- 0:00Speaker 1: Welcome to Garden America, the country's most listened to gardening show,
- 0:04Speaker 1: where we talk about gardening, horticulture, landscaping, and more. In fact,

- 0:24Speaker 2: Garden America. I'm Brian Maine along with Tiger Palafox, and
- 0:27Speaker 2: we are broadcasting once again from Tiger's backyard actually underneath
- 0:31Speaker 2: his patio here from San Diego, California. And we're still good.
- 0:34Speaker 3: We're still good. Good.
- 0:35Speaker 2: Yes, be late than never those that have been waiting,
- 0:38Speaker 2: you know, since eight oh six. Again here we go
- 0:41Speaker 2: with a few little little glitches, as we like to
- 0:44Speaker 2: say in the business, and but here we are. We're
- 0:46Speaker 2: gonna we're gonna do this as long as we can.
- 0:47Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna hold it through to it as far
- 0:50Speaker 3: and as long as we can. We'll kind of try
- 0:52Speaker 3: to get as many questions answered for people right away
- 0:55Speaker 3: and just continue the show.
- 0:57Speaker 2: And I wish there was an answer you know, if
- 0:58Speaker 2: somebody says, well, what's the problem, it's very it varies.
- 1:02Speaker 2: There's various issues going on with so many technical aspects
- 1:05Speaker 2: of what we're doing here. But again, like you say,
- 1:09Speaker 2: we're gonna, we're gonna do it.
- 1:10Speaker 3: So the only person, the person that's not here though
- 1:13Speaker 3: today is John big NOAs.
- 1:15Speaker 2: He's in the lone star state of Texas.
- 1:17Speaker 3: Yeah, and we we thought he might call in all right.
- 1:20Speaker 3: We were hoping to try to get him on the
- 1:22Speaker 3: on the show. We'll see if we can connect it
- 1:24Speaker 3: because we would love to try to test the phone
- 1:26Speaker 3: system out for this new sea too.
- 1:28Speaker 2: Exactly. So John is there with family and they're having
- 1:31Speaker 2: a good time. They're gonna go watch a comedian and
- 1:33Speaker 2: just hang out with family and friends in Texas. So
- 1:36Speaker 2: you and I for the next I don't know, hour
- 1:37Speaker 2: and a half or whatever it takes, or as long
- 1:39Speaker 2: as as we're on the.
- 1:40Speaker 3: Air, exactly, as long as as long as it allows
- 1:43Speaker 3: us to write.
- 1:44Speaker 2: So this is now, you're still wearing shorts, but you
- 1:46Speaker 2: put a sweater on.
- 1:48Speaker 3: I'm a formal on top and casual down on the bottom.
- 1:52Speaker 2: Business on top, business on top and party on the bottom.
- 1:55Speaker 2: Is they say that usually that usually was attributed to mullets.
- 1:59Speaker 2: So anyway, Yeah, so we're when I drove in today
- 2:03Speaker 2: fifty four degrees. So we're starting we're starting to feel
- 2:06Speaker 2: the cold weather.
- 2:07Speaker 3: The high is supposed to be in the eighties today too,
- 2:09Speaker 3: so it's going to be a warm weekend. But then
- 2:11Speaker 3: it's going to cool off again.
- 2:13Speaker 2: And which is what it did last week. It was
- 2:14Speaker 2: in the sixties. I thought, Okay, here we go. I'm
- 2:17Speaker 2: going to slide into fall and then back up into
- 2:19Speaker 2: the eighties. So those that are listening to us from
- 2:21Speaker 2: different parts of the country are probably saying to themselves,
- 2:25Speaker 2: what a bunch of whissies.
- 2:26Speaker 3: You know.
- 2:26Speaker 2: What's funny is fifty six degrees is nothing.
- 2:29Speaker 3: Lisa wrote heater under the table and believe it or not,
- 2:32Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we actually have a fire pit that's in
- 2:35Speaker 3: front of our table. That's like just creating a nice
- 2:38Speaker 3: little warm because we did run into a little bit
- 2:40Speaker 3: of some cool temperatures last time we were here, and
- 2:43Speaker 3: I was like, sure, yeah, it might be nice to
- 2:44Speaker 3: have a little bit warmer area, you.
- 2:46Speaker 2: Know, this time of the year. I've got a portable
- 2:48Speaker 2: heater that I bring into the bathroom when I shower,
- 2:50Speaker 2: but it does two things though. Here's the beauty. It
- 2:53Speaker 2: keeps the mirror from getting flogged up.
- 2:54Speaker 3: Oh does.
- 2:55Speaker 2: And I never knew that until the first time I
- 2:57Speaker 2: used it. I got it.
- 2:58Speaker 3: WHOA. There's also there's all those little things that people
- 3:02Speaker 3: live around the country have regionally. You know. You know,
- 3:06Speaker 3: I never understood the whole heated bathroom floor thing, because
- 3:11Speaker 3: I mean, let's be real, in San Diego, we might
- 3:14Speaker 3: need that, you know, one or two months out of
- 3:17Speaker 3: the year kind of a thing. But there are parts
- 3:20Speaker 3: of the country and parts of the world that when
- 3:22Speaker 3: you walk out in the morning and you step on
- 3:25Speaker 3: that tile floor, it's cold, and.
- 3:28Speaker 2: Our cold is you know, when it's forty degrees here,
- 3:32Speaker 2: we're just like going crazy with cold. Yeah, anybody else
- 3:36Speaker 2: you know that lives in cold part of the country
- 3:38Speaker 2: would say, I'd love it to be forty. It's minus
- 3:41Speaker 2: ten where I am, so give me forty degrees any
- 3:43Speaker 2: any time we have people that are tuned in.
- 3:46Speaker 3: Yeah, everybody's saying thanks for working hard on getting the
- 3:50Speaker 3: show going, and you know, we're looking forward to chatting
- 3:53Speaker 3: with everyone. So I will say, if you're listening to
- 3:55Speaker 3: the show, now get your questions in now. Yeah, they
- 3:58Speaker 3: want to try to get to people's answers as soon
- 4:01Speaker 3: as possible.
- 4:02Speaker 2: And with John being gone, it does. It's one last person,
- 4:04Speaker 2: so plenty plenty of time, plenty of more time, I
- 4:07Speaker 2: should say, to get to those questions and those comments.
- 4:09Speaker 2: Here on guard in America. Hey, welcome those people on
- 4:12Speaker 2: biz Talk Radio. Yeah, who replay this show the following week.
- 4:16Speaker 2: We appreciate Stephanie and her crew every week. And sometimes
- 4:20Speaker 2: I have to call Stephanie and say, hey, go ahead
- 4:22Speaker 2: and replay a show your choice. Yeah, we had a
- 4:25Speaker 2: little problem dealer with Dealer's Choice exactly.
- 4:28Speaker 3: Now, you know, speaking of the biz Talk radio fans
- 4:31Speaker 3: out there, you know we would love to hear from
- 4:33Speaker 3: you as well. We understand that you know you're listening
- 4:35Speaker 3: to a pre recorded show. Sure that's fine because we
- 4:39Speaker 3: still are accessible via Facebook.
- 4:41Speaker 2: Facebook and Garden America Radio Show Facebook page.

- 4:57Speaker 3: good to have for the next show. We'll have those
- 5:00Speaker 3: questions and will kind of go over them when we
- 5:02Speaker 3: have the next show that airs on the Bistock Radio net.
- 5:05Speaker 2: Or to make it even more simple or simpler simple,
- 5:10Speaker 2: I don't know. I make up words all the time.
- 5:12Speaker 2: You can also email John at Gardenamerica dot com. Yeah,
- 5:15Speaker 2: that's John at Gardenamerica dot com. And he doesn't mind
- 5:18Speaker 2: because he takes emails and garden questions all the time.
- 5:21Speaker 2: John at Gardanamerica dot com. For those on Bistok Radio
- 5:24Speaker 2: want to get some answers to your garden questions. And again,
- 5:27Speaker 2: if you're back east to throughout the Midwest, it's going
- 5:29Speaker 2: to get real cold. Now, not much to happen as
- 5:32Speaker 2: far as the garden, but there are still things you
- 5:34Speaker 2: can do.
- 5:35Speaker 3: Yeah, infinitely, definitely, And I will say one another note
- 5:38Speaker 3: for people that are asking their questions is try to
- 5:41Speaker 3: do your best to include a few photos, not just
- 5:45Speaker 3: a photo, a few few photos. Try to take a
- 5:47Speaker 3: picture of the plant, maybe from afar. Maybe take a
- 5:50Speaker 3: picture of what the problem is up close, different couple angles,
- 5:55Speaker 3: just so that way we can help determine what's going
- 5:57Speaker 3: on or what you're you know, to help answer your
- 5:59Speaker 3: question because some kinds the description isn't enough.
- 6:03Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, exactly, Just like when somebody comes to you
- 6:07Speaker 2: in the nursery and says, my plant died. Yeah, it's okay.
- 6:11Speaker 2: What kind of care are you giving it? Are you
- 6:14Speaker 2: watering it?
- 6:14Speaker 3: Oh?
- 6:15Speaker 2: I water every day And that's when I'd say, you
- 6:17Speaker 2: know what, I think you're overwatering.
- 6:18Speaker 3: Yeah, And then they say, oh no, no, no it
- 6:20Speaker 3: was dry, and You're like, okay, well, so.
- 6:23Speaker 2: We need as much information as possible in pictures are
- 6:26Speaker 2: a big help.
- 6:27Speaker 3: Yeah, plumeria. Question from Joyce. Is it time to cut
- 6:32Speaker 3: back the cut back watering or do I stop watering sometime?
- 6:38Speaker 2: Well, this would be the time of the year that
- 6:40Speaker 2: you want to begin lessening the water.
- 6:43Speaker 3: Yes, definitely start to cut back the watering. I don't
- 6:46Speaker 3: think you need to stop watering yet. It's still not
- 6:49Speaker 3: quite cold enough to stop watering yet, but you can
- 6:52Speaker 3: decrease it. Usually a good telltale sign of stop watering
- 6:56Speaker 3: is when a lot of the leaves begin to turn,
- 6:59Speaker 3: not as they all of them need to fall off,
- 7:01Speaker 3: they just begin to turn. You know that yellow color
- 7:04Speaker 3: you start to lose. Yeah, so you know at that time,
- 7:08Speaker 3: that's when you stop water because you're worried about rotting
- 7:11Speaker 3: out you you know, you you worried about you know,
- 7:14Speaker 3: keeping the soil too damp, you know, kind of a thing.
- 7:17Speaker 3: The other thing to think about is rainfall. If you're
- 7:20Speaker 3: in an area where you're going to get more, if
- 7:22Speaker 3: you're gonna get rain, you know, then cut back watering
- 7:25Speaker 3: in or stop completely, because then it could supplement with that,
- 7:28Speaker 3: and you know what you.
- 7:29Speaker 2: Have to do to stop watering. It's it's like saying,
- 7:32Speaker 2: you know what, you you can't feed your child for
- 7:34Speaker 2: the next couple of two or three days. Yeah, what
- 7:36Speaker 2: do you mean, I gotta feed whatever this instance may be, whatever,
- 7:41Speaker 2: just making up a hypothetical situation. It's tough because you know,
- 7:44Speaker 2: you know, plants are like our kids, you know, plants
- 7:47Speaker 2: are family. We want to take care of them. And
- 7:48Speaker 2: people the first thing they want to do is water.
- 7:51Speaker 2: It's hard to cut back on watering if you're not
- 7:53Speaker 2: used to doing that. Just like when I cut back
- 7:55Speaker 2: my roses severely after being at John's house. They they
- 7:58Speaker 2: have never looked so good. They are all in fro bloom.
- 8:02Speaker 2: I used to have a rose busher two that would
- 8:04Speaker 2: give me maybe one or two roses at a time.
- 8:06Speaker 2: No I've got five or six. So there's a case
- 8:09Speaker 2: where I just had to take the plunge and cut extremely,
- 8:12Speaker 2: cut them back, extremely right down to the bare bone.
- 8:15Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's good to do. And look at how
- 8:17Speaker 3: great they look next weeks later.
- 8:18Speaker 2: It looks fantastic. So I know it's tough sometimes to
- 8:21Speaker 2: stop watering, but in certain situations that's what you need
- 8:24Speaker 2: to do.
- 8:25Speaker 3: Carol's asking morning from Tucson, how long will my magnolias
- 8:31Speaker 3: last outside in pots?
- 8:32Speaker 2: Thanks from Carol, Tucson gets very cold in the wintertime
- 8:36Speaker 2: because you're desert, I would imagine exactly.
- 8:39Speaker 3: Yeah, So I think that in the magnolias are actually
- 8:42Speaker 3: very hearty annuals, so they can tolerate a little bit
- 8:45Speaker 3: of cold, but not a lot. So out there in Tucson,
- 8:49Speaker 3: I'd imagine you probably can keep them going all the
- 8:52Speaker 3: way through into January. Maybe around February they'll stop. They'll
- 8:55Speaker 3: start to get burned a little bit, you know, and
- 8:59Speaker 3: not looking good in the One thing that you know
- 9:02Speaker 3: regarding keeping them in pots is as they get more established,
- 9:06Speaker 3: I don't know how how long they've been in this pot, Carol.
