- 0:22Speaker 2: Welcome back, my friends. Welcome to Garden America. How are you?
- 0:25Speaker 2: Hope everything is... Well, in your neck of the woods,
- 0:28Speaker 2: as we say, what did that expression come from? Your
- 0:30Speaker 2: neck of the woods. Your neck of the woods? Your
- 0:33Speaker 2: neck of the woods.
- 0:33Speaker 3: Is that neck like attached to your head neck?
- 0:36Speaker 2: I always picture a pathway going into the woods. Anyway,
- 0:39Speaker 2: this is Garden America. Right off the bat, we're off track.
- 0:42Speaker 2: Right off the bat.
- 0:42Speaker 3: We're talking about woods.
- 0:44Speaker 2: Okay. Bark, woods, trees, plants. Brian Main, John Bagnasco, Tiger Palafox.
- 0:49Speaker 2: Hope you had a good week. We are spending time
- 0:51Speaker 2: together on this weekend, John. Yes. And John, you look
- 0:54Speaker 2: at John.
- 0:54Speaker 3: Labor Day weekend.
- 0:55Speaker 1: John.
- 0:55Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
- 0:56Speaker 2: Happy Labor Day. Three-day weekend for a lot of people.
- 0:59Speaker 2: John's grinning. He got a lot of sleep last night.
- 1:01Speaker 2: Did you? You got eight hours, didn't you?
- 1:02Speaker 5: No, I did not.
- 1:03Speaker 3: You did?
- 1:03Speaker 2: Oh, so you're a bit giddy? Is that it?
- 1:06Speaker 5: I had seven hours of sleep.
- 1:07Speaker 3: Oh, goodness.
- 1:08Speaker 5: Which is pretty good.
- 1:09Speaker 2: You want to get closer? Do you want to get closer?
- 1:10Speaker 2: Let's scoot up here.
- 1:11Speaker 5: I would like to get closer. There you go.
- 1:13Speaker 2: We're a close-knit podcast. So anyway, what's going on, Tiger?
- 1:17Speaker 2: We finished our intro. Did I finish it?
- 1:20Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:21Speaker 2: I think so.
- 1:21Speaker 3: We're Garden America.
- 1:22Speaker 2: Yeah, Garden America. We established BizTalk Radio, Facebook Live.
- 1:26Speaker 3: John, Brian, Tiger. Right.
- 1:28Speaker 2: Can we bring something to your attention?
- 1:29Speaker 4: Mine?
- 1:30Speaker 2: Yes.
- 1:30Speaker 3: Yes.
- 1:31Speaker 2: As we walk down the pathway through your lovely yard.
- 1:34Speaker 3: Okay.
- 1:35Speaker 2: Some of the plant material looks a little crisp.
- 1:37Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, right? Well, I feel a little bit crisp.
- 1:42Speaker 2: No judgment. It's just, it's a reflection on the heat.
- 1:45Speaker 3: Well, and that that area has zero water.
- 1:49Speaker 5: Plus, Tiger's very proud of the fact that he uses
- 1:52Speaker 5: less water than a data center.
- 1:54Speaker 3: Exactly, exactly.
- 1:57Speaker 2: Yeah, so wow, right? They'll come back, though, right?
- 2:00Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, definitely. The status, like as soon as it
- 2:02Speaker 3: gets rain.
- 2:03Speaker 5: They're going to come back. Well, you know, two weeks ago.
- 2:05Speaker 2: We should tell people what we're referring to.
- 2:07Speaker 5: Yeah, Tiger has a lot of status.
- 2:11Speaker 2: He's got a lot of quo, too. What about the quo, John?
- 2:15Speaker 5: What about the quo?
- 2:16Speaker 2: Status quo, right?
- 2:17Speaker 5: Oh. You lost me there for a second. Okay, back
- 2:22Speaker 5: on track. So we're referring to the plant material. But
- 2:24Speaker 5: I was going to mention that you and I, about
- 2:26Speaker 5: two to three weeks ago, were walking up the pathway
- 2:29Speaker 5: looking at all the sea lavender status. And we were saying, wow,
- 2:35Speaker 5: look at how nice this came back. And then today
- 2:38Speaker 5: we come.
- 2:39Speaker 3: Looks like a fire went through it.
- 2:41Speaker 2: But it can take a beating and keep on ticking.
- 2:43Speaker 2: Or licking. Takes a licking and keep on ticking.
- 2:46Speaker 4: That's it.
- 2:46Speaker 2: Okay.
- 2:47Speaker 3: John. Yes. That status that I have growing out there.
- 2:52Speaker 5: That was a quote, by the way, from John Cameron Swayze.
- 2:55Speaker 2: Timex watch.
- 2:58Speaker 3: It reseeds or how does it reproduce? Like, in my yard.
- 3:05Speaker 5: You want to talk about this on air?
- 3:07Speaker 2: Okay, there's birds.
- 3:09Speaker 5: There's bees.
- 3:10Speaker 3: No, but is it seeds or is it plants?
- 3:13Speaker 5: It does come up from seeds.
- 3:15Speaker 2: It reseeds, right?
- 3:16Speaker 5: It does reseed. Matter of fact, I think in some
- 3:18Speaker 5: areas it's considered a noxious weed.
- 3:22Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's in my yard. It's a noxious weed.
- 3:24Speaker 5: It looks pretty, though, and it looks good.
- 3:26Speaker 3: But it's very confusing because, you know, like here, things
- 3:29Speaker 3: don't go completely dormant or go away.
- 3:32Speaker 5: So.
- 3:33Speaker 3: I'm thinking it's just a perennial plant that just keeps going.
- 3:37Speaker 3: But it grows in the cracks. It grows in a
- 3:39Speaker 3: lot of different places in the garden. So, yeah, I
- 3:41Speaker 3: figured it was seeds. But it's just all over the place.
- 3:45Speaker 3: And then once I take it out, it comes right back.
- 3:48Speaker 2: See, the beginning gardener should have that. It just kind
- 3:52Speaker 2: of takes care of itself, right?
- 3:54Speaker 3: Yeah, right.
- 3:55Speaker 2: You want something easy? Put these in, right? Yeah. Along
- 3:57Speaker 2: with your pothos.
- 3:58Speaker 5: I planted some cosmos this spring.
- 4:02Speaker 4: And.
- 4:03Speaker 5: And it all died out.
- 4:04Speaker 3: See, I was going to say, if you try to
- 4:05Speaker 3: do it, though.
- 4:06Speaker 5: Yeah, if it was hot, you know, the heat, I
- 4:10Speaker 5: don't know what it was. Not enough water, too much heat.
- 4:13Speaker 5: But anyway, I've got two huge plants right now that
- 4:16Speaker 5: came up from seed and are doing great.
- 4:18Speaker 3: See?
- 4:19Speaker 5: They naturalized. Well, I'm kind of wondering if it's because
- 4:23Speaker 5: of the varieties I put in were double. And I'm
- 4:29Speaker 5: wondering if the same... is this petunia thing where you
- 4:32Speaker 5: plant them in the ground.
- 4:33Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 4:33Speaker 5: Like they would have done good in a pot, but
- 4:35Speaker 5: in the ground, they're not going to do any good.
- 4:36Speaker 5: They're not going to do well. So when they went
- 4:38Speaker 5: to seed and seeds came up, they came back single and,
- 4:42Speaker 5: you know, more of the.
- 4:43Speaker 3: Like the more hardy variety.
- 4:44Speaker 5: Right.
- 4:46Speaker 3: And were they mixed colors or did you only have
- 4:50Speaker 3: like white or pink?
- 4:51Speaker 5: Well, that's in Shannon's pink and white garden. So they were,
- 4:54Speaker 5: I think I had both pink and white.
- 4:55Speaker 3: Okay.
- 4:56Speaker 5: The ones that are blooming now are purple.
- 4:58Speaker 2: Okay.
- 5:00Speaker 3: You know what I and I think I've talked about
- 5:01Speaker 3: this before, though, and I've been blown away by this
- 5:03Speaker 3: because like you said, the status just goes crazy. And
- 5:06Speaker 3: there's a Sclepius that grows all over my yard and
- 5:12Speaker 3: other other annual flowers that just take all over. I
- 5:16Speaker 3: got tomato plants growing in every nook and cranny of
- 5:19Speaker 3: my yard. Right. Oh, yeah.
- 5:20Speaker 5: I have a lot of tomatoes coming up everywhere.
- 5:22Speaker 3: Get my California poppies to just. naturalize in my yard.
- 5:26Speaker 2: You know what it's like kids when you try to
- 5:28Speaker 2: raise kids to do what you want.
- 5:29Speaker 3: Them to do they go against you.
- 5:30Speaker 2: And they just do what they're going to want to
- 5:32Speaker 2: do so if i.
- 5:32Speaker 3: Just neglect my california poppies.
- 5:35Speaker 5: You know it's like well you don't want to have
- 5:37Speaker 5: you have kids naturalized all over.
- 5:40Speaker 2: But the point is that some are going to behave
- 5:42Speaker 2: some aren't going to behave you know it's like well
- 5:44Speaker 2: why won't you do this i don't put any effort
- 5:46Speaker 2: over here and look how well he's doing or she's.
- 5:48Speaker 3: Doing We've got a couple questions already. Yeah.
- 5:52Speaker 5: Daisy wants to know, Tiger, why did all the leaves
- 5:55Speaker 5: start changing to their fall colors before the weather got cooler?
- 5:59Speaker 3: It's called singeing.
- 6:02Speaker 5: Because the weather got hot.
- 6:04Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 6:04Speaker 5: You know, that did it. But it's not usually temperature
- 6:10Speaker 5: that controls the changing of colors, but day length. So
- 6:16Speaker 5: as the days start to get shorter, they start to change.
- 6:19Speaker 5: And then you throw on that some type of a,
- 6:24Speaker 5: some type of weather change. Yeah.
- 6:25Speaker 3: And any little weather change.
- 6:27Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 6:28Speaker 5: And it can mix plants up.
- 6:29Speaker 3: Yeah. So, so like you said, like it's more about the,
- 6:34Speaker 3: the daytime hours and then, you know, weather does have
- 6:38Speaker 3: an effect on it, but you know, plants are plants.
- 6:42Speaker 3: Eternal clock is not just weather, right? If it was that,
- 6:47Speaker 3: plants would be all over the place. Can you imagine
- 6:49Speaker 3: if plants only determine their cycles on weather? Like it
- 6:53Speaker 3: has to be daylight hours, weather. It has to be
- 6:56Speaker 3: nighttime temperatures, not just daytime temperatures, but actual like nighttime temperatures.
- 7:00Speaker 2: You know, I thought I was really smart. And I,
- 7:01Speaker 2: when we told Dana, I go, look at all the
- 7:03Speaker 2: rose blooms we have. And I said, I think it's
- 7:06Speaker 2: the weather. I think because it's cooled off, you know,
- 7:09Speaker 2: that they started blooming. So when I met John here
- 7:11Speaker 2: this morning, I said, Hey, is that true? John goes,
- 7:14Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
- 7:14Speaker 5: Oh yeah.
- 7:15Speaker 2: The weather cooled down and they, They were happy to
- 7:17Speaker 2: bloom because prior to that, the last month, it didn't
- 7:20Speaker 2: look good.
- 7:20Speaker 3: Well, like John's saying, the rose has an internal device
- 7:24Speaker 3: too that knows if it blooms when the weather is
- 7:27Speaker 3: this hot.
- 7:28Speaker 2: It's not going to last.
- 7:29Speaker 3: Well, it's not going to do what it's supposed to do,
- 7:31Speaker 3: which is a flower is a reproduction thing. And plants know.
- 7:36Speaker 5: So you knew how that works.
- 7:39Speaker 3: Plants know if they're going to be successful or not.
- 7:42Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely. And they hold on to it.
- 7:44Speaker 3: So they could be the most successful, right?
- 7:47Speaker 5: In Palm Springs or Arizona, their summers are like winters.
- 7:53Speaker 5: The plants are, the roses are dormant. You just want
- 7:57Speaker 5: to keep them alive, basically. But, yeah, you don't want
- 8:01Speaker 5: to encourage heat or growth, and especially young growth in
- 8:04Speaker 5: that type of heat, because it'll burn. I had, you know,
- 8:08Speaker 5: rose leaves burn. And then also, chili thrips. Do you
- 8:13Speaker 5: have chili thrips?
- 8:14Speaker 2: That's our group, isn't it? The chili thrips?
- 8:16Speaker 3: The red-out chili thrips?
- 8:18Speaker 2: Chili thrips, yeah.
- 8:19Speaker 5: They're terrible.
- 8:20Speaker 2: John's roses, it gets so hot that they hold up
- 8:24Speaker 2: signs that says, we'll grow for water.
- 8:27Speaker 3: Goodness gracious. He waters his roses all the time. That's
- 8:30Speaker 3: all he does. Those are the best taking care of
- 8:33Speaker 3: roses ever.
- 8:35Speaker 5: Brian, this one's for you. Because Lisa is having a
- 8:40Speaker 5: yard sale today and she's selling flowers. Three varieties of
- 8:43Speaker 5: spider plants and a jade plant.
- 8:47Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 8:48Speaker 5: Those are the kind of plants you like.
- 8:49Speaker 2: Yeah, I do like them.
- 8:51Speaker 5: Okay, well, she's in Redding if you want to drive
- 8:53Speaker 5: by later.
- 8:54Speaker 2: It's too hot in Redding. It's way too hot. Oh,
- 8:56Speaker 2: by the way, they're finally getting around to fixing the
- 8:58Speaker 2: balconies and stuff.
- 8:59Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
- 9:00Speaker 2: Oh, after two years. What a process that's going to be.
- 9:03Speaker 2: When that's all said and done, we talk about paving.
- 9:06Speaker 3: Yeah, your patio, right?
- 9:08Speaker 2: Yeah, when that's done.
- 9:09Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 9:09Speaker 2: It's going to be the end of the year, probably
- 9:10Speaker 2: first of the year.
- 9:11Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 9:11Speaker 2: We got about a minute and a half until the
- 9:13Speaker 2: first break. Again, if you're just joining us, it's Garden America. Normally,
- 9:16Speaker 2: we talk gardening and horticulture and landscaping and water and
- 9:19Speaker 2: soil and dirt and leaves.
- 9:21Speaker 3: Bugs.
- 9:22Speaker 2: Bugs.
- 9:23Speaker 3: Flowers.
- 9:24Speaker 2: Bugs and flowers. What kind of bugs? You know what?
- 9:25Speaker 2: I'm getting bit by mosquitoes or something lately.
