Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, hi there, how are you. Yes, we are. Let's
see two minutes late this morning here on guard in America,
working at a few bugs in the system, some technical problems.
Tiger had his very serious face on for the past
ten to fifteen minutes, but he got us up and
running as far as a Facebook life, as far as
the video. Good morning, this is Garden America. I'm Brian Maine,

(00:20):
John Beg, NASCAR, Tiger Pealafox. Nobody panicked. We had a
lot of faith in Tiger and he came through for us.
So here we are Facebook Live, Biz Talk Radio. Nothing
wrong with the audio so far, I hope. And John,
I'm going to toss it to you first off, because well,
after all, you're the best looking guy in the studio
this morning. You're you're ten, rested and ready.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
I was thinking that the Tiger took care of the
aphids and the bed bugs and the melely bugs, but
it was the scale that was.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
That was the problem. Yeah, you know, speaking of that,
the other bugs got worked. Dana noticed on our windowsills
some little black dots a couple of weeks ago. I
think they're ticks. I go if those aren't hicks, so
we had Google identify it. Google says they're bed bugs. Really, oh, now,

(01:08):
I don't know what a bed bug. Look, they're little
black dots and they they move around, but you can't
actually see them move around. You had to turn around
for a minute or so.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
Then you know, then that's really bad. If you got
bed bugs.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
You think that there's a little black met We went
to was it Beyer? Yeah, you know what was it?
North Carolina?

Speaker 3 (01:27):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Yeah, And they had that whole building set up that
was replicating a hotel room to take care of things
like bed bugs and things like that.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
We stopped him. We're I mean, we're doing what we
can do. If they are bad, I don't know, I
don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
Whatever you do, don't let them bite.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
That's before you go to bed anyway.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
It's not good to let them bite at anything.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Not really off the topic. We talked about bugs and
maladies and scale and root.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
Rot they will do and rust. You're a big root.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Rot guy from way back.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Shout out to our buddy Hastam and Pakistan And I
was wondering, Hastam, their season is similar to ours? Are
you coming into spring?

Speaker 1 (02:20):
You mean? Latitude wise? Are they the same? Maybe Hasan.
Let us know, Yeah, I think.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
I think of springtime right now for him.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
That's what I was thinking exactly.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
And I Thinkam has a garden center over there or
works in a nursery.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Yeah, let us know, fell us in Hastan, give us
more detail. We we love to learn geographically the various
areas of not just the country, but the world.

Speaker 4 (02:43):
I wonder if you were to, if you were to
think about this, John, where is the biggest impact from spring?
You know, like they talk about in Japan and the
cherry bloss you know they talk about that on the
East coast of the United States as well. You know,
you can talk about areas of the Netherlands where they

(03:05):
have you know, massive fields of flowers and bulbs and
things like that, like I.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
Wonder where parts of Turkey.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
Yeah, also again bulbs that in cut flowers that I
wonder where you almost feel feel the spring change.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Like you'd wake up and not even look outside, but
you could.

Speaker 4 (03:24):
Feel there's this feeling of change.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
It's like it's like when we're in a huge room
and John walks into the room, but we don't see.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
Him in everything lights, but we know.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
We know he's there.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
We feel his presence. Yeah, exactly, so wh okay, so
where would you well, Detroit. He grew up in Detroit.

Speaker 4 (03:42):
In mid was area where they do have that sense
of changing. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
To go along with what you're saying, though, I think
it depends on what part of the world you're in
and you recognize Spring in a different way. For instance,
in Detroit, as soon as the forscithio opened up, you
knew it was Spring. Say that again, c for ccythia
for Ccythia. Okay, after John Forsyth shot.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
Tiger's like, who's John Horisy twenty? Because my firs introduction
to John Forsyth was the old fifties TV show Bachelor Father, right,
and then later on he was in Dina. It was
a dynasty. He was in one of those I think.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
So I never watched those shows, Dynasty and what was
the other.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
Wasn't it?

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yeah, it was like prime time Dallas.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
Dynasty was like Dallas was Larry Hagman. No I know,
but it was like that that kind of show, right.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
And one of our Facebook viewers was going to let
us know. But anyway, back to the uh Fort Scyth
Yeah exactly.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
So anyway, in Michigan, it's for scythia in Detroit when
the crocus came up in the lawns. You know, but
we've talked about how back then people would put crocus bolts.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
In their lawns in the fall.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yeah, so they would come up and before the grass
turmy green, the bulbs would be up and you'd get
to see them.

Speaker 5 (05:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
And then in California you've got the super blooms, right.

Speaker 4 (05:11):
Yeah, but they're hitting miss and you got.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
Depends on the ear.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
But there's nothing more spectacular to me than a super bloom.

Speaker 4 (05:20):
Yeah you think so.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (05:22):
I can only imagine like a big forest, you know,
like we you know, like I mentioned the cherry blossoms
in Japan. You know, I'm just imagining this massive almost like.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
You wouldn't see a change in a forest though.

Speaker 4 (05:35):
With the cherry blossoms go from nothing to blooming.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
You know, I thought you were talking about a literal
forest there. I don't think there's a lot of cherry
blossom forests.

Speaker 4 (05:47):
I mean, yeah, you're right, there is not. There's not
a forest out there.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Well, there could be just a AI that John create
your own cherry blossom forest.

Speaker 4 (05:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
You know what's funny because Kevin jumped in and said
Charlie's Angels. He was the voice of Charlie, but he
starred in another TV show in the eighties where he
was actually had on camera presence. That's your John Forsyth
history for this morning, but lit trivia.

Speaker 4 (06:16):
The more you know, we need that little jingle.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Actually, the more you know, the less you care. Really,
I thought you were going to go. The more you know,
the more you don't want to.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Kind of the same thing. Hey, if you who gets
the newsletter, raise your hand, because I get the newsletter.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
I apologize for the newsletter. I made a mistake.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
You don't need to. Why do you air this dirty laundry?

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Well, because it was a glaring mistake. I wrote an
article that one about the founding of the flower fields
in Carlsbad, the Vernaculous Fields, and left and used an
old template. You know, whenever I do the newsletter, I
take an old template and then I replace all the

(07:05):
old parts of it.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
You don't have to reinvent the wheel everywhere? Right the
anyway you talked about.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
Orchids, Yeah, anyway, I left the title of the old
I think it was orcid mists debunked.

Speaker 4 (07:18):
So if you're trying to figure out how to connect
orchids with ridiculous. They don't.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
He was debunking that myth.

Speaker 4 (07:27):
A lot of people thought they were the same plant. Yeah,
it was a lot of people there.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
I read it in the total state of confusion, and
I thought it best not to say anything.

Speaker 4 (07:36):
Why is it if orchids are related to ridiculous? We
didn't see a bunch of ridiculous in trees in Costa Rica.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
We did not, We did not. We let's see here.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
You know, John has a John in Newport Beach has
a question on getting rid of uh aphis on his roses.
And I found some aphids at my house.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Really, yeah, that's unlike you.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
I you know, I fourteen hundred roses to two thousand
roses and never never an aphen to be found. But
this year I found a few, not all the roses,
I think maybe so far, I found them on two
out of the two thousand. But anyway, John's question is
he asked a two part question. He thinks it's a

(08:23):
David Austin rose, and he wants to know the best
way to identify the rose itself. It's difficult. The best
way would be to join a local Rose society and
ask anyone there, you know, hey, does this look familiar
to you? Or go on David Austin's website and scroll

(08:45):
through their pictures. But it's difficult. But if it's red
and it is a David Austin, there are that's a
minority of what David Austin creates.

Speaker 4 (08:57):
Not a lot. Yeah, so a lot of blush.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Yeah, So there's you know, like the Squire and William Shakespeare,
there's not that many to choose from, so that at
least it's not pink. If it was pink, John, it
would be really difficult to identify, but you may be
able to do it with the red. And then on
the Aphitz Tiger, he wants to know what do you

(09:22):
think of Safer insect control to take care of.

Speaker 4 (09:25):
The a fhits Yeah, I mean easy to use it.
I mean Safer is they have a wide range of products,
but it's probably like a insecticidal soap, is the insect
control one because usually if it's the Safer name, it
says name on it and it's an insecticidal soap, so
you know, you just have to apply it regularly. Highly
suggest only doing it in the early morning. Or late

(09:47):
evening because he.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Is a Newport beach so he's not going to have
as much problem with.

Speaker 4 (09:52):
Burning, burning, But I mean that's just the thing is
people need to remember that whenever they apply apply an
oil based insecticide or fungicide, if if it's a hot day,
glaring sun, it's gonna burn the foliage and you have
to do it once a week for about eight weeks.
That's the other thing too, is people will we'll do it.
They'll see the bugs die, they'll stop, and they don't

(10:14):
realize that it only kills adults. And so those eggs
come out again, the larvae begin to grow into adults,
and then you have.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
To break that generational thing.

Speaker 4 (10:25):
Exactly where do you go? Bra?

Speaker 1 (10:26):
Okay, so we're gonna take a break. I'm gonna end
up hind not here and the family line. Absolutely, we're
gonna take a break. Our guest today quickly is Peggy.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
Peggy and Montgomery.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
Thank you got the whole name in there.

