I hope everybody's doing fine and dandy on this nice
spring day.

Speaker 5 (03:37):
Yeah, I mean it's it's a little muggy a little bit.
It's a little cloudy, yes, all right, we're probably gonna
get a little rain.

Speaker 10 (03:43):
Little yellow, it's a lot yellow. So so this is
a classic garden.

Speaker 5 (03:49):
There's so much in the air right now. I can
smell it.

Speaker 10 (03:52):
Four three nine seven two is a phone number to
call Chris talking about Smoky and his yellow one one
of the other. So we this is uh. This past
week we went to Charleston, South Carolina. Kids were out
for spring break and I was telling I was telling
Mike before I went out of town. I think I
saw him Thursday before last. He was in the garden

(04:14):
center hooking up some trailers, haul and equipment left and right.
Because y'all been slamming with landscaping.

Speaker 5 (04:21):
And we love it. Hey, if y'all need landscaping calls,
I mean, yeah, we're we're covered up, but we're knocking
them out. I mean, as fast as they're coming in,
they're going we're we're knocking them out. So give us
a call eight five four, four thousand and five. Man,
we'd love to do some landscape before you.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (04:37):
So I was talking with Mike and uh, he was
one he was trying. He was coordinating a couple of
landscape jobs and there was one I needed to spray
for him. And he was asking if I could go
out this this Monday past Monday and do it. And
I was like, man, we're going out of town for
spring break. He looks at me, he said, Chris Joinner,
you're fired. He what are you doing one out of
town on sprint in March for spring break?

Speaker 2 (04:58):
And I said, I said Mike, I was like, I can't.

Speaker 10 (05:00):
I don't think I've ever taken a spring break off
in my life, Like for real, I've never you know,
before we got married, spring break wasn't a big deal
because you know, you don't have kids, you know, no
big deal. You can go to the beach and at
seventy five degree.

Speaker 5 (05:13):
I'd rather go to the beach and gin all right
then March.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
And uh and uh this.

Speaker 10 (05:18):
We usually take a week off in the summer and
like go down to the beach or whatever, but I
don't I don't know that we're gonna do that this year.
But uh, our kids wanted to go to South Carolina.
Sarah's got a bunch of family that lives in a
place called Hanahan, which is, like, I guess you could say,
kind of like Springville is to Birmingham. You know, it's
one of the suburbs of Charleston. And so we went
up there for the week. We had a fantastic time,

(05:39):
did some really. We actually normally when we go up there,
because Sarah has a lot of family, we normally just
do like family stuff, and our kids haven't ever done
like a lot of the touristy type stuff because we
try to stay out of those areas. Because, man, I'm
gonna tell you when Sarah and I got married fifteen
years ago, and I actually started going up there before

(06:00):
that before we got married. So I mean you're talking,
you know, probably sixteen seventeen years ago. You know, it
was any you could go anywhere and be anywhere in
ten minutes, right, Yeah. So her grandparents lived on James
Island and it was kind of centrally located to most everything.
Ten minutes to go east, ten minutes to go west, north, south, whatever,

(06:21):
ten minutes. Now it's like forty five minutes fifty minutes
an hour to get places because it's just gotten so
busy and so populated that.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Man, it's traffic is a nightmare.

Speaker 10 (06:32):
Yeah, so you're really it's like trying to go It's
like trying to go through Atlanta. If you ever have
to go through Atlanta, you try to leave at a
time where you hope to beat the traffic. Well, it's
the same way. It's the same way going there.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
But we did a lot of touristy stuff.

Speaker 10 (06:48):
Her dad and brother went to the Citadel, which is
a military college right in downtown Charston, and on Fridays
they do what it's like a dress parade basically where
all the cadets out, you know, the band marches out
with the bagpipes and drums and it's a big kind
of military ceremony and they get inspected basically by all

(07:09):
their superiors as far as dress and how they march
and everything. Shoot cannons. You know, it's a really cool
thing if you've never seen it. So we did that
then you know, went to a market downtown, which is
basically like it's basically like a big flea market the
middle to downtown. Walked the battery, which is right on
the you know, right on the right on Charleston Harbor,

(07:32):
went to Fort Sumter.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Did that?

Speaker 10 (07:34):
Went to a graveyard, Chris Keith? How about that a graveyard?
It's coolest graveyard that we've ever been to. Her granddad
is buried there. Well, we were finding graves from like
seventeen seventy six, you know, and all these headstones are
like fifteen feet tall, archangels and Spanish moss hanging everywhere.

