- 0:01Speaker 1: Welcome to the Garden America Show, the country's most to
- 0:04Speaker 1: listen to gardening program. This is your chance to join
- 0:07Speaker 1: us as we talk about gardening, horticulture, landscaping, in fact,
- 0:11Speaker 1: anything that has to do with the world of gardening.
- 0:13Speaker 1: Now Here's Brian Maine, John Bagnasco, and Tiger Palafox on
- 0:18Speaker 1: the Garden America Radio and Media Network.
- 0:23Speaker 2: For the show.
- 0:24Speaker 3: Tiger was talking about how bad it is for plans.
- 0:28Speaker 3: You know, they get sunburned.
- 0:30Speaker 4: It because one extreme to the other. Yeah, and you
- 0:33Speaker 4: mentioned you mentioned the same thing. Your analogy is, you know,
- 0:37Speaker 4: a person staying inside all winter and then the first
- 0:39Speaker 4: sunny day they go outside no sunscreen. Of course they're
- 0:42Speaker 4: going to burn.
- 0:43Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 0:43Speaker 4: That are you? Are you good, Tiger, because I see
- 0:46Speaker 4: you plugging things in and.

- 1:58Speaker 2: they're just oh they're just getting starting. Yeah, exact.
- 2:01Speaker 3: And by done, you mean they've all been planning.
- 2:03Speaker 2: They've all been planted. They they're in the ground, you know, speaking,
- 2:07Speaker 2: we're thinking summer vegetables.
- 2:09Speaker 4: Speaking of Mother's Day, because you said it's time to plant,
- 2:12Speaker 4: how about just a happy Mother's Day of the mother's

- 2:29Speaker 2: Had a boy had a good work. What do you
- 2:37Speaker 2: The garden walk is happening right now, right now ten
- 2:40Speaker 2: am at Mission Hills Nursery always Mother's Day weekend, so
- 2:44Speaker 2: I mean I head there after the show, check that out,
- 2:47Speaker 2: see a hi to everybody. Get you just walk.

- 3:09Speaker 3: Haven't we done a couple shows from the nursery on
- 3:12Speaker 3: garden Walk.
- 3:13Speaker 4: To you know what? We Actually the last time I
- 3:15Speaker 4: think we did a show was in June.
- 3:17Speaker 2: At the nursery.
- 3:18Speaker 4: At the nursery.
- 3:18Speaker 2: It was in June at the nursery right a year ago.
- 3:21Speaker 4: And it was cold, maybe two years ago, but it
- 3:23Speaker 4: was cold.
- 3:23Speaker 2: The whole June.
- 3:25Speaker 4: Yeah, it was it was cold. You know. It's funny
- 3:28Speaker 4: that you said in June. I remember an old Orson
- 3:32Speaker 4: Wells High Rate. It's an old radio show he was
- 3:35Speaker 4: doing in England, and uh, he was reading copy and
- 3:39Speaker 4: then he would stop every now and then, and who
- 3:41Speaker 4: wrote them? Anyway, One of the lines was, you know
- 3:44Speaker 4: something something happened in June, and he stopped and said,
- 3:48Speaker 4: in June. Tell me how it's possible to be in June.
- 3:52Speaker 4: And this poor engineer, well, mister wells uh, we wrote
- 3:56Speaker 4: the copy it shouldn't be in June. And he went
- 3:58Speaker 4: on this whole time. I don't know what the point was.
- 4:02Speaker 4: Something grammatically, it's just I think he said during June, during,
- 4:07Speaker 4: during June, not in June. We're not in it. It's
- 4:11Speaker 4: during it's happening. That's my best.
- 4:13Speaker 2: Dorsan, Well, well done, don't have a terrible.
- 4:17Speaker 3: We're going to be in Spring Valley. Well, I don't
- 4:21Speaker 3: know if you're going to be in Spring Valley, but
- 4:22Speaker 3: if you are, Veronica invited you over to plan her
- 4:25Speaker 3: tomatoes because they're still impossible. So she's not done.
- 4:30Speaker 2: Get to work. Yeah, I get those either in the
- 4:35Speaker 2: pots or the ground.
- 4:36Speaker 3: Hey, Joyce wants to know why we can't buy mosquito
- 4:40Speaker 3: bits in California. She said she tried to order it
- 4:43Speaker 3: from Summit and they said, can't ship to her area.
- 4:46Speaker 2: You know what, I think we know some people at Summit.
- 4:48Speaker 2: Maybe we should give them a break.
- 4:50Speaker 4: Well, there's nothing in the product that mean it's harmless.
- 4:53Speaker 2: You know what, though it goes back to California.
- 4:56Speaker 3: We were talking about packaging.
- 4:59Speaker 2: Sometimes there's aims on a package and then they make
- 5:01Speaker 2: them pull the back or.
- 5:03Speaker 3: You haven't paid exactly, which is uh uh. The the
- 5:09Speaker 3: California e PA is different than the federal EPA, and
- 5:16Speaker 3: they use it as fundraising, to be honest, and so
- 5:20Speaker 3: everybody's got to pay extra for a California registration.
- 5:25Speaker 2: So no, I don't know why. You know bits would
- 5:29Speaker 2: be versus you know dunk not Well, we we will
- 5:37Speaker 2: try to find out for you.
- 5:38Speaker 4: I'm just looking around to make sure we're on videos,
- 5:41Speaker 4: good audio. I just text data and we good. How
- 5:43Speaker 4: do we sound? I don't know know why because our
- 5:47Speaker 4: engineers are always off site.
- 5:49Speaker 2: She's the she's the not to breakfast with the girls
- 5:52Speaker 2: right now?
- 5:53Speaker 4: Why are you bothering me?
- 5:54Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 5:54Speaker 4: Okay, we should be talking about the show. What do
- 5:58Speaker 4: we have in store for people today?
- 5:59Speaker 3: Tiger?
- 6:00Speaker 2: So we have Corey Hansen from Fox Farms when he
- 6:02Speaker 2: could join us, talk about fertilizers, talk about soils, talk
- 6:06Speaker 2: about the difference between dry fertilizer and liquid fertilizer. Wind
- 6:11Speaker 2: to use a particular one maybe so you know, it's
- 6:14Speaker 2: that perfect time because you know, they say you should
- 6:18Speaker 2: fertilize after frost, after it's cold, start fertilizing. So now
- 6:24Speaker 2: is the time here when we start fertilizing our gardens
- 6:27Speaker 2: keeping up with that. So we're gonna have Corey from
- 6:30Speaker 2: Fox Farm.
- 6:30Speaker 4: Joins, there you go. So Facebook life that means questions
- 6:33Speaker 4: comments that it is warming up? Who's still cold? Any
- 6:36Speaker 4: states still experiencing any Alaska? Well, Alaska. That's like saying
- 6:42Speaker 4: any states experiencing warm weather Hawaii?
- 6:45Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, cold is relevant. Carlo says that she
- 6:49Speaker 3: liked the quote of the week, oh yeah, which was Proverbs,
- 6:53Speaker 3: Proverbs thirty one twenty eight, right, and the quote was
- 6:56Speaker 3: her children rise up and call her blessed her husband
- 7:00Speaker 3: and also and he praises her in honor of Mother's Day.
- 7:04Speaker 4: There you go, big hon her of Mother's Day. A
- 7:06Speaker 4: couple of minutes to the first break, and then we'll
- 7:08Speaker 4: get Corey on board here. Barring any technical issues problems.
- 7:14Speaker 2: I've never I don't know, not very good Catholic, but
- 7:19Speaker 2: Tassia participated in her school of make round for the
- 7:24Speaker 2: blessed mother a crowning. I think like like they put
- 7:26Speaker 2: a reading crown, and I was like, I've never heard
- 7:29Speaker 2: that before, but it's interesting. You honor the mother.
- 7:34Speaker 4: Way to go to to preface that statement, I had
- 7:37Speaker 4: a good Catholic however, you know, well good for good
- 7:41Speaker 4: for her, and yeah, all the people surrounding the situation. So, uh,
- 7:50Speaker 4: let's see here.
- 7:51Speaker 3: What I got something big coming up Monday.
- 7:57Speaker 4: Tiger's he have to wait till Monday.
- 7:59Speaker 3: Tiger's coming over.
- 8:00Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you're actually you.
- 8:02Speaker 2: Know, we're gonna make a rose garden at John's house.
- 8:04Speaker 4: That was part of your schedule on your phone, wasn't it.
- 8:07Speaker 4: It was You're gonna make a rose garden.
- 8:09Speaker 3: Yep, he promised you beat me.
- 8:11Speaker 2: Hopefully he has some roses.
- 8:13Speaker 4: John beat me to that. Now is it any theme
- 8:16Speaker 4: to this, like particular roses? Uh, just everything in the
- 8:19Speaker 4: ground you doesn't know what to do with.
- 8:22Speaker 3: No, we finally are gonna start the overall landscaping, putting
- 8:26Speaker 3: things in the ground. So this is excuse me, phase one.
- 8:31Speaker 3: Then phase two. Uh, Shannon wants a lawn in the back,
- 8:36Speaker 3: and Tiger.
- 8:37Speaker 4: Will do that and face you know what I'm all for.
- 8:39Speaker 3: Lawns lines are very relaxing, very screen is soothing.
- 8:46Speaker 4: Would you have lawns all throughout the property?
- 8:50Speaker 2: Go ahead, Tiger, which kind of grass did you want?
- 8:53Speaker 2: I think of you? Would you ever just do the
- 8:57Speaker 2: dwarf rescue and then just never.
- 9:01Speaker 3: You know, you're talking about the triple door. Yes, I've
- 9:07Speaker 3: had that before and it is so weak that it
- 9:11Speaker 3: doesn't do well. Yes, it's been my experience.
- 9:14Speaker 4: Yeah, well I hope we do well during this double dwarf.
- 9:18Speaker 3: I don't have a problem less.
- 9:20Speaker 4: We're going to take a break for our friends on

- 9:40Speaker 4: and ahead of YouTube for that.
- 10:06Speaker 5: Staud, Welcome back to the Garden America Radio Show with Brian,
- 11:09Speaker 5: John and Tiger.
- 11:12Speaker 4: Well, okay, here we are. We are back live. We've
- 11:15Speaker 4: been live all morning. Actually it is Garden America and
- 11:17Speaker 4: Kasha just joining us. I'm Brian Maine, John Magnasco, Tiger
- 11:20Speaker 4: Palla Fox We've got Corey standing by Tiger. So we
- 11:23Speaker 4: muddled through the first segment with the audio and some
- 11:26Speaker 4: of the video. You're still punching buttons. Let's see if
- 11:28Speaker 4: we can actually pull this off in the year twenty
- 11:30Speaker 4: twenty five.
- 11:31Speaker 2: I just want to punch buttons so I can look important.
- 11:33Speaker 4: You're an important guy.
- 11:34Speaker 2: Come on this morning. We have Corey Hanson joining us
- 11:37Speaker 2: from Fox Farm Soil and Fertilizers. Corey, good morning, thanks
- 11:41Speaker 2: for being a part of the show.
