It is John. You're right, it's Ato six. It's Ato
six live. If you're watching us live, listening to us live. However,
it could be any other time of the day or night,
which means the time doesn't really matter. But anyway, we
are broadcasting live from Thank you, John Is.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
This is this kind of a rough starter, just kind
of a stumbling out of the gates.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
We don't play music anymore, that's right. So this is
our end.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
It's cut and dry. So let's start over again. Take two.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Welcome to Garden America. I'm Brian Made along with John
Beg Nasco, Tiger Pella Fox. We are broadcasting once again
for the second straight week from Tiger's palacious backyard here
in a certain section of San Diego, California.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
It's today's section.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Well, if I said benda vista to oh Sarah mesa, yeah.

Speaker 4 (00:43):
And but he knows what that means, right Like that
is a random.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
It is somebody somebody in let's let's say, uh, Tanya
and San Jose.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
That would be nothing to her or who else?

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Uh, who's our who's our friend in Tucson, Tucson Garden Club.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Come on, guys, this is a test.

Speaker 4 (01:03):
Kim oh sorry, okay, I was I was catching my hiccup.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
No exactly, So welcome to the show. It's good to
have you long. We've got a lot going on. We've
got food for you. We've got some Plumria flowers.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
We've got hummingbirds everywhere. Hummingbirds everywhere. Yeah, I know.

Speaker 5 (01:25):
I love how they just kind of sit up in
the trees too and watch us for a minute and
then flutter off.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
I should you know what? I should send you that picture.
You can put it a good pic, you could post it.
I took a picture of a hummingbird on top of
one of Tiger's banana trees.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
I believe it was not a giumph or was it?

Speaker 4 (01:40):
I think it was.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Was it a bird of paradise?

Speaker 3 (01:42):
I think so, but I'm not positive they all.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Blend together they do. Anyway, we got that, we got
the thumbs up for the audio.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
I've been working. We were tireless for the show.

Speaker 5 (01:53):
I've been working really hard on making uh this whole
connection thing work. I learned a lot this week, and
you know, fingers crossed, we're gonna have a great show.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
You do, by the way, so kudos to Tiger for doing.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
That all that time, wanstaf for you a minor correction.
Oh sure, Yeah. She said that she's lived in Elkoholne
and Santee for three years, so she has an idea
where things are.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
So you're what you're telling me is that she has
an inkling.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
No, I don't know about an inkling.

Speaker 5 (02:18):
Oh hey, Kevin's joining us, Your buddy Kevin, and he
was in San Diego last week.

Speaker 4 (02:24):
Did you make it to the Rego?

Speaker 3 (02:25):
No?

Speaker 1 (02:25):
No, I In fact, I didn't even know that it
was happening, kind of a last minute thing. So he
was a class of seventy four. This was class of
seventy five last weekend, which we all know everybody anyway,
So is he's back in courtlane right now?

Speaker 4 (02:37):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (02:37):
I just all I joined, so I'm assuming he's joining
from quarterline.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
But we'll see. I'm really impressed with the the uh
tropical influence in your garden right now. Yeah right, you
said the weather's been cooperating with high humidity, and we
had some rain.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Yeah you had the big rain we had. We had
dribs and drowned.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
But tigers plumery are the nicest I've seen just about anywhere. Well,
Look at that plate he's got sitting in front of
him with higbiscus and plumeria.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
That's defeat his giant monitor lizard.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
I have one problem. Let me show John. Hold on
one second, you guys.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Talk talk while you're gone field time. Show me his problem,
just kind of exactly. And it's gonna be a plumaria problem,
I think as he's over there digging around.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Oh it's a leaf. H Let's see if it's the
same problem I have with mine.

Speaker 5 (03:38):
That is that spider mind looks like Spider Man. Spider Man, right.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
Yeah, absolutely is spider Man.

Speaker 5 (03:45):
Yeah, it's only on one, and it's the crazy thing
about all of them. No plant, okay, but as you
can see, that plant is very close to many others,
so I'm I'm happy it's only on that one.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
Right now, What did you feed that plant with?

Speaker 5 (04:03):
The same I have like this, like liquid fertilizer, organic
liquid fertilizer, So it's the same that I did all
the other ones with. But yeah, this one's got spider
mites on it, so I got to figure out how
that I'm gonna treat those. But not it's it's just
it's just weird to me that it's only that one

(04:23):
plant compared to all the rest, because as you can see,
they're all pretty close. You would think you would think
if one got it right, and I'm.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Glad ibiscus are next to it and they don't have it.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Is this a silly analogy? If you if we were
together and you had a cold.

Speaker 4 (04:37):
And you were doesn't guarantee you're gonna get one exactly.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
John might get it, but I might not get And.

Speaker 5 (04:41):
I think that's where John was going with, what did
I feed this one right compared to the other ones,
because obviously this one can't fight it fight it off,
where the other ones maybe are right.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
Yeah, so, and sometimes different varieties of the same plant
they have different suscept abilities to disease, like roses. You know,
some roses get black spots and others don't. Yeah, you know,
depending on what their background was. So there's been so

(05:11):
much breeding in Plumeria, I imagine the same thing could
be there. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
How many Plumeria plants do you have.

Speaker 5 (05:17):
Like actual plants of variety? You have more than a
dozen actual plants? Actual plants?

Speaker 4 (05:22):
Oh yeah, I have way more than a dozen plants.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
How many varieties?

Speaker 5 (05:27):
Let's see here, one two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen,
fourteen fifty.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
And that's just the ritings.

Speaker 4 (05:36):
I have probably about seventeen eighteen varieties.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
Yeah, yeah, that's a lot. That is a lot.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
It's nowhere, it's nowhere.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
Here.

Speaker 5 (05:45):
Thousands roses, yes, two hundred, right, I don't have.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
I don't have. I have hardly any plume area.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
Yeah, but you have thousands of roses? I have four.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
Okay, here's a question for John, to be technically correct,
hundreds of roses, not thousands. Here's I do have over
a thousand.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Same question for John. How many roses roughly do you have?

Speaker 3 (06:07):
Roughly sixteen hundred? Okay, ye, seventeen. Here's the next question.
How many varieties do you have? Sixteen hundred? Yeah, he
always has one of these. You always have one of each,
except again, except for the auction that's coming up. You know,
those are all doubles.

Speaker 4 (06:22):
Yeah, he doesn't count those as part of his collection.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
Right, So there's there's about two hundreds that'll be in
the auction.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
And do you do you factor in your seedlings every
once in a while, like when it makes it, when
it makes makes it past stage three, is it I.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
Come, I haven't counted any seedlings in the number. Yeah,
I still have fifty seedlings. I'm evaluating though.

Speaker 5 (06:45):
Hey, have you ever seen a Plumeria seed, Brian, you
know what they look like?

Speaker 2 (06:53):
I might have, But no, off the top of my head,
I don't long.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
Like fingers kind of a thing. You never seen that.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
No, they grow easily from seed.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
They grow very yeah, very well plants to.

Speaker 4 (07:04):
Grow right, Yeah, uh, what do you mean?

Speaker 1 (07:07):
Well, I mean you said they grow from seed. I
mean I mean like if the average person could plant
it and would probably do well, there's nothing special.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
That you need to do.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
I think.

Speaker 5 (07:15):
So Plumeri is seed. Yeah, I mean just you know,
it should be easy to grow from seed. But you
know what I was kind of, you know, getting out
was the same thing that John does, where he has
these seedlings that he starts and sees.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
What comes comes from.

Speaker 5 (07:29):
Those seedlings is always kind of interesting and kind of
Plumeri's fall in that same little group where you'll get
varieties from those seedlings as well. But but the difference
is Plumeris don't seed every year like the You don't
always get seeds from the plant. I don't know what
triggers on where you are. Yeah, I don't know what triggers.

(07:52):
They do get seeds every.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
Year, I would think so, yeah, but I'm discussing. Yeah,
I don't really know.

Speaker 5 (07:57):
Because I don't see seeds produce on my plants every year.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
But if you ever looked at when we go to
the Plume Area show, yeah, you see new colors and
stripes and all different things, and they're pretty expensive. And
the reason they're expensive is just what you're saying. You
get a new plume area and you've got that plant.
So if anybody wants to have it anywhere in the world,

(08:25):
it's got to be cuttings off that plant.

Speaker 5 (08:27):
Right, which which then you've got to grow it right
and then you know, and.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
Now they do graft plumeria and some I think most
of that grafting is done. They might do some here,
but most of it's done in Thailand and places like
that to get them to grow a little faster.

Speaker 5 (08:43):
Yeah, but even then, you you know, you still have
to grow out this plant, which takes the time. So
I imagine you know, you're years into production before you
can actually start selling plants of plume area. Because the
roses you talk about, like you know, number one. Sometimes
you say they blew before they have leaves, you know,
and then you know.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
Don't bloom before they what are you talking about?

Speaker 4 (09:08):
You know they bloom real quick for you though.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
From seed they bloom in about six eight weeks.

Speaker 5 (09:13):
That's what I'm saying, Maria, don't bloom in that like
you're not. You know, when you grow up from seed,
you're not going to see that bloom.

