- 2:42Speaker 5: You know we were playing with that before the show,
- 2:43Speaker 5: and then you told me right before the show to

- 3:02Speaker 2: want to how can I put I'm just gonna put it?
- 3:04Speaker 3: Okay.

- 3:09Speaker 2: of our situation, booked a bookie. He's aware of our
- 3:12Speaker 2: situation as far as the technical problems that we've had
- 3:18Speaker 2: practice exactly.
- 3:20Speaker 4: So you can either bet that the show is gonna
- 3:22Speaker 4: go no problem, smooth for the entire hour, or you
- 3:26Speaker 4: can bet that it's gonna go halfway and cut off halfway,
- 3:30Speaker 4: never get on the air at all.
- 3:32Speaker 2: I think there was one more, and there's odds to
- 3:34Speaker 2: each one of them, I'm.
- 3:35Speaker 5: Sure, and there's a whole population out there totally is
- 3:37Speaker 5: betting on it, absolutely all right. So the prop bets
- 3:41Speaker 5: as far as whether John Spone will be on when
- 3:44Speaker 5: the show starts, the show starts, prop bets on what
- 3:47Speaker 5: hat Brian will be wearing.

- 5:44Speaker 3: Did have a mild July.
- 5:45Speaker 2: It's been it's been manageable. Yeah, you know what I mean.
- 5:48Speaker 4: Last week, We're going to take a break pretty soon.
- 5:50Speaker 4: Right in five minutes? That right there, that's how long
- 5:53Speaker 4: we have in this segment.
- 5:54Speaker 2: Wow.
- 5:54Speaker 4: Well, then I want to tell you what I did
- 5:55Speaker 4: last week. Oh John, John to ware the clock now
- 5:57Speaker 4: he knows how much time segments I have. I planted
- 6:04Speaker 4: three avocado trees.
- 6:07Speaker 2: You know you live in an area that used to
- 6:09Speaker 2: be an avocado farm.
- 6:10Speaker 4: Well, my property used to be a grove, right, avocado grove.
- 6:14Speaker 2: It was a groovy grove.
- 6:16Speaker 4: What well lost its groovy noess John's groovy grove avocado
- 6:20Speaker 4: and uh? And I planted three And I planted some
- 6:25Speaker 4: unusual varieties, not the basic hoss, not the right no,
- 6:32Speaker 4: neither neither has nor fear, I'm.
- 6:34Speaker 2: Saying, yeah, not either one.
- 6:36Speaker 1: Right.
- 6:37Speaker 4: I planted Marcus pumpkin, which I planted just for curiosity,
- 6:44Speaker 4: because I've never seen one, and the avocados get up
- 6:47Speaker 4: to three pounds. What, yeah, have you ever seen a
- 6:51Speaker 4: Marcus pumpkin avocado?
- 6:54Speaker 2: I went to high school with a Marcus for an avocado.
- 6:58Speaker 4: I think that was your nickname for him. And I
- 7:03Speaker 4: planted russell, which are named after people. You know what
- 7:10Speaker 4: this is getting a little weird. I planted a russell
- 7:16Speaker 4: which has kind of a It has a really elongated neck,
- 7:22Speaker 4: looks like a a don Galagh, except except even bigger market.
- 7:28Speaker 5: But would I think some people are those gorgs, those
- 7:32Speaker 5: long Ye, that's like a good description. I think most
- 7:36Speaker 5: people know what that is versus a done.
- 7:41Speaker 4: I just saw that Louis Nursery had don Glogli and
- 7:45Speaker 4: there they're listening, but they said check for availability and
- 7:49Speaker 4: they didn't have one. And then the other I planted
- 7:52Speaker 4: was Queen. And you might know Queen right as in
- 7:57Speaker 4: the band. As in the band, but not not the
- 8:00Speaker 4: same thing.
- 8:02Speaker 5: Because Freddy Mercury avocata was already taken. There is a
- 8:05Speaker 5: Freddy Mercury rose. Did you know that? Yeah, it's a
- 8:09Speaker 5: sport of Tina Turner. True, you look at me like
- 8:14Speaker 5: I'm joking.
- 8:15Speaker 4: But no, I never know we never love how you
- 8:17Speaker 4: connect the dots. Go ahead, And and Queen came out
- 8:23Speaker 4: in the early nineteen hundreds, like it was introduced into
- 8:27Speaker 4: the US ninety. I think it's from Guatemala. What year,
- 8:30Speaker 4: because this place has been here since nineteen ten. Well
- 8:33Speaker 4: this was nineteen fourteen. Oh right, yeah, same time as
- 8:37Speaker 4: the nursery, even though it was an older one, but
- 8:40Speaker 4: introduced into the US. And I planted Queen because it
- 8:44Speaker 4: is not as big as the others, but it can
- 8:48Speaker 4: get to be close to two pounds and is similar
- 8:52Speaker 4: in flavor to a hat. So those are the three
- 8:55Speaker 4: I planted. Now I have three more to plant, Oh yeah,
- 8:58Speaker 4: and I'll be donefect yeah.
- 9:00Speaker 2: And I put them on the.
- 9:01Speaker 4: Hill behind the house, which required a lot of work.
- 9:05Speaker 4: Did yeah, because it's pretty steep. And when you're seventy
- 9:11Speaker 4: five and you go to dig.
- 9:12Speaker 2: A hole your seventy five degrees outside, no no, no, no.
- 9:17Speaker 3: Oh, house gardener. I have a funny whole digging story
- 9:24Speaker 3: this week too.
- 9:24Speaker 4: You know, I haven't heard a funny whole digging story
- 9:27Speaker 4: in the years.
- 9:29Speaker 5: Your holes for your avocados on a slope, obviously you
- 9:34Speaker 5: got to dig into the whenever you're planting on. You
- 9:37Speaker 5: have to dig into the hills, right, cut yourself out
- 9:39Speaker 5: a nice del to be able to plant whatever it is,
- 9:43Speaker 5: right right. I went to a custom up in Dana LUs. Yeah,
- 9:51Speaker 5: that the are You got about a minute to lose,
- 9:54Speaker 5: to lose, to lose, Okay, get back. Okay, it's gonna
- 9:58Speaker 5: take me a little bit longer because it's a pretty
- 10:00Speaker 5: the story.
- 10:01Speaker 3: John's gonna beat shock.
- 10:03Speaker 4: What about what about when you're you're planning on the
- 10:05Speaker 4: hail as far as getting in bubble.
- 10:07Speaker 5: Well, so you gotta cut into the hills. Okay, see
- 10:11Speaker 5: we plant the plan fine all over again.
- 10:15Speaker 2: Okay, right right.
- 10:17Speaker 3: Otherwise let's it'll train away, train away.

- 10:21Speaker 2: the break, we're gonna check a few technical aspects audio, uh, videos,
- 10:25Speaker 2: so on and so forth. But a quick break, A
- 10:27Speaker 2: quicker break for Facebook Live, a longer break for bistalk Radio.
- 10:30Speaker 2: I want to thank Furt little more major sponsor, so

- 10:39Speaker 2: I'm Brian Main, John Begnascar talking Peli Fox back after
- 10:42Speaker 2: these messages.
- 10:43Speaker 6: As we mentioned, welcome back to the Garden America Radio
- 11:08Speaker 6: show with Brian John and Tigers Are.
- 11:12Speaker 2: We are back after that break adjusting a few things.
- 11:14Speaker 2: Do let us know how things down now? Before the
- 11:16Speaker 2: break here on Guarden America, we were talking about planning
- 11:19Speaker 2: on slopes and Tiger's going to give us some insight
- 11:21Speaker 2: on exactly what John's been doing, what John should have done,
- 11:24Speaker 2: what John may do, and overall how you do plan
- 11:26Speaker 2: on the slope.
- 11:27Speaker 3: I'm prepared to be shocked, Tiger, Yeah, you will be
- 11:29Speaker 3: blown away.
- 11:30Speaker 5: But because what were the size avocados that you planted
- 11:34Speaker 5: on your slope?
- 11:34Speaker 3: Five gallon, one gallon, fifteen, Yes, not a fifteen.
- 11:39Speaker 4: I planted a five gallon, a two gallon, and a
- 11:44Speaker 4: For some reason, I put one in a long citrus pot.
- 11:49Speaker 5: Why I have no because avocados love deep cap ride like.
- 11:53Speaker 4: Like it's just the opposite of what it needed.
- 11:57Speaker 3: I wasn't thinking at that time. On John's slope.
- 12:01Speaker 5: John is on a freshly cut path right on that
- 12:04Speaker 5: slope that that that hill is mostly made up of
- 12:07Speaker 5: like DG that was pushed over the side and grated.
- 12:10Speaker 4: You know, I was surprised at how easy it was
- 12:13Speaker 4: to dig a hold of okay, and I think it's
- 12:15Speaker 4: because your guys took that burn push pushed it down
- 12:19Speaker 4: the hill.
- 12:19Speaker 3: And that's what I was kind of getting it.
- 12:20Speaker 5: You probably dug down a ways, which was easy, but
- 12:23Speaker 5: then it became kind of right right, So after you
- 12:25Speaker 5: get maybe like a foot or two, it becomes hard.
- 12:27Speaker 3: Yeah. So I went to a customer's house.
- 12:29Speaker 5: And the loose which is up near Murietta Temecula area,
- 12:34Speaker 5: up in the hills exactly and very hard packed soil
- 12:39Speaker 5: up there, lots of rock, lots of DG and it
- 12:43Speaker 5: was a twenty four inch box. Oh my god, and
- 12:46Speaker 5: I on a hill. I get off the exit for
- 12:51Speaker 5: this customer. So I've already driven for forty five minutes
- 12:54Speaker 5: and I'm extiting for you.
- 12:55Speaker 2: There's no turning back.
- 12:56Speaker 5: I forgot my jackham, Like I have a thirty pound jackhammer.
- 13:02Speaker 3: Help.
- 13:02Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 13:02Speaker 4: She used a lot of my house and I used
- 13:05Speaker 4: it almost every job I do. And I'm like it,
- 13:08Speaker 4: kuind of come and burrowed mine.
- 13:10Speaker 3: Okay.