- 11:43Speaker 6: Good morning, thanks for having me.
- 11:45Speaker 2: Yeah, so Corey, tell us a little bit about your
- 11:48Speaker 2: role with Fox Farm and what Fox Farm is.
- 11:50Speaker 6: To start off, Uh, yeah, So, Fox Farm started out
- 11:54Speaker 6: in Humboldt County, California in the eighties by Willie who
- 11:58Speaker 6: is still our CEO. I've been with Fox Farm for
- 12:01Speaker 6: about five years now. I am the Southwest rep, so
- 12:06Speaker 6: I'm down in San Diego. And yeah, Fox Farms dedicated
- 12:11Speaker 6: producing finess, soil mixes, fertilizers, microbrewed liquid plant foods for
- 12:16Speaker 6: the garden. And we do pride ourselves on our quality
- 12:19Speaker 6: and consistency and our customer service.
- 12:22Speaker 2: And so you know, we've talked about your your product
- 12:25Speaker 2: here on our show for quite some time now. John's
- 12:27Speaker 2: always been a big, big advocate for the Ocean Forest
- 12:31Speaker 2: and the Happy Frog soil mediums.
- 12:34Speaker 3: Literally thousands of bags I've purchased.
- 12:37Speaker 4: Literally literally now we love it. I love it.
- 12:41Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, so, you know I think that was
- 12:45Speaker 2: was that kind of a one of the initial products
- 12:49Speaker 2: that Fox Farm released or did they do other products
- 12:52Speaker 2: before they did potting soils and soil.
- 12:57Speaker 6: So that is one of one of the original potting soils.
- 13:00Speaker 6: We also have an original planting mix, but Ocean Forest
- 13:05Speaker 6: is definitely one of the original recipes. And there's a
- 13:13Speaker 6: little difference between that and the Happy Frog potting soil.
- 13:15Speaker 6: That's actually a question I get asked quite a bit
- 13:18Speaker 6: if you would like me to kind of tell a
- 13:20Speaker 6: little difference between.
- 13:21Speaker 3: The two these do, yeah, other than price.
- 13:26Speaker 6: So, yeah, the Ocean Forest that one is because it
- 13:30Speaker 6: is an older recipe. That one doesn't contain the microiza
- 13:33Speaker 6: which Happy Frog does have the hmic acid microizons beneficials.
- 13:37Speaker 6: But Ocean Forest has a really awesome blend, great nutrient package,
- 13:42Speaker 6: a lot more nitrogen. It's got the fish, the moulton,
- 13:44Speaker 6: it's got tab meal, shrimp meal help so that one's
- 13:47Speaker 6: going to have a larger nutrient package and I personally,
- 13:50Speaker 6: actually I mix them together sometimes at home when I'm
- 13:53Speaker 6: planting things.
- 13:54Speaker 2: Makes it a little bit more cost effective for sure. Orld. Yeah,
- 14:00Speaker 2: so speaking of ocean forests in the sense of you
- 14:03Speaker 2: know what you said the ingredients, Fox Farms uses a
- 14:06Speaker 2: lot of ocean based fish based products for their fertilizers, right,
- 14:12Speaker 2: And that's different from some other brands.
- 14:16Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 14:16Speaker 6: I can't speak too much for all the other brands,
- 14:18Speaker 6: but definitely for Fox Farm, we are about quality of ingredients.
- 14:22Speaker 6: So you are are dry fertilizers are fish.
- 14:26Speaker 2: Based, but I mean what I'm what I was meaning
- 14:30Speaker 2: at is like you know, maybe some are more manure
- 14:32Speaker 2: based or or you know, other other products besides the
- 14:36Speaker 2: fish based, right.
- 14:38Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 14:38Speaker 6: So yeah, we stay away from that and in the
- 14:41Speaker 6: Happy Frog Dry Okay.
- 14:44Speaker 2: So one of the questions I have for you this morning, Corey,
- 14:48Speaker 2: is liquid versus dry fertilizers. You know, you guys have
- 14:52Speaker 2: both a great selection of both. First off, just tell
- 14:57Speaker 2: us a little bit about what would be the the
- 15:00Speaker 2: biggest difference besides one is liquid and one dry.
- 15:07Speaker 6: Yeah. So we do have our liquids lines and we
- 15:09Speaker 6: have our like I said, our Happy Frog Dry fertilizers.
- 15:14Speaker 6: There's also you know, a solubles which are technically dry,
- 15:18Speaker 6: but those they are going to you know, be water soluble.
- 15:20Speaker 6: So I'll more so talk about the different spinning of
- 15:22Speaker 6: liquids than are the Happy Frog dry fertilizer. A couple
- 15:26Speaker 6: of differences would be like the application, frequency of use,
- 15:30Speaker 6: and potency. So with your liquid fertilizers, you know you're
- 15:34Speaker 6: going to be mixing them in with water and then
- 15:36Speaker 6: applying it to the soil of the plant or possibly
- 15:38Speaker 6: doing a FULLI or spray, whereas the dry fertilizer you're
- 15:42Speaker 6: going to sprinkle it onto the soil and strack it
- 15:44Speaker 6: into the surface and then water it in. So then
- 15:48Speaker 6: the frequency it's going to be the liquids you're going
- 15:51Speaker 6: to be using more frequently, so probably at least couple
- 15:54Speaker 6: of times a week feeding your plants, whereas the dry
- 15:58Speaker 6: is going to kind of stay in the soil and
- 16:00Speaker 6: work with the soil and you don't have to apply
- 16:02Speaker 6: that generally once a month right around there. And then
- 16:06Speaker 6: potency wise, the liquids are generally more potent because they
- 16:11Speaker 6: are designed for immediate nutrient uptake for the plant, so
- 16:15Speaker 6: you're you're directly feeding the plant, whereas the drys are
- 16:19Speaker 6: going to be working in with the soil breaking down
- 16:22Speaker 6: and then the plant can take in nutrients as needed.
- 16:25Speaker 2: Oh okay, so why you know, I mean you kind
- 16:29Speaker 2: of did a great job of explaining the two. And
- 16:31Speaker 2: but why would the liquid be like a more frequent
- 16:37Speaker 2: Is it just because, like you say, you mix it
- 16:39Speaker 2: with water and kind of goes through the plant, and.
- 16:41Speaker 6: So as you water, it's gonna you know, reach it
- 16:44Speaker 6: out where the dry is going to stay and work
- 16:47Speaker 6: in with the soil. So the liquid you're gonna you're
- 16:51Speaker 6: gonna be, you know, more consistently feeding the plant to
- 16:54Speaker 6: give it what it needs directly to the plant, whereas
- 16:56Speaker 6: the other one's gonna be there available to it as
- 16:59Speaker 6: you water.
- 17:00Speaker 2: What would be a key reason why one person would
- 17:02Speaker 2: choose yeah, one over the other, meaning like oh like
- 17:06Speaker 2: like I mean, you kind of laid it out in
- 17:07Speaker 2: the sense of liquids more immediate, maybe more responsive. But
- 17:11Speaker 2: is there other reasons why somebody would use a liquid
- 17:13Speaker 2: versus a ry dry?
- 17:16Speaker 6: Yeah? I mean generally, I think some of it comes
- 17:19Speaker 6: down to personal preference and your gardening style. You know,
- 17:22Speaker 6: are there people that want to be out mixing their
- 17:25Speaker 6: liquids a couple of times a week, really being involved
- 17:28Speaker 6: with all that of their plant, or you want to
- 17:30Speaker 6: just be you know, hit it once a month and
- 17:32Speaker 6: it's all happy and ready to go. We even have
- 17:35Speaker 6: a time release dry fertilizer that you only have to
- 17:37Speaker 6: apply to maybe three times in the year wow throughout
- 17:41Speaker 6: your season. So some of those kind of depend on
- 17:45Speaker 6: you know, how often you want to be doing that,
- 17:47Speaker 6: and once you're doing some of it will depend on
- 17:49Speaker 6: the plant feeding schedule. So if you want to have
- 17:52Speaker 6: a specific feeding schedule, I would say, like if you
- 17:56Speaker 6: have your liquids, we have our what we call our
- 17:59Speaker 6: base tree. So there's Fox Farms Big Bloom, and then
- 18:03Speaker 6: Grow Big and then Tiger Bloom and as a trio
- 18:07Speaker 6: big Bloom you can use all the time from a
- 18:11Speaker 6: you know, a little feed lane to a mature plant.
- 18:13Speaker 6: That one's a lot of earthworm castings back guano, and
- 18:16Speaker 6: that one is an organic liquid. And then you have
- 18:20Speaker 6: your Grow Big, which is a liquid nitrogen. So that's
- 18:22Speaker 6: when you're targeting that nice blush, thick vegetative growth. So
- 18:27Speaker 6: that's what when the plants in that stage, you know
- 18:30Speaker 6: what you're giving it is the nitrogen getting that lush
- 18:33Speaker 6: growth and then Tiger Bloom would be your liquid phosphorus.
- 18:36Speaker 6: So that's for your blooms and fruits. So using a
- 18:41Speaker 6: liquid it can be a little more control over the
- 18:45Speaker 6: nutrients and make nice little cocktails for your plants during
- 18:49Speaker 6: what stages they're in. Whereas the dry so we have
- 18:54Speaker 6: our Happy Frog dry line. So whatever you're growing, we
- 18:57Speaker 6: have a specialty. So if you're doing you know, stitch
- 19:01Speaker 6: your savocado, we have a stitch of s avocado mix. Yeah,
- 19:04Speaker 6: it's tomato vegetable mix. They have a fruit and flour
- 19:06Speaker 6: mix and acid levers so those ones, like I said,
- 19:09Speaker 6: will work into the soil and just create an optimal
- 19:13Speaker 6: condition for that plant. Yeah, taking nutrient perfect.
- 19:17Speaker 2: Hey, Corey and at that we are going to take
- 19:19Speaker 2: a break right now. When we get back, we'll continue
- 19:22Speaker 2: chatting with Corey Handsome from Fox Farm Soil and Fertilizers
- 19:25Speaker 2: about what to use, how to use and when to
- 19:28Speaker 2: use it.
- 19:28Speaker 4: And why would you use it in all those things?
- 19:31Speaker 4: All right, we are going to take a break at
- 19:33Speaker 4: BIS Talk Radio, questions comments right there on Facebook. I'm
- 19:36Speaker 4: Brian Maine, Tiger Pellafox, got your own blend. I guess
- 19:39Speaker 4: according to Corey, right, Tiger Bloom and then John's got
- 19:42Speaker 4: Big Bloom. We'll return after these messages. BIS Talk Radio, Gardener, Maryland.
- 20:11Speaker 5: Welcome back to the Garden America Radio Show with Brian,
- 20:14Speaker 5: John and Tiger.
- 20:16Speaker 4: Ran back here with your friends, your garden buddies on
- 20:19Speaker 4: Garden America. As we continue, glad you're joining us. Learning
- 20:22Speaker 4: a lot about the different fertilizers, different products that Corey offers,
- 20:26Speaker 4: and again it's always an education for us as well. Tiger.
