• 1:26
  Speaker 2: John John wants to do the show from his suna.

  Speaker 2: I said, I don't think that.
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: You were worried about getting electrocuted.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: I'm not against it. I just don't think logistic.
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: For all the old movies where Alfred Hitchcock mainly somebody
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: would throw a toaster into the bathroom.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, doctor know before the GF.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I right, but but doctor knows that there's a scene
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: where he beats up this guy. Guy falls into the
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: falls into the bathtub and he throws an electric heater
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: in there, a little port double heat.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: Anyway, do you guys have a nice Christmas?
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: Quiet, beautiful peovil Weather.
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: I hope all our listeners had a nice Christmas.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, especially the people up north. I mean they've they've been,
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: they've been through some stuff.
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: We were supposed to get that down here. And we
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: had a nice rain, ye, not heavy at all.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: Christmas in wind, you know, a little wind.
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: I had rained four or five d four days, I
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: think four days, but never heavy.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: And you said not a lot of wind. We had
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: a wind. We probably had a lot of wind down
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: in the central Id at all, basically.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: And now we're sitting in the kitchen with a lot
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: of hot air. It's funny how that works, we do.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: But it keeps us warm.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: I had a weird phenomenon that I would like to
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: bring up regarding that storm. Though we planted some patio
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: some you know what a fifteen gallon patio tree is.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: These are rapul lipses, right, so they have a real
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: slender stem.
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: That was the ones I wanted you to get for
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: my house, and instead you got fifteen gallon bush rapillpses. Yeah,
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: patio trees. I wanted patio trees, but you got me bush.
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: But now I'm actually happy with the bushes. Yeah, okay,
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: majestic beauty.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: So yeah, and these ones were and actually they're twenty
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: four inch box.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Don't lose your train of thunt.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: Anyways, so patio tree rapullpses majestic beauty has a slender
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: stem foliage on top, right, it needs a steak. Yeah,
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: So we planted these downtown San Diego in a series
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: of planters in the on the sidewalk. Okay, I got
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: a call from our customer that after this wind a
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: series of them, the head snapped off. So they were steaked.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: They were you know, tied to the steak wind, but
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: at the last time mark snapped off. And so I'm like, wow,
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: like that's I mean, I understand patio trees tend to
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: be a little flimsy, right, you know, and they are
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: top heavy.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: There was a tree that blew down and killed somebody
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: here on Wednesday.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: There was a tree that blew down kills somebody. There's
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: a tree that you know, fell on a car, fell
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: on your house. There's a lot of a very severe
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: damage from that wind. Yeah, but it's also kind of
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: as it goes to show you people say that and
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: then they say things like, oh, the city doesn't manage
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: the trees, or oh, you know, they.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Weren't planted correctly. They should have known this was going
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: to happen.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: I would say, though, anybody that's kind of in an
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: area where they normally get weather. What happens is every
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: year trees get naturally trimmed, you know, because they have
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: storms and snow. We're here. A tree could go ten
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: years without it being naturally trimmed, meaning unless a arborous
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: climbs up in it and trims it, the tree never
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: really prunes itself. And so therefore when the storm does hit, yeah,
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: they're going to start shedding limbs, they're going to start snapping,
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: they're gonna start breaking.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Plus effect too, I think a lot it has to do.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: We get a lot of rain real quick. It wasn't
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: a slow wind, yeah, but the wind. But I'm saying
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: as far as trees being uprooted sometimes when they fall over,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: besides the wind, you know, if you get a lot
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: of rain, the all that moisture you know, seeks in,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: then that can contribute as well, and then you had
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: the wind to it.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that is true.
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: So you know what usually follows this weather is rain.
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: This time of year is you get the clear nights
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: and then cold holds very cold. Yes, it was chilly
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: today forty six when I came.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because wasn't it weird and you probably didn't witness this,
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: but Brian probably did. So this storm came from the south.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: Right, so they're the most intense usually.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: Well, what I'm getting at is that's warm wind. Though.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: It was really warm.
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I went out and really warm. I told my wife,
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: I said, you want to see Florida come on out here?
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, right, it was really warm the day before when
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: it was kind of pushing right, and then you know,
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: obviously the storm hits and now it's cooling off. Yeah,
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: but it was really warm.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Your backyard survived. I don't see the uprooted trees or
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: did anything get blown over at all.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: No, just a lot of leaves and wind, a lot
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: of leads.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: I went outside the next day on Thursday, front door, like,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: where did these leaves come from? Because I don't know
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: of any tree or plant around here where we have
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: leaves like that. Yeah, so I just swept everything up
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: and looked around and thought, well, came from someplace. You
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: know the answer to that is blowing in the wind. Right,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: then wind's another one tiger very good.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: Tanya said she experienced the hardest rain she's ever had
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: in San Jose. Wow, this is passing on really.
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: Now there's another storm coming in this coming week? Is
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: that coming from the north? Another this one?
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: So when I living it on the radar.
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: Starts like Wednesday, right, Yeah, this.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: Is all part of this whole same kind of like
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: atmospheric river. That's kind of funny, right right. So this
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: one that we had this week is the same system,
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: but it was very south. Now it is moved up,
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: so even even though it's still coming kind of from
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: south to north, it's it's actually bringing that northern air
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: with it. So now it is going to be colder
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: than this last one that that was weird. What day
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: didn't start raining Thursday?
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: Well Wednesday with us on Christmas Day?
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: No it started No, it didn't rain on Christmas Day.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: It started rain on Tuesday.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: But we had the brunt of the rain in our
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: area was Christmas.
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: It came down hard, any rain, so we had we
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: had really we had full sun on Christmas, had.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: A beautiful day. It was it was you work from home,
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: you got your days mixed up? No, we were.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: We went to service that day. We were on the freeway.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Really yes, that's why when I came down here this
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: morning and I said, uh boy, it's wet did it
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: rain here recently?
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: And you not that I know of.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: It wasn't wet at our place at all. I guess
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: we have microclimates. That's what we're getting to, right You
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: have pockets of areas where you know, the next door
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: neighbor says, hey, it's sunny, and you say, well, I
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: got a lot of rain over here.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: I think you drove through like a movie set and
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: they had like a rain scene. Because I don't know
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: talking about.
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: But I think Brian's doing localized climate change.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: But I've learned not to argue with you guys.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: We had that really warm weather and wind, Tuesday was
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: rain and so.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: So you had no rain on Christmas?
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: I don't think.
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: No, it was sunny rain on.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Okay, you know what Dana is actually watching and tuned
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: in right now. I need some support, Dane, I'm getting
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: you know, these guys are piling on top of me here.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: I need some support. But nevertheless, we need to look forward,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: not backwards. And John says, John says rain next week Wednesday.
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, for like another four or five days.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Supposedly, this is a normal San Diego where every
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: day is like thirty percent that's basically our weather people
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: just saying there's a chance we're gonna throw it out there, right,
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: We'll see what happens. We'll see what happens every day.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: You know what, the easiest job in the world is
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: being a weather person in San Diego. What's the weather like?
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Look outside? If you don't like it, look outside in
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: twenty minutes.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Night in morning, low clouds.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Night morning, low clouds and slog otherwise mostly son and
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: we used to have.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: A somewhere between seventy and seventy.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Five a basic weather forecast when I was when I
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: was on the air. Night in morning, low clouds and fog.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Otherwise mostly sunny, highs. Today sixty five loves to night
• 9:21

• 9:22
  Speaker 5: Hey, I always wondering, is my pink trumpet tree tababuya? Yeah,
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: is blooming now? You said early? It seems early.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: It seems very early because normally has it been that
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: beautiful weather.
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: That you have of there early because usually it's what
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: mid January?
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: On yeah, I mean just earlier a month early. You
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: know my.

  Speaker 5: Pear pirates Kawakami.

