  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's all right. So This is coming from the
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: guy who always likes the new car. You know, man,

  Speaker 3: No, I you know, we don't drive.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm driving one, you know when I drive to
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: see you and make a couple of appointments.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the car sits there.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it'll it won't last long. I think I think
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: you'll get a new car. Suit.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Well, wait a second, we are going to get a
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: new lease for both of us.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: Oh so you're like gonna is Dana's purchased, no hers
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: his lease, so you're going to turn it in that
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: one and then you get you're still going to be
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: getting a new card.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, so you are half right, Yeah exactly.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: But anyway, John, do we have anything we can share
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: as far as comments from our Facebook viewers?
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: John listeners, Well, Veronica and Spring Valley was given four
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: sweet potatoes seeds.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: Sweet potato Yeah, okay, And.
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: I'm trying to think of how sweet potatoes are grown.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: You can't buy sweet potatoes at the garden center right
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: because of some virus that's in them. So you have
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: to go to a specialty company and they get seedlings.
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: But I'm trying to think if the seedlings come from
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: tissue culture, they're not really seedlings. They're divisions or or
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: cut it rooted cuttings.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: You don't think they might get You're right, that's not
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: a seedling, right, I think they might be rooted cutting.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: What is this virus that seems to be perpetual? They
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: can't get rid of it or what not?
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: The same as the virus on that ship, not the
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: haunt of.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Virus, but it is something sweet potato virus.
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: But because of that, and because of the sweet potato industry,
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: you can't, you know, just go and buy them anywhere.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: So, anyway, she got sweet potato seedlings, right, She wants
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: to know how to plant them because she wants to
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: put them in a pot, so they should be in
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: really loose soil.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: Like a cactus mix. Very right.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: And she wants to know how many per pot ooh.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: And fifteen gallon pot? I'm assuming would you do ye?
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: Could you do one in a five or could you
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: do three in a fifteen?
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: See the thing that I when people talk about putting
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: multiple in pots, I instantly say kind of like not
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: to that in general, just because then you have these
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: plants growing into each other and especially like a sweet potato.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: It's kind of hard to kind of like determine where
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: you have one pot, you just empty the pot. You
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: got them out easy. You put multiple ones in, even
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: if it's a big pot, it's not easy all the
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: time to get them out, especially because you know, sometimes
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: you're waiting. You dig them up and you're like, oh,
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: that's not big enough yet. But then there's other ones
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: that you know must be.
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: Aren't you just harvesting at the end of the year anyway, Well,
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: when you're not harvesting potatoes during the year.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: No, But what I'm getting at is like, you know,
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: if you have three in one pot, one could be
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: farther along than the other. Right, you don't just have
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: to harvest them all at once?
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Why not?
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: I mean you can, but you don't have to, right, Like,
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: if you put them in three different pots, you can
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: be like, oh, this one's far long, I'm going to
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: get this one now, I'm going to leave these two
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: let them keep going, or let this one keep going.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: So I don't know, I mean, I was thinking you
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: just wait till the end of the season when the
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: plant's dead, and then you harvest.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: And then that's just it. Yeah, and whatever you get,
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: you get. Yeah, don't throw a fit, right, Okay, well.
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: I'm not sure anyway, she wants to know the potting soil.
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: I think ocean forest would be perfect. Yeah, because got
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: everything you need, perfect drainage. You have to definitely have
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: a loose soil on potatoes.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and then if you do it in a five gallon.
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: The nice thing about, like I say, you can just
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: dump it out and boom, you got the plant. So
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: you're just saying gallon, You're.
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: Just saying one per five gallon.
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, where if you have a fifteen gallon, a little
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: bit harder to dig out or dump out, and you
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: can put more in there. But then I'm thinking like,
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: oh you can. You might be able to if you
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: do them in separate ones, you can kind of do
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: one early.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Hey, we have to take a break, how about right?
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: The first break very exciting. The first segment's over. We're
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: going to go into segment two.
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: And when we come back, Paul, it's got a comment.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: And we also have the quart of the week. Oh okay,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: from the recycled newsletter from.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: Three years ago.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: It was a good one. We brought it back memories. Anyway,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: we've got to take a break for our friends on

  Speaker 6: Welcome back to the Garden America Radio show with Brian,
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: John and Tiger.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: That worked out perfectly in terms of the amount of
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: time we spent on commercials. Biz Talk Radio Facebook live
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: reading comments. We are back Tiger's pool House, San Diego, California. John,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: you have something that you want to read from? Is
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: it a comment from our our Facebook page during our
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: live broadcast.
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: I thought we were doing the quote of the week.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: We can do that as well. This is the part
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: of the show. We just throw it to you. Toss
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: it to you, and you decide the order of things
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: you want to do.
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: John, what do you.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Want to do?
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: I want to get the quote to a size that
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: I can read, which I.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Phone keeps touring around for some reason, like here you go, Bucky,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: you got it? What's this?
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: I don't want that there.
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: That's a quote. That's a weird quote.
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: Anyway. The quote says by hell Borland garden writer.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Right, sounds like my insurance man, and it sounds to
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: me like the guy over the fence on home.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, hel Borland.
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: Anyway, he said that man is wise and constantly in
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: quest of more wisdom, but the ultimate wisdom, which deals
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: with beginnings, remains locked in a seed. There it lies
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: the simplest fact of the of the universe. At the
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: same time, anyway, if you want to hear the rest
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: of the quote, it here's what I heard, Seed and universe.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: Seed and universe.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Tiger's going to give you some help here, Okay, can
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: you read it.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: I'm just having problems, and you know what, it actually
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: was a very thoughtful quote.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: But read it from the beginning to the end. Don't
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: start at the end and then work your way back
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: after the beginning. I think that's what John did.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: Ye.
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: Now, my problem is I just couldn't get it large
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: enough to read.
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: They don't have it, so come back to it anyway.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's well, if you have the newsletter, you can
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: read it. Yeah, if you get the newsletter, you can
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: read it.
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: Or we archive all our shows. If you go back
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: to Mother's Day three years ago, yeah, you'll hear it.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: It's there, you'll hear it.
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: I wanted to mention Paula Tiger. It said that she
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: put two in a big pot last year too, sweet potatoes. Okay, yeah,
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: I assume she's talking about sweet potatoes and what she said.
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: The potatoes are big now and they're crowding the pot.
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: So I don't know what Big meant. Did Big mean
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: five gallon.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: Or did Big mean fifteen? Or did Big mean a
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: whiskey one barrel?
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: It could be a five gallon, would be my guest.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: All right, man is wise and constantly in quest of
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: more wisdom. But the ultimate wisdom, which deals with beginnings,
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: remains locked in a seed. There it lies the simplest
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: fact of the universe, and at the same time the
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: one which calls fourth faith rather than reason.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: And you've read that very well. Mistake did not stumble.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: You know, he's sitting right next to you.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: I was able to hold every.
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: Word, unlike the previous attempt.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: You know. But back to the sweet potato. You know
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: that brings up when people speak about issues with the
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: garden and plants. You know, I learned this that you
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: have to be very specific in what you're describing, because,
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: like we just said, big pot, what is big pot?
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: The pot to all means a lot of different things
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: to a lot of different people. So using things like, oh,
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: it was a half a whiskey barrel, it was a
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: fifteen gallon, it was a five gallon pot, or you know,
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: the tomato was as big as a baseball or big
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: as a candaloo.
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: You know, like back in the hippie days, and big
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: pot was completely different.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, yeah, back it is changed. Well, there's different
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: strains now.