- 20:29Speaker 2: Yes, Corey before the break was kind of saying when
- 20:32Speaker 2: to use or why you would want to use maybe
- 20:34Speaker 2: the difference between a liquid and fertilizer.
- 20:36Speaker 3: And I think we were talking about when not to use.
- 20:40Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, which John has an excellent story regarding this courey.
- 20:45Speaker 2: So John, tell tell us your situation with the grow
- 20:48Speaker 2: Big product.
- 20:49Speaker 3: Well, we used to ship tomato starts around the country
- 20:55Speaker 3: and we were shipping on a Monday. This was Friday,
- 20:59Speaker 3: and before I went home, I saw these tomatoes are
- 21:02Speaker 3: just too small. Yeah, So I put some grow bake
- 21:06Speaker 3: on them, thinking, you know, by Monday they'll they should
- 21:09Speaker 3: be perfect. Well, Tiger and I came in Monday in
- 21:13Speaker 3: the plants were double the size.
- 21:15Speaker 4: Of the box over a weekend.
- 21:17Speaker 3: For a weekend, there was just no I mean, obviously
- 21:19Speaker 3: I probably put on two US, but it was unbelievable.
- 21:24Speaker 2: But the big problem was is that they have to
- 21:26Speaker 2: fit into this clamshell that we ship them, and so
- 21:29Speaker 2: now we couldn't fit them in the clamshell to ship them.
- 21:32Speaker 2: So they were too big for us.
- 21:33Speaker 6: Though, good problem sometimes, I guess, yeah.
- 21:36Speaker 2: Exactly, But I think also Cory, you know when you
- 21:40Speaker 2: were talking about, you know the difference in users of
- 21:45Speaker 2: the liquid versus the dry. I am. I'm a I'm
- 21:50Speaker 2: a reactive fertilizer person.
- 21:53Speaker 4: E what does that mean?
- 21:55Speaker 2: Which means that I look at the yard, I'm like, ooh,
- 21:58Speaker 2: I should problem, I should probably put some fertilizer. Like
- 22:01Speaker 2: I'm not like on a schedule. I don't go out
- 22:03Speaker 2: there the first of the month and like drop down
- 22:05Speaker 2: my fertilizers and things like that. I like, I'm like
- 22:08Speaker 2: looking at the plants and like, ooh, they should probably
- 22:11Speaker 2: have some food.
- 22:12Speaker 4: And so for the liquid, how was that raising your kids?
- 22:15Speaker 2: Yeah, same way, the same way, And so for the
- 22:18Speaker 2: liquid verus dry, Like I feel like the dry is
- 22:21Speaker 2: very good for people that you know, just want to
- 22:24Speaker 2: put that fertilizer down on a regular basis. They get
- 22:27Speaker 2: on a schedule. It's always there, like you're saying, for
- 22:29Speaker 2: the plant. Me, the liquid is always on my shelf
- 22:33Speaker 2: because there's always that plant that needs fertilizer right then
- 22:37Speaker 2: and there. And it gives me that ability to do that,
- 22:40Speaker 2: you know, which is which is nice. And I see
- 22:41Speaker 2: results right away, like John saying, with the grow big,
- 22:44Speaker 2: you can see results in a matter of days, which
- 22:46Speaker 2: is pretty cool.
- 22:48Speaker 6: Yeah, definitely. And that's actually another good point for using liquid.
- 22:52Speaker 6: If you do notice a deficiency and a plant, you know,
- 22:57Speaker 6: you'd want to go out and grab a liquid to
- 23:00Speaker 6: start correcting that right away. I've used to have a
- 23:03Speaker 6: lot of people to talk about start to see, you know,
- 23:05Speaker 6: maybe some blossom menra on your tomato plants. Grab you know,
- 23:10Speaker 6: we have a stock farm has an organic cowmag you
- 23:13Speaker 6: can apply it to it. So, yeah, deficiencies and things
- 23:17Speaker 6: like that, you need the immediate results, and I would
- 23:20Speaker 6: deal with a liquid.
- 23:22Speaker 2: And this is going to be kind of a tough
- 23:26Speaker 2: question to answer, but I mean, you know, if somebody
- 23:30Speaker 2: is seeing an issue with the plant, you know, let's
- 23:32Speaker 2: just say nitrogen deficiency, it's very easy. The plant's overall yellow,
- 23:36Speaker 2: you know, and you know, you kind of know what
- 23:38Speaker 2: you need to do. What is a good general rule
- 23:43Speaker 2: in the sense of using something like, you know, if
- 23:45Speaker 2: you're going to see if you're gonna put down liquid
- 23:48Speaker 2: on your tomato that's kind of a yellow. Should it
- 23:51Speaker 2: be a couple of days you see results? Should it
- 23:54Speaker 2: be a week or two? You know? And then for
- 23:56Speaker 2: dry you know, what is a turnaround time for that?
- 24:00Speaker 2: Because that's another question I think people have, is they
- 24:02Speaker 2: like win, you know, because sometimes they don't know the problem,
- 24:06Speaker 2: so they also don't know what to put on, so
- 24:07Speaker 2: they put things on there, but then they don't see
- 24:09Speaker 2: the plant change. So what you know, what do you
- 24:11Speaker 2: kind of tell people in that regard?
- 24:14Speaker 6: Well, yeah, that is a good question because with gardening,
- 24:18Speaker 6: as you know, I mean, there's so many variables of
- 24:20Speaker 6: plant size, depending on if you're talking about correcting like
- 24:24Speaker 6: a little house plant versus maybe a you know, big
- 24:27Speaker 6: mature all or something. But yeah, time wise, I would
- 24:35Speaker 6: say that you should start seeing some results, uh, within
- 24:39Speaker 6: the you know, within the week, within days of doing
- 24:42Speaker 6: a liquid on smaller stuff. That's a good question, though
- 24:47Speaker 6: I would almost have to say that we have a
- 24:50Speaker 6: we do have a great customer service to the product
- 24:52Speaker 6: specialist teams on our website. People could reach out to
- 24:56Speaker 6: you if they have very specific questions. But yeah, time wise,
- 24:59Speaker 6: that's that is a good question. But definitely the liquid
- 25:02Speaker 6: they're going to be much faster than the drives will
- 25:04Speaker 6: have to break down first and then get us into
- 25:06Speaker 6: the plant.
- 25:07Speaker 2: Yeah, because you know, John, you've you've addressed this before
- 25:10Speaker 2: with like you know, chemicals within like plants, like a
- 25:14Speaker 2: pesticides and things like that, where it's amazing actually how
- 25:17Speaker 2: quick plants absorb things and get it to like like
- 25:21Speaker 2: you're saying, like a like a tree, which has shocked
- 25:23Speaker 2: me because you know plants all, you know, plants to people,
- 25:26Speaker 2: they always seem slow, like, oh this takes years, this
- 25:30Speaker 2: takes you know, ten years or whatever it is to develop.
- 25:32Speaker 2: But like, but when it comes to absorbing something like
- 25:35Speaker 2: a fertilizer, like to get it from the roots to
- 25:38Speaker 2: the top of a tree is just a matter of
- 25:41Speaker 2: hours or days sometimes, right, John, you were saying, right, and.
- 25:46Speaker 3: Like Corey was saying, it depends a lot, depends anyway
- 25:50Speaker 3: on the plant you're putting it on. Yeah, you know,
- 25:53Speaker 3: like the tomatoes reacted quickly.
- 25:55Speaker 2: Yeah, so that you know it's it's plants move quicker.
- 25:59Speaker 2: It's actually with the liquids then we even realize it,
- 26:02Speaker 2: you know sometimes, So.
- 26:03Speaker 4: Hey, Court, let me ask you this. Could you could
- 26:06Speaker 4: a plant, let's let's use the term O D if
- 26:09Speaker 4: you gave it both at the same time. And I
- 26:11Speaker 4: don't know why you would do that, But if you
- 26:12Speaker 4: gave it both liquid and the other, what what happens?
- 26:15Speaker 2: Were gardeners and we want to know why?
- 26:16Speaker 4: Well, that's exactly right.
- 26:18Speaker 6: The limit. Yeah, well, I mean definitely with the drys
- 26:22Speaker 6: you're much less likely to have any burn if you
- 26:26Speaker 6: if you did slightly overuse something with a with a
- 26:30Speaker 6: liquid concentrate. You do want to pay attention to the
- 26:34Speaker 6: rate on the back of the bottle because if you
- 26:37Speaker 6: overdo it on some of the concentrates and liquids, then
- 26:41Speaker 6: you can start to see you know, leaf burn or
- 26:45Speaker 6: you know other issues arise. Like you said, O ding
- 26:49Speaker 6: the plant just too much for it. So you just
- 26:52Speaker 6: always want to be you know, reading the back and
- 26:55Speaker 6: applying it as recommended.
- 26:57Speaker 4: You know, John, I think we might have halfway answered
- 27:00Speaker 4: Carlo's question, right right. Carla from Okay no, why.
- 27:06Speaker 3: Does my voice sound like that. I don't, I don't
- 27:10Speaker 3: know what's going on in my ears. It sounds weird too.
- 27:14Speaker 4: You're you're okay if you have to clear your throat. Yeah, anyway, you.
- 27:18Speaker 3: Know, I think it's all the eat. Well, there's nothing
- 27:21Speaker 3: you can do about it except get younger.
- 27:24Speaker 2: We can answer Carla's question.
- 27:25Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah. Back to Carlo's question. Carla wanted to
- 27:28Speaker 3: know if dry fertilizers would not burn the roots of
- 27:33Speaker 3: new plants, and and again, uh, pory. I think it
- 27:37Speaker 3: depends on the type, right, If they're uh, if they're
- 27:41Speaker 3: chemical fertilizers, they're going to be more likely to burn
- 27:46Speaker 3: the plants than if you have organic fertilizers that have
- 27:50Speaker 3: to break down. Is that correct?
- 27:52Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 27:53Speaker 6: Yeah, And that's what you know talking about our the
- 27:56Speaker 6: Happy Frog dry line is all organic and there's very little,
- 28:02Speaker 6: you know, very little chance to burn things with that one.
- 28:05Speaker 6: So that's I mean, that's what I use almost our
- 28:09Speaker 6: whole line on stuff. I got my roses, I've got
- 28:11Speaker 6: mymatos and made a vegetable fertilizer, so everything's thriving and
- 28:17Speaker 6: and I've never I don't have any any burning any issues.
- 28:20Speaker 6: Is all beautiful.
- 28:22Speaker 2: Hey, we have a we have another random question. I
- 28:24Speaker 2: don't even know if you have the answer to this squary,
- 28:26Speaker 2: but it is it is a fun maybe segues.
- 28:29Speaker 4: This Danus question.
- 28:30Speaker 2: Yeah, how did how did they come up with the
- 28:32Speaker 2: name Fox Farm?