• 9:56
  Speaker 4: it's full foliage right now. It's just now turning right,
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: And so usually I was gonna say that Tababoo is
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: kind of like align with that where they it loses
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: its leaves in like January or so, and then they
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: begin to flower in February your should.
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: Be and it has not lost its sleeves.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: That's so it's all mixed up, right. I wonder if

  Speaker 5: So did you break any New Year's resolutions?
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: I don't make New Year's resolutions for that very same reason.
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: Because your break up.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: No, I just I never have. I don't that's pressure.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: If I decide to do something, I'm just gonna do it.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: It could be it could be March seventh, and I
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: decided to do something I've never looked at. The New
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Years is a fresh start in that regard.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: It's you know, I wonder where this whole New year
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: resolution thing came about, because, like you're saying, it's, oh,
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: it's a new year. It's an opportunity to restart things right,
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: And it's kind of like sometimes you know, spring, let's
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: talk about it spring, Okay, And when it comes to gardening,
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: you know Mother's Day on the East coast. Oh, that's
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: the first day you can start.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: Right, that's weather related, right, right, Okay.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: Okay, So you know obviously there's things like you're saying,
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: weather related, plant related, time, all that, that you can
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: only do certain things at a certain time. You can
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: only starting after a frost or or you know, before
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: it gets too hot or before it gets too cold.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: I kind of feel like you can, like you say,
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: you can kind of start anytime. Yeah, you know, you
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: get you you know, if if you want to get healthy,
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: you can do that in March. If you want to
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: stop you know, eating chocolate, you can do that in July.
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: It's psychological though, because you always put it off, right, Yeah,
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: you always intend to do something, so like dividing some vidioms.
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: You know, I intended to divide mine for like six
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: years before I finally brought him here and let you
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: do it.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I was the catalyst for it, right. Yeah.
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: The quote of the week, by the way, refers to
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: what you were talking about. And the quote was from
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: Mark Twain and he said, now is the accepted time
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: can begin paving hell with them as usual.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, straight to the point. Yeah, you know who loves
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: this time of year gym memberships?
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: Oh right, everybody by come on your first month of dollar. Yeah,

  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're going to keep coming.
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: Did you have you seen the ads where there's an
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: app now that shows you what your subscriptions are. Yeah,
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: and you can cancel them from the app, ye, because
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: they'll the way the app or the ad goes is

  Speaker 5: they'll go up to someone, how many subscriptions do you have?
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: Three, and they'll show them the app to go You've
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: got nine?
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but don't you look at your monthly statement.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: See that's trust trust.
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: Carl. I had a good idea for the newsletter for
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: this week. She said, I should have saved it for
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: April fools.
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: That is a good idea. Well that's funny. But are
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: you back to.
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: Back in business at Mission Hills Nursery.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: We are back in business as a nursery, not as
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: a Christmas tree lot.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw your Christmas tree out in the front.
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, ready to take it to get recycling bagged and
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: ready to go?
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: Is the area where the Christmas trees were filled back up?
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: Not yet?
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: How long does that take?
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: Well, this year we have a little bit something different.
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: So we had the big shade structure and it's gotten
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: old and after that last windstorm you get a little
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: lean to it. So kind of a preventative measure, we
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: took it down and we're going to rebuild it. So
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: it's going to take us another week. So normally, like
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: you're saying, we would be filling it up right now
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: and kind of probably be full by this point in time.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: Did it have the capability of falling down on somebody?
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, definitely.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: Insurance company wouldn't take too kind of that way exactly.
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: The weather and you've you mentioned this before. A couple
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: of weeks ago that it's been really mild this year
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: for us. You know, we've had no really cold weather.
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: But usually, at least in past years, we would have
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: this rainy part of the year in January and sometimes February,
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: and then it would get really cold afterwards, and you'd
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: even have a frost. And I remembered everybody always wanted
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: to be the first people to bring in hibiscus in
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: Bogan Villa, in marigolds, petunias, and then they freeze. Yeah,
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: So I guess the reason I'm bringing it up is
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: I know a lot of the box stores will bring
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: that in. We'll bring that stuff into and also right now,
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: tomatoes and peppers, and because there's no risk for them, Yeah,
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: no risk for them, but don't don't plant that stuff now.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: No, it's like you're saying, yeah, there's no risk for them, right,
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: they sell it. They sold it to you, right.
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: Our people in northern California know, But I'm thinking down
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: here in southern California where we rarely have a frost,
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: but the ground, even if we don't have a frost,
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: the ground is just too cold to grow that stuff.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: Did you know where my little spoon Tomato volunteer is
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: on the way down coming.
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, did you have that huge plant?
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Did you see it? Now? It's massive. So, I
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: mean it's that's southern California for us that we just
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: we just don't know. We just don't know our seats
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: and you know what, the plants don't know what they're doing.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: We may have a week or so of in the seventies, Yeah,
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: in January, February, March, whatever, and then people go, oh,
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: I think I will plant that tomato.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: I think I will.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: You know, it's a false sense of because it's going
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: to be cold again. Yeah, we did this. Not even
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: cold yet. No, it hasn't really started yet. But I
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: remember last year because you gave me a hard time
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: when I said we were in July, I think, and
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: I said something like, you know, it really hasn't gotten
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: that hot this summer yet here we are it's almost
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: August and it's not that hot. And then you said,
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: don't say that. Yeah, and sure enough August, September, October.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean, you know, John, you know you mentioned
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: you know, people go and buy those plants and they
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: they're unsuccessful, and they blame it on themselves like we're
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: talking about like they think it was something they did, like,
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: oh I didn't water enough, or I watered too much,
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: or oh I didn't provide enough something. No, no, no,
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: it's just a complete wrong time of year, you know.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: And that's where we were talking about, like with gardening,
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: you you have to wait for the right season because
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: it's it's impossible to grow. It's it's impossible to make
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: a a Dorman fruit tree have leaves in February.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: Is that like a waking a sleeping bear.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I've never woken one, have you haven't you? No,
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: it's a lot of fun, is good times it.
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: Joyce says that her tomato plant that gave her one
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: tomato in the summer is producing tomatoes.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I noticed the same thing, but you know, the
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: flavors not as good. No, because because of the cold weather. Yeah,
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: that's why you never put tomat in the refrigerator. It
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: just takes away the taste.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so Bland, Yeah, yeah, it's interesting. I'm did you
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: have any damage on your patio from this last one?
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: No damage plants this last one. No, Usually the wind
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: blows everything over.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: No, just a little bit of wind before we were
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: this one.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: And we had more. John said in the text we
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: had more rain this time.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we did. And did you have any damage? John?
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: Nothing, No, except for the strong winds, right, I had
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: a branch break off that don beya?
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: Oh really that's.
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: In the front, and then trying to think I had
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: a lot of pots blow over.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: But nothing but broke and damage wise plants.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: Hey it is. We're going to make a resolution right
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: now to take a break.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Let's do it, so break time for our friends on
• 19:50