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: Oh okay, it was only one before.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: A couple but.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: I think for some reason back in the day, Acapulco
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: gold was Yeah, it sounds like something out of Cheech
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: and Shong.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know. And and you know, I always tell
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: these people with watering, because people come in and I say, oh,
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: it looks like your plant is being overwatered, and they go, oh, no, no,
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: I am not. I only water once a week, and
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: I go, well, overwatering it could be once a week
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: overwater Well, overwatering is a term that we use just
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: to show you that the plant is just has too
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: much moisture in the roots. Overwatering could also mean lack
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: of drainage. It could mean poor poor you know, soil,
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: you know another thing. So like the results though are
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: just there's too much moisture around the base of the plant.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: You know, you might not be able to solve that
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: just by cutting back on water. You might have to
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: actually change the potting soil, put it in a bigger pot,
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: you know things.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Not enough drainage, that whole thing.
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: I have two retail nerve ursery stories about overwatering on
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: Boston ferns because Boston ferns used to be really popular.
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: Not so much anymore, right.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: But you used to.
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: At a if a nursery land had a sale on
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: Boston ferns, each store could sell two hundred in a weekend,
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: which is a lot, right.
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: Of one plant, one particular.
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: Now you probably don't sell two hundred in a year. No, yeah,
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: And let's see. The The first story is when I
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: was managing the Escondido store and my assistant manager was
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: from Iran and he had a degree in agronomy and
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: plant genetics, and it was very difficult for him to
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: understand that we would guarantee plants if they died.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: And it's just a customer story where he's talking to
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: a customer.
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there's two of them.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: This is good.
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: So the first one, the one I'm talking about right now,
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: is somebody brought back a Boston fern that was dead
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: and he wasn't going to replace it, and I had
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: to go out. I took the customer aside and I said, here,
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: we're happy to give you another one. And then afterwards,
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: I said, Artie, you know we guarantee plans when somebody
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: brings back a dead one, we're going to replace it.
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: And he said, yeah, but she didn't take care of it.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: She killed it.
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: And I said, it doesn't make any difference. And I said,
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: if you ever want to be a manager, you've got
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: to learn to follow company policy. So he thought about it.
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: A week later, I see a different person come in
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: with the Boston fern, and the Boston ferns drive obviously,
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: and he said, you didn't water it, and the woman goes,
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: I watered it every day. He goes, look at how
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: dry it is. There's no way you watered it. And
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: she says, are you saying that I'm a liar? He says,
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: look good, I'm going to give you a new one,
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: and she goes, oh, okay, but only if you admit
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: you didn't water it. She good, She goes, oh okay,
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: I didn't water it. So afterwards I took him aside
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: and said, you know you're halfway there.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, what you did was cute and entertaining.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but can you imagine that only if you admit
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: you did something?
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: What other like what other industry? You know, I get
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: why we guarantee plants. We want people to buy something
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: without the without the them feeling the risk of oh
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: if I don't keep it alive.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: You know, I want them to be success. You want
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: to promote to be successful.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: You don't not just wanted to be successful, but you
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: want them to buy something. Because when when somebody walks
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: through a nursing, they look at a plant, they're like, oh,
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: that's forty dollars, they'll look at it. ME like, oh,
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: but if I kill it, that's forty dollars that lose it.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: I just I don't want to spend forty dollars. So instantly,
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: if you guarantee a plan, you take that idea, Oh,
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: if I kill it, I'll bring it back. More likely
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: than not, they don't bring it back. They still lose
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: the forty dollars, but in the store they you've taken
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: that risk out of their head.
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: I've put thousands of plants in my life and and
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: killed hundreds. Yeah, I've never once brought one back for
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: a GUARANCEE.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: It is break time once again.
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: Okay, we'll be giveing you this.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll continue that absolutely, So break for Bistalk Radio,

• 19:38

  Speaker 2: Talk radio.
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: Do stay with us.
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: Welcome back to the Garden America Radio Show with Brian,
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: John and Tiger Come.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: We'd be back after the break for a new segment,
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: and we are segment number three, John and Case. You're
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: keeping track and this is one of our longer segments.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: A lot of time to get things accomplished. I want
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: to pick up where we left off before the break.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: So we're talking about plant guarantees and why it happens, and.
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: You know, so you understand why we do it. I
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: have never agreed with guaranteeing plants ever.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: And I agree with you because where I'm getting at
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: with this is like, okay, clothing. You know, people will
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: guarantee clothing. Oh, it didn't fit whatever, bring it back.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: You can either exchange it for a new one. We'll
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: give you money to use towards another thing. Sometimes they'll
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: give you your money back, depending on the store.
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: The difference in clothes, though, is a pair of pants
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: costs them a dollar and they're charging you one hundred.
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: So you can bring it back ninety nine times and
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: they still break even.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: And when you bring it back, they could put it
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: back on the shelf and sell it to someone who actually.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: Can't do that with a dead plant.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: You can't do that with a dead plant. It instantly
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: goes in the trash, right, And so what I'm getting
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: at is like, there's not a lot of other things
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: out there in the world. Like if you go to
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: the grocery store and you buy some pasta and some
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: spaghetti sauce and some you know whatever.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: It doesn't guarantee that you're gonna speak it.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: To you well, and you make a terrible meal out
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: of it. You don't get to bring it back to
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: the store and be like, oh, it.
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: Didn't work out, so I didn't like this.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: So you're giving somebody when they buy a plant, they're
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: responsible for it's life or death.
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: See, but that's the wrong way to think about it.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: Well, but that's what it is.
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: But is it, John? Is it? Promise?
• 21:49
  Speaker 7: It is?
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: If you have a plant, you're responsible for it.
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: What if it's a bouquet of flowers.
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just your guaranteed is going to die. You're
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: not like, oh, I'm going to bring these back to life.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: But but you are. You are giving. Unlike clothes, you've
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: got a responsibility.
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: You have a responsibility.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: What if you buy a pet and the pet dies
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: in six months? Do you take it back and say.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: There's a line? No, you're you're bringing up a whole
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: nother thing.
• 22:14
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: Where do we draw the line?
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, I try to keep it alive. I fed it, Well,
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: did you overfeed it? No, I'll give you a new
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: pet if you admit that you overfed.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: Just admit, just admit you gorgeed it.
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: Okay Part two of the story. Yes, here we go okay.
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: I'm a buyer for nursery land working at the San
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: Juan Capistrano store, and my son is assistant manager. And
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: the same thing. Somebody brings in a Boston fern, and
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: my son's a little bit better at customer service, and
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: he goes, he goes, oh, he says, okay, I'll get
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: you another one, but you've got to make sure you
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: water it. Don't let it get dry like this. She says,
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: I watered it all the time, and he goes, well,
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: look how dryet is. It's really light. She said, I
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: watered it just this morning. He goes, Oh, my gosh,
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: do you think it caught on fire?
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: Oh goodness.
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: So that's the end of my boss and fern stories.
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: No.
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: Carla says that the quote tiger Yeah made her think
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: of a recent movie that was called The Story of Everything.
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: The Story of every I never.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Heard of that. She said.
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: It was very intellectual, a lot of it was over
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: her head, but it was really fascinating.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: She said.
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: It's not in theaters anymore, though. I have to look
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: that up. The story It's not everywhere.
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: Is it. It's not everything.
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: It's the story of everything, not everywhere in theaters.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: Everywhere with everything.