Speaker 4 (10:40):
I was looking at you at the most places.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
So we've had it on before. Anyway, I do stay
with us talking to a nunculus.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
Right now, I get back. I got something to add
to John's Okay.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
I'm gonna take a break for BIS Talk Radio, Facebook Live.
This is Garden America. Stay with us. Okay, if you
are watching or listening, then you know that we are back.
We hope you enjoyed the break and enjoyed the many
sponsors to support this show. Guard in America. Big shout
out the Fertile Om and there are many fine products.
We'll have fertile them on in the not too distant future.
John quickly, you wanted to address something.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
Well, yeah, just to finish up with John's question on
the aphis on his roses. If you don't have a
lot of roses, I think that an excellent solution would
be to use the Bayer all in one rosecare because
you pour that at the base of the plant, it
fertilizes and it takes care of insects and diseases I'm

(11:34):
not sure.

Speaker 4 (11:35):
Diseases also, Yeah, all in one.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
But anyway, for six for six weeks.

Speaker 4 (11:40):
There's the liquid one that you're talking about. Pour in
the ground is a I believe a fertilizer insecticide. But
then the granular or maybe I've got it reversed. Then
there's a granular one, which I think is the three,
the insect fertilized disease.

Speaker 3 (11:57):
But I could have thought that was a spray.

Speaker 4 (11:59):
I could have that flipped.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
But yeah, there's an insect disease in mic control.

Speaker 4 (12:04):
Is that the spray? That's the sprayray.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
Here's what I have to say about it. Anyway, use
it and see what happens.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
Its just something last yeah, hey, and then quickly for
an update in the gardening world in Pakistan. All right,
Hastam says that, yeah, it's springtime over there. There's petunias, pansies,
roses are in full bloom. Wow, and deciduous plants are

(12:30):
starting to wear their green clothes.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
I like it where their Yeah, the leaves are there.
Sounds great.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
All right, speaking of standing great tiger, bringing on our
guest and let's talk about nuky Lessen whatever else comes
to mind.

Speaker 4 (12:43):
Yeah, So this morning we have Peggy and Montgomery joining
us to talk about the twenty twenty five Bulb of
the Year. Peggy, thank you for joining us.

Speaker 5 (12:55):
Good morning, good morning, Thank you so much for having me.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (12:58):
Now, you know, twenty twenty five Bulb of the Year
and what an honor. And yeah, I mean, so you know,
how does vernuculus feel about being.

Speaker 5 (13:08):
Honored like this, Well, it feels fantastic, as you can imagine.
I read present flower Bulbs dot eu and every year
they chose a new bulb to shine the light on.
And I'll tell you what. Renunculus is just the darling
of Instagram in the social media world and for flower
farmers and high end floral design, everybody's in love with it.

Speaker 4 (13:33):
And now when picking out the ball of the year,
does flower bull dot eu? Is there something specific? You know,
because I mean riduculous isn't new? Is there something specific
to this year as far as maybe why they chose it?

Speaker 5 (13:50):
No, that's a great question. There is some thoughts into it.
And even though it is not a new bulb or
you know, or tuber plants, there's a lot happening with
Rinunculus and there's some really exciting breeding going on and
just some fantastic things coming out of Italy.

Speaker 4 (14:11):
Oh really, yeah, tell us a little bit about the bulb,
Like where do these come from? I mean, you know,
coming from San Diego. We have what we call the
flower fields up here in Carl's Bad and I don't
know if you've ever heard of it or seen it,
but basically it's right along the side of the five
Freeway and Carl's bad and you know it's just this.

(14:34):
Do you even know how big it is? John, Like,
I mean, it's got to be like ten acres, twenty acres.
What do you think?

Speaker 2 (14:41):
Oh, I'm not really sure. Yeah, but I know it's
the world's supply for tickelodi rinunculus.

Speaker 4 (14:46):
There you go, and so you know, you can drive
by and you just see this massive field in bloom.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
Just color after color, you know, and they.

Speaker 4 (14:54):
Put them beautifully in rows and stuff like that. So
we're very familiar with the ridiculous bulb. I think most
people in San Diego County are, but you know, not
everybody else's. So tell us a little bit about what
a ridiculous is.

Speaker 5 (15:06):
Yeah, you bet. Their native range is southern Europe, northern Africa,
southwest Asia. So that makes good sense that they are
so widely grown in your area. They like warm weather.
But conversely, actually here, I'm in Delaware out on the
East coast, and we think of them as a cool

(15:28):
season crop, and we grow them early and they go
dormant in the summer, so we think of them as
a spring crop. Now, you guys out there are lucky
you can grow anything.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
Well that's not true.

Speaker 4 (15:44):
You can't grow tulips.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
You can grow tulips, and we can't grow peonies.

Speaker 5 (15:48):
Oh that's true.

Speaker 4 (15:49):
Okay, So yeah, you have ridiculous there in Delaware and
you plant them and then they come back year after
year by themselves. It doesn't get too cool, not yea.

Speaker 5 (16:01):
These guys are zone seven to ten, so I think
if you live in a zone outside of that, and
I'm as seven, I grow them as annuals. They're a
bit fussy to overwinter. I'm not saying you shouldn't try.
Doesn't cost anything, go for it. But their price points
is such that it's very comparable with annuals, and so

(16:22):
I usually grow them that way. I grow them in pots,
or if I'm very organized, I do what they call sprouting,
and I plant them a little bit early out in
a cold greenhouse. And their little root sets look like
the little tiny octopus. They're darling, and you know, the
bottom side's down. And then I grow them as a

(16:43):
spring crop and I just compost them when they're finished,
which is what a lot of folks do now, even
flower farmers. Of course that's different in different parts of
the country, but I'll tell you what. It's such a
popular cut flower. Everybody's growing them now.

Speaker 4 (17:02):
Now now you mentioned a lot of new varieties coming
out of Italy. Now one of the things I've also seen,
because like you said, they are a popular cut flower
and the beautiful range of colors red, orange, yellow, white,
you know, and all in between there. But I've seen
also them as most things in the garden center world

(17:22):
going with a more compact growth plant, and I've seen
and i've seen them change the color with those flowers
as well. Is that some of the some of the
things that they're doing out of Italy.

Speaker 5 (17:35):
So that's that's really interesting because there's really two things
going on. So we they're they're available right here now
in Delaware as potted plants already blooming. You can put
them outside, and they are more compact and therefore smaller containers.
And i'll tell you what, small compact plants ship better

(17:56):
when the growers have to ship them out to the nurseries.
But if you're growing cut flowers, you'd like a longer stem,
and so that's where a lot of the new Italian
breeding is coming in. You'd like those stems to be longer,
so that you can use them in a wider variety.
And you know, it's always astonishing to me because their
stems are hollow, and they've got these great, big flowers

(18:19):
with more than one hundred petals, And you would think
that they wouldn't be a great cut flower, that they
might fall over something from the weight of that flower.
But they are actually outstanding. And even when I buy
them in the store, I can keep them for eight
or ten days in the base.

Speaker 4 (18:38):
Oh wow. And so when you say a long stem,
what are we talking? How long are these stems?

Speaker 5 (18:46):
Well, I think some of the you know, the newer
varieties they're coming out there are a couple of feet.

Speaker 4 (18:51):
Wow. Yeah right, How does that hold that up? Because
to describe the flower for people that maybe don't understand it,
you know, John, you mentioned earlier, David Austin Rose, it's
very much like a David Austin Rose.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Hey suck a smaller version of what they sell at
the Mexican border.

Speaker 4 (19:08):
Yeah, yeah, uh, Hey, we're Peggy. We're gonna take a break.
When we get back, we'll continue chatting about ridiculus with Peggy.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
Yes, Facebook Live let us know any questions comments for
Peggy or right there in the comments section BIS Talk Radio.
Thank you for tuning in Garden America. Brian Maine, John
Bagnasco Tiger Pelafox. This breaks for you, and again big
shout out to Ferdlum. Garden America continues after these messages.
Welcome back. We are back from that break here on
Garden America. Happy to have you along. Whatever's on your
mind right there on our Facebook page there in the

(19:38):
comments questions comments nuculus. Peggy's back with us, Tiger as
we continue.

Speaker 4 (19:42):
Yeah, so, Peggy, we were just chatting about flower bulb
dot E used twenty twenty five bulb of the Year,
the renuculus. Now, now, John, what did you just say,
renuculus renucular live.

Speaker 2 (19:55):
Yeah, there's an Italian songcular nucular finicularincula, right, and we
were just playing on the words and saying rinocularly renuncular
since it was Italian. By the way, I was just wondering, Peggy,
I think it was it last year we were talking
to you around this time and it was lilies that.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
Were the ball of the year.

Speaker 5 (20:19):
Yeah, that's correct.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
I thought I remember that good memory, and their lilies
are going to be a lot better at returning forever
repeat performance in Delaware than rinuculus with.

Speaker 5 (20:32):
They sure are. Doesn't mean I'm not going to grow
some rinunculus in pots to put in the place of
honor when they're blooming. But I am a lily girl,
and I love mine, and I'll tell you what. Those
three lilies, they just get better every year. And because
they produced so many flowers, like up to twenty, they
flower for a really long time.

Speaker 4 (20:55):
Now, now what about the vernuculus bloom cycle? How long?
You know, we say there's star darting. Now you know,
does one bulb produce more than one flower throughout the season?

