 (22:05):
Your azealeas are gonna start blooming in about two or
three weeks, depending on what the weather does. They're gonna
bloom for about three, you know, three or four weeks,
and then they're gonna, you know, get past their peak,
and you know you'll have a lot of new growth
flush out there. And that's when you go in there
and prying those things. And uh, you know, when you do,
you fertilize them good with a fertil on miasa evergreen food.

(22:25):
But you already have your bed sprayed. Everything's dead in there.
Whatever clippings you, you know, cut off your things and
get those things up, put you down a fresh layer
of mults and you're good to go.

Speaker 5 (22:35):
Fas tell you. That's what I'm talking about up.

Speaker 9 (22:38):
You know, this time of year, you need to be
cutting down your limelight high drange is if you hadn't
do it. I had a lady call uh text me
the other day, Chris, uh that we've done work for
or we've treated her yard forever. Lisa down in Lake Cyrus.
She she texts me like crazy, what Chris, would I
need to do this?

Speaker 4 (22:59):
What I know need to do that?

Speaker 9 (23:00):
And all that stuff because she's trying to keep up
with her stuff and her daughter Sloan and her his
uh and and Brock and uh. So she's kind of
made sure she's taking care of her stuff and making
sure their stuff's taken care of too. And she's like,
when I need to do this, how far back do
I need to cut them? I said, Lisa, you can't
even screw it up just to whack them down. If

(23:24):
you feel like you hadn't win it, for go a
little further it'd be all right. And it's the same
thing with knockout roses and really any kind of roses.
I mean this time of year, you ought to crop
them things back. I'm talking to you know, a foot high.
And I was at a guy's house yesterday, Chris over
here in Crandle Chris right here in Springville, and uh
he has some knockout roses.

Speaker 4 (23:44):
They're seven feet.

Speaker 5 (23:45):
Tall right now, good night.

Speaker 9 (23:47):
And I mean they've got the bass trunks on them
are like or the you know, the bass canes on
them are like as big as my wrist.

Speaker 5 (23:54):
Man about those thorns are two inches long.

Speaker 9 (23:56):
Yeah, it's like he didn't print them at all last
year and they just he said, I prine to prune,
to prune on him, and I just last year I
let him go and man, they just went berserk. And
uh so I've got to give them a ask him
that we're gonna pull all that stuff out. They're just
if a knockout rose is a is a good plant.

(24:17):
It has its it has its flaws. You don't want
to go out there and playing one hundred of them
because they are susceptable the rose rosette virus. And once
you get that virus, there's no cure for it. So
you have to pull all that stuff up and replace
it with something else. But as far as that guy
that's got one knockout rose out in the yard. Uh,
you know, you got to be aggressive for those things,

(24:39):
pruning them. You print them now you're print it again
about June July. But you've got you don't miss you
got it. You gotta do a pruning on them. If
you don't, they'll get out of control.

Speaker 5 (24:49):
Yeah, in a heartbeat.

Speaker 6 (24:50):
And you've prune him back like that, and it just
they flushed back out, you know in the spring, and god,
they look just like a brand new brand.

Speaker 9 (24:58):
Well even though you prune the thing, by the time
we get into you know, late April May, they were
gonna start blooming that bloom like crazy. But you have
got to I don't care if you take a machete
to them.

Speaker 4 (25:08):
You got to.

Speaker 9 (25:09):
You gotta take a weed eater with the skills all
blade and I mean I I just wear them out.

Speaker 6 (25:14):
You know, my mom had a had an old fashioned rose.
I don't even know what kind it was. It was
a red rose, old fashioned rose right out on the
corner of the street. And that it was like it
was my great grandmother's you know what I'm saying. So
it had been there since like the thirties, thirties, and
I went out there one day with a machete and
hacked that thing down with when I was a kid,
and I thought my mom was gonna wear me out.

Speaker 4 (25:35):
And uh, you didn't never know a switch was that?

Speaker 6 (25:39):
Oh yeah, because we had a privet hedge near the
telephone pole all the corner too, and uh, that was
that was her.

