What's going on with my apple tree?

your yard right now? You got a question, give me a call seven one three two one two fifty eight seventy four seven one three two one two five eight seven four or make it easy, KTRH. Give us a call. We'll talk about the things that are of interest to you. I was hunting down a product the other day and uh, I couldn't believe it. I thought it was more widely available. It was a product for stopping regrowth of stumps and

printing cuts and things like that. Because I've got a well, I've got a couple of things that are giving me some trouble with that. One is a crate myrtle. Crate myrtles are bad about re sprouting from the base and even from like if you cut off a limb of any size at all, you get resprouts all around where you cut it off. And there are hormones in the plant that can prevent that, and you can purchase and

spray them on. One of them is called sucker stopper, and I see what's in there's several of them, something about stump ory sprouting as part of another one's name. Anyway, they work, and so I was trying to find that product spray on. In my case, it wasn't just a crape myrtle. It was a Vitex. Vitex is a beautiful blue blooming summer shrub slash tree. It's really kind of caught between the two. It's hard to get it to

be one single trunk, although you can. I'm working on it right now, and I sucker type type reducing products are important if you're going to try to get it to be one trunk. But anyway, I've got one. I cut off all but one central trunk on and I'm trying to train it into a tree. I'm going to find out if it works before I tell you it works for sure. I think I can do it. We'll

find out anyway. Bottom line is I couldn't find a product, and I went three different places looking around for the product, and finally I just, you know, I realized, if you're going to find something like that, where do you go for something that other people don't carry or even all the things that everybody carries. Southwest Fertilizer it's a corner of Businet and Runwick. Bob, you know, he's gosh. That

place is now on it's seventieth year. By the way, Bob's not if you're listening, Bob, I just want to make sure we get that real clear, you and I both. There's somewhere south to seventy joking aside, It has been around for seventy years, and it's it's around for seventy years because they carry products people want, They treat people like they want to be treated, They have reasonable prices, and it just that's it. Friendly service, quality products and

great selection. Corner Busnet and Renwick. Save yourself trouble running all over the place. Just go to Southwest and they're going to have it products like what I'm talking about for example. Then anyway it seems to be working so far, we're gonna we're gonna watch it and see how it goes.

But that's a that's a pretty handy deal. It's kind of cool too, because you're basically taking a plant's natural hormones and you're turning it into something to help you get that plant to grow like you want it to be. By the way, of course, it's turf fertilizing season. Time to get out there and do that. You need to make sure you got what you need in order to fertilize. And if you go online to gardening with Skip dot com, that's my website, Gardening with Skip dot com, you'll find

my schedules plural. There's one that is a lawn care schedule. It's mow water, fertilized air rate supplements, micro supplement. Well, that's on the schedule. The other one is what goes wrong with your lawn and what to do about it. That would be preventing weeds, that would be killing existing weeds, that would be dealing with diseases and dealing with insects

for example. Both of those schedules are free. You can download them, you can stare at them on your computer or on your phone, whatever you won't do, and they work. By the way, while you're at Southwest, grab some of the Eagle turf fungicide if you're dealing with gray leaf spot. Gray leaf spot is a problem on Saint Augustine when the temperatures are mildly warm, not one hundred degrees and

blazing dry. But when they're warm, they've heated up for summer, the beginning of summer which we're in now, and the humidity and surface. More importantly, the surface moisture on the grass blades is high. So if it rains a lot, which it did, we got seven inches a couple of weeks ago and saw a little bit of gray leaf spot showing up. If you water too often, I always tell you water deeply and infrequently. It's simple. How do

you water your lawn? Two words, deeply, infrequently. When you water, give it a good soaking, then let it dry out and keep those grass blades as dry as you can for as long as you can. You can't control rain, but you can't control your irrigation. And when it stays wet, a lot and it's warm, gray leaf spots going to attack. And if you look at my schedule for plant problems, for lawn problems rather a gray leaf spots season is listed in there when it could occur. Sometimes you have

a little it's not worth treating. But when you need to treat, Eagle turf Fungicide from Nitrofoss works. It is a systemic It moves into the plant and it sticks around, and it gives you an extended period of control as a result of that doesn't just wash off with the next train. So Eagle Turf Fungicide by Nitrofoss is a product that we would recommend for take the not take off the gray leaf spot. That's what I'm talking about

right now. Anyway, it's easy to do, easy to do. Hey, when it comes to the lawns, I just I'll talk about this a little bit more later. I just have been working on a couple of lawns this season that we're trying to get in better order. And I'm going to talk a little bit about what do you do when you want to when you want or need to maybe don't want to, but need to replace a lawn.