(07:54):
I mean, it's just if you think of like a
creepy old cemetery. You could probably wander around in this
place for hours, just you know, just looking and remembering.
And we saw the we went to Fort Sumter, but
we also at that graveyard the crew from the USS Huntley,
one of the old school submarines. They're all, you know,

(08:16):
they're all buried there. So we just kind of spent
some time wandering around, you know, just you know, looking
at things in there, and you know it. Went fishing
with family and went to a place called Botany Bay.
If you ever go back out there, Chris, there's a
you go. It's like an hour and fifteen minutes south
of south of Charleston. But it's a wildlife preservation.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
Well, the beach.

Speaker 10 (08:39):
It's on Edisto Island. The beach is called Boneyard Beach.
And there's trees, I mean, just like whole You think
of driftwoods like little branches and stuff. Yeah, well, when
the tide goes out, it's just I don't know, man,
a mile or mile and a half or so of
just full trees like all just scattered out on the beach.
Coolest thing of average ever seen. And the shells. There's

(09:03):
a fine for taking shells. You can't take anything, shells, artifacts, driftwood,
nothing like that. So you know they got this big
comp shells all over the place.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
And uh, just a rule. It's just different.

Speaker 10 (09:15):
You know, you think you go out of the beach
and you just see a bunch of sun bathers and sand, right, Well,
I mean.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
Just whole huge trees everywhere. It's just we had you know,
we had a lot of fun.

Speaker 10 (09:24):
Yeah, you know, busy, busy, busy went to cousins, soccer games,
baseball games, fish fries, you know, it was fantastic hanging
out with a family. So on the way back we
basically it was almost like we followed the trail of
smoke on the way back, all the way down I
twenty from you know, Columbia, all the way to all

(09:46):
the way to Birmingham. It was like every I don't know,
fifty miles or so, you'd see this big plume of
smoke coming out of the forest and it was just
it was crazy. And so when we got home, Sarah's like,
I wonder if the pallen started falling yet. I'm all
we started talking about pollen. Well, uh, get unloaded. Before
I pull the car in the garage, I just get
my little electric blower and I'm blowing our battery operated

(10:07):
blower and I'm blowing out the garage. And as soon
as I hit the driveway, it was just like this
yellow cloud of smoke that came up off the driveway.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
I was like, yep, there's a palling yeah.

Speaker 5 (10:19):
Really just I mean, in the last like three days,
it was like the first of the week, it wasn't
that much. And then by the time we got to
about Wednesday, it's like, oh yeah, the pollen's real. I
made it hit and it's just been falling nigh and nothing.
We got a little you know, chances of rain the
next couple of days and then a storm coming in Monday,
so that'll knock down a little bit of it. We

(10:40):
always say, oh man, I sure do weis should rains
it knock down the pollen, When it only knocks it
down for like a right after that, it basically just
washes off everything that's got a coat on it.

Speaker 10 (10:50):
And then and if it doesn't rain enough, it's just
a yellow slurry exactly.

Speaker 5 (10:54):
So yeah, it's it's spring man.

Speaker 10 (10:57):
And I fell into the trap, Chris. We were on
the home stretch, you know what I'm saying. We turned
onto Highway eleven. You know, I'm driving. I'm like, man,
I hope my grass is green. When I pull up
into the into the end of the neighborhood and I
pull up to my driveway, I'm like, uh, just about.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
As brown as it was when I left.

Speaker 10 (11:15):
I fell into that trap because I mean it was
you know, I mean it was decently warm, and when
where we were it was you know, probably about the
same as here.

Speaker 5 (11:21):
So we had we had three knights here this last
week where it was you know, forty forty one degrees,
you know that Bermuda. Man, it just don't want to
wake up.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
No, it doesn't, oh Man. The Azaleas and Charleston, they
were in.

Speaker 10 (11:33):
Full killing it spectacular and uh, you know, you drive
around some areas of Birmingham, some of the older established areas,
you know, going down through Irondale, old Leech Road, Mountain Brook,
even you know, downtown Birmingham, lot in Vestavia, and you
see nice, big, pretty as ilias. But I mean everywhere
you go up there it was like, I mean there
was probably eight to ten foot as ilias all over

(11:57):
the place, just random grown out in the woods. Yeah,
Zilia's were fantastic.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
They looked great.