Speaker 4 (09:20):
Maybe even the first year, you know.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
Oh yeah, yeah, it could be two to three years.

Speaker 4 (09:25):
Before you see the flower that it develops.

Speaker 5 (09:27):
Yeah, So you know, it's just fun to you know,
when when you when you like something and now it's
fun to create something right, kind of like what we're
getting at here.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
Do you have any questions or comments? What's happening with
our our Facebook phone?

Speaker 5 (09:41):
Just letting it load up? Yeah, Tanya says, I have
a seed from my spring sonic camellia. Any idea of
how to grow it? It has a very hard shell.
Have you ever grown a camelia from seed? John, I
have never purpose, even on accident.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
You have. Yeah, at the base of my at my
old house, at the base of the camellia plants, some
of the seeds fell and they germinated on their own.
But really, yeah, but I moved before they ever bloom,
so they have no idea.

Speaker 5 (10:12):
What that is impressive because that's very uncommon to see
a plant. I mean, unless it's a Washington palm. It's
very uncommon to see the plant go to seed and
then I have those plants grow up, right.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
But you know a lot of people have Bermuda grass,
it's the main weed at their house. I have WASHINGTONI exactly,
Oh my gosh, they're horrible, son.

Speaker 4 (10:38):
Any notes for Tanyan growing the chamelia.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
Well, yeah, first of all, go to YouTube and you
can YouTube powt of growl camellias from seed and I'll
show you. But she mentions that it has a hard
seed coat on it and that does have to be opened,
got it.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
I think we're going to take a break here. Coming up,
when we come back, we're going to hear John's quote

That's right. And the quote, Brian is to dig one's
own spade into one's own earth his life hand. Does

This great quote? And I do get it.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
Now you're an artic on Beverly Nichols and the new cletape.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
And now you're wondering about the picture that I want
to comment on.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
Yeah, what picture? It is?

Speaker 1 (12:07):
That picture which is above that article that you wrote, right,
that looks like where I want to spend the rest
of my life.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
And e Trinity.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
I don't know about eternity.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
Well, that's part of heaven, isn't it.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
I mean, look at that, it's just surrounded by flower
You can just you can lose yourself.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
It looks like an English garden.

Speaker 5 (12:25):
Ye remember that woman where we went to her yard
and we were it was a personal garden.

Speaker 4 (12:30):
We were in her backyard and.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
Two different levels and she had that old house.

Speaker 5 (12:36):
Uh she had this structure to keep the birds out
of her garden as well.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
I'm not sure.

Speaker 5 (12:43):
I mean there were there were with the levels, the
one where you where you took the picture of me
sitting in the grass, not that one. Do you remember
where you where you came running up the hill to
show me the kiffs Gate rods.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
I've never seen John run up a hill. What does
that look like?

Speaker 3 (13:00):
And whose house was there?

Speaker 5 (13:01):
The one that this reminds me of. Yeah, this reminds
me of. It was a personal garden.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Flowers and plants and shrubs, just like that.

Speaker 3 (13:09):
Before we went to Kisski Way before.

Speaker 4 (13:11):
I think this was one of our first or second stops.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
I thought it was the woman and she had tea
for us.

Speaker 5 (13:16):
Yes, yeah, yes she had. So you're saying that was
the house with bubbles, right, okay, yes.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
At the house had levels.

Speaker 5 (13:21):
But the guardarden, you know, yeah, in one of the
one of the areas was this very detailed and closed
garden because she had a lot of birds. That picture
reminded me of that that property.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
Do you know what that picture is? No, that that
picture is AI's interpretation of the Beverly Nichols article because
those are the plants he liked, exactly perfect. By the way,
if you do have the article, I put some links
to Beverly Nichols books that had the fact I did.
I went to the Lynx. Yeah, one of the A

(13:54):
lot of those books are around thirty forty dollars, but
there was one there that and I might be down
the garden path. I'm not sure that you can get
a used copy for nine dollars.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
The code is John B. Gardenamerica dot com. Now that
code and get twenty.

Speaker 3 (14:10):
No, no, it's just Amazon. But I love I've never
read a Beverly Nichols book I didn't like. And he
wrote a lot of books that weren't gardening books.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
Also, what else was he into? Why you said a
lot of books.

Speaker 3 (14:25):
That I'll tell you off the air all right, he was, uh.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
And that'd be for our patrons only, that will be
for our only fans pace. Exactly.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
The I think we've talked about Beverly Nichols before. He
wrote around the same time is as Vita Sackville West.
And he was not respected in England because the English
admired people who specialized in areas, and he was all

(14:59):
over the map. He was everywhere. Yeah, he was in politics.
You know, he, like you say, Brian hobnobbed with He
sure did. Yeah, a lot of the a lot of
the famous people Renaissance man. Is that what you're leaning
toward here? To some degree, he had all kinds of things. Andy.

(15:21):
He had a problem with his his dad. I think
he wrote a nasty book about his father, if I'm
not mistaken. But yeah, it's just just amazing what he
was into. But every everything I've written by him or
read by him was really interesting. And I think, you know,
it's the kind his books are. Garden books are the

(15:44):
kind of books that you'll be reading and then you
just burst out laughing.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
You know why he wrote that his dad that nasty.
They didn't have a good relationship because he was He
named him Beverly it's like a boy named you have
to go through life with that name, you know, and
you're gonna get beat up now and then.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
And I think that's what it was.

Speaker 3 (16:04):
Yeah, wasn't the guy that played music for Billy Graham
George Beverly's Sha.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
Yes, exactly, who'd been with uh with uh Billy Graham
since the forties.

Speaker 3 (16:17):
Yeah, but at least that was his middle name exactly. Yeah, Yeah,
George's George's.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
That makes up for it. But yeah, Beverly Nichols. In fact,
I think John, for a long time, you back in
the day, you spoke of Beverly Nichols before I and
I just assumed it was a woman, right, And at
some point, I don't know, months later, I made reference
to that and John goes, it's a it's a guy,
it's a man.

Speaker 3 (16:39):
Yeah. I think his middle name was Susan.

Speaker 4 (16:41):
I still forget. I still forget that.

Speaker 5 (16:44):
I've I've been told that a number of times, and
I still forget when I hear Beverly.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
I just I don't know. I never grew up.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
You know.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
There's a lot of names to go back and forth.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
Dane.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
It can be either way, Riley can be either way.
Jamie can be either way.

Speaker 4 (16:57):
Beverly's Beverly's straight. As for as usually it's a girl's name.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
I just call me BEV for short, yea Bev? What's
BEV short for? Just just call me Bev.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
If you read one of his books, she'll never never
wonder again, just because you relate to him, you know,
and it's you would like his books, Tiger, I'll have to.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
What is he late eighteen hundreds, early nineteen hundred.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
No, no, no, mid early early nineteen hundreds to like
nineteen eighty what? Yeah? Really, I just wow, Yeah, I
lived through the war and everything.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
Okay, interesting Beverly Nichols. How are the comments and yeah,
questions coming along?

Speaker 2 (17:43):
Tiger?

Speaker 4 (17:44):
Our listeners having a lot of fun. Gina's involved a lot.

Speaker 5 (17:46):
This morning, she made pancakes for the kids, and she
has recovered from weeding John's house.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
You know, she did an awesome job. She was a dynamo.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
She's like, really thorough, isn't she.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
Yeah, I'm sure I don't know about thorough as much
as fast.

Speaker 5 (18:07):
Carla wanted to congratulate Tanya on her sunflower from last week,
because Tanya wasn't on the program last week, so you know,
Carla wanted to make sure that she shared how impressed
from the last week's newsletter she was by Tanya's sunflower.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
And you know who's getting a lot of publicity in
the newsletter with pictures Kevin and Terry from quart Aline
after months and years of telling John, you never print
any of my pictures in the newsletter, and now just
about every other week there's something coming to us from
Kevin in Quarterlaine, Idaho.

Speaker 4 (18:41):
Well, yeah, just right now, Carlo was writing.

Speaker 5 (18:43):
Really enjoyed the article on astritium seats as poor man's capers. Yeah, okay,
and also the photo of edibles from friends. Will you
make pie with that rubarb?

Speaker 3 (18:56):
Kevin?

Speaker 5 (18:57):
Because he had some rhubarb right that was photographed in
there too, which which I think we've talked about this before,
but I don't think I've ever met anyone that's actually
made rubarb pie.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
Is rubarb wild? Is it any?

Speaker 3 (19:13):
Not? What? No? No, what? It's not wild?

Speaker 2 (19:16):
It's not wild? No rubarb itself?

Speaker 3 (19:19):
What about it? I answered that again, No.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
You didn't hear what my my question?

Speaker 1 (19:25):
But no, no, go is any part of rubarb poisonous?

Speaker 3 (19:30):
Yes, yes, that that's what I was not wild? Leading
to leading to the leaves.

Speaker 5 (19:37):
Yes, so you have to you have to cut off
the leaves and use this stem.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
Right. Always wonder if you go somewhere for dinner and
they're serving rubarb.