Speaker 5 (21:06):
Yeah, they sure can it. It's going to depend on
a little bit the side of the tuber you get
in things like that. But yeah, they should bloom. You know,
there should be several blooms, you know, per stem. If
you're going to grow them in a pot, it will
say they have a pretty big root system, So give
them a little bit of space.

Speaker 4 (21:26):
Like how big of a pot would you suggest, like
a five gallon.

Speaker 5 (21:29):
Can or well a five gawn is great. But you know,
even if you have a pot that's only a foot
or so across, I might still try to sneak in four.

Speaker 4 (21:40):
Okay, good, good, good, good point. Now, you know John
mentioned you know out here in San Diego we have
the tickelode raduculous. What is that the same variety that
they're growing in Italy or is it a different one?

Speaker 5 (21:54):
You know what, I'm not sure of all the breeding
ins and outs, to be perfectly honest with you. So
there's several that they could be using in breeding, but
I'm not absolutely sure exactly if it's that one or
Asiaticus or which ones they're putting together.

Speaker 3 (22:13):
Okay, Tekelod is.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
An old strain, so I'm sure that in Italy they
may have used it in breeding, but then come up with.

Speaker 4 (22:21):
Some different hybrids down the road. Now, now, John, would
that tekelodi gets shipped back East and when they grow
those ones out as annuals back there.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
Not so much.

Speaker 4 (22:31):
No, not so much, because they're just way too sensitive.

Speaker 3 (22:33):
Right, Okay, we do have.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
A question for Peggy from Hustam and Pakistan, and Peggy
she wants to know or.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
Wants to know.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
He said that.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
They buy seed for an ankils from Japan from companies
like Sccata Seed Company, and he's wondering if they collect
the seed from the plants that they've grown, will they
stay the same or because it's a highbred, will I
end up with different than what they grew in the
first place.

Speaker 5 (23:09):
Well, I think it's going to be the second to answer.
Some things are bread actually for seed and an in
warm climate like that, you probably have success with it.
I've never grown them from seed myself, but most of
the things you're going to buy are highbred and are
either not are either probably sterile, or you're not going

(23:29):
to get back to the same plant that you that
you got them from. Right, doesn't mean you shouldn't try,
though I always need to.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
It doesn't hurt.

Speaker 4 (23:37):
You never know whe you're gonna get. Yeah, that's something fun.
And I can't imagine growing one from from seed.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
Well, all the blooming Dale I don't know if there's
an improvement on that strain, but the blooming Dale run
on kulous. We're the short, compact ones that you see
at home, deepot in four inch pots in full bloom,
yeah bloom, yeah.

Speaker 4 (24:01):
Yeah. I can't imagine growing growing it from seed because
I mean I've only seen it in bulben So so
Peggy back back East when people are growing those out,
like you say, like it's a you know, you know,
you plant them, you know, in the spring, and then
they kind of grow real short season for you. You're buying
you're buying them in bulbs or do you guys buy

(24:22):
them in like color packs?

Speaker 5 (24:25):
You know what I do both To be perfectly honest
with you, I've just ordered some of the bulbs or
the little two birds. They should be arriving any day.
I'm going to put those in pops. And I do
buy the ones already growing because we take care of
a few older folks in our family and they just
love to get a pot full of this early season

(24:48):
color because they don't get outside in garden like they
used to. So take the ones that are blooming. Make
a little pop, make somebody happy.

Speaker 4 (24:56):
Now, Now do you know as far as like the
soil conditions for these plants? Are they going to like
a well draining soil? Do they like to stay wet?
Do you let them dry out in between waterings? What
would be kind of like the.

Speaker 5 (25:12):
Water care on these Yeah, it's kind of like all bulbs,
like a moist, well drink soil. They never want to
sit in water. But the funny thing is in Latin
rana from Ranunculus means frog or little frogs, because you
do file often find them going in places where the
soil is moist but never wet and never standing water.

Speaker 4 (25:35):
Okay, all right, yeah, good to know, good to know.
So in an area and again full sun, right.

Speaker 5 (25:42):
Yeah, full sun. It'd be best you know, when it
gets really when it gets up in the nineties here,
they're going to go dormant, so you're not going to
get any of that, you know, really dramatic sun, so springstunlight.
You bet they want full sun.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
Tiger.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
We should just mention quickly for our listeners that you're
you are using the term bulb generically to be sorry,
it just John pointed out that he thought they were tubers,
and Peggy had in the very beginning mentioned they were tubers.
But you know, we're using, uh, the bulb to cover

(26:20):
almost anything that you can grab and stick in the
ground a large seed.

Speaker 5 (26:25):
Yes, it's absolutely true, you know, and that's an important
point that you're bringing up. So it's really common to
list bulbs and tubers and things like that is the
same falling under the group bulbs because they all have
a food storage system underground that's going to provide food

(26:47):
and energy for them, they're geophytes, so they all fall
into that group. And and maybe we're all I'm a
little lazy, but we kind of group them all into
the bulb category.

Speaker 4 (26:59):
And I think it's you know, kind of like back
to the name of you know, flower bulb dot eu.
It's it's it's an easy term for everybody to kind
of know and you know, not have to break them
all off into different ones. And like you say, they
all kind of fall into that same category of the
food storage underground, you know, with and then you know

(27:21):
with that though, is there different ways in terms of harvesting?
Let me like, let's say you did plant these in
your home, and you know, do you need to let
these complete their full cycle? If you wanted to dig
them up, over winter them and then plant them again
next next season, do you need to let the plant
do its full site?

Speaker 5 (27:42):
I would wait until the foliage is all yellow and
has fallen, and at that time you could dig them
up and then dry them in an airy place. It
doesn't wouldn't be direct sun, but dry them out and
then you can try to carry them over for the winter.
Not necessarily easy to do, but again, a lot of

(28:05):
folks are great gardeners that are listening. I'm sure. And
if you're overwintering Dalias, you can probably overwinter a renunculus, or.

Speaker 4 (28:15):
You can just be like me and just see what happened.
My dalue is coming back up, coming up right now again.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
Well out here Dallius usually will come back. Let's see
Rick and star Idaho. Peggy wants to know a little
bit off the vernunculus subject. But how did Tubrius pagonias
do by you? And do you like growing them?

Speaker 4 (28:41):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (28:41):
Yes, I gotta, I gotta be honest. There was a
time when Tuberus pagonians were kind of thought it as
a grammar plant, but that time is over. They are
gaining popularity like crazy again. There's been some fantastic new
breeding words with the angel wings and such. And to
be perfectly, I can't think of anything that actually blooms,

(29:03):
you know, starting now, you know, when you buy them,
until the first frog, they just go and go and
go and go.

Speaker 4 (29:12):
Hey, Peggy, we're gonna have to take another break when
we can. When we get back from break, we'll continue
chatting with Peggy about the flower. Bulb dot EU twenty
twenty five Bulb of the Year.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
What bowlb of the Year, Big Stage, the Crown, the
whole deal.

Speaker 4 (29:27):
Yeah, exactly, all right, we.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
Are going to take a break at Bistalk Radio Facebook Live.
John is carefully monitoring your questions, your comments here on
Facebook Live, so we'll get to just aboute everybody anyway,
Break time, BIS Talk Radio, Brian Main, John Big Nascar, Tiger,
Pela Fox here on Garden America. Hey, they're Bistalk Radio,
Garden America. Back right here on Facebook Live. If you
are tuned in on BIS Talk Radio, this would be
the final segment of our number one week come back

(29:49):
after the news, top of the hour, six minutes after.
Hopefully you can catch both hours at least one hour
to get your gardening fixed every week here on Garden America. Tiger, Hey, Peggy.

Speaker 4 (29:59):
So, one of the things that I wanted to share
with people that is on flower bowl dot eu is
they do a group of recipes what they call recipes
with bulbs and tubers and corns where you do this
combination and they have different themes and colors. But also

(30:19):
we talked about, like you said, you know, the rinuculus
do like to me in well draining soil, you want
to have plants that complement each other in terms of watering.
So what are some things that maybe people could plant
with their rinuculus.

Speaker 5 (30:33):
Oh wow, that's a great question. To be perfectly honest
with you, I usually just do rinunculus in a container
because they do have a pretty big fibrous root system
and so they don't necessarily play well with everybody else. However,
saying that, you know, I think it would be fun,
you know that certainly a thriller. I think it would
be fun to have a spiller like maybe white the

(30:55):
copa or some of the blue lobelias in the pot
with them. I think that that could be really attractive. Yeah,
and if pot is big enough, you could certainly use
something else. It's just that probably most of the other
things you're planting are going to be there all year,
and these are going to stop and go dormant when
the weather gets hot.

Speaker 4 (31:16):
Yeah, definitely, you know, like you say, kind of like
a shorter season than most of the other plants that
go through the whole spring into the summer, you know.
You know, and then with the care like you talked about,
you know, you kind of treat them as like an
annual bring them in, kind of take them out. What
are some of the colors I had mentioned earlier, But

(31:38):
what are some of the colors that maybe you're familiar
with over there, because, like I said, over here we
have the one variety, but I know that there's other
colors out there.

Speaker 5 (31:49):
Oh it's crazy. Yeah, they come in all of those
hot colors, oranges and red and yellows, but also pinks
and white, and some of the new ones are kind
of you know, kind of across they're white with pink spattering.
So there's like all kinds of different colors coming up.