• 20:34
  Speaker 5: Tiger Cheryl was agreeing with you. She volunteers this master
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: Gardner when she was She said that people would tell
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: her all the time that they had a black thumb,
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: and the reason was just what you were saying. They'll
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: buy something at a box store, thinking that the real
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: retailer knows this is time to plan it. Yeah, and
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: they take it home and it dies.
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, I hate this. You know, we do this
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: all the time, but I mean they even think sometimes
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: they bring in plants that shouldn't even be planted in
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: San Diego. Oh you know what I mean, Like like
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: you'll go in there and you'll be like, oh, what
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: do you mean they have dogwoods here, you know?
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: Or peonies?
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, Like what are you kidding?
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: Some of the conifers that don't throw here.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: Veronica says that her son gave her some Verida flora,
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: tulip bulbs, alium ping pong balls, and a giant alam
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: pinballs spring valley. Right, John, No, this is Victoria you're
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: thinking of Veronica?
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: So I thought you said Victoria.
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: I don't know that's what I was gonna ask.
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: I love if she's in San Diego. I've tried the alleo.
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they're just not going to grow. Same thing on
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: the tulips. So so it would be nice to know,
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: but she could be in a.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: Cold where they would thrive because because uh, Victoria aliums
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: are one of my you know faves for sure. They
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: have so many varieties, different looking ones, the ones well
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: it's again not even a nemesis, and just it's an
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: impossibility for southern California to grow them here. You know,
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: it's just not going to happen.
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: So hey, we're gonna have to move our buddy, John
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: from Southland SODH said that the right plan in the
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: right spot is ninety five percent in determining success and
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: the timing right timing.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: The reason I bring it up is because I think
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: you're finally going to put some sod into my house
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: right in.
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: A couple of weeks exactly, it'll start absorbing that water
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: real quick before they're nice, nice grain area.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: When you walk out there, where are you putting the sod?
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: You know, right off the front in the back, off
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: of his patio?
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: So what type am I gonna use?
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: So?
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: I think I don't want the I don't know if
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: they still have that. I don't know what they call the.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: Triple dwarf now, but marathon three, yeah, yeah, no Marathon two,
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: and then there's marathon one. So the rate of growth
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: is the rate of growth in height is the difference
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: between the numbers. Yeah, so marathon one is like the
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: standard fescue, and you know you have to mow it
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: more often, maybe two, right, I think too, you know
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: it really going to be right? Well yeah, but like
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: it really has.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: To do with like but what.
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: So every two weeks would be okay for marathon too, Yes, okay.
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: But but I'm concerned with rabbits.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: I like foot traffic and recovery.
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, so far no rabbits.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so I mean that's what I'm saying. If you
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: have no rabbits, I'd say marathon two is gonna be great.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: But if you have rabbits, I would almost be concerned
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: and say almost marathon.
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: I usually don't have rabbits for long. If I do
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: have them, you can get rid of them, and.
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: So, you know, and you want to fescue lawn versus
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: some kind of like bermuda or anything like that.
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: Right, Oh, Victoria was Oh, I'm changing the subject really quick.
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: Just because Victoria popped up she's an ocean side. No,
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: I don't think that those bults are going to work
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: for you, Victoria. However, if you refrigerate them before you play. Yeah,
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: I don't know about the aliums. Maybe I don't know.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: Aren't you supposed to aren't you supposed.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: To do that?
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: You tried, you refrigerated your sen It didn't work. Yeah,
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: well who knows. You can.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Like most of us, all three of us, at one
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: time or another, they said it couldn't be done.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: I really all do it.
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: I think I spent like forty dollars in aliums, you know,
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: just to try it.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: You know what try it?
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: Did you do that? After we went to England?
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, at the Hampton.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: He was thinking about on the plane ride home.
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: Well, they had a booth that was only aliums, right spectacular.
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's really cool, really cool stuff.
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: And that was the reason I got to the Brunswigia. Yeah,
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: because that's it's as close to an alien bloom as
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: you could find.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, thats what we can't do here.
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: You just didn't know you had to wait ten years
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: to get a.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: But it's but they grow so easily, which is nice.
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: At least I don't it's not hard to grow. I
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: don't have to dig it up and refrigerate it or
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: give it special food or anything.
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: Now, Rochelle says that she planted two Alims after that
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: tripp thing. Nice and she said they were multiplied. They've
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: multiplied and they're doing well.
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: Oh good for her.
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: But she's in Blossomed Valley. It's a little colder.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Blossom Valley. How okay, Yeah, she's always no
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: matter what, it's eastern, probably cooler.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: So when you had your store in Alpine, yeah, perhaps
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: you give people a little different direction in terms of
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: what they may be able to do because it gets cold.
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, we had all kinds of really cool
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: stuff in Alpine because you know, Alpine, the city of
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: Alpine would get snow what once every ten years yea.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: And then you drive maybe a little bit fifteen minutes.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: East and you're in the st snow, you know, so you.
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: Know, much different environment. Yeah for them. You know, they
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: can grow some really neat stuff that does go fully
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: dorm it. You know, they were growing like really neat
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: cherries and stuff up there. Too.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Had lived in Nowplane for a couple of years. We
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: had a cherry tree. Yeah, it was on the property
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: when we bought it. So for your time I see
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: the wheels turning over there, it's going.
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: I was just thinking about for a while here in
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: San Diego County, they were bringing in weeping cherries. Yeah,
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: and they just didn't do well here, not even the.
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: Like you're saying. They were just flowering. Yeah, they weren't
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: even fruiting, right, just they just yeah right over a while.
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: But my daughter planted one when she lived in Temecula
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: and it did well there because of the cold winters.
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: I guess, you know, that is some of the weird stuff,
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: right that you think about, because you know, one of
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: my favorite trees is the Japanese maple, and they just
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: don't do well here in southern California, San Diego specifically.
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: You know, we can talk about the water, we can
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: talk about the weather, but you know, you can go
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: to Temecula, you can go to Fresno, you know, in
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: some of those areas and get even hotter, but they
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: also get the colder and those those do beautifully up there,
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: you know. They It's just it's just different, just a
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: little different, yeah.
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: Linda says Linda, and Redding says. Aliums and are on
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: her wish list. But they should be fine, right, yeah, cold, yeah, yeah,
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: unless it's too hot.
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: Well, but then you can always get away with putting
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: them in an area that maybe is a little protected
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: part shape.
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: Part shape.
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know. That depends on how long it's going
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: to take them to grow to bloom, right, if you
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: can get them before it gets too hot.
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: Right right. I know in in San Diego, even when
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: you would refrigerate tulips, they would recommend planting them in
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: the shade because the hot even if they did bloom,
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: hot sun would you know, knock the blooms out in
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: two or three days, Yeah, because you can always get
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: that hot weather.
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you know. And another thing that's happening right now,
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: especially especially in southern California with all of our water
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: restrictions and changes in how we water is you know,
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: the plants that are accustomed to like a rainfall water.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: You know, plants that are accustomed to being washed off,
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: and you know they absorb water through the foliage, right,
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: you know, when they collect it on the foliage, it
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: directs it right down to the base of part of
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: the plant. Well, we've switched to drip and you know
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: all these other systems of watering, right, so the plants
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: don't respond well to that. You know. Sometimes they'll grow
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: for two or three years just fine, and then all
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: of a sudden you go out there it's dead, and
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: it's because it's in long term. It didn't like that
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: style of watering.
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: Succulents and cactus love the winter rain. Yeah, you know

  Speaker 4: So on a on a succulent that's blooming through the wintertime.
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: The reason why it's blooming to get pollinated? What is
• 29:11