Speaker 4 (19:46):
Always have always have you see the reviews?

Speaker 3 (19:52):
Yeah, I'll have the pie, but not to sell John.

Speaker 2 (19:55):
You're big on puffer fish, right, you love eating puffer fish.

Speaker 5 (19:58):
That would be a funny thing to do is put
on a menu U arb salad and just see how
many people questioned you.

Speaker 3 (20:04):
Right? Well, you know sometimes sometimes.

Speaker 4 (20:07):
Uh I mean not actually make plants.

Speaker 3 (20:09):
Get reputations they don't deserve, for instance, or can't shake.
Don't you always think that the tomato leaves are poisonous? Yeah,
but you can use them. You can use them in
a salad.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
It's break time.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
Did you know that I did not? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (20:23):
No, all right, gonna take a break cutting us off
right right, But they gotta stay on time for the network.
This is for you BIS talk radio. Gotta stay tuned
with the format clock. So I'm gonna take a break
and come right back. For those on Facebook live a
bit longer on bistalk Radio, this is Garden America. Stay
with us and just like that, quick as a bunny.
As John likes to say, we are back here on
the Garden America from Tiger's backyard. We do appreciate you

(20:45):
tuning in anybody. You know what's interesting is we see
the list of people here that are always tuned in.
We see the names, and occasionally John will say, hey,
what are these names here that pop up by a
lot of news people watching today, and they just don't
necessarily interact. They just kind of watch because they curious.

Speaker 4 (21:00):
I'm afraid, don't be a fresh There are no silly questions.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
I'd like to know if anybody is a brand new
gardener just starting out for the first time.

Speaker 3 (21:09):
Yeah, because we don't want you to watch our show.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
Hey, you we're kind of rough. We're a rough bunch.

Speaker 3 (21:17):
I'll tell you that. No, no, no, I'm just kidding. Of course,
Carla did mention there's a biography out there of Beverlyin
Nichols too. Maybe you might be in more into biographies
than you are.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
It's something we can watch or read.

Speaker 3 (21:32):
It's a book. But Carla mentions, uh that if you
read his biography it's a very sad story, so it's
probably better to just read his gardening books. Yeah, they're
not as sad because they're no, they're not sad at all.
They're they're kind of humorous. And but yeah, his I think,
if I'm not mistaken, Carla, the biography did go into

(21:56):
the problems that he had with his his father, but
you know, he would he would hobnob with royalty, Brian, like.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
He was accepted in those circles.

Speaker 3 (22:07):
Yeah, kings and queens and dukes and duchesses and princes.
That's right.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
So it was also.

Speaker 3 (22:19):
He was also a member of that nol coward oscar
wild group.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
That whole yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, running around in that circle.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (22:28):
To answer one of the questions, I'm going to borrow
my leaf again here, Brian, you're going to try to
hold this up.

Speaker 4 (22:32):
You guys will have to talk.

Speaker 5 (22:34):
Carla had asked what the spider might damage looked like
if we can show and you know, John, I think
while I'm doing it can also because you know, there's
a few things when it comes to plant problems that
are very easy for a gardener to see and and
spider my damage is usually one of those things. It's
very specific, kind of like you know, an iron deficiency,

(22:58):
you know, an iron deficiency is a you know, yellow
leaf with green veins.

Speaker 4 (23:03):
You know, for the most part, when you see that.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
To me, that looks like if somebody said, what's it
look like, I said, the leaf is fading.

Speaker 3 (23:09):
Yeah, yeah, it's a fading leaf.

Speaker 5 (23:11):
From you know, but it's very hard sometimes to know,
like what is overwatering underwatering sometimes, you know, it's difficult
to see, like sucking insect damage, like it's not always
like specific, but spider mites are one of those things.
So if John can describe it, I'm gonna hold it
up to one of the cameras so people can see
it if they're watching.

Speaker 3 (23:28):
Yeah, you know, there's a couple of ways you can
tell spider mic damage quickly, Brian. One is if you
take the leaf and if you pound it over a
piece of white paper, like smack the back of it
and then take your hand and rub it over the paper.
You'll see streaks. And the streaks are because you've squashed

(23:48):
all their little bodies. Wow, and you get us that
sounds rather violent. You get a trail of spider mic
guts there.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
You're smashing and pounding and.

Speaker 3 (23:55):
All those things. Yeah, and if you look at what
Tiger's showing. Now you see how the the center vein is.
There's all the shot right, all the chlorophyll's been taken out.
Usually yeah, okay, Usually spider mites are on the backside
of a leaf, but they also come to the front
when they're heavy, and that's what Tiger had. Most pesticides

(24:22):
if you're spraying, do not kill mites, because pesticides, I
should say insecticides are for killing insects, and mites are
not insects sex right, so you need a mitoside. I
don't use anything, but you can also use organic sprays,
suffocance oils. You know, maybe maybe anem oil would work,

(24:46):
but any of the horticultural oils would suffocate them. Canol
oil would do a good job.

Speaker 5 (24:51):
And now because it's Plumeria tunic goes dorm it in
the wintertime. Do I have to be worried that it's
gonna come back carry year or because all those leaves
will go away. It's going to sit there for two
or three months and then then the new stuff comes out.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
Well, you don't have a big problem. If you had
a big problem, you know, they could overwinter on the stems,
But just that one leaf I would just pull the
leaf off and not even worry about it. But if
you want to, you can spray.

Speaker 5 (25:22):
So they can overwinter sometimes, you know, but and they
come back if you have a big problem with it
in the garden.

Speaker 3 (25:30):
If they didn't over winter, you would never have them
the next year. I know a lot of people, a
lot of my friends who are rose exhibitors, and they
need all their flowers to look perfect when they exhibit
them in shows, spray heavily. And by spraying heavily to

(25:53):
make sure that their blooms are perfect, they kill any
natural predators that are out in about. So with the
predators being dead, that allows the spider mites to take
over because there are predatory mites yeah that will eat
spider mites. Yeah, the bad spider mites, I should say,
good spider mites and bad spider mites. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (26:14):
It's funny how that happens.

Speaker 5 (26:16):
Right where there's you know, bugs that eat other bugs,
and then there's bugs that eat plants. But we call
the bugs that eat other bugs good bugs, good bugs, right,
but yet the vegetarian bugs are the bad bugs.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
It's it's interesting the way we do that for cannibals
but not people exactly. Not for for cannibals. Do it
for bugs, but not for people.

Speaker 5 (26:39):
I don't want to live in an area where there's
people that are cannibals. That's that doesn't sound good into that,
are you? No, I don't think those are good people.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
I think one time you said you frowned upon that.

Speaker 3 (26:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (26:49):
Yeah, I would not classify them as something I wanted
to introduce into my yard.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
Then you certainly don't want to go to that island,
North Stanton Island, off.

Speaker 4 (26:58):
Of where there's still is that the tribe.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
Then they don't want anybody there alone exactly?

Speaker 3 (27:06):
Yeah, is it north Central Island. Yeah, Carlos is thanking
you for showing that leaf. She's got them.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
And what that was good? I mean that probably identifies
with a lot of people there well.

Speaker 5 (27:18):
And you know the funny thing about spider mics is
they're very common on house plants because of that warm area, you.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
Know, especially in cold areas of the country. Yeah, lack
of the wind. They have you have dry heat, dry heat. Yeah.
They don't like humidity, no, but they do like the dryness. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (27:38):
So you know they always talk about when you have
spider minds on your house plants, it's almost, you know,
very difficult to get rid of because you know the treatments,
like John saying, you can't just use an insecticide, you
have to use a mita side. They're inside the house,
so you gotta kind of treat the whole plant, and
they get on the tops and bottoms, which is also
a difficult thing.

Speaker 3 (27:57):
In warm areas like California, you can and take the
plan outside and holds it down, which is a good
thing for exactly. U Kevin wants to know, Tiger, if
those are Disneyland boulders in the background. Yes, they are.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
No, they're actually real. I touched it. I thought the
same thing. Is this a real boulder? No, there's a
real They're concrete. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 5 (28:18):
Oh concrete, real concrete, exactly. I'm gonna I should change
up that shot. Let me see, I'll move it to
the other side of the yard. I forgot that I
can do this here.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
Carl R. Tana just put the Kiss to Death on
our show. Uh oh, she said she's been afraid to
say anything because the sound is excellent and there's no buffering.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
Well again, Tiger spent a good portion of the week.
Now next week is a whole see enjoy the moment.
Next week could be a whole different story, but so
far we think we've got it.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
Kneel down.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
Yeah, I learned a lot this week. I said about
that because you know what it's causing effect. And just
when you think you've solved something else, well, then when
I solved this problem, why is this not working? And
then what's the cause of this not working? To begin with?
It's like going through a like try. It's like when
you get all your cords, all you know, tangled up
with each other and you have to go through there
and try to figure out what goes where.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
Hey, Joyce says that she got her last four fruit
trees planted this week. What fruit trees did you plant? Joyce? Yeah?
Do you have any fruit trees in your future? Tiger? Yes?
What are you? What are you looking for? So?