- 9:10Speaker 3: Is the idea, like what we talked about with watering
- 9:12Speaker 3: is you don't have to water them a lot if
- 9:14Speaker 3: they're well established in pots. You know, you're maybe looking
- 9:17Speaker 3: at like a once a week, once twice a week
- 9:20Speaker 3: watering there, and that'll help kind of keep them lasting longer,
- 9:24Speaker 3: because if you overwater and it's cold now, it's going
- 9:29Speaker 3: to shorten the life of the plant. But well, yeah,
- 9:33Speaker 3: you know, and you should be using potting soil and
- 9:34Speaker 3: make sure the pot has drainage. But you know, so
- 9:37Speaker 3: I would say you're probably looking all the way until
- 9:39Speaker 3: January February, you know, getting some good magnolia's flowers, and
- 9:44Speaker 3: then probably at that point in time it's going to
- 9:46Speaker 3: get too cold and then it'll stop, okay, So then
- 9:48Speaker 3: you just pull them out and then you can start
- 9:50Speaker 3: over with something fresh, I mean out there. You know,
- 9:52Speaker 3: you can go pansies, you know, you know viola. You
- 9:57Speaker 3: know what else is happening in the wintertime, snap drag INDs.
- 10:00Speaker 3: You know a lot of other fun plans for sure.
- 10:03Speaker 2: So we got about a minute until our first break.
- 10:04Speaker 2: Anybody else we need to address.
- 10:07Speaker 3: Uh No, I think we've answered so far the questions
- 10:10Speaker 3: at this moment.
- 10:11Speaker 2: Yes, so keep the questions comments coming. We are we
- 10:14Speaker 2: are here at Tiger's house in San Diego. And again,
- 10:16Speaker 2: I know we talk about how cold it is. It's
- 10:18Speaker 2: about let's see, you know what, let's see what the
- 10:20Speaker 2: watch says.
- 10:21Speaker 3: Oh what does the watch say?
- 10:26Speaker 2: Watch says fifty three degrees? Fifty three fifty three. Hasn't
- 10:31Speaker 2: seem that well? We have you know, I got a
- 10:32Speaker 2: jacket on, you gonna sweater on? So that said. Hey,
- 10:34Speaker 2: by the way, the newsletter, we should read the quote
- 10:36Speaker 2: of the week. We have time before the breaker, we'll
- 10:39Speaker 2: do it after that. Already, we're going to take our
- 10:40Speaker 2: first break for our friends on BIS Talk Radio. We

- 11:09Speaker 4: John and Tiger.
- 11:11Speaker 2: Okay, welcome back Facebook Live Biz Talk Radio. Appreciate you
- 11:15Speaker 2: being along for the ride this morning on Garden America.
- 11:18Speaker 2: Brian Maine Tiger Pala Fox John is in Texas. Next
- 11:21Speaker 2: weekend is the Rose Auction here in San Diego.
- 11:24Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna try to do it. I'm gonna try
- 11:26Speaker 3: to do a like broadcast from the Rose Auctions on Saturday.
- 11:28Speaker 3: On Saturday, we'll try to do that for sure.
- 11:31Speaker 2: So the court of the week, you've got the Yeah,
- 11:33Speaker 2: you've got the newsletter up on your phone and go ahead.
- 11:36Speaker 3: Tiger gardening simply does not allow one to be mentally old,
- 11:41Speaker 3: because too many hopes and dreams are yet to be realized.
- 11:45Speaker 3: And that's by Alan Armitage, Armitage, right, Armitage.
- 11:49Speaker 2: And it makes sense obviously, right.
- 11:52Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I mean anytime that you can just
- 11:55Speaker 3: keep what wakes you up in the morning, you know
- 11:59Speaker 3: what's back, motivation, motivation, and so gardening there's always something
- 12:04Speaker 3: to do. You're never done, you know that. You know,
- 12:07Speaker 3: whether you work, you could work eighteen hours in the
- 12:11Speaker 3: garden one day. The next day you can wake up
- 12:14Speaker 3: and there's still something to do. Yeah, and you can
- 12:16Speaker 3: look at that and be like, oh, that's a daunting task.
- 12:18Speaker 3: But a real gardener just understands that and embraces it.
- 12:22Speaker 3: And that's why you wake up the next day and
- 12:24Speaker 3: just keep going nature.
- 12:26Speaker 2: The good Lord will always give you something to do exactly,
- 12:29Speaker 2: especially when it comes to gardening. Yeah, so that that
- 12:32Speaker 2: is definitely true. Okay, So since you do a lot
- 12:38Speaker 2: of landscaping, Tiger, that's what you do.
- 12:40Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 12:40Speaker 2: Here we are getting into the winter of the fall
- 12:42Speaker 2: months here in southern California. Yeah, things are changing. What
- 12:45Speaker 2: changes for you in your job when it comes to landscaping?
- 12:48Speaker 2: What can you do or not do this time of year?
- 12:50Speaker 3: So, you know, when we started the show, we kind
- 12:52Speaker 3: of hinted on the water and I know I've addressed
- 12:55Speaker 3: this a few times, so I'll just do real quick.
- 12:57Speaker 3: But people don't understand it's not just the temp matures
- 13:00Speaker 3: that affect watering on plants or how the plants need watering.
- 13:04Speaker 3: And it's also the daylight hours, so meaning there's a
- 13:08Speaker 3: lot less daylight hours now, which means there's a lot
- 13:11Speaker 3: less evaporation and which means there's a lot less growth
- 13:15Speaker 3: happening in plants, so therefore the plant requires less water. Okay.
- 13:20Speaker 3: Second thing also this time of year is that the
- 13:25Speaker 3: humidity in the air is going to stay more, so
- 13:28Speaker 3: we have less dry air, so that means again a
- 13:31Speaker 3: lot less evaporation and a lot less need to water.
- 13:34Speaker 3: So even though it's still warm where you're at, maybe
- 13:38Speaker 3: it still means that you have to cut back water
- 13:42Speaker 3: because now's the time y're when people begin to overwater
- 13:45Speaker 3: their plants a lot so and that goes for lawns, succulents,
- 13:49Speaker 3: California natives, all of that stuff. If you're having the
- 13:53Speaker 3: same watering schedule now that you had in July August,
- 14:00Speaker 3: you need to reevalue you need to reevaluate it, and
- 14:03Speaker 3: you need to probably cut it by about twenty to
- 14:05Speaker 3: maybe thirty percent. So if you were watering three days
- 14:07Speaker 3: a week, water two days a week, if you're watering
- 14:10Speaker 3: for you know, twenty minutes, begin to water for you know,
- 14:14Speaker 3: fifteen minutes or something like that.
- 14:16Speaker 2: Okay, now here's the next question. So I come to
- 14:18Speaker 2: you because I want you to combine and do some
- 14:20Speaker 2: landscaping for me. And we're going to have a consultation. Yes,
- 14:23Speaker 2: and I'm going to tell you that I want this,
- 14:25Speaker 2: and it's it's let's say it's November. Yes, let's say
- 14:28Speaker 2: it's the next month from where we are now, November December,
- 14:31Speaker 2: and we're talking San Diego now. So I want to
- 14:33Speaker 2: establish that, and I say, here's what I want, Tiger,
- 14:35Speaker 2: have done some research. I want these plants. I want
- 14:37Speaker 2: these plants and I want and you say, I I
- 14:41Speaker 2: can't plant these now this time of year.
- 14:43Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 14:44Speaker 2: Does that? Does that play a role in terms of
- 14:46Speaker 2: what you can and can't do seasonally?
- 14:49Speaker 3: Sometimes in terms of availability?
- 14:51Speaker 2: You know?
- 14:51Speaker 3: So for instance, we talk about roses a lot during
- 14:54Speaker 3: the program, and you know, there are times here where
- 14:56Speaker 3: just a lot of varieties of roses are just not available.
- 14:59Speaker 3: Meaning you know, you can tell me I want to
- 15:01Speaker 3: find this rose, and because it's this certain time in
- 15:04Speaker 3: the the year, all the roses are sold out, they
- 15:07Speaker 3: haven't released the other varieties yet, I just can't find it.
- 15:10Speaker 3: So sometimes seasonally I can't find plants. I'll tell you.
- 15:15Speaker 3: You know, though, if the plant is available twelve months
- 15:18Speaker 3: out of the year, we can plant it, but it
- 15:19Speaker 3: might not do anything right, like meaning like if you
- 15:21Speaker 3: don't mean to plant an apple tree in January, it's
- 15:24Speaker 3: going to be a bare root stick. But I'll plant
- 15:26Speaker 3: it and it'll sit there for three months before it grows.
- 15:29Speaker 2: That means that you can plant Uh, I'm just I'm
- 15:34Speaker 2: trying to think of of deciduous plants, so on and
- 15:37Speaker 2: so forth.
- 15:38Speaker 3: Well, we talked about plumeria exactly. So I mean, I'm
- 15:41Speaker 3: gonna have it. It's just gonna be sticks and it's
- 15:43Speaker 3: gonna sit there for sticks, which is not a bad thing.
- 15:46Speaker 3: I mean, it's great to plant things when they're dormant.
- 15:48Speaker 3: That's why we do beare root, that's why we we'd
- 15:50Speaker 3: embrace that idea, but don't expect it, like some people
- 15:54Speaker 3: will will redo their landscape and their their landscape is
- 15:58Speaker 3: very uh you know, seasonal in the spring, and we're
- 16:02Speaker 3: planting it in the wintertime. There's a lot of plants
- 16:04Speaker 3: that don't look good. They we're still going to plant them.
- 16:06Speaker 3: There's still viable plants, are great plants, they just don't look.
- 16:08Speaker 2: That they shouldn't look good. Well yeah this time.
- 16:11Speaker 3: And so people get frustrated because they're like, oh, I
- 16:13Speaker 3: wanted this to be pretty. It's like, well, if you
- 16:15Speaker 3: wanted to be pretty, you'd have to do it in spring.
- 16:16Speaker 2: That okay. See that was my my basic question is
- 16:19Speaker 2: then you need to wait. Yeah, you know, if you
- 16:21Speaker 2: wanted to look you know all you know, blooming and
- 16:25Speaker 2: flowers and colors, we need to wait. But you know
- 16:27Speaker 2: what I would rather follow your advice in terms of
- 16:32Speaker 2: planning in the wintertime or the fall, that's the best
- 16:34Speaker 2: time and let things grow because then as the as
- 16:38Speaker 2: the homeowner, you're actually seeing it come to fruition.
- 16:40Speaker 3: Yes, and it gets established easier, there's less stress, less investment.
- 16:47Speaker 3: All of that. I do want to keep talking on
- 16:49Speaker 3: this subject, but we do have a thing that came
- 16:51Speaker 3: in So Carlo wrote, my family took me to the
- 16:54Speaker 3: San Diego Zoo yesterday to go on the botanical bus
- 16:57Speaker 3: tour to and see the Orchid Greenhouse, which is only
- 17:02Speaker 3: open a couple times a month, and shop at the
- 17:05Speaker 3: plants sale. Lots of fun. Now it's funny because people
- 17:09Speaker 3: don't realize this, but the San Diego Zoo is just
- 17:12Speaker 3: as much a botanical wonders it is animals, and a
- 17:17Speaker 3: lot of people do go there to look at the
- 17:19Speaker 3: plants because they do a fabulous job with the you know,
- 17:25Speaker 3: collection of plants that they have. They they tag them
- 17:27Speaker 3: and label them so you can know what they are
- 17:30Speaker 3: a specific thing. Carl, I don't know if you knew
- 17:33Speaker 3: this about the Orchid Greenhouse though. The Orchid Greenhouse is
- 17:38Speaker 3: also a a location where when the border patrol or
- 17:46Speaker 3: the agg Department gets illegal orchids, confiscates them, they bring
- 17:53Speaker 3: them there, is that, right, And and then because you know,
- 17:56Speaker 3: I mean it's a trusted facility here, you know, you
- 17:59Speaker 3: know the you know, they don't just want to trash.
- 18:01Speaker 3: Some of these are the very rare specimens. So then
- 18:03Speaker 3: it's the Diego Zoo's job to identify see what they
- 18:07Speaker 3: need to do. Sometimes they distribute them to other you know,
- 18:10Speaker 3: botanical gardens, depending on their their rarity and everything else
- 18:13Speaker 3: like that. Sometimes they just release them, you know, they
- 18:17Speaker 3: make sure that they've quarantined them for a period of
- 18:19Speaker 3: time and then released them. Sometimes they dispose the moment
- 18:22Speaker 3: if they're not that you know, unique or anything like that.
- 18:25Speaker 3: But so you can see some really unique stuff there
- 18:28Speaker 3: at that orchid garden because they get in stuff because
- 18:32Speaker 3: you know, being here at a border city, there's a
- 18:34Speaker 3: lot of and people think, oh, it's just drugs or
- 18:36Speaker 3: people or whatever.