Speaker 4 (25:45):
That was her.

Speaker 5 (25:45):
That was where she got her switches from old privet hedge. Man,
that thing would would come through there, show bow.

Speaker 6 (25:52):
But I chopped that thing down with a machete. Oh
she was mad, and uh but little did little did
we know. Man, that thing came back and.

Speaker 4 (26:00):
It looked looked better than it ever did before.

Speaker 5 (26:03):
Yep.

Speaker 9 (26:03):
People just don't understand that even those little drift roses
that only get about two foot tall come back and
get that thing and cut it into a ball about
as big as a soft ball every year, you know,
and you thank god, man, I just cut everything off
of that thing.

Speaker 4 (26:16):
But you give it, you know, three weeks.

Speaker 9 (26:18):
A little shot of fertilizer, boom, and those things that
come out and be so pretty.

Speaker 5 (26:22):
That's right.

Speaker 6 (26:23):
We had a we had a whole row of privet
between the houses. And it was the greatest hedgerow ever,
you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 9 (26:29):
And back in the day they sold that stuff. Uh
huh they take crazy.

Speaker 5 (26:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (26:33):
Yeah, we just we just planted or we didn't, you know,
but our ancestors planning. Uh the worst weed in Alabama
just cultivated. And I'm talking about birds.

Speaker 6 (26:45):
I think me and you have gone to war with
privet at our properties about a few to know.

Speaker 9 (26:49):
My place, Uh, my old house, I did, I mean
acres of it.

Speaker 6 (26:53):
I burnt and burnt and burnt that that's up my
mom's house. We had privet along the edge, I think
we had. We had borders of monkey grass that would
probably circle.

Speaker 5 (27:04):
The earth three times.

Speaker 4 (27:05):
Goodness.

Speaker 5 (27:05):
That was my first.

Speaker 6 (27:06):
That was one of my favorite things to do when
I was helping my mom in the yard. If she
would dig up clumps and I have a little machete
or hatchet, and I'd sit there and I'd chop them up,
you know, into sprigs. Man, We sprig those things that
in hosta. We dug hosta up and split hasta every
year iris day lilies by the wlfin eers you name it.

Speaker 4 (27:25):
Man.

Speaker 9 (27:25):
By the way, this time of year is time to
scap your monkey grass back. So like if you got
the variegated lirio you know playing in your yard or
the green, you take that stuff and cut it down
to the dirt right now, and it's about to flush
back new growth.

Speaker 5 (27:39):
Just down to the little nubs.

Speaker 4 (27:40):
It'd be pretty Christmas time for break. Let's quit and
do that. Our number.

Speaker 9 (27:44):
If y'all want to call us, ask us a gardening question,
you can do it. It's two five four three nine
nine three seven two. You're listening to Classic Gardens of
Landscape show on WRC.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
It's the Classic Gardens and Landscape shovel on the hand.
Ready when you want sh up plants and grass to grub.

Speaker 3 (28:12):
Two docent Chris, Chris and Chris and now you're a
host Chris Joiner and Chris Keith.

Speaker 10 (28:21):
Yep.

Speaker 9 (28:21):
While we are break, me and Chris were sitting there
talking about golden Euonymous.

Speaker 5 (28:25):
Man, that's a tough plant. It can be.

Speaker 6 (28:27):
It's it's one of those feast or famine type plants.
Old school plant. That's one of those that they used
to plant in every single landscape.

Speaker 9 (28:33):
Yeah, they had that bright yellow or you know the one.
So the couple I went to Cranele Chris yesterday and
looked at Uh, there's your like you're talking about, Chris.
They look really good that that plant, though, gets scale.
It gets scale so bad. The scale that gets on
it is called you on Amus scale because it's that bad.

Speaker 5 (28:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (28:55):
On that plant smokes and it gets powdery mildew.

Speaker 8 (28:59):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (28:59):
You know, it's it's not a good plant to use.

Speaker 5 (29:02):
We don't. I don't know that we've ever sold that.