  Speaker 4: Yeah, because we love to be able to answer people's
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: questions hopefully solve problems. But one of the things we
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: were just talking about in the show is a lot
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: of things garden related are also weather or location related, right,
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: so please include your your city that you live in,
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: just so that way it helps us determine the climate,
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: whether you'll be successful, whether you not be successful, or
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: or just a few other things about it. You know,
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: going into this week from San Diego, it's so funny
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: how a week ago they were talking about that storm,
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: that storm, that storm pushing in a week ago was
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: it was going to be a big one. We needed
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: to be ready.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: We've got very little ring and very very little ring, right.
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: And this storm they didn't build it up. They didn't
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: touch on it at all. They never they were like, oh,
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: we're gonna have some rain. We're gonna maybe maybe maybe
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: maybe hit dumped on us.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's still supposed to dump the next two
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: or three well days, right.
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: You said Brian was saying under promise and over delivery.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: That's right, exactly, So who knows.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: So what what I was getting at though, with you know,
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: looking at the weather, though, I will say for anybody
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: in the southern California area, I would say you're pretty
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: safe to turn off your engaging system for about a month.
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: We are wet right all and it hit a large
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: area like this is. Sometimes we get rain and it's like, oh,
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: it just hit the inland right.
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: Not for containers though, oh yeah.
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: Not ri containers, not veg containers, but in the ground
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: you can turn up and then you know John coming,
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: Not you, John, but the John that joint was joining
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: from Southland sod. You know, people don't think about that,
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: but this is a great time to let that those
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: saw that grassroots really drive into the soil deeply, so
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: you do want to let them not get supplemental water
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: so that way the roots go and tap into that
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: nice damp soil about a foot or two down, because
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: that's gonna make the grass strong later on. You know
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: where if you keep watering it right now, the roots
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: won't go down very far and then it's shallow roots
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: and you know your grass later on will drowt much easier.
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: So hey, quickly back to the we were talking about Hollywood.
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: Uh uh.
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: Your friend Perry says that Alice Cooper started a campaign
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: to renovate the sign.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: That was Alice Cooper. Remember I said, somebody, don't Alice Cooper? No,
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: Alice Cooper.
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: Isn't that who's Alice Cooper? You'd come singer?
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this singer isn't that Alice in chains? No, that's
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: completely different.
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: Alice Cooper is.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: Alice Cooper with a black makeup?
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: Who was that kiss?
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: No?
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: Which band?
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: Can we stop?
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: Pause?
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: Aren't they Alice Cooper?
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: He's just Alice Cooper.
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: He's in a band.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: Well, he has a band, but he's Alice Cooper. It's
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: not like there's the name of the band. Go ahead,
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: look it up.
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: Are you using the right pronoun? I'm using an anti
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: pro Now you're anti Now.
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: There he is right there Americans and raspy voice. Let's
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: see poison schools out that it's just Alice Cooper.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, basically it's a whole show. He's got guillotines and
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: and all these weird things.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: It's it's I knew who he was. You know he
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: was in a band.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: Do you know who he was good friends with back
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: in the early seventies is Groucho Marx. And you know
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: you think that's random. Groucho recognized for what he did.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: Know that Groucho Marx recognized at what he did was
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: kind of vaudevillian, kind of vaudeville. Yeah, and he, believe
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: it or not, at his age, kind of dug what
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: he was doing. I got another Alice Cooper story, but
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: I know this is the Garden Show.
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: Tanya brings up a good question. She says, the newsletter
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: said to prune roses in January. Does that also apply
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: to iceberg rosses?
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: Well, remember the newsletter also said we were off the rink.
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: She said, HER's still leaves and a couple of flowers.
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: Should she wait to prune? You know, you can wait
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: a few weeks if you want, but really, I've prune
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: two hundred roses this last week, so fifteen hundred more
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: Togo and I'll be done. But yeah, now's the time,
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: and San Diego especially, maybe not so much up in
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: San Jose, but you know, because it does get a
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: little cooler sometimes. But they've had mild weather too, so
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: the roses haven't gone dormant, so you kind of have
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: to force them, just cut them back.
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: Why not, it's not going to hurt it, right, Like, well.
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: You've got to do it sometimes.
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: Well, that's what I'm getting at though, is like it's
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: there's no negative to cutting them back now to waiting
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: or waiting a month. But if you do wait too long,
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: Let's say you waited until March and you didn't cut
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: it back, and then you cut it back in March,
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: what's going to be the negative effect.
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: Well, you'll be way behind. And I mean you're gonna
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: if you wait till March, you're going to have new
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: growth everywhere, right, and then there's really nowhere to prone
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: because all that growth is going to be setting buds.
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: Now you're going to cut it back, and you know,
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: then delaying the bloom till hot weather so not good.
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: So that's what I'm saying. There's really no harm in
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: doing it now or in the next few weeks, but
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: if you do wait too long, right, then you can
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: get some harm.
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: Now, some people, you know, this, this is just debatable,
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: you know, when it comes to roses, everybody, everybody has
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: their own way of growing roses, and they say that
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: their ideas are the best. Some people do say that
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: if you cut back in January and we have warm weather,
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: the roses start to grow and then it gets cold
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: again and they're going to be more susceptible to diseases
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: because you got new foliage susceptible to rust and mildew
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: and black spot. So they're saying if you wait till February,
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: maybe mid February, when the weather begins to warm up,
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: that then when the new growth starts, you'll have less disease.
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: Gotcha.
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: But if you have a lot of roses, you can't
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: just can't wait that long because you'll never get them done.
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: Speaking of roses and disease, you with all your roses,
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: what do you do with your rose clippings? You just
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: throw them down into a big pit somewhere on the property.
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: Do you not put them in the recycle?
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: You put them in your green bin and just they
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: take it away, right, Because that is something people do
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: need to consider too, is that if they've had very
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: big problems with disease on the roses and they don't
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: do cutting and they lay all that mulch on the
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: ground around the base of the plant, all the dead leaves, yeah,
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: they're kind of perpetuating the problem. Right.
• 38:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there are overwintering diseases that can stay on the leaves.
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: So if you clean up when you cut back, that's
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: another reason to cut back to you can pull off
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: all the old leaves that are going to be harboring
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: the diseases that are still on the plant. Yeah, so
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: if you for hybrid t' is usually cut back like, oh,
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: twelve to eighteen inches knee high is a good way
• 39:08
  Speaker 5: to measure, depending on how tall your knees are. But
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: that's that's a good rule of thumb for pruning hybrid
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: tea roses.
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: I just play it safe and I just never prun it.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, why not roses that grow in the wild. But