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: No, no, no, By the way, Carla, I am now
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: two thirds of the way done with THEO of Golden
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, and it just keeps getting better and better.
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: And if you if you haven't read that book, Carla,
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: you can have my personal guarantee that you.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Will like it.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: Oh look at that. Yeah, look at you guaranteeing plant
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: guarantee plants and he guarantees.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: Did you take a book back?
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: Exactly?
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: Can she return the book?
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: John?
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: That's the beauty of a library, right, bring right back.
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: Their friend Carlos says that her friend took a TV
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: back to Costco that his special needs nephew kicked his
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: foot throw and they gave him his money back.
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: Costco is really good. Remember was it Nordstrums that you
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: can take anything back? Oh yeah, you you could bring
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: your tires you bought from Firestone back to Nordstrom and
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: they would take it back.
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: You know, that was a story they used to use
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: in training classes all the time, that somebody brought tires
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: back to Nordstrum and they gave them their money back.
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: And Nortrum doesn't even sell tires.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, at least that both of you
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: pronounced it correctly, Oh did I? Yes?
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: Most a lot of people say nord Strums. They put
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: an s on there.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: What did I say?
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: You said and you said it correctly? I said nord Strum,
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: and so did John. But I'll tell you peoplebout nord drums,
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: it's not nord Strums.
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: It's it's apostrophe us. If you say nord Strums.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Show's possession. Yeah, you don't possess it. You don't have
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: any mistake in, you don't have any steak anyway.
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: I used to sit through those training classes and they'd say,
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: you know that that manager actually got a promotion because
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: of that, a raised because of that, and I thought fake.
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: Not only would I have fired him, I would have
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: told the customer please never shop here again. Do you
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: want people like that coming.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: To your store? You mean they just complained about they
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: just back on tire.
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: You don't even sell you don't sell tires.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: You know what you know?
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: Now I can tell you probably what their thought is.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Well, that's why I'm not in retail anymore, is what
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: they're thinking. Well, they they came into the store, they're
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: probably going to stick around and buy something. That's why
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: not with their tire money? I'll tell you that they're here.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: They're going to shop for something else. We got them in.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to put myself in the place of whatever
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: logic they might be using.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: No, you know, well we got them.
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: It's just like you know what, we get people in
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: the store.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: We used to well when I used to do live
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: remotes at car dealers. Right, oh yeah, And there's years
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: one story here. I was in Powway Pow Way forward

• 26:23
  Speaker 2: coming up and you can see a good crowd. And
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: about halfway through, maybe not even quite halfway through, the
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: remote manager says.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: Hey, we're not selling any cars.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: What can you do? I go, I see a lot
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: of people here. We brought him here. You have to
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: sell the.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Cars we got them here.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: You've got a lot of traffic on the lot.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: Now they're just not buying anything.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Well, you know what, we got him here, right, So
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: same thing. They're there.
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: They got to spend money, slash their tires while they're
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: in the party.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: You have people that you have a lot of Loloki
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: lose that just they walk around, but they don't end
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: up buying anything. Hmmm at our store, you probably have
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: a lot of regular customers, don't Yeah, I.
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: Think I think most of the people we have our customers.
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: I mean, don't get me wrong. We'll have the occasional
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: people that are just walking through Mission Hills and they'll
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: walk through the nursery because they just want to. It's
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: not what's happening. And we have the we have the
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: people that have their kids and they just want to
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: come and see the chickens and they don't necessarily buy anything.
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: That's fine, I.
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: Mean, but then you get new plants every week, so
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: you always have people that you see something, don't want
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: to come in and just see what's going on. Yeah,
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: why did you get new?
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: Right? Right? So yeah, I don't know if we have
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: too many, LOOKI lose, but you know, I mean, you know,
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: with the with the garden walk today, we'll have a
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: lot of traffic through there. People will see all the
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: you know, the plants and what's different and what's new,
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: and you know, and then they go walk the community
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: and they see what people's in people's yard. Then they
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: always come back to the nursery to try to see
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: if we have it, and they want to take it home, so,
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: you know, I mean it's it's hard though, because sometimes
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: what's actually happening in a garden doesn't always time out
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: with what's in the nursery, you know, meaning you know,
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: if somebody's you know, uh, you know, annual flowers are
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: in full bloom and their landscape, those are already gone
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: from the nursery because you should have planted those three
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: months ago, you know, kind of a thing, right, right.
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: So how's her volume? By the way, the reason I
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: asked is the listeners? It says it's low, is it?
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah? But think no, it could be their particular We
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: never know how much which device there. It's just like
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: you know, I'll do a spot occasionally and I'll get
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: it revised the next day, says a client says the
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: music's too loud, and then I'll listen to it and
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: I go, it's not loud.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: But what device are they listening to it on? Yeah?
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: So but we got we got the all good. You
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: can turn it up, I think a little bit too, right,
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, I mean I can or not. You I'm
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: just saying whatever device they're listening on.
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: Like it's like, yeah, it's maxed out on your device.
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: Do you know.
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: One of the worst things about my computer going down
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: was I was supposed to up all the roses for
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: the auction.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: It's supposed to go.
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: Live on Monday, and and I can't post them.
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: How did the auction go in alcloaholma.
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: Good, really good. They made eight hundred dollars, but they
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: only had like fifteen roses.
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: There was one rose that you were saying, is one.
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: There's only this one rose in like the United States.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: It was the first one offered in the United States.
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, what was that again?
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: DIPLOMATICA Yeah, that's what it was.
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: I feel like you pronounced it diplomatica last time though
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: it was I wrong? Am I wrong? Deep blue?
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: Well deep it stands for diplomat, right, Yeah, that's what
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: I'm saying. I think diplomatka would be the Ukrainian pronunciation. Okay,
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: but I'm really not an expert on Ukrainian.
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: No.
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: No, But when I went to the University of Michigan,
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: my roommate was sixteen years old taking third year Russian.
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: Wow, good for it that It's like, what is Tigger's
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: thinking what does.
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: That have to do with that?
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: I was thinking about that.
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I know there's a lot happening right
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: now over there, but I.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: Don't think I've ever told anyone that. Obviously he was
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: some kind of a prodigy.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: He because he's in college sixteen.
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: He was America American. Yeah, yeah, the next year he was.
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: The next semester he started taking Chinese too.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: All right, it's break time.
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: All right, is this what we shut off?
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Or no? No, we have one more segment after this and
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: then we'll talk about shutting down firing back up again
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: top of the hour. So break for Bistalk Radio Facebook Live,
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: and we are coming right back. Apparently this show is
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: still called Garden America, so that's uh, that's been in
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: place for quite some time. So no reason to think
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: any further except this break coming up here on Garden America.
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: Welcome back to the Garden America Radio Show with Brian,
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: John and Tiger.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: If you're watching on Facebook Live or listening, that was
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: probably one second. That break BIS Talk Radio a bit
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: longer because that's where our sponsors hang out and we
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: have to play all the commercials. So thank you for
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: your patients. We oh this is our final segment. So
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: after the segment, Tiger, like you mentioned, we are going
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: to shut down on Facebook, yep, and then we'll pick
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: things load, reload, pick things up where we left off
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: pretty much not quite top of the hour.
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: It was funny because last week, because you weren't here,
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: you didn't have the format. We didn't have the format,
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: and John and I were having such a great time
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: chatting away with our listeners that we just went straight through.
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: We blew through the break, yeah you did, and then
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: we got shut off by Facebook.
