He took a lot of heirloom roses which 54 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: have the unique forms, and across thas with newer oh 55 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: and in fragrance fragrance and crosses with newer roses to 56 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:16,679 Speaker 1: come up with these heritage look alike type. 57 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, we still have the good qualities of the old ones. 58 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: Great qualities of the old ones and the good qualities 59 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: of the new ones and mix them together and there 60 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: must I don't know how many he put out, but 61 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: it was. 62 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 2: A lot, so many, Yeah, so many.

I do too, you know, 64 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 2: I'll be honest, I am not a big rose lover. 65 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 2: Just after working in the field many years. There's there's 66 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 2: a lot of knockout roses out in landscapes that I 67 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 2: encountered and had painful interactions with. And I got to 68 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 2: the point where I was like, I am never going 69 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 2: to have a rose in my home garden. But I 70 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 2: tell you what times it was David Austin. 71 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 3: He to me. 72 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 2: So I ended up planting to David Austin roses and 73 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 2: they they are nice. Yeah, roses. Uh, they're they're kind 74 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,239 Speaker 2: of challenging with disease issues and you know, they need 75 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:17,679 Speaker 2: they need certain conditions. But uh, there's there's just nothing 76 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 2: like a cut rose in a vase. I'm mostly grown 77 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 2: for it. 78 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: Give credit to roses. You know, there's two that I 79 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: would consider buying. One are David Austin's and then the 80 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: new disease resistant shrub roses, which are also out there 81 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: in plentiful. 82 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 2: Truly, roses are are much better than what they used 83 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 2: to be. 84 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 1: They're better, you know, in their constant with their bloom. Yeah, 85 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: you know, so there is a place for him. 86 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm still careful about watering, you know, Like there's 87 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 2: just something about wet foliage on a rose that makes 88 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 2: my skin crawl. 89 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: It's ingrain. 90 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 2: Yeah. 91 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: So a couple of weeks ago when you were on 92 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 1: the show, or maybe it was last week, I can't remember. 93 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: I can't keep trying. Last week was with Mark Wessel. 94 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,799 Speaker 1: Two weeks ago we reported and commented about and laughed 95 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: about the Frank's Red Hot sauce spill on the freeway. 96 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 2: Are you telling me that there's a follow up to that? 97 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 1: There is a follow up to it, but it's not 98 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: what you expect. 99 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 2: I don't know if I expect anything. 100 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: Well, here it comes.

Oh yeah. 178 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 1: We in talking with Gary Jeff Walker in the studio 179 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: behind us. A couple of weeks ago, a longtime great broadcaster. 180 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: We determined that a rubber chicken is gold when it 181 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: comes to media, television shows, radio shows. Kind of a 182 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 1: long history of a rubber chicken in Cincinnati broadcasting. 183 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so. 184 00:11:55,880 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: I acquired a rubber chicken. Okay, can you give it 185 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: a squeak? 186 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:02,559 Speaker 5: Here we go. 187 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: I promise that we're not going to do that very often, 188 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: if at all. I mean, it's going to have to 189 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: be an extreme situation where we hit the squeak. 190 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, we should put this on the Facebook page. 191 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: We should. When I get a Facebook. 192 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 2: Page, the image of it is it. 193 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: Really it's a terrifying rubber chicken. 194 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:26,319 Speaker 2: It's a terrifying and terrified rubber chicken. This is a 195 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 2: chicken in a state of distress. 196 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:33,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the best only way to describe that, I think. Yeah, 197 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: but we need a name for this chicken. So we 198 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: kind of worked on some things. I was trying to 199 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 1: find a name with egg in it or you came 200 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: up with Ova, which we both agree. So if you 201 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: have an idea on what we should call this good luck, 202 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: this talisman rubber chicken that we have here now and 203 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 1: we'll always have here. 204 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 2: Now and this is its personality. 205 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, and like I said, we will keep that to 206 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 1: a minimum. Yeah, uh, it will something major has to 207 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: happen before we do that. 208 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 2: It'll be But you're saying we might need it. 209 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: We might need it sometimes. Yeah, I had another item 210 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: and it's gone. Let's just go ahead and jump into 211 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: national days of And we do this every week?