(32:09):
I think we often think of these either as excuse me, bright,
the bright yellows, oranges and red, but you can really
go the soft, delicate shoes with the pink and white
and things like that.

Speaker 4 (32:24):
I've seen some like pastels.

Speaker 5 (32:26):
It's getting wider.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
How about gray gray lavender?

Speaker 4 (32:29):
Great?

Speaker 2 (32:30):
What do you mean, like the color of the flower
on the vernocular they have a gray lavender one, gray
lavender one. You know, you just stop when you see it.
That's amazing, especially in the middle of all those like
Peggy saying, the bright orange, bright yellow, yeah, and the
sea like, uh, you know, a gray lavender just stands up.

Speaker 5 (32:51):
Yeah, that would kind of like that gray lavender poppy. Yeah,
I'm sure that you know that cut flower people are
also dry, I mean driving the breeding and there's certain
colors that people want for their weddings, and I'll tell
you that's a popular one.

Speaker 4 (33:07):
Now, Now back where you're at. Being such a short
season plant, does it have many problems, you know, like
past or disease or anything, or is it pretty easy
to grow for you?

Speaker 3 (33:16):
I'm thinking they're not around long enough. That's problem.

Speaker 4 (33:19):
That's what I'm saying. Like I mean, like you know
what I mean for us, really don't.

Speaker 5 (33:22):
Have any problem for me. It is a pretty short
season early crop. And you know, like I said, even
the containers I make for my family and friends at
the mikes of the very early annual they're kind of
done and they get a new gift by the time
anybody could hurt them.

Speaker 4 (33:40):
It's like by the time the snail finds it, it's
already done. Moving so we moved on.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
You know an interesting fact about rohnoncules. You can go
to the flower fields and if you're allergic to bees,
you don't have to worry about carrying an EPI pen.

Speaker 4 (33:57):
They don't attract bees.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
They don't attract bees. Why not, So you'll have acres
and acres of blooms with not a bee anywhere in sight.

Speaker 5 (34:05):
Really, because that they're so double, it's really hard for
pollinators to even get in even if they could. And
I do carry an EpiPens. So yeah, that's the thing
with other you know, annuals or perennials with very double flowers.
It makes it very difficult for pollinators. They choose something else, yeah,

(34:26):
the base.

Speaker 3 (34:27):
That they can check in, but they can never.

Speaker 4 (34:29):
Yeah, that's interesting. I wonder how they do. I mean,
do they just not get pollinated very well? Or is
there something else that pollinates them?

Speaker 5 (34:41):
Sorry, there's a great question. I don't know the answer.
I don't think that there is anything else. And some
plants areselfs fertile to pollinate themselves.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
Right.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
And then also the really double type forms with all
the petals.

Speaker 3 (34:58):
Are not natural.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
Oh so the bloom and nature the wild more wild
form or more open would be more open, right.

Speaker 5 (35:07):
Yeah, just like tulips or anything else.

Speaker 3 (35:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (35:12):
Wow, lots of fun learning, learning a lot of facts
about ridiculous this morning peg em so you know again.
Twenty twenty twenty five Flower bowl Dot E d eu
e edu. I'm all over the place right now.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
All right, you're entertaining us, you know, tuber of the year.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
Hey, you know, I was just wondering, don't at least
out here. Yeah, don't you usually see ridiculous and an
enemies together?

Speaker 4 (35:42):
You usually do?

Speaker 2 (35:42):
Because we were thinking of things. I don't know if
that's true on the East Coast or not.

Speaker 5 (35:48):
I'm gonna have some like animone decane. I am going
to have those, you know, maybe a little bit earlier
than my riduculous. I don't think I'm going to have
them at the same time. Oh really, but boy, would
they be pretty together?

Speaker 4 (36:01):
Yeah, yeah, it happens the same time.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
And there's those new Mona Lisa hybrids relatively new, yeah, Jake,
gigantic flowers.

Speaker 4 (36:11):
Hey, so, Peggy, thank you very much for joining us
this morning. Lots of great information. We'll share the link
on our website and if you get your Ronculus believing
sharing with us and we'll put them in our newsletter.

Speaker 5 (36:21):
Peggy, all right, thank you gentlemen so much, and I
hope you have a great day you too.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
Take care, take care, thank you. Yeah, I think I
know a little bit more about renucular lists than I
did prior to well John's article and Peggy.

Speaker 4 (36:38):
How much time do we have before we have to
take a break?

Speaker 1 (36:40):
Actually we have let's call it.

Speaker 4 (36:43):
One minute, okay, when we get back from the break.
We were talking about pollenization before. Right now with Peggy
and the ronculus, I have an interesting thing that people
need to consider when it comes to pollenization in fruit trees.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
Really, yes, I been waiting for this for a long time.
You have, John, what are you going to add after
the top of the air news break on Bistalk.

Speaker 3 (37:02):
Radio adding the quote of the week before we go
to the new break.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
It quickie, we can do it. Go ahead.

Speaker 3 (37:08):
Yeah, it's from Henry David Throroau.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (37:12):
And he said, though I do not believe that a
plant will spring up where no seed has been I
have great faith in faith in a seed.

Speaker 1 (37:23):
I like that. I had to soak in for a second.
But but yeah, faith and seeds.

Speaker 2 (37:27):
Because no, I was just thinking how much better these
quotes would be if I could just read them correctly.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
Yeah, it wouldn't be as much fun though WithU it
really all right, it is break time speaking of doing
things better? How about a news break here on the
Bistalk Radio Facebook Live. We're coming right back, coming right back,
I should say, do stay with us in his garden America.
All right between breaks is another show All Together and
we are back. It is our number two on BIS

(37:53):
Talk Radio. If you're keeping track, Thank you, hope you
enjoyed that news break. If you're sticking around Facebook Live.
Talk about dedicated listeners and viewers, we have them here
on guard in America. So thank you for tuning in,
and thank you to for the LOM sponsoring again this hour,
this segment, in fact, all segments. Tiget, what am I
talking about?

Speaker 2 (38:11):
Yester s ry Rick wants to know who sells the
best varieties of vernunculus. Oh, well, usually the only bulbs
you can buy are unless it's changed because I've been
out of the business for a while, are the tech
Lodes if you're buying bulbs. But if you want the Bloomingdale's,
which are the short compact ones that would be great
for borders or for pots, like Peggy was talking about,

(38:34):
any local garden center or even.

Speaker 1 (38:37):
Home improvements, Bloomingdale's they carry them.

Speaker 3 (38:41):
I don't know, does Bloomingdale.

Speaker 1 (38:44):
Okay they should with that name.

Speaker 2 (38:48):
And then let's see Lilah and Powie is questioning on
Mona Lisa hybrids.

Speaker 3 (38:55):
Was that an enemies? Yes, yes, yep, enemies.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
I'm always fascinated by that huge either bloom blue or red.

Speaker 3 (39:06):
Uh an enemy with the white eye?

Speaker 4 (39:08):
Uh huh?

Speaker 3 (39:09):
That those are Mona Lisa's.

Speaker 4 (39:11):
Yeah, that's your top one, is what you're saying.

Speaker 3 (39:14):
Yeah, that's the one that I liked best.

Speaker 4 (39:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (39:16):
I think there's some doubles out there.

Speaker 4 (39:17):
Too, right, yeah, uh huh.

Speaker 3 (39:20):
Yeah, and let's see. Uh.

Speaker 2 (39:23):
Veronica says that I Spring Valley says that I like
to see what others are growing in their gardens, and
she liked in the newsletter that Lisa's yellow lavender.

Speaker 1 (39:34):
I saw that.

Speaker 3 (39:35):
Yeah. You hardly ever see yellow lavender.

Speaker 4 (39:38):
Right, yeah, I mean, you know, just not super common
as far as in garden centers. People just think of
that purple and you know, grayfold.

Speaker 1 (39:48):
Now would that would the aroma be the same?

Speaker 4 (39:52):
Didn't you say that one of them was even more fragrant?

Speaker 2 (39:57):
Well that was the we were last week. We were
talking about mirror low right, That's what it was, which
is a variety that I had at my old house
and I haven't been able to find it for a
long time, but then did find at home depot. And
I don't know if it does bloom. I've never seen
it bloom, but the foliage was extremely fragrant, probably the

(40:19):
most fragrant of any lavender foliage that I've encountered.

Speaker 3 (40:25):
Then let's see.

Speaker 4 (40:32):
We're all cut up? Are you reading?

Speaker 2 (40:34):
Oh Veronic was saying the Australian grass trees intriguing, but
she's thinking that touching it to make it bloom might
be a week bit dangerous. I think I've told this
story before, but I always wanted an Australian grass tree,
and I got seeds and planted them from seed and

(40:58):
they germinate just like grass. I mean, they come up
immediately and then they stop. And I had one for
thirty years in my old house and it finally developed
a trunk.

Speaker 3 (41:13):
After thirty years. It was about two to three foot
tall and it bloomed.

Speaker 2 (41:20):
And that was my going away present from my Australia.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
Did you know that it was going to be a
thirty day period when you thirty years thirty thirty thirty year?

Speaker 5 (41:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (41:30):
Did you know?

Speaker 4 (41:30):
Him?

