GREEN COUNTRY GARDEN 10-5-24

Ah, there we go. It's October.

Yes, indeed, we got the music for October past year. It is a green Country Guard program and learned glasses.

I set my iron skill on the on the sidewalk and cook my breakfast.

I bet you did. My goodness, whoever thought it be this hot in October? Huh? I know, God, it's crazy.

You look like you lost about another three or four pounds just water weight the last week.

You bet there's another notch on the belt.

Like, yes, we're gonna run out of belt homes anyway.

But despite this anomalous weather pattern, there's things we need to be doing doing in the fault. Okay, And right now the mums are starting to open up, and the Panzi's and kale are out and ready for those beds.

Get those beds ready.

Remember you can't plot them into clay now because by all means Pansy's I guess that's the name implies they're not very tough. Okay, yeah, they don't. They don't do well in the clay. So if you do want something like that, we've done pansy plantings for customers and we add the composts and there's one one person we've done for for god must have been fifteen years. Finally, we just don't need to add any composts anymore. You don't even have to dig a hole. You just kind of

Temperature too, because you're going to get them.

Hot enough to melt lead one day and hot.

Enough to freeze.

Well anyway, if or weather it's rather up and down here, if you will, so anyway for the gread and plant those right now. The kale plant's also can be planted right now. At this point, we have a greenhouse full of a panzies at the nursery.

So those of you with colored radar are there. You go, there, we go, there's our there's our production. My goodness sakes that time. We have thousands, thousands.

Of them in the greenhouse ready to be ready to go, and they need to be in the ground pretty soon.

Rose and Rose, they go, yeah, look at look at that. Jeezus, what is that seventy feet long? It's a.

It's a one hundred foot long greenhouse and each bench is about ten feet wide.

Okay, so yeah, you got quite a lot.

Actually, we do some exporting too. You sell to other nurseries in the tul and so on.

All right, so yeah, so you're one of them. Got your big stuff.

Now keep in mind that your soil really needs to be done right for them to do well. Okay, and the addition of even some pete moss or we don't you saw this because it'll in the decomposition of the sawdust, nitrogen is consumed by the bacteria and break it down. One problem people have with panzies are rabbits. Yeah, and get a little bag of blood meal, and they'll kind of stay away from the well that something like uncle uncle bunny there, so.

They don't bother too much.

But anyway, the blood meal is a good source of available nitrogen. However, as warm as it is, the blood meal can actually burn the plants, just like using any other heavy nitrogen on there. So it's something you want to do when it when it cools down a little bit, so and I think this week it is supposed to cool down somewhat, so good, thank you. Anyway, the ground is warm and the era is warm as prime time

Up real nice.

If it's really hard and difficult to prepare, you might want to consider watering it rather heavily the day before, and then it'll be a lot easier to work too. There you go, so right now our chiller is just bounces around, so you want to make sure it's wet. So gyp Some cis or two H steel can be used on all soil types and all pH ranges.

It improves plant health and productivity.

It helps fight diseases caused by fungus exactly. It improves nitrogen utilization and fixation. So cool stuff huh, helps manage macronutrient deficiencies, and it improves soil structure, eeration, drainage and vertibility of plants and so on, and reduces a soil surface crusting and improves seed emergence. So pretty good stuff. So it does help create optimum calcium slash magnesium ratio in your soil too, and it's safe for organic growers.

Does help loosen up the soil.

And when we encounter soil prep that does involve a lot of bedwork, we do added to it to help loosen.

It up too. So gyps is pretty good stuff.

Okay, time on your lawns right now, let's see it's time to installve fisku seed. But time is kind of running out, so you want to get a little bit bit. It looks like it's upcoming week to night time temperatures, you're going.

To be fairly cool. Yeah, So if you have.

A means by which the water the ground can be irrigated effectively before you put down the said, you might consider doing that. If the ground is really hard and dry at this point, so fest your seed like you know, a fair fair amount of moisture and some on.

You just don't scatter it on top of bare dry ground.

We've had people come back and come into the nursery and say, well, can I just scatter this on the ground. I say, well you could, yeah, but your shovel bounces off the ground. If you really want to be successful at it, you want to do just at least a minimum of soil prep to get it to go on there real well, at the very very minimum. If you can dig up, dig in the ground a little bit, you might get a scoop of soil which we can deliver and do a top dressing and then put the

Yeah, you do want to water your seedy.

