They were everywhere, and to be quey, 30 00:01:44,935 --> 00:01:47,255 Speaker 3: they're quite good to I think this. I don't know 31 00:01:47,295 --> 00:01:49,975 Speaker 3: what's going on with these things. I got so many 32 00:01:50,015 --> 00:01:52,735 Speaker 3: caterpillars that and I didn't even have enough swan plants 33 00:01:52,735 --> 00:01:57,455 Speaker 3: and they don't even go there. Long story, they're fine. 34 00:01:57,535 --> 00:01:59,935 Speaker 2: Now, sorry, and this will be my last question because 35 00:01:59,935 --> 00:02:02,495 Speaker 2: I know people get frustrated with this. A little while 36 00:02:02,495 --> 00:02:07,055 Speaker 2: ago you mentioned something about purple colored flowers for and 37 00:02:07,095 --> 00:02:09,575 Speaker 2: for bumblebees. That's a thing, isn't it? 38 00:02:09,735 --> 00:02:13,735 Speaker 3: Blue and purple, that's okay. Especially the blue is because blue. 39 00:02:14,055 --> 00:02:16,215 Speaker 3: This is something I do with scoolpit. I take a 40 00:02:16,295 --> 00:02:18,295 Speaker 3: UV torch with me and we go at night and 41 00:02:18,335 --> 00:02:21,495 Speaker 3: we look at everything through UV light, because what you 42 00:02:21,535 --> 00:02:24,855 Speaker 3: see through UV light at night in your garden is 43 00:02:24,495 --> 00:02:28,175 Speaker 3: what bugsy, what insects sea and during the day they 44 00:02:28,175 --> 00:02:32,055 Speaker 3: see the same thing, like butterflies through UV light. If 45 00:02:32,095 --> 00:02:34,855 Speaker 3: you like, if you can, you know shine on it 46 00:02:35,095 --> 00:02:38,415 Speaker 3: because they see that naturally from the sun. So if 47 00:02:38,455 --> 00:02:41,695 Speaker 3: you see at night what a purple or blue flower 48 00:02:41,775 --> 00:02:44,575 Speaker 3: looks like, then you suddenly realize you got the right 49 00:02:44,655 --> 00:02:45,615 Speaker 3: ones foot pollinator. 50 00:02:45,815 --> 00:02:48,895 Speaker 2: Right, okay, because the leavenders have just started to flower 51 00:02:48,895 --> 00:02:53,495 Speaker 2: again and dip sports all some little purple colored annuals 52 00:02:53,655 --> 00:02:56,095 Speaker 2: that are in the garden as well. And I've just 53 00:02:56,215 --> 00:02:59,215 Speaker 2: noticed how they tracked the bees and the bumblebees. 54 00:02:59,655 --> 00:03:03,335 Speaker 3: That's it. And so Julia and I we got hold 55 00:03:03,335 --> 00:03:05,895 Speaker 3: of a couple of leavender that are about a meat 56 00:03:06,335 --> 00:03:09,615 Speaker 3: in a high high Wow. Yeah, this is a seriously 57 00:03:09,655 --> 00:03:12,495 Speaker 3: good variety. Got it from Felton Road Vineyard, by the way, 58 00:03:13,095 --> 00:03:16,015 Speaker 3: stole some we know, we were given to cuttings. 59 00:03:16,455 --> 00:03:19,095 Speaker 2: And in the case of the finest yes. 60 00:03:20,735 --> 00:03:23,775 Speaker 3: One day, one day, doctor Wulf, you will know what 61 00:03:23,895 --> 00:03:28,575 Speaker 3: that lovely Felton Roade vine tastes like. But anyway you'll 62 00:03:28,575 --> 00:03:30,855 Speaker 3: see that, that's what you that's when you see all 63 00:03:30,895 --> 00:03:33,455 Speaker 3: these bumblebees and bees and all these pollinators on and 64 00:03:33,495 --> 00:03:36,895 Speaker 3: then you know exactly what color blue woods. 