Speaker 1: autumn upgrades on Still's best sellers.

4
00:00:19,055 --> 00:00:22,335
Speaker 2: Right, Oh, that means it's time. If we're talking excuse me,

00:00:22,375 --> 00:00:23,495
Speaker 2: still we're talking gardens.

6
00:00:23,495 --> 00:00:27,855
Speaker 3: Hello, rude, Hello, take it easy.

7
00:00:28,775 --> 00:00:31,535
Speaker 2: I'm so excited to get stuck into the garden, you know,

8
00:00:32,935 --> 00:00:34,415
Speaker 2: always always hell are you?

9
00:00:34,495 --> 00:00:37,815
Speaker 3: I'm good, thank you. I've started a little project and

10
00:00:37,855 --> 00:00:40,215
Speaker 3: I did it yesterday with Jack Tam I'm so you can.

11
00:00:40,335 --> 00:00:44,335
Speaker 3: People can look that up online if they like. It's

12
00:00:44,375 --> 00:00:48,135
Speaker 3: about being the end of summer and all that sort

13
00:00:48,175 --> 00:00:50,735
Speaker 3: of stuff, and it's it's it's getting into autumn, getting

14
00:00:50,775 --> 00:00:53,295
Speaker 3: cooler and all that sort of stuff. So I've been

15
00:00:53,335 --> 00:00:56,535
Speaker 3: looking at why don't we do something really nice for

16
00:00:56,575 --> 00:00:59,495
Speaker 3: the environment and for people at this that if we've

17
00:00:59,535 --> 00:01:05,015
Speaker 3: got some really good seeds of of of of tomatoes

18
00:01:05,015 --> 00:01:08,375
Speaker 3: for instance, you know, shared and we your neighbors. So

19
00:01:09,495 --> 00:01:11,655
Speaker 3: I'll give you an example. You know, when I was

20
00:01:11,695 --> 00:01:16,055
Speaker 3: building bird bending in Tiano not that long ago, last

21
00:01:16,135 --> 00:01:18,815
Speaker 3: end of last year, I came across a guy who

22
00:01:18,815 --> 00:01:23,015
Speaker 3: had some really nice plants. Neil Robertson was his name.

23
00:01:23,015 --> 00:01:25,335
Speaker 3: And he gave me some and they're beautiful. And then

24
00:01:25,375 --> 00:01:28,335
Speaker 3: I found out they are open pollinated. They're not F

25
00:01:28,455 --> 00:01:32,575
Speaker 3: one hundreds. In other words, they're not you know, things

26
00:01:32,615 --> 00:01:36,615
Speaker 3: that have incredibly strange parents that you can't use the

27
00:01:36,655 --> 00:01:38,375
Speaker 3: seed of because you don't know what the hell is

28
00:01:38,415 --> 00:01:41,415
Speaker 3: going to happen. But if you have these these these

29
00:01:41,455 --> 00:01:46,335
Speaker 3: wonderful if you like non F one hybrids. But the

30
00:01:46,375 --> 00:01:49,095
Speaker 3: things like heirlooms, you know, and the ones that are

31
00:01:49,135 --> 00:01:51,855
Speaker 3: open pollinated, you can actually save the seeds. So I've

32
00:01:51,855 --> 00:01:54,655
Speaker 3: started doing that, and I was wondering, you want some,

33
00:01:55,215 --> 00:02:00,615
Speaker 3: they're really really lovely for next year. I'll send you, yeah,

34
00:02:00,615 --> 00:02:03,775
Speaker 3: for next year. And as I said on the website

35
00:02:03,815 --> 00:02:08,215
Speaker 3: of Jack, you'll find how to do that anyway. I will. Look,

36
00:02:08,375 --> 00:02:10,935
Speaker 3: I make that point. Good thing to do now, it's

37
00:02:10,975 --> 00:02:11,815
Speaker 3: a lovely idea.

38
00:02:12,255 --> 00:02:14,975
Speaker 2: Yeah rightioh, Well, let's rip into it because we've got

39
00:02:14,975 --> 00:02:15,575
Speaker 2: people waiting.

40
00:02:16,655 --> 00:02:17,255
Speaker 1: Should we do that?