Speaker 3 (41:31):
I knew they were really slow growing.

Speaker 1 (41:32):
Okay, but not thirty years yeah.

Speaker 2 (41:36):
I had seen them at a trade show one time
where people were selling the trunks like they often do
with Joshua trees, you know, kind of bear root.

Speaker 4 (41:45):
Yeah, and.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
It was I think it might have been Texas. So
there was no way that I could get one back
to California. And I'm sure that Australia doesn't allow exporting
of those anymore.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
Who brings things back from Europe?

Speaker 4 (42:02):
Exactly?

Speaker 1 (42:03):
The skis ed as whatever.

Speaker 3 (42:05):
I have no idea what you're talking about.

Speaker 4 (42:07):
Oh, before the break, I had mentioned Yeah, you were
gonna yeah cru citrus right, well, fruit tree pollenization. You know,
pollenization is a concept that we all are familiar with.

Speaker 3 (42:18):
It's pollenization, anything like pollination.

Speaker 4 (42:21):
Pollenization, pollination, to pollinate.

Speaker 3 (42:24):
To pollination.

Speaker 1 (42:26):
Yeah, the Polynesians right for exactly I say, I say both,
I say pollination and sometimes pollenization. But that's how they
that's how they do it. Yeah, that was going to
say that that's how they continue the population.

Speaker 4 (42:41):
So I ret a customer's house yesterday and they have
these apple trees. And you know, we we understand that
a lot of fruit trees are require other trees to
help them pollinate, right, like you can't just have this
one apple. You need another apple to help it pollinate.

(43:03):
You know, there's a lot of trees.

Speaker 1 (43:04):
It takes me back to cross This takes me back
to sixth great health classes. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (43:09):
Well, so they were frustrated because they hadn't been getting
very good production on these.

Speaker 1 (43:16):
Apples your customers.

Speaker 4 (43:17):
Yeah, And I'm like, well, there's a lot of things
that affect the actual production of fruit. I go. You know,
Number one, a lot of stone fruits require certain number
of hours of chill. You know, So we went into
the whole chill hours aspect of you know, why some
things can produce fruit in some places and why some
can And you're.

Speaker 1 (43:34):
Talking about a certain temperature of those chill hours.

Speaker 4 (43:36):
Too, Yeah, what is it forty about forty five degrees?
It's got to be below forty five degree.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
Many hours below forty five And it depends on the variety. Yeah,
for the coast, you're looking at fruits that are between
one hundred and fifty to say, three hundred and fifty
chill hours.

Speaker 4 (43:53):
Yeah. And then you know cherries that you know, they
could require five hundred, so that's why they can.

Speaker 3 (43:58):
Only be eight nine hundred.

Speaker 4 (44:00):
That's why they can only grow in areas that get
cold for prolong periods that it doesn't have to be.
It doesn't have to be severe cold. It has to be.
It just has to be sustained, right, and so, but
it was it was kind of a real obvious problem
with these two apples. Whoever had planted them, it wasn't
the customer that planted. Whoever it planted them, they don't
I don't think they did the right research. Because there

(44:23):
was one apple fully leafed out, already had bloomed, very
spotty blossoms on it. The next apple that was supposed
to be its pollinator, not a bud on it, not
a leaf, not a flower, not anything. But it was
still live. No, it was perfectly a love It just
hadn't leaves out yet. And so I said, here, here

(44:45):
is your problem. You have one apple that's leafing out
early and blooming early, and then you have your other
apple that is supposed to be pollinating this other guy
or you know, the other plant, and it's not in
the same cycle. So when you pick out these you
have to make sure that they're going to actually be.

Speaker 1 (45:03):
Able to I don't think any thought was even given
to that.

Speaker 4 (45:07):
They they just planted them.

Speaker 3 (45:09):
And so two different ones is what you're saying.

Speaker 1 (45:13):
People do that they don't they don't realize.

Speaker 4 (45:17):
Yeah, and so what happened, what was happening is they
were on completely different cycles. So it's it's imagined like
these these two lovers, but they're never in the same
room passing.

Speaker 1 (45:27):
In the night.

Speaker 4 (45:27):
That's exactly what it was. But they were never happening
at the same time.

Speaker 1 (45:31):
You should have said, well, here's your problem. This apple
tray works the night shift, this apple tray works the
day shift. So until they get on the same schedule, yep.
But that is interesting.

Speaker 4 (45:42):
And again I don't think what avocados are like, yes, right,
type A type A y you know. And so it's
just this idea of pollonization, that something so simple could
actually be the biggest problem. And and they were so
frustrated because they had lived this home for two years.
They were the plants were the three the trees were thriving,

(46:04):
but nobody ever told them that, yeah, who, but now
what are they gonna do?

Speaker 1 (46:09):
What's that? What's the answer?

Speaker 4 (46:10):
Now, well, they got to pull out one and plant.
It was something that's going to be on the same sound.

Speaker 1 (46:15):
Now do you pull up and put in or put.

Speaker 4 (46:18):
In another tree somewhere self fertile for rus, and then
let it just do its own thing all across the easy, easy, easy,
just just let it go crazy.

Speaker 3 (46:28):
I think anna would be a good variety for the coast.

Speaker 5 (46:30):
Right.

Speaker 4 (46:31):
Well, this was up in Duluth. So do you think
anna would be still?

Speaker 1 (46:34):
Well, so they get still, It gets plenty of cold.
Luth gets cold, don't they to loose to Luth? Minnesota does?

Speaker 3 (46:43):
It's very cold.

Speaker 2 (46:44):
But to lose no, a matter of fact. And to
lose heights they grow mang goes yep.

Speaker 4 (46:49):
Yeah, this this customer is going to put passion vine.
You know. You know they have citrus everywhere.

Speaker 2 (46:55):
I lived in Toulouse on forty acres of avocados.

Speaker 1 (46:59):
Yeah, and there was some kind of bridge with a
flood or something at one time.

Speaker 3 (47:01):
You couldn't give that no bridge.

Speaker 4 (47:03):
Yeah, that's the problem.

Speaker 3 (47:04):
Yeah, there was no bridge.

Speaker 1 (47:05):
And how I pull that? How do I pull that
out of my brain? That one story you told about. Yeah,
and you know there was a little troll living unto
the bridge too, that was washed away.

Speaker 2 (47:14):
They built the bridge later on Brian, but it was
when we had the heavy rains.

Speaker 3 (47:18):
In the eighties.

Speaker 2 (47:19):
Yeah, and and I was at work and when I
went to go home it had been raining all day.
Uh there we used to call me Arizona bridges where
the water would.

Speaker 3 (47:31):
Flow over over the bridge over instead of under.

Speaker 1 (47:34):
We got to take a break. I love these bridge stories.

Speaker 3 (47:36):
Well, this was a longer story.

Speaker 1 (47:38):
We're going to bridge the gap and continue this story.
We have to take a break. Commercial break for BIS
Talk Radio, Facebook Live. Having a good time this morning,
Tiger Pala Fox, John Magnasco, I'm here a break time
on guard in America. Do you stay with us? Just
like that we are back. Do you want to continue
your bridge story? There's more to the story, right because.

Speaker 3 (47:55):
You could want to hear it.

Speaker 1 (47:56):
Well, how did you did? What eventually happened? How did
you get home?

Speaker 2 (47:58):
We got a boat where I've got about rowboat where
the Arizona Bridge was was about about nine miles from
my house. And they had a marker on the side
of the bridge that went up to six feet to
show you how high the water was going over the
bridge in the rainy season. So you know, if it

(48:21):
was two and a half feet over, you may not
want to depending what you were driving.

Speaker 3 (48:26):
Don't leave your house or well, no, you may not
want to.

Speaker 2 (48:29):
Go over the bridge if the water's that high. Well,
I came home from work, got to the bridge, and
the six foot marker was nowhere to be seen because
the water was over the top of that. Wow, and
there were trees and everything floating down. And it was
a week before I could get home, and my wife
and kids were stuck in Dulus at my house a week.

Speaker 4 (48:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
Now, fortunately my wife had been to the store that morning,
so they had plenty of food and the kids.

Speaker 1 (48:57):
And again no cell phone, don't know, so none of that,
no way before you could even contact somebody. Yeah, so
you went to a hotel and lived for a week.

Speaker 4 (49:08):
I stayed at your wife.

Speaker 2 (49:10):
I stayed at some friend's house for a week and
until the waters until like Noah, the water's received its
far enough that you could could leave.

Speaker 1 (49:20):
Levy's breaking the water's receide sounds like a sermon, doesn't it. Well,
that's an interesting bridge to lose story.

Speaker 3 (49:30):
Yeah, that was called one hundred deer reign.

Speaker 1 (49:34):
And look at you now here and doing a radio
showing plants in horticulture.

Speaker 4 (49:39):
Finally crossed that bridge.

Speaker 2 (49:41):
Very good, Leila, just and power just got a Steward
avocado and she thinks it's the type A, and she
wants to know if she needs B or another A.

Speaker 3 (49:52):
Usually you need.

Speaker 2 (49:54):
The same I mean one of beach right A. But
that's for commer production. Stuart'll be just fine, I think, Alilah,
so you don't need another unless you like to eat
a lot of avocados.