65 00:03:37,095 --> 00:03:40,775 Speaker 2: You know, how fabulous quick tickes. Because I am just 66 00:03:40,815 --> 00:03:44,095 Speaker 2: slightly obsessed by the composting thing. Often you say cardboard 67 00:03:44,175 --> 00:03:46,295 Speaker 2: or paper and the compost do you cut it up? 68 00:03:46,735 --> 00:03:49,055 Speaker 2: How long does it take to composts? Do you put 69 00:03:49,055 --> 00:03:50,655 Speaker 2: paper and cardboard into your compost? 70 00:03:51,015 --> 00:03:53,495 Speaker 3: Yes, I can do, no problem at all, and it 71 00:03:53,535 --> 00:03:56,255 Speaker 3: will go. It takes a couple of months sometimes, and 72 00:03:56,295 --> 00:03:59,015 Speaker 3: some of the guardboard has got all sorts of stuff 73 00:03:59,055 --> 00:04:02,055 Speaker 3: on it that makes it less compossible to make it 74 00:04:02,215 --> 00:04:05,055 Speaker 3: last longer when it's backing packaging, you know what I mean. 75 00:04:05,775 --> 00:04:08,135 Speaker 3: But it will go. Yeah, absolutely brilliant. 76 00:04:08,175 --> 00:04:09,655 Speaker 2: Right, let's get a box that, Robbie. 77 00:04:09,655 --> 00:04:12,975 Speaker 5: Good morning, Good morning guys. 78 00:04:13,135 --> 00:04:16,375 Speaker 6: Hey, my Christian view route is I've got tomatoes growing 79 00:04:16,415 --> 00:04:18,415 Speaker 6: and there's lots of flowers on them, but in the 80 00:04:18,535 --> 00:04:20,895 Speaker 6: flowers that you know, when they die off, there's no 81 00:04:20,975 --> 00:04:24,215 Speaker 6: little wheat tomatoes there. And what I want to know 82 00:04:24,375 --> 00:04:29,415 Speaker 6: is do bees pollinate tomatoes? Because what I've done is 83 00:04:29,455 --> 00:04:33,775 Speaker 6: to keep my damn neighbors catch out and to stop 84 00:04:33,815 --> 00:04:37,255 Speaker 6: birds coming, I've put some knitting over my whole garden. 85 00:04:37,695 --> 00:04:39,375 Speaker 6: Does that stop the bees getting in? 86 00:04:40,535 --> 00:04:43,855 Speaker 3: It would stop the larger bees such as bumble bees in. 87 00:04:43,895 --> 00:04:46,335 Speaker 3: And you have to remember, Robbie, that it's the bumblebees 88 00:04:46,695 --> 00:04:50,735 Speaker 3: that are really good at pollinating tomatoes. You need bumble 89 00:04:50,735 --> 00:04:54,615 Speaker 3: bees in there if you can. The reason is that 90 00:04:54,815 --> 00:04:57,815 Speaker 3: bumble bees they vibrate. Have you noticed how they make 91 00:04:57,815 --> 00:05:02,615 Speaker 3: a noise when they fly by m Yeah, so when 92 00:05:02,615 --> 00:05:04,975 Speaker 3: they go to your flowers and sit there and have 93 00:05:05,135 --> 00:05:11,655 Speaker 3: their wings go, then the vibrations loosened the pollen in 94 00:05:11,735 --> 00:05:15,375 Speaker 3: the flowers and they drop those pollen literally onto the 95 00:05:15,375 --> 00:05:20,855 Speaker 3: flowers next door. So that's how they popize. Yeah, in 96 00:05:20,895 --> 00:05:23,695 Speaker 3: the past, they used to. In the past. In the past, 97 00:05:23,735 --> 00:05:26,895 Speaker 3: they used to have vibrators. You could use vibrators on 98 00:05:27,015 --> 00:05:29,735 Speaker 3: tomatoes to get them pollinated as well, you know, to 99 00:05:30,255 --> 00:05:35,255 Speaker 3: you know, the electric toothbrushes and that sort of stuff. Yeah, anyway, 100 00:05:35,335 --> 00:05:38,775 Speaker 3: go on, but yeah, the vibrates. But in this case, 101 00:05:38,815 --> 00:05:39,335 Speaker 3: I think it's. 102 00:05:41,055 --> 00:05:43,695 Speaker 6: Yeah, during the day, I could look the netting off 103 00:05:44,095 --> 00:05:47,615 Speaker 6: because the cat's not coming out, you know. But and 104 00:05:47,655 --> 00:05:50,695 Speaker 6: he's putting logs in my garden, which makes the garden smell, 105 00:05:51,455 --> 00:05:53,495 Speaker 6: and then just put it down at night. What do 106 00:05:53,575 --> 00:05:54,015 Speaker 6: you reckon? 