1
00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,453
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Tame podcast

2
00:00:10,573 --> 00:00:11,733
Speaker 1: from News Talks be.

3
00:00:12,773 --> 00:00:14,773
Speaker 2: Eight to eleven non News Talks. He'd be our man

4
00:00:14,813 --> 00:00:17,213
Speaker 2: in the Gardener's Rude Climb past, and he is the

5
00:00:17,253 --> 00:00:19,333
Speaker 2: master of the understatement. He sent me a note this

6
00:00:19,373 --> 00:00:22,133
Speaker 2: week that begins with these words. So far this winter

7
00:00:22,173 --> 00:00:24,733
Speaker 2: of ours has been pretty wet. Oh, I think is

8
00:00:24,773 --> 00:00:25,413
Speaker 2: past you, sir?

9
00:00:28,653 --> 00:00:32,373
Speaker 3: But have we Did you spot the the typical thing?

10
00:00:32,533 --> 00:00:35,813
Speaker 3: That's what it's about, isn't it? But it's also causing

11
00:00:35,853 --> 00:00:38,533
Speaker 3: a lot of troubles. But by the way, goodness me

12
00:00:39,093 --> 00:00:43,053
Speaker 3: two cars? Yeah, which one did you see?

13
00:00:43,973 --> 00:00:47,613
Speaker 2: I saw the colorful one? I don't know what I'm

14
00:00:47,653 --> 00:00:52,613
Speaker 2: sorry to say, Yeah, I mean yeah, well so not

15
00:00:52,653 --> 00:00:55,293
Speaker 2: only the two cars. I actually think I'm my favorite birds. Sorry,

16
00:00:55,293 --> 00:00:56,733
Speaker 2: we'll come back to the to the rain in just

17
00:00:56,773 --> 00:01:00,973
Speaker 2: a moment. Are the hummingbirds? I could watch all day?

18
00:01:01,213 --> 00:01:04,613
Speaker 2: They are incredible. But they they move like the snitch

19
00:01:04,733 --> 00:01:06,813
Speaker 2: moves and the Harry Potter films, And that's not a

20
00:01:06,893 --> 00:01:08,693
Speaker 2: very good enalogy, but the fact that they can kind

21
00:01:08,733 --> 00:01:11,933
Speaker 2: of go forwards and backwards, it's just so amazing. I

22
00:01:11,933 --> 00:01:14,653
Speaker 2: could honestly, I find the mesmerizing, so Yeah, it's a

23
00:01:14,693 --> 00:01:15,813
Speaker 2: real treat to be able to.

24
00:01:16,373 --> 00:01:21,213
Speaker 3: Abst be wonderful. Yeah, and anyway, jealous, I've never been

25
00:01:21,213 --> 00:01:23,733
Speaker 3: in I've ever been in Costa Rica. I've been next door,

26
00:01:23,773 --> 00:01:27,053
Speaker 3: of course, in Panama, Venezuela, Equid or all these places,

27
00:01:27,093 --> 00:01:29,373
Speaker 3: but never in Costa Rica. I've always wanted to go there.

28
00:01:29,413 --> 00:01:33,413
Speaker 3: So I'll ever chat about that another day though, very good.

29
00:01:33,293 --> 00:01:35,053
Speaker 2: We'll have to. I think it would be your kind

30
00:01:35,053 --> 00:01:36,853
Speaker 2: of place. I think twenty five percent of the country

31
00:01:36,893 --> 00:01:38,933
Speaker 2: has been given over to national park, so I think

32
00:01:40,013 --> 00:01:41,453
Speaker 2: it was just the optimistic that it would be a

33
00:01:41,453 --> 00:01:43,053
Speaker 2: client pass kind of the part of the world.

34
00:01:44,173 --> 00:01:46,573
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, auro crusal proluction kind of world.

35
00:01:47,213 --> 00:01:50,213
Speaker 2: Yes. Anyway, to the rain.

36
00:01:51,293 --> 00:01:53,973
Speaker 3: Yes, if it rains too much and your plants are

37
00:01:53,973 --> 00:01:57,973
Speaker 3: constantly inundated with water, your roots do not know where

38
00:01:58,013 --> 00:02:00,773
Speaker 3: the heck to go. This is a hazard for the plants.

39
00:02:00,813 --> 00:02:03,813
Speaker 3: You get five top three, you get pityu and fusarium,

40
00:02:04,133 --> 00:02:07,133
Speaker 3: i'm malaria, all sorts of root ross. So this is

41
00:02:07,173 --> 00:02:09,413
Speaker 3: what we're from now on on talk back radio. I

42
00:02:09,453 --> 00:02:10,893
Speaker 3: bet you we'll get a hell of a lot of

43
00:02:10,973 --> 00:02:15,773
Speaker 3: questions about whole hedge rows dying as a result of that.