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: who pruns those roses? Cemoratory and roses?
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: John, Hey, it's break time.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: Well, good morning once again, or perhaps good afternoon, good midday,
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: good evening. Hello, we're back in his guard in America.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: If you are tuned in on bistalk Radio, this would
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: be our number two and again Facebook Live. It's all
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: one big happy show. Thank you for joining us. We
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: took our little intermission break. We are back on Facebook now.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: Later on this afternoon we will be on YouTube. Go
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: to our YouTube channel, guard to America or radio show
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: and there you go a lot of good questions comments,
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: John our number one. If we want to go by
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: bis talk radio.
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: You know, Carla brought up a point, and I want
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: to know if John runs into.
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: This, don't do a lot of things.
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: Do you do you do you have a well or
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: do you know? Okay, so she brought up the point.
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: She says, I haven't had my water on. I haven't
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: watered for two months, and our water bill is the
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: same as it was in the summertime. I mean, number one,
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: water rates are changing.
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: Right, but like it's like the gas company, you.
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: Water substantial amounts. So do you notice it on your
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: bill when you.
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: Don't water it's almost half?
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: So like right now, it's almost half.
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: It goes from one thousand a month to five hundred
• 41:03
  Speaker 5: a month, So you do notice it? Yeah, okay, it's
• 41:06
  Speaker 5: a big actually big amount to be technically correct. My
• 41:10
  Speaker 5: wife notices.
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: You have no clue.
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: You notice how one thousand dollars nowadays is like nothing now?
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean it is, but no, but so so, now,
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: how much are you watering? Because we talk about this
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: in the summertime, you're watering daily if not sometimes.
• 41:28
  Speaker 5: Right, I have the water turned off, so.
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: You haven't watered your roses.
• 41:35
  Speaker 5: The water's been turned off for about a month.
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: But what about like and you haven't manually watered the
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: roses no for about a month, right, so you could
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: argue to Shadling, you're spending five hundred dollars a month
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: on water in the house.
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: So we have two two houses. Also, oh yeah that's true.
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you gotta you gotta put a regulator down there
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: on the lower house. Like what's you guys got? It
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: has got to cut back.
• 42:03
  Speaker 5: But so much of the water bill is not actual water.
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: Right, you know, it's sewer right, like you know, because
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: you have to pay for the sewer right.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: It's like when you pay for shipping and handling. Yeah,
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: you know, I don't mind you shipping it. Why you're
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: handling it so much? Ship it to me?
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I noticed that at my house where I
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: can turn off the irrigation system, and I'm thinking, like, wow,
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: this is gonna make.
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: A big You're gonna save a lot of money.
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna save a lot of money. And I don't.
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: And I mean, I've got two kids. They're taking showers,
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: you know, they're running the sink frivolous you know, like
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: stuff like that. So the big thing that I notice
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: is the pool in the summertime when that evaporation every summer.
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: I go through this where I think there's a leak
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: in my pool because I'll go out there and I'll
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: fill it up, and then four days later I'll go
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: there it's down that much, like there's got to be
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: a leak.
• 42:56
  Speaker 5: I thought you had a pool cover.
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: I I to then I you lost interest. Well, it's
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: it's a hassle.
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: It's a hassle.
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: You know how when you're you're all gung ho to
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: do something and you're real disciplined for a month or
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: two or even a year, and you go and why
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: am I doing this?
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah? I didn't see the value in it.
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: Is it much easier just to fill it with water?
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's much easier to fill it with water. But
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: I didn't see the savings like number one in the
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: pool cover, I didn't see the evaporation decrease that much.
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: Is your gas and electric bill higher at this time
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: of year?
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: Uh no, because our heat does not work.
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing. We don't use heat. We just don't.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: And our bill is higher than it normally is last
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: couple of two or three months, and it's we're doing
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: the same things. Kind of getting back to the water bill,
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: our habits haven't changed, and yet the bills a couple
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: of hundred dollars more than it usually is.
• 43:50
  Speaker 5: Well, the reason our utility bills are so high is
• 43:53
  Speaker 5: because we don't have as many daycare centers is Minnesota?
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: How to get that one? Bingos zap.
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: All right, we've got a couple of guarding questions from
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: the last hour.
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: Okay, let's do it last hour questions.
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: Okay, here's a fun fact, Daisy wrote, the red admiral
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: is a butterfly native to sand the San Bruno Mountain
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: in Bay Area and pollinates the succulents in the wintertime.
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: That's cool because we were talking about what why are
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: the seculents blooming right now? You know what's pollinating them?
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: And we we know bees. There's a lot of bees
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: still out there and active, and she's saying that there's
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: also butterflies.
• 44:29
  Speaker 5: Well, there's a lot of winter blooming succulents that are
• 44:32
  Speaker 5: not native though, so I guess they could pollinate those,
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: but they wouldn't naturally do that, right, Yeah, and.
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: This might be only the native succulence to the San
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: Bruno Mountain the area, like you say, like.
• 44:47
  Speaker 5: There's jukkas and goves Govi's are only native to the
• 44:53
  Speaker 5: New World.
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: Did you know that?
• 44:55
  Speaker 5: No?
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: Not know that?
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, do now every day, Victoria asid. I think we
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: can answer this pretty quickly. John, just want to confirm
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: that the best time to plant bear root roses is now.
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: Right now.
• 45:10
  Speaker 5: And you know, here's a tip if you have you
• 45:14
  Speaker 5: ever heard of Francis Roses Tiger, Yes, okay, they're in Arizona,
• 45:20
  Speaker 5: right and they supply all the big box stores they have.
• 45:25
  Speaker 5: If you are a member of a rose society, you
• 45:31
  Speaker 5: can go to Francis Roses I think for the next
• 45:34
  Speaker 5: two weeks and get a fifteen percent discount on bear
• 45:39
  Speaker 5: root roses. And they have all the new roses out
• 45:42
  Speaker 5: of Europe that are not available at any garden centers
• 45:47
  Speaker 5: in the US or any home improvement stores.
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: Really.
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's.
• 45:53
  Speaker 5: Kind of neat if you want to know about They
• 45:56
  Speaker 5: do a pretty good job of describing the rose two
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: and nice pictures. But it Francis like the name, like
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: Francis Sinatra's Francis like the Pope and uh, and they're
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: they're normally a wholesale grower, but they've opened up a
• 46:16
  Speaker 5: retail online site which I cannot remember the name of
• 46:19
  Speaker 5: But if you just google Francis Roses you'll find I'll.
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: See if I can find it for you. So yeah,
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: so now is the best I mean, I would say
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: the other thing to do is I mean, now you're
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: is almost the only time you're gonna find a bear root,
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: especially in southern California, and in California because a lot
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: of the bear root began growing almost instantaneously that you well,
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: you will only find bear root maybe up until late February,
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: mid February, but after that they're they're in cans.
• 46:55
  Speaker 5: And the only reason you find them that late is
• 46:58
  Speaker 5: because they haven't sold yeah somewhere else.
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: Uh, Francisroses dot com.
• 47:06
  Speaker 5: Right, do you see their their website, it's two names,
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: two people's name, Somebody and somebody.
• 47:13
  Speaker 4: No, just as Francis Roses dot com wholesale. But that's
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: the only wholesale. Oh, here we go brands right, April
• 47:24
  Speaker 4: and Ashley.
• 47:24
  Speaker 5: That said April and Ashley. April and Ashley, And that's
• 47:29
  Speaker 5: their online site.
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: Okay, shop shop Rose Bushes.
• 47:34
  Speaker 5: April and Ashley. Yeah, and it's all the newest breeding.
• 47:37
  Speaker 5: It's some really fun stuff there, and they're kind of expensive.
• 47:41
  Speaker 5: That's why I'm thinking, if you can get fifteen percent off,
• 47:44
  Speaker 5: I might even go home and try it.
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: It's funny. Oh these are bouquets. I was like, Oh,
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: they're saying selling like bouquet roses, but maybe it's multiple
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: No they no, no, they also do cut flowers right right. Yeah.
• 48:01
  Speaker 5: Brian Tiger's or Carla said that she found this out
• 48:06
  Speaker 5: this just this week that if she stands on her head,
• 48:08
  Speaker 5: spins around three times and waves her arms, our show
• 48:12