Speaker 4 (29:04):
No, I never sold it.

Speaker 6 (29:05):
But it's just one of those things like when it
does right, it's it's actually pretty good looking plant.

Speaker 9 (29:12):
Now with this couple out here in Crandelecris, they've got
two they're kind of growing like it's kind of weird.

Speaker 4 (29:18):
They're growing kind of comb.

Speaker 6 (29:19):
Shaped, how about that, and they're six feet tall. Usually
it's just a standard old bush.

Speaker 9 (29:24):
Yeah, well theirs are narrow at the base and tall
like almost like a holly of some type. It's kind
of weird. And there's a heavy veer get variegated, so
they got a lot of white in them, you know,
and they're pretty so I'll probably leave them and you know,
later on they'll get scale and they'll croak. But for
right now, right now, pretty man. I hate to tear

(29:45):
amount we have.

Speaker 6 (29:46):
My mom had one of us. That's again, that's another
one of those old school plants.

Speaker 4 (29:49):
I would have to tell you one for lovely money.

Speaker 6 (29:51):
We had a green one on the corner of the
house and you couldn't kill that thing. You could chop
that thing down to the ground, you could rip it
up with a truck, and then it would still come back.

Speaker 4 (29:59):
Dad had some at the house and they they did
the same thing. Man.

Speaker 9 (30:03):
They got powdery meal to you in them so bad.
They would bloom in the spring and they would draw
like a million little bugs of various types, you know,
different little bees and sweat bees and everything else, and
they'd just be a mess. They get powdery meal to you,
and the next thing you know, they got scale and
they just.

Speaker 6 (30:22):
And then their scale on top of the scale on
top of the scale, and then that plant just it's
it's like a death sentence once it gets a problem.

Speaker 9 (30:29):
Yeah, let's see what Larry's got going on the morning, Larry,
how you doing.

Speaker 11 (30:34):
Good? Listen, Chris Joiner, I believe read my lawn last
week with.

Speaker 10 (30:43):
Uh prim and I assume they were both sprays because
he wanted me to water it in and the next.

Speaker 11 (30:53):
Two days didn't get a boat freeze. Yeah, it wasn't
a good time to be turning water on.

Speaker 10 (31:01):
Then when I finally had warmed up a little bit
and it broke my sprinkler.

Speaker 11 (31:05):
So I couldn't do it. Then my question is if
those are liquids, do they need to be watered in?

Speaker 6 (31:12):
Well, Larry, pretty much any product that you put down
has to be watered in, whether it's liquid or whether
it's granule. But they basically they'll sit there and do
nothing until they're watered in. So, you know, this time
of year, we're typically getting rained once or twice a week,
and so I don't push customers, you know, in the
winter and real early in the spring to water these

(31:35):
things in because we're getting enough rainfall. So but to
answer your question, yes, it does need to be watered in.
But if your irrigation system's broke down, that premergence still there.
Once it gets watered in, it's going to be effective
and it's going to do what it needs to do.

Speaker 5 (31:52):
Well.

Speaker 11 (31:52):
My ariation system is freaking end of a host.

Speaker 9 (31:56):
Yeah, that works pretty good to get that repair.

Speaker 4 (32:01):
Yeah, and this is a.

Speaker 10 (32:03):
Blow freezing doesn't work too.

Speaker 11 (32:05):
Good.

Speaker 6 (32:07):
Yeah, no, irrigation doesn't work when it's frozen, but that
pre mergant that we put down, it'll still do what
it needs to do.

Speaker 5 (32:15):
All well, it's.

Speaker 11 (32:16):
Done a good job since you started putting it down.
All the weeds I had last year, I haven't seen
one thing green in my yard this year.

Speaker 5 (32:24):
Good, that's what it should be.

Speaker 4 (32:27):
I like to hear that to look like a pair
of khakes at this point.

Speaker 11 (32:31):
Well, you killed about four thousand creeping Charlie, so that
that populations had gone.