- 9:28Speaker 3: They've been talking about a lot of mosquitoes here in
- 9:29Speaker 3: San Diego.
- 9:30Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 9:30Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 9:30Speaker 3: You know, it's humid, hot, lots of, you know, water.
- 9:35Speaker 2: Standing water. Ever see water stand?
- 9:37Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 9:38Speaker 5: It could be bed bugs that are biting you.
- 9:41Speaker 2: No, we don't have bed bugs.
- 9:43Speaker 5: Are you sure? That's what everybody says.
- 9:45Speaker 2: No, because I look at, trust me, magnifying glass, mattress apart.
- 9:50Speaker 5: You've got animals, though. It could be fleas.
- 9:52Speaker 2: They don't have fleas. I guarantee it. We don't have
- 9:54Speaker 2: one flea in the house. Trust me. No.
- 9:56Speaker 3: Have you checked the fish tank? Oh, that's it. That's ridiculous.
- 10:00Speaker 3: coming from.
- 10:00Speaker 2: It's the fish.
- 10:01Speaker 3: That's where they're coming from.
- 10:02Speaker 2: No, we're, trust, we are just like, when it comes
- 10:04Speaker 2: to fleas and bugs, anything, you know.
- 10:07Speaker 3: I know you probably, I don't think we have enough time,
- 10:09Speaker 3: but I know you probably don't have bugs in your
- 10:13Speaker 3: fish tank, because that's probably not proper. But, like, there
- 10:17Speaker 3: are bugs that, like, you know, live in water. It
- 10:20Speaker 3: blows my mind, those little, like, bugs that, like, live
- 10:22Speaker 3: in water.
- 10:22Speaker 2: And stuff like that. Yeah, they live in it. You
- 10:24Speaker 2: know what I mean?
- 10:24Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. If you had bugs in your
- 10:26Speaker 3: fish tank, you'd be in trouble.
- 10:27Speaker 5: And you know what?
- 10:28Speaker 2: You're right. We don't have time. It's time for a break.
- 10:30Speaker 5: That's where mosquitoes live.
- 10:32Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely. We're going to take a break. Welcome to
- 10:35Speaker 2: Garden America. If you're just joining us, you're a little late,
- 10:38Speaker 2: but not that late. A lot of show left. Welcome
- 10:40Speaker 2: to those on BizTalk Radio having a good time broadcasting
- 10:42Speaker 2: from the pool house here in San Diego, Tiger's Pool House,
- 10:46Speaker 2: Brian Main, John Bagnasco. Tiger Palafox, I covered everybody. We're
- 10:49Speaker 2: going to take a break for BizTalk Radio. Stay with us.
- 11:06Speaker 6: Welcome back to the Garden America Radio Show with Brian, John,
- 11:10Speaker 6: and Tiger.
- 11:11Speaker 3: All right.
- 11:12Speaker 2: Welcome back from the break. Those on BizTalk Radio, we
- 11:14Speaker 2: appreciate you listening. Facebook Live, it's good to see everybody.
- 11:18Speaker 2: And so we continue right now searching for the quote
- 11:20Speaker 2: of the week. And John's going to do the handoff,
- 11:23Speaker 2: going to toss it to Tiger for the quote of
- 11:24Speaker 2: the week. Tiger, everyone's waiting for this. Don't mess it up.
- 11:28Speaker 3: All right. So it's very simple.
- 11:31Speaker 2: It's very simple.
- 11:33Speaker 3: Nothing is really work unless you would rather be doing
- 11:38Speaker 3: something else by J.M. Berry.
- 11:42Speaker 5: I think that's James Matthew Berry, right?
- 11:47Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 11:47Speaker 5: Well, it's the author of Peter Pan.
- 11:51Speaker 2: Oh. Peter Pan.
- 11:54Speaker 3: I thought it was like, nothing is really work. That's
- 11:58Speaker 3: why you, if you find the job you love.
- 12:01Speaker 2: If you find a job that you love, you'll never
- 12:03Speaker 2: work a day in your life.
- 12:04Speaker 3: Okay, yeah. So this is, was this quote before that.
- 12:07Speaker 5: Quote just come up with the quotes then it'd be
- 12:09Speaker 5: a lot easier for me you.
- 12:11Speaker 3: Know what i do i do you know though was
- 12:12Speaker 3: this quote before that quote or is this.
- 12:14Speaker 5: Quote peter pan was this was this.
- 12:17Speaker 2: This was much earlier earlier yeah right you know i
- 12:20Speaker 2: if i do quotes i never put my name next
- 12:22Speaker 2: to it i just i just feel it's too uh
- 12:26Speaker 2: what's the word um like Hmm. Look at me. I mean,
- 12:30Speaker 2: I did a quote.
- 12:31Speaker 3: Oh, like you're, you're like boasterous kind of a.
- 12:33Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't want to, I don't want to look
- 12:35Speaker 2: what I wrote.
- 12:36Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 12:36Speaker 2: So, you know. Puffery. What's it called?
- 12:39Speaker 5: Puffery.
- 12:40Speaker 2: I like that. You know who had more quotes than anybody?
- 12:43Speaker 2: And I think he lived in like the 1500s. Gentleman
- 12:45Speaker 2: by the name of Anonymous. Didn't he come up with
- 12:49Speaker 2: a lot of quotes?
- 12:49Speaker 5: I thought he was a Greek scholar.
- 12:50Speaker 2: Could have.
- 12:51Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 12:51Speaker 2: You're probably right. It probably goes back further than that. Anyway,
- 12:54Speaker 2: John's looking at some of the, go ahead. I'm sorry.
- 12:55Speaker 2: Go ahead.
- 12:56Speaker 3: Oh, Well, I was going to talk more about the newsletter.
- 12:58Speaker 2: We're looking at it right now. He's looking at the
- 13:00Speaker 2: pictures right now.
- 13:02Speaker 3: John has, in the newsletter this week, one of my
- 13:06Speaker 3: most favorite gardening plant stories. You know, the Johnny Appleseed story.
- 13:13Speaker 2: Johnny Appleseed, because they weren't meant to eat.
- 13:15Speaker 3: Well, no, but I mean, we learned about this as
- 13:18Speaker 3: kids growing up. We loved the story of Johnny Appleseed.
- 13:21Speaker 3: And we talk about non-puffery, non-pufferous. Johnny Appleseed was just around...
- 13:27Speaker 3: around spreading his.
- 13:29Speaker 5: Seed. Seed.
- 13:31Speaker 2: You know?
- 13:32Speaker 3: But, I mean, it was such, like, a neat story
- 13:33Speaker 3: to learn as a child, right? About this.
- 13:35Speaker 5: You know, it's because he was out of wild oats, Brian,
- 13:38Speaker 5: so he had to go to Appleseeds.
- 13:40Speaker 2: Do you think if your last name is Appleseed, your
- 13:42Speaker 2: life's pretty much been laid out for you?
- 13:44Speaker 3: But it was such a cool story.
- 13:46Speaker 2: Puffery.
- 13:47Speaker 3: And I'm envisioning, like, you know, these golden, delicious apples
- 13:50Speaker 3: just all over the countryside.
- 13:53Speaker 2: Cider, right, John?
- 13:54Speaker 3: You know, and all that. But, I mean, that's... When you...
- 13:57Speaker 3: If you've never took a deep dive into the Johnny
- 14:01Speaker 3: Appleseed story, I highly recommend it because you're going to
- 14:02Speaker 3: find out so many really neat, cool things and how
- 14:06Speaker 3: it wasn't a matter of like feeding the country. It was,
- 14:10Speaker 3: you know, like you're saying, like cider and, you know,
- 14:12Speaker 3: at the time and, you know, different things. Like it
- 14:14Speaker 3: was a different, it was a different reasoning than I
- 14:17Speaker 3: think most people think.
- 14:19Speaker 2: When you get an education, school pretty much scratches the
- 14:22Speaker 2: surface a little bit. You're talking about the deeper dive.
- 14:26Speaker 2: We don't have time for that. Go home and ask
- 14:28Speaker 2: your parents. But you're right as far as, you know,
- 14:32Speaker 2: Newton sitting under a tree and an apple fell on
- 14:34Speaker 2: his head. Hey, there must be gravity.
- 14:38Speaker 5: Yeah, and we all know the trouble that Eve got into.
- 14:42Speaker 2: Right?
- 14:43Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 14:43Speaker 3: Exactly. So the Johnny Appleseed story, it's in our newsletter.
- 14:47Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 14:48Speaker 3: Highly recommend reading it. Right. And if, you know, you
- 14:51Speaker 3: ever want.
- 14:51Speaker 5: Yeah, it's kids. I think you're referring to like we
- 14:53Speaker 5: all thought, you know, he went around planting seeds. So settlers.
- 14:59Speaker 2: Yes.
- 14:59Speaker 5: You know, as they, you know.
- 15:01Speaker 2: Would have something to eat.
- 15:02Speaker 5: Went out west, would have something to eat.
- 15:04Speaker 1: Right.
- 15:04Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 15:04Speaker 5: And so you picture, yeah. Nice, big, juicy apple.
- 15:08Speaker 3: Right. Exactly.
- 15:09Speaker 2: You're looking at Kevin's and Terry's garden.
- 15:12Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 15:12Speaker 5: And I was thinking, you know, this is their garden
- 15:14Speaker 5: in Coeur d'Alene. One of the what's growing in our
- 15:17Speaker 5: garden pictures in our newsletter. And that reminded me of you, Brian.
- 15:23Speaker 2: Getting lost. You know exactly.
- 15:25Speaker 5: That's the kind of garden you like.
- 15:26Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 15:27Speaker 2: And I'd be somewhere. I would find a place to
- 15:29Speaker 2: settle down a little nook or a cranny. I don't
- 15:32Speaker 2: know the difference between nooks and crannies. I'm still working
- 15:34Speaker 2: on that.
- 15:35Speaker 3: I always felt like nooks were a little taller and
- 15:38Speaker 3: crannies were just narrow.
- 15:43Speaker 2: A nook is a book, right? A book nook? What
- 15:45Speaker 2: is that?
- 15:46Speaker 5: No, it's a place, a taller place where you can
- 15:50Speaker 5: sit and read your book.
- 15:52Speaker 2: Okay.
- 15:53Speaker 3: But you're right.
- 15:53Speaker 2: You know that garden, John? You hit it right on
- 15:55Speaker 2: the head. Yeah.
- 15:57Speaker 5: And then who was it?
- 15:59Speaker 2: I covered their garden.
- 16:00Speaker 5: Barbara in San Marcos had a picture of her protea.
- 16:05Speaker 3: Absolutely stunning look at.
- 16:06Speaker 5: That i planted uh let's see i think this one
- 16:11Speaker 5: is pink mink but i think i planted a king
- 16:14Speaker 5: protea and i i one of those things i may
- 16:18Speaker 5: never see bloom you know because they just put in
- 16:21Speaker 5: a little.
- 16:22Speaker 3: One um what do you like brian a closed protea
- 16:27Speaker 3: flower like what you see in our newsletter this week
- 16:30Speaker 3: you know where it's like a little bit more tight Barbarian,
- 16:32Speaker 3: like right there? Barbarian, yeah, exactly. Or a fully opened
- 16:36Speaker 3: protea flower.
- 16:39Speaker 2: You know what? I would really, to make that, I
- 16:41Speaker 2: would like to see it side by side right now.
- 16:43Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 16:43Speaker 2: Because I've never thought of that. But I love that.
- 16:46Speaker 3: Because they're very different flowers.
- 16:48Speaker 5: Yes.
- 16:48Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
- 16:49Speaker 2: And you wouldn't even know it's the same one sometimes,
- 16:51Speaker 2: would you?
- 16:52Speaker 3: Yeah, because, I mean, you know, it's very different from
- 16:55Speaker 3: when they look. Because, like, when you go to the florist,
- 16:57Speaker 3: you usually find a lot of closed ones.
- 16:58Speaker 1: Right.
- 16:59Speaker 3: Because you want to buy a closed flower.
- 17:00Speaker 2: So that it opens.
- 17:01Speaker 3: So that it opens. But then when it ultimately does
- 17:04Speaker 3: open and you see all the parts of the flower
- 17:07Speaker 3: in there and then the colors, because right now that one,
- 17:09Speaker 3: I'd say more looks just pink.
- 17:11Speaker 2: You don't see all the colors.
- 17:12Speaker 3: But as it opens, you start to see all the
- 17:14Speaker 3: other colors in it.
- 17:15Speaker 2: Probably open.
- 17:16Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 17:17Speaker 2: Yeah, because I'm a color guy. I like colors.
- 17:19Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 17:19Speaker 2: Now, when you buy doors at Home Depot, they're always closed, right?
- 17:22Speaker 2: So when you get home, you can open them.
- 17:25Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh.
- 17:27Speaker 2: That's not what we were talking about.
- 17:29Speaker 5: Brian, which one of our regular listeners do you think
- 17:32Speaker 5: posted this? We've been having a rainy period here over
- 17:35Speaker 5: the past week. The winds blew and the rain fell
- 17:40Speaker 5: with a welcoming rain. So I could turn off the
- 17:43Speaker 5: sprinklers this past week.
- 17:45Speaker 3: Who got rain?
- 17:47Speaker 2: Okay, so this is a new game. Guess which one
- 17:50Speaker 2: of our listeners or viewers said that? I'm going to
- 17:52Speaker 2: say Rick in Idaho.
- 17:55Speaker 5: You were close, but it was Kevin.
- 17:57Speaker 2: Oh, okay. Kevin?
- 17:59Speaker 5: Up in Coeur d'Alene. I've been, you know, my daughter
- 18:01Speaker 5: lives in Meridian, outside of Boise, and they just got
- 18:06Speaker 5: off of like three weeks of 100 degree plus weather.
- 18:11Speaker 5: And all last week was in the 60s and 70s.
- 18:15Speaker 5: So like fall comes, oh, time for fall. I think
- 18:18Speaker 5: they have a law in Idaho.
- 18:20Speaker 3: It has to start.
- 18:21Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 18:21Speaker 3: It starts on a certain day. Meridian, Coeur d'Alene.
- 18:24Speaker 2: Coeur d'Alene.
- 18:25Speaker 3: Do you know how to spell Coeur d'Alene?
- 18:27Speaker 2: Yes. Well, I can picture it. Cordell Lane. No, I don't.
- 18:35Speaker 3: I've seen it too, and I look at it, and
- 18:36Speaker 3: I go, that's that?
- 18:38Speaker 2: It's safe to say, though, there's a group of letters.
- 18:41Speaker 2: There are letters.