• 48:17
  Speaker 2: But yeah, that we've been telling people how many months.
• 48:23
  Speaker 5: That we've been trying to tell Tiger.
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: To that's what I do. Yah?
• 48:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, can you at least try this Tiger.
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: Exactly? That's what I do to get his live.

• 48:49
  Speaker 4: There a comment on it? Like meaning somebody made a comment.
• 48:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I can't remember what it was.

  Speaker 3: All right, We're back. Let's do this, shall we.
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: We've got one, two, three more segments to go here,
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: plenty of time and again, we are for the most part,
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: caught up on the questions and comments, so chances are
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: if you give us a question or a comment, we're
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: gonna deal with it.
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 51:00
  Speaker 5: Veronica from Spring Valley just joined us, so she didn't
• 51:05
  Speaker 5: hear my apology at the beginning of the show. The
• 51:08
  Speaker 5: show the newsletter. Yeah yeah, she said she didn't even
• 51:12
  Speaker 5: look at us at eight because of that. But the
• 51:15
  Speaker 5: nice thing is that you can always go back and
• 51:18
  Speaker 5: watch the show right.
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: YouTube by this afternoon if you want. I mean, because
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: the YouTube is good because all the edits are made. Yeah,
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: there's no breaks. It goes from one segment.
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: To the other.
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: But you can do Facebook.
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: You could if you if you're patient.
• 51:30
  Speaker 5: You know, we were talking about the warm weather and
• 51:33
  Speaker 5: usually tropicals and subtropicals don't grow in the winter, right,
• 51:39
  Speaker 5: But I last summer I planted to mango and I
• 51:43
  Speaker 5: was looking at it yesterday and it's putting out all
• 51:45
  Speaker 5: new leaves, the first leaves since I planned it. Wow,
• 51:50
  Speaker 5: So I'm kind of wondering about that because if it
• 51:53
  Speaker 5: gets cold, Yeah, what's going to happen to those leaves.
• 51:55
  Speaker 5: I also planted a fiddle leaf fig did you Yeah?
• 52:00
  Speaker 5: I had one on my back patio and it fell
• 52:02
  Speaker 5: over probably fifty to one hundred times from the wind,
• 52:06
  Speaker 5: and I finally thought, I'm just gonna plant it.
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: Wow, that's you know, and you know, and people don't
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: think about that because they see it as a house plan, right,
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: But if you bring it outside and adapt it to
• 52:17
  Speaker 4: the outside area. No, it was fine. They grow great, Yeah,
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: almost too great. Pretty soon it'll be John's. It'll lea
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: fig home.
• 52:27
  Speaker 5: It does not grow as fast as big as a
• 52:30
  Speaker 5: banyon exactly, which I noticed. Put out a branch over
• 52:35
  Speaker 5: the winter so far that's four feet long.
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: I love how you're like, it's not just leaves, it's
• 52:39
  Speaker 4: a branch, it's a whole branch. It's a whole section
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: of trade. Yeah.
• 52:45
  Speaker 5: I like figs in general, Ficus in general. There's so
• 52:48
  Speaker 5: many different kinds. I visited a a member of the
• 52:54
  Speaker 5: Rose Society that lives in Ramona this week. I drops
• 53:00
  Speaker 5: and roses off that he had bought in the auction.
• 53:04
  Speaker 5: First of all, it was that I haven't been in
• 53:06
  Speaker 5: Ramona in maybe thirty years. Oh my gosh, it's huge.
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: Used to be like one intersection years ago, one stoplight.
• 53:15
  Speaker 5: It reminded me of Temecula, I mean heading in that direction.
• 53:19
  Speaker 5: But anyway, he has he has a really nice home
• 53:24
  Speaker 5: with a great view. I think he said he's on
• 53:27
  Speaker 5: thirteen or fourteen acres. And and why was I telling you.
• 53:33
  Speaker 4: This story because you're talking.
• 53:35
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, he has edible figs. Yeah, yeah, yeah, forty
• 53:39
  Speaker 5: different varieties really. Yeah, we talked about edible figs a
• 53:45
  Speaker 5: lot on our show. Yeah, and how you know that?
• 53:47
  Speaker 4: I really like packed ones. Yeah, you know, different verii,
• 53:49
  Speaker 4: different flavors, and.
• 53:52
  Speaker 5: The small ones were like what phignomenal?
• 53:54
  Speaker 4: Is that phenomenal? And little miss Viggie and yeah, but
• 53:58
  Speaker 4: I imagine out there in Ramona, which is you know, rural
• 54:01
  Speaker 4: East County, San Diego, they probably have a lot of
• 54:04
  Speaker 4: critters that love those figs, though, I mean they're.
• 54:06
  Speaker 5: Birds he has, well, birds is another thing he said
• 54:10
  Speaker 5: he has. He's a veterinarian.
• 54:14
  Speaker 4: Oh wow, but he likes birds.
• 54:15
  Speaker 5: And he's probably got fifteen different types of chickens and
• 54:20
  Speaker 5: each one is in a different pen, so he keeps
• 54:23
  Speaker 5: those separate. And then he's got cockatoos and two cans
• 54:31
  Speaker 5: really and EMUs.
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: Oh fun, and ems are fun if you know what
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: you're doing.
• 54:36
  Speaker 5: Well, you know, I said, you know to me. They
• 54:39
  Speaker 5: looked they had kind of an intelligent look about him,
• 54:42
  Speaker 5: And I said, isn't it Do they get a bad
• 54:45
  Speaker 5: rap for being stupid? And he says, oh, no, they're stupid.
• 54:48
  Speaker 5: And then I remembered we had visited an orchid grower
• 54:56
  Speaker 5: and he had this penn where the emu was and
• 55:03
  Speaker 5: he always had to keep the door open, and I said, well,
• 55:07
  Speaker 5: why do you have to keep it open? He said, oh,
• 55:10
  Speaker 5: if I closed it, it would just keep running into
• 55:12
  Speaker 5: the door to let n act itself out.
• 55:14
  Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, silly creatures.
• 55:16
  Speaker 5: They looked nice to me though, but he had about
• 55:19
  Speaker 5: ten of them.
• 55:20
  Speaker 4: This is a different because, I mean, you know the
• 55:23
  Speaker 4: figs you're talking about that this gentleman grew, I am
• 55:26
  Speaker 4: assuming are like you're saying, like the figs that we would.
• 55:30
  Speaker 5: Eat Ficus karaca, right, that humans.
• 55:33
  Speaker 4: Would eat normally. Right. But if you go to Morley Field,
• 55:38
  Speaker 4: which is in Balboa Park, Yeah, the zoo has a
• 55:41
  Speaker 4: partnership with the city and they planted oh close to
• 55:45
  Speaker 4: maybe thirty forty varieties of Ficus there. But these are
• 55:51
  Speaker 4: more figs that are more for like the ornamental well,
• 55:56
  Speaker 4: no for the the animals to eat, because there's because
• 56:02
  Speaker 4: there's still the fights. You know, then we would consider
• 56:04
  Speaker 4: them ornamental, but their fruit is what a whatever whatever
• 56:09
  Speaker 4: animal eats, right, Like, you know that have those fights
• 56:14
  Speaker 4: native to their regions because they need to have a
• 56:17
  Speaker 4: secure food because I mean, the zoo provides a lot
• 56:21
  Speaker 4: of their own food, but if that tree was to
• 56:23
  Speaker 4: die or they were to have a natural disaster, they
• 56:28
  Speaker 4: need to make sure they have resources that they can
• 56:30
  Speaker 4: tap into that are outside of their facilities. And so
• 56:33
  Speaker 4: they plant these ficus farms kind of all around San
• 56:36
  Speaker 4: Diego just in the case of they were to lose
• 56:40
  Speaker 4: their crop, they can go into Morley Field get some
• 56:44
  Speaker 4: of the food and stuff like that to sustain them.
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: I did not know that.
• 56:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's really neat, Like they have a good partnership
• 56:51
  Speaker 4: with all of San Diego and they they have these
• 56:53
  Speaker 4: areas where they grow certain plants in this situation that
• 56:58
  Speaker 4: there was ever a disaster at the zoo. Yeah, but
• 57:02
  Speaker 4: but there's a lot of fighters out there. Yeah, back
• 57:05
  Speaker 4: to your soon to be fighters home at John's. Well,
• 57:09
  Speaker 4: six months later, let's see if your home is still there.
• 57:11
  Speaker 5: I like all kinds of fighters, but I'm thinking maybe
• 57:14
  Speaker 5: putting in some more edible varieties. But the drawback is
• 57:18
  Speaker 5: that gophers love figs fig roots, not the fruit. I'd
• 57:25
  Speaker 5: be happy to share the fruit with them. I caught
• 57:27
  Speaker 5: three gophers last week. I think with the cold or
• 57:31
  Speaker 5: the wet weather softening the ground there become becoming braver.
• 57:37
  Speaker 4: Ye see. And that was the funny thing I remember,
• 57:39
  Speaker 4: you know, I mean you talked about like people all
• 57:41
  Speaker 4: have these theories. I remember somebody saying one time that
• 57:44
  Speaker 4: if you keep your new plants watered well, that because
• 57:50
  Speaker 4: the soil is wet, the gophers stay away from there.
• 57:53
  Speaker 5: I don't. I think it encourages them.
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: I think that they Yeah, you can get around his
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: crew there better.
• 58:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah. So yeah, I think that, you know, they're just
• 58:07
  Speaker 4: going to go where they want to go.
• 58:09
  Speaker 5: Veronica mentions that there's a a yellow Italian fig that
• 58:14
  Speaker 5: she says is so yummy. But I'm wondering if that's
• 58:17
  Speaker 5: white genoa or Codota's kind of yellowish too, right, But
• 58:25
  Speaker 5: but white genoa is a lighter fig. Yeah, there's some
• 58:32
  Speaker 5: really really good figs out there where.
• 58:35
  Speaker 4: I mean, is that more of a Mediterranean plant?
• 58:39
  Speaker 5: I think so? Yeah, I think so. And Italians, especially
• 58:47
  Speaker 5: planet figs, and one of the big things in Detroit
• 58:50
  Speaker 5: when I lived, there was people planning a fig tree
• 58:54
  Speaker 5: that they had brought over, maybe a cutting from Italy
• 58:58
  Speaker 5: or they had a friend here. And a lot of
• 59:01
  Speaker 5: figs are started from cuttings.
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: It is break time again, gentlemen. All right, moving right along,
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: two more segments after this one.
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: Do stay with us.
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: We're going to take a break and listen to these commercials.
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: If you're on biz talk radio, I'm going to thank you.
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: Refer to long our sponsor here on guard to Mary. Okay,
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: back from that break, as I mentioned that two more segments,
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: this would be the longer the next two coming up,
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: so still plenty of time to get involved in plenty
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: of time for more conversation, more stimulating talk radio.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 4: I mentioned this before and then I kind of want
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 4: to lead into another another subject. But we were talking
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 4: about figs before the break, and something that people don't
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 4: always recognize because figs have very large, usually thick, little
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 4: leathery leaves. Those leaves are edible. And I went to
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 4: a food event. I know that, Yeah, I.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 3: Didn't know that.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 5: I knew about Great Believes, but never figured.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Figured. And I went to an event a while
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 4: back and the person fried them so so they put
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 4: a little bit of batter on them, they fried them,
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 4: and then they use that as the like the chip
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 4: the serving right of what you know, whatever dip or
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 4: whatever they were they you know, made with it and
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 4: you so you bit into the fig leaf with this
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 4: like uh, you know, pure or whatever they had on.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 4: It was delicious.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 5: It was really good figs.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 3: But you scoffed, Brian, No, I think it would waken