Speaker 9 (32:39):
All right, that's what we liked here, Larry, all right,
thank you, all right, have a good weekend, buddy. Yeah,
that'll you too. Yeah, that's I mean, that's what we
want to hear. You know, you sign up a customer
and you want to tell them, hey, look man, give
me a year. It don't matter. You know, I've seen

(33:00):
some I've literally been out on some yards. Got Chris
signed up. He sent me on the first time. And
it wasn't nothing that looked like a patch of turning.
You couldn't find a sprigg.

Speaker 5 (33:10):
Remember that one, Remember that one up the road from
the shop.

Speaker 9 (33:12):
Yeah, he got one over there and by Jeff State
and signed them up and I'm I rode by there
and I'm like, I can't even find any grass here,
and uh, you know, he signed that thing up, and
I was like, goodness, gracious, it's gonna take us forever
turn this thing. And I was out there the next

(33:33):
you know, like literally a year later, and uh, it
was like, good grief, this thing has done a complete flip,
you know. And it's just amazing what a pre emergent
program will do for you. And I tell you, if
you want the best, the best lawan care of service anywhere,
you call eight five four four thousand and five. Uh,

(33:53):
if your yard you got a bermuda yard and you
can't find a sprig of bermuda in it because of
all the weeds right now, I guarantee if you call
us now, we will get you on a premerger program.
If you're ninety percent weeds and ten percent grass, we'll
turn that slim around any year. Yep, we can do
it for you, no problem. You call us eight five
four four thousand and five.

Speaker 6 (34:13):
The biggest thing, like you said, Chris Keith, it's just
it's patience.

Speaker 5 (34:17):
You know.

Speaker 6 (34:18):
It didn't get that way overnight. It's not gonna turn
it's not going to turn around overnight. And that's I mean,
that's something that I hammer down into people's minds when
I'm out there and we're walking over the yard, because
I mean, I'm the world's worst. I'm impatient, like I
want instant results, you know what I mean. And I'm
better now than I used to be, especially when it
comes to like yard work. If I had a bush

(34:38):
that didn't look good, I will just rip it out
and put a new one in there.

Speaker 5 (34:41):
But with yards and grass.

Speaker 6 (34:44):
It's it's just one of those things you have to
kind of cycle through the seasons, you know, because there's
you know, we've always said, you know, all weeds don't
germinate at one time, like they don't pick you know,
March fifteenth at three forty Yeah.

Speaker 4 (34:59):
Hey buddy.

Speaker 6 (35:01):
And it's like in nationwide radio, all the weeds are
like all right, go. You know, there's there's weeds that
germinate three hundred and sixty five days a year, you know,
and you've got weeds that germinate in the fall, in
the spring and the summer and the winter.

Speaker 5 (35:14):
So you have to kind of cycle through, you know.

Speaker 6 (35:17):
Do you take a yard that you're like you're talking
about ninety percent weeds and ten percent grass. You know,
you have annual weeds that that you know, basically live
their life cycle in one year that you have to
that you have to eliminate and get rid of. And
then you have perennial weeds, which basically like perennial weeds
that that weed that you see, it comes back every
single year. And so something like some weeds, some perennial

(35:40):
weeds you don't see till spring, and some perennial weeds
you don't see till summer. So you have to go
through an entire season, and an entire season we always
tell customers that takes approximately one year before we've been
on a yard. We've gotten our pre mergent established, we've
gotten the grass healthy and where it needs to be,
and we've been able to cycle through all these seasons

(36:01):
and get to the point where you know, we can
say that, okay, we've gotten everything where we need it,
and we've gotten your yard basically like tip top shape,
you know, and weed free for the most part. So
it takes time, you know, and I explain people it's
like weight loss. I mean, if you if you have
a goal to lose fifty pounds. You ain't going to

(36:23):
you ain't going to the gym and in you know,
two three, four weeks and expect to lose fifty pounds healthy.

Speaker 5 (36:30):
I mean, you could probably do it, but it ain't
gonna be healthy.