Speaker 5 (12:03):
Well, we were down. We started the week at Suzanne
mark Witz's house. She's over in Crestwood, little house. I
don't think she's lived there long. I don't. I didn't
ask her, but she got North Carolina tags on her course,
so you know, she probably just moved down here. But

(12:24):
when she moved in, she moved into a house that
was just the backyard was neglected, and she paid somebody
to come in there and just cut everything down, and
I guess reclaimed the whole backyard, and then we came
in after that and putting new shrubs all the way
across the front of the house. She really didn't have
much amount of shrubs in the front, maybe three or

(12:45):
four bushes. We snatched all that stuff up, put her
in some nice new low maintenance shrubs. In the backyard
against the fence, we put in some butterfly bush and
some limelight hydranges and stuff like that. So we knocked
that one out and U put up lighting on the house.
Uh she got a little patio in the back and

(13:07):
we put a like lights, the light up the pathway
going down to it. So I knocked that out and
then from there, now you the Azalias and Crestwood are
blooming pretty good. But from there we left from there
and went to uh Lee and Robin Mansfield and then
they're down in North Park, like right Ralph Hugh Daniel

(13:28):
Drive and uh, sweet couple. They they and their gardeners too.
I mean they're they're you know, pretty particular about their
gardens and stuff like that. But it was really a
nice job. We built a little built a little flu
in the back in the back corner of the of
the driveway, lights and flagstone and seamen and those in

(13:51):
wasn't that big. It was like six by fifteen something
like that.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
It's just a shady spot. Grass really wouldn't grow that well.

Speaker 10 (13:57):
And then the water all just flowed right off off
of that one corner of the driveway.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
Probably them up for long care.

Speaker 5 (14:03):
Probably a combination of the water washing it out and
the tree roots and just everything in the shade and
everything and above. It just wasn't growing grass right there.
And so now the water will run down our concrete
are flexed on way and it'll be fine. And remotched
everything for them, added a few shrubs, took in an

(14:25):
area that used to be grass and it wasn't growing
grass good, probably about probably about eight feet, you know,
by the length of it, and then relayed some saw it.
They had a couple of trees taken down, and we
saw it over that so knocked that one out. So
we've been busy, man, I tell you, we are covered
up and we enjoy it. You know, this time of year.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
You said when you came in this morning, you were whooped.

Speaker 5 (14:49):
I am lying that I feel like I went to
bed at two, you know, and I just was forced
to get up.

Speaker 10 (14:56):
At six forty. I've been up since four am. I
think the whole hank of time change kind of messed
me up.

my farm burned down to the ground. I called Russ
that afternoon, and the next morning I had an adjuster

a little foggy, but the way I tell the story

Speaker 12 (20:09):
I ain't cut up to climb highline poles, but I'm
pretty good at digging holes.

Speaker 2 (20:20):

If you want to give us a calls two O
five seven to two and Chris, Man, we've been busy.
Don't run off like that again. I must scold you.

Speaker 10 (20:39):
Oh, don't you worry, man, I'm gonna be going sun
up to sundown next week.

Speaker 5 (20:43):
Listen, man, you know, you know I know that.

Speaker 10 (20:46):
While I was out or head technician Casey, he stepped up.
You know, he was doing sales and in amongst everything else.
Because there's there's a lot of stuff going on in
the yard right now, especially especially weeds. You know, if
you haven't done any premier or if you relate to
this late to the late to the game, uh last fall.
You know, right now everything is starting to just really

(21:08):
pop and really grow, you know, weed pressure. Over the
next like six to eight weeks, it's gonna be just
I mean, it's gonna be it's gonna be super high
with with weeds germinating, you know, and then weeds that
have already germinated. So you've got poanna henbit, bittercress, Queen
Anne's lace, you know. You know our wild carrot field, matter,

(21:30):
burn weed, horse weed, there's a there's a there's a
plethora or weeds that that are gonna be growing like crazy.
But your grass is not right and so like you
don't know, you don't have to cut your grass right now,
other than if you if you haven't scalped it, you
need to go ahead and do that. But uh, you know,
for those people who have just kind of let the
yard go to the wayside, right now, weeds are gonna

(21:51):
be growing like crazy, So you gotta make sure to
stay on top of the mowing. You got to come
in and you've got to spray those things out. You know,
we'd free zone is a great one that we sell
at our garden center. We use that same particular product
on a lot of weeds in our lawnsirt on on
our lawn service. But uh long hair is the name
of the game, you know, moving moving forward. Got to

(22:11):
stay on top of everything.