- 18:38Speaker 2: Plants.
- 18:39Speaker 3: Sure, they bring in plants, illegally.
- 18:41Speaker 2: Exotic birds, I mean exactly right. If it's got if
- 18:44Speaker 2: it's got a value to it.
- 18:45Speaker 3: They'll bring it in.
- 18:46Speaker 2: Absolutely.
- 18:47Speaker 3: And so the San Diego Zoo is one of the
- 18:49Speaker 3: places that they bring that stuff in and so you
- 18:51Speaker 3: can see some really unique stuff there sometimes, and it's
- 18:54Speaker 3: a great opportunity. And like she said, it's only opening
- 18:56Speaker 3: like once a month, So if you get the opportunity
- 18:59Speaker 3: to go when it's open, it's a lot of fun
- 19:01Speaker 3: because you know you're gonna see stuff there that you
- 19:04Speaker 3: won't see anywhere in the United States sometimes.
- 19:07Speaker 2: So with what I took home last week from you
- 19:11Speaker 2: when you divided, oh the organ the New Yorkan, what am
- 19:14Speaker 2: I going to see growth? And the fact that.
- 19:17Speaker 3: It's not until spring?
- 19:18Speaker 2: Right, And here's my next question, is it's uh, it's
- 19:23Speaker 2: in a pot as opposed to like not needing a
- 19:27Speaker 2: host and being put someplace else. Is that because of
- 19:30Speaker 2: the species?
- 19:31Speaker 3: Yes? Yeah, different ones, you know, some require bark and soil,
- 19:35Speaker 3: some require you know, they're just air.
- 19:37Speaker 2: Plants, differenbakia, Right, that was the one.
- 19:40Speaker 3: Yeah you got, Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, exactly. We're gonna
- 19:42Speaker 3: take a quick break here, all right, more questions, more questions.
- 19:45Speaker 2: And I've got questions too, So it's gonna be a
- 19:46Speaker 2: lot of fun here on Guard in America along with
- 19:48Speaker 2: Tiger Peala Fox, thank you for joining us. I'm Brian Maine.
- 19:51Speaker 2: We're gonna take a break for BIS Talk Radio. Back
- 19:53Speaker 2: after these messages on Garden America, stay with us.
- 20:12Speaker 4: Welcome back to the Garden America Radio Show with Brian
- 20:15Speaker 4: John and Tiger.
- 20:17Speaker 2: Okay, we are back live from Tiger's backyard, Tiger's patio here.
- 20:23Speaker 2: Those that can see the background, beautiful day. Sun is
- 20:25Speaker 2: coming up, even though it's a bit cool, probably mid
- 20:28Speaker 2: to high fifties right now. We're supposed to get into
- 20:30Speaker 2: the low eighties today. So that said, a fun day
- 20:34Speaker 2: is in store for all of us here in San Diego.
- 20:37Speaker 2: And the questions keep coming. The word that I couldn't
- 20:40Speaker 2: think of during the.
- 20:41Speaker 3: Break, epiphy is a plant that's epiphetic, which you know,
- 20:46Speaker 3: does not require it's a host.
- 20:48Speaker 2: It could be a tree, yeah, it could be someplace
- 20:50Speaker 2: to support it, which which my species is different.
- 20:53Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. Leonore plumerias have small roots systems. I've heard. Yes,
- 21:00Speaker 3: you know what's crazy. Leonora is small and shallow. Because
- 21:05Speaker 3: it's amazing, because there was a property I went to
- 21:08Speaker 3: that had a plumeria that was about ten feet tall,
- 21:14Speaker 3: maybe about eight or nine feet wide, just beautiful specimen plumeria.
- 21:18Speaker 3: It was very well established, it was a good it
- 21:21Speaker 3: was a good plant. It blew over in a windstorm,
- 21:25Speaker 3: and you know, we went out and we we staked
- 21:28Speaker 3: it up and.
- 21:29Speaker 2: It was down.
- 21:30Speaker 3: It was in the ground, thank you, And and we
- 21:33Speaker 3: staked it up and we took off some of the
- 21:35Speaker 3: weight and there was not a lot of root system
- 21:39Speaker 3: in there. And when we stood it up and secured it,
- 21:42Speaker 3: the plants still thrived. It did just fine.
- 21:46Speaker 2: There there is that the word I would say that.
- 21:50Speaker 3: They're hearty because a lot of what they need is
- 21:54Speaker 3: within the stems of the plant. That's why they don't
- 21:57Speaker 3: have a big root system is because they don't need
- 22:00Speaker 3: those tap roots. They don't need that massive root system
- 22:03Speaker 3: to support it. They have what they need in the
- 22:07Speaker 3: plant itself. So therefore, that's why when you can take
- 22:09Speaker 3: a cutting and just drop it in the soil, it'll
- 22:11Speaker 3: begin to grow because everything it needs is in that
- 22:14Speaker 3: stem and then it just goes from there.
- 22:16Speaker 2: Sounds like a cactus or a succulent.
- 22:18Speaker 3: Very similar in a very similar yeah yeah, so so yeah,
- 22:23Speaker 3: so you know. And that's one of the problems though
- 22:26Speaker 3: with Plumere's is the cold weather is the reason why
- 22:28Speaker 3: they affects them so much. They have so much water
- 22:30Speaker 3: in them that when that freezes, that's what damages the plant.
- 22:34Speaker 2: And so by watering when you shouldn't water this time
- 22:36Speaker 2: of the year, you're overwatering because it already has within
- 22:39Speaker 2: it what it needs in terms of watering. Exactly, okay, exactly.
- 22:43Speaker 3: And also you know the idea that you're maybe forcing
- 22:47Speaker 3: some growth when it shouldn't be. You know, you just
- 22:50Speaker 3: don't want to be rotting out that root system. Let's
- 22:55Speaker 3: see here. John did a great job with the new letter.
- 23:00Speaker 3: Leonor your rose is beautiful, Lisa's live oak is so
- 23:05Speaker 3: nice and stately, Kevin's blooming bond's eye is adorable. Yeah. Good,
- 23:13Speaker 3: good photos, good photos. Great, thanks for sharing them. Continue
- 23:16Speaker 3: sharing the photos.
- 23:17Speaker 2: Those photos go to John at gardinamerica dot com. And yes,
- 23:20Speaker 2: you too could appear in the newsletter. At least your
- 23:22Speaker 2: picture or your plant could appear in the newsletter.
- 23:25Speaker 3: Kevin asked when's the best time to take cuttings in
- 23:28Speaker 3: propagate plumerias. So actually we're, you know, we're in the
- 23:33Speaker 3: middle of that right now. So you know, taking cuttings,
- 23:37Speaker 3: you know, you're you're you're actually kind of like wrapping
- 23:40Speaker 3: up the time of year to do that, because you know,
- 23:42Speaker 3: if you take a cutting in the winter time. You know,
- 23:44Speaker 3: most people saying, oh, that's the best time you would
- 23:46Speaker 3: take a cutting, but then you know it sits and
- 23:49Speaker 3: you run the risk of rotting it out. So you know,
- 23:52Speaker 3: we're wrapping up the time of year where to take
- 23:54Speaker 3: cuttings because a lot of times these plumers are just
- 23:56Speaker 3: going to go dorm it. So the next best time, Kevin,
- 24:00Speaker 3: is going to be late summer. That's the best time
- 24:02Speaker 3: to kind of take cuttings, root the plum area, let
- 24:05Speaker 3: it grow, let it winter then, and then the next
- 24:07Speaker 3: spring you'll get.
- 24:08Speaker 2: Another He's about a year away from that late summer.
- 24:10Speaker 3: Yeah, especially especially in quarterly in Idaho.
- 24:13Speaker 2: And we talked about the quart of the week that
- 24:15Speaker 2: we had in terms of always something to do. I
- 24:18Speaker 2: think one of the biggest things we should all remember
- 24:22Speaker 2: when it comes to gardening too is patients. Oh definitely,
- 24:24Speaker 2: because I know we all want it to bloom, and
- 24:26Speaker 2: we all want it right now, and that's not always
- 24:29Speaker 2: the case. You've got to be patient.
- 24:32Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm wondering if any of our listeners out there
- 24:34Speaker 3: actually harvest seeds for growing, because that's a whole nother
- 24:38Speaker 3: level of gardening right where you have a plant. You
- 24:41Speaker 3: have a flower, you harvest the seeds, you store the seeds,
- 24:46Speaker 3: you plant the seeds, and you start over again.
- 24:48Speaker 2: I think that used to be more prevalent than it
- 24:50Speaker 2: is today. I have no figures to back me up
- 24:53Speaker 2: for statistics, but that seems Does that seem old fashioned
- 24:56Speaker 2: to you? Does it seem kind of like old school?
- 24:58Speaker 3: Oh? It definitely seems old fashioned, old school to me.
- 25:00Speaker 3: And and I really think the only reason why anybody would
- 25:02Speaker 3: do it nowadays is either because it's the hobby or
- 25:08Speaker 3: that plant is so rare or unique that you can't
- 25:12Speaker 3: find it elsewhere, and that's why they propagate it that way,
- 25:15Speaker 3: because you know, it might be a variety of of
- 25:19Speaker 3: of salvia or you know, another annual flower that they
- 25:23Speaker 3: can't find, and so therefore they want to do it.
- 25:25Speaker 3: Some people do it with their tomatoes, you know. And
- 25:29Speaker 3: so some people do it with their tomatoes and you know,
- 25:32Speaker 3: different vegetables because they feel like, oh, that's the only
- 25:35Speaker 3: way I'm going to get that vegetable again.
- 25:37Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, because I should find it to make
- 25:39Speaker 2: sure that I have it. Yeah, it's like going to Costco. Yeah, exactly,
- 25:43Speaker 2: I got to buy a case of everything just.
- 25:45Speaker 3: In case, Yeah, exactly. All right, lots of good chatter
- 25:52Speaker 3: on the on the program. Thank you very much for sharing.
- 25:56Speaker 3: So let's talk a little bit about the auction for
- 25:58Speaker 3: next week. How much time do we have before our next.
- 26:00Speaker 2: We got about five minutes. We're looking good. Five minutes
- 26:02Speaker 2: is a long time in media.
- 26:04Speaker 3: So if you're in southern California and you have the opportunity,
- 26:07Speaker 3: we're gonna be in Ocean Side next weekend. If you
- 26:10Speaker 3: go to the California Coastal Coastal Rose Society website which
- 26:17Speaker 3: California Coastal Road cc RS dot org.
- 26:21Speaker 2: You can just google Coastal you know, Coastal roa Society,
- 26:25Speaker 2: it'll come up and it's gonna be I don't know
- 26:27Speaker 2: the name of the place. I just know it's called
- 26:29Speaker 2: the Senior Center.
- 26:30Speaker 3: Yeah, it's up there in Ocean Side. At they developed
- 26:35Speaker 3: this whole area where they have like sports complex and
- 26:38Speaker 3: the stadium front Wave Arena is up there.
- 26:41Speaker 2: And is that where we were two years ago with
- 26:44Speaker 2: Marine Ross same place?
- 26:46Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 26:47Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, okay.
- 26:48Speaker 3: So anyways, on Saturday is a great opportunity to visit
- 26:55Speaker 3: and listen to some great speakers, some experts on roses
- 27:00Speaker 3: is on cultivating them on, growing them on you know,
- 27:04Speaker 3: just general Rose history and all of that.
- 27:07Speaker 2: Now, are those roses on display on Saturday in case
- 27:09Speaker 2: you wanted to sort of, you know, take a peek
- 27:12Speaker 2: and find out what you might want to bid on
- 27:14Speaker 2: the next day.
- 27:14Speaker 3: I don't know if they're going to be on display.
- 27:16Speaker 3: I don't think they're on display. I think they're having
- 27:18Speaker 3: you know, part of the Rose Show and all of
- 27:20Speaker 3: that on Saturday. But Saturday is supposed to be more informative.
- 27:24Speaker 3: So if you're very interested in roses and like I said,
- 27:27Speaker 3: cultures talk how you know, history, that's going to be
- 27:30Speaker 3: a great thing. And then on Sunday is the actual auction.
- 27:33Speaker 2: Because I do know that that when we do the
- 27:35Speaker 2: auction on Sunday, probably ninety percent of the people, if
- 27:39Speaker 2: not all of them, they already already know what they're
- 27:42Speaker 2: going to bid on.
- 27:43Speaker 3: They oh, well, the list is online.
- 27:44Speaker 2: List is there.
- 27:45Speaker 3: The list is online, so you can start looking at
- 27:48Speaker 3: what roses are available, and you can start seeing what
- 27:51Speaker 3: you know pieces your interest for sure, because for those
- 27:56Speaker 3: people that haven't heard us talk about this before, this
- 27:59Speaker 3: is the opportunity to get maybe uh one of a
- 28:04Speaker 3: kind rows.
- 28:04Speaker 2: Rare roses.