Speaker 6 (36:32):
But it's like it's something that takes time, you know,
to get a yard whipped back into shape. And it's consistency.
You know, you can't like you all get phone calls.
I guarantee you all get phone calls that you know
where people last like November, you know, October November they
thought to themselves, you know what, you know what, it's wintertime.
I don't need to be treating my yard and I

(36:54):
don't need to be doing anything to my yard right now.
And come like April, they'll be calling back like, oh man,
I messed up. I should have been treating my yard
over the winter months. So it's one of the if
you want a nice you know, you want a nice lawn,
it's something that you have to stay on top of
basically forever.

Speaker 9 (37:10):
Yeah, you know that's the thing. Weeds are the dominant thing,
not the grass. So if you you know, you wait
six months and don't do anything, man, that's gonna decline
in a hurry. Me you take a good old golf course,
just you know, I always put out Heather would for example,
you know it was shut down. I don't know yet
assume it's still shut down.

Speaker 5 (37:30):
Yeah, years ago, but that was a primetime golf looked a.

Speaker 9 (37:34):
Beautiful golf course and uh, you know you go by
it now looks like a pasture.

Speaker 5 (37:38):
Yep.

Speaker 9 (37:38):
So I mean it doesn't take long at all, you know,
to take some a pristine lawn and it just turned
into crap.

Speaker 4 (37:46):
Uh, But you can fix it.

Speaker 9 (37:47):
You just have to be patient and you know, be
diligent on your pre emergent and stuff like that. Well, Chris,
it's time for the last break of the show. Let's
go ahead and do that. Or number if you want
to get a last minute call. You might be able
to at zuo five four three nine nine three seven two.
If you need landscaping, if you need lawn care, if
you need irrigation, night lighting, patios, retaina walls, drainage work.

(38:09):
You know, this time of year, a lot of people
they noticed drainage problems worse this time of year because
obviously it rains.

Speaker 4 (38:17):
Seems like it.

Speaker 9 (38:17):
Rains every other day in the wintertime, and you know
I'm just in a dated with calls about fixing drainings
this time of year, so we can do that for
you as well.

Speaker 4 (38:26):
Again.

Speaker 9 (38:27):
That's eight five four, four thousand and five, and we'll
be right back on Classic Gardens of Landscape Show.

Speaker 12 (38:33):
It's the Classic Gardens and Landscape Show. Get advice from
two of the South's prom your plaid guys, Chris Joiner
and Chris Keith on the Classic Gardens and Landscape Show.

Speaker 7 (38:44):
Russell Green how it has been insuring my business, my
home and my farm for over twenty years. You see
Russell as an independent agent. He gets to shop the
insurance industry to bring me the best possible insurance and price.
Greenhouse Insurance is a family run business with his wife
Marcia and son Adam involved. As Russ eases up a little,

(39:07):
Adam is stepping in. I remember when my home on
my farm burned down to the ground. I called Russ
that afternoon and the next morning I had an adjuster
standing next to me on my farm. My memory is
a little foggy, but the way I tell the story
is he wrote me a check on the spot for
the full amount of the policy if it didn't happen

(39:28):
that way. It was so easy to work with them
that it seemed it happened that way. I also remember
when my house in Birmingham had tornado damage. I called
Green Houge, laid on a satdery, prepared to leave a
message on the phone. Russ answered. I said, Russ, why
are you work so late on a Saturday? He said, Mike,
there was a storm and I'm expecting some phone calls

(39:49):
from my customers. It might be hard to believe, but
that's the kind of service you get from Green Houge Insurance.
Give Russ or Adam a call today nine to sixty
seven eight eight hundred and tell them that Mike sent you.

Speaker 3 (40:11):
Where all my flowers gone? No clouds passing.

Speaker 8 (40:19):
Wear headboll?

Speaker 3 (40:20):
My flowers gone, no fur a long.

Speaker 4 (40:27):
Wear he boll.

Speaker 11 (40:28):
My flowers gone turned to dust by the summer sun,
as I just watched them burn Sunday day.