41
00:02:17,335 --> 00:02:17,775
Speaker 4: Right? Ye?

42
00:02:19,015 --> 00:02:20,655
Speaker 2: Actually, I tell you what. I just want to mention

43
00:02:20,735 --> 00:02:23,495
Speaker 2: something that I'm going to this week, which is really exciting.

44
00:02:23,815 --> 00:02:25,495
Speaker 2: It's had a little bit of coverage in the news,

45
00:02:25,535 --> 00:02:29,375
Speaker 2: and that it's a project where students at one Tree

46
00:02:29,455 --> 00:02:32,935
Speaker 2: Hill College in Auckland took an old state house, basically

47
00:02:32,975 --> 00:02:36,495
Speaker 2: an old KO house, refurbished it and it's going up

48
00:02:36,495 --> 00:02:38,695
Speaker 2: for auction on Thursday. So I've been out to have

49
00:02:38,735 --> 00:02:41,615
Speaker 2: a look at the house. It's fantastic and the auction

50
00:02:41,775 --> 00:02:44,175
Speaker 2: is on Thursday, so I don't know. If anyone's interested

51
00:02:44,215 --> 00:02:46,335
Speaker 2: in a pretty much brand new three bedroom house that

52
00:02:46,415 --> 00:02:48,775
Speaker 2: you can take away, you should check it out on

53
00:02:48,815 --> 00:02:52,175
Speaker 2: trade me. It's great. And more importantly, it's been a

54
00:02:52,175 --> 00:02:54,895
Speaker 2: phenomenal project for the young people involved, like for the

55
00:02:54,975 --> 00:02:59,495
Speaker 2: students being able to literally walk from their classroom onto

56
00:02:59,535 --> 00:03:04,615
Speaker 2: this effectively temporary building site at their school, work with professionals,

57
00:03:04,655 --> 00:03:07,535
Speaker 2: see how a house is put together. It's really environmentally

58
00:03:07,575 --> 00:03:09,975
Speaker 2: friendly house in terms of energy efficiency. It's got a

59
00:03:10,055 --> 00:03:14,415
Speaker 2: home Star seven rating. It's just fantastic and I wish

60
00:03:14,455 --> 00:03:17,975
Speaker 2: them all the best for the auction on Thursday right now. Yeah,

61
00:03:18,015 --> 00:03:19,895
Speaker 2: hang on, you talked about this a couple of years

62
00:03:20,655 --> 00:03:24,255
Speaker 2: great and I had Charlot mchowan, who's the exit. You

63
00:03:24,295 --> 00:03:26,135
Speaker 2: know how when you you know this when you go

64
00:03:26,135 --> 00:03:28,815
Speaker 2: to community groups and that there's always one person who's

65
00:03:28,815 --> 00:03:32,735
Speaker 2: got that drive and determination for these projects. And she's

66
00:03:32,775 --> 00:03:34,975
Speaker 2: that person, along with a whole bunch of others at

67
00:03:34,975 --> 00:03:38,175
Speaker 2: the school, but in particular, you know, she's kind of

68
00:03:38,215 --> 00:03:40,495
Speaker 2: taken the idea run with it and done just such

69
00:03:40,495 --> 00:03:43,575
Speaker 2: a fabulous job and talking to the young people involved.

70
00:03:43,615 --> 00:03:44,695
Speaker 2: That's really exciting.

71
00:03:45,055 --> 00:03:48,095
Speaker 3: And that's and it's hands on stuff. Yeah, and that

72
00:03:48,255 --> 00:03:52,015
Speaker 3: is what I call, you know, multi curricular sort of jobs,

73
00:03:52,135 --> 00:03:54,655
Speaker 3: that's really what it is. I'm doing the same. I'm

74
00:03:54,655 --> 00:03:57,735
Speaker 3: going to field based STAM Flexi Conference seven to mine

79
00:04:09,815 --> 00:04:11,415
Speaker 3: and those are the ones we need to do better.

80
00:04:11,615 --> 00:04:15,855
Speaker 2: It's all more and more absolutely fantastic, right O, Londa,

81
00:04:16,015 --> 00:04:17,375
Speaker 2: A very good morning to you.

