Yeah, 22 00:00:57,853 --> 00:01:00,013 Speaker 3: And we get it to walk around in the and 23 00:01:00,093 --> 00:01:03,253 Speaker 3: all the kids try to. 24 00:01:03,253 --> 00:01:06,053 Speaker 2: Dig and to the frog and the winter get along. 25 00:01:06,853 --> 00:01:07,853 Speaker 3: Oh, certainly they do. 26 00:01:08,053 --> 00:01:12,373 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, lovely. But that's not what I was going 27 00:01:12,413 --> 00:01:13,773 Speaker 4: to talk about. I was going to talk about the 28 00:01:13,813 --> 00:01:17,213 Speaker 4: fact that we finally got some some black field crickets 29 00:01:17,253 --> 00:01:19,453 Speaker 4: really making a noise. Did you notice that night? 30 00:01:19,733 --> 00:01:19,933 Speaker 3: Oh? 31 00:01:20,053 --> 00:01:22,613 Speaker 2: Yeah, they it feels like they're kind of late in 32 00:01:22,653 --> 00:01:24,533 Speaker 2: the year. Is that Is that weird? 33 00:01:24,733 --> 00:01:25,293 Speaker 3: Am I wrong? 34 00:01:25,373 --> 00:01:27,533 Speaker 2: There late in the season for the cricket. 35 00:01:28,253 --> 00:01:31,053 Speaker 3: No, they normally get here at this time of the year, right, Okay, 36 00:01:31,653 --> 00:01:34,253 Speaker 3: the cicadas are getting bit slow. We've had a fabulous 37 00:01:34,373 --> 00:01:37,173 Speaker 3: year of cicada so far. But I thought about talk 38 00:01:37,253 --> 00:01:39,293 Speaker 3: about the Blackfield crickets because they can do a bit 39 00:01:39,333 --> 00:01:42,933 Speaker 3: of damage in the garden too. And yeah, and that's 40 00:01:42,973 --> 00:01:45,693 Speaker 3: that's about. So they're actually having a go and talking 41 00:01:45,693 --> 00:01:47,333 Speaker 3: to their friends and all that sort of stuff and 42 00:01:47,373 --> 00:01:49,893 Speaker 3: doing the mating for the next lot. But the way 43 00:01:49,933 --> 00:01:53,173 Speaker 3: to control them is a bit is actually quite funny 44 00:01:53,653 --> 00:01:57,453 Speaker 3: because these things live in little holes in the ground 45 00:01:57,653 --> 00:02:00,373 Speaker 3: during the day. And you know, on your lawn if 46 00:02:00,373 --> 00:02:04,573 Speaker 3: you like, they made little holes all right the place right, Yeah. 47 00:02:04,133 --> 00:02:05,773 Speaker 3: And and what you then can do. 48 00:02:05,773 --> 00:02:08,773 Speaker 4: Is career, is you you pour some hot. 49 00:02:08,573 --> 00:02:12,013 Speaker 3: Water with good dish of dish washing liquid in it. 50 00:02:12,653 --> 00:02:15,973 Speaker 3: The dish washing liquid gets their eyes very sore and 51 00:02:16,013 --> 00:02:20,373 Speaker 3: they go like holy and they come out of their 52 00:02:20,453 --> 00:02:22,613 Speaker 3: hole on the top. And if you've got a good 53 00:02:22,733 --> 00:02:27,613 Speaker 3: day with some that hot air and the hot you know, 54 00:02:28,333 --> 00:02:33,213 Speaker 3: raised from the sun basically fry them to stuffery. It's 55 00:02:33,453 --> 00:02:34,893 Speaker 3: so that is a really. 56 00:02:34,613 --> 00:02:37,213 Speaker 4: Cool way of getting a bit of black Field crickets. 57 00:02:37,493 --> 00:02:42,573 Speaker 2: It sounds a bit rough for them though, sort of medieval, 58 00:02:42,613 --> 00:02:43,373 Speaker 2: almost rude. 59 00:02:44,013 --> 00:02:49,373 Speaker 3: Sorry mate, there they shouldn't be there. So microwave oven 60 00:02:49,853 --> 00:02:51,653 Speaker 3: and the other thing. And that's much more fun for 61 00:02:51,733 --> 00:02:54,453 Speaker 3: the kids to see the singer that Katie did, which 62 00:02:54,493 --> 00:02:57,773 Speaker 3: is in the afternoon and evening. It's beautiful, noisy thing 63 00:02:57,813 --> 00:03:00,333 Speaker 3: and it rubs the edges of its wings together and 64 00:03:00,333 --> 00:03:02,453 Speaker 3: it does all that sort of stuff. And then when 65 00:03:02,453 --> 00:03:05,933 Speaker 3: you finally find that, the kids go, okay, did it 66 00:03:07,013 --> 00:03:07,613 Speaker 3: Katie did? 67 00:03:07,813 --> 00:03:09,133 Speaker 4: And that's basically what it is. 68 00:03:09,453 --> 00:03:12,773 Speaker 3: Really. They like ventriloquism because you can't find them unless 69 00:03:12,813 --> 00:03:15,533 Speaker 3: you know where they are. But because they can, they 70 00:03:15,533 --> 00:03:18,813 Speaker 3: can throw their voice hard to find. The kids found 71 00:03:18,853 --> 00:03:22,293 Speaker 3: it lovely to try and find them out ventriloquism. That's great. 