- 18:42Speaker 5: You know, and... Have you guys noticed in French... We
- 18:46Speaker 5: have a minute.
- 18:46Speaker 2: Go ahead.
- 18:46Speaker 5: There can be a lot of letters. You just pronounce
- 18:49Speaker 5: half of them and you're fine.
- 18:50Speaker 2: Yeah, and you're good.
- 18:50Speaker 3: There's just letters that they put in there and they
- 18:54Speaker 3: never pronounce them.
- 18:55Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 18:55Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
- 18:56Speaker 5: Right.
- 18:56Speaker 3: It's like, why did you even put that letter there?
- 18:58Speaker 5: Right.
- 18:58Speaker 2: You remember when we put together the English language? It's like, okay, well,
- 19:01Speaker 2: the G is silent.
- 19:02Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 19:03Speaker 4: Why?
- 19:04Speaker 3: Why did you put it there?
- 19:05Speaker 5: But French, like if you do something in lieu of
- 19:08Speaker 5: something else.
- 19:09Speaker 3: Right.
- 19:09Speaker 5: It's L-I-E-U.
- 19:11Speaker 3: In lieu.
- 19:11Speaker 5: Yeah. What about just L.
- 19:14Speaker 3: L-U.
- 19:16Speaker 2: But if you're in England, don't you go to the loo?
- 19:18Speaker 5: That's spelled differently.
- 19:20Speaker 1: Okay.
- 19:21Speaker 3: All right. We are working our way to a break.
- 19:24Speaker 2: We're a little early. Say something prophetic taking us into
- 19:28Speaker 2: the break. Tell us something about yourself that nobody knows.
- 19:33Speaker 5: And you've been afraid to admit.
- 19:34Speaker 3: Admit this whole time. Oh, I'm sorry.
- 19:38Speaker 2: Our time is up, Tyler. We have to go to
- 19:41Speaker 2: a break to satisfy... Our many listeners and sponsors on
- 19:45Speaker 2: BizTalk Radio, thank you to Fertilome. Yes, indeed, fertilizer, but
- 19:49Speaker 2: you know what? We need to grow, too, here on
- 19:51Speaker 2: Garden America. So we thank Fertilome. And thank you for listening,
- 19:53Speaker 2: tuning in. I'm Brian Mayne, John Bagnasco, Tug of Power, Fox.
- 19:56Speaker 2: It is break time on BizTalk Radio.
- 20:12Speaker 6: Welcome back to the Garden America Radio Show with Brian, John,
- 20:16Speaker 6: and Tiger.
- 20:17Speaker 2: Okay, we are back. And for those that like longer segments,
- 20:21Speaker 2: this is one of them. One of the longer segments here.
- 20:23Speaker 2: A lot to do, a lot to accomplish. We can
- 20:25Speaker 2: answer a lot of questions. We can answer a lot
- 20:26Speaker 2: of questions and comments. So have at it. John, what
- 20:30Speaker 2: do we have?
- 20:31Speaker 5: Well, this one's definitely for you and Tiger because I
- 20:35Speaker 5: don't know either. Veronica in Spring Valley says she's got
- 20:39Speaker 5: a plumeria question. She was given a lovely white with
- 20:42Speaker 5: yellow center in a 10 or 15-gallon pot. It's growing sideways.
- 20:48Speaker 5: The pot is broken. Can she repot and stake it now,
- 20:52Speaker 5: or should she wait until the leaves drop this fall?
- 20:54Speaker 2: Okay, so if it's growing sideways, does that mean it's
- 20:56Speaker 2: growing toward the light, toward the sun?
- 20:59Speaker 3: Or just leaning.
- 21:00Speaker 2: I mean, usually they go for the light, right?
- 21:02Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, we all end up walking towards the light.
- 21:07Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, exactly.
- 21:08Speaker 3: But....
- 21:10Speaker 5: I just feel like plumeria do weird things sometimes.
- 21:14Speaker 3: They grow sideways.
- 21:15Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 21:15Speaker 2: Like you said. Well, the one that you gave me
- 21:18Speaker 2: that finally took off is still in a smaller pot.
- 21:21Speaker 2: It's growing sideways, but it's growing toward the sun.
- 21:25Speaker 3: So number one, I mean, plumerias have like zero root system.
- 21:27Speaker 3: I've seen trees that are 10 feet tall, 12 feet
- 21:33Speaker 3: wide blow over in a mild wind.
- 21:37Speaker 5: And that's a virtually no root system, not literally.
- 21:40Speaker 3: Yeah, virtually no root system. And they blow over in
- 21:43Speaker 3: a mild wind. And I've also staked that plumaria up,
- 21:48Speaker 3: got it back to upright with a few straps, and
- 21:53Speaker 3: it just keeps going. Like nothing happened, right? So everything
- 21:58Speaker 3: that it has in the plant is all that it
- 22:00Speaker 3: really needs.
- 22:02Speaker 2: I think she can.
- 22:03Speaker 3: So, yeah, what I'm kind of saying is, like, number one,
- 22:05Speaker 3: it is not uncommon for the blueberry to grow sideways.
- 22:08Speaker 3: And number two, to transplant it right now while it
- 22:12Speaker 3: has leaves on it, I'd say, yeah. I mean, yes,
- 22:16Speaker 3: you know, if the... If you damage some of the roots,
- 22:19Speaker 3: you might get a little bit of like... Leaf drop
- 22:21Speaker 3: or something.
- 22:22Speaker 5: But it's... Not dieback, but leaf drop.
- 22:24Speaker 3: Yeah. You're not going to kill the plant. You're not
- 22:26Speaker 3: going to hurt it.
- 22:27Speaker 5: I think the only thing that I would be concerned
- 22:30Speaker 5: about would be if you transplant it and then overwater it.
- 22:33Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 22:34Speaker 5: So don't do that. I mean, transplant it like you're
- 22:38Speaker 5: saying in a good cactus mix or quick draining soil
- 22:41Speaker 5: and then water it after you transplant it and then
- 22:44Speaker 5: let it dry out before you water again.
- 22:46Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 22:47Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 22:47Speaker 1: So.
- 22:48Speaker 3: No problem at all. I mean, no real harm. And then,
- 22:53Speaker 3: you know, kind of like what John was saying as
- 22:55Speaker 3: far as like the cactus mix, it's a great time
- 22:58Speaker 3: if you're transplanting the plumeria to get that real good drainage.
- 23:01Speaker 3: Like you're saying, you know, you have this opportunity, get
- 23:05Speaker 3: the good drainage in there.
- 23:06Speaker 5: But in the winter, they do go dormant, so.
- 23:10Speaker 5: There's no growth at all, like even the roots aren't.
- 23:13Speaker 5: Whatever roots there are are not growing, so now would
- 23:15Speaker 5: probably be a better time to do it, don't you think,
- 23:18Speaker 5: while it's actively growing?
- 23:19Speaker 3: Yeah, so that way it has a chance to continue
- 23:21Speaker 3: to grow a little bit before the wintertime. They just
- 23:25Speaker 3: had their Plumeria sale just at Balboa Park. I think
- 23:28Speaker 3: it was last week or the week before.
- 23:29Speaker 2: No, it's interesting because we did a remote there. It
- 23:31Speaker 2: was in October.
- 23:32Speaker 3: Well, they do two different ones.
- 23:35Speaker 5: They do a cutting sale and then they do a
- 23:36Speaker 5: plant sale.
- 23:37Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 23:38Speaker 5: So the one they probably would have done now would
- 23:39Speaker 5: have been the plant sale.
- 23:40Speaker 2: The plant and then the cutting in October. No, I
- 23:42Speaker 2: think the.
- 23:43Speaker 5: Cutting's early in the spring. Oh, okay. Yeah.
- 23:47Speaker 3: Maybe they did it later that year. You think it
- 23:48Speaker 3: was in October?
- 23:49Speaker 5: It was.
- 23:50Speaker 2: Yeah. It was at the end of the year.
- 23:51Speaker 3: Okay. Not sure.
- 23:55Speaker 5: I wish I would have known. I would have gone. Yeah.
- 23:57Speaker 3: They have such cool varieties there. It's hard. I got
- 24:00Speaker 3: to almost like stay away because.
- 24:02Speaker 2: Right.
- 24:02Speaker 5: Well, I'm kind of glad I didn't know about it.
- 24:05Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
- 24:06Speaker 5: Because instead I bought a printer, which was probably cheaper.
- 24:12Speaker 3: That's so much cooler.
- 24:13Speaker 2: Isn't that random? Not instead I bought a rose, instead
- 24:16Speaker 2: I bought a printer. You know what you need? You
- 24:19Speaker 2: need a laser... You need a... Not a laser printer.
- 24:22Speaker 2: What the... The Bill's things for you? What's it called?
- 24:26Speaker 3: The Bill's?
- 24:27Speaker 2: No, you know, printers that actually create things.
- 24:31Speaker 3: Oh, like a 3D printer.
- 24:33Speaker 2: Thank you, a 3D printer. There's a guy that I
- 24:38Speaker 2: watch on YouTube that needs boat parts that are very expensive.
- 24:42Speaker 2: So he bought a 3D printer, and for less than
- 24:45Speaker 2: half the cost, he can make that part at home
- 24:47Speaker 2: instead of buying it.
- 24:48Speaker 5: My son built his house off a 3D printer.
- 24:51Speaker 2: Did he?
- 24:51Speaker 5: Whole house. Yeah. 3,600 square feet.
- 24:55Speaker 2: You know how big that printer had to be?
- 24:57Speaker 5: He had trouble with the upstairs, though. Anyway.
- 25:00Speaker 2: Is there an upside to the upstairs? Go ahead.
- 25:04Speaker 5: Sandy Dennis was.
- 25:06Speaker 2: Sandy Dennis was Peter Pan, right?
- 25:08Speaker 5: Oh, I don't know, but she started in the movie
- 25:11Speaker 5: Up the Down Staircase.
- 25:12Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think she played Peter Pan in a
- 25:15Speaker 2: play on Broadway, I think.
- 25:16Speaker 5: Did she? Sandy Dennis.
- 25:18Speaker 2: That is such a random. You know what? She had
- 25:20Speaker 2: the bad eye off to one side, I think.
- 25:23Speaker 5: Did she? She was also in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf.
- 25:27Speaker 2: Was she? Richard Burton and Liz Taylor?
- 25:29Speaker 5: Right. There were only four people in that movie. It's
- 25:33Speaker 5: a dark movie. And George Segal was the other one,
- 25:38Speaker 5: and Sandy Dennis played his wife.
- 25:40Speaker 2: I like George Segal. Do you? Yeah.
- 25:43Speaker 5: Carla Bryan said, speaking of watering, she hasn't figured out
- 25:47Speaker 5: water for her fig trees. She cut back on the water,
- 25:51Speaker 5: and they wilted. So what's a good schedule?
- 25:56Speaker 2: We assume they're obviously in the ground.
- 25:58Speaker 3: When they're growing, I mean, can you overwater it still
- 26:02Speaker 3: when they're growing? Because they take a lot of water
- 26:05Speaker 3: during the leaf and fruiting and all of that.
- 26:10Speaker 5: That's the time they use the most water.
- 26:12Speaker 3: Right. And it's a lot. It's not like a.
- 26:14Speaker 5: It depends on the soil. If you've got a heavy
- 26:17Speaker 5: clay soil that's holding most moisture, they don't need as much.
- 26:20Speaker 5: But I think, Carl, you're asking about... A good schedule, well,
- 26:28Speaker 5: it's hard because of the weather. You don't know what
- 26:31Speaker 5: the weather's going to be. The schedule is be water
- 26:33Speaker 5: on any plant's water when they need it.
- 26:35Speaker 3: Right.
- 26:36Speaker 5: But, you know, Carla's plant probably would have been fine
- 26:39Speaker 5: on a normal watering schedule, say every 10 days to
- 26:43Speaker 5: two weeks even, if it was a good deep watering.
- 26:46Speaker 5: But then you had the hot weather last week, and
- 26:50Speaker 5: it made it difficult.
- 26:51Speaker 3: And I think all of us gardeners... Also, especially here
- 26:57Speaker 3: in Southern California, it's almost like we're all controlling a
- 27:01Speaker 3: reservoir right now. Because we've been told for the past month,
- 27:06Speaker 3: Super El Nino on the way, the rain is starting.
- 27:09Speaker 3: Even this weekend, we're getting these like, oh, there's a
- 27:12Speaker 3: hurricane passing by us. We're going to get rain.
- 27:14Speaker 5: Three hurricanes now.
- 27:16Speaker 3: You know, yeah, all this stuff, right? So they're telling
- 27:18Speaker 3: us rain is on the way. Rain is on the way.
- 27:19Speaker 3: Rain is on the way. So I think a lot
- 27:21Speaker 3: of gardeners are starting to hold back water. Because we
- 27:25Speaker 3: also know that if we keep putting water, it's going
- 27:27Speaker 3: to become overwatered and our yards are going to flood
- 27:30Speaker 3: and everything. So like a reservoir, we're trying to anticipate this.
- 27:35Speaker 3: So it's almost like we're drying out our yard. That's
- 27:37Speaker 3: why I'm drying out my status. That's the reason I'm
- 27:40Speaker 3: not watering them.
- 27:41Speaker 2: So here's a question. Speaking of rain versus us watering
- 27:45Speaker 2: a plant or plants. And this might be very obvious
- 27:49Speaker 2: or it might not be based upon the fact, the
- 27:52Speaker 2: difference between rainwater. And hose water or whatever. So if
- 27:57Speaker 2: we have a lot of rain, like just tumultuous rain
- 28:00Speaker 2: or continuous rain, can we overwater our plants based on
- 28:04Speaker 2: the weather and the rain? As opposed to us manually overwatering.
- 28:08Speaker 3: When it comes to overwatering based on the weather, it's
- 28:12Speaker 3: not the actual overwatering, kind of like what John's saying.
- 28:15Speaker 3: It's the soil.
- 28:17Speaker 2: The drainage, right?
- 28:18Speaker 3: So it's not a matter of like, can plants tolerate
- 28:21Speaker 3: an inch or two of rain? Yes, they can tolerate it.
- 28:23Speaker 3: But if that water does not go away from the
- 28:26Speaker 3: base of the plant and just sitting.
- 28:27Speaker 2: There for two to three weeks.
- 28:30Speaker 3: That's the overwatering aspect of it. It's the lack of
- 28:33Speaker 3: oxygen in the soil. It's the bacteria and the funguses
- 28:37Speaker 3: that develop in there and begin to rot the roots
- 28:40Speaker 3: out and everything else that goes along with it. And
- 28:42Speaker 3: it's the idea that the plant can't transpire. So if
- 28:45Speaker 3: it's rainy and cloudy and the plants are not.
