Speaker 2: Thanks we are. Look, things have are slowly improving. Like

7
00:00:25,413 --> 00:00:27,253
Speaker 2: I said to you, we've you know, we've accepted that

8
00:00:27,973 --> 00:00:31,893
Speaker 2: a couple of items around the Tame family garden that

9
00:00:31,933 --> 00:00:34,173
Speaker 2: were not watered as they should have been last summer,

10
00:00:34,213 --> 00:00:37,253
Speaker 2: those have been replaced. We've replanted. Everything's looking okay for

11
00:00:37,293 --> 00:00:39,013
Speaker 2: the time being. I'm looking forward to spring a bit

12
00:00:39,013 --> 00:00:40,853
Speaker 2: more blossom around our place. But the first of the

13
00:00:40,853 --> 00:00:43,013
Speaker 2: blossom is coming through. I've even seen if your daffodils

14
00:00:43,053 --> 00:00:44,973
Speaker 2: around the place, so I can't own too much.

15
00:00:45,693 --> 00:00:48,293
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting here on the porthills a world. We

16
00:00:48,413 --> 00:00:52,733
Speaker 1: have quite a few plums already flowering really really oh Gosha,

17
00:00:52,813 --> 00:00:56,893
Speaker 1: apricots in full flower. It's it's quite a bit early.

18
00:00:56,933 --> 00:00:58,973
Speaker 1: I just said to chat to my neighbor, the one

19
00:00:58,973 --> 00:01:02,093
Speaker 1: that we're going to be talking about it. Yeah, same thing.

20
00:01:02,133 --> 00:01:04,413
Speaker 1: Everything is a bit early here is crazy. Even their

21
00:01:04,453 --> 00:01:05,653
Speaker 1: clematis is very young.

22
00:01:05,693 --> 00:01:07,573
Speaker 2: I mean, apricots and flower.

23
00:01:07,333 --> 00:01:09,733
Speaker 1: Now yes, mate, Yes.

24
00:01:09,653 --> 00:01:12,333
Speaker 2: I mean this isn't this is not actually a very

25
00:01:12,333 --> 00:01:12,893
Speaker 2: good sign.

26
00:01:14,173 --> 00:01:14,573
Speaker 1: Why not?

27
00:01:15,413 --> 00:01:18,013
Speaker 2: I think, I don't know if you've heard, road and

28
00:01:18,053 --> 00:01:19,213
Speaker 2: I'm sure I'm going to get a lot of texts

29
00:01:19,213 --> 00:01:22,813
Speaker 2: about this. But the climate is changing, yes it is.

30
00:01:23,133 --> 00:01:25,893
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, well yeah, but hang on. These plants

31
00:01:25,933 --> 00:01:30,933
Speaker 1: can adept themselves even rather fast sometimes. So if there

32
00:01:31,053 --> 00:01:34,133
Speaker 1: is an earlier flowering, now we might have some earlier fruit.

33
00:01:34,413 --> 00:01:35,013
Speaker 1: That's fine.

34
00:01:35,053 --> 00:01:36,373
Speaker 2: Okay, it's not a big deal.

35
00:01:36,693 --> 00:01:38,693
Speaker 1: It just means we pay less at food town, you

36
00:01:38,693 --> 00:01:39,133
Speaker 1: know what I mean.

37
00:01:39,373 --> 00:01:42,133
Speaker 2: Well, if we can enjoy from that benefit, then yes,

38
00:01:42,173 --> 00:01:43,973
Speaker 2: I'm all about it, so long as there are no

39
00:01:44,013 --> 00:01:44,973
Speaker 2: downside that I've heard.

40
00:01:45,813 --> 00:01:48,933
Speaker 1: That's right anyway. So last a couple of about a

41
00:01:48,973 --> 00:01:53,013
Speaker 1: month ago, we had some seriously cold midwinter nonsense going

42
00:01:53,053 --> 00:01:56,573
Speaker 1: on here, and I thought cheapest, I know, because I'm

43
00:01:56,613 --> 00:01:59,853
Speaker 1: growing this lovely missile toe and that are planted on

44
00:01:59,893 --> 00:02:03,733
Speaker 1: a cofi boards here in the garden. And you know missiletes,

45
00:02:03,773 --> 00:02:06,213
Speaker 1: don't you getting under the missile toe? And ohh yeah, yeah,

46
00:02:06,813 --> 00:02:09,893
Speaker 1: Well we've got a few native quite a few native species,

47
00:02:09,893 --> 00:02:12,093
Speaker 1: and I planted one on a kofi bush with a

48
00:02:12,133 --> 00:02:16,053
Speaker 1: sticky seed and that's how the that's how that works

49
00:02:16,053 --> 00:02:19,013
Speaker 1: with mistletoe. They have fruit if you like, and the

50
00:02:19,093 --> 00:02:21,453
Speaker 1: birds like to eat the fruit, and then they eat

51
00:02:21,453 --> 00:02:23,493
Speaker 1: the fruit, but the seed is so sticky they have

52
00:02:23,533 --> 00:02:26,533
Speaker 1: to wipe their bill on the branch of the tree

53
00:02:26,573 --> 00:02:28,453
Speaker 1: where they found the seed. And this is how you

54
00:02:28,453 --> 00:02:29,253
Speaker 1: get a new plant.