Speaker 4 (50:09):
Well. Also, and this is something that I talk a
lot about with people, even even this person, you know,
to kind of describe where they live. Their closest neighbor
is probably a mile away, you know, like where these
people lived, so they required their trees to be pollinated
by whatever they have on their property, because you can't

(50:31):
rely on other people having other varieties of trees to
cross polony. Now you know Lylah and Poway it's rural.
But she also lives in a neighborhood right where people
have people have apples, people have oranges, and when people
live in urban areas, I usually tell people within a

(50:53):
mile is how the bird flies is about pollenization when
it comes to a lot of these trees. So you know,
if you live in an area that people are growing
fruit trees, I think that far I think so, I mean,
you know, it's I mean there, but there's a lot happen.

Speaker 2 (51:10):
Like a mile, it's a long way for a little
tiny beat to fly. It's a mile each way.

Speaker 1 (51:15):
No, you know, bees fly?

Speaker 3 (51:17):
What did your wings get tired?

Speaker 5 (51:19):
No?

Speaker 1 (51:20):
Where did I read? Bees can fly in a day
up to six miles away from the hive?

Speaker 3 (51:25):
Really six miles.

Speaker 1 (51:26):
I think, I think check me on that.

Speaker 2 (51:27):
Are you talking about six miles away or six miles
of flying during the day.

Speaker 1 (51:32):
Well, I'm okay, I think six miles or whatever. Whatever.
My legit is tiger from the hive itself, So let's
let's find out here.

Speaker 4 (51:41):
So but anyways, I was getting to the point of
when you live in an area where you have other
neighbors and people that are growing trees, a good worry
about there's a good chance that, like you know, John,
about the wind? You know, well, yeah, and then some
things are wind pung.

Speaker 1 (51:54):
When pollinated right to which then in a strong wind, John,
what's a mile? Right?

Speaker 3 (52:01):
What about a hurricane?

Speaker 4 (52:03):
So well, we are we checking the I mean coconuts,
drifted islands, that's true. So what about how far do
bees fly from the hive or how can they fly?
Now what is their range? Reddit? Reddit will say fifty
to one hundred yards. Oh, come on, I don't believe that.

Speaker 3 (52:19):
No, yeah, maybe I was off the typically fly.

Speaker 2 (52:26):
According to AI fly, one to two miles from their hive.

Speaker 1 (52:31):
All right, so it's more than one hundred yards.

Speaker 3 (52:33):
So one day apology he was and.

Speaker 1 (52:35):
I said too much. I was six miles. So it's
two miles, right.

Speaker 3 (52:40):
Yeah you were.

Speaker 1 (52:42):
So there's a five and eighty feet in a mile.
We know that, right, Well, what about a few times two?
But what if you're on the metrics system? I don't
get you know what, I have to calculate that all
the time. I'm starting to learn, though, Celsius a little better. Really, Yeah,
thirty degrees is very hot. Yeah, it's getting warm.

Speaker 3 (53:03):
I don't think people should use celsius.

Speaker 1 (53:06):
We're the only ones that don't. They use fahrenheit.

Speaker 3 (53:10):
But celsius doesn't allow enough. Is you like to say nuance? Right?

Speaker 1 (53:16):
But doesn't it in a sense make more sense that
water freezes at zero and not thirty two when you
think about it.

Speaker 2 (53:25):
Yeah, but if you have a two degree difference in
temperature fahrenheit, you go okay. But if it's centigrade that's
a huge difference, right.

Speaker 1 (53:37):
Yeah, we're just not used to it because we were
brought up on Celsius.

Speaker 3 (53:40):
I don't know, I'd like to have things better defined.

Speaker 1 (53:46):
Yeah, because when somebody says, oh, they're five meters down.

Speaker 3 (53:49):
Well, that's easy because five times three is fifteen.

Speaker 1 (53:53):
And because you're saying, I know what you're saying, because
you're three.

Speaker 3 (53:56):
Just three. Those are easy.

Speaker 2 (53:59):
But when you get to kilograms and kilometers and oh,
come on, they trying to change this was it during
Jimmy Carter's presidency.

Speaker 1 (54:09):
What going to going to the Celsius system? Nobody wanted to?

Speaker 4 (54:13):
Yeah, I remember, I remember. I mean I think everybody
growing up was told, oh, you better learn the metrocs.

Speaker 1 (54:21):
But now what do they teaching?

Speaker 5 (54:22):
Now?

Speaker 1 (54:23):
What are the teaching in school? Now?

Speaker 4 (54:24):
I don't think that they teach that though, I think
that we just it's.

Speaker 3 (54:26):
Still an excellent question, fahrenheit.

Speaker 4 (54:30):
They don't teach anything.

Speaker 1 (54:31):
So what are your kids? Your kids are on the
de feet and yards.

Speaker 4 (54:35):
And yeah, oh yeah, I mean I'm sure they're probably
still saying that, you know, you need to learn the metrocs.

Speaker 1 (54:40):
Okay, so water boils at what on Celsius? John One
hundred exactly zero one one hundred, So that kind of
makes sense.

Speaker 3 (54:48):
But see, when it's one hundred degrees outside.

Speaker 1 (54:50):
It's hot.

Speaker 4 (54:50):
It's hot.

Speaker 3 (54:51):
But now when it's not, it's not boiling.

Speaker 1 (54:53):
But when it's thirty degrees out on Celsius, that's hot.

Speaker 3 (54:56):
How hot does it have to beat the fried egg
on the sidewalk?

Speaker 1 (55:00):
Boy and hren people actually do that?

Speaker 2 (55:06):
Tanya from San Jose says that we need a b
expert on the show. We've had one before, right.

Speaker 1 (55:12):
Now, what yeah, we should do it again.

Speaker 3 (55:14):
We had what was the next next door? Honey?

Speaker 1 (55:18):
What was her name?

Speaker 4 (55:18):
Girl next door?

Speaker 1 (55:19):
How about a bee? How about somebody that's actually now
did she was she a be removal?

Speaker 4 (55:23):
Did they she was a bee keeper?

Speaker 1 (55:25):
We should get like a b removal somebody that has
to go in and actually do it. How they have
to find the queen. They separate the bees, especially when
they're moving to a new hive.

Speaker 3 (55:33):
That would interest you very much.

Speaker 1 (55:36):
So once you locate the queen, the rest of the
hive usually calms down a little bit, because if you're
going to build a new hive, remove them, you move
the queen, they all follow. Actually, I'll be the guest.

Speaker 4 (55:46):
Yeah, yeah, you know a lot about be We.

Speaker 3 (55:48):
Had beehives on our property.

Speaker 1 (55:51):
Yes, you did when you first moved in, when.

Speaker 2 (55:52):
We first moved in, and they outgrew the bee box
or whatever it was, and they just took off.

Speaker 4 (55:59):
Yeah, you need to need to minimize the number every
so often to make sure they stay.

Speaker 1 (56:04):
Because in what they'll do then once they they once
the population gets big enough, half of them are so whatever,
split and start their own hive.

Speaker 3 (56:12):
Yeah, I think these all split.

Speaker 4 (56:14):
There's a lot of maintenance when it comes.

Speaker 1 (56:17):
It's full time.

Speaker 3 (56:18):
Yeah, that you have to keep up on it, a
suit and everything.

Speaker 1 (56:22):
You just you took it as a joke. You weren't serious.

Speaker 3 (56:26):
Well, I wasn't maintaining it with someone else.

Speaker 1 (56:28):
Hey, we have to take a break right now. I'm
a little bit over here.

Speaker 3 (56:31):
I'll break some questions when we come back.

Speaker 1 (56:32):
Okay, this breaks for you, BIS Talk Radio Facebook Live,
Guard in America coming right back, Stay with us. Okay,
ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. Two more segments coming
your way here on Guard in America. This one right
here is the longer segment. We get over ten minutes
to get to get things done.

Speaker 3 (56:53):
We need to answer some questions.

Speaker 1 (56:54):
Let's do it.

Speaker 3 (56:54):
Danis says, you're making her head hurt.

Speaker 1 (56:59):
She said, guys, oh, she's probably she's probably thinking to
me though.

Speaker 2 (57:05):
Let's see John in Newport Beach Tiger, Yeah, wants to
know recommendations for a tall privacy hedge. He's been told
that fight has knitted on two foot centers. We'll give
him a thirty foot hedge, thirty five foot hedge.

Speaker 3 (57:22):
Eventually we get we know we've got this question before.

Speaker 2 (57:29):
This is kind of funny because he said there's very
limited choices for a thirty five foot Sorry, Brian, I
don't know how many meters, which is what I need.

Speaker 3 (57:41):
It would be ten meters.

Speaker 1 (57:42):
Ten meters because you know what, actually, the way you
described it's an easy way to remember times.

Speaker 3 (57:46):
Three meters is easy.

Speaker 4 (57:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (57:49):
Well, we've had this question before. Somebody wanted a hedge
that that grew six feet and stopped. We've had questions
like that that.

Speaker 4 (57:55):
Doesn't Yeah, but this one's easy.

Speaker 1 (57:57):
Thirty thirty five ft actually a lot.

Speaker 4 (57:59):
Yeah, So you know, first off, I want to address
the whole fightus knitted a issue. And you know, instantly
when people say ficus, they throw up their hands and
talk about root systems and invasive and you know all
the things that go along with ficus, and and they're

(58:19):
not they're not lying. It's a true thing.