Speaker 5 (22:13):
For sure, pre emergency key, I mean right now. You
know people say I've heard everything from Chris. When the
Forsythia starts blaming, that means crabgrass is driving. February right,
so that's a month or you know, you hear other
people say, oh, when the dog woods are blooming, that
means crabgrass is driven. There's a big gap between when
the forcythia starts blooming and when the dog would start blaming.

(22:35):
The dog would just started regardless. If you got your
pre emerging out between the fcythia blooming and the dog
woods blooming, you're good to go. If you wait till
pass that, then you're probably gonna have a little crab
grass like that. You need to jump on there.

Speaker 10 (22:49):
Between the forcythia and the uh and the dog wood.
You know, hey, it's like driving down the road. You
got the yellow and the white. You stay between the
yellow and the white, and you're good.

Speaker 5 (22:58):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
How about that? I like it.

Speaker 10 (23:00):
Don't go out, don't go outside of those lines, or
you might be in trouble. I got I like it.

Speaker 5 (23:05):
Whether Paula starts falling, you better already have you premurging out? Oh?

Speaker 2 (23:09):
I like it? Oh man?

Speaker 10 (23:11):
So yeah, So you know we'd control huge this time
of year. You know, I was talking about falling into
that trap. Uh, you know, wanting my yard to be
green because you know, gosh, we got home yesterday and
it was like eighty degrees outside. You know, it's fantastic weather.
Azelias are blooming, dogwoods are blooming. Everything's coming back to life.

(23:32):
But you know, grass won't start hitting its prime until,
like we get hot, and we're a long way from that.
You know, all through April, nighttime temperatures are still going
to be cold.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
Most of May. You know, there's gonna be pleasant, you know,
in May.

Speaker 10 (23:48):
But by the time we start getting you know, towards
the end of the towards the end of May, our
nighttime temperatures are going to start creeping up consistently into
the mid sixties and low seventies. And and by the
time we get there, that's when the grass is really
going to start coming on strong. Until then, it's just
gonna kind of, you know, hang out, not.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
Do a whole lot. It's going to struggle.

Speaker 10 (24:10):
I printed this off Chris, because I know I've got
I've got one gentleman, and I'm gonna meet the beginning
of the week, and he kind of says the same
things that, man, my grass just sitting green. It hadn't
shown any progress over the last week or from like,
you know, mid March to today. And so I went
on to the Weather Channel basically or what National Weather

(24:30):
Service and printed off the recorded temperatures for Birmingham, Alabama.
And the average low temperature for the month of March
was forty four degrees forty four point seven degrees. And
that's cold.

Speaker 5 (24:44):
That's cold.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
That's jacket weather.

Speaker 5 (24:46):
That's super cold for Bermuda grass and all.

Speaker 10 (24:48):
This Bermuda Zoisia, Saint Augustine sentip, this is all tropical stuff.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
Man, it likes it hot, it likes it human.

Speaker 5 (24:55):
Right, So you got the average lows, yep, all right?
What was the average high?

Speaker 10 (24:58):
Average high was seven degrees right, seventy point one degrees
all right, So.

Speaker 5 (25:02):
I'm not gonna do the math, but seventy and forty four.
Somewhere in between tween is something like sixty degrees.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
Yeah, yeah, at the ground. May look at that.

Speaker 10 (25:11):
Look at that for shooting from the fifty seven point
four that's the that's the average temperature for the month
of March. That's taken the average between the average high
and the average low. That's the average temper all right.

Speaker 5 (25:23):
Bermuda and zoyas of grass do not want to grow
until the ground temperature gets eighty degrees. There you go,
we have thirty degrees from there even all right, that's
that's where you're gonna that's where you need to be.
So that's that's like, gum, I'm.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
Gonna print this off of I'm gonna print this off.

Speaker 10 (25:40):
At the end of every month, Chris and we'll have
we'll have a discussion about.

Speaker 5 (25:43):
Well by the time all right, so by the time
we get to the third I'm gonna spitball it. By
the time we get to the first week of June,
second week of June, we'll be right there. Yep, we'll
be seventy seven degrees. I'm just gonna say average by
the time.