Speaker 1 (40:40):
My.

Speaker 4 (40:42):
Which where have all my flowers? Gold? They got froze
and blistered out of cold?

Speaker 5 (40:51):
Squirrels dug mine up.

Speaker 6 (40:53):
You know, I plant pansies every year, and squirrels bury
all their hickory nuts and everything in my flower pot.
And then then then you know, late winter they start
coming and digging those dang nuts back up and they
tear all my pansies. Dad, get neighbors gonna start squirrel
hunting for me. I had a hose pipe out on
the side of my house, and uh I went to

(41:14):
use it the other day and they had gone through
and gnawed on it. I guess, sharpening their teeth, wearing
their teeth down, so they had taking all that classic.

Speaker 5 (41:21):
Man, the squirrels are destructive. Yeah, they are, man, I'll
tell you what. Anyway, we got Robin on the line.
Good morning, Robin, how are you.

Speaker 8 (41:29):
Good morning. I'm doing great, Thank you. My question is
is now the best time to go ahead him put
down fertilizer for the shrubs before I put down fresh
mulch and or pine straws.

Speaker 4 (41:44):
No, ma'am, I think I would wait about a month. Uh.

Speaker 9 (41:47):
We usually say, you know, just use use the the holidays, Easter,
fourth July, Labor Day.

Speaker 4 (41:58):
Oh what happened? What happens?

Speaker 9 (42:00):
You're gonna get a lot of growth flush out there
in the next month or so. And uh, you know
you'll so if you basically, if you go in there
and trim now you're gonna get a new flush of growth,
and you're just about you're gonna have to go right
back in and do it again. If you wait about
another month or so, then you can go in, you know,
like say after your azaleas are done blooming, or if

(42:22):
you don't have azaleas, just look at everybody else's azaleas,
and whenever those azelias quit blooming, that's when I go
in there and prune. You go in there and prune,
you fertilize, you put your bark out. But we try
to do that.

Speaker 8 (42:34):
Basically when you so you're saying, I'm asking about fertilizing,
not printing. So yeah, you're saying they're kind of, you know,
symmetrical with each other.

Speaker 9 (42:46):
Yeah, yeah, you want to do yeah, everything that's kind
of a that's kind of a one shot deal. So
you go in your prune, your fertilize, you mulch, do
that every year. You usually around the middle of April,
the first second week of April, when you when you
see everybody's zelle, you start peeking out and start you know,

(43:08):
getting past their peak, that's when you want to fertilize.

Speaker 8 (43:13):
Okay, And the next one about shrubbery is is now
still a good time to relocate existing shrubs to another
area of your yard.

Speaker 9 (43:24):
I think you still do it and get away with it. Okay,
like a month and a half ago would have been
prime time. But yeah, I think you can, depending on
how big it is, you know, and how long it's
been there. You know, if it's something that hadn't been
in there, but you know, two or three, four years
something like that, and it's a small shrub, you probably
get away with it no problem.

Speaker 4 (43:45):
If it's a shrub that's.

Speaker 9 (43:46):
Been there, you know, it's a twenty year old azelia
that's you know, six feet tall. You know, it's that's
gonna be a tough project to move. But you know
a lot of small shrubs you can get by and
moving a lot, you know, just about any time of
year depends know what it.

Speaker 8 (44:00):
Is and how far out from the day do you
start the process of digging up the shrub, because I
know you're going to have to leave some of the
root system just because you can't.

Speaker 4 (44:13):
Yeah, that's right. So basically the width of the foliage.

Speaker 8 (44:18):
Okay, good, good, good suggestions will tell Chris Joiner, thank
you very much. He came out and we are started
as your lawn program to rerevivitalize graphs that we have.

Speaker 5 (44:30):
Oh yeah, Robin, I know exactly. I know exactly where
you are. Uh.

Speaker 6 (44:34):
We got and looked at looked at a bunch of
stuff and you should have been out there the other
day was.

Speaker 5 (44:39):
The first first treatment process you came.