72 00:03:22,413 --> 00:03:25,373 Speaker 2: And yeah, yeah, so that there's the green. They're almost 73 00:03:25,413 --> 00:03:27,573 Speaker 2: grasshopper like the Katie did, Yes. 74 00:03:27,453 --> 00:03:30,893 Speaker 3: Exectly and they're beautiful things. Yeah, very good. 75 00:03:31,133 --> 00:03:35,253 Speaker 2: Hey, I'm just giving you sort of a semi regular updates. 76 00:03:35,413 --> 00:03:38,173 Speaker 2: The pomegranate is still attached to the pomegranate tree. So 77 00:03:38,253 --> 00:03:38,853 Speaker 2: that's good news. 78 00:03:39,453 --> 00:03:39,573 Speaker 3: Uh. 79 00:03:39,773 --> 00:03:42,053 Speaker 2: And I've just got to I've got to try and 80 00:03:42,093 --> 00:03:44,253 Speaker 2: work out exactly when to peck it. It's too early 81 00:03:44,333 --> 00:03:47,293 Speaker 2: just yet, it's too early, just it's not quite red enough. 82 00:03:47,373 --> 00:03:49,453 Speaker 2: But maybe we can do some research and try and 83 00:03:49,613 --> 00:03:51,853 Speaker 2: try and get a good huge because I'm not sure 84 00:03:52,133 --> 00:03:54,813 Speaker 2: if it's you know, if it's going to remain warm 85 00:03:54,933 --> 00:03:59,613 Speaker 2: enough in Auckland for it for it to sort of 86 00:03:59,653 --> 00:04:01,853 Speaker 2: rip into the to the appropriately all like it wood 87 00:04:01,853 --> 00:04:03,773 Speaker 2: in the Middle East. But maybe it will. I'm not 88 00:04:03,813 --> 00:04:04,333 Speaker 2: too sure. 89 00:04:05,013 --> 00:04:08,173 Speaker 3: Yeah as well, I'm quite sure it will because I've 90 00:04:08,173 --> 00:04:11,373 Speaker 3: heard from other people that that can happen. It doesn't 91 00:04:11,413 --> 00:04:13,613 Speaker 3: have to be that hope, because most of the growth 92 00:04:13,653 --> 00:04:16,893 Speaker 3: has has already taken place. Yeah, now it's now finally 93 00:04:16,933 --> 00:04:19,093 Speaker 3: sidling it out. But I'll have a look at that, 94 00:04:19,173 --> 00:04:21,373 Speaker 3: because I think you can feel as when you touched them, 95 00:04:21,533 --> 00:04:24,853 Speaker 3: they becomes You can easily pinch him a bit, you 96 00:04:24,933 --> 00:04:25,333 Speaker 3: know what I mean? 97 00:04:25,933 --> 00:04:28,973 Speaker 2: Has it really it's got a really robust stork. So 98 00:04:29,093 --> 00:04:31,613 Speaker 2: the stork connecting the pomegranate to the tree is almost 99 00:04:31,653 --> 00:04:34,813 Speaker 2: like a branch in itself. It's really thick, and so 100 00:04:34,933 --> 00:04:36,613 Speaker 2: I don't think you would rip it off like you would, 101 00:04:36,653 --> 00:04:39,573 Speaker 2: you know, a plum more a lemon or something like that. 102 00:04:39,693 --> 00:04:43,053 Speaker 2: But I yeah, but I want to make sure that 103 00:04:43,173 --> 00:04:45,693 Speaker 2: I pick at it exactly the right time because there 104 00:04:45,733 --> 00:04:47,693 Speaker 2: is a lot of expectation on this pomegrad. 105 00:04:47,693 --> 00:04:51,213 Speaker 5: There's been a lot of high and I'm going to 106 00:04:51,293 --> 00:04:54,573 Speaker 5: put the pressure on my favorite, my favorite helper, Julie, 107 00:04:54,573 --> 00:04:56,813 Speaker 5: who was in the one of those most garden of 108 00:04:56,813 --> 00:04:58,293 Speaker 5: people that knows everything, you know. 109 00:04:58,213 --> 00:04:58,533 Speaker 3: What I mean. 110 00:04:58,493 --> 00:05:01,453 Speaker 2: Perfect, Yeah, yeah, that sounds great.