- 28:47Speaker 2: There's no sunlight.
- 28:48Speaker 3: And there's no sunlight and the plants aren't actively growing
- 28:51Speaker 3: and creating energy and all that other stuff. That's the problem.
- 28:56Speaker 3: It's not, oh, you put too much water. It's where
- 28:59Speaker 3: the water goes.
- 29:00Speaker 2: And the one difference would be, minor difference, there's oxygen
- 29:03Speaker 2: in rainwater.
- 29:04Speaker 3: Yeah, which gives it that extended life, what you're saying.
- 29:06Speaker 2: Which we don't have when we water it.
- 29:08Speaker 5: And Tiger's absolutely right. And you're both right, actually. It's
- 29:14Speaker 5: the oxygen, because anaerobic bacteria, which live in the presence
- 29:20Speaker 5: of no oxygen... Are the ones that are disease-causing. Yeah.
- 29:24Speaker 5: So you take the oxygen out of the soil or
- 29:27Speaker 5: the water, and you can have disease organisms grow. Yeah.
- 29:31Speaker 5: Aerobic bacteria are usually the good ones.
- 29:33Speaker 2: And take the oxygen out of our air right now,
- 29:36Speaker 2: and there's problems.
- 29:38Speaker 5: We'd have trouble finishing the show.
- 29:39Speaker 2: I know that. We'd be gasping and choking.
- 29:42Speaker 3: Real quick, I want to– Hastam made a comment, and
- 29:45Speaker 3: I love Hastam's comment because of his use of words, okay?
- 29:52Speaker 3: So first off, it's, thank God our hot weather sizzling
- 29:57Speaker 3: heat has ended.
- 29:58Speaker 2: Right?
- 29:58Speaker 5: Like sizzling.
- 30:00Speaker 2: No, exactly.
- 30:01Speaker 3: You know, and then I don't know.
- 30:03Speaker 5: I think Islam's English is much better than your Pakistani.
- 30:07Speaker 3: Oh, I mean, it's amazing, right? I mean, his English
- 30:10Speaker 3: is better than my English.
- 30:11Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 30:12Speaker 3: I don't know. Remember the last time I used sizzling, but,
- 30:15Speaker 3: and then.
- 30:16Speaker 5: When you went to the steakhouse.
- 30:19Speaker 2: 57 seconds, by the way.
- 30:20Speaker 3: Well, he goes the, and he, so to start to
- 30:24Speaker 3: sew his petunias, you know, they, they, is sowing the
- 30:28Speaker 3: marigold seeds, sowing the petunias. I'm thinking he's this farmer,
- 30:32Speaker 3: you know what I mean? And I don't know, but
- 30:34Speaker 3: I'm also thinking he's a grower where he's growing them
- 30:36Speaker 3: in pots for resale.
- 30:38Speaker 5: He's a nurseryman.
- 30:39Speaker 3: Yeah, but just that he uses the word to sow,
- 30:43Speaker 3: like sow a field kind of a thing.
- 30:45Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good adjective.
- 30:46Speaker 3: I like them.
- 30:47Speaker 2: It's word color.
- 30:48Speaker 5: When we come back, we should go over the.
- 30:51Speaker 5: Weather report for Peshawar.
- 30:53Speaker 2: Let's do that. We're going to take a break here
- 30:55Speaker 2: on Garden America, Facebook Live, BizTalk Radio, back after these messages,
- 30:59Speaker 2: if you're on BizTalk Radio.
- 31:16Speaker 6: Welcome back to the Garden America Radio Show with Brian, John,
- 31:20Speaker 6: and Tiger.
- 31:21Speaker 2: We are back from the break and it is moving
- 31:23Speaker 2: right along because this is the last segment, the final
- 31:25Speaker 2: segment in the first hour of Garden America for BizTalk Radio.
- 31:30Speaker 2: For Facebook Live, a little different scheduling. We'll just call
- 31:33Speaker 2: it the end of the first half. And then when
- 31:35Speaker 2: we close out this segment, we will close down Facebook
- 31:38Speaker 2: and we'll start over again. I think people have the
- 31:40Speaker 2: drill down by now.
- 31:42Speaker 3: We should have a halftime show like the Super Bowl.
- 31:44Speaker 2: You know?
- 31:45Speaker 5: That's a good idea. A big old halftime show.
- 31:48Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 31:49Speaker 3: So when people are taking that break, they have something
- 31:52Speaker 3: to watch before we start it again.
- 31:54Speaker 2: Avocados and chips and hot dogs. What do you have
- 31:57Speaker 2: for us, John?
- 31:58Speaker 5: Well, anyway, in Peshawar, Pakistan, like Tiger said, they're starting
- 32:05Speaker 5: their marigold seeds. And they're going to flower in mid-October.
- 32:10Speaker 5: And from then until December, when they get a frost.
- 32:15Speaker 2: So.
- 32:17Speaker 5: That's going to kill everything until January. And then people
- 32:21Speaker 5: are going to start petunias and other annuals, which are
- 32:24Speaker 5: going to go from mid-February to April.
- 32:27Speaker 2: What's the weather right now?
- 32:28Speaker 3: That's funny because petunias are a summer plant for us
- 32:31Speaker 3: and pansies are the spring, right? Like where he's talking
- 32:34Speaker 3: about planting petunias.
- 32:36Speaker 5: For us, pansies are winter.
- 32:38Speaker 3: Yeah, pansies are winter. That's right. But like, you know,
- 32:42Speaker 3: and then marigolds are wrapping up for us now. And
- 32:46Speaker 3: they're just planting them to last through the fall, right?
- 32:49Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 32:51Speaker 3: It's weird when the same plant has different cycles in
- 32:56Speaker 3: different places.
- 32:57Speaker 2: What's the weather in Pakistan? Do we have an update? Sizzling.
- 33:01Speaker 2: That's all you need to know. The weather's like it
- 33:03Speaker 2: was here.
- 33:03Speaker 5: We had that sizzling hot weather here, and then it broke.
- 33:08Speaker 5: And that's what it's done over there now.
- 33:10Speaker 3: It broke. Broke.
- 33:14Speaker 2: Well, all righty.
- 33:16Speaker 5: Okay. Let's see next.
- 33:18Speaker 3: We're talking about migrations. Uh, have you been seeing those comments?
- 33:23Speaker 5: Oh, I haven't gotten there yet. I was going to
- 33:25Speaker 5: John and Newport beach commented that hard, hard cider is
- 33:28Speaker 5: making a comeback. I didn't know that. He said two
- 33:33Speaker 5: towns cider is named after Corvallis and Albany, Oregon, Oregon,
- 33:39Speaker 5: and it's made from Oregon apples. Yeah.
- 33:41Speaker 3: A lot of those ciders, um, Chambucas are becoming more popular.
- 33:47Speaker 3: People are not drinking as much, right? They're not drinking
- 33:50Speaker 3: beer and wine or alcohol as much. But these kind
- 33:54Speaker 3: of healthier versions of alcohol are becoming more popular.
- 33:59Speaker 5: Really?
- 34:00Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 34:01Speaker 5: So cider house rules.
- 34:06Speaker 3: Let's see. Okay.
- 34:11Speaker 5: Linda said they did get rain up there. In Reddington.
- 34:15Speaker 2: Oh, okay, good. Yeah. And probably it wasn't a warm rain.
- 34:19Speaker 3: It's nice. I mean, right? It's still, even when it's 70,
- 34:24Speaker 3: you know, or high 60s, it's nice warm rain. Oh,
- 34:27Speaker 3: it's been nice. Rain you go out and you kind
- 34:30Speaker 3: of don't feel the need to put on a jacket still.
- 34:32Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 34:32Speaker 3: You know, kind of a thing.
- 34:34Speaker 5: You know, Kevin says that they're starting to see geese
- 34:37Speaker 5: flying south.
- 34:38Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 34:38Speaker 5: You know, up in Coeur d'Alene. So they're feeling, you know,
- 34:41Speaker 5: the fall signs. But he mentions that his fall blooming
- 34:45Speaker 5: dahlias are ready to pop. And I never planted dahlias before.
- 34:51Speaker 2: Until recently.
- 34:52Speaker 5: Until recently when I put in a bed of them.
- 34:54Speaker 5: And during the summer, they look horrible. And they actually burn.
- 34:59Speaker 5: And I didn't know if they were supposed to do
- 35:00Speaker 5: that or not. So I went over to Bill and
- 35:03Speaker 5: Elaine's house last week after the show to drop something off.
- 35:07Speaker 5: And mine were much better than theirs.
- 35:11Speaker 3: And they're much more coastal.
- 35:13Speaker 5: Yeah, and they're more coastal. So I think in our weather,
- 35:16Speaker 5: maybe dahlias take a break in the summer. Bill had
- 35:19Speaker 5: cut his back, and he said they were hoping that
- 35:22Speaker 5: they might get a fall bloom, too. I think so.
- 35:23Speaker 3: I think you see that happen.
- 35:25Speaker 5: I always picture dahlias as really hot weather, but maybe not.
- 35:29Speaker 5: I guess their Pacific Northwest is where they're really popular, right?
- 35:34Speaker 3: Right. And they look amazing. absolutely stunning right in those
- 35:38Speaker 3: gardens up there but i think it because like you
- 35:40Speaker 3: say it gets the rain and the thing too is
- 35:42Speaker 3: they get the hot weather but it also cools down
- 35:45Speaker 3: in the evening and it's for a shorter window so
- 35:49Speaker 3: like they don't have the prolonged hot weather like we
- 35:51Speaker 3: do things are just we we run ourselves to exhaustion
- 35:56Speaker 3: here right.
- 35:57Speaker 2: We have a much more balanced forecast for you after
- 36:00Speaker 2: this news break.
- 36:02Speaker 5: Lila by the way brian said that um Sandy, uh,
- 36:06Speaker 5: Sandy Duncan was Peter Pan.
- 36:09Speaker 2: See, this is useless things. I remember what, what, I mean,
- 36:13Speaker 2: I never committed that to memory.
- 36:14Speaker 5: I know, but you know what you should do is
- 36:16Speaker 5: put it all in a book.
- 36:18Speaker 2: Useless things that I remember. Yeah. I hadn't heard that name, John,
- 36:22Speaker 2: in probably 20 years, Sandy Duncan.
- 36:25Speaker 5: I remember thinking what a great actress she was. Cause
- 36:27Speaker 5: I think she got best supporting actress for who's afraid
- 36:31Speaker 5: of Virginia Wolf. And then I saw her in, in future, uh,
- 36:35Speaker 5: projects and she always acted the same. It was just
- 36:38Speaker 5: who she was. She didn't have to act for that.
- 36:43Speaker 2: I recall she was bubbly.
- 36:46Speaker 5: I think she was a little goofy.
- 36:48Speaker 3: So Kevin commented on the geese, right? Yeah. And then
- 36:56Speaker 3: Veronica commented, I find it interesting there are so many
- 36:59Speaker 3: animals are migrating early. Hummers are and are orcas we
- 37:05Speaker 3: have a pod off point loma have you seen that
- 37:07Speaker 3: there was a pod off of point loma heading to mexico.
- 37:10Speaker 2: You know what here's the thing about about animals we
- 37:14Speaker 2: need a weather report they don't yeah so if they're
- 37:16Speaker 2: doing something a little earlier than normal they know something
- 37:20Speaker 2: that we don't know or maybe in this case el
- 37:22Speaker 2: nino what was supposed to be happening a lot of
- 37:24Speaker 2: them they know it's you know what's going to be
- 37:27Speaker 2: wet we got to get out of here and it's
- 37:28Speaker 2: going to come early this.
- 37:29Speaker 3: Year yeah So, no, animals, it's pretty amazing.
- 37:33Speaker 2: They know what's going on. Couple of minutes, John, what
- 37:35Speaker 2: do you have?
- 37:36Speaker 5: Carla said that her figs were in barrels.
- 37:39Speaker 3: All right.
- 37:40Speaker 5: So, you don't have to worry as much about over-watering
- 37:43Speaker 5: in barrels.
- 37:44Speaker 3: I was going to say, yeah. I mean, like I say,
- 37:48Speaker 3: when they lose their leaves, you stop watering. When all
- 37:51Speaker 3: the leaves drop off, when they start to turn for
- 37:54Speaker 3: the winter, you stop watering and you do not water
- 37:57Speaker 3: until it's almost fully leafed out again. But During the
- 38:01Speaker 3: time that it has leaves on it, it's almost like
- 38:03Speaker 3: you can't overdo the watering. Even in a barrel that
- 38:06Speaker 3: might be like holding moisture. Sometimes those barrels hold, like
- 38:10Speaker 3: if it's a wooden one, they hold that moisture in
- 38:12Speaker 3: there and you got to be careful with that. But
- 38:15Speaker 3: even in that situation, you can't overwater it when it's
- 38:18Speaker 3: got leaves on it.
- 38:19Speaker 5: Okay.
- 38:20Speaker 2: We have one minute until the top of the hour
- 38:22Speaker 2: news in our Facebook live break.
- 38:24Speaker 5: But we're going to come back, right?
- 38:26Speaker 2: You want to?
- 38:26Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 38:27Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, why not?
- 38:28Speaker 5: Let's do another one.
- 38:28Speaker 3: Should we do another? All right.
- 38:30Speaker 2: I know that was up in the air earlier. We
- 38:32Speaker 2: weren't sure.
- 38:33Speaker 3: Well, you know, we never decided on it before the show,
- 38:34Speaker 3: but I think it's been going well.
- 38:37Speaker 2: So far. So far, so good. Look at you. You
- 38:41Speaker 2: always blame me for jinxing something or saying something when
- 38:43Speaker 2: I shouldn't say it. So we are going to ease
- 38:46Speaker 2: into this break. Instead of just a hard break, we'll
- 38:49Speaker 2: ease into the break. For those on BizTalk Radio, we're
- 38:52Speaker 2: two hours. Hopefully you get the next hour. But you
- 38:54Speaker 2: do have news coming up if you're hanging in there
- 38:56Speaker 2: on BizTalk Radio, Facebook Live. Take that top of the
- 38:59Speaker 2: hour break or close to it. It's actually 44 minutes
- 39:01Speaker 2: after the hour.
- 39:02Speaker 5: You can always go to BizTalk Radio if you don't
- 39:04Speaker 5: get the second break.
- 39:05Speaker 2: Anytime you want to. We're going to take a break.