- 28:05Speaker 3: You know, the whole point of this whole group save roses,
- 28:11Speaker 3: and so you know you might have, you know, one
- 28:15Speaker 3: of three roses in the world, and the the idea
- 28:19Speaker 3: is to preserve and you know, continue the legacy of
- 28:23Speaker 3: these certain roses. A lot of roses have really neat
- 28:26Speaker 3: stories behind them, which is really fun to have a
- 28:29Speaker 3: rose in your garden because it has a unique story.
- 28:32Speaker 3: Sometimes people just really like the flower, you know, sometimes
- 28:36Speaker 3: people just like the name. There's all kinds of reasons
- 28:39Speaker 3: why you would want a rose, and you know, I mean,
- 28:44Speaker 3: you know, you can get some for twenty dollars and
- 28:49Speaker 3: then some of our door two dollars.
- 28:51Speaker 2: And also it's supply and demand, meaning that you might
- 28:55Speaker 2: be there bidding against four or five people or even
- 28:57Speaker 2: one other person that wants that rose, and that's it
- 29:00Speaker 2: obviously drives the bidding up.
- 29:02Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, and so so definitely if you're in the
- 29:05Speaker 3: southern California area or you know, like I see, like
- 29:08Speaker 3: I say, you can go online and you could bid
- 29:09Speaker 3: on roses right now online too and be a part
- 29:13Speaker 3: of the.
- 29:13Speaker 2: California Coastal Road Society. That's what you want to google.
- 29:16Speaker 3: Yeah, and thanks carlt for posting c c RS auction
- 29:21Speaker 3: dot com is the website to go to for the auction.
- 29:25Speaker 3: I will say. The other thing to know is that
- 29:28Speaker 3: all the money that is raised at this auction goes
- 29:32Speaker 3: towards preserving these plants. So it goes towards you know,
- 29:37Speaker 3: botanical gardens. It goes towards preservation propagation of these plants
- 29:42Speaker 3: to be able to kind of perpetuate them and keep
- 29:43Speaker 3: them going. So you're, you're, you're, your money is going
- 29:46Speaker 3: towards it's a cost.
- 29:48Speaker 2: As they say, win win, everybody wins on this one. Yeah, Okay,
- 29:51Speaker 2: we've got about let's say we got about it about
- 29:53Speaker 2: a minute.
- 29:53Speaker 3: Go ahead, okay, switch uh maybe well I'll answer the
- 29:56Speaker 3: I'll ask the question, then we'll answer. We get back.
- 29:58Speaker 3: I have Mum's plant it in the yard and bought
- 30:01Speaker 3: on and brought on one of those big pots of mums.
- 30:05Speaker 3: Do I cut them back in order to keep them
- 30:08Speaker 3: from getting leggy? This is from Joyce and Mum's mum
- 30:11Speaker 3: Care is a great question. When we get back from
- 30:14Speaker 3: the break, I will address mum care.
- 30:16Speaker 2: All right, how about that mumcare with Tiger when we
- 30:18Speaker 2: get back Facebook Live, Biz Talk Radio syndicated nationally Here
- 30:22Speaker 2: Guard in America. I'm Brian Maine, Tiger Pella, Fox again,
- 30:25Speaker 2: Johnson Texas. So we're going to take that break and
- 30:27Speaker 2: back and address moms here on Guard in America. Stay
- 30:29Speaker 2: with us.
- 31:16Speaker 4: Welcome back to the Garden America Radio Show with Brian,
- 31:19Speaker 4: John and Tiger.
- 31:22Speaker 2: How about that We are back a much quicker break
- 31:24Speaker 2: on Facebook Live Biz Talk Radio. Thank thank you for
- 31:27Speaker 2: supporting us and supporting our sponsors Fertilom and other sponsors
- 31:31Speaker 2: here who support Garden America. Now, just prior to the break,
- 31:35Speaker 2: we were talking moms. But you say, now we're really
- 31:37Speaker 2: going to get into moms.
- 31:38Speaker 3: Not your mom, not your mom, not mummy is mum?
- 31:41Speaker 3: The word mom is the word right, But mom's chrysanthemum. Okay,
- 31:47Speaker 3: you know, very very popular right now in the fall.
- 31:49Speaker 3: This is the time of year. You see them in
- 31:51Speaker 3: you know, the shopping centers, you see them in all
- 31:53Speaker 3: the garden centers. And what you're seeing right now are
- 31:56Speaker 3: the very small button moms, which and the reason why
- 31:59Speaker 3: you see them now is because they're very early, they're
- 32:01Speaker 3: a little bit more heat tolerant for southern California where
- 32:03Speaker 3: we kind of grow most of this stuff. And so
- 32:07Speaker 3: one thing to do is deadhead. You know what deadhead is.
- 32:11Speaker 3: And I'm not talking about I'm not talking about Jerry.
- 32:14Speaker 3: I'm not talking about Jerry and Jerry.
- 32:16Speaker 2: No dead heading would be just I chop it right
- 32:18Speaker 2: off the top, lop their head off.
- 32:21Speaker 3: So, you know, one of the problems with mums is
- 32:23Speaker 3: that they're flowers. When they become spent, they hold onto
- 32:26Speaker 3: the plant. They don't let go. They don't just fall off.
- 32:30Speaker 2: You need to help them fall off.
- 32:31Speaker 3: You need to help them fall so that way you
- 32:33Speaker 3: get new flowers. If you leave those old flowers on,
- 32:36Speaker 3: you won't get new flowers. The buds will just stay
- 32:39Speaker 3: right there, they won't come out, and then you'll just
- 32:41Speaker 3: be frustrated because it looks like a dead plant.
- 32:43Speaker 2: So what happens to those that are growing in the
- 32:45Speaker 2: wild where nobody's going to take care of them?
- 32:47Speaker 3: So this button mum that we're talking about first off,
- 32:51Speaker 3: is the biggest culprit of it all, because the other
- 32:53Speaker 3: mums that are out there, the other chrysanthemums, they actually
- 32:56Speaker 3: kind of clean themselves.
- 32:57Speaker 2: They do.
- 32:57Speaker 3: The ones with the bigger flowers they do kind of
- 33:00Speaker 3: fall off and they kind of get new flowers and
- 33:02Speaker 3: they kind of grow. But we're so you know, invested
- 33:06Speaker 3: in this button mom right now because they're so early,
- 33:09Speaker 3: because because you know, in theory, right now is the
- 33:13Speaker 3: time of year that you want to see mums. The
- 33:15Speaker 3: other mums that get the larger Chrisanthi bone flowers, those
- 33:17Speaker 3: aren't gonna happen for another month or two. So you
- 33:19Speaker 3: almost lose. You almost missed the window. And to maximize it,
- 33:23Speaker 3: they try to get these early flowering plants. So those
- 33:26Speaker 3: bigger mums are much better to have because number one,
- 33:30Speaker 3: you're gonna have them in November December. I think they're
- 33:33Speaker 3: prettier and they have better looking flowers and they kind
- 33:37Speaker 3: of self clean a little bit better than these button months.
- 33:39Speaker 3: So but to what you have now, dead heading. Deadheading
- 33:45Speaker 3: is simply snipping off about an inch or so of
- 33:49Speaker 3: that flower. So so not just sometimes people just pull
- 33:51Speaker 3: off the flower, which is fine to do too, but
- 33:56Speaker 3: if you can snip it off, you'll you'll allow that
- 33:58Speaker 3: new bud to come up, it'll take its place. You'll
- 34:01Speaker 3: get another blooming cycle of flowers, you know, and go
- 34:04Speaker 3: from there.
- 34:05Speaker 2: You pull it off, it's a little more drastic, right,
- 34:07Speaker 2: Sometimes you can damage it, yeah, or regrowth yeah okay.
- 34:10Speaker 3: Yeah, but I mean, let's be real, some of these
- 34:13Speaker 3: mums are just covered with hundreds and hundreds of blooms,
- 34:15Speaker 3: so so sometimes people just throw them out and then stuff.
- 34:18Speaker 2: Sounds in a weird comparison leaving hips on roses.
- 34:22Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, I mean, you know, it's it's the end,
- 34:25Speaker 3: just by the way it looks. Yeah, okay, so you know,
- 34:29Speaker 3: but I will say that if you do do that
- 34:31Speaker 3: and you fertilize, you'll get more bloom cycles out of
- 34:35Speaker 3: that mum, which is really nice, but it's it's a
- 34:38Speaker 3: very there's a lot of investment in doing it. I
- 34:41Speaker 3: will say though, that if you go to a nursery,
- 34:44Speaker 3: you know, maybe next month you'll see some of the
- 34:48Speaker 3: other rights of mums in stock, which are great to
- 34:50Speaker 3: have so much better.
- 34:51Speaker 2: I mean, if you don't want to go through all that,
- 34:53Speaker 2: then then the button mum it is safe to call
- 34:56Speaker 2: it a button. Yeah, that's not what you want unless
- 35:00Speaker 2: you're going to invest some time and really want to
- 35:02Speaker 2: do that.
- 35:02Speaker 3: They're really just a show piece. They really are just
- 35:04Speaker 3: something you buy to put on your porch table, you know,
- 35:08Speaker 3: whatever it is. It's all just to have it for
- 35:11Speaker 3: like that week or two, and you know, and then
- 35:15Speaker 3: it kind of like goes away. But you know, it's
- 35:18Speaker 3: what it is. It's the time of year, right, you know.
- 35:21Speaker 3: But there's a lot better options out there, and and
- 35:22Speaker 3: there's a lot better plants. I mean there's right now.
- 35:24Speaker 3: You know, somebody just mentioned marygold colenngula, there's all you
- 35:28Speaker 3: know coal. Yes, there's a lot of other wonderful fall
- 35:32Speaker 3: plants ipomea that give you long lasting foliage and color
- 35:38Speaker 3: and just look better than the mom. But you know,
- 35:41Speaker 3: I understand that some people want the mummy.
- 35:43Speaker 2: And how many people in your landscaping experience say I
- 35:46Speaker 2: want color and I want something that's going to be
- 35:50Speaker 2: beautiful twelve months out of the year.
- 35:52Speaker 3: Oh that's yeah, right, that's where they go into the
- 35:54Speaker 3: fake plant area, right exactly. Okay, let's see here, let's
- 36:01Speaker 3: see when we moved recently, I lost I lost several plants,
- 36:07Speaker 3: including a rose. I planned a toss. Then I noticed
- 36:11Speaker 3: green growth on it and a beautiful flower. Would it
- 36:14Speaker 3: be okay to move it out of the pot to
- 36:16Speaker 3: a better pot? Now?
- 36:18Speaker 2: Well, what location? Where are we?
- 36:20Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a great question. But you know, I will
- 36:23Speaker 3: say though that if you, you really want to make
- 36:27Speaker 3: sure that it's stable before you do anything, right, Like
- 36:30Speaker 3: it's a it's all just because it put out new
- 36:32Speaker 3: growth in a flower doesn't mean that it's it's stable yet.
- 36:36Speaker 3: What happened was just the moving shocked the plant. You know,
- 36:40Speaker 3: maybe maybe it got underwatered for a period of time.
- 36:43Speaker 2: It needs to recover.
- 36:44Speaker 3: It needs to recovery, and you can't just go like
- 36:45Speaker 3: boom boom, boom, next, next, next, Yeah, because that's just
- 36:48Speaker 3: gonna perpetuate the stress. So you know, Veronica asked that question,
- 36:52Speaker 3: and I would say I I would wait, Veronica, I mean,
- 36:56Speaker 3: it's gonna be going dorman here in another month or two.
- 37:00Speaker 3: I would just wait till it goes fully dormant again
- 37:02Speaker 3: and then do the transplanting. Just so that way there's
- 37:05Speaker 3: even less rich because what happens, what's gonna happen right
- 37:08Speaker 3: now is say you did move it right now, depending
- 37:11Speaker 3: on where you're at, it could start to grow again,
- 37:14Speaker 3: and we don't want it to You don't want it
- 37:15Speaker 3: to grow. So exactly, if you wait till it's ready
- 37:18Speaker 3: to be dormant, then you'll be fine and just just
- 37:21Speaker 3: just wait a few months.
- 37:22Speaker 2: Sometimes you need to stick to the plant schedule. Yeah,
- 37:25Speaker 2: they have their own schedule. And the more you understand that,
- 37:28Speaker 2: the better off you're going to be and the more
- 37:30Speaker 2: successful you'll be. You got a couple of minutes until
- 37:34Speaker 2: the break.
- 37:36Speaker 3: Man. They're going so fast.
- 37:37Speaker 2: Well, that's good, we like it.
- 37:39Speaker 3: Let's see here, speaking of music trivia, Kevin all right, Kevin, No,
- 37:44Speaker 3: he's getting us off topic. Let's see what he says though.
- 37:46Speaker 3: Speaking of music trivia, I'll bet there are more songs
- 37:50Speaker 3: about roses than any other item except maybe love or whiskey.
- 37:54Speaker 2: Well, there's the Yellow Rose of Texas got him started.
- 37:59Speaker 2: Paul McCartney an album years ago, Red Rose Speedway, Guns
- 38:03Speaker 2: and Roses, Stop and Smell the Roses by mac Davis.