55
00:02:29,573 --> 00:02:33,493
Speaker 2: It stick Isn't that clear? Yeah, that is amazing.

56
00:02:34,693 --> 00:02:38,733
Speaker 1: So that's it exactly by design. But anyway, so I

57
00:02:38,853 --> 00:02:41,093
Speaker 1: just made sure that I wasn't sure if my missletoe

58
00:02:41,093 --> 00:02:43,093
Speaker 1: was fine. It was okay, there were a few holes

59
00:02:43,093 --> 00:02:44,493
Speaker 1: in it was not good. But then I went to

60
00:02:44,573 --> 00:02:48,413
Speaker 1: the cross the road and there's aforementioned mentioned neighbor, Scott.

61
00:02:49,173 --> 00:02:51,413
Speaker 1: It's his birthday today anyway, so I had to tell

62
00:02:51,453 --> 00:02:55,013
Speaker 1: him that I had a look to see how his

63
00:02:55,133 --> 00:02:59,213
Speaker 1: missiletoe was doing. Because his missiletoe is in it is

64
00:02:59,253 --> 00:03:02,613
Speaker 1: basically on a Koprosma vhorescence, which is the mingy mingy

65
00:03:02,973 --> 00:03:06,053
Speaker 1: that Moldy named for it beautiful shrub by the way, God,

66
00:03:06,053 --> 00:03:12,213
Speaker 1: I love resence. And his missilete was almost completely chewed

67
00:03:12,253 --> 00:03:16,013
Speaker 1: to bits. It was extrayed in the middle of the winter.

68
00:03:16,573 --> 00:03:19,213
Speaker 1: So I thought, let's have a look, and I went

69
00:03:19,253 --> 00:03:23,133
Speaker 1: and never looked down there, down into the minimeie plant

70
00:03:23,173 --> 00:03:26,413
Speaker 1: and there was an adult Katie did and Katy did

71
00:03:26,493 --> 00:03:30,573
Speaker 1: is that green grasshoppery like thing with the long wings,

72
00:03:30,693 --> 00:03:33,533
Speaker 1: long antennae and that you know what I mean, And yeah,

73
00:03:33,773 --> 00:03:38,013
Speaker 1: slies or jumps away that and it has been literally

74
00:03:38,093 --> 00:03:42,253
Speaker 1: surviving that winter's winters area in that mini mean and

75
00:03:42,373 --> 00:03:47,093
Speaker 1: eating the missilete It was unbelievable because a I've never

76
00:03:47,133 --> 00:03:50,333
Speaker 1: seen a Katie did in the winter time. They usually

77
00:03:50,333 --> 00:03:53,973
Speaker 1: go till but lady autumn and that's about it. And

78
00:03:54,013 --> 00:03:56,173
Speaker 1: the second thing is I never knew they would have

79
00:03:56,213 --> 00:04:00,013
Speaker 1: a go at that flashy leafy leaf of the missilete

80
00:04:00,133 --> 00:04:02,333
Speaker 1: It was extraordinary, amazing.

81
00:04:02,413 --> 00:04:04,613
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've seen a photo through as well. Just for

82
00:04:04,653 --> 00:04:07,133
Speaker 2: anyone who is one hundred percent of Katy diaders, will

83
00:04:07,133 --> 00:04:09,133
Speaker 2: make sure that photos up on the on the website.

84
00:04:09,333 --> 00:04:12,973
Speaker 2: It looked like, to be honest, it had been feeding

85
00:04:12,973 --> 00:04:16,493
Speaker 2: in a pretty good paddock if we're perfectly sizable.

86
00:04:16,893 --> 00:04:21,413
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but that shows you that sometimes these vandals,

87
00:04:21,413 --> 00:04:24,613
Speaker 3: these Katie deads, they find their way to survive the

88
00:04:24,693 --> 00:04:28,933
Speaker 3: winter and find a very good green.

89
00:04:28,813 --> 00:04:31,773
Speaker 1: Green missile teal and I think it's lovely. So they've

90
00:04:31,813 --> 00:04:33,453
Speaker 1: went straight onto ich list.

91
00:04:34,933 --> 00:04:37,213
Speaker 2: Very good. Hey, thank you so much. Yeah, that's appear.