- 28:37Speaker 6: That is a good question, I believe, actually I believe
- 28:39Speaker 6: it was a name of the road or out where
- 28:45Speaker 6: where Willy was. But I would actually have to.
- 28:49Speaker 2: Better find that out for exect that one. Yeah, that's
- 28:52Speaker 2: funny fox farm.
- 28:54Speaker 4: It but it does sound like, you know, some road
- 28:57Speaker 4: down in the middle of nowhere, some land somebody purchased.
- 29:00Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly right out there, just where I live on
- 29:03Speaker 2: Fox Farm. But then, but then, they really have really
- 29:06Speaker 2: neat names for all their products too. I mean ocean forest,
- 29:10Speaker 2: happy fraud, happy fraud, you know, tightier blue.
- 29:14Speaker 6: Of our liquids. We have our Holy Mackerel fish fertilizer.
- 29:17Speaker 6: We have our help me help you, our help.
- 29:20Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. So they have a lot of fun
- 29:23Speaker 2: with all of the names on the product.
- 29:25Speaker 4: You got a Corey, you got to come up with
- 29:27Speaker 4: something with toad, you know, terrible toad or something.
- 29:29Speaker 6: You know, I'll toss it out there.
- 29:32Speaker 4: Sure we have what a minute before we got about
- 29:37Speaker 4: a minute before the next break.
- 29:38Speaker 2: Before the next break, and and I wanted to kind
- 29:40Speaker 2: of lead into the soils now because you know, Corey,
- 29:45Speaker 2: we were talking earlier in the week. You guys have
- 29:48Speaker 2: some new product blends that you're gonna do. But you know,
- 29:52Speaker 2: we've been talking a lot about the fertilizers. But you know,
- 29:56Speaker 2: just to a lot of people, Fox Farms has been
- 29:59Speaker 2: soiled ocean course, Like we talked about the Happy Frog.
- 30:02Speaker 2: You know, the different blends, and you guys have gone
- 30:06Speaker 2: to great links to make sure that you have blends
- 30:09Speaker 2: for people, whether it is containers or whether it is
- 30:12Speaker 2: a planting mix, to be able to improve it. And
- 30:16Speaker 2: when we get back from the break, I want to
- 30:18Speaker 2: get into number one, you know what products you guys
- 30:23Speaker 2: have out there for what situations? And then number two,
- 30:26Speaker 2: you know what are some new things that we can
- 30:28Speaker 2: look forward to hitting the market soon.
- 30:30Speaker 4: Okay, one more segment. If you're on a bistalk radio
- 30:33Speaker 4: listening at BIS Talk Radio, next segment will be the
- 30:35Speaker 4: final one for hour one. We all got to come
- 30:37Speaker 4: back with Corey more information and the more questions comments
- 30:40Speaker 4: on Facebook Live as Garden America continues back after these messages.
- 30:43Speaker 4: As we've said for so many decades, so many years
- 30:46Speaker 4: here on Guarden America.
- 31:16Speaker 5: Welcome back to the Garden America Radio Show with Brian,
- 31:19Speaker 5: John and Tiger.
- 31:21Speaker 4: Okay, back from that great that fantastic break, great break.
- 31:24Speaker 4: Hope you had a good one. Lots of beads anyway,
- 31:28Speaker 4: a little reference there. So again, if you are Bistalk
- 31:30Speaker 4: Radio listening to us on BizTalk Radio, this is the
- 31:32Speaker 4: final segment. News will be coming up top of the hour.
- 31:35Speaker 4: We come back at six minutes after Facebook Live. We
- 31:38Speaker 4: just go right on through, so we continue Tiger with
- 31:40Speaker 4: Corey and more questions.
- 31:42Speaker 2: Hey Corey, before we get into the soils, we did
- 31:44Speaker 2: have a question come from one of our listeners named
- 31:46Speaker 2: Tanya and said, I recently found some water soluble fertilizer
- 31:50Speaker 2: in my shed that was many years old. Would this
- 31:53Speaker 2: strength be diminished because it is old? And I think
- 31:57Speaker 2: that's something that you and I had kind of discussed
- 32:00Speaker 2: earlier in the week two about you know, when people
- 32:02Speaker 2: buy these products, you know, is is there a timeframe
- 32:05Speaker 2: they need to use them?
- 32:07Speaker 6: Well, for stocks farm products specifically, we generally have a
- 32:13Speaker 6: two to four year lifespan on those, you know, a
- 32:16Speaker 6: lot of our products, but they do vary from product products,
- 32:21Speaker 6: but a general lifespan i'd say two to four years.
- 32:25Speaker 2: And and does that mean that like after two to
- 32:28Speaker 2: four years it's just maybe less effective, maybe less effective.
- 32:33Speaker 6: Yeah, it'll be it'll be less you know, it'll become
- 32:36Speaker 6: less and less potent. I would say, gotcha over time.
- 32:40Speaker 2: Yeah. And it's just because you know, I mean it's
- 32:43Speaker 2: you know, a product and it begins to diminish, you know,
- 32:46Speaker 2: in the reacting to air and all that. Right, Uh
- 32:51Speaker 2: you know, why why is it not like you know,
- 32:54Speaker 2: wine where it ages better? Yeah? Can you imagine? Can
- 32:56Speaker 2: you imagine? Like, oh man, I've got this bottle of
- 32:58Speaker 2: grow big.
- 33:00Speaker 4: You can't use it for five years.
- 33:01Speaker 2: It's been sitting in my it's been sitting in my
- 33:03Speaker 2: garden shed for the past twenty five years. I think
- 33:06Speaker 2: it's perfect.
- 33:06Speaker 3: Right now, old mine turns to vinic.
- 33:08Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. You got to hit that right,
- 33:10Speaker 2: that right exactly?
- 33:12Speaker 3: Yeah, difference between age and vinegar.
- 33:17Speaker 2: But uh so so Yeah, Corey. Potting potting and planting mixes.
- 33:22Speaker 2: First off, you guys do both. Where some are meant
- 33:25Speaker 2: for pots, some is meant for actually amending, right, yes,
- 33:29Speaker 2: so what are what are the products you guys have.
- 33:32Speaker 6: So we talked about the Happy Frog potting soil on
- 33:34Speaker 6: the Ocean Forest potting soil. We also have one called
- 33:38Speaker 6: Strawberry Field, which is our fruiting and flowering soil. Helps
- 33:42Speaker 6: promote a little more blooms and fruits for whatever you're doing.
- 33:48Speaker 6: Great for pino berries and melons, bulbs. And then we
- 33:52Speaker 6: also have our Cocoa Loco which has cocoa core in
- 33:57Speaker 6: it and it helps retain moisture a little bit better
- 34:00Speaker 6: for some of those hot areas. And that one also
- 34:03Speaker 6: contains you know, earthworm castings, back guano and our custom
- 34:06Speaker 6: blend of soil microbes, so all, you know, they're all
- 34:10Speaker 6: really great soils. They they can have their own purposes.
- 34:14Speaker 6: Like you know, if you're doing hanging baskets, you might
- 34:16Speaker 6: want something that's going to hold the water in a
- 34:19Speaker 6: little bit better than in a pot, so maybe use
- 34:23Speaker 6: the Coca Loco for that. And then as far as
- 34:25Speaker 6: our planting mixes, we do have our original planting mix,
- 34:29Speaker 6: so that's for you know, when you're installing some plants,
- 34:31Speaker 6: put stuff into the ground. You want to amend the soil,
- 34:35Speaker 6: and our planting mixes you know, earthworm castings back guanos
- 34:39Speaker 6: helps amend the soil. And we also have a Happy
- 34:43Speaker 6: Frog Soil Conditioner which I really love this product. It
- 34:47Speaker 6: helps them mend existing guard beds. So if you're you know,
- 34:51Speaker 6: using your raised beds and then you need to freshen
- 34:54Speaker 6: them up and get some more nutrients and stuff back
- 34:57Speaker 6: in there. Our Happy Frog Soil condition Or contains a
- 35:02Speaker 6: chemic acids and the soil microbe, so it really freshens
- 35:05Speaker 6: it back up and go ahead. You can also use
- 35:09Speaker 6: that one, which I do like. I have my rose
- 35:12Speaker 6: wells with my roses in them, and I like to
- 35:14Speaker 6: wake them up and spring with a nice layer of
- 35:16Speaker 6: Happy Frog Soil Conditioner and just lay like a you know,
- 35:20Speaker 6: nice layer of that around all those and water it
- 35:22Speaker 6: in well.
- 35:23Speaker 2: Kind of like a molt or something just on top.
- 35:25Speaker 6: Yeah, kind of just helps wake everything up and get
- 35:27Speaker 6: the soil popping.
- 35:29Speaker 2: And then we were talking earlier in this week that
- 35:32Speaker 2: you guys are going to also be releasing a new product.
- 35:34Speaker 6: Then right, yeah, yeah, we are. Actually I'm very excited
- 35:36Speaker 6: about this. So we are releasing our Fox Farm Raised
- 35:42Speaker 6: bed mixed. So it's going to be you know specially
- 35:46Speaker 6: blended for fruit, flowers, veggies, herbs. It's ready for planting.
- 35:51Speaker 6: You don't really have to add anything to it. For
- 35:53Speaker 6: down the road you want to add your fertilizers. And
- 35:57Speaker 6: it contains back going over from castings and helps her
- 36:00Speaker 6: tame moisture in the raised bed. So it's going to
- 36:02Speaker 6: be a an awesome product. I'm excited to use it myself.
- 36:07Speaker 2: What would be some differences between a potting soil and
- 36:11Speaker 2: a planting mix and then a raised bed.
- 36:15Speaker 6: So I generally tell people like, you can technically mix
- 36:21Speaker 6: some potting soil if you're doing something in the ground
- 36:25Speaker 6: or you know, obviously containers, but you don't want to
- 36:28Speaker 6: do the other way around and use like a planting
- 36:30Speaker 6: mix and a pot It's really more for a mending
- 36:35Speaker 6: the soil and and and just creating a nice you know,
- 36:38Speaker 6: home for the plant. But it's not ideal for a container.
- 36:44Speaker 6: So you know, usually the potting soils will have more
- 36:47Speaker 6: of like furli and narration and just to have everything
- 36:51Speaker 6: it needs for a nice soil structure for a plant
- 36:55Speaker 6: living in a container, gotcha. And then a raised bed mix.
- 37:00Speaker 6: You know this one. I haven't got to ease it yet,
- 37:03Speaker 6: but I'm very excited. Some of them will have fur light,
- 37:06Speaker 6: which will kind of sometimes it can float to the
- 37:09Speaker 6: top of them blow away. So we're just doing a
- 37:11Speaker 6: little something different and and just having some chunkier pieces
- 37:14Speaker 6: in there, but of just chunkyr age fourst.
- 37:18Speaker 2: Products Okay, cool? Yeah, And I mean raised beds are
- 37:21Speaker 2: so popular right now with people that are doing gardens,
- 37:24Speaker 2: So you know, having that blend for them ready to
- 37:27Speaker 2: go is going to be really important because you know,
- 37:29Speaker 2: like you say, a lot of people out there go oh,

- 41:14Speaker 4: if she wasn't going to be there, I'm happy to
- 41:16Speaker 4: house it for you. Dana has never been there.