107 00:05:54,575 --> 00:05:55,575 Speaker 3: Who owns the cat? 108 00:05:58,055 --> 00:05:58,815 Speaker 6: I don't know. 109 00:06:00,295 --> 00:06:03,775 Speaker 3: Find out who owns the cat. Yeah, Now what I 110 00:06:03,815 --> 00:06:06,535 Speaker 3: would do is find out who owns the cat, go 111 00:06:06,615 --> 00:06:09,455 Speaker 3: to that person and ask them one question, And the 112 00:06:09,615 --> 00:06:13,975 Speaker 3: question is, do you like cats, and when they say yes, 113 00:06:14,135 --> 00:06:22,495 Speaker 3: you say, well, we must exchange these recipes. Yes, I'll 114 00:06:22,575 --> 00:06:24,775 Speaker 3: leave it at that. 115 00:06:25,495 --> 00:06:25,975 Speaker 2: Seriousness. 116 00:06:26,015 --> 00:06:28,735 Speaker 6: Thanks, I could lift it during the day. 117 00:06:29,855 --> 00:06:33,895 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely no, But that's that's your best pollinator, if 118 00:06:33,895 --> 00:06:34,975 Speaker 3: you've got bumbles. Yeah. 119 00:06:35,095 --> 00:06:38,255 Speaker 2: Absolutely, Actually I did see that story on the news 120 00:06:38,335 --> 00:06:42,335 Speaker 2: during the week about I think it's might be in 121 00:06:42,375 --> 00:06:47,575 Speaker 2: Marlborough somewhere, feel you remote where a feral cat has 122 00:06:47,735 --> 00:06:51,175 Speaker 2: just devastated the bird population, you know, like forty or 123 00:06:51,175 --> 00:06:52,495 Speaker 2: fifty kills in a week. 124 00:06:53,055 --> 00:06:56,095 Speaker 3: Yep, yep, that's what it's about. 125 00:06:55,735 --> 00:07:00,495 Speaker 2: Yeah, righty oh and good morning. 126 00:07:01,575 --> 00:07:04,775 Speaker 7: Good morning.

If you fertilized it, and 136 00:07:39,375 --> 00:07:41,895 Speaker 3: if these things are in basically quite a good sunlight. 137 00:07:42,495 --> 00:07:44,695 Speaker 3: You should get what I would say, especially with Nigia, 138 00:07:44,695 --> 00:07:45,335 Speaker 3: Foster and Blue. 139 00:07:46,495 --> 00:07:48,575 Speaker 7: Yeah, no, that they do get a lot of fun. 140 00:07:49,535 --> 00:07:51,895 Speaker 7: We're in Monaca, so they get a lot of fun. 141 00:07:52,535 --> 00:07:55,975 Speaker 7: I'm just wondering if it's the problem or ifurvivor feed 142 00:07:56,015 --> 00:07:57,855 Speaker 7: them and no, no. 143 00:07:57,855 --> 00:07:59,655 Speaker 3: I don't think so. I don't think you could. What 144 00:07:59,815 --> 00:08:02,895 Speaker 3: you can always overfeed them, that's what the word over means, 145 00:08:02,935 --> 00:08:07,655 Speaker 3: I suppose. But now if you just do general fertilizer 146 00:08:07,695 --> 00:08:09,215 Speaker 3: and just every now and then, you don't have to 147 00:08:09,255 --> 00:08:12,935 Speaker 3: go over the top with it, Hydranger should be flowering 148 00:08:13,015 --> 00:08:13,535 Speaker 3: like billyo. 149 00:08:14,775 --> 00:08:17,335 Speaker 7: Yeah.