Speaker 5 (29:29):
I have orange, lemon, lime, and mandarin right now? Okay,
so those are the four oh and a fig? So
I have five fruit trees right now?

Speaker 3 (29:42):
Did you have the dwarf fig? Yes? Phenomenal or penomenal? Yes?
Is it fruited for you? Not yet? I will say
I have.

Speaker 5 (29:52):
I've almost pushed that plant to the point of death
because of lack of water, so I don't expect anything
from it until next year. I was seeing how it
can survive on its own. It didn't work out very well.
It needs water. But but the one, the one fruit
tree that I need to plant when I finish the

(30:13):
area behind the poolhouse where I'm gonna put the plumereas
in my.

Speaker 4 (30:18):
Other fruit trees, is that.

Speaker 5 (30:23):
Flat not peach?

Speaker 3 (30:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (30:28):
Peach right, the donut peach? Yes, yeah, that one.

Speaker 3 (30:33):
Those are really good.

Speaker 5 (30:34):
I have to have one of the right, like, because
you can't find it in the store.

Speaker 3 (30:38):
You know, well some stores have them.

Speaker 5 (30:40):
Yeah, but like it's not common, right, like I you know,
I can find an aproncot, I can find a peach,
I can find a plum It's very difficult to find that.

Speaker 3 (30:49):
So I'm gonna grow that. It's good as if you
grow them yourself. Yeah, regularly. Guess what again? Yes see
I interrupt?

Speaker 1 (30:59):
You know you know what I would say, good guests,
because it's just the show is just so entertaining, it's
full of information. It's flying right by. So again taking
a break for BIS Talk Radio. Thank you for tuning in.
This is Garden America. Happy weekend. If indeed it is
the weekend that you're listening, or maybe during the week.
Happy week to you, Garden America. Back after these messages.
All right, welcome back. If you are tuned in listening

(31:19):
on BIS Talk Radio. This is the final segment of
our number one with news coming up. How about that
news on BIS Talk Radio. We can back at six
minutes after. Some markets carry one hour, two hours, some
carry the second. Now with the first hour, it's a mismatch.
We hope you can follow the show. And again, as
Tiger mentioned, I'm not sure if we were on the
air when you mentioned this, but you can always go
to our YouTube channel, usually early afternoon, and this show

(31:43):
and other shows are uploaded. So whatever you missed, you
just go back. You can pause and rewind and do
whatever you want. That's on That's Garden America Radio show
on YouTube.

Speaker 3 (31:50):
There's a product or a question you had answered, you
go back, you replay it.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
You can replay it exactly.

Speaker 3 (31:55):
Hey, prior to the break, we were talking about the trees.
You were looking a plant. What about planning a jujubi jujub? Yeah,
I like them.

Speaker 5 (32:06):
I'm not opposed to juju. Be's in there to eat them.
That many it's called the movie theaters.

Speaker 3 (32:11):
Well, do not eat them because you don't have access.
Maybe maybe that's why. Yeah, because that's one of the
fruits you can eat dry or you can eat it fresh.

Speaker 5 (32:20):
Right, So jujubi you think would another? How about is
that tree? Though they're not they're not huge, no.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
No, as big as a citrus. Oh yeah, definitely right.

Speaker 5 (32:32):
Yeah, so okay, but you could can I keep it
trimmed down?

Speaker 3 (32:37):
Yeah, you can keep it trimmed And but the nice
thing about them is their drought tolerant too, so if
you had a dryer area of your garden, you could
use it. And there's a lot of new varieties that
are are extra sweet, so I think you might like those.

Speaker 5 (32:51):
There was one I go to this donut place on
Friday mornings for the crew. I get donuts on Fridays,
and I was it's so funny you mentioned that because
the woman at the donut shop, she was like, hey,
I'm looking for it.

Speaker 4 (33:07):
She's called it a honey jujubi.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
There's a variety called honey. Okay, she wants one of
the newer ones.

Speaker 5 (33:13):
She wants that one, And I was like, oh, I'll
have to look into it. I don't think I've seen
that one before. So she it's so funny that you
mentioned you should go jujubis because.

Speaker 4 (33:22):
She was asking if I can find a honey jujub
for her.

Speaker 3 (33:25):
Well, you know, it's even more of a coincidence because
I'm looking for donuts. Perfect. We should get together. Yeah,
h Dana wants to know where we're going to broadcast
from next week and uh, Carlo assumed it's going to
be from your patio.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
Well, I was thinking about that seriously. We would have
to do a lot of moving around and a lot
Wou'd be a very tight quarters, very tight quarters. Yeah,
it's it's tight in that patio. You have to move
everything out of the way. We'd have a pencil plant
behind this, Oh, we.

Speaker 3 (33:58):
Don't want to inconvenience.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
We'd have your we'd have the we'd have the Australian tree, uh,
bottle trees.

Speaker 2 (34:06):
Yeah, yeah, No, it's just it's cramp it's crampy. Carlo
wants to.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
Know if there was a bad crop of white peaches
and neck dreams this year. They've been hard to find
and expensive. When she does find them, I don't know.
They're not as prolific as the yellow ones I shouldn't
say prolific, but as common as the yellow ones. So

(34:34):
I don't know that there was a bad crop or
it could just not be in season. I will some
of them are later.

Speaker 5 (34:41):
That across the board right now. When it comes to farming,
you know, they're having a lot of struggles. I mean,
you know, you know, farmers are you know, having a
lot of challenges, whether it's you know, water or or growth,
you know, problems of their specific crops. And you know,

(35:05):
as John just mentioned, sometimes you know there's a good
you know year, or sometimes there's a good season, and
then sometimes they're not. And that's the that's part of
farming is you know, there's there's years that grow things
grow all by themselves because you know, you got rain
and everything was wonderful. And then there's years where there
wasn't rain, and right you know, you don't get as

(35:27):
good a production, you know, And that's where I think that,
you know, we are so blessed being in San Diego
because we do have so many resources for like you said,
like I was like I could barely find the donut
and you're like, yeah, you find them around and you
do where some places that fruit almost like never exists
because they don't have anybody that grows them locally or nearby.

Speaker 4 (35:49):
But we have a lot of farms, and especially where
you live, John up in Fallbrook.

Speaker 5 (35:52):
I mean you know, you guys have so many farms
in that area that your markets.

Speaker 3 (35:56):
Small grows, small growth, you know, just flood back are growers.

Speaker 4 (36:00):
Yeah, really neat stuff. I was down in the downtown.

Speaker 5 (36:05):
You you have a very For those of you that
have never been to Fallbrook, it's almost it's almost like
London where it's like New New London before. Yeah, it's
like New London London. You know where there's like New
Fallbrook and Old Fallbrook. Because you know your major drag street,

(36:28):
you know, your major street there.

Speaker 3 (36:30):
Has like we call it main Street.

Speaker 5 (36:32):
Yeah, it has all the major normal normal markets and
grocery stores and fast food stuff. But then off to
the side they have this like I don't know, off
main Street where they have like the older small shops,
small restaurants, small little boutiqui things, and you know, you

(36:53):
turn any corner and you're surprised by all the fun
stuff they have there.

Speaker 3 (36:56):
Well, we've we've mentioned on air before that fall Brook
is the oldest town in southern California that was not
founded by the Spaniards or the Mexicans. Yeah, that's a
trivia question. Wow. Yeah, so that's why it's not uh
San Fallbrook, right, or Santa.

Speaker 5 (37:16):
Fall Brook or having some kind of other Hispanic name
behind it, or lost anything.

Speaker 3 (37:22):
Yeah. Was actually named after a town in Pennsylvania called
fall Brook, which was tour It.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
Was founded by the Amish.

Speaker 3 (37:32):
No, no, it was followed founded by the Retchis you
know there's a Ricchie road.

Speaker 4 (37:37):
Yeah, that's the family, Yeah, one of.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
The families, and where they like and and uh outside
of fall Brook is to Lose right right, which is
play on the word because you look at to lose,
what would you think that light? The light right right?
So you would think that's a Spanish name, right would
It was actually named after the l Ucee Loose family.

(38:05):
Oh and Louse was a a Spanish version of Loose
and in l uce Luce right, Like, isn't that could
be right? What does that mean? Well? Is that light? Also? Yeah?
Is it okay? But their name was Loose. So and

(38:27):
if you want to read a little bit about the
history of Fallbrook, uh, four or five of the chapters
in my new book talk about that.

Speaker 1 (38:37):
Okay, just so you know, we've got about a minute.
All right, So you're not Paula.

Speaker 5 (38:41):
I have a problem with black, she said, question Mark
rust on Asian pair had two trees, only one left
and it's great fruit, wonderful shelf life, Fallbrook is heaven
black rust on Asian pair.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
Now I'm imagining that sooty mole's that would be my
guest too. So if it's black and you need to
see a picture, yeah, you know, because it's like like telemedicine,
you know, if you call the doctor, what's wrong with me?
Sure to you. Yeah, but that's my guest too, because
it city. Mold grows in the secretions of insects, usually aphids, Yeah,

(39:20):
but can also be scale.