44
00:02:15,973 --> 00:02:19,013
Speaker 3: So I just want to say, you know, keep your

45
00:02:19,213 --> 00:02:22,933
Speaker 3: keep your stuff clean. If you like clean of water,

46
00:02:22,973 --> 00:02:26,293
Speaker 3: if you get if it's on an angle, why not

47
00:02:26,733 --> 00:02:31,013
Speaker 3: get nice little if you like, you know place that

48
00:02:31,093 --> 00:02:34,173
Speaker 3: you can actually get rid of the water. Just steer

49
00:02:34,173 --> 00:02:38,173
Speaker 3: it away, steer it to the neighbors, for instance, which

50
00:02:38,453 --> 00:02:44,533
Speaker 3: it is always very anyway. Yeah, you go, but what

51
00:02:45,013 --> 00:02:46,733
Speaker 3: are you Quite often you can see this with the

52
00:02:46,813 --> 00:02:49,533
Speaker 3: stress of the plants, this coloration of the leaves that

53
00:02:49,773 --> 00:02:53,253
Speaker 3: blisters and the leaf for you can pick it quite

54
00:02:53,333 --> 00:02:57,333
Speaker 3: quickly and and it is really hard check to do

55
00:02:57,453 --> 00:03:00,453
Speaker 3: anything about it. You've got to be quickly on the

56
00:03:00,493 --> 00:03:04,333
Speaker 3: ball to get these things going. And you know, one

57
00:03:04,333 --> 00:03:08,733
Speaker 3: of the good materials is that planned of boxes lightbuster.

58
00:03:09,133 --> 00:03:13,013
Speaker 3: I like that name. The plant helps boxes lightbuster, and

59
00:03:13,053 --> 00:03:18,053
Speaker 3: that can actually control some of these root rot species

60
00:03:18,093 --> 00:03:20,333
Speaker 3: like fight offtra et cetera. As long as you are

61
00:03:20,613 --> 00:03:23,853
Speaker 3: on the ball, that's basically what it is.

62
00:03:23,893 --> 00:03:29,053
Speaker 2: A yeah, so a little bit of tal landscaping is

63
00:03:29,173 --> 00:03:30,413
Speaker 2: very a smart idea.

64
00:03:30,493 --> 00:03:30,613
Speaker 1: Right.

65
00:03:30,613 --> 00:03:32,093
Speaker 2: You don't want to be digging a whole trench, but

66
00:03:32,133 --> 00:03:35,253
Speaker 2: if you can just try and divert some of the some.

67
00:03:35,173 --> 00:03:37,213
Speaker 3: Of that you've got that drainage away.

68
00:03:37,253 --> 00:03:39,053
Speaker 2: From from your most vulnerable plant.

69
00:03:39,133 --> 00:03:42,493
Speaker 3: That makes a lot, especially especially if you've got a

70
00:03:42,533 --> 00:03:45,653
Speaker 3: slight hangar if you like in your garden that you

71
00:03:45,653 --> 00:03:48,853
Speaker 3: can actually take it away so it's not all The

72
00:03:48,853 --> 00:03:51,453
Speaker 3: second thing is then that's a really good one. Some

73
00:03:51,533 --> 00:03:55,173
Speaker 3: of the plants are really good to put in big pots,

74
00:03:55,213 --> 00:03:59,933
Speaker 3: like large pots, but they need to have holes, drainage holes,

75
00:04:00,173 --> 00:04:03,373
Speaker 3: good drainage holes in the bottom, and check those drainage

76
00:04:03,373 --> 00:04:06,493
Speaker 3: holes are not clogged. All these things count in this case.

77
00:04:06,973 --> 00:04:09,653
Speaker 4: And remove all and first, if you've got them on

78
00:04:09,693 --> 00:04:13,613
Speaker 4: trade sources, remove the plants from the trays and sources

79
00:04:13,733 --> 00:04:16,693
Speaker 4: and let them dry out. Honestly, it's the only way

80
00:04:16,693 --> 00:04:16,933
Speaker 4: to go.

81
00:04:17,693 --> 00:04:19,253
Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I made the

82
00:04:19,293 --> 00:04:21,293
Speaker 2: mistake last season with my passion for it. I didn't

83
00:04:21,333 --> 00:04:23,973
Speaker 2: have big enough holes in my pot. So I learned

84
00:04:24,013 --> 00:04:26,133
Speaker 2: that the hard way. But that's really really good advice

85
00:04:26,173 --> 00:04:27,933
Speaker 2: because we're going to do everything we can at the

86
00:04:27,933 --> 00:04:30,253
Speaker 2: moment to drown to dry out plants. After a couple

87
00:04:30,253 --> 00:04:32,333
Speaker 2: of weeks we've had Thank you so much. Rude route