- 38:06Speaker 2: You said guns and roses.
- 38:07Speaker 3: The whole band dedicated to roses.
- 38:09Speaker 2: Yeah, that's interesting. Yeah, well roses are what do we say,
- 38:12Speaker 2: the two most popular roses. Yeah, roses and tomatoes.
- 38:16Speaker 3: Yeah. I think everywhere in the world you'll see roses
- 38:19Speaker 3: and tomatoes whenever you look at.
- 38:21Speaker 2: I never promised you a rose garden.
- 38:23Speaker 3: Who was that?
- 38:24Speaker 2: That was Lynn Anderson? Yeahlyn Anderson never promised you a
- 38:29Speaker 2: rose garden.
- 38:30Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so that's a good yeah, yeah, that's funny.
- 38:33Speaker 2: Someone will correct me by I think so. Yeah again, Roses.
- 38:37Speaker 3: Everything's coming up Roses right.
- 38:40Speaker 2: That was Kate Smith years ago.
- 38:42Speaker 3: Oh my goodness.
- 38:45Speaker 2: Yeah. So we're gonna take it. We gotta take a
- 38:47Speaker 2: break right now. So this break is for our friends,
- 38:50Speaker 2: of course, it's for everyone. BIS Talk Radio news coming
- 38:52Speaker 2: up top of the hour just a very few minutes
- 38:54Speaker 2: from right now. We come back broadcasting on BIS talk

- 39:08Speaker 2: course if it's a replay, it could be any other
- 39:10Speaker 2: time of the day or night. Stay with us. Going
- 39:12Speaker 2: to take a top of the air and news break
- 39:14Speaker 2: for BIZ Talk Radio Facebook Live back after these messages
- 39:17Speaker 2: and news on BIS talk Radio, Stay with us. Welcome
- 39:54Speaker 2: to the show, or in some cases, welcome back to
- 39:56Speaker 2: the show. If you are tuned in on biz Talk Radio.
- 39:58Speaker 2: This is our number two for Facebook Live. It's one long,
- 40:01Speaker 2: continuous show. I did a quick fact check during the break,
- 40:05Speaker 2: Kevin Yes, Lynn Anderson did a Rose garden. I had
- 40:07Speaker 2: to be sure because, yeah, so many songs in my head,
- 40:10Speaker 2: but that was Lynn Anderson never promised you a rose garden.
- 40:13Speaker 2: It's one of those songs that when you hear you go, oh,
- 40:15Speaker 2: I know this song. Yeah, you know, sometimes you don't recognize.
- 40:17Speaker 3: The tame or the artist.
- 40:19Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's one of those songs that have been
- 40:21Speaker 2: around for has been around for years and years.
- 40:24Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's and I think Kevin is right. I
- 40:26Speaker 3: think that probably roses are definitely the number one plant
- 40:30Speaker 3: for music. Yeah, absolutely, because you give roses for romance,
- 40:34Speaker 3: you give roses for maybe at a funeral, or roses.
- 40:38Speaker 3: Roses can be used for almost any occasion. Oh yeah, definitely. No,
- 40:42Speaker 3: and there's that there's that whole color scheme. Yes, you know,
- 40:46Speaker 3: you give a yellow rose for this, a white rose
- 40:48Speaker 3: for this, a red rose for this. Yeah.
- 40:50Speaker 2: By the way, I speaking of how prolific my roses
- 40:54Speaker 2: are in terms of bloom. So yesterday trimmed off a
- 40:57Speaker 2: lemon spice. Okay, one of the roses. John did he
- 41:00Speaker 2: give it to you a couple of years ago? He
- 41:01Speaker 2: gave gave you no, not me, what a nice aroma?
- 41:05Speaker 2: Really lemon spice good fragrance, Yes, very good fragrance.
- 41:09Speaker 3: See, that's that's probably you know, it's funny because you
- 41:13Speaker 3: know I've got Chrysoline Perial orange juice.
- 41:17Speaker 2: How many have a gold Marie?
- 41:21Speaker 3: You know Chrysler Imperial has a fragrance. I think they
- 41:23Speaker 3: all have fragrance. But if I was to collect roses,
- 41:26Speaker 3: if that was my thing, I would collect purely for fragrance.
- 41:31Speaker 3: Would I would only want roses with a very strong
- 41:34Speaker 3: or unique fragrance.
- 41:35Speaker 2: You know what's interesting about roses to the lay person,
- 41:39Speaker 2: what's the first thing they do?
- 41:40Speaker 3: Smell it?
- 41:41Speaker 2: They smell it and they don't realize it.
- 41:43Speaker 3: I guess they'd look at it first.
- 41:44Speaker 2: But I mean some people think that all roses have
- 41:47Speaker 2: a fragrance, right, No, they don't. In fact, there might
- 41:50Speaker 2: be more that don't. I don't know what the statistics
- 41:52Speaker 2: are on that. John could tell us, but I have.
- 41:55Speaker 3: I think people mostly smell flowers in generally.
- 41:58Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.
- 41:59Speaker 3: Right, when you walk up to something, don't you just
- 42:01Speaker 3: smell it and see if it does have a fragrance
- 42:04Speaker 3: at all?
- 42:05Speaker 2: So I have the lemon spice and Pope John Paul,
- 42:09Speaker 2: Wow good ones? Oh huge?
- 42:11Speaker 3: Yeah? So yeah, but smelling plants. You know, it's always
- 42:14Speaker 3: you see a flower, you walk up to it, you
- 42:17Speaker 3: smell it. Oh that one doesn't have his a fragrance,
- 42:20Speaker 3: but it's pretty so I like it. But uh, fragrance.
- 42:23Speaker 3: That's why I like Plumerius so much. They all have fragrance.
- 42:25Speaker 2: Yeah, they all do.
- 42:26Speaker 3: You know, someonere stronger than others too, but they all
- 42:28Speaker 3: have fragrance. So I like that.
- 42:30Speaker 2: All right, are we caught up?
- 42:32Speaker 3: Let me check.
- 42:33Speaker 2: We need to come on questions comments though is come
- 42:34Speaker 2: on Facebook? Yeah, hit us with your best shot.
- 42:40Speaker 3: Oh, somebody Carla wrote paper roses by Marie Ausic.
- 42:44Speaker 2: That's true, you know what, Carla very good paper roses.
- 42:47Speaker 2: Yeah it's not they're not real roses, but it's a
- 42:49Speaker 2: song about about roses and the boy. She did that
- 42:52Speaker 2: when she was like twelve or thirteen too. Oh wow,
- 42:55Speaker 2: long time yeah, long time ago.
- 43:00Speaker 3: Somebody mentioned Liila earlier in the show, and I don't
- 43:05Speaker 3: see her on the program Livelight at the moment. But
- 43:08Speaker 3: we were just out at her yard this week and
- 43:12Speaker 3: Poway and we planned. She was looking for a brachio
- 43:16Speaker 3: kai in disc color, so we found one of those
- 43:18Speaker 3: for her, a great specimen, and then we filled her
- 43:21Speaker 3: raised garden beds with some soil so she can get
- 43:24Speaker 3: cracking on her on her winter veggies. So look forward
- 43:29Speaker 3: to seeing some pics from her, hopefully pretty soon, because
- 43:34Speaker 3: future definitely exactly future news letter symbols Rio samba rose,
- 43:42Speaker 3: Lisa Martin scent is the first consideration, then color for me,
- 43:48Speaker 3: and then the perfume industry. Are roses used for the
- 43:51Speaker 3: perfume industry? Are roses used, Kevin for the perfume industry?
- 43:58Speaker 3: Are roses used?
- 44:00Speaker 2: They?
- 44:00Speaker 3: I would say, yes, yes, there there are actually some
- 44:04Speaker 3: roses that have been bred specifically for the perfume industry.
- 44:10Speaker 3: I will say that that is a little bit of
- 44:12Speaker 3: a thing that's fallen off. You know, they've created synthetic
- 44:17Speaker 3: fragrances and they can do whatever they want with those
- 44:21Speaker 3: to where yeah, where you know, it's you know, investing
- 44:24Speaker 3: in creating a plant, growing a plant, taking care of
- 44:29Speaker 3: a plant. It's much easier to create some synthetic No,
- 44:33Speaker 3: I will say, for the for the high end perfumes, yes,
- 44:38Speaker 3: they still use a lot of the old methods and
- 44:41Speaker 3: that's why they That's why it's a high end, right,
- 44:44Speaker 3: you know. But I would say that it's it's you know,
- 44:49Speaker 3: not not readily used as as you would think it
- 44:53Speaker 3: was anymore. But but that's where they get I think
- 44:55Speaker 3: a lot of inspiration from, you know, like they'll they'll
- 44:58Speaker 3: smell of.
- 44:58Speaker 2: And then trying to replicate and then they'll.
- 45:00Speaker 3: Try to replicate it in the future synthetically.
- 45:02Speaker 2: People with lab coats on, you know, beakers and coming
- 45:06Speaker 2: out of the lab and you know those people smoke
- 45:10Speaker 2: coming out of the steam.
- 45:12Speaker 3: You know, see they got they got little centrifuges running.
- 45:15Speaker 2: Bubbles coming up. You get the picture.
- 45:18Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. You know, it's funny, you know, I uh,
- 45:24Speaker 3: we we couldn't do the show last week, but.
- 45:27Speaker 2: We were all set up and ready to go. But
- 45:29Speaker 2: we did find out from the engineer at the studio
- 45:32Speaker 2: why that's the case, and it has to do with
- 45:36Speaker 2: changing the Wi Fi more security measures, actually dialing down
- 45:43Speaker 2: rottling down, yeah, what we used to be capable of.
- 45:46Speaker 2: So at least we get an answer on that and
- 45:48Speaker 2: we'll see how we can rectify that at some point.
- 45:51Speaker 3: But you know, one of the topics that we were
- 45:54Speaker 3: going to hit on last week is one hit wonders.
- 45:57Speaker 3: I really do feel I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
- 45:59Speaker 3: expand on this because I really do feel it's important
- 46:02Speaker 3: for John to be here when we do this traffic
- 46:04Speaker 3: of one hit wonders. But you know, we're talking about
- 46:08Speaker 3: plants and why why you would be attracted to it
- 46:12Speaker 3: right now that you know, we're talking about the roses,
- 46:14Speaker 3: the flower, the fragrance, different things like that, colors and things.
- 46:18Speaker 3: And I would say that that's what drives a lot
- 46:21Speaker 3: of the one hit wonder plants is that it's it's
- 46:25Speaker 3: the flower that it creates is unique and different. And
- 46:29Speaker 3: I think that that then creates that like drive why
- 46:33Speaker 3: somebody's got to have it?
- 46:34Speaker 2: I want it because they're not readily available.
- 46:37Speaker 3: Yes, and then and then you know, it kind of
- 46:40Speaker 3: goes away with some time, and then the next plant
- 46:42Speaker 3: comes along.
- 46:43Speaker 2: It's like it's like, look what I have. Oh where'd
- 46:45Speaker 2: you get it? I can't tell you.
- 46:46Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's it's amazing to kind of see
- 46:50Speaker 3: the the plants that kind of come and go through
- 46:53Speaker 3: the years, especially when it comes to annual flowers. Yes,
- 46:58Speaker 3: you know, and and I look forward to seeing what's
- 47:01Speaker 3: coming out next because there's always something new. I mean,
- 47:04Speaker 3: you know, pansies and petunias, and then you know, there
- 47:08Speaker 3: was pacopa and scopola and nemesia and all these wonderful
- 47:14Speaker 3: perennial you know, annual flowers that the growers invest and
- 47:19Speaker 3: they create and then they release them and we see
- 47:21Speaker 3: them in the garden centers and then they kind of
- 47:24Speaker 3: do their new thing. But I do wish they would
- 47:26Speaker 3: make more with fragrance, because that's the problem. I don't
- 47:30Speaker 3: there's not a lot of like annuals that have a
- 47:33Speaker 3: lot of fragrance. I liked sweet to listen, right, let's
- 47:39Speaker 3: see here.
- 47:41Speaker 2: You got a couple of minutes before the break.
- 47:45Speaker 3: Veronica agrees, no roses in my garden that do not
- 47:48Speaker 3: have a great sense. My favorite mister Lincoln and double delight.
- 47:52Speaker 2: Yeah, mister Lincoln is an incredibly sweet smelling just the
- 47:58Speaker 2: nicest fragrance.
- 47:59Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, mister Lincoln is a good red red red. Yeah,
- 48:03Speaker 3: good red rose too. Overall like it's a very good
- 48:07Speaker 3: July rose. Yes, okay, yeah, it's uh, it's I believe
- 48:11Speaker 3: it's white and red.
- 48:13Speaker 2: Which would make sense.