Don't water it all the time, just just water it real good and don't let it dry out too much. So you might consider watering in the morning. You can get elect a hose in timer them the nigger hose, interrogate and we'll go go to work, to work, come home from lunch. You might pop it on again a little bit.

Or Actually they have.

These digital plugin timers. I use them at home that you can little battery powered things. You can run them too through time today a certain amount of time too, and robotic watering.

It helps a whole lot too.

So I use them for my hanging pots connected to the hose every morning at seven o'clock.

Here we go.

So anyway, so you can more or less automate the water that way, that's one way to do it. But really a deep tilling and a bit of compost will make your efforts more successful.

I mean, why go through all that work just to have it not work? So yeah, there you go.

Okay, there are many rides of fescue out there we go with the five star. Five star fescue has five different varieties of rescue.

When it one of them is bound to work. There you go.

But it does make a good a good texture, and be careful not to over apply the sea the seed.

Rather, we get some customers and they just put it on really really heavy.

Well, when you do that, it kind of smothers itself out and your your grass comes up. Yeah, it looks really nice, but it starts to kind of wilt and turn brown because it's just too crowded.

Because they're all fighting, all seeds are fighting.

There's a resources for it to grow, and it grows up and it forms a matt if you will, and then you get an anaerobic fungal.

Situation in the skills everything, and then you get phytop thoria, which is a fungus disease.

It causes the collapse of the vascular tissue in the plant and they just fall over.

Just like that, like that, and it was going.

So, so know your square footage and if anything applies lighter, do more than one application. In other words, if it says use number four on the on the spreader, you might want to go with number two and do it lightly twice.

That'll that'll give you better even distribution of your seat.

Also, okay, And a fertilizer, maybe a ten twenty ten to get started with. The twenty is phosphorus and it helps the root growth and all that, and ten percent nitrogens enough.

To get it off to a little bit of a good start.

And when it finally cools down, then you can start adding more nitrogen to the soil. But you don't want to do too much because it'll grow too quickly and then you get stem disease. Yeah, rot because it's too tender and don't want that. Yeah, And as it grows. Also, you want to back off on the watering when it starts to sprout. Instead of keeping it wet, you want

You don't want that, don't want that at all, okay, all right, no funngus among us. No, we don't want to. All right, We're gonna take a quick break. We're gonna be right back with more of the Green Country Gardener program and some opop music right after these words.

We'll be back after this two minutes ten second time out.

Celebrating the month of October here on the Green Country Gardener Program, it is eight twenty one.

Welcome back to the show. If you've got a question or.

Comment for Larry our guru, you just said do that at e I'm red seven four five ninety three six or glass?

What do we have? Well?

Anyway, and in addition to grass seed, the fall color is starting to show up in the tree. Yeah. I don't know if it's stressed.

Or what I'm gonna be willing to bet that it is a little bit of both.

Yeah, But anyway, it's time to consider planting trees in the landscape. And you know, there are some things you want to consider when planting a tree. How big is it going to get? And what is your primary consideration for planting a tree? Is it specimen, flowering, fall, color, or shade? How much of a nuisance will you tolerate? Probably a little? And do you want grass under the tree? That will detect what kind of tree you plant? Also,

There'll be this little.

Solil coming along the side of the house and going through the front yard, and oh, I want to punt the tree in the middle of the front yard. Well, sometimes that coincides with your drainage patterns.

It do. And typically our soil here is kind of shallow.

We have some some stone rock down below, maybe a dusting up to two inches to a dusting of soil in the surface.

Sometimes even a small planet just found its way into our.

Dandali at funny to grow there.

So what's going to happen is, especially with maple trees and the pinoaks, throot mass as it increases in volume is going to raise the soil level. And if you are in a drainage pattern like that, it will prevent that drainage pattern from functioning properly. And there are a lot of houses here in town where drainage patterns are really.

What I would consider critical just a little.

You might have a three in different I actually go back towards the house. She though, what what were they thinking?

But get her done so we can go on to the next one.

Gettle bud on the on the on the four boxes on the box blade or.

My brother does home repairs.

Anyway, so you want to make sure to watch your drainage patterns, and also when you're picking out a tree, consider but it drops also like your brad repairs, which they're kind of pass right now. But anyway, they had a problem with the seeds coming up everywhere and a shallow rits system and.