- 39:07Speaker 2: We're going to shut down Facebook and then restart things.
- 39:10Speaker 2: Join us back here after the news, after the break
- 39:13Speaker 2: here on Garden America.
- 39:18Speaker 3: Thank you. Thank you.
- 39:53Speaker 2: Welcome back to Garden America, or if you're just joining us,
- 39:56Speaker 2: welcome to Garden America. BizTalk Radio, for those of you
- 39:59Speaker 2: on BizTalk Radio, this officially would be hour two. Facebook Live,
- 40:03Speaker 2: it would be the second half of the show. So welcome.
- 40:06Speaker 2: Thanks for hanging in there. If you've been with us
- 40:08Speaker 2: this long, chances are you're going to make it. We
- 40:11Speaker 2: have another 35, 40 minutes to go. And John's getting
- 40:15Speaker 2: all set up with his phone because we need to
- 40:17Speaker 2: bring you up to date with questions and comments. You know,
- 40:19Speaker 2: it's funny, sometimes you'll comment on a show from two
- 40:22Speaker 2: weeks ago, which is fine, because maybe somebody didn't hear
- 40:26Speaker 2: the answer.
- 40:27Speaker 4: Just making sure, you know, we.
- 40:31Speaker 3: Clean up.
- 40:32Speaker 2: It's called clean up, right?
- 40:33Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. Making sure everything is addressed.
- 40:36Speaker 5: You know, I don't even... When I'm trying to find the...
- 40:40Speaker 5: Get my phone all set up, I don't even ask
- 40:43Speaker 5: Tiger anymore. I just hand him the phone. He knows
- 40:45Speaker 5: what to do.
- 40:47Speaker 2: It's understood. Yeah.
- 40:48Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. I love how he gets lost. Yeah, it's
- 40:52Speaker 3: quite cute. Because he knows where he needs to be
- 40:55Speaker 3: and all of the things, but somehow it gets lost
- 40:58Speaker 3: in the different clicks and the links.
- 41:01Speaker 5: I think I have an itchy trigger finger. I just
- 41:05Speaker 5: start pushing too many things. It's like it doesn't respond immediately.
- 41:09Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 41:10Speaker 5: Just start pushing buttons. And sometimes I push the wrong buttons.
- 41:14Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 41:15Speaker 2: Three or four jokes in comics and that. You know that, right? Exactly.
- 41:19Speaker 2: Itchy trigger fingers.
- 41:20Speaker 3: Losing buttons.
- 41:21Speaker 5: Just for you.
- 41:22Speaker 2: Lost in the weeds.
- 41:24Speaker 3: Lost in the weeds. If you've got a yard where
- 41:27Speaker 3: you're getting lost in your weeds, you're in trouble.
- 41:31Speaker 5: I had that problem at my house when we first
- 41:33Speaker 5: moved in.
- 41:34Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 41:34Speaker 5: Because, you know, it's large property and a lot of weeds.
- 41:38Speaker 3: A lot of weeds.
- 41:39Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 41:39Speaker 3: It's amazing what mulch does over a period of time, right?
- 41:45Speaker 5: Where it controls the weeds. Right.
- 41:47Speaker 3: The soil now becomes better. Things don't grow as easily.
- 41:50Speaker 5: Also amazing what a maintenance crew does every two weeks.
- 41:54Speaker 2: You know what I've discovered in the past month or so,
- 41:56Speaker 2: maybe longer than that, right under the stairwell leading into
- 42:00Speaker 2: our house, there's a little area there that technically belongs
- 42:03Speaker 2: to the HOA. But over the years, I kind of
- 42:06Speaker 2: did my own thing. Well, now that we have to
- 42:08Speaker 2: clear everything out for the remodeling and construction, there's this
- 42:12Speaker 2: dark tarp. that's that's sticking up which i think.
- 42:15Speaker 3: Oh like whether they had put like a weed barrier.
- 42:17Speaker 2: Exactly they must have put that down there at one
- 42:19Speaker 2: time for weeds and now it's kind of coming up
- 42:22Speaker 2: in certain areas kind of cloth it just kind of
- 42:24Speaker 2: it doesn't look good no but uh they're going to
- 42:27Speaker 2: get rid of that but yeah you have to see
- 42:29Speaker 2: what they're going to do with the landscaping it's going
- 42:31Speaker 2: to be.
- 42:32Speaker 3: Dry no water and you know kind of john had
- 42:35Speaker 3: mentioned um it's it's amazing what like amanians can drew
- 42:39Speaker 3: do overnight well the one i think critical part of
- 42:42Speaker 3: having a yard regularly maintained is it kind of can
- 42:45Speaker 3: control that cycle of weeds right because if you can
- 42:47Speaker 3: pull them if you can stop the cycle of seeds
- 42:51Speaker 3: and all of that it's amazing how the population of
- 42:56Speaker 3: weeds in a landscape go down every year because you've
- 43:00Speaker 3: started to limit the number of plants that can now come.
- 43:03Speaker 2: Up and there's less and less resources for them to
- 43:06Speaker 2: come up to right in terms of like if you
- 43:08Speaker 2: just let it go It's like one big giant party.
- 43:11Speaker 2: When you break up the party, when you break up
- 43:13Speaker 2: the party, right, nobody wants to go back.
- 43:17Speaker 3: What party are you talking about?
- 43:19Speaker 2: The weed party.
- 43:19Speaker 5: Oh, yeah?
- 43:21Speaker 2: What?
- 43:22Speaker 5: You're having weed parties?
- 43:24Speaker 3: Exactly.
- 43:25Speaker 2: Shame on you for going in that direction.
- 43:27Speaker 5: You're getting too old for that. I wanted to mention, though,
- 43:31Speaker 5: because what you're talking about, Tiger, I had that thought
- 43:35Speaker 5: yesterday as I was cleaning up, and I haven't noticed
- 43:41Speaker 5: anything here at your house, but I have, this time
- 43:43Speaker 5: of year, Japanese spurge. It's horrible.
- 43:45Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 43:46Speaker 5: And it puts out a plant that spreads along the ground,
- 43:51Speaker 5: maybe at least a foot, and sometimes bigger than that.
- 43:58Speaker 5: And I was pulling some of those up. There's usually
- 44:00Speaker 5: a central root. It pulls up pretty easy if the
- 44:03Speaker 5: soil's soft. But underneath were... Like I swept it up
- 44:09Speaker 5: and I was wondering, what do I do with these seeds?
- 44:11Speaker 5: I mean, I could have a bucket of seeds, you know,
- 44:15Speaker 5: from just a few plants.
- 44:17Speaker 3: Yeah. It's amazing, right? How much it drops.
- 44:19Speaker 5: So I took a broom and I swept them into
- 44:21Speaker 5: the soil, which was not good. I thought I should
- 44:23Speaker 5: have just swept them up and tried to throw away
- 44:26Speaker 5: as many as I could. Yeah. But then I'm thinking,
- 44:29Speaker 5: you know, there's probably, without exaggerating, 10,000 seeds right here.
- 44:36Speaker 5: And if I get them all up except for six,
- 44:40Speaker 5: that's still enough to start six huge plants for next year.
- 44:45Speaker 5: So you kind of wonder what's the point.
- 44:47Speaker 3: Well, and it's amazing to kind of think about that
- 44:50Speaker 3: from the perspective of like what you said, there's 10,000
- 44:53Speaker 3: seeds there. Even if you left them in the ground
- 44:55Speaker 3: next year, you don't have 10,000 plants of that. You
- 44:59Speaker 3: might like, you kind of see, you only have like
- 45:02Speaker 3: one or two of those plants there right from the
- 45:04Speaker 3: last year's seeds so that's people don't realize that's how
- 45:09Speaker 3: easy it is to control weeds if you stay on
- 45:12Speaker 3: top of them and even like you know even if
- 45:15Speaker 3: it's a matter of you going out and spraying like
- 45:16Speaker 3: meaning like if you go out once a week and
- 45:19Speaker 3: just spray all the little baby weeds with whatever you
- 45:22Speaker 3: want could be roundup could be vinegar whatever you want
- 45:25Speaker 3: just any kind of weed killer if you go out
- 45:28Speaker 3: and do that once a week in a year or two,
- 45:32Speaker 3: you're going to find you don't have weeds anymore because
- 45:35Speaker 3: you've stopped them from coming back every year and allowed
- 45:38Speaker 3: them to reproduce. And you broke up the party, broke
- 45:41Speaker 3: up the party. And people don't realize that it just
- 45:44Speaker 3: takes that little bit ever because you know, like you
- 45:46Speaker 3: said that with the weed fabric, everybody's like, Oh, I
- 45:48Speaker 3: want to put down weed fabric. Weed fabric doesn't really
- 45:50Speaker 3: protect you.
- 45:51Speaker 2: No, it doesn't. Cause you know, things were coming up anyway.
- 45:53Speaker 3: And they come up on top of it. Like people
- 45:55Speaker 3: put down like weed fabric and then they put rock
- 45:57Speaker 3: or DG or mulch on top of like, That's still
- 46:01Speaker 3: soil that.
- 46:01Speaker 2: The weed is going to grow in. I bet that
- 46:03Speaker 2: weed fabric's been there too for 30 years.
- 46:05Speaker 3: Yeah. And then, I mean, you know, where you're talking
- 46:09Speaker 3: about under your stairwell, you've had weed fabric, that soil
- 46:12Speaker 3: is now like dead. You know what I mean?
- 46:15Speaker 2: You know, when I first moved in there, there were
- 46:17Speaker 2: nice ferns, the kind of ferns that grow like under
- 46:19Speaker 2: the canopies of trees because there was little light and
- 46:22Speaker 2: they were doing very well. And then after a while,
- 46:25Speaker 2: it just, like you said, there's soil, dirt. If there's dirt,
- 46:29Speaker 2: I'm surprised.
- 46:30Speaker 5: Yeah. You know, we had a comment last hour. This
- 46:32Speaker 5: just popped into my head off subject, but it made
- 46:36Speaker 5: me uncomfortable. And I couldn't figure out why. And it
- 46:40Speaker 5: was somebody, and you supported it too. So I'm thinking, well,
- 46:44Speaker 5: it's me. But somebody mentioned Sandy Duncan.
- 46:48Speaker 3: Right.
- 46:49Speaker 5: Her name was Sandy Dennis.
- 46:50Speaker 1: Yes.
- 46:52Speaker 2: Sandy Dennis is a different actress. She was in that
- 46:55Speaker 2: movie with Jack Lemmon. Sandy Dennis was in that movie
- 46:58Speaker 2: with when he had.
- 47:00Speaker 3: Grumpy Old Man?
- 47:01Speaker 2: No. Oh, it's a funny movie. There was a remake.
- 47:04Speaker 2: Steve Martin did a remake years after where he's in
- 47:07Speaker 2: New York trying to get a job and everything goes wrong.
- 47:10Speaker 2: Everything goes wrong.
- 47:11Speaker 5: But Sandy Dennis was in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf
- 47:14Speaker 5: and Up the Down Staircase.
- 47:15Speaker 2: Oh, well, okay. I'm talking about Sandy Dennis with the
- 47:18Speaker 2: light hair and the glasses and the funny looking eye.
- 47:21Speaker 2: She was Peter Pan, I believe. You're talking about somebody
- 47:25Speaker 2: totally different. Yeah.
- 47:27Speaker 5: Yeah. I was talking about Sandy Dennis. Now, Lila, I think,
- 47:32Speaker 5: said Sandy Duncan was Peter Pan. So that's who.
- 47:34Speaker 2: You're talking about. No, I mean Sandy Duncan. You're right.
- 47:37Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 47:37Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't think even a Sandy Dennis even exists.
- 47:41Speaker 2: Sandy Duncan, yes.
- 47:42Speaker 5: No, Sandy Dennis won the best supporting actress for Who's
- 47:47Speaker 5: Afraid of Virginia Woolf.
- 47:48Speaker 2: Why are you confusing me with all these Sandys? And
- 47:52Speaker 2: up the downstairs case, that makes no sense.
- 47:58Speaker 5: It was a book that a teacher wrote.
- 48:00Speaker 2: Yes, it became a movie.
- 48:02Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 48:02Speaker 5: But it was, you know, like, people shouldn't be going
- 48:06Speaker 5: up the down staircase in schools. You always had this,
- 48:09Speaker 5: the down staircase, this is the up staircase. I know.
- 48:13Speaker 2: I'm very uncomfortable. You're right with this conversation.
- 48:15Speaker 3: I like Kevin's comment. I'll take the liberty of speaking
- 48:19Speaker 3: for the group of listeners. We kind of like the break.
- 48:22Speaker 3: But it always feels like a miracle when we reconnect
- 48:25Speaker 3: for the second half of the show. But the break
- 48:28Speaker 3: does give us a chance to do stuff.
- 48:30Speaker 2: See, people are always wondering, you know, I want to
- 48:33Speaker 2: see a miracle. How come God doesn't perform miracles anymore?
- 48:37Speaker 3: They happen every week at Garden America.
- 48:39Speaker 2: He brings up a good point. You know, it's one
- 48:41Speaker 2: miracle after another.
- 48:43Speaker 5: Carla by the way said that she's got the same
- 48:45Speaker 5: problem with japanese spurge and she wonders if the seeds
- 48:49Speaker 5: i'm talking about are really tiny yeah they are tiny.
- 48:52Speaker 3: They blow around with a slight breeze.
- 48:54Speaker 5: Well i don't know about blowing do you think the
- 48:58Speaker 5: wind was really light like they.
- 49:00Speaker 3: Are light you have them on your sidewalk like did
- 49:02Speaker 3: this did the plant grow like you know how sometimes
- 49:05Speaker 3: you'll get it right there on the edge and Half
- 49:07Speaker 3: of the plant will be on a sidewalk and half
- 49:08Speaker 3: of the plant will be on dirt.
- 49:09Speaker 5: I have had that, but the ones I was talking,
- 49:11Speaker 5: we actually were coming up through the weed man.
- 49:13Speaker 3: Okay well on the sidewalk when they're on the concrete
- 49:17Speaker 3: yeah yeah they just blow.
- 49:19Speaker 5: Off oh i could see yeah a stronger wind yeah
- 49:22Speaker 5: i guess i was when you said.
- 49:24Speaker 3: But you're thinking like a dandelion right moving around right
- 49:28Speaker 3: in the air no no they're very light very small
- 49:31Speaker 3: it's almost like parachutes it's when you and it's a
- 49:34Speaker 3: bummer too because as you're picking those weeds sometimes you'll
- 49:39Speaker 3: pick one and it hasn't bloomed yet, and you get
- 49:42Speaker 3: the whole plant, and you're like, it's a nice clean pull.