Speaker 10 (26:01):
Into seventy I'm writing it down. Seventy seven degrees second
week of June. Second week of June.

Speaker 5 (26:07):
All right, we'll see how close I am. And when
you get to there, you're gonna be like, dang, my
yard looks good now, I'm just hearing you.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
And then by the time so that's the second week
of juneish get.

Speaker 5 (26:19):
By the time August goes around, god.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
I'm so sick of cutting grass.

Speaker 10 (26:24):
So basically, what you're saying is you got July and
two weeks of June where we're pleased with the grass,
because before that it's not green enough. After that we're sick.
We're pleased for about for about a month, five six
weeks roughly.

Speaker 5 (26:43):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
Yeah, that's how it goes.

Speaker 5 (26:45):
And then man, by October we want that stuff go
do so.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
Bad and it's still it's still eighty.

Speaker 10 (26:53):
So that's one, you know, temperatures huge, you know, with
with turf grass. And that's a conversation that I'll have
probably over and over again, you know, over the over
the next couple of months, because I'm just as impatient
as anybody else. I just told y'all that, I mean,
it's not even it's not even April and I'm wanting
my grass to be fully green when I come back
from vacation.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
It just don't happen. And then, you know, just patience.

Speaker 10 (27:17):
You know, I don't care whether you've been on a
long care program for fifteen twenty years or whether you're
new to the game. You know, you just got to
have patience with things, especially for newer customers. So even
even people that signed up, you know, like last fall,
as we approach and move through the spring, you know,

(27:37):
you're still going to have some weeds that pop up
from time to time you have to cycle through. So
if you sign up on a long care program, now
we typically tell people and we email them this when
they sign up that that before we feel that we
have great weed control, it's about it's about a full year,
about twelve months, right, yeah, because you have to cycle

(27:58):
through all these different all these different weeds. You know,
you've got perennial weeds that uh you know, that grow
and and emerge in the yard during certain times of
the year. So if you start, you know, if you
start a weed control program in the in the fall
or in the in the spring, you're going to have
perennial weeds that kind of come to light and surface

(28:19):
in the summer. Well, you can't kill those until they
actually pop up and you're able to spray them. And
then you also have annual weeds, So perennial weeds basically
come back every year. Annual annual weeds come up one year,
they leave seeds, and then that weed itself dies, so
they kind of complete their life cycle in one year.

(28:41):
Some annual weeds aren't really affected by pre mergent because
they germinate in the thatch layer of the soil, and
pre mergent is actually in the dirt itself. So you've
got stuff like filled matter is one that's pretty common
this time of year. You know, we'll start to see
some horse weed and burn with your little bitty baby
succulent weeds. Premergent is not great on keeping those at bay,

(29:06):
but they're super easy to kill. So even if you're
even if you've been on a long care program forever,
you know it's it's not one hundred percent.

Speaker 5 (29:14):
There's a handful of weeds. Yeah, just but you got
a spring pain in the butt.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
Yes, that's it.

Speaker 10 (29:19):
And especially you know if you've got areas that are
shady that maybe experience some wash, you know that get
damaged like last you know, last fall, man we were
we were scorched. Man yards took an absolute beating. Uh
during that drought. Well there's areas that are gonna still
be thin and damaged because of that, and you'll have
some weed breakthrough.

Speaker 5 (29:38):
And I mean we were severely dry through November, December,
January too. I mean we really didn't we didn't have
adequate rainfall even this winter. You know, our reservoirs didn't
get fulled on March. Yeah, so uh, you know, and
that takes a tuble on plants. And we always say,
you know, and and grass too, because you think, well,

(29:59):
it's doing it's all right. Well, no, it's not necessarily
the case because even though it's going dormant and all
that stuff, it's still got to have a certain amount
of moisture. And uh, you know, you take people that
even did landscaping last fall and they were on top
of it pretty good until it went dormant. And then
you know, we get around to the spring and you know,

(30:22):
the plants aren't coming out like this as well. I mean,
you didn't get any rain through November, you didn't get
any rain through December to amount to anything, and uh.
You know, so it's one of those things where, yeah,
it goes dormant, but there's got to be some moisture
involved still. You know, it can't It might be once
a week, but there's still got to be some Those.