I think 154 00:08:32,935 --> 00:08:36,055 Speaker 3: I think they should not have any trouble in sunlight, 155 00:08:36,415 --> 00:08:39,255 Speaker 3: even in a little bit of shade. And I don't 156 00:08:39,295 --> 00:08:43,215 Speaker 3: think they should have if you've got oh, how did 157 00:08:43,215 --> 00:08:43,855 Speaker 3: you prune them? 158 00:08:43,895 --> 00:08:47,735 Speaker 6: By the way, what do you mean. 159 00:08:47,575 --> 00:08:51,655 Speaker 3: By you bring them back at the end of the year. 160 00:08:52,895 --> 00:08:55,695 Speaker 7: Yeah, I put them in the wind tuf yeh when 161 00:08:55,695 --> 00:08:58,535 Speaker 7: they've dropped the flout, when the flowers and you. 162 00:08:58,495 --> 00:09:00,815 Speaker 3: Get all the new growth quite okay. 163 00:09:00,695 --> 00:09:08,495 Speaker 7: Absolutely absolutely, no for long for many years. But this 164 00:09:08,615 --> 00:09:12,135 Speaker 7: is a reasonably new house and Neiver had the problem before. 165 00:09:12,295 --> 00:09:17,535 Speaker 7: So what about a seaweed fertilizer? Would that be any good? 166 00:09:17,655 --> 00:09:20,255 Speaker 3: Or yes? It could, it could be a liquid fertilizer 167 00:09:20,295 --> 00:09:25,695 Speaker 3: could be good.

So you have some some new shoots coming up, 182 00:10:15,255 --> 00:10:17,175 Speaker 3: and if you do too usually one of them will 183 00:10:17,175 --> 00:10:19,615 Speaker 3: take Sometimes you want to go higher.

This is the question. 190 00:10:36,535 --> 00:10:38,135 Speaker 8: Well you might have been answers from Peter, don't know, 191 00:10:38,215 --> 00:10:39,455 Speaker 8: but there you going. 192 00:10:40,775 --> 00:10:43,775 Speaker 3: We'll both we'll both both have an idea on this. 193 00:10:43,895 --> 00:10:45,815 Speaker 3: I would say, go on, well. 194 00:10:45,815 --> 00:10:48,495 Speaker 8: I'm sure you love I'm sure you both love plum sauce. 195 00:10:49,175 --> 00:10:53,735 Speaker 8: Oh yes, And that's where that's where all starts. I've 196 00:10:53,735 --> 00:10:57,695 Speaker 8: got a plum tree, the most amazing plum tree. Either 197 00:10:58,015 --> 00:11:01,055 Speaker 8: the last seven years, it's just been choppers. It's usually 198 00:11:01,135 --> 00:11:07,455 Speaker 8: sagging with so much weight and the fruit the year 199 00:11:08,135 --> 00:11:10,655 Speaker 8: or the plums are falling off. We've had a couple 200 00:11:10,695 --> 00:11:12,335 Speaker 8: of winds, I'm down and cross each and we've had 201 00:11:12,375 --> 00:11:14,735 Speaker 8: a couple of a couple of gasty days, and each 202 00:11:14,815 --> 00:11:17,215 Speaker 8: day have come home and that the grounds just covered. 203 00:11:17,575 --> 00:11:20,335 Speaker 8: And now there's there's absolutely bugger all on the on 204 00:11:20,375 --> 00:11:23,415 Speaker 8: the thing. And I'm thinking maybe there's something I can 205 00:11:23,455 --> 00:11:26,695 Speaker 8: fertilize that's going to strengthen up the steams. 