- 13:11Speaker 5: So I'm like, oh no, oh no, So this is
- 13:14Speaker 5: as you're pulling off, Yes, So I'm just like you
- 13:16Speaker 5: know what, I've got a shovel and a pick in
- 13:20Speaker 5: the back of my truck, you know, and some other tools.
- 13:22Speaker 3: But you know, we'll see what happens when I show up.
- 13:25Speaker 2: He did have the song working on the chain game,
- 13:28Speaker 2: which would help.
- 13:29Speaker 3: The show up.
- 13:30Speaker 5: And so I meet the customer. He shows me where
- 13:33Speaker 5: he wants this avocado tree. There hasn't been anything planted
- 13:38Speaker 5: in the area that I'm going to plant this tree ever,
- 13:43Speaker 5: twenty years untouched soil, right, nothing, okay, So I'm like, oh,
- 13:47Speaker 5: even worse right, just dreading it. I don't have my jaghammer.
- 13:52Speaker 5: And the lucky thing about it but not having my jaghammer,
- 13:55Speaker 5: is that it was also I planted very far from
- 13:59Speaker 5: any power source. But I probably wouldn't have been able
- 14:02Speaker 5: to use my jackhammer anyways, because.
- 14:05Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, okay.
- 14:08Speaker 5: So I start digging it and digging in, and you know,
- 14:13Speaker 5: the funniest thing happened. I hit rocks immediately, don't even
- 14:20Speaker 5: get two inches under the soil. My shovel hits and
- 14:24Speaker 5: so fine, almost like dust than with So I scoop
- 14:32Speaker 5: out of rock, get to the next stop rock, and
- 14:35Speaker 5: the soil is just falling away. I don't even have
- 14:39Speaker 5: to dig. All I have to do is move rocks,
- 14:42Speaker 5: and the hole just appeared kind of a thing.
- 14:46Speaker 2: It was.
- 14:48Speaker 5: Yes, it's like you're at the beach and you know
- 14:51Speaker 5: that the hole just keeps getting bigger because you just.
- 14:55Speaker 3: It was the easiest dig I've ever done.
- 15:00Speaker 4: Twenty four inch twenty four inch box. Oh my gosh, I.
- 15:03Speaker 5: Just pulled out rocks, rocks, but these were big rocks
- 15:06Speaker 5: one day, uh huh.
- 15:08Speaker 3: Really prying, but it was the most did you.
- 15:12Speaker 4: Have anybody with you? And and the one of the
- 15:15Speaker 4: house had no idea what's going on. He's in the house,
- 15:18Speaker 4: just out there he thought, he thought sometimes right right,
- 15:32Speaker 4: And it was an avocado. You said, oh, well, that's
- 15:37Speaker 4: a good spot for that.
- 15:39Speaker 5: Ye.
- 15:42Speaker 4: You know in avocados, they do you remember before you
- 15:46Speaker 4: were born, Tiger, do you remember anything the There was
- 15:49Speaker 4: avocado planning craze here in Fallbrook. Yeah here now in
- 15:56Speaker 4: southern California, Brook in Fallbrook. And they used to say,
- 16:00Speaker 4: if you can dig a hole, the avocado growth, so
- 16:05Speaker 4: that that was the only object to you know, because
- 16:08Speaker 4: they planted them on hillsides everywhere. You know, if you
- 16:11Speaker 4: drive up Highway fifteen, there's just obs. Yeah, and they
- 16:15Speaker 4: just said. You know, if you can get the hole
- 16:16Speaker 4: and get the plant avocado in and it's.
- 16:19Speaker 3: Going to grow.
- 16:19Speaker 4: I'm still wrapping my head around a two pounds avocado
- 16:23Speaker 4: three pound, three pounds even worse or even better. Really, well,
- 16:27Speaker 4: that would be the that would be the avocado you'd
- 16:29Speaker 4: make guacam only during Super Bowl, except I'm not sure
- 16:33Speaker 4: about the flavor because is it runny? Well see, some
- 16:37Speaker 4: of those big avocados are like that. That's the type
- 16:41Speaker 4: they like Florida. They think that California avocados are too oily.
- 16:56Speaker 3: Speaking about that's a good size.
- 17:03Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, Well what kind of line though, I take
- 17:07Speaker 4: almost the lin limit. Yeah, that's from your back, from
- 17:12Speaker 4: my back, Yeah, your brain, all right, took a couple okay, two, right, and.
- 17:18Speaker 3: Make your walk.
- 17:20Speaker 4: I can't touch them. I I can't touch them. Literally.
- 17:26Speaker 2: Why you're allergic to lines? I yeah, you're not.
- 17:30Speaker 4: Photo photo fido dermatitis, photo fido dermatitis. Right, of course,
- 17:40Speaker 4: it's mainly limes. Uh No, citrus doesn't bother me at all,
- 17:44Speaker 4: but mainly limes. What is it in the line that
- 17:47Speaker 4: affect the molecules? Always the molecules, isn't it?
- 17:53Speaker 5: Uh?
- 17:54Speaker 4: I think I told the story on air about how
- 17:57Speaker 4: that happened. You don't remember, Brian, You've got a great memory.
- 18:02Speaker 2: I was out.
- 18:03Speaker 4: I was living in Bonsel at the time, and we
- 18:06Speaker 4: had lime trees and I went out and cut the limes.
- 18:11Speaker 4: I was working outside all day and I came in
- 18:15Speaker 4: the house and my whole test, stomach, arms, legs were
- 18:22Speaker 4: itching and I started to break out, and I thought,
- 18:27Speaker 4: you know, I thought it was poison oak. No, I
- 18:30Speaker 4: thought it was poison oak because we had poison oak
- 18:33Speaker 4: on the property.
- 18:34Speaker 3: But I'm not.
- 18:35Speaker 2: I'm not.
- 18:36Speaker 4: I'm not allergic to poison ivy or I thought poison oak.
- 18:41Speaker 4: But you know, obviously it was different. And after two
- 18:45Speaker 4: or three days I went to the doctor and wait.

- 20:31Speaker 2: John with his photo Fido Dermoy.
- 20:35Speaker 4: The other thing I did find out I was allergic
- 20:37Speaker 4: to was some tropical fruit. And the way I found
- 20:41Speaker 4: that out was we were at the Hotel del for
- 20:45Speaker 4: a weekend and went and laid on the beach and
- 20:49Speaker 4: I did not bring any stuns, so I bought a
- 20:53Speaker 4: mango suns put it all all over my body, laid
- 20:58Speaker 4: out in the sun. Not also allergic. The main goes.
- 21:05Speaker 2: It sounds like a Seinfeld episode. I lathered myself with
- 21:09Speaker 2: mango from top to bottom, all over my body. Hey,
- 21:13Speaker 2: do you remember prior.
- 21:14Speaker 4: To the well you should remember it was just a
- 21:16Speaker 4: few minutes ago.
- 21:16Speaker 3: We were but you know, it doesn't hurt to check.
- 21:22Speaker 4: But we were looking at the picture of the sentimental
- 21:25Speaker 4: rows that our buddies Kevin and Terry sent us from Cordelaine.
- 21:29Speaker 2: Idahoa, Yeah, way to go Kevin and Terry. Very nice picture.
- 21:33Speaker 4: But Kevin said that let me see if I got
- 21:37Speaker 4: it here. He said that he brought it to Cordelane
- 21:41Speaker 4: from Poway and he had previously brought it to Poway
- 21:46Speaker 4: from Otion.
- 21:46Speaker 2: Being it's even more impressive.
- 21:48Speaker 4: Yeah, and it loves Portlaine awesome.
- 21:53Speaker 2: Wow. But you know what you know, coming from Motion
- 21:56Speaker 2: Beach to Powway to Cordelaine, now you're in Snooke and
- 21:59Speaker 2: you have to you gesture your hordor coach will thinking right,
- 22:03Speaker 2: I mean.
- 22:04Speaker 4: But it says a lot about the.
- 22:08Speaker 2: But I mean other plants in general, other plants in
- 22:11Speaker 2: general that you're just so used to growing and then
- 22:13Speaker 2: you move someplace to a cold climate kind of expect
- 22:15Speaker 2: everything to grow and you're like, what happened here? Well
- 22:18Speaker 2: maybe minus forty happened? Yeah, exactly.
- 22:22Speaker 3: Maybe the uh you know windshield that just breaks off
- 22:26Speaker 3: a branch.
- 22:27Speaker 2: Right exactly are the icicles that are hanging?
- 22:30Speaker 1: Uh?
- 22:32Speaker 4: Kevin has a question for you, Tiger, because sure are
- 22:35Speaker 4: local radish experts?
- 22:36Speaker 3: Oh, yes, definitely, Losh.
- 22:38Speaker 4: He said that he was watching the Food Channel and
- 22:41Speaker 4: he wants enough you know anything about watermelon radish. I've
- 22:49Speaker 4: never heard that term. I know there's lots of radish.
- 22:52Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, if if only we had somewhere you could
- 22:59Speaker 4: look at us.
- 23:01Speaker 3: But there's so many varieties. I don't know.
- 23:08Speaker 4: There's even black radish. I think it's something they used
- 23:12Speaker 4: in Hungarian cooking. And you know, I mean it's it's
- 23:16Speaker 4: it's it's black. I mean you're obviously from the deep
- 23:18Speaker 4: red to the black. You're talking, it's black. The whole
- 23:22Speaker 4: radish is completely one with the pink, with the green skin,
- 23:26Speaker 4: the watermelon. Watermelon, Oh, what variety? Because watermelon is not
- 23:31Speaker 4: a variety I've ever seen sold.
- 23:33Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Burpie sells it.
- 23:35Speaker 2: They do. Is it a new one?
- 23:38Speaker 3: But because they've seen it before, it's it's got the
- 23:41Speaker 3: white skin with it like sparkler, or the whole thing
- 23:44Speaker 3: is white.
- 23:45Speaker 5: The whole thing is white. That's a normal radish.
- 23:50Speaker 4: Well there's white icicle. But you see bradishes are white inside.
- 23:54Speaker 3: Yeah, this one is pink.
- 23:56Speaker 4: So this one is white outside and pink inside.
- 23:59Speaker 3: Correct.
- 23:59Speaker 5: H that's that's the watermelon. And Renees has one, as
- 24:06Speaker 5: they call it one.