Speaker 10 (30:42):
Plants are well scalping Mayord. Three weeks ago it was
like a dust storm. Yeah, out there mowing and hey,
we're going back to this. This National Weather Service deal
inches of rain. The normal amount of rain that we
get in March for Birmingham is five point one five inches,
and as as of this morning, I was down here
at like four thirty prince stuff off. As of this morning,

(31:05):
it was three point eighty six inches of rain.

Speaker 5 (31:08):
Yep. So I mean, you know, so the rain that's
coming in this weekend is gonna put us about average. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
Yeah, so you know, we've been a little dry this winter, but.

Speaker 5 (31:17):
This March, so, I mean it seems like we kind
of turned the table turned a little bit around the
mid February to March timeframe or whatever, and we've kind
of played ketch up a little bit. You're never when
you get at the drought, all right, You're never gonna
catch up from the water that you lost.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
I mean, like if you what's done is done.

Speaker 5 (31:36):
If you take one of these years where we're super dry,
you know, and where you're like twenty eight are twenty
inches blow normal kind of thing are worse? Then uh,
you know you take you can't go for the next
three months and get twenty inches and make up the
difference that all that water, all it does is hit
the ground and flow to the gulf. Right, So you know,

(31:57):
we got a song about it, exactly, Chris. Let's take
another break or number if you want to call us
as two O five four three nine nine three seven two.
We're just talking a lot of garden and we'd love
to have your input again as two O five four
three nine nine three seven two, and we'll be right back.

Speaker 7 (32:14):
It's the Classic Gardens and Landscape Show. Get advice from
two of the South's premier plant guys, Chris Joiner and

Reagan National Airport.

Speaker 14 (32:34):
Friday's event between a commercial plane and an Air Force
T thirty eight jet happened just after Delta Flight twenty
three eighty nine took off for Minneapolis. Fortunately, the Delta
Jet received a cockpit collision warning alert and air traffic
controllers were able to issue corrective instructions.

Speaker 13 (32:51):
Fox's Carmen Roberts, Vice President Vance is back in DC
after a trip to Greenland. Yesterday, he spoke at a
Space four space where he claimed Greenland would be safer
under the US protection.

Speaker 15 (33:01):
We respect the self determination of the people of Greenland,
but my argument again to them is I think that
you'd be a lot better having coming under the United
States security umbrella than you have been under Denmark security umbrella.

Speaker 13 (33:15):
The Vice President's trip to Greenland scaled back after protests
in Greenland and in Denmark about it is listening.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
To Fox News, Let's just let your returns next week
after a break. Jim Faride with the story.

Republican former state representative Paul DeMarco telling JT on Alabama's
Morning News.

Speaker 4 (33:38):
They're hope going to reduce another penny of the grocery
tax and hopefully get rid of it completely. Makes some
changes to the income tax. So I think that's what
we're seeing. It all goes back to Donald Trump and
Washington Marco Sands.

Speaker 3 (33:47):
Lawmakers could also take up a controversial criminal justice measure.

Speaker 5 (33:51):
Get ten years for murder.

Speaker 4 (33:52):
Hopefully that will be defeated as talk about gambling may
come back up. Most importantly going to pass the budgets,
but there's still a lot that has to be done.

Speaker 1 (33:59):

You've 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 Caboda 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 Kboda. Blunt
County Tractor established nineteen forty seven and Josh Fallen in

(34:48):
Auniana is where I go six two five, five three
eight one. A family run business, Josh and his wife
Addie Newture a growing business. 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.

(35:10):
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. 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

(35:31):
Z seven two six X. It's a beast and you
cannot stop it. Blunt County Tractor also has a complete
line of any attachment you might need for your tractor.

your landscape and stuff. A lot of people over the
years that are do it yourselfers. They come in the
guard and say they bring pictures in there, and the
girls are real good about, you know, looking at it.
And if you bring some pictures, I have literally just

(38:26):
on somebody's picture, just draw a new landscape over the
top of their picture of their house, and you know,
selling the shrubs to go in there and redo it theirself.
So we do it all the time.

Speaker 10 (38:38):
All everything in stock. For the tomato program. I know
a lot of people have been really itching to get
the vegetables going. And we've had tomatoes for probably two
weeks now, and you know, temperatures look.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
Pretty good, right.

Speaker 10 (38:50):
I mean, you might have to ad we're still going
to have some cold temperatures where you might have to
come in and cover a few things up here and there.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
But uh man, it's time to grow.