82
00:04:18,215 --> 00:04:23,175
Speaker 5: Good morning. I've got a problem with keller lilies. When

83
00:04:23,215 --> 00:04:26,415
Speaker 5: we bought this property just over two years ago, there

84
00:04:26,495 --> 00:04:30,175
Speaker 5: are several different big clumps of keller lilies and they

85
00:04:30,215 --> 00:04:34,095
Speaker 5: were all different colors and they were absolutely stunning. This

86
00:04:34,295 --> 00:04:37,695
Speaker 5: year we've had a tarm underneda and moskuls, so we've

87
00:04:37,695 --> 00:04:43,295
Speaker 5: had a terrible summer. Really, yes, they have been very weak.

88
00:04:43,975 --> 00:04:47,855
Speaker 5: What flowers they do produce have just folded over and

89
00:04:47,935 --> 00:04:49,575
Speaker 5: they've all become the same color.

90
00:04:52,895 --> 00:04:55,575
Speaker 3: Yeah, have you know, there's something to be said for

91
00:04:55,615 --> 00:04:59,735
Speaker 3: getting some new stock if you like, you see the

92
00:04:59,895 --> 00:05:02,935
Speaker 3: hardiest ones go through the crappiest winters, you know, in

93
00:05:02,975 --> 00:05:06,015
Speaker 3: the crappiest summers. If you get my drift, and sometimes

94
00:05:06,055 --> 00:05:10,135
Speaker 3: you need to, you need to re re re see them,

95
00:05:10,175 --> 00:05:13,255
Speaker 3: if you like, get new stock. I think that's would

96
00:05:13,295 --> 00:05:16,775
Speaker 3: be a good thing to do. Honestly this, you know,

97
00:05:16,855 --> 00:05:21,375
Speaker 3: the hardiest ones survive and the beautiful, the beautifulest ones

98
00:05:21,535 --> 00:05:24,415
Speaker 3: are not always the strongest ones for your environment. You

99
00:05:24,495 --> 00:05:26,375
Speaker 3: might have to replace some of them, you know what

100
00:05:26,455 --> 00:05:26,735
Speaker 3: I mean.

101
00:05:27,495 --> 00:05:29,855
Speaker 5: Would that be the reason though, that they've all changed

102
00:05:29,975 --> 00:05:30,855
Speaker 5: the same color?

103
00:05:31,295 --> 00:05:31,535
Speaker 3: Yeap?

104
00:05:32,975 --> 00:05:37,255
Speaker 5: Oh, okay, all that's disappointing because they were just so beautiful.

105
00:05:37,775 --> 00:05:39,495
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you can you can get you can get

106
00:05:39,535 --> 00:05:43,295
Speaker 3: those varieties online or in garden centers and things like that.

107
00:05:43,455 --> 00:05:47,815
Speaker 3: I'm sure, Santa Desha, Absolutely, there's so many different colors beautiful.

108
00:05:48,735 --> 00:05:50,495
Speaker 5: Okay, oh, thanks very much for that.

109
00:05:51,135 --> 00:05:53,495
Speaker 3: Aint no worries, but that'll be it. You'll find it

110
00:05:53,535 --> 00:05:58,255
Speaker 3: will go for a couple of years, Linda, no worries, right, thanks.

111
00:05:58,095 --> 00:06:03,135
Speaker 2: Very much all this. You take care and Trish a

112
00:06:03,335 --> 00:06:06,295
Speaker 2: very good morning to you.

113
00:06:07,215 --> 00:06:09,095
Speaker 3: Huh, Trish, how are you?

114
00:06:10,055 --> 00:06:10,735
Speaker 6: Is that rude?

115
00:06:11,255 --> 00:06:12,335
Speaker 3: Sometimes? Yeah?

116
00:06:14,255 --> 00:06:19,895
Speaker 6: Okay, I just really want your help. I've been feeding

117
00:06:19,975 --> 00:06:24,055
Speaker 6: the birds on my property for oh a long long

118
00:06:24,175 --> 00:06:30,095
Speaker 6: time with wild bird seed. I get the Fizzard Friends

00:06:36,295 --> 00:06:43,695
Speaker 6: one called Value wild bird seed, so they're quite expensive,

121
00:06:44,215 --> 00:06:45,775
Speaker 6: about nineteen dollars.

