Speaker 2: You cannot get more if you're at my place, you

12
00:00:37,173 --> 00:00:38,133
Speaker 2: cannot get more north.

13
00:00:39,653 --> 00:00:44,493
Speaker 3: I'll come with my compass and check it out now. Anyway,

14
00:00:44,933 --> 00:00:48,053
Speaker 3: Julian and our grandson went to a garden sent and

15
00:00:48,133 --> 00:00:52,733
Speaker 3: said here, Papa, there's your pomegrant. And I thought, okay, wonderful.

16
00:00:52,973 --> 00:00:55,413
Speaker 2: What was the name of that those blue seeds you recommended?

17
00:00:55,533 --> 00:00:58,013
Speaker 2: Was it last week? Oh?

18
00:00:58,253 --> 00:01:05,333
Speaker 4: Yeah, well I'll find them. Yeah yeah, because I because

19
00:01:05,373 --> 00:01:08,013
Speaker 4: after your recommendation when and bought them, and so so

20
00:01:08,253 --> 00:01:09,453
Speaker 4: I can wrote them because I just want a couple

21
00:01:09,493 --> 00:01:11,413
Speaker 4: of extra pollinators in that part of the garden as well.

22
00:01:11,493 --> 00:01:15,373
Speaker 3: Yes, you go, and and that works lovely, and yeah,

23
00:01:15,453 --> 00:01:18,533
Speaker 3: that's that's cool. Anyway, talk about all these things. That's

24
00:01:18,533 --> 00:01:21,293
Speaker 3: a great a everything in summer, it's wonderful. Anyway, So

25
00:01:21,373 --> 00:01:26,733
Speaker 3: we we finally have cicadas in Christs this year. It's

26
00:01:26,733 --> 00:01:31,013
Speaker 3: been it's been pretty slow glow. Yeah, yeah, that's right,

27
00:01:31,213 --> 00:01:33,733
Speaker 3: you got it, You've got it. Gosh. Anyway, so we

28
00:01:33,813 --> 00:01:35,693
Speaker 3: got we've got we've we've got them at the moment,

29
00:01:35,693 --> 00:01:38,653
Speaker 3: which is nice. And it's been literally about three or

30
00:01:38,653 --> 00:01:41,573
Speaker 3: four years that especially on the porthills, it's been really slow.

31
00:01:42,053 --> 00:01:44,213
Speaker 3: So I just want to say to people that have

32
00:01:44,293 --> 00:01:47,053
Speaker 3: been wondering and asking me and people from the media, said,

33
00:01:47,253 --> 00:01:50,013
Speaker 3: why don't we have as many of these have a

34
00:01:50,013 --> 00:01:53,293
Speaker 3: look at your look at your diary, because you know

35
00:01:53,373 --> 00:01:58,973
Speaker 3: that they have this three, five, seven, eleven, and seventeen

36
00:01:59,093 --> 00:02:02,173
Speaker 3: year cycles, which by the way, are all prime numbers,

37
00:02:02,213 --> 00:02:05,933
Speaker 3: as you will know. And that's a clever threat actually

38
00:02:05,933 --> 00:02:07,933
Speaker 3: their work on that at the moment, because then they're

39
00:02:07,973 --> 00:02:11,973
Speaker 3: now getting the idea that the prime numbers will make

40
00:02:12,053 --> 00:02:17,693
Speaker 3: sure that two and four, if you're like year creatures

41
00:02:17,693 --> 00:02:24,533
Speaker 3: that eat the cicadas cannot synchronize with their particular system.

42
00:02:24,813 --> 00:02:27,253
Speaker 3: You know, you only if you if you if you

43
00:02:27,333 --> 00:02:29,853
Speaker 3: only do two year or four year life cycles. You

44
00:02:29,853 --> 00:02:33,053
Speaker 3: will only see a cicada in the large numbers every

45
00:02:33,173 --> 00:02:37,253
Speaker 3: sixty four years. That's an interesting one. Oh, this is

46
00:02:37,333 --> 00:02:40,373
Speaker 3: this is this is science. Don't worry. But anyway, they're here.

47
00:02:40,773 --> 00:02:43,373
Speaker 3: So we've got them at the moment they're making the noise.

48
00:02:43,453 --> 00:02:46,653
Speaker 3: We've got the coreus cicadas, the clapping cicadas they do

49
00:02:46,733 --> 00:02:50,773
Speaker 3: this finger clipping click click click. And the males, of course,

50
00:02:50,773 --> 00:02:53,013
Speaker 3: they make all that noise because what they're doing is

51
00:02:53,013 --> 00:02:59,853
Speaker 3: they've got timpani, which actually makes the sound a lot low, low, low, higher, higher, more,

52
00:03:00,533 --> 00:03:03,693
Speaker 3: if you like, far more efficient to find them. And

53
00:03:03,733 --> 00:03:08,853
Speaker 3: the females they they known to be, you know, they

54
00:03:08,893 --> 00:03:12,493
Speaker 3: are basically known to be the most noisiest male on

55
00:03:12,533 --> 00:03:15,213
Speaker 3: the block. The females know that, and they know exactly

56
00:03:15,213 --> 00:03:17,213
Speaker 3: how to get there. So what they do is they

57
00:03:17,333 --> 00:03:20,813
Speaker 3: lay their eggs on on some shrubs and plants if

58
00:03:20,813 --> 00:03:24,093
Speaker 3: you like, especially on these on the way where they

59
00:03:24,133 --> 00:03:27,813
Speaker 3: can climb you know, the wood, and then they carry

60
00:03:27,813 --> 00:03:32,493
Speaker 3: on basically life cycle is what do you call it.

61
00:03:33,173 --> 00:03:35,973
Speaker 3: They hatch if you like, in a couple of months time,

62
00:03:36,133 --> 00:03:44,973
Speaker 3: in early maybe early winter, so that sort of stuff. Yeah,

63
00:03:45,093 --> 00:03:48,133
Speaker 3: and there going down in the ground Basically they become

64
00:03:48,173 --> 00:03:51,813
Speaker 3: there and they sit there literally eating the leaves of

65
00:03:51,893 --> 00:03:54,893
Speaker 3: all those plants, and then they come out again, just

66
00:03:55,013 --> 00:03:55,253
Speaker 3: like that.

67
00:03:55,373 --> 00:03:59,733
Speaker 2: From low easy, amazing, It's good, very good.

68
00:03:59,853 --> 00:04:00,653
Speaker 3: Get you well.

69
00:04:00,653 --> 00:04:03,933
Speaker 2: We can compare pomegranate notes as the math continue. To

70
00:04:04,013 --> 00:04:06,173
Speaker 2: look forward to hearing how that goes. Remember the good

71
00:04:06,213 --> 00:04:09,733
Speaker 2: nor plenty. Your son wroill climb past in the garden