When I was looking at the schedule, 238 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 2: that was the talk that I was the least excited about. 239 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 2: It's hard to get excited about moths, but that was 240 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 2: a fascinating talk. I had no idea how much more 241 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 2: to Well, first of all, they're so weird, and yeah, 242 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 2: some of it are so beautiful, but what really struck 243 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 2: me is that there's just so many more of them 244 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 2: than butterflies. Butterflies get all the attention their daytime. Yeah, 245 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 2: their daytime, they're pretty.

Yeah, how that really benefits 253 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: lightning bugs, But it also benefits moths in a way. 254 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: They need darkness, yes, And you know, they're just absolutely fascinating. 255 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 1: Some beautiful caterpillars, beautiful moss.

It was very fuzzy, and 260 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 2: I was like, what is eating milkweed that can survive 261 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 2: these toxins. And sure enough, there's a moth. The cats 262 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 2: were out in the daytime, and you know there was 263 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 2: there were a ton of them. I mistook it for 264 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 2: a butterfly, but no, it was a moth. A moth, 265 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 2: and the adult is pretty nondescript. I never would have 266 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 2: noticed it, but the caterpillar was very beautiful, pretty cool. Yeah. 267 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: You know a lot of people would see that on 268 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: their plants, or any caterpillar on their plants and think, 269 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: oh my god, I've got a past. 270 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 2: Yeah. 271 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: Always always hesitate before you go and spray anything, find 272 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: out what it is. 273 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 2: Oh, I was delighted to see it. 274 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: It's so much easier to find out what a caterpillar 275 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: is anymore, ye to I naturalist or be identifying apps. 276 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, we It used to be really hard.

Oh okay, so the literal meaning of 329 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 1: threading a needle. There's finding a path between two opposing 330 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: views threading the needle. It's a billiard move. I did 331 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,400 Speaker 1: not know that. But of course it's like going. 332 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 2: Between I guess that makes sense. 333 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: Yoga posts, okay, Yeah, and It's also a term used 334 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 1: in sports when people are throwing like a football between 335 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: two defenders.