122
00:06:46,815 --> 00:06:51,495
Speaker 3: Because the fund anyway.

123
00:06:51,255 --> 00:06:55,975

125
00:07:03,815 --> 00:07:12,975
Speaker 6: particularly be quite trish anyway. They they're just not eating

126
00:07:13,095 --> 00:07:15,895
Speaker 6: is and I just don't understand why.

127
00:07:15,975 --> 00:07:19,855
Speaker 3: I get them. What birds? Are you thinking of eating them?

128
00:07:20,135 --> 00:07:21,815
Speaker 3: Or needing to eating them if you like?

129
00:07:22,815 --> 00:07:26,495
Speaker 6: Well, I just it's something I love to do because

130
00:07:26,575 --> 00:07:28,615
Speaker 6: I'm passionate about all wild Ye.

131
00:07:29,535 --> 00:07:31,455
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's good. But what sort of birds are

132
00:07:31,535 --> 00:07:34,575
Speaker 3: not eating them?

133
00:07:34,615 --> 00:07:37,455
Speaker 6: None of them? But they're not really none of them.

134
00:07:37,735 --> 00:07:40,775
Speaker 3: Know, So what have you got flying around in the garden?

135
00:07:40,855 --> 00:07:41,575
Speaker 3: What species?

136
00:07:43,975 --> 00:07:47,695
Speaker 6: Mainly sparrows and the little finches you know, so a

137
00:07:47,775 --> 00:07:50,815
Speaker 6: wee bit of yellow in their wings. I'm not sure what.

138
00:07:52,775 --> 00:07:55,255
Speaker 3: They drink? Finches yeah, go on ye.

139
00:07:55,895 --> 00:08:00,615
Speaker 6: And the occasional fantail two.

140
00:08:02,055 --> 00:08:04,735
Speaker 3: So okay, now here we go. This is the way

141
00:08:04,775 --> 00:08:07,815
Speaker 3: it goes through. Yes, you are bringing the right time.

142
00:08:07,895 --> 00:08:12,735
Speaker 3: Yesterday I went with my grandson Edoua, and we put

143
00:08:12,775 --> 00:08:15,335
Speaker 3: a lot of seeds on the ground at my place

144
00:08:15,975 --> 00:08:19,655
Speaker 3: and put nets up above it to catch those birds

145
00:08:19,655 --> 00:08:22,295
Speaker 3: to give them a band a ring around their legs.

146
00:08:23,135 --> 00:08:29,175
Speaker 3: And we had plenty off greenfinches, sparrows, We even had

147
00:08:29,215 --> 00:08:32,135
Speaker 3: hedge sparrows and things like that, and it's just a

148
00:08:32,135 --> 00:08:35,655
Speaker 3: matter of time for them when it gets cooler. They

149
00:08:35,735 --> 00:08:39,055
Speaker 3: really don't mind your seed at all. But at the moment,

150
00:08:39,135 --> 00:08:41,615
Speaker 3: there might be something else in your area that they

151
00:08:41,655 --> 00:08:43,255
Speaker 3: prefer over these seeds.

152
00:08:44,495 --> 00:08:49,895
Speaker 6: Because my property property backs right onto the South Brosian domain,

153
00:08:51,095 --> 00:08:55,575
Speaker 6: so maybe there's something out there. Yeah, you know. I

154
00:08:55,735 --> 00:09:01,695
Speaker 6: feed them fruit at lunchtime, chopped up pears and apples

155
00:09:01,775 --> 00:09:04,575
Speaker 6: and that sort of thing, because.

156
00:09:04,535 --> 00:09:06,695
Speaker 3: Do you get silver rice coming on those later on

157
00:09:06,775 --> 00:09:07,175
Speaker 3: in winter.

158
00:09:08,095 --> 00:09:10,095
Speaker 6: I'm not sure what they look like, rude.

159
00:09:10,255 --> 00:09:15,535
Speaker 3: Well, they're little, little greeny kind of birds that have

160
00:09:15,815 --> 00:09:19,815
Speaker 3: a wonderful white ring around their eye, very bright white wings.