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 3: your taste buds. I gotta.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 4: I got a question for you, Regard, because we were
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 4: talking about planting fruit trees. You know, we were talking
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 4: about roses, fruit trees this time of year and something
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 4: that you don't need, but some people that have smaller yards.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 4: Is that idea of putting multiple fruit trees in the
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 4: same hole, you know, right, we've talked about this before, right,
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 4: and how you can plant three or two like minded
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 4: trees in one hole, so that way you can get multiple,
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 4: multiple crops and different fruit in a small area. So, John,
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 4: do they all have to be an apple or do
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 4: they all have to be a pair, or.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 5: It's better if they are. And the reason is they
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 5: have like you said, like mind that that similar similar
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 5: growth habits. Right, So if you plant a peach with
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 5: a pear or an apple, you're gonna have all these
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 5: different types of growth. Yeah, so it's better if you're
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 5: going to plant three trees in one hole, plant three peaches,
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 5: for instance, with three different ripening dates.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 4: Seeing it in early mid and then like right, gotcha. Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 4: So a lot of people think that, oh, you know,
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 4: I only have room for one tree. What am I
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 4: going to plant? If you're looking at a stone fruit,
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 4: you actually have options there with you.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 5: Daisy said that she has to plant her fig trees
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 5: and gopher proof wire baskets. But it does help the
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 5: trees stay small. And then the birds eat all the fruit. Anyway,
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 5: It's like, go through all this trouble and what do
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 5: I get? The birds are happy.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 4: Now, the birds that eat it. I see a lot
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 4: of crows. I see a lot of crows going after figs,
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 4: you know, because I mean maybe just.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 3: Where we are in San Dieg, discerning taste.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but don't they eat anything.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but they're they're like, yeah, not picky, but they
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 3: know what's good. They know what they like.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 5: I think they know what you like and they eat
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 5: that first, that's probably true. Yeah, And then whatever's left over.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 5: They know no one else is going to eat it.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 5: I can eat that whenever I want, or.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 3: Just because you see when picking off roadkill, you know.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 5: Gross Cheryl on the Figs Tiger Cheryl said that you
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 5: can make tea from the dry leaves.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 4: Really, yeah, fig tea. I wonder what that would be like.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 5: She said, it's decent, which sounds to me like it's
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 5: horrible worth not worth trying.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 4: Right, So if I go to a tea shop and
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 4: I see big tea, I could I could pass.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: Well, you ask him say what's it taste like? And
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: the response is going to be it's.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 5: Different, It's decent.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 3: It's it's decent.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 5: But I think a lot of herbal teaser that way. Yeah,
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 5: you know, I mean you can drink them, but why
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 5: why I do? Like peppermint tea with honey.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 4: That's that's your go to tea right there. Well, what
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 4: is peppermint tea? Is it still a camellia leaf with
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 4: peppermint mint mixed into the blending? No?
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 5: No, no, it's just plain peppermint, dried peppermint mint.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and you just steep it steep water and then
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 4: that's your tea. And then you put a little.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 5: Bit if you put it one of the herbal tea
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 5: sections in the star peppermint. Peppermint the most common.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, that's your favor. Huh. Yeah, the lemon grass.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 4: I have a lemon grass out here. I love lemon
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 4: grass tea.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 5: Do you put honey in it?
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's good.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 5: I never rarely, I would say close to never eat honey.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 3: I take I take it to you spoon every morning
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 3: every morning.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 4: Which one, yeah, because that's you have to be specific.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 4: You don't just do any honey.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 3: Do you know it's raw honey?
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 4: I mean it's you buy like a local one or oh.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it comes from that country. Do you did
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: just if you'd stop by a fruit stand?
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 4: You do? You see? Because like that's the thing they
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 4: talk about, honey. You should buy local because it helps
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 4: you body be, you know, more resistant to what's.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: It's supposed to be good for a lot of a lot
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: of things. So you have been doing it for just
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: over a year every morning, it's a routine.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I think vinegar is supposed to work too. And
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 3: they say olive oil too.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 5: Olive oil, Yeah, olive oil is good.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 4: That's the question.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 5: I was just thinking of something though, people taking a
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 5: tea spoon every day of honey, you don't do bee pollen.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 5: Then another thing.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 4: That's again, if you get they say that with that
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 4: bee pallen that honey. If you get it local, you
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 4: will be more resistant to the natural allergens.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 3: In your in your area because.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 4: Your body builds up the natural resistance of those allergens
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 4: from you're at that local source stuff. Right, so you
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 4: know when you go outside, you're not gonna be oh,
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 4: I got you know, sinuses from grass or wherever it
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 4: is that you live, maybe cherry blossoms or whatever. But yeah,
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 4: so it's supposed to be really good for you. That's funny.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 4: That's I don't think I've ever met anybody that takes
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 4: honey every day.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, spooful every morning. I read up on a little bit.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: I said, I'm gonna give it a shot. I'm gonna
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: try it.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 4: And you like, I mean honestly, like it's good. So
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 4: it's not like you know, some of the stuff you take,
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 4: you're like, like olive oil, I'm not gonna shoot and
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 4: usually that's not good.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: Anything that sweet, it's not honey's not good for you.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 3: Of course, it's sure, we know that.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: But but but you're like, you're saying it is good
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: for you, but anything in moderation, Yeah, you're not drinking.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 3: No, I'm not doing a gallon of it.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 5: Carla also mentions that anything is good if you fry,
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 5: that is absolutely Hey, Victoria wants to know tiger. The
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 5: best way to grow lemon correct lemon grass. Her soil
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 5: is clay, so she puts a lot of things in pots.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 5: Would that grow in clay or would that have to
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 5: be in a pot too?
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 4: No? No, No, it grows. It grows really well in
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 4: almost you know, any wide variety of soils. The area
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 4: that I have is actually pretty heavy clay too, so
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 4: it grows just fine.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 5: But it doesn't doesn't it get big though.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 4: It does get big, but it's super easy to just
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 4: chop down and then you know, like pampuscrap exactly, but
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 4: it stays contained. It doesn't run. It's all grown plant.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 4: But I would say the only area you would want
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 4: to avoid is any kind of low lying area, because
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 4: I did find if it's roddy or it will rot
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 4: out real quick. So mine is situated on a slope
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 4: a little bit above the low lying area, so I
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 4: know that the roots aren't sitting in water too much,
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 4: because you know, you talk about clay, you talk about
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 4: oh well, it stays wet all the time, which is
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 4: not bad, but it doesn't like to be in a
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 4: bar situation. So if you if you have flat clay soil,
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 4: you might want to amend it with some some good
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 4: planting mix or something like that, just to prevent it
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 4: from being too too, too wet.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 5: Offen in Tangent real quick. Somebody sent me an email
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 5: this week and said that I was We were talking
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 5: about a short story contest that I was going to enter.
• 1:08:21