Oh yeah, yeah. 653 00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 1: I try to impress cops with that when I'm pulled over. 654 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:12,360 Speaker 2: It. 655 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:16,480 Speaker 1: It's a low growing i'd say six to eight inch tall, 656 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:21,320 Speaker 1: maybe a little taller groundcover. Spreads really nicely. Yeah, starts 657 00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:25,160 Speaker 1: blooming in May and continues to frost and it just 658 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:30,160 Speaker 1: continuous bloom of this right, just sky blue flower, which 659 00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 1: is so nice. 660 00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:35,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's small, it's not like something that's going to 661 00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:38,920 Speaker 2: knock your socks off, but it's a really good functional 662 00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:42,319 Speaker 2: plant for covering the ground. It does well with sun, 663 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 2: it does well with a little shade. Really. The only 664 00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,840 Speaker 2: the only issues I've seen with it are when people 665 00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,320 Speaker 2: have put it in an area where it can't spread, 666 00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:54,759 Speaker 2: or they don't really want it to spread, or they 667 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 2: just get tired of the look. 668 00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 1: And it's not but super aggressive. It's spreading, but it 669 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 1: will spread. I planted some probably like probably one pot 670 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:08,560 Speaker 1: of it. I'm going back at least twenty years and 671 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 1: it is now sort of covered an area that's like, 672 00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,880 Speaker 1: I don't know, twenty by thirty. But you know, it 673 00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:17,839 Speaker 1: allows for other things to go through it. It's not 674 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:22,719 Speaker 1: going to you know, quash other plants from thriving. So 675 00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:24,400 Speaker 1: it works well in the garden bed that I have 676 00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,200 Speaker 1: it in. I just saw a patch of it in 677 00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:31,080 Speaker 1: absolute full sun and it looked a little crispy. Yeah, 678 00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,279 Speaker 1: So I think of it more as a partial a 679 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:34,760 Speaker 1: little bit of shade. 680 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. I wouldn't go full South on it, but I've 681 00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,160 Speaker 2: seen it do well in east and west exposure. 682 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:44,880 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, And it does pretty good into fairly deep shade. 683 00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 1: Not full shade by any means, but yeah, getting deeper 684 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,000 Speaker 1: into shade than you think. I'm going to call out 685 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:55,120 Speaker 1: Japanese maples. Yeah, I love them all year round, and 686 00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:58,040 Speaker 1: it's easy to forget about them, like for right now, 687 00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,680 Speaker 1: but they're looking so good. Of them still have that color, 688 00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:06,520 Speaker 1: the red or the yellow that they started the spring with. 689 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,200 Speaker 1: Sometimes that fades in the green before you get into 690 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,959 Speaker 1: this incredible fall color. Yeah, but everything about the tree 691 00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:14,480 Speaker 1: is beautiful with the form. 692 00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,120 Speaker 2: I do love Japanese Yeah, they're tough. 693 00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:17,680 Speaker 3: Yeah. 694 00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:19,840 Speaker 1: People think, oh, it's such a pretty tree. It's a 695 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:24,600 Speaker 1: small tree. It's not that adaptable, but it is. It 696 00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,959 Speaker 1: can take shade Alma's full sun or even full sum 697 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,120 Speaker 1: with some cultivars with irrigation. 698 00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 2: At my old place there was one. It was a 699 00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:40,280 Speaker 2: red leaf weeping variety and it was western exposure, full 700 00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:44,080 Speaker 2: blazing sun. You know, I didn't really water it a 701 00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:48,439 Speaker 2: whole lot. It got hit with late frost or late 702 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,879 Speaker 2: card freezes and everything, but it's still was just a 703 00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:55,680 Speaker 2: fantastic sprand performer, and the character that they develop over 704 00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 2: time is wonderful, unbeatable as long as you don't hedge 705 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:00,200 Speaker 2: clip it or or. 706 00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,400 Speaker 1: Do something, do something to let it be what it 707 00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:02,960 Speaker 1: wants to be. 708 00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,799 Speaker 2: It has the space that it needs to grow in 709 00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,160 Speaker 2: a natural way, and you prune it in a way 710 00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,760 Speaker 2: that preserves that natural form instead of trying to hedge 711 00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:14,120 Speaker 2: clip it. Ever ever, you will end up with a 712 00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:14,719 Speaker 2: piece of art. 713 00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,720 Speaker 1: There are I didn't know this. I knew there were many, 714 00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:21,879 Speaker 1: but there are over three thousand verified cultivars of Japanese ment. 715 00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:23,680 Speaker 2: That actually doesn't surprise me. 716 00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:24,879 Speaker 1: There's a lot. 717 00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:26,360 Speaker 2: It's almost out of control. 718 00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:30,040 Speaker 1: It is out of control. It's been in cultivation since 719 00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:33,200 Speaker 1: the eighteen hundreds. Arrived in Britain in eighteen twenty one. 720 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:37,560 Speaker 1: Native to Korea, Japan, China, East Mongolian for our Eastern Russia. 721 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,799 Speaker 1: Give you some ideas, I think the only thing it 722 00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:45,239 Speaker 1: really does not like our constantly wet feet. Yeah, it 723 00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,399 Speaker 1: does not do well with that when we come back, 724 00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:51,279 Speaker 1: we'll finish out favorite Plants right now, talk about a 725 00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:55,360 Speaker 1: few timely tasks, and then we'll jump into our top 726 00:41:55,680 --> 00:42:01,040 Speaker 1: favorite plants for beauty and functions function and that'll be 727 00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:06,600 Speaker 1: with Jennifer Smith and Heather Augustine.