- 41:19Speaker 3: Can you imagine we've invited you several times.
- 41:22Speaker 4: No, we're ready for the next.
- 41:24Speaker 2: Brian just doesn't want to drive.
- 41:25Speaker 4: Here's what I'm thinking, Tom, what do you mean drive?
- 41:27Speaker 2: You're my driver, That's what I'm saying.
- 41:29Speaker 3: Doesn't want to like changing the trains.
- 41:33Speaker 2: I don't like them. You know what.
- 41:34Speaker 4: I don't like getting held up with the fruit inspection
- 41:37Speaker 4: just through you know, I've kind of gotten to know
- 41:41Speaker 4: some of those guys. Anyway, did we miss any questions
- 41:43Speaker 4: that maybe we can answer?
- 41:45Speaker 3: Dana says that we should do the show from your patio.
- 41:47Speaker 4: Brian, Oh, yeah, because there's a lot of room out there.
- 41:50Speaker 3: Didn't we do it there one time?
- 41:53Speaker 4: I think we did? You know, we we could actually,
- 41:56Speaker 4: we could actually I think it was before. Maybe we didn't.
- 41:59Speaker 4: Now we could do it and we'd be surrounded by
- 42:02Speaker 4: nothing but plants around us.
- 42:05Speaker 2: In the jump.
- 42:06Speaker 3: What's wrong with that?
- 42:07Speaker 4: There's nothing. The more I think about that, we could halfway.
- 42:10Speaker 4: It wouldn't be as long for you to drive. Hm.
- 42:15Speaker 2: Something to think about, maybe.
- 42:16Speaker 4: Something to think about. Well, they've got to fix the
- 42:20Speaker 4: but we get a whole of California state support. Beam
- 42:23Speaker 4: balconies are a dangerous thing kind of going on.
- 42:25Speaker 2: I don't want to have something falling on my head,
- 42:27Speaker 2: you know.
- 42:28Speaker 4: So they when they get that fixed, that is when
- 42:31Speaker 4: I will approach you to do the tiling outside. I
- 42:33Speaker 4: can't do anything until they give it to the beams.
- 42:35Speaker 2: Definitely don't want to do anything. Don't want something falling down.
- 42:39Speaker 3: Dana says, we'd be surrounded by plants and duff poop
- 42:42Speaker 3: ooh yummy.
- 42:44Speaker 4: Well definitely I got it, man. These doves have we've
- 42:47Speaker 4: got four or five generations.
- 42:50Speaker 2: What's that you don't them?
- 42:51Speaker 4: We're working on it. But see, here's the thing. When
- 42:53Speaker 4: they're born. They don't leave. They may go maybe one
- 42:57Speaker 4: hundred yards away, but they all come back.
- 43:00Speaker 2: And that haying basket isn't big enough for multiple generations.
- 43:04Speaker 4: Well they're not using that, and they're actually using the birdhouse.
- 43:07Speaker 4: Oh nice, we hung that is cool.
- 43:09Speaker 2: They have a birdhouse.
- 43:10Speaker 4: Here's the thing. We bought a birdhouse for doves online
- 43:14Speaker 4: a couple of two or three years ago apartment and
- 43:16Speaker 4: I'm thinking, I'm not going to use this. They're going
- 43:19Speaker 4: to go back to the basket. Nope, they've been using it.
- 43:22Speaker 2: What's the birdhouse look like? It's just a little How
- 43:25Speaker 2: big is it? Is it a bigger than a mailbox?
- 43:28Speaker 4: Now, it's actually small. I didn't think that they would
- 43:31Speaker 4: be comfortable in there, or she would be comfortable, but
- 43:33Speaker 4: they make it work. Maybe if I send this to
- 43:36Speaker 4: you can you can post this on Oh here it
- 43:38Speaker 4: is right here? That that's it empty?
- 43:40Speaker 2: Oh wow, No, that's not very big.
- 43:43Speaker 4: Do you want to put the camera on that?
- 43:44Speaker 2: Sure?
- 43:47Speaker 4: So we must have I don't know if that's a
- 43:49Speaker 4: good representation. Is that showing up? Yeah? They can see that. Yeah,
- 43:58Speaker 4: just a train so so we see we see the
- 44:02Speaker 4: you know, laying the eggs.
- 44:04Speaker 3: Oh, I was picturing a little hole.
- 44:07Speaker 2: Yeah, birds to go in the balcony.
- 44:10Speaker 4: No, it's so we got the whole. They got a
- 44:11Speaker 4: little chimney fireplace and there we've we've really we've done
- 44:13Speaker 4: it up really well.
- 44:14Speaker 2: Their subscription TV Amazon.
- 44:18Speaker 4: But they actually they use it. But see all the
- 44:21Speaker 4: kids now that are teenagers and young adults, they still
- 44:24Speaker 4: hang around. And of course we have the fountains, so
- 44:25Speaker 4: they had a place to take a bath and drink water.
- 44:28Speaker 4: It's it's a whole thing, you know.
- 44:31Speaker 2: It's funny is you have both were worlds inside your
- 44:37Speaker 2: home is cats outside and fish and fish, and then
- 44:41Speaker 2: outside you got these birds. Yeah, and fish too. That's
- 44:44Speaker 2: so right you have. It's almost like you've created this
- 44:48Speaker 2: predator prey situation.
- 44:50Speaker 4: Oh wait, one more, we have a cockatialed in the
- 44:53Speaker 4: house as well. You do, yes, Oh my goodness, Riley,
- 44:56Speaker 4: it's a rescue. Did I tell you the story? A
- 44:59Speaker 4: couple of years ago, I get a phone call him
- 45:00Speaker 4: here at work from a friend of mine. I've known
- 45:02Speaker 4: them for years. She says, Hey, how you doing. I'm like, oh,
- 45:05Speaker 4: I haven't talked to you in a while. What's going on?
- 45:07Speaker 3: Well?
- 45:07Speaker 4: I know that you used to have birds you know,
- 45:10Speaker 4: you had exotic birds back in the day, and friends
- 45:12Speaker 4: of ours found this bird up in Santa Nofre by
- 45:14Speaker 4: the railroad track. It's a cockatial and he's been with
- 45:18Speaker 4: us for a week or so. We don't know what
- 45:19Speaker 4: to do with him. We don't know do you want him?
- 45:22Speaker 4: I said, sure, just didn't even ask. Dana, didn't even
- 45:25Speaker 4: look at the bird.
- 45:26Speaker 2: I see a I see a trend in how Brian
- 45:30Speaker 2: acquires They even plants, right, I'm staying like out buy
- 45:35Speaker 2: trash cans. Yeah, down by the railroad tracks. They so quiet.
- 45:40Speaker 4: It brought the bird over. We didn't know if it
- 45:42Speaker 4: was a male or female. I said, let's call the
- 45:45Speaker 4: bird Riley. That way, the name works once we find
- 45:48Speaker 4: out there's a female.
- 45:49Speaker 3: My son just got a dog. He named it Wiley.
- 45:53Speaker 4: No Riley.
- 45:54Speaker 3: Oh yeah, this dog is Wiley.
- 45:56Speaker 4: Like wiley. E coyote or wild coyote is.
- 45:58Speaker 3: Wiley because it was almost it was a puppy almost
- 46:01Speaker 3: killed by a coyote. Okay, they call them wildly perfect.
- 46:06Speaker 4: Well, so this bird is is not a bird for
- 46:09Speaker 4: somebody who's looking for a cuddly beyond my shoulder, you know,
- 46:12Speaker 4: kiss you kiss, say this bird is a female is
- 46:17Speaker 4: in a constant state of wanting to see the manager.
- 46:20Speaker 4: That's the best way I could describe this bird's personality.
- 46:25Speaker 4: I mean it's everything's on her terms and it's fine.
- 46:28Speaker 4: So anyway, it goes back to what you were talking about,
- 46:30Speaker 4: is the.
- 46:31Speaker 3: How does the bird get along with the cats?
- 46:33Speaker 4: Yeah, the bird actually likes the cats. The cats are
- 46:37Speaker 4: way you know, first, the cats are like, what's this?
- 46:39Speaker 4: This belongs outside? Why did you bring a bird in?
- 46:41Speaker 4: This belongs now? It's just like, you know, they're like whatever.
- 46:44Speaker 4: They all sleep together the same room. They're like, you know,
- 46:47Speaker 4: whatever do you?
- 46:47Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 46:48Speaker 2: What?
- 46:48Speaker 3: I what?
- 46:48Speaker 4: I would I leave the house and let the bird
- 46:50Speaker 4: out with the cats? Probably not good?
- 46:54Speaker 2: Is the birds? What do they call it? Their wings?
- 46:58Speaker 4: Yeah? We clip the wings and then and also the
- 47:02Speaker 4: turn out.
- 47:02Speaker 2: On your patio and it can just hang out on
- 47:04Speaker 2: your patio, could you.
- 47:07Speaker 4: I mean with the wings clipped?
- 47:08Speaker 2: Yeah, like it's not gonna fly away right yeah?
- 47:10Speaker 4: Probably? Yeah, we we haven't, but yeah we probably could.
- 47:13Speaker 4: I don't know how the other birds would react or
- 47:15Speaker 4: how she would react to the wild birds.
- 47:17Speaker 3: Yeah, you could clip the wings of the doves.
- 47:22Speaker 4: Isn't there a song called wing wings? Out dove.
- 47:25Speaker 3: Find out what happens when doves.
- 47:26Speaker 4: Isn't there there?
- 47:27Speaker 2: You go thank the movie like we bought a zoo.
- 47:30Speaker 2: This is that after you?
- 47:32Speaker 4: And yeah, really so so you're right. The birds outside
- 47:35Speaker 4: the fish, the bird inside the cats. We just need
- 47:38Speaker 4: a dog rounded off.
- 47:41Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if I'd go that far for
- 47:42Speaker 2: you stay away from the dog, cats, dogs and birds
- 47:46Speaker 2: in all in one house.
- 47:48Speaker 4: Dana said she was kidding about the poop part. No, no,
- 47:51Speaker 4: you weren't, No, you weren't. You got the hose, the
- 47:54Speaker 4: jet spray hose out there we have.
- 47:58Speaker 2: They're not doves, they're the smaller ones. I think there
- 48:01Speaker 2: comes some kind of sparrow that make the little mud
- 48:04Speaker 2: mud nests.
- 48:06Speaker 4: But they make those are finches, right finch?
- 48:08Speaker 2: Is it a finch? Oh, they make the mud nets.
- 48:10Speaker 3: I thought they were swallowed.
- 48:11Speaker 2: Swallow maybe anyway, the smaller birds they make the mud
- 48:15Speaker 2: nest up in our in our pool, in this like
- 48:19Speaker 2: cave area that we have. And it's so frustrating because
- 48:22Speaker 2: it's so messy, you know, with the mud and the
- 48:24Speaker 2: bird in there, and then all that stuff just falls
- 48:27Speaker 2: right into the pool right.