And there's some simple steps for doing that. Now, for those of you who already have a line, you need to think about getting that lawn in its top shape for summer. And the way we do that is by applying something that's gonna gradually be released over time. You don't want fast flushes of growth. Don't just dump a bunch of high nitrogen fertilizer at one time on your lawn. Get you some Nitrofoss Superturf. That's the silver bag Nitrofas

Superturf nineteen four to ten. Put it down and it's going to be sixteen weeks of gradual feeding of your lawn. That's the way you want to do it. You're gonna find nitro Fass Superturf at places like Plants and things up in Brenham, Fisher's Hardware on Alexander down in Baytown, and Lake Hardware Clute on Dixie Drive as well. I'm gonna take a little break right now and we'll come back with your calls if you'd like to be first up.

Seven one three two point two KTRH. I woke up into this week late in the week and I could not even whisper without coffee. I thought, oh boy, we got this thing called a radio show. To do I have you have to have a sick day? Knock on? What since I started doing Guarden Line, where I just literally couldn't do the show? Uh, And anyway, I thought, oh, this may be one of them. I may have my first one. But thanks to a good family doctor and some wonderful medications, I'm here. So we'll try. We'll see

how coherent I can be today. But at least I got my voice back where we can talk. And by the way, if you like the talk seven one three two one two k t r H seven to one three two one two k t r H. If you've been down to in Chenny Gardens lately, you know I one of my favorite things that I like to do is to get out there and visit garden centers. And

I do a lot. And it's not just because I do Garden Line or you know, for years it's County Agrolife Extension Horticulture with the texting and uh agrolife extension.

tools suppliers. And I learned something every time. Absolutely do. You got to You have to have a great level of disinterest to not continually be learning as a gardener. And I mean that because when it comes to gardening, uh, there's always something new there just always is. And Channa Gardens is like a prime example of that. Every time I go into a Channa Gardens there are plants that I have not seen before because the industry is out

there churning them out left and right. And by the way, the taxonomists are out there changing the name left and right too much to my chagrin. But anyway, the Chenna Gardens will give you the options that you have, by the way, by really nice, friendly staff that know what they're talking about. And I don't care what you're interested in. Maybe some new types of hydranges, maybe you're into hanging baskets.

You know, I've been kind of pushing on you this year, saying you got to get out and do some containers. You are not going to believe the selection of containers. Every kind of plain old you know, terra cotta, but quality terracotta, not the cheap junk that you buy at some places. Quality terracotta. Talavera, the beautiful paint of Talavera, and all the inspiration you need. Go by and look at some of the submarines put together there. Look at

the combo containers that she's built. I'm talking about everything from hanging baskets to upright containers, to things that are just unusual shapes and forms, almost like the container itself is another figurine in the garden. They've got all of that. And when it comes to color for summer, Boogainvilias got a bunch of desert rows in too. By the way, those are gorgeous. If you've never tried desert rows, that

would be a new plant to take on. One time years ago, a wise man, a doctor Georgia A. Mckeachen, who was a pomology professor of mine at tex A and m He said, every year, you pick one plant and you learn all you can about it for the whole year. It's not that you only learn about one planet.

It's just like and for me, I've done that. You know, I'll spend a whole year on a particular kind of plant, just learning and learning and learning all I can about that plant, and then the next year try something else. It doesn't have to be twelve months, but you get the idea and you just you just build, you build out your knowledge. Maybe you're really into African violets, or maybe you don't even know how to spell African violet, we'll start messing around. Learn about them, get one, play

with it, try to propagate it. Things like that makes gardening really fun. Well in Chenni Garden's got you covered on all that. They're on the FM. They're on FM three point fifty nine on the Katie fullsher side of Richmond. You can go to in Jennigardens Richmond dot com and find out more. But the main thing is just go and today would be an outstanding day to get out and pay them a visit. Let's head out now to Spring, Texas and we're going to visit with CR this morning.