161
00:09:19,855 --> 00:09:20,255
Speaker 3: Small thing.

162
00:09:21,735 --> 00:09:29,215
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, I shall But the only thing I can

163
00:09:29,255 --> 00:09:32,935
Speaker 6: think of. I've got a big black cat coming onto

164
00:09:33,055 --> 00:09:37,655
Speaker 6: the property, and he comes up over the fence where

165
00:09:37,655 --> 00:09:40,815
Speaker 6: the little birds wait because they know when it's for us. Nine.

166
00:09:43,295 --> 00:09:50,495
Speaker 6: I know when it's no. No, no, I'm eighty three. Rude.

167
00:09:49,495 --> 00:09:54,935
Speaker 6: In my family don't live in christ so it really

168
00:09:54,935 --> 00:09:59,215
Speaker 6: worries me. I've always had them in dogs but cat

169
00:09:59,255 --> 00:10:02,055
Speaker 6: and dog that lived till those seventeen Can.

170
00:10:01,935 --> 00:10:04,135
Speaker 3: You find out who owns that cat.

171
00:10:06,335 --> 00:10:06,935
Speaker 2: The sun time?

172
00:10:07,975 --> 00:10:11,775
Speaker 6: No, No, I've got the answer for that, rude. I've

173
00:10:11,815 --> 00:10:17,975
Speaker 6: had cats and dogs always rescue ones. Now I put

174
00:10:18,175 --> 00:10:21,215
Speaker 6: a collar on the last cat, on all of them

175
00:10:21,255 --> 00:10:28,615
Speaker 6: actually with a you know, but you need two bells

176
00:10:30,255 --> 00:10:34,095
Speaker 6: because one doesn't work because having to you know, and

177
00:10:34,375 --> 00:10:37,135
Speaker 6: rubs up against each other, of course. But when my

178
00:10:37,295 --> 00:10:41,735
Speaker 6: cat came inside for a sleep, I always took it off,

179
00:10:42,455 --> 00:10:44,855
Speaker 6: you know, because and had a cat door and made

180
00:10:44,855 --> 00:10:48,135
Speaker 6: sure I shut the cat door. But I had so

181
00:10:48,215 --> 00:10:52,215
Speaker 6: I'm his cat once called Hossan something or other, and

182
00:10:52,255 --> 00:10:54,975
Speaker 6: he used to put his poor over this collar while

183
00:10:54,975 --> 00:10:56,615
Speaker 6: he hopped along on Threely.

184
00:10:59,775 --> 00:11:03,815
Speaker 2: It's a brilliant story. Thank you for all the very best.

185
00:11:03,815 --> 00:11:09,815

Speaker 7: I can't seem to get on top of them, millions

190
00:11:21,455 --> 00:11:22,935
Speaker 7: and millions of aphords.

191
00:11:23,255 --> 00:11:30,615
Speaker 3: Yep. That happens at times. Niem oil, nim oil and

192
00:11:29,575 --> 00:11:32,335

196
00:11:45,255 --> 00:11:47,455
Speaker 3: a good dose right on the top, and do it

197
00:11:47,495 --> 00:11:50,695
Speaker 3: again in say two weeks time, and if they're still there,

198
00:11:50,735 --> 00:11:53,015
Speaker 3: do it again two weeks after that. And the two

199
00:11:53,055 --> 00:11:56,775
Speaker 3: weeks is the is the time it takes for eggs

200
00:11:56,935 --> 00:11:59,975
Speaker 3: or for young ones to become adults. So you need

201
00:12:00,055 --> 00:12:02,255
Speaker 3: to make sure that you can actually if you've got

202
00:12:02,255 --> 00:12:05,215

Speaker 2: good morning.

214
00:12:38,295 --> 00:12:44,535
Speaker 4: I'm calling you again about wasps. Yeah, I've fun you

215
00:12:44,615 --> 00:12:47,655
Speaker 4: a couple of times, and I'm literally playing whack a

216
00:12:47,735 --> 00:12:49,815
Speaker 4: mole with paper wasps. And a lot of the time

217
00:12:49,935 --> 00:12:54,655
Speaker 4: I can't find the nests. I've literally spent it was

218
00:12:54,695 --> 00:12:58,935
Speaker 4: like decades following wasps and where they're going to? Is

219
00:12:59,055 --> 00:13:02,215
Speaker 4: anybody actually pay the paper I've got this bix for

220
00:13:02,295 --> 00:13:05,215
Speaker 4: German wasps. Of course that doesn't work on the paper wasps.