- 24:07Speaker 2: You know, since I've only tasted probably one radish my
- 24:10Speaker 2: whole life, or one one variety, I'm wondering if these
- 24:13Speaker 2: have different tastes.
- 24:15Speaker 4: Well, don't you eat the French breakfast radish, that's the
- 24:18Speaker 4: long Gate.
- 24:19Speaker 2: No, I have not tried the elongated.
- 24:22Speaker 3: Not even when we were in France.
- 24:25Speaker 2: Well, I maybe I don't remember, but I just I
- 24:27Speaker 2: just know the basic radish. So I'm guessing I'm wondering
- 24:30Speaker 2: what these taste like.
- 24:31Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, maybe Kevin can say what why they.
- 24:36Speaker 3: I mean a lot of times they'll use it.
- 24:37Speaker 4: Just because yeah, or maybe it does give a different flame. Yeah,
- 24:41Speaker 4: but it could give it, you know, the best way
- 24:44Speaker 4: to eat radishes. Absolutely, here we go. We're gonna we're
- 24:46Speaker 4: gonna heard this. Yeah, hold on, we've got the extra
- 24:50Speaker 4: virgin olive oil, right, yeah, and you you cut the
- 24:54Speaker 4: radishes and oh you know what, I think we're getting
- 24:58Speaker 4: seats for watermelon even as we speak.
- 25:01Speaker 3: We got French breakfast. French breakfast.
- 25:04Speaker 2: Okay, there you go, Brian, that's what you were talking about,
- 25:08Speaker 2: French breakfast.
- 25:08Speaker 4: Radishes and they are elongated, they are and pink, and
- 25:14Speaker 4: they're mild. No, they're not mild. Actually they're a little
- 25:18Speaker 4: a little spice here.
- 25:20Speaker 2: No, that was that was in reference to aol cigarette.
- 25:22Speaker 4: But anyway, you slice the radishes thin into a bowl
- 25:27Speaker 4: and for a lot of for salt and extra virgin
- 25:33Speaker 4: olive oil over them.
- 25:34Speaker 3: Emily and pink salts are just any salt.
- 25:36Speaker 4: You could probably use any salt and then you you,
- 25:40Speaker 4: you know, just mix it up and then eat them
- 25:42Speaker 4: with a fork. Yeah, fantastic. And you know what, kids
- 25:47Speaker 4: like that too. Now will these will these grow in
- 25:49Speaker 4: two weeks as well?
- 25:52Speaker 3: Yeah? Bradishes, you know, bradishes.
- 25:55Speaker 2: They don't mess around me. I'm gonna grow.
- 25:57Speaker 4: You can even use radishes to mark the rows of
- 26:02Speaker 4: slow German eating plants, for instance.
- 26:06Speaker 2: So you know where they are.
- 26:09Speaker 4: If you plant a row of carrots, it takes seems
- 26:12Speaker 4: like forever before they Germany. But if every uh to
- 26:17Speaker 4: every foot or so you put in one radish seed
- 26:21Speaker 4: that they'll come up right away within a few days.
- 26:23Speaker 4: So you'll know where that row of carrots is until
- 26:26Speaker 4: the carrots come up, because otherwise you don't know where
- 26:30Speaker 4: to step.
- 26:30Speaker 3: And okay, little or you can put a little.
- 26:38Speaker 4: You could, you could, yeah, but still when you go
- 26:41Speaker 4: in there food, when you go to pull weeds or
- 26:45Speaker 4: something like that. Hey, since we're talking about the vegetable garden,
- 26:50Speaker 4: you guys, are you ready for August eighth?
- 26:54Speaker 2: What about you? August eighth?
- 26:55Speaker 4: Yeah, August days is national Sneak some ucchini onto your
- 27:01Speaker 4: neighbor's sports day?
- 27:02Speaker 2: You know what? I almost posted that on my Facebook page. Really, yes,
- 27:06Speaker 2: And that's in the newsletter, and and it's a it's
- 27:09Speaker 2: a real day, it's a real day. Give us a
- 27:10Speaker 2: little background.
- 27:11Speaker 5: Well, John's gonna give us a lot of background, because
- 27:13Speaker 5: how many zucchinis did you play?
- 27:14Speaker 3: It?
- 27:15Speaker 2: I only planet three?
- 27:16Speaker 3: Oh okay, I thought you planned more.
- 27:17Speaker 5: For some reason, I was gonna say I was gonna
- 27:19Speaker 5: be speaking zucchinis three groups.
- 27:21Speaker 3: But you know, I planted Costada roman Esco.
- 27:24Speaker 4: That was an Italian actor back in the forties, and
- 27:28Speaker 4: it was I planned it for several reasons. One is
- 27:32Speaker 4: they're not as prolific as regular zucchini, and you know,
- 27:37Speaker 4: really who needs that many zucchini? So I planted three hills.
- 27:42Speaker 4: They're called hills, but they're not actually on a hill.
- 27:44Speaker 4: It's just like a grouping three, uh, And there's probably
- 27:49Speaker 4: three plants in each, so nine twelve plants something like that.
- 27:54Speaker 4: But because I plan it so late, mine are just
- 27:58Speaker 4: starting to develop. And I think because Costada romanesco is
- 28:04Speaker 4: a lot meteor and not as watery as regular zucchini,
- 28:10Speaker 4: I don't think they grow as fast. And you know,
- 28:13Speaker 4: because with regular zucchini, you see it one day and
- 28:17Speaker 4: the next day it's too big to because literally have
- 28:21Speaker 4: to go out there in the night, right just to
- 28:23Speaker 4: get it at the right size.
- 28:25Speaker 2: Yeah watching yeah, so.
- 28:30Speaker 4: But also, and when we talked about this, Brian, we
- 28:33Speaker 4: saw them selling flowers in Italy at the vegetable stand right,
- 28:40Speaker 4: Costata romanescuco flowers and I wish I would have taken
- 28:43Speaker 4: a picture, but I went out in my garden, probably
- 28:46Speaker 4: about four or five days ago, and it they were
- 28:50Speaker 4: the prettiest flowers, like a whole bouquet of them.
- 28:54Speaker 3: Just orangish yellowish flowers.
- 28:57Speaker 4: Just right right, but big, really big one. That's why
- 29:00Speaker 4: they're sold is because you know they're used for uh dipping,
- 29:06Speaker 4: dipping them in egg batter and bread crumbs and frying them.
- 29:09Speaker 3: You know, we're cottage.
- 29:15Speaker 4: I've never seen that, so I don't know. But then
- 29:18Speaker 4: I have had them one time, just battered and fried,
- 29:23Speaker 4: and they were pretty good.
- 29:23Speaker 2: Anything better than fighting. I was good.
- 29:25Speaker 5: I was gonna say, I've said this story before where
- 29:28Speaker 5: I was at a fund raising fund they battered and
- 29:32Speaker 5: fig then had like these and like a balsamic on
- 29:37Speaker 5: top of it, spctacular, Like I would never think to
- 29:42Speaker 5: like eat a big lead. They're kind of like hard,
- 29:45Speaker 5: like no, there's there's people.
- 29:47Speaker 2: And this goes back to the dawn of time when
- 29:50Speaker 2: they're thinking, I wonder what that would taste. I'm gonna
- 29:53Speaker 2: taste it and see if I die. If I don't die,
- 29:56Speaker 2: how can I make the taste better?
- 29:57Speaker 3: How can I batter it? Yeah? What kind of batter
- 30:01Speaker 3: do I put on? In animal fat oil?
- 30:04Speaker 2: Do you like a scargo.
- 30:07Speaker 4: I've had them before, and I could not eat them
- 30:10Speaker 4: today because they're usually in a garlic sauce and I
- 30:14Speaker 4: can't eat garlic anymore.
- 30:15Speaker 2: But I did like them. I loved it, and obviously
- 30:18Speaker 2: I loved it because of the garlic sauce, butter and
- 30:21Speaker 2: everything else. You wouldn't know what you were eating.
- 30:24Speaker 3: Oh that's the thing. People get all funky about it. Yeah,
- 30:29Speaker 3: but you.
- 30:32Speaker 2: Can't tell garlic, but I can't tell you. We've got
- 30:35Speaker 2: a break coming up, and if you're tuned in on

- 31:47Speaker 3: Because it's been so nice. Like we were talking about
- 31:50Speaker 3: this weather.
- 31:50Speaker 5: I mean I drove up to Fallbrook yesterday to have
- 31:53Speaker 5: a meeting with my crew and this was the weather.
- 31:59Speaker 3: This here cool, Yeah, a little drizzly.
- 32:03Speaker 4: So there's about a week of hot weather coming up though,
- 32:07Speaker 4: like high and by hot, I just mean high eighties,
- 32:11Speaker 4: maybe a couple my eighties is okay.
- 32:14Speaker 3: But do you think it'll start in the morning, because
- 32:16Speaker 3: that's always the best. No, not usually in the morning.
- 32:18Speaker 5: I was gonna say, when it's cool in the morning
- 32:20Speaker 5: and then it gets hot, that's not a bad It's
- 32:22Speaker 5: when you wake up in the morning, walk outside in
- 32:26Speaker 5: it's eight So that's.
- 32:29Speaker 2: Speaking of earthquakes and tsunamis. So remember a couple of
- 32:35Speaker 2: weeks ago, I told you that Alexa gives us notification.
- 32:38Speaker 2: You must okay, So she'll say there's a high surf
- 32:41Speaker 2: advisory for Script Ranch. Well, Scripts Ranch, where I live
- 32:44Speaker 2: is nowhere near the beach. It's probably thirty forty miles
- 32:47Speaker 2: from the beach. So when that earthquake happened in what
- 32:51Speaker 2: Japan or someplace, no, Russia, I'm sorry, rushed over eastern
- 32:55Speaker 2: part of Russia. So there was a tsunami that that developed. Obviously,
- 32:59Speaker 2: so we got some.
- 33:00Speaker 4: Of the largest earthquakes every yeah, eight point eight, except
- 33:04Speaker 4: the one in Alaska I think was in sixty four
- 33:07Speaker 4: was a little stronger.
- 33:08Speaker 2: But nevertheless we were getting tsunami warnings and scripts.
- 33:11Speaker 3: Ranch.
- 33:11Speaker 2: Yeah, everybody, I you know, you didn't run to the hills. No,
- 33:18Speaker 2: we didn't run to the hills.