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: So overally after so much time, which is why we
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: have to shut down.
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: And Veronica said, it's nice to have you back to
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: keep us on times.
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: Well, thank you very much. I appreciate that.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: So that's why we shut down because Facebook they can
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: tolerate us for about an hour and then we have
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: to take a break, sneak back in, we come back
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: in again. So this is the final segment for that,
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: I guess for all intents and purpose. The first hour
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: of BIS Talk Radio.
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: And Kevin in Cordelaine, Idaho wants to know whatever happened
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: to my roommate?
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: Great question.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: Do you know he's a diplomatic?
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: I still keep in touch with my college roommate. I do,
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: do you what's your lives here in San Diego? I hanged.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: I see him at least once a month.
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: This guy was, Uh that was the beginning of drug
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: use back then, I mean the beginning of drug use
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: be well, like there was no drug use in high school,
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: and then people in college were just beginning to drugs.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, I see, I mean as far as drugs being
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: consumed by younger people.
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, So he he was into drugs and I
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: went to visit him one year after I switched colleges
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: after the first year majors as well, and I went
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: to visit him, and he was living with a girl
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: that was deaf, and that was the only time last
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: time I saw him. Yeah, but he.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: Got into drugs, you said, yeah, But I don't know.
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: If that changed anything for him.
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: I don't know if it. I don't know if it
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: did or not. Back then it was just mainly marijuana.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: So who knows, all right, Well, gardening, yeah, well, speaking
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: of marijuana, it grows, it grows, you have to cultivate,
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: you have to take.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: Care of it.
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: So is by the way, Brian going to plant a
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: new garden bed. She's going to put in some veggies
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: this week.
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: Oh really?
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: What kind of veggies?
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: I was wondering whether or not I should put some
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: veggies in. I. You know, those beds that you planted,
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: for the most part were a disaster, Tiger, yep, because
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: I did not jackhammer the soil before I put the
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: new soil in the top.
• 34:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: It was like only like six inches of new soil. Yeah,
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: so you six inches down.
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: You hit rock almost so on the on this Delu bed,
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: I was out there and I jackhammered everything up and
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: then mixed it, and I think it's going to do
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: really well. And because of that, some of my veggies
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: did not do well last year, so I'm wondering. But
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: then again some did too well. You know, like, what
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: am I going to do with fifty cucumbers?
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: Not all plants take a couple?
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: Well, I don't have them this year, But last year.
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: I brought you some last year, didn't I not that.
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: I all, huh, what did you bring me that was squashed?
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: Didn't I?
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: Really? Good eggs?
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: You're my egg guy. You know.
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: Our house cleaner was by yesterday and I gave her
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: a dozen eggs.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you this, one of the best eggs I've
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: ever had. Where does your house cleaner live, by the way,
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean what part of San Diego?
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: Oh, I don't know, Probably Fallbrook area.
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: Okay, So you know we've talked about on the show
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: before a number of times that Mother's Day is the
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: start of spring for a lot of people. I was
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: just looking on the weather matters.
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: You were looking at weather and you saw some pretty
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: bad weather, didn't you.
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, look at that. So in Philadelphia right now, it
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: seems like that's probably one of the worst areas right now.
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: It's stormy in sixty three. But that's not old. That's fine, right, Yeah, Yeah,
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: I don't see any cold. I think I think that
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: it's just rain.
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like not right. It's when it's snow that you
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: have a problem.
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, freeze. So yeah, I think I think they're pretty
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: good to start today.
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: Well they usually say uh in Detroit anyway, it's like
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: you can plant your uh frost sender stuff after Mother's Day. Yeah,
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: so so next week they.
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: Should be moving on. Did I bring I didn't bring
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: up the Fallbrook adopted tree thing yet, right, No, should
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: I bring that? We have to time.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you get three, we're twenty five, you got five,
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: You got a couple of two or three minutes.
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: So do it. Yeah, I was reading the news and
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: you know, we've talked about Fallbrook being the avocado mecca
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: here in California, I think almost in the whole United
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: States too, But they've seen a decline in the amount
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: of trees, the amount of farms that they have now
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: producing avocados. So in an attempt to bring awareness to
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: that and bring some money into the industry, they have
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: an adopted tree program where you can pay money and
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: then you can ship in the the rewards of that
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: tree through the year, you know, as if you really
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: like avocados, you'll get your own trees avocados. And you know,
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: we were talking about that in kind of a neat concept.
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know, if somebody really likes avocados, it
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: might be a fun gift for someone to kind of
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: be able to kind of have their own avocado tree
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: or you know, and then people like you, Brian, who
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: live in condos who can't have their own avocado tree,
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: now they can claim ownership of an avocado tree out
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: there in Ballbrook.
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: And we just go and pick the avocados when they're No,
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: you don't get to pick it.
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: Oh, you just get him sent to you.
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: Well that's even better. I don't want Yeah, I don't
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: want to do anything.
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, just the class that you want to do. That's
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: like those places that you go and cook your own meal. Like,
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: wait a minute, I'm going to a restaurant and now
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: I have to cook.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: I don't want to cook.
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's still it's almost like sometimes more money
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: than if you go to a restaurant that cooks your meal.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: I don't know now you're on cooking. But my wife
• 38:03
  Speaker 5: and I were watching, you know, one of our regular
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: things we watch on TV's The Great British Baking Show. Yeah,
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: and you know how at the beginning of a show,
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: it always shows you a rating and it'll say like violence,
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: oh yeah, yeah, yeah, sexual content, alcohol, smoking, yeah all
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: this one ever says this language.
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: Oh really?
• 38:25
  Speaker 5: And I told my wife the reason they put that
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: up there's you can't understand a word. It's like, I
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: still don't get it. But I love that show. It's
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: it's hilarious. Hey, I know we're a thirty second show,

• 42:08
  Speaker 5: her planning her vegetable garden, and she said she had
• 42:10
  Speaker 5: a great cop crop of carrots and beats in the winter,
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: so she wants to plant some more. She's going to
• 42:16
  Speaker 5: put in some pickling cucumbers and squash. And the Dhlia
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: bed that I started yesterday is it was a vegetable
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: bed last year and at the front of the bed
• 42:32
  Speaker 5: is still a good crop of carrots. The carrots were fantastic.
• 42:37
  Speaker 5: So I'm planning the delias all the way up to
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: where the carrots are because I still have probably another
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: two months of carrots to harvest.
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 42:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and they're really good. They're so sweet. You wouldn't
• 42:49
  Speaker 5: think carrots would make a difference, would would you?
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: But you wouldn't think your homegrown carrots would be different
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: than the ones you were at the store.
• 42:56
  Speaker 5: Right, They're so much better, it's unbelievable.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, are there the short ones and long ones,
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: the red ones, white ones ones?
• 43:04
  Speaker 5: They're red or orange orange, right, which was not a
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: color of the original care it was the.
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: Uh. But all different sizes depends when you big pick them.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: Some are are.
• 43:18
  Speaker 5: Huge because they didn't get picked in time, but push
• 43:23
  Speaker 5: it out, but even those are really good.
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, I don't think. I don't think like you know,
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: carrots are like a squash where when you allow it
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: to get too big, then it becomes real water, bad flavor. Yeah,
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: carrots like they still hold flavor.
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah.
• 43:40
  Speaker 5: The only difference is that it's hard to get out.
• 43:44
  Speaker 5: It's hard to bite because they're huge.
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: Well, like I was saying, dig them out too.