Hello CR, Welcome to garden Line.

still they'll be earthwork. If you're watering and it's moist, you're gonna have earthworms and other things for them to look for. Plus it's easier to root their little nose through soft dirt than hard concrete clay. Uh. So that that leaves us CR with with capturing in a live trap and taking them somewhere else, relocating them to another location. The the those live traps can be baited.

the house or along a fence or something. You know, they tend to kind of not just wander aimlessly all through the yard, but they tend to have a way they travel, and you can sort of set up that those boards coming like a v outside out of that trap and lead them in. If you will take elbow macaroni like mac and cheese macaroni and just boil the macaroni and beef bull yon. It's like you've created some little grub like creatures by doing that, and you can

drop one here, drop one there. Don't get them too full before they get in the trap, but you can lead them right into the live trap that way, and it makes it a little easier to catch them.

I don't know what we were going to do with them when we caught them, but we caught them, and then we kind of realized we didn't have anything to do with them, so let them go catch and release. You know, we are in nesting season still for many of our songbirds. I've got I have some swallows, barn swallows, that are nesting underneath our front porch, and we let them do that. We just love them. We love the songs that they little chirping sounds that they make there.

I don't know if song is a good way to describe it, but we like them. And when the babies get old enough, they sit up on the edge of the nest and there's not likely have little wide fat smiles and you can look out the window and see them. But anyway, this is the time when a lot of birds are nesting, and the folks at wild Birds Unlimited have a perfect blend of seeds to provide all kinds of birds, many many kinds of birds what they need

this Season's called Nesting Super Blend. You're only going to get it at Wildbird's Unlimited. Now. You can buy it in loose bags to put in any kind of feeder you got, and it also comes in seed cylinders that are compressed, And so if you're going to go on a little trup, a seed cylinder is a nice way to go because the birds kind of have to peck at it to get it out of there. It slows

them down just a little bit. I mean, they'll clean I've got boy now that birds have found my feeders, they just are like lined up and waiting and so they will clean me out pretty quick here. So anyway, I like the seed cylinders too. Now there are six Wildbirds Stores Wilbirds Unlimited stores here in the greater Houston area.

So you can find Wildbirds Unlimited in Kingwood. You can find Wildbirds Unlimited in clear Lake or in pair Land in Houston on the west side, when the southwest I both are bel Air and Memorial Dry both have wild Birds Unlimited stores. And then in Cypress on Barker Cypress that is another of the six wild Birds Unlimited. You can go to w b U dot com, w b U dot com forward Slash Houston to find the wild Birds Unlimited store near you. Let's head out now to

a task casita and we're going to talk to Jim. Hey, Jim, good.

fertilized this year, you could also fertilize this year. And so if you wanted, you know, something that's going to be slower released to carry you through summer, that would be a good choice. Right now, I talk about the Nitrofoss superturf in the soilber bag is an excellent product for that. The folks at Nelson have a product that's

called Bruce's Brew, and it is a combo. It gives you some fast release, so you can get a good quick boost, but then it spreads out where you're gonna get, you know, several months of feeding out of it over time too, so that's a good option as well. They're both on my schedule. And then water with about a half inch of water just to move the barricade into the soil surface and the fertilizer dissolve it and get it going down into into the soil a little bit, start to get it.

unfortunately it's gonna take me a while to find. I tell you what I'll do. We're gonna take a break here in a little bit and I will find some sources of Nelson plant food in the task Asta area. And I'll just say I'm on the air for you when we come back. How's that?

take a break. We'll be back with your calls. If you would like to be one of the first up seven one three two one two kt r H. Now would be a good time to give us a call. All right, folks, welcome back to garden Lines. In answer to Jim's call, where to find Nelson plant food products like Russus Brew out in that area. Ace Hardware a task Asita on timber forest in Humble, Texas. Jim Ace

Hardware a task Asita on timber Forest and Humble. They carry according to their website, Nelson's website, they carry the some of the Nelson plant food products. So that hopefully gets you off to a good start. Let's see here, We're going to go out to Brunham now and talk to Rodney. Hello Rodney, and welcome to garden Line. Thanks Jip.

keylated form of iron. Keylate is c A E L A t E. It's like it's it's spelled like chi late, but it's pronounced key late. It is an iron that has a little bodyguard around it that keeps the soul from tying it up so fast. I would try that and see if you see some benefits a little quick green up from that. Other longer term would be maybe continuing to use your acid loving plant fertilizers, but maybe even a little bit of sulfur to lower the pH of the soil. Just want to be real careful with that.