- 48:14Speaker 3: And I think it's a climber. Also, if I remember quickly,
- 48:19Speaker 3: Tanya wrote our but copa annuals, and yes, but Copa
- 48:22Speaker 3: is an annual in some areas. For us in southern California,
- 48:25Speaker 3: we do kind of kind of consider it a little
- 48:27Speaker 3: bit of a perennial, you know, but it's that white,
- 48:31Speaker 3: flowering trailing plant. They also find it in like a
- 48:35Speaker 3: bluish and purple. Uh. It's wonderful for putting into your
- 48:39Speaker 3: potted plants or hanging baskets because it cascades and trails
- 48:43Speaker 3: and and it blooms a lot. You know, it's always
- 48:45Speaker 3: in bloom, which is really nice, which you know, since
- 48:48Speaker 3: we're talking about but copa right now, Tanya, I do
- 48:51Speaker 3: wanna you know, people are getting into this time of
- 48:53Speaker 3: year where it's the fall. We talked about the mums
- 48:55Speaker 3: and pots combinations. One of the best combination this time
- 49:00Speaker 3: of year for a pot is going to be some
- 49:02Speaker 3: kind of grass, you know, so you know, some kind
- 49:05Speaker 3: of grass, feather grass, la mandra, uh, something like that,
- 49:09Speaker 3: and then a filler plant like a colius or some
- 49:12Speaker 3: kind of blooming plant, and then a trailing or cascading
- 49:15Speaker 3: plant like Pacopa scavola dichondra off the side of the
- 49:19Speaker 3: pot Ipomea is another one.
- 49:21Speaker 2: So look at you rattling off.
- 49:22Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm trying to do all my name dropping. But
- 49:25Speaker 3: do you remember what we call that combination of do
- 49:29Speaker 3: we do? You remember the not the acronym, but you
- 49:32Speaker 3: know it's a we do our thriller, which is our vertical,
- 49:36Speaker 3: you know, stable plant, and then we do our fillery,
- 49:40Speaker 3: which is like the metal, and then we do our spiller.
- 49:42Speaker 3: So it's thriller, thriller, filler, spiller, yep, and you know,
- 49:49Speaker 3: and it probably is. We got to take a you know,
- 49:51Speaker 3: uh commercial on the late night TV.
- 49:53Speaker 2: We'll leave you on that, not a quick break Facebook
- 49:56Speaker 2: Live a bit longer on Bistok Radio Garden America. As
- 49:59Speaker 2: we always saying back after these messages, we trust you
- 50:51Speaker 2: had a good break. We are back. We enjoyed our
- 50:53Speaker 2: break goes on biz talk Radio Facebook Live. We do
- 50:56Speaker 2: appreciate the questions, the comments, all very pertinent, all very good.
- 50:59Speaker 2: This because we all learned together.
- 51:02Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And moving on to another question, Paula wrote,
- 51:06Speaker 3: I want a lissum that receeds and and a lissam
- 51:10Speaker 3: is a plant that we used to be able to
- 51:12Speaker 3: buy and it reseeded everywhere, all over the place. And
- 51:14Speaker 3: that's one of the reasons why a lot of growers
- 51:16Speaker 3: moved away from that variety of a lissum is because
- 51:21Speaker 3: somebody planted it and then it just started coming up
- 51:23Speaker 3: all over their yard. So I will say Paula that
- 51:28Speaker 3: if you buy a lissum in color packs from the
- 51:31Speaker 3: garden center, there's a good chance that that's a variety
- 51:33Speaker 3: that is kind of like sterile and it's not going
- 51:35Speaker 3: to reced that much. But if you go online companies
- 51:39Speaker 3: like Botanical Interests Ferry Morris, they are going to have
- 51:42Speaker 3: varieties of a lissm that will recede. And those are
- 51:45Speaker 3: the varieties that you want to get because those are
- 51:47Speaker 3: the ones that are gonna come back you after year.
- 51:48Speaker 3: They're going to pop up throughout your garden, come up
- 51:51Speaker 3: by themselves. So that's the way you have to buy
- 51:55Speaker 3: that variety of a lissum is receding aalism is buy
- 51:59Speaker 3: it from a seed company. Whether it's in the garden
- 52:03Speaker 3: center or you find it online, they do still sell it,
- 52:06Speaker 3: but they just don't if you buy it in color packs,
- 52:09Speaker 3: it's usually not going to be that variety anymore. Okay,
- 52:15Speaker 3: Miniature house plants as gifts which are best and easiest
- 52:19Speaker 3: to care for hardiest of Clancho fern, violet, cycloman, clanga
- 52:26Speaker 3: celanginella and something called splash that's the kind of polka
- 52:31Speaker 3: doot plant. Okay, the miniature house plants that are easiest
- 52:36Speaker 3: to care for. Colancho is a very easy one. I
- 52:40Speaker 3: would say that calanchoe, calancho. Ferns. Some are easy, some
- 52:46Speaker 3: are very difficult. Do you have any ferns?
- 52:48Speaker 2: No?
- 52:48Speaker 3: No, no, Some are very difficult to grow. Violet's probably
- 52:52Speaker 3: one of the hardest, you know, because of the watering
- 52:55Speaker 3: cyclemen very seasonal, and they don't do well as hospitals.
- 52:59Speaker 3: That's not a that is you know, that is not
- 53:01Speaker 3: a house plant, so cycleman, I would say, no. Uh,
- 53:04Speaker 3: selanganella and something called the splash.
- 53:07Speaker 2: Uh.
- 53:07Speaker 3: Those are easy because it's just a matter of keeping
- 53:10Speaker 3: them damp, not like a wet but damp in a
- 53:13Speaker 3: well lit room and they'll grow easily. But miniature wise,
- 53:18Speaker 3: you know, the other thing that people can think of is,
- 53:22Speaker 3: you know, orchids. There's a lot of very miniatures. There's
- 53:26Speaker 3: a lot of miniature orchids that grow very easy and
- 53:29Speaker 3: inside because you know, they don't they just require a
- 53:31Speaker 3: humid environment. And then what else miniature wise, I'm trying
- 53:37Speaker 3: to think what I've had vermeiliads I don't know if
- 53:40Speaker 3: you call that miniature, but you know, bromeliads are very
- 53:42Speaker 3: easy too. Let's see here. I love my baby bunny bellies,
- 53:51Speaker 3: baby muddy.
- 53:51Speaker 2: Bellies, baby bunny bellies.
- 53:53Speaker 3: Yeah, hanging in a pot one and the nice is
- 53:56Speaker 3: tiny blooms. It also is a nice texture. It feels
- 53:59Speaker 3: like a soft like a soft bunny. So do you
- 54:02Speaker 3: know what that is? Baby bunny bellies. Let me show
- 54:05Speaker 3: you a picture because you'll reckon bunny bellies. Yeah, you'll
- 54:08Speaker 3: recognize it when I show you the picture.
- 54:10Speaker 2: It sounds like a mouth exercise before you go on
- 54:12Speaker 2: the air. It's like rubber baby buggy bumpers.
- 54:17Speaker 3: That did you do that so well? I don't think
- 54:20Speaker 3: I could do that.
- 54:21Speaker 2: Can you say the sheik six sheep is sick? No,
- 54:24Speaker 2: the Sheik's six sheep is sick. So getting back to
- 54:29Speaker 2: mouth exercise.
- 54:31Speaker 3: You know you John brought in a tradus canty for
- 54:33Speaker 3: you last week, right. This one though, has like a
- 54:35Speaker 3: fuzzy and smaller, smaller leaf, so it's a little bit
- 54:40Speaker 3: more compact and and those are a lot of fun.
- 54:42Speaker 3: So it's a it's and it's kind of suckulent. So
- 54:44Speaker 3: they're very easy to take care of.
- 54:45Speaker 2: But what is it? Bunny belly? Baby bunny bellies, baby
- 54:49Speaker 2: bunny bellies.
- 54:50Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, so try saying that twelve times fast.
- 54:55Speaker 2: Uh, baby bunny bellies. Okay, Yeah, it's a good one.
- 54:59Speaker 3: We Paula wrote, we bought a six pack of reseeding
- 55:03Speaker 3: alyssum last year and had none grow spread in our
- 55:07Speaker 3: two and a half acres.
- 55:09Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 55:09Speaker 3: Like I say, like I would say, even the ones
- 55:13Speaker 3: that you buy in color packs, and they do say
- 55:15Speaker 3: they're receeding, and they will reced to some extent, but
- 55:17Speaker 3: they're nothing like what they used to. John John, I
- 55:21Speaker 3: don't know if some of the listeners have you remember this.
- 55:24Speaker 3: When John first got his house, he had a hydro
- 55:29Speaker 3: seed his slopes to retain them. And one of the
- 55:32Speaker 3: seeds that was in that hydro seed mix was a lissom.
- 55:37Speaker 3: And for years you would go out there to his proper,
- 55:39Speaker 3: you would see a lissm, and you would see a
- 55:41Speaker 3: lissm and you would see aalism. And now when you
- 55:44Speaker 3: go out there, you just don't see it like it
- 55:47Speaker 3: did when it was first hydro seeded. And you know,
- 55:50Speaker 3: so you know, it's it's a tough thing, but you
- 55:53Speaker 3: do have to replant every few years some of the seed,
- 55:56Speaker 3: because I don't think it naturalizes as much as we.
- 55:58Speaker 2: You know, just plant it and forget it.
- 55:59Speaker 3: It's yeah, but it's gonna be one of those plants
- 56:02Speaker 3: that also comes up where you don't want it when
- 56:04Speaker 3: you do actually want it.
- 56:05Speaker 2: Now, what you told me a few years ago that
- 56:08Speaker 2: that isaac had spread? Oh what was it?
- 56:11Speaker 3: The California poppies? You planted them all in like one area.
- 56:14Speaker 3: Oh but no, and then I we went across the
- 56:16Speaker 3: canyon and spread them across the canyon. But they never
- 56:19Speaker 3: took off. I never disappointed in the California poppies that
- 56:22Speaker 3: we planted.
- 56:22Speaker 2: I remember that yard as well.
- 56:24Speaker 3: Yeah, I've invested hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of dollars.
- 56:27Speaker 2: Come up, or they come up when they die or
- 56:29Speaker 2: go away or what what?
- 56:30Speaker 3: It just doesn't it doesn't come up. They come up,
- 56:32Speaker 3: and then they go away, but they don't come back
- 56:34Speaker 3: the next year like I want them to. I wish
- 56:36Speaker 3: they would come back the next year, easy, easier, Kevin wrote,
- 56:43Speaker 3: bonds I used to be a pop populous gift. But
- 56:46Speaker 3: how many of us left with little bonzeie pot with
- 56:50Speaker 3: little black hard rocks and no plants alive in it
- 56:52Speaker 3: after the plant died. Kevin, that's so true, because you
- 56:55Speaker 3: know what I mean. Bonzas are are not easy from
- 56:59Speaker 3: the standpoint of Usually it's some kind of like juniper
- 57:02Speaker 3: or small tree and finding that balance of water.
- 57:05Speaker 2: That's what I remember. Is it an't challenge a small tree. Yes,
- 57:09Speaker 2: you know, very popular I think in Asian communities, yes, obviously.
- 57:13Speaker 3: Yeah, well you know, but it takes care and and
- 57:17Speaker 3: a lot of people get confused with care, with oh
- 57:20Speaker 3: the trimming and all of that, and it does require
- 57:22Speaker 3: some of that. I wouldn't even see say that's the
- 57:24Speaker 3: biggest care. It's the watering and fertilization, because that root
- 57:28Speaker 3: system is so small and so tight that if you
- 57:31Speaker 3: do not fertilize correctly and you do not water correctly,
- 57:34Speaker 3: that plant will either die from overwater or die from underwater.
- 57:37Speaker 3: And fertilizer too, because it needs to it needs to
- 57:40Speaker 3: be supplemented because there's no there's no nutrients in that soil.
- 57:43Speaker 3: That's all root.
- 57:44Speaker 2: Is there a special bond sie fertilizer or just any
- 57:47Speaker 2: commercial fertilizer.
- 57:48Speaker 3: I would say that there's any commercial fertilizer, but it's
- 57:51Speaker 3: deluded because you can't put strong, right, you can't put
- 57:54Speaker 3: it strong, you'll burn the plant.
- 57:55Speaker 2: And I would imagine you do really want organic and
- 57:58Speaker 2: not chemical in terms of burning, right, I mean.
- 58:01Speaker 3: That's easier for you, right, it's easier, you know, like
- 58:03Speaker 3: you do run the risk of burning with chemical for realizers,
- 58:06Speaker 3: because you might not you might mix it too strong.
- 58:08Speaker 2: And that's going to go right to the planet itself
- 58:10Speaker 2: as opposed to going into the soil of the rocks
- 58:13Speaker 2: or whatever you have it in terms of keeping it stable.
- 58:16Speaker 3: But it's so true. Whe Kevin says, like people will
- 58:18Speaker 3: just have these little collections of bondsi pots. Yeah, but
- 58:21Speaker 3: no plants, and then little fishermen on the bridge on
- 58:26Speaker 3: the bridge, on the little bridge, see exactly, Kevin. You
- 58:29Speaker 3: hit it right on the right.
- 58:30Speaker 2: On the But that painted a good picture for all
- 58:32Speaker 2: of us.