- 33:19Speaker 4: That would be a really big tsunami if it affected you,
- 33:23Speaker 4: it's that would be bye bye.
- 33:27Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be bye bye. Yeah. That was quite
- 33:30Speaker 2: an earthquake. And of course, uh, the tsunami came down
- 33:33Speaker 2: the coast. What you know, me bye bye?
- 33:37Speaker 5: Oh, Backstreet Boys bye yeah, you.
- 33:40Speaker 2: Know what those boy bands that was after that was
- 33:42Speaker 2: after me. Oh my gosh, I'm sorry.
- 33:46Speaker 7: But.
- 33:47Speaker 3: What but your boy bands were the Beatles, the Monk.
- 33:51Speaker 2: They weren't called boy band.
- 33:52Speaker 4: They were bands, but they weren't but they weren't called
- 33:55Speaker 4: they weren't boy fans.
- 33:56Speaker 2: That's a difference there, Yeah, a big different course. It's a.
- 34:01Speaker 3: Hey Carla. Carla says that she has.
- 34:06Speaker 4: Rose pots on an area of Pavers that's surrounded by
- 34:10Speaker 4: rubber bark, molt and don't judge it for that wait
- 34:15Speaker 4: o rubber, Yeah, you know, play.
- 34:20Speaker 2: And things like that. Oh, I like you know what, Yeah,
- 34:23Speaker 2: it's kind of soft.
- 34:24Speaker 3: Right, and she wants to know Tiger.
- 34:26Speaker 4: Can she sprinkle cream in the cracks between the pavers
- 34:31Speaker 4: to help keep the weeds down?
- 34:35Speaker 5: Now it's pretty much on top of the story. Yeah,
- 34:43Speaker 5: which that's what prevents the seats Germany.
- 34:45Speaker 2: Would it expand it?
- 34:46Speaker 5: No?
- 34:47Speaker 3: I wouldn't expanded, but it might work a little.
- 34:50Speaker 4: But you what you're saying is you'd almost have to
- 34:53Speaker 4: do it before you put the pavers down, right.
- 34:55Speaker 3: Or like or like? Is it it's.
- 34:59Speaker 5: The Yeah, I wondering if well, this is this is pavers.
- 35:05Speaker 5: She's saying, the rubber in the cracks of the paper,
- 35:09Speaker 5: is it? Because what's in the cracks if soil?
- 35:11Speaker 3: No?
- 35:11Speaker 4: No, the pavers are Yeah, the pavers are surrounded by
- 35:14Speaker 4: the rubber.
- 35:15Speaker 5: Right, So that's what I'm saying. Would would that pre
- 35:18Speaker 5: emergent work on a rubber mold?
- 35:21Speaker 4: You know what it might be better is if you
- 35:23Speaker 4: are I'm trying to think if there's nothing growing in
- 35:28Speaker 4: the ground, right, there would be like a soil sterileon
- 35:32Speaker 4: like ground clear or something like that. And you could
- 35:35Speaker 4: just put it on with the watering canra.
- 35:37Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 35:37Speaker 5: And a lot of the products will say one right,
- 35:42Speaker 5: you know ground clears, right, you know all of that.
- 35:47Speaker 5: So if you look for those products, what it is
- 35:50Speaker 5: that's not a pre emergent like what we're talking about.
- 35:53Speaker 5: It's an actual chemical that you put in the soil
- 35:56Speaker 5: and right, you know, nothing roots in there free, right.
- 35:59Speaker 4: And you don't have to to rake up the malt
- 36:03Speaker 4: or anything. Yeah, just part right over the top.
- 36:07Speaker 5: So I mean that's really good for using pathways, pathways,
- 36:11Speaker 5: favorite pathways and all that.
- 36:13Speaker 3: Where you're not worried about planting in it, right, But.
- 36:15Speaker 4: You would not want to use this around or near
- 36:18Speaker 4: a tree where roots are growing underneath, because I.
- 36:22Speaker 3: Think going to be detrimental to the life. Yeah, I
- 36:25Speaker 3: think on the package tells you from vegetated plants.
- 36:33Speaker 4: Dana wanted to correct you, by the way, Tiger was
- 36:35Speaker 4: in sync. You've got your boy bands mixed.
- 36:39Speaker 3: Uff thank you data because yes, I'm so sorry.
- 36:49Speaker 2: So there's Backstreet Boys in sync and uh New Kids.
- 36:55Speaker 4: That was like one of the origin that was the first.
- 36:58Speaker 4: That's Mark Wahlberg right in there. He was the youngest.
- 37:04Speaker 4: I think he got in at the end. Yeah, Donnie,
- 37:07Speaker 4: it was Donnie Walbert. It was Donnie walt I know
- 37:09Speaker 4: a little too a little market. I know a little
- 37:12Speaker 4: too much about this, don't I. Hey, I'm Tiger Joyce.
- 37:16Speaker 4: As she planned a yellow squash and all of a sudden,
- 37:20Speaker 4: one plant gave her green zucchini, just a little surprised.
- 37:24Speaker 4: And that's that's the wonder of gardening.
- 37:27Speaker 3: Well, they can mix seeds up.
- 37:31Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's usually the there's reputable seed companies and
- 37:38Speaker 4: then there's seed companies that sell their seeds just because
- 37:42Speaker 4: they're a low price. So you kind of need to
- 37:46Speaker 4: know who you're dealing with. But even even in a
- 37:49Speaker 4: reputable seed company like a Burpie or Botanical Interest or Rene's,
- 37:56Speaker 4: you know, occasionally you can get a seat that doesn't
- 37:58Speaker 4: belong in there. You get a bad seed, Brian.
- 38:00Speaker 5: And if you bought and if you bought the plant
- 38:04Speaker 5: from the nursery, okay, any number one. Yeah, they're all
- 38:10Speaker 5: out there on the table, somebody out there. Sometimes a
- 38:14Speaker 5: tag will fall out and somebody put a tag back in.
- 38:17Speaker 4: Oh, you're talking about buying the planet.
- 38:20Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I mean.
- 38:21Speaker 5: Just put the tag back into a plant and then
- 38:24Speaker 5: with with without.
- 38:25Speaker 3: I mean, you know John John's work.
- 38:29Speaker 5: Brow right, and if that package that flat plant, well
- 38:36Speaker 5: it can go.
- 38:37Speaker 3: It's full flight under a.
- 38:41Speaker 5: Because nobody it's hard to know what the plant is
- 38:43Speaker 5: until it actually flowers.
- 38:45Speaker 4: And I've got to tell you this was well maybe
- 38:49Speaker 4: forty years ago there was one wholesaler that will remain
- 38:53Speaker 4: nameless to break never out of tomato variety as long
- 39:00Speaker 4: as they had tags.
- 39:01Speaker 2: But yeah, we're we're gonna take a break for biz

- 40:22Speaker 2: What do you have for us?
- 40:23Speaker 4: I just found a new way to get Disney listening.
- 40:26Speaker 2: To what you're saying the stream of consciousness.
- 40:29Speaker 4: Hey, but we'll quickly go back to gardening. But Kevin
- 40:32Speaker 4: wanted to point out that the Temptations in the four Tops,
- 40:35Speaker 4: we're the greatest boy bands. Yeah, you know, I wonder
- 40:41Speaker 4: how they were. I'm trying to think back in the sixties,
- 40:43Speaker 4: how old they would have been. They were probably in
- 40:45Speaker 4: their thirties.
- 40:46Speaker 3: When they were a boy band when yeah.
- 40:48Speaker 2: Thing the sixties.
- 40:49Speaker 4: Sure, no, absolutely, he gotta be the next one. But
- 40:52Speaker 4: Diana Ross was in her late teens. These people, supremes,
- 40:57Speaker 4: These people were born in the thirties for the most really,
- 41:01Speaker 4: because for the thirties and forties, so they could have
- 41:03Speaker 4: been mid to late twenties, could have been I can
- 41:06Speaker 4: find out you google it, because you know, this is
- 41:07Speaker 4: also a music show. If they were born in the thirties.
- 41:10Speaker 4: How could they be their mid to late twenties and
- 41:13Speaker 4: the sixth I said, I said, thirties or forties. He's
- 41:16Speaker 4: in there older. I thought they were younger.
- 41:18Speaker 2: No, I think they were a little older.
- 41:20Speaker 4: Anyway, John and Newpark Beach wants to know what happens
- 41:24Speaker 4: if you plant the seeds after the uh used before
- 41:29Speaker 4: d oh great, well, and he wants to know if
- 41:32Speaker 4: there's a rule of thumb for germination.
- 41:34Speaker 3: So what happened?
- 41:35Speaker 2: Will you?
- 41:35Speaker 3: I think?
- 41:36Speaker 4: See, we've had seed packs in our drawers for years,
- 41:39Speaker 4: some of us, and they're okay, right, yeah, But it's
- 41:42Speaker 4: like if you drink milk the day after it expires,
- 41:45Speaker 4: I mean, you wake up dead.
- 41:46Speaker 2: Do you ever stay up till midnight to watch the
- 41:48Speaker 2: expiration date? No? I don't.
- 41:51Speaker 4: But anyway, there is a general rule of thumb.
- 41:53Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 41:53Speaker 4: And the rule of thumb is that seeds lose ten
- 41:57Speaker 4: percent germination per year, yep. And what affects that is
- 42:02Speaker 4: the variety of seed. For instance, let us loses almost
- 42:08Speaker 4: fifty percent, like within two or three years. It's no
- 42:11Speaker 4: good generally. But other seeds, you know, you can plant tomatoes.
- 42:17Speaker 4: I've planted tomatoes seeds that were fifteen years old and
- 42:20Speaker 4: they still germinated. So it depends how they were stored.
- 42:23Speaker 4: If they're kept dry, away from air sunlight, they last
- 42:28Speaker 4: longer well like.
- 42:29Speaker 5: And also away from air they can't right because they
- 42:33Speaker 5: do still breathe, right, So it's it's like that happy
- 42:38Speaker 5: balance of like in your in your drunk drawer at
- 42:41Speaker 5: the back of the most ideal spot for story.
- 42:45Speaker 2: Yeah, actually that's where where mine work in the back.