And weak growth have its a lot of them break up in the.

Winds and some one like that, and uh river birds or another real bad one.

The plant in an.

Area where there's either a shallow soil or a critical drainage, because the riot system on a river bridge is extraordinarily shallow. And that's an adaptive strategy on their part because they're indigenous to lowland areas in which the soil is somewhat anaerobic, so in order to compensate for that, they have developed a shallow root system.

So the silver.

Maple, which is another one you probably don't want to plant, or river bridge in certain areas you don't want to plant just because of that riot system problem. The surface roots on them, so keep that in mind. Also, deeper the tree would be golly swamp white oak. It sounds like plenty of well, I would want to plant a swamp we just called that. And they're really deeply rooted, and there's some some of the oaks are very deeper to too. I don't want to wait forever if I

But a silver maple, know, they're a mess. So you're get points for tidiness.

Yes, so just just kind of be careful where it's planted. And another thing you gotta watch out or buried utility as water lines and steward lines and so on, so if something should go wrong and be able to access it without damaging the true So don't you've got your

The water line is in the house. So keep that in mind. Also little water line keeping.

And there are some some of the older houses they have iron water pipes and they're.

Starting to rest here and there.

Oh that's gonna be We we had a sprinker system.

They're too far from the nursery.

We did one downtown and in our digging, uh, we found the water line didn't break it, but it's all rusty, not good. I had to replace it. And I know in two instances in the last few years where doing all work we had to we advised the the customer to get a plumber out to live with this, and they replaced the water main coming into the house if it is iron, because they the iron pipe just doesn't last forever.

No, it doesn't a little oxidation and next thing you know, that life cycle.

Is yeah, and then then if you plant a tree over that and five years later you get an underground water lake, Well the tree is gonna grow like crazy.

Yeah, spinning, but there's nothing well it's going on there.

So uh so make sure that your utility lines are clear and have them marked. I know they won't marked the waterline going into the house, but keep in mind the waterlines for the most part of perpendicular to the street into the house.

You know what I've noticed, the ground is so hard. Those guys that come out and kind of flag your yard. When they throw those little flags down, they normally just stick right in the well.

They're bouncing back and the.

Guys are wearing goggles because they don't them comebackers are getting kind of home, just letting you know.

They bring a drill to drill.

So it's uh, that's one thing I want to mention is the location of the tree. And then trees that they can function.

They can act as a screen.

They can, for instance, had Victorian monstrosity the built behind your house. Plants something that screens that off a little bit, gives you some privacy.

And someone, I mean, I don't have to look at the monsters if you.

Well, when we moved into our house.

Golly, twenty years ago, we had a very clear sight of the neighbor's house and we knew what brand of sausages they cooked in the morning.

Oh boy, it's that close. Now you can't see it. That's good.

We put in holly plants and cherry laurels and a deciduous holly which is absolutely gorgeous of the winter, and you can't see the house anymore. Screened it off. Good, it's the buffer zone. Not quite as white as this room.

For that's still but then it works. Then I was digging a hole in the ground and clunk.

Have a difficult time putting in plant pancies even Oh wow, so I've built some raised beds. Oh yeah, burned it up a little bit and everything's fine. Get a whole new source of moisture there. So yeah, so you can't. And there are different species of plants that don't get so big that actors good screen plants.

Name a few. The burning bush is one, it's pretty too, yeah, and New R.

Stevens holly, yeah, is one, and the foster holly gets rather large, but it does make a good screen plant. Yopan holly's and deciduous holley. I use those lot for screen plants and so on.

And actually I have a Japanese.

Maple that there's also used as the screen. Just a different composition of different plants. It's not just a row of stuff.

Yeah, you mean you got a you've got a nice little palette.

Yeah, the composition and then the edge of it goes in and out a little bit, so it's not just a straight line.

And it's kind of interesting. What are your yards always on the tour?

This?

You got stuff in it?

And there's a rather noisy waterfall in it too, well, not very big, it's just that's so big.

Hey, did they come and hassle you when we were in a drought because you had a waterfall?

No? I didn't think really. The water staste in it is recycled in it.

Oh okay, yeah, so make sure you didn't get that big old plastic citations now, No, okay, it's good.