• 43:48
  Speaker 5: You know, like you know, these come out pretty easy.
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: Nice.
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: Speaking of watery, isn't there certain species of avocado that
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: are considered more watery than others?
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh the fruit is fruit itself.
• 44:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: We talked about before in Hawaii where they grow these
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: avocados as big as our heads.
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: Very water not great, not a good dip.
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, there's not enough salt and mine to add
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: to it, right.
• 44:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, those are West or West Indies. Yeah, avocados. The
• 44:24
  Speaker 5: ones that are have lots of oil and the good
• 44:28
  Speaker 5: nutty flavor are Guatemalan varieties.
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: Dana says John. Do you juice your carrots?
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: No, Dana juices every day.
• 44:39
  Speaker 5: I juice nothing, you know, she does.
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: She juices carrots, apple juice, and ginger.
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's good, good for you.
• 44:47
  Speaker 5: That sounds like an excellent idea though.
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she does, and she has seven She put turmeric
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: in there too.
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: That's like a real popular thing. She might inger turmeric
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: carrot juice.
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: It's the whole balance of because I like ginger but
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: not too much. So there's a balance of the apple
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: juice and the ginger, and if you get it just right,
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: very good. Yes, but that I don't know I'm kind
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: of teasing her with that juice is old, like from
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: the seventies or eighties or really it still works. Your
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: favorite genre was on Marianne.
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: I was Marianne, Hey.
• 45:19
  Speaker 5: I want before you go office, so if you want
• 45:21
  Speaker 5: some carrots next week for Dana to juice, I'll bring them.
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: Well, because she juices baby carrots. So I was, well,
• 45:31
  Speaker 5: you can still cut the big ones and put them.
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, but I'm saying I'm gonna I want to
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: kind of test the differently in the flavor.
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but like baby carrots are not Are they baby
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: carrots or they a.
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: Variety variety of carrots?
• 45:45
  Speaker 5: No, they're just small carrots.
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: They're just small.
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: There are small carrots.
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: I was gonna say, I feel like I see sea
• 45:52
  Speaker 4: packages and they're like these carrots are this.
• 45:54
  Speaker 5: Carrots for pots or something like that.
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so there.
• 45:57
  Speaker 4: Are varieties of smaller but baby carrots are probably just
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: baby carrots.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: Could be.
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: It's like a miniature ros is not a baby ros.
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: It's like veal, right, isn't.
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: It's not like veal or lamb.
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: Isn't veal like a baby cow?
• 46:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, right, exactly, like sad is a it's a little
• 46:19
  Speaker 5: baby sheep.
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: It's a lamb?
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah right, Oh that's true. Yeah, I like both.
• 46:24
  Speaker 5: By the way, and if you're in Croatia, fole is
• 46:30
  Speaker 5: a baby horse.
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Do you eat that?
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Oh yeah, they're on the menu really yeah? Yeah?
• 46:38
  Speaker 5: If you eat lamb and in veal, why wantn't you
• 46:41
  Speaker 5: eat is lamb coal?
• 46:44
  Speaker 4: Is when they say lamb meat, is it lamb meat
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: or is it sheep meat?
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: Well, it's a lamb.
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: Is a baby sheep, I understand. Is it like a
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: baby sheet?
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's supposed to be like veal more tender, correct,
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: Is that right?
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Who's who on the show is a butcher? To
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: find this out?
• 47:02
  Speaker 5: Back to questions though uses from the last hour, Carl
• 47:06
  Speaker 5: had a question on roses and she said that Heirloom
• 47:09
  Speaker 5: Roses recommends only liquid fertilizer for roses in pots. Oh really,
• 47:16
  Speaker 5: and she wants to know my opinion, She says, she
• 47:18
  Speaker 5: knows I've used slow release. I would think without talking
• 47:24
  Speaker 5: to her Loom. The reason they would recommend liquid for
• 47:28
  Speaker 5: containers is because if you're using a dry fertilizer, you
• 47:31
  Speaker 5: could burn the roots. Right, because in the ground if
• 47:35
  Speaker 5: you put in too much dry fertilizer, it just goes
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: into the ground. Yeah, you know, you don't have to
• 47:42
  Speaker 5: worry about it. But in containers some of the roses
• 47:45
  Speaker 5: for the auction. I have this mix that I use
• 47:50
  Speaker 5: on my dry fertilizers, and I mixed it wrong and
• 47:54
  Speaker 5: I put in double the one type that I normally do,
• 48:00
  Speaker 5: and because they were in containers, ended up burning them.
• 48:03
  Speaker 5: Even though they were organic and it's organic, I still burned.
• 48:08
  Speaker 5: So yeah, in a container, that's probably a good idea.
• 48:11
  Speaker 5: And to use liquid or slow release because slow release
• 48:15
  Speaker 5: won't burn with any moganite.
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: What's that?
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: Couldn't you burn with a liquid too or no? You
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: know that grow power blue stuff that miraal will grow
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: if you mix that too much with water and then
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: you watered your potted plants with.
• 48:32
  Speaker 5: That, if you maybe if you made too strong a concentration. Yeah,
• 48:37
  Speaker 5: but if you do a tablespoon per gallon like you're
• 48:39
  Speaker 5: supposed to, you could pour on a gallon or two
• 48:43
  Speaker 5: gallons and still not burn anything because it's the same.
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: Right, then you can burn INTI maligan it would be
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: okay to use then.
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, meloria nite doesn't burn, doesn't burn in slow release, right,
• 48:54
  Speaker 4: you don't.
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: You don't even have to water it in necessary.
• 48:57
  Speaker 5: Right, except in a container, you could overuse it.
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because that's what I'm using myself on my container.
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: I think that the ultimate thing with fertilizers is that
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: you have to understand that they're all what we would
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: call hot, right, So meaning whatever it is that you do,
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: you have to be careful because there could ultimately be
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: burning of foliage, there could be burning of roots, if
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: you you know, even if you you know. I think
• 49:22
  Speaker 4: I've told this story before where my gardener team sometimes
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: will apply a chemical fertilizer to a lawn in the
• 49:29
  Speaker 4: middle of the day and burn. If they don't water
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: it in properly, it'll burn that lawn, you know. And
• 49:35
  Speaker 4: it's not that, you know, the fertilizer was over applied,
• 49:39
  Speaker 4: It was that it was dry, it was hot outside,
• 49:41
  Speaker 4: they didn't water it in thoroughly and it burned.
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, break time, I'm sorry, right, yeah, this is our
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: end of first segment, hour two. There you go, gott

• 51:31
  Speaker 3: Welcome again.
• 51:31
  Speaker 5: Appreciate good to hear from our Pakistani connection.
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: Well, we caught up on the questions and commerdes johnes
• 51:39
  Speaker 4: another's garden vegetable question from last hour, John, do you
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: know that one? Or did we answer it? Do you
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: want me to go by?
• 51:47
  Speaker 5: I just switched to the new Insight here, so I'm
• 51:50
  Speaker 5: not sure.
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: Here had a great curvice beats Trader Joe. So we
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: were talking about the food guarantee Trader Joe's takes any
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: food back data say you.
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: Know what, let me tell you something. They take stuff
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: but no questions. They like Nordstrum, I don't know about Nordstrum.
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: But Trader Joe's they'll take it back. They don't even
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: they don't even want to know why. You can say,
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: you know what, we didn't like it. Okay, you want
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: us to uh? Are you're going to put that on?
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: You want to get something else? Or do you want
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: to just take it off your next purchase or whatever.