221
00:13:05,295 --> 00:13:07,215
Speaker 3: No, it doesn't actually, to be quite honest.

222
00:13:07,255 --> 00:13:07,295
Speaker 5: No.

223
00:13:07,735 --> 00:13:09,575
Speaker 3: Best thing is, you know there's a little did I

224
00:13:09,615 --> 00:13:11,775
Speaker 3: tell you about the little trick of catching one, putting

225
00:13:11,815 --> 00:13:14,615
Speaker 3: it in the fridge for about freezing for three minutes,

226
00:13:14,855 --> 00:13:16,655
Speaker 3: putting a thing about it, and find it to go

227
00:13:16,975 --> 00:13:19,455
Speaker 3: fly back. You can easier follow it. Yeah.

228
00:13:19,495 --> 00:13:23,255
Speaker 4: I tried that, but I'm literally not goking. I would

229
00:13:23,335 --> 00:13:25,895
Speaker 4: spend the next three years doing that. Like and you

230
00:13:25,975 --> 00:13:28,375
Speaker 4: probably saw the article in the paper recently talking about

231
00:13:28,375 --> 00:13:33,135
Speaker 4: obviously the plague of what's's happening? Like, We've like literally

232
00:13:33,215 --> 00:13:37,055
Speaker 4: hundreds of different little nests. I've probably killed last the moment.

233
00:13:37,055 --> 00:13:38,815
Speaker 4: I'm probably finding twenty or thirty a week.

234
00:13:39,335 --> 00:13:43,455
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have. Because my eyes are open to insects.

235
00:13:43,495 --> 00:13:45,935
Speaker 3: I see them quite often. You go in a certain

236
00:13:45,975 --> 00:13:49,215
Speaker 3: direction and I have Well I'm not always, but I'm

237
00:13:49,255 --> 00:13:52,735
Speaker 3: pretty good at finding the nest. Knowing that they have

238
00:13:52,775 --> 00:13:55,455
Speaker 3: a nest that sits upside down on the branch from

239
00:13:55,495 --> 00:13:58,295
Speaker 3: on the bottom, you know, nice and sheltered in a

240
00:13:58,375 --> 00:14:01,455
Speaker 3: shrub or something like that, and you will be able

241
00:14:01,495 --> 00:14:03,415
Speaker 3: to find them once you've got them. Of course, it's

242
00:14:03,455 --> 00:14:06,975
Speaker 3: that evening gig of somebody holding the torch you spraying

243
00:14:06,975 --> 00:14:10,095
Speaker 3: it with an insecticide that will get them in. No,

244
00:14:10,295 --> 00:14:13,015
Speaker 3: to that is the way. But you're right. It is

245
00:14:13,055 --> 00:14:16,095
Speaker 3: the finding of the nest that is the problem, and

246
00:14:16,135 --> 00:14:18,975
Speaker 3: that is that is that is hard sometimes. Yeah.

247
00:14:19,015 --> 00:14:21,895
Speaker 4: So there's nothing like a vespex for paper wasps.

248
00:14:22,055 --> 00:14:26,055
Speaker 3: No, there's not. No, No, We've got three We've got Actually,

249
00:14:26,095 --> 00:14:27,855
Speaker 3: I know somebody who does this for a living. She

250
00:14:28,055 --> 00:14:31,015
Speaker 3: catches some of the latest version of we've got out

251
00:14:31,015 --> 00:14:34,335
Speaker 3: three species of paper wasps, and she catches them to

252
00:14:34,495 --> 00:14:39,015
Speaker 3: get a material that you can control them with that

253
00:14:39,175 --> 00:14:43,575
Speaker 3: is still in in if you like being organized at

254
00:14:43,575 --> 00:14:45,575
Speaker 3: the moment and being done in labs and all that