Speaker 8 (44:42):
You did you came this week, And I certainly appreciate
the the email with the details of exactly the product
you put on and reiterating about watering. That was exactly
what I'm looking for. Awesome, we like details.

Speaker 4 (44:59):
We'd like to give the.

Speaker 8 (45:01):
Okay, well y'all have a great weekend, and thank you
for your information.

Speaker 4 (45:05):
All right, Rocky, anytime I will perfect.

Speaker 6 (45:11):
I like that, Chris Keith. Uh, you know, and that's
one of the things we always do. Like with our
long hair customers. We make sure that we give them
provide them with information and communication, you know.

Speaker 5 (45:22):
About what's going on with their yard.

Speaker 6 (45:24):
You know what we did, you know, if they have
anything specific that they need to do, because you know,
here we go on long care again. You know, number one,
it takes patience, but at the same time, it's a
it's a team effort, you know what I mean.

Speaker 5 (45:37):
It's not all on us.

Speaker 6 (45:38):
And actually, you know, what we do is just a
small part of you know, making and keeping a healthy yard,
because the homeowner has to make sure on their end
that they keep it cut. They got to make sure
that they keep it watered. And if there are issues
with you know, with insects or disease, obviously they've got
to give us the authorization to take care of that

(46:01):
or they have to take care of it themselves.

Speaker 5 (46:03):
And then just you know, setting expectations.

Speaker 6 (46:07):
You know, I know I met with Robin's husband while
we were out there, and you know, there were areas
that had you know, just kind of gotten a little
thin and it was, you know, being winter. Obviously areas
of yards get more sunlight now than they would when
the leaves get on their trees. And you know, we're
sitting out there and I'm kind of trying to judge
the sunlight and and you know how much sun it's

(46:28):
going to get and what.

Speaker 5 (46:29):
We can do to improve those areas.

Speaker 6 (46:31):
But you know, you have to set the expectations basically,
you know, if we talked about that, you know, ninety
ninety percent wee ten percent grass rule. There are times
where I go out to home owners yard and there's
no hope. And I'll tell them that up front of me, like, listen,
I'm not out here just to make a buck. If
you want ice grass, you need to call. We need

(46:51):
to get you set up for a landscape estimate. We
need to reside the whole yard. So it's it's it's
a lot about communication, you know, and setting the expectation.

Speaker 9 (46:59):
That's got to be day rough to do that. Yeah, yeah,
I mean it's gotta be rough.

Speaker 5 (47:03):
There's no hope. And sometimes that's the case.

Speaker 6 (47:06):
You know, homeowner just hasn't done anything for years and
years and years, or maybe they bought a new house
and uh, you know, inherited a disaster. And uh, I've
always been upfront and on us with folks about that.

Speaker 9 (47:18):
I was out at mister Huntley's uh down he's like
off of emernous part way down.

Speaker 6 (47:24):
Yeah, yep, that's right, And uh we said that's another one.
We signed up for long hair not too long ago.

Speaker 4 (47:28):
We added a little bit of sowd.

Speaker 9 (47:29):
He he had a little sitting area in the back
by the golf course and we we resided that spot
right there. It was it was pretty bad. Z fifty two.
We just got him signed up, didn't we did?

Speaker 5 (47:39):
Yeah. Uh.

Speaker 9 (47:40):
He had Z fifty two in the front, and uh,
it's a little thin. He's got a pretty shady yard.
The back is real shady. So but I think his
yard is gonna do real good. He had a stump
in the front.

Speaker 4 (47:55):
Uh.

Speaker 9 (47:55):
We filled that stump in and resided over the top
of that, you know, knocked the stump out with a
b and put some dirt in there, and resided over
a couple of spots right there. He had mondo grass
planting up either side of his sidewalk, and it was
the short mondo. So we went in and dug all
that up and put tall mondo grass back in there,
real thick but looked pretty already, and got.

Speaker 4 (48:17):
Him fixed up. Chris, that music means we're out of time, y'all.
Come see.

Speaker 9 (48:21):