- 42:48Speaker 4: Well, we've talked about how they've found seeds and Egyptian
- 42:54Speaker 4: tombs right that two thousand years later germinated, so they
- 42:58Speaker 4: were kept pretty dry and away from moisture. Yeah, So
- 43:04Speaker 4: it does depend, but if you want to use the
- 43:07Speaker 4: general roll of time, you can say ten percent per year.
- 43:10Speaker 5: Yeah, and so to kind of go with that as
- 43:13Speaker 5: if that you do have package you want to plant them,
- 43:18Speaker 5: what you do is you just put a few.
- 43:20Speaker 3: More seeds in a hole.
- 43:23Speaker 5: So normally, you know, when you're planting seeds, you put
- 43:25Speaker 5: like two seeds per a hole, put more just in
- 43:28Speaker 5: case one doesn't come up. Well, if they're very old packaged,
- 43:32Speaker 5: put three or four seeds, and then you know when
- 43:34Speaker 5: they do come up. If two or three do you
- 43:37Speaker 5: can split them out and to buy them and go
- 43:39Speaker 5: from there. But at least, at least you don't have
- 43:42Speaker 5: an when you're when you're planting them. So just put
- 43:46Speaker 5: a few more seeds in the hole and you'll be fine. Yeah,
- 43:48Speaker 5: and if you're really lucky, they all come up even
- 43:50Speaker 5: though they're expired.
- 43:52Speaker 3: Then you just have a lot more planning.
- 43:53Speaker 2: It was like the sesame seeds that John gave me
- 43:55Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. Nothing happened. You had the
- 43:58Speaker 2: same thing too. I don't know what's going to happen.
- 44:00Speaker 2: They made and grow me. You got him on what
- 44:01Speaker 2: you get him on? Remember those rose?
- 44:07Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 44:08Speaker 2: Yeah, you.
- 44:11Speaker 3: That wouldn't fall for that?
- 44:12Speaker 4: No?
- 44:12Speaker 3: What what?
- 44:13Speaker 2: What was that? Mickey mouse? Remember it was a scam.
- 44:17Speaker 2: I told you that from you gave it.
- 44:19Speaker 4: No, you said, go ahead and plan them. I don't
- 44:21Speaker 4: know what's going to happen. Anything could happen. I don't
- 44:23Speaker 4: know what they are. They say they're rose seeds, but
- 44:25Speaker 4: they're probably not. Go ahead and plant I don't remember.
- 44:28Speaker 4: Yeah they haven't. You remember it wasn't roast seeds. I
- 44:32Speaker 4: gave you to try to germinate your.
- 44:33Speaker 3: No, no, no, scam talked about.
- 44:36Speaker 5: It something did somebody done them to me? For yes, yes,
- 44:41Speaker 5: this was the whole thing. They were sending. There were
- 44:43Speaker 5: these companies, oh I.
- 44:45Speaker 3: Remember from China though, yes, yes, sending it was a
- 44:49Speaker 3: real thing.
- 44:49Speaker 5: People were like, why why did I get the mail?
- 44:52Speaker 5: I what's that? What's that real cheap website? That it
- 44:56Speaker 5: was kind of something like that.
- 44:58Speaker 4: It was something like that, and and so of course
- 45:00Speaker 4: I'm like all excited, thinking, well, something's gonna come up.
- 45:03Speaker 2: We were like, nothing came up.
- 45:05Speaker 3: Well, have you noticed You're the one that.
- 45:07Speaker 2: Said, they're probably just sensing me. Go ahead and see
- 45:09Speaker 2: what happened.
- 45:10Speaker 3: Have you?
- 45:12Speaker 4: Tiger's probably noticed this rather than you because might come
- 45:15Speaker 4: up more on his feeds. But there's a lot of
- 45:19Speaker 4: ads popping up on social media that'll show you throwing
- 45:24Speaker 4: down some seeds in the these houses the next like
- 45:28Speaker 4: in a few months are covered with ros. You know,
- 45:32Speaker 4: it's just not true. And there's there's other plants like that.
- 45:35Speaker 4: It's showing p and he seeds. The huge tree peonies
- 45:39Speaker 4: come from. Just putting these ut tells you not to
- 45:42Speaker 4: plant too many because neighbors will come over all the time.
- 45:45Speaker 3: Look at them. I love.
- 45:48Speaker 5: So you only only you know it's so funny. Is
- 45:54Speaker 5: so obviously we all deal with face. But Morning imand
- 46:00Speaker 5: regular blue more the property that we customers like, hey,
- 46:05Speaker 5: can you kill this morning? Yeah, no problem. You know
- 46:10Speaker 5: we grab.
- 46:12Speaker 3: Strong right, excell come out all right?
- 46:19Speaker 5: Two weeks so Morning Glory And I don't know because
- 46:27Speaker 5: the spray that we use, topical spray, that killing all
- 46:33Speaker 5: just keeps coming back.
- 46:35Speaker 4: I don't know what are you We're using Glacis state though, yeah,
- 46:39Speaker 4: because Glycis state should do it right, you have to
- 46:42Speaker 4: use it at the brush killer right though.
- 46:45Speaker 5: Oh I'm about to. I don't know what to deal
- 46:50Speaker 5: with it. I think what it is is we spray
- 46:53Speaker 5: because the other.
- 46:53Speaker 3: Thing is that the Yeah, so I spray the full
- 46:58Speaker 3: and I think it kills all back. I feel like.
- 47:01Speaker 2: It's not getting deep, it's not getting to the root.
- 47:03Speaker 5: Well, it's it's getting to the root of don't oh
- 47:09Speaker 5: what happens by the time.
- 47:18Speaker 2: Glories are so pretty?
- 47:19Speaker 3: Oh?
- 47:20Speaker 4: Tell they take over a house like what you're just yeah? Yeah,
- 47:24Speaker 4: I used to think cats was.
- 47:27Speaker 2: You had Cat's claw on your own. Oh, I told you.
- 47:30Speaker 4: The only way I could solve my problem there was
- 47:32Speaker 4: to move. Yeah, Cat's class the most invasive thing I've
- 47:36Speaker 4: ever seen.
- 47:37Speaker 5: There was another question that went along with the seat question,
- 47:39Speaker 5: and it was planting him. But then he also asked
- 47:44Speaker 5: was a zucchini and a rule of thumb of how.
- 47:47Speaker 3: Many to plant?
- 47:49Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't say that.
- 47:50Speaker 3: There was the second part of his question that I
- 47:53Speaker 3: don't think.
- 47:55Speaker 4: Well, that what we answered all of John's questions. We
- 47:59Speaker 4: had a con men from Colleen that she bought sung
- 48:02Speaker 4: Gold tomatoes and has peppers growing.
- 48:04Speaker 3: That is, that's the beautiful she'd buy Thatmado plant. I
- 48:08Speaker 3: want to know, Colley, did you buy it tomato plants
- 48:10Speaker 3: or the actual seed?
- 48:12Speaker 4: But she said she bought the It sounded like she
- 48:14Speaker 4: bought a plant. But yeah, if if it was a plant,
- 48:17Speaker 4: you should be able to.
- 48:18Speaker 3: Shouldn't You should have known that when you were buying.
- 48:21Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean all you got to do is take
- 48:23Speaker 4: a picture. I d with Google into the like oh
- 48:26Speaker 4: yeah yeah, really yeah yeah. She says the label was
- 48:30Speaker 4: a sticker on the pot, so she just looked at
- 48:33Speaker 4: the label, so it was just mistag.
- 48:37Speaker 3: Carla has a couple of roses that are miss labeled,
- 48:39Speaker 3: so frustrating.
- 48:42Speaker 4: There are so many roses that end up being especially
- 48:45Speaker 4: certain companies right, there's one rose company. I won't even
- 48:48Speaker 4: mention them on air, but I would never buy a
- 48:50Speaker 4: rose from them again because it took years to get
- 48:54Speaker 4: the plants and then they were misplaked.
- 48:59Speaker 5: And and if you know it's a tree or shrub,
- 49:04Speaker 5: you know, John buys a lot of plants on the pone,
- 49:07Speaker 5: you know, and in their trees, you know, beautiful trees
- 49:10Speaker 5: that you're gonna.
- 49:12Speaker 3: Avocados, right, you know, you're not going.
- 49:14Speaker 7: To know if if that's a variety that right, that's
- 49:22Speaker 7: that's how you need to or that's why you need
- 49:24Speaker 7: to buy from reputable stores.
- 49:27Speaker 4: And you know there's I think the avocados that I got,
- 49:32Speaker 4: a couple came from members of the Rare fruit growers
- 49:37Speaker 4: to take a break, and they did their own graft things,
- 49:39Speaker 4: so I think they might.
- 49:41Speaker 2: You're suggesting, do not buy seeds from fly by Night
- 49:44Speaker 2: Seed coming.
- 49:46Speaker 3: What that name?
- 49:48Speaker 4: All Right, we're gonna take a break for our friends
- 49:50Speaker 4: on Bistok Radio Facebook Life. We're coming back with one, two,
- 49:53Speaker 4: three more segmentsier broadcasting life from Mission Hills.
- 49:56Speaker 2: There's three guard in America on your weekend. Okay, that
- 50:53Speaker 2: we didn't pick that up then, right, we didn't hear
- 50:55Speaker 2: John's comment, Dana wants to know if Cat's clock can
- 50:58Speaker 2: give you cat's scratch fever. I think it can, and
- 51:01Speaker 2: that's one reason why it's invasive.
- 51:03Speaker 3: I think just being silly. Oh is she yeah?
- 51:06Speaker 2: You know why she used to work on a wacky
- 51:08Speaker 2: morning shot and welcome back to Garden America. Oh yeah,
- 51:12Speaker 2: thank you. If you're just joining us, you're like, wait,
- 51:14Speaker 2: what is this? What's going on? Yeah? This is Garden
- 51:16Speaker 2: America Radio. We do drift off into music now and
- 51:18Speaker 2: then America Radio.
- 51:21Speaker 4: Tiger, you're also our pepper expert, definitely. And Sue wants
- 51:27Speaker 4: to know why her jullapeno plant has both regular shaped
- 51:32Speaker 4: peppers bell pepper. No, I think she's talking about regular
- 51:37Speaker 4: shaped talepeno okay and round pepper. And she says, in
- 51:42Speaker 4: summer mild and summer hot on the same plant.