- 48:28Speaker 4: There, and who cleans that? You were the pool.
- 48:29Speaker 2: Guy. I mean, we both do because it's just so messy.
- 48:33Speaker 2: You know, during the time of year that they're there
- 48:35Speaker 2: frequenting it. They're only there a certain time of year,
- 48:38Speaker 2: just like but years are there year round. The mine
- 48:40Speaker 2: aren't there all the time.
- 48:41Speaker 4: No, pretty much like I'd say, from February to the
- 48:44Speaker 4: end of summer, okay, and you know we can walk
- 48:46Speaker 4: outside now and they don't care. They don't you know.
- 48:48Speaker 4: The only birds that get scared and fly away at
- 48:50Speaker 4: the small one the robbins, the finches, but the doves
- 48:53Speaker 4: are like, yeah, what can I help you. I'm like, hey,
- 48:55Speaker 4: just going to clean up around here. Don't want We're
- 48:57Speaker 4: not gonna get your way.

- 49:02Speaker 3: a store and or has a store in San Juan Capistrano.
- 49:05Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and the swallows returned there every year. Yeah, because.
- 49:12Speaker 4: In March, right is it March?
- 49:14Speaker 3: Yeah? Well normally they go to the mission, right San
- 49:17Speaker 3: Juan Capistrano, and there's the famous song when the swallows
- 49:21Speaker 3: return to Capistrano.
- 49:22Speaker 4: All come back pray once a year.
- 49:25Speaker 3: Yeah, but they were they were doing earthquake restoration on
- 49:32Speaker 3: the mission mission and the swallow they were doing it
- 49:36Speaker 3: in the spring, so they were somewhere they disturbed the
- 49:40Speaker 3: swallows and they went over to Armstrongs. And then the
- 49:44Speaker 3: following year they came back to Armstrong So now they
- 49:47Speaker 3: I don't know if it's still going on, but they
- 49:49Speaker 3: were going there every year and some were still going
- 49:52Speaker 3: to the mission. Yeah, it's just that it was crowded
- 49:54Speaker 3: when they were doing the restoration.
- 49:56Speaker 4: It is break time once again. We can steer back
- 49:59Speaker 4: into plans. Sure, gardening, but you know nature. We you know, birds, cats, dogs,
- 50:05Speaker 4: birds all part of nature. Right, it is a break

- 50:52Speaker 4: we have returned from the break and we are back
- 50:55Speaker 4: at it. I guess we're caught up on the questions,
- 50:56Speaker 4: a lot of comments that we're talking about.
- 50:57Speaker 3: I have a chance to do a chew out to Hastan.
- 51:01Speaker 3: Thank you.
- 51:01Speaker 4: Hatana always tunes in. Yeah, what is it like?
- 51:04Speaker 3: Probably early evening Pakistani listener.
- 51:07Speaker 4: Yeah, I hope you're recruiting other listeners and viewers for ASTAM,
- 51:12Speaker 4: people from the nursery so on and so forth.
- 51:14Speaker 3: Well, you know, I've looked at our demographics and we
- 51:19Speaker 3: actually have a really big following in in India and Pakistan.
- 51:26Speaker 4: Really, yeah, what about Sri Lanka just south of me.
- 51:30Speaker 3: I don't know about Sri Lanka.
- 51:33Speaker 4: We can put our crack research team on that salon, right, Yes, sir,
- 51:38Speaker 4: what it used to be called. We're going to get
- 51:40Speaker 4: into that again. Istanbul kind Standinople, Miah.
- 51:45Speaker 3: Mar It's is stan Bull, not Gonstance.
- 51:48Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying. But the whole thing back and forth,
- 51:50Speaker 4: it used to be kne Standinople. You know why, they're
- 51:53Speaker 4: too many vowels.
- 51:56Speaker 2: That was.
- 51:57Speaker 4: That was the hangout that was.
- 51:58Speaker 2: That was just like, we gotta change it.
- 52:00Speaker 3: You know what why it was called Constantinople.
- 52:04Speaker 4: I have to do with.
- 52:06Speaker 3: The Holy Roman Empore.
- 52:07Speaker 4: Yeah exactly. I was gonna say, yeah, that's.
- 52:09Speaker 3: Where Constantine moved the capital from Rome to Istanbul. But
- 52:16Speaker 3: then it was constant.
- 52:21Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 52:21Speaker 4: There was too much to manage the Romans from they
- 52:22Speaker 4: gave up. It's just too much to manage and take
- 52:25Speaker 4: care of. And you know, when you're that big, it's
- 52:28Speaker 4: like a big company corporation, very easy to steal money.
- 52:33Speaker 3: It's amazing how many Roman ruins are all over the world, you.
- 52:36Speaker 4: Know, speaking when we were in France especially right, Oh yeah.
- 52:40Speaker 3: The aqueducts, remember those they were still standing. Was amazing
- 52:45Speaker 3: because those were pretty tall, right.
- 52:48Speaker 2: You're huge.
- 52:49Speaker 4: Yeah, and yet they didn't use mortar. Right from what
- 52:52Speaker 4: I recalled that everything is is placed perfectly. It's like geometry, trigonometry,
- 52:59Speaker 4: algae real. They used to do that, and like John
- 53:02Speaker 4: was still standing. No, no mortar, That's what I'm trying
- 53:06Speaker 4: to say. Yeah, and those olive trees were a thousand
- 53:09Speaker 4: years old, at least nine hundred, I think they said least.
- 53:14Speaker 3: Yeah, they were cool.
- 53:15Speaker 2: It was cool when we were in England and we'd
- 53:17Speaker 2: go through some of the castles and properties there and
- 53:20Speaker 2: they'd be like, oh, you know that tree, you know
- 53:22Speaker 2: survived World War one, World War two, you know this war,
- 53:27Speaker 2: you know that and all those other stuffs. You know
- 53:30Speaker 2: the history. To think that that was around all that
- 53:33Speaker 2: time ago, it's pretty cool.
- 53:35Speaker 4: Well, we did a hike two years in a row
- 53:37Speaker 4: up with the same guide I think John in Italy,
- 53:40Speaker 4: and we got up toward the top and we looked
- 53:42Speaker 4: down on this church and she said, oh, yeah, this
- 53:45Speaker 4: church was built in twelve fifty, well twelve fifty You
- 53:49Speaker 4: mean you mean like twelve, like twelve quarter after twelve
- 53:52Speaker 4: last year, or fifty minutes after whatever the time. But yeah,
- 53:57Speaker 4: I was like twelve, ten minutes to one.
- 54:00Speaker 3: A lot of history in Europe, yeah, twelve, not as
- 54:03Speaker 3: much in the US.
- 54:06Speaker 2: And a couple more years will be right there.
- 54:09Speaker 4: How are we doing on the Facebook questions?
- 54:16Speaker 3: Veronica says, it's going to go in another pot.
- 54:20Speaker 4: Okay, you're getting back to the original question.
- 54:23Speaker 3: Oh, let's see in her uh, I guess we need
- 54:27Speaker 3: her question. He wants to know if there's any tips
- 54:31Speaker 3: for her New Mother's Day rose plant. It's in a
- 54:35Speaker 3: five gallon pot called State of Grace.
- 54:38Speaker 4: Do you know about state of Grace?
- 54:42Speaker 3: I'm trying to think I have a rose called something
- 54:47Speaker 3: grace Grace.
- 54:49Speaker 4: Kelly is a.
- 54:53Speaker 3: Princess Grace Rose. How about Amazing Grace, Princess Demonica Rose?
- 55:00Speaker 2: Going into another pot? There you go, happy, Happy Frog
- 55:02Speaker 2: or Ocean?
- 55:03Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly right.
- 55:05Speaker 3: Well you know what I would personally recommend. I used
- 55:09Speaker 3: to only use Ocean for us, but then happy Frog
- 55:14Speaker 3: is a larger bag and less expensive. But now happy
- 55:19Speaker 3: Frog has got all those all those mac Rizie fungus
- 55:26Speaker 3: in it all the beneficial fungus. And it's perfect just
- 55:29Speaker 3: the way it is because you don't have to mix
- 55:30Speaker 3: it with anything. And I have a tendency two over water.
- 55:35Speaker 3: So the soil is the perfect better drainage, Yeah, really
- 55:41Speaker 3: good drainage. Didn't he say he had one? Or was
- 55:46Speaker 3: they had something with quar and yeah, that would hold
- 55:49Speaker 3: a little more moisture.
- 55:50Speaker 2: Cococ That one holds moisture. So if you're in hot
- 55:55Speaker 2: area or you don't water very frequently, it's a great.
- 55:59Speaker 4: So you you have a happy frog, don't you? I do,
- 56:03Speaker 4: because I remember the last time I went an ocean
- 56:05Speaker 4: forest and you brought me happy frog. Yeah, and now
- 56:08Speaker 4: I know why I like happy frog so much.
- 56:10Speaker 2: Yeah, great soil, Carla wrote Tiger. I bought a lovely
- 56:14Speaker 2: yellow ulster area at Mission Hills. I kind of man
- 56:17Speaker 2: handled it and repotting it. Any suggestions on how to
- 56:21Speaker 2: revive it? Is it okay in a pot? Or should
- 56:24Speaker 2: it be in the ground? Probably won't bloom again until next.
- 56:26Speaker 4: Wait, let's let's go back to I manhandled it, I know,
- 56:30Speaker 4: and now I needed to bring it back to life?
- 56:33Speaker 4: Or what Carla? What did you do?
- 56:35Speaker 3: Well?
- 56:35Speaker 2: Like I could see an ulstrom area. You know, if
- 56:39Speaker 2: you take it out of the pot, sometimes they can
- 56:41Speaker 2: kind of break apart a little bit, so, you know,
- 56:44Speaker 2: and they're very and they're very delicate, you know in
- 56:46Speaker 2: the bracts of the of the plants.
- 56:48Speaker 3: It depends how long they've been in the pot though,
- 56:50Speaker 3: because ye've got those thick, fleshy roots that pretty much
- 56:55Speaker 3: fill up the whole pot. I mean, you can do
- 56:57Speaker 3: almost any my experience, you can do almost anything.
- 57:00Speaker 2: Well, that's what I'm saying. They're very they're very tolerant.
- 57:03Speaker 2: Like I say, they break apart, but like you just
- 57:05Speaker 2: throw it in the ground and then it also regrows.
- 57:09Speaker 2: I don't know though about growing it in a pot.
- 57:12Speaker 2: What do you think, John, I think it's better than.