Speaker 5 (39:00):
Dad ran a turning plow through my garden yesterday. So
what I'm gonna do one day next week, I'm bringing
that little machine to the house with that tiller head
on it, and I'm gonna till that thing up and
then I'm gonna be ready to drop some seed next weekend.
Uh Kevin Rankin's daughter, Gracie yep is getting married.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
Man, how about that?

Speaker 5 (39:17):
I remember when she was a baby, right, She's getting
married next weekend. So I won't be dropping seed on Saturday.
I bet Sunday. Sunday, I bet Sunday. I'm gonna be
sending some to the dirt.

Speaker 10 (39:29):
So before we left, me and the girls took a
bunch of empty flats and solo cups and stuff, and
they wanted to plant some seeds, and I forget what
all they Caroline did some corn and a bunch of
solo cups, and some onions and some squash.

Speaker 2 (39:42):
And carrots and various other things.

Speaker 10 (39:45):
And you know, I was basically we had them kind
of stacked up in the wheelbarrow, so I would wheel
them in and out of the garage.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
You know, at night, i'd bring him in and during
the day I'd roll them out in the driveway in
the sun.

Speaker 10 (39:55):
And everything got kind of swamp when we were going
out of town because I left the wheelbear outside and uh,
one of those rains.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
Filled it about halfway up. Say everything's underwater.

Speaker 5 (40:07):
Yeah, we got a gully water about a week.

Speaker 10 (40:09):
There are some corn that there's about a dozen sprigs
of corn that came up, and some uh and some
uh some onions, so little onion.

Speaker 5 (40:17):
So a dozen a dozen sprigs of corn times like
say two to three years of the stall hene.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
I mean that ain't bad, you know what I mean.

Speaker 5 (40:26):
That's right.

Speaker 10 (40:26):
I got some mushroom composts and some old coast of
main soil and stuff. I'm gona till up right right
at the end of my driveway and girls are gonna
have a little garden right there. I've got a raised
garden and we're fixing plants. Some potatoes in there. Has
I had a sack of potatoes and there's some sprouting
some of Just tellgirls, i'm section off an area.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
But there you go. Plant potatoes right there. Potatoes are
cool to grow. I like. I like grumb potatoes.

Speaker 5 (40:49):
Yeah, it's a little late, it is.

Speaker 2 (40:52):
It is, but that's why I'm sec I'm just sectioning
off an area like I got. We'll probably be able
to harvest some little, some little bitty one.

Speaker 5 (41:00):
I had somebody the other day ask me if it
was too late to grow collars, and I said, no, man,
if you think about it, so your collars really start
growing good, Like like I plant mine in the fall,
you know, so like the first day of September. It's
like if you wait three weeks longer than that, you
waited too long. It's the same way with broccoli, Like

(41:21):
if you don't play at your brocki like day one September,
you know it's it's not gonna make before you get
one of those real hard freezes. And broccoli and like
turnip greens, they don't take a heavy frieze like collars do. Man,
collars are tough. They'll just keep growing and bloyeah, I
mean they might, they might, you know, kind of will

(41:42):
looking a little bit when you get one of those
nights where it's fifteen degrees, you know, but everything else
gets fried and your college just perk right back up.
I meane up the other day and gave them to
a buddy of mine, like six whole plants. Yeah, they're
like big as a whole grocer set Chris's collars and

(42:03):
they were awesome. But anyway, so.

Speaker 2 (42:04):
Corn is gonna be that way this year. And tomatoes,
oh you, and squash.

Speaker 5 (42:08):
It's coming and I can taste some fried squash, yes sir,
and that uh.

Speaker 2 (42:14):
You do you don't do? Okrah?

Speaker 10 (42:15):
Do you?

Speaker 2 (42:17):
Chris Is that a sore spot?

Speaker 5 (42:20):
Yeah, it is. So I would grow some okra, and
I love okra.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
Oh I bet the deer of the rabbit would smoke
it down.

Speaker 5 (42:26):
No, Teresa won't cook it. Oh she don't like fried okre,
so she don't cook fried okra. So I don't grow it.
Oh well I needed to gross you.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
Your mom and dad won't use it for something.

Speaker 5 (42:40):
List and they've gotten the Hey, mom and dad, they
got plenty of garden. They don't need no help.