- 51:45Speaker 2: Ah, okay, how about that coming off the same.
- 51:50Speaker 3: The same plant. Yeah? That's Are you sure too, because
- 51:54Speaker 3: sometimes like are you pulling Tiger's leg?
- 51:58Speaker 5: Because sometimes, like what we talk about, see, a grower
- 52:02Speaker 5: will put two sy in one hole to make sure
- 52:05Speaker 5: that they get you know, growth, And.
- 52:07Speaker 3: If you buy a plant, you could have to in there.
- 52:10Speaker 5: And you don't realize and around Oh yeah, I mean
- 52:16Speaker 5: and and you know, I mean round ish peppers that
- 52:19Speaker 5: are hot.
- 52:23Speaker 2: There's a lot of because that some are mild.
- 52:27Speaker 5: Well well, but she might be eating hall of paano,
- 52:30Speaker 5: which is wild compared to so so I mean number one,
- 52:36Speaker 5: I mean you might have two plants coming at them
- 52:39Speaker 5: and area fiddle if if they're coming the same, you
- 52:46Speaker 5: have a branch that's producing regular hall.
- 52:50Speaker 3: Is producing round did that? Sometimes?
- 52:53Speaker 5: You know, environmentally peppersmatoes out a little bit different from
- 52:59Speaker 5: each other because they thinks germanation yea fruit growing period.
- 53:10Speaker 5: But in general too you can have hallop or not
- 53:15Speaker 5: always meaning you know, some of the hallowpens when you
- 53:19Speaker 5: harvest it could be really hot, really hot. Then the
- 53:23Speaker 5: same plant can field bit wild. That is the beauty.
- 53:29Speaker 5: I think most all peppers all depends on when harvested.
- 53:33Speaker 5: And you know, you know, good luck on.
- 53:40Speaker 4: Well, Brian, like you say, it's all about the Scholville units.
- 53:43Speaker 2: I'm into Scoville. So what is the hottest pepper right now?
- 53:47Speaker 2: The Carolina? Is it still? Because I know they keep
- 53:50Speaker 2: trying to, you know, increase the heat with different varieties.
- 53:52Speaker 4: I think there might be, but I think yeah, but
- 53:56Speaker 4: that's not that's just being silly.
- 53:58Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's unedible.
- 54:00Speaker 2: Have you seen these pepper eating contests with people on
- 54:03Speaker 2: a panel and they keep they keep increasing, you know,
- 54:05Speaker 2: the peppers each time. Steve Goto used to do that,
- 54:08Speaker 2: I'm pepper tasting.
- 54:09Speaker 3: He did eat a lot of hot. Yeah.
- 54:12Speaker 4: I remember at Euro American Uh there, we had an
- 54:18Speaker 4: event there and he had set up the peppers from
- 54:20Speaker 4: mile to hot.
- 54:21Speaker 2: Yes, you know what. I took Eric to that when
- 54:24Speaker 2: he was little, really to one of those yes.
- 54:26Speaker 4: And one of the employees there said she nothing was
- 54:30Speaker 4: too hot for her. And she started on the peppers.
- 54:34Speaker 4: She started in the middle because you said, I'm yeah right,
- 54:40Speaker 4: And she kept going and she went to the end.
- 54:44Speaker 4: And I said, I can't believe you did it. I said,
- 54:47Speaker 4: you don't think that's too hot? He goes, no, it's fine,
- 54:51Speaker 4: I'm not exaggerating. Five minutes later, I start vomiting into
- 54:56Speaker 4: a barrel.
- 54:58Speaker 3: So bad.
- 54:59Speaker 2: I think, what is your theory on?
- 55:01Speaker 4: I mean, if it's hot going down coming up, it
- 55:03Speaker 4: could be hot too, right.
- 55:05Speaker 2: So I think that the being able to withstand peppers
- 55:10Speaker 2: and heat like that have to be in your DNA.
- 55:13Speaker 3: Oh, there's a lot of that.
- 55:15Speaker 2: I think.
- 55:15Speaker 4: I think you're just cut out to take the heat,
- 55:18Speaker 4: because I trust me, I couldn't get past two or three.
- 55:21Speaker 2: If I'm shouting from the beginning. I don't like a
- 55:24Speaker 2: lot of heat.
- 55:25Speaker 3: And I really doll.
- 55:30Speaker 4: And your body, your body to accept it. Yeah, I
- 55:34Speaker 4: you know, I'm I would never claim to no. I
- 55:37Speaker 4: know my limits. I know my limits are resident landscaper,
- 55:42Speaker 4: here is a question for you. Tiger John says that
- 55:47Speaker 4: he had to remove some Boston ivy that was covering
- 55:49Speaker 4: the wall. He had to repair a gate, so he
- 55:52Speaker 4: was wondering if there's something better to cover the wall
- 55:55Speaker 4: and what you would recommend? It's a six foot stuck
- 55:58Speaker 4: a wall on both sides. Is there something ever green
- 56:02Speaker 4: and fast growing?
- 56:04Speaker 3: So so, I mean we do get this question a lot.
- 56:06Speaker 4: And there's a difference between fast growing and invasive.
- 56:10Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 56:10Speaker 5: Yeah, but but but I also feel like the biggest
- 56:14Speaker 5: Boston ivy bike is wrapping it catched themselves right, So
- 56:20Speaker 5: they are fast growing, but they are also self where
- 56:25Speaker 5: you could get morning block line, you know.
- 56:30Speaker 4: What about start jasmin, But you have.
- 56:34Speaker 5: To give them something, but like a structure. Sometimes just
- 56:40Speaker 5: putting screws in the wall and putting a few wires.
- 56:44Speaker 3: Oh you know.
- 56:45Speaker 5: So so you have two different plants that it's hard
- 56:51Speaker 5: to compare them each other because you know, as we
- 56:54Speaker 5: talked about the other plants, Starge thirty, it will cover
- 56:57Speaker 5: all beautiful, but it needs the structure where you know,
- 57:02Speaker 5: like to day with the ivy, it'll just grow by itself.
- 57:05Speaker 3: Star Jasmin won't.
- 57:06Speaker 4: To primrose Jasmin would be even faster, right prim rose
- 57:12Speaker 4: pink pink Jasaman SuperM not primrose.
- 57:14Speaker 2: I meant.
- 57:16Speaker 5: Super fast, right, Yeah, you know I like the star
- 57:21Speaker 5: jasmine no better because when it blooms in flowers it's
- 57:24Speaker 5: a little bit longer period. Pink Jazmin so beautiful and gorgeous, dramatic,
- 57:30Speaker 5: but then about forward exactly exactly. So I mean so,
- 57:35Speaker 5: so I hope that that clarified it because you know
- 57:39Speaker 5: a lot of people do look for something that will
- 57:42Speaker 5: through the wall and do you know of anything else?
- 57:45Speaker 3: But you know ivy clot no.
- 57:50Speaker 2: Definitely what is that ability that stick? The sticky? Is
- 57:54Speaker 2: it stick?
- 57:55Speaker 4: The tendrils have like suckers, They actually like tigers, still
- 57:59Speaker 4: grow into the wall and in old homes back east,
- 58:04Speaker 4: you can see that the Ivy's actually pulled bricks out
- 58:07Speaker 4: of the house.
- 58:09Speaker 5: Yeah, and especially because like that mortar and those bricks
- 58:12Speaker 5: getting so the the roots grow into the brick and mortar.
- 58:19Speaker 4: That sounds like a group on tour. The into the
- 58:21Speaker 4: mortar tour mortar sounds like a country brick and mortar. Yeah,
- 58:27Speaker 4: that's good. Kevin said that he got scammed ordering some
- 58:32Speaker 4: of the t seeds after I endorse the miracle tea
- 58:36Speaker 4: that keeps you healthy. Uh no, you're thinking of Ashua Ganda,
- 58:43Speaker 4: but It'shitaba.
- 58:46Speaker 3: Kevin did good though.
- 58:47Speaker 4: He said he thinks it was called Angelica something and
- 58:50Speaker 4: it is a type of Angelica. Angelica case k and
- 58:56Speaker 4: Porta Lane would be a perfect area to grow it.
- 58:58Speaker 4: But if you're trying to grow it from seed, the
- 59:00Speaker 4: seats have to be what are the two words tiger
- 59:05Speaker 4: stratified sclarified.
- 59:09Speaker 3: They have to be both.
- 59:10Speaker 4: No, but they do need to be stratified. Which is
- 59:14Speaker 4: which is the full treatment?
- 59:15Speaker 2: Break time? Sorry, I gotta keep us on all right
- 59:18Speaker 2: now on time to the network BIS talk. Ready back, Okay,
- 59:57Speaker 2: we are back. We have two more segments. This this
- 59:59Speaker 2: sec right here is the longer of the two. This
- 1:00:01Speaker 2: is over ten minutes, plenty of time, and then our
- 1:00:04Speaker 2: final segment after the segment right here as we continue
- 1:00:06Speaker 2: broadcasting live. If you're just joining us Mission Hills Nursery
- 1:00:10Speaker 2: and it is summertime, but we're I guess close enough
- 1:00:12Speaker 2: to the coast where the marine layer will probably break
- 1:00:15Speaker 2: up around eleven o'clock. Is that about right around here?
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: An eleven o'clock or noon? So we are enjoying the
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: overcast weather here, John, you're we have a lot of
- 1:00:24Speaker 2: marine layer up at Camp Pendleton, absolutely, Heyers of Marines.
- 1:00:29Speaker 4: Finishing up with Kevin's talk on the ocean Shapa, Yeah,
- 1:00:34Speaker 4: the Angelica case case, since it does need to be stratified. Kevin,
- 1:00:37Speaker 4: if you plant the seeds, if you would mark that
- 1:00:41Speaker 4: area and just leave them in the ground, because they
- 1:00:44Speaker 4: won't come up till the next year, right where he lives,
- 1:00:48Speaker 4: so after they've gone through the winter, they should be okay.
- 1:00:51Speaker 4: But for us, well they just do Yeah, they really
- 1:00:53Speaker 4: don't grow well here because now maybe on the coast
- 1:00:56Speaker 4: they would they need cool conditions in general, right in
- 1:01:02Speaker 4: Fallbrook it's too hot.
- 1:01:03Speaker 2: They would do well here till eleven o'clock.