255
00:14:45,615 --> 00:14:47,855
Speaker 3: sort of stuff. But she's got really good eyes and

256
00:14:47,935 --> 00:14:50,255
Speaker 3: she knows exactly where to find them. It's really cool

257
00:14:50,295 --> 00:14:52,655
Speaker 3: going out with her. But she was in the she

258
00:14:52,775 --> 00:14:54,735
Speaker 3: wasn't She's in the North Island base, but she was

259
00:14:54,775 --> 00:14:57,695
Speaker 3: at that stage in Central Otago. So there are people

260
00:14:57,695 --> 00:14:59,495
Speaker 3: that can actually do that, but you've got to be

261
00:14:59,535 --> 00:15:00,495
Speaker 3: bloody good at it.

262
00:15:02,495 --> 00:15:06,855
Speaker 2: Thanks Michael. A lot of people are ta saying that,

263
00:15:06,975 --> 00:15:09,935
Speaker 2: you know, like this year, the number of what's seems

264
00:15:10,015 --> 00:15:12,535
Speaker 2: to be more evident, or the numbers are up. Is

265
00:15:12,575 --> 00:15:13,695
Speaker 2: there anything behind that?

266
00:15:14,375 --> 00:15:17,415
Speaker 3: I have no evidence of that at this not where

267
00:15:17,455 --> 00:15:19,375
Speaker 3: I am. And it might be local, you know, it

268
00:15:19,455 --> 00:15:20,335
Speaker 3: might be a local thing.

269
00:15:20,535 --> 00:15:24,055
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, fair enough. Hey Jenny, good morning to you.

270
00:15:26,215 --> 00:15:29,815
Speaker 8: Good morning boys, love the session. I've got a question

271
00:15:29,935 --> 00:15:31,935
Speaker 8: about violets for rude.

272
00:15:31,975 --> 00:15:32,335
Speaker 3: Please.

273
00:15:33,495 --> 00:15:37,095
Speaker 8: Year before last I brought some plants online and they

274
00:15:37,135 --> 00:15:40,935
Speaker 8: were to be old fashioned violets with very strong perfume,

275
00:15:40,975 --> 00:15:45,295
Speaker 8: which I thought would be fantastic. They did nothing, and

276
00:15:45,375 --> 00:15:48,815
Speaker 8: I thought, oh dear, they've died. But however, in the

277
00:15:48,895 --> 00:15:52,575
Speaker 8: last month or two. Suddenly I've got this wonderful mass

278
00:15:52,615 --> 00:15:57,335
Speaker 8: of leaves that have propped up, dark green, shiny, violently.

279
00:15:58,775 --> 00:16:02,455
Speaker 8: And then I got the little heads coming up, and

280
00:16:02,495 --> 00:16:05,375
Speaker 8: I thought, everygo. And they turned out I think to

281
00:16:05,455 --> 00:16:09,855
Speaker 8: be seas, because they've got like three little helicopter blades

282
00:16:09,895 --> 00:16:13,495
Speaker 8: on them that are white, and they're quite firm to touch.

283
00:16:13,975 --> 00:16:17,735
Speaker 8: They when they haven't unfolded, they look like a flower

284
00:16:17,775 --> 00:16:22,455
Speaker 8: about to open. But when they do, really even and

285
00:16:22,575 --> 00:16:26,055
Speaker 8: they're white but quite firm, and not a single sign

286
00:16:26,095 --> 00:16:28,375
Speaker 8: of a flower. And I just wondered, would they be

287
00:16:28,495 --> 00:16:32,655
Speaker 8: seed heads? And would next year maybe that.

288
00:16:32,735 --> 00:16:35,815
Speaker 3: Could could be. I don't know. I'm not a violet grower.

289
00:16:35,895 --> 00:16:38,575
Speaker 3: I wish Julie was here, which because she's she's done

290
00:16:38,575 --> 00:16:40,975
Speaker 3: this in the past and she would know what that was. No,

291
00:16:41,175 --> 00:16:45,415
Speaker 3: I can't tell you if this is delayed. If it's

292
00:16:45,735 --> 00:16:48,295
Speaker 3: seed heads, you must have had flowers of something.