Speaker 1 (39:22):
It is break time for BIS Talk Radio News coming
up top of the hour. Hopefully your market carries us.
We came back in six minutes after those on Facebook
live stick around, going to be a quicker break. This
is guard in America. Welcome to your weekend. We appreciate it. Okay,
back from the break, BIS Talk Radio, Thank you. This
is our number two. Welcome to the show. Welcome those
on Facebook, Welcome to those that are watching and listening

(39:44):
to us for the very first time.

Speaker 4 (39:46):
So before the break, we were talking about Paula.

Speaker 2 (39:48):
She's a black suity mold, right sty.

Speaker 5 (39:50):
Mold I believe on her Asian pair. And so you know,
as John mentioned a lot of times, that city mold
from secretion of insects, scale aphids, you know, sucking insects
that are on the plant, on.

Speaker 3 (40:06):
In fungus, the gross and the secretion.

Speaker 4 (40:08):
Yes, and you know on an Asian pair, you know,
the thing to do.

Speaker 5 (40:16):
I mean, number one, it's going to go dormant in
the wintertime, so you know, to protect against that kind
of stuff is when it's dormant, using your you know,
all season oil sprays and things like that. But you know,
you're trying to prevent the bugs. You know, you're not
trying to treat the disease problem. You're mostly probably trying
to focus on the bugs, which means during the growing season,

(40:37):
maybe you can wash it off, you know, insect settle soaps,
you know, things like that for the next year, because
I can't I mean, I don't know, Paul, I mean,
are you already harvesting right now? And I imagine Asian
pair right now, you've got fruit on there and it's
picking picking time.

Speaker 3 (40:54):
Yeah, so I imagine you don't worry. There's some varieties
of Asian plumps or agent pairs that are more resistant
to fire blight than others. So she had mentioned she
had one tree dye. It could have been from fire
blake too, right.

Speaker 5 (41:14):
Yeah, which which is a disease passed from normally pruning.
You know, you're passing it almost like a you know,
you know, blood disease.

Speaker 3 (41:23):
And you would get black leaves from that also, but
they wouldn't be fuzzy. Yeah. And and.

Speaker 5 (41:30):
Now on on something like that, is it normal flyer
blight where you'll have like a whole branch that just
died out?

Speaker 3 (41:36):
Right?

Speaker 4 (41:36):
Does it showed the same on a pair like that?

Speaker 3 (41:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (41:40):
Yeah, Now I've never seen, you know, it where it's fruiting,
Like does the fruit on that branch completely die out too,
Like say you had a pair.

Speaker 3 (41:51):
Of you know, I don't know, to be honest, I
don't know for sure, but that would be my guess.

Speaker 5 (41:56):
Yeah, because it pretty much when you cut that branch,
it's like the whole branch is dead. So I imagine if
you had fruit and then that fruit just shriveled up
and the whole branch was dying.

Speaker 3 (42:06):
You probably that was a good sign of fire blake.

Speaker 4 (42:08):
Which you gotta be real careful because you.

Speaker 5 (42:09):
Can't just prune that out and there's really you know,
there's specific ways to take care of that by eliminating it.
I mean, you brought up this really cool concept of
the disease roses where they grow them under such intense
heat that they they outrun the virus in the plant,
and then they can now cure the rose, so to speak,

(42:31):
by taking this new growth that has outrun the virus.
That's that's just so amazing to me. I mean, fire
blight is a virus also.

Speaker 3 (42:42):
Or is it? I think it's a bacteria. Bacterial, Yeah,
so I think it's bacterial fire blake. Okay, so you
can't google, yeah right, Yeah, there used to be that.
What was the the product that was the harpen protein
that they sprayed on on pears harp messenger. Do you

(43:07):
remember messenger?

Speaker 5 (43:08):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (43:08):
Yeah, I remember a messenger that was harpen protein.

Speaker 3 (43:11):
Yeah, and and I think it was to prevent fire boy.

Speaker 4 (43:15):
You're right, it did list that. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (43:19):
We were talking earlier when Joyce commented that she had
just planted her last three fruit trees and she had
one more to go. We asked what they were, tiger,
and she said they're apricot Asian pear plum elephant, plump elephant.

(43:40):
I think that's elfin heart plump. Do you know that
one of you seen? Now? I don't really good. It
got kind of a strange name because it's like blood
red when you bite into it.

Speaker 4 (43:51):
Oh yeah, but it's really good.

Speaker 3 (43:53):
And then she's got said she's got a low quat
waiting to be planted. I almost bought. I went to
get some mulch at at home Deep O'Brien, some black mulch,
and they had I've always wanted a big Jim low
quad and they had grafted once there, and I almost

(44:16):
bought one. But a friend of mine has a low
quat tree and she had seedlings coming up everywhere, and
she gave me a bunch of seedlings and I already
put those in the ground. So now I've got three
low quad trees. Do I want to put in another
other one? I don't know. I thought of maybe digging
up one of the seedlings putting big gym, but instead

(44:37):
I got a mango.

Speaker 5 (44:40):
Gina asked how old should a peone be before you
divide it.

Speaker 4 (44:49):
I mean, can't you divide those just annually?

Speaker 3 (44:53):
They're like I guess if you compare them to day lilies.
You know, for the first two or three years, you
don't want to be dividing dailylyes. But then you can
look at the clump. You can see, wow, this is
just I can barely get my arms around it. So
I would say about after three years, you can go

(45:13):
through three to four years and divide the pa andies.
So do it, but you don't want to do it
when they're too young, because it's important that they build
up a big root system to get all those flowers.

Speaker 5 (45:26):
So it's like, you do it, wait three years, do
it again, wait three years, or wait three years, and
then you can start.

Speaker 3 (45:32):
Doing it annually. No, no, so you got to wait.
You can't.

Speaker 4 (45:37):
This is not something you can do every year.

Speaker 3 (45:39):
No, you wouldn't want to because it weakens the plant.
And you definitely don't want to divide tree paeonies.

Speaker 5 (45:48):
Yeah, sorry what you said, I think it. I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah,
definitely not. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (45:54):
I love tree ponies. My daughter Gina's got a tree paeony.

Speaker 4 (45:57):
Yeah, don't divide that one.

Speaker 3 (45:58):
Gina.

Speaker 5 (45:59):
Yeah, yeah, so you got to wait a few years
after you do it. Yeah, them build up, you know,
and kind of.

Speaker 3 (46:06):
It's hard for me to tell because I can look
at a plant and I can tell, oh, that should
be divided. Yeah. And as a matter of fact, if
you look at your plumerian the pot over there, that's
the size I would divide a p andy.

Speaker 5 (46:21):
Okay, so about a foot and a half two feet tall,
two feet wide.

Speaker 3 (46:28):
Well, the height doesn't make any difference because they're dormant
when you divide them. But they could be like the
plant two feet yeah, two feet wide at the bottom
you could easily cut it in half or divide it
into three. But with dividing any plants, you know, you
may be sacrificing some blooms the following year.

Speaker 5 (46:45):
Yeah, So it just depends on what your ultimate goal
is for it. If if you're looking to use that
same plant and fill it into other parts of the garden,
you know, that's one reason to do it. If you're
just simply dividing to maybe you know, make room.

Speaker 4 (47:03):
Like you know, because sometimes plants get too big for it.

Speaker 5 (47:05):
Right right then, you know you do want to be
goble because like you're saying that means you might be
sacrificing that year because you chose to deviy it this
year right now.

Speaker 3 (47:16):
And some plants like bearded iris is a perfect one.
You divide those in August, and if you wait much
later than August to divide them, you get no blooms
the next year. Ah, so you definitely want to divide
them when it's time. Carla said that she read you know,
we were talking about jujube. She said she was on

(47:37):
gardening dot org and read a great article on jujib's.

Speaker 4 (47:41):
So it's the hot fruit right now.

Speaker 3 (47:43):
Well, the breeding that's going on, yeah, it's it is surprising,
and it's one of those fruits you you probably have
the same feeling as I do that if you want
you're going to grow fruit, you want to grow something
you can't buy in the supermarket, right, That's exactly. And
some of those fruits are just because they're unusual, but

(48:07):
other times it's because they don't ship well, because you
don't see a lot of figs, yes, you know, in
the supermarket, because they just don't ship well. Used to
be that way with berries too, you would never see rasberries.
But you know, now they've got some that they bred
the taste out of, but they last a long time
in the shelf. Tuger you, I'm seeing if we forgot

(48:31):
anybody here.

Speaker 5 (48:32):
I'm ordering honey jugub. Sorry you are exactly the show.
One hundred and twenty seven dollars. Well, what's that on
Miami Fruit? I don't know if this is just a
fruit or a tree. Oh it's a tester box, so
this is just the fruit.

Speaker 4 (48:49):
I know you can order this fruit just like online.

Speaker 3 (48:55):
But you know, you think of tropical and subtropical fruits.
You think of buying containers, but Jujub's are one of
the plants you can buy. Bear root also really input
those in. Yeah, yeah, because they're deciduous, right, but I
mean they're pretty hard.

Speaker 5 (49:08):
He's very like tender to do shipping bear rout. Yeah,
that's fun.