- 1:01:06Speaker 4: Yeah, but they would have to be stratified like Tiger's
- 1:01:11Speaker 4: saying before they would grow, or you can buy plants.
- 1:01:14Speaker 4: Try to tread order plants online.
- 1:01:16Speaker 5: Now, you know, because it comes up in buying plants
- 1:01:21Speaker 5: as far as if it's a seed, can you think
- 1:01:25Speaker 5: that rooted in a region that it wouldn't be stratified like
- 1:01:32Speaker 5: for instance, like we talked about like tum they need
- 1:01:35Speaker 5: a lot of growers. They're called pre chilled where they
- 1:01:39Speaker 5: tell them to they're ready to, right, so seeds are not.
- 1:01:44Speaker 4: You have to you can you can buy pre chilled seeds, right,
- 1:01:50Speaker 4: And there is someone online that says they've been pre
- 1:01:53Speaker 4: chilled and maybe that's what Kevin bought. Okay, and then
- 1:01:57Speaker 4: they didn't germinate. But ushaba is what's that current craze macha.
- 1:02:05Speaker 3: Or cheap tea?
- 1:02:06Speaker 4: Yeah, that that they're running out of now right, Yeah,
- 1:02:11Speaker 4: and it's the internet craze. But because of that, the
- 1:02:15Speaker 4: seeds were hard to get, the plants were hard to get.
- 1:02:17Speaker 4: Uh tea Tea bags went from I think I used
- 1:02:21Speaker 4: to pay like eleven dollars a box thirty, you know,
- 1:02:26Speaker 4: and now they're up to seventy dollars.
- 1:02:28Speaker 2: Wow.
- 1:02:30Speaker 4: Okay, So that happens when something gets on the internet.
- 1:02:33Speaker 4: I heard today that the the latest craze was to
- 1:02:36Speaker 4: buy chocolate.
- 1:02:37Speaker 3: Oh that's been a crazy hasn't Have you had it?
- 1:02:40Speaker 2: No? Not a huge what's the difference? What does it
- 1:02:43Speaker 2: taste like?
- 1:02:44Speaker 5: The biggest difference that there's no meaning that flavor right,
- 1:02:52Speaker 5: you know, different product the hauling. But it's crispy, kind
- 1:02:58Speaker 5: of feeling like a rice crispy, like a rice, not
- 1:03:02Speaker 5: like a rice crispy, but like it's stringy crispy. And
- 1:03:05Speaker 5: I forget what they call it, but those two are
- 1:03:08Speaker 5: what make it very expensive.
- 1:03:12Speaker 4: I think when you want chocolate, Beljium, Swiss, all that stuff, right,
- 1:03:17Speaker 4: that's stick to the you know, tried and true.
- 1:03:20Speaker 5: Yeah, but I mean my wife and Isaac love it.
- 1:03:23Speaker 5: They they make they make their own and they love it.
- 1:03:27Speaker 5: Where I'm like, we're having we're having problems with the levels.
- 1:03:31Speaker 5: Are you watching the levels? John says Tiger that you
- 1:03:33Speaker 5: need to either speak up or hold the mic closer.
- 1:03:36Speaker 3: I keep moving her.
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: Probably it's definitely in rod side too, So sorry, is
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: that your mic there? How about that?
- 1:03:46Speaker 3: Did you did you push that down?
- 1:03:48Speaker 2: No?
- 1:03:49Speaker 3: You did one time when I was looking, didn't you.
- 1:03:51Speaker 2: Don't argue in front of our listeners and our viewers.
- 1:03:54Speaker 2: You were like, you just be quiet, don't air our
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: dirty laundry. You know.
- 1:03:58Speaker 4: John said that the ivy, his Boston ivy, goes dormant
- 1:04:03Speaker 4: in the winter, and wanted to know about Evergreen, So well,
- 1:04:05Speaker 4: everything we were talking about was ever Yeah, and there
- 1:04:08Speaker 4: are Evergreen ivy too, but they they're all the gonna
- 1:04:11Speaker 4: do the same thing.
- 1:04:13Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, which, you know, it's funny.
- 1:04:15Speaker 4: I like your idea of the the screws or the
- 1:04:18Speaker 4: nails or something.
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: I'm running wires in before because your reaction was like really, yeah,
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: I can tell you like that. You've been thinking about
- 1:04:25Speaker 2: that since he said that.
- 1:04:26Speaker 5: Well, you know, and it's funny John mentioned because that's
- 1:04:30Speaker 5: the you know, we talk about it basic fast point
- 1:04:33Speaker 5: that's sometimes living in it is where things do die, right,
- 1:04:39Speaker 5: is because you have a reset button.
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: Yes you have true right.
- 1:04:42Speaker 5: Yes, Boston ivy here does go dormant, but it goes
- 1:04:47Speaker 5: dormant to the point where just doesn't look good, not
- 1:04:50Speaker 5: so much like a real well, it does lose most
- 1:04:53Speaker 5: of us kind of ugly. Yeah, weed is growing on
- 1:04:58Speaker 5: your We're there. They actually dormy. Yeah, any other day.
- 1:05:06Speaker 4: Well, Dana is sticking up for you. She said, you
- 1:05:08Speaker 4: sound fine.
- 1:05:10Speaker 3: Got my back today.
- 1:05:12Speaker 2: You know, everybody's got a different device that they listened
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: to us on, and so yeah, it's it's hard to
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: synchronize everybody.
- 1:05:20Speaker 4: You're getting cramped from holding your mic. Carlos concerned about you, me,
- 1:05:24Speaker 4: all of us.
- 1:05:25Speaker 2: I'm just it's just a chili. I'm just like you know.
- 1:05:28Speaker 2: That's why I've brought a long slee shure not one
- 1:05:30Speaker 2: in the car too. I didn't think I need it,
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: you know. Well, ever, I'm thinking about technically if we can.
- 1:05:36Speaker 2: I've got an idea if if we if we can
- 1:05:40Speaker 2: put a limiture on this color.
- 1:05:42Speaker 4: Wants to know about a good alternative for Pete moss
- 1:05:46Speaker 4: to uh, if you're playing camellias in a pot.
- 1:05:49Speaker 3: Would kor be the same, because wouldn't be the same.
- 1:05:54Speaker 4: I would just you could buy an acid mix which
- 1:05:58Speaker 4: rather than using straight pa I don't think I would
- 1:06:01Speaker 4: use straight people muss anyway. Wouldn't you rather mix it
- 1:06:04Speaker 4: with something?
- 1:06:05Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, way too.
- 1:06:09Speaker 4: So if you go to your garden center, local garden center,
- 1:06:12Speaker 4: Crowley should be able to buy any kind of acid
- 1:06:15Speaker 4: soil mix, usually say camellias and azaleas. You know, usually
- 1:06:19Speaker 4: throw us some rhododendrons too, right, even though we can't
- 1:06:22Speaker 4: grow the very well.
- 1:06:22Speaker 5: I love it, you know, you know, I mean we
- 1:06:25Speaker 5: talk about gardening. It's like they always market the most
- 1:06:29Speaker 5: tomato and roads. They put that on every package, every product.
- 1:06:33Speaker 5: There two most popular.
- 1:06:35Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:06:36Speaker 5: So the fact they put rhododendrons, I'm like, we're rhododendian
- 1:06:38Speaker 5: is popular because they're not popular here and even on
- 1:06:41Speaker 5: the goes, I feel they're not that popular.
- 1:06:43Speaker 4: They're pretty popular on the East and especially the Pacific Northwest.
- 1:06:47Speaker 4: There's rhododendrons everywhere. Yeah, but it enough to be putting
- 1:06:50Speaker 4: them on packages of everything. Oh yeah, more so than azaleas. Okay,
- 1:06:54Speaker 4: azelias don't really do well. And uh well, I guess
- 1:06:59Speaker 4: they should say that in some areas, the rhododendrons are
- 1:07:03Speaker 4: a little heartier, yeah than as alias.
- 1:07:05Speaker 3: I will say, though, you do have to in John
- 1:07:09Speaker 3: go to gardens for.
- 1:07:12Speaker 5: Because add a custom and hey, we need some more.
- 1:07:21Speaker 3: Acid mixed soil for you. I think we're planting.
- 1:07:26Speaker 5: And okay, Joes, hey there's nothing here that's really they
- 1:07:35Speaker 5: don't have a bag of planting mixed that it failed road.
- 1:07:44Speaker 3: I thought that was kind of like a standard well.
- 1:07:47Speaker 4: She said she's having trouble finding it, so it's easy
- 1:07:53Speaker 4: to take. What she's been doing is taking regular potting
- 1:07:56Speaker 4: soil and mixing it with peep moss.
- 1:08:00Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:08:00Speaker 5: I mean that's fine, that's great. Yeah, what else? There's
- 1:08:05Speaker 5: also UH fertilizers that they use to change.
- 1:08:09Speaker 4: The well, anything with sulfur in it. Okay, so that
- 1:08:15Speaker 4: if you want organic cotton seed meal, yeah, I don't
- 1:08:19Speaker 4: know if those are permanent though. If you want that,
- 1:08:22Speaker 4: I mean you can fertilize with those, and you should
- 1:08:25Speaker 4: fertilize with those products to keep. But the base of
- 1:08:29Speaker 4: the growing medium should be acidic.
- 1:08:34Speaker 3: That's going to make a big difference for them.
- 1:08:35Speaker 4: Yeah, and you can add some things like uh rather
- 1:08:40Speaker 4: than plain sulf where you can use iron stall fate.
- 1:08:43Speaker 3: I do see a big change in my guardania.
- 1:08:48Speaker 5: They will, they will over time kind of fade a bit,
- 1:08:52Speaker 5: and then the minute that I use and acid fertilizer
- 1:08:56Speaker 5: on them, it's a huge change. It's a big change. So,
- 1:09:00Speaker 5: like you said, you do need to use it. It's
- 1:09:02Speaker 5: not a forever.
- 1:09:03Speaker 4: In southern California, the soils are usually very alkaline, so
- 1:09:10Speaker 4: you need that acid mix. But in parts of the
- 1:09:13Speaker 4: Northwest and uh, back east they have acid soils, so
- 1:09:18Speaker 4: they do just fine. And some plants they actually have
- 1:09:21Speaker 4: to add lime. They have to take them to increase
- 1:09:25Speaker 4: or increase increase the pH.