• 52:24
  Speaker 5: You know, there's certain things in life I have strong
• 52:27
  Speaker 5: feelings about and I just should not talk about them
• 52:30
  Speaker 5: on the air. But but going back to guarantees, here's
• 52:37
  Speaker 5: the worst thing about guarantees. If you're running a company
• 52:41
  Speaker 5: and you think it's good customer relationships to guarantee your product,
• 52:45
  Speaker 5: that's fine. But you have companies out there to remain
• 52:52
  Speaker 5: nameless home depot that they'll take back any plant that's
• 52:58
  Speaker 5: dead because they don't care.
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: They're gonna they're going to charge the grower for it.
• 53:02
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: And that's that.
• 53:04
  Speaker 5: And if you if you're a grower and you refuse
• 53:07
  Speaker 5: to say no, I can't do that, I mean, they're
• 53:11
  Speaker 5: not going to buy from you you had a whole Yeah,
• 53:13
  Speaker 5: you had a whole table full of plants, and you
• 53:14
  Speaker 5: didn't water them. You killed them. It was hot today,
• 53:16
  Speaker 5: why didn't you water them? Just fine, If you don't
• 53:19
  Speaker 5: want to sell to us, don't.
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: Sell to us. Yeah, we'll find somebody that because that's
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: not really that's that's secondary to home depot, the garden department.
• 53:27
  Speaker 5: I no, No, that home depot is a huge The
• 53:31
  Speaker 5: garden department is a huge.
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: Trust. When I say, when I say secondary, you don't
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: always get the right information. It's almost like they put
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: people out there they.
• 53:39
  Speaker 5: Oh, no, that's true. But that's because they don't care.
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: But that's what I'm saying.
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: They have no loss at all, so to me, and
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: again I understand you're saying in your rabbitty.
• 53:49
  Speaker 5: And I don't know that Costco does that, But if
• 53:51
  Speaker 5: Costco did the same thing, the reason they take stuff
• 53:54
  Speaker 5: back is because they go would go to their supplier
• 53:57
  Speaker 5: and say, hey, you got to take it back.
• 53:59
  Speaker 4: Well, you know the first red flag at Costco is
• 54:02
  Speaker 4: when you see Queen Palm sitting inside next to the
• 54:06
  Speaker 4: meat aisle. Should you buy that Queen Palm? Wait a minute?
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well you know what the same thing in Vughon's.
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: You know, you'll see like all.
• 54:16
  Speaker 4: Like a florist department, all right, like a floral.
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: Sometimes I'll see them like randomly, like set up next
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: to the coke aisle, Like what.
• 54:23
  Speaker 4: Are you doing?
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna walk by. You know, I wasn't gonna buy
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: a queen palm, but now that I saw it set
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: up near the coke, I think.
• 54:29
  Speaker 4: I will exactly so funny.
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: Okay, tell you all right?
• 54:34
  Speaker 4: Had some garden questions.
• 54:35
  Speaker 5: Yes, Veronica has two lilies and five glads, five glads.
• 54:39
  Speaker 5: She wants to put them all in a sixteen inch pot?
• 54:42
  Speaker 4: Is it a good deep?
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: Wouldn't you put the lilies in the field?
• 54:47
  Speaker 5: Well, I could consider that.
• 54:50
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying, the.
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: First of all the five clouds.
• 54:55
  Speaker 5: It's no problem, yeah, because they just grow straight up
• 54:58
  Speaker 5: right right right. The two lilies, you know, a sixteen
• 55:04
  Speaker 5: inch pot, I don't. I don't think it's enough yeah
• 55:10
  Speaker 5: to put all of them, but the glad you could
• 55:12
  Speaker 5: definitely do together.
• 55:14
  Speaker 4: I think what will happen is they'll all grow and
• 55:17
  Speaker 4: then like what you're saying, the lilies, they're not You're
• 55:21
  Speaker 4: right when you are going to be like, oh this
• 55:23
  Speaker 4: is going to be amazing. They're going to begin to
• 55:26
  Speaker 4: fail because it's not a big enough pot.
• 55:28
  Speaker 5: And I don't get I've told you this before.
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: I just don't get lilies.
• 55:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, because they're beautiful for a week, right, very short lived? Yeah,
• 55:36
  Speaker 5: very short, and that's it.
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like a butterfly.
• 55:40
  Speaker 4: But you know, I mean that's just the appreciation of it.
• 55:42
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's like the cut flowers we were talking
• 55:44
  Speaker 4: about before. Why do you have cut flowers in your house? Well,
• 55:47
  Speaker 4: you appreciate them for a week or two or three
• 55:50
  Speaker 4: and then you, you know.
• 55:51
  Speaker 5: Throw them away.
• 55:53
  Speaker 4: That's the lily I think. I think.
• 55:54
  Speaker 5: But you didn't have to grow the cut flowers. It
• 55:57
  Speaker 5: just stuck them in a vase, brought them home, stuck
• 55:59
  Speaker 5: them in a vase.
• 56:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but I think that also, lilies are a little
• 56:02
  Speaker 4: bit like more difficult to grow for us. So therefore, like,
• 56:05
  Speaker 4: why do it if it's difficult? Oh, you know, you
• 56:08
  Speaker 4: think so.
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: I think they thought they were like one of the
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: easiest things to grow.
• 56:12
  Speaker 4: You just plant it and forget it kind of thing.
• 56:14
  Speaker 4: I had one fall over.
• 56:16
  Speaker 5: You know what I mean, Well, do you remember the
• 56:18
  Speaker 5: one that I had at my old house on Pepper Tree?
• 56:22
  Speaker 5: It was a six foot tall lily. I think it
• 56:25
  Speaker 5: was called Silk Road and that thing bloomed a lot,
• 56:29
  Speaker 5: I mean dozens and dozens of blooms.
• 56:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 56:33
  Speaker 5: But they were on a hill and they'd kind of
• 56:35
  Speaker 5: go through a evergreen tree and hangover, you know, like.
• 56:39
  Speaker 4: The tree supported it.
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 56:41
  Speaker 5: Okay, so it's like, you know, six foot tall, and
• 56:46
  Speaker 5: I really like those kinds of lily. Something a little
• 56:48
  Speaker 5: bit different.
• 56:50
  Speaker 4: Tiger Lise Ricka has an easy question. I have a
• 56:54
  Speaker 4: rose that keeps that getting leaves.
• 56:59
  Speaker 3: It's hard, it's hard to read it, but it's an
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: easy question.
• 57:01
  Speaker 4: Are turning yellow with black spots? How do I fix it? Well,
• 57:05
  Speaker 4: it sounds like it's black spot rick and a simple
• 57:09
  Speaker 4: you're not being funny.
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: That's the name of the disease, black spot. Yeah.
• 57:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And it's a simple fung design, right, I mean yeah.
• 57:17
  Speaker 5: Or you can plant varieties that are resistant to black spot.
• 57:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but he wants this one, that's his rose, that
• 57:25
  Speaker 4: is ricks rose.
• 57:26
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm just mentioning for our listeners out there that
• 57:28
  Speaker 5: if you're buying roses that were bred by We've talked
• 57:32
  Speaker 5: about this before, bred by German breeders. Uh, because Germany's
• 57:37
  Speaker 5: outlawed pesticides for years now that all the new breeding
• 57:43
  Speaker 5: was towards creating roses that were disease resistant. So if
• 57:48
  Speaker 5: you look for some of the newer roses out of
• 57:50
  Speaker 5: Cordes or Tantau in Germany, they're going to be disease resistant.