Speaker 3 (49:14):
They're not as tender as a fig, I don't think really.

Speaker 4 (49:19):
Yeah, figs are more tender than a jujubi. Wow.

Speaker 3 (49:22):
Yeah, dang, that's cool.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
What do you say we take a break before I
surprise you.

Speaker 4 (49:29):
Thank you, Thank you for giving us time.

Speaker 1 (49:31):
Waited for that little moment of silence. Thank you for
tuning in those on Facebook Live Biz Talk Ready you.
Thank you, great show, good questions. We love your comments.
Do stay with us. I'm Brian Main Tiger Pelafox, John Begnasco. Yes, indeed,
broadcasting from Tiger's backyard right here in San Diego, California.
Back after these messages on Bistok Radio. Okay, we are
right back at it. The action continues on Garden America,

(49:54):
the nations most listen to and watched gardening program John,
According to I think one of our show intros, I
think we do state that.

Speaker 3 (50:03):
How about that?

Speaker 5 (50:04):
You know what I was thinking about when you said
before the break one time that we do the news
at the top of the hour shows and then we
come back on.

Speaker 4 (50:13):
Yes, you know what I.

Speaker 5 (50:15):
Fear sometimes happens is people are listening to our program
and sometimes there's not always good news.

Speaker 4 (50:21):
And you know, sometimes the shows start up and you're.

Speaker 5 (50:24):
Like, hey, blah blah blah where we go and in like, meanwhile,
the news that was just reported is all negative?

Speaker 3 (50:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (50:32):
Yeah, I know, you know, after the messages, Gang.

Speaker 4 (50:35):
And I feel like we need to know the news.

Speaker 2 (50:36):
We've got the news coming up, which of course.

Speaker 3 (50:38):
We never hear. No, you know, an ocean liner just
sunk in the Pacific killing ten thousand people.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
Here we are talking about us.

Speaker 3 (50:48):
But you know what, that's why you should listen to
our show, Yeah, because because you need that. No news
is good news sometimes, right exactly.

Speaker 5 (50:58):
So I don't know, I just it made me think
better because because we don't know, you know, we were
talking about for those of you that are joining the
program and watch the show, sometimes we don't know the
commercials that are played between our breaks, we don't know
the intros that are done, and the news.

Speaker 2 (51:16):
Because this is not live.

Speaker 1 (51:17):
We are recording this for biz Talk Radio, so this
will be played next weekend.

Speaker 4 (51:22):
And so the news is something you know, we don't
know what.

Speaker 1 (51:25):
Happen, yeah now and then yeah exactly, So I'm sure
it's to be live.

Speaker 4 (51:28):
I'm sure sometimes it's pretty funny like people like.

Speaker 1 (51:32):
And so not all markets carry both hours, yeah, because
there's there's several affiliates across the country. Some are just
hour one, hour two, maybe some both hours, which is
why you should go to our Facebook page Garden America
Radio Show and watch us live.

Speaker 5 (51:46):
And it's a great way to interact with us and
submit your questions before the show. So that way, when
we start the show, we have the information we can,
we can queue you up, we can bring in more
information about it and go from there.

Speaker 2 (51:57):
So you can do a little homework before we answer
the questions.

Speaker 3 (52:00):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. By the way, I try to eventually
get in all the pictures for the newsletter that you
send me to Johnigardenamerica dot com of your backyard, and
we solicit those. But I've had a couple people send
me an email and say you didn't use my picture,

(52:21):
and I will, well, sometimes I just can't because they
have too many. But sometimes the picture will get to
me on Thursday and they want to know why it
wasn't in on Friday. I try to have the newsletter
newsletter at the very latest done by Wednesday, so you
really need you really need to send me your pictures

(52:42):
on Monday and Tuesday if you expect to see them
that week, and we do appreciate those.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
You know, what's interesting is I see pictures from towns
and communities that I had no idea were even listening
or watching us.

Speaker 3 (52:54):
Right, yeah, you know you we There was an article
in the newsletter this week about how nasturtium seeds were
the poor Man's caper, and we had someone in Edmonton, Alberta, Alberta.
Thank you Brian Canada that sent us a picture of

(53:15):
nasturtiums about a month ago.

Speaker 5 (53:17):
Right, yeah, are really cool flowers. There's a lot of
really cool looking flowers. And they see to grow, they
just they go over.

Speaker 3 (53:29):
Yeah. Yeah, you know it's worse than nasturtiums because asturtiums
grow from seed, right, and you can pull them out
and easy throw the planet away. Yeah, but what also
spreads like crazy are four o'clocks, Yes, and those you
can't pull a pull out. Yeah, they're they're weedy.

Speaker 5 (53:47):
Yeah, So I wish I wish my California poppies would
grow likensurtiums do. I planted so many poppies and they
come up and they do well for a while, but
I don't get.

Speaker 3 (53:57):
The full like all all the way.

Speaker 5 (54:01):
Through, you know, like they spread not really, I mean
they're you know the California Orange, California.

Speaker 3 (54:08):
Well those are just annuals.

Speaker 4 (54:10):
Well I know, but I mean you would think that
they would come up.

Speaker 5 (54:13):
I let them go to seed, and I would imagine
they would just populate throughout my yard. And they do
a little bit, but they don't do it as well
as I want them to.

Speaker 3 (54:24):
Does that?

Speaker 5 (54:25):
Does that make sense? Like insertionums? They would do it
more than I want them to.

Speaker 3 (54:30):
Calimorning glories.

Speaker 4 (54:31):
Yeah, well morning yeah, for sure.

Speaker 5 (54:35):
I think I told you about my morning glory problem
up at a property in Fallbrook where we sprayed it
with with roundup and and it still comes back. And
then I and then I sprayed it with undiluted round
up and it still is coming back.

Speaker 4 (54:49):
It's like, oh my goodness, that's terrible.

Speaker 3 (54:51):
Is anything else growing in the area, No, because you
might have to put down a soil sterile yeah exactly. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (54:57):
But the the the issue is is, you know, I mean,
I feel like there's just so much root system in
there that, like you're saying, I have to like put
some kind of soil stillizer because.

Speaker 4 (55:08):
We try to get it to go through the foliage
and it just can't get it all.

Speaker 5 (55:12):
Yeah, you know, but I wish, yeah, I might grow
some nisturtiums here in the wintertime, put out the seed,
see what happens come up in the spring and then.

Speaker 3 (55:22):
And then you can pickle the seeds so that you
have came have capers.

Speaker 5 (55:25):
And a lot of people don't realize too like nistritums
are a great salad plants also, like you can incorporate
the flowers into meals and things like that too, So
you know, I mean, it's all around.

Speaker 3 (55:39):
I wrote an article about I'm thinking it's twenty years
ago now. Brian and I called it the Colisseum Caper,
which is kind of a mystery type title, and it
was because when we visited Rome there were there were
caper plants growing in the coliseum. It had been there

(56:00):
in the walls of the colony.

Speaker 2 (56:02):
Yes, I do remember that, yeah, yes, yes, exactly.

Speaker 3 (56:06):
Yeah, I was really surprised to see that.

Speaker 4 (56:09):
Oh, happy birthday to Lila.

Speaker 5 (56:12):
I have seven fruit trees that need to be planted
in my backyard. You can do a few shows from
my backyard and help Harry plant the trees demonstrations. Tiger
is coming here on the twenty ninth. Today is my birthday.
And even though it says it's Harry, it is it
is Lila. Happy birthday, Happy birthday. And yeah, I will

(56:33):
be out there. We have some irrigation to fix and
maybe we can help you plant some of those fruit
trees at that time. What fruit trees do you have,
Lila that are going to be planted. And then carolyn
efforts to naturalize my California poppies has finally been successful.
Now they stick around all winter.

Speaker 4 (56:50):
That's good for her. Where are you at, Carolyn?

Speaker 3 (56:53):
Do you know?

Speaker 4 (56:53):
Do you know where Carolyn is at? Or no, Carolyn.

Speaker 3 (56:55):
Yeah, Carolyn is in Newport Beach, Coasta, Mesa.

Speaker 2 (56:59):
So little, a little breezy.

Speaker 3 (57:02):
Yeah. So, I mean, you know, when the ships, uh,
some of the explorer ships came to the California coast
in the spring, they saw mountains that were just orange.
I'm sure you know because of the pops. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (57:17):
Yeah, I mean that's what I want, but for some reason,
I just can't get it to I've got status, you know,
oh yeah, you know, growing no problems whatsoever. I would
I would happily take out the status and have California.

Speaker 3 (57:30):
But do you know the but status is here all year.
The puffees are just temperary.

Speaker 5 (57:35):
Yeah, but I mean it doesn't look good all year,
I would say, the status.

Speaker 3 (57:39):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (57:39):
Some of them are looking pretty junkie right now. Although
I do like that. It's just you don't do anything,
you know, and it's not as succulent.

Speaker 1 (57:49):
Okay, break time, all right, already. How about that show
flying right by now after this segment here, we've got
two more segments coming up. The next segments, one of
your favorites, John, one of the longer segment of the show.