Speaker 1 (58:22):
You do, like the one that I had years ago.

Speaker 4 (58:24):
Yeah, but I will say that if you drive around
Los Angeles and you drive around palm springs and a
lot of areas, you see massive ficus knitted a hedges
throughout all those areas, right, And you know they're not
pulling up their sewer systems and you know, cracking their
sidewalks and doing everything else. So you know, that is

(58:47):
a realistic consideration for a plant. You know, you do
need to understand that it is a ficus and they
do have aggressive root systems. I think putting them two
feet on center is a bit excessive. I think you
can go a bit farther because they actually can grow
pretty large and cover a good space. You know, two
feet on center is for like an instant hedge.

Speaker 2 (59:09):
They're gonna need regular pruning though, right, hard to keep
them as a hedge.

Speaker 3 (59:13):
As a hedge, they become a tree.

Speaker 4 (59:15):
Yeah, they do need to be maintained, but I think
most anything at thirty five feet you're gonna have to
because even if you went with putocarpus, you know, like
a gracilia or or just a regular macrophile, it's still
going to require pruning to be hedged at thirty five feet.
And they are also another really good hedge as well.

(59:35):
So put acarpus.

Speaker 3 (59:37):
What about Italian cypress.

Speaker 4 (59:39):
Italian cypress are good, but you know, in Newport Beach
one of the issues that they have with Italian cypress
is you'll have a wonderful series of growth on all
of them, and then every once in a while you'll
have one that will die out in the middle and
it's you know, a root rot issue, it's a disease issue,

(01:00:00):
and they don't grow in to close up that that gap.
Where like you know, if you plant Ficus n on
center you have one die in six nobody will notice
it in six months, you know, because it just closes
that gap by itself nicely. It's like the quicksand of
hedges or that, you know that scene like Homer Simpson

(01:00:24):
when he backs into a hedge and he just disappears.
That's that's a fight is knitted a hedge, you know.
So so you do have a lot of options, like
you know, like you said, thirty five feet you you
know a lot of people like you say, Brian want
oh six feet and then stop. Well your options are
very limited at that. But you know Italian Cyprus fight

(01:00:45):
is knitted a potocarpus.

Speaker 2 (01:00:48):
You could use bamboo, yeah, but kind of messy. So
it depends where they area is.

Speaker 1 (01:00:55):
And you would you wouldn't get running bamboo. You're clumping
bamboo then, right, it depends.

Speaker 4 (01:01:00):
Yeah, it just depends on your area and how you
want to maintain it, like we're saying. But the nice
thing about bamboo is you can buy very tall.

Speaker 1 (01:01:10):
It's already established very like.

Speaker 4 (01:01:12):
Like in fifteen gallon cans, you know, meaning you know,
if you want to, or.

Speaker 2 (01:01:17):
You could buy a five gallon wait a week.

Speaker 4 (01:01:20):
You know, if you want to, if you want to
eight foot tall ficus knitteda you're probably looking at a
twenty four inch box, where with a you can get
a fifteen gallon bamboo at like ten to twelve.

Speaker 1 (01:01:32):
You're right, John, there they're so nice but messy.

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
Yeah, and they're definitely the fastest growing.

Speaker 1 (01:01:37):
Right next to kelp right on earth as far as.

Speaker 3 (01:01:41):
Yeah, but kelp requires a lot of water.

Speaker 1 (01:01:43):
And salt water. They prefer salt water.

Speaker 3 (01:01:44):
It doesn't like it doesn't make a good hitch.

Speaker 4 (01:01:47):
Yeah, I falls over. I tried, you know, and like
you say, it just kind of flops on the ground.

Speaker 1 (01:01:51):
Well you could stake them up, could you?

Speaker 4 (01:01:53):
Yeah? But I mean each one, each little.

Speaker 1 (01:01:56):
Kelp tiger Like you step on those little kelp bulbs.

Speaker 4 (01:01:59):
No, you pinch him and then shoot him across.

Speaker 2 (01:02:02):
Hey, your buddy Tony wants to know the one he's
mosquito dunking? Is it best to dunk in courts or
the leaders?

Speaker 1 (01:02:08):
You know, Tony's funny because he always brings up mosquito
dunks of everything that we do and talk about on
this show. Tony, you'll be happy to know that we're
going to be having them on fairly soon. It's that
time of the year, mosquito dunks. So actually, you know
what's funny, was watched this couple in Florida. They've got
a sanctuary that they opened up.

Speaker 4 (01:02:28):
This guy's got kind of sanctuary.

Speaker 1 (01:02:30):
Alligator's birds, you name it. But he's an alligator.

Speaker 4 (01:02:32):
It's not like a sanctuary. That's just Florida.

Speaker 1 (01:02:34):
He's got I know, right, But they're in northern Florida.
It gets cold. But anyway, he's alligators are his his love.
But they have like everything EMUs. They've got quite a
mondays and everything. What was interesting was about six months
ago for his alligator ponds, he was talking about mosquito dunks.
He actually said, Oh, mosquito dunks. We use them all
the time. They're, you know, one of the best things
to control mosquitos. And I'm like, oh, wow, okay, good,

(01:02:57):
you know, so good plug for mosquito dunk and we'll
have them on soon. Tony. Don't you worry because that's
your favorite time of the year and our favorite one
of our favorite clients, but Tony's favorite client.

Speaker 4 (01:03:09):
That's funny.

Speaker 2 (01:03:10):
We got a rose question here from Carla all right,
and she said that they have fog and wind in
Huntington Beach this time of the year and rampant rust
on the roses.

Speaker 3 (01:03:23):
Yeah, talk about alliteration.

Speaker 1 (01:03:26):
Rampant rushed on roses.

Speaker 3 (01:03:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:03:30):
She wants to know she should remove the leaves and
put the bayern or just remove the leaves and give
them a good organic food. Well, that's an interesting question
because rust spreads from spores, and if it's developed and
you start pulling off leaves, you'll see a little cloud

(01:03:52):
of spores. Yeah, spreading everywhere. Yeah, and so so I
don't know. Some roses are rust resistant, but usually just
wait till the weather changes, let it go. Yeah, but
if it's something, if it's a small area, you really
want to control it.

Speaker 4 (01:04:12):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:04:12):
Does fertilow may have some good Funge side five, Yeah,
funge side five.

Speaker 4 (01:04:17):
We were talking about that last week.

Speaker 1 (01:04:18):
Funge aside five. Yeah, it's like the Magnificent seven.

Speaker 4 (01:04:22):
And like you say, when you use the product like
fungicide five, you know, yeah, you can go through and
you can take all the leaves off the plant, you
can do all of that, but it's still on the plant.
When you you spray a product like that, it's on
the plant. So now you're protecting as well as treating,
you know what.

Speaker 1 (01:04:41):
What you're protecting future for it, for it to continue, correct, okay,
not to continue, you know.

Speaker 4 (01:04:47):
And then the nice thing about the fungicide five. I
know we said the name of whatever Bacillus it was
last time, and we couldn't.

Speaker 1 (01:04:55):
Pronounces no not that Israeli ansis no.

Speaker 4 (01:05:00):
Remember I showed it to you and we both oh,
oh yeah, I remember we said what is fungicide five?
Because serenade. There used to be the product serenade, And
I said, oh, I think the fungicide five is a
similar product, and it's a it's a bacteria fungicide protecting,
which is nice if you don't want to use a
chemical out there on your plants, are safety use.

Speaker 2 (01:05:21):
Our friend Lenore in Canyon Country says that she got
rid of her a f it's using the fertile loam
name name soap.

Speaker 3 (01:05:30):
So because of your recommendation.

Speaker 4 (01:05:33):
Spinosa and soap.

Speaker 3 (01:05:34):
You told her to get it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:35):
She got it. Yeah, how about that?

Speaker 3 (01:05:37):
And they're gone.

Speaker 1 (01:05:38):
Told her to get it, they got it, They're gone. Right.
I love that good of some good marketing in there somewhere.

Speaker 4 (01:05:43):
Yeah, I like that one.

Speaker 1 (01:05:45):
Get it, got it gone.

Speaker 4 (01:05:47):
But you know, with rust, what what would you say
is a primary thing of bringing it on to a plant?
Is it just there and then when the conditions are
right it shows itself or is this like a yeah?
Is this like a b thing?

Speaker 3 (01:06:04):
You know it's everywhere?

Speaker 4 (01:06:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:06:06):
So yeah, I I never spray for rust at my
house because as soon as the weather warms up and
dries up, it's gone, and that will all the leaves
with rust will fall fall off.

Speaker 1 (01:06:19):
So what percentage of you said some roses are resistant? Yea,
what percentage of your roses are resistant?

Speaker 3 (01:06:26):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:06:26):
I had fifteen hundred roses.

Speaker 3 (01:06:27):
I don't know, since I never spray, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:06:31):
I would say out of the let's say I have
two thousand roses, there's maybe twenty or thirty that would
have big rust probably.

Speaker 1 (01:06:41):
But you would you could recognize a type of a rose, right,
a species and go, well, they never.

Speaker 3 (01:06:46):
Have a variety.

Speaker 1 (01:06:47):
This never gets rust.