• 57:56
  Speaker 5: Or you can move to California and you don't.
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: Get black spot.
• 57:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah exactly, but yeah, black spot back east is horrible.
• 58:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 58:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And I know I've told this story dozens of
• 58:09
  Speaker 5: times on the radio, but I was talking first time
• 58:14
  Speaker 5: I went to a American Roe Society convention. I was
• 58:18
  Speaker 5: talking to some people from back East and they were
• 58:23
  Speaker 5: telling me how much they liked this one particular rose
• 58:26
  Speaker 5: which I've grown here in California. And I said, but
• 58:28
  Speaker 5: you know what it gets mildew? And they said, they said, oh,
• 58:33
  Speaker 5: we're not worried about mildew. And I said why, I said,
• 58:38
  Speaker 5: you don't. Guys don't get mildew. She goes, no, you
• 58:40
  Speaker 5: have to have leaves to have mildew, and black spot
• 58:43
  Speaker 5: all the leaves just fall off.
• 58:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Rix and Idaho, Right, yeah, yeah, I will see.
• 58:50
  Speaker 4: I will say yes, more likely than not. Rick, at
• 58:53
  Speaker 4: your garden center, they probably have some amazing fertilan products
• 58:56
  Speaker 4: too that we can't get in California that work really well. Yeah,
• 59:00
  Speaker 4: exactly like fertile spot mildew. So definitely there's an easy treatment.
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, two more segments coming up, next segments one of
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: our longer ones, So hang in there. Guard in America
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: have taken this break for a friends on Fish Talk Radio.
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: We have returned from the break.
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: It is Guarded America, heard exclusively on Facebook Live and
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: many many stations across the BizTalk radio network across God's
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: Country here in America. John Oh Beautiful for spacious guys.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 5: Dorothy is sounds like she's taking issue with our avocado statement.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 5: She said that the Hawaiian avocados that were popular with
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 5: her family were rich in buttery. But the avocados that
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 5: they experience, and she's not sure about Mexico California, they
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 5: said they taste watery.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 4: Interesting, but they do.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 5: Grow Guatemalan varieties in Hawaii too.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the species we're talking about, not the location necessarily,
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: not where. Yeah.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 5: So the ones that come from the West Indies are
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 5: the watery type and they do grow as in Hawaii
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 5: just because it's a warmer climate. California doesn't grow a
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 5: lot of West Indians because Indian in varieties because it's
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 5: too cold. You know, you need a more tropical climate
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 5: for them.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 4: Carla's fighting back on us. She said, you always say that, John,
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 4: regarding the black spot. Then what it? Then? What is
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 4: it that causes black spots and yellow leaves on my roses?
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 5: I thought I lived in California. It's a black spot. Yeah,
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 5: And it's a generalization, Carl. It's just like saying you
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 5: always do this when you don't always do it.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Like we still get rusts, Yeah, we still get
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 4: black spots, we still get issues here.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: Well, then I'm going to ask a question that pertains to.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 5: My Also, black spot is time of the year. You know,
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 5: I get black spot in Fallbrook in the early spring
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 5: and then it's gone all summer completely. But the closer
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 5: you are to the coast, the more black spots you're
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 5: going to get on varieties that they get black spot.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: Right. So I had an orchid and I told you
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: guys that that the leaves all fell off and died,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: and you said, just cut it, cut it down.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 4: Oh no, you didn't say the leaves all fell off.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: Flowers the flowers not Okay, but I'm going to get it.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 3: So I cut it and.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: I'm like, this doesn't sound ripe, but okay, because you know,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: it's like when I had to cut back to a
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: hard tram or a hard cut on the roses. So anyway, yes,
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: I'm seeing now what will become the.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 4: Flowers flower spike.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: But the two leaves on there are almost totally black.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 5: Now there's more than a spot.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I'm I'm segueing from talking about black
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: spots to the color black.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 4: On a rose.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying that's what it is. I'm asking what
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: might that be? Because it was near the palms that
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: had did I use the what was that product that
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: you gave me?
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 4: It was like they are they like black? Like black?
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 4: Are they just really dark green?
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: No, there's black on them.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 4: It's probably overwatering.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: Then no, I hardly ever, didn't we just go through
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: this Well, wait a minute, are you gonna tell me
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: what it might be?
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 3: If I admit that.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 4: Any for orchid? Right, okay, it's done with its blooming cycle.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 4: You cut the bloom off.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: That's fine, and now the flowers are coming back, little
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: pods are.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 4: Growing, right, but the foliage is black.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: I'm concerned.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 4: Not sooty black, but the foliage is black.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: I should I should probably just bring it in here
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: and let you look at it. Yeah, probably because I
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: don't because it was next to those palms that that
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: had the kind of there wasn't.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: What was it? Yeah, exactly? And I'm thinking did did that?
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: Did they?
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 3: Did they get it from the palm?
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 4: Ye could have?
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 5: Or did you spray with something that went onto the
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 5: orcid and burned them?
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 4: M h could be that too?
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: Well? The only thing I would have sprayed would have
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: been the spinosa that I used on the palms.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 7: Uh huh.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 3: That wouldn't have burned it, wouldn't It could have.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's an oil spray.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I'll take a picture, I'll bring it in.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: But but yeah, because I'm so I'm so excited the
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: fact that all the flowers now you know, the little
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: pods are growing and it it looks like it's it's
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: doing well, it's not dying.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 4: But now what new foliage coming out of it? Or
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 4: is it just a new flower spikes?
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: Because because the new flower spikes.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 4: Because falane offices are kind of like plumerio where you
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 4: could have a stick and it could be leafed and blooming.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 4: But meanwhile it's rotting and dying.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 3: What would happen if I just cut those leaves off?
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 4: Oh, it would die, It would die. Yeah, it needs
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 4: to share foliage.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I'll take a picture short to you.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 3: It's it's it's black, you know.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 5: I'm I'm thinking back to Carla reprimanding me again about
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 5: the black spout, how we doom have black spot in California?
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 5: And she said, I thought I lived in Californy, But
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 5: the the same thing is true in general, making general statements,
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 5: I'll tell people, you know, we don't have dandelions in California.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, but and we do, of course.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 5: But I'm from Michigan, where the whole lawn is yellow. Yeah,
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 5: you know, it's it's so compared to that we have
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 5: virtually none. And even on the coast in California. You know, Carl,
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 5: if you have a variety that is getting black spot,
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 5: if that if you were back east in Michigan or
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 5: a humid down south, you couldn't even grow that. It
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 5: would just does it kill it?
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 4: Does it kill the rose?
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 5: Well, it only kills it because it's all the leaves
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 5: fall out. A plant can't photo photosynthesize, right, No, just can't.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 4: Grow, So that's how it kills it. Yeah, disease doesn't
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 4: kill the rose. It's more so that foliage is it
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 4: just can't withstand growing anymore.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 3: It has nothing to do with her location being in
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 3: Huntington Beach by the coast.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I said, yeah, obviously it's it's being close to
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 5: the coast.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 4: Because I mean, people talk about these issues too, and
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 4: this is kind of another fun thing to talk about.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 4: Is you know, like aphids, would they kill a rose? Like?
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 4: Could it could have rose be so covered with aphids
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 4: that it actually kills the rose?
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 7: No?