293
00:16:49,855 --> 00:16:52,255
Speaker 8: No, well you think so when I've been waiting with

294
00:16:52,375 --> 00:16:54,455
Speaker 8: great interest.

295
00:16:53,935 --> 00:16:57,655
Speaker 3: That's what I would say. And are you sure they're violets?

296
00:16:59,295 --> 00:17:02,095
Speaker 8: Well, I bought them as violots, and the leaf looked

297
00:17:02,255 --> 00:17:05,775
Speaker 8: exactly like violots. I've got vallots and a pot next

298
00:17:05,775 --> 00:17:08,775
Speaker 8: to them. The ordinary ones and the same belief, but

299
00:17:08,975 --> 00:17:10,815
Speaker 8: much lighter.

300
00:17:10,415 --> 00:17:14,535
Speaker 3: Green in this case, Can you take some of these

301
00:17:14,575 --> 00:17:17,055
Speaker 3: to your garden center together and identified by the people

302
00:17:17,055 --> 00:17:20,775
Speaker 3: that you bought them off? That might have been a

303
00:17:20,815 --> 00:17:22,535
Speaker 3: mistake there somewhere, I don't know.

304
00:17:23,615 --> 00:17:29,295
Speaker 8: Yeah, oh, very good question. Black suity mold on things?

305
00:17:29,695 --> 00:17:30,095
Speaker 8: Nay more?

306
00:17:31,375 --> 00:17:34,495
Speaker 3: No, No, well, yeah, it depends on who. It depends

307
00:17:34,495 --> 00:17:39,295
Speaker 3: on who poos the honey jew on the leaves or

308
00:17:39,295 --> 00:17:42,775
Speaker 3: on the flowers or wherever they are, because once you've

309
00:17:42,775 --> 00:17:45,775
Speaker 3: got honeyjew on a leaf, you get the black suity

310
00:17:45,855 --> 00:17:50,575
Speaker 3: mold on the honeyjew. Yeah. So it's always a step

311
00:17:50,655 --> 00:17:54,135
Speaker 3: sucking bug that pops out honeyjew and that is the

312
00:17:54,135 --> 00:17:57,615
Speaker 3: beginning of your souty mold. And if it is a

313
00:17:57,655 --> 00:18:00,615
Speaker 3: step sucking bug, it could be depending on how big

314
00:18:00,615 --> 00:18:04,015
Speaker 3: it is, could be controlled with that material. You're right,

315
00:18:04,055 --> 00:18:07,535
Speaker 3: with knee oil or you can have anything that kills

316
00:18:08,055 --> 00:18:10,455
Speaker 3: a fits and things like that. You'll find that will

317
00:18:10,535 --> 00:18:12,015
Speaker 3: work right.

318
00:18:12,415 --> 00:18:14,655

329
00:18:48,775 --> 00:18:51,935
Speaker 9: few years, and before the summer started, I figured I

330
00:18:51,975 --> 00:18:55,055
Speaker 9: had sorted it all out. I've got coddling. What's on

331

336
00:19:13,655 --> 00:19:15,335
Speaker 9: note on them and tell them to get lost and

337
00:19:15,375 --> 00:19:16,175
Speaker 9: go somewhere else.

338
00:19:16,295 --> 00:19:17,455
Speaker 8: But I don't read.

00:19:52,055 --> 00:19:54,775
Speaker 3: that in shops if you like, and if you and

349
00:19:54,775 --> 00:19:57,175
Speaker 3: if you get hold of it, it is u That

350
00:19:57,335 --> 00:20:00,175
Speaker 3: is the stuff you spray on your plants, on your

351
00:20:00,215 --> 00:20:04,215
Speaker 3: on your trees just after flowering, literally a week after flowering,

352
00:20:04,535 --> 00:20:07,375
Speaker 3: and you do that again, and you do that again

353
00:20:07,415 --> 00:20:09,775
Speaker 3: a week later. I know it one hundred and fifty bucks,

354
00:20:09,895 --> 00:20:12,255
Speaker 3: but honestly it lasts for five years. You have to

355
00:20:12,255 --> 00:20:15,095
Speaker 3: do it every year anyway, and that is the best

356
00:20:15,135 --> 00:20:18,655