And now I'm resting.

Yeah, I've got a rather ugly yellow yard right now.

Mind turning into a blond as well.

Let's take a break. We'll be right back after this four minute time out. Is that for a minute?

Only sweet Home doosel door well, it could be.

Trade the week is the weeping effectum Japanese maple.

This is a very popular plan.

Use a lot by the front door, bravs into the house and it gives about six feet toll and wide, and eventually it's an excellent and prize specimen in the landscape. It prefers parts son and good drainage, good soil, fertility and frequent proper watering is the key to success on this one. Colors are from green to maroon, and color good excellent spring and fall color. And most people find this one too closed to the house. Give it lots the room. I like to plant it five feet away

But eventually it.

Will grow if it gets this wide, because you know six feet you get up to eight feet wide depending on the situation. So five feet away from a structure or like that.

Will be fine.

Now you can plant other things around it, like some annuals and perennials, or even use some boulders around it to kind of tie in to the landscape a little bit, and it can look when it's shunk, it looked pretty cool.

And as it grows it can kind of move yourself a little bit there you go. But give it, give it some room, as so many people don't, and it's just packed in. They're so tight.

When they get big, they don't they're not pretty anymore. So that's kind of why we want to give it some room to grow. And it does like good drainage, of course, and parts son parts son parts son parts son not necessarily mean the west side of the house is shielded for in the morning, but it's a good idea to have maybe some other trees around it or perraps, say the house on the other side, and.

For planet on the east side of the house. It probably do very well. Okay.

One problem that has in a lot of sun is not necessarily a disease or boards or any things, but it's sun scorch. And this happens in the winter when it's you know, about four hundred degrees below zero.

We're talking, can you be raised effect this well it was.

It's a heat issue, really, And what happens is the frozen stuff in there falls out real quick and it breaks the cellular tissues and the top half of the branch is dead, but the bottom half is alive.

And it's called the scorch.

And it's from a sudden temperature change. So, and that happens rather frequently.

We have a.

Right after a real cold night, the sun comes up in the morning and shines on.

It and because of the sun scorts.

So it's not necessarily what happens in the summer is what happens in the winter. And really if it gets too severe and really dammaged the slamp. So if a tree is properly watered, you know, not excessively, but properly well once a week or so, even in the winter time, if it's properly watered, it should resist the sunsquorts pretty well. Okay, So it's the excellent trees that have in the landscape. Don't plant it in the clay. They do like a

You can spend it.

You can spend it for three hundred and four hundred dollars for these plants. Yeah, and you just don't want to dump into the clay. You get the tailor out or even high it done to be planted just so we get a nice big.

Hole so you can adapt real well to your soil.

Lots of compost too, and it's very very important to keep your some molted in the winter to try to equalize the temperature and the moisture content and the soil.

For it too.

So with a few just very simple rules, you can have a really attractive aceer palmatum. Dissect them that too as a specimen interest plant. Now, if you let them go on their own, they look a bit like a mop.

They just kind of everybody have the big names in the mop. Well you know what I mean.

Yeah, it looks this weeping habit. So I like to trim it up a little bit so you can kind of see some of the branching structure in there, as well as having some of my branches on it too. So very careful pruning of it can make it really attractive. It's not just a mop. And when you travel on you don't just cut it like with shears. You take the branch that is too long and cut it back inside, effectively thinning it out a little bit.

And you can do.

That with some others so it doesn't look like it's just been sheared souse. That causes a lot of times the case of the uglies. And then you get this rather knobby licking growth at the tips and just yeah, yeah, it's funny. The weeping Japanese maple. That's the tree of the week. It's related to the Japanese maple, which gets about twenty by twenty feet. And there are several color variations of this one too. A lot of them are grafted. They'll put a green jack maple rootstock on it, the

Japanese map very popular one.

Excellent color, good fall color spring emerges this brilliant reddish colored leaves in the spring, really nice and it gets.

Rather large, so be careful.

Also, I see a lot of them planted a foot away from the house.

Oh, that'll be trouble in a couple of years.

Yeah, So you want to compose your landscape to accommodate the proper size of the street, and also keep it away from the sidewalks because you'll be ducking down to get into the house.

Yeah, so.

About a sidewalk about ten feet away in the house, about ten feet away should do. Okay, Okay, it looked lonely at first, he said, yeah, this thing is so far away from the house to do well.