Speaker 3 (58:01):
Oh, I look forward to that, the longer second. Yea.

Speaker 1 (58:03):
So we're going to take put a wrap on this segment.
We're going to take a break for bistalk Radio. Thank
you for tuning in those on Facebook Life. A lot
of questions, good questions, good comments. We hope that we're
helping you along your your garden pathway today here on
guard in America. Back after these messages on bis Talk Radio,
and just like that we are back. Thank you to
Fertilom who they keep us on the air, they keep
us on Facebook, on BizTalk Radio, and their sponsors. We

(58:25):
do appreciate appreciate you as well, I should say, as
we continue from Tiger's backyard garden America. What's happening John,
You know.

Speaker 3 (58:34):
Prior to the break, we were talking about Tiger's attempts
to naturalize California poppies and I have some on my
one hillside and a few plants will come back every year.

Speaker 4 (58:45):
And did that come down without our seed spread that
you did. Is that what they were? Or did you
plant those there?

Speaker 3 (58:52):
I'm not sure. I'm not sure it could have been
from the hydroceeding, because.

Speaker 5 (58:55):
You had a list of that came back. But I
don't see a lot of a listen at your house. Now,
do you have it still coming back?

Speaker 3 (59:01):
It'll come back, okay. But the one thing that does
come back everywhere are gazans. Yes, and it's surprising to
see the colors they come back in because they're all different.
You know, I bought at a nursery this spring, or
maybe it was last spring, a white gauzine because you

(59:22):
don't see those as much. And I had, you know,
a couple of seedlings come up and the original one's gone,
but these two new seedlings were white.

Speaker 5 (59:34):
So you you were like the harbinger of death though
you're actually attracting. You're actually attracted because if you have gazene,
you're well that you are actually like attracting gophers into
your yard because gauzine is actually attract gophers.

Speaker 3 (59:50):
Did you know that? Yes? Now I knew that.

Speaker 5 (59:54):
So you were like calling them to your yard so
you can create kill no gauzine.

Speaker 3 (01:00:00):
Do you remember I told you I thought I had
the last gophers, last giant. Yeah remember that. And I
I had it in a pot and I finally put
it in the ground and was doing great and gopher
came up and ate it. It's like three years ago,
and that's when I started my vendetta going after gopher.

Speaker 1 (01:00:23):
I would have motion detection lights come on, you know,
video cameras to actually see the gophers do the damage
and watch it back.

Speaker 3 (01:00:32):
I've been you.

Speaker 4 (01:00:33):
Want to see, you want to suffer, you want to
just suffer.

Speaker 3 (01:00:36):
I've been sitting in a chair and watch plants just
go down.

Speaker 4 (01:00:39):
You know it's funny.

Speaker 3 (01:00:40):
You can't hear the crunching, and you.

Speaker 2 (01:00:42):
Know it's so funny. Bugs bunny.

Speaker 5 (01:00:44):
Well, you watch those cartoons, right, and you you know
the little cartoon and it shows the farmer and it's
like the carrots are like the ground, right and and
you know, like what John's just said, if you're out there,
you could watch it happen. It does happen in real time, right,
And it's amazing that they actually do that.

Speaker 4 (01:01:06):
So those cartoons, those little you know watching it's not fake.

Speaker 5 (01:01:13):
Yeah, it's horrible. How is the garden? Is it fully protected?
No rabbit problems.

Speaker 3 (01:01:21):
I thought you were gonna say, it's a full of weeds.

Speaker 4 (01:01:22):
No, No, the veggie garden, veg garden is it?

Speaker 3 (01:01:27):
Is it safe? It's waiting for fall.

Speaker 4 (01:01:30):
Okay, so it's done, pretty much done.

Speaker 3 (01:01:32):
Yeah, I have a new crap. A carrot's coming up.
And you mentioned you mentioned the rabbit. And this morning
I'm driving out of my driveway and right in front
of me was a rabbit.

Speaker 4 (01:01:43):
Yeah, but it wasn't in the garden.

Speaker 3 (01:01:45):
No, no, because the garden's dead.

Speaker 2 (01:01:47):
It's the rabbit that John let live several months ago.

Speaker 3 (01:01:51):
Peter.

Speaker 5 (01:01:53):
Yeah, he's got a little jacket on, a little blue
jacket on.

Speaker 3 (01:01:57):
I was reading. I'm trying to think of what it
came from. Somebody was telling me that they went. Oh,
actually might have been a friend of mine was telling
me that he went to Arizona to buy something us. Actually,
let's not talk about this now that I think of this,
over the border, crossing over the border, crossing over over

(01:02:20):
the border, transporting of chemicals, Yeah exactly, Yeah, it was
something that you he couldn't get in California anymore so.

Speaker 4 (01:02:29):
And is it to kill rabbits or repel them or
what was.

Speaker 3 (01:02:33):
It for I think it was might have been four
gophers actually, like, yeah, kill them a gopher bait that
we don't sell anymore.

Speaker 4 (01:02:42):
Yeah, I don't think. I don't think we sell the
one with Stryck nine anymore.

Speaker 5 (01:02:45):
Which which is exactly what it was, Yeah, which was
u which you know, I mean, you know, for the
longest time we had two products on the shelf and
I would go to the customer, I'd say, what do
you want to do? You know, you have this one
with strict nine. But the concern is is that the
eat it once and they die. But there's a concern
of a secondary.

Speaker 2 (01:03:03):
Point, secondary poisoning, meaning.

Speaker 5 (01:03:05):
If a you know, bird or your dog came along
and ate this dead gopher, they could potentially ingest strick knight.
Or you have this other poison which needs multiple feedings.
It'll still die, but it needs to eat it more
than one time. And but there it takes away the
secondary poisoning part of it. And they always went for

(01:03:26):
the strict.

Speaker 3 (01:03:27):
Knight, right, Like Kevin mentioned that last week we were
talking about Gina's white and pink garden and that those
are the colors she stays with, and he said it'd
be nice to see some pictures of the garden and
in the newsletter. And Gina does send me pictures for

(01:03:48):
the newsletter occasionally, and if you read the newsletter every week,
you'll see some of those.

Speaker 5 (01:03:53):
Yeah, yeah, And you know what I was thinking when
you mentioned sometimes you don't have a room where everybody's
photos in the newsletter. Send them to me and then
I'll post them all incorporate him into our Facebook Facebook.

Speaker 3 (01:04:08):
Well, yeah, there you go.

Speaker 4 (01:04:09):
It's always fun to share.

Speaker 3 (01:04:11):
Occasionally you'll see a picture from Tiger or myself or Brian.
And when you see that, it's only because I don't
have another one from a listener, right, And that's.

Speaker 2 (01:04:22):
What I would do.

Speaker 5 (01:04:23):
We don't take top of the list. We will, of course,
we put our listeners.

Speaker 1 (01:04:27):
Come off the ball benchwarmers when it comes to the pictures.
But no, I totally get it, you know. I said, John,
here from case you're short, you know, Yeah, here's a picture.

Speaker 3 (01:04:38):
Tiger when you were talking talking. I'm sorry, Brian, No,
here's a picture of belief. John.

Speaker 4 (01:04:44):
This is a greed plant plants, not planet plants.

Speaker 3 (01:04:47):
So next week I'll send you a bush exactly, maybe
a tree after that, Tiger you were talking asking how
the vegetable garden was doing, and I, while I do
have a few tomatoes coming, it's pretty much dead and
waiting for the new fall planting. When do you think

(01:05:08):
that should happen in Inland AREUS? As far as as
fall planting like cruciferous crops like roccoli, college college cauliflower, cabbage.

Speaker 5 (01:05:22):
So if you're buying plant peace, if you're buying actual
plants from a garden center, I would wait until late October,
just because you know, we get those Santa Ana winds
and those crops do not appreciate that hot, dry weather
at all, and especially when they're young and tender. If

(01:05:44):
you're planting from seed, you could probably plant in you know,
mid October, because then you know, by the time they
actually come up, you know it's going to be November,
and you know then we're past that that time.

Speaker 4 (01:06:00):
But I think that's your biggest challenge.

Speaker 5 (01:06:02):
So you know how you know, back East they deal
with the last frost or the last cold snap. It's
almost like we're waiting until the last heat heat snap, right,
you know, because as soon as that happens, then it's
like you go November, December, January, we're we're.

Speaker 3 (01:06:19):
We're flying, we're looking good.

Speaker 5 (01:06:21):
But if you plant those crops and we get one
of those real hot, you know, dry periods, that's they
they just wipe them all up by.

Speaker 3 (01:06:29):
They bolt and go to sea.

Speaker 2 (01:06:31):
Yeah, I'm looking at a little very young tomatoes behind you.

Speaker 4 (01:06:35):
Yeah right, that's what I'm saying. They haven't turned red,
though I don't understand why. I don't understand why they're
not turning red.

Speaker 3 (01:06:42):
I've had them for a little while.

Speaker 2 (01:06:44):
They don't embarrass easy.

Speaker 5 (01:06:46):
No, they don't exactly. They just variety is that it's
a volunteer. John John called it my two bite tomato. Yeah,
but yeah, so that's my volunt here just grows and
takes over.