206 00:11:26,255 --> 00:11:28,295 Speaker 3: Or yeah, yeah, you. 207 00:11:28,215 --> 00:11:32,375 Speaker 8: Know, is that the other years it seems to have 208 00:11:32,535 --> 00:11:36,575 Speaker 8: held up. But yeah, what do you do? 209 00:11:36,855 --> 00:11:40,775 Speaker 3: I know what you're saying. Sometimes people find that the 210 00:11:41,015 --> 00:11:44,055 Speaker 3: plums are falling off because they are young trees and 211 00:11:44,095 --> 00:11:46,895 Speaker 3: they have too many fruit on it to bear at 212 00:11:46,935 --> 00:11:49,575 Speaker 3: that stage. That's another thing. But yours is quite older, 213 00:11:49,655 --> 00:11:50,615 Speaker 3: isn't it a bit older? 214 00:11:50,775 --> 00:11:52,095 Speaker 8: Oh it's well established. 215 00:11:52,215 --> 00:11:55,215 Speaker 3: Yeah, excellent, Okay, here you go. The best way to 216 00:11:55,255 --> 00:11:57,575 Speaker 3: keep your fruit on a tree is by feeding it 217 00:11:57,615 --> 00:12:03,175 Speaker 3: some potage self of Yeah, that's interesting, but potash. You 218 00:12:03,175 --> 00:12:06,175 Speaker 3: can get a selfate of potash in the local old 219 00:12:06,535 --> 00:12:09,455 Speaker 3: and so on shots. 220 00:12:07,855 --> 00:12:10,535 Speaker 8: And sprinkle it around the bottom. 221 00:12:10,855 --> 00:12:13,975 Speaker 3: Around the root zone. Yeah, and remember to do that 222 00:12:14,255 --> 00:12:18,055 Speaker 3: next time early in spring, just when it's flowering, so 223 00:12:18,175 --> 00:12:19,815 Speaker 3: you are a bit late, now, you know what I mean? 224 00:12:20,175 --> 00:12:22,775 Speaker 3: Because if that, if that potage is there, not only 225 00:12:22,855 --> 00:12:25,775 Speaker 3: you get good fruit, they develop well and they hang on. 226 00:12:27,055 --> 00:12:30,575 Speaker 8: Awesome. Okay, appreciate you route, Thanks. 227 00:12:30,055 --> 00:12:33,975 Speaker 2: All, take care of In all this. I noticed, actually 228 00:12:34,015 --> 00:12:36,335 Speaker 2: our plum tree, the first red plum drop to the 229 00:12:36,335 --> 00:12:38,735 Speaker 2: ground because the birds are in there already. 230 00:12:38,975 --> 00:12:41,215 Speaker 3: Yeah, of course they are well we've got we've got 231 00:12:41,215 --> 00:12:44,215 Speaker 3: some Damsons going. Julie and I make a lot of Damsons, 232 00:12:44,375 --> 00:12:48,175 Speaker 3: especially the gem Beauty they're off and the Louise Louisa 233 00:12:48,495 --> 00:12:52,495 Speaker 3: plums and and also the the French one. I forgot 234 00:12:52,575 --> 00:12:55,895 Speaker 3: what it's called, doesn't matter, and they're going, well, they're 235 00:12:55,895 --> 00:12:58,775 Speaker 3: really hanging in this. But again it's just holding on 236 00:12:58,815 --> 00:13:01,975 Speaker 3: to the potage in the in the fertilized right right. 237 00:13:02,415 --> 00:13:03,895 Speaker 2: Hey, Cedric, good morning to you. 238 00:13:05,295 --> 00:13:07,655 Speaker 5: Good morning.