If you wanted to send me a picture so I could look at it and make sure that what I'm picturing is what you're seeing, I'd be happy to take a look at it too. Where will the time that the key lated, You're going to find it all over the place. Any place that's you know, really into gardening,

the independent garden centers, your ace hardware stores. A. Yeah, you're out there in Brenhams, so you know you're gonna find it, you know, if you if you can find a nice hearder, they probably have a keylated form out there. Plants and things on a Highway three sixty five might have it. I've been by there to check for that. But they carry a lot of things out there, and I know they carre some of our sponsor products at plant Plants and things as well by skip. I appreciate it,

all right, sir, you take care. Thanks for the call. That is the case RCW Nurseries RCW Nursery is it's I love that garden center. I just first of all, I like the convenience of it. It's it's local. It's right where Tomo Barkway two forty nine comes into a eight, so it's really easy to get to. When you go to RCW, you're going to find everything that you're looking for. And they've got a Memorial Day sale that begins, well it has begun, and ten percent off all the krpe

myrtles and roses ten percent off. So now they're a great time and it's still time. Get them in the ground, get them watered in, just help them along a little bit as the weather worms up. They'll be fine. Twenty percent off of their metal yard art, and that includes those metal arbors, metal benches, trellises to grow things on. Those are gorgeous. And they have other kinds of little metal yard art, you know, hangs on the walls, decorative.

It's is really beautiful stuff. So stop by RCIW this weekend and take advantage of some of those Memorial weekend savings. And boy did they ever have an outstanding selection of crate myrtles. And remember when you buy a crate myrtle from Marcy W or wherever you get a crate myrtle, by the size that you want, don't you know? Natchez is a great beautiful crpe myrtle, wonderful tree disease resistant, thirty feet tall, beautiful white flowers and cinnamon colored bark.

I love it. But if you've got a spot where you need a ten foot crpe myrtle, don't put natches in there. Get you one that only gets smaller ten field there, crpe myrtle to get three feet high there, Cramerle's get thirty feet high. Pick a good one, and boy does our CW have an outstanding selection for you. Just run by there and check it out again. Talmball Parkway be Way eight, RCW nurseries dot com. Let's go now out to New Caney. We'll visit with Armando there. Armando,

Welcome to garden Line. Good morning, Good morning.

or at least quickly. I would recommend watering twice a day, And it looks to me like it could have been that before the grass could get roots down, it went through a dry period. And sometimes that's when it's sitting at wherever you bought the grass, you know, before you picked it up, it was already going in distress. Sometimes it's when you get at home and the process of

getting it planted. But last time I planted grass, I even was squirting a little bit of water on the palletts, just because there were a couple of pallets we hadn't gotten to yet, and I was keeping them moist. I put it down, and as soon as I can, I start putting little water on it just to help it. And then, like I usually tell people, twice the day the first week, once a day the second week, just

as a general guy. Depends on the temperature and whether it's sun or shade, of course, but it looks like that. It also could be some takeoll root rot involved. But this happened so fast that I don't think unless it was already going downhill from take all, I don't think that happened at your house because of how.

can get involved if that's what you need. Maybe you just want to do some rock borders or some walkways. Maybe you got a drainage issue, maybe you need irrigation fixed, or you want to hire them for a quarterly service to make your place constantly look good. Every three months. They come out, they moltch, they take out the weeds if there are any. They make sure the irrigation's working. You know that fresh mult on the silt. They replace

color bed color if it's time for that. So you're transitioning from one season to another, Pierscapes will keep your place. Let's put it this way. They'll make your place look good and they'll keep your place looking good. They can do both. Pierscapes dot Com. I'm going to take a little break now and when we come back, Jim and Spring, you'll be our first up. Welcome back to the garden line. Good have you with us? Hey, how can we help you have a better place and more fun gardening? You

tell me, give me a call. Let's let's do that. Gardening is supposed to be fun and we want you to have success. That's what we're here about. Part of that is, for example, in containers, having several things. Number one, a container that has good drainage holes. Drainage is critical. Now I've grown things without good drainage tools before, especially indoor because I totally control the water. But you get outside.