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 4: Right, like you can't scale scale can kill things, suffocates right, well,
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 4: like I feel like same kind of issue. A lot
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 4: of the fool is dry falls off and now it
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 4: can't photosynthesize in it cauys, but does it does? Does
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 4: scale the actual scale kill the plant?
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I think I could, Like it.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 4: Just sucks all the life out of a plant. Okay, rust,
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 4: well that won't kill a plant.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 5: No, And rust again is seasonal? Yeah you know, yeah,
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 5: you know, and the tsing because you know, of course
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 5: after the explanation, because she goes, I know, I know, micro.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 4: Climates Linda, my daphne has gotten very large and some
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 4: branches are heavy, and the plant shaped doesn't look very neat.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 4: Is it true they are sensitive to pruning?
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 5: Yes, and they're sensitive. Daphnees are sensitive to almost anything.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 4: Just look at it wrong, if you raise your voice.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 5: Well, overwatering will kill them, for sure, heavy soils will
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 5: kill them. Yeah, but goll, they're such great plants, so fragrant.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, can you recommend a liquid fertilizer for
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 4: ros But real quick back to Linda's I mean, if
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 4: if the plant's falling over, though, what do you recommend
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 4: that you do? Does she have to trim some of it?
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 4: Or does she just support it?
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 5: Selective pruning's fine, yeah, more than maybe. Well, you could
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 5: go through and you could make the area that has
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 5: to have the hardest cut cut one branch. After that
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 5: branch is out in new Bola is coming on that,
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 5: but in that particular area, then you can go and
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 5: cut another one. Just don't cut it all back at
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 5: one time.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 4: Can you recommend the liquid fertilizer for roses in containers?
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 4: Eileen says that, I mean.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you can. Generically you can use any liquid
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 5: would see liquid kelp, Yeah, fishy mulsions, those are all fine.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 5: As a matter of fact, if you go to a Loomroses,
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 5: they've got some great liquid fertilizers that are propriety, proprietary, proprietary.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 5: They're put them together themselves and you can order direct
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 5: from their website. But yeah, I usually use kelp.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, great, all purpose. Yeah, it doesn't kill the soil, right,
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 4: you know, it's last lasts longer than you know, uneral
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 4: chemical fertilizer too, so that's always good. Yeah.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 5: Rick starting to plan his tomatoes.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 4: Is it safe up there past Mother's Day? Right?
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 4: Good?
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: And they're in the banana belt, So.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 5: I have to go. If I ever give my computer fixed,
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 5: send an email to my friend Diana up there, because
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 5: she bought some roses in the auction last fall that
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 5: I held all winter for her.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: So I need to shift. So are you saying there's
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: a chance you may not get your computer fixed if
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: I have, Yeah.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 3: It's like, well you've got us all on edge.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 4: Now he's going back to the apicus.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 5: The thing that bothered me on that was you know
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 5: that my book is all on that computer.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, And I.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 5: Was on the sixth and final rewrite of it, but don't.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: You should back up?
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 5: Well, see that's what Jesse told me. That one backed up,
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 5: and I thought, yeah, but I didn't want to go
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 5: buy you know, and another you know.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 3: Pay now, pay later.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 5: But then I thought, I've got this external drive that's
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 5: just sitting there. Why don't I just put it in there?
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: And on that note, we're going to take our last break.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: One more segment coming up. If you've been with this

• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: Day weekend.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 5: Yes, I wanted to go back to a previous question
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 5: with Veronica where she wanted to plant everything in one pot.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 5: Oh though, and she had mentioned to Lily's and now
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 5: she's saying iris if they're Dutch iris, I would say yes.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 5: If they're bearded iris, I would say no, yeah, because
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 5: they're going to get too big.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 4: They're going to I mean they crowd out soil. Yeah,
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 4: they crowd out. They crowd out, like give you plants
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 4: him in the ground, right, so you know, I mean
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 4: that's yeah, not going to not going to work out.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 4: But the Dutch iris, you think will You don't think
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 4: that they will. No, they'll be fine.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, They're just little bulbs, So it would come up.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 5: Carla said she saw some beautiful Daphne's Daphne's on the
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 5: Mary Lou Hurt tour, which I think was last week, right,
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 5: is that when we were talking about that, and she
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 5: said she also saw a lot of Delias added to
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 5: gardens this year. And I wondered if the gardeners were
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 5: listening to the show, because we did that show from
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 5: Bill Annie Lane's house in San Diego on Delias and
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 5: it's hard to say. I listened to the show, and
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 5: I've got sixteen Delia's being planted right now, exactly. So
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 5: I'm interested to watch Tiger because I'm putting in four
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 5: of the sixteen are from tubers, okay, and the other
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 5: twelve are from cuttings rooted cuttings.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 4: So the four you ordered online tubers.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, and I ordered both tubers and cut so
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 5: that cuttings are not just from No, I got eight
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 5: from bill any Lane, So then I got eight dlias online.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 4: And you'll put them in the ground at the same time.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we're sending this show to the south. Yeah, y'all, y'all,
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 5: y'all put a bit, y'all, get them back now. But
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 5: I'm wondering will they catch up to each other? Is
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 5: that what you're saying or what were you going to say?
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 4: Just wondering how they all figured out?
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 5: No, No, yeah, I want to I want to know,

• 1:13:39
  Speaker 5: get big enough and catch up to the tubers eventually. Yeah,
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 5: I don't know. Okay, I've never I've never planted a
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 5: lot of dalias at one time. I you know, probably
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 5: like you have grown dlius over the years, but never
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 5: in a concerted effort, right.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 4: And this is in the dahlia bed now, so this, yeah,
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 4: this is going to be like an ongoing thing.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 2: It was a.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 5: Dedicator elect I'll tell you at the end of the season,
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 5: this might turn into the veggie garden again.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 4: Too much work to do that again?
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 3: Do that?
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, my wife likes dhlias, and Bill and Elaine
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 5: would actually occasionally bring a bouquet of dalias when they'd
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 5: come visit, and and they're spectacular. Well you at the
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 5: old studio brought in one year. I forget the name
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 5: of that one, but it was just gigantic.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's so big the flowers.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah so, and there's all different sizes and shapes of
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 5: dahlias too. There's there's uh, you know, pom poms, colorettes, singles,
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 5: cactus flowering.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 5: So so anyway, at least in this bed, we weren't
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 5: weren't eating the vegetables, so that we grew in there anyway,
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 5: So why not have some flowers?
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, and dahlias are a couple. Would you ever
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 4: do hollyhock? I saw those growing in faultbook. That's what
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 4: reminded me of Right, I've.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 5: Always wanted to do hollyhocks, but I want the singles,
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 5: which are impossible to find.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 4: Oh you just want what's impossible?
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 5: Well, that used to be what they grew was only singles,
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 5: and then somebody came up with doubles, and now all
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 5: they have is doubles. And when you go to the nurseries,
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 5: if they do have hollyhocks, they're all doubles. And I
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 5: like the singles because I think because they kind of
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 5: reminded me of hibiscus. Yeah, you know, big flow, but
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 5: that's something that does get rust.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 4: Oh really, you could be in Arizona and he gets rusted, right, Like,
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 4: it can be ninety five zero percent humidity, right and
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 4: it gets rusted.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so but but I mean again back to the rust.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 4: The rust doesn't kill the plant, the hollyhowk does it?
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's just kind of like on it, Well,
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 4: all the leaves fall off, and I feel like by
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 4: that time you've enjoyed the flowers, Well they get the
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 4: rust early.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 5: Before yeah, the flowers even open up. But that's a
• 1:16:11