- 49:44Speaker 5: Isn't that a good feeling?
- 49:45Speaker 3: Such a good feeling, right? But sometimes you pick one,
- 49:48Speaker 3: and like what John says, you pull the plant out
- 49:50Speaker 3: nice and clean. Yeah. And under it, you see what
- 49:54Speaker 3: it left behind.
- 49:56Speaker 5: Right. And that's why it's important to pull those early.
- 49:58Speaker 2: We have to take a break for BizTalk Radio. So
- 50:01Speaker 2: without any further pontification, we'll be back after these messages. Hi,
- 50:47Speaker 2: hello there. It must be interesting when people are watching
- 50:50Speaker 2: us on Facebook during the break.
- 50:52Speaker 5: We were having a linguistic conversation. We were, absolutely.
- 50:56Speaker 2: And John wanted to continue it into the show.
- 50:58Speaker 5: Yeah, so without further ado.
- 51:00Speaker 2: Because we were doing before that. So no more do,
- 51:03Speaker 2: further ado. And then Tiger said, let's get back on track.
- 51:06Speaker 2: So that's what we're doing.
- 51:07Speaker 3: Because I used my spatula to flip us over.
- 51:12Speaker 5: You know, sometimes our listeners' comments just make me smile
- 51:15Speaker 5: and laugh and chuckle.
- 51:16Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly right.
- 51:17Speaker 5: Like, did you read Veronica's comment after you were explaining
- 51:20Speaker 5: how to get all the little weeds out? Tiger, you know,
- 51:27Speaker 5: your neighbor's weed seeds get blown into your yard by
- 51:31Speaker 5: wind and rain.
- 51:32Speaker 3: I know. That is a bummer, right? When you have
- 51:35Speaker 3: this wonderful yard.
- 51:36Speaker 2: You can't control it.
- 51:37Speaker 3: You take great care of your landscape and you have
- 51:41Speaker 3: a neighbor that just doesn't care, lets weeds grow three
- 51:45Speaker 3: feet tall, and they just blow right into your property.
- 51:49Speaker 3: That's the worst.
- 51:50Speaker 2: You know what the answer is, don't you?
- 51:53Speaker 4: No.
- 51:54Speaker 2: Blowing in the wind.
- 51:57Speaker 3: Be ready to bleep this out. Blowing in the wind.
- 52:00Speaker 5: Lenore's piling on. She goes in birds too, probably.
- 52:06Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 52:07Speaker 2: Right. That's where volunteers come from.
- 52:09Speaker 5: I think they're saying you're fighting a losing battle, Tiger.
- 52:13Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, it is rough. It is rough.
- 52:18Speaker 5: And another thing making me chuckle is sometimes our listeners
- 52:22Speaker 5: are as off topic as we are.
- 52:24Speaker 2: I love it.
- 52:25Speaker 6: Of course.
- 52:26Speaker 5: Your buddy, Kevin. Well, we have Patty Duke buried here.
- 52:32Speaker 3: She's our claim.
- 52:33Speaker 2: You know, see, that's why I love Kevin. It's just
- 52:36Speaker 2: like an immediate left turn. It's just so random. I just,
- 52:41Speaker 2: you know, it's... It's like saying.
- 52:43Speaker 1: I.
- 52:45Speaker 2: Don't know, right?
- 52:46Speaker 3: That's very random.
- 52:48Speaker 2: It's like, hey, that Richard Crenna was a good looking guy.
- 52:50Speaker 3: Like what?
- 52:51Speaker 2: Richard Crenna was a good looking guy. My wife loves him.
- 52:54Speaker 2: He was, okay, I never, oh, he was in, no,
- 52:57Speaker 2: you know what? He was in one of the Rambos,
- 53:00Speaker 2: but he made his claim to fame earlier than that
- 53:02Speaker 2: in radio.
- 53:03Speaker 3: Was he like the general in Rambo?
- 53:05Speaker 2: And he was in Real McCoy's. I don't know what
- 53:07Speaker 2: he played in Rambo, Richard Crenna. Maybe he was.
- 53:10Speaker 5: Do you know what he was before Real McCoy's?
- 53:13Speaker 2: Yeah, he was in R. Miss Brooks.
- 53:14Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 53:14Speaker 2: He played the high school kid in R. Miss Brooks. Oh, gee, R.
- 53:17Speaker 5: Miss Brooks.
- 53:18Speaker 2: And he was like in his 20s playing a high
- 53:19Speaker 2: school kid. They all were back in the day.
- 53:23Speaker 5: Dobie Gillis. To beat a dead horse here, Carla said
- 53:31Speaker 5: that she got confused with the Sandys also.
- 53:34Speaker 2: I know. She said she.
- 53:35Speaker 5: Yes. She... She said that Sandy Dennis was in Out
- 53:40Speaker 5: of Towners.
- 53:41Speaker 2: Thank you. And Sandy Duncan was Peter Pan.
- 53:44Speaker 5: Right.
- 53:45Speaker 2: Thank you. Yes. And you know, that Out of Towners,
- 53:47Speaker 2: what a great movie.
- 53:48Speaker 5: Which was written by J.M.
- 53:49Speaker 3: Berry.
- 53:51Speaker 2: Jan Berry?
- 53:52Speaker 5: J.M.
- 53:53Speaker 3: Oh, J.M. Berry.
- 53:54Speaker 5: James Matthew.
- 53:54Speaker 2: The Out of Towners. See it. Tiger, another. It's the
- 53:57Speaker 2: quote of the week.
- 53:58Speaker 3: It's the quote of the week.
- 53:59Speaker 2: Right. Get the original Out of Towners.
- 54:01Speaker 4: Okay.
- 54:02Speaker 2: And watch it. It just, you know what? It makes
- 54:05Speaker 2: you nervous. Jack Lemmon makes you nervous. Because he's like, okay, just,
- 54:09Speaker 2: you know, because he's trying to get all this. Good movie.
- 54:12Speaker 2: Out of towners.
- 54:13Speaker 3: I think we have to set up a GoFundMe.
- 54:16Speaker 2: For the show? Are we that bad?
- 54:18Speaker 3: This is where the garden community steps in and helps
- 54:23Speaker 3: a fellow gardener. So Daisy commented, I hate that about neighbors.
- 54:31Speaker 3: I climb over the fence when it's dark, pull their
- 54:34Speaker 3: weeds out, and leave them on the ground. so the
- 54:37Speaker 3: weed seeds don't blow into my yard. I think she's
- 54:40Speaker 3: going to need some lawyer assistance.
- 54:43Speaker 5: You know, or bail.
- 54:44Speaker 3: So we should just set up a GoFundMe for her
- 54:47Speaker 3: for when her legal fees for jumping over someone's fence.
- 54:53Speaker 5: Yeah, but she's doing something good. That's like if you
- 54:57Speaker 5: left food on someone's porch, they'd sue you for trespassing?
- 55:02Speaker 3: I mean.
- 55:02Speaker 5: I guess. I don't know. I wish somebody would Come
- 55:06Speaker 5: into my yard and pull weeds.
- 55:08Speaker 3: Pull weeds for you?
- 55:09Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 55:10Speaker 3: Exactly. Be careful jumping over the fence, Daisy.
- 55:13Speaker 2: There's got to be a bunch. You know, the two
- 55:14Speaker 2: guys move you and all that kind of stuff. There's
- 55:16Speaker 2: got to be kids that like pull weeds.
- 55:19Speaker 3: You know what?
- 55:20Speaker 2: I think maybe if I was, you know, teen, early 20s,
- 55:23Speaker 2: start a business. Pull weeds. Pull weeds.
- 55:25Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 55:26Speaker 2: Imagine that. That's a great idea.
- 55:28Speaker 3: There's a whole industry on it called gardeners.
- 55:31Speaker 5: Tanya says, how I wish I could lip read.
- 55:33Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 55:35Speaker 2: No, you don't, Tonya.
- 55:36Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 55:37Speaker 2: Now, just stick to the closed caption.
- 55:39Speaker 5: Yeah. She said that maybe we need a behind-the-scenes episode.
- 55:45Speaker 2: Oh, the one you pay for, Members Only?
- 55:47Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 55:48Speaker 2: You know one of those?
- 55:49Speaker 3: Members Only.
- 55:50Speaker 2: It's a Members Only.
- 55:51Speaker 3: Do you get jackets for those?
- 55:54Speaker 2: Boy, that's an 80s reference, right?
- 55:57Speaker 5: So, you know, I'm not up to date on all
- 56:00Speaker 5: these channels and podcasts and different things.
- 56:03Speaker 2: Well, you bet her.
- 56:05Speaker 5: Well, so you're talking about doing an OnlyFans.
- 56:08Speaker 2: No, no.
- 56:09Speaker 5: Or you pay for it?
- 56:10Speaker 2: No, no, no, no. YouTube, we have a YouTube channel.
- 56:12Speaker 2: But then if you want to pay the channel and
- 56:14Speaker 2: support the creator, then you kind of go off. It's
- 56:17Speaker 2: like a sub channel. And then you'll get like unedited versions.
- 56:21Speaker 2: It's just, in other words, it's a more behind the scenes.
- 56:23Speaker 3: It's a paid version of YouTube.
- 56:24Speaker 2: It's a paid version. It's an extended version. And they
- 56:28Speaker 2: don't play by the same rules.
- 56:29Speaker 3: And so what we do is we just tell people
- 56:32Speaker 3: a bunch of falsities. And then in our paper, we
- 56:35Speaker 3: actually tell.
- 56:36Speaker 2: You the truth.
- 56:38Speaker 6: No.
- 56:38Speaker 5: But we use all kinds of expletives.
- 56:41Speaker 2: Yeah, basically. It gives you freedom for that.
- 56:43Speaker 3: That's what makes it fun, right?
- 56:47Speaker 5: Veronica says she paid good money to see us do that.
- 56:52Speaker 5: I'm not sure exactly what she's referring to.
- 56:53Speaker 2: You know what? Something tells me that she'd be a
- 56:55Speaker 2: lot of fun to hang out with.
- 56:56Speaker 5: I first met Veronica... Actually, the only time I ever
- 57:04Speaker 5: met Veronica was, I'm trying to think now, maybe, could
- 57:09Speaker 5: it have been 15 years ago, 20 years ago?
- 57:14Speaker 3: It could have been.
- 57:15Speaker 5: Maybe not that long ago.
- 57:16Speaker 2: A lot of things are possible.
- 57:17Speaker 5: But I was doing a focus group at Altman's. Oh.
- 57:25Speaker 5: And she was one of the people who came to
- 57:27Speaker 5: the focus group. I think her daughter came with her,
- 57:30Speaker 5: if I'm not mistaken, but I could be. But anyway,
- 57:34Speaker 5: I met her there.
- 57:35Speaker 2: Focus groups, people that can't sit still. Sit still and focus.
- 57:39Speaker 5: Well, she was, as I recall, she was very helpful.
- 57:43Speaker 5: I was also very sick during that. I had the flu.
- 57:46Speaker 5: Could barely talk.
- 57:49Speaker 2: And yet you found it in your heart to go
- 57:50Speaker 2: out and expose yourself to all the people. Good for you.
- 57:53Speaker 5: I did not expose myself, Brian.
- 57:57Speaker 4: That leads us to Dana's name for our Our behind-the-scenes show,
- 58:05Speaker 4: Garden America Unhinged.
- 58:09Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 58:10Speaker 5: That's the one that we do now, isn't it?
- 58:13Speaker 2: That works. Yeah.
- 58:16Speaker 3: That's funny.
- 58:19Speaker 2: That's it.
- 58:19Speaker 3: Labor Day weekend.
- 58:20Speaker 2: Okay.
- 58:20Speaker 3: So a little bit of gardening. You know what's funny
- 58:23Speaker 3: I do? So I feel this need every week. to
- 58:31Speaker 3: fill up my green waste bin before the trash comes.
- 58:35Speaker 3: Meaning because like, I'm.
- 58:36Speaker 5: Like, I feel like it's wasted.
- 58:38Speaker 3: I feel like it's wasted if I don't fill it up.
- 58:41Speaker 2: Right. You're obligated.
- 58:43Speaker 3: So there are sometimes my trash comes on Wednesday. So
- 58:47Speaker 3: there are sometimes like Tuesday night. Yeah. I'm out here
- 58:50Speaker 3: and I'm just cutting and throwing stuff in there. Right.
- 58:52Speaker 3: Fill it up. Yeah.
- 58:54Speaker 5: I feel the same way.
- 58:55Speaker 3: Okay. Not just me.
- 58:57Speaker 2: No.
- 58:57Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 59:00Speaker 2: Okay, we have to take a break. I just looked
- 59:01Speaker 2: at the clock. We have two more segments coming up.
- 59:04Speaker 2: We're going to stay on time for the network, BizTalk Radio.
- 59:07Speaker 2: Anybody asks you, it's Garden America. here on BizTalk Radio
- 59:11Speaker 2: Facebook Live. We are right back. Boy, if you're on
- 59:57Speaker 2: Facebook Live, that break was less than three seconds, John.
- 59:59Speaker 5: Wow.
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: If you're on BizTalk Radio a little longer because we
- 1:00:02Speaker 2: have sponsors who support the show, support BizTalk Radio, and
- 1:00:05Speaker 2: we appreciate it.
- 1:00:07Speaker 5: Veronica says that Garden America Unhinged could maybe have some
- 1:00:11Speaker 5: Mission Impossible music behind it, too.
- 1:00:16Speaker 2: Careful. You know what? If you hum that too long,
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: we're going to get flagged.
- 1:00:18Speaker 3: That's true, right.
- 1:00:22Speaker 5: Veronica also said I had.
- 1:00:23Speaker 2: Veronica is really popular today, isn't she?
- 1:00:26Speaker 5: She is. Veronica with a K.
- 1:00:28Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely.
- 1:00:29Speaker 5: She also said I had a good memory. What about?
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: About meeting her 15, 20 years ago, right?
- 1:00:36Speaker 5: Tiger doesn't have a good memory.
- 1:00:39Speaker 3: No, I was trying to see if John remembered.
- 1:00:44Speaker 5: No, but it's nice to know I didn't make that up.
- 1:00:48Speaker 5: I just need a little affirmation. You, by the way, Tiger,
- 1:00:51Speaker 5: have one of the best memories of anyone I really know.
- 1:00:55Speaker 5: Of course, everyone I know now is over 70.
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: My memory is better than it was when I was younger.
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: I remember things that I.