We had some succulence and a container outside underneath and let's say a porous ceiling, you know, like an arbor top with some plants on it. And I'm telling you, we got rain and rain and rain, and they drowned because they didn't have good internal drainage. The soil held too much. It wasn't gritty enough. I guess for them, and there wasn't enough drainage holes. Well, if you got the container that has good drainage hools, then a soil that holds water some but drains very well is important.

And jungle land flour and vegetable planting soil distributed by nitro Foss is a quality product that will do just those two things above. You can find it at Lakeward or Hardware in Angleton, which is north of Glasco. Down there in Angleton you go up to Sagemont m and D. Beamer on Beamer that area and there's also a Fisher's Hardware. I'm at Bellevue on FM thirty one eighty where you're going to find Nitrofoss products. Let's head out to Spring

and we're going to visit with Jim. Hello, Gum, and welcome to garden line.

because I've done everything right. I've fertilized every year and well, in fact, the last two seasons, I really haven't had to fertilize because it's been so dark and green and thick, watered every day. And the only thing I did different was towards the end of the season last year, I put down a fertilizer because I had some weeds coming up, and I didn't use the typical fertilizer like I've always used. And this year it's just wiped out half of my yard.

It's brown and I'm pulling my hair out. I don't know what's going on.

is for you to take some pictures. Let me see the whole on and then get up as close as you can, make sure it's in good sharp focus. Attach the photos to the to the email so that I can zoom in really good and look. Uh. And let me take a look at those, and I'll give you a better answer than me just shooting from the hip here with my best guests being take all root right as being a likely cause that I can't be certain about that at all, based based on just kind of the description of dead spots.

Road FM twenty nine seventy eight. When you go into Spring Creek Feed there's always something interesting. First of all, they greet you, you get treated right in there, and it just makes it more pleasant, you know, to go in and shop lots of good stuff.

you're going to redo the whole. Lawn however you want to go about, it whatever you need to, do now's a good time to get it. Done it is warm enough now where grass is very actively. Growing you put it down and you hope it get. Established is because those early days are very. Important here's WHAT i mean when you put sod out right. Now first of, all you want the sod that is absolutely, fresh absolutely dug

that morning. Fresh you want to put, it put the side pieces down on prepared soil that means its holes have been filled in that there's no weeds that are come back through the. Side if you've got nuts edge or bermuda, grass for, example in your, property and you lay Your Saint augustine's od right on top of, it or any kind of sod on the nuts, edge it's going to be right. Through and now you're dealing with how DO i kill this weed in my turf? Grass

and it's much. Harder it's much easier instead to kill the weeds, first get rid of. THEM i don't care how long it. TAKES i was advising one of my daughters sign in law on a property they're doing and they've again several weeks ago or prior to, planting to get rid of those perennial. Weeds because you you may spray, them but then you're not going to get them. All they'll be. Back and when they come, back, now what

do you? Do, well you, know you spray them. Again and then they did it three times to make sure they've got it all under. Control then the sod went in on top of. It that is an important first step is get rid of perennial weeds. First your options are way, way way better if you get rid of the weeds before you put the sod. In so that's just a.

of acidic types of organic matter in?

Gardeners let's go up To cyprus now we're going to visit With eric a little. Bit Hey, Eric welcome to Garden.

What i'm. About time. Lapse so if you were to take a pruning cut and you were to watch it through the year From january To december time, lapse what you would see is in winter it's not closing at, all and then in spring it closes real, fast and then in summer it slows down to a, crawl and then in fall it speeds up a little, bit and then it shuts down again in. Winter, Okay so that's why we like to prune at the end of winter, ideally because we get the fast time of healing right following.