- 58:33Speaker 3: Yeah, And Kevin wrote, I think or no, Leonor wrote Kevin,
- 58:37Speaker 3: I think it's because we don't leave them outside. And
- 58:39Speaker 3: that is something true too. A lot of people put
- 58:41Speaker 3: their bonds eye plants inside on their coffee table, and
- 58:44Speaker 3: that is not the correct place to keep it. They
- 58:46Speaker 3: need to be outside under a porch, protected, you know.
- 58:50Speaker 3: And you know that's where the ideal bonds I would be.
- 58:53Speaker 2: And then somebody says, but how can I enjoy it?
- 58:55Speaker 2: I want it to be in the house.
- 58:56Speaker 3: I need to see it.
- 58:57Speaker 2: We're going to take a break. We're going to stay
- 58:59Speaker 2: on track here. Two more segments coming up, by the way,
- 59:01Speaker 2: case you're keeping track, two more segments for a BizTalk
- 59:04Speaker 2: Radio of course for Facebook Live. Glad you could join us.
- 59:07Speaker 2: Great questions everybody that's tuned in with questions and comments.
- 59:11Speaker 2: So again that John next week at the auction. John
- 59:13Speaker 2: this week is in Texas, and again it's Tiger myself
- 59:16Speaker 2: here on guard in America. I'm going to take a
- 59:18Speaker 2: break from BizTalk Radio. Back after these messages. Back from
- 59:58Speaker 2: the break, and yes, here we go. This is one
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: of our longer segments. Plenty of time for questions, comments
- 1:00:03Speaker 2: and whatever else is on your mind.
- 1:00:05Speaker 3: You know, one of the things that's also happening this
- 1:00:07Speaker 3: time of year we're talking about, you know, fall and
- 1:00:10Speaker 3: Halloween time, you know, is Halloween decorations go up in
- 1:00:14Speaker 3: the yard. And you know when people put these decorations
- 1:00:19Speaker 3: up in the yard, sometimes they forget like oh I
- 1:00:22Speaker 3: have to trim my lawn or I have to cut
- 1:00:24Speaker 3: these plants. And then these decorations. But it's kind of
- 1:00:27Speaker 3: cool though, because people people then let the plant grow
- 1:00:31Speaker 3: for a period of time where they normally wouldn't.
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: Right right, the lawn grow.
- 1:00:35Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's actually really really healthy to kind of
- 1:00:38Speaker 3: let these plants kind of do their thing for a
- 1:00:40Speaker 3: period of time without them being trimmed. And one of
- 1:00:44Speaker 3: the things that people tell me about that that happens
- 1:00:47Speaker 3: this time of year that they didn't realize is that
- 1:00:51Speaker 3: a lot of their like hedge plants, they will have
- 1:00:54Speaker 3: a flower or they'll have a very unique foliage on
- 1:00:58Speaker 3: the new growth that they didn't recognize because they were
- 1:01:00Speaker 3: constantly pruning, constantly trimming. But until they stopped pruning, and
- 1:01:05Speaker 3: now they see the flower, see the foliage. So you know,
- 1:01:10Speaker 3: that is something that I think is nice about, you know,
- 1:01:13Speaker 3: allowing your garden to just grow for a period of time.
- 1:01:16Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:01:16Speaker 3: So you know, even if you don't have decorations, just
- 1:01:20Speaker 3: just let it do its thing for a while. You
- 1:01:22Speaker 3: can always get out there and cut back later and
- 1:01:24Speaker 3: trim and you know, do that, but like let it.
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: Grow, see what it can do.
- 1:01:28Speaker 3: Yeah, right, you know, and and sometimes the plants are
- 1:01:31Speaker 3: a lot healthier, they're more resistant in the past. They're
- 1:01:34Speaker 3: they're they're gonna you know, photosynthesize more and better and
- 1:01:38Speaker 3: so just let them kind of do their own thing.
- 1:01:41Speaker 3: Yeah all right. Uh Joyce got my garden shed cleaned
- 1:01:48Speaker 3: out while listening to us. All good for her.
- 1:01:51Speaker 2: You know what, that's gonna feel good. That is very liberating,
- 1:01:55Speaker 2: right yeah, clean something, yacht, get rid of things, so
- 1:01:58Speaker 2: on and so forth.
- 1:02:00Speaker 3: Uh oh, I think Lyla is joining us. And she
- 1:02:02Speaker 3: wrote what veggies would you recommend planting now? So, you know,
- 1:02:07Speaker 3: just being he raised beds, talking about raised beds, so
- 1:02:10Speaker 3: you know, for for Poway in that area right now,
- 1:02:13Speaker 3: all the leafy greens you can still grow. We're actually
- 1:02:17Speaker 3: in the best time of year to plant them because
- 1:02:19Speaker 3: it's cooling off and they really like the cool weather.
- 1:02:23Speaker 2: So is the soil still warm rather warm or not well?
- 1:02:27Speaker 3: And that's that is you know, we're we're wrapping it up,
- 1:02:30Speaker 3: so the soil is dropping up, dropping down, So I
- 1:02:32Speaker 3: think you'll be okay. And you know, but let us
- 1:02:36Speaker 3: is spinach charts, rugelah, all the leafy green stuff, you know, broccoli, califlower,
- 1:02:43Speaker 3: you know those crops you know out there as well,
- 1:02:48Speaker 3: you can still do some of like the things like
- 1:02:50Speaker 3: the radishes, all the herbs, you know, very very easy.
- 1:02:54Speaker 3: The only thing you gotta be careful with on the
- 1:02:56Speaker 3: basil is the cool weather. But you know, in the
- 1:02:58Speaker 3: cilantro basil and silanchoe, uh get really a bit by
- 1:03:02Speaker 3: cool weather, real real hard, so be careful with that,
- 1:03:05Speaker 3: you know. But then there's also some of the varieties
- 1:03:07Speaker 3: of the the pea and the beans and what else,
- 1:03:14Speaker 3: what else, what else can you do? Right now, I'm
- 1:03:17Speaker 3: trying to think of what would be fun. Charred, you know,
- 1:03:22Speaker 3: Swiss charred. You know, they have one called bright Lights
- 1:03:25Speaker 3: is just such a showy plant. So you know, that's
- 1:03:28Speaker 3: always fun because it's got red and yellow and orange
- 1:03:31Speaker 3: in the stems, you know, which which is kind of
- 1:03:33Speaker 3: fun to kind of see that you know, can grow that.
- 1:03:36Speaker 3: But then like you know, there's the purple broccoli, and
- 1:03:40Speaker 3: you know, there's a lot of fun stuff.
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: There's a lot of stuff.
- 1:03:42Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Carlo wrote, because Joyce was cleaning out her shed. Wow,
- 1:03:49Speaker 3: I feel guilty. I was just sipping on my coffee.
- 1:03:52Speaker 3: He well, it was just enjoying the show and there's
- 1:03:54Speaker 3: Joyce working hard away.
- 1:03:55Speaker 2: I wonder if Joyce has uhbuds in.
- 1:03:58Speaker 3: Yeah, she's just trucking along. Speaker, just a big speaker
- 1:04:02Speaker 3: out there. Yeah, it's funny.
- 1:04:06Speaker 2: It is warming up. I can I can feel it now, right, Yeah,
- 1:04:09Speaker 2: it is. It's going to be a nice day.
- 1:04:11Speaker 3: Yeah, it supposed to be really nice today. It should be.
- 1:04:13Speaker 3: You know, it's beautiful. Yeah, exactly. So I'm gonna be
- 1:04:17Speaker 3: working in the yard. I've got some trimming to do.
- 1:04:19Speaker 3: I've got some cleaning up to do.
- 1:04:20Speaker 2: You dedicated this day to what you're doing. Is it
- 1:04:22Speaker 2: all an all day garden things.
- 1:04:23Speaker 3: All day garden thing? Yeah, really exactly. So I'll be
- 1:04:27Speaker 3: doing some transplanting, doing some trimming, you know, just some
- 1:04:32Speaker 3: bushes to cut back. I've got an area where I've
- 1:04:35Speaker 3: got to modify some irrigation system to water a little
- 1:04:39Speaker 3: bit better. I'm going to adjust. I already turned off
- 1:04:42Speaker 3: my water from the rain, so I turned off all
- 1:04:44Speaker 3: my irrigation last week because of the rain. I'm not
- 1:04:48Speaker 3: going to turn it on quite yet. It's still pretty damp,
- 1:04:50Speaker 3: so I'm gonna let it still dry out a little
- 1:04:53Speaker 3: bit more before.
- 1:04:53Speaker 2: Yeah, but at some point you turn it off for
- 1:04:55Speaker 2: the entire winter or.
- 1:04:57Speaker 3: Yes, yes, I think last year I was able to
- 1:04:59Speaker 3: turn off in November. I didn't turn it on again
- 1:05:01Speaker 3: until like April or man and again.
- 1:05:04Speaker 2: And that's obviously because even though you may not get
- 1:05:07Speaker 2: a lot of rain or there's periods in between, the
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: soil stays moist. Ye need it, right for the most part.
- 1:05:14Speaker 3: Right, soil stays moist. Plants don't need it, you know.
- 1:05:19Speaker 3: And that's just just the cycle. That's just the cycle
- 1:05:22Speaker 3: of of what you're doing.
- 1:05:23Speaker 2: So what about your plumeria right here? It still looks
- 1:05:27Speaker 2: pretty good off to our right.
- 1:05:29Speaker 3: You see the leaves are kind of starting to turn
- 1:05:30Speaker 3: a little bit, but it's still in bloom, still still
- 1:05:32Speaker 3: looking pretty good.
- 1:05:33Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting if you didn't know what time
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: of the year it was, and you just went by
- 1:05:37Speaker 2: how the plumia looked, Yeah, you can kind of guess,
- 1:05:39Speaker 2: you know what, what time of the year, what season
- 1:05:41Speaker 2: it is, Yes, just by looking at it.
- 1:05:44Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, exactly, you know what it.
- 1:05:46Speaker 2: Was exactly a year ago. I think in October we
- 1:05:49Speaker 2: were at the Plumeria show in Balboa Park.
- 1:05:51Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
- 1:05:52Speaker 2: Did a remote from there was that?
- 1:05:54Speaker 3: It was that in October?
- 1:05:55Speaker 2: I think so, yeah, because we talked about.
- 1:05:57Speaker 3: That's the plant sale, right, and I remember that.
- 1:06:00Speaker 2: I'm talking about when to stop watering as we got
- 1:06:03Speaker 2: into the winter months.
- 1:06:04Speaker 3: Yeah, Carolyn, I had good luck with camellia seeds. We
- 1:06:13Speaker 3: were talking about that a couple of shows ago and
- 1:06:15Speaker 3: she was talking about growing some camellia seeds. So she
- 1:06:18Speaker 3: says she has some good luck with it. So that's awesome. Kevin,
- 1:06:23Speaker 3: when he lived in Poway, arugula did fantastic. It took over, flowered,
- 1:06:28Speaker 3: seeded itself, and there were perpetual arugula growing like weeds.
- 1:06:31Speaker 3: I appreciated its verocity. Let's see, Joyce was just listening
- 1:06:40Speaker 3: to them on her phone, but she forgot to let
- 1:06:43Speaker 3: her chickens out. So she's got to go and do that.
- 1:06:46Speaker 2: Now, let the chickens. Maybe that's something we should do
- 1:06:49Speaker 2: each week, John and let the chicken. Let the chickens out, Joyce.
- 1:06:53Speaker 3: A little reminder will put an alarm on. Full day
- 1:06:56Speaker 3: of organic mulching today. So got some mulching going.
- 1:06:59Speaker 2: Good day doing. You know, it really is a good day.
- 1:07:01Speaker 2: It's gonna be warm, but not not ridiculous.
- 1:07:04Speaker 3: Yeah, And you know, Kevin hit on a fun topic too,
- 1:07:08Speaker 3: of arugula receding throughout the garden. People don't realize that
- 1:07:12Speaker 3: some of these, some of these edible plants are actually
- 1:07:16Speaker 3: really good ornamental plants or annuals that you can just have.
- 1:07:20Speaker 3: And then how wonderful is it to walk out in
- 1:07:22Speaker 3: your garden, right and just grab some and eat it
- 1:07:25Speaker 3: and have it be there and it's just part of
- 1:07:27Speaker 3: the yard. But it's edible too, So that's kind of fun.
- 1:07:30Speaker 3: That's a neat neat concept.
- 1:07:32Speaker 2: You know, when we had the when I had the
- 1:07:33Speaker 2: veggie what do we call it, veggie pod, the veggie pod,
- 1:07:36Speaker 2: and I had the cilantro and the various things. Let
- 1:07:39Speaker 2: us out there, you're right, just go out there and
- 1:07:41Speaker 2: pick it and here's your salad.
- 1:07:42Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, And and you know, so having those plants
- 1:07:46Speaker 3: in the landscape is part of the landscape is awesome
- 1:07:49Speaker 3: to do. And and sometimes you forget that they're there.
- 1:07:51Speaker 3: But you you walk out there, you're like, oh, I'm
- 1:07:53Speaker 3: gonna make a salad today, or I'm gonna make this,
- 1:07:54Speaker 3: or I'm gonna get this. Yeah, it's good to do.