- 57:16Speaker 3: Them in pots for for up to two years before
- 57:20Speaker 3: I found a place to put them, huh, in small
- 57:23Speaker 3: pots where they if they put them in a bigger pot,
- 57:26Speaker 3: I'm sure they would have been fine. But they filled
- 57:29Speaker 3: up the small pots and they didn't look good and
- 57:33Speaker 3: you would swear the plant's dead. And then you put
- 57:35Speaker 3: it in the ground, got that big fleshy root system
- 57:38Speaker 3: and they just come back. Yeah, And I'll tell you
- 57:41Speaker 3: they it seems to me like they blew them on
- 57:43Speaker 3: and off throughout the year. The only thing that maybe
- 57:47Speaker 3: stops the bloom is really hot weather. By hot, I
- 57:51Speaker 3: mean like one hundred degree weather. But Carla being in
- 57:55Speaker 3: Huntington Beach, I don't think she's going to have that problem.
- 57:57Speaker 2: Yeah, And then I mean being in a pot though, too.
- 58:00Speaker 2: Isn't there the time of year where there's it's really nothing,
- 58:04Speaker 2: so you know, it's it looks like an empty pot,
- 58:07Speaker 2: which you know you might not want. So I don't
- 58:10Speaker 2: know what your goal is, Carla, whether it's you just
- 58:12Speaker 2: want to keep it in upon it definitely pretty much evergreen. Yeah.
- 58:16Speaker 3: What do they call that series? Is it the INCA Series?
- 58:21Speaker 2: I don't know, something like that. But yeah, so it's
- 58:24Speaker 2: just kind of a you know, like if you're just
- 58:27Speaker 2: doing what John does and just buys plants then takes
- 58:31Speaker 2: years to figure out what he's going to do with it, Yeah,
- 58:33Speaker 2: that's not a big deal.
- 58:34Speaker 3: But how well they come back once they're on the
- 58:37Speaker 3: ground in the.
- 58:37Speaker 2: Ground, though, I think that they'll it'll do much better
- 58:41Speaker 2: and it'll be happier if you put it in the ground.
- 58:44Speaker 3: I think Carla's brown spaces that. Yeah, is it worth
- 58:48Speaker 3: a few pots? But just put it in a larger pot.
- 58:51Speaker 3: It'll be fine.
- 58:52Speaker 2: You know.
- 58:52Speaker 3: Pat Welch told me this.
- 58:55Speaker 4: We've got a break coming up here. Do you want
- 58:56Speaker 4: to even know.
- 58:57Speaker 3: If Pat Welsh is still alive? Well, we discussed the Yeah,
- 59:00Speaker 3: come back to the break and I'll tell you what
- 59:02Speaker 3: you talk about.
- 59:03Speaker 4: Pat Well story. Yeah, after this break for biz Talk Radio,
- 59:06Speaker 4: it is Garden America. Two more segments coming up. Do
- 59:08Speaker 4: stay with us more to con Okay, thank here on
- 59:58Speaker 4: guard in America. You had a good break. We are
- 1:00:01Speaker 4: eagerly awaiting the Pat Welch story, John, So let's let's
- 1:00:04Speaker 4: get back to it and more garden questions and more
- 1:00:06Speaker 4: garden coming.
- 1:00:07Speaker 3: Well, Pat, what was the book she wrote? Was it
- 1:00:10Speaker 3: Southern California Gardening or something like that?
- 1:00:12Speaker 2: Something like that.
- 1:00:13Speaker 3: And she also wrote a book, by the way, an
- 1:00:15Speaker 3: interesting read called All My Eden's and Pat Welsh's father
- 1:00:21Speaker 3: in law I believe was Frank Lloyd Wright.
- 1:00:26Speaker 4: Really, oh really yeah? So I bet that she had
- 1:00:30Speaker 4: designs on him.
- 1:00:31Speaker 7: Huh.
- 1:00:33Speaker 3: I also saw her on antique road show really, and
- 1:00:40Speaker 3: she had brought in a painting, a portrait. It was
- 1:00:46Speaker 3: kind of large, almost the size of her, and they
- 1:00:50Speaker 3: were discussing the portrait the oil painting on Antiques Rose Show,
- 1:00:55Speaker 3: and they were talking about how it was by this
- 1:00:59Speaker 3: certain artists, but because it was a portrait and they
- 1:01:02Speaker 3: didn't know who the person was or it wasn't famous,
- 1:01:06Speaker 3: it wasn't going to have the value that another painting
- 1:01:09Speaker 3: by this artist would have. And so she looked like
- 1:01:13Speaker 3: she was preparing to, you know, for the fact that
- 1:01:18Speaker 3: it might be worth you know, five hundred dollars something
- 1:01:21Speaker 3: like that, and they said, so because of that, the
- 1:01:25Speaker 3: value is only going to be three hundred thousand dollars.
- 1:01:29Speaker 3: I thought she was going to.
- 1:01:30Speaker 4: Faint because because they couldn't identify who the painting was.
- 1:01:35Speaker 4: Because yeahject they.
- 1:01:36Speaker 3: Said, portraits usually don't bring as much as you know,
- 1:01:39Speaker 3: landscape paintings or paintings of something else. But I think
- 1:01:44Speaker 3: she was pleased anyway. Back to what she told me
- 1:01:48Speaker 3: on Ulster Area, she said, you know when the Ulsterrome
- 1:01:52Speaker 3: area are done blooming, they go to de seed, right, Tiger. Yeah,
- 1:01:57Speaker 3: if you grab that stem and pull it straight up
- 1:02:00Speaker 3: right from the ground, pull it out of the ground,
- 1:02:02Speaker 3: it'll ready bloom, right.
- 1:02:05Speaker 2: So you know, they don't trim them. They they say,
- 1:02:08Speaker 2: don't cut it because then it doesn't do that. Yeah,
- 1:02:13Speaker 2: because a lot of people who use ulstromeris for you know,
- 1:02:16Speaker 2: floral arrangements, and they go in there and they cut
- 1:02:18Speaker 2: all the flowers like they're dead heading, you know, or
- 1:02:21Speaker 2: they're trimming for the But then they say, don't do
- 1:02:23Speaker 2: that because they'll actually encourage them.
- 1:02:25Speaker 3: So Carlos plant should re bloom.
- 1:02:27Speaker 2: Oh for sure. Yeah, And like you said, most they're
- 1:02:32Speaker 2: tough and they bloom.
- 1:02:33Speaker 3: For a long time.
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: One.
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:02:35Speaker 3: I think that Inca series especially was really good because
- 1:02:41Speaker 3: it was midway between the Princess series, which were little
- 1:02:45Speaker 3: dwarfs and the tall floral ones which are kind of floppy.
- 1:02:51Speaker 2: Such pretty flower colors and cut.
- 1:02:54Speaker 3: Flower they just last Forever's cut flower.
- 1:02:57Speaker 4: You know what's interesting about years ago? Bruce had a
- 1:03:00Speaker 4: trivial question, a trivial question, and I think, and it's
- 1:03:05Speaker 4: you're supposed to guess the plan he was talking about.
- 1:03:07Speaker 4: And I want to say that he said something like,
- 1:03:10Speaker 4: I'll still marry you.
- 1:03:13Speaker 3: That sounds like something Bruce Wood right to get.
- 1:03:17Speaker 4: The answer to the Maria will I'll still marry you. Anyway,
- 1:03:21Speaker 4: it's weird what sticks in your mind that had to
- 1:03:23Speaker 4: be fifteen years ago? How are we doing.
- 1:03:28Speaker 3: I was wondering what, you know, sometimes they don't pay
- 1:03:31Speaker 3: attention during the show, and my mind, it's not that
- 1:03:34Speaker 3: I don't pay attention. I'm just thinking of other things.
- 1:03:38Speaker 3: What you guys are talking. So Carlos says, I knew
- 1:03:41Speaker 3: you'd pick up on that. Brian, I'm not sure what
- 1:03:43Speaker 3: you're talking about.
- 1:03:44Speaker 4: Because I I think just little words, keywords, you know,
- 1:03:50Speaker 4: or setting up a story, like because it's like she
- 1:03:52Speaker 4: glossed over it. Yeah, you know, because I man handled it,
- 1:03:55Speaker 4: not because well I get out of the car. Oh,
- 1:03:57Speaker 4: and you know, I'm man Well go back to the manhandle.
- 1:04:00Speaker 4: Give me some details. What do you mean by that?
- 1:04:02Speaker 4: You know, I just kind of glossed over it. So
- 1:04:04Speaker 4: she knew I would pick up.
- 1:04:05Speaker 3: On like the character in Seinfeld that woman man hands oh, manhand, Yeah,
- 1:04:11Speaker 3: cracking the breaking apart the lobsteria. Oh yeah, that would
- 1:04:17Speaker 3: be funny. Yeah. Rochelle also mentioned they are make great
- 1:04:24Speaker 3: cutch flowers. Yeah, probably one of the best cut flowers
- 1:04:27Speaker 3: out there.
- 1:04:27Speaker 7: Right.
- 1:04:28Speaker 3: Usually, if you have a bouquet that has anything.
- 1:04:31Speaker 2: In it, like the Last to Die, what would you
- 1:04:40Speaker 2: what would you get for Dana in a floral arrangement?
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: Brian is she had rose, carnation sunflower?
- 1:04:51Speaker 4: Okay, here we go again with my carnation. Where do
- 1:04:54Speaker 4: you even get a carnation anymore? In Floris? Really have them?
- 1:05:00Speaker 4: I just I just they don't seem to be as
- 1:05:02Speaker 4: popular as they used to be.
- 1:05:04Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm saying, but is because Dana is listening
- 1:05:09Speaker 2: and you don't know this answer.
- 1:05:12Speaker 4: Roses with sprinkled in with other arrangements of flowers. You know,
- 1:05:16Speaker 4: the roses would be the main course? Absolutely?
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: What about you? John? Would it be.
- 1:05:24Speaker 4: For Shannon? Would be? Would be hyda? Right?
- 1:05:27Speaker 2: Say it for him? I want to see what he's saying.
- 1:05:29Speaker 3: He knows, right, And I just think I made a
- 1:05:33Speaker 3: mistake because I always try to get things ahead of time.
- 1:05:37Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, So I found this.
- 1:05:39Speaker 3: Great hydranger that I thought she would really like and
- 1:05:42Speaker 3: it was growing in a decorative pot.
- 1:05:44Speaker 2: Okay, so I bought it.
- 1:05:46Speaker 3: And you know, because she works, she doesn't tour the property.
- 1:05:50Speaker 2: So I know, but if I just put it here,
- 1:05:52Speaker 2: she'll never see it.
- 1:05:53Speaker 4: I tour the pro I love that.
- 1:05:55Speaker 3: So I put it in back the house and I
- 1:05:57Speaker 3: figured she won't see it and I'll just bring it
- 1:05:59Speaker 3: out on mothers. Yeah, yeah, you know, I've got the
- 1:06:01Speaker 3: card and everything, and you know we had that high
- 1:06:05Speaker 3: nineties temperature. Yes, oh no, and the I watered the
- 1:06:11Speaker 3: plants so the plant was still fine, but the flowers
- 1:06:13Speaker 3: were a little fringed.
- 1:06:15Speaker 4: Yeah. Was it in direct sunlight?
- 1:06:17Speaker 3: No, it was under the shade of a eucalyptus tree.