That so you can prune though, anytime it's just not going to close as, quickly and you don't want to take out save the bulk of you're pruning for, winter and do pruning through the year as needed here and.

to strip the bark. Off and when you're, pruning you don't want a limb to fall and to rip a little banana peel section of bark with it when it. Falls so you want to use a three point, cut and you need to go look that one up. Online there's lots with a search engine you can find about three point. Cuts and we'd like to do printing when the bark, isn't as they, say, slipping it's much better to avoid it when it's.

a beautiful land cape and more fun in the. Process and by the, WAY i talking earlier, TODAY i was talking about being sitting outside with family, yesterday just enjoying the end of the. Day sun had gone, down so that was still you, know upper, eighties low nineties even, initially BUT i didn't feel so bad because we're just sitting. Still we got a little family put on us out there sometimes so it's a little, hotter but we enjoyed. It but you know WHAT i, noticed there were almost

no mosquitoes, outside almost. Done and we had two weeks ago seven inches of rain in our. House and that means every little thing that can hold water has got a puddle of water in. It and all it takes for a mosquito to reproduce is a bottle cap full of, water literally like a thumbleful of. Water basically that is not much. Water and so there it was mosquito breeding. Season and this is the same way at your. HOUSE i mean it could be your irrigation sprinklers coming on

filling up. Something it could be you water and a, plant and underneath the plant pot that little tray underneath that holds. Water mosquitos will breathe in there and they can do. That and months AGO i had Pest Bros come out and install their mosquito buckets at my. Place, now a mosquito bucket is not like this force field that goes out and kills any mosquito that flies over the fence from your. Neighbors but every mosquito the buckets

draw them to the. Bucket there's an odor that you can't smell, it but the mosquitoes can and they go to. IT i never smell my head right over the. BUCKET i don't smell, anything but the mosquitoes, can and they go to. It and they land in, there and when they, land they get stuff on their, feet and that's the beginning of the end for the. Mosquito they lay eggs in,

there and you see all these. REGULARS i opened the bucket lid the other day covered with the regulars little tomato mosquito larva in, there and they were just going to. Town but those larva will never turn into an adult mosquito because that bucket won't it's got stuff in it won't let. Them but the fact that they're, there that stagnant water brings more mosquitoes in and the odor so they, land they get stuff on their. Feet that does two.

Things one of them is a disease of. Mosquitos and that mosquito's got about a week to live before it'll take it. OUT i. BELIEVE i believe a week is correct on. That but you don't want to kill them right, there because you want them to fly off and go to other places where they will lay eggs in other bits of, water and by this stuff they carry with them on their, feet mosquitoes can't grow in that water. Either and it just, works, Well, yeah you want that

mosquito going around everywhere there's stagnant. Water you want a mosquito from one of your buckets to go, there and it just causes this suppression of mosquitos through the whole airt and it doesn't kill every mosquito there. IS i, mean nothing's going to do. That you get you a foger out there and nuke your house and yard every, day and you're still gonna have mosquito to fly in whenever the mist settles from the. Fogger, okay But i've

never seen anything like. IT i, mean last night was the first time we saw a few mosquitos, around just a. Few. Uh AND i don't like the in the. FOGGERS i have. One i've used, it and when we're gonna have a party with people out and. Stuff in the, PAST i would get it out because you, know you know how bad mosquitoes can. BE i Know i'm droning on about, this BUT i was just really really impressed with the way this worked and that Pest. Bros is that the

folks that brought it. Out Pest. Bros covers the whole. Area and they don't just do. Mosquitos they cover the area From baytown all the way across To, katie From Texas city all the way up to the. Woodlands you need termite work, done they're experts at. That you, need you, know indoor treatment of indoor, past you got fire ants, outside they do it. All Pest. Bros the website is the Pest bros B. Ros thepest bros dot com two eight, one two oh six forty six seventy two eight one

two o six forty six. SEVENTY i Know i'd droned on about the mosquito, thing but, LISTEN i have had so many suffering summers with mosquitoes that anything that reduces them is. Helpful and this is this works really. WELL i can deal with a, FEW i, mean Because i'm not willing to pay the environmental cost of constantly nuking every bush and shrub and part of my. Property but, boy does this ever? Work? Well all, right well there you. Go can you Tell i'm excited about? IT i. Am

let's head out To dickinson and we're going to talk To. Linda, Now, Hey, linda welcome to Garden. Line good.