I've had them 262 00:14:42,495 --> 00:14:46,375 Speaker 5: for years and they last three years. They die and 263 00:14:46,455 --> 00:14:49,935 Speaker 5: the seeds come up. I take them out and it's 264 00:14:50,015 --> 00:14:52,415 Speaker 5: just like a lawn because it's I haven't got lawn. 265 00:14:52,535 --> 00:14:58,175 Speaker 5: It's bark. It's all bark.

The plants timing is a bit strange, or 270 00:15:10,535 --> 00:15:13,815 Speaker 3: the monic butterflies timing is a bit strange. So you 271 00:15:13,855 --> 00:15:17,055 Speaker 3: won't have anything at the moment for Christmas, but they 272 00:15:17,135 --> 00:15:21,295 Speaker 3: might be just coming a bit later. I'm sorry that, yes, 273 00:15:21,415 --> 00:15:25,055 Speaker 3: it is going to be that. It doesn't matter. 274 00:15:28,295 --> 00:15:31,575 Speaker 2: For planting the swan plants and looking after the monarchs 275 00:15:31,615 --> 00:15:36,615 Speaker 2: all the bec quick text as well before we go. Hi, guys, 276 00:15:36,655 --> 00:15:39,215 Speaker 2: I've done at this time the old line trommer too 277 00:15:39,255 --> 00:15:42,575 Speaker 2: close to a major branch of her special lime tree. 278 00:15:42,655 --> 00:15:45,255 Speaker 2: Will it die? Will it struggle forever? What can I 279 00:15:45,375 --> 00:15:48,375 Speaker 2: do to repair this wound? Please help? Or am I 280 00:15:48,455 --> 00:15:49,215 Speaker 2: in big trouble? 281 00:15:49,895 --> 00:15:51,895 Speaker 3: It depends on where the wound is. If the wound 282 00:15:51,935 --> 00:15:55,135 Speaker 3: is like a ring around the whole trunk, you might 283 00:15:55,175 --> 00:15:59,175 Speaker 3: be in trouble. Ring barked ring back. Yeah, there's nothing 284 00:15:59,175 --> 00:16:02,695 Speaker 3: you can do about that. And honestly you could. You 285 00:16:02,775 --> 00:16:06,175 Speaker 3: could put, if you like, some of that some plaster on, 286 00:16:06,335 --> 00:16:09,255 Speaker 3: if you like, which could be any any any material 287 00:16:09,335 --> 00:16:12,255 Speaker 3: that sticks there, and that would give that particular plate 288 00:16:12,895 --> 00:16:15,695 Speaker 3: blit of shelter. So it can the cambium can put 289 00:16:15,815 --> 00:16:18,975 Speaker 3: new bark back. But some trees don't work like. 290 00:16:18,895 --> 00:16:23,975 Speaker 2: That terminal It isn't a shadow in the garden. I 291 00:16:24,015 --> 00:16:26,375 Speaker 2: guess that's a really good reason to do mulch. Is 292 00:16:26,415 --> 00:16:29,655 Speaker 2: then the malt suppresses the lawn or the weeds, and 293 00:16:29,695 --> 00:16:32,975 Speaker 2: then you're only weed eating around the perimeter or line 294 00:16:33,015 --> 00:16:37,015 Speaker 2: trimming around the perimeter. Of the malt rather than inadvertently 295 00:16:37,175 --> 00:16:38,895 Speaker 2: up against the bark of the tree. 296 00:16:39,335 --> 00:16:43,535 Speaker 3: That's right, that's right. And also and also it's probably 297 00:16:43,575 --> 00:16:46,375 Speaker 3: better not to use that line line trim and near 298 00:16:46,575 --> 00:16:48,215 Speaker 3: those trees. This is what happens. 299 00:16:49,175 --> 00:16:52,975 Speaker 2: Yes, a little look careful with these things. Well, I 300 00:16:53,015 --> 00:16:54,415 Speaker 2: think we should do it again next week. 301 00:16:54,855 --> 00:16:57,055 Speaker 3: Yeah, let's do it all right, look forward. 302 00:16:56,895 --> 00:17:00,615 Speaker 2: To you, take care all of ladies and gentlemen.