• 1:08:30
  Speaker 5: you just go to Master's Review you can see it.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 5: And I was telling Brian during the as as long
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 5: as you're less than six thousand words, you can enter.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 4: That's a short story. Six thousand words or less is
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 4: a short weld story.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 5: That's what it's called a short story contest.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 4: What is what is six thousand words? Give it to
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 4: me in pages, single space, chapter, single space, ten bons
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 4: or whatever.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 5: The pages wait single page, single space, single.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 3: Space said it was like a chapter.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 5: Well, I was thinking. I was thinking of double space.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 5: Gotcha six pages six pages short?
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 3: Huh yeah, I don't know. You can breeze through that.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 4: I remember I was talking with Isaac about writing essays
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 4: because he's getting to the point where I had to
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 4: start writing reports and stuff. He's ten. I'm like, oh, yeah,
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 4: in college you have to write, like you know, ten
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 4: page reports and essays.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 5: And when I was in college, I have to write
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 5: two page one Yeah, but they didn't have a We
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 5: had to write it ourselves.

  Speaker 2: Well, I actually had to go to the library. You
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: had to leave your house and get that library card.
• 1:09:35

• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: library card. And then when you're sixteen, I got my
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: driver's license, and then when you're in your sixties, I

• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: Yes, So don't don't plan it during an eclipse, right, correct,
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: because then it's just partial.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 4: So make sure you take off your left shoe.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and then then you'll catch our show. Veronica says
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 5: that she has a rose question. A few months ago,
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 5: she had a volunteer rose that came up fine and
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 5: it's got a huge, great smelling flour, but it's in
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 5: a broken pot. Can she move it to a better
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 5: pot now? Or wait till when no? Move it now? Yes,
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 5: cut it back, move it now, and and it should
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 5: bloom in April when everything else blooms.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 4: You know what. I was just looking at the rose
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 4: question reminded me of it, And if I disconnect one
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 4: of these cameras, maybe i'll show it because from here
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 4: you can see the Peggy Martin rose. Oh right here,
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 4: so you see it right there along that fence. Oh yeah, okay,
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 4: So I don't know if you can see the soil
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 4: below it. But I'm starting to create a path down
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 4: to this lower area, right and I have to cut
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 4: some of those roots of the Peggy Martin rose. And
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 4: I'm like, I'm not worried about it right now, because
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 4: you know, no, there's time, right, I could cut away
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 4: those roots and nothing's really going to be bad. But
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 4: did you know, and I'm sure you did, but that
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 4: that rose produces runners, Like there's plants that start from suckers.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 4: Suckers that start from that. And I was I was
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 4: down there, I was like digging, and I'm like, wait
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 4: a minute, this is a this is here's the plant,
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 4: and three feet away I'm digging and it's a new
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 4: rose from that one that is coming up.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a very tenacious row. I mean everything about
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: that rose screams try to kill me.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 5: I wish tiger would water it once in a.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 4: While, Right, it gets enough water from all this race.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 3: It looks like it's more underneath it. The ground looks moist.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 4: Well it's just inches yeah, yeah, but but yeah, so,
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 4: like you're saying with roses, right now, now is the
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 4: time to manhandle them. Do whatever you need to do,
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 4: you know, trim them, cut the roots, transplant them, because
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 4: it's almost like you can't go wrong because there should
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 4: be somewhat dormant and there's enough cool weather.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 5: Looking at this hill right here, I don't know what
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 5: you're gonna put there, but if you want roses, rugosa
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 5: roses would be good for that because they spread, you know,
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 5: by runners, and they they grow in sand.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 4: I'm going to actually terrace this. This is going to
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 4: be probably two three levels.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 3: That's very ambitious.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'm gonna do like some small fruit trees
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 4: and some plumerias down here.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 3: Who sees Nobody really sees what's going on back here.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 4: Unless you're gonna, well, we got to do show.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's good for the show.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 3: We can see what's going on.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 4: So hopefully by this summer I'll have it completely like
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 4: terraced and stuff. And then is that your property next store?
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 5: How come you have a gate to.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 4: It because in the past they stopped their gate a
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 4: little bit farther up the hill, so we had access
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 4: to the canyon. And then just recently they put that
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 4: other gate down there and they let the kids go
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 4: through there and then go through there to go to
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 4: the canyon if they want to.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 3: What's down there in.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 4: The canyon there's a creek at the very bottom, and
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 4: other than.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 3: That, it's just rabbits.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 5: Speaking of coyotes, rail Jesse my Son came over yesterday
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 5: and said that Kenna got up in the morning and
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 5: called him to come out, and she had looked out
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 5: the front door. She was going to let her dogs out,
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 5: and there was eleven coyotes. Eleven eleven coyotes.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 3: Where is this in Texas.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 5: No in my house in really yeah.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 2: Because I had asked you one time if you ever
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: saw any coyotes, and you said.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 5: You hadccasionally, but eleven eleven and by the time he
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 5: got out, he said he he saw him running away
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 5: and there was still like he saw four or five
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 5: towards the end of it.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: We've got coyotes too in our area, but I've never
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: seen one. Yeah, but the neighbors, the neighbors who won,
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 2: who walk their dogs and stuff, like in the morning early,
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: they say, yeah, coyotes are out.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 4: And you'll see one in your area.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah maybe yeah, right, like eleven. That's a gang.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, serious, it's some serious business.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 3: They have leather jackets on the gang, you know.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 5: The They have two dogs and one's a huge German
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 5: shepherd that's about ten times the size of any coyote,
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 5: and the other is a smaller German shepherd whose name
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 5: is Wiley. Beautiful, but Wiley was almost killed by a coyote. Jeez,
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 5: and two thousand and three thousand dollars later in veterinarian bills. Serious,
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 5: it's wild and but still alive and happy. I guess
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 5: Ronica likes your tear idea. Yeah, so it's gonna be nice.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 4: It's gonna be great. Really maximize the use of space
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 4: and plant stuff on there that I want to use,
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 4: and it'll be easy to get to and all that.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 3: So I like you could animals back there and bring
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 3: them in to eat.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but there it's you know, far in the back.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 4: It's not easy to get.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: What I'm saying is if you're if you grow something
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: that's not really I appealing, that it's more like something
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 2: that you would eat or something that's that you could
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: use for whatever, but.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 3: But not really eye catching. Back here, back here would
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 3: be the place.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, like that's where I'll put like an apricountry.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 4: I want an apricutree. Like apricots are great, just pick
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 4: off you eat. They're delicious, They're easy to grow.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 5: Here, and they're not easy to buy in the store.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 4: Right, and the ones you get in the store, they
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 4: will not compare to the ones that you can grow
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 4: your house. So you know, but you know, that'll be
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 4: an apricottree, and maybe a few other things like that.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 5: But you know, I'm fascinated with We've talked about this before,
• 1:18:01