on the other. One gray leaf spot causes gray spots on the, leaves and if you look close you'll see some on, there and then the grass blades will often. Die the tip turns, brown sometimes the whole grass blade turns brown and it just looks like dying. Out but that grass will regrow, fresh healthy. Leaves the more you can minimize how much of the time the leafs the grass blades spend, wet the. Better the wetter it, is

the more gray leaf spots you're going to. Have you can treat it with a product From nitrofoss Called Eagle Turf Fungicide eagle like the. Bird but at this, STAGE i don't. Know you could go ahead and do a treatment on, it or you could just kind of wait and see and if if you go through perags of rainy, weather it's going to be. Worse but as it heats up and gets a little drier on, US i think you're going to see it naturally reduce it as.

of a century. Plant AND i was, wondering is this the end of the life of this BlackBerry or SHOULD i now at?

prime is in one year number. One then they go through winter and they become a. Floricane, now some of the thornlets like what you're talking, about they will produce in the primacine year the first, year but after the second year they need to be. Removed and so those shoots are. Fine WHAT i would do rufus is once it gets up to about chest, HIGH i would pinch the top out or snip the top out of, it

and it'll force more side. Shoots and those side shoots will be where you get all your your, fruit the primary fruit from. Those so time to some people put a wire across. There, pardon.

You if it's some if it's one of the the everbearing and not ever. Bearing if it's one of the primate cane, bearers then you get a little bit the first year, too and then you can also have some the second. Year but generally blackberries producing the second year that a shoot has, grown and then it will not refruit after. That, okay good luck with, those have. FUN i remember you just on guarden.

Scott, Hello, scott welcome to Garden. Line Good, lawren thanks for having.

something in for. That as far as what do you pay per pound of, nutrient it's a much more expensive way to. Fertilize you, know it's less expensive to put a dry granule on the, surface work it, in and you, know fertilize that, way the traditional. Way there's nothing wrong

with the. Furtigation you just need to have an injector that puts it out at the right, rate not too, strong and you need to have a backflow preventter so that when it goes, off sometimes there can be a backflow into your your water system and then you would have contaminated your water with that fertilizer. Water so there's a breaker valve that prevents the back. Flow you need

to have that for. Sure but the some injectors force the fertilizer into the irrigation system like with a, pump and some of them use something called a venture system whereas the water flows, by it just naturally pulls a little bit of the fertilizer water into. It those are less, expensive much less technical to deal, with but not as controllable and accurate as a pump system would.

Time and, yeah the venturi is it's a little typically it looks like just a little section of plastic that has a hose that comes out of, it and you have a five gallon bucket with your fertilizer in. It you drop that hose into the five gallon bucket and as the water flows by in your, irrigation it just pulls it out of the. Bucket that's the simplest.

it In southwest. Fertilizer you see it in garden, centers our independent garden centers around. Town Nitroposs superturf nineteen four, ten silver bag feeds for sixteen. WEEKS i don't know what else to say about. It it's the way to fertilize your lawn in the summer is slow. Release that's the. Way and superturf is exactly.

BREAKDOUGH i was talking about Green pro and the services they, offer the compost top, dressing the core, aeration that combo it feeds the soil biology by and it aerates the sort it breathes life into the, soil if you, will because it pops the plugs out of the, ground and then the compost stop dressing some of that falls into those holes, too and it just it's what makes golf courses do

aerration all the. Time if you've got an area that's got a lot of foot, traffic especially that soil, compaction the roots can't get oxygen and then they can't take up nutrients and they can't develop a good deep root, system and it just fixes.

to put on small amounts frequently to maintain. Moisture once the seed starts to, germinate if it dries, out it. Dies so that's the key early on with a little tiny seed like your bermuda, grass is to keep it consistently moist equi. Moist and then once it gets, established then we begin to wean back to watering very. Infrequently those first weeks you just need to, yeah several. Weeks, yeah once it, germinates it's gonna need at least another couple of. Weeks a pretty GOOD tlc there to keep it.