- 1:09:28Speaker 5: So yeah, yeah, so if she's having trouble finding it
- 1:09:34Speaker 5: in uh, the only thing I would be careful with
- 1:09:36Speaker 5: in a potty mix because she said planting or potting,
- 1:09:39Speaker 5: like she's putting these in the ground in potts. So
- 1:09:42Speaker 5: with a potting soil with the pea is you know,
- 1:09:46Speaker 5: get a premium potting because if you buy the there's
- 1:09:50Speaker 5: a lot of sawdust they do. They use it as
- 1:09:53Speaker 5: a filler, as a filler, and and I think you'd
- 1:09:56Speaker 5: be better using a premium potty Kevin.
- 1:10:00Speaker 4: Kevin pointed out, you know you're talking about they always
- 1:10:02Speaker 4: include rhododendrons. Yeah, he says, in uh Cordelaine, it's rhododendron
- 1:10:07Speaker 4: and celia and dog with soil.
- 1:10:09Speaker 3: Oh that's true.
- 1:10:10Speaker 2: Right, Okay, we're gonna take a break. We've got one
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: more segment coming up after this as we close things
- 1:10:15Speaker 2: out Guard in America Broadcasting Life from Mission Hills Dressery.
- 1:10:18Speaker 2: We're gonna take a break for our friends and these messages.
- 1:10:20Speaker 2: Thank you Refertilum, our major sponsor. Back with this talk radio,
- 1:10:23Speaker 2: more messages and back to the Mission Hills for the afternoons. Okay,
- 1:11:02Speaker 2: we we've made it the last prolong the last segment.
- 1:11:05Speaker 2: If it's the broadcast in Mission Hill Ursionary Guard to America.
- 1:11:09Speaker 2: We're still on.
- 1:11:10Speaker 3: Not I was gonna say not to Jings. We're still
- 1:11:13Speaker 3: But I think this is the first complete show a
- 1:11:16Speaker 3: pretty long time.
- 1:11:17Speaker 2: Now it just goes to show we I mean and
- 1:11:19Speaker 2: Tiger getting you know, most of the credit. We have
- 1:11:22Speaker 2: worked on trying to figure out these bugs. There's so
- 1:11:25Speaker 2: many different ways to hook up. We're actually line of
- 1:11:28Speaker 2: sight with good WiFi. We have strong Wi Fi. Back
- 1:11:30Speaker 2: at the studio, it was always very temperamental. If I
- 1:11:33Speaker 2: took my phone and moved at six inches one way,
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: I had no connection.
- 1:11:36Speaker 4: Well, you know, practice makes perfect. What about if we
- 1:11:39Speaker 4: started doing a daily show. There's already a show called
- 1:11:43Speaker 4: the Daily Show, isn't there.
- 1:11:46Speaker 3: I don't think it's as popular as it used to be.
- 1:11:49Speaker 5: Yeah, but you know, and we've been changing things to
- 1:11:52Speaker 5: do things differently, right, so that way in the future
- 1:11:55Speaker 5: it will be it'll be better.
- 1:11:56Speaker 2: And now next week we're going to be at at
- 1:11:58Speaker 2: John's place. Right, we decided to Right, Okay.
- 1:12:01Speaker 4: Hey, Carla mentioned something and she's wasn't She didn't put
- 1:12:07Speaker 4: specifically what she was using, but she said she used
- 1:12:13Speaker 4: sulfur in the form of high hydrange of bluing additive,
- 1:12:18Speaker 4: and I wanted to make sure that it was.
- 1:12:22Speaker 3: Sulfur.
- 1:12:22Speaker 4: But usually if you have a hydrangea acid of fire,
- 1:12:27Speaker 4: the product is aluminum sulfate, and Carla, aluminum is poisonous
- 1:12:32Speaker 4: to plants. There's no reason to ever use aluminium sulfate
- 1:12:39Speaker 4: on anything, as far as I'm concerned. I don't know
- 1:12:42Speaker 4: what your thoughts are, Tiger, but the advertise it as
- 1:12:47Speaker 4: is the bluing well because it does acidify, But our
- 1:12:52Speaker 4: soils are already full of aluminum and you're adding more
- 1:12:54Speaker 4: and it's detrimental to plants. Now in hydrange is the
- 1:13:00Speaker 4: aluminum ion.
- 1:13:04Speaker 2: Let's see how I do this.
- 1:13:05Speaker 4: Okay, The aluminum ion does help to change the color
- 1:13:09Speaker 4: of the flower flower.
- 1:13:12Speaker 3: And pink to blue, that's what you're looking at, right.
- 1:13:15Speaker 4: But the aluminum already being in the soil, if you
- 1:13:21Speaker 4: acidify the soil, it releases the aluminium that's already there,
- 1:13:26Speaker 4: so you don't want to add More's the point.
- 1:13:28Speaker 3: The biggest thing is like what you're saying, it's not
- 1:13:30Speaker 3: necessarily that.
- 1:13:31Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean by adding too much aluminum, it's very
- 1:13:35Speaker 5: bad for the plant and very bad.
- 1:13:37Speaker 3: Right. All you need to do.
- 1:13:40Speaker 5: Is adjusted h right to make that available right, and
- 1:13:45Speaker 5: you'll be getting just the same results.
- 1:13:47Speaker 4: Right now, I'm thinking in a pot there may not
- 1:13:51Speaker 4: be the aluminum. If there would be in soil, so
- 1:13:55Speaker 4: you might be okay, it might not hurt yet. But
- 1:13:57Speaker 4: I did want to let people know just in general,
- 1:14:00Speaker 4: not good dad to the ground.
- 1:14:02Speaker 3: So in the ground, just getting.
- 1:14:06Speaker 5: Like for instance, if you have a blue asla, you
- 1:14:09Speaker 5: want to change it to pink, you you you know,
- 1:14:13Speaker 5: change the p and then go away. But if you
- 1:14:17Speaker 5: want to create pink or a blue, then make the
- 1:14:26Speaker 5: soil more acidic.
- 1:14:27Speaker 4: That what you said, right, If it's blue to begin with,
- 1:14:31Speaker 4: you can't. You can't a blue hydrange you will turn
- 1:14:36Speaker 4: pink and alkaline soil, right, But a pink hydrange is
- 1:14:39Speaker 4: always pink. It won't turn blue in acidic soil. There's
- 1:14:43Speaker 4: different varieties, there's pink varieties.
- 1:14:45Speaker 3: And whites are just white. Whites are just white. No change.
- 1:14:50Speaker 4: Now, some of the new whites have greens in them different.
- 1:14:53Speaker 3: Yeah. And there's a lot of hydrangers also that have
- 1:14:56Speaker 3: all kinds of crazy color combinations. Oh yeah, and white.
- 1:15:00Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:15:00Speaker 4: Isn't there one called kaleidoscope? Yeah, I love my dreams.
- 1:15:05Speaker 4: I'm also wanted to thank Carla for sending me a
- 1:15:09Speaker 4: nice note about the articles in the newsletter you really like.
- 1:15:13Speaker 2: Yeah, I know they're very well thought out. And you know,
- 1:15:15Speaker 2: if you can read the educational.
- 1:15:18Speaker 5: Even if you don't read, you could just have the
- 1:15:20Speaker 5: phone or tablet or whatever just dictate it.
- 1:15:23Speaker 2: To you exactly.
- 1:15:24Speaker 4: Well, now with the cartoons, you can just look at
- 1:15:26Speaker 4: the pictures, you.
- 1:15:27Speaker 2: Know what's going on.
- 1:15:29Speaker 4: Some people mentioned during the week that they found the
- 1:15:33Speaker 4: Garden America Radio show Instagram site, and they said that
- 1:15:38Speaker 4: it was great they could look at all the cartoons
- 1:15:41Speaker 4: right there.
- 1:15:42Speaker 2: So we have to promote Instagram, yeah, a little bit more.
- 1:15:45Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you know, we just started there.
- 1:15:47Speaker 4: I think there's a total of six people that already already.
- 1:15:51Speaker 4: I think so half a dozen. But anyway, it's kind
- 1:15:55Speaker 4: of fun, I said.
- 1:15:56Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:15:56Speaker 4: Honestly, I still don't get Instagram. I don't know what
- 1:16:00Speaker 4: it's just what it does.
- 1:16:01Speaker 2: It's you know what.
- 1:16:02Speaker 4: It's just another place to to get your social media. Hey,
- 1:16:07Speaker 4: Bill and Elaine and here in San Diego. Elaine is
- 1:16:13Speaker 4: the president of the uh San Diego Delia Society. And uh,
- 1:16:19Speaker 4: both of them are top notch rose growers.
- 1:16:23Speaker 2: Uh you mentioned this a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, yeah, and.
- 1:16:26Speaker 4: Bill and they they win trophies and shows all the time,
- 1:16:30Speaker 4: and and uh, Bill likes all kinds of plants, collect
- 1:16:33Speaker 4: succulents and things. But anyway, he gave me a micro
- 1:16:37Speaker 4: mini rose called we and yes I did get it Bill.
- 1:16:42Speaker 3: That's very appropriately just w no no, oh u I French.
- 1:16:51Speaker 2: French.
- 1:16:52Speaker 3: And because the.
- 1:16:53Speaker 4: World's smallest rose is called c you know s I
- 1:16:58Speaker 4: and this one.
- 1:16:58Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:16:59Speaker 4: Paul Bart who bred the rose, thought he was being
- 1:17:02Speaker 4: clever and called this one week. But the reason Bill
- 1:17:06Speaker 4: was asking the question was he said, I gave it
- 1:17:09Speaker 4: to someone to give to you, and I was worried
- 1:17:11Speaker 4: he might keep it for himself. So no, the person
- 1:17:15Speaker 4: you gave it to, Bill did not keep it. And
- 1:17:17Speaker 4: he was very nice to give that to me, and
- 1:17:20Speaker 4: I appreciate it.
- 1:17:21Speaker 3: Are you sure they gave you the correction? Oh?
- 1:17:24Speaker 5: Yeah, this might be some of the day like oh,
- 1:17:26Speaker 5: I'm going to swap this one out for one of
- 1:17:27Speaker 5: my microommates.
- 1:17:29Speaker 4: If you saw it, you would know it was the