Speaker 4 (01:06:49):
No, because it's because it's not necessarily based on the
species as far as like you know, it's varietal stuff
like that.

Speaker 1 (01:06:59):
What it's been bread right, that's he.

Speaker 3 (01:07:02):
Was using it the same way you use bulbs exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:07:06):
Organization. Okay, we're gonna take a break. One more segment
coming up here in Garden in America. Stay with us,
all right, We are back. Big shout out to BIS
Talk Radio. Thank you so much for being there each
and every week or checking in now and then. We
don't mind the occasional check in or John likes to
say the pop in, the unannounced pop in. We'll take it.

Speaker 2 (01:07:22):
Hey, Kevin and Cardolaine wants to know what you think
about about let me see exactly how he put it here.

Speaker 3 (01:07:32):
Putting up a.

Speaker 1 (01:07:33):
Bat box a bat box, it would be.

Speaker 2 (01:07:37):
To me, it's like an umbrella stand. If you've got
a lot of them, it keeps them all in one area.

Speaker 1 (01:07:43):
I would love that. I like bats. No, let me,
let me take that a step further. I like flying foxes.

Speaker 3 (01:07:51):
Oh yeah, who doesn't like flying foxes?

Speaker 1 (01:07:54):
How do they fly?

Speaker 3 (01:07:55):
Bats can be rabbit though.

Speaker 1 (01:07:57):
Yeah, but if you look at a flying fox, it's
got it's got the head of a fox. It's a mammal.

Speaker 4 (01:08:01):
But not our bats, right, huh? Not our bats? Our
bats are like fruit bats.

Speaker 3 (01:08:07):
Oh, we don't have fruit baits.

Speaker 1 (01:08:09):
No, I mean, like are talking about what bats are?
Rabbit and what? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:08:14):
Like do we have the bats that are like sucking
blood off a cow's heat?

Speaker 3 (01:08:18):
Vampire bats?

Speaker 4 (01:08:19):
Yeah? Do we?

Speaker 1 (01:08:21):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:08:22):
The common bat is great for eating insects. Yeah, And
that's why people put up bath boxes. I think if
I lived in Kardelaine.

Speaker 1 (01:08:30):
I would put Kevin put one up too, absolutely, Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:08:36):
I would. If I was to do a bat box
or an owl box or something, I would make it
where I can watch it and put a camera in it.
Because I want to see what's happening in there?

Speaker 1 (01:08:47):
Where were we we?

Speaker 4 (01:08:49):
Because I mean, if I'm going to do all that
to put something up, do it right. I want to
see it. I don't want to, yes, because you have
to put them up, and you know you want to
set look in there all the time. And you don't
want to look in there all the time.

Speaker 1 (01:09:01):
You don't want to have an answer to that. Just
get a drone flying up there and then and then
you can watch it on your phone.

Speaker 4 (01:09:07):
Then it'll be what's this weird flying thing?

Speaker 1 (01:09:10):
I know there was the other birds going.

Speaker 4 (01:09:12):
A little solid panel up there, a little camera connected
to your WiFi in your set.

Speaker 2 (01:09:18):
I told you the story about when my son Joe
lived in Indiana, how we would uh take a ball
and put it in a sock and throw it up
and watch the bats go after it. A ball, yeah,
like a hard ball, really tennis ball. Put it in
a sock, wind up, throw it up in the air

(01:09:38):
at night and the bats would swoop in.

Speaker 4 (01:09:40):
Really it was just because it was.

Speaker 2 (01:09:43):
A way to catch the bat, because it would grab
it get pulled to the ground immediately as it fell.

Speaker 4 (01:09:48):
I wonder why they would attack a ball. I don't
think what was that's crazy?

Speaker 1 (01:09:54):
And then what would you do with a bat when
the ball and the bat fell.

Speaker 2 (01:09:58):
Eat it cut its head off? No, it was something
something kids just did for fun.

Speaker 1 (01:10:04):
Right, Yeah, like Bruce tearing the wings off.

Speaker 2 (01:10:07):
Lies something that kids did for fund and tear the
wings off flies.

Speaker 1 (01:10:12):
He would he would glostring to him or something and
let it. Those were the fruit beetles, Oh, those big bets.

Speaker 4 (01:10:19):
We took a family trip to Bali when Tossi was
about two or three years old.

Speaker 1 (01:10:23):
Be cause she always wanted to see Balie at two
years old exactly and to see the waves.

Speaker 4 (01:10:29):
And uh, we go to this kind of like sanctuary
thing and you know, like a zoo thing, and you
know over there they don't have the same regulations and
so they have this whole menagerie of animals that you
can stand and take pictures with snakes and lizards and I,
I mean, you're like really like all kinds of with
you're with them? Yeah no, no no, So so we're like, Tossi,

(01:10:52):
what do you want to take a picture with? Out
of all of these cute, cuddly animals and different animals,
she picked out a bat okay, and I'm like, okay,
like and she's and she's in this bat. When I
went to open up its wings because they're like, oh,
grab it here and open up it's its wings. I
opened up my arms full length. That were the wings

(01:11:15):
on this bat. It was massive, huge, and I did
not want to take a picture with the bat, but
because Tassia picked that one out, so I've got to
get in there hold the wings open. So there's this
picture of me holding this giant bat and then Tassi's
just standing there like smiling, and I'm like, do.

Speaker 1 (01:11:32):
You still have that picture? Yeah? Is it on your phone?

Speaker 3 (01:11:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:11:35):
I got it right here, I'll show it to you.

Speaker 1 (01:11:37):
That's I know. They can they get big.

Speaker 3 (01:11:39):
I wonder what would possess someone to do that?

Speaker 1 (01:11:41):
Yes, to do what?

Speaker 3 (01:11:43):
Hold a bat swings out like that?

Speaker 1 (01:11:45):
Because you had to for the picture. That's what you
do for your kids.

Speaker 3 (01:11:52):
What if she wanted a cobra.

Speaker 4 (01:11:53):
That's what I was hoping she didn't, Well.

Speaker 1 (01:11:57):
The cobra, they're gonna you just have to move around
because just look at that.

Speaker 4 (01:12:04):
Yeah, it's crazy, right can.

Speaker 3 (01:12:08):
You put that?

Speaker 1 (01:12:09):
Yeah? Put it up? Okay, you know what it looks like?
An eagle?

Speaker 4 (01:12:16):
Right, yeah, let me see.

Speaker 1 (01:12:21):
Oh my gosh, you know what, you didn't exaggerate at all. Yeah,
it was a.

Speaker 4 (01:12:25):
Good story, and they're strong, like meaning muscle. I had
to open its wings.

Speaker 3 (01:12:31):
Why would it let you do that?

Speaker 4 (01:12:33):
Because it's a captive animal and that's what it does
is feed it. I don't Yeah, I think we feed it.
I don't know. It's you know, like I said.

Speaker 3 (01:12:41):
It's out there for people to see. That's unbelievable, that
is yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:12:46):
I mean, you know, like I said, a nice story, balllet.
He exaggerated a little bit, you know, and then you
see the picture.

Speaker 3 (01:12:52):
And Tiger does not usually exage.

Speaker 1 (01:12:54):
I don't think he gave your story enough justice.

Speaker 4 (01:12:57):
I'm gonna post it right now onto our Facebook, so
the people will have to go into the Facebook page
in order to see it. You know, I can't post
it obviously on the chat.

Speaker 1 (01:13:04):
Hey, we're running out of time. We got a couple
of questions we want to answer John before we have
to say audios for the next week. What I'm looking well, yeah,
got we've got a minute, minute and a half.

Speaker 3 (01:13:12):
Oh my gosh, yeah, we got a lot of stuff here.

Speaker 1 (01:13:16):
We're in trouble. The bat story took too long.

Speaker 2 (01:13:22):
Yeah, Kevin said that he wanted the uh bats for
insect control. Yeah, there's some people used to get rid
of a squity do a box definitely.

Speaker 3 (01:13:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:13:35):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:13:35):
Let's see.

Speaker 2 (01:13:38):
Linda in Redding. It's got black spot already on her roses.

Speaker 3 (01:13:42):
How to treat? That's your five to five funch.

Speaker 2 (01:13:44):
A side right right back to it, right right back
fun side five five ft.

Speaker 1 (01:13:49):
On funge a side five. One more question, John, if
it's okay.

Speaker 2 (01:13:52):
Tanya Tiger says that she uses a bone eyed house
Plants Systemic in her greenhouse for mealie bugs, but she
can't get it anymore, said any replacement suggestions?

Speaker 4 (01:14:05):
What was it called bonines which.

Speaker 2 (01:14:08):
It was systemic us plant systemic, But she needs to
get rid of root mealy bug.

Speaker 4 (01:14:12):
Oh yeah. That was a great product because they sold
it in a like a granular powder, and it was
a very low concentration of the Amita cloprid systemic product.
I will say it was just Amita cloprid, meaning that's
pretty much all systemic insecticides. So even if you were
to buy something like the Fertilum tree and shrub or

(01:14:33):
the Bayer products and just use a very small amount
of it, you would get the same results. It's the
same product, but it was just in different dilutions.

Speaker 1 (01:14:43):
All right. That said, Well, leave you on that note,
Thank you so much for tuning in. We do appreciate
you BizTalk Radio of course, all of our Facebook live people, listeners, viewers, whatnot.