Going and hope we don't get a gully. Washer what usually happens when you seed out bermuda as you get a gully washer and then it washes all the seed off into one spot and so you got a real furry spot on the ground and then a spout. Nothing Uh so that's what we like to try to avoid if we.

hard to get it going and get. Success a lot cheaper than. Sodding but uh yeah to more of, it more of a. Challenge, hey the folks At arburgate are loaded for bear when it comes to all kinds of things that you're going to want a. Plant remember this is tax free, Weekend so things that help save, water, plants, trees, grasses, soil compost and Mult remember when you go To.

Guardenline i'm your, Host Skip, richtor and we're going to take a top of the hour.

Break if you would like to be on when we come, back be one of the first ones. Up now it would be a good time to Call alejandro and have him get you on on the air with. Me get you on the board so we're ready to. Go all you gotta do is called seven one, three two one two fifty eight seventy. Four if you like letters seven to one three two one two k t R h and we'll get you off to a really good. START i was talking earlier about putting in a new lawn

and the importance of getting red of perennial weeds. FIRST i don't care if it takes three or four weeks to get it. Done whatever it, takes get it. Done no nut's, edge no bermuda, grass no perennial weeds, underneath because they're going to pop right through and then it's harder to deal with them in the. Lawn the other thing to, remember get your lawn area leveled, out bring in some, soil smooth it out a little, bit get it leveled out really. Nice and before you put on the.

SOD i usually about a day BEFORE i put on, side will water it pretty, good not to turn it into a mud, swamp but just to moisten. It allow it a day or two to kind of soak, in and then lay your sod and begin watering. Immediately immediately means.

Immediately last TIME i put in, SID i hadn't put in probably twenty feet of, it AND i already have somebody squirting it with water to just to hold on because that sod doesn't have hardly any root, system and that little narrow strip of black, clay soil or, sand depending on where you buy, it that it came in. On you got to keep that plant alive til it gets roots in the. Ground so to make it over simple in the heat of summer in the, sun twice a day the first, week once a day the second.

Week i'm not talking about putting an inch of water on twice a. Day that'd be what fourteen inches a. Week, no you don't have to do. That you just wet it a little bit and then wet it again later in the. Day the next, day wed it a little, bit good, morning early, morning mid, afternoon do it, again and then back off to once a. Week now in shade or when temperatures are, cooler not as, critical but it's still as very important if you want. Success all, right,

folks we got an hour left in us. Today let's do. This welcome back To. Guardenline i'm your, Host Skip. Richter it is good to have you with. Us glad you're with us. Today, HEY i want to remind.

Grow and the hibiscus as long as it's, growing it's producing clusters of buds as you've seen each, summer and it just each bud is open for a, day, right so.

until the evening and not with her. Up you can put them in you can put a little shallow bowl of water in, there but you don't need, to and you bring them out and if you have an evening, gathering you can set them around on tables without water and they just look beautiful for a good while in the. Evenings, otherwise by evening the bloom would have already been curling up and not looking so. Good so that's just a little tip.

Sources you. Know organic gardeners have known you put like molasses, out which is a sugar, carbon and it just makes microbes go. Nuts it's a really good environment for optimum health and performance of your. Lawn Sweet green eleven percent, nitrogen which is high for an organic type.

wider that's even. Better but that helps speed. Growth sometimes For, hana trees sit in the pot too long and the roots go around and around in, there and then when you put them in the, ground if you don't cut those, roots they they don't unwind underground and they don't venture out into the soil as well as they would had they been cut or not left in the pot so.

Long at the garden centers and, growers but that could be the case with, IT i, would you, know it's kind of hard to say without me digging it up and looking at, it BUT i would try the. MULCHING i would try making sure it's getting out of quate. Water and if you wanted to take a hand, trowel let me ask you. This do you remember when it went in the ground in twenty twenty? Three do you remember about how big that pot?

during dry hot, weather and then finally continuing to. Fertilize if you have lawn, fertilizer and you put about two cups for every inch of trunk, Diameter so if that tree was the size of a, broomstick you, know then maybe an inch, wide then it would get two cups of. Fertilizer if it's the size of a soft drink, can A Coca cola can that's about three inches, across so that would be six cups of, fertilizer but not dumped at the, bottom but spread in a big circle around.