Speaker 3 (01:07:01):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:07:02):
Maybe Yeah, it grows into the grassy area and I
try to keep it cleaned out of there. But other
than that, I just let it go up there the fence. Yeah,
I try to get it to grow up the fence
more so it's more vertical, but it tends to just
go wild. It's really and I don't know where it's
getting water from. I might have a leak down there

(01:07:25):
because there is no irrigation there whatsoever.

Speaker 3 (01:07:28):
Like you know what I mean?

Speaker 5 (01:07:30):
Like it's not getting water like I have no Like
I have irrigation going to a lot of these plants,
but not there.

Speaker 3 (01:07:36):
Not even the water from the lawn.

Speaker 4 (01:07:38):
No, my beautifully green fake lawn.

Speaker 3 (01:07:42):
You keep it so green. I'm really impressed.

Speaker 5 (01:07:44):
Yeah, right, the dogs don't tear it up or anything
like good mowing. Rick Rick asked, where's the barbecue Tiger.
I know we should have a barbecueut here for one
of our shows. Morning barbecue are baar, bacon and sausage
and steak and eggs.

Speaker 3 (01:08:02):
Look at you.

Speaker 4 (01:08:02):
Yeah, that'd be a good morning barbecue, right.

Speaker 3 (01:08:06):
That sounds good, absolutely, Arlene.

Speaker 4 (01:08:08):
It seems to think a point setia tree would look
fabulous in.

Speaker 3 (01:08:11):
My Now what does she mean by a point setia tree.
It's a great question, right, like, because there's the old,
real old point setias. I think you used to be
able to to buy them at Wideners. Uh huh, And
I'm trying. I think it was you.

Speaker 2 (01:08:29):
Can maybe buy them during the break because we have
a break coming up.

Speaker 3 (01:08:33):
Maybe pretty all right, we'll talk about point setti is
when we come back.

Speaker 1 (01:08:36):
And here's here's the bad news. Only one more segment
to go. What and it's one of the shorter segments.

Speaker 3 (01:08:40):
Oh, and Rick has another question.

Speaker 1 (01:08:41):
Rick has a question, So a quick break at Bistalk
Radio Facebook Live. One more segment. Do stay with us.
This is guard in America. You're back. This is it
seven minutes and forty eight seconds. That's the segment time, guys.

Speaker 3 (01:08:53):
Yeah, I think it was Whyners. Uh, henrietta ek.

Speaker 4 (01:09:01):
Variety of the point setia tree.

Speaker 3 (01:09:04):
Right, Well, they're not trees, they're just you'll see them
growing wild and you know, along the roads and stuff
like that.

Speaker 4 (01:09:12):
Yeah, they're the ones that naturalize it.

Speaker 3 (01:09:14):
And they have big double flower, you know, the one
just a huge flower. So I don't know if she's
talking about that or there is a point SETI a
tree that I've tried growing before. That's uh is it
a point set just a it's a Barzevikia of Barzevikia. Yeah, no,
no clue what that is. But probably one of the

(01:09:36):
most spectacular trees I've ever seen. Is it a big tree? No,
not a huge tree, but like a dwarf citrus.

Speaker 5 (01:09:44):
See this is where this is where John's property is
perfect because you can have a lot of trees and
even if they're like medium sized trees. You can have
a lot of trees there right where here. I even
if I have I've got some good space. But I
don't have space for a lot of trees. You know
it's going to be a challenge. Well it gets crampy here, Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:10:06):
Well I have to watch for the view also, though
that is true.

Speaker 5 (01:10:11):
You want it, but that's where you have the levels.
You have the lower area which you can plant anything.
You're not gonna you're not going to lose any view.

Speaker 3 (01:10:18):
And plus I start small because along the driveway as
you pull in where the dry garden is, there's fifteen
trees in there, and some of those trees get to
be one hundred feet tall and and seventy feet wide.
Yeah exactly, so, but I won't be there, but they'll

(01:10:38):
they'll look good.

Speaker 5 (01:10:39):
Rick asked a funny question because we did talk about
this last week. Carla mentioned this, and Rick said, do
the orioles make nests in your banana trees?

Speaker 3 (01:10:47):
Tiger, we were talking because you thought it was a
hummingbird they.

Speaker 5 (01:10:52):
Were a hummingbird's nest, and you said it was an
ool's nest, and I was like, wow, I don't think.

Speaker 2 (01:10:56):
I see any ools around here.

Speaker 5 (01:10:58):
But I mean that be a common thing that orioles
make nests in bananas, and it's really cool ness. I've
gotta I've got to see if I have another one,
because it was really neat.

Speaker 3 (01:11:09):
Not Baltimore orioles though.

Speaker 5 (01:11:11):
No, definitely not them. And then Lenor suggests that I
stop watering my tomatoes or pick them and let them
turn red on the counter because I was talking about
how I mean, you know they didn't turn red, and
but you also said you don't don't. Y, Yeah, I
guess my next step is going to just be pick

(01:11:31):
them and see if they turn red on the counter.

Speaker 3 (01:11:33):
So they will, but they won't taste as good. Yeah,
as if they're allowed to ripe been on the plant, on.

Speaker 4 (01:11:38):
The actual plant, that will be the test.

Speaker 5 (01:11:42):
But but the nice thing is is that I did
not plant that or choose to plant that, So whatever happens,
I'm happy with.

Speaker 3 (01:11:48):
It's okay.

Speaker 5 (01:11:49):
Yeah, if that plant died tomorrow, I would not I
would not even wink about it.

Speaker 3 (01:11:55):
Yeah, so.

Speaker 4 (01:11:58):
Lots of lots of good. I'm glad that the show
worked out today.

Speaker 3 (01:12:02):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:12:03):
I'm afraid of do anything different moving forward, at least
right now.

Speaker 5 (01:12:07):
We're all just going to stay in these exact spots
for the next rank. So so you know, sorry, but Dana,
Brian is not coming home, Shannon John is not coming home.

Speaker 4 (01:12:18):
We're just staying here.

Speaker 3 (01:12:20):
Upset them. Yeah, I was gonna say, you don't need
an apology. They probably thank you.

Speaker 5 (01:12:25):
Yeah, they're just gonna stay here.

Speaker 4 (01:12:28):
We're gonna keep everything running. We're gonna have seven days jobs.

Speaker 1 (01:12:32):
You know, congratulations on what you did this week to
try to figure all these weird things that you know
there there is a basic premise to everything we do
and how this is normally set up with remotes and stuff.
Unfortunately that's not the case with this setup that you
had a lot of trial by air. There's Facebook pages,
there's your page. There's a lot of things that go

(01:12:53):
into why this doesn't work. Why is the camera shutting up?
All technology? Brian, Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:12:58):
Molecules, the molecules, they're a big part. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:13:03):
But yeah, I'm glad we were able to.

Speaker 5 (01:13:07):
Use everything well and good questions and and Rita mentioned
you can use the Merlin app to listen for the
birds that make the nest for their ID, which that
that is a pretty.

Speaker 3 (01:13:18):
Cool little app.

Speaker 5 (01:13:19):
Merlin app So you basically hold it up and it listens,
and any bird that makes a noise, it identifies that bird.

Speaker 3 (01:13:27):
Oh I never heard Merlin. Yeah, Merlin, like Merlin the Magician. Yeah,
like King Arthur Merlin exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:13:34):
You know, capes and high funny hats, because.

Speaker 4 (01:13:37):
That's what he was known for identifying bird sound.

Speaker 2 (01:13:40):
And stars on your little on your clothing.

Speaker 4 (01:13:44):
Carry a cane or walking stick.

Speaker 3 (01:13:48):
John's thinking about that visual Actually, I was thinking about
the was the wizard's name? Radick asked that was Merlin. No,
the wizard that was in Lord of the Rings, the
one that had the all the animals follow him. Know.

(01:14:09):
That's all I know is it's too much for you. Yeah.
I think he was a friend of Gandalf's. They're all
friends of Gandalf, not so on. They were friends at
one point. They may have been. I think they were.
They may have been.

Speaker 4 (01:14:25):
Yeah, then they had have fallen out.

Speaker 3 (01:14:27):
I wanted to quickly mention too that we've done this
in the past. But if anyone wants an article on
a particular item for the newsletter, if you send a
note to Johnnagardanamerica dot com, I'll be happy to write
a little article on it and stick it in the newsletter.

Speaker 2 (01:14:44):
How about that, I'm sure's and articles? Yeah, request.

Speaker 3 (01:14:49):
Well, you know I got to come up with fifty
two ideas a year. Yeah, yeah, sure.

Speaker 5 (01:14:54):
So it's always nice when you get something that helps
you right in a direction, give you some direction.

Speaker 3 (01:15:01):
Yeah, you should do an article on the Merlin app.
Look into it now. Don't ask me to do an
article on anything technical. You wrote an article for the
newsletter when you first started working with us. Yeah, do
you remember that. I think you actually the newsletter. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:15:17):
I did the newsletter for a while, right until.

Speaker 3 (01:15:19):