- 1:06:20Speaker 4: But the issue that's a book.
- 1:06:22Speaker 2: But the issue with those hydranges right now is that
- 1:06:26Speaker 2: a lot of them are so are grown in such
- 1:06:28Speaker 2: a controlled environment that you do take them even if
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: you just take them outside sometimes.
- 1:06:34Speaker 3: And this was being sold indoors.
- 1:06:36Speaker 4: Yeah, forest mine is under the eve of the stairs
- 1:06:39Speaker 4: outside the front door, and it's doing very well. Yeah,
- 1:06:42Speaker 4: very well. Remember the high ranges we saw in Costa Rica. Yeah,
- 1:06:47Speaker 4: they weren't doing all that well. They were cooked. They
- 1:06:49Speaker 4: were in kind of in direct sunlight in some of
- 1:06:51Speaker 4: the places.
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny because it was a very common plant, right, Like,
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: they weren't that they weren't that great. Yeah.
- 1:06:59Speaker 3: Well here's a why I for you, Brian from Veronica.
- 1:07:02Speaker 3: Carnations are everywhere.
- 1:07:04Speaker 4: Yeah, I just have to look I put that. Let
- 1:07:12Speaker 4: me ask you this, then, what where can I get
- 1:07:14Speaker 4: carnation ice cream? Oh?
- 1:07:16Speaker 3: I haven't seen that for a long time.
- 1:07:18Speaker 4: Right, And there used to be a place on University Avenue.
- 1:07:21Speaker 4: It was a Carnation ice cream parlor. And you could
- 1:07:24Speaker 4: also like get Hamburgers and you know fast foods back
- 1:07:27Speaker 4: in the day.
- 1:07:28Speaker 3: You never lived in Detroit or Michigan.

- 1:07:45Speaker 3: cream that I didn't know.
- 1:07:46Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a beer ice cream.

- 1:07:52Speaker 3: ice cream. Yeah, Crows ice cream a long time ago.
- 1:07:57Speaker 4: Detroit Tigers.
- 1:07:58Speaker 3: Speaking of the Detroit Tigers, why are they so good

- 1:12:02Speaker 2: lot of that whole publicity and marketing goes out right
- 1:12:05Speaker 2: now for spring. In reality, for us in southern California,
- 1:12:08Speaker 2: spring is in March. But you know, so so a
- 1:12:11Speaker 2: lot of people come in and they're you know, looking
- 1:12:13Speaker 2: for the tomatoes, looking for the vegetables, looking for the petunias,
- 1:12:16Speaker 2: and like you say, John, like we're actually wrapping up
- 1:12:18Speaker 2: all that stuff. We really only have about four or
- 1:12:22Speaker 2: maybe five weeks left of that before we get into
- 1:12:24Speaker 2: our summer summer stuff. Anyways, but I will say this year,
- 1:12:29Speaker 2: the petunias, they've switched over from the classic annual platuna
- 1:12:34Speaker 2: to more that wave petunia style. So they have a
- 1:12:37Speaker 2: lot of different varieties of petunia fly, which is really
- 1:12:39Speaker 2: neat and it.
- 1:12:40Speaker 3: Will crazy crazy you guys carry crazy yeah, yeah.
- 1:12:44Speaker 2: Like the one. Yeah, So it's that I think petunias
- 1:12:47Speaker 2: have have really hit the market strong recent in the
- 1:12:51Speaker 2: past few years because of these changes they've made. It's
- 1:12:53Speaker 2: not the classic like annual platunia, big bloom, you know,
- 1:12:58Speaker 2: just that's what they are, you know, they're they're longer blooming.
- 1:13:02Speaker 3: You know, the substantial plants, yes, you know, the other
- 1:13:07Speaker 3: stronger right, the others were kind of flimsy.
- 1:13:10Speaker 2: Yeah, so a lot of really neat you know, the
- 1:13:13Speaker 2: blotchy ones. You know, we we we'll see if that
- 1:13:19Speaker 2: glow in the dark one ever hits really like the market,
- 1:13:23Speaker 2: you know, kind of a thing. But there's all kinds
- 1:13:25Speaker 2: of really neat stuff out there still in the petunia world,
- 1:13:29Speaker 2: but we are switching over to more of the the
- 1:13:32Speaker 2: summer plants, so the vinca, you know, the new guinea
- 1:13:36Speaker 2: and patients and things like.
- 1:13:37Speaker 3: One of our listeners had one of those.
- 1:13:40Speaker 7: I wonder how it worked out, Yeah, because that would
- 1:13:44Speaker 7: be I can't remember it might have been who it was,
- 1:13:51Speaker 7: but that.
- 1:13:51Speaker 2: Would be fun to have, I mean, just novelty, kind
- 1:13:55Speaker 2: of unique. I don't know how many, you know, how
- 1:13:58Speaker 2: how it would grow or how long it would last.
- 1:14:01Speaker 2: Be kind of cool. Take really good care of that though,
- 1:14:06Speaker 2: because I'd like to try to.
- 1:14:08Speaker 3: Make sure I use him to replace the solar lights
- 1:14:11Speaker 3: along your driveway.
- 1:14:12Speaker 2: Oh, there you go.
- 1:14:12Speaker 3: He's a petunia border.
- 1:14:15Speaker 2: How cool would that be? I have a whole driveway
- 1:14:17Speaker 2: lined with those, and then people drive up and there's
- 1:14:20Speaker 2: just all these glowing.
- 1:14:21Speaker 4: Now if you put a black light over it, would
- 1:14:22Speaker 4: they still blow?
- 1:14:24Speaker 2: I think so, because isn't that kind of like what's
- 1:14:26Speaker 2: in there that makes it? Is that inflorescence?
- 1:14:30Speaker 3: Kind of an oxymoron?
- 1:14:32Speaker 4: An oxymoron is somebody who drops out of Oxford University.
- 1:14:37Speaker 3: I was thinking a bright black light, black light.
- 1:14:41Speaker 4: Yeah, we had black like dark light. We had black
- 1:14:43Speaker 4: lights and black light posters back in the day.
- 1:14:47Speaker 3: I met a guy from Stanford one time who was
- 1:14:50Speaker 3: trying to make light heavy heavier and I and I
- 1:14:56Speaker 3: was joking around with them at lunch and I just said, well,
- 1:15:00Speaker 3: I said, if you made it heavier, wouldn't really be
- 1:15:03Speaker 3: light anymore.
- 1:15:05Speaker 2: He didn't.
- 1:15:06Speaker 3: I didn't think it was funny.
- 1:15:07Speaker 4: That because those guys, Yeah, just you know. I bet
- 1:15:12Speaker 4: he had a messy desk.
- 1:15:14Speaker 3: I don't know. It was neuro neurophysicist. Remember the story
- 1:15:18Speaker 3: I told you?
- 1:15:19Speaker 4: You remember his name? He fiddled right, No, well, Rome burned. No,
- 1:15:26Speaker 4: it's a thing on neuro Go ahead, yea.
- 1:15:28Speaker 3: His name was John beg Nasca.
- 1:15:32Speaker 2: Oh that's right, Yeah, I remember you guys met each other. Yeah, yeah, right.
- 1:15:38Speaker 4: I didn't think it was funny.
- 1:15:39Speaker 3: Huh, Yeah, I thought it was hilarious. I wonder that's
- 1:15:45Speaker 3: the difference between a a horticulturist and a.
- 1:15:51Speaker 4: But the joke you made was in his ballpark. It
- 1:15:55Speaker 4: was like, what you do, that's a great, it's a great.
- 1:16:01Speaker 3: At the time, I thought the same thing was Lisa,
- 1:16:07Speaker 3: She's going to take a picture when they were when
- 1:16:10Speaker 3: they're in bloom. She said, you just potted them?
- 1:16:13Speaker 2: What the.
- 1:16:16Speaker 3: Yeah, she said they she got three plants and.
- 1:16:20Speaker 2: Two and a half insas they haven't bloomed yet.
- 1:16:23Speaker 3: No, no, she just got them.
- 1:16:26Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, definitely that is going to be something
- 1:16:29Speaker 2: we'll have to highlight. We'll do a whole newsletter around you. Lisa.
- 1:16:33Speaker 2: You get some good pictures of that. See how they go.
- 1:16:37Speaker 3: Well, you know, we're on the show every week, so
- 1:16:40Speaker 3: all these things flow together to us, but some people
- 1:16:43Speaker 3: never Yeah, I have missed a few shows. So Linda
- 1:16:47Speaker 3: and reading also wants enough you can explain the glow
- 1:16:50Speaker 3: in the dark petunia.
- 1:16:52Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. We talked about it a few
- 1:16:55Speaker 2: months ago, and what it was was some breeders introduced
- 1:16:59Speaker 2: the the same what is it the in plankton in the.
- 1:17:06Speaker 3: Yeah, from from plankton. We can't think of the fluorescent
- 1:17:12Speaker 3: and blow right incandescent?
- 1:17:14Speaker 2: That No, that's a light bulb, right, what it's it's
- 1:17:17Speaker 2: what happens at the beach at night. Well, yeah, I
- 1:17:21Speaker 2: know when you water phosphorescence, that's what it is. They
- 1:17:26Speaker 2: they took the same phosphords phosphorescence from the gene, the
- 1:17:30Speaker 2: gene and the.
- 1:17:32Speaker 3: Petun Yeah.
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: And the platunia is a white flower, right, and and
- 1:17:36Speaker 2: it kind of from the pictures I saw, the foliage
- 1:17:39Speaker 2: was a little bit lime greeny. But the bloom or
- 1:17:44Speaker 2: the whole plant grows glows. You remember, I think it was.
- 1:17:47Speaker 2: I think it was the plant. Could be I think
- 1:17:50Speaker 2: it was the plant, and I don't think the bloom glowed.
- 1:17:54Speaker 2: This is very difficult to speak today, but you.
- 1:17:57Speaker 4: Know that here's the good part. It shows almost over
- 1:18:00Speaker 4: they've done the same thing to fish. You know they
- 1:18:02Speaker 4: have glowfish. Have you've seen those? They're like red, green, blue,
- 1:18:08Speaker 4: same thing. You put them under a black light and
- 1:18:09Speaker 4: you can see them. They glow.
- 1:18:11Speaker 2: Then they got.
- 1:18:14Speaker 4: A bunch of mad scientists back, you know, and some
- 1:18:16Speaker 4: you know, laboratory.
- 1:18:18Speaker 2: Little needles and inject them into the fish.
- 1:18:20Speaker 3: All right, that's it that Tanya says Tiger, that it's biolumines.
- 1:18:24Speaker 2: Biolumines, that's what it is.
- 1:18:26Speaker 4: What did I tell you? Every everything we have wondered
- 1:18:28Speaker 4: you today that we couldn't think about. Our viewers and
- 1:18:32Speaker 4: listeners have given us the answer. So on that note,
- 1:18:34Speaker 4: we're going to say goodbye before we can't think of
- 1:18:36Speaker 4: something else.