- 1:01:02Speaker 5: That never happened.
- 1:01:04Speaker 3: No.
- 1:01:05Speaker 2: I remember things that I... You know how sometimes you'll say, okay,
- 1:01:08Speaker 2: I need to remember this. I'm going to commit it
- 1:01:09Speaker 2: to memory.
- 1:01:09Speaker 3: Yes.
- 1:01:10Speaker 2: With me, it's like, I don't. I have no reason to.
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: And yet, there's the recall. And I'm not taking your
- 1:01:16Speaker 2: expense of Prevagen either.
- 1:01:18Speaker 5: Well, I don't take that anymore because it's too expensive.
- 1:01:21Speaker 5: But I really think it worked.
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: No, there's two others I take that I think really work.
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: And basically, it's just feeding your brain. But it's like
- 1:01:31Speaker 2: remembering names. I used to be, if somebody introduced to somebody,
- 1:01:33Speaker 2: you know, five minutes later, I couldn't remember their name.
- 1:01:35Speaker 2: Now I remember their name. And I'm not trying to.
- 1:01:38Speaker 2: I just do. So there's got to be something to it.
- 1:01:41Speaker 5: I have trouble remembering names now.
- 1:01:43Speaker 2: See, I don't.
- 1:01:44Speaker 5: I used to. I mean, at will. But eventually, I do.
- 1:01:48Speaker 5: Like Sandy Dennis, you know? Halfway through the show, it'll
- 1:01:51Speaker 5: come back, wait, talking about Sandy Dennis, not Sandy Duncan.
- 1:01:54Speaker 2: Yeah, that was talking about Sandy Duncan.
- 1:01:55Speaker 3: Right.
- 1:01:56Speaker 5: Dana confirmed that she was the one with the glass eye.
- 1:01:59Speaker 2: Yeah. Boy, she should have married Columbo.
- 1:02:03Speaker 5: Did he have a glass eye?
- 1:02:03Speaker 2: Peter Falk. Peter Falk had a glass eye, absolutely.
- 1:02:05Speaker 5: I didn't know that.
- 1:02:07Speaker 2: Come on.
- 1:02:08Speaker 5: Really?
- 1:02:09Speaker 2: You ever watch Columbo?
- 1:02:09Speaker 5: Yeah, I never looked him in the eye.
- 1:02:14Speaker 2: See, that was a good setup, wasn't it? That was good.
- 1:02:16Speaker 2: That was very good. We practiced that before the show
- 1:02:19Speaker 2: for a good 20 minutes. See how smooth that was?
- 1:02:24Speaker 3: Oh, my goodness.
- 1:02:24Speaker 2: Look at John's looking at Peter Falk in glass eye.
- 1:02:26Speaker 3: Where are we going now?
- 1:02:28Speaker 5: I'm wondering where Kevin's going because I haven't read a
- 1:02:30Speaker 5: comment yet, but it starts out, well, tell me about it.
- 1:02:35Speaker 5: He said his neighbor has a 150-foot ponderosa pine tree,
- 1:02:40Speaker 5: and the wind always blows needles and pine flowers. Pine flowers, pollen, right?
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:02:47Speaker 5: Into his yard at least 30 times a year.
- 1:02:51Speaker 3: 30?
- 1:02:52Speaker 5: Wow.
- 1:02:53Speaker 3: Once every two months?
- 1:02:55Speaker 5: No, it'd be like almost once every two weeks.
- 1:02:59Speaker 3: Jeez.
- 1:03:00Speaker 2: Right?
- 1:03:01Speaker 3: Yes.
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: Yeah. And what kind of discussion do you have with
- 1:03:04Speaker 2: somebody like that?
- 1:03:05Speaker 3: I was thinking that, and then I said once every
- 1:03:07Speaker 3: two months.
- 1:03:07Speaker 5: Well, he continues, what a mess. I have to clean up.
- 1:03:11Speaker 5: One note, if your neighbor's tree falls onto your house here,
- 1:03:16Speaker 5: It's not your neighbor's fault, and you have to pay
- 1:03:19Speaker 5: for the damage.
- 1:03:20Speaker 2: On your own. No, wait a minute. Where's the common
- 1:03:23Speaker 2: sense in that?
- 1:03:24Speaker 3: Yeah. It's liability. So if you cannot prove your neighbor
- 1:03:29Speaker 3: is liable for damages.
- 1:03:30Speaker 2: But it was on his property.
- 1:03:32Speaker 5: That doesn't matter.
- 1:03:33Speaker 3: Because you cannot prove. For instance, if you had sent
- 1:03:38Speaker 3: them an email from a certified arborist that said, if
- 1:03:41Speaker 3: you don't cut that branch and it falls on my house,
- 1:03:44Speaker 3: I made you aware of it. Well, now at that
- 1:03:47Speaker 3: point in time, you're liable for if it falls on
- 1:03:49Speaker 3: their house.
- 1:03:50Speaker 5: But if it's in California, anything that happens, it's your
- 1:03:53Speaker 5: neighbor's fault.
- 1:03:55Speaker 3: What do you mean? Like if your neighbor's tree falls
- 1:03:58Speaker 3: on your home in California, it's your fault?
- 1:04:01Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:04:01Speaker 3: It's their fault?
- 1:04:02Speaker 2: Their fault, right. Well, yeah, because if you're growing something,
- 1:04:04Speaker 2: you're in charge of the maintenance and the care for it.
- 1:04:06Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:04:07Speaker 2: I mean, that's just logic. Kevin, really?
- 1:04:10Speaker 5: Wow.
- 1:04:12Speaker 2: I mean, that makes no sense at all.
- 1:04:14Speaker 5: I've thought about moving to Idaho now. I'm having second thoughts.
- 1:04:19Speaker 3: They're just not logical there. Look at the names of
- 1:04:23Speaker 3: their cities.
- 1:04:24Speaker 2: Coeur d'Alene.
- 1:04:25Speaker 3: Meridian.
- 1:04:27Speaker 2: By the way, how are the boys? Are there really
- 1:04:30Speaker 2: better french fries up there? Are their french fries really
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: better in Idaho?
- 1:04:34Speaker 3: No, because they're poutine.
- 1:04:37Speaker 2: Because what? I don't know.
- 1:04:40Speaker 5: I don't know. It sounded like a French word.
- 1:04:42Speaker 3: You know what?
- 1:04:43Speaker 2: I don't have a dump button on this like we
- 1:04:45Speaker 2: used to at the studio. Seven second delay.
- 1:04:48Speaker 5: Huh?
- 1:04:48Speaker 3: You know what poutine is?
- 1:04:50Speaker 2: Yeah. Isn't it a Canadian dish? Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:04:54Speaker 3: It's gravy and French fries.
- 1:04:56Speaker 2: Oh, gosh.
- 1:04:57Speaker 3: But those big steak cut French fries.
- 1:05:00Speaker 2: But that's gravy and heavy and oh.
- 1:05:03Speaker 3: So good. That's their version of carne asada fries. Okay.
- 1:05:08Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:05:08Speaker 2: That would make sense.
- 1:05:10Speaker 5: Carl is pretty much telling Kevin to look at the
- 1:05:12Speaker 5: bright side, that pine needles make a good mulch.
- 1:05:14Speaker 3: I know. I saw that, right?
- 1:05:15Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:05:16Speaker 3: You're getting free mulch.
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: And especially if they were to fall into that picture
- 1:05:19Speaker 2: that he sent us in the newsletter, how would you
- 1:05:22Speaker 2: muddle through all that to try to clean them up?
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: You know, you're just surrounded by.
- 1:05:26Speaker 3: It's funny. So there's a place that we buy mulch from.
- 1:05:29Speaker 5: You can still have gas blowers in Idaho, though, right? Yeah.
- 1:05:33Speaker 3: We buy it from a place called Agri-Service for mulch sometimes.
- 1:05:38Speaker 3: And they have one mulch called a forest fines mulch.
- 1:05:42Speaker 3: And basically it's pine needles, oak leaves, and some shredded material.
- 1:05:46Speaker 3: So as you lay the mulch down, it looks like
- 1:05:49Speaker 3: you're in a forest.
- 1:05:51Speaker 2: Like it just fell.
- 1:05:51Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. I'm like, that's the best mulch. Because then,
- 1:05:55Speaker 3: you know when you have bark and stuff falls on it?
- 1:06:00Speaker 3: Now it makes the bark look dirty, right? But if
- 1:06:02Speaker 3: your mulch is already looking like a forest floor, then you.
- 1:06:07Speaker 2: Maybe Kevin will look at it differently now.
- 1:06:10Speaker 5: That's exactly why my favorite mulch is the stuff that
- 1:06:14Speaker 5: went through a chipper. Because it's all mixed up. But
- 1:06:20Speaker 5: like you're talking, the colored bark.
- 1:06:23Speaker 3: You have stuff fall on it. Now it looks out
- 1:06:25Speaker 3: of place.
- 1:06:26Speaker 5: You've got rose petals everywhere.
- 1:06:28Speaker 2: It falls in between it.
- 1:06:30Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't get it out. But if you have
- 1:06:31Speaker 3: forest finds mulch, hey, it looks like it was supposed
- 1:06:35Speaker 3: to be there. Oh, there's a branch that fell.
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: Yeah, it's supposed to be there. Yeah, it's supposed to
- 1:06:38Speaker 2: be there.
- 1:06:38Speaker 3: Yeah, I put that branch there. What was that? Do
- 1:06:42Speaker 3: you remember Melinda Meyer's hugelkultur? Remember the layering?
- 1:06:49Speaker 5: Hugelkultur.
- 1:06:50Speaker 2: Yeah, the layering.
- 1:06:51Speaker 3: Layering of like the branches and leaves and all the
- 1:06:54Speaker 3: stuff into your raised beds.
- 1:06:55Speaker 2: It's all about layers.
- 1:06:58Speaker 5: Lila says that she takes Nereva Plus.
- 1:07:02Speaker 2: You know what? The difference is the plus.
- 1:07:05Speaker 5: Well, I don't know, but Lila usually has a lot
- 1:07:08Speaker 5: of information at her fingertips. Now, it could be she's
- 1:07:11Speaker 5: got her phone at her fingertips, too. I don't know,
- 1:07:14Speaker 5: but it seems like it's working for her.
- 1:07:17Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so, too. I really do, because you're
- 1:07:21Speaker 2: not constantly wondering if it's working. You just go about
- 1:07:24Speaker 2: your day. It's not like a placebo where, you know, oh,
- 1:07:28Speaker 2: you know what? Yeah, I do remember that. You just
- 1:07:30Speaker 2: kind of randomly things come to you that you remember
- 1:07:33Speaker 2: that otherwise you wouldn't.
- 1:07:35Speaker 5: Kevin, by the way, in Coeur d'Alene is coming clean.
- 1:07:39Speaker 5: He said, all right, maybe it's 10 times a year.
- 1:07:43Speaker 5: He said, but it feels like 30 times because he's
- 1:07:46Speaker 5: got to do all the cleanup.
- 1:07:47Speaker 2: And by the end of the show, it might be
- 1:07:48Speaker 2: five times.
- 1:07:52Speaker 5: Tanya Tiger said she likes gorilla hair.
- 1:07:54Speaker 3: That's my favorite.
- 1:07:55Speaker 2: You like it?
- 1:07:56Speaker 3: That's my favorite.
- 1:07:57Speaker 5: I don't see it that much down here. I see
- 1:07:59Speaker 5: it more in L.A. and maybe up north.
- 1:08:03Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the best mulch. It's matting. It breaks down. Yeah.
- 1:08:08Speaker 5: You don't have that here.
- 1:08:09Speaker 3: Here we go. Oh, here am I.
- 1:08:11Speaker 2: No, no. With the nursery. I do.
- 1:08:14Speaker 3: I do sometimes put it in my garden, but no,
- 1:08:18Speaker 3: not right now. See, Diane supports me in my. comment
- 1:08:26Speaker 3: about liability.
- 1:08:27Speaker 5: So she's in red in california.
- 1:08:29Speaker 3: I had a friend whose neighbor's tree fell on her
- 1:08:31Speaker 3: porch and she was responsible because she didn't tell the
- 1:08:35Speaker 3: owner the tree could fall that's what i'm saying if.
- 1:08:37Speaker 2: You may who didn't tell the owner that if.
- 1:08:39Speaker 3: You make your neighbor known of an issue and.
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: They don't do it the neighbor should they don't.
- 1:08:44Speaker 3: Do anything about it they are responsible for whatever damages
- 1:08:49Speaker 3: they may incur but unless you tell your neighbor about
- 1:08:52Speaker 3: a possible issue They don't hold any liability.
- 1:08:55Speaker 2: Why should I... That makes no sense.
- 1:08:57Speaker 3: Because they don't know what's happening on your side of
- 1:08:58Speaker 3: the fence.
- 1:08:59Speaker 2: No, but I'm saying... if your tree falls on my side, right?
- 1:09:02Speaker 3: Yes.
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: I'm responsible.
- 1:09:03Speaker 3: Unless you tell me, hey, Tiger, that tree is going
- 1:09:06Speaker 3: to fall over.
- 1:09:06Speaker 2: It's your tree. You're taking care of it. You should
- 1:09:09Speaker 2: know better.
- 1:09:09Speaker 3: But I don't know what it looks like from your yard.
- 1:09:10Speaker 2: You know what? This is just passing the buck. This
- 1:09:12Speaker 2: is ridiculous.
- 1:09:14Speaker 5: Well, also, who's going to know whether you told them
- 1:09:19Speaker 5: or not?
- 1:09:19Speaker 2: Yeah, he never told me. He never told me.
- 1:09:21Speaker 3: Well, I mean, that's why you make sure you send a.
- 1:09:23Speaker 2: Letter or an email or something. Are you not responsible?
- 1:09:25Speaker 5: Oh, you have to have proof.
- 1:09:26Speaker 2: Yeah. Are you not responsible for all your gardening back here,
- 1:09:30Speaker 2: your plants, your trees?
- 1:09:30Speaker 3: Yeah, you're responsible.
- 1:09:31Speaker 5: Well, like you always say, you're not your brother's keeper.
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: Yeah, but the Bible says we are, right?
- 1:09:35Speaker 5: Oh, shoot.
- 1:09:38Speaker 2: This is a hot issue with me. I didn't realize
- 1:09:40Speaker 2: this really pushed my button.
- 1:09:41Speaker 3: Yeah. So like, for instance, like in your home, those
- 1:09:45Speaker 3: eucalyptus trees. Right. Okay. One branch falls, lands on your patio. Mm-hmm. Okay.