In about four or five years.

It'll start like girl, and you'll say, you see the tree, how big it's grown, you know exactly.

And it'll grow and it'll grow into the the landscape composition. So you've got to kind of look at that. And that's the one thing we do is on the landscape plane, is we do so what it would look like where it's planted in the house. And you don't never see me put the twenty foot white Japanese maple two feet away from that.

No, No, it's.

Not difficult if you do want something purple and kind of small. There's uh the barbary. The red barbery comes in into war Crimson, Pygmy and regular standard barberies. There's also nine bark. I've used some nine bark in the landscape. They're kind of interesting. They grow a little bit wild. In other words, they are somewhat untamed if you and they have kind of a semi weeping habit and then

But they're not that bad. Of course, I'm old and tough. I guess they don't just reach in there and grab them, you know.

And the red leaked crape myrtle, there are a lot of varieties out there. They have red leaves on them, purple really kind of purple leaves really so you can have that leaf color without having to get.

Something to get twenty twenty five.

Yeah, it's a good option. We're gonna have to take a break. We'll be right back after this two minute time out.

That is our total free number to get a hold of blurry Glass or expert Larry.

What do we have next on the agenda?

Well, the homemybirds and marnocks are migrating or half migrated at this point. We don't notice very many of them in our backyard now, so I think they're heading on the south.

You got a few stragglers. Oh yeah, they're like, I'm not packed yet.

They're not attacking my lantana's anymore. Oh so I guess they're they're they're kind of flown away. But at this point in time, they know when to go and they will abandon the feeders at the right time. So you might want to pick up some some of migrating birds from northern place or whatever.

I want to quit feeding them, That's what I want to say.

Yeah, the third week in September, so plant Sabbia lantana, minarda, honeysuckle, Petunia penta, and other flowers for nexture, for these plants, for these birds fall. So that's kind of kind of the deal. With the homing birds. I think they're back going into monarchs. Well, see a few of them around, but for the most part they're they're heading head.

And known down souths.

They need a good north wind. I guess, Hey, Larry, have you seen any cicadas lately? No, I haven't seen the one. We've heard a few of them, Yeah, you of them around, but not so many of them.

This is a phenomenon that apparently has occurred further east of us.

Yeah, yeah, much further. I think it's because our grounds are hard. They just they just said, forget it, man it out.

Of here, this whole.

I mean.

Now, I don't know, maybe their their cycle is offset perhaps over here over some others too.

It's you know, it's nature. There's going to be regional differences.

Yeah, so I do you know that in like southern Illinois. It was getting loud with cicadas.

Yeah, folks were complaining, Oh I could hear it tonight all the way from kro Oh yeah, Champagne or Banna sham banna all the way from Champagne, Illinois, or the cicadas. But anyway, so I don't people ask me have you seen the cicadas?

As not very many.

Somebody sent me a picture on the phone and said, what is this and he said it looks like I didn't have the glasses on. I thought it was mushrooms. Put glasses on it. Texted and back and for those are cata. So but we were always going to get some, but this year apparently we're in an off cycle. Next year they'll get ready, probably beating the labels off your popcins. So anyway, we talked about the difectum. Let's talk about

Doesn't have very many pests. Everything else too.

Twelve feet wide and tall, it's evergreen, has very huge, few pests, but wash the boards. It can get necrosis on it as he gets older.

Okay, so it's not a long lasting plant. You probably get twenty.

Years out of it, start to fall apart, kind of like Manhattan Wantamus. It's another screen plant you can use, but it does grow fairly aggressively. So if you do have something you want to block and something click, you might consider an illeagnius incidfolio there's a compact compact by the idea of that which shares the same attributes. But I think it's I think it's big, but it really isn't. So it can be used also in that but for

They kind of hide it a little bit too.

So anyway, house plants at the nursery, we have a greenhouse full of house plants right now, so you might check out our plants.

House plants tropical, tropical, tropical. So okay, let's see.

We talked about lawns, talk about trees, a little bit about shrubs, annuals. It is possible to have color all year along with the proper planting of annuals. In other words, say you've got a whole bunch of really nice pair of winkles and you want to plant some pansies, Well, don't take all the pair of winkles out.

Just take some of them out to put some panties in.