- 1:08:01Speaker 3: Let's see, we suddenly had a few cold nights down
- 1:08:04Speaker 3: in the low forties, Leonore. Yeah, and that'll really make
- 1:08:06Speaker 3: things change country Lenoir.
- 1:08:09Speaker 2: Yeah, right, I think.
- 1:08:11Speaker 3: That'll really change things up for people. That's when you'll
- 1:08:13Speaker 3: start to see the leaves start to change on trees.
- 1:08:16Speaker 3: You'll start, like we said, see some of the foliage
- 1:08:19Speaker 3: drop off. And that's a really good sign that you
- 1:08:22Speaker 3: need to turn down your water. Turn off your water,
- 1:08:25Speaker 3: decrease the watering because now the plant just doesn't need
- 1:08:29Speaker 3: as much as it used to for sure, So be
- 1:08:32Speaker 3: careful with that.
- 1:08:34Speaker 2: How did you have hydrangers here?
- 1:08:36Speaker 3: I only have one in the fronts doing terribly.
- 1:08:38Speaker 2: Yeah. I had a terrible year with mine. Yeah, it
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: never really bloomed.
- 1:08:42Speaker 3: Yeah, mine was a watering issue. Hopefully next year'll be
- 1:08:45Speaker 3: better about it.
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: I mean, I mean if the leaves look good, and
- 1:08:47Speaker 2: then about two months ago started to see a little
- 1:08:51Speaker 2: little little blossom and it just never yeah, never came
- 1:08:56Speaker 2: to fruition.
- 1:08:58Speaker 3: Seux Miller, please talk about root tree care for winter,
- 1:09:01Speaker 3: especially citrus and peaches. When can we prune and shape peaches?
- 1:09:07Speaker 3: So how much time do we have for our next break?
- 1:09:10Speaker 2: We got about a minute. I think you can get started.
- 1:09:13Speaker 3: Yeah, so on the peaches, Sue, you know you can prune.
- 1:09:19Speaker 3: You know next is you know when you know it's
- 1:09:21Speaker 3: already done fruiting, So you can prune now all the
- 1:09:24Speaker 3: way through into the winter time before it starts to
- 1:09:25Speaker 3: set the buds again. Look for the dead branches, look
- 1:09:28Speaker 3: for crossing branches, look for weak branches that you want
- 1:09:32Speaker 3: to shorten so that way they firm up and will
- 1:09:35Speaker 3: hold fruit better, you know, and you just want to
- 1:09:38Speaker 3: overall lace. There should be a good airflow and light
- 1:09:41Speaker 3: throughout the whole tree. So that's your pruning style for that.
- 1:09:45Speaker 3: And so again, now that it's done fruiting, you could
- 1:09:49Speaker 3: do it now all the way through probably about January February.
- 1:09:54Speaker 3: Start to back off on the watering, don't fertilize. And
- 1:09:57Speaker 3: also now is going to be getting ready to the
- 1:09:59Speaker 3: time of year and it loses all of its lead
- 1:10:01Speaker 3: to put your dormant oil. Spraise your horticultural live soul
- 1:10:04Speaker 3: for protecting its bugs and funguses.
- 1:10:07Speaker 2: All right, break time here on Garden America. One more
- 1:10:10Speaker 2: segment coming up, and then we wrap things up. We
- 1:10:12Speaker 2: wrap things up already. Yeah, according to the clock, according
- 1:10:15Speaker 2: to the the old format clock, so and the actual
- 1:10:18Speaker 2: time clock. Taking a break for biz Talk Radio Facebook Live.
- 1:10:21Speaker 2: One more segment coming up on your Saturday morning. If
- 1:10:24Speaker 2: you're listening to us or watching us live here on
- 1:10:26Speaker 2: Gardener Mary Okay bis Talk Radio, Final segment, Facebook Live.
- 1:11:15Speaker 2: I guess technically final segment and so far, so good, Tiger, Yeah, yeah,
- 1:11:19Speaker 2: about the exactly.
- 1:11:22Speaker 3: So we talked about proof Peachtree care when we were
- 1:11:24Speaker 3: coming back. Welcome back to the program Gardener America.
- 1:11:28Speaker 2: Right, big just buzzed right by me. It was a bat,
- 1:11:31Speaker 2: it was a hawk.
- 1:11:34Speaker 3: But uh, citrus, So citrus care right now, it's critical
- 1:11:39Speaker 3: for you to really lace out those citruses to allow
- 1:11:42Speaker 3: for airflow as we get into this cooler time of year.
- 1:11:45Speaker 3: A lot of times what happens is, uh, the inner
- 1:11:48Speaker 3: growth of the citrus builds up. You get a lot
- 1:11:50Speaker 3: of scale, and then the scale turns into sooty mold
- 1:11:55Speaker 3: and all kinds of other problems. So lacing out that citrus,
- 1:11:58Speaker 3: allow for the airflow, for the light. Don't let the
- 1:12:02Speaker 3: weather affect it too much by allowing that deep dark,
- 1:12:06Speaker 3: uh situation inside the tree. So again, looking for crossing
- 1:12:09Speaker 3: branches inside growth. Lace it out properly is what you
- 1:12:14Speaker 3: need to do for the citrus. Right now? What else?
- 1:12:18Speaker 3: What else we got? Uh? I thought I saw another
- 1:12:22Speaker 3: question Paula per simon harvest and dehydrating just started. How fun.
- 1:12:28Speaker 3: Yeah really, Paula's Tanya wrote, Paula, mine are just turning orange. Tandy, Yeah,
- 1:12:38Speaker 3: John can Well, well we'll we'll mention to John about
- 1:12:41Speaker 3: hydro seating. He should do a show. We'll do a
- 1:12:43Speaker 3: show on hydra seating, on how important that is for
- 1:12:45Speaker 3: your slopes. Uh, Carolyn, my guess is that these seeds
- 1:12:50Speaker 3: from rose colored plants that eventually become camellia trees. This year,
- 1:12:55Speaker 3: I'm hoping to get a white one. The original one
- 1:12:59Speaker 3: plants are on the north side. These wall lemon tree
- 1:13:04Speaker 3: that is bet negglected. I've been thinning, but I also
- 1:13:08Speaker 3: want to top it. Is this a good time of year?
- 1:13:11Speaker 3: Yes it is. Yes, you can top it now, Veronica.
- 1:13:16Speaker 3: Regarding the lemon tree, you can trim it, like I
- 1:13:18Speaker 3: just said, lace it out top it. Really cut it
- 1:13:21Speaker 3: back right now. Especially with the lemon there, they're always
- 1:13:24Speaker 3: they're what we call ever blooming, so there are ever bearing,
- 1:13:28Speaker 3: so they're always going to be fruiting cycle. You're almost
- 1:13:30Speaker 3: gonna never have a time when it's not fruiting. So
- 1:13:33Speaker 3: you can kind of just trim as should be. I
- 1:13:35Speaker 3: will say you probably shouldn't trim more than about twenty
- 1:13:38Speaker 3: percent of the tree at a time, though, because the
- 1:13:40Speaker 3: one of them's gonna have is going to react by
- 1:13:42Speaker 3: shooting out these large branches, and you don't want that
- 1:13:45Speaker 3: to happen. That's a that's a stress reaction to a tree.
- 1:13:49Speaker 3: When you trim it hard, it begins to shoot out
- 1:13:51Speaker 3: all these branches.
- 1:13:53Speaker 2: You know, I've seen throughout the county when the city
- 1:13:57Speaker 2: comes in to do trimming, and sometimes I've seen trees
- 1:14:00Speaker 2: that just look horrible. I mean they've trimmed it back
- 1:14:03Speaker 2: so far. Yeah, on purpose, I imagine, But is that good? Well,
- 1:14:08Speaker 2: like I said, it just reacts. The tree reacts.
- 1:14:10Speaker 3: So people think, oh, I'm gonna pron it back hard
- 1:14:13Speaker 3: because I want to not have it grow back. But
- 1:14:17Speaker 3: it's almost like the opposite. It actually grows back even strong.
- 1:14:21Speaker 2: It's protecting itself in a way, right, it's reacting to.
- 1:14:24Speaker 3: It's what it's doing is going is a shock. Well
- 1:14:27Speaker 3: here here's what it is is. Imagine. Imagine you've got
- 1:14:31Speaker 3: this base, you've got this root system, You've got all
- 1:14:33Speaker 3: this structure for a twenty foot tree. Okay, well then
- 1:14:39Speaker 3: you take it down to ten feet. Well, it still
- 1:14:42Speaker 3: has all the structure for too much structure for the
- 1:14:45Speaker 3: twenty foot tree, so that its forcing water, forcing forcing
- 1:14:50Speaker 3: nutrients into this tree. And so that's why you get
- 1:14:53Speaker 3: this super fast.
- 1:14:55Speaker 2: It makes a lot of sense.
- 1:14:56Speaker 3: So that's why we you know a lot of tree
- 1:14:59Speaker 3: care people will only take take off twenty maybe thirty
- 1:15:03Speaker 3: at a time, is because if they do any more
- 1:15:06Speaker 3: than that, you're just gonna get a response that is
- 1:15:09Speaker 3: that is counter productive of what you're trying to do.
- 1:15:11Speaker 3: Right exactly, Yeah, Carlo Wrokee, you did it. Congratulation guys, Carla,
- 1:15:19Speaker 3: what do we have? We have about three minutes lest
- 1:15:22Speaker 3: we have three minutes? Yeah, And and so you know,
- 1:15:25Speaker 3: we we got on, we did a show, We answered
- 1:15:28Speaker 3: questions for people. You know, we we did it.
- 1:15:32Speaker 2: We did it. We're gonna we still have to figure
- 1:15:34Speaker 2: out the studio based on what the engineer told us
- 1:15:37Speaker 2: about how they've changed their Wi Fi completely, And we
- 1:15:40Speaker 2: had a feeling last week or two weeks ago, a
- 1:15:43Speaker 2: few weeks ago something something had changed in there and
- 1:15:46Speaker 2: they put in a lot of security measures. They've cut
- 1:15:48Speaker 2: back on the strength, so on and so forth. So yeah,
- 1:15:52Speaker 2: but so far here your backyard tiger're all is good.
- 1:15:55Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, just just a little bit of trouble getting on.
- 1:15:57Speaker 3: But yeah, you know, once we're here, we're here. And
- 1:16:00Speaker 3: that's the nice thing about it is that it didn't
- 1:16:02Speaker 3: didn't drop off yet and right now in the last minute.
- 1:16:05Speaker 2: And it's interesting because sometimes you know, we'll get on.
- 1:16:07Speaker 2: I'll say, Tyker, what did you do? He goes, I
- 1:16:09Speaker 2: don't know, and anything different. No, we're just on.
- 1:16:13Speaker 3: No, sometimes it's a matter of plugging it back in
- 1:16:16Speaker 3: or turning it off and turning it on. Yeah, that
- 1:16:18Speaker 3: sometimes resets it.
- 1:16:20Speaker 2: All right, a couple of minutes to go here, any
- 1:16:21Speaker 2: last minute questions comments, as we know.
- 1:16:24Speaker 3: Everybody's just saw it, saying great show, a few so glad,
- 1:16:27Speaker 3: great show, fun show. Guys. Look forward to seeing some
- 1:16:31Speaker 3: of our listeners next weekend at the aux.

- 1:16:57Speaker 2: out in the front door. I think it was there
- 1:17:00Speaker 2: till March. Yeah.
- 1:17:01Speaker 3: Just if you don't break it, it don't break it.
- 1:17:03Speaker 2: It's fine. Yeah, you know, but yeah, just a little
- 1:17:05Speaker 2: something that reminds you what time of year it is.
- 1:17:07Speaker 3: Do you get trigger treators in your complex?
- 1:17:09Speaker 1: No?
- 1:17:09Speaker 2: Never, I mean it's been so long, you know. I
- 1:17:13Speaker 2: stopped trigger treating two years ago. Yeah, get around. I
- 1:17:18Speaker 2: just finally said, you know, it's not worth it. I
- 1:17:20Speaker 2: see a couple of big spiders at here.
- 1:17:22Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a little bit of a little bit of
- 1:17:24Speaker 3: Halloween decor, you know, getting going.
- 1:17:27Speaker 2: You know, some parts of the world there's spiders that
- 1:17:29Speaker 2: that you know, you can settle them up.
- 1:17:33Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
- 1:17:34Speaker 2: So anything else next Okay, so next week you're gonna
- 1:17:37Speaker 2: you're gonna do like a quasi mini show from the auction. Yeah,
- 1:17:40Speaker 2: because just to come on for a while.

- 1:18:03Speaker 3: And MB just something I connect to via my hotspot.
- 1:18:06Speaker 3: So that's why we don't want to do a full
- 1:18:08Speaker 3: full show promise you a full full show, but we
- 1:18:10Speaker 3: definitely try to show off some of the things that
- 1:18:12Speaker 3: are happening at the auction and go from there.