Speaker 10 (42:47):
Oh listen, we're talking about Chris Keith's garden, not your
not your parents.

Speaker 5 (42:50):
Oh no, now, like everybody, everybody that I know has
a garden. Yeah. But yeah, they called me up, said Chris,
I need a whole tread to mate the plants, you know,
like squirrel. He'll hit me up. He like he's got
a garden for like his like so he his brother
lives here, and his mom lives r out here, and

(43:10):
he lives rut here there. The whole family lives on
this piece of property. So they make a garden. It's
like a half an acre, you know. And then they
go out there and pick everything and do all of
can to maade us and do all that stuff. You know,
he grew up like that and and that. You know,
they just grow a humongous garden. So when he gets
ready for something, he's like, all right, Chris, bring me

(43:31):
like a whole trail of tomade of plants. And you
know he wants determine it to mats. That way, you
know he can can them. So they all come in
all the time, you know, and uh so they'll plant those.
I always plant and determined in mine they you know,
I had tomatoes from Lord last year from June then
a June.

Speaker 2 (43:51):
To frost, you know, a freeze.

Speaker 5 (43:54):
I kept him. I kept mine water pretty good though.
I cheat, though.

Speaker 2 (43:58):
I got a pretty good here, you know, God that does.

Speaker 5 (44:03):
I'm about, yeah, I'm about to make it better. So
what I did. I just put ball valves in there
so I could just go out there and turn them
on or whatever. But I got me a little irrigation
controller now that it's like a four zone controller, and
I'm gonna put that in the barn and rub me
a wire out there and have it where it's automatic. Seriously,

(44:25):
it's about to go to the next level. I enjoy
it though, and you know, I could probably give away
two thirds of what I grow, you know, except for
my corner, well that's touchy subject. Everything else, you know,
I give a lot of it away, you know, I'll
probably I mean, by the time you put out, you know,

(44:48):
nine hells of squash. You know, by the time you
put up about twenty bags and eat all you want,
you're pretty much good to go. And if it's still
sitting there. Making see a lot of people when you
get into squash or like q curb its like you know,
cucumbers and squash or anything like that's bad about getting

(45:10):
like pumpkins, any of that stuff like that. It's bad
about getting uh squashed, bores in it, and usually about
the time you squash it, just really humping it, you'll
see them start wilting and dying. You can't figure out
what's going on. But if you look at the stems
on those those squash bors is laid by a moth
or you know, they laid by an insect, and they

(45:31):
lay their eggs on that thing. It hatches out and
then it bores into the trunk of the plant and
kills it. But I put some stuff on the garden
that kills those things. And my squash literally lasted like
four months. Wow, and nobody does that.

Speaker 2 (45:46):
No, I gave up squash years ago because of that.
Your secret.

Speaker 5 (45:50):
We've got some stuff in the garden center. It works
real good. Yeah, just come see as you'll. If you're
having trouble with squash bores, I can fix you right
on the no problem, Chris.

Speaker 2 (46:00):
He's the man with a plan.

Speaker 5 (46:01):
Yep. And I tell you. And I was talking to
Robin and Lee down in the North Park the other
day and she said, oh yeah, man, she said, I
put the mill organize out, you know, so I guess
she was listening to me, and I was like, man,
you're paraking a little mill organite out there, because man,
you know, the deer down there horrible. And she's putting
mill organized around everything, and men, her high drain is

(46:23):
just coming out and pretty as all get out, and
you know, no deer touching it.

Speaker 10 (46:29):
Uh repel the deer and fertilized plants at the same time.

Speaker 5 (46:33):
That's it can't beat that totally natural. So it's you know,
you don't have to worry about it. You know, if
you're one of the organic people, that's a fantastic as
organic as a gift, that's right, it sure is. You
put it on your grass in the summertime, it'll make
it ten shades green.

Speaker 10 (46:47):
Yeah, especially if you have Cinti, Peter Saint Augustine. You
get into you know, June, July August time frame and
you want to fertilize it, it's looking a little puny.

Speaker 2 (46:55):
Come in there with some mill organize.

Speaker 10 (46:57):
Oh man, my brother in law, it smells earthy, you know,
but man it we get that blended in with a
lot of the fertilizers that we use, yeah, and our
fertilization program because it's a source of iron for the grass.

Speaker 2 (47:09):

the full amount of the policy. If it didn't happen