Between, and then when we have a freeze, there's still be time to plant some pansies or they will grow together. Kind of nice, but you might want to plant it out on your annual beds. I have a room for some fall type annuals in addition to the summer type angles as time goes on too. Okay, perennials repeat every year, but bloom only at certain times. So keep in mind when you're picking up perennials. The timetable windows is bloom. Do we want to plant something next fit the blooms?

Yeah.

Now, the scabiosa plant is a perennial that or yeah, that blooms all summer long. And the bloom flower platygoldens they bloom about all summer long too. But most of your perennials simply just don't bloom the entire summer long. So you want to plan your your perennial beds not only a vertical but also on the fourth dimension.

Okay, when they're going to be interesting, cone flowers.

There is another one. They had a fairly long bloom period. But uh, it's finite, like a lot of your perennials are too. So consider that when doing a perennial bed or picking up some perennials, which one is going to be blooming when and what kind of colors show they're going to have. You might even have room in there for some annuals to bridge the gaps and colors on pernials too.

There you go, it's good thinking.

The perennial antenna is another one bloom for a long time.

How many birds and butterflies really like it? Right? So you know what, get a professionals look at it. That's something that you do.

You got that handy dandy little piece of machinery that you use along with that big old noggin of yours, that college of knowledge that you can actually put something on somebody's a texto grammar or something like that, or email.

I send out that, even even in on this phone thing here, I send out a lot of texts on some designs.

And people say, wow, my house, my yard can look like that.

I have a well, I can convert a section or the entire plan to them to an image file and then bluetooth it to my cell phone and shoot it to them.

They kind of like that, get it.

I think texting is starting to take over email.

Really, yeah, it is. It is. And I even send out invoices on the on the text. How do you like that?

Well, they get it right away, they do. And a lot of times it's just okay, it's come right on and pay it. Yeah, whit around, Yeah, exactly.

So much for that. People like to open the letters and keep it in their hands. I don't to hear that.

It's just beeping on my phone during our conversation. I've gotten several text text messages.

But I wouldn't say anything. We're going to take a quick break. We've got a four minute timeout.

The original Waldorf Astoria Hotel on Fifth Avenue in New York City was built in eighteen ninety three. Constructed in the German Renaissance style, the hotel had four hundred and fifty guest rooms and another one hundred rooms for staff and servants. After merging with their next door neighbor, the Astoria Hotel, in eighteen ninety seven, the hotel had one thousand, three hundred rooms, making it the largest hotel in the

From the beginning, the.

Waldorf was the must stay place for foreign dignitaries from around the world. Some of those guests were the leaders of China, the Princess Iam, the Grand Duchess of Russia, and many others. Andrew Carnegie was a regular guest at the hotel.

The Waldorf Astoria.

Barr became a favorite haunt from many of the financial elites such as Diamond Jim Brady, Buffalo, Bill Cody, and Bat Masterson. In short, anyone who was anyone in the world of politics, society, business or entertainment wanted to be seen at the Waldorf. It truly was the world's hotel. Following the tragic sinking of the Titanic, the Waldorf Hotel was the official site for the inquiry that was performed

Later that year, they sold the.

Buildings and the land to a corporation named Empire State, Inc. Their plan was to demolish the hotel, which they did and build the Empire State Building in that location in July of nineteen twenty nine. Prior to the demolition, Frank Phillips inspected the hotel and paid particular attention to four handsome chandeliers which hung in the tap room of the hotel. When the hotel was gutted in preparation for the demolition,

The cooler weather will make somewhat of a comeback on the roses. Let's us spread too, less fungus problems and so on with roses. Also, most people have a knockout.

Roses or some derivative thereof.

And actually, what I like to do with my knockouts is cut them back after they had their big bloom thing in the in the spring and you know, throughout the midsummer, give them a good cutback, and in the fall they really come back nicely.

Just some time for them to bloomer and I feed and Thanksgiving they're really coming back yet.

Oh yeah, give mayorkat. But the knockouts a little different than other roses. It's it's not a grafted rose. It's true to form from top to bottom. And they they're very tough, very tough plants. Yeah, I think the rosette disease has kind of come and gone.

I don't see very much of it anymore. It sure twisted them up pretty good. Yeah, I did.

We do have a few knockouts at the nursery, and they're they're kind of slow sellers right now, but I think they'll people get back.