- 1:09:50Speaker 3: You go to the HOA. They're going to say, sorry,
- 1:09:57Speaker 3: that's your own home insurance was going to resolve that.
- 1:10:00Speaker 3: And you'll be like, what do you mean? It was
- 1:10:01Speaker 3: your tree. And they're going to be like, yeah, but
- 1:10:03Speaker 3: at no point in time did you ever make us
- 1:10:05Speaker 3: aware that that eucalyptus tree was going to fall down.
- 1:10:08Speaker 2: And break your patio. How would I know that it was?
- 1:10:11Speaker 3: Because you look at it and you see it, it's
- 1:10:13Speaker 3: over your house.
- 1:10:14Speaker 2: No, but I don't know that it's actually going to fall.
- 1:10:17Speaker 5: Well, you should know that it could.
- 1:10:19Speaker 3: You should know that it could. And then you bring
- 1:10:21Speaker 3: out an arborist and you say, hey, is that a possibility?
- 1:10:24Speaker 3: And they're going to say yes and say, write me
- 1:10:25Speaker 3: a note. And then I'm going to send that to
- 1:10:27Speaker 3: the HOA. And now they are liable if it does happen.
- 1:10:31Speaker 2: I'm not doing the last segment. I'm done. You've ruined
- 1:10:34Speaker 2: everything for me. We're going to take a break. We
- 1:10:36Speaker 2: have another segment.
- 1:10:37Speaker 5: We need a lawyer. Yeah.
- 1:10:38Speaker 2: Another segment. One more segment here on Garden America. Stay
- 1:10:41Speaker 2: with us. You keep shrinking?
- 1:11:00Speaker 3: In my chair.
- 1:11:01Speaker 5: I just keep going lower and lower.
- 1:11:04Speaker 3: Every time we take a break, I feel like I
- 1:11:05Speaker 3: have to reset like a typewriter.
- 1:11:06Speaker 2: You know what? You gave me a new chair this weekend.
- 1:11:08Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 1:11:09Speaker 3: You're welcome. I'm glad you noticed it.
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: How does that feel on your little legs?
- 1:11:13Speaker 5: Little legs? Little legs.
- 1:11:18Speaker 2: Okay, this is our final segment. I'm not sure where
- 1:11:21Speaker 2: to go from here, except that I'm going to sue
- 1:11:24Speaker 2: somebody after this show, because they should have known.
- 1:11:26Speaker 3: Dana just wrote, don't argue with Tiger Bryant.
- 1:11:29Speaker 2: You know, I got in a car accident. Well, you
- 1:11:31Speaker 2: should have known I was coming down the street. Yeah.
- 1:11:34Speaker 5: It's a risky take when you get in your car.
- 1:11:36Speaker 2: It's a privilege to drive, not a right.
- 1:11:38Speaker 3: I mean, keep going on this. We should switch topics.
- 1:11:41Speaker 3: But I used to live in a home where it
- 1:11:44Speaker 3: was a three-story home and someone lived below us. And
- 1:11:48Speaker 3: our washing machine flooded. And then it soaked into our
- 1:11:52Speaker 3: neighbor's property, right? You would think I would be responsible
- 1:11:55Speaker 3: for it. And I felt I was responsible for it.
- 1:11:57Speaker 3: It was our fault, our washing machine. flooded. Now it
- 1:12:00Speaker 3: went into their home. They had to redo the roof,
- 1:12:02Speaker 3: other stuff.
- 1:12:03Speaker 4: Right.
- 1:12:04Speaker 3: It called the insurance. Hey, this happened. I had no, like,
- 1:12:07Speaker 3: it was our fault. Like whatever the interest, like, no,
- 1:12:10Speaker 3: we're not going to, we're not going to pay for that. They,
- 1:12:12Speaker 3: they go through their own home insurance for that. And
- 1:12:15Speaker 3: I was like, what? It was my washer. It's my fault.
- 1:12:17Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:12:18Speaker 3: And they're like, no, no, no, you're.
- 1:12:19Speaker 2: Not liable, but they're covered. They have coverage for that.
- 1:12:21Speaker 3: They have coverage for that. You're not liable because at
- 1:12:24Speaker 3: no point in time, did they, Were you neglecting an
- 1:12:28Speaker 3: issue that created that? It was an accident. It happened.
- 1:12:31Speaker 3: It is your water. It is your washing machine. But
- 1:12:35Speaker 3: you didn't neglect anything where you are liable for it.
- 1:12:38Speaker 2: That makes sense. To me, that makes sense.
- 1:12:40Speaker 5: It sounds to me like the old accidents happen. Yeah.
- 1:12:45Speaker 3: Go through your own insurance.
- 1:12:47Speaker 2: Exactly. Anyway, we're not going to get anywhere with this.
- 1:12:52Speaker 3: Gorilla hair mulch is made from redwood, shredded redwood.
- 1:12:55Speaker 2: I thought it was made from silverback gorillas.
- 1:12:57Speaker 3: Yeah, just harvesting them in the Congo.
- 1:12:59Speaker 5: So she said it's getting hard to find?
- 1:13:02Speaker 3: Is it?
- 1:13:04Speaker 5: Well, Tanya said that it was getting hard to find,
- 1:13:06Speaker 5: and I'm thinking if you're saying that it was from redwoods,
- 1:13:10Speaker 5: maybe that's why.
- 1:13:11Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't know. They feel like they're chopping down
- 1:13:14Speaker 3: lots of redwoods still, right? I've seen it's redwood, but
- 1:13:20Speaker 3: then I've also seen cedar, I feel. Like, I think
- 1:13:23Speaker 3: it's a little bit of a blend of materials sometimes.
- 1:13:26Speaker 3: I don't know if it's all pure redwood. But, yeah,
- 1:13:32Speaker 3: I just love that shredded material over any kind of
- 1:13:34Speaker 3: bark nugget because bark nuggets drift too much. I don't
- 1:13:39Speaker 3: like the way they look over the years.
- 1:13:41Speaker 2: Well, they fade. They fade.
- 1:13:42Speaker 3: And I'm not a huge fan of the colors, you know, like...
- 1:13:45Speaker 3: you know, the reds and the browns and the black,
- 1:13:47Speaker 3: like John, John likes those nice clean.
- 1:13:50Speaker 2: I bought about two years ago, maybe a year and
- 1:13:52Speaker 2: a half. I bought red for the pots and yeah,
- 1:13:56Speaker 2: for the first six, eight months, it looked nice. Nah,
- 1:13:59Speaker 2: it just kind of faded. It just looks like whatever.
- 1:14:02Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:14:04Speaker 2: Whatever. I guess, I guess what you could do is
- 1:14:06Speaker 2: buy a lot of it. And then once, The bark fades.
- 1:14:10Speaker 2: You just keep changing it, right?
- 1:14:11Speaker 3: Well, you know the hard thing? Another reason why I
- 1:14:14Speaker 3: love the shredded material is it does break down into
- 1:14:16Speaker 3: the soil. It actually amends the soil where the bark nuggets,
- 1:14:21Speaker 3: like you said, it doesn't look good. It's very hard
- 1:14:24Speaker 3: to put down just more bark nuggets because they build up.
- 1:14:28Speaker 3: And the next thing you know, you've got a foot
- 1:14:30Speaker 3: of bark.
- 1:14:31Speaker 2: Right, right, right.
- 1:14:32Speaker 3: You have to take it away. You have to take
- 1:14:34Speaker 3: out the old stuff.
- 1:14:35Speaker 2: And put new on. Yeah, the whole thing.
- 1:14:36Speaker 3: Where with the shredded stuff, you just put new stuff
- 1:14:38Speaker 3: right on top.
- 1:14:39Speaker 2: And it just keeps, it just sinks. Yeah.
- 1:14:42Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:14:42Speaker 2: I will do that next time.
- 1:14:43Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:14:44Speaker 3: So. Kevin Rotit. Sorry, Brian. I didn't mean to get
- 1:14:51Speaker 3: you so riled up. It's just that we moved here
- 1:14:54Speaker 3: and saw many, many houses that were destroyed by 100
- 1:14:58Speaker 3: mile an hour winds with trees crashing on the roofs.
- 1:15:01Speaker 3: the people didn't have good insurance. We were shocked to
- 1:15:04Speaker 3: see it.
- 1:15:04Speaker 2: Yeah. And you know, insurance companies will do whatever they
- 1:15:08Speaker 2: can not to pay out.
- 1:15:10Speaker 3: Oh, just like, I mean, Janine and I were talking
- 1:15:12Speaker 3: about it this week with our home because, you know,
- 1:15:14Speaker 3: in California, there's a lot of insurance happenings right now
- 1:15:16Speaker 3: because fire, right.
- 1:15:19Speaker 2: All the floods, right.
- 1:15:20Speaker 3: You know, the earthquakes and Janine and they was like, Oh,
- 1:15:23Speaker 3: do you want to buy in earthquake insurance? And Janine's like,
- 1:15:26Speaker 3: what do you mean? Like we have insurance. And I'm like,
- 1:15:28Speaker 3: not if there's an earthquake, if, if it, if.
- 1:15:31Speaker 2: That's exactly right.
- 1:15:32Speaker 3: What is your normal home insurance? It's pretty much just...
- 1:15:41Speaker 3: What does it even include? Because don't you have to
- 1:15:42Speaker 3: have a supplement or earthquake, fire, and flood?
- 1:15:45Speaker 2: It depends on the insurance that you buy. I can
- 1:15:47Speaker 2: tell you right now the earthquake is different. It's not
- 1:15:50Speaker 2: that expensive, though.
- 1:15:51Speaker 4: No, it was like $ 100 or whatever.
- 1:15:54Speaker 2: Now, we have it for our rental, I think. I
- 1:15:56Speaker 2: don't know if we still have it for where we live,
- 1:15:58Speaker 2: but the big one's coming.
- 1:16:01Speaker 3: Yeah. You suggest getting earthquake insurance now? It's cheap.
- 1:16:07Speaker 2: I don't know, right?
- 1:16:08Speaker 5: I had my house damaged by that last earthquake.
- 1:16:11Speaker 2: Yeah, that crack, right?
- 1:16:11Speaker 5: Yeah. I got two cracks from it.
- 1:16:14Speaker 3: Do you have earthquake insurance?
- 1:16:15Speaker 2: How do you feel?
- 1:16:15Speaker 5: No.
- 1:16:16Speaker 3: No.
- 1:16:17Speaker 5: For an old man, I feel pretty good.
- 1:16:19Speaker 3: Do you have fire? Can you get fire? Because there's
- 1:16:21Speaker 3: some areas that cannot get fire, right?
- 1:16:23Speaker 5: You have to have fire insurance.
- 1:16:25Speaker 3: You.
- 1:16:25Speaker 5: Whether you can get it or not, you have to
- 1:16:27Speaker 5: have it.
- 1:16:28Speaker 3: I thought there were some places that like they're just
- 1:16:30Speaker 3: not even insuring for fire because of the wildfires.
- 1:16:33Speaker 5: Without going through the state. Oh. The state has something
- 1:16:37Speaker 5: that you can get through them.
- 1:16:38Speaker 2: You know, I like an insurance company to like Las
- 1:16:41Speaker 2: Vegas or a bookie or gambling because, and here's why.
- 1:16:45Speaker 3: So true.
- 1:16:46Speaker 2: Because insurance will always take in a lot more money
- 1:16:48Speaker 2: than they'll pay out. And that's how they stay in business.
- 1:16:51Speaker 2: And that's how Las Vegas stays in business basically right
- 1:16:53Speaker 2: at the gambling place because they pay out. less than
- 1:16:55Speaker 2: they take in. So can you imagine like an insurance
- 1:16:58Speaker 2: company says, no, we're not covering that. So you go
- 1:17:01Speaker 2: to Vegas and you win big and you go to
- 1:17:02Speaker 2: cash in your chips. Nah, we're not going to pay you.
- 1:17:06Speaker 2: Why not? Because you're on that table over there for
- 1:17:09Speaker 2: three hours. You know, you're here too long.
- 1:17:12Speaker 3: You're here too long.
- 1:17:13Speaker 2: We're just not going to pay out.
- 1:17:16Speaker 5: Tanya disagrees with you.
- 1:17:18Speaker 3: Okay. About?
- 1:17:19Speaker 5: She said that earthquake insurance is very expensive.
- 1:17:23Speaker 2: Not here.
- 1:17:24Speaker 5: She said she pays half of what she does on
- 1:17:27Speaker 5: her homeowners.
- 1:17:27Speaker 2: Ours was very cheap. Very cheap. I think it depends
- 1:17:31Speaker 2: on where you are.
- 1:17:32Speaker 3: Well, no. I really think it depends on your coverage.
- 1:17:34Speaker 5: Well, she's in San Jose, too.
- 1:17:35Speaker 3: Well, it depends on your coverage. That's true.
- 1:17:37Speaker 5: Yes.
- 1:17:38Speaker 3: Meaning you can get good insurance, like auto insurance. You
- 1:17:45Speaker 3: get a good one that covers a rental car, covers
- 1:17:48Speaker 3: a full repair, blah, blah, blah, blah. Or you can
- 1:17:51Speaker 3: get like the baseline auto insurance, which is like you're
- 1:17:55Speaker 3: covered in case you hit somebody.
- 1:17:57Speaker 2: Here's an insurance story real quick. No, we don't have time. Well, yes,
- 1:18:03Speaker 2: we do. So my cracked windshield, right? Okay. So that's
- 1:18:07Speaker 2: $ 100 deductible. Very good. Then there were some minor scratches
- 1:18:10Speaker 2: on the hood as a result of whatever it was
- 1:18:13Speaker 2: that scraped against there and hit the windshield. The insurance
- 1:18:16Speaker 2: company treated it all the same and we paid $ 100 deductible.
- 1:18:19Speaker 2: That was it.
- 1:18:19Speaker 3: Sweet.
- 1:18:21Speaker 2: There's a positive insurance.
- 1:18:22Speaker 3: So there's a positive part of insurance.
- 1:18:24Speaker 2: Now I wait for the next time that it's time
- 1:18:25Speaker 2: to re-up? Yeah. Oh, we had to raise your rate. Yeah.
- 1:18:28Speaker 4: Why?
- 1:18:28Speaker 2: Because you used us.
- 1:18:29Speaker 3: Because you used us.
- 1:18:30Speaker 5: But you know, you never collect on life insurance either.
- 1:18:33Speaker 2: We have to go. Thank you so much for spending
- 1:18:35Speaker 2: part of your... Yeah.
- 1:18:36Speaker 3: Oh, wow